I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country

chapter 14



14 – Main character (3)

“Charles… No way!”

Leelfi raised his voice with a contemplative expression. She immediately stretched out and covered her outside.

The results were enough without being told. It was because Ir Elfi’s trembling hands gave it instead.

“Charles is missing. How could this be? Charles’ secret must have been covered up for a long time!”

“That’s what I’m curious about, damn it.”

A character named Charles Milotte was unknown even to me, an omniscient player.

‘Is that the case?’

I took pride in knowing everything about . Perhaps this thought itself was a huge delusion.

Looking back, this world was full of facts I didn’t know. The emperor’s special ability and the presence of a golden chain model at the main gate of the imperial palace were all elements that he had first known.

I didn’t even know that Irlfi had the sensibility of an ordinary woman.

‘I may know many things that the inhabitants of this world do not know, but I do not know what they take for granted.’

In the same context, it is not strange if someone digs up information that I did not know. For example, things like the secret of Charles’ birth.

‘In the original work, it would be a little later for Ir Elfi to become an annihilator. Is this an episode that can be resolved without my intervention? I don’t remember breaking the scenario of this work.’

The reason for aiming at Charles was obvious. She must have been trying to incite her empress through her. She must have planned to make the emperor betray Ir Elfi by making the empress appeal.

I realize something odd at that point.

‘Does it make sense? It’s a plan that’s only possible if you know in advance that Ir Elfi will destroy her empire.’

In other words, it is a plan that can only be done by those who perfectly know the value of Mirren Justiha as well as the inaction of Ir Elfi. I know the future as a player, but others don’t.

I decided to check her facts with Ir Elfi.

“Ir Elfi. How much does the empress care for Charles? From what I’ve seen, her mother-daughter relationship isn’t very good.”

“That’s…”

Irulp’s words didn’t follow. It was because the empress, with a desperate expression on her face, strode toward Irlp. The green eyes of the empress, like Charles, were vibrating greatly.

“Did you guys just say Charles?”

The empress asked in a cracked voice. The empress saw Ir Elfi’s embarrassed expression and started talking about her gibberish.

“There is no Charles? What do you mean, Marquis? Would you rather have that child remain in the banquet hall?”

“The Empress.”

I grabbed Ir Elfi and stopped the empress from approaching with her shaking momentum. The empress hesitated as if pushing me away and tried to move forward, but her divine strength was not enough to do so.

“Charles is the purpose, it can’t be that way. It can’t be that way! I’d rather take my life, but it’s not as good as Charles.”

“Calm down mama. Charles will still be alive.”

“How sure! I’m confident that if the boy ever goes wrong… He’ll face him…”

Then the emperor approached the appealing empress.

“Calm down, Empress!”

“You know! How did Charles…”

“I don’t know how. However, it’s not good for you to vent your feelings blindly. Marquis keep looking for a solution.”

The emperor embraced the empress in a tender embrace, then stepped away from her and comforted her. Ir Elfi looked at me as if she was tired. She seemed to be trying to hide it, but she seemed strangely irritated.

“As you can see. I don’t know about Charles, but the Empress cares for Charles. I can’t tell because the location is the location.”

“Looks like it. I’ll have to pursue it first. Couldn’t you break that barrier?”

I pointed at the red dome with my chin. I deliberately avoided mentioning that it was spirit blood. Ir Elfi hesitated a little, then shook her head.

“It’s easy to break. The problem is that the aftermath seriously injures those trapped. Some of my attacks will bounce back with counter-resilience.”

“That shouldn’t be the case.”

If it’s part of the attack from Illelpy, it’s a disaster for ordinary people. Among the people here, only me and the trained knights would survive.

“Even the department is a problem. I can’t keep up with the imperial staff.”

“Besides, there are no escorts, and all that is there is the enmity of Peita’s privates. I can’t believe it.”

