Princess Mia Falls!
“Princess Mia, over here!”
“Cha!”
Suddenly, Mia was pulled forward that she stumbled towards the front of the wagon.
“Up!? What’s the matter !?”
She caught herself on time not to vomit the contents of her stomach. Mia tried to complain, but when she raised her face, she saw Sion, who had a serious expression. She followed his gaze…
“What !?”
The wagon cover was flipped, and a man stepped in. He was dressed in black from the top of his head to his toes. He looked at the four people and then pulled a sword from his waist. It looked a little shorter than a knight’s sword.
“A bandit!?”
Mia screamed when she saw the glint of the blade.
“Good grief, don’t you know that you are scaring the ladies? ”
Keithwood says while stepping in. He already has his sword ready in his hand. He gave a sharp thrust while stepping in. His aim was the enemy’s sword arm. There was a clang of metal as his sword was met with the enemy’s sword. The way the enemy parried Keithwood’s sword was almost as good as Prince Sion’s.
At the same time, the enemy’s counterattack began. Keithwood was forced to step back. When he saw a slight opening before a powerful blow, he stepped again to counterattack. However, the enemy deflected Keithwood’s sharp attack. This flurry of slashing and counters went on that the hood of the carriage was brutally torn and it fluttered in the wind.
“You’re able to top my attacks, huh? Your Highness, be careful. It looks like he’s not an ordinary thief.”
“I agree. His movements are not that of an amateur.”
Sion nods with a serious face.
“Who are you? An assassin or something?”
“Well, if he is an assassin, he would not give you his name.”
Even when the two were talking, the enemy slashes. Taking a step back, Keith Wood parries it. It’s just like a dance step; the flowing movements are so brilliant that one might even feel the beauty.
“Interrupting people who are talking. You assassins are sure rude.”
Keithwood laughs haughtily, as if he was amazed and teasing his opponent. However, he didn’t seem to be particularly angry with such an attitude, and the enemy gradually narrowed the distance.
“Trying to close the gap so easily?”
This time Keithwood moves. He uses a sword technique centered on piercing that can be used even in a narrow loading platform. Even if it is stopped, a perfect attack that immediately leads to the next move should not be fatal, but it should be enough to stop the opponent.
“It’s weird…. This guy has a lot of skill, but he knows that he will not be winning. Even yet, he still is not leaving.”
At that time, an impatient expression appears on his face.
“Be careful, Your Highness. This guy probably is waiting for back-ups!”
Without waiting for the end of the word, his words came true. There was a sound of the wagon’s hood being cut open. From there, two new black masks appeared.
From this side of the carriage, it’s just like pinching Mia and the others.
There is no escape!
Mia desperately looks around, but of course there is no escape.
No matter how strong Sion is, it’s two-on-one…
Suddenly a feeling of real danger that she has not felt for a long time started creeping up. After a long time, feeling the danger of life realistically, Mia is completely in tears. But
“For a couple of kids, you people sure are invested heavily in this.!”
Sion pulled out his sword in a dignified and majestic manner, staring at the enemy who appeared to restrain him. A murderous aura was released. Mia felt it on her skin, at the same time a wave of nostalgia appeared.
On the previous timeline, that glare was aimed at me.
She also remembered how reliable he was. After all, the power that once threatened her is now being used to protect her. Somehow, Mia’s confidence in Sion is growing.
As expected of Prince Sion. He will surely kill these bandits with an ease. I’m sure he has defeated many bandits before.
Mia was starting to be optimistic. Now she is supporting her friends as if she was watching a sports match.
“Well, who wants to have the honor of being the first victim of my blade?”
Si- On. Go, Sion, go. Si- on. Wait!? Did he just say first? This is his first time?!
Immediately, her anxiety returned.
Uh… Maybe I should watch this from a safer distance.
Then, it was exactly when Mia tried to move toward a safer distance…
The wagon hit a bump and the whole wagon bounced up.
“…………What?”
Mia felt a strange floating feeling. Then she felt the slap of the torn hood at her back. Finally, there was a dizzying feeling of rolling.
The wagon was just crossing a large river along the border. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was headed straight into the water. The current seems to be very strong that everything that falls on it is washed away.
“Hey, aaahhhhhh!”
Mia falls into the river while screaming.
“Damn it! Princess Mia, I’m coming!”
The last voiced that Mia heard was that of Sion’s jumping after her.
And so, the princess and prince of the two great powers disappeared into the strong torrents of the river.
