Adriana is Safe

The guards who were beaten with magic by the man named Ferdinand were healed by Adriana. There are four people in total. Apart from the two people Cyril saw, the other two seemed to have been thrown to the end of the large room and passed out.

"Everything is fine now. I've healed all the wounds." Adriana smiled, very sweet.

Cyril scratched the back of his neck which didn't itch at all from nervousness. If she's as beautiful as this, it's only natural that Cyril in the novel he's read is crazy about Adriana. Even though her clothes looked like they had rolled in the mud, her face was shining.

"Are you injured too, Knight? Ah, I don't know your name yet." Adriana left the people who had been treated and stepped closer to Cyril.

Cyril gasped, embarrassed by his thoughts. "No, I'm fine, Princess. I am Cyril, the guard knight that His Majesty brought here!" Cyril saluted.

"Algis is upstairs?"

"Yes, Princess. His Majesty has come to pick you up." Cyril confirmed.

Adriana's eyes glazed over. She quickly wiped away the tears that were about to come out. Now that only she could rule, Adriana said, "You take Ferdinand, we'll get out of here!" She exclaimed with authority.

The four guards who were there straightened up. Ferdinand was still unconscious on the floor of the cave. Two knights led him to his feet and dragged him down the street where Cyril had appeared earlier.

After making sure everyone left first, Cyril invited Adriana to walk in front of him. "Please, Princess, we must also catch up!"

Adriana walked without saying much. Cyril was curious about the crushed stone after being refined earlier. She wanted to be curious, but couldn't ask. It seemed he would have to wait longer to get that information.

"I wonder how His Majesty arrived so quickly. As soon as the movement of your soldiers should arrive the day after tomorrow."

No need to explain in more detail, what Adriana just said was true. Even Adriana's estimate was two days faster than Algis's estimate when he left. Their horses should have been dead by the time they got here from overexerting themselves. Then none of them except a few strong people like Fearish who might have been in the war were able to take action.

"We used to warp, princess!"

Adriana paused, looking shocked and disbelieving. "His Majesty seeks warp mages. Good grief!"

Cyril nodded slowly. "Your Majesty does not need to look for it, Princess. I can do it!"

Does Cyril sound arrogant now? Because Adriana seemed even more surprised now. It was as if he had just been told that the sun would rise from the west starting tomorrow. Slowly, Adriana's surprise disappeared, and her gaze became soft.

"Thank you for helping me, sir. I don't know what will happen to me if Your Majesty comes any longer!" Adriana's language is a little more sonic than before. Instead of calling him a knight, Adriana used the word Master now.

"Not! I'm just doing what I'm supposed to. You will be our queen someday." Somehow Cyril got better at bragging now.

However, his boast succeeded because Adriana blushed. "There are many candidates who are better than me!"

Even though he wanted to scream in his heart that he already knew Adriana would win in the end, Cyril restrained himself very well. He just smiled.

Dimly he heard Ferarish's voice asking the guard who was the first to walk with Ferdinand. As soon as they exited the hole into the room where they had branched off earlier, Cyril could immediately see Fearish rushing over. The man still had time to cast a disdainful look at him.

Cyril didn't care about any of that at all.

"Princess, I am so glad you are well!"

Adriana looked at Fearish with an appraising look. Cyril wanted to know what the main female character in the story she had read before waking up here was thinking.

"I can see that you are very worried about me. Look, you sent only one knight."

Cyril wanted to thank Adriana for letting him see Fearish's pale face.

"He--just luck, princess. A lazy knight like him can help the princess well." Fearish is still trying to get a face to appear.

Cyril widened his eyes. Of course as an expression of not caring.

"He deserves to be lazy for having such a great ability! This knight can use warp magic right? I'm glad there's finally a mage with a lot of mana capacity to warp in our kingdom."

Even if Adriana lost the queen election as she feared, even though Cyril knew that she would become queen, Adriana would still be able to dominate everyone with what she had. First the beauty. Then the healing magic.

"Come on Master, let's get out of here! The one who brought Ferdinand there, go first!"

Adriana passed Fearish and Cyril did the same.

Cyril didn't have to turn to know what had happened to the captain of his squad. The man was so angry that it gave him chills.

***

"It's been too long, we have to send a few more people in addition!" Algis stood in front of the mouth of the cave, near the steep stairs with weathered handrails.

"Your Majesty, don't you believe in Cyril?" Borneo got the strength from that name earlier and because of that Algis became annoyed, unable to do anything.

He trusted Cyril. Also believes that the man will bring Adriana out safely. It's just too long. Waiting is a tedious thing that can make people impatient to wait.

"Calm down, Your Majesty, Ferdinand is there too, Adriana must be fine!" Count Affonso, Adriana's father approached Algis and seemed to persuade him. There was only doubt in his eyes.

The suspicion that made Algis suspicious. He was also curious about the reason Adriana entered the cave which had been lying dormant long enough to just take a walk. Plus the strange magic energy explosion earlier.

"FERDINANT!" Count Affonso shouted.

Algis looked back immediately and found two people in the same uniform as the soldiers in the Freifau residence supporting a man who was drooping unconscious. There were traces of meeting the man called Ferdinand. Two other guards followed, holding each other and looking exhausted. They all looked exhausted. It was only after these people that Adriana appeared, followed by Cyril.

"Adriana!" Algis doesn't care about anyone anymore.

He walked quickly to Adriana and hugged the girl tightly, feeling very relieved. Adriana was dirty, looking a little tired, but unharmed.

Cyril had scratches on his face, his clothes were dirty, but not like Adriana's. Seeing Algis and Adriana hugging, Cyril dodged. He dropped dramatically under the nearest tree from the mouth of the cave. Borneo seemed to be approaching him in a hurry, carrying out the role that Algis was supposed to do.

"Where did you get such a knight?" asked Adriana after their hug session was over.

Algis knew who he was referring to. "He entered the palace knight army. He's from the common people," Algis replied.

He had only heard all that information from Fearish and the information received seemed to be the things that made him doubt Cyril's abilities.

"He is great. You are lucky to have a knight like him."

"Yes," said Algis.

He and Adriana both turned to Cyril who acted unconcerned. The attitude of someone who does not want to be noticed and wants to be ignored.

"Aren't you curious about the origins of a knight who can use magic? Isn't it rare for a knight to be able to do magic like that?"

Adriana is smart because besides loving her, Algis also feels very helped by the girl's existence. He then hugged Adriana again.

"We'll think about that later, we better head back to the Freifau residence. There are many things I want to ask you. Then--you also want to tell me a lot of things, right?"

From his expression, Algis had guessed the right thing.
