Chapter 88
Chapter 88
‘Is it an earthquake? But the vibrations of the ground are getting bigger and bigger. No, to put it bluntly, it feels like the source creating the vibrations is approaching.’
Finally, everyone got up from their chairs and stood stumped, not knowing what to do. Meanwhile, all the Imperial Knights gathered around us, surrounding us.
“Is it an attack?”
“Damn it! Everyone, protect the Prince, the Princess, and the rest!”
Jake grabbed my stiff hand. Just like mine, his hand was trembling. Boom. I heard the sound of something approaching us. It seemed to have heavy footsteps. It was clearly not human.The source made an unfamiliar sound, like a scream.
“La-Lady Emir… What is that?” Alice asked in a trembling voice. Frightened, she grabbed one of my arms. The Imperial Knights knew the exact answer to the question.
“It’s a beast……!”
“Why is a beast here? They should be sealed in the basement of the tower, right?”
They should have been.
The uninvited guest who suddenly appeared after our snack time was none other than a beast. It was a black beast with an ugly shape with unclear eyes, nose and mouth. Fortunately, listening to what the knights were saying, it seemed to be a beast that was very small and not
a large one.
As explained in the original story, large-scale beasts were said to have the power to destroy a large city, so the fact that it was small-sized was fortunate. However, no matter how small it was, a beast was still a beast. It was strong enough to shake this lawn and threaten us all. Perhaps, not only me, but everyone else knew about it. Even if they didn’t have any prior knowledge of magical beasts, it was obvious that anyone would realize this when they experience a scene like this in flesh and blood.
There was an overwhelming fear of death in us.
“What-what should I do? Oh my God……”
Alice was constantly muttering and crying, talking to herself. Perhaps Jake was also frightened, and he bowed his head and muttered something.
And I…
‘It’s tiny. Nonsense. It might be two or three times the height of a normal adult.’
‘A beast suddenly appears, am I going to die here? No, I’d hate for that to happen. I did reincarnate, but I’m only 6 years old and I can’t die already!’ I cried out in my heart. Although I couldn’t see for myself, I must have looked quite a coward. I couldn’t bravely take the other children with me, but I couldn’t run away in front of the beast by showing my sacrificial spirit on behalf of everyone. As a reincarnate, I was crying and trembling with fear, just like any other child.
Kaaaah!
Meanwhile, the beast was roaring and coming closer to us. In a flash, what I had read in the original story came to mind. It is the beast’s instinct to attack where there are people. So is that why it’s coming this way?
“Go away! I mean, go away you stupid beast! Damn it! If I only had a sword, I would have killed you!”
At the sudden shout from the side, I turned my gaze toward Cedric, who with tears in his eyes like me, was shouting. Cedric screamed while pretending to pull out a sword from his waist that didn’t even exist. The Imperial Knights dissuaded Cedric.
“… Be careful, Lord Cedric! Never approach it! We will deal with that beast.”
But even their faces were dark with concern. Maybe it was a matter of course. No matter how strong the Imperial Knights are, they are humans. Unless you are a wizard or a knight beyond the realm of human beings, there is no one that can properly deal with beasts. Those beasts are not commonly seen and they had never faced a beast before. Of course they were afraid. In fact, the field surrounded the forest, and the nearest mansion was also far beyond, making it even more difficult to find a solution.
“Bro-brother, do you have a communication channel to contact Father?”
“……no. I didn’t bring it.”
Meanwhile, under the most thorough protection of the knights, two people stood behind Mrs. Edmond’s back. Overhearing the conversation between Ninaina and Nicholas, I despaired. It was clear that we could not receive support from the wizards of the Imperial Palace.
Kaah-aaahhh!
But what’s the point of informing them about our situation now?
At first, the beast was a little clumsy, but it soon adapted to the environment and started dashing towards us at a faster speed. Finally, around the time the beast approached and started attacking, the knights drew their swords and began to form a line.
“Keuhk!”
However, starting with the knight who was at the forefront, the knights were thrown out one by one by the beast. I felt that the knights in the rear who remained to protect us were noticeably tense.
‘It was said that the skin of a beast is difficult to penetrate with an ordinary sword.’
I clenched Jake and Alice’s hands, who stood on my either side, as if they were a rope, and bit my lip until it bled.
Immediately after, someone screamed, “Everyone stand back!”
“…Jake?!”
