Chapter 9 Reconciliation
"Hey, who's that girl?"
"It's amazing! I can fight against the demon army alone!"
"It is said that she is the Black Sword Hime-sama who defeated the demons in Wells before!"
"It turned out to be the famous Black Sword Lady!"
"Long live the Black Sword Hime!!"
"Long live !!"
Haruka's battle posture in the canopy amazed everyone, and the crowd erupted in amazing cheers, everyone chanted the Black Sword Hime, and the atmosphere of the scene was instantly ignited.
"This... What the hell is ... Haruka looked at the sky with a stunned expression, he didn't expect the empire to broadcast the picture of his battle with such fanfare.
"You're really famous now. Seid, who was on the side, turned his gaze to Haruka.
"Such a swagger ... Am I not ... Before Haruka could finish his words, the people around him had already recognized him.
"Look, isn't she the Black Sword Lady!"
"No wonder she has such a temperament! It turned out to be Lord Black Sword Hime!"
"I'm more beautiful than in the picture!"
"It's true!!"
"Kuroken-sama !! Hime"
"Kuroken-sama is here!!"
The people around them stirred up and began to gather in Haruka.
"Hey, isn't it time for us to leave?!" Haruka grabbed Seid on the side.
"I think so too. The two began to retreat, but the agitated crowd had surrounded them around the corner.
"You're going to protect us, aren't you?"
"The Demon King or something must not be your opponent, right?"
"Please lead us to launch a counterattack against the demons!"
"You can do it!"
"Save us!"
The people shouted at Haruka, but Seid could only keep him at bay.
"Calm down, everyone, you're going to scare the Black Sword Hime-sama like this. Said shouted loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the cacophony of people.
At this moment, there was the sound of neat footsteps in the distance, and the flow of people was neatly divided by a group of soldiers, and a carriage quickly drove along the divided road to Haruka's location.
"It's okay, Kenhime-sama. General Elche stepped out of the carriage, and the soldiers around him formed an encirclement, isolating the common citizens from Haruka.
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't expect people to be so welcoming. ”
"Please get in the car, I'll get you out of here. ”
"I'm sorry for you. Haruka nodded, lifted her skirt and strode into the carriage. As soon as I entered the carriage, I saw Natalie sitting in the carriage as well.
Seid, who was behind, wanted to get into the car together, but was stopped by Elche.
Said looked at him puzzled.
"Haruka has other things to do, you can go with me. Elche pointed behind him, where another carriage was slowly approaching. Haruka's carriage was the first to leave the market under the protection of the guards.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little awkward, Haruka didn't dare to look directly at Natalie, her eyes were still a little red, she should have cried before.
"That... Sorry before. Haruka was the first to speak.
"You don't have to apologize, it's not right for me to hide from you about the border line. Natalie said in a calm tone.
"I talked to Seid earlier, and I thought about it calmly, you are right, I am indeed too self-righteous, thinking that I can protect anyone, and I am too confident in my own strength. ”
"You're just a good-natured idiot. Natalie shook her head.
"What am I going to do now? I'm a little confused. Haruka looked at the sky through the car window, and the picture of her own battle was still playing repeatedly.
"The Emperor wants to make you the banner of the Empire, and you need the power of the Empire, and everything is as expected. Natalie took Haruka's hand, "As I said before, you will become a hero and then use the power of the empire to fight against the demons. ”
"Do you use each other?"
"You also want to give the invincible Demon King of the West a little color, right?"
"That's right, there are too many debts to settle with him!"
"The Empire's counteroffensive is about to begin, and it's time for you to show what you're up to. ”
"I see. Haruka nodded, and the carriage had already left the town, but instead of heading towards Haruka's previous manor, it headed towards another satellite city.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go pick up your previous companion. ”
"Former companion?!" Haruka looked at Natalie in confusion......
The carriage traveled for an unknown amount of time, but at last it came to a halt in front of a huge castle, and the guards of the city motioned for them to show their identities, and after revealing their identities, they respectfully let them go.
"What is this place?" said the carriage slowly drove into the central square of the castle and stopped in front of the central building.
"This is the prison where prisoners are held in the Empire. ”
"You're talking about your companion in prison?"
"Yes, the message that General Elche gave me. ”
"Well, who the hell is that?"
Natalie didn't answer Haruka, but walked straight out of the carriage.
The warden in charge of the prison respectfully walked to the carriage to greet Haruka's arrival.
"Lord Black Sword Hime, may I ask what you are doing here?"
"Haruka-sama wants you to release the Artinian knights who were sent here this morning. Natalie said solemnly.
"This... Fear... The warden grimaced.
"Lord Black Sword Ji is a great hero who saved the empire, and he was granted the status of a duke by the emperor, so he can't even get a prisoner?"
"The subordinates don't dare, so I'll bring people to you... The warden said respectfully, motioning for his men to bring people in.
After a while, the two prison guards pressed Hetila into the atrium.
"Hetila?!You're still alive!!" Seeing Hetila, Haruka was a little excited, he thought that Hetila should have also died in the fall of the front line, but he didn't expect to see her.
"That's right, barely escaped from the front. She replied with a wry smile......
