Ever since I brought that woman back, Leah has almost always been pouting and glaring at me.
After regaining some of his magic, it was already dawn, and the mist had gathered again sometime earlier.
"Azure Crown"
I wanted to give that woman a proper treatment, but Kria insisted on dressing her, clearly mistaking me for a pervert.
As for the woman in front of me, she does have a good figure, but she doesn't have the huge breasts of Leah, which gives me a good reason to grab her a couple of times.
Unfortunately, Lia kept a close eye on me the whole time, and if I had the slightest mischievous thought, she would pinch me hard.
My poor erector spinae muscles are already red and swollen...
"What's wrong with this woman today!"
They had no choice but to obediently use the "Azure Crown".
call……
I was already panting before I even started. I've been using magic almost all day, and my body is starting to give out.
Compared to before, my magic power isn't recovering as quickly anymore.
The woman looked to be around 20 years old, and given her heavy armor, she probably wasn't an adventurer.
However, once the woman wakes up, the truth will come out.
Using the "Azure Crown" through clothing doesn't have a significant healing effect, and it's not because I have any ulterior motives.
The magic power is not strong enough right now, and with the clothes in between, the woman has not yet been able to wake up.
Lia didn't say a word the whole time, and her gaze didn't seem to have that prickly feeling, but her fierce eyes still made me uncomfortable.
It's like looking at a pervert.
I could only turn my head to the side; I didn't dare look at that woman, let alone Leah...
The oppressive feeling of the wetland forest is gone, probably because the sunrise is about to arrive.
"Martha..."
In the end, he still couldn't save Marta, and he sighed helplessly at this thought.
I didn't dare give the earrings I found earlier to Leah, afraid of touching a sore spot again.
Leaning against the stone wall, I forced myself not to think about irrelevant things, focusing on getting the two of them back safely.
At least ensure Leah's safety first...
That woman who has nothing to do with me is not as important as Leah. It's not that I'm ignoring her, but that I have no choice but to choose Leah under duress.
...
Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep...
"..."
I was awakened by a sound of voices. It seemed that the woman had woken up and was talking to Leah.
I've already experienced this wonderful, naturally outgoing quality in women, so it doesn't seem strange to me.
My head feels dizzy, so I probably haven't slept long, but there's a faint fragrance on my lips...
I don't know what happened...
"snort……"
When she saw that I was awake, Leah blushed, but her eyes were still fixed on me with a fierce look, which felt very incongruous.
"Could this woman have secretly done something while I was sleeping?!"
It wasn't a man's intuition, but rather that Leah's expression was simply too suspicious...
"Hello, my name is Olivia Lyntigardo, and I am very grateful to you for saving my life!"
"...?"
Looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, it wasn't the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
Is this a knight's kneeling gesture?
“I am Leon Cabadorn. You don’t need to be so formal, just relax.”
Thank you so much!
That's royal etiquette. My gut feeling tells me this woman is no ordinary person.
"By the way, Miss Olivia... no, Olivia, you're not an adventurer, are you? Why are you here, and injured like that..."
I tentatively asked if she was truly a member of the royal family, and whether I had actually saved the right person.
Let alone the fact that I'm sure I'll get caught up in some troublesome situation.
Just for touching her skin with the "Azure Crown," even through clothing, that act is punishable by death.
The royal family takes this kind of thing very seriously, especially with women of this age. The idea that one must marry a woman just by touching her is very likely to happen.
If that's the case, then it'll be a real problem.
"I am the captain of the Ninth Knights of the Kingdom of Robebia. I was escorting the Third Princess, Bellsino, to marry the Sixth Prince of the Kingdom of Kylorans. While passing through the Colombo Mountains, we were attacked by a horde of goblins. We thought of seeking help in the city of Buryani, but..."
"Wait, wait..."
I interrupted Olivia, which was very impolite, but my thoughts were all jumbled up right now...
"Well……"
What princess? What prince?
Another marriage alliance, another goblin...
Olivia seems to have said that she is the Ninth Regiment Commander?
What is a goblin?
A monster that barely made it into the E-rank...
"Hey... a dignified knight commander who can't even defeat an E-rank monster like a goblin?"
Too suspicious?
Furthermore, what about a small country like Robbia forming a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Kylorans?
It's also full of doubts?
"Could he be a spy sent by another country?"
This thought flashed through my mind...
However, since they are spies, they shouldn't be foolish enough to joke about goblins...
Even the kids on the street know that goblins are E-rank monsters, only above slimes.
In short, I don't want to have anything to do with her!
"Just send it directly to the guards."
Regardless of whether what she said is true or not, I feel that doing this is the safest option...
If it's true, then the guards will help her rescue the princess.
If it's fake, and she really is a spy sent by another country, I believe she wouldn't be able to get past the guards.
"That's right..."
"Hey! Leon, what are you muttering about..."
I was interrupted by Leah's shout, and my maze-like thoughts are giving me a terrible headache.
"No...it's nothing."
Indeed, it is very impolite for someone to mutter to themselves like that.
I didn't look at Lia, but shifted my gaze to Olivia. Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be lying.
Since that's the case...
"Alright then, Commander Olivia, I'll take you directly to the guards, and you can ask them for help then."
I laid out my thoughts directly. If she hesitated, then it was highly likely she was a spy.
According to the laws of the country, rescuing a spy without authorization is a capital offense...
"I am extremely grateful!"
"..."
To everyone's surprise, Olivia readily agreed.
That's good, at least I won't get involved in messy things.
I glanced at the sky; it was already getting bright.
My magic power has almost recovered. Although I can't cast King-level magic, it's more than enough to deal with monsters like forest wolves.
I quickly tidied up my backpack to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything before calling the two of them to prepare to leave the wetland forest...
Leah seemed very excited, after all, she had suffered a lot here.
I could tell that she liked me. Even though she would glare at me from time to time, she didn't give me a bad feeling anymore.
"Martha... I'm sorry."
Looking at the wetland forest behind me, a sense of frustration crept over me.
I still can't quite accept her death.
Although we didn't spend much time together, however...
I really miss the days we spent together, our first meeting on the carriage, and... our farewell before carrying out the mission.
Unexpectedly, it really did become a farewell...
