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

After cleaning up the kitchen, Leechee left the palace with Arnold as she walked along the walls of the Imperial Castle.

Since it is intentionally off the corridor and moving among the trees, it can be heard separating the wild weeds from the wrinkles from the foot.

Because the moon is half moon, we can't rely on the darkness, and each of the leeches had a lantern.

"Once, I was taught by someone. To see the rock of defense, we need to look at the intruder.

Leechee tells Arnold as he walks next door.

It was Raul, the head of the hunter's life, who told Leeche that.

Of course, this Imperial Castle has been built to intercept the enemy invaders, right?

A castle is a fortress.

Arnold's lantern, which he had returned, was shining more at Leeche's feet than at his own.

(Besides, you're walking even more slowly than usual, Lord Arnold.)

I feel uncomfortable with gentlemanly behavior.

Leechee continued to take care of Arnold while trying not to get upset.

"Hmm.... but the priority is only to defend against heavily armed enemy soldiers." On the other hand, the spies sneak in with casual gear. His Highness Arnold was also jeopardizing the path that the kitten had entered yesterday..... "

Leaving the lights at his feet to Arnold, Leechee lifted her own lantern.

On the left, the strict walls of the Imperial Castle of Galkhain stretched. As Leechee moved the lantern, the shadows of the trees moved in the same way.

"I was going to look around the walls in the eyes of the agents." During the day today, I went round and round. ”

"... you?"

"In the books I've read before, there are defense guides."

Leechee laughs and misleads.

Of course, it's a lie, in fact, it's the knowledge of the hunter's life, but Arnold no longer pursues meticulously. He laughed funny and just said it like this.

As usual, I don't know the bottom line of my knowledge.

(Your Highness Arnold is getting used to me a lot too...!)

Or have you been swimming? But even if Leechee never talks about the source of her knowledge, Arnold probably already knows.

Of course, my amateur knowledge is not enough, so I was wondering if you could check with Raul at a later date.

"... ahh. Did you make contact with that man after all?"

“Yes, I was so surprised by the sudden appearance from behind.”

Leechee pointed her lip a bit. Arnold puts his eyes down and makes a smile.

If you can't see the signs, that man will use them accordingly.

"I, you've bought me so much..."

In the first place, it was Raul who taught Leechee how to erase signs and read them.

Although he didn't say it, Leechee explained it to Arnold.

"The Imperial Castle of Galkhain seemed to be quite well prepared for intelligence agents as well. Some of the walls I used when I broke out of the castle were slightly lower than others. However, it was only because I came out of the inside that I was able to leave a path that came in from the outside."

At that time, Leechee roped the branches close to the castle wall and went out. And I also used that rope to get inside.

Even with the secret technology of a hunter's life, it wouldn't have been easy if the first intrusion had been from the outside.

"Sturdy earth walls and stone materials are used for the walls. The more robust it is, the easier it will be to climb it with tools such as hardware, but the outside of the castle is a rat castle.”

"In addition, the material of the castle wall should be double-structured." It is painted and solidified with brittle, collapsible soil walls to cover sturdy stone walls that are resistant to blows, etc. "

"Yes. As an intelligence agent, I hate it very much..."

Leechee unexpectedly looked serious and wondered how she would break into the castle. After all, in the life of a hunter, that Raul didn't choose to infiltrate Galkhain.

But once you look away from the walls, there's a lot of gaps in this castle as well.

When Leechee laughed mischievously, Arnold agreed.

”-Yeah, you're the only one who moves freely around here every day.”

"Ugh.... yes, that's right." For example, it's that barracks over there, but if you climb up using the rain basket, you can easily reach the top floor..... "

Leechee walks along and uses a lantern to illuminate the building on her right.

"Here, Your Highness, take a look." If you climb to the roof of the third training ground and storage shed over there, you can get down to the wall of the training area. "

……

"What do you say? I walked carefully on the ridge so as not to fall..."

"... I see. How can we get to the second floor of the adjacent Captain's Barracks?"

"That's right, that's right!" As expected of you, Lord Arnold! "

Leechee glistened and sent a gesture of respect to Arnold.

I don't think I've ever turned my attention to this banditly intrusion path since I was born, but I can quickly grasp it with just a few explanations.

"The castle is always well cleaned, but the fallen leaves are clean." It's only natural songs that make it easier for intruders to stand out. ”

Well then, what if I want to break into such a place with the opposite view?

"Choose rainfall when the leaves are wet, or rainy weather when there are few people and the sound of rain is full in the first place." Or maybe it's time to get wet in the morning dew. "

Leechee walks with Arnold as she talks about it.

It's a very calm night with the sound of bugs echoing and the wind blowing. Compared to the heat during the day, the air is cool and pleasant.

"And Your Highness Arnold, for the sake of the walls..."

