The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (Hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

I want to hear what Oliver has to say, but I need to follow Raul now.I'm sure Harriet is where he's headed.

Dear Oliver, will you keep this a secret from Lord Arnold?

In response to Leechee's wish, a squire, he shows puzzlement.

"... if it should be the case, I need to report it to you quickly..."

“I know. However, it would be easier for Lord Arnold to ignore Fabrania's unreasonable demands if he didn't know that Harriet had been kidnapped."

Of course, Galkhain won't give in to Fabrania's demand for compensation for Harriet's kidnapping.

However, it is better to have more reassuring ingredients.

Fabrania wants to attack Galkhain, whether she wants to send money to him or kill Harriet.

"I was the only one who knew about this, and I didn't tell His Highness Arnold anything.― ― With that script, even if it turns out to be an inconvenience to Galkhain, it will be enough if you cut me off.

"...... Leechee-sama......"

I'm sure Oliver will understand.

Believing that, Oliver looked straight at him and bowed down.

Before the Knights find him, I'll arrange transportation for you.

"... thank you!"

I'm sure Oliver will move quickly after he leaves the room.

I felt grateful and gently apologized to Arnold in my heart.

(Sorry for borrowing your squire after acting on your own....)

With a small exhale, Leechee looked around the room.

This is Raul's room, and I know his personality.I turned to the fireplace, which I didn't use in the summer, and looked up into the chimney from below.

(― ― I knew it.)

And there was concealed a bow with no strings.

I quickly wiped some soot, bent the bow, and strung the string.The arrowhead is similarly hidden, and there are plenty of arrows in it.

Having secured the bow and arrow, Leechee then went back to the fourth floor of her room and opened the trunk she had left in the bedroom.

Pull the robe out of there and weave it from the top of the dress.After that, I took the black sword that was hanging on me.

This is the sword I borrowed from Arnold the day before yesterday.

It was used by Arnold a few years ago, and I heard that it was left as a spare when I switched to the current sword.

Made to suit a man's height and armpit, it's still heavy for Leeche to handle.

Still, the sword belt I used the day before yesterday was worn, and a sword and a quiver were placed there.

Since only the bow cannot be hidden in the robe, I keep it in my left hand and go downstairs.

Just then, Oliver seemed to be ready, and a voice was heard from downstairs.

"The smoke of discovery has risen.Now that you have your horse ready, please come this way. "

Yes, Master Oliver!

Knights of guards in the castle look at Leechee with a bow in her hand.

Rendezvous with Oliver and head for the back entrance, not the entrance.

“Look at the sky to the east.It's a blue wolf smoke rising from the edge of the city. ”

"Thank you. I didn't expect to find you so soon..."

As she ran toward the stables, Leechee looked up at the pale blue sky.

Perhaps thanks to the accuracy of Oliver's instructions and the Knights' siege.

However, I felt a slight catch in it, and I bowed down slightly.

(Raul's purpose, after all......)

Oliver's voice could be heard on Leechee's back as she tried to run straight.

Leechee-sama, prepare the horses for the stables on your right!

"Eh!? But it's definitely for the royal family--"

Looking at Oliver's right hand, Leechee suddenly stopped.

Isn't there a beautiful horse that shines pale gold, and a man that draws his reins?

"Ah, Lord Arnold...!!"

…………

Arnold looked at Leechee, his eyebrows froze.

"... what the hell are you doing?"

"Your Highness, why are you here..."

I told Oliver to shut up.

But when I look back in a hurry, the silver-haired squire smiles at me.

Seeing that, Leechee understood everything.

Certainly, Oliver didn't say anything to Leechee that he wanted Arnold to keep quiet.

("I'm sorry I borrowed your servant" was so annoying...!)

Oliver didn't listen to Leechee, he was acting under Arnold's orders.

"After the sermon, get in quickly.You're going after that guy, aren't you? "

"... Your Highness Arnold. With your help, it will be decided that this is a matter for our country."

Then, the words are returned as if they were natural.

“At the time my wife got involved, she couldn't possibly be seen right now.”

"...... ah"

After all, Arnold knows what's going on.

If this happens, there is no point in asking questions, and time cannot be consumed here.

