The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl
gossip part 13 - the seriousness of the captain
The raid that shook the queue of the royal palace began with the King's carriage being raided.
Two horses of the knight who was running the lead suddenly disturbed his footsteps and swayed left and right.
"What's up?
"What's in front of you right now...?
An arrow descends from the woods on both sides almost at the same time as an alert appears on the faces of the knights. Alford drank a floating row.
"Calm down! I'm not shooting enemies, I can prevent them adequately. Protect Your Majesty first!
Alford's voice sounded and the line's steps stopped altogether. As the knights descended from their horses, straw, men with swords, jumped out of the woods, as they waited.
"Respond!"
Alford's hanging made the field air tight.
They are knights. He is rigorously trained every day to protect his king and protect his country. He is the most struggle-savvy soldier in this country and is proud to be so.
You can't take lag with someone like this, who doesn't know any horsebone -.
The unanimous knighthood movement was great. This year, the number of escorts is exceptionally small compared to the usual number of years (there is no choice in view of the noise of the past), but we are collecting skilled people for that matter.
Among them, Alford's struggle, chief of the king's Kingsguard Knights, was awesome. With a large body, he wields a sword longer than normal and effectively drives his enemies out of combat. Normal long swordsmen have absolutely nothing on him, even though they are the ones who can make gaps when they shake up their swords or the moment they descend. Once and for all, he was smothering his enemies, who had been slaughtered for precisely that time, by kicking them lightly.... such as a longswordsman who fights with his whole body, it is not.
As no one here knows, these ways of fighting Alford were mostly trained by these look-alike scammers. That yuman-style combat superman jumps in to his nostalgia without any shards of reluctance forgiveness if this one even shows a gap with us. And if I got in between him, Alford didn't have a shot. In pairing up with Edward, Alford learned how to fight that didn't show any gaps with nature, and to keep in his favor - establishing a way to fight that might be a little wrong as a swordsman, whether it's feet, hands, but heads, but anything you can use.
Those who attacked him, as did the arms of the bow and arrow, were only a few fine amateur groups. He's had quite a sword once, but that's all. The sweep was quick if it touched the best group of gladiators in the kingdom.
The man who had attacked him, some had fled, some had been captured and appeared untouched to the end. Though the knights were uplifting their cheeks to victory while tying up both the 'rogues' -.
(Something's wrong)
Alford felt strange. Even if the king's carriage is attacked by amateurs like this? Even if I conceded a hundred steps and thought it was just an aristocratic carriage, I've never seen such an unheeded, appropriately overflowing raid.
"Alford. You cleaned it up?
"Ah...... Yes, Your Grace."
From the carriage window, Juke is showing his face. He seemed surprised that he was suddenly pressed outside, but he hasn't hesitated.
"What the hell was that all about?
"Hi, I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I heard from the captors."
Alford's words cut along the way. He had not yet relieved himself of his guard and was sensitive to the sound of multiple hooves heard from behind him.
"Alford?
"Your Majesty, please wait."
While I'm saying it, the hoof sounds louder -.
"Are you safe, Your Majesty!
The knights of the Royal Palace Kingsguard who wore them on Deanna were the ones who saw them from the corner. Alford aligns himself with the juke and rounds his eyes.
"Oh, my God, why are you here? What happened to the Red Rose?"
"I have been contacted that His Majesty has been raided, and the Red Rose has asked us to protect His Majesty."
The moment I heard the word, the spine of Alford chilled.
- It's like uncontrolled, purposeless raiders.
I attacked the king's carriage, suppose this one was more ''...!
"Go back!"
He was shouting to the Royal Palace Kingsguard knights who helped him capture the raiders with swallowing. Some of the people nearby are frightened by the roar of the King's Kingsguard, close to screaming.
"You didn't hear me, go right back! No, you guys aren't enough, I'm going, too. Half of you over here, come with me!!
"Oh, hey Alford, no way......!
If you look at the blue juke's face, you can see that he has come to the same conclusion as Alford. Alford nods as he draws his own horse.
"I was wondering if it was extremely likely"
"This place is good, go now! What are you doing, you guys, follow the commander's instructions!
It is a drink of His Majesty the King. I don't know why, but his words are absolute.
A number of horseback rides continued as they chased the captain who had already run out on horseback.
Although the queue is shorter than usual this time, Deanna's carriage is still far behind. In the winding woods, horses couldn't run that fast either, and when Alford began to regret whether this would have been faster on his own, the sight that prediction would never have allowed it to become a reality, but as an undisputed reality, was reflected in his eyes.
A few shadows strike a small, but elegant carriage for women...
"- Huh!!
Anger did not speak. He rushes in furiously while riding, slaughtered by one. The opponent defended aggressively, but couldn't have fought Alford's momentum, and is blown away as he is.
Just that move, okay. - Again, he said this is the main unit.
