“I’ve been waiting.”
And as soon as we stepped through the new hallway, there were people waiting for us in front of the prison cells. Unlike the previous group of knights outside, these guys were heavily armed.
The redheaded man standing before us glared at Liam, then with a gruff voice, he shouted.
“Do you truly intend to let that cursed scoundrel have the throne, Duke?! Have you not questioned why he survived alone while the rest of his family perished? That wretch is not a legitimate prince!”
“Watch what you say with that mouth of yours.”
Schubert scowled. He became furious the moment Albert was insulted.
And seeing Schubert react that way, the man guffawed.
“Haha! Baron Schubert. You’re finally showing your true colors. I’ve always wondered why you’ve stooped so low that you even joined the knight order.”
Seriously…
How endlessly pathetic.
I’m not even mad.
In any case, once Albert would come and sweep away all these people later, that’s the only time they’d realize how stupid they’re being… And at the end of the day, they’re just extras to be used as sacrificial lambs for cider.[1]
“Charge!”
At the man’s command, the knights behind him rushed forward.
We were completely outnumbered, but because the space around us was small and the people were bottlenecking at the entrance of the hallway, it’s a relief.
I looked around. Amidst the flood-like wave of incoming knights, they had an opening in their defenses. Their side was a mess because they were attacking at once.
Clash! Swords clashed against each other, their metallic sounds echoing across the air. But no one seemed to have noticed me.
They weren’t aware of my presence. Mercy’s spell was definitely still working.
The moment I cast a spell myself, my existence would be revealed. Even if they still wouldn’t be able to see me, they would start being vigilant against the presence of a mage here, and this would just make it difficult for me to enter the prison cells.
So, I had to hide my presence.
“Why is a cat…”
The enemy knights naturally got distracted by Blanc. Right now, Blanc was walking leisurely down the steps.
Blanc stared at them. He looked as if he didn’t know what was going on right now.
“Blanc, didn’t you say you have a weak constitution?”
“If you’re fine, I’m fine. Since we entered the contract…”
…Our souls have become connected. This was both exciting and chilling. I should take care of myself, too. I can’t let Blanc die in vain because of me.
“And they’re too slow…”
I got a bit confused by what he said.
“…People are moving slow?”
“Yeah… I can avoid everything.”
Surprisingly, Blanc looked very determined. Even Blanc, who usually moved like a turtle, could be agile when he wants to be agile.
I’ve become his contractor already, but why couldn’t I see what Blanc was seeing right now?
Maybe it’s possible only after he becomes an adult?
I shook my head and focused on the matter at hand again. There’s another hallway behind the attacking knights.
Seeing as how there were two knights stationed as sentries there, that should be the right place.
It looked like the mages were locked up in there.
First, I need to sneak over to that place, use electricity to drive them away, open the prison cell right away, and then go inside to cast the spell on the mages… Three magic spells in total that need to be done in quick succession.
Alright. I got this.
A quick reaction time was the best in this situation. To do the spell, the magic circle should absolutely be learned. Memorization was a key step that shouldn’t be skipped.
I was carrying the wand already, but let’s also bring a sword just in case.
Right then, I saw one knight leaning against a wall to catch his breath.
I’m not sure if that knight was fatally wounded, but Schubert just ignored him and didn’t kill him.
I know Mercy put a spell on me, but I still needed to steel my nerves first before charging straight through these fiercely fighting men.
I took the fallen knight’s sword. As he groaned, he looked around while startled because his sword disappeared.
“…No, where did it go?”
With the sword now in one hand, I slipped through the crowd and ignored the knight’s words. I was surprised to find out how heavy it actually was.
The people around me were fully immersed in fighting the opponents that were right in front of them, so they didn’t notice me at all. I continued to sneak through them.
At the back, the redheaded man gave a steady stream of commands while also fighting Liam. He seemed to be a knight commander.
The way their swords clashed in the air was mesmerizing to watch, as though they were performing a sword dance.
Liam gracefully parried the knight commander’s rather crude and rough attacks. Their exchanges reminded me of fencing.
I lied in the wait for an opportunity, and taking advantage of them briefly getting distracted by the knight commander, I cast a spell on the sentries who were blocking the passageway.
“Forget.”
It was the very first spell I learned, and it was also the one I knew best. It’s a spell that would make things easier for me, more than any electric shockwave.
Waving the wand, I visualized the magic circle in my mind. What I wanted to do was for these people to forget why they were standing in front of the door here.
The memories that could be erased by the spell would vary from person to person. Even so, no matter who it was, it’s impossible to make them forget those memories forever.
Still though, it’s unclear how long exactly they’d regain their memories after the spell would come undone.
After I cast the spell, the knights blinked. Looking into their hazy gazes, I slipped between them.
“Huuuh?”
Leaving behind the knights’ voices behind me, I darted down the stairs.
