A team composed of dozens of elite knight guards rushed out of Langard and headed towards a certain direction outside the city.
"Hey, Hulim, that Bozera isn't going to just run away like that, is he?"
"Don't worry, no, he must be in a state where he thinks he will be safe."
"Oh, yeah? After that..."
"We'll talk about what happens next later. Things may not develop as we expect."
After the caravan sped away, several people near the Langarde city gate, dressed as merchants or adventurers, retracted their gaze from the caravan and quickly left the area...
After traveling for a long time, the convoy finally arrived at an official outpost.
Seeing the sudden arrival of a large group of knights, the guards outside were stunned.
"Wait! Who are you? You are not allowed to trespass here!"
"Get out of the way! The Knights of Defense are apprehending the suspect! No one outside is allowed to get in the way!!!"
"Defense Knights?!"
The guards were immediately frightened and made way for the knights to rush in. For a moment, no one dared to stop them.
Then, the knights rushed into the stronghold...
The commotion outside had naturally attracted Bozera's attention a long time ago. As the highest-ranking person here, he originally wanted to go out and see what was going on.
But when he heard that it was the Garrison Knights outside, and that they were here to arrest a suspect, his legs went weak.
"How, how is this possible? How on earth did they find me? I definitely didn't leave any clues!?"
Bozera was puzzled.
I never thought that I had been betrayed from the very beginning.
... ...
That was the day before Crawford was killed.
"...Berzera, you should already understand His Highness Diodore's intentions, right?"
The man with a scales tattoo on his forehead said to Bozera with a smile on his face.
Cold sweat oozed slightly from Bozera's back. His intuition told him that the strange man in front of him was very dangerous, and the best option was to stay away from him immediately. However, the other party was working for Diodore, so he could only sit down and listen to his instructions.
"Yes...I understand clearly, but——"
Bozera still wanted to struggle.
"I have always been loyal to His Highness Diodore! I did have a good relationship with Crawford before, but after he joined the Four Princesses' faction, I stopped interacting with him. Why do you want me to do this now?!"
"Hmph."
The "investor" looked at Bozera with a half-smile.
"I understand your feelings, but unfortunately, His Highness Diodore will not accept such words."
"To His Highness, Crawford's betrayal is unforgivable. Your only choice now is to prove, as His Highness wishes, that you are no longer connected to Crawford. Only then can you continue to serve His Highness Diodore."
"I, I... But how can I assassinate Crawford?"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry~, I will arrange everything for you~."
... ...
"They said everything was arranged! They did everything perfectly, but they were still discovered!!!"
Bozera was so angry that he wanted to curse at the "investor".
But suddenly, I remembered the last words he said...
"... Even if, unfortunately, you are exposed, don't panic. I have left you a way out~."
"Retreat..."
Bozera remembered the "investor" telling him how to escape.
Although everything seemed suspicious, the "investor" was most likely just like his initial impression, with no good intentions.
But now that things have come to this, I can only grit my teeth and choose to believe it.
So, Bozera quickly opened the hidden escape route in the room and fled in.
Not long after, the searching knights discovered that Bozera had slipped away and came back to report to Alicia.
"... Hulim, what should we do now? The other party escaped through the secret passage."
Alicia asked.
"As expected, let's chase it."
Hulim and the others quickly found the hidden passage that Bozera used to escape.
Then they jumped into the passage one by one and chased after Bozera.
... ...
Squeak~!
At the foot of a small hill, a cave suddenly opened.
Then, a man dressed as a noble ran out in a panic.
He looked up to confirm the direction, then ran in the direction he was told. Not far away, he found an abandoned hut.
Then, following the directions, I found some cursed magic items in an abandoned hut...
Looking at these magical items that exuded an ominous aura, Bozera's face looked very ugly.
After a brief internal struggle, he gritted his teeth and reached out to these cursed magic items.
After all, the curse won't kill people so easily, but if you're caught by the Knights, you'll definitely die!
whoosh——!
A sound of breaking air faded away in the air. With the help of a powerful cursed magic item, Bozera escaped at almost ten times his usual speed...
On the other side, the pursuing knights also came out from the hidden passage.
