The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

43 – Loyalty to you (5)

From the moment Yuna decided to become the king of Helia, she was closely monitoring not only the situation in her country but also the situation in neighboring countries.

It was more stubborn because it started later than its competitors and from a disadvantageous position. Yuuna was as stubborn as she was cruel.

It was for that reason that I learned information about the Deipson Kingdom.

However, the only thing that is questionable is that Deipson must have been in a serious situation for a long time, and by the time Yuuna found out, it was already too late.

I was suspicious of King Deipson, who had stayed quiet until it got to that point, but it was also an opportunity for Yuna.

Yuuna secretly gathered more information through trusted informants she hired. Until you approach Duke Ceramide.

“… “It is presumed that a leader has arisen.”

And another thing I learned.

The land of former Regius, adjacent to Deipson. Among them, the desert area where Regius suffered.

It was information that there was a high probability that a leader monster had appeared there.

There was also speculation that the monsters would have moved around because it was a desert area, but if a boss had arisen, it was further explained that the monsters had increased exponentially in Deipson.

There was a high probability that only Yuuna knew this information. As of now, no one is interested in the abandoned wasteland of a ruined country.

Regius.

Hearing that name in an unexpected place somehow made me feel bad. Maybe that desert area was the starting point of the country’s destruction.

For some reason, I was nervous about that land. And regardless of that, it seemed like that land could be a good opportunity for Yuna.

It was a trace of Regius’ destruction that had driven Yuna to despair, but this time, it was a situation that might have given her an opportunity.

“What are the chances?”

“That’s enough. From what we can see in the records, it is said to be a boss, but that does not mean that it cannot be defeated by humans. In fact, it is said that if you are prepared, the knights can take out at least one boss.

However, knights who have never experienced a boss like now may get confused and suffer great damage due to lack of experience. “If you go into battle without knowing that information.”

“What if I intervene?”

“… “Then it won’t be that difficult.”

After several days of deliberation, Yuna made a decision. We decided to subdue Daipson’s monsters and eat Daipson.

I was planning to approach Duke Ceramide and make a full version. The duke decided that swallowing up the Kingdom of Deipson would not be a bad choice.

As expected, the Duke accepted Yuna’s proposal, and proposed to the royal court to conquer Deipson on Yuna’s behalf.

The 1st prince and 1st princess rushed to compete with the proposal, and Yuna also secretly joined the expedition.

And they succeeded in reaching the desert area of Cyregius. Everything went according to Yuna’s plan.

Yuuna was planning to catch the leader himself.

And if successful, it would be a great help to Yuuna in jumping into the competition for the throne.

-Kugugung…

“I’ll take a moment to look at the situation.”

Yuuna explored the desert area with the Ceramide family’s thorns.

And as expected, there was a huge ground tremor that seemed to be the leader’s movement, and Beryl came out to investigate the situation.

“Please do so.”

Although it was already expected, Yuuna calmly pretended to observe the situation.

Everything went according to plan, but we didn’t want to show that it was as planned.

Pretending it was a coincidence would have created a more dramatic effect, and doing so would have made a better impression on the Ceramide family knights who had been with the whole situation.

Shootaaa-

“… !”

And the sound of sand grazing not long after he left.

It was too big and too close to be just wind.

It was a painful friction sound, as if a giant hand was sweeping the desert sand.

“… “Princess!”

It was the cry of the other guard knights who were guarding her side instead of Beryl.

I only focused on Beryl, but all of her other guard knights were also participating in this subjugation.

However, Yuna did not believe them. I never thought he would sacrifice his life to protect himself like Beryl did.

“Ugh… The land… ! “Run away!”

As expected, their own safety was more important than Yuuna’s.

Perhaps unluckily, a leader individual came close to Yuuna, and the ground behind the line was slowly sinking.

The sand was spinning and sinking as if it were being sucked into a whirlpool, and the knights were abusing their horses in a desperate attempt to get out of the swamp.

Shootaaa

But the more he did it, the more the horse’s feet fell into the ground, and it just buckled helplessly.

A knight who fell from his horse screamed and was sucked into the center of the whirlpool at high speed.

“… “

The rear of the line suddenly became chaos. However, Yuna did not drive the horse in a hurry like the others.

I could feel it sinking, but I actually slowed down to prevent the horse from falling.

It was not a threatening situation for Yuna. In fact, I could have escaped if I wanted to.

However, it was not the time to show strength yet. The optimal time was to watch the situation a little more, when the knights fully understood the situation, and when the monster appeared.

Since it is such a big commotion anyway, even the front lines will soon notice.

When the battle with the leader begins, Yuuna plans to show off her power.

Even as her guard knights disappeared down the pit one by one, Yuna did not feel fear.

Even though those who were supposed to protect her died, Yuuna did not trust them in the first place.

No, because she never had expectations or depended on anyone, no matter who they were.

I didn’t particularly hate myself like that, but my feelings weren’t pleasant.

A slight annoyance rose through the screams of the escort knights.

-Princess-!

“… ?”

However, through all the frustration and discomfort, a voice was heard.

As Yuuna was sinking, she raised her head towards the voice, and there Beryl was riding a horse.

“what… !”

It was crazy.

The ground and the knights were clearly sinking into the whirlpool, and it was clear that he would die if he fell down it, but he was falling towards the pit at a faster rate.

No, it was coming towards him. He was foolishly running towards himself, with no one trying to save him. Like a person about to die.

“Stop-”

Yuuna tried to tell him to stop.

