Count Scribe's Tutor

Unlike a sunny banquet hall, the garden had not even a handful of light.

And tonight, because of the many clouds, the moon and the stars have lost their light.

Perfect for sneaking around.

Pa!

Ferda's feet hit the ground.

There are knights patrolling the garden at night, but no one notices his march. No, I didn't think he even noticed. So Ferda quickly approached the western gate.

Then, I heard a clear voice from the waist.

“Are you heading out of the castle? ”

Bernia was hanging by her side.

Ferda nods quietly.

“Yes, you can't have a detailed conversation in Uranus. ”

A half-day tour of the castle.

There were no spots here where there were no eyes. I even kept the Watcher's eyes on the lodging where the servants lived. So I discussed it with reality, and decided to get Vernia out of the castle.

“But to get out of the castle. ”

Bernia, who joined the horses, suddenly looks at the western gate.

There were numerous knights and rangers gathering in her sights, with bright torches that illuminated the darkness. I know what you're thinking. Ferda speaks in a dry tone.

“Don't worry. I don't want to go through there. ”

“So how do you plan to get out? ”

“This is how it's going to go. ”

I reached my hand over the wall, terrified of the answer.

A thread that flows from the gloves of angels at the same time. With only magical power, the thread of hardness that cuts even steel is firmly fixed on the wall.

Peeing!

After checking for tight pulls, you climb up the wall.

Shortly after, just before arriving at the destination.

“· · · · · · In the Bridge. ”

As soon as the call ended, the silver owl appeared.

In the bridge, Ferda stretches a straight path through the night, noticing what she wanted. And Ferda, without hesitation, hurls herself into the passageway leading up to the path.

Glug!

Ferda and Bernia's body quickly covered in darkness.

After a while, the two of them quietly asked as if nothing had happened.

* * *

After leaving the castle.

Ferda heads to the rendezvous point she heard from Silvan. It was a place of Heron and other clans.

After a while, we were some distance from the castle.

Bernia opens her mouth.

“Earl Sernerk has many mysterious powers. ”

The elasticity of surprise. But Ferda didn't insist.

I didn't want to waste my time fighting.

I ran for about ten minutes, and then I arrived at my destination. Ferda leaves the princess on the floor for a moment, then chops off a piece of her shirt.

“Cover your nose and mouth with this. ”

Bernia tilts her head.

But for a moment, she looked at Ferda's actions and asked, "No way.

“Are you planning on going in there? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

Ferda nods, expressionless.

A rally point of his choosing. It was the underground waterway of Jerome's kingdom. It was also the best place to stay for the Undead, and it was the rarest place of its kind. It would be perfect for avoiding surveillance.

Meanwhile, Bernia nods as soon as she hears the explanation.

Shortly after preparing, Ferda picks up Vernia again and steps toward the interior of the canal. I just got into the canal, and a terrible stench is starting to pierce my nose.

“The smell will be terrible. Hang in there.”

After I spoke to Bernia, I didn't take a few steps.

I feel a blurry aura in front of the starfield. His presence is so slight that he won't notice unless he concentrates his senses. After a while, a familiar face appeared.

“Welcome, boss. ”

“What about the others? ”

“It's inside. I'll show you.”

Kalman bows his head and turns.

That's five minutes to go.

I felt a familiar energy from before.

The energy that gives the body the creeps. Only the dead can smell it. Bernia shrugs her shoulders, wondering if she felt it.

“That's · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Belongs to the Earl. Rest assured.”

Ferda, who anticipated the latter, simply replied.

After that, the two undead in hoods appear.

Heron and Tervand.

After opening the iron door to another section of the underground waterway, a cozy space was opened with torches. It was an incredibly neat place, the same place I've seen since I came here.

“I've arranged a place for you to stay for a while. ”

Bernia blinks her big eyes.

Then, I asked again with a blank face.

“When did we get here? ”

Of course it will come as a surprise.

It's been less than half a day since the princess asked me to arrange a seat, but this is the kind of place we have here. But not surprisingly for Ferda.

“The erl can talk to his followers from afar. ”

It was because it had always happened.

After solving Bernia's question, Ferda takes matters into her own hands.

“I'm going to leave you alone for a while. ”

“Yes? What can I do for you? ”

“· · · · · · · We have to report to the Earl. ”

I could not answer that I was worried about reality, so I gave him a rough excuse. Then he turned and said without hesitation.

“I'll be back at dawn, so if you're nervous only until then · · · · · · ·. ”

I was going to ask you to wait.

The silent Heron interrupts his words.

“If you want to go to the king, you don't have to go. ”

“What?"

“The king just said he's fine. ”

Heron then briefly explained what he had heard from the practitioner.

