Happy Reading~
===========
A few minutes before the princess disappeared, at this time, the figure of a woman could be seen.
That woman, she could be said to be very beautiful.
She had eyes as beautiful as purplish stone, far beyond anything else.
At the same time, the color of her hair, shows that she is not an ordinary woman.
Something that, only upper-class nobles generally had
It is as white as snow, like in fantasy films in general.
Even so, her face, did not show the slightest visible emotion.
What is there, is a feeling full of guilt.
She thought, that all of this was her fault.
If she had not decided to leave the empire, her guards would not have had to be killed.
But well, what happened can’t be changed anymore.
Therefore, what she had to do now was to escape as quickly as possible.
In this woman’s point of view, she was afraid that I would be killed by that assassin.
After all, I was a stranger she had just met.
If she had known this sooner, she wouldn’t have offered me a ride.
’I have no other choice, I won’t let this person die...’ she thought to herself, not wanting me to die in a place like this.
If I died, she was afraid she would feel even more guilty.
After all, in this woman’s point of view, I am not a warrior.
Of course, it wouldn’t be good for me to fight against an assassin.
Moreover, fighting to protect someone like her.
Which, does not benefit me at all.
Without realizing it, the woman, she started using a technique.
This technique, can be said to be a fraudulent technique.
In essence, she intended to eliminate all existing sounds.
This was done, so that I would not be aware of her presence.
Otherwise, I will become the target of that assassin.
In the end, I will definitely lose my life.
After all, from the start, my plan was to start my new life.
Therefore, it is not strange that this woman thinks that I should not be killed.
If I die, then I won’t be able to start my new life.
...
Back to the present, visible, in front of the woman.
There was a man, that man, he was none other than the murderer who previously attacked them.
It could say, he was the person who killed Berdik and the others.
If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have lost their lives.
"Hello Saintess~, I have come to take your life. With you killed, I believe the empire will be in a state of chaos." said the man, not forgetting to greet the woman in front of him.
He knew, knew that this woman was very important to the empire.
If she died, it was certain that the empire would be in a state of chaos.
Unfortunately, this man, he didn’t know that this woman was the Emperor’s daughter.
If he had known, there was no way he would have dared to attack this woman.
"I know... Because of that, I came to give my life to you. But on one condition, I want you to let that man go."
"Oh..." for a moment, the man, he couldn’t hold back his shocked expression.
Initially, he thought that it was impossible for this woman to come voluntarily.
But apparently, she came only to ask for an exchange.
And the exchange she asked for, was to let a man go.
And again, that man, he was none other than the person who previously informed them about the attack he launched.
Still, it was impossible for this assassin to let me go.
However, from the start, he swore that he would definitely kill me.
Plus, the fact that I can feel the presence of someone like him.
It’s enough to prove it all, knowing that I’m a dangerous man.
He was afraid, afraid that one day I would become his most potential enemy.
If that happens, I might not be able to be killed by someone like him again.
"Ah... I understand, I could let that man live. But, because of recent events, it’s impossible for me to do that!"
It’s true, even the princess, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
From the start, she already knew that it was impossible for this man to let me go.
However, my fate was decided after I took her away from that place.
If not for that, there would be no reason for this man to kill me.
But yeah, that’s just a guess.
"Goodbye, Saintess..." Before the man’s attack was about to hit the princess, I suddenly appeared in front of them
*Ting!-*
Heard, a loud crashing sound around where we were.
"You… Why are you here?" Saintess asked, seeing that it was me.
Seen, that both of her legs, were involuntarily starting to tremble in fear.
In fact, she had accepted to be killed by that man.
But, I actually appeared at a time like this.
Really, the other side of the princess, she was amazed by my heroic actions.
"As I thought, you are not an ordinary boy. Who are you?" the man asked, unable to resist asking who I was.
It should, be impossible for someone like me to block the attack he launched.
’How painful...! I feel like all my blood vessels are going to burst!’ I screamed in my heart, unable to stop myself from cursing myself.
Before I arrived at this place, I had already calculated all this.
At the same time, I also didn’t forget to ask for recommendations from the system.
[Due to an emergency, the body will be upgraded until it reaches its limit.]
[Starting Body Enchament buildup.]
[17/100% progress in Body Enchament.]
"Cough-" unable to hold it in any longer, I unconsciously let out a mouthful of blood from my mouth.
I felt, that my whole body would break down at any time.
’This is more painful than death.’ I thought, realizing that pain is much scarier than death.
If I die, I won’t have to feel this kind of pain.
But well, I have no choice but to do this.
However, the man’s arrow attacks, were no joke at all.
As if, my body could break at any time.
Fortunately, I am currently being assisted by the system.
Somehow, I feel that I have become stronger.
Maybe, it’s because the system is pushing my body to its limits?
Either way, the price for improving my body is life.
From the start, the system had warned me not to use this power.
Otherwise, my body could be crushed in the middle of the road.
’My heart keeps beating, my blood vessels flow non-stop, my brain never once stops working. As if trying to adapt to all this.’ as time goes by, I feel that my whole body is working faster and faster.
In fact, I couldn’t breathe regularly.
If it continues like this, I’m afraid I’ll lose my consciousness.
"You’re great, kid... But it’s a shame, it looks like your body won’t be able to stand up again." the man commented, knowing that I had reached my limit.
Without wasting any time, he started attacking me from above.
Still, I couldn’t possibly stay where I was.
In a split second, I started to block the man’s sword attack.
"Aghhh...!" even so, the side effects of withstanding this man’s attack still remained.
It didn’t matter whether I could withstand his attack or not, because of the difference in strength between us.
I will definitely be defeated, showing how weak I am.
