Skeleton Knight, in Another World

Princess's Return 1

Hoban territory of the Kingdom of Rhoden.

Nestled between the Ternassos Mountains to the west and the Annette Mountains to the east, the land was located on a trading route with the Grand Duchy of Limburt, southeast of the Kingdom of Rhoden, where the territory was relatively rich.

But the people are raised by the repeated heavy taxes and tyranny of Count Hurriche du Hoban, who ruled this place, and at last the Count is taken over by the hands of the people.

Though the territory became disorderly at one time because of it, the subsequent crackdown on the King's army led by the First Prince, who was dispatched by the King's capital, led the uprising and confusion caused by the popular uprising to convergence unexpectedly and quickly.

Thereafter, the First Prince was packed in a painting of a former lord's castle in Hoban territory in order to restore law and order and re-establish government in Hoban territory, and was in charge of the affairs and the field.

The main building of the Lords' Mansion, which was raided during the popular uprising, remained desolate by acts of looting and destruction, and the First Prince was based in an annex a little further from it.

Compared to the Royal Palace's living room, that one is cramped and formatted as a poor minister.

It was a tall young man who was looking through a bunch of reports stacked on his desk, paying off a little bright brown forehead hanging from his eyes, slightly wrinkled between neat, facial brows.

Dressed in luxurious military attire, he is the first prince of the Kingdom of Rhoden, Sect. Rondal Carlon Rhoden Sadier - the man.

He was a busy Sect Prince, chased by post-Hoban post-tranquillity, but in his mind the more suspicious matter was much smoked, and his expression lacked something called glory because of it.

Such a knock of doors echoed in his ear announcing the visitors.

"Get in."

Prince Sect does not lift his eyes out of the bundle of documents and gives permission to enter the room to anyone beyond the door.

"Excuse me."

Slightly when the door was opened, one magnificent man lowered his head and entered the room.

With brown hair, beard, and a large body, the military costumes are all military and other flavors, and the appearance of oligarchy that doesn't talk too much is also dressed up as a strict atmosphere.

His name is Cetrion do Orsterio.

He was one of the generals who led an army of kings marched to calm this Hoban, and one of the first principals who hoped to put Prince Sect on the next throne.

"I just received news from Lord Tiocella. Her Royal Highness, Princess Juliana, was declared dead, but there were reports that a line led by that princess had entered Tiocella."

General Cetrion raised the report in a pale tone, but when he heard the report, Prince Sect slammed a bunch of reports on his desk and peeled his eyes.

"... were you still alive, Juliana"

Prince Sect wrinkles between his eyebrows with a squeezing voice.

The newspaper was also his biggest concern here these days.

Princess Juliana II was the son of a former queen and one of the heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Rhoden, who was supposed to have been buried after he conspired to commit an assassination with Dakares, who was the second prince.

But once the assassination squad retreated in the aftermath of the assassination, those dispatched to transport Yuliana's body disappeared to the remains of a neglected line of carriages and multiple escorts, and the whereabouts were unknown.

Although there had been reports that the princess had definitely killed one of the seven dukes who had carried out the assassination, Caex Collaio do Brutios, the son of the Duke of Brutios, General Cetrion in front of him had told that the report had been an error.

"I had no idea it would be the least likely and worst possible outcome of my concerns..."

Prince Sect laughed mocking himself, eventually exhaling a deep sigh.

As the prince himself put it, he had at his disposal the ornament of the former queen's figure, which his sister had always attached to her skin, as a sign of the success of her assassination.

The fact that it arrived at hand meant that Juliana fell and was stripped of her necklace, at least in front of her.

Furthermore, the fierceness of a warcraft named Horned Wolf, who was then attacked, is a sufficient factor for a death that cannot be escaped, even if he was dying and connected to his life.

Even if we can finally survive the Warcraft, we can't possibly show up in public as soon as possible with the bruises sustained in the raid.

Contrary to this, the report was that Juliana was alive and well without much scratch and appeared once again in the territory of Tiocella in the Kingdom of Rhoden.

"What will you do, Your Highness?

Ask General Cetrion to call on Prince Sect, who had lost his voice.

When Prince Sect's thought returned to reality in the words, he took a deep breath and corrected his posture so that he could breathe and sit back in his chair.

Caeks, who asked him to raid Juliana, was in command of the assassination unit, but he also heard that he was in the rear and didn't directly harm Juliana.

If so, it is unlikely that Yuliana has been exposed to this trait that struck her.

But in the unlikely event that he had to attempt a second assassination, though dangerous, he turned his attention to General Setrion, who stared at him with his posture corrected.

"I've never been cautious when I said to Juliana that it was unlikely that this trait would be exposed... Is it possible to handle this while you're in Tiosella?

Prince Sect dived slightly into his voice and asked the general, General Setrion shook his head beside it and took a method of denial.

"Unfortunately, in addition to the original thirty or so escorts, the Princess Yuliana line is accompanied by two hundred escorts flying the flag of the Grand Duchy of Limburt"

To that answer Prince Sect bites the edge of his lips and lifts his eyebrows.

"Damn, it's Juliana's sister's money..."

Juliana's sister was married to the Tischiento family, the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Limburt, as the righteous queen, and her sisters were better friends than when she was in the kingdom.

It was easy to imagine Juliana relying on her sister, who secretly fled to Limburt after the raid, to send soldiers to escort her for her sister.

"And there are about thirty Elf warriors and thinkers in Princess Juliana's line, and you can say that it's virtually impossible to defeat them and exchange them."

"Nah!? He said he was an elf warrior?

In that return of General Cetrion, Prince Sect roughed up his voice with a stunned expression on his face.

The Elves are a minority that inhabits the Canadian Great Forest, which extends east of the Kingdom of Rhoden, and when it comes to its warriors, each and every one of them is a master of combat who specializes in the magic and sword moves cultivated by longevity.

If that were to serve as an escort for Yuliana, then, to the extent of the concurrent soldiers, it would be necessary to have a significant number of people available to push them in numbers, which would inevitably make them stand out.

It was impossible to easily set up an assassination.

But - and Prince Sect glances at the root of his brow and arms together.

"Why did the Elves come out to escort Juliana?

The question was natural.

The Kingdom of Rhoden once did business with the Elves, and it was difficult to say that the relationship was very good.

Not only that, but the Elves who escaped persecution from the people and caged themselves in the Canadian Great Forest, because the neighboring Grand Duchy of Limburt was the only opponent, and now rarely saw them in the nation's land.

I don't know why the Elves bothered to step into the kingdom of men to escort Juliana - and I'm not sure why, but I let unspeakable anxiety dwell in Prince Sect's heart.

But also during the restraint, Prince Sect, who eventually raised his face, turned his gaze to General Cetrion, who raised the edge of his mouth and refrained from seeing it.

"Well, if we got here, it wouldn't be anything like scratching my feet right now."

"So?"

"It's my sister who survived the conspiracy of her brother Dakares, why don't we laugh and welcome her"

When Prince Sect hit his own knee with his hands with a somewhat playful narrative, he turned his eyes to the view outside the window and laughed lightly.
