The Lady Is A Stalker

Translated Novels

But Raven expected something different to happen.

The Baron, soon appeared as the knight"s master and started yelling at his knight.

"What are you doing standing around here for?! Quickly bring my slave back to me!"

"A slave? What is this? Since when?"

"Since now!"

"If you mean now, are you referring to the carriage accident?"

"Yes! It recklessly blocked the path of my carriage and thanks to that my wagon was destroyed. I can not let it get away."

"That"s… I"m sorry for that."

"Kuh…" Raven nervously snorted and grew worried for the n.o.blewoman whose hood covered her face. She disregarded the Baron despite the fact that she knew he wanted that child.

Considering no attendants came to her aid despite all the upheaval, the Baron seemed to be of a higher rank. Nevertheless, she showed no sign of backing down.

So such n.o.bles actually exist. Why did I not notice them before? The Prince thought that it wouldn"t be too bad if they were by his side when be becomes the Emperor. If there was a n.o.ble who had the same ideals as himself, then they would make a strong ally in the future.

As Raven thought this, the hooded n.o.blewoman, as though clueless, curiously asked the Baron, "By the way, you"re speaking really casually to me. Do you even know who I am?"

Raven"s eyes narrowed as he listened.

"n.o.bles should know their rank since they were children. If she doesn"t know such a simple thing, she could be a n.o.ble from the countryside… Was there a vacancy?" Raven thought seriously and was surprised to find this extraordinary discovery. What else did he not know about the n.o.bles?

For a moment, Raven was baffled and continued his observation. Since his minor monologue, the hooded n.o.blewoman continued to pick on the Baron"s nerves by ignoring him and politely  speaking to his knight.

“Haha ahaha … “

He didn"t know if the woman was doing it on purpose or she was really oblivious, but the whole situation was so funny that he tried to hold back his laughter.

"Ah, oh G.o.d."

Raven, who was bent at the waist laughing, calmed himself down and straightened his posture. It was pleasant to watch her, but it seemed the exchange wouldn"t end well..

"…"

The n.o.blewoman is fighting a fight that could only end in one way no matter what. Her momentum was good, but the Baron was still not an opponent she could win against. Later when he becomes Emperor, he will change everything, but for now the situation will remain the same.

Raven took a step to help her; however, at the same time she lifted up her hood.

"…"

Long silver hair, calm purple eyes and the wind softly blew her hair around her.

Raven blinked, he couldn"t understand what was happening although the scene was in front of his eyes.

The Baron, now knowing her ident.i.ty, deeply bowed and disappeared with his knight.

Raven was unable to move until Celebi picked up the child and walked through the streets.

"…"

She was the first n.o.ble on his list to destroy… 

He was confused.

"How…"

She was the same person. When Celebi identified herself, Raven was surprised and thought that someone was impersonating her. For a long time, Raven couldn"t think of Celebi as someone who would do that for someone else. But she crushed his expectations. Not to mention, Raven believed her actions weren"t fabricated.

She seemed a bit annoyed, but she protected the commoner child. That fact was as clear as day.

"Which is it…"

He stopped as if he was hung up on something and didn"t leave the area for a while.

"Atter Forest?"

After having me thoroughly check the ingredients that arrived today, Damian said, "Yes, it"s in the Prince"s jurisdiction because there are rumors of a monster appearing."

"Monster?"

"I don"t know the details yet; however, there are some people who recently saw it and said they were kidnapping people and dragging them into the forest. They"ve never seen such a huge, black, and fearsome monster. It could be a threat to public safety, so it"s better if we gather intel and kill them before there"s more victims."

"Huh."

So, monsters exist here. Come to think of it, this world also had some fantasy elements in it. So one or two monsters appearing here wouldn"t be too weird.

Not to mention, there was a legendary figure, the Crown Prince, who defeated a dragon at the age of eight with his bare hands. Of course, the story was just one of the mysteries circulating among the commoners, so no one knows if the story was true or not.

Well, he will beat one in the future, it"s totally believable. 

"Is your shoulder okay?"

"It still hurts."

With the Prince not knowing his monstrous strength, there was no way my shoulders wouldn"t be crushed. My left shoulder was treated, but my right arm was in serious condition. There must have been something wrong when he grabbed my shoulders, because when the doctor saw it he clicked his tongue.

For the time being, I was told that my left arm would have to be kept an eye on. As for my right arm, worst case scenario I will never be able to use it again. Upon hearing the news, the deputy made a fuss but he remained dumbfounded by my blunt answer: "Oh, I"m left-handed, so I"m fine."

He looked at me like I was a very strange creature…

The damage to my right shoulder was really bad and although I couldn"t lift a sword if I ever needed to defend myself, my everyday life won"t be interrupted. I didn"t want to make a big fuss about it at work, so I didn"t say what happened. The Deputy protested, but I knew that if I said it was because of the Prince, he wouldn"t give me an ounce of sympathy and I kept my mouth shut.

"Anyway, since the Commander is the only one who can deal with the monster, quite a lot of people, including the Commander, will be leaving the base for a while."

“How many days are you going?”

"About 15 days?"

That"s pretty long. Then I can rest a while. Oh, I have to take a vacation since I got a full week off.

“Come back safely," I said out of concern, but a smile was leaking out.

If I go to the hot springs that are known for healing wounds, my shoulders might get better. I could also relieve myself of my fatigue in the meantime.

While I was thinking hard on my vacation plans, Damien said in an incredulous tone, "What do you mean come back safely? You"re coming with us."

"…What?" I lifted my head instantly at his words.

Me? Why?

Why am I being dispatched to fight a monster? From the start, my combat ability was almost "0", and now I have one broken arm. I would get in the way, so I can"t imagine being useful in a monster subjugation.

"After you returned from your treatment, did you not see the soldiers?"

Because my shoulders were injured, I was inevitably absent to get them treated. I didn"t think it was a big deal and couldn"t see a problem with my leave. My condition was serious so I couldn"t afford to pay attention to the soldiers" meals anyway. I thought someone else would take care of it; however, when I went back to work in Distin, everyone was waiting for me like starved corpses.

Everyone except for the Prince that is.

Rather, he seemed more energetic that I was gone.

"Are you going to starve us for 15 days?"

"I will only get in the Prince"s way, you guys managed without me before," I whined, but my pleas fell on deaf ears.

Rather, he scratched his ear as he said, "If you"re a soldier then you"re going. What else is there to talk about?"

His words made me swallow my retort. I bit my lip with an annoyed look.

As soon as the Prince saw me in the subjugation group, he frowned. "…Why is she here?"

"Unlike you Commander, we could actually starve to death."

"…"

Raven looked like he had a lot more to say, but he kept quiet for his soldiers and never mentioned me again. I as well, pretended not to hear their conversation and turned my head away intentionally.

I was forced to go with them, but I didn"t want to stick with the Prince anymore than I could, so my goal for this mission was to stay away from him.

To get to the forest, we had no choice but to walk to the nearest portal. The procession of soldiers marching was enough to attract people"s attention.

At the front was the Prince on horseback and I walked at the very end of the line. Fortunately, even though I was in the same crowd as the Prince, there were more than 50 people between us. I looked around and saw that everyone was carrying gear and found myself lucky I didn"t have to carry anything.

When we arrived at the entrance to the forest, the day had already become dark. It was decided that we would leave at dawn the next day, so the subjugation group stayed at a nearby inn.

That night, I grew nervous at the thought of seeing a monster.
