Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 155

155

I raised my eyebrows.

Oh, my, look at this?

I couldn’t help but smile derisively inside.

But on the outside, I blinked, pretending to be a little excited.

To make them think that even if I’m smart, I’m still just a child.

Complacency is a friend of crisis.

“…Really?”

“Yes, I am the personal attendant, the closest aide to Duke Yong.”

The attendant beamed and showed off his fancy clothes. It was ridiculous.

I couldn’t forget the image of the real Duke Yong wearing shabby clothes.

“Okay, lead the way.”

Let’s see what kind of scheme you’re up to.

When I declared this, the Orca knights seemed a little embarrassed.

I gestured to them and followed. They probably understood my gesture to wait.

“Yes, this way.”

I noticed the glances that seemed to belittle me from time to time, but I ignored them.

“I’m looking forward to meeting Duke Yong.”

Let’s see who laughs last. You [expletive].

I wonder who ordered this?

* * *

The attendant took me to the garden.

“Haha. Duke Yong is still recovering from his illness, but he must have been curious about the priest’s face.”

“Really?”

“Of course. He practically 벌떡 [beoltteok – jumped] got up and said he wanted to see you.”

The attendant’s words became lighter as we walked.

Even though it was clear that he was looking down on me as a child, I didn’t act tough or like a smart kid like before.

I acted like a child with sparkling eyes.

“Is his illness serious?”

“Well… it wasn’t that serious, but it has gotten worse over the past few months, and recently he even fainted…”

Fainted?

“Ahem.”

“Ah! Ahaha, it’s not something the priest should worry about.”

When the knight with the attendant coughed, the attendant sweated and quickly finished his words.

‘…Tus’s pain was real.’

My heart ached.

I expected it, but I hoped it wasn’t true. I knew you couldn’t be without hardship, left alone, but I only wished for your health.

Let’s think positively.

It’s fortunate that I arrived here before it got worse.

One more thing.

Tus’s identity has not been revealed yet. They don’t know that Duke Yong has been switched.

“Here it is.”

After passing through a place where flowers were blooming and entering a rather desolate space, the attendant stopped.

“If you wait here, Duke Yong will come.”

I stared at the attendant and said with a smile.

“Is he really coming? Is he?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Duke Yong is sick and even fainted recently. Then… wouldn’t it be better for me to go to his residence?”

“Yes? Ahaha… the Duke, um, hates people coming to his residence. And the fainting was just me misspeaking, ahem, he’s fine now.”

“I see. Why a flower garden of all places?”

I looked around the garden.

I don’t really like gardens.

“Oh, is that the hostage from Aquasialdel? Ugh, the smell.”

“He’s so intimidated, poor thing.”

Because the beautifully manicured garden was always a symbol of humiliation for me.

“Duke Yong likes flowers. Maybe that’s why he wanted to see the priest here?”

The attendant laughed comfortably now. With a look that completely looked down on me.

I stared at the attendant and said.

“That’s a lie.”

“…Yes?”

I turned my head and looked at the calm grass, and said calmly.

“The presence of those approaching now, you brought quite a few, didn’t you?”

The attendant paused.

“Wh, what are you talking about.”

“Weren’t the knights you brought enough?”

“Ha, haha. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

It was as if I couldn’t possibly have noticed.

“Why, did you think you couldn’t catch a small Orca kid? Is that why so many people came?”

I wiped the smile off my face.

“Ah, you’re quite good at hiding your presence. Are you high-level personnel?”

“……”

I clenched and unclenched my fists, looking around.

Instead of the attendant who had lost his words, the swordsmen behind him stepped forward.

“I don’t know how you noticed, but you’re quite something.”

“So, this is the child of that Pierre Aquasialdel, huh?”

From the beginning, the attendant was just a decoy, and this was the main body. I knew it.

Soon, people appeared from all directions. All dressed in black.

And someone from the group walked forward.

It was a face I hated to see.

It was Asel Panterion.

“Calypso Aquasialdel.”

The moment that [jerk] called me, I felt like a sneer would leak out.

To see that [jerk]’s childhood again.

All I remember about that [jerk] is his arrogant face.

He always had the same expression.

I looked around, deliberately showing tension and awkwardly smiling as if I wasn’t.

So that I would look flustered.

“What. I just guessed and got it right? How should I interpret this.”

“……”

“I came because Duke Yong called me, but there are threatening knights and the Black Panther Prince himself. Is this perhaps a declaration of war against our Aquasialdel?”

“Not at all. What are you talking about? I just came as a guide.”

Guide my [butt]. Like the attendant, his gaze was full of contempt.

“I’ll have to go with you.”

I already guessed, but I could be sure with these words.

‘I wondered why the Black Panther [jerks] opened Peseum so obediently.’

There was something else they were aiming for.

“Before that, I want to ask you one thing… you’re the Black Panther Prince, right?”

“So?”

I showed my trembling like a child pretending to be tough, and gritted my teeth.

