Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With

80. Organizing the family (5)

A shaman whose one arm was blown off.

I thought I would definitely be distraught because I lost my body.

However, the guy was mesmerized by a sight that was even more amazing than his lost arm.

A young leopard known as royalty and the leader of the East.

Because the princess, who looked down on any man, was standing close to a knight.

“You can stop pretending to be your lover now.”

I looked down at Lydia, who was so close that her shoulders were rubbing against each other.

But, she smiled and looked up at me proudly.

“What does that mean? Even if it is not Hakim, the fact that this body came out is a secret to the people.”

The princess smiled and answered.

Now that things have come to this, he seems to be making fun of me by behaving in a way that is burdensome to me.

“It will be more dangerous when we go to Hakim’s hideout.”

I looked towards the shaman and said.

The quick-witted guy quickly approached me.

And he handed over a map that was only exchanged between Hakim’s subordinates.

“That… “This is the hiding place of His Highness the Prince I mentioned.”

I quietly left the princess’s side.

Then, I looked at the map and looked at its nest.

“Look at this…. “There’s a reason why it’s so hard to find even if you search the whole city like crazy.”

Lydia approached me, slightly lifting her robe.

She then looked at the picture of the tunnel written on the map and frowned.

“This is an abandoned mine from the early days of Dongbu construction. I never thought we would expand this place and create a city….”

The total number of people is about 100.

Among them, there are 20 elite knights guarding Hakim.

They are all said to be at the level of a vanguard leader, so they must have been at the Tau level before learning from me.

‘Well, I can completely defeat that level at my current level.’

The problem is that the former Eastern Knight Commander is among them.

30 Years ago, a man who came from the eastern Samad Empire and helped the emperor.

I heard that the number of enemy soldiers who died at his hands was hundreds.

In my past life, Lydia’s army defeated him after a hard fight, so I never had to meet him in person.

However, in this life, I have to deal with it alone.

“Her Highness the Princess.”

“Speak.”

“I will go to this underground city alone.”

Hearing those words, the princess and the shaman simultaneously raised their heads.

They looked up at me with puzzled expressions.

“What do you mean? Of course I have to fight with my knights!”

I shook my head.

He then pointed to the narrow underground entrance written on the map.

“No, if we attack the entrance with a large army right now, there will be heavy casualties in the narrow passage.”

This cave is a strategic point.

It is a very suitable terrain for fighting large numbers with a small number of soldiers.

“So, it is much more efficient to go in alone and cut off the enemy’s head.”

“No matter how strong you are, did you think that would be possible? Inside are Hakim’s elite soldiers….”

The princess tried to persuade me with worried eyes.

However, I looked at her and responded with her soft smile.

“Don’t worry. “I am stronger.”

The moment I heard those words.

Lydia looked up at me blankly, speechless.

“Your confidence is comparable to that of my father.”

The princess smiled and raised the corner of her mouth, feeling relieved for some reason.

“Okay, let’s do this instead.”

The princess put her hand into her own bosom.

She then took out her red ruby necklace that she had kept in her chest.

“This is my wife’s heirloom. “It has a special energy, so my shamans can track its location.”

The princess pressed her face towards me so that I could feel her breath.

And then….

“I’ll lend it to you, so wear it well. “If you are in danger, my knights will come to help you right away.”

He hung it around my neck.

I looked down at the ruby hanging around my neck.

Similar color to Lydia’s eyes.

She responded by raising the corners of her mouth.

“Okay, thank you very much for your concern.”

“What about nerves? “This is all just part of the strategy.”

The princess turned her head.

Then, she walked away and wrote a note to send to Jeon Seo-gu.

“There are a total of two exits written on the map. “I ask the princess to lead her knights and cover their retreat.”

“I won’t do that.”

The princess wrote down all her information with quick movements. She then whistled and, at her call, tied it to a golden falcon and sent it flying away.

“Then, I will leave with this guy.”

I pulled the shoulder of the one-armed shaman.

“Be careful. Hakim is a mean man.”

The princess looked at the day she was leaving with concern and she said.

“He may be greedy and try to lure you to his side.”

“Don’t worry.”

I put her necklace, warmed by her princess’s body temperature, into her chest and hid it.

