Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 23: The Journey Begins Again
huhh leanya, we finally managed to save princess Aurellia from the ambush of the monsters. I don't know what happens if we are late. ah, my back creeps like.
well most importantly princess Aurellia has survived.although there are some casualties, well I think it can't be helped.
I directly asked princess Aurellia to rest on her carriage while the others, including me, cleared up the remnants of the battle. Olivia I asked her to be a chatter buddy for the princess.she looked groggy.
fight Olivia!
we moved the bodies of the Knights who had died onto the three horse carts we had prepared. The senior adventurers, including the guild chief, dissected the orc corpses and managed to find their core stones.
in addition they also farmed from five steel tiger monsters. Their skin is elastic but very hard.it is suitable to be used as an armor.the price is also very expensive.
well I think this is their chance to enrich themselves even though they are already rich.
I decided not to take any rations from the corpses of those monsters. The rest I left to my team and the others.
I walked a bit into the forest.At first the adventurers wanted to accompany me to enter.but I convinced them not to follow me.
my purpose for entering the forest was to investigate further.Is there any liquid that lures the monster into the forest? apparently not.
I see, maybe that's the only reason why monsters can be lured out.
after about twenty minutes I finally came out of the forest. Olivia and Princess Aurellia were seen waiting for me with worry.well it's only natural because the forest on the continent of Lantos is notoriously dangerous.most of the forest has not been explored by humans.
finally princess Aurellia and Olivia got out of the carriage.they approached me. Especially Olivia who ran towards me and ended up hugging me. Of course there were a few tears out. I wiped her tears.
Princess Aurellia who saw this was of course confused, but she finally giggled and said, "Issac-sama, I'm sure that if your two brothers see this they will kill you."
I heard that smiling wryly. "well then princess, please take care of this from my two brothers. I can't imagine what happened to me if they find out."
old man Eddy, guild head Romeon and his other senior adventurers had already finished dissecting the monsters.They gathered the rest of the Monsters and finally set them on fire.
if the corpses of monsters were to be left alone, it would be a disease for others, so burning the corpses of monsters was one way of dealing with them.
"please apologize for the late welcome of the princess.I am Eddy, the guild leader of Romeon, and they are the senior adventurers of Romeon."
"raise your head, Mr. Eddy, we thank you and the other senior adventurers for helping us fight those monsters."
Eddy calmly smiled, "ah if that's the case, actually Mr. Issac was the one who took the initiative to create a team that will help the princess.we just follow him."
oi oi oi old man, aren't you supposed to take this opportunity for yourself? and don't take my name!
"you know the princess, once she heard that the movement of monsters in the former Sinovac region was not ordinary, she immediately took the initiative to form an expedition team and prepare the best horses to ensure your safety. his face was also very pale and satisfied at that moment.I think this is the first time the boy looks panicked."
oi oi old man, watch your mouth. I'm doing this because if anything happens to the princess in Randall's territory then we'll be in very serious trouble!
but somehow, I don't feel willing if there is a problem with Princess Aurellia. This feeling appears again.
but because the princess looks happy even though shy, so it's fine. Instead Olivia looks a little pout. hmmm, later I will treat you to eat sweets okay?
"Sir Issac, what if you come with us. The incident seems to make the knights mentally fall and the servants look frightened."
I nodded, "that's how my intention the princess is. From here on, we will accompany the princess to make sure the unwanted things don't happen."
the princess shook her head, "that's not what I mean, can you sit on the same train as me. To be honest I'm still a little scared of it."
hehh, it turns out that was his intention. Then why not? "certainly if it's the wish of the princess.but can I invite my servant to sit down together as well?"
I turned towards Olivia as well as the princess. then she nodded. "of course, there's no problem with that. Then, let's get ready."
we immediately got ready.the horse I was riding was led by one senior adventurer.ah Olivia rode on the same horse as me.
then the journey begins again!
