Red Storm Chapter 188

Book 5-7.3
The chasers let them have their moment.
As fellow knights … and because no matter what happened, the princess needed to return today.
After a long time had passed, Petri slowly remove Erope’s hand, one finger at a time. Erope put more strength in her hand to prevent it, but she could feel her heart ache every time Petri’s fingers touched hers, and ended up letting go.
“Thank you very much for waiting.”
Petri bowed toward Shimax and the knights who silently waited for them, and put his sword in front of him.
“Thanks to you, I was able to earn a love I do not deserve. I have no regrets. Please make sure to protect her.”
“Petri!”
The moment Erope shouted, Petri and his steed jumped up into the air.
“Yaaaaaap!”
“Hayaaaaaat!”
Shimax shouted out loudly and received Petri’s first attack, and Stalina’s greatest knight and Erope Lot Lucia’s Guardian Knight Petri shouted back as he swung his sword fiercely toward Shimax.
Petri had avoided the chasers from the four nations for the past year, but he could not continue anymore. It was the Royal Commander and the Royal Knights that were after them.
Not a long time passed before Petri’s stance started to turn ugly. To be honest, it was because Shimax had gone easy on him because of the tragic situation facing Petri that he was able to last this thing on the first place.
“Give up. If you move aside ……”
“Master Shimax!”
Petri shouted loudly at Shimax’s words, and Shimax thought he had no choice.
‘It’s still too bad. A master knight like him would be welcomed no matter where he went … Princess Erope, you have killed tens of thousands of lives and now you will take the life of an outstanding knight as well.’
Shimax decided to go all out and started to aim for Petri’s vital points.

“Shouldn’t we help them?”
Aizen whispered to Yulian, but Yulian shook his head.
“If they were people of the desert, the fact that they came all the way here would mean that they had committed a severe sin. However, looking at their outfit, they are not people of the desert. I want to help, but I cannot intervene without knowing what the situation may be.”
Aizen started to smile as he answered.
“But hyung-nim, you helped me out back then even though you didn’t know who I was, didn’t you?”
“That was because you were protecting the fallen Hwai-nim without caring for your own life. I didn’t have any time to consider things before deciding to help.”
“One of them is a woman as well.”
“Indeed. Should I help them?”
“Based on their outfits, they seem to be knights from the continent.”
The other could only blankly look to see what those tiny dots were doing, but Yulian, Aizen, and a couple of the Red Storm warriors were able to even tell some of the people’s facial features out.
“If they were people of unknown origin it may be one thing, but is it okay for us to intervene in a matter of foreign knights?”
Both Yulian and Aizen had important identities, and this was not a situation they could just randomly intervene.
“Let’s just watch for a moment.”
Yulian nodded his head and ordered Captain Thriger to bring the ship close to shore.
The two runaways seemed to have given up, as they stopped their horses and started to chat with the chasers.
Grace and Adelina had chosen to get off of Shopping’s head and stood next to their men and got a breakdown of what they were saying.
They did not know the situation very well, but they were able to figure things out after hearing the conversation. Something that seemed to come out of a novel was happening in front of their eyes. And there were two people who were not able to get out of that novel.
“We need to help them.”
Adelina nodded her head at Aizen’s words.
“Please do so.”
“Aizen!”
Yulian was slightly shocked at the conversation and called Aizen over.
“Regardless of the situation, it is only proper for a Guardian Knight to protect his lady and to do what she wishes. Making a pact to be a Guardian Knight is sacred and not to be taken lightly. It would be good for someone who understands that to help.”
Captain Thriger let out a sigh and started to speak.
“The Narrate Empire is a strong nation in the Western continent. It may be far away from our Pareia, but it would not be good for us to have a conflict with them. Also, from the sounds of it, the other two nations are also pretty strong nations, aren’t they?”
“The Guardian’s Pact stands in front of any and all promises, and the first order on the Knight’s Creed is to protect the women, so there will be no issues with my action.”
“Your Knight’s Creed is so complicated. Why don’t all of you follow it?”
“It sure is. I also want to help out as a fellow maiden’s Guardian Knight.”
Aizen answered while smiling and kissed Adelina’s hand before continuing.
“Adelina, I’ll be back.”
“Please be careful.”
Aizen smiled once Adelina took a handkerchief out of her pocket and tied it on his wrist.
It was a very cheesy sight, but the two of them seemed so natural. Other people may be jealous of such a relationship, but the desert warriors did not feel that way, as they were required to take on at least three wives.
Seeing Aizen jump off the large ship, Yulian had no choice but to move as well. He knew he didn’t have to worry about Aizen because Aizen was strong, but there were a lot of chasers and one of them had at least Shubeon’s level of strength.
The Red Storm warriors tried to jump off as well, but Yulian stopped them. It would feel like a threat if too many of them stepped forward, and as Thriger mentioned, it would most definitely cause a diplomatic issue.
When Yulian and Aizen arrived, the knight called Petri had injuries on at least ten different location and was having a hard time defending against the Royal Commander’s sword.
“Who are you?”
Some of the Narrate Empire’s Royal Knights shouted toward the two approaching men, but Aizen instantly jumped into the battle and was blocking Shimax’s sword in Petri’s place.
“Nice to meet you.”
As Yulian casually walked over to Princess Erope whom Grace had called immature, Erope subconsciously bowed her head and greeted him back.
“Yes...nice to meet you.”
“The desert is really hot, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“It will be finished soon. Will you escape first?”
“May I ask who you are?”
“My name is Yulian.”
Erope hesitated for a moment before responding.
“I will wait.”
“Whatever works better for you.”
Yulian casually smiled and prepared to jump in if needed, while watching Aizen and Shimax fight against each other.
