Running Away From The Hero!

# 3 Their Reason: Recall someone.

“Well, I'm sorry! ”

Dark alleyways.

A normal looking middle-aged man was being held and begged by men in black.

“Damn, not again. ”

“Damn it. Get lost! ”

“Yes, four! ”

A middle-aged man who was captured, though one of the black men released his rough-handed collar, started running scared.

“Damn it, Josh. Are you sure you want to run to the ends of the earth? ”

“I don't know. They could be living in the capital by now. ”

“Still, the Empress is looking for you. Are you sure you're in the capital of the empire? ”

“No matter how big the liver is, it's going to be hard. ”

Cho sighed deeply as he watched the group biting one cigarette at a time while joking.

“Anyway, if we don't find him soon, he could really die. ”

“Cho, I honestly don't understand. ”

Like the rest of the crew, I've just lit a cigarette and vomited out the most questionable question here.

“The Empire is the only Crown Prince we serve. Even if I tell you to tell her, you can't kill her or save her. ”

And looking at that youngest, Cho thought with his eyes narrowed.

"What, this lunatic? ’

“No matter how youngest, it's his second year, right? Who's the shooter?”

“I'm sorry! ”

He hurriedly throws his cigarette on the ground and looks down at the caller, patting his head.

“Take care of your youngest. This is a small kingdom far from the empire, so if you say something like that inside the empire, you'll be killed. ”

“I'm sorry, Cho! ”

All but the youngest, who cannot adapt to the sudden atmosphere, bow their heads.

“Damn youngest. Listen up."

When he saw that, he threw away the burned cigarettes and muttered, biting a new cigarette in his mouth.

“Consider what the imperial order will be. The Imperial Court ranks 1st as the Empress, 2nd as Earl Arten, and only 3rd as the Emperor.” “Promote! What you're about to say is not guilty! ”

“That's why you're still the youngest, you idiot. It's not a crime to say this, since the Emperor himself has spoken. ”

“Yes, yes? ”

I can't believe the emperor himself said there was someone else in his order.

The youngest man couldn't keep up with a story he couldn't understand.

“Well, of course, you are officially the highest rank. But my king doesn't like doing his job. ”

“Yes, youngest. Thus, Earl Arten, who is in charge of imperial security, handles most of the imperial affairs. ”

“Earl Arten, even if you understand, why is Her Royal Highness ranked # 1? ”

“We don't know why. But our lord the Crown Prince understands that. ”

“No, you are more afraid of the Empress since becoming the Empress…. ”

Seeing their leaders shaking their heads, I couldn't understand.

“All we have to do is obey the Lord's command. So don't think about anything else. Find someone named Astra. That's an order."

Cho sighs as he looks at his youngest son who nods.

The look on his face doesn't make sense yet.

However, the chief who had worked with the Crown Prince for a long time still couldn't forget the incident.

One day, the victory of the war started leaning toward the Empire.

A spy has come into the Crown Prince's camp, in the midst of the war and the imperial succession.

Astra, the key figure of the Imperial Court, disappeared overnight.

Astra was one of the most iconic figures on the side of the Empress.

A talented person who came in as an Imperial servant, but was recognized by the Empress.

A master who ascended to the highest ranks at the fastest speed in the history of the empire.

One of the most reliable longevity for allies, but considered to be the most difficult for enemies.

That thing disappeared overnight?

It is possible only for the princess who is leading the army.

It concluded that the Empress had eliminated Astra for some reason.

Maybe that's why the power struggle.

Perhaps there was an incident between Astra and the Empress, who was trusted by the soldiers.

And this conclusion, after only three days, is shattered.

“Brother, do you want to be emperor? ”

The Empress came herself from the Her Majesty's side of the camp that was so quiet.

Even with Lord Leah, the Princess of the Sword, it was a poor escort to the heart of the enemy who was fighting in the imperial succession.

“Are you surrendering, sister? ”

That's why his master, as well as others, was thinking the same thing.

An army that hasn't moved properly since the removal of a man named Astra, the core of the military.

If I had the time, I could fix it, but there is an ongoing battle on most of the continent's phones.

In such a situation, no one else could have missed the shaking of the military, and the Empress, called the Imperial Genius, came to realize that and surrender.

Everyone thought so, but I gave a completely different answer.

“Surrender? Who? ”

The tilting head of the princess looked cute as a girl of that age, but don't be fooled by her appearance.

Even his master, who is a genius who is only thirteen years old but is leading an army, when expressing his sister, the Empress, said:

“Compared to you, I'm still a fool. ”

The princess was the one who judged her master as a monster.

That's why I didn't let my guard down.

Yes, I never let my guard down. I didn't...

“Oh, is that so? Is that a misunderstanding? ”

Lord Leah, the escort, correctly predicted our thoughts and told the Empress, the Empress blinked her eyes and looked surprised.

