Running down the corridor of a collapsed palace - behind me is Ashley following.

In LVTP-5, it was impossible to drive in a palace littered with debris. Besides, given the aisle width, I don't even know how far we can go. Once back in the garage, he aims for the underground temple of using his feet directly behind the royal castle.

There is no moving light point on the map that floats in view. But it soon became apparent that red blood overflowing from beneath the rubble, abandoned Kingsguard knights and uniformed men in the walls and aisles, along with the bodies of the maids, had been rolling, and that there had been a fierce battle against the "King Flower (Rafflesia)" in the palace. The maids and squires protected outside the palace were only marginal survivors.

"Terrible......"

I heard Pottori and Ashley whining from behind.

I really do - but I don't have time to mourn this tragedy.

The mapping in the palace has been passed to Chancellor Bergman's office, so it's over, but the map won't even show us the rubble that collapsed.

He came out to the garden surrounded by walls on all sides, bypassing the corridor blocked by rubble with Ashley's guidance.

"Here's a small company and a staircase down to the underground temple."

The garden was nicely maintained, but tall plants were planted to intentionally conceal the centre.

"Ashley, wait. There's someone else in this garden besides us, maybe a lookout."

The number of light points raised is six. I put it on the lookout and mouth, but when I saw it solidified, it might be a dignitary or a royal.

Holding the FNP90 with both hands and looking slightly back, Ashley is also removing a small sword and a circular shield from her hip tool bag.

Their gaze overlaps with each other, they nod silently and descend into the garden. Dawn light is blocked by walls on all sides and high grass flowers, and it is still dark in the garden. Change your vision to NV (Night Vision) mode and proceed quietly and slowly.

Moving on, I saw a small wooden company - a building similar to the shrine I had often seen in the previous world. Six figures can also be seen beside them. I don't see a woman as an adventurer with two men in two, both mature.

Two adventurers stand as they watch over those four.

"Ashley, can you see who those four are?

"One of the women is the Queen's Milliner and the other is the Third Queen's Claire. The man... is Captain Cyrus of the Kingsguard Knights, the other..."

"Chancellor Bergman."

Both queens are tied behind their backs and sit back in ruffled outfits that look like bedtime clothes. Chancellor Bergman looks like his usual bureaucratic outfit, but he seems to be tied up as well.

The problem is middle-aged Captain Cyrus. Armor appears to be the standard of the Kingsguard Knights, but signs of heavy damage and bloodshed creep in. But the more eye-catching thing is that the right arm - is not where it should be.

Have you been slashed off? The healing magic seems to have treated the injury, but if it is healed in a lost state, it becomes normalized and difficult to re-bind. I could see him scratching the base of his arm tightly, worrying about the wound.

Captain Cyrus wasn't tied up, but he was sitting quietly staring at the two watchmen, whether they were giving up resistance or not forcing them to prioritize the safety of the queens.

Looking around just in case, and further checking the perimeter in FLIR (Infrared Thermography) mode, we identified two heat sources that monitor six people as well.

"Someone's disappearing and watching."

"Huh...?

To my whining, Ashley also reacts in a whisper and looks around. But she doesn't seem to have the skills to defeat disappearing.

"On the right side of the company - behind those big leaves"

"I can't see...... how do you know?

"I'm sensing a person's fever. You can't delude your vision, but you can't delude the calories your body produces."

"You can do that too..."

"Looks like they noticed this way too."

A mass of calories in the shape of a person slowly approaches this way. Are you unwilling to attack us, and while maintaining an invisible position from the adventurers watching the Bergman Chancellors, they have turned to our front.

"Stop there, if you stay gone and get any closer, I'll get rid of you first."

Set up P90 and warn the two approaching with the only audible volume.

"It's not an enemy. I will solve my skills now."

Along with a response to the warning, the two approaching showed up.

Lurking about five meters ahead were two male elves, both dressed in the same uniform, with a fine sword on their hips.

"Shaft, they're" You Shadowgrass. "

"As Ashley put it, we are the Shadow Grass."

“Monarch Grass" - an intelligence clan under both Prime Minister Zepernell and Prime Minister Bergman. Direct guards should also serve, but I remember seeing this uniform in the palace - crossed by the Kingsguards in the aisle and fell.

According to the two of them, "Monarch Grass” and Chancellor Bergman, who sensed the disturbing movement of “Hegemony Flower," remained in the royal castle and were being chased to confirm and scrutinize information.

But it turned out to be too late to notice...... The simultaneous attack by the “King Flower” on important facilities in the Wang capital and the revolt aimed at the royal family took place on a scale far exceeding the total power of the "King Flower”.

Its biggest factors are the help of the Baishburn Empire and the presence of ghost steel soldiers (minions).

“Monarch Grass" joined the Kingsguard in defense to fulfill his role, but was truncated by Felix, the biggest power of ”King Flower“.

Parallel to the defensive line, he guided the Prime Minister's safety and the evacuation of the clerks who remained within the Royal Castle, but the key Bergman Prime Minister was also a high priority goal.

And this is the final situation.

Chancellor Bergman and the Queens were captured and too few to move, “Monument Grass” was in a situation where a rescue operation would make it impossible to succeed in escaping.

Until he joined us, he monitored the situation and waited with the intention of jumping out if his life was imminent.

"So, who's in the temple?

"King Arsica and Prince Kileak, and Felix Mendoza."

"Heard you couldn't inherit the throne without Chancellor Zepernell?

"Exactly. In fact, it is considered a ritual of succession to the throne to receive the magic that can only be exercised by Master Zeppernel - the Promised Blessing."

"So what are the three of you doing inside?

"I don't know...... are you waiting for Master Zepernell to be brought, or maybe you're just going to move on with the ritual of succession to the throne"

"If you don't go inside, don't you see..."

"But the entrance to the underground temple is sealed only by royal men or Zepernell."

"I can curse that. Because I was taught shortly after I was chosen as my next principal."

Ashley was officially recognized as the next Zepernell family owner shortly after the ceremony to celebrate Prince Ark's adulthood. You must have asked me afterwards about how to enter the underground temple and the ritual of succession to the throne. But then...

"Does Ashley teach the magic of -" The Promised Blessing "?

"Yeah, that magic hasn't been taught, and I guess... it's not possible for me because of Blood Skills"

Ashley waves her face sideways as she lays low.

You haven't taught me - no, it's more of a pedigree skill, so what do you mean you can't? Ashley was supposed to be a Zepernell family member, but didn't she inherit the Blood Skills?

Sure... The range I looked into shows that "pedigree skills" are inherited within the same blood muscle and can be expressed spontaneously, while others can be expressed with the help of what they have already said.

Over the years, blood muscles expand and change from "pedigree skills" to general "skills" over time. The Zeppernel family has a long history too, it's not strange that it's already turned into a "skill," but what Ashley says is like...

"You're not connected to blood?

"... yes. The Sovereign was the only one, and the Zeppernel family was born after the founding of the Kurt Melga kingdom. I heard it was the beginning of welcoming orphans who had lost their parents as family members and starting to raise them as people to support the country. And..."

"And?"

"Do you think you can have children with the body of the Sovereign?

That word has no words to give back. Chancellor Zepernell is a small toddler who only looks one, two or three years old.

"You can't... So, you know what that magical effect is?

There was no answer to that question. Neither Ashley nor the two "Monument Grass” know the magic name until it works.

Was it magic that the aim of the King's Flower was to secure the identity of Chancellor Zeppernel? No, whatever - this side is where Prime Minister Zepernell is.

It is now the current King and Prime Minister Bergman who should be rescued. Undo the deviant story, first help and get out of the four people in front of you.
