【Chapter 74】

Maybe there’s a chance of winning.

No, with Kail unconscious the possibility is slim, but I have to do something.

“Kail!”

I squeezed out my voice with all my strength while being held by the knight.

“Wake up!”

Please wake up.

“Wake up and call the monsters right now! They must be somewhere in the royal palace!”

This place is central.

No matter how skilled the royal knights are, unless they’re from the north, they wouldn’t have properly faced monsters before.

If Kail calls the monsters trapped around here, there might be a chance.

“Kail, please call the monsters loudly,”

But-

“Tsk. Aisha. After going to the north, you’ve only gained strange fantasies.”

Bang!

Along with Pose Duke’s voice, the door slammed shut.

* * *

The room that had become noisy from Aisha’s struggle fell silent as soon as the door closed.

It was as if it had been cut off from the world.

A boy collapsed in the corner of the room. Empty bottles rolling on the floor and black liquids splattered everywhere like bloodstains.

‘Find Aisha.’

Kail still lay motionless.

The potion that had stuck between his closed eyelids, over his round cheeks, and around his nose as he breathed laboriously had already dried.

Hahaha-!

The faint laughter of nobles could be heard from beyond the closed window.

‘Find Aisha.’

As the sun tilted in the sky that had changed from early lunch to afternoon, the sunlight illuminating the room was buried in shadows.

That’s when it happened.

‘Find Aisha!’

Kail’s eyelids slowly opened.

His violet eyes that stared at the ceiling glowed in the darkness like those of a beast.

Soon-

“…Kyaaaaaaak!”

A tremendous roar like a building collapsing was heard.

And the sounds outside the window that had been filled with laughter turned into terrible screams.

“It’s monsters!”

The monsters Kail had summoned broke through the iron bars and escaped outside the castle.

“…Aisha.”

Kail, who had been unconscious for just a moment, had actually awakened just before Aisha left.

His limbs were stiff and his eyelids were closed, but though he couldn’t see, he had been listening to Aisha’s general situation.

And one thing Kail realized.

When monsters were nearby, he could call them with his heart and receive their response.

As soon as he woke up, Kail desperately commanded, and the monsters responded.

‘Want to go out. Going out.’

It was a simple and clumsy response, but that was enough.

At first they hesitated.

Having lived trapped in iron cages since they were young, they had never thought of escaping.

But.

‘There’s your homeland in the north. Don’t hurt other people, just save Aisha and return home.’

Kail could feel the monsters trembling at his explanation.

At the words that there was a place to return to, they became curious about the world outside the iron bars they had never wondered about.

“…”

Listening to the situation outside, Kail sat up and looked around.

Now that the drug’s effects had worn off and he could move his body. But those bad guys had taken Aisha away.

Aisha.

My Aisha.

My precious home that I must not lose.

“I have to save Aisha.”

He opened the window with a rattle.

Unlike the north, the wind in the central region was sticky and humid.

He wanted to return home quickly.

* * *

A little before Kail woke up.

Grace, who had heard about Aisha’s identity from Callipus, said nothing special. Instead.

“Find Princess Aisha. This is an order to all the close knights of the Queen’s Palace.”

She simply moved to a more secluded place and commanded her close knights.

“And at the same time, block all the passages leading out to the central city. Don’t let a single person escape the capital.”

“Yes. Understood.”

She knew the priority of all events.

The fact that Princess Aisha was a spy for the Pose Duke’s family was shocking, but given that the person who revealed this was none other than Callipus, she decided to focus on finding Aisha.

Callipus hates Pose Duke. Grace felt the same way.

Though she pretended not to know, she knew the real culprit behind the recent monster rampage incident thanks to Nox.

‘The fact that at the center of that incident was King Arzen, who secretly envied Callipus.’

Just thinking about her suffocating husband’s face made her close her eyes briefly.

‘No. Arzen’s thoughts can wait. Right now, Callipus must hate Pose Duke’s spy more than I do.’

Anyway, Callipus loved Aisha.

Even without hearing direct words, she could tell from his actions.

He hadn’t put Aisha down on the floor throughout the entire banquet.

Whenever the child stretched her neck out to look around the banquet, the corners of his mouth would naturally rise as he watched her.

‘They really seemed like father and daughter.’

There must have been many ups and downs between the two.

But that was their business. Grace didn’t need to hear about it, nor did she have time to.

Right now, Aisha’s safety was important.

“Duke.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll ask about Miss Aisha’s story again after the incident is over.”

“…!”

Callipus’s eyes slowly widened at Grace’s swift response.

“Thank you.”

He was bowing sincerely to Grace when.

“A man and woman standing in this secluded place!”

An exaggeratedly surprised voice burst out from around the corner of the corridor.

“Grace. You showed such interest in monsters, are you having a secret meeting with the hero who kills monsters?”

It was King Arzen.

‘The banquet hall is on the opposite side, so why did he appear from this direction?’

Grace was puzzled, but Arzen, who was looking back and forth between her and Callipus, also seemed to be having strange misunderstandings.

She looked at Arzen and answered calmly.

“Your Majesty. That is a remark that is rude to Your Majesty, to me, and to the Duke.”

“Rude? I’m saying, Grace. I think it’s more rude that you made me see my woman with another man in a secluded corridor.”

But.

“Your Majesty. Haven’t you seen Princess Aisha?”

Callipus ignored Arjen’s mockery and asked quietly.

It wasn’t only Grace who found King Arjen suspicious.

Callipus, who had been quietly observing him, felt the same way.

“The princess? Ah, you mean that blonde twin-tailed child? I don’t know.”

Naturally, Arjen shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

“You really haven’t seen her?”

“Why are you asking me about the princess? I really don’t know, I tell you.”

“But how do you know what our daughter looks like?”

However, at Callipus’s words, Arjen’s steps came to an abrupt halt.

“Since you didn’t attend the regular banquet, you shouldn’t have ever seen our daughter’s face.”

Unlike Grace, Arjen was driven more by emotion than reason.

And this tendency of Arjen’s was clearly revealed once again this time.

“…Ah, that Princess Aisha is so famous, you see. I just heard about her appearance from people around me.”

Because Arjen’s face had turned deathly pale as he lied.

‘There’s definitely something.’

Callipus’s gaze turned sinister as he stared at Arjen. Just as Callipus was about to approach the king.

CRASH-!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar that shook the ground. And.

“It’s a monster!”

“A monster has appeared!”

Along with the panicked shouts of knights, one of the royal palace knights came running to Arjen.

“Your Majesty. It’s a monster invasion. Monsters have suddenly appeared in the royal palace!”

“What? Why did they escape from the cage?”

The startled Arjen looked as if he might faint at any moment.

“Pardon? A cage, what do you mean…”

As the knight, who was unaware of Arjen’s secret hobby, looked bewildered-

“How many? What type of monsters?”

Grace quickly seized control and asked.

“Two of them. They appear to be Giant Orcs.”

“Have 20 knights evacuate the nobles and servants from the banquet hall to the annex. If they appeared in the royal palace, we should have that much time.”

“Yes.”

“And have all the remaining knights engage the monsters. Giant Orcs aren’t something humans can handle easily. Either kill them with full force, or if you can’t kill them, don’t let them escape outside the royal palace.”

“Yes!”

Just as the knight who had saluted at the swift orders was about to leave.

“Your Majesty.”

A large hand suddenly blocked the knight’s path.

“Please cancel that order.”

It was Callipus.
