The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 454
My Villains Episode 454
66. The Silver Prince (9)
Theodora Guellamcht von Strom.
She is the niece of the Duke of Avillambus and the only granddaughter of Lionel III. She is one of the 10 most middle-class women in the middle world, based on the nobility of her lineage.
His father and brothers lost their lives in a political strife, and he was imprisoned in a convent located in the capital city of Milano. Since his early teens, he has not enjoyed the wealth and glory befitting his extremely high status.
However, it was difficult to hide things like a high-ranking aristocratic demeanor and natural dignity. In addition, while living as a nun, she learned humility and even possessed mercy befitting her title as an anointed paladin. Although he hid a little bit of a nerd temperament and a thrill-loving eccentric personality, he was never at the level of a home and
seemed to be unknown to the public.
In a word, it was not usually difficult to hate Theodora, who was high, holy, good, beautiful, and even had her heart.
And fortunately, Ellen was no exception here.
“Oh there you are. Have you been waiting long?”
“you! Such a bully-”
The halo that Princess Theodora emits without divine power shone so brightly that even Ellen, who was sitting on a wooden chair in the courtyard of the guard headquarters, her eyes burning with the energy to burn all the green around her. I held my breath for a while.
“…this person is?”
“It’s a first meeting, right? This is Princess Theodora. Princess, this is Ellen. Did I talk often?”
Even if they were seeing each other for the first time, even the name was not unfamiliar, and the role of Ellen as well as Theodora, who asked for a meeting, seemed to know about the other person.
“I see you at last.”
Of course, it was Princess Theodora who greeted her first. She got off Brightmere, put the reins on the iron hooks on the poles, and stood in front of Ellen. Then, with a look of surprise, he raised his pale eyebrows and smiled.
“I thought Lord Phoenix was exaggerating, but it is truly amazing that he looks like an angel, just like I heard.”
Are you happy to be praised for your beauty? Ellen, who had extinguished the fire in her eyes before she knew it, twitched her mouth for a moment.
“May the blessing of light come upon you. I am Theodora, a paladin of the Order of Calandari.”
“…It is an honor to meet you, Princess Gongnyeo, who is the stronghold of light. I have heard of your bright reputation.”
I don’t know if she remembered that she had decided not to reveal her identity for the time being, or if it was unconsciously, but Ellen politely said hello even though she had an awkward expression on her face.
“My name is Ellen, the wizard of La Palais Palace.”
“So what do you want me to call you? Miss Ellen? Master Ellen?”
“Mmm.”
On the battlefield, Ellen yelled ‘You dare me’ and ‘The Highmaster’s authority’, but it was a chaos of battle and not many people knew exactly what Highmaster meant. Thanks to this, very few outsiders knew that he was the customary and nominal owner of the Palace of La Palais.
“…as long as it’s Master Ellen.”
“Yes, it is.”
Princess Theodora nodded her head kindly, as if she did not belong to that minority. Then, this time, Ellen came out and examined the princess several times and asked a question.
“Why did Princess go all the way to this place? I’ve been waiting for this bastard
– no, Lord Phoenix.”
“I asked him to meet you. To be precise with Master Ellen, I have something I want to ask the two grandmasters.”
“If you wish to ask.”
“…Doesn’t sound like the right place for an intimate conversation. If you don’t mind, can we move and meet the two grandmasters together?”
At the princess’s polite request, Ellen nodded coldly.
Looking at the boy, I let out a sigh of relief.
nice As expected, Theodora’s brother, Ra, is also eaten by Ellen.
Me, Ellen, Theodora, and the two grandmasters sat around a table on one side of my bedroom.
It is much safer from hearing ears in the bedroom than in the office where bureaucrats, thugs, officers, and sergeants frequent. It was on the highest floor of the headquarters building of the guards, and it was also among the empty rooms, so it was the most suitable place for my shadow to sit in the darkness and look around.
Well, when I naturally invited Princess Theodora into the bedroom, Ellen’s eyes blazed again… but…
“Haha— You don’t have to open your eyes, Master Ellen. I am a pledge of chastity, and Sir Phoy Nix is only a colleague of the same will.”
“Ah yes? No, no, I didn’t think that way- of course
.
“What kind of guy is this? Even putting aside his legendary prowess and inexhaustible valor, Sir Phoenix is definitely an attractive man. Because he is bold and cheerful, and at the same time knows how to care for the people below him and sympathize with the weak.”
When Theodora always gave compliments without hesitation, Ellen asked, ‘Who is it? What about this bastard?” he looked at me. I shrugged.
“What are you doing? Write it down.”
While the boy was swearing at him with his eyes, Princess Theodora continued to speak with a smile on her face.
