“Haaah…”
At the moment Isolda was waiting for Bahamut in the royal castle. Even though it was just a simple matter, there was an unusual tension in her mind.
‘Goodness…I never thought that the day would come when I would have to participate in an act like this…’
Isolda smiled bitterly as she looked back at the ridiculous things she had done so far.
Perhaps there was a possibility that this attempt would end in utter failure as well, but even so, Isolda was honestly feeling a bit expectant.
‘It would be fine…if I can get into a small corner of his heart…even just a little bit…’
While hoping that Yuria’s plan would go well, Isolda began to feel a bit nervous.
And a moment later, the figure of Bahamut finally began to appear in her sight.
Even inside the relatively safe castle, he was not alone. He was accompanied by Ophelia, who was his trusted escort. However, even that part had already been calculated in Yuria’s plan.
‘Really, the more I look at him, the more he reminds me of someone…well, maybe that’s why I fell for him…’
With a wry smile, Isolda spoke to Bahamut in a calm tone as usual, “You are here? Then let us depart.”
“Uh…okay.”
Bahamut seemed to be a little uncomfortable with her presence.
The way he acted hurt Isolda’s heart, but she didn’t let it show on her face.
And so, the three of them left the castle as planned.
At that instant…somewhere out of sight, there was a pair of eyes watching the three people very closely.
“They are moving as planned. Follow the plan.”
“All right.”
As soon as the words ended, those who moved in the shadows began to act. Covering their faces with masks or cloths, they quickly crossed the building and surrounded Bahamut’s party from all sides.
And…
***
“Hhmmph!”
“Yes? What’s wrong Ophelia?”
Ophelia suddenly pulled out her greatsword while passing by a street corner.
Looking at her demeanor, Bahamut’s expression turned serious, and at the same time, Isolda gulped nervously.
“What…what is it?”
“….”
The next moment, a number of people suddenly appeared and surrounded them. They were all hiding their identities with masks while holding daggers in their hands.
Looking at the assailants, Ophelia straightened her sword and said, “I will take care of them. Master, please evacuate to a safe place for now.”
Ophelia quickly analyzed the situation and made the best decision while looking at the mana emanating from the opponent’s dagger.
In response, Bahamut nodded and returned to the direction of the castle with Isolda.
Since the distance from this place to the castle was not that far, he judged that it would be more safe to head there.
After sending Bahamut and Isolda away, Ophelia faced the enemies who seemed to be assassins by herself. The street corner was not very wide, so it wasn’t suited for a prolonged defensive battle.
‘Once I buy them enough time, there shouldn’t be any big problems. But these guys are quite bold to attack in broad daylight like this…’
According to Bahamut’s words, those in front of her were most likely assassins sent by the nobles and the Sakiel Knights who were not happy with his actions.
‘No matter who sent them…if I catch one and tear apart their l1mbs, I’ll be able to know the truth.’
Ophelia waited for the opponents to attack with such thoughts.
“…uh?”
The next moment, the assassins who had gathered the mana condensation on their daggers suddenly ran away.
Ophelia was dazed for a moment at the sight of them disappearing as if someone had flipped a switch.
“What…what! Why…?”
It was an incomprehensible situation where the enemies, who were obviously ready to attack while releasing their mana, suddenly disappeared.
It was as if the opponents had given up on the attack after recognizing that Ophelia was a formidable enemy.
However, there was another possibility…
“Eh…no way…it can’t be…”
And the next moment, a thought passed through Ophelia’s mind, as fear began to settle on her face.
“Ah…no…Master Bahamut!”
