Taming Her Highness the Princess - Chapter 46
46 – Judgment for whom (5)
“Search as wide as possible! If you find any clues about the Heretic Judge or Young master Jeniel’s assistant during the search, come back and report it!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers who responded loudly to the guard chief’s words turned their heads and scattered in all directions. The soldiers who were not on horseback began searching nearby houses.
Jenny Earl also rode a horse and looked around the village nervously, but he could not find any trace of Radne. That fact gives strength to the hand holding the reins.
‘Where did you go?’
If time is delayed, things will get out of control. If it went beyond what could be solved with the Malaig family’s power and money, Radne would face a greater crisis than now.
Wanting to stop that, Jenny Earl tried his best to follow Radne’s trail, but he couldn’t get much of an income.
It seemed as if the unstoppable flow of time was eating away at life. As I was frowning in displeasure, Dersal, who had followed behind on horseback, cautiously opened his mouth.
“Young master, it seems that there is no clue about your assistant in this area. If you think a kidnapping is certain, how about contacting the Central Guard? We want to expand the scope, but we don’t have enough manpower…….”
That shouldn’t be the case. I didn’t want to make things big, so I came here with only the alumni guards. But if they still can’t find Radne, they may have to call the Central Guard.
‘How to… ….’
It was around the time Jennie Earl was racking his brains to figure out the best move.
Quaaa
I feel a large amount of demonic energy exploding not far away. Surprised, Jenny Earl turned his horse’s head and found the form of Magi soaring in the form of a dark cloud.
Others wouldn’t have been able to know that the demonic energy had exploded, let alone the form of that demonic energy, but in the eyes of Jenial, who had studied blood magic and demonic energy for the past several years, it was very visible.
‘The area was correct, so the direction was wrong.’
Jeniel looked back at Dersal, sobbing.

“Gather your soldiers right now and follow me. Now that I have a rough idea of where the assistant is.”
“Yes? How to do that…….”
“Did I just ask you a question?”
Dersal lowered his head hastily as Jenny Earl blatantly frowned at him. Because I thought I shouldn’t go against Jenial’s planting.
“Sir, sorry! I will assemble the soldiers right now!”
Having said that, Dersal turned the reins and kicked the horse’s side. Hey! Jenny Earl, who was watching Dersal galloping away, also hastily turned his horse’s head.

“Keugh…… !”
Maggie Nartine narrowed her eyes as she attacked from all sides. Occasionally, there were demons who scattered demonic energy and made their vision dizzy, but Radne’s was different.
If the overflow of demons shown by other Demons is like the gently spreading waves on the shore, the explosion of magic shown by Radne is like a huge wave in the middle of a stormy sea.
In the Magi Sea, Nartine was a ship struggling not to capsize. In an instant, all sides were engulfed in darkness made of demonic energy, so there would be no expression like this.
“You…… You’re not just a high-ranking demon!”
Nartine, struggling to regain her composure, cried out loudly, but there was no answer. She tries to locate her through Radne’s voice, but it doesn’t work either.
It seemed that he had never fought a human before, but he instinctively knew what to do and what not to do during a fight.
That was absurd, so Nartine laughed. As expected, no matter how much he thought about it, the demon in front of him had to be killed before it could grow further.
“Light! Burn the darkness!”
A flash of light explodes with Nartine’s prayer. The light that bloomed inside Magi was swallowed up by the darkness again, but Nartine didn’t care.
“There you are!”
The moment the darkness lifted, I saw Radne closing her eyes in surprise at the vast light. Nartine, who did not miss the opportunity, kicked off the ground and ran.
As the distance quickly narrows, the sword Nartine is holding emits a stronger and stronger light. Nartine, engulfed in ecstasy, swung her sword at Radne, who barely opened her eyes.
Hooung!
It was the moment I thought I had been cut.
Woe!
Radne’s severed body turns into smoke and disappears. Could it have been a trap? You weren’t discovered, but pretended to be discovered?
How can you say that you are already using such a special trick? Confused, Nartine drew her sword and at the same time slashed something approaching from behind.
Kahang!
The jaws of a wolf made of demonic energy are ripped apart and rolled to the ground. It was to block Radne’s surprise attack, but Nartine could not be relieved at all.
They knew that the one wolf that Radne had just sent out was meant to fool them. Taking a deep breath and being wary of her surroundings, Nartine snapped his fingers to create an orb of light.
A sphere of light floats above Nartine’s hand and illuminates the surroundings in a dim light. There, a good ten wolves were growling, baring their teeth.
“hahahaha… ….”
Looking at Radne, who is standing leisurely behind the wolf, makes me laugh out loud. Radne looked at Nartine and quietly opened his mouth.
“Ask.”
At the same time as Radne’s command, the ten wolves that were waiting jumped in at once. Others would have suffered without being able to properly deal with it, but Nartine was not.
Chack!
After cutting off the mouth of the wolf that approached first, continue swinging your sword. Every time the light flashed, the wolves fell out with big and small wounds.
Although she could have lost in terms of strength, Nartine was one step ahead in the technique of handling power. After killing a few wolves, Nartine pretended to kill the next wolf and twisted his ankle.
Boom!
Nartine, who spurred the ground and bounced off like his bullet, heads for Radne. Radne, not knowing that Nartine would suddenly rush at him, hastily twisted his body.
However, it was too late.
