Chapter Seventy-Three: To the Iron Wing Castle
The girl delivering the message went on a stealth run after she finished speaking, not undetectable, but it was too dangerous to chase a vagaries of poison. She told the surviving guards to go to the palace to report the situation, but she ran to the inn she had said.
【Blue Cheese Inn...... Cut, has it been investigated!?]
Leona ran wildly, and then secretly stammered in her heart. The Blue Cheese Inn is a frequent place for her because the food tastes good and is cheap. However, such a small suburban shop appeared in the mouth of the other party, considering that even such a place was clear, and it appeared exactly when she was guarding the door, it was obvious that her own behavior habits had been investigated.
[Is it a trap?]
She stopped, the door of the inn was close in front of her, she put her hand on the hilt of her sword, and rushed in!
"Lei...... Mistress Leona?"
There was a peaceful atmosphere in the shop, and there were no expected ambushes and attacks, and the owner looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if wondering why she was so vigilant.
"I'm sorry, but have any strange people been here today, like a girl with white hair?"
Leona asked.
"Listen to what you say, there really is a ......"
"Where does she live!?"
"In ...... The easternmost room on the second floor. ”
"Thank you!"
She tossed a few silver coins as a token of thanks, and then rushed up to the second floor in a whirlwind.
Touch!
The door was violently slammed open, and the girl rushed into the room, drawing her weapon and guarding her surroundings. And then......
"Carlisle !!"
She saw the boy tied to the bed with a ball of cloth in his mouth......
[The nightmare began about a few weeks ago.] My brother's behavior began to become weird. Violent coughing, retching. Low-grade fever. We thought he was sick, honestly. After suffering such a blow, it is not surprising that even if you can't afford to get sick from now on.
But we were wrong, and instead of being emaciated, my brother became stronger, and once I saw him break a steel spear with the strength of his muscles and without the slightest fighting spirit. He began to select outstanding youth, intending to reorganize the Iron Wing Knights.
This would have been a good thing, and the spirit of Iron Wing should not have perished. However, when I witnessed the whole process of screening, I realized how wrong I was - it was a torture. Naked torture and killing.
The test is a real battle, and the winner will be eligible to join the Order, and the opponent will be the elder brother himself. All the selected soldiers were forced to fight with him, and the result was ...... Of course, all of them were killed.
The elder brother's body is getting stronger and stronger, but on the contrary, his heart begins to sink and falls into an abyss that the light cannot reach. Nightmares became a regular visitor, and every night and every night there were painful ** and screams in his room:
"Family!
"Iron Wing Fort!! ah!! Iron Wing Castle !!"
At first, I thought it was just an obsession with the glory of the past. However, it soon ......
"Order must be eradicated - !!"
"Embrace Chaos—!!"
The roar of the night became even more eerie. From then on, I began to perceive that something was swelling in my brother's heart and wanted to replace him.
Things started to get out of hand. One night, my brother left where we were currently living. Begin your way towards Ironwing.
Of course, the guards arranged around wanted to stop my brother's footsteps, since the rain. We were placed under house arrest by Germain, and nominally we were still dukes. And yet they don't even have the right to go out freely, how ironic it is.
My brother once resisted. In the end, however, he gave in. This time, however, the guards' dissuasion was met with an almost brutal counterattack. God, that's a thousand-strong team, and I don't know why, but Germain has been improving the garrison around here, even to the point of sickness. However, this was meaningless, and the elder brother single-handedly killed all the guards.
What did I see? What did I see? In the firelight, my brother's figure seemed to grow so great that he pierced through all his enemies, dusted the obstacles in the path, and disappeared into the distance.
Leah, I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming, it can't be my brother!
Please, save him-!!]
These were the last words Carlisle said to little Lori before she passed out. When she and the princess received a report from the guards and arrived at the Blue Cheese Inn, all they saw was Carlisle sitting on the edge of the bed with a blank gaze, and Leona was long gone.
"Damn! Damn! I'm sure it smells of Germain!"
At this moment, a group of men and horses were galloping along the road between King Randall and Ironwing.
"I agree with you, Isa. Just as King Cliff and the King later used us to blackmail us, he took advantage of Leona, and our knight girl could not have abandoned Arman after hearing these words from Carlyle, and we ......"
Leah sat in the princess's arms, and the two were riding the same steed together.
"And we can't abandon Leona. ”
Isabella gritted her teeth and spurred to Ironwing.
Karen and Alec are fighting against the rebels.
The Warriff siblings gather news of the enemy.
Isabella made the wrong decision to send them to the side of the Holy Church after Germain had strengthened the defense of the Duke of Arman's residence, only to miss the shocking turn in Carlisle's mouth.
Of course, it wasn't without any benefit, first of all, the thief siblings were far away from the possibility of running into the demonized Arman, and because they acted as the eyes and ears of the Holy Cult, Rowan returned.
The rebels had pinned down most of their army in the south, and now that time was pressing, they had found a handful of fighters who might be in the fight:
Rebecca siblings.
Rowan siblings.
There are also the head maids, Rebecca and Melti.
The princess did not gather an army, and according to Carlisle, thousands of soldiers were nothing more than a dish in the eyes of that demon, unless the Golden Lily Knights could be transferred back, and ordinary soldiers would simply send them up.
Unfortunately, time did not allow her to do so, and by the time Karen returned, Leona's head would have been hung on the flagpole of Ironwing......
After almost non-stop rushing, finally, with a stormy morning, the black outline of Iron Wing Castle like a demon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Here we are. ”
Leah tightened her cloak. At this time, the cold winter has arrived, and the icy rain mixed with broken ice pours on people's bodies, taking away their body temperature.
"Let's go, let's go in. ”
Isabella led the group cautiously into the gates of Ironwing. And then......
"You dare to appear in front of me!! betrayer-!!"
A roar like a wounded beast resounded throughout the castle. (To be continued......)
