After Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice set off, Louise and the others excused themselves from Wales and left the hall.
However, Waludo sneaked back after circling the area once.
"Sir Varudo?"
Seeing Varudo, Wales, who had just helped James the First to sleep, was puzzled.
"Is there anything else?"
"It's like this, Your Highness, I hope …"
Varudo whispered in Wales' ear.
"Oh? You want me to be the witness for you and Louise's wedding? No problem! "
Wales smiled.
"You came to help us, I naturally won't refuse such a small matter, but now is the time of war …"
"So, I hope to hold the wedding tonight."
"Tonight?"
Wales frowned.
"Isn't it too hasty?"
"No, it's like this, Your Highness. This time, the ones who stayed behind to help are Mr. Yakumo and Miss Norej. Louise and I have to return to Toristine tomorrow morning. It's a rare opportunity to see Your Highness, so tonight is the best time. "
Although he felt that something was wrong, when he thought about how Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice, who worked hard to help him quell the rebellion, were companions with Varudo, Wales gladly agreed.
"Very well, I'll order my men to prepare. When Sir Yakumo and Miss Norej return, we'll celebrate with your wedding. How about it?"
"No, there's no need to wait for Mr. Yakumo."
The doubt in Wales' heart grew.
"Why?"
"The war is urgent, and we don't know when Mr. Yakumo and Miss Norej will return. There's still a fierce battle tomorrow, so can we hold the wedding now?"
Wales narrowed his eyes slightly.
Varudo lowered his head.
[Bastard, if it weren't for those two guys, this could be done slowly. Now, this is the only way. If you're suspicious, then so be it.]
"Okay …"
Wales nodded.
Varudo smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave the hall.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll go find Louise and tell her the good news."

Hearing the knock on the door, Louise, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, said casually, "Shaista? Come in, put the washed clothes aside … Eh? Sir Varudo? "
Waludo walked over to Louise and gently stroked her head.
Louise raised her head and looked at the Waludo that she had always dreamed of when she was young.
He was as handsome and charming as ever, but she could no longer feel the feelings she had when she was a child.
"Louise, I've invited Prince Wales to witness our marriage. How about we hold the wedding now?"
"Crown Prince … are you saying that we are going to get married here?"
Louise's eyes widened.
She was indeed engaged to the man in front of her.
However, when she heard the proposal from his mouth, she found that she did not feel as happy as she had imagined.
"Yes, the Crown Prince has already accepted it. Louise, will you marry me?"
Varudo tried his best to smile as gently as possible as he asked in a gentle tone.
She was proposed to …
Louise was terrified.
What to do? What to do?
"This is too sudden!"
Louise's voice was a little out of tune due to her excitement.
She shook her head, twisted her body, stood up, and ran to the window to sit down.
"No way!"
"I haven't returned to Toristine yet! And … and even though I'm engaged, I still have to inform Father and Mother before I get married! "
Varudo walked over and hugged Louise who was sitting on the bed. "No!"
"Louise, Louise, I need you!"
"I need your strength!"
Strength?
Louise was shocked.
What strength did she have?
It was just Zero Dew Louise …
"What … what did you say?"
The panicked Louise began to struggle, but the girl's strength was not enough to resist Varudo.
"Yes, I need your strength. The Reconquista Party needs your strength!"
The Reconquista Party?!
Louise had vaguely heard Anrietta mention this name before. It was an organization that attempted to overthrow the traditional royal family and restore the Holy Land that was now ruled by the Holy See and unify the entire continent.
This time, the Reconquista Party was involved in the rebellion in Albion.
"Varudo, you … you betrayed Her Highness?!"
Louise was stunned and forgot to struggle. Her lips trembled as she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
The righteous noble that she envisioned as a child.
At this moment, his face no longer had the righteousness and gentleness of the past. Instead, it was replaced by an ugly face due to the exposure of his ambition.
"Why … why?"
Louise asked with a sobbing tone.
"Why?"
Varudo laughed as if he was very surprised.
"Louise, people change! My dear Louise, you don't have to think too much. Just follow my orders! "
Varudo said as he raised his right hand.
On his middle finger, a strange purple ring began to glow.
Looking at the glow, Louise's thoughts began to become chaotic.
[What's going on … My body … I can't control it …]
"Bang!!!"
The room door was suddenly slammed open.
"Let go of Miss Louise!"
A strong wind came from behind. Varudo was shocked. Without thinking, he threw Louise out of his arms and dodged to the side.
A sharp blade slashed and a strand of hair flew in the air.
It was Varudo's hair that was cut off in the nick of time.
"What!"
Shesta blocked in front of Louise. She held two thorns in her hands and stared at Varudo.
"Lord Varudo, what are you doing?"
"It's you? You're in the way! "
Varudo snorted and took out his knight's sword.
"Last time, it was a friendly duel. This time, I'm going to kill you!"
The blade was surrounded by a gust of wind that was strong enough to cut through human skin. Varudo pressed forward.
"I won't let you hurt Miss Louise!"
"Clink!"
The knight's sword clashed with the thorns. Shesta lowered her body and dove into Varudo's arms.
She held the Emei Piercer in her other hand and stabbed at Varudo's abdomen!
Varudo dodged the attack by a hair's breadth. At the same time, he quickly chanted a spell.
A flaming wind blade shot out from the knight's sword and sent Shesta flying.
Varudo followed up with another attack and pierced Shesta's right arm with his sword.
"Ah!!"
Fresh blood splattered on Louise's face as she lay on the bed, unable to move.
[What happened to me? Why can't I move?]
[Yakumo! Yakumo! Come and save me!]
Louise panicked. Feeling Shesta's blood on her face, she felt despair.
[Shesta is in danger. No! I have to do something …]
Suddenly, Louise remembered what Eight-cloud Ink said when he gave her the rune card.
"Louise, if you're in danger, use these to protect yourself!"
Right! Rune card!
As long as she could move, she could use the rune card to defeat Varudo!
Varudo tried to use the ring to control Louise, but he was interrupted by Shesta halfway through.
Therefore, although Louise could not move for the time being, she was not completely controlled.
At this critical moment, Louise desperately tried to regain control of her body.
Inside her body, the Void Energy that she had accumulated from Eight-cloud Ink's teachings started to boil.
[You can move your right arm!]
The moment she regained control of her right arm, Louise took out the rune card with much difficulty and injected magic into it.
She then threw it at Varudo.
Varudo's back was facing Louise, so only Shesta saw the rune card he threw out.
Shesta, who knew the power of the rune card, endured the pain in her right arm and hid behind the bed.
When Varudo turned around, he saw the rune card explode.
"What —?"
"Boom!!!!"
⑧
On the cliff, Eight-cloud Ink looked down at the lifeless rebel camp. Suddenly, he felt something and looked in the direction of Newcastle.
"Louise used the rune card?"
"Hmm … that guy finally couldn't hold it in anymore? That's right, now that Sister Muq and I are not here, this is the best time. "