Seouk─
The sharpened sword of light cuts his side, causing blood to splatter. Radne threw herself at Nartine, even while biting her teeth in his pain.
Nartine, who didn’t know that Radne would rush at you without avoiding it, panicked and let go of his sword. Then his body leans back and falls to the floor.
Kudangtang─
The two fell to the floor and continued to fight for dominance. It was a dog fight, hitting the opponent’s face with his fist and hitting his side.
It was a truly ugly and desperate fight, but it was impossible to be polite and stylish in fighting for survival. After a series of fistfights, it was none other than Radne who gained the upper hand.
“Heh, heh… ….”
Ladne, riding on Nartine’s body, exhaled a rough breath. Blood trickled down from her torn side and dripped from the solid line across her cheek.
However, Radne could not pay any attention to such things. He only strangled Nartine with the single-mindedness that he must simply kill the enemy in front of his eyes.
“Keep, ugh…… !”
Nartine raised her trembling hand and grabbed Radne’s shoulder, but to no avail. Radne’s power, which opened his magic, was so strong that even an official knight could not overcome it.
“Why, why…… !”
Now, if you kill Nartine, your victory will be confirmed. It was a situation where he could be happy, but Radne was holding back his tears and gnashing his teeth.
“Why can’t I live a normal life…… !”
For unknown reasons, entry into the Demon Realm is prohibited. His father, who controls the demon realm, did not want Radne to return to the demon realm, so he could not enter in any way.
So, while living in Jedo, he had to face a lot of discrimination and contempt for people of different races. If the different races were like this, if they revealed that they were demons, they would not be able to escape execution.
Even if he happened to meet a demon in the same situation as himself in the island, Radne could not reveal his identity. Because he made a promise with his father not to tell anyone about his true identity.
So, Radne couldn’t belong to either the Demon Realm or the Empire. He yearns for a normal life, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t even get close to it.
“I, what did I do wrong… ….”
He lived because he was born. Because he lived, he sought happiness. He wanted happiness, so he wanted a normal life. However, all of that was like luxury to Radne.
As she thinks that she must continue to live that kind of life, the power that has been strangling Nartine slowly begins to loosen.
Wouldn’t he have to worry about unreasonable things if he died here to the Heretic Judge? It was the moment when I was about to give up on life.
─ This way!
Jenny Earl’s voice from afar makes his shoulders tremble.
‘…… Jeniel?’
He didn’t care what happened to him now. However, he did not want to cause a nuisance to Jenny Earl, who kept his identity secret.
If you find yourself trying to kill the Heretic Judge, Xenial, who is connected with you, will also suffer great damage.
After making her decision, Radne let go of Nartine’s throat and stood up. Radne, who was breathing heavily, hurriedly ran in the opposite direction of Jenial.
“Cerr, kuck…… !”
Nartine, who was revived thanks to him, turned his body sideways and touched the floor. Thanks to Radne’s escape, Magi was quickly dispersing, but her physical condition was unreasonable.
After a few minutes of breathing, the sound of his horse’s hooves shook the ground and the guards rushed in. Nartine, who raised her gaze with difficulty, found Jeniel following them.
“Oh…… Aren’t you Young master Jeniel?”
Nartine smiled lowly and slowly got up from her seat by putting strength into his hands on the floor. Nartine barely regained her smile and looked up at Jeniel.
“My name is Nartine, the Heretic Judge who has been dispatched to the Empire under the order of the Holy See. It’s nothing else, your assistant turned out to be a heretic-“
“Seize it.”
A question appears on Nartine’s face. I couldn’t understand what Jeniel had just said.
“Jacked? Did you say it’s an arrest now? Me, God’s agent on earth?”
“Yes. You broke into the mansion without my permission and kidnapped my assistant, who was directly authorized by the imperial family. It can be said that the sin is very heavy.”
“Yes? What crazy things are you talking about…….”
As Jenial winks, Dersal and several guards dismount and approach Nartine. Nartine, who saw them, contorted his face and shouted.
“It’s rude! I am the Heretic Judge who was dispatched here under direct orders from the Holy See! Aren’t you guys really afraid of God! If you come closer than that, know that you will be punished! Again, I-“
Thump! Nartine, crushed by tremendous gravity, falls to his knees. Cool! When Nartine, unable to overcome the shock to her organs, vomited up a sip of blood, Jenial murmured coldly.
“This is an empire, not a holy kingdom. Also, you are a foreigner. Don’t forget that, as Her Highness’s teacher, I have the authority to expedite you in some cases.”
Nartine, gasping for breath, glanced at Jenial. His eyes were trembling as if he would collapse at any moment, but the miasma did not escape.
“Soon…… The saintess…… You will arrive at the islands…… When that time comes, the sin you are now committing…….”
“That is my own business.”
Perfect! Jennie Earle snaps his fingers, and Nartine slumps to the floor. As the gravity that weighed down his body disappeared, a feeling of extreme exhaustion came.
The guards, who were noticing Jenial, walked toward Nartine with a rope. Arresting the Heretic Judge was a little awkward, but going against Jeniel’s words was more frightening.
From noble mtl dot com
“Go, stay still.”
“It will be over soon.”
Jeniel looked down at the guards arresting the heretic judge, then turned his attention to the bloodstains dripping on the floor.
‘Radne… ….’
Somehow, I had to find this stupid woman.
