A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

077. Hero’s Intervention

In order for a celestial resident to become an angel, they must give up their emotions.

Those who fail to do so will be quietly executed, or

You have to run away from heaven and live in hiding.

The world calls them devils.

Most of the demons naturally gather in the underworld, vowing revenge.

At first, Allie was thinking of joining them, but…

‘Hate is not an emotion. It’s just obsession using emotions as an excuse.’

… Said the person who no longer remembers who he was.

Therefore, Ally decided to live quietly with a few colleagues in the middle world rather than the lower world.

But I had no intention of leaving her alone, neither above nor below.

‘sorry. ‘The rule is that if you see a devil, you must kill it.’

‘Choose. Join us and fight the gods, or die by our hands.’

For those who refuse to feel or fight, the only way left is death.

Even most of those who tried to kill Allie were once her friends or acquaintances.

While I was running away, losing my colleagues one by one,

I managed to find a land where God’s eyes could not reach.

Ally founded a village there.

Strangely, people with tattered hearts naturally began to flow into the village.

Ally swore to protect them from everything in this world.

So at some point, I started quietly boiling snow lavender and feeding it to everyone.

‘The village of the forgotten and forgotten’.

Thanks to this, residents began to forget all kinds of hatred, regrets, and even precious memories and dreams.

… I still don’t think that was the right thing to do.

But I definitely thought that was the only way to erase everyone’s misfortune.

“In other words, you want us to chase away that legendary dragon?”

asked a cocky-looking man with yellow hair who identified himself as Prince Sir’an.

Then Drago answered calmly.

“To sum it up, yes.”

… Just now,

Drago was discovered by the Skywilder while he was going down the mountain.

Then, they were semi-forcibly dragged to a tent in the Knights Templar camp.

People who didn’t know who it was showed various reactions, such as being surprised, happy, or crying.

In that state, he briefly explained the village and his plans to everyone.

“Are you going to go back to that village eventually?”

“Because right now, I’m still a resident of that village.”

At those words, everyone’s expressions, including Prince Siran, turned grim.

“Do it in moderation! Are you saying that complete strangers are more important than the people here?”

“You are the ones who are complete strangers to me.”

In the end, Sirian punched Drago in the face.

When Drago fell to the floor, Sirian grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back up.

“Take back what you just said.”

“I… right now, I can’t decide at all what is more important.”

Drago shook off Sirian’s hand and looked straight at him.

“So I decided not to judge. I decided not to weigh you and the villagers.”

“you really-“

“Besides, whether I like it or not, there’s a reason I have to go back. I left the medicine to restore my memories in that village.”

At that time, the black-haired woman behind her took out a small medicine bottle.

“Sorry for pouring cold water on you, but I made one for you too.”

“…Eek.”

“I was the one who gave you the recipe for that medicine in the first place, right?”

Drago was shocked for a few seconds, but then he got very embarrassed and took a step back.

“Now, wait, wait, wait, if I eat that now, my plans are going to go awry in many ways-”

“Prince Sir’an, can you force Trine’s mouth to open?”

As soon as those words were finished, Sirian and everyone around him rushed at Trine and bound him.

“No really! This is bad timing!”

Drago struggled, but in the end he couldn’t stop himself from being forced to swallow the medicine.

***

After a few minutes.

Trine, who quickly regained his memory, sat down on the floor like a wreck and muttered.

“What on earth have I been doing all this time…?”

There was no time to feel the joy of regaining my memories.

Allie’s memories were forcibly taken from her.

He treated his friends who came to save him as enemies.

This is something I’ve been saying all this time without even knowing much about it.

I was very confused because all those emotions were forced into my head along with the memories.

Sir’an asked Trine.

“Don’t you have anything to tell us?”

Trine smiled shyly and answered.

“It’s been a while, everyone. How have you been?”

“Step on it.”

As everyone rushed at Trine with the intention of stamping him to death, Trine cried out as he struggled.

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding! I’m sorry! I was wrong! And I really appreciate you coming to save me!”

“…Think moderately.”

When Sirian held out his hand, Trine took his hand and stood up.

Then he calmly looked around.

Instructor Elroy, Lisbeth, Pyrrhol, and Locke.

Plus Sia and Yuril.

Just seeing familiar faces made me feel at ease for the first time in a while.

Of course, the others’ expressions still didn’t look bright at all.

“senior.”

Sia stood in front of Trine and smiled brightly for the first time in a long time.

“The wedding date has passed.”

… I couldn’t even imagine how much meaning was contained in that expression and that single word.

“Hey, I’m sorry. No, it’s not something I should apologize for, but I had a situation too.”

“…….”

“Oh, of course I’m still the bad guy!”

“…….”

“I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

“…Go back and reschedule the wedding date.”

Trine paused for a while and then spoke.

“Well, I know it’s really shameless and mean to say something like this.”

“What is it?”

“Give me a few more days. Just because my memories come back doesn’t mean my promise to the other side disappears.”

Then Sia turned around.

“I am not as broad-minded as you think.”

And then he went out of the tent.