“I see. You might think so. It's a ridiculous story to me, but I think it might be when other people see it. Yeah, well... I'm gonna need you to tell me what's going on. ”

The moment she said that and smiled.

“Cough!”

“Ugh?”

“What are you doing, sister! ”

I couldn't breathe with the feeling of someone grabbing my heart.

It's not just me, it's all but the Princess and Lord Leah!

“Brother, brother. Do you really think I was fighting over my brother or my little brother that day? ”

We had no choice but to look at the princess approaching the Lord with an elegant step.

I try to move my body, but I can't move a finger.

“I only joined the imperial succession because I needed something to play with Ast, brother. ”

Eventually, even though the princess's finger was so close to the Lord's cheek, we were still unable to move anyone.

“Well, then…. What do you want, sister? ”

“There's only one thing I want, brother. ”

In the Lord's words, the princess smiled so softly that she could not see her radiant red eyes.

“Ast, I just need one. ”

In a word, we realized something was wrong.

If what the Empress said is true, Astra disappeared overnight, not at the hands of the Empress.

“Astra is... ugh... He disappeared three days ago, didn't he? ”

“Yes, exactly. ”

“Run away...? ”

Did you run away? Did you create an achievement unlikely to be found in the history of the Empire?

“Well, every time I look at the astronaut these days, I feel weird. Something tickles me. ”

“Yes, yes? ”

The lord was embarrassed by the sudden sigh and the sudden departure, but the princess didn't care about it.

“So every roughly once in a while, I played a few pranks about marrying me. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

The princess was full of questions, but she couldn't move a finger like us.

“Huh? Oh. It scared the crap out of Ast when he said it. Because it's fun again. Well, anyway. About a week ago, I was just going to do it. He ran away.”

I don't know what the hell this is.

“What do you mean, you actually do it? What is it?”

“I told you before. Of course it's a wedding. ”

Marriage of royalty comes with all sorts of political factors.

In particular, the marriage of those who are close to the imperial throne, among those who have three fingers, is a nationwide problem.

The marriage of the woman who is most wanted there, the closest to the empire?

Although Astra is said to be one of the heroes of this battle, the opposition of the other nobles will be enormous.

No, before that.

“So you ran away? The astronaut?”

It is an enormous sin to flee during a war and still die there.

But a general who rules one army. Running away under the pressure of marrying your boss!

The war isn't over yet!

“My gosh, a beauty like me is going to marry you. Ast is weird, too. ”

Seeing the Empress's expression that she really couldn't understand, we all made a face that we couldn't understand more.

Now we can barely move our heads, we can't even speak except for the Lord.

I don't know when I might lose my life because of the Empress's whimsy, but I was making such a serious situation and the Empress was only making nonsense.

“Is that the one you want, Astra? Is it true we don't even need altitude? ”

“Yes, brother? ”

As the princess spoke with an innocent face, the master silenced her.

And then I thought about it, and he said with a really serious face.

“What the hell do you want him for when you're making such a joke? ”

“I like it. ”

“Yes?”

Even though that serious look broke in five seconds.

“It was literally a joke. Honestly, I wasn't planning on getting married. But when he ran away, I was dumbfounded. And I thought about it for about three days, and I kind of liked him. ”

A teenage girl who talks too gravely about her lover.

However, the master began to grunt on his own without saying anything.

“Yes, ma'am. She understood that the only thing she wanted was the Astra. ”

The Lord grunting for about two minutes sighed and began to speak.

“But even if I did, my men wouldn't understand. So my sister is really in charge.... ”

“Here you go. ”

“I'm talking in style.... ”

The Lord grumbled and accepted the documents that the Empress gave him, even though she began to speak with a rather nice face but did not finish.

“Gears rolls cost the military.... What the hell are you doing, Sister? ”

“This war is too much trouble to catch the escaped astronaut. I'm just trying to get it over with. ”

“Is that so?”

I heard that he is a top talent in his empire, and I never doubted it.

But right now, I'm beginning to doubt my own brain.

I don't know what he's talking about. A princess's word that she will end the war and a lord who will not deny it?

Even though they were heavenly geniuses, they couldn't keep up with their adult conversations for more than a decade!

“I'll think about it. ”

“I'll give you until tomorrow. If you don't like it, I'll go to you that day. ”

When the princess got up from her seat, we were able to move our bodies little by little.

“See you tomorrow, brother. ”

We looked behind the princess and Lord Leah who were leaving without looking back, and we remained motionless for a while after they left.

“What will you do, Lord? ”

After such a long time.

The master smiled bitterly as he asked to make sure that the princess would accept the proposal.

“If you refuse, it's over. ”

Instead of answering in one word, the Lord took a gear roll the next day and went to see the Empress.

“Okay, brother. Then let's end the war in just three years. ”

And she ended the war by shortening that nonsense by three months.
