I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

30 – The Brother and Sister’s Plot

“That… What do you mean? Irene?”

I didn’t understand what Irene was saying at all, so I asked back in the end,

She thought about something for a moment, then she mustered up the courage to open her mouth again.

“I can catch a thief by myself, but I think you don’t trust me.”

“Eh!? What do you mean… I can’t believe it. I just thought that since Irene is a woman, it was a little hard to spend her alone…”

“…..!?”

“Muh… Of course… I know she’s strong, but from her face, I can only see her as a beautiful lady… How could I let her go alone?”

“…….”

I thought Irene was misunderstanding something, so I said it to clear things up, but

Instead of answering, she used the backs of her cold hands to caress her cheeks to cool her red face.

“And.. I asked Irene to go with her because I had something to ask.”

“Are you going to ask?”

“Yes. You did that to me last time in the Fjord Empire. You’re telling me the name you didn’t tell me last time…”

“……”

“Have you ever met me before? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t remember meeting you when I moved to the warrior party…”

For some reason, I don’t know,

I had never heard her name until three years ago when I was active as a warrior.

If I had known that there were people as strong as Irene, we could fight together or meet in the social world at least once…

It’s only now that I think that I didn’t even know his name…

At that time, I was receiving all the information from the Eritre Empire’s intelligence department,

I wonder if I didn’t tell you the information about Irene so that I couldn’t chase away the princess Lydia or her saintess Emily Lee and save another party of warriors.

So,

Even if I didn’t like Lydia or Emilia, I wouldn’t have kicked her out unless there was a substitute for her…

If it’s the girls who took advantage of me, then they’re enough.

“That’s…”

I wonder if I even asked something stupid,

Irene didn’t come out with an answer with a blushing face,

It was when she was hesitating for such a long time.

Wheeying

As if the sylph Lucia had attached to us was giving us a signal, she blew on us to look at us and pointed her finger at a cave.

“Hero, it seems you have arrived at a cave where there are thieves?”

“Ugh… Yes..”

In the end, she couldn’t hear Irene’s answer, and as if she didn’t want to answer now, she pointed to the cave Sylph pointed at and turned her words away.

“Leave this to me.”

“Yes.”

He said he would help again…

There can be some misunderstanding…

“[Cold air]”

The misty cold air that flowed from Irene’s hand flowed into the cave as it was, and it froze as if white frost had settled wherever it passed…

After a while…

“Ugh~ It’s cold!”

“What kind of lightning is this all of a sudden? Ice in this weather!”

One by one, the thieves came out of the cave and started talking one by one, and everyone was shivering in the cold so much that they couldn’t even straighten their backs, probably because of the cold air that entered the cave.

Sureung!

As she watched the bandits fleeing out of the cave, Irene suddenly pulled her sword from her waist and she was slowly walking towards the entrance of the cave.

“What… What!!”

“It’s an intruder!!”

Puck!! Pat!! Swoop!!

The thieves, who became abusive with the appearance of Irene, tried to subdue them without using weapons.

With Irene’s kicks, fists and her sword swing, they were knocking them down one by one.

I don’t know if it’s my feeling,

Should I say that I am enjoying the situation?

It seems like a smile can be seen on Irene’s face as she passes by briefly.. It doesn’t seem like it…

The thieves, who had gathered more than expected due to the size of the cave, were caught by Irene before she knew it, and she was on her knees.

Irene was part of her, brushing her sword around their necks, giving her scares every once in a while.

“Four… Help me! We’ll give you anything you want! Please save your life!”

The leader of the thieves was begging for Irene’s life, rubbing her hands until they became her feet.

The rest of the thieves had to tremble in fear after seeing their boss do that.

“Where are the items taken from the refugees?”

“Everything ah… It’s inside!”

As usual, Irene didn’t seem to want to talk much, so I took her place and asked her boss,

Irene pointed her sword at her boss’s neck to reinforce my words.

“I…Really!!”

The leader of the thieves shouted as if he was innocent, and I gave Irene a look at her cave and noticed that she was coming and headed inside.

Inside the cave, there were not as many treasures as I thought, but there were all sorts of precious metals and gold coins in a large box.

In terms of quantity, it seemed that other people’s properties were included in addition to those refugees.

After checking the treasure chest, I went outside again and approached the leader of the bandits.

“Isn’t there more than a box inside? If you find it later, it could cost you your life.”

“Muh… Of course! We are all there right now!!”

