“That coward?”

Abel’s evaluation of the crown prince was poor. In his memory, Theodore was a scarecrow who was weak and only followed her mother’s orders. If nothing else happened, I would have lived like that for the rest of my life. But Maia died along the way. What effect did that death have on the crown prince?

It was a story that Abel could not have known.

‘But I’m starting to get a little interested.’

Watching the process of people changing from the sidelines was more interesting than I thought. How much has Crown Prince Theodor changed? The Archduke, who discovered something interesting for the first time in a long time, decided to hurry his way further.

People suffer when they leave home. Richt felt it keenly. It was okay at first. He prepared a gentle and strong horse in advance, and wore comfortable clothes. No matter how weak his body is, Richt is a true nobleman and can at least ride a horse. Because it is the culture of nobles.

I believed that and set out confidently, but after less than a day, I gave up on the horse. Because his butt and thighs were so sore. He had no idea that riding a horse would require so much physical strength. In the end, Richt paid for a carriage that traveled between cities.

‘Ugh, I feel like I’m going to die.’

I was so caught off guard because it was a carriage. The carriage, which was not very large, was crammed with people and it was difficult to sit down. I managed to fit in, but the rickety carriage was less comfortable than a horse.

‘My ass.’

Once a full-fledged search begins, fake ID cards become ineffective. So, we need to get as far away as possible before Archduke Graham comes to the capital, but moving is not easy.

‘I miss my car.’

Richt held back tears. He wanted to get off the carriage and walk, but he gave up because he knew his stamina was low. Every time the carriage stopped, all I could do was grab a nearby tree and yap. So he left the capital and arrived at the nearest city.

“Let’s rest for a little while.”

Fortunately, the carriage stayed here for several hours. I should have lunch at this time, but I didn’t have the energy to do so. Richt crawled into a nearby inn and rented a room. He felt like he needed some rest to have the energy to move. But maybe it was because he had fallen into a too deep sleep. I missed the carriage.

“OMG.”

Richt touched his forehead and sighed. He couldn’t help but look for his upper carriage. Merchants traveling for business would sometimes pick up people in exchange for money. Fortunately, there was one upper point leading away from the capital.

This time they left the city in a wagon. He could feel his body sagging, but he had to hold on.

‘But you met a bandit?’

Even if you are unlucky, there is nothing wrong with it. It seems that the mercenaries guarding the top were on the same side as the bandits.

“If you give everything you have, I will save your life!”

The bandit chuckled with a horrified expression on his face. As he showed me his dirty body, dirty clothes, and even his wrinkled face, his body began to tremble. Richt’s body, which was naturally prone to mycorrhea, could not bear it.

“You have to give everything too, right?”

One of the bandits approached Richt.

‘It’s difficult to have your bag taken away.’

Just as I was looking for a chance to run away, the hood was suddenly yanked away. He pulled so hard that the button fell off and the cloak fell down.

“Ohh? “This is another beauty.”

I don’t want to hear that from you. Richt’s expression hardened.

“It’ll make a lot of money, right? “Do you stay?”

Then he taps his cheek with his hand. I was truly filled with murderous intent. The hand I clenched became increasingly stronger.

“boss! here!”

The moment the bandits turned around and called out to their leader, Richt quickly picked up a stone from the floor. If you hold something in your hand and hit it, you can apply more force. Without hesitation, he lifted the bandit’s chin and struck him.

“Kkuek!”

The bandit made a strange noise and retreated, but did not fall. The thing in his hand should have been a knife. Licht clicked his tongue and went straight into the next attack.

‘Believe. ‘My shoes.’

Richt was now wearing calf-length boots. The idea was that his feet would be protected from dirt. When attacking others, it is right to attack their weaknesses. And all men had the same weaknesses.

“Aaaah!”

As Richt raised his foot and kicked, the bandit’s terrible scream rang out.

“You crazy bastard!”

While the bandit was holding his crotch and foaming, he ran quickly. At this rate, he felt like he could run away. While I was sliding down the slope with that thought in mind, my body suddenly jolted. My body hit something at the bottom of the slope.

“Ugh.”

I held my pressed nose and looked up. It was so hard and strong that I thought it had hit a tree, but it didn’t. The person standing in front was a person. Richt’s eyes widened. In the meantime, several bandits came running down.