And with her behind him, the shaman took the lead.

“As of today, he will never see sunlight.”

Lydia is half worried.

She had a bitter smile on her face, half believing.

“I’ll wait.”

She silently watched me walking away and answered.

With a somewhat changed tone.

“….”

The underground city was hidden in a cliff located near the entertainment district.

Thanks to this, the road there was quite crowded.

As I was passing by, a display stand selling masks suddenly caught my eye.

I picked up a black fox mask there.

“There’s something that’s perfect for a surprise attack.”

I wore it on my face very naturally, as if it were my own.

Then, the mask merchant and the shaman looked at me at the same time.

“What are you doing? “I don’t pay.”

I looked down at him with black eyes.

The guy was startled by this and hurriedly paid the merchant.

“Yes, yes…” !”

Hidden my face, I leisurely led the way through the crowd.

“Hey… Sir.”

“What is it? “Our bat shaman.”

From Noble mtl dot com

The shaman who had been betrayed twice had his face twitched.

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked carefully.

“May I ask why you were wearing a mask?”

“That’s a good question.”

I turned my head.

Then he lifted his mask slightly and said.

“I may unintentionally cut a lot of people today.”

The lifeless black eyes of a fox.

Facing this, the shaman swallowed deeply and listened to my words.

“So, shouldn’t I step forward as a punisher rather than a knight of the sacred empire?”

In fact, this action was taken with the crown prince’s spying in mind.

It would be difficult if in the process of subduing Hakim, he reports my identity to Leon.

“Indeed… All right.”

He listened to me and bowed his head.

It seems like they have no doubts because they have already confirmed my skills.

Soon we passed through the crowded entertainment district and arrived in front of a secluded cliff.

Then he fumbled through a pile of thick bushes.

Finally, he pressed his feet hard against the protruding stone floor….

An intense blue light began to flash from the otherwise intact outer wall.

“Please come in.”

The shaman created a flame in his remaining palm.

And then he led the way into the dark passage.

A bright light is visible at the end of the dark passage.

As soon as we arrived at the light, a spacious underground city unfolded.

“This is Hakim’s underground city, Samarkand.”

The ceiling is blocked by the ground, so not a single ray of sunlight shines through.

However, there is a cave wind that comes from nowhere, and there are some very well-built buildings.

Looking at it this way, the underground city certainly seemed like a place worth living in.

Except, of course, for the numerous knights of Hakim waiting for us in front of the passage.

“What, was everyone waiting for me?”

I spoke with a relaxed expression.

But these guys don’t respond at all.

“I heard that the prince of bright colors was hiding in this gloomy place, so I came to see him…. “It’s truly pitiful.”

They each hold their weapons in their hands and point them at me.

“Where is he? “I need to meet you in person and show you some sympathy.”

The knights glared at me wearing a fox mask with a fierce look.

However, they soon had no choice but to retreat all at once.

“Did you call me?”

Because the Prince of the East, who had been waiting for me in advance, answered me from afar.

“I am a long-awaited guest. Please open the way.”

As if responding to the voice, the knights split in half at once.

Thanks to this, the passage to the prince was wide open.

‘Definitely like an elite knight, his movements are fast and organized.’

It is a military power that can revolt against Lydia.

“Come up. “Because I was waiting for you.”

I followed the voice and straightened my face.

A tall hill built at the end of an unfolding passage.

There was a pavilion placed on top of it.

Like a heavenly temple where gods enjoy a feast.

“You should retreat down the aisle.”

The shaman heard my command and retreated into the dark passage.

He no longer followed Hakim.

“….”

The gazes that look at me as if they are going to kill me as I pass by.

Ignoring those stares, I leisurely climbed to the pavilion.

‘You look very healthy.’

The table seen up close was even more spectacular.

A gorgeous table spread out on a steep pavilion.

And, fancy and luxurious food like a dinner in mythology.

Plus, there are beautiful women on both sides.

The underground city was actually Hakim’s paradise.

‘If this guy comes back to power, the eastern part will be in great shape.’

“You must be a fun guy to come wearing a mask.”

I followed his deep voice and raised his head.

