The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 84

Dane, who hurriedly followed after him as he opened the door and went out without saying a word, raised his voice.

“Wait! You’re not going alone right now, are you?”

“That’s right.”

Carl half-turned to him and affirmed. Dane frowned.

“I know how you feel, but it’s too dangerous. Wait and come with us―”

“There is no time for that.”

Karl firmly refused and quickly moved his legs again.

‘It’s all my fault. The bag and everything, they should never have left their owner’s side from the beginning… ‘

I couldn’t just sit still when I thought that I could lose someone again because of my mistake.

As he was leaving the duke’s residence alone, a cat jumped in front of him.

“Meow.”

Carl stopped in his tracks at the low cry and looked down into her clear blue-green eyes.

Geumdongi, who had been treated by Mandy, extended her front paw to him.

“Do you want to go together?”

“Meow.”

“… … Yeah, you probably feel quite guilty too. But don’t get in the way.”

The sword quickly lifted the golden bowl and placed it on his shoulder.

Geumdongi sharpened his claws and grabbed the collar tightly.

They quickly left the duke’s residence and disappeared without a trace.

The priest told me to leave the people behind. I looked around, unable to hide my bewilderment at his reaction.

There were a truly diverse range of people locked up in prison.

From children to the elderly.

They were either crouching and crying or staring into space with despairing faces.

When I saw that sight, my mouth moved on its own.

“I will take responsibility.”

He broke the heavy silence flowing between him and the priest and declared.

“I will take responsibility to make sure that the people here don’t grab your ankles, so let’s all escape together.”

That was a mission condition, but I couldn’t just ignore the people who might die right in front of me.

The priest looked at me as if he couldn’t understand me.

“Why on earth would you do something like that?”

“Should there be a reason for one person to save another? And in such a difficult and dangerous situation?”

“Yes, I have to have a reason.”

“Then just think of it as an instinct. Like when you see a child who has fallen and is crying, you go over and help them up.”

The priest stared at me with unreadable eyes.

If you have something to say, say it out loud, not telepathically.

I opened my eyes wide and met his gaze, and the chief priest finally surrendered.

“Do whatever Youngae wants.”

“Then please wait a moment!”

He quickly walked around and opened the prison door with the key.

“Oh my, thank you.”

“D, I’m finally out of prison…!”

“I miss my mom.”

People who came out of prison were moved to tears.

I signaled to them to be quiet and said,

“From now on, everyone must move carefully. You must not make any noise. Do you understand?”

People nodded. I looked at the priest.

“But do you know where the way out is?”

“I know.”

“Then let’s take the lead.”

So we slowly climbed the stairs and escaped from the dungeon.

The entrance door could also be opened with the key brought by the priest.

It seemed like he had really prepared thoroughly to find an apprentice priest.

I thought as I followed behind the priest.

‘Isn’t it surprisingly easy to succeed?’

It was a mistake to overlook that this was the way to raise the flag.

“Huh? What?! What are you guys doing!”

The peace was suddenly shattered when, as we were walking along, we suddenly encountered a man from the slave trade who jumped out from the hallway.

“Eww!”

“We have to run away!”

People who had been quietly heeding my words not to make a fuss began to scream in panic.

“Everyone, calm down!”

No matter how much I tried to calm him down, it was no use.

‘I’m screwed.’

I closed my eyes tightly for a moment, sighed, and then quickly came to my senses.

There’s nothing we can do about it now that it’s come to this.

“Everyone, run!”

There is no choice but to run away for dear life.

We ran like crazy while the man called his comrades.

This isn’t some kind of Run X-Man!

“Your Majesty! Are we going this way?!”

“No, I was supposed to go into the hallway where that guy came out earlier!”

“So where are we going?!”

“I don’t know!”

What the hell.

I felt a deep sense of defeat, but since I couldn’t go back now, I ran forward.

But escaping from slavery was really not easy.

‘Crossroads… …!’

A fork in the road appeared before us, as we were pressed for time.

“Where should I go… … .”

