DYBAR - Chapter 144 < The Last Wish of The Imprisoned Grand Duchess (1) >
Do Your Best And Regret
“Then rest in peace.”
Baroness Sophron went outside. The sound of the door closing was soft.
Only after I was sure I was alone did I carefully untie the handkerchief from my wrist.
Haa...
Jade's voice, following the startled guard's salute, was extremely reassuring.
“Does that make sense? Some idiot opened the door to the imperial palace without verifying his identity?”
The night in the imperial palace, which should have been peaceful, felt strange somehow. It was different from the nights at the imperial palace I knew.
The guards, who were supposed to be solemn and strict, exchanged unusual stories. A few suspicious words were heard as if the volume of the voice was not even controlled.
“It’s like you’re really possessed by something....”
“You idiot! Because of you!"
“Take responsibility later! Have you checked over there?”
I put my hat on high and adjusted my shawl so that the Princess's palace seal was clearly visible. There would be no way the guards would search for the maids in the Princess's palace.
But my nervousness grew.
Could it be that my knights were discovered stealing Jurgen?
At my immediate answer, Bethany and I looked at each other.
“... It was only a moment, but a gap appeared in the barrier magic. In the meantime, the same energy that the Young Lady felt when treating His Highness the previous Grand Duke flowed out.”
I pursed my lips at Bethany's words. Just moments before, I felt the same way.
“If it wasn’t for that, no matter how hard I tried to use magic on the guard, my magic wouldn’t have worked.”
“...Will the magic you used earlier work again?”
After looking around for a moment, Bethany shook her head. The gap in the barrier was never felt again.
It was something that couldn't be done. Ibexamined Bethany's clothes. Clothes that are dark in color but do not reveal her identity.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought another shawl with my maid's emblem on it.
I, who had been looking around me as she hid in the bushes to find an opening for Bethany and me to sneak around, froze when I saw the eyes meet in the night sky.
A pair of eyes looking at me. She was Baroness Sophron. Surprised faces looked back and forth between me and Bethany.
Was she following me?
"Is there a problem? There are so many knights at this time of night.”
"That is...”
The young guard noticed the rank of head maid had a dignified voice and spoke with an appropriate mix of lies.
“...Have you ever seen a suspicious woman? The food vendors suddenly entered the palace and one of the employees got lost.”
I was half relieved when I heard the guard's stuttering voice. It was Bethanny's story perfectly. The knights seemed to have escaped successfully.
I blinked as I continued to hear Baroness Sophron's story.
“Wasn’t she a short boy, not a woman? I think I saw a child running away from me.”
Baroness Sophron was fluttering busily with one hand pointing towards her shutters and her other hand hidden behind her back. Just enough for her to be visible from where I was.
Meanwhile, the guard blinked his eyes and answered in a confused voice.
“What do you mean? Not over there?”
Obviously, the direction I heard was behind where the head maid is currently standing. The maid chief laughed at those words as if she had heard something extremely amusing.
“No matter how foolish the intruder may be, isn’t that His Highness's palace? If he had seen the heavy security, he would have been alarmed and immediately reported that he had lost his way.”
It was persuasive.
The guard bowed again to the maid and ran towards the shutters. Baroness Sophron, who had been watching the scene until the end, turned around only after the guard had completely disappeared.
Her shawl, the Princess, and the strange Lady were gone.
It was something she shouldn't have done as a court lady, but she had no regrets. As the chief maid of Tiase Palace, she gave the last courtesy to the person who was most worthy of the palace.
Baroness Sophron let out a quiet sigh of her own.
It's been a while since he looked up at the sky, and the moon, which had been clouded by clouds, was unusually bright.
Just like the sparkling silver roof of Tiase Palace, where she was loyal.
And at that moment, I let out the breath I had been holding and looked around me.
In front of the Emperor's Palace, which was supposed to be calm, a chaotic atmosphere was exuding. The servants were the ones running around in places where even guards could not enter.
“No, where is the court wizard at this time of night?”
Baroness Sophron went outside. The sound of the door closing was soft.
Only after I was sure I was alone did I carefully untie the handkerchief from my wrist.
Haa...
When I saw the bruises that had disappeared without a trace before I knew it, a faint sigh escaped me. I was keenly aware of what Bethany was talking about magic dance painting.
“I will wait in front of the imperial palace and when the knights come out with Jurgen, I will give you a signal through the color of the bruises on your wrists. However, if you enter the imperial palace, my magic will be useless, so in that case, you will have to somehow meet the knights within the palace.”
The imperial palace's barrier magic was like this. A powerful force that renders all unauthorized magic powerless.
The bell sounded on time.