I thought that Irene, who listened to the boss’s words together, nodded at me to say that there was no lie in his words…

Sure!! Swoop!!

“Ahhh!!!!!”

Suddenly, he began to cut down the kneeling thieves one by one, and even wiped out the fleeing thieves.

In an instant, the surroundings were stained with blood.

“Muh.. What are you doing!!”

“They are the ones who will harm others and steal their property if we keep them alive anyway.”

“…..”

I screamed out loud when I saw Irene killing the bandits, but

If you listen to her…

That was not wrong.

Even though strong men like Irene appear and beg for help, acting servilely,

If my party left this place, there was no doubt that we would go back to the shantytown to hurt and rob them.

“But from now on, talk and kill.”

“Yes. Sorry.”

Since Irene killed all the bandits, another problem arises…

“Haah … How do you move the box inside …”

My plan was to use the thieves’ labor to move that treasure chest to the shantytown…

With them now, there was only one person to move.

*****

The Eritre Empire, engulfed in chaos due to the battle with the demon king’s army, was watching a rare sight seen once in a lifetime with all the people of the ecliptic coming out of the wagon procession that came in one after another.

The carriages were painted with the coat of arms of the kingdom of Jeremiah, not the coat of arms of the empire…

A few days ago, the capital was captured by the demon king’s army, and the royal family and major nobles were immigrating to the ally Eritre Empire as soon as possible.

Of course, the army of the kingdom and the army of the empire are fighting desperately on the frontline pushed to the rear, but

It is only a matter of time when they will push into the Empire.

“Whoa.”

The carriage came to a complete stop, the door opened, and Crown Prince Chris, who had been waiting for those who rode in the carriage, greeted them.

“Brother!!”

Lydia got off the wagon, hugged her rather full stomach, and walked over to Chris.

“Lydia, you have had a hard time coming this long. Are there any uncomfortable places?”

“Yes. Brother, how are you today? Rumor has it that Edward is gathering power…”

Like Lydia said, Crown Prince Chris is in big trouble these days.

Edward, his second prince and half-brother, was expanding his power by attracting various nobles.

Now that his position was strong enough to be equal to some extent, it was becoming a big worry for Chris.

Along with him, the nobles’ insistence that Saint Emilia, the crown princess, be exiled and Chris should be removed from the crown prince was getting stronger.

This will be caused by the absence of the hero as the damage suffered by the demon army increases in the future.

The responsibility for that was all going to the crown prince and his wife.

“You said you went to Argen Kingdom to meet the hero, how did that go?”

“…..”

Lydia did not dare to tell Chris that she had fallen on her knees before her warrior and begged.

Chris had heard to some extent, so he knew what his brother was up to.

“This is all because of Emilia.”

“…..”

Lydia’s unexpected words…

Contrary to the expectations of Chris, who knew how to tell her about her work in the Kingdom of Argen, Lydia suddenly cursed Emilia, her own wife and her saintess..

“That b*tch is marrying a dragon, but this wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for some reason.”

“Why? Did the hero bring up such a story?”

“No. I didn’t take it out, but it seemed like it was still forcing us.”

“Are you in the middle of the day?”

“Looking at you still talking about things from 3 years ago… I don’t think I’ve forgotten. No, I won’t even try to forget.”

The more he listened to Lydia’s words, the more Chris became more and more anxious.

Because he knows better than anyone else that he was the one who provided the decisive culprit behind the incident three years ago.

“That’s why you can just use it moderately and then throw it away. Why did you even bring up the idea of getting married and let it grow like this!”

Right now, Lydia is putting all the responsibility on Emilia, but

Chris knew that his brother was also involved in the incident three years ago.

Not only

But also Iluen, who was a member of the same warrior party.

“Speaking of which, I have a plan…”

“Plan? What are your plans? Is there a way to get the hero to come to support?”

“Well.. You can do that too.”

“What is it? What? Brother, tell me too! I don’t want anything too big! Just help me get the palace back. Huh?”

When she said she had a good idea for Chris, Lydia approached him and begged him fervently, almost hanging on.

“Instead, you will have to help.”

“I’ll do it! I’ll help with anything! I want to let the child in my belly pass down the kingdom, even if it’s only half!”

Lydia was showing off to Chris, stroking her belly, just like she did to her champion.

Knowing that the life and death of her sister and her nephew were at stake, Chris decided to make this plan a success unconditionally.
