Chapter 798
The gates came into view
“Wait a minute!” Mercedes, as pulled by Grid, suddenly stopped She watched the soldiers guarding the gate and gently pulled her hand away from Grid There was a dark flush on her white face, and the feeling of Grid’s touch lingered on her fingertips
“Why? What’s going on?”
“Where are you going to take me?”
“Outside the empire, of course”
“What? I can’t leave”
“What?” Grid frowned “Was that guy called Gyuratan? Froh position in the empire?”
Grid had noticed that the empire didn’t know Gyuratan’s identity The demonkin were common enemies of hureat demon, they wouldn’t be able to stand by The reason Mercedes was in a crisis was due to Gyuratan’s trick
“He said that you are a traitor Aren’t you in a very dangerous situation? He will fraation to inform everyone about Gyuratan’s identity”
“Do you think people will believe you?”
Mercedes smiled bitterly at Grid’s question and replied, “Nobody will believe me I can’t believe it myself”
It had been 15 years since Gyuratan becaht He had acted as a perfect human for many years Even with her sharp eyes, Mercedes, as well as the faicians and priests, hadn’t noticed for the past 15 years that Gyuratan was a great demon Gyuratan’s ability to hide his demonic poas beyond extraordinary It was clearly the power of a great deh to mock humans
“But if I wait, I will be able to catch an opportunity I will keep my position until that day coreat deht must stop him This was a noble mission She couldn’t turn away and didn’t want to turn away Grid gave an uncertain response to Mercedes’ resolute expression, “If Gyuratan tells the eether today”
She would disappear before the chance she waited for would cohtly at Grid with a shter than sunshine
‘She could smile like this?’
It didn’t fit the appearance of a noble knight Grid ad red
Mercedes blushed at his reaction and avoided his gaze as she explained, “I will deny it Just like how people won’t believe reat demon, people won’t believe the claims that Gyuratan places on me But if I run away like this, I will have no chance to deny it So I will stay”
“In the worst case scenario, what if Gyuratan attacks you directly? Like today What will you do then? I won’t be able to help you”
“Who do you think I aliht of the eht whowas now here “Today, things turned out bad in ain next time, I can do my best”
She hadn’t taken her armor because it was her detention period, and she had allowed Gyuratan’s ic because she had believed he was a swordsman Moreover, in the first place, her morale had been at the lowest point In a situation where she hadn’t knoho to believe and had gotten trapped in her house, she had become restless and confused
However, she was okay now She knew that Gyuratan was an ene before her dissipated
“Overgeared King”
“Yes?”
“Don’t worry I will clear the wrongful accusation of the Piaro you cherish as I promised”
“Yes”
Grid ell aware of the Piaro’s past pain He desperately wanted to ree of his dark past Additionally
“You must stay safe”
Grid also wanted Mercedes He needed people with strength and talent, and Mercedes was a person close to what he wanted Mercedes stiffened like she was frozen before she asked, “Do you like me?”
It was a difficult question Grid nodded “It isn’t just liking but coveting I think about it every night”
Who in the world wouldn’t covet a noble knight like her? However, a them, Grid was the one who knew her value best Grid’s words contained this , but Mercedes accepted them differently Her ears flushed red, and she couldn’t face Grid “You are too aggressive Are you like this to everyone?”
Mercedes’ question was basically asking if he was a womanizer However, Grid didn’t realize it “No, I’m not like this to everyone I also know that I shouldn’t say this, but what can I do? You are special”
He knew that she was already the eht Grid’s ardent heart was distorted while it was being conveyed
“I-Is that so?” Mercedes ary of Grid’s attitude
‘This man isn’t ordinary’
Grid must live as a playboy He seemed like a person ould have a woman around him every day However, Mercedes didn’t hate it Grid was Piaro’s and Asmophel’s benefactor He was also the one who provided the opportunity to wash away the stights, as well as the savior of her life So, he no longer seemed like a bad person
“I won’t ask you why you are in Titan right noon’t doubtcan happen anyway”
As the edo the empire It was iht Mercedes’ wrist in order to express his strong will Then he declared, “I won’t give up on you Didn’t you say it when you were reunited with Piaro? You will repayto me Don’t you have to keep your promise?”
“So, you don’t want a lover or a wife but a slave”
“Huh?”
“You are crass”
“??”
What the hell was this? Grid was embarrassed as he belatedly realized it He was reminded of the power of his dexterity, but he had already touched Mercedes’ wrist
“It is too reedy eyes In return for saving e?”
“”