“at there! “I won’t kill you gracefully!”

In the lead stood a bandit who had attacked the man’s weak point. It’s quick to get over it. Richt clicked his tongue and grabbed the hand of the man standing like a pillar in front of him.

“We have to run away!”

Then he ran out and pulled the man, but he didn’t budge. Rather, Richt was taken back. No matter how weak I am, I am still a man, right? Why aren’t you moving? She slowly raised her gaze and looked at the man’s face. The face that had been hard to see due to the backlight was now visible.

‘Are they golden eyes?’

no. If you look closely, it is blue. But the eyes that sometimes sparkled gold were very beautiful and familiar. Why do I feel familiar?

Something felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t have time to look back on my memories. This was because a group of bandits had already come down the slope.

‘Let’s run away, even if it’s by ourselves.’

Richt let go of the man’s hand without hesitation. He had no intention of dying for a man he met for the first time.

“found!”

The bandit approached, hissing. Richt tried to run again, but was grabbed by his hair.

“Fuck, give up the thought of dying gracefully?”

“Hey, why did you kill that?”

“This thing kicked my dick!”

“Why is this little guy so excited? It might kick a bit. “You have a face worth kicking.”

And then he smiles sinisterly. Now, something other than my life is at stake. Goosebumps ran down my spine. They dragged Richit by his hair. I tried hard, but it wasn’t easy to escape.

“Let go!”

The bandit raised his hand. It seemed like he was planning on hitting me in the face. Still, Richt did not close his eyes. He just saw an opportunity.

At that time, the hair held by the bandit was freed. Red blood dripped down with a light cutting sound.

“Uh, huh?”

The bandit foolishly blinks his eyes. Then he suddenly screamed.

“Ugh! my hand! “My hand!”

The bandits were giggling and raised their weapons.

“What, what! “What is that guy!”

It was as if she had finally found a man. As he sat there in a daze, his blood rained down. He would die just by stabbing him with a sword, but his hand is too cruel. Cut off his arms, cut off his legs, and cut into his stomach.

Richt unconsciously raised his hand and covered his mouth.

“Is there more?”

asked the man who killed all the bandits here. Richt nodded slowly and pointed up the slope.

“You don’t move.”

The man said so and calmly climbed the slope. Shortly after he climbed up, he started hearing terrible screams. I felt like I knew what was happening even without looking.

‘I have to run away.’

The man told me to wait, but I couldn’t. Richt tried to get up, but his stiff legs wouldn’t move.

“in action!”

I hit my thigh with my fist. I felt so peaceful after entering this world. Maybe that’s why I let my guard down. It was only now that I realized what a cruel world it was.

“in action!”

After hitting it a few times, my body finally relaxed. Richt held his bag tightly and moved slowly. He wanted to run, but it was still difficult.

If this continues, it will be difficult to get out of here before the man comes. Richt bit his lip.

Lauren was stretched out on her horse, waiting for her lord.

“for a moment.”

Abel left those words and disappeared.

‘Well, it looks like you heard something.’

Abel, who had exceptional hearing, often heard sounds that Lauren could not hear. So, I can’t even curse my boss around him. He wasn’t big enough to do that anyway.

As Lauren stretched out, the other knights also began to wait comfortably.

“But how far have you gone?”

“I don’t know.”

“yes?”

Useless conversations come and go. Among them, not a single one was worried about Abel, who had disappeared. In this case, it was right to worry about the other side. Whether it is a beast or a person. And the prediction came true.

“Aaaah!”

Abel walked leisurely, as if taking a walk, and cut down all the bandits.

“If you don’t want to die, lie down.”

The few surviving merchants and mercenaries clung to the ground, trembling. The bandits followed suit and tried to lie down, but it was no use. This was because the sword cut into his body before he could lie down.

It didn’t take long to take out all the bandits.

“Okay, thank you.”

One of the merchants who had the courage expressed his gratitude to Abel.

“Yes, I will give you a reward.”

He looked like he was going to cry at any moment and tried to offer him the whole wagon, but Abel refused.

“I do not need.”

I was just taking out the trash. He had no intention of taking money from small merchants in this way.