Leechee gave up and used her stepping stone to reach the delicately decorated saddle.

When Arnold rides his horse, he takes the reins from behind Leechee.It became a similar posture to being embraced, and it became an unexpected proximity.

While not being aware of it, I grabbed the handle of the saddle.

When Arnold grabbed the reins, he sent a gaze of some will to his followers.

"Oliver."

"Yes, please go."... even Leechee-sama "

I tried to thank Oliver, but the horses with the Leeches on them began to move on Arnold's signal.

It must be a smart, well-trained horse.It will gently increase the speed of the vehicle so that it does not overburden us.

Leaving the castle, leaning toward the green hills, Richet opened her mouth softly.

"... I'm sorry I can't protect you, Harriet."

……

For example, if you had noticed Harriet's conflict last night,

That would not have put Harriet at risk, nor would it have blamed Galkhain.

(Harriet-sama must be scared too...)

Even if I was able to save him without getting hurt, I'd be dead by the time I was captured.

Behind the leeches, Arnold said:

"Your duty is not to protect Princess Sigwell."

If you just listen to it, it's a word that's going to stick out somewhere.

But I knew it was different.Arnold spins like a leechee.

"Tell me where you stand in this country."

"...... His Highness Arnold's fiancée."

Yeah, and in about a month or so, you'll be the Crown Princess.

Large hands continue to speak as they hold the reins so as not to get in the way of the horse.

"--All you can do is to protect the princess from danger with your own sword?"

……

In response, Leechee rolled her eyes.

If Leechee had been Harriet's knight, all she could have done was protect her.

But that's not the case.

As Arnold told me, there may be times when you can help Harriet with more than just a sword.

Realizing that, Leechee looked back at Arnold's blue eyes.

And I put it clearly in my mouth.

"... no"

"You just have to know."

With a soft affirmation, Leeche wore a robe hood.

To get from here to where the smoke is, we need to get through the harbor towns.

Coral hair is prominent, so I want to keep it hidden in the hood.Tie the ribbon under your chin so that it doesn't come off with the wind.

And there were other concerns along the way.

"Lord Arnold, they may be setting a trap on the road as a precaution against pursuit."

"Now, avoid the shortest distance."... do you have any idea of the enemy's weaponry? "

It's a bow and arrow. In order to weigh in, you may have some numbing medicine or something on your armpits.

Richet said, adding that he had found a bow and arrow in Raul's room.

“The person who was Lord Curtis' 'Shadow' gave me some information.His common name is Raul, and he has several men. ”

In fact, it is one of the few things taught by Raul of this world.

But if you talk like this, you'll have less doubts about what Leechee knows too much.

So yesterday, when Arnold discovered that he was aware of Raul, he named him after him.

"On your instructions, the knights heard that 'I took off my jacket and went out to the city'.It's a measure to prevent the Archers from becoming irresponsible. "

"Yes, but we must have been there from the moment we left the castle."

The hunters look into the monoculars and are sure to observe us.If we keep them in range, the arrows will fly right in.

But Arnold spoke plainly.

When the arrow comes, you can just knock it down with your sword.

(... I'll tell you it's nothing to do...)

Nevertheless, Leechee knows.

Arnold actually dropped all his arrows with his sword during the recent commotion at the Great Temple.

The port city of Vinreese was already approaching the present.

Leechee and Arnold react simultaneously when the speed of the horse is slowed down as they enter the alley.

- Your Highness!

Yeah.

With the reins in his left hand, Arnold pulled out his sword.

There was a sudden dry sound, and the arrows in the air broke in two.

Soon afterwards, Arnold slashed the other one, without hesitation.

Not only was there no waste, but it was also an incredible sword speed.

(Really, what a way...!)

But I noticed it in a few seconds.

Arnold tries to wield his sword while sheltering Leechee.

Not only from the arrows, but also from the leeches on horseback.

(His Highness Arnold was perfect, but all the hunters were amazing.As it is, I will definitely use my luggage to destroy your highness....)

Leechee took a short breath and looked back at Arnold.

"Your Highness Arnold"

As I lowered the bow that was hanging on my shoulder, I begged him.

”Could you please gyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

…………… what about you?

