Only I Have Two Towers Episode 117

Air Raid

I lay sprawled out, staring at the ceiling.

Indeed, a castle representing Wales.

From the walls to the ceiling, there wasn’t a single place that had been carelessly made.

‘Life really is unpredictable, even one step ahead.’

I had planned to just quietly visit Snowdonia Park and come back.

Somehow, I ended up infiltrating all the way to a bed in Conwy Castle’s annex.

“Momo wants to take this!”

When did she manifest?

Momo ran to the wall and pointed at an old candlestick with her finger.

“This is super expensive! If we take it, we can add it to Jeon Yong-gi’s fund!”

“Oh no. Stealing is wrong, Momo. Of course, it’s okay to steal from bad people.”

“Then let’s say this castle is where the demon king lives!”

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.

To think she’d turn ordinary people into demon kings just to justify stealing.

What a scary friend.

If left alone, she’d probably strip Conwy Castle bare.

I quickly grabbed Momo and threw her onto the bed.

“It’s super fluffy!”

At least she can’t steal the bed.

Seira manifested near the door.

Seira slowly approached and bowed respectfully.

“Thank you, master. It was a request that changed our existing plans.”

Aman Leonhardt, who was saved by Berid Winsor of the Black Knight Order.

And Sofia, who inherited the bloodline of the dynasty that Aman established.

When Seira heard this story, she was greatly relieved.

She said she was glad to be able to save once again the bloodline that her comrade had tried to protect.

“Hey, what’s with the stiff talk?”

I walked over to Seira and put my arm around her shoulder.

“I’m always indebted to you too, Seira. That’s truly an unpayable debt. So tell me anytime. I’ll help you even if I have to change plans thirty million times.”

“Momo wants to ask for favors too!”

“Momo, feel free to ask too. I’ll specially change plans thirty million and one times for you!”

“Wow! That’s more than Seira!”

“Then how many times for me!?”

“Kancheo gets thirty million and one times too.”

“I don’t like being the same as this steamed bun, but joint first place is good!”

Kancheo and Momo would obviously fight over who was better if I didn’t match the numbers.

Jinhyeok had become quite skilled at handling children.

Watching this scene, Seira smiled.

How should I put it.

Being with them brings back very old memories, or more precisely, cherished memories.

The memories that Seira Kinketon, commander of the Black Knight Order, considered the happiest.

Jinhyeok, who had been playing with Kancheo and Momo, turned his head.

And gazed quietly at Seira.

“You’re worried about Sofia, aren’t you?”

Seira nodded as if she’d been caught.

For some reason unknown to her.

Master Yoo Jin-hyeok.

Just standing before him made it impossible to hide her true feelings.

“You should speak honestly about such things.”

“I was hesitating because it seemed to stray too far from our plans.”

The plan was to leave for Snowdonia immediately after bringing Sofia to Conwy Castle.

However, knowing the true identity of the Winsor surname, Seira wanted to help Sofia to the end.

We were going to find the final destination of the Black Knight Order, but we couldn’t leave Seira at Conwy Castle.

But we also couldn’t force her to come to the Tomb of Swords when her heart was troubled.

“Hmm.”

Jinhyeok rubbed his chin at tremendous speed with his eyes closed.

He had decided to help Sofia to the end as Seira wanted.

However, he couldn’t postpone clearing the Legendary Quest indefinitely.

If this wasn’t cleared, he couldn’t climb the Mythic Tower.

‘The one threatening Sofia is Prince Widric, and the reason that bastard is doing this crazy thing is to become first in line for the throne.’

There was no need to think long about it.

Jinhyeok snapped his fingers and opened his eyes.

In short, if the threat called Widric disappeared and Sofia safely completed her succession to the throne, everything would be perfectly fine.

Just as he was about to head straight to the main hall where people had gathered.

Knock knock.

A knock came at perfect timing.

“It’s Olivia.”

“Yes.”

When the door opened, Olivia bowed her head.

Olivia had become incredibly polite since her life was saved.

Though there was no need to be so formal.

“I’m sorry for the late hour. Could you possibly come with me?”

“Of course.”

I was planning to look for you anyway, so this works out well.

I followed Olivia as she led the way.

Throughout the walk, Jinhyeok constantly looked around.

With various patterns and decorations, it really was a magnificent space.

‘I should brag about this later.’

Though I’m not sure who I should brag to since no one would believe me, anyway.

“Um…”

Olivia, who was walking ahead, carefully began to speak.

“Please speak comfortably. You don’t need to treat me formally.”

“Thank you.”

Olivia took a small deep breath and continued.

“When we get to the main hall, Princess Sofia will tell you. She’ll say she’ll arrange transportation to Snowdonia, so please leave Conwy Castle.”

“I guess Conwy Castle isn’t safe either.”

“No… News has come in. London’s movements are unusual. They say Widric is mobilizing all his connections to gather troops. Soon, a storm will reach Conwy Castle too.”

“Can’t you ask the British government or other royal forces for help?”

“There are the Royal Knights who protect the royal family. They’re the most powerful force in the royal family. But they won’t help Sofia. They only move on the king’s orders. Even though she’s in a coma, the current queen, Elisia, is still alive, so they’ll wait until she awakens.”

