Wortenia Senki Volume 1 Chapter 8

Chapter 1 E 8 (Escape 4)

Let's turn back the time for a bit. 

The injured person that have been taken to the medical office is actually Ryouma. 

Of course, he holds a certain amount prospect of being a success. 

Ryou judgment where the people that going to come inside won't be able to remain calm is correct. 

He have no doubt that the soldiers will fall into stagnation if they do so. 

And thanks to that, it would be remarkably disadvantageous if they know his face even after he successfully escapes. 

Because Ryouma called Rolph's name, he unconsciously pulls down his guard, and decide to sent Ryouma to the medical office. 

"Gu... Goho... Goho..." 

Ryouma then displayed coughed violently. 

"Oi! Carry this person to the medical office immediately!" 

"Be patient, a little bit more! Are you listen?! we're about to arrive at the medical office! Don't lose your consciousness you hear? You will die if you do!" 

The soldiers who carry Ryouma using stretchers encourage Ryouma. 

Ryouma also desperately complains about the pain. 

It's as if, a Hollywood actor pretending to be injured. 

"Alright! We've arrived!" 

The soldier immediately knocked on the wooden door after shouting such thing. 

"Sensei! Open up, there's an emergency patient here!"  

After a few seconds, the door opens immediately from the inside. 

It seems that he has gained a lot of experience as a doctor for many years. While talking, he was able to prepare for the treatment quickly. 

"So? How's the condition of the patient?" 

"Ha! It seems like the person is in a dangerous state. " 

"ーー. This looks quite severe, what had happened?" 

The doctor approaches Ryouma while saying such words. With no warning... 

The sword of Ryouma who stop acting, swoop over the doctor's neck. 

Ryouma then jumps up from the bed quickly, and strike a nearby soldier who's standing still stunned cause of the sudden situation. 

The sword cut the throat of the soldier who's unable to understand what was happening. 

He seems to have thought that he should not fight alone and bring someone. 

This is not an attack toward the soldier. It would be okay if he can disturb the soldier attempt to escape, that is what he had thought. 

*Dosha* 

Fortunately, the sheath hit the back of the soldier's knee, and he falls down after losing his balance. 

As death come closer, the soldier tried to fend off Ryouma desperately. However, when Ryouma's thick right arm tightens up on his throat like a capstan, the soldier instantly stop moving. 

Ryouma ask the soldier as calm as possible. 

But, that is precisely why the soldier feels fear. 

The soldier's intention to call help the moment when Ryouma hands relaxed is gone. Ryouma keep himself alerted. 

"By the way, I do not have much time see. Will you please tell me soon?" 

After whispering such words, Ryouma put more power on his arms. 

The fear of death began to break the soldier's, heart. 

"Just... from this... place... turn right...  pa.s.sage...then exit... pa.s.s... through the courtyard..." 

"Go out and exit from the right pa.s.sage, then pa.s.s through the courtyard right?" 

After confirming it, the soldier nods, Ryouma then puts more force on his arms and tightened the soldier's throat further. 

The power of the soldier who tried to push Ryouma body as an act of last struggle grew weaker. 

"My bad..." 

After Ryouma removes his arms that had been used to choke the soldier throat, he stares at the corpse of a soldier lying under his eyes and mutters such words. 

Inspecting the body of the three bodies, he took the bags filled with gold coins from them. Also, Ryouma used the bandage and the hot water to wipe away the blood from his helmet and armor. 

When all of the blood have been wiped out, Ryouma put fire on everything inside the medical office. 

After Ryouma had left the medical room where it has become filled with black smoke, he took a deep breath. 

"Fire~~~, There's Fire~~~!" 

Ryouma voice echoes inside the Royal Palace. 

A fire outbreak happens inside the royal palace is a very serious matter. 

He changed his complexion that he usually he has. 

"Fire~~! The fire broke out from the medical office~~!" 

"Fire? Where is the fire?" 

"From the medical office! Bring water immediately!" 

"No! Call the Imperial court magician! Ask them to extinguish the fire in one go with magic!" 

"You stupid!  We need to evacuate His Majesty and the royal family first!" 

The panicked voice of a soldier, maid, and a butler can be heard. 

Carry the things that are valuable. I will ask the boss for instruction. And the one who running around carrying buckets of water in hand. It would be right this is the so called the melting pot of confusion. 

He feels guilt for trampling over the flower, but, right now such thing is a trivial matter, that's what he had thought. 

However, thanks to that he did not notice Ryouma that have escaped along with soldiers of the aristocrats. Ryouma who's wearing the Imperial Guard armor mixed with aristocrats, trying to get away from the palace.

What Ryouma currently in is actually a wonderful miscalculation Spontaneously smiles floats on his face. 

In Ryouma eyes, the figure of the aristocrats tries to escape at the castle gate appears. 

"Fuu~~. I guess, I manage to do it huh..." 

Ryouma who walk along with the aristocrats succeeded at pa.s.sing the gate without being questioned. 

Ryouma then turned around staring at the white castle that he just escaped from. As if trying to oppose its grand appearance...
