Chapter 72: The Kingdom Project VIII (2)


    Haaah


    At the moment Isolda was waiting for Bahamut in the royal castle. Even though it was just a simple matter, there was an unusual tension in her mind.


    <em>GoodnessI never thought that the day woulde when I would have to participate in an act like this</em>


    Isolda smiled bitterly as she looked back at the ridiculous things she had done so far.


    Perhaps there was a possibility that this attempt would end in utter failure as well, but even so, Isolda was honestly feeling a bit expectant.


    <em>It would be fineif I can get into a small corner of his hearteven just a little bit</em>


    While hoping that Yurias n would go well, Isolda began to feel a bit nervous.


    And a momentter, the figure of Bahamut finally began to appear in her sight.


    Even inside the rtively safe castle, he was not alone. He was apanied by Ophelia, who was his trusted escort. However, even that part had already been calcted in Yurias n.


    <em>Really, the more I look at him, the more he reminds me of someonewell, maybe thats why I fell for him</em>


    With a wry smile, Isolda spoke to Bahamut in a calm tone as usual, You are here? Then let us depart.


    Uhokay.


    Bahamut seemed to be a little ufortable with her presence.


    The way he acted hurt Isoldas heart, but she didnt let it show on her face.


    And so, the three of them left the castle as nned.


    At that instantsomewhere out of sight, there was a pair of eyes watching the three people very closely.


    They are moving as nned. Follow the n.


    All right.


    As soon as the words ended, those who moved in the shadows began to act. Covering their faces with masks or cloths, they quickly crossed the building and surrounded Bahamuts party from all sides.


    And


    ***


    Hhmmph!


    Yes? Whats wrong Ophelia?


    Ophelia suddenly pulled out her greatsword while passing by a street corner.


    Looking at her demeanor, Bahamuts expression turned serious, and at the same time, Isolda gulped nervously.


    Whatwhat is it?


    .


    The next moment, a number of people suddenly appeared and surrounded them. They were all hiding their identities with masks while holding daggers in their hands.


    Looking at the assants, Ophelia straightened her sword and said, I will take care of them. Master, please evacuate to a safe ce for now.


    Ophelia quickly analyzed the situation and made the best decision while looking at the mana emanating from the opponents dagger.


    In response, Bahamut nodded and returned to the direction of the castle with Isolda.


    Since the distance from this ce to the castle was not that far, he judged that it would be more safe to head there.


    After sending Bahamut and Isolda away, Ophelia faced the enemies who seemed to be assassins by herself. The street corner was not very wide, so it wasnt suited for a prolonged defensive battle.


    <em>Once I buy them enough time, there shouldnt be any big problems. But these guys are quite bold to attack in broad daylight like this</em>


    ording to Bahamuts words, those in front of her were most likely assassins sent by the nobles and the Sakiel Knights who were not happy with his actions.


    <em>No matter who sent themif I catch one and tear apart their l1mbs, Ill be able to know the truth.</em>


    Ophelia waited for the opponents to attack with such thoughts.


    uh?


    The next moment, the assassins who had gathered the mana condensation on their daggers suddenly ran away.


    Ophelia was dazed for a moment at the sight of them disappearing as if someone had flipped a switch.


    Whatwhat! Why?


    It was an iprehensible situation where the enemies, who were obviously ready to attack while releasing their mana, suddenly disappeared.


    It was as if the opponents had given up on the attack after recognizing that Ophelia was a formidable enemy.


    However, there was another possibility


    Ehno wayit cant be


    And the next moment, a thought passed through Ophelias mind, as fear began to settle on her face.