Trine hesitated for a moment and tried to chase after her, but

Siran put his hand on Trine’s shoulder and stopped him.

“If I chase you now, you’ll be even more upset?”

“…huh.”

“Please formally apologize again to Sia later.”

“okay.”

“And if the wedding fails, I will kill you.”

“I said I understood.”

Instructor Eloy, who was silent next to him, asked Trine.

“So, what do you plan to do from now on? Are you really going to fight the dragon?”

Trine thought about that question for a moment.

“Thanks to my memory coming back, I understand, that dragon is not our enemy.”

In fact, after his memories came back, he realized how absurd what he was trying to do was.

I couldn’t believe I’d even thought of fighting and driving away a dragon that was almost like an ally.

They say it’s brave to be ignorant…

I felt pathetic at myself for moving without any specific information or plan.

“But even so, I want to prevent dragons from interfering with the village.”

There are no swords in that village.

Trine knew the meaning very well,

I couldn’t allow the dragon to break that resolve at will.

“So, I will challenge that dragon to a duel.”

“Are you sane?”

“I don’t really have any intention of winning. I just want to have a conversation with the sword.”

Sirian asked after gathering his thoughts for a moment.

“So what can we do to help?”

“Actually, what I need most right now is the right to interfere in that village.”

“Well, you’ve already been kicked out of that village.”

“Siran, you said I could receive a territory as a reward for becoming a count, right?”

***

The news of Drago’s death quickly spread throughout the village.

Of course, the dragon knew that those words were false.

But I wanted to buy time until he came back,

I decided to deliberately pretend to be uncomfortable and stick to the village.

“Can’t you bring us more alcohol and meat right now!”

Because of that, I had to constantly tremble in fear.

“Well, Almighty One, it will take time to prepare, so please be patient.”

“Didn’t I say that I would leave right away if you pledged your loyalty to me?”

The old woman asked Allie from a distance.

“What should we do with this… Are we really saying that we have no choice but to accept the dragon’s offer?”

Ally shook her head.

It shouldn’t be like that.

This village must never be involved in the secular world.

Because I swore like that.

… At that time, a resident came up to the two and whispered.

“An airship is flying here.”

“Are they the ones who attacked the beacon before?”

“I think so.”

“Quickly kick him out.”

“Well, we’re already right around the corner, so we don’t have time.”

“What? Why didn’t you figure that out sooner?”

At that time, a loud voice came from above my head.

“Mugyeongryong Grokatsu, listen!”

Everyone looked up in surprise and saw that the airship was already floating there.

“How dare you seek permission from someone to run amok in this Kingdom of Artoria!”

The dragon responded to the airship.

“You’re talking funny! Don’t you know that human borders mean nothing to this body!”

“It’s not you who decides that! If you don’t leave right away, I will expel you according to the laws of the land!”

At those words, the dragon suddenly laughed loudly.

“You know who this body is, but you’re going to eradicate it! I praise you for your recklessness!”

“This is not the time to slack off! Twenty combat airships are coming this way to subdue you!”

It was a bluff.

“Only in your 20s? I’ve taken down over a hundred of these bodies in one go!”

Actually, this statement was a lie.

After a childish argument between the two sides, the old woman shouted.

“This village has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Artoria! Please do not interfere and leave!”

“Why is there no relationship? This Mount Theor has become Count Trine’s territory from today!”

It was a huge bombshell, but the attitude of Ally and the residents was lukewarm.

Even Allie had never heard Drago’s real name.

Since it was a town without a newspaper to begin with, people didn’t even know that Trine was a famous person.

However, when the dragon heard the declaration, he laughed loudly and shouted.

“Well then, out of respect for the culture of Artoria, I will challenge that guy named Trine to a duel!”

“Oh? I’ve been waiting for you to say that!”

Soon the door of the airship opened and a man jumped out.

Then the villagers started whispering in surprise.

“D-Drago? He wasn’t dead?”

“You’re coming back so shamelessly…”

“More than that, that guy became the lord of this mountain?”

Ally also glared at him as hard as she could.

At best, they showed unprecedented warmth and allowed me to run away from the village.

Although he promised to return,

I never thought it would come back in such a coercive way.

Drago said, pointing his sword at the dragon.

“If I win, you will have to leave this village.”

“Hmph! Do you think that a mere human can defeat this body!”

Drago… No, what on earth is that person named Trine thinking?

There’s no way he could defeat the dragon.

From the first time we met, it seemed like he didn’t even know how to fight properly.

It was so frustrating that Allie even taught me how to shoot an archery.

… However, the man in front of her was clearly a completely different person than before.

Just by holding a sword,

I felt a fighting spirit and determination that I had never shown before.

“Come on.”

The dragon laughed heartily at Trine’s provocation,

“In honor of your courage and conviction, I will deal with you in mortal form.”

Suddenly the dragon changed into human form.

Busty, red-hot long hair.

The dragon’s eyes are terrifying just by looking at them.

Huge muscles that ordinary humans cannot have.

The dragon shouted, raising its black, huge greatsword.

“Show me your full power!”

As soon as those words were finished, their swords clashed.