“The fact that the Royal Knights won’t move even though Prince Widric put Queen Elisia in a coma means… there’s no physical evidence?”

Olivia nodded and looked at Jinhyeok.

Even when speaking roughly, Jinhyeok understood perfectly and grasped the overall situation.

He was young but clever.

“It’s also the reason Widric didn’t kill the queen. If the queen dies, the throne will pass to Princess Sofia according to her will. Then the Royal Knights will follow Sofia’s orders. The entire situation would be reversed at once.”

“Is the government originally neutral?”

“Yes. The government and royal family are strictly independent entities. Interfering wouldn’t look good. Besides, there are probably many people who have connections with Widric, knowingly or unknowingly. Widric has been doing groundwork to become king for a very long time.”

Basically, there’s no one to help.

They have to somehow win with just the personnel at Conwy Castle, but no matter how I looked at it, there seemed to be no chance of victory.

Olivia stopped walking.

And she turned to look at Jinhyeok, taking a deep breath.

“This is shameless of me to ask someone who already saved my life.”

Olivia bowed her head at a 90-degree angle.

“Could you please stay at Kon Satellite? Could you help Lady Sofia here…?”

Olivia, who had barely managed to squeeze out those words, closed her eyes.

Even for her, these weren’t easy words to say.

But she had to say them.

Sofia and Kon Satellite were isolated.

The Golden Lion Corps they had trusted suffered near-total annihilation due to the Joipin Unit.

No matter how many remaining personnel they gathered, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to Widric’s forces coming from London.

In such a situation, a Runner had appeared.

For those who had to grasp at straws, it was like a ray of hope descending.

The moment they let go of this hope, Kon Satellite would turn to ashes.

And the world would only spread fabricated truths.

“I’m neither royalty nor a high-ranking official, so I have nothing to offer, but I’ll repay you somehow. I’ll do anything. Whatever you ask of me.”

Someone might say,

Olivia, couldn’t you just run away too?

But she couldn’t do that.

It wasn’t simply because of loyalty.

Olivia had been by Sofia’s side since she was a baby.

To her, Sofia was a precious younger sister she wouldn’t hurt even if she put her in her eyes, before being a princess she had to serve.

It was truly a heartfelt plea.

Sofia really seemed to have many good people around her.

“For now, I’m going to leave Kon Satellite.”

Olivia squeezed her eyes shut.

Her heart sank inside, but she tried not to show it.

This was the normal judgment, the wise judgment.

Just as Olivia raised her head to answer that it was okay, Jinhyeok continued speaking.

“If we wait here, it’ll take too long. I’m going to turn the situation around all at once. This is the waiting room, right?”

Jinhyeok smiled and strode forward.

And he threw open the door to the waiting room where people had gathered.

People’s gazes focused on Jinhyeok.

No matter how much they discussed, there was no solution, and despair was gradually settling in.

“This is sudden, but would you like to hear what I have to say?”

Jinhyeok began speaking with a bright face.

About the game-changing move he had thought of on the way here.

A couple of hours later.

Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud.

The loud propeller noise penetrated through the headset.

Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled intensely.

He couldn’t help it.

It was the first helicopter ride of his life.

‘I thought only rich people rode these. Oh right, Lady Sofia is rich.’

Jinhyeok sat back in his chair, leisurely enjoying London’s night view.

Meanwhile, across from him, Olivia and Charles sat side by side with hardened faces.

Their entire bodies were soaked with cold sweat, of course.

-Bang!

Jinhyeok, who had thrown open the waiting room door, had explained his plan to the gathered people.

-How about it?

No one answered this question, which was a natural reaction.

Jinhyeok had presented a method that could instantly reverse their current disadvantage.

Specifically, to bring Queen Elisia, who was lying in Winsor Castle, to Kon Satellite.

The logic was that the Queen would wake from her coma, reveal Widric’s true nature in front of everyone, and then pass the throne to Sofia, and that would be the end of it.

They couldn’t shake their heads.

It made too much sense.

But they couldn’t nod either.

It made sense, but it was something that could never be accomplished, something realistically impossible.

-I can do it.

Jinhyeok had spoken with a confident voice.

And what he requested was the current situation.

Just to take him near Winsor Castle.

They had warned him that landing or going below a certain altitude was impossible, but it was useless.

Jinhyeok answered with a bright face that it was fine and forced the plan forward.

Olivia and Charles looked at each other’s faces.

Though they didn’t speak, they could instantly tell their thoughts were aligned.

No matter how they looked at it, this wasn’t right.

No matter how many times they thought about it, this was too crazy.

Though they had come near Winsor Castle amid their conflict, they had to try to stop him once more, even now.

“Jinhyeok!”

Both of them opened their mouths simultaneously.

This time, they were determined to somehow persuade him and turn the helicopter around.

“…?!”

But Jinhyeok wasn’t there.

Charles and Olivia turned their heads with creaking movements.

Jinhyeok stood at the edge of the helicopter door in a precarious position.

“Uh… Uh!!”

They reached out belatedly, but it was futile.

Before they could grab him, Jinhyeok leaped down from the helicopter with a whoosh.