“Yes. You’re completely stranded. The Red Dome will disappear with time, but Charles will be completely…”

IRLP’s expression was serious. A state of being stuck that I can’t do either. She is in a situation where, for her part, she has no options to choose from. Rather, if Feita’s enlisted men could see even a blade, the Illelpie could use that as an excuse to wipe them all out.

However, if the culprit’s only goal is truly Char, it is clear that no justification will be given. The Ir Elfie will be bound here until their purpose is fulfilled.

However, that was the circumstances of Irlp. Her choices have nothing to do with me. If what they were wary of was her single power called Ir Elphi, there are still substitutes left.

I opened my mouth as calmly as possible.

“Then I’ll come find you.”

“Neffi?”

“Why not?”

“Isn’t it okay? Yes, Nefi…”

“Because you’re under surveillance? Are you afraid that if you get out of sight, you’ll get into an accident that you can’t handle?”

“Honestly, yes.”

Ir Elfi said, hardening her expression.

It’s disappointing, but the answer was within the expected range. Given my notoriety, it was odd that trust was built in such a short period of time.

There is a gap that cannot be filled even if we talk casually and act together. My very existence was like that.

The atrocious past perpetrated by Netionpeace is not something time can forget. Even the emperor would believe in his feelings for him, not Netion Peace.

If I hadn’t been possessed, it would have been just a ploy to release the tiger to chase the wolf.

“I understand if you don’t trust me.”

I had to play with my mouth carefully.

It is not persuasive to say that the enemy’s true purpose is Mirren Justi. Rather, only questions about how I knew Mirren follow.

The worst thing is to believe it at all. I don’t know how Irlp, who has lost his reason, will search for the culprit. Her enormous power becomes justice only when reason is contained in it. When I thought of the future Ir Elfi who lost her justice, she gave me goosebumps.

‘I have to do it. There will be a way if I get out of my body somehow.’

I continue her words while clearly facing Ir Elfi’s blue eyes.

“I’m Elfi. I fully know how much you care about people’s peace. I’ve personally experienced your strength and personality for almost half a year. That’s why I understand your wariness toward me. Yes, even after counting everything, I ask you this. Do.”

“…”

I bowed politely. I could feel Ir Elfi’s bewildered gestures close by. I couldn’t see her face, only the well-mown grass swaying in the night breeze faced me.

Irelfi didn’t answer. No, it would be more correct to say that she could not answer. As an Illelpi, it would be a choice between whether or not to succumb to the devil’s whispers.

Still, the situation demanded urgency. It’s a situation where you can’t waste time forever. I risked pushing her decision.

“I’ll tell you for sure. I’ll find and save Charles. I swear nothing will happen to you to worry about in the process.”

“Neffi.”

I heard the anguished call of the Elf. Now I couldn’t say anything else. No amount of her ecstatic and proper rhetoric could charm her.

Therefore, I made a high-handed declaration while bending my lower back.

“Irelp. I will ignore all your opinions from now on and go to rescue Charles. If you believe me, just let me go. But if you don’t believe me… You can stop me yourself.”

“Neffi, what are you talking about!”

“That’s all I have to say. I’m leaving now. It’s dangerous to waste any more time.”

“Nefi!”

She cried out, but I ignored it and moved her feet. Without hesitation, I walked past IrLP’s back. The destination was the entrance to the banquet hall of Duke Peita’s residence.

Even so, I closed my eyes tightly. It wasn’t strange that the ELP’s sword attack behind my back took me by surprise.

A formless and insignificant trust built up in a short period of time. Notoriety handed down orally for hundreds of years. And an urgent situation that even a dog’s hand cannot resist.

It wasn’t strange no matter what Iru Elpi chose.

‘It reminds me of that time.’

I said in a private conversation with the emperor.

[If an event big enough to be seen as a turning point in fate happens, believe me then. In return, I will, without fail, give you a happy ending.]

