Chapter 704: The Fight for Time 4

Luke decided to move in a separate path from the allies.

He decided to use his long-range teleport magic several times and moved towards Nemesis.

It was because, going with a horse would consume a lot more time, and if he was found out by the enemies, he would have to deal with another problem.

Wheeing!

At the moment when a white light flashed on the vacant lot of a forest, around 100 people appeared inside it.

They were the units led by Luke.

Hwang Bo-sung and his Guard Knights, Scarlet, who had succeeded in her special missions several times, Shirley, who was well aware with Nemesis, and Erwin the Court Wizard.

Jo Mimi and princess Ja-hye too accompanied them with their own escorts.

Luke looked around to see if there was anyone moving around the forest, and gave out instructions.

“For today, we will stay here. Get ready to camp.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Hwang Bo-sung hastily divided the Guard Knights into two, one for camp and the other for cooking dinner.

As the knights scattered to do their tasks, Jo Mimi and Ja-hye lay down on the blankets.

“Huh?! Teleporting, it is something a girl can never adapt to.”

“I feel the same. I feel dizzy and everything is messed up…”

As the two princesses seemed to have a poor complexion, Erwin grabbed onto Luke and whispered.

“I told you that it was unreasonable to bring them along with us.”

“What are you?! How am I supposed to cut down a thread which is important?!”

“Right! As is Your Majesty is the final destiny for the people!”

Like one was in a fantasy.

Erwin recalled a very old poem, and laughed to herself.

Luke would take along any person who would seem useful to him.

However, both the women mistook it like they were admitted to marriage.

‘Well, isn’t that laughable?’

Erwin sighed to herself.

Shortly before they left Brandon, Zegal Soha, and herself, both of them gave Luke a hint on what they were feeling. A little more openly than before!

But, Luke didn’t answer them at all.

Zegal Soha thought that her way to Luke’s heart was still far, but she didn’t seem to be too upset.

His gaze didn’t seem as cold as before.

‘But, I feel something off, it has been happening for a while. What is that?’

Erwin looked around.

Unlike her, Luke was well aware from the very beginning of who that energy belonged to.

He looked at the woods and smiled.

‘That girl, she was following well?’

Karen, who just teleported, was hiding in the area where Luke’s gaze fell.

Originally, it wasn’t easy to find out the coordinates which other people used by teleport, however, she was known to have excellent magical power, and it was proven that she was the only hope in the apocalypse.

“Your Majesty, the meal is ready. Please have it.”

Hwang Bo-sung served the just cooked soup and broke it on a plate.

Luke nodded, and pointed to the woods, and spoke softly to Hwang Bo-sung.

“Give it over there and come.”

“Sorry?”

“Because there is a tomboy who is hungry yet following us.”

Hwang Bo-sung didn’t understand it, however, he realized what Luke was saying.

He took out his light and ran over to the place where Luke pointed to.

And found a girl in a travel suit who was sitting behind a tree.

“Princess Karen!”

When Hwang Bo-sung appeared, Karen seemed surprised.

How did he notice that she was hiding behind a tree even after she used a spell to completely erase her presence?

Even if the man was a Fist Sage, with her stealth magic, it didn’t seem right for that man to know where she was hiding.

“Uh, how did you know that I was hiding in here?”

“That was because Your Majesty gave me a small tip.”

At Hwang Bo-sung’s words, Karen looked over to her dad and sneered.

Luke was still seated on a tree stump and was eating the bread, pretending not to know.

‘Dad is bad. He knew and yet he pretended not to know till now?’

Was what she thought to herself, she believed that she was secretly tailing them.

It seemed like she was ‘in the palm of the Lord’, what Saint Nanda had often spoken to her about.

Hwang Bo-sung glared at Karen, who was thinking about Luke.

“Since when were you following us? Did you get permission from Her Holiness, nor Her Majesty?”

“No, I came over secretly. If mom knew, she would have never left me.”

Hwang Bo-sung sighed looking at the child who put her tongue out and tried to look cute.

“Haa… for a princess to act like such a boy and move on instinct! Anyway, come over to His Majesty.”

Hwang Bo-sung was given all the memories from his future self.

So he knew the truth about Karen, and he felt like he knew the kind of person she was because of the time he spent with her.

But such behavior would cause trouble for her.

‘I don’t get it, has her personality changed since the time she came from the past?’

Karen, who was supposed to be in a different time, always had a stiff face from her childhood because of the burden she had to carry.

There was no other person like her.

But now, seeing her smile out loud, he felt relieved that her personality seemed to change a lot brighter.

Thinking so, Hwang Bo-sung took Karen to Luke.

Once she came close, Luke formed a fist and thumped her on her head.

Kung!

“Ah!!”

“This girl! Do you have any idea how worried your mom would be?”

Karen, who seemed to be on the verge of tears, rubbed her head and asked.

“I am sorry about that. But since when did dad know that I was following you?”

“From the time I started in Brandon. You must have thought that you hid yourself well, but there is a peculiar energy to those who use Aether. And you always gave out that energy since the moment you came to Brandon.”

“Sh*t, if you knew, then you should have come to me.”

“That couldn’t be done. Your mother would have come over to catch you.”

Right, her mom was that kind of a person.

Probably by now, realizing that Karen had disappeared, she probably turned the Holy Palace upside down.
