Chapter 47

The Duke turned to look at me at the words ‘my master’.

I was breaking out in a cold sweat, concentrating on drawing up my magical power.

“How is Lady Sauver able to….”

“Let’s talk about that later, for now let’s focus.”

At Louis’s words, the Duke nodded and readjusted his grip on his sword.

Then Kaisis shouted loudly.

“Don’t let those bastards get to my master!”

“Grrrowl-!”

“Uaaaah!”

Louis let out a battle cry and leaped in, running around to lure the wolf monsters.

Kaisis blocked the claws with his sword without cutting the wolves.

The Duke sheathed his sword, drew his bow, and shot arrows.

The other nobles were also distracting the monsters within their capabilities.

Just a little more, just a little more.

When my magical power had risen somewhat, I reached out toward one of the wolves.

As soon as I created light and shot it out, the wolf immediately scattered into light like water droplets.

Seeing it disappear like that, it seemed to be a multiplied monster rather than the main body.

“You really eliminated it….”

The Duke looked back at me with a surprised expression.

Sighs of relief burst out from among the nobles as well.

“Don’t let your guard down! It only ends when we eliminate the main body. We need to find the main body among the two remaining.”

At Kaisis’s words, everyone tensed up again and began confronting the wolves, and I drew up my magical power once more.

Throbbing pain rose from my back.

I just need to endure a little longer.

I gritted my teeth and looked at the two remaining wolves.

“Grrrowl!”

Having lost one of their kind, the wolves became even more violent and rampaged.

The two wolves raised their sharp fur and charged at all the humans in sight.

Their movements were so fast that aiming wasn’t easy.

Still, I concentrated and observed the wolves to watch for the right timing.

What’s this?

I noticed the wolves strangely avoiding just one person.

Even when charging mindlessly, they would change direction when they got in front of that person.

Who is that person?

With their back turned and even wearing a cloak, it wasn’t easy to identify them.

I carefully urged my horse closer to that person.

On the sleeve of the person holding the reins, visible between the cloak, was an unusual pattern.

It was a pattern that looked like it could be floral or geometric.

Where have I seen that pattern? Is it one of the noble family crests?

“Grrrowl-!”

But I had no choice but to focus on drawing up my magical power again at the wolf’s howl coming from nearby.

As time passed, the wolves’ violence intensified, and the nobles gradually lost their strength.

This is bad.

To make matters worse, my magical power couldn’t be drawn up enough to deal with two monsters.

At this point, I had to find the main body.

If I only attacked the main body, the fake wolf would disappear along with it.

But how to find it.

No matter how I looked, the two wolves looked exactly the same.

As I pondered, I suddenly closed my eyes, dazzled by the setting sun shining down.

When the competition started, the sun was at its peak, but now it was already setting.

I really had to finish this before it got any later.

Wait, the setting sun?

I looked in the direction where the setting sun was shining, then looked at the wolves.

The wolves were sticking close together, as if planning to join forces against the humans.

Now’s the time.

I took out the ring-shaped magical tool that was on my right ring finger.

Then I urged my horse forward and threw it toward the two wolves.

Poof-!

The ring-shaped magical tool exploded, creating white smoke.

When the diagonally shining setting sun met with the smoke.

“One of them has no shadow!”

There were clearly two wolves, but only the one on the left cast a shadow.

That one seemed to be the main body.

I quickly created golden light and shot it at the wolf on the left.

Please, my guess has to be right.

The moment my magical power reached the wolf.

“Grrowl-!”

The smoke cleared and the wolf returned to its original form.

Seeing the multiplied wolf disappear, the left wolf must have been the main body.

The wolf looked at the humans holding swords, howled “Grrowl” once, then ran into the forest.

I, I did it….

“It’s finally over.”

“We’re alive. We’re alive now!”

“Lady Sauver saved us!”

The nobles, finally able to relax, let out sighs of relief.

Watching them, I smiled slightly as my consciousness gradually faded.