After this, I was finally able to meet the first prince of the eastern region who had brought me all the way to the eastern region.

Black hair tied into a topknot and slicked back.

And even the red eyes that look exactly like Lydia and Vanessa.

Anyone can see that they are biological siblings with the same mother.

However, his eyes did not seem as lifeless as Lydia’s.

If her eyes sparkled like red rubies, his eyes were as thick as blood.

“Welcome to my city.”

The guy wearing long sleeves stretched out his arms.

And he looked at me arrogantly, as if bragging about his world.

“I’ve known for a long time that you were coming here.”

“Yes, the former commander of the Eastern Knights probably told you.”

I rolled my eyes under the mask with a smile on my face.

And then I looked at the middle-aged man drinking quietly at the corner of the table.

Her hair is white, and the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles.

However, with a huge bear-like appearance and golden mana wafting from around….

He is a sword master like me.

It is also fully ripe.

“You seem to have quite strong strength at such a young age.”

The old man who ruled the world with the conquering king flashed his golden eyes.

And then he stared at me as if piercing my mana.

“What did you go through that made you strong so quickly?”

I snorted at the former leader’s question.

“I continued training while you were sleeping in the eaves.”

It must have been quite strong in the past.

However, now, due to luxury and pleasure, the color of mana that should shine has become quite dull.

“It’s truly pitiful that the leader met the wrong leader and ended up like that.”

I clicked my tongue.

And while sitting across from Hakim, he shook his glass.

“Pour a drink. “I need a drink for your rotten body.”

Hearing those words, the corner of the middle-aged leader’s eyes twitched.

“This kid….”

He soon began to wear golden mana around his arms.

And it was ready to attack me right away.

“Uh-huh, leader. “How many times have I told you that I don’t want to see blood when I’m drinking?”

Hakim patted Nobu’s shoulder to help him get back on his feet.

And then, he looked at me and smiled brightly.

“Let’s have a drink and slowly talk about each other’s goals.”

Hakim snapped his fingers proudly.

Then, a soft rustling sound of silk was heard from the bottom of the pavilion.

“Did you call me, Your Highness?”

A woman with black and white hair wearing an oriental dress with beautiful patterns.

They bowed their heads politely and suddenly started sitting on either side of me.

“When drinking, you need eye-catching snacks.”

And then, I started pouring alcohol into the glass I was holding.

It smells like strange perfume.

Hakim placed his hand on the shoulder of the beautiful woman sitting next to him.

And he said, pushing his finger into his bosom.

“How about drinking with the best women in the East?”

This guy stares at me with arrogant eyes.

He said, taking a sip of his drink.

“Don’t you feel a bit more relaxed?”

I looked at his glass and the women sitting on either side of him.

As expected, just as he said, both were in dire straits.

The black-haired woman has a lively face on her face.

It is a beauty so friendly that it can make even a man smile after a hard life.

The white-haired woman is neat and clean.

Even her eyelids are white, and she is so mysterious and feminine that you want to protect her.

I gently placed my hands on the shoulders of the two angry women.

Then, Hakim smiled and said with satisfaction.

“As expected, this guy knows how to have fun. “Of all the animals, I heard you liked her from the moment she wore a fox mask?”

But.

I didn’t feel the two people’s skin at all.

“Well. “I’m not sure if it’s the most beautiful.”

Rather, he concentrated the blue mana in his palm.

And, all the weak energy that was eating away at their bodies was removed.

“It doesn’t seem like much compared to the women I usually see.”

The women, whose strength had disappeared, looked embarrassed.

Then, I looked at the black pupils shining through my mask and hurriedly took a step back.

“At least they don’t recommend alcohol mixed with aphrodisiacs.”

When Hakim heard those words, the smile disappeared from his face.

The same goes for the leader who was watching the delicate mana operation next to her.

“What’s wrong with your facial expressions? “Let’s have fun?”

I looked at the guys’ eyes with satisfaction.

“Now that the women are not around, pour yourself the alcohol.”

I have really liked high-ranking criminals since ancient times.

Even if you speak informally to them or swear at them, you are not guilty.

“Hakim.”

And, if an attempt was made to assassinate the royal family.

Even if you kill, you are not guilty.