The imperial palace's barrier magic was like this. A powerful force that renders all unauthorized magic powerless.
The bell sounded on time.
As if I had suddenly come to my senses, I walked over to the balcony and looked outside.
The round silver roof shone brightly under the moonlight and the knights and maids changed shifts on the hour. The chattering sounds of maids coming from the balcony downstairs.
Then...
I lifted the covers of my bed and traced the top of the frame. The moment a familiar touch touched my fingertips, I smiled brightly.
It was true that Baroness Sophron had said that Tiese Palace was the same.
Even the maid's clothes from the Princess's palace, which I had kept attached to the bed frame, were back in place.
It was then that I, who was hastily taking out the maid's uniform, stopped.
The waves in the wind blowing through the open balcony window were strange.
It was only for a moment, but the flow of magic was broken. What I felt at first glance, a large flow twisting incomparable to the preservation magic that wrapped the blue hydrangeas, was familiar to me...

I shook my head vigorously. I was now unsure of what I should do.
The only thing that was important was for everyone to return safely.
The shape of a blazing torch stirred the quiet night sky.
At the same time as he felt the urgency of the sound of footsteps hitting the ground, Winster covered Jurgen's mouth and bowed down.

The shape of a blazing torch stirred the quiet night sky.
At the same time as he felt the urgency of the sound of footsteps hitting the ground, Winster covered Jurgen's mouth and bowed down.
Although he could feel the moan muffled by his palm, Winster looked beyond the iron door where the sound was coming from.
The final gate of the Orfeil Dungeon.
If he just got over the castle wall with that door, it was easy to get to the shutters leading outside.
The final gate of the Orfeil Dungeon.
If he just got over the castle wall with that door, it was easy to get to the shutters leading outside.
One of the knights who suddenly came in was whispering something, and the careless guards suddenly got up from their seats.
“Well, intrusion... !"
"Shut up! Do you have something to brag about?”
Winster made eye contact with Dean and Howard in a fierce manner. It seemed like they had noticed that there was an intruder. If they had noticed a little later, it would have been after they had left.
Even though he was disappointed, he couldn't help it. Winster looked at Jurgen, who was just breathing. Jürgen burst out, squinting her swollen eyes.
“The regime guys are really stupid. The Grand Duke's information is very expensive, so will the value be reduced if you smack me down? I’ll be generous and give you a lifetime discount just for you.”
A quick-witted Lady. Thanks to what she said as soon as she met him in prison, Jürgen was destined to live.
Winster examined the guards with detailed eyes. The good news was that they were busy among themselves as if they didn't want to alert their superiors to the intruder's presence.
When Winster crossed the door, avoiding the pacing and deducing the intruder, he swallowed a sigh-like laugh.
There were quite a few guards.
He quickly looked around and found that the only place to hide was a small warehouse next to the training center. A place where he can be reasonably stunned even if a search guard comes in.
But when he hurriedly dragged Jürgen into the warehouse, Winster realized that his judgment was wrong.
A window letting in the moonlight, a warehouse filled with gauntlets that smell of damp sweat and worn leather. The reason this area was unusually quiet was because people had already come in first.
Winster, who had rushed to subdue it, hesitated. The flow of air surrounding the person, just for a moment, made him feel the skill of the person between the gauntlets.
If he were healthy, they would be on par, but now...

