Chapter 87:
Whoosh-
The arrow flew again.
I shook my head, clinging to the horse.
Actually, I had a protective device on my body, but I was scared to get hit by an arrow.
“Oh my god!”
The chase with the arrows continued.
Janice must have known what kind of situation I would be in.
It was also a reasonable doubt.
I’m glad I knew how to ride a horse properly, if not…….
The grip of the reins become more stronger.
I had to run a little more to get to the place I had set. It would be nice to give up on your own and go back before that.
The more questions were asked, the more suffocating they were.
“Oh, really! You’re persistent! Come on!”
Whoosh-
The arrows continued to fly, and I pressed my body to the horse and ran while looking straight ahead.
If I run back, there are people chasing, and if I go towards them, it becomes dangerous.
So where am I running?
I do not know either. Just looking straight ahead and running.
“Sir El!”
I think it’s finally time.
An angel appeared with a crunch. El, who had been watching for so long, showed up.
“Oh, I thought I was going to die! I’ve run so far on a horse that my butt feels numb!”
I thought I was going through.
He came running at the speed of the horse’s run towards me.
This is why people have to be capable. I can’t believe that speed was possible…
I was a little relieved.
I honestly suspected a little because I thought the plan went wrong. Fortunately, I seems to have arrived properly.
“Try to slow down your horse a little. Then I’ll get on somehow.”
“Well, how do I do it?”
“What’s wrong with it?”
“I can’t stop the horse!”
It was out of control, perhaps because of the excitement. It was just like a car without brakes.
Besides, if it runs erratically, I’ll fall from this height and roll around.
If I’m unlucky, I might get kicked by the horse’s heel.
“Argh!”
Whoosh.
The arrow flew again.
“Don’t raise your head! I’ll take care of it.”
El disappeared with the horse.
Either way, the arrows flew, and I could even feel the other faces.
I’m going crazy!
Where does people keep coming from?
I felt like I was fighting alone because I couldn’t even see El.
I had no choice but to take out the arrow from my back and fix the reins firmly on my body.
Then, after slowing down, I took aim and dealt with those who were aiming at my neck one by one.
‘But Duke Sen really is a coward.’
He was nowhere to be seen. Aren’t you enjoying your hunt?
I had no mercy to worry about the lives of those who were after me because I had to live.
“It’s endless!”
I pulled the arrow.
When I took out the arrowhead on my back, it ran out.
As I stopped in the designated area, the assassins surrounding me at the same time.
“Now, the play is over.”
Locked them up perfectly in a wooded place.
But there was one thing I didn’t expect. That was the horse that was already excited.
Planning didn’t matter to the animal. The horse ran straight through the forest.
I didn’t expect this.
“Oh, no!”
There was a huge obstacle in front of me that the horse couldn’t cross because the tree was bent.
I shouted to myself, swearing as much as I could.
“Argh!”
I didn’t mean to die like this.
It feels like everyone’s personality is ruined by coming here.
My dirty personality is about to be smashed.
* * *
At that moment, I felt someone settle down easily behind me.
“It’s alright now.”
The voice alone relieved me. I looked back with a face full of tears.
There was Leon holding my waist firmly and controlling the reins.
Oh, I’m alive.
Tears poured out.
“I thought I was going to die. Why are you so late!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Leon remained calm even in this situation.
I cried for a long time in his arms.
When I came to my senses, Leon was a mess.
“What’s wrong with your body?”
I gazed at his body in amazement at the sight of his blood-stained scourge.
“It’s nothing, it’s alright.”
He swept the wound with his hands in a hurry. At the same time, it was as clean as ever.
“……What do you mean it’s nothing.”
It must have hurt a lot.
Tears welled up in my eyes. Rather, it was me who was fine.
“Let’s go back to the designated place for now. El would have dealt with it.”
“Yes, that would be better.”
Leon and I got up from our seats. What the hell did you do to look like this?
I’m sure the assasins only came to me.
“Hey, I’m the one who became the bait. Why are you in such a mess. Let me see.”
Leon laughed silently at my words. Something else must have happened.
“It’s really alright.”
“You were hurt…”
I sniffed, sweeping my hands where Leon’s blood was.
Seriously, I’m stupid.
Why isn’t this happening.
