Engagement Ceremony Finish
Jamit lightly shook the teacup.
Somehow established the Information Bureau. Actually the system was also in the middle of being established.
‘If the deputy director knows would be disappointed.’
Then, lemon scent faintly blew. Raising the head, Galahad was sitting.
“Make sound and go around.”
“Because habit.”
At Galahad’s indifferent answer Jamit softly laughed.
“The face is good. Slept soundly?”
“Had a good dream. Ah, will leave the seat for a moment.”
“Now?”
Jamit’s brows furrowed. Although a little leisure because ended the engagement ceremony, now it was the early Information Bureau.
“The timing is not good.”
“Fine. Because Jamit is there.”
At the shameless Galahad’s words Jamit softly laughed.
“Seems a big matter?”
“Quite a big matter.”
Jamit did not further press and nodded.
“The magic tower would be fine entrusting to the two elders. Mana stones distribute to the kingdom alliance side through First. Discuss with staff Theodore and the crow. Do not put in Korton as much as possible.”
“Korton?”
“If saying to the crow would know.”
Galahad twisted the corners of his mouth. At that Jamit remembered in the head and nodded.
“Because processed the retirement team, the Information Bureau would not be able to move for a while.”
“Because there is also Effort, the headquarters would be fine.”
“Because dawn looks at the Grand Duke’s mood, if not leaving the Grand Duke’s castle would be fine. Live inside the castle as much as possible.”
Galahad’s plan was thorough as always. Even if Galahad leaves the seat there seemed no blank.
Jamit examined Galahad. Excited look was full on that face. Jamit suddenly became curious.
On earth what matter for Galahad to show such an appearance.
“What matter?”
At Jamit’s question Galahad’s lips briefly stopped. Soon making the unique leisurely smile and twitched his finger.
“It is a secret.”
Jamit did not further dig.
Galahad who finished smoking one cigarette stood from the seat.
Jamit suddenly a question rose.
If Galahad goes—.
“······Tom?”
“Tom is the Special Mission Unit. Have to go together.”
The face of Jamit who was peaceful until now furrowed.
That Galahad leaves the seat could understand.
However—.
“Tom no. Leave Tom.”
Could not send Tom.
“Hmm, Tom is the Special Mission Unit. Have to go together.”
“If taking Tom, how do I.”
“Now agents quite many. First, Pumpkin, Handsome, even James. More than thought.”
“All shit lumps··· no, field agents. Rather take the four and leave Tom.”
At the intense reaction of Jamit who rarely reveals emotions Galahad let out a groan.
“How living in the North without Tom.”
“Sorry but, this side also needs Tom.”
Jamit’s face fully furrowed. It was Jamit who did not give strength to the face saying wrinkles form—.
“Do not worry. Will return soon.”
Galahad hurriedly left the seat.
“Leave Tom!”
Jamit’s tearing voice followed behind.
Galahad urgently pushed and closed the headquarters door.
To think Jamit’s resistance is so strong. It seemed Tom’s addictiveness is more severe than thought.
‘Have to attach even the crow.’
Because the crow was quite smart. If attaching the crow seemed somewhat fine.
Then, a familiar fragrance blew from somewhere. A fragrance sweet yet somehow stinging—.
Turning the head, the imperial princess standing nobly was seen. The imperial princess was in a state of wearing a slightly plain dress.
As gazes met, the imperial princess laughed like a fully bloomed flower.
‘Came just in time.’
Was thinking of going to look directly anyway, yet coming first—.
‘Brought the Amberutan Count too.’
Certainly a woman with sense. Galahad looked around. Because around the headquarters the presence was few. There was no one looking either.
Galahad approached the imperial princess. The imperial princess quietly waited in that place.
As approaching closely the imperial princess widely laughed.
“Now how do I?”
The imperial princess sought the answer as if natural.
“Why asking me that?”
“Because my life is your responsibility.”
There was no small gap in that voice. Firm. Galahad lightly clicked his tongue.
“Or kill me. If dying in your hand, that way would be happy.”
