Please Be a Traitor
Vol. 15: Heavy, Sluggish, Rapid
Chapter 73

Then, with his finger, he pointed in the direction he was looking.

“If you go straight that way, it is Elysium. Elysium refers to the entire forest inhabited by forest elves. Asking you to come must be a decision made by the elders of Elysium by majority vote. The elders are scattered, so you can’t meet them all, but if you meet one, it will probably be Keytos, whom Salik contacted.”

I nodded, thinking of the mask of rich foliage reflected in Salik’s communication magic.

Perhaps because of the image of a mysterious race, it was difficult to imagine meeting elves crowding around.

“If you go there with Lord Ezellan, there’s so much thing you need to protect. Elysium doesn’t stop people from coming in, but it doesn’t help them survive. Little elves are really like wild beasts. It is not for no reason that Salik should ask the adult elves for help.”

“It sounds like I better not go with Lord Ezellan.”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t tell me, are the two of us going there together?”

Without answering me, Karpel stared as if asking if he could do it.

Two minors are traveling abroad. Common sense didn’t seem used rightly.

But this world was about status rather than age. From most places Karpel and I were in the position of guardian. If an employee or companion caused an accident, we had to take legal responsibility.

Besides, Karpel is extremely strong.

Even earlier, his skill of slaughtering pigs was like an art.

Since he said he was fine with any magic……

I am worried, but Karpel is right.

I don’t know who it is, but if it’s the magic engraved by a rebel wizard, then it’s clear that he wants Karpel to live a long time and become an emperor.

The question is, I don’t know if Karpel will be okay.

I don’t know how to do it and I’ve never been traveling alone, so Karpel has no choice but to take responsibility for all that.

I thought it would be troublesome just to imagine.

Lord Ezellan, who was about to go to Elysium with me, was an escort knight, but the two servants who accompanied us were those to take care of Lord Ezellan and me.

In the mansion, Karpel originally said that there was no need to increase the number of his attendants because there were many things he could solve alone, so he traveled without any attendants.

Karpel alone could have played the role of a knight and two servants, a total of three.

“Really just the two of us?”

I asked him to check if he was really okay, and Karpel looked away.

He snorted and shook his head.

“Well. It’s impossible because everything about like food, clothing, and shelter will become a problem.”

If food, clothing, and shelter were the problem, I didn’t think I would be a burden.

It just seems to be a little uncomfortable in many ways, but Karpel said the degree of inconvenience was like a level that crossed my life and death.

“Not to the extent that it is an impossibility. I’m not going to wear a dress there, and I can wear this by myself. When I heard that I couldn’t even ride a horse, let alone a carriage, I was prepared to sleep on the ground. The problem is that Karpel……”

Although I have increased my stamina lately, I don’t know if I can do my share of the burden.

Isn’t that what Karpel would burden most of the time?

There was a moment of silence. Karpel glanced at me and said flatly.

“You never understand what I am thinking.”

Then do you know what I am thinking, huh?

What the hell is that look on your face if you know it, huh?

You’re saying there’s nothing bothering me?

No matter how bad I was, I thought I could pack a bundle of clothes to change on my own and a robe to use as a substitute for blankets.

“Then let’s go. I’ll have to call Lord Ezellan since my father will be worried.”

“Okay. I’ll ask for the luggage you need, so you write a letter to contact him.”

I nodded.

The person who lent me their bathroom was very happy when I told them to take all my dresses, shoes, and Karpel’s clothes.

I was surprised that there was rice in the luggage they packed for us.

It was a village with a brewery. No wonder I somehow kept smelling something soft and sweet, turned out it was the wild rice contain with alcohol.

He gave me rice and said that chewing it when I was bored would make me feel good.

It was said to be eaten raw, so I wondered if the taste of rice in this world was like sunflower seeds, so I tried it, but it was just rice.

Still, I was happy with the taste of the rice I hadn’t eaten in a while, so I chewed it, and it blew in my mouth, making it sticky and sweet.

Karpel, who tried it after him, had a faint face. It seemed that he did not understand what flavor he was eating.

After receiving so much, it became impossible for the two of us to carry.

In front of me, who contemplating what to bring, Karpel, without raising an eyebrow, removed the pouch attached to the belt, opened it, and tucked everything in.

I thought it was just a normal belt which was usually used by the knights to put their swords but it turned out it was an artifact.

The villagers were amazed and give us more bags of flour.

“It’s already full.”

The villagers were disappointed.

I too was disappointed.

Karpel hesitated at the sight of me and shook his head decisively.

I guess it’s truly already full.

In the letter to Lord Ezellan, I wrote, “We will look around here and move as scheduled, so return to the capital.”

I leave the letter to the village and we set out.

The villagers followed us out to see us off.

When I went out of the village listening to the villager’s thanks and cheers, I felt something was missing.

I thought I could smell the delicious smell of grilling meat, so I sniffed it and realized that all the pigs piled up in a heap were gone.

“It’s gone already?”

“Seems like he finished.”

Karpel moved his foot to the place where the pigs were piled up before. I followed along eagerly, too.