An opponent whose victory or defeat is difficult to guarantee.
Dean, who had been following in, stepped in front of Winster and put him on guard.
However, the opponent did not show up easily. They must have seen their faces when the door opened.
The forces that pierced the lungs clasped tightly.
Meanwhile, a nervous conversation grew closer beyond the warehouse wall.
“Who on earth... I said I did it!”
"I don't know! They say he suddenly opened the door as if possessed. Just open the warehouse door.”
Winster swallowed his saliva without realizing it. If Dean can take down the guy in front of him, and if Howard and he can take down the two people coming in...
But for a moment, the moonlight seeped into the inside of the window. Winster threw away all his thoughts. And he quietly blinked his eyes and confirmed an unbelievable miracle.
“... Why are these guys who should be in the dungeon on my block? And that also multiplied to four.”
Beautiful amethyst-colored eyes and silver-colored hair that is not as bright as that of a Young Lady, but is quite bright. Even a voice that growls like it's being chewed.
The look in his eyes was too bad to be considered a miracle, but for a moment, Winster thought that his face resembled the Young Lady's.
Jade Madeleine glared at Winster Calter, who was blinking blankly with fierce eyes.
After the noble meeting, while Jad was pondering the Prince's ridiculous words, these disruptors suddenly appeared. Also, there are three idiots from Vikander that Jade hates.
“...I came into this warehouse,”
Winster Calter, who was dumbfounded, in a quiet voice. The stupid face smiled brightly for a moment.
“Perhaps it is fate that you created.”
"Crazy... !”
“You were forced to come to Jedo Island because of the crazy prince. Maybe he even came to the imperial palace.”
Jade stopped swinging his sword sheath at the whispering voice. Meanwhile, the sound of the warehouse door being opened roughly was heard.

Why doesn't it open?
Winster, who didn't even blink at the guard's muttering, continued.
“To condense a long story, we just want to safely return to Vikander Territory with the Young Lady....”
The squeak of the door stopped for a moment. Even in a situation that made his heart sink, Winster looked directly into Jade's eyes and remembered. Those eyes that looked at the Young Lady.
“How can you help us?”
"It opened...!"

At the same time as the voices of the guards opening the door, Winster was pushed with such force that he fell to the floor.
Although his body was swept on the dusty floor, Winster swallowed his voice and chuckled.
“If something really goes wrong, we’re all done. Thoroughly... "

But it must have been a while since the knights came in, and those words...
My eyes widened as I looked around, unable to control my anxiety.
“Bethanny...!”
The words I couldn't suppress leaked out of my lips. It was clearly Bethany who was scrambling to hide her body on the side of the wall.
I ran toward the wall, avoiding the eyes of the guards who were urgently looking around me. Bethanny, her eyes wide and nervous, hugged me.
“Miss, are you okay?”
I asked Bethany as if something had happened.
“Bethenny, how did you get here? I

“Bethenny, how did you get here? I
You decided not to come in.”
The Lady seemed fine. Bethany put it down for an hour.
“You gave me the signal. I thought something really happened and I was very nervous.”
“Me? I've never been like that....”

The sight of torches crossing the sky was loud amidst the regret of being late.
I, who had been looking around me as she hid in the bushes to find an opening for Bethany and me to sneak around, froze when I saw the eyes meet in the night sky.
A pair of eyes looking at me. She was Baroness Sophron. Surprised faces looked back and forth between me and Bethany.
Was she following me?
It was at that moment that I felt a chill in my stomach.
"There...! Who is it?"
What ended the strange standoff was the shout of a young guard. It was as if je sensed a presence and the torch was getting closer.
“I am the head maid of Thiase Palace. What's wrong?"
It was a more embarrassing situation than if the guards found us.
With a loud voice, Baroness Sophron approached the knight. When she dropped it, the maid's shawl fell neatly where I was.
“Oh, excuse me, Ma'am."
