Chapter 116

Lancelot looks around the facility .

Whats the matter, isnt Gaston there!

I-, its me! I am Gaston!

Gaston forced his way through the people around him and appeared in front of the Elite Guards Captain .

Hmm, you must be Gaston . Ive heard of your many heroic deeds .

Princess Charlotte looked at Gaston intently, as if she were assessing him .

I hate to be cryptic, so Ill be frank . You will replace that man here as my new Elite Guards Captain .

Princess Charlotte said simply .

Another commotion stirs from the surroundings .

What is that princess thinking?

The captain who has been serving you until now is entrusted to a ragtag group of people who have only heard of your achievements .

I thought that Lancelot wasnt convinced either . but he didnt move a single eyebrow .

Abel Isnt that bad?

Mea says with concern .

It-, itll probably be fine . Even Gaston is not that stupid . Serving the princess, even that is

Its different from serving a weak nobleman .

If you deceive a royalty, the worst thing you can do is to have your head cut off .

Its a good thing that Gaston, who is completely satisfied with being the hero of the city of Lomarn, has no merit in crossing a dangerous bridge now to be under the thumb of such an impudent girl .

The question is, how long can you say no without attracting attention

Yes! thi-, this Gaston would love to help you, Princess or rather, if I can help you!

Gaston readily agreed with a poorly written respectful speech that was even sneering .

What was that idiot thinking?

When I turned my attention to the back, Gordon, who was helping Gaston carry his prey, was also staring at Gaston with a terrific expression .

Maybe Im making a face like that now, too .

Oh my goodness, you dont have to be so nervous, okay? For a big figure, theres something pretty cute about you .

Ah, yes! Yes!

Thats a bad idea indeed .

Gaston thinks he can fool them .

Without a doubt, soon his disguise will be exposed and be beheaded .

If Im not careful, Princess Charlottes anger could spread to my side .

Then, Gaston, please follow me . Its pretty dusty here so I dont want to stay here for too long .

As Princess Charlotte turned herself around, the Elite Guards rearranged their positions accordingly .

Gaston, from this day forward, you will be my Elite Guards apprentice . When we return to the castle, you will officially become the Elite Guards Captain . Lancelot will be your assistant .

Yes! Yes!

Gaston answered vigorously, and even made a guts pose .

This is not good, at this rate, hes going to go as far as he can . Hes completely out of it .

Someone has, someone has to stop him .

At this rate, Gaston could seriously be executed .

S-, stop Please wait a minute!

I run out in front of Princess Charlotte .

Mea rushes after me .

Um, youd better think twice about hiring that man! Just a little bit more is fine!

Right after I called out to Princess Charlotte, a bleary-eyed Gaston jumped at me .

Dont get in the way!

I quickly readied my wand, but I didnt want to stand out awkwardly in this situation .

It could be a really uncollectable situation already .

After a moments hesitation, I waved my wand .

Wah, carry!

I dropped my wand from my hand and held the teleported World Tree Ortem in my arms .

Gaston sent a knee kick to the World Tree Ortem and I was flung backward .

Ouch!

I fell off my back and fell on my ass .

I was glad the Ortem Guard was there on time .

Gaston targeted for the solar plexus as hard as he could .

If I had gotten it right, it would have taken my consciousness away .

You were going to take away my achievements, werent you? When you saw that I was picked up by the princess, you thought it was too good to pass up this opportunity .

Gaston comes up to me and says, keeping his voice volume down .

N-, no, its not

Then shut up!

Gaston yells at me and goes back to the princess .

I coughed and placed Ortem on the ground and held my lower belly .

I promptly punished the impudent who jumped in front of the queen!

Oh my goodness, thats a nice mental attitude . I cant wait to see how you do in the future .

The sound of regular, regular footsteps echoed inside the ticking Adventurers Support Center .

The Queens group quickly walked out of the facility .

Owow, ow

Damn, the Elite Guards was wary, but I didnt expect a kick to come from Gaston with no questions asked .

My stomach ached from being kicked through the Ortem Guard .

There were plenty of other better ways to prevent it, but I hesitated because I didnt want to use magic here in this public place, especially with Princess Charlotte here .

Abel! Are, are you okay?!

Mea pounces and crouches down, making eye contact with me .

N, no, Im rather okay . More importantly, Gaston is

I stand up while borrowing Meas shoulder and turn my attention to the doorway of the Adventurers Support Center .

Princess Charlottes group is not there already .

The adventurers were all outside, breathless with the need to see Gaston off on his journey .