“Because he is that attractive, he must have had three more lovers besides his fiancée. I wouldn’t recommend it to a culprit, but since Sir Phoenix has enough abilities, I believe he can take responsibility for a little um… ‘indulgence’.”
As a princess, it must have been a blessing as a priest without any particular intention, but Ellen did not seem to accept it at all. Seeing him glaring at me with his lips twitching and the nape of his neck reddening, he must have been pretty pissed off…
I felt a sense of danger and cleared my throat quickly.
“Hmm, since the grandmasters were also invited, let’s get to the point.”
I said that and looked back at the two men and women I met for the first time on the battlefield.
The old horse warrior ‘Aktufir Ol’, who wore golden armor and struck with thunderbolts wrapped around an axe, was wearing a short robe reminiscent of a monk’s.
Contrary to his modest attire, the tall old man had ten fingers full of golden rings and two golden bracelets on each wrist.
The woman sitting next to him with her chin resting on her chin was Nashal Anwei, a sorceress who used a three-headed snake staff to transform into elemental phantom beasts.
Wearing a black hood and a veil covering her upper body, all that was revealed were straight eyebrows, a clear nose, and light brown eyes close to gold.
When these two grandmasters first appeared on the battlefield, they mistook them for enemies because they were blocking Ellen.
It was later in the middle of the battlefield that they found out that they had come to the world to carry out the mission of monitoring, escorting or nannying Ellen.
During the battle, I threw a few javelins, but not a word was said about them. Well, to be precise, it doesn’t even say anything at all.
When Princess Theodora gave her greetings, Nashal drew an arc with her eyes and nodded her head, and Aktufir returned with appropriate formality, before getting straight to the point.
“What do you want to ask?”
“I want to know the purpose of the two of you leaving Tirin Mel and coming to this land of Gellan.”
It was a word thrown straight out without asking around. It wasn’t a very aristocratic way of speaking, but the old wizard nodded slightly as if it was rather comfortable.
Of course, that didn’t mean that he gave an answer innocently.
“You may have expected the answer, but the reason we came here is for the palace. There is no reason to reveal the details of the situation to outsiders, so I hope for your understanding.”
“I am not asking out of simple curiosity. If you’re here for something the Church is interested in, I’m asking if you two and the Cult of Calandari can join forces with the Palace of La Palais.” Aktufir was silent for a moment.
Ellen slightly narrowed her eyebrows and seemed to guess Theodora’s intentions while Nashal, who was sitting opposite her, secretly yawned under a veil.
“…hmm?”
Then the woman who met my eyes suddenly smiled and glanced sideways at the other Grand Master and the only High Master in turn. Then he lifted his crossed legs slightly and groped my shins with his toes.
If my memory is not wrong, Nashal Anwei must have been quite a bit older than me.
Wanting to do something out of the blue, I watched quietly, and she blinked one eye. Then, at some point, he slowly pushed his bare white feet into the inner thighs.
…He’s a really tough guy.
Aktufir broke the silence while I silently held the accusation at Nashal’s snake-like footwork.
“Tell me first what you are interested in.”
“I want to reveal the circumstances, but if this is known to the outside world”
“The wizard of the palace has a heavy mouth.”
Theodora, as if having already anticipated the flow of this conversation, came up with an answer without much hesitation.
“I found demonic energy in ‘Asag’, the marsh of death.”
“…What about Magi?”
“You are right. It is the magic that flowed from the Dark World.”
“her.”
Aktupir, as well as me and Ellen, were surprised by the princess’s words.
The Dark World is considered to be the leader among the dimensions of evil composed of the spirit world, the phantom world, and the underworld, and is known as the opposite point of the light world, which is the paradise.
As the Dark World’s main scenario is for such a Dark World to erode Middle Earth, it was not common news that the magic power of the Dark World was discovered. This is all the more true considering that the main events of up to half of the Dark World’s campaign were caused by the ‘herald of the dark realm’ and the final boss is the ‘dark lord’, a being similar to the devil.
“But asagra? Why is Maggie in that swamp…
I expressed my doubts, forgetting the sensations coming up from the waist down.
As I recall, Asag was just a farming field with one or two sub-quests and had nothing to do with the main scenario. It’s said that if you decide to skip it, it’s a place where you don’t have to step in until you clear the campaign, but you found Magi in Asag? am i not wrong? The events related to the Dark Territory and Magi are obviously only the main scenario…
“I couldn’t figure out the details either. However, the mighty undead had little by little demonic energy. In particular, after defeating the corpse dragon, which is said to be rare in Asag, I found a… bone jar-like object, and it contained a small but very dense demonic energy.”
After finishing her speech with a firm expression, the princess slowly crossed herself.
ha fuck what is this again
The war didn’t end properly, but what about Magi?
“I’ll turn, really.”
While I was holding my head, Aktufir, who was holding his chin with one large hand, slowly opened his mouth.
