SWNOVELS
Chapter 74: The Kingdom Project X (1)
Hah..haahhaah!
Bahamut hurriedly moves along with the soldiers.
His breath had already become hurried, and sweat was pouring down his cheeks, but even so, he had no time to stop and catch his breath.
Sh1t I was too complacent. I should have thought that an attack could come at any time, anywhere
Bahamut usually prepared quite thoroughly, and everything usually went according to his plans, so he was rather caught off guard by this incident.
As he regretted his painful mistake, Bahamut began to pray earnestly in his heart.
PleaseI dont mind getting injured, so just stay alive. II cant let you go this way!
Bahamut had begun to feel sorry towards Isolda for quite some time. Despite her past, Isolda had changed for the better and she was genuinely trying to help him. So he was thinking of trying to appease her in some way, but he really didnt think that something like this would happen.
If Isolda dies like this
The present Bahamut didnt even want to think of such a thing. So he ran towards the location of the attack in such a hurry.
Once there, he witnessed a more gruesome scene than he had imagined.
Aaaarhg! Make stop!
Pleaseplease! Have mercy!
The assassins were rolling on the floor with their limbs severed.
Between them was the figure of Ophelia holding a greatsword with a cold expression on her face.
And
Isolda!
AhBahamut!
Isolda was sitting on the floor, covered in b1ood.
Seeing her being protected by adventurers belonging to the Company who had arrived who knew when, Bahamut felt extreme relief and started running towards her.
And
Ah!
Thank godreallyIm really glad
Bahamut muttered while taking Isoldas body in his embrace.
In response to his unexpected reaction, Isolda began to feel a hint of joy as well as embarrassment.
Ehdid Yurias plan really work? It was unexpected that real assassins intervened along the way, but it did work
Although she had suffered an unexpected injury to her forearm, Isolda had no major complaints about the current situation.
In order to make sure that there were no flaws in the plan, she planned to give herself some minor injuries anyways, but even though it was not intentional, their plan actually managed to catch the assassins who were aiming for Bahamuts life. So from Isoldas point of view, it could be said that the plan was a great success.
I knew that he wasnt such a heartless man. But for him to worry about me like this
For now, Isolda was intoxicated with deep joy while being satisfied with the worried hug of the man she loved.
And
Master!
Ah, Ophelia!
Ophelia approached them leaving the adventurers to clean up the situation. Her face was covered with a look of relief and guilt that was deeper than that of Bahamut.
I am really, really sorry. I should have retreated while protecting you, but I made the wrong decision.
No, its not your fault, the decision you took was correct. Its my fault for neglecting my security.
Feeling that the situation had been sorted out, Bahamut looked around.
A few of the adventurers could be seen standing guard, while the others were busy apprehending the surviving assassins.
Bahamut didnt know why they were here, but he could guess the reason with some thought.
It mustve been Isolda. She was prepared in advance for something like this to happen.
Only Bahamut had the authority to mobilize the adventurers belonging to the Beden Merchant Company, but Isolda was also able to mobilize around 10 people at her discretion. Perhaps she was prepared for something like this to happen.
In that respect, I think that shes a woman who has no gaps.
At the moment, Bahamut was feeling both guilt and gratitude towards Isolda.
She was able to buy time with the help of the adventurersand she was injured while trying to protect me. Yet I treated her quite badly too
Bahamut looked at Isolda, who was covered in blood, with a bandage on one of her forearms.
Maybe it was because she was relieved that the dangerous situation had ended safely, there was a noticeable relief on her face.
