It has been a week since Leorde started his study session on space for the researchers.
Then, an incident occurs.
Regulus and Leila were riding in a carriage for shopping. They were accompanied by several guards, and unless something serious happened, they would be fine.
But then something happened. While passing through a deserted street, am arrow was shot in front of the horse that was pulling the carriage.
The startled horse stopped, and Regulus and Leila, who were in the carriage, were also startled. When they were about to ask the guardian what was going on, a knight in the guard cautioned them.
"You must stay in the carriage, master Regulus-and lady Leila-! We probably attacked by someone!"
The two were frightened by the word "attacked ". they never experienced anything like this before. It is not only in the royal capital, but also in the duke's family. It would be foolish to think that they would attack them .
However, they were actually being attacked now. The shouts of the knights coming from outside the carriage, and the curses of several people who seemed to be the attackers.
The two of them huddled together for a while, but then the sounds of the knights and the attackers stopped. Regulus had a bad feeling about this.
If the knight had won, there would have been a report. If there was no report, it meant that they had lost. The knights that serve the duke's family are all fierce.
It was no laughing matter that they were defeated by such an assailant. Regulus's breathing became ragged, and Leila became even more frightened when she saw how impatient Regulus was.
"Brother Regulus, ......."
"Don't worry. I'm here."
Regulus hears footsteps approaching the carriage and prepares to unleash his magic. The moment the carriage door was about to open, an assailant jumped in through the window attached to the carriage.
"Aaahhhh!"
"Hahahaha! You're a clever boy! But I'm not so naive!"
"Get of from f ...... Leila!
" You don't understand what's going on, do you? You'd rather slit his throat than shoot me with your magic."
The man who had broken in through the window had taken Leila hostage and was holding a knife to her neck. No matter how strong Regulus shows his stance, it doesn't work against the attacker.
"'...... What do yiu want from us ! Answer me!"
"What? You don't know your place!"
"Aah!
When Regulus asks a question, the assailant man gets angry and brings the knife closer to Leila. The tip of the knife touches Leila's skin and a streak of blood flows. Leila lets out a small scream and stares at Regulus with frightened eyes.
"I'll do what you say. , but dont touch her "
"No, we can't. We ned her
"Hey! What are you going to do with Leila?"
"I don't know what , but I'll tell you one thing, though. , it's because of your brother whom you hate. Hahahahahahahaha!
The man's vulgar laugh did not reach Regulus. Regulus' hatred for Leolde was swirling in his chest.
(Why do I and Leila have to get hurt because of him?)
The assailant tied up Regulus, who was trembling and clenching his fists in anger, and took him away with Leila. Originally, they would have only taken Leila, but they took him because he happened to be with her.
They were brought to a certain place in the capital, where they were dropped into a small, windowless room.
"Hey, I thought yiy said she was alone?"
"Apparently, they were in a carriage together. , so they decided to go along for the ride."
"Oh, man. What a lousy job you're doing. Oh well. It can't be helped now that they been brought here. Send a letter to the duke's house.
"Okay, sir."
The next day, a letter was delivered to the duke's house. offering to exchange them n for Leolde.
Beluga, the head of the duke's family, was angry by this. However, the lives of Regulus and Leila were in the hands of the other party.
This means that he can't make a careless move. Beluga was unsure of what to do.
He weighed the two of them against Leolde.
As a father and the head of the duchy, he made a hard decision. Beluga decides to left Leolde.
The current Leolde is an existence that the country cannot afford to lose. On the other hand, Regulus and Leila are not a big loss for the country.
Regulus is the next head of the family, but considering Leolde's achievements, it is not difficult to welcome Leolde back as the next head of the family.
It was the best decision for a nobleman, but the worst decision for him as father.
What?" Regulus and Leila were kidnapped?""
"'Yeah, ...... the other day. And I got this letter from the kidnapper ."
When Leolde received the letter, he read the contents and shivered with anger. At the same time, he realized what he had been doing. He blames himself, wondering how far he can go and still cause trouble for someone else.
But even so, he couldn't stand still for now.Ge is not going to give up, no matter how bad the situation may be.
"In exchange for my custody, ......, you mean I'm the reason they' ve been kidnapped?"
"Calm down. Relax, Leolde. I've taken care of it.
"Depending on what's going on, you may not be able to keep your cool."
"I'm mobilizing ...... knights to search for the two of them . I've decided to refuse their demands."
The blood drained from his veins. Leolde questioned Beluga with a look of disbelief.
"'those two are your family! Are you going to abandon them!
"I have no intention of abandoning them! Listen to me. I can't afford to lose you now. ......"
"You don't know how much value you now have to this country, do you?"
" I don't care! The two of them are more important to me than anything else!"
"Wait, Leolde! Somebody, , stop him!"
Unable to stay, Leolde ran out of the mansion with great vigor. A knight was chasing him from behind, but they could not catch up with him.
In no time at all, Leolde had scattered the knights. With the same momentum, Leolde went on to find the them ,who had been captured because of him.
"Well, ......, that's what happens."
"Beluga. It's going to be okay. I'm sure he will be fine.
"Olivia. Did you hear me?"
"Yes. Don't worry, Belga. it will be fine.
"Is it Charlotte, with him by any chance?"
"Yes. Charlotte will help him in case of emergency.
The most powerful mage in the world is on their side. There is nothing more reassuring than that. However, what concerns him is that she will only help in case of emergency.
Charlotte has her own reasons for this, but she refuses to help in anything that involves the nation. She doesn't want to get involved in any trouble.
But even so, he can rest assured that Charlotte will be there to help him if I need it.