The imperial princess raised her own neck. The white and thin neck was fully revealed. Exactly a voice as if throwing a tantrum.
Although knew originally a crazy woman, not to this degree. It seemed the obsession is becoming more severe.
Even if killing the imperial princess, receiving the chase of the imperial guard was all. It was good not to entangle with the imperial guard.
From the beginning no thought of killing either. The imperial princess was the only string connected to the imperial family.
It was correct to leave the imperial princess alive. Galahad lightly shook his head.
“Return and stick with the 4th Imperial Prince. Because the 4th Imperial Prince is also in an urgent situation would welcome.”
“Understood.”
The imperial princess brightly laughed and nodded.
Galahad turned the gaze to the Amberutan Count. The Amberutan Count looked up at Galahad with a furrowed face.
“Father, kind eyes.”
The Amberutan Count did not laugh. It was a man with stubbornness. Galahad looked down at the Amberutan Count.
Disgust rose in the Amberutan Count’s eyes. It was not eye light matching a biological father. There was no particular correlation.
“Dirty magic guy.”
At the voice full of hostility Galahad laughed with a keul keul. It was a derogatory name hearing after a long time.
Galahad directly stared at the Amberutan Count’s eyes. The Amberutan Count’s eyes shook.
“Tell the 4th Imperial Prince. Catch the opportunity correctly.”
Galahad took out a box from the pocket and handed. It was a box containing the finger and ring of the prince of the kingdom alliance.
The 4th Imperial Prince was a figure opposing the 3rd Imperial Prince. Because the 4th Imperial Prince born with the temperament of a sage king and the 3rd Imperial Prince a promising tyrant—.
“The Grand Duke and the kingdom alliance will raise complaints regarding the 3rd Imperial Prince. Because the 3rd Imperial Prince’s position would narrow, even the 4th Imperial Prince would be able to sufficiently catch.”
The Amberutan Count was not a stupid one. Rather close to the smart side. There was no way not knowing the value of this finger.
The Amberutan Count swallowed dry saliva.
“What is the reason?”
“Because the 4th Imperial Prince quite suited the heart. Let’s see as investment.”
It was the truth. The 4th Imperial Prince was full of the temperament of a sage king. If Galahad could choose the next emperor, would have decided as the 4th Imperial Prince.
Eudeudeuk, the imperial princess’s laughter became even thicker. Why? Galahad furrowed his eyes.
“What wanting?”
The Amberutan Count asked in a trembling voice. Because this was a very necessary card to the 4th Imperial Prince.
“The 4th Imperial Prince has to hold hands with the imperial princess.”
“Has to hold hands?”
The Amberutan Count’s eyes narrowed. It seemed calculating even at this moment.
“Would have to move diligently. Because the 3rd Imperial Prince said would destroy the Amberutan Count family.”
“The 3rd Imperial Prince?! Why?”
The Amberutan Count’s face became pale. It was the Amberutan Count who values the family more than oneself. The reason chased Galahad was also because of the family’s legitimacy.
“On earth why the 3rd Imperial Prince our family? There was no contact at all—.”
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth instead of answering. Astonishment rose on the Amberutan Count’s face.
“You··· you touched the 3rd Imperial Prince?!”
“Father, speak prettily.”
“Keueuk—.”
The Amberutan Count made a sound of breath going over.
Galahad turned the gaze. The imperial princess was a face expecting something.
Probably expecting going to the imperial family together—.
Although had the thought of visiting the imperial family because of the emperor, not now.
“Stay quietly in the imperial family. Next I will go.”
“Will wait.”
The Amberutan Count blankly looked at Galahad leaving without lingering.
Galahad’s words that oneself will go next somehow cool. Felt quite dangerous.
Then—.
“Father?”
At the imperial princess’s low call the Amberutan Count’s face became pale.
“Listen well.”
The imperial princess started the story always doing again. It was the story regarding why twisted with Galahad.
And as always—.
“Why did that one get angry at me?”
Asked the reason. The Amberutan Count chewed his lips.
Although a story heard to the extent of memorizing now—.
“I also do not know.”
It was sincere.
