Chapter 61 – Lord Selim gets fought over
Just as Katia said, Leo arrived after a while.
“Selim! Are you okay!?”
Leo seems to have run using Body Strengthening. Behind him, gasping for breath, Gilbert is also heading our way.
“The enemy has been neutralized. However, it isn’t over yet. Marc and those two have completed a Demonic Transformation. If it wasn’t for me, it would be impossible to keep them restrained. They are dangerous, so I hope you can help me obliterate them.”
‘Will you help me?’ I asked and Leo made a thinking gesture.
“If you kill a demon, he will disappear without leaving any corpses. If Marc disappeared, you won’t be able to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes.”
Without evidence, House Sarmiento will not admit Marc’s demonization. It would become troublesome later.
“However, a high-ranking noble class who became demons is very dangerous. It might seem that I am easily suppressing them, but if released, they would be able to destroy the royal capital.”
In fact, I myself had done so in my previous life.
“Um, can we wait a little longer before deciding? There are many presences that are headed this way. It seems that reinforcements are coming.”
Katia, who was listening to the conversation, said. According to her Detection Spell, two groups with strong mana are rapidly approaching us.
“Let’s wait for them. Katia’s wounds are worrying as well. It would be great if I had the medical tools I left behind in the village.”
“No. I am fine because I have healed myself with Body Strengthening magic, so the deeper wounds are already closed. Even though I look like this, I’ve lived as a swordsman. There’s no problem.”
After saying that, Katia stood behind me, as if to declare that she would continue escorting me.
“The people approaching us shouldn’t be an enemy.”
Gilbert raises his guard.
“I believe it is fine. It is hard to tell due to the long distance, but I sensed Her Highness Rafaela’s mana. I think they came to rescue Lord Selim.”
Will the princess come?
There was talk of our engagement.
Well, how do I deal with that?
After waiting for a while, the princess and Nadia arrived almost at the same time.
My heart throbs at the thought of meeting two potential fiancées at the same time. However, when both of them confirmed my safety, they immediately turned to face the enemy.
“Marc…”
The princess looks at Marc. Marc approached her to become the princess’s fiancé, and was on the same team at the academy. She must have things to think about.
“…Puppet Princess. No matter how much I tried to flatter you, it was of no use. No matter how strong you are, you’re still a puppet. No, your strength is weak. Frankly, the guys over here must be stronger. Really, I had a terrible time targeting a worthless woman.”
Marc, who was restrained, spewed abusive words as he pleased.
The princess pulls out her sword.
“Please.”
With one word, I pushed the back of the princess.
The princess chopped up Marc and made him disappear.
“There are two more. We should clean up the demons as soon as possible.”
Continuing on, Leo defeated the two I pointed to him.
“For the rest, there is no problem with ordinary restraints. You can arrest them and interrogate them, I’ll leave it to you.”
The knights brought by the princess captured the rest of the enemies, so I released the <Holy Chain Barrier>.
“…phew.”
“You must have had a hard time, Selim. I arranged a carriage, so you can rest and sleep.”
Nadia comforted me. I appreciate that, but,
“If it’s a carriage, the royal family will prepare it. Don’t worry. I will send you back safely.”
Can you stop arguing with the princess?
I’m already tired, but this will make me even more exhausted.
“If you’re sleepy, you can sleep now. I’ll take you home.”
Even Leo, who came nearby, announced his candidacy to send me back.
That’s right. Let Leo handle my transportation. I’m really tired, so I wonder if I can pretend to be asleep to evade them.
When I closed my eyes while sitting on the carriage that was used to catch a while ago, I really fell asleep easily.
