Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 422

422. Freedom Underpass (4)

Bruno Green.

He was confident that his ability to handle the situation was not that bad.

Although he retired due to an unfortunate accident, he was once the only commoner knight commander and had a record of tirelessly assisting the Emperor.

This time too, Bruno comforted the resident knights left in Regina with his gentle charisma.

“Why is everyone so upset?”

“Captain! No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. There’s no way a diligent person like our Majesty Mores would have left us to rest alone! “Maybe our presence was a big inconvenience to you while you were working?”

When Sir Claudia started crying, Director Bruno firmly shook his head.

“Didn’t you hear what His Majesty Mores said? “Didn’t you tell me to ask publicly about Giacomo Milo while touring Regina for a while?”

“But he must have already disappeared deep into the Dark Church. “No matter how much we search here, will anything change?”

“Lord Claudia. You didn’t ask me to find him. He just told me to inquire.”

Then the quick-witted Sir Kurt immediately understood the meaning of those words.

“ah! “While you are doing something behind the scenes, on the surface I am telling you to spread the word that we are diligently searching in Regina!”

“okay. That’s it. “It’s something that couldn’t be accomplished except by us, your close associates.”

Bruno also had to look after Edith, who had been showing too much attention to the carriage recently.

The prince’s maid, who had a somewhat blind side, kept her eyes wide open, ready to stay up all night, saying that today she would reveal the identity of the sound.

“Miss Edith. It’s late. “Stop watching the empty carriage, and now go to your room and get some rest.”

“But Captain Bruno. This is your name. “His Majesty Mores told me to go back and forth and keep an eye on the carriage.”

“But that doesn’t mean you should abandon all your work and just watch the carriage all day, right?”

Then the maid blinked her round eyes and looked up at the leader.

“But there is nothing else to do. “I don’t usually prepare meals, I don’t prepare refreshments, and the person I need to attend isn’t even here right now.”

… I had forgotten for a moment that this maid was, like herself, a great thief of my Majesty’s wages.

In the end, the leader sighed and handed her a blanket and some warm Melbourne tea.

“Then do whatever you want. Instead, why don’t you wear something like this so you don’t get cold?”

It was the same when 1st Prince Owen secretly left the dormitory.

“We’re in big trouble, Captain! “No matter how hard I search the lodgings, I can’t find Owen!”

Of course, the former Dekaron Knight realized this fact a long time ago, but instead of stopping the prince, he cracked down on the group to prevent further confusion.

“It’s okay, Sir Kurt. “Before you left last night, you told me your destination.”

This was information that was repeatedly confirmed through the thoughts of Rebekah, the leader of Arenja.

“Prince Owen is now with Prince Mores.”

And finally, Bruno had to try to ignore the familiar and nostalgic presence he sometimes felt in the carriage.

‘I want to take it out right now. however… … !’

It was truly pitiful to knock on the lid every chance he got, but Bruno was no longer allowed to have any contact with Seonghwang.

Even though he healed me with miraculous power, how could I so recklessly abandon the will of someone who is still careful not to make eye contact with me?

So he had a hard time suppressing the urge to open the box right away.

‘Keuheuk! All of this is my negligence. Please forgive me for my incompetence, Your Majesty!’

But even Bruno had no choice but to lose his composure when Sir Claudia made this report the next morning.

“Captain, we’re in big trouble! The imperial carriage has disappeared! I think Barshain, who was brought by Prince Owen, ran away with the carriage! Shall we pursue now?”

“… what?”

He must have been managing the carriage at the inn, but how on earth could he?

While Bruno was greatly embarrassed, Sir Kurt came running into the lodgings one after another.

“We must hurry, Captain. “The guards said he may have already left Regina.”

“No, why didn’t the guards stop it sooner…?” … ?”

“At first, I tried to stop them too. But he said he couldn’t communicate with Barshain at all. However, to stop it with force, Barshain’s power was too strong to be ignored… … !”

Moreover, the explanation was that since he was also a member of the prince’s party, he could not bear to use a strong hand.