……

At the place where he had finally arrived, Arnold raised his eyebrows slightly.

"... this is..."

“The garden trees are rough around here compared to anywhere else.”

It was the northernmost part of the Imperial Castle.

Located in the northwest of the Imperial Castle, the main castle has an aerial corridor stretching from the high floor in all directions.

One of them followed this tower in the north. And Leechee points to the tree standing at the back of the tower.

"The tree over there has a lot of branches, right?" The same goes for the trees growing outside the castle. ”

I see.

Arnold saw it and sighed a small sigh.

"There are branches of trees stretching out on each side. Humans are so thin that they can't ride on them, but only one cat jumps easily."

"Yes, the kitty I saw yesterday must have come in from here."

Judging by the fineness of the branches and the type of trees, it would be less than a kilometer to be supported by those branches. Even a child can break a human, but a kitten of that size is enough.

“As far as I can see, there's no other way in. However, there are other parts around here where the earthen walls of the castle walls are about to peel off....."

"Leeche"

Arnold, with his face slightly covered, called Leechee's name to block.

"This place is a little bad."

……

Leechee repeated the blink.

It's unusual for Arnold to say this.

It's an abstract, unambiguous choice of words to warn you about.

(It's weird, but...)

That's why Leechee seized the situation.

“Okay, then we should get out of here right away.”

"No, let's go slowly and naturally." Rather, you shouldn't act suspiciously. ”

"Are you suspicious? Who is that to..."

…………

Arnold showed a slight gesture of sarcasm.

Still, if he tries to talk about someone, it's that moment.

"---...!?"

A terrible chill ran down Leeche's back.

It's an intensely contradictory sensation, like your whole body is tense, and you can't help but run away. Even though my fingertips were cold in an instant, my whole body was so hot that my blood was about to boil.

I noticed the air corridor connecting the main castle to the tower.

(Is there someone over there?)

Arnold mouthed it after he tongued it.

"... damn it. Why are you here, anyway..."

(No way)

Leechee's mind is nothing short of such a fear.

(─ ─ Lord Arnold will be killed...!!)

Reflexively, he reached towards Arnold.

"Leeche...!"

Leechee tried to grab it with the sword that Arnold was holding.

But the hand was grasped by Arnold, who could not do otherwise, and pressed against the tree behind him.

……

He grabbed his wrist and sucked up Arnold's impatience opposite him.

(No, I did what I shouldn't do...!! Even though it's a centipede, you're going to pull your sword towards [that]......)

Tie the lips.

The experience gained in the life of a hunter and in the life of a knight was completely lost. I wanted to apologize to Arnold, but I can't move on my own right now.

(Such murderous intent. Even though you're just looking down from a distance, you feel so intimidated......)

The figure stands about half a moon in the corridor.

However, the instinct warned me not to look over there.

(...... That's Lord Arnold's father...!)

The current emperor of Galkhain and the man Arnold hated the most.

Leechee certainly knew what the person was saying. That is the same murderous intent that the future Emperor, Arnold Hein, had in his knight's life.

"... breathe, Leechee."

"...... ah"

That's what I was told, and I learned that I was holding my breath unconsciously.

Arnold pushed Leechee against the tree and whispered as he turned his back on his father. The two canteras that had been dropped were wobbling at their feet.

"... I'm sorry to make you in such a strange position." But I want to avoid being suspicious of that man. "

(... because I tried to pull out Lord Arnold's sword...)

If Leechee were to draw her sword there, it would be odd if she were to be held harmful to the Emperor.

In that case, even the Crown Princess would be found guilty of death.

Not to mention Leechee, who is still in her fiancee's shoes.

But this is how Arnold defended me.

"From now on, I will take actions that make that man think that we [simply came here to avoid people's eyes]." Do you mind? "

"Ah, yes..."

…………

Leechee's voice trembled, and Arnold's face grimaced somewhat painfully.

Then he apologizes in a small voice.

"Forgive me.... I'll just touch it a little less than you want."

……

Leechee's wrist was freed.

Instead, they grip each other's fingers entangled. Arnold gently ties his hand to Leechee, as if he were touching something very important.

With that, I stroked Leeche's head with my other hand.

Thinking of it, Arnold bent over and dropped his mouth on Leeche's forehead.

"Nh...!"

Nervousness and a slight tickle unexpectedly make a strange voice.

Arnold repeatedly kissed his forehead as he stroked his hair to forgive Leechee.

"Ah, Lord Arnold..."

…………

From time to time, there is a slight noise.

Arnold's touch was soft and spoiled.

(~ ~ ~ ~......)

Even though that shouldn't be the case, embarrassment mixed up in the fear, and I held Arnold's hand back in a sad feeling.

Then, the unconnected hand grips his shirt's chest.

Arnold then hugged Leechee's back head as if to calm a scared child.

This time, they kissed me around the nails.