In summary, the friendly duel ended shortly after the terrace collapsed and the banquet ended. In fact, he is currently with Merced and is returning to his quarters.

“Oh, and he asked me to tell you this, too. ”

“You're not hurt. Don't worry. ”

Ferda lets out a sigh of relief that she had put up with. At the same time, my firm expression had cleared up since I left the castle.

Bernia interrupts as she hears the conversation.

“I see you've resolved your issue. ”

“Yes, excuse me. ”

Ferda nods her head and looks at her.

“Then I'll get right to the point. ”

Now that you've heard from the realm that you're okay, it's time to fulfill your mission objectives. Ferda opens her mouth with a solemn face.

“First of all, I want to hear why you have this position · · · · · · ·. ”

“Before I do, I want to ask you a question. ”

Even before Ferda's words end, Vernia suddenly stops speaking.

Then he asked me an unexpected question.

“Are you Ser Ferda? ”

As soon as I heard the question, I realized Ferda had not introduced herself.

When we first met at the castle, we didn't even stand next to the princess. Ferda looks down and replies, feeling helpless.

“Yes, I'm Ferda Inoside. ”

“Hehe, I see. ”

A strange smile appeared on Vernia's lips.

A moment later, she explained the reason for the smile.

“Robert told me a lot about you. As bright as he always was when he brought up the Lord's story. If you really were lovers, you'd be jealous. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

Ferda frowns silently as she listens to the story.

What did the princess just say?

You were jealous if you really were lovers?

“It is not between His Majesty and his lover · · · · ·? ”

“Yes, Robert is an old friend and a good brother. Well, it might explain that we're in a business partnership. ”

No, what are you talking about?

I frowned on unexpected information.

Of course, I didn't have much interest in Robert, but I've often seen him make contact with Crystal Balls for two years. However, I feel embarrassed when I say that I'm not in a relationship.

But the shock didn't last long.

It was because there was an answer that bothered me more.

“You just said business. ”

Ferda, who had barely recovered, asked.

“May I ask what business you're referring to? ”

Scary to the end of his questions.

Suddenly, Bernia's expression shifts. Her smile disappears in an instant, and her face hardens like a stone. A few moments later, a cold reply rubs her lips.

“Destroying insects that devour kingdoms. ”

A voice of intense anger and will.

It later revealed the nature of Bernia's business.

“Furthermore, it is the business of alliances with Laderon, as it has always been. Only together can we stand against the Empire and the Holy Land. ”

Finally, Bernia smiles as if to ask when she made that face. Ferda, on the other hand, does not smile. It was because I felt that the speculation that I made in the Kingdom was right.

“Tell me about Jerome. Be as detailed as possible.”

As soon as Ferda's request is finished.

Bernia starts the story as if she were holding her breath.

The overall situation was no different from what he had guessed.

The situation in Jerome's kingdom has changed dramatically since the return of Jerome to Nersio. Exactly when he became the Northern Commander.

Inside the kingdom, there were growing opinions that we should withdraw alliances with Laderon and cooperate with the Holy Nation and the Empire. Moreover, more recently, Nersio has been caught attracting foreign nationals openly.

‘Are you trying to usurp the throne as well? ’

Ferda's face slightly crumpled as his guess turned into reality.

If Jerome's kingdom becomes an enemy, his plans will go wrong in the future. Maybe the risk has doubled.

Then, Bernia opens her mouth with a relieved face.

"Fortunately, the other three groups did not join him," he said. ”

“What if it's three bees? ”

“I'm talking about the Commander guarding the East, West and South respectively. ”

There are four powerful families in Jerome's kingdom.

A protective family guarding the Kingdom's north-east and south-east, and a militaristic family with a strong influence on the military. However, the north explained that Nersio could have become a Northern warlord because he had been destroyed in a war five years ago.

Bernia explains why the three armies did not follow Nercio.

“They have been loyal to the throne of Jerome since ancient times. They're more royalty and authenticity than anyone else, so as long as my brother and I are alive, we will not follow Nersio. ”

Vernia's voice gives you confidence.

It means that he believes in the Three Armed Forces.

Meanwhile, Ferda thought with a solemn face.

Bernia just said,

As long as Nana and her brother are alive, three armies will not follow Nersio.

And if Nercio could take the throne only by taking three armies, he was able to naturally guess what his purpose was.

After a while, Ferda opens her mouth after finishing her thoughts.

“Then the purpose of Nersio is to: ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Bernia nods.

Then he spoke with a contemptuous expression.

“He wants to marry me. ”

“I see. A formal marriage. Yes?”

Wait, am I hearing this right?

Ferda stares at Bernia with a blank face.

At that moment, Vernia heard a message.
