Transcends space.
And not just any ordinary fairy, but the Summer Fairy Queen.
‘I know that place!’
For the Summer Fairies, the palace was both a place where they lived for a long time and a playground.
Before the Summer Fairy Queen ascended to the throne, among the places she often played as a child was the royal hideout.
‘It was still under construction back then. Is it finished now?’
Her memories came flooding back, along with the Fairy Queen’s voice.
The Fairy Queen, who is still a girl but appears to be much younger, and a man talking to her.
Her face resembled Princess Daphne.
No, it would be more correct to say that Princess Daphne resembled him.
King of the Founding Lion D. Sairun.
As his name suggests, he was said to have the courage of a lion, and was thus called the Lion Heart King.
He looked at me and smiled, his golden hair, a symbol of royalty, growing out like a lion’s mane. He continued to speak.
I wanted to hear it.
But I couldn’t hear it.
So I looked into it as a solo.
What he says.
The story of the founding king that remains in the Fairy Queen’s memory.
My memory is blurred.
Yuder closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He concentrated all his attention on his right hand to keep his mind from becoming increasingly clouded.
Cordelia’s hand clasped together.
It was small, soft, and warm.
The occasional wiggling movements were very cute.
Uther exhaled again.
I held Cordelia’s hand tighter and opened my eyes.
light.
And reality.
It was possible to encounter it because I had escaped from the subspace that could only be accessed when using Fairy Steps.
It was wider than I thought.
A dark room revealed under magical lighting and the people inside.
“Huh? What is this? Something is strange here!”
The Summer Fairy Queen spoke, and Uther could hear other voices as well.
“Sister and brother?”
“Uder Bayer?”
“Baron Chase?”
Princess Darien, Crown Princess Daphne, and even Prince Dion.
It wasn’t just three people sitting on the long sofa.
Next to King Henry II, drenched in sweat, sat his second wife, Henrietta, the biological mother of Princess Justia and Princess Darien. Next to the second wife, the third wife, who looked to be around the same age as Princess Daphne, sat with a frightened look on her face.
“Who, who are you! Where did you come from all of a sudden?!”
When Henry II shouted in surprise, Queen Justia gently pressed her hand on his shoulder to calm him down, then looked straight at Judas and Cordelia.
As expected from her reputation as a heroine, she maintained her wit even in the midst of extreme confusion.
“Baron Bayer and Baron Chase?”
Normally, it would have been a situation where one would have had to kneel and show respect.
But that wasn’t the case.
So instead of giving an example, Uder recognized the situation.
‘I got ahead.’
Arrived before the Guardian King.
So now it was time to take the next step.
First of all, I checked the Fairy Queen’s words.
“What do you mean, strange?”
“There’s a wall. You can get in, but it seems like it’ll be hard to get out. You’ll have to fly yourself.”
It was a story that was difficult to understand at first, but Yuder understood it right away.
wall.
I guess we’re not talking about physical walls.
Space jumping is difficult.
There is an element that prevents you from jumping through space, so you can enter, but you cannot exit.
I think I’ll have to walk.
It wasn’t such good news.
But to some extent, it was expected.
‘Too close to Suhojin.’
The refuge was located in the center of the main palace, and the guardian deity was located slightly lower down.
Even if she was the Fairy Queen, it would be difficult to jump through space when she was this close to the guardian.
“Is it completely impossible?”
“It’s difficult. I can do it alone, but it’s impossible to take all of you.”
“All right.”
Uther gave up his foolishness.
Because I didn’t have much time, I had to get to the next thing right away.
“Uder, Cordelia. What’s going on?”
Crown Princess Daphne spoke, and there was a hint of anger in the eyes of the ignored First Queen Justia.
But this time, Yuder didn’t look back at the two of them. He completely ignored them and just did his own thing.
Anger spread across the royal family’s faces. Princess Daphne’s eyes also became sharp, and Cordelia, who was growing impatient, opened her mouth.
“Oh, this is a big deal! The Guardian has betrayed us! He killed the royal family. He’s coming here now!”
I shouted as loud as I could, but Cordelia knew too.
That means even seeds won’t be eaten.
“What nonsense are you talking about! The Duke of the Patriots betrayed you! He killed the royal family! Are you crazy?”
Henry II jumped to his feet and let out a groan.
It was natural.
From the time he was born until now, he has always lived looking at the back of the patriotic Duke.
To him, the patriots were not mere vassals.
He was not only a trustworthy shield of the kingdom, but also a national hero that I had admired since childhood.
How could he betray and kill the royal family?
“You bastard! I will definitely punish you severely!”
“No!”
Cordelia stamped her feet and pounded her chest.
I knew this would happen.
I knew this would happen, but it really is so frustrating I think I’m going crazy.
“Crown Princess Daphne! It’s true! Please believe me!”
Crown Princess Daphne did not immediately respond to Cordelia’s appeal. She frowned and looked back at Prince Dion, and Princess Darian, who had been clinging to Crown Princess Daphne, looked back at the adults with a frightened face.
“Oh, shit!”
As expected, it was impossible.
It was impossible to make Cordelia trust herself more than the Duke of Gukje with just a few days of friendship.
It was a situation where it was a blessing that he had not been punished like Henry II.
“Hey you bitch! How dare you swear so filthy! Do you really want to die!”
Henry II shouted again, and Cordelia pounded her chest with her fist.
I wanted to scream that I was so frustrated because of you, but he was still the king. Saying something like that would only make the situation worse.
So what should we do now?
How can we overcome the current situation?
‘Uder!’
Yeah, Yuder.
Wasn’t it originally Yuder who was in charge of this situation?
Cordelia looked back at Uther, calming her heart that was racing with a little resentment and anticipation. And she blinked without realizing it.