Of course, it was true that I saved him when he was young in preparation for such a situation, but it was not convenient when the situation came.
“Duke Sen did not move himself. I think it will take some time to find evidence.”
“As expected, I knew it. How many assassins he bought?”
I gritted my teeth. He don’t even have the courage to come forward, he just doing the back work.
“Leon, don’t step forward.”
“I’ll only go for you.”
“Leon.”
“I’m stepping up because it’s concerning you.”
Leon smiled, holding my hand.
Why are you smiling at this situation like a fool.
“…Fool.”
“It doesn’t matter if I’m a fool.”
Leon examined my body and was relieved to see that I was not injured.
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
“…Aren’t you a real fool?”
I felt a little bit sorry and got angry. Leon didn’t stop smiling at me even like that.
* * *
“My Lady!”
I asked while looking at El running towards me.
“How is it? What did you find out?”
“Ah, that’s it. Because everyone committed suicide…you doesn’t look any better than that.”
Maybe because I rolled in the forest, my whole body was a mess.
“…You don’t look allright, so you don’t have to answer.”
“It’s become complicated.”
Leon sighed, still stroking my back.
“I think it’s better to just deal with it quietly.”
“Leon, didn’t you run into the princess on your way here?”
I glanced at him. Come to think of it, this is the ribbon I dropped?
“I guess you followed me right away after seeing this.”
“Oh…It’s not, but it is, as a result.”
He didn’t say much.
There seemed to be something that he didn’t say, but I didn’t ask.
Because that wasn’t the point.
El looked around with a serious look on his face.
“Considering that there are no signs, I think this is the end for the day.”
“I’d like to ask you to clean up.”
El nodded at Leon’s words.
“Yes, I will report to the count separately for now.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, I opened my mouth looking for the timing.
“…I think Princess Janice is also involved.”
He can’t say no. Because he already know what Princess Janice told me.
I think they’re expecting something.
“I’m not sure.”
“I know, or maybe Delther is involved.”
I got up from my seat, brushing my butt.
Janice or Delther. Or the two of them helped.
“Well, I think this might help.”
Edgar’s shadow, who was with El, brought an arrow and put it on the floor.
El tilted his head.
“Looking at the arrow, I don’t think it’s from the royal family side.”
So Duke Sen planned it alone.
I thought Janice was also involved. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
Leon also made a slightly complicated expression.
I hold my head and rolled my eyes.
“Should we give up like this?”
“No, we won’t. It seems quite impatient.”
Why are there so many people aiming for my neck.
I’ve only been guilty of living a decent life. I didn’t even have time to make enemies in the outskirt!
I felt a sense of injustice.
When I realized that it was a novel and felt like I had no day to relax, I felt depressed.
He crouched down again and looked at the arrow.
“By the way, the royal family may have bought someone, right?”
I’m sure you don’t know that the emperor asked me to attend the hunting contest.
“There is a possibility, but I wouldn’t have taken the risk because more people would know the secret if they attracted outside forces.”
So Janice really wanted to win?
Maybe she was trying to win and ask for something.
I don’t like it, though.
As I picked up the arrow and looked around, a sharp nib flashed.
I knew it, but when I went through it, I wasn’t nervous.
It was terrible to think that sharp nib would have gone through my neck.
“……I think I should stop being generous.”
Leon muttered, his face crumpled.
“But, I think Janice knew it, too.”
“Why do you think so?”
“The emperor told me to go around with Janice, but she asked me to hunt separately.”
I thought she felt uncomfortable, but I didn’t know she wanted to get rid of me this much.
Well, from Janice’s point of view, I’m just a distraction.
There was no reason for us to go hunting together, but I participated on the condition that I was with her.
Janice couldn’t have known that.
“She said she wanted to win.”
No matter how hard she tried, it was hard to win. It’s also the first time she participate.
“We’ll be back for now.”
“Do so. I’ll be with Elle.”
“…Leon, if you’re with me, you’ll be misunderstood.”
Anyway, Janice is watching with her eyes.
I suddenly disappeared then appeared again, and I’m with Leon. I don’t know how she’ll react if she know this.
‘There’s nothing wrong with being careful in a situation where your life is threatened.’
Leon sighed at the wound on my wrist.
