My Lucky Encounter From The Game Turned Into Reality - M.L.E Chapter 63: Saint Candidate (Part 1)

The Crown Prince, despite my visible confusion over the disappearance of the two, flashed a wry smile and told me  “You don’t have to worry.”

“What’s your plan for dealing with this? If they’re missing without any communication and their location is unknown, it could be a dangerous situation.”

“I’ve already requested the extradition of the two through official diplomatic connections. Additionally, we’ve secretly deployed special forces alongside the national intelligence agency.”

Requesting the return of the two officially through diplomatic channels and deploying unauthorized special forces were completely contrasting approaches.

Silently hoping for a peaceful resolution was the best-case scenario, but the likelihood was low.

It seemed that diplomatic friction in some form was unavoidable.

I felt the determination in the Crown Prince’s eyes to rescue the two, even if it meant assuming a certain level of risk.

But turning that determination into actual results was not an easy task.

I sat quietly scratching the back of my head, then stood up and said.

“I’ll go.”

“What?”

“Rescuing the two, I’m probably the right person. I’ll conceal my identity and move discreetly. Still, I’ll request your support in case my identity is ever revealed.”

He couldn’t have expected me to be this proactive?

Surprise and gratitude filled the Crown Prince’s face.

In truth, it was partly my fault that those two were in crisis, as I had placed a fake Lagecy of Archduke Lucas in the Freeus Republic.

“Then I’ll find their last known location and the most likely current whereabouts and send them to you through the terminal.”

“All right.”

As I was about to return to my territory, I suddenly remembered one crucial detail that couldn’t be overlooked.

“Oh, Your Highness Crown Prince. I was going to mention something about the Saints candidate…”

“Yes, I’ll actively support you, so don’t worry.”

Even before Ivril’s name came out, the crown prince nodded in agreement as if telling me to go quickly.

With this, the original goal was achieved.

Now it was time to undertake a new quest.

I immediately returned back to my territory to Arcia and Black Eagle, attempting to teleport to the Freeus Republic.

It was an unexpected entry.

—

Earl Acres was one of the closest aides to the Crown Prince.

As the second-highest-ranking Aura Master after Marquis Vincent (the second prince’s teacher) Earl Acres was an eccentric figure famous for seeking out strong individuals and wandering around to request teachings.

At 40 years old, he was still relatively young, so his reputation lagged behind that of Marquis Vincent.

However, among the knights, there was a consensus that if a Grandmaster (8th Circle) were to be born in the Reinhart Kingdom, it would be Earl Acres, not Marquis Vincent.

“Un…cle!”

Earl Acres was currently in a dire situation.

This crisis began with the escape of a girl named Michelle Otis, who had just removed her childlike appearance and transformed into a woman.

She had a reputation as an eccentric that even outshone the Auror Master, Earl Acres.

Yet here she was, uncharacteristically shedding tears, and the reason was that Earl Acres had protected her and suffered a serious injury.

“Please stop this.”

Right now, the two of them were surrounded by numerous Vanguards belonging to the Freeus Republic.

No matter how great an Aura Master was, facing numerous Vanguards without power equipment was a daunting task.

Furthermore, the individual in charge of commanding the enemy Vanguard was also an Aura Master like Earl Acres, making an escape using force impossible.

‘How did things end up like this?’

Earl Acres bit his lip tightly.

He had been close to his cousin Margrave Otis and had found his cousin’s adorable daughter, Michelle Otis was about to endanger herself.

However, who could have imagined that she, who had been so enthusiastic about finding Lucas’ legacy, would suddenly decide to travel to the Freeus Republic, while crossing the tension-filled Bringum Empire?

So, he had offered to be her personal guard, thinking he should protect her, but he had never imagined that her journey would be this dangerous.

“You thieves!”

In discovering the legacy of Archduke Lucas, which was lightly regarded as Michelle’s hobby, her understanding was beyond imagination. And a situation where ‘Louis Fairmont’ had briefly connected to the obtained legacy had occurred, leading to this predicament.

As a result, even when the Freeus Republic Vanguard treated them as thieves, there was nothing they could do about it.

“You are mistaken! We are just travelers; we have no intention of antagonizing your country! Think about it carefully! If I had impure intentions, I wouldn’t have brought a woman here with me!”

Earl Acres raised his voice desperately to clarify this, but the Aura Master who commanded the Vanguard units laughed at his explanation.

“Mistaken? What kind of misunderstanding is this? The moment that woman approached this land of the possessor, your fate was sealed, and it’s execution.”

“While it’s true that she was interested in Lucas’ Legacy, who could have known that the firewall would be so easily breached! If the purpose was to steal the Legacy, we wouldn’t have come with this few personnel!”

“Our republic never negotiates with thieves. Surrender immediately.”

It seemed futile to try to explain verbally.

“Uncle, I’m sorry.”

Even someone as eccentric as Michelle Otis found it difficult to accept death, so she continued to apologize out of fear.

Just by hearing her affectionate use of the word “uncle,” one could tell that the two were indeed close.

So, Earl Acres drew his sword with the determination to die in her place.

“To the left, do you see a thin spot in the siege? When I give the signal, run there without looking back. It seems that if you move about 300 meters, the spatial interference magic will likely disappear. Then you should be able to use teleportation.”

“But what about you, Uncle?”

“Don’t worry, I can escape alone.”

It was a blatant lie obvious to anyone.

He was currently bleeding heavily from his side, and it seemed impossible for him to escape alone while facing so many Vanguards.

“No, I can’t let that happen!”

“Stop talking and run. Now!”

However, at Earl Acres’ shout, she found herself moving her feet without even realizing it.

“A damn thief pretending to be a hero! Run after her! Don’t let them escape!”

“Where do you think you are going? Deal with me first, you bastards!”

It was an escape operation that included sacrifices with a low chance of success.

—

The Crown Prince had neatly organized and sent the location where Earl Acres and Lady Otis were likely to be…

However, the problem was that no matter how specific the location the Crown Prince had designated, the area was too broad, like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

“I’m counting on you.”

-Scratch!

But I wasn’t too worried.

I had Black Eagle’s vision-sharing skill and enhanced vision, which was like a sound-speed reconnaissance satellite.