Tiing-

Bruno stood up shakily, clutching his dizzy head.

“are you okay. I will go. It might not be too late. “Get ready to speak right now-”

But before he could finish his sentence, Sir Calmen came rushing in and shouted!

“We’re in big trouble, Master! Edith… … !”

“Why her again?”

“I guess he was sleeping in the carriage the whole time. “Many people witnessed a young maid being thrown violently from a runaway carriage!”

I fell from a carriage running at full power and was thrown defenseless on the street?

It was the worst. I should have stopped her a long time ago before her accident happened!

“So, how injured is Miss Edith now? “Is he alive?”

“But he looked fine. “In fact, I heard that he was so excited that he even ran after the carriage for a while.”

“… what?”

“And then I had an accident. Well, the story goes that he stole the horse from a passing mercenary, got on it, and disappeared along with the carriage! “Now that mercenary has come to the front of the dorm and is protesting fiercely!”

“… … !”

I felt dizzy. Where on earth should I start and how far should I use my hands?

Then suddenly, Bruno’s thoughts wandered to the precious luggage that was lying in the back of the carriage. His face turned pale in an instant.

“Your Majesty… … !”

* * *

Bartoza ran like crazy through the streets of Regina.

“Aaaah! Get out of the way! “Everyone get out of the way!”

“Ahh!”

“what? “I guess the coachman is crazy!”

“Avoid everyone!”

No one could stop the runaway carriage. Ironically, the thing he was driving was a carriage with the emblem of the majestic imperial palace engraved on it.

Thanks to this, the carriage, which was not stopped by anyone, was already crossing the outskirts of Regina and crossing the desolate plain.

‘Owen of Delcross eventually abandoned me! Now there is nowhere, nowhere in the world, for this Bartoza to entrust himself!’

Although he was sad and panicked, Bartoza instinctively drove the carriage northwest of Regina. This is because he decided that he should get as far away from the ecliptic as possible from the way he came.

And at that time, someone rode quickly after him.

“Hey, stop! “Quickly stop your carriage!”

Edith was suddenly thrown out of the carriage, but belatedly snatched the mercenary’s horse and chased after her.

Of course, Bartoza couldn’t understand what she was saying and fell into an even more panicked state.

“Whoa! Don’t come, woman! “Don’t come this way!”

“What on earth are you talking about? Anyway, stop now! “It contains a lot of your important items!”

“Ah, Owen! You who betrayed faith! Why did you abandon this Vartoza! “Owen!”

As the coachman loses his composure and swings the reins around, the horses pulling the carriage also fall into a state of panic and let out scream-like cries.

Heeheeheeheehee!

Meanwhile, the surrounding scenery was changing little by little. I thought I could see a sparse field of grass, and before I knew it, the carriage was entering a gentle mountain road.

It was at this point that the road started to slope and the speed of the carriage finally slowed down a bit.

Paaa-!

Edith jumped up from the galloping horse and barely succeeded in grabbing one corner of the carriage.

“Ugh! “Stop it quickly!”

Then, Bartozaga glanced back and was frightened when he saw Edith clinging to the carriage and making a fuss.

“Aaaah! Get away! Get away, woman!”

Rattle, rattle!

Due to his poor steering skills, the carriage cannot maintain its balance and sways precariously from side to side.

“profit!”

The long skirt hits the wind and creates strong resistance.

Edith, who had been hanging on with both hands for a while and gritting her teeth, managed to support herself by fastening one foot to the wall of the carriage. Her eyes, which were usually fierce, were now burning with strong fighting spirit.

‘He told me to keep an eye on the carriage! I’m already showing off because I’m not doing anything, so if I lose even this, what kind of respect will I have to look at you from now on?’

Of course, seeing her like that made Bartoza even more frightened.

‘That woman was definitely a warrior protecting the tribe leader’s second son! Like Alicia by Owen’s side, that woman must also be a seasoned warrior!’

If that’s the case, then they should be targeting my life for stealing my master’s belongings!