It was a very confident declaration. An arrogant admonition that there is nothing I cannot do with my original knowledge and Netion Peace’s body. If I knew I would feel my limits so quickly, I wouldn’t have done it.

‘I should have told Ir Elfi instead.’

It would have been dismissed as nonsense that didn’t even deserve to be heard.

When she had stopped all her pathetic feelings for a while, she heard a metallic sound that was imprinted in her brain.

Seureung-

It was the familiar sound of Ir Elfi’s white silver sword emerging from her scabbard. But I didn’t look back, and I didn’t stop walking. Even though she feels pain in her left limbs and lower back, she inevitably endures it.

I let go of everything and moved forward, hoping only for the hands of Irelpi.

‘Whew.’

Did my prayer work? Until I completely entered the banquet hall, Ir Elfi didn’t do anything.

The emergency of Charles’ kidnapping seemed to tip the balance between trust and notoriety. If I miss this opportunity granted by Ir Elfi, I will not be able to lift her face for the rest of my life.

I immediately started tracking.

“I can’t believe I’ll be using it already…”

The encounter with Netion Peace, which took place in the world of images, was like a sweet rain for me. I hate to admit it, but he was so much better than I was and he knew a lot.

Netionpeace gave me a piece of knowledge before parting ways. Thanks to that, I experienced unprecedented pain, but there was a huge income.

One of them was how to use the body.

“Activate the senses.”

Netionpeace’s senses are already in the realm of the outside world. In addition, if you stimulate the body organs to activate their functions, you can temporarily obtain several times the performance.

It was one of the uses of the body that Netion Peace implanted in his brain.

Right now, I could feel everything from the shaking of a blade of grass to the movement of insects.

‘Underground turmoil is subtle. After all, there’s no way I could have escaped the Red Dome in that short amount of time.’

Even if a red dome surrounded the duke’s residence, its roots could not extend deep underground. That’s why I felt a presence when I returned to the banquet hall.

You can feel it very well even if you lightly put it on your fingertips. Three or four assailants move busily along with Charles’ terrified moans. It must have been the secret passage to Peita Mansion.

“Duke of Trope Peita. Expect an explanation later!”

I gnashed my teeth and headed towards the back of the duke’s residence.

It was impossible to penetrate the secret passage of the duke’s house no matter how supersensible one was. So I took the straight route without any complications.

“Huu, is the bottom empty at this point?”

I confirmed it by tapping the ground. Charles was quite far away from where I am now.

If I am in the north of the duke’s residence, Charles’s place is closer to the west. I moved like that on purpose. Because Charles shouldn’t be caught up in my actions.

I wielded the formidable physical strength that made the Great Cavity vibrate without regret.

“Haap!”

With the sound of spirit, step on the advance with all your might. The ground sank into a hollow with a huge roar. As if the aftermath of the advance was great, people’s screams came from the opposite direction. It was the place where the Irelpi was located.

I didn’t care about people’s agitation.

Because there is an Irlp. If she is there, she will be easily resolved whether the demon king appears or whatever comes. This was the petty trust I had in the Irlp that I had built up from my previous life.

“One more time!”

Wow!

In the center of the hollow, I stepped on the advance again. This time, I felt the floor collapsing with a louder sound than the first attempt.

I fell deep underground with a strange feeling of floating. It wasn’t that his motor nerves were raised just because he handled his body a little, so he looked unsightly and couldn’t even land properly.

I fell to my knees and groaned loudly.

“Stop it! Go, block the senses, block the senses!”

I fell into a pile of stones with a delicate sense of touch that even detects the vibrations of the deep underground, and the pain I felt was indescribable.

“Hey… Ha… I don’t have enough experience.”

When the senses were blocked, not only the pain sensation but also the feeling of touching something disappeared. I had to spend some time fine-tuning the sensory levels.

“I’ll pay for the hard work. Damn things.”

While swearing, I headed to the place where I could feel Charles’ presence.