In the moment of hesitation, a group of slave traders suddenly followed behind.

“Found them! Arrest them now!”

“Don’t miss a single one!”

“Catch them all!”

At that moment, when there was not even time to think for a moment, the chief priest pointed to the left and said.

“It’s going to split here. Everyone, go left. I’ll go right.”

“Yes? Your Majesty, are you alone?”

“There’s a high chance that he’ll follow me anyway. Theo, who needs to be disposed of as scrap, is with me.”

The chief priest smiled, either cynically or with a bitter smile, and then suddenly shouted.

“Go quickly!”

At those words, people began to run hesitantly down the left path.

I did not follow them and stayed next to the priest.

“What are you doing, Charophée Youngae? Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

“I did. You said that the Lord Chief Priest volunteered to be the bait.”

“But why… … .”

“I’m trying to be bait too. It looks like someone asked me to sell them here, so wouldn’t it be more likely that they’d chase me first?”

The chief priest could not deny what I said and just frowned.

I said, grabbing his wrist.

“We can’t afford to stay like this! We need to run away quickly!”

The chief priest glanced behind him and eventually followed my words.

Meanwhile, all the knights were gathered in front of Duke Diat’s residence.

As Dane came down from the room with his sword in his hand, Bartholomew and Benjamin, who had been waiting, greeted him.

“You haven’t heard from Deborah yet?”

“I didn’t tell him because I didn’t want to upset him since he’s already busy.”

“Good job, Grandpa. I’ll rescue Shailene, so don’t worry either of you.”

It was the moment when he was about to go out with a strong smile on his face.

“No, Dane. I will take command.”

Benjamin, who had been crossing his arms and looking worried, suddenly declared.

Bartholomew and Dane looked at him in surprise.

Benjamin was a man who enjoyed swinging a sword like Dane when he was young, but after inheriting the dukedom, he became more like a scholar.

Dane couldn’t hide his surprise at the news that he, who had put down his sword in pursuit of peace and tranquility, would step forward after a long time.

“Father… … directly?”

“Okay. Paul, bring me my sword.”

Paul, who had been standing there blankly, started to move half a beat later.

Looking at the dumbfounded expressions on the people’s faces, Benjamin recalled a memory from long ago.

‘You don’t know what I’m thinking! I’ll take care of my own family!’

When Diane was opposed to her marriage to the Count of Charophet, she turned her back on her family and ran away from home.

Since then, Benjamin has thought countless times: If only I had dragged the knight back then and brought my brother back.

Diane might not be dead.

Now that so much time has passed, it was an assumption that was no longer valid.

instead…….

‘… … That’s because you don’t know. They and I can never be a real family.’

It was quite a coincidence that Benjamin overheard Shailene and Carl’s conversation.

As I was returning home after working late at night on paperwork, I saw a ray of light streaming in through a slightly open crack in the door.

I went to close it hesitantly and heard Shailene’s words.

Strangely, Benjamin felt his heart sink.

Because saying that we can never be a real family sounds exactly like saying that I will leave like Diane someday.

Benjamin, who returned to his room in confusion, stopped when he saw the fountain pen stuck in his chest while washing his face.

It was a gift from Shailene.

Just a little while ago, I used it to sign documents.

That day, Benjamin spent the night wide awake, fiddling with his fountain pen, his mind in disarray.

And now that Shailene was really in danger of being wronged, he finally admitted it.

“Shailene is my niece.”

I couldn’t lose her like Diane, and like my wife.

Even more so because he has never done anything right as an uncle.

“I will go and rescue him myself.”

He declared resolutely, took the sword from Paul, and went out.

Tears welled up in Bartholomew’s eyes as he felt his son’s change of heart.

And Dane followed his father, who was as big and strong as a mountain, and smiled faintly.

The knights who had been lined up bowed their heads to Benjamin.

Benjamin spoke solemnly to them.

“Our goal is simple: catch the slavers and rescue Shailene.”

Immediately afterwards, the Knights’ thunderous reply shook the duke’s mansion.
