Seventy-Fourth Chapter

A Free Pawn

Alus was making his way towards the palace, carrying Lilisha.

Once they made it past the middle district, which spanned the largest area, they could run unnoticed. The problem was that the next region was where the wealthy upper class lived.

Positioned near the lake that surrounded the Tower of Babel, the palace was surrounded by fences for several kilometers, with checkpoints set up at key points. A license code was necessary at each, and anyone without appointment would be turned down and marked for surveillance.

A first-rate Magicmaster was in charge of palace security, and a portion of the security force consisted of reemployed veterans, so it was as strictly guarded as the military headquarters.

The question was how to break through all that.

“So you haven’t thought of anything?” asked Lilisha, scornful. “You did get in touch beforehand, didn’t you?”

Alus wanted nothing more than to ignore her, but the conversation wouldn’t go anywhere if he did.

“I can’t be bothered to go that far. Besides, she’s probably already noticed we’re here. If we try to play by the rules, we’ll just be sent off,” Alus explained, keeping his face forward. But he tapered off at the end. “Actually, is security normally this tight? You’d think there was a terrorist threat or something.”

“There’s no way the ruler’s palace would be unguarded! As a Single Digit, haven’t you guarded it yourself? Where did all that momentum in the beginning go?” asked Lilisha.

“Aside from a few times when she was out of the nation, like for the rulers conference, Lettie was in charge of that. Anyways, it’s going to be a pain to break through by force.”

From a concealed location, Alus and Lilisha were looking at the defensive formations when Loki forcibly stepped between them.

“Whoa?!” exclaimed Lilisha.

“Ms. Lilisha, you can confirm the situation without clinging to Sir Alus like that. And we’d like to avoid fighting in the first place.”

“Won’t that be difficult? Just breaking through is already a crime,” Lilisha muttered as she gave up her position to Loki.

As a matter of fact, members of the general public and those without business weren’t allowed to even so much as approach the palace. Even when using a Circle Port, it was impossible to reach without a special code.

“Well, let’s try walking up like normal,” suggested Alus. “If they refuse us, then I’ll just have to push my way through.”

“Wow, that makes me incredibly uneasy... Even with Ms. Loki’s help, what are you going to do if something happens?” Lilisha wore a wry smile and didn’t sound too displeased about the idea.

But there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Alus, aware that he was pushing her too hard, felt the need to check her burn again.

“I’m taking a look.”

“Huh?!”

Alus moved around behind Lilisha and pulled her shirt up. It was tactless, but even Loki felt the need to take a look. So Lilisha curled up and closed her eyes in embarrassment, waiting for them to finish staring at her exposed back.

“There’s a faint trace of mana,” said Alus.