“Come, will say again. Listen well. Father.”
Useless.

“Magic Realm?”
Adrianne who returned in armor attire asked in an indifferent voice.
“Yes, have to enter Magic Realm.”
“Magic Realm is a dangerous place.”
“I know. Isn’t it our first date place.”
“Clearly said that is not a date.”
Adrianne’s eyes became strict.
“Yes, was not. Such memory keeps flickering. Anyway, have to enter Magic Realm a bit.”
“······Is there a reason?”
Adrianne seriously asked. Galahad pondered while looking at those upright blue pupils.
If summarizing the reason Galahad goes to Magic Realm, because a high-rank demon race fell into danger.
No matter how saying that well it was an explanation hard to accept easily.
There was a possibility the matter becomes more bothersome for nothing.
So—.
“Didn’t promise with you. Saying will find the previous 1st Battalion Captain who disappeared in Magic Realm.”
Galahad smiled bitterly and said.
Whether not thought Adrianne’s eyebrows greatly shook.
“Really helping?”
Adrianne’s voice rarely rose. That expressionless broke and desperation leaked. It seemed the previous 1st Battalion Captain is a quite important figure.
“Of course. Now an engaged relationship.”
It was not a lie. Because if looking together on the way going it becomes. It was a problem of the order of before and after.
Along with that curious about the previous 1st Battalion Captain too. Because if Adrianne looking until now there would clearly be a reason.
“Ah! Really—.”
Adrianne who was rejoicing tightly closed her mouth. The shaking eyebrows stopped. Adrianne shook her head.
“Magic Realm is dangerous.”
Adrianne said while chewing her lips.
Thinking of others’ safety even in the midst of desperation was truly Adrianne-like.
“Fine. Won’t you protect me?”
“But······.”
Adrianne’s eyebrows softly shook. It was a look of conflicting.
“I believe you. Like you believe me.”
Adrianne’s eyes became large. Those eyebrows rose. Soon nodded as if decided.
“Understood. Believe only me.”
Adrianne’s eyes became serious.
“Really thank you.”
Adrianne deeply bowed her head. Galahad furrowed his nose.
It was just that the interests matched.
“And thinking of finding clues regarding the demon race’s king. Because if the demon race’s king would be in Magic Realm.”
“Ah, certainly there is reason. Because what is inside Magic Realm has not yet been revealed.”
Adrianne’s eyebrows stiffened. Soon Adrianne nodded.
“Would have to enter deeply. Will recruit only with elite.”
“Good, I will also take only elite.”
“······Elite?”
“It is the Special Mission Unit story.”
“Ah, the Special Mission Unit.”
Adrianne softly sighed.
“Then depart as soon as preparation ends.”
“Ah, our side originally planned to return to the 1st Battalion so preparation almost ended.”
Adrianne indifferently said.
“We ended earlier though.”
Galahad lightly laughed. Although not confirmed, because Tom is there preparation would have ended.
“Ah, is that so. Then depart right away.”
“Good, Magic Realm outing after a long time.”
“Magic Realm is a dangerous place. Not a place to speak playfully.”
“Understood. Understood.”
Adrianne briefly stopped. Looked at Galahad with a serious face. And deeply bowed her head again.
“Really thank you.”
At Adrianne sincerely expressing thanks twice Galahad slightly poked the crown.
“······!”
Adrianne who became rabbit eyes held her own crown.
“Wanted to poke once from before.”
“······Yes?!”
“Go.”
Galahad moved steps. Dragged Adrianne’s unit that finished preparation, and headed to the Special Mission Unit side.
Although convinced Tom would have already finished preparation, regrettably this time the expectation was wrong.
It was not that Tom was late.
There was just a stupid cause.
“This···! This dog-like horse spit on me!”
“Sir Gilbert! Endure! Why fighting with a horse!”
“The arrogant horse spit on me!”
“So why touching the captain’s horse.”
“Just saying will sit once! This damn horse! Eo eo?! Just now also looked down on me! Tom! Saw just now?!”
“Why fighting with a horse—. everyone looks.”
“Come here! Guy!”
