CH 74

On the same day, a maid came to Leolde's house to replace Shelia. The maid had come all the way from the royal capital to Ze'at.

Leolde  was happy that Beluga had sent the maid to him, but when he learned the truth, he was troubled.

"I'm Isabelle, and I've been assigned to you by Lady Sylvia."

My name is Isabelle. Please take care of me from now on.""

(Why ......?! )

He  never expected that Sylvia, the fourth princess, would send a maid to  him .

Leolde sobbed in  his heart. He can't escape the clutches of evil unless  he leave this country.

We have to go back in time a little to find out how this happened.

While Leolde was reporting to Beluga about Sheria's , Sylvia, the fourth princess was in the middle of negotiations with Alberion, the king, at the royal castle.

"Father. I'm sure you're not going to approve of this.

"I know you are fond of Leolde . I and I understand your desire to go to Ze'at.

I want to let you go, but I really need you to stay  here.

"That's because you need my skills, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's right. It pains me to keep you, my daughter, tied up i in capital  just because your skills are useful, but it is for the good of the people.

". I know that father is supporting the people who are doing research for me every day."

Sylvia's skill, sacred warding, has a tremendous effect on monsters . It rejects  monsters and repels magic.

She has a range that surrounds the capital, so you could say that Sylvia is the cornerstone of the capital's defense.

Thanks to Sylvia, the people living in the royal capital don't have to be afraid of the  of monsters.

However, only a few people in the capital know this fact.

However, Sylvia's skill cannot be activated at nighttime . Even if she activates it before  night fell  it will be deactivated when she sleeps. So nighttime security is necessary.

And to make up for this shortcoming, the king has gathered researchers to study Sylvia's skills every day to see if they can be reproduced.

He has tried to recreate many of her skills, but has not been able to do so yet.

There are wards that use magic circles, but they are not as good as Sylvia's sacred wards.

While Sylvia's sacred wards are unbreakable, mere wards may be destroyed as their durability changes depending on the skill of the magician and the amount of magic power poured into them.

That's why the king  doesn't want to let Sylvia, the  key element of defense, leave the capital.

This is the reason why the king doesn't want to take Sylvia out of the capital. Instead of tying her up in the capital, he allows her a certain amount of freedom and lets her act freely within the capital, but Sylvia is not happy because Leolde is not there.

"You should stop obsessing over  him .

"I won't stop . You know that."

"You know that Leolde  is the first person who has ever changed his personality to such an extent."

"That's true, but I've checked, and there's nothing special about him.

"Yes, I know!　That's why I want to know!　Why  sir Leoldo changed so much?

"Then why don't you just leave it to your own people? You can't  lern it yourself if you don't leave it to your subordinates.  sir Leolde  is  frightened by my every move."

(It's so adorable that it makes me want to ...... torment him.)

(I'm sorry, Leoldo. I didn't know my daughter had this side of her.)

The king, Argabane, meditated on his daughter's proclivities while joining hands with Leolde in his heart.

Sylvia could not go to Ze'at after all, but she got the information that Leolde was looking for a new servant.

She couldn't let thing be like this , so she wrote to Beluga and sent the person of her  that she send  to Leolde  Although she couldn't stay by  his side, Sylvia succeeded in getting the person she wanted to stay by  his side.

But to tell the truth, Sylvia wanted to send a civilian. But t so that she could learn more about the situation.

But she stopped thinking about it halfway through. It was because she wanted to see how the current Leolde would rule  Ze'at.

For better or worse, Sylvia was faithful to her desires, but only God knows whether this would be a good thing or a bad thing.

And now, in front of Leolde  eyes, there is a beautiful maid who bows her head politely.

Her name is Isabelle. She is a woman with cold eyes and a somewhat unfathomable impression. And since she was recommended by Sylvia, she was someone  he couldn't be too careful with.

However, since the princess herself recommended her, there was no doubt that she was excellent. Leolde was happy, but at the same time, he was somewhat suspicious.

"For now, I'll let you go in and learn  about the job. I'm sure it won't be too difficult,  and I'm counting on you.'

"Thank you, Master Leolde."

'He is  worried, but  he  need to fill the   place left by Shelia. So, Leolde takes Isabelle to the mansion.

(Now I have to find out how  master Leolde- has changed and how he will rule Ze'at. For the sake of the princess .

Of course, Isabelle is not just a servant. She is an intelligence agent sent by Sylvia.

Leolde will have a troublesome person in  his  life, although whether it's poison or medicine for now is unknown

(I wonder what that princess is thinking...0

Leolde was unaware of this. He was oblivious to all this and was only watching out for the princess.
