I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 181



181 – Taking Care of Children

The place where the man sets out to track down the leader of the Carbita tribe according to his master’s orders is none other than Hespania.

In cities, the face of the person who rules from time to time is revealed, and Hespania was no different.

‘Indeed.’

The grandeur of a forest of giant trees rather than a fancy street decorated with lights.

That was the man’s review of this city.

Of course, even if that were the case, if you were to say that the panoramic view of this city was worth gazing at, it was not.

As evidenced by the mark on the back of the man’s neck, his emotions and will he were taken away by his master.

Even if I saw a beautiful woman dancing coquettishly in front of me, or even if I saw the splendid palace for the first time, my heart would not be moved.

It simply carries out its master’s orders. It only moves for that purpose.

‘Regardless of why he is here, the direction is strange.’

As a result of tracking the curse that his master placed on the leader of the Karbita tribe, he succeeded in reaching this place, but it was still a mystery.

Why is it presumed that his traces are here in Hespania, especially in the direction of Robeheim Castle?

Lee Min-jok and the Robeheim family have been close enemies since ancient times.

There would be no way for them to be hiding here without the leader of such an alien race.

It would be more believable to say that he rolled in as a corpse, but if he was really dead, the curse should have disappeared completely.

‘He is not dead, but his traces are in Hespania. There is only one number of cases I can think of.’

For some reason, the Carbita tribe briefly colluded with the Robeheim family.

Other than that, there were almost no possibilities.

‘The only way is to check with your own eyes.’

It won’t be that easy to infiltrate Robeheim Castle and find his traces

However, the man had the power given to him by his master, and he also had the means to escape just in case.

Then there is only one thing to do.

Trudging. Whisk!

The man climbed the wall and looked carefully at the towering Loveheim Castle beyond.

The initial purpose was simply reconnaissance and tracking, but if the head of the Karbita tribe really joined hands with the Robeheim family, things got quite complicated.

There is no choice but to kill them somehow and not even leave any evidence.

His body, which had been staring at the castle so intently, disappeared as if melting into the shadows.

Only a cat that passed by late tilted its head to let us know that someone was there.

Kellag was amazed at the formidable scope of Sonia’s activities of hers.

How is it possible to run around all day after leaving the main building with those two thin legs?

She followed behind her and before she knew it, she was almost at her end.

“Mr. Ajo! “The tree over there is so big!”

“Right. Even if you look at it, it’s so big that it won’t last for about ten years.”

Sonia reached her wall, pointed to a tree at the end of her line of sight, and spread her arms wide.

As she said, it was a tree so big that it made people’s mouths drop, so Kelagh shook his head and let out a soft exclamation.

It was a tree that looked like it had lived a funny life for at least thirty to forty years.

“Do you know the name of that tree?”

“I don’t know. “I have no connection with that kind of person.”

Although they are said to be a tribe that lives in harmony with nature, that does not mean they are familiar with all living things in nature.

In particular, although Kellag knew quite a bit about poisonous plants that could harm her body if eaten, she barely knew the names of trees or flowers that were just for ornamental purposes.

“Then can you climb that tree?”

Unless you’re a squirrel and need to hide yourself in battle, there’s no reason to climb a tree, but if you’re asking whether it’s possible or not, it’s definitely possible.

Even if you run in place instead of climbing a tree, wouldn’t you be able to reach a certain height?

But soon Kelagh realized that wasn’t what Sonia really wanted to ask.

That’s right, because there was something strangely longing in her eyes as she looked up at Kelagh, who was three times bigger than her.

When you are young, you usually have a desire to climb to high places.

Just by changing the eye level, many things change from the original view.

Of course, this can only be done if you have a fearless personality, but when you are young, you usually have little fear of the unknown.

“Why? Do you want to go up?”

When Kelagh, who put all of this together and realized Sonia’s intentions, asked her as if she had been caught, she smiled as if she had been caught and nodded her head without hesitation.

“Hehe, yes!”

“Well… “She is a lady who is good at taking care of people.”

It didn’t matter since I was asking with the intention that they would listen anyway, but I ended up thinking that he was really being mean-spirited.

From noble mtl dot come

Although this is usually the case with young children.

“Tsk…”

“Wow, that’s high!”

When they first met, she just lifted Sonia up high, but this time she had to carry her to her her tree her her her, so she held her steady by supporting her legs her her her.

Even so, it was still a high place for Sonia, so her lips her touched his ear her

Kellag, who was watching this, was worried that she might fall.

“If you struggle, it will fall. “Hold on tight to your uncle.”

“Hehe, let’s go!”

After hearing his words her her her, Sonia grabbed Kelagh’s arms and shoulders and held her body her her in place.

Smiling approvingly at her teeth, Kelag walked straight up to her tree and placed her on one of her thick branches.

“Hey, if you get hurt…’

Meanwhile, the guard watching this scene from the side was anxious.

Who is the opponent? She is none other than Edgar’s younger sister.

If the branch somehow breaks and falls, his head may fall off that day as well.

“Children grow up with injuries all of a sudden. Besides, does that man seem like the type of person to argue about something like this?”

“…”

I wanted to protest, but the guard had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

As he said, because of Edgar’s personality his, even if Sonia was slightly injured, it seemed like he could just ignore it as long as it was not very serious.

‘I don’t know if Your Majesty would say the same thing.’