Arnold's eyebrows were pulled up, but Leechee didn't care.

Then, he stroked the neck of the horse with beautiful golden fur and asked for it in his ear.

"I'm sorry, your Highness' horse."It's a strange way to ride, but I'll make sure you don't get in the way of running as much as I can, so just forgive me a little bit. "

"Hey, Leeche. What are you doing..."

Leechee put one hand on the saddle of the horse, and as she levitated her hips, she put one knee on the saddle.

Naturally, because of the unstable posture, your body is wobbly and shaky.Arnold turned his arm around and stopped Leechee from hugging me.

"Ah, what are you doing...!"

Your Highness, more.

Standing on her knees on the saddle, looking toward Arnold behind her, Leechee grabbed the arrow from the quiver.

"Squeeze it even harder."...... Attach my body to your Highness. "

――……

Arnold sighs deeply at what Leechee is about to do.

After that, he gave me a strong hug on Leechee's waist.

On horseback, facing and embraced by Arnold, Richet's trunk stabilized considerably.

On the roof where the arrows were flying, Leechee stood aimlessly.

Please keep running at your current pace.

"... I know"

Where the huntsmen are likely to hide, you can read it as soon as you know the direction.

The murderous aura over there has been amplified.Meditate on one eye, hold your breath, and squeeze the string tightly.

The next moment, Leechee turned to the rooftop of the building and shot an arrow straight.

"I......"

A short scream was heard from above, and the area quickly calmed down.

Arnold must have noticed that the crushing murderous aura had disappeared.

Did you hit it?

It's a low-intensity arrow, so it's probably not dead.

The hunters are all wearing armor where they can be strenuous.This arrow is small and will not penetrate the leather of the armor.

The silence of the targeted hunter was probably caused by the numbing medicine.

"I will use my bow and arrow to eliminate enemies in the distance."Your Highness..... "

Breathe in the murderous aura that has been sent flying.

At the same time, Arnold turned the sword over.

The blade swept through Leeche's current state and dropped a rigid arrow.The arrows that would have targeted Leechee fell scattered on the cobblestone.

"You don't have to think about the arrows coming here."Stay focused on your hands. "

"Thank you, thank you...!"

On an unstable horse, holding Leechee in one hand, Arnold's sword did not sway.Perhaps you're used to fighting on horseback.

In addition to the accurate reins, this horse also draws on the will of his master.With that sense of stability in mind, Leechee drew the next arrow.

Arnold grabbed his sword, and Leechee grabbed her bow and rushed through the port city of Vinlis.

"In the rear and west, we dropped the enemy archers."Next, we will seal the two names in the east! "

"All right.... three minutes and ten seconds later, we're going into the back alley."We have two minutes to slow down. "

"Now, Your Highness, watch out for the sea side past the alley."Perhaps they will use the reflection of the sea surface! "

Perform each role while throwing reports and instructions at each other.

Arnold dropped his arrows and Leechee approached the smoke as she shot at the enemy.

Your Highness, can you turn around to the right hand side of the building?

"No problem. Upwards."

"Leave it to me. Keep the speed as high as you can!"

Arnold did exactly what Leechee wanted him to do.

In the same way, Leechee steered the bow as Arnold wanted.

(Wow... it's like we can read each other's minds)

Unconsciously thinking about it, Leechee looked down unconsciously.

Arnold, who supports Leechee, notices it and looks up at her.

Then he asked with a slightly mischievous smile and a challenging voice.

― ― What do you want to do this time?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A kind of exhilaration rushes up his back as he groans.

If Arnold fought with me, I'd be able to do anything.Leechee managed to calm down, shaking off a dangerous feeling on the battlefield.

"... the church with its sooty smoke is only a short distance away, but the shortest distance is still dangerous.It's going to be a bit of a detour, but it's going to be a very promising path. "

"All right, but the church doors will be hardened."

The same view was shared by Leechee.Breaking through from the front should take quite some time.

When you arrive, we'll enter through a route other than the main entrance.

"... other than the front?"

Arnold repeated it oddly, but Leechee concentrated on shooting the arrow.

(We must definitely help Mr. Harriet.... and Raul's thoughts...)