“Yuderya?”
What are you doing now?
While the royals and Cordelia were arguing, Uther didn’t even think about talking.
Because I knew full well that it would be a meaningless conversation just a waste of time.
‘Victory conditions.’
Maintain the barrier by saving the royal family.
That’s all I need now.
So what should we do?
Disconnect.
By cutting off the royal family and the patriotic duke, the dangerous situation itself is eliminated.
When Cordelia began to argue with Henry II, Uther opened the box that the Summer Fairy Queen had left behind, sitting on it.
After gathering the necessary equipment, I took out some of the items that were taking up more than half of the space in the box and started installing them in the only entrance.
Pink dynamite.
The detonation line.
Similar C4 developed by trial.
“Yuderya?”
Cordelia looked back at Uther, and the royal family’s gaze that had been focused on Cordelia also turned to Uther.
And instead of answering, Uther acted.
ignition.
Basic fire magic.
The fuse has been lit.
The moment the detonator was ignited, an explosion rang out, causing a chain reaction of dynamite and C4-like explosives.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kwagagagagagagang!
The entrance exploded with a loud noise. Part of the secret passage connected to the entrance also exploded, and the walls and ceiling collapsed. The falling rocks completely sealed the entrance.
Block the road.
Makes it impossible for the Guardians to reach the shelter at all.
Uther looked back at Cordelia. It was a rare outburst, but instead of smiling brightly, she blinked, and the king and the royal family were all shocked and couldn’t say anything.
Even Crown Princess Daphne and First Queen Justia, who were not easily moved by simple things, had blank expressions on their faces.
“Yes, yes you bastard!”
Henry II shouted, and Uther ignored him. He thought mechanically.
Even though the passage has collapsed, there is no peace of mind.
The opponent is the Patriot.
Although weakened, he is a member of the Ten Swordsmen.
A collapsed passage can be pierced with a strong sword strike.
So, you have to get out of the shelter completely. You have to get away from the Guardians of the Nation completely.
How so?
The plan to forcefully move the royal family with the power of the Fairy Queen was rendered useless.
Then, should we try to persuade the royals as a second option?
‘No, that’s not the best option.’
If only Crown Princess Daphne, Prince Dion, and Princess Darien were persuaded.
But here was Henry II, and there were queens too.
Regardless of whether persuasion was possible or not, it would have been a waste of considerable time.
So persuasion was not a second option.
There was a real lane somewhere else.
Jude completely ignored Henry II. He burst into rage again, and even his first wife, Justia, turned her fierce gaze toward him, but he calmly carried out his duties.
He combined adhesive, dynamite, and explosive wires and threw them at the walls and ceiling.
Knock knock knock.
The explosives were attached neatly and precisely.
Ceiling and walls.
A layout that can completely destroy a shelter with minimal impact.
Uder lit the long strings of fuses. He turned to the royals with great naturalness and said:
“It will explode in 30 seconds.”
So if you want to live, run away.
Uder spoke with a calm face and a gentle smile, and the royal family broke out in a cold sweat at his crazy appearance.
“I hate it!”
The three queens screamed in panic due to the series of events. Henry II jumped to his feet and tried to shout something.
And the first queen made a decision.
She struck Henry II hard in the stomach as he tried to get up from his seat. She held him in one arm as he lost consciousness with a gasp and ordered him.
“To the exit!”
There were two doors in the shelter.
One is the door leading from the palace to the refuge.
The other is a door that leads out of the palace from the refuge.
All royal family members reflexively followed the orders of the first queen, who carried Henry II on her back in one breath.
I ran quickly towards the exit.
And then Uther looked at Cordelia.
She looked at Yuder with a blank face, then opened her pretty lips and said.
“This is absolutely crazy.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“I absolutely love it!”
She shouted cheerfully and jumped up and hugged Uther’s neck, and Uther hugged Cordelia in his arms. The Summer Fairy Queen, who smiled brightly at the sight of the two people hugging each other like princesses, settled down on Cordelia’s chest.
And the golden wind that rises.
The moment Uther pushed himself into the exit, Cordelia saw the shelter over Uther’s shoulder. Instead of waiting for the fuse to burn out, she winked prettily and activated her magic.
“Fuck bang♥”
And then it explodes.
The shelter exploded with a deafening noise.
&
An explosion underground shook the entire palace.
As he was about to squeeze his body into the secret passage, Hoguk-gong instinctively realized where the epicenter was.
What happened?
What happened?
Instead of flying, the Guardian confirmed two things.
Presence or absence of a barrier.
And another one.
Things were going wrong.
I don’t know what happened, but my plans kept going wrong.
Whose doing is this?
What on earth happened?
I couldn’t figure it out.
There was no time to delay.
The Guardian looked straight ahead again. He ran towards the shelter.
&
A fierce battle between Count Bayer and the First Sword continued.
Lucas let out a ragged breath after cutting off the last zombie’s head, and the guard knights moved to suppress the situation outside the main palace.
And one more person.
Count Chase continued to cast spells again. He supported the main palace, which was about to completely collapse, with his powerful magical power, and made stone pillars rise up one after another to replace the collapsed wall.
He knew.
That Count Bayer was waging a fierce battle over there. That Uder and Cordelia were continuously sending out warning signals.
And one more thing.
There is one thing that no one else but him knows yet.
‘The royal road.’
I could tell because of the rough flow of magic.
It wasn’t just the palace that was in trouble.
Big events were also happening outside the palace.
Count Chase gritted his teeth. He shut out his thoughts and focused solely on preventing the palace from collapsing.
Hurry up.
But keep the order.
A new magical spell poured out from Count Chase’s mouth.