The problem was rather Ariel than Edgar.

Recently, rumors have spread within her castle about how much she cares for and cares for Sonia.

In the meantime, what if Sonia, whom I cherish so much, comes back injured? On that day, hell may open.

However, seeing Sonia so happy, the guard did not have the courage to stop her, so he decided to step back quietly.

After all, his duty is to see to it that Kelagh does no harm to her.

“How do you feel, lady? Is it fun?”

“Huh! This makes you look shorter than me!”

“There’s nothing I can’t say.”

How did the best warrior of the Karbita tribe end up in a situation where he was toyed with by such a little boy?

Still, it was quite enjoyable to watch him mess around with himself, so he didn’t say anything and leaned his back against the tree.

‘I’m starting to feel a bit tired.’

Perhaps due to the effects of the curse, my body used to get tired easily, and now seemed like the perfect time.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to go back to Sonia, who was so happy, so she decided to close her eyes and wait for her body to recover.

“Mr. Ajo… I’m sleepy? “Does it still hurt a lot?”

Sonia, who was watching, stuck out her head like a squirrel on a tree and asked cautiously.

I heard a while back that Kellagg was sick, and I was worried that maybe he was still sick.

“It’s because the wind is cool.”

To this, Kellag opened only one eye and responded differently.

Why are children so quick to notice things?

I thought that maybe she had good insight like her brother.

Is this why she says she’s scared of blood?

Meanwhile, Sonia tilts her head with an even more confused expression at Kellag’s words hers.

When the wind blew, not even the blades of grass on the tree she was hanging on moved at all.

“The wind isn’t blowing…” ” … ?”

“If an adult tells you to blow, you will blow.”

Kellag gently reached out her hand and roughly stroked Sonia’s hair with the intention of tangling it, before pulling her away from the tree.

I thought that if I was going to keep doing this and causing concern, it would be best to just play with him even if I was a little tired.

He approached Sonia like that and stretched out her hand. The moment he was about to offer her a suggestion to come down,

Slurp.

“… !”

I was started by the sudden cold and warmth that enveloped my entire body and turned around.

Then, what he saw in front of him was the guard who had been watching him just a moment ago, lying down on the grass.

“… “What are you doing?”

And a man slowly approaches the direction of the fallen man, carelessly stepping on his body.

Kellag glared his eyes and threatened, but his opponent’s eyes were nothing but calm.

“Mr. Ajo, who is that person… ?”

“… Be quiet. “I’ll be back for a little while, so don’t move.”

“Ugh…”

The man’s atmosphere was so strange that even young Sonia immediately felt a sense of foreignness.

It was as if he was looking at something empty, like when Edgar first saw Albrich.

After hiding Sonia behind the tree for a moment, Kelag took a step in front of her and clenched her fist without her saying a word.

Although he was treated very kindly, if you look at it strictly, he was like a prisoner of war and did not have a single weapon.

It might be better if the man pulls out the sword from the waist of the guard he stepped on, but then Sonia behind him will be empty.

‘Damn.’

Even at first glance, he is not an ordinary person.

The fact that he broke into this castle in the first place probably means that he has the power to deal with the guards without a word or to easily defeat them.

Moreover, Kelagh felt that the skill of the person in front of him was unpredictable.

Usually, a person with outstanding skills, regardless of whether he is a wizard or a swordsman, will display a unique sense of intimidation.

In fact, that’s why I couldn’t relax any more.

“Is this Kelag of the Karbita tribe?”

“… You know me. Is he his subordinate?”

The fact that he is here is known only to very few people in the Karbita tribe and only the senior officials of the Robeheim family.

There were many cases where other people didn’t even know Kelagh’s face.

Nevertheless, if he recognized his identity as soon as he saw him, there were several possibilities, but in Kelagh’s opinion, the most likely was that he was the wizard’s subordinate.

I don’t know how they got here, but if there was some kind of device for this curse, there was a good chance.

“You’re quite intelligent.”

“I thought you would grab it.”

“It doesn’t really matter. “I came because I was told to kill you anyway.”

Kellarg gritted his teeth lightly at the more belligerent attitude than he expected.

He wanted to bide his time and call for reinforcements, but he didn’t seem to be willing to let it go that easily.

‘It’s a long way from success.’

Since this place could be said to be at the end of the castle branch, it was a long way to hope that anyone passing by would notice that the situation was strange.

I don’t know if there’s any way to contact him, but he can’t handle magic at all.

“Who is the kid behind that?”

“Do you plan on letting someone live if they are not involved?”

“Are you asking this knowingly? Or maybe he’s asking because he truly doesn’t know.”

Perhaps Kellagg was hoping that he would be the kind of person who didn’t want to cause more trouble, but unfortunately, he didn’t seem to fall into that category.

Seeing his eyes blatantly looking towards Sonia, who was hidden by the tree, Kelagh realized that he could not delay and took a step forward.

“Die obediently. Then at least I’ll let you go in peace.”

“I would do that if it were just my life, but unfortunately I have a favor to ask.”

Kel Rag glanced at Sonia behind her, clenched her fists and adjusted her posture.

‘At least it takes time.’

Even if it’s unclear whether or not we can handle it, if a commotion breaks out here, it will somehow attract the attention of those around us.

With the intention of saving at least the younger sister that the man had entrusted to her, Kel Rag attacked the enemy in front of him.