He was able to escape anyway. But it wasn’t clear whether they could get out with him.

However, before Yuna’s voice could reach him, Yuuna had no choice but to close her mouth again.

Paaat-

Because he ran.

He, who was descending with his horse toward the center of the whirlpool, jumped up from his horse in an instant.

“Princess!”

“you… !”

Using the speed at which it was running, it leapt up to Yuna’s horse as if it were flying.

Then, he managed to grab the reins of Yuna’s horse and keep it from falling into the whirlpool.

Instead, the horse stumbled from the shock.

“Excuse me!”

“… ?!”

Before Yuna could say anything, Beryl jumped once more and picked Yuna up.

He stepped on the saddle of Yuna’s horse, stood up, lifted Yuna up in his princess embrace, and prepared to run once again.

“W-what are you doing! “Are you crazy?”

“How can it be said that saving the princess is crazy? “Hold on tight so it doesn’t fall!”

Then, stepping on the horse’s back, which was reeling from the shock, he leaped once more.

Even when the balance was off, it was an incredible jump. It was a moment where I could see how hard he had been training.

grasp-

Beryl stepped on the horse and jumped on another horse floating down from above.

As if crossing stepping stones, I kept running and running again to get out of the whirlpool.

“you… !”

“Just be patient! “We’re almost there!”

From noble mtl dot com

Even though Yuna was only being held, I could see how tired he must have been in an instant.

The arms holding her began to tremble, and I felt my jumping ability gradually diminishing.

Sweat was pouring down from his face like rain, and he was panting like he was on the verge of death.

“you… ”

Still, he ran.

It was clear that his muscles were exhausted and he was out of breath, but he ran and ran again.

I jumped an unbelievable distance, stepped on falling horses and rocks, and ran again and again.

Yuuna didn’t understand him like that. If he had stayed quiet and not stepped forward to save himself, this wouldn’t have happened.

Yuuna couldn’t understand why he ran to save her and went through all this trouble.

No one came forward to save him.

Even the escort knights who had been working longer than him did not even look at Yuna, saying that they would live first in the situation just now.

But he ran down the whirlpool on his own, knowing that he could die. And I hugged myself.

Yuna could not possibly understand the intention of all those actions. Even at this moment when I was being held, I couldn’t understand.

“Kaaak-!”

Paaat-

He desperately clenches his molars and jumps.

Yuuna was staring at his distorted face without realizing it.

Slurp-

“Huh… Huh… “Are you okay, princess?”

“Beryl… ”

He finally did it.

He barely escaped the whirlpool’s range with a final jump he made while drooling, and only after running far away from the whirlpool did he collapse on his seat with Yuna in his arms.

“Huh… Huh… Relief… Fortunately, the… Safe… You said… “

He smiled to himself even as he was out of breath.

Even though I could have died if I made a mistake, I was saying that I was glad that I was safe.

Why on earth? Why is it that no one wants to save themselves?

Yuna could not understand his actions at all. That stupid smile that was different from usual seemed to strangely pierce deep in my heart.

“why… “You saved me?”

“yes… ?”

“You could have died. “Why did you save me?”

“Yeah… Phew… Aren’t I the princess’s knight? “You swore to always protect it, didn’t you?”

Yuna looked at him with a tired expression.

Those words are always stupid. His face somehow overlaps with Ben’s.

Yuna couldn’t figure out what this emotion she was feeling while looking at him.

All that was certain was that he was a fool enough to be reckless.

Just like Ben 10 years ago.

“Princess! Are you okay!”

The voice of the head of the Ceramide family wakes me up from my lost thoughts as I stare at Beryl, who is dazed and on the verge of exhaustion.

From the looks of it, it seemed like they came rushing in from the front and figured out the situation.

“He seems to be the leader. It seems to be a species that is active underground. I think the princess should quickly run away to the 1st prince. Please leave this to us for now. there! “Bring the horse!”

Since Beryl and Yuna’s horses had already sunk beneath the whirlpool, the leader brought another knight’s horse to them.

“Can you serve the princess?”

“Huh… after… enough… do.”

Beryl stood up, her legs shaking, and grabbed the reins.

Since he didn’t have the strength to get on the horse himself, he held out his hand to Yuna first.

“Pooh… … Come on up, princess. “I will take you there.”

“no.”

But Yuna did not hold his hand.

Instead, he moved his feet towards the direction where the leader would be.

“I won’t go.”

“… Princess! You can’t predict what kind of threat the monster will pose. “At least the princess must be safe!”

“… I do not need it. “I will fight too.”

“Princess… ?”

I look at Beryl, who is holding the reins with her arms shaking.

It was clear that even in that state, he would drive the horse until he died to save Yuuna.

Yuna hated seeing that. Although she was planning on fighting the leader anyway, the reason that made Yuna move now was none other than Beryl.

“Princess, no. Come join me… ”

“Shut up you. “Just watch from behind.”

“Princess… !”

With all his strength, he pushes Beryl away who tries to grab him. And Yuuna walked towards the leader.

“you. “Be prepared to be punished when we return to the capital.”

“king… Lady?”

If I return to the royal castle safely, I will have to properly punish that arrogant military guard.

That Liara would be scolded twice for the mistake of continuing to share a room with a female knight.

Paang-

Of course, it didn’t seem like it would be a real punishment.

Yuna herself knew that, but she didn’t know any other way than to say so.

“This… ! Princess, no way… !”

“Let’s finish it quickly.”

Cold mana, resembling night, bloomed from both of Yuuna’s hands.
