Chapter 139

“Britney!”

</aside>

Ricardo turned around, his face was turning pale.

Without a heavy burden on his back, he desperately struggled to pull me towards the other side of the narrow passage.

However, my body was stuck tightly between the walls, no matter how hard he pulled.

“That’s terrible! It’s too late!”

The pursuers were gradually approaching, closer and closer.

Even if it was hard to recognize who they were, they seemed like servants and guard soldiers of those nobilities.

These experts at war were dashing to me, who was stuck in the road.

(Heeeee! Nora and Merrill were truly related to the matter, so I wasn’t a lucky girl. It was just one of those days!)

I tried my best to escape from between the walls.

Thanks to Ricardo, I wormed my way through to the end of the road, only a step away from success.

“Ricardo, you go first!”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Or I’ll be angry. There must a way to help you.”

“But now you’re bare-handed…”

“For emergency, I carry a dagger at all time. Though it isn’t reliable, it’s better than to have nothing.”

Slipping under me in between, Ricardo confronted our enemies on his own.

I twisted my fat neck, trying to peep at the situation behind me.

(Gynuuu! Pulled it out, my body!)

It was my upper arms and hips that were stuck.

(If I crossed your body a little more, then I would be able to escape. Further, further… Gynuuu!)

As I went all out to advance forward, Ricardo had begun fighting those pursuers who chased after us.

“Ricardo!”

</aside>

As I screamed and wriggled, I managed to turn sideways.

(Oh! I did it!)

If so, then I could walk sideways through the walls.

Hurrying across the eastern courtyard with crutches, I shouted to Ricardo opposite the passage.

“I escaped without incident! Ricardo, you can… Ehhhh?”

When I turned that way, Ricardo had already knocked all them down.

He defeated our enemies in an instant.

(How strong Ricardo was! When did he become so strong?)

He passed the narrow road smoothly and came right in front of me.

“Britney, are you fine?”

“No, that should be my line. I was just stuck in walls. As you can see, I’m fine. Ricardo, are you Ok?”

“Ah! That’s not a big deal.”

“No, aren’t they experts at fighting?”

“I practice sword every day. This time, it happens that the opponents were weak.”

During the short period of time, Ricardo had become stronger and stronger.

Amazing progress speed.

(In the near future, he might be able to step up into brother Ryuze’s onii-sama’s level.)

As we talked, Princess Angela and Emirya ran towards us, together with some soldiers who trained in the area.

(No, no, no, it’s too dangerous. Angela and Emirya shouldn’t come over.)

Nora and Her Highness Merrill had been protected by them, safe and sound.

“Britney, Ricardo, are you all right? Where are the attackers?”

</aside>

“They’re over there, Emirya.”

Hearing Emirya’s words, Ricardo pointed to the men who fell behind.

Angela ordered the team to bind them.

“After that, it’s up to us to deal with it. Because it happened in the palace, we’ll take care of it cautiously.”

“Thank you very much. Princess Angela, I want to talk to you about it.”

“What?”

“Her Highness Merrill and Nora, they saw some illegal issues. For that, you were chased by the attackers. In order to ensure their safety, I want to get accurate information from both of them.”

“Alright. Call brother Marlow here, too. Britney and Lord Ricardo, you’re also involved in the matter, so please join the meeting together with us. You two may also be in danger.”

“Okay… “

What Merrill witnessed in this incident was still unclear.

But maybe she saw something related to Marlow’s issue.

In the manga, Marlow’s matter had passed for about two months, but those bad guys’ scheme should have progressed earlier.

(Merrill’s witness took place just a little earlier. Because Merrill saw that scene between Ricardo and me, she came across the deal as she escaped from the eastern yard.)

With regard to the murder of the crown prince, it was time for serious efforts.

(Although I felt worried about the matter that happened in the manga, it would be safer to be preemptive at the moment. Who I could tell this matter to included brother Ryuze onii-sama, Ricardo and Emirya in this country.)

Thinking it over, I decided to confess the truth to these three people.

It was better to have more partners.

(There was a high possibility that Emirya had already known the truth from his brother Serunya.)

They might laugh at me, but there was still a possibility that they would take some actions.

As thinking about it, I headed for Nora and Merrill’s refuge room.\n \n