Just as I was swaying and about to fall from my horse.

“Master!”

Kaisis came running and threw himself toward me.

Kaisis held me tightly and rolled on the ground.

“Rene!”

“Lady Sauver!”

Louis and the Duke also ran toward me.

Everyone asked if I was okay, but I didn’t have the strength left to answer.

Instead, I gave a faint smile, but couldn’t stop my eyelids from falling.

Kurrrung-.

[65% until world destruction]

With the world destruction gauge as the last thing I saw, my eyelids slowly closed and deep darkness rushed in.

It was a blackout.

* * *

First Princess Elizabeth couldn’t collect herself in the sudden chaos.

Monsters had suddenly appeared.

Monsters? The Empire was a safe country where monsters hadn’t appeared for over 300 years.

But the reason Elizabeth couldn’t collect herself wasn’t just because monsters had appeared.

It was also because the person who purified the monsters was Rene Sauver.

Rene Sauver had suffered a large wound on her back from the monsters, but even in that situation, she used magic to save people.

The nobles admired her actions.

The Duke’s expression when looking at Rene was also strange.

It was an expression Elizabeth had never seen before, even though she had known the Duke for a long time.

His gaze fixed on Rene, his helpless expression every time Rene let out a groan, his feet pushing through people as he rushed forward urgently.

Moreover, Rene Sauver was also the Duke’s ideal type.

The Duke’s ideal type was someone kind and noble who knew how to care for others.

Today, Rene had shown an altruistic side, enduring her own pain to save people.

Come to think of it, they had even gone on a matchmaking meeting at the Duke’s initiative.

Elizabeth watched as Rene was carried in a guard knight’s arms toward the nearby Imperial Palace.

Crack—.

Elizabeth ground her teeth.

Then she secretly called a maid and gave her an order.

“Get rid of the tiger.”

She had tried to harm Rene Sauver.

She had deliberately starved the tiger and had a maid periodically let it smell Rene’s dress that they had stolen.

To make it recognize Rene Sauver as prey.

Of course, she hadn’t intended to kill her.

She thought that since Rene would be staying close to Beatrice, who was a Sword Master, Beatrice would save her.

But the situation didn’t flow according to Elizabeth’s plan.

Although Rene Sauver wasn’t injured by the tiger she had sent, it would be terrible if any traces of the tiger came up during an investigation.

Elizabeth anxiously bit her nails.

Only divine magic could purify demonic beasts, and there were very few who could use divine magic.

Naturally, divine mages were extremely precious beings.

Since they were such rare existences, Rene couldn’t possibly be a divine mage, but she clearly possessed some special power.

Whatever it was, now that demonic beasts had begun appearing in the Empire, everyone would obviously focus their attention on Rene.

So if she wanted to eliminate Rene, now was the right time. Right now, when no one yet knew what kind of power Rene possessed.

‘How can I get rid of Rene Sauver?’

At first, she hadn’t thought of killing her and only intended to scare her a little, but now her thoughts had changed.

Rene Sauver was a more threatening figure than she had thought.

Elizabeth bit her nails.

Blood beaded at her fingertips, but she didn’t care about such things.

* * *

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace’s guest room.

Kaisis looked down at the sleeping Rene.

According to the doctor, fortunately there was no threat to her life.

But….

Rene collapsing as if fainting while bleeding. Over that sight, visions of the past overlapped.

“Rone…!”

The thick smell of blood and the woman who didn’t even move, and the humans clapping and cheering.

Kaisis squeezed his eyes shut and opened them.

Fortunately, the vision of the past scattered before long.

But the afterimage kept lingering, disturbing Kaisis’s mind.

“Open your eyes, master.”

Kaisis called to Rene, but Rene didn’t open her eyes.

As if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

He had promised to protect her so she wouldn’t need to use the ring-shaped magical device.

Yet again.

Yet again, this sight.

Kaisis raised his hand and stroked Rene’s pale cheek.