On that evidence, the moment he saw Alford, the men were turning themselves over and disappearing into the woods. Alford tells his men, who have caught up from behind, not to look back.
"Follow him. - Don't let him get away"
That voice, which had the power to echo from the bottom of the earth, but never to be absurd, conveyed Alford's wrath to his men in full for that matter. A young, yet brilliant, captain who will never forget to take care of himself at any time is seriously angry right now.
Alford is excellent, but so are his men. Immediately he descends from his horse and also speaks to the returning royal palace guards, second-hand splitting and disappearing into the back of the forest.
"Keep the man."
Alford said quietly to the ladies of the rear palace Kingsguard, who stood flat around the carriage. They returned to me in his words, shaking, but moving.
- Here, Alford was finally able to face the person he should face.
"... Rita"
She shook her shoulders frightened by Alford's voice, holding a weapon in her hands that looked like a samurai but had an obsidian glow, staring somewhere not here. Just look at that back that drops without force - and you'll see that the situation sucks.
"... well, it held me up"
I can't find a word to hang. Looking for it, I finally twisted the word out.
Rita's shoulders tremble as soon as possible.
"It did...? Who, how, held up? This... this, this is it."
"Rita."
"Quick, we need to find it. Deana is unfamiliar with this land."
"Rita, calm down"
"Dear Deanna, I'm going now. Wait, I'll be right back."
Rita's eyes are utterly lacking in vitality. What she's looking at is the coniferous dominated forest, which keeps green even in the winter.
... No way, Deanna's in the woods. It was at the same time that Alford was relieved and Rita fluttered out. Reflectively, Alford grabs her arm.
"Rita! How long has it been since she went into the woods? Five minutes, enough? If we let her go, it's impossible for us to find her!
"Let go...... please. I have to go."
"You won't be as used to the woods as she is. If you move poorly, you'll be shipwrecked!
"So you're telling me to leave it like this!
Rita, who rarely absurd her voice, screamed like a mutilation.
"My... even though it's my fault. Just out of my power, I let Deanna go. And you're telling me not to do anything!?
"I didn't say that, I'm sending out a search party right away. But Rita, if she..." Deanna Crester "gets serious in the woods, you can't find her alone. You don't have to tell me that. You know that."
"I don't, that's not true! Dear Deana, Deana, Deana - …"
With a sad voice, Rita keeps calling Deanna. A blade fell out of her hand, losing power, making a powerless noise with Karan.
Rita's despair, through her touched arms, flows into Alford. For Rita, Deanna is the very meaning of life, and the hopelessness she couldn't protect is deep because she knows she's the only Lord in her life.
... before, I didn't properly understand the true meaning of that feeling. I just felt like I figured it out, knowing nothing.
But - now. Rita's despair now hurts as much as mine to Alford, who had a 'Lord' he wanted to protect even in lieu of his life: Juke. If you can't protect the juke because of your own lack of strength, and you're going to mourn it in front of you... because you're not sure you can stay sane.
"Rita, Miss Deanna is safe."
Alford whispered, gently pulling his arms closer, so that Rita could only hear him in his ear. Rita, who couldn't even cry and was trembling, looks up at the whispered word.
"Miss Deanna went into the woods herself, didn't she? Then he's bound to live. You don't even get Miss Deanna in the woods, do you think those guys will catch you?
As I spin the word, I can see Rita's body temperature returning. Alford smiled invisibly...
"... and there's no way that kid's gonna die in a situation I know you'll be alone if you die here"
I gently dropped the truth for him.
Rita's tremor stops. To the body, to the breath, - to the eyes, the strength returns.
Alford let go of his arm and body so that he could not be noticed.
"-... right,"
"Oh, absolutely.... By the way, Samurai, may I ask you a detailed story of what happened here?
- Of course, Captain Swann.
Hearing the situation again from Calm Rita, Alford shook in his inner wrath, but only calmly on the surface, waving the extraction to get things resolved quickly.
(- more like luring Miss Deanna outside to kill her?
Sensitive to the enemy's aim, she separated herself from the carriage to protect her companions. It seems that Alford arrived just after that.
Rita was blaming herself, but it's the same with Alford who wants to blame herself. At least if you'd noticed the enemy's aim quickly for a few more seconds. Before Deanna escaped, before Rita was targeted by the enemy, even though she might have been put in for help.
Staying forever in the woods, targeted by enemies, is extremely dangerous. Alford queued only the minimum number of people needed to escort him ahead (Juke objected, but sent him out, including saying, 'We need to create a search party base in a safe place'), contacted the land's security guards, asked them to detain and investigate those who captured him (with their men on watch, of course), and reorganized the knights to embark on the 'Red Rose' search.
- Miss Deanna, please stay safe.
It's time for the fourth day of the trip, when the days are tilting.
For everyone, it was the longest night, the beginning.