Gilbert was grappling with Galahad’s horse. It seemed preparation delayed while Tom stopped.
Damien who saw Gilbert shook his head with a jeolle jeolle and lifted the staff with a flash. A question rose why held the staff like a sword.
Although nothing happened, Gwen even applauded and praised Damien.
“Elite······. No, going together with the Special Mission Unit too?”
Adrianne asked while looking at Galahad with serious eyes.
Originally was thinking of taking, but now a little pondered.
However, it was a unit for saving the continent. Someday had to fight the demon race’s king.
There was a need to experience in advance.
“Depart first. Because will follow right away.”
Galahad clicked his tongue and headed to Gilbert.
By that time Gilbert was seriously doing an eye fight with the horse.
“Sir Gilbert. What doing.”
“Was taming the arrogant horse’s path. Originally such things have to catch at the beginning to be comfortable to ride.”
Gilbert pointed at the horse and seriously said. Gilbert was sincerely in the middle of taming the horse.
“Why taming the path.”
“In the North all tame like this. So later comfortable to ride—.”
Galahad held out his hand. The horse that was holding its head upright lowered the posture. Exactly as if saying ride comfortably—.
Gilbert opened his mouth with a jjeok. Extreme defeat rose on that face.
Galahad lightly tapped the horse’s neck.
“Why saying to a smart child. Just dislikes an ugly person. Isn’t so?”
The horse long snorted. Gilbert lowly muttered ‘damn horse’.
“Will depart right away. Everyone ride. The destination is Magic Realm.”
At Galahad’s declaration Gilbert’s laughter disappeared in an instant. Soon became a sharp face.
“Thinking of taking all?”
“Yes. Isn’t it the Special Mission Unit.”
“But Gwen and Tom might be dangerous.”
Gilbert said in a low voice. At that Tom raised his hand with a flash. There was a large shield never seen before.
Whether woven magic beast skin, that shield’s form was firm.
“Fine! Because there is a shield woven with magic beast skin, even if cannot attack can block! I will also go!”
Tom said with a fully tense face. Tom’s voice was serious.
“Says so.”
“But Gwen—.”
Gilbert turned his head to Gwen. As gazes gathered Gwen became a crying face.
“I will also go! Because if I am there Lord Galahad can recover! I am a genius!”
Gwen said logically. Gilbert’s lips became sealreuk and exhaled a sigh.
“Instead be behind me.”
Gilbert who became a resolute face said while firmly tying the sword.
It was a knight with a lot of responsibility.
Everyone rode the carriage and prepared to go to Magic Realm.
In a heavy atmosphere unlike usual—.
“Yet what is Magic Realm?”
Gwen asked small.
****
Although the engagement ceremony ended, the staff rather became busier.
There was also preparing the returning path of the gathered ones, and also starting the mana stone field work with the mages of the magic tower in earnest.
And—.
‘Hunting with Captain Galahad.’
After the engagement ceremony ended the Grand Duke ordered the staff to prepare the hunt with Captain Galahad.
It seemed trying to go the hunt requested as the reward for Captain Galahad saving the 6th Battalion.
Originally the Grand Duke went holding only an axe when going hunting. Such a Grand Duke saying prepare was a considerable change.
‘Because taking care of Captain Galahad.’
Theodore recalled the Grand Duke’s smile seen at the engagement ceremony time.
Actually even when went hunting with Captain Galahad last time the mood seemed good. Although that was a fine difference, Theodore could know.
At that order the staff laughed and prepared. Didn’t safely protect Galahad from outsiders. There the Grand Duke saying will drive a wedge once more could only be enjoyable.
Filled the remaining things from the banquet full and prepared as gorgeously as possible.
Theodore who was preparing suddenly a question rose.
‘Said to Captain Galahad?’
This time was long because of the engagement ceremony, but usually Captain Galahad always moved busily.
'Eh, no way—.'
His Highness the Grand Duke ordered even preparation, yet Captain Galahad none—.
‘Would such a terrible matter occur?’
From inside the Grand Duke’s low laughter was heard.
It seemed really expecting.
