CHAPTER 41

“My brother has been fighting the beasts with a sword since he was 15 years old.
So, he’ll be fine.”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

Agnes muttered the words several times.
Otherwise, she couldn’t stay still.

“Because he made a promise with me.
He’ll definitely come back,”

She closed her eyes and recalled his dark green eyes.
She remembered the lips that said they would come back.
That was all Agnes could do.

* * *

Estar Castle was surprisingly fast in preparing for the battle and stacking food.

It was thanks to Agnes’ quick and careful instructions.
From some point on, Zoltan followed Agnes like a lord.

“I’m glad we have plenty of food.”

Niall said with a sigh of relief.

Recently, when gold coins were moved to a new building, the empty warehouses that were filled with food were of great help.

She also asked the wizards for help in combat but they shook their heads….

“I’m sorry, Duchess.
We still lack research on combat magic.”

“Okay.”

If this is over safely, I should first instruct them to study combat magic.

She smacked her lips out of regret, but there’s nothing she can do about it.

Two days have passed since the gate was blocked.
But in the afternoon, an eerie bell rang in the castle.

Deng deng deng deng deng deng deng.

“BEAST!”

I was awakened by someone’s shouting.

Agnes jumped up from her seat and found Zoltan.
He was passing through the hallway in a black armor.

“What happened?”

“It’s a Lequi.”

“How many?”

Zoltan’s face, seriously hardened.

“Only seventeen in sight.”

“…Can you do it?”

Ney’s face, who was listening next to her, turned white.

Lequi is notorious for their love of crowds and high intelligence.

Even one is too much, but I can’t believe It’s 17.

Agnes bit the inside of her mouth.
The question made Zoltan laugh out of context.

“I will do it, because I made a promise to my brother to protect the princess.”

She doesn’t know what to say.
Agnes took a breath and looked at him.

“Come back alive.”

That’s all she wants to say.

“Yes.”

Zoltan flapped his red cape and walked to the other side.

Agnes managed to gather her heart shaken by anxiety and gathered the servants in one place.

“Madam.
The beast ·····.”

Everyone’s faces turned white out of nervousness.

News of the collapse of the defense line has already spread widely in the castle.

Tears were about to burst in the eyes of the young maids.

“Estar has been a fortress for a thousand years.
Don’t worry too much, as the knights, including Sir Zoltan, went out to finish the beast.”

Agnes met the eyes of the people in front of her and said.

“We have enough food left and the Duke Arpad will return soon.
All we have to do is wait.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Comforting them well, Agnes headed to the center of the castle.

There is a large window, so she can look out of the castle from the inside.

I heard shouts of the soldiers through the window.

I could see a glance of the group of lequi running from afar.

Agnes closed her eyes and put her hands together to pray earnestly.

It was not clear for whom and what.

It was just a desperate plea.

‘Please.
Come back safely.’

“Madam!”

Ney, who was next to her, shook Agnes urgently.

I stopped praying and raised my head.

The Lequi completely surrounded the castle.
The neighborhood was so dark but I could see how many there were.

Even if you count it with your eyes, you can say they are over seventeen.

I lost my mind.
There are only 15 knights in the castle and only 50 soldiers.

There was a thumping sound on the wall with the sound of air cracking.

A person’s scream is getting closer.

Boom boom.

Her legs were shaking.

Then the beasts began to stick one by one over the window.

There was a crack in the window.
The window is  about to break.

“Ma, ma’am!”

Ney cried out half-way.
Agnes bit her lips hard.

* * *

“Lord!”

He was just pulling out a sword stuck in the body of the beast.

Ralph was rushing in from afar.

Coooooo!

While looking away for a moment, six lequi ran in all directions screaming.

Laslo shook the sword in the air and cut the beast straight from left to right.

Kyak!

It was only one movement.

That was all it took, the three Beasts fell down, spilling blood at once.

As soon as the three fell down, the remaining three rushed behind Laslo.

He didn’t blink and turn around as he cut off the neck of each beast.

Blood flowed like a river on the floor.

Ralph, with a tired face, went over the corpse of the beast and approached Laslo.

“You’re really incredible.”

“What’s going on?”

“By the way! Lequi has invaded the castle.
It’s not a lot, though.”

“What about the princess?”

“What?”

“Is there another elesh next to the princess?”

“Oh, Kess is there…”

He blurred the end of his speech.
Kess was better at hiding than swordsmanship.
Knowing that, Laslo frowned.

“Bring my horse.
Right now.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Ralph ran away quickly.

* * *

“Madam! Over here!”

It was then.
I heard a sound from far away that I didn’t know whether it was screaming or cheering.

The beasts attached to the window screamed and began to fall one by one.

Agnes plucked up her courage and walked close to the window.

“It’s the Lord!”

Ney jumped and shouted.
Agnes looked around frantically.

Squeak!

Lequi cried long.

Laslo was killing the flock of beasts with a sword as tall as Agnes.

Every time he swung a sword, he knocked down a lequi, but the battle was prolonged because they were crowding.

“Ah······.”

To make matters worse, the sky on the other side began to turn dark.

What I thought was dark clouds was actually a winged horseman.

Zoltan and several other knights ran over there.

kwaeeek kwaeek

Some of those with arrows fired at the beast up in the sky, but there was no hit.

A fairly large horseman descended sharply and tried to snatch Laslo with its claws.

Laslo calmly responded with a sword.

She felt urgency even though she was far away.

After finishing one, the other beast began to descend toward Laslo.

“No!”

Agnes screamed without realizing it.

The beast came down endlessly.
On top of that, six lequi stuck together at once.

Laslo was seen sporadically through the black wings.

Agnes stomped her feet.
Her heart beat very fast.

The situation was too disadvantageous.
There are knights around Laslo, but they were busy dealing with other lequi.

I can see Laslo moving from a distance.

However, he was covered in red and his movement is slower than before.

“What should I do? What should I do?”

“EUGENE!”

Suddenly, her thoughts went crazy.

“What? Why are you suddenly calling …… a wizard?”

Ney, who was next to her, looked at Agnes with strange eyes.

“Come on out!”

“Did you call my princess?”

Eugene’s soft and low voice was heard behind her back.

“h, h, how?”

Ney stepped back in surprise as if she were going to faint.

Agnes pointed Ney with her chin.

Understanding what she meant, Eugene slightly pointed her finger at her.
In an instant, Ney’s eyes became blank.

“Say it now.
Agnes.”

“Help me.”

Agnes didn’t hold back.
She wasn’t in the situation.

“What?”

“Didn’t you say you are the king of magic?”

Obviously, it came to her mind that Eugene introduced himself like that.

“That’s right.”

He nodded as he acted carelessly.

“Then it would be possible to kill the beast.”

“Of course, it’s possible,”

Eugene smiled sweetly and whispered.

“But it’s because Jane is starving.
How can you drive out someone who came because she’s hungry? She’s like my child.”

He’s not like a dragon, but a snake that had a skeptical smile.

Agnes immediately noticed what it meant.

“I’ll do what you want.”

“I’m so happy that you understand what I’m saying.”

“Say it.”

“I need you to go somewhere with me, Agnes.”

“Do I just have to go?”

She talked to him and kept glancing outside at the same time.

The body of lequi is piling up around Laslo.
At the same time, his movement slowed significantly.

He was still holding out, but she was nervous because she didn’t know when he would collapse.

“Go and do what I tell you to do.”

“I’ll do that.”

Agnes replied quickly.
It doesn’t matter what it is.

“Good.”

Eugene raised his hand high.
He opened his palm and muttered something.
It was not a human language.