“Why are you talking down to me, who is lower than you, the Dragon’s bride?”

The surrounding knights flared up and tried to step forward. Asel raised one hand and nodded to me.

It was an extremely arrogant greeting.

“I am very sorry, Priest. I will escort you.”

“…Where do I have to go?”

“It’s this way.”

It was useless whether he used honorifics or not, but it was meaningful just that arrogant [jerk] changed it.

The thing they were aiming for became clearer. It was none other than me.

How refreshing.

‘That’s just like you guys.’

They are the kind of guys who treat anything cruelly if it is not their precious thing.

I loosened my grip on my hand.

“Where is Duke Yong?”

“He will be where we are going together.”

I smiled and answered brightly. The 탐색 [tamsaek – exploration/search] battle is over.

“Bullshit.”

“What?”

Asel stopped walking.

“You haven’t changed at all.”

He must have felt the fighting spirit flowing from me.

A word I wanted to say at least once.

“I hated that you hid your sinister inside under a expressionless face.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

An expressionless face. For the first time, embarrassment arose on it.

I turned my head and looked somewhere behind me. I felt the wind blowing from there, and then turned my head again.

‘Good. The support will be enough.’

I smiled brightly and threw away the role of a frightened child.

My finger 까딱 [kkattak – flicked] pointed at the knights.

“Tell Duke Yong to come himself if he has something to say. My dad is desperately looking for him, isn’t he?”

I knew how to distort the boy’s arrogant face.

“You want to take me?”

I spread my legs and took a fighting stance. I loosened my neck and 풀어낸다 [pureonaenda – released].

쾅 [Kwang – Bang]!

Just like my dad kicked the floor of the plaza, my feet kicked the floor as it was.

A huge pit was dug between us.

“Go ahead and do it.”

While the dust settled. I tilted my head arrogantly.

“However, one of you… has to be stronger than me.”

While everyone was panicking, I kicked the ground. In a fight, panic is as good as defeat.

“At, attack!”

It was already too late when the nearest knight realized it.

콰앙 [Kwaang – Thud]!

The sound of a person falling was so loud that it was hard to believe.

“Oh, dear… If such a loud noise echoes, it won’t make sense to have brought you to a secret place, will it?”

“……”

“Attack now!”

Trying to deal with the rushing knights reminds me of the time I had a brawl with Baiyan’s gang five years ago.

“Damn it, be careful! She’s that Pierre [jerk]’s daughter!”

“Hey, why are you calling someone else’s dad’s name 함부로 [hamburo – carelessly]?”

“커흑 [Keoheok – Cough]!”

“Surround her quickly! Capture her!”

It was similar to the fight at that time, and it was more boring than that time.

One guy at a time.

‘One punch, three teeth, you [expletives]!’

No one could withstand the sharpened fist.

I wrapped my legs around one guy’s neck and gave him a quick force.

With a 우두둑 [ududeuk – crack] sound, the guy who screamed a 단말마 [danmalma – death cry] fell to the floor.

‘These guys aren’t even enough for a post-meal workout.’

This is probably something I can think of because I’ve already surpassed the skills of just a successor.

“Are your subordinates stupid enough not to be able to 포위 [powi – surround]?”

By the time I was dusting off my hands, only one person, Asel, was standing with both feet together.

“……”

“What are you going to do? People who are wondering what’s going on will be running from far away. Shall we do some 홍보 [hongbo – promotion]?”

I turned my head calmly.

“That the Black Panthers kidnapped the Dragon’s bride.”

“The only conclusion will be that it is groundless. You attacked first. Do you think you’ll be safe even after this?”

“Let’s see if it will be groundless or a shame for the Black Panthers. Oh, and by the way. I haven’t finished the fight yet.”

I smiled and 까딱 [kkattak – flicked] pointed my finger.

“It’s not over until you’re lying here too. Isn’t it?”

Asel gritted his teeth. The 으드득 [eudeudeuk – grinding] sound alone is outstanding.

As a very pleasant song.

“Cocky……”

Pieces of dirt and rocks floated around Asel.

The floor vibrates.

It’s the ‘power of the earth’ that those guys use. I jumped up from my seat and dodged to the side.

As if waiting, a hole appeared under my feet.

As if this wasn’t the end, boulders flew towards me.

The gravity-defying rocks were brutal. I calmly dodged and thought.

‘Oh, this guy… seems to be better than I thought.’

But it didn’t matter anyway. It’s enough if I don’t get hit.

“Did you say cocky?”

Besides.

“That word is……”

I lightly rolled my feet.

I have to teach those who don’t know manners directly with my body.

Asel was surprised by the close proximity of my face, which appeared in an instant.

“It’s something only the strong use. You cocky [jerk].”

퍼어억 [Peo-eok – Thwack]!

My fist slapped the [jerk]’s cheek.

‘Oh, he’s flying away very 시원하게 [siwonhage – refreshingly]?’

Did I get him?
