"Mirinee, are you okay?
Milline's hands were covered in scars. Even the wounds on her hands never healed due to the work in the field. However, Mirine was confident in her sewing skills, and she moved her needle skillfully.
"Yes, I'm fine.
"How much can you do with so many? I've received it anyway: ......
Malfi, a middle-aged woman living in the same town, said with concern.
'We have to earn some money. When Zinto returns from the battlefield ....... I want to give him a full meal after a lot of hard work.
"Well, this girl is ......
Malfi felt sorry for Milinette enough to do so. Because he thought there was little or no chance of Zinto coming back. People without power are just expendable, even if they are drafted. My own brother was drafted and died like that when he was young. She had already told herself over and over again that she was very worried about how Miline, who seemed to live only for Jinto, would perceive this fact.
"Don't dedicate your life to Zinto. You may not be alive anymore. ......
But the answer to such words was always the same. Even though Milline was so tired that dark circles appeared under her eyes, her eyes sparkled strongly at the mention of Zinto.
Jinto is strong. He will definitely come back alive. Absolutely.
That's when I heard a voice from outside.
"Is Miline here?
Malfi and Miline looked at each other as they heard the man's voice for the first time.
Even the townspeople who were with me look at me dubiously.
Who are you?
Malfi opened the door.
It was there, Erhin.
And standing outside the house looking restless was exactly Zinto.
"What ......?
At that moment, Jinto and Miline's eyes met.
*
Two people running up to each other from either side and hugging each other.
"Jinto, the injury is ......! Are you hurt?
Miline asked, checking every inch of Zinto's body. Zinto replied with a nod.
I'm fine.
Milline finally nuzzled her face into Zinto's chest as if relieved.
I believed that I would come back alive. But the ladies in town keep telling me that I might not be alive anymore, so ....... Thank God, I'm so glad. ......!
Tears spilled out of Miline's eyes.
"Because when Zinto died, I was going to follow him.
Zinto gave the same answer to that tragic resolve.
'It's the same for me,'
In the midst of all this, I was the one who lacked the care to interrupt the reunion.
"Sorry for the emotional reunion, but ....... Gint, let's get going.
What's the point of going back to Adrian to be impressed? They'll be looking for you nearby because you've been wolfing down in the watchtower, and the inevitable battle is waiting for you.
'Miline, there's a situation. Let's get out of here for now.
Jinto understood the meaning of my words and picked up Miline and put her on his horse.
"Yikes! Zint!
Milline, who was riding a horse for the first time in her life in a confused state, suddenly raised her eyebrows.
'You're going on horseback? And this is ......! Zint! You stole it again!
I'm sorry. No, I'm not. I didn't steal it. It's his horse.
Zinto pointed at me, seemingly unable to disobey Milline.
"Speaking of which, who is this?
I looked at Zinto at the question. I was a little curious to see how he would answer.
"Benefactor.
"What's the benefactor?
Zinto said something a little unexpected.
'I don't know what that means, but I'm sorry anyway. Zinto doesn't talk much, so I can't explain it well. ......
I'm fully aware of that. "I know that well enough, but this is not the time for that. We'll talk about it later.
Immediately ran the horse. Then Zinto followed.
'Wait, Zinto!'
I'm sorry. I'll explain everything later!
"Wrong direction! You're going back to town, right?
No wonder my head was confused as we left Miline's shout behind and started back the way we came.
And there was a border patrol waiting for us, as expected. They were in such a badly pissed off state that they had searched quite a bit.
"How dare you come across a closed border. You Lunan turncoat!
Originally, the border between Nalja and Lunan could pass through a barrier. That was before Naluyah started the war. But now that the situation has changed, it's only natural to be treated as a turncoat if you sneak across it.
[St. Rite's Border Patrol]
[100 people]
Morale: 76]
Training degree: 85]
The patrol was quite a strong army, befitting the strength of Nalja's troops.
In addition, there are such patrols all over the border.
There are more than 10 patrols of 100 men, and signals are sent from the coordinated watchtowers from time to time.
This is why the troops keep flooding in.
That means that even if there are 100 men now, there could soon be 1,000.
That's what border guards are, well, that's what they are.
I invoked my skills to get away from such patrols.
I was well aware of the size of the patrol unit.
The last war.
Demasin El-Hito sent me the remaining enemy force from Luon Castle.
It was a guerrilla battle between me and Jinto that wiped them out.
I earned a few points there.
My current armed strength is 64.
And I have one more skill.