“Ugh! no!”

Bartosa was very nervous and put pressure on the reins-

Shake!

The carriage shakes violently, and Edith’s body floats into the air.

“Ugh!”

However, she did not let go of the carriage and slowly began to climb towards the roof of the carriage with her eyes burning.

“Aaaah! Don’t come! Do not come!”

However, despite Bartoza’s reckless driving, Edith moved patiently and finally reached the coachman’s seat.

Then, Bartóza let go of the reins and started swinging his ax at her indiscriminately.

Boom! humming!

“Go away!”

“When you say something nice, give me the reins right away!”

“Die!”

“profit! This bastard until the end… … !”

But just then, Edith’s eyes widened as she happened to spot something ahead.

… omg?

“Uh huh? Look ahead! “Look ahead!”

“Go away, woman! “I’m telling you not to come!”

“Hey! Cliff! There’s a cliff right in front of you! Take hold of the reins! hurry!”

“Aaaah! “Leave me alone!”

“hey! Now is the time… … !”

Despite Edith’s desperate efforts, the distant cliff quickly approached her eyes. By the time Bartozza realized the situation, it was already much too late.

Huh-!

The carriage shot into the air at incredible speed. Then, for an instant, it stopped as if it had lost gravity, and plummeted down the cliff.

“Aaaah!”

“Kwaaaaah!”

* * *

“… uh?”

Seongjin raised his head and looked at the distant southwest sky.

“what’s the matter? new… What? “For what?”

Owen must have sensed something unusual, and was persistently asking questions. Seongjin frowned for a moment and then slowly shook her head.

“no. nothing… … .”

Even Seongjin himself, who answered that way, wasn’t entirely sure.

what? Is it really nothing?

Why does my heart suddenly feel so pounding and my feet feel empty?

“… Lowering.”

At that moment, Masain opened his eyes and softly warned.

“There are people following us from earlier.”

“huh.”

Seongjin nodded, unfazed. In fact, this is because I sensed their presence much earlier than Masain.

As we got closer to our next destination, Verdron, the quiet surroundings began to gradually change. Half-destroyed houses and messily broken household appliances could be seen here and there, and before they knew it, they could sense the presence of several ‘Aurors hiding behind them’.

Judging from what Masain noticed later, they have quite good skills.

‘Dasha should follow us safely… … .’

After confirming that she was much further away than before, Seongjin reassured Masain.

“Don’t worry, Lord Masaine. “We just skip the middleman and get to the upper level managers a little faster.”

To some extent, Seongjin’s strategy may have worked.

A bit of clumsy makeup. A suspicious Barshaine who suddenly wants to take refuge in penance. And if you look closely, you will see that the Devil’s Lamp is nothing out of the ordinary.

Enough bait was thrown. If the Freedom Underpass is spreading its information network across most of the northern region as Belinda said, it will definitely respond to Seongjin’s moves in some way.

Of course, if I could pass without incident like other fanatics, that would have been fine.

-This delivery is a ‘special delivery’. Take over the luggage like this and transport it to Verdron.

Fortunately, they seemed to respond quite appropriately. The only thing that was a little surprising was that they reacted faster and more sensitively than Seongjin expected.

Who would have thought that they would rush to the core base in one day, barely passing through any stopovers.

“But everything has to be within the expected range.”

“… Is that so?”

“huh.”

How do you know that?

Masain didn’t ask that question. Instead, he corrected Misra and only sharpened his prayers.

However, when they arrived at the ruins of Verdron and the ‘special delivery’ was finally completed –

“Did you encounter any inconveniences on the way here?”

Even Seongjin couldn’t have predicted this. That a greater figure than expected would come out to greet them in person.

“It is truly an honor that a precious person personally uses the Jayu Underpass. “I am the general manager of this insignificant free underpass-”

The man who spoke up to that point looked at Seongjin with a strange smile on his face.

“No, would it be more appropriate to introduce our precious benefactor as the head of the [Blue Republican Revolutionary Front]?”
