Chapter 101

Kaisis nodded at my words.

“Rene, it’s too dangerous for you to go with just your escort knight. I’ll assign some knights to you, so take them along.”

Count Sauver looked at me with a serious expression as he spoke.

“Understood.”

If the aura of black magic could be felt, other demon beasts might appear as well.

I needed to focus on catching Iban, so it would be good if I could leave the other demon beasts to the knights.

I teleported to the Imperial Palace with the knights Count Sauver assigned me, along with Kaisis and Derek.

Before departing, I didn’t forget to bring the pass that would allow me to use magic within the Imperial Palace.

What I saw upon arriving at the palace garden was, surprisingly, numerous people wearing robes. Their robes bore the same pattern as the cross-section of the Pimpis flower I had seen before.

“These people are…”

Derek frowned.

It was probably because of the aura of black magic emanating from them. When Kaisis drew his sword, the knights also drew their swords.

“They must be followers of black magic.”

“I think so too.”

The followers each carried a weapon.

The fact that the followers had gathered in a place like the Imperial Palace, which had thorough security and was completely exposed, rather than in hidden caves or ruins…

It meant that Iban might also be here in this Imperial Palace.

Since they were those who served Iban. If Iban was in the Imperial Palace, it made sense why they had gathered here.

I looked at the followers with a hardened expression.

They seemed to be forming a formation to prevent us from entering the inner palace.

“We need to deal with them first.”

To make matters worse, there were even beast-type demon beasts beside the followers.

The followers took a defensive stance as soon as they saw me. It was natural since it had been revealed to the world that I was a holy mage.

By the way, where are the palace knights?

Why weren’t the knights stopping such wicked people from entering the Imperial Palace?

“Derek, why aren’t there any knights here?”

“His Highness the Crown Prince dismissed them all.”

“His Highness did?”

“I don’t know the reason, but that’s what he did.”

The fact that the Crown Prince had dismissed the knights might mean that they had turned to the side of the black mage.

That’s when it happened.

“It’s the holy mage!”

“Kill her and be of help to that person!”

“Uwaaah-!”

The followers began charging toward us with their weapons.

I couldn’t waste time dealing with them. I had to find Iban.

Iban had said he came to the capital. And there was a high probability he was currently in the Imperial Palace.

I didn’t know what Iban was trying to do in the Imperial Palace, but whatever it was, it wouldn’t be anything good. I had to stop him at all costs.

“Demon beasts multiply when cut! Don’t slash them, just fight them!”

“Yes, understood!”

At my instruction, the knights raised their swords and charged toward the followers.

Before long, the sharp sounds of clashing weapons echoed. Kaisis and the knights engaged with the followers.

“Grrrr-!”

I looked at the wolf-shaped demon beasts and immediately summoned a magic circle.

The demon beasts charged toward me.

I immediately shot out light. One wolf hit by the light returned to its original form. Then the other wolves hesitated.

The garden instantly became a battlefield.

Knights and followers clashed, each swinging their weapons. I was confronting the wolf demon beasts in the midst of that chaos.

“Derek! Please bind those you can with binding magic!”

“Understood!”

At my instruction, Derek immediately cast binding magic. Many followers were bound, but there were still many remaining.

I was too busy dealing with the wolf-shaped demon beasts.

The wolves formed a circle and pressed in on me. I immediately gathered my magical power and spread it widely.

The wolves hit by the light gradually returned to their original forms.

But wolves were predators by nature.

The wolves even appeared gaunt with their ribs showing, as if they had been starved before being turned into demon beasts.

The wolves that had returned to their original forms charged at humans indiscriminately, targeting both me and the followers.

With wolves joining the already chaotic battle situation, things became increasingly messy.

This is driving me crazy.

While casting binding magic, I felt someone approaching from behind.

“Die-!”

When I turned around, I saw a follower raising an axe toward me.

When I turned my head back to look forward, a wolf was charging at me with bared teeth from the opposite side.

It was impossible to block both. Which one should I block?

As I was quickly thinking, that’s when it happened.

A sword flying from behind pierced through the follower’s chest.

Hot blood splattered. The sword belonged to Kaisis.

“Master! Watch your back!”

At that moment, a wolf charged from behind, aiming for my nape.

I immediately cast defensive magic. The wolf that hit the golden barrier made a ‘thud’ sound and bounced away.

I immediately cast binding magic and tied up all the wolves.

Kaisis approached me to retrieve his sword.

Then, a follower targeted Kaisis from behind, aiming for him while he was without his sword.

“Die-!”

Kaisis, sensing the presence and quickly dodging the sword, kicked the follower and then pulled out the sword embedded in the corpse.

I looked around the chaotic garden.

In this state, it would be difficult to find Iban. I had to defeat the followers somehow…

But there were too many followers.

If only the Magic Tower and the Holy Kingdom had sent reinforcements, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this!

No reply had come yet.

“Kyaaah-!”

As I was biting my lip, a piercing scream came from inside.

This voice is…?

I immediately turned my head to look toward where the scream came from. It was from the direction of the Crown Prince’s Palace.

I wanted to run toward where the scream came from right away, but the followers blocked my path.

I had to deal with the followers first.

As I hesitated, Kaisis swung his sword at the followers blocking my path and shouted.

“We’ll handle this, Master go find the black mage!”

Looking at Kaisis, the knights who had been confronting the followers also shouted.

“Yes, please leave this to us!”

“Go, Miss!”

Would it be okay to leave them behind and go?

Since the followers couldn’t use black magic, Kaisis and the knights alone should be sufficient.

“Kyaaah-!”

I hesitated, but when the piercing scream came again, I had no choice but to take a step.

“Everyone be careful! Derek! Please cover the knights and Kai!”

“Understood!”

I immediately turned around and teleported toward where the scream came from.

Since I couldn’t tell exactly where the scream was coming from, I first targeted a random location in the Crown Prince’s Palace.

However.

“What…?”

The Crown Prince’s Palace was completely empty.

As if someone had deliberately dismissed all the people.

Thanks to this, I was able to cross through the Crown Prince’s Palace without any interference.

“Kyaaah-!”

Soon another scream was heard, and I ran following that sound.

Before long, the sound grew closer. The screaming was coming from the direction of the Audience Chamber.

Bang-!

I immediately kicked open the door to the Audience Chamber and entered.

Then I saw the First Princess being grabbed by the hair by Iban. The Crown Prince was also standing beside them. Along with the Black Magic Followers.

“What are you doing-!”

When I shouted, the First Princess looked back at me with a face stained with tears.

“So, Sauver! Please help me! These bastards are trying to kill me…!”

At that moment, Iban handed the First Princess over to the followers standing beside him.

Iban was holding a dagger in his hand.

“It’s been a while, Lea Sauver.”

Iban spoke to me with a brightly smiling face.

I gritted my teeth and glared at Iban.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke, what is the meaning of this.”

“What do you mean? I’m trying to offer a living sacrifice.”

At the words ‘living sacrifice,’ my expression hardened.

He was saying he would offer the First Princess as a living sacrifice? Was he in his right mind?

When I looked at the Crown Prince, he merely had a regretful expression.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince. What is the meaning of this heinous act.”

“Well, Rene, it would have been better if you had accepted my marriage proposal.”

So he was saying that because I didn’t accept his marriage proposal, he joined hands with the Black Mage?

But if he joined hands with a Black Mage, the Empire would also be ruined, so why?

“That person is a Black Mage.”

“I know that too.”

“But why…”

“It’s to make our Empire more prosperous. The being we’re about to awaken will bring wealth and glory to our Empire.”

The being they’re about to awaken? What is that?