"Zinto, let me take care of this and stand back!
"Not going to happen! I'll help you too.
Just protect Miline. I'm enough for that level of protection. If anything happens to her, you'll never get here!
Damn. ....... I get it.
Zinto couldn't deny it either, as he picked up Miline and dismounted.
"Gint? Hey, hey!
In such circumstances, the
Do you use earthquakes?
In combat against a large number of enemies, a wide range of skills is necessary.
The existing skills had a limited range, so he stabbed his sword into the ground to use his newly purchased skill.
Then the ground cracks starting from the tip of the sword extended up to 100 meters in front of the soldiers!
When a red light emanates from the ground, the ground cracks
Gogo Gogo Gogo!
More than half the troops who were in front of the 100 began to fall.
Whoa!
Due to the power of the skill, there were only about 30 people left.
It's nothing like this.
Do you want to use the benefits?
Wielding Datong Ren, he took care of the rest of his troops.
In the blink of an eye, Miline just blinked at the quick turn of events and Zinto had a look on his face like he was envious of my skills.
"Jinto, let's go up the mountain and cross the border now. We'll draw off another unit that's coming after us!
I hurried on my way as the patrol followed from behind.
Fortunately, it managed to pull away.
The patrol that started to gather and begin to chase after us late.
"Turners, get them! Hey, stop!
They will chase you at the foot of the mountain shouting so, but what kind of fugitive would stop at that?
I didn't have much of a problem getting away because I was able to annihilate the first patrol and keep my distance.
What's more, Zinto picked her up when Miline was getting hard and ran, so she was able to cross the border to the top of the mountain without further problems.
Once down the mountain, you won't have to worry about the Nalja patrol.
If you let the spies get away with it, that's it. If a patrol crossed the border, it would be tantamount to a declaration of war. A mere territorial patrol had no such authority.
Soon the Aintolian plains lay before us.
That's exactly what it meant to have succeeded in taking out Miline.
*
A few days later, Erhin, through his chamberlain, prepared a house for Miline and Zinto to live in.
In the vicinity of the lord's castle was a nice two-story house.
Milline checked with Zinto over and over again, unable to believe this situation.
"Are you sure we can live here? Really? Isn't that a dream?
I was sure it was not a dream. Milline thought so. She had never dreamed of a house like this. The house they had been living in was an abandoned house that could collapse at any moment. The house was abandoned, and Milline let out an exclamation of admiration as she entered the house and looked around.
"Gint, look! There's a bed! Fluffy!
Lying in bed, he exclaimed in surprise again, this time to see the kitchen.
"Hey! This kitchen ....... I've never seen something like this before. I can make a lot of good food with this one.
Milline drew his forehead to his chest as Zinto approached.
Zinto ....... I'm so happy. It's a really happy moment if this is real. Are we really going to believe all this?
"Oh. Oh, he's not a nonsense man. He's very different from the other nobles.
Wait, Zinto. He's ....... Don't tell me you're talking about my lord?
Yes, but?
"Baka! Stupid Stupid Stupid! What are you saying about my lord as a he?
But ....... I've been calling it that for a long time and it's .......
Pinched both cheeks of Zinto as Milline was dumbfounded.
You're a vassal, right? Then you've got to have some class!
"...... wow, wow. ......
Zinto nodded, unable to pronounce it properly due to a pinched cheek.
Anyway, you mean Jinto saved the country with his lord?
"That's the thing. That's not Naluyah though. ......
"Bitch! I don't care about Naluyah. I don't care about that. From now on, this is our country that has accepted us!
"I see. ......
Of course. I can't believe they would accept a lowly ...... fugitive like us. Besides, you know how talented Zinto is ....... He's really not a nice guy! Zinto, how can I repay you? How many pieces of sewing do I have to do ....... No, how many tens of thousands?
Mirinee began to roll her eyes in circles as if she couldn't possibly count on two hands.
"But good luck! Oh, yeah! I collected this much sewing.
Mirinee carefully took out of his pocket a silver coin that he had carefully stored away.
I'll buy you something delicious with this ....... So ....... We ....... We'll be together forever, right?
Chapter 1
The tears I had been holding back since the moment I met him began to flow.
The more he did so, the more Jinto pictured himself locked up in prison.
Without him, I couldn't bring tears of joy to Miline's eyes.
So, this was a weighty favor.
A favor that cannot be repaid even if your sword is broken and your head rolls to the ground.
Thinking of this, and Zinto clenched his fists in both hands.
