Chapter 111: Interlude 3: The Road to the Capital

Crusch, along with his other soldiers, in addition to a portion of the wounded Anastasia Army, are currently on their train heading to the capital to show that they have triumphed in the Battle against the White Pope, Crusch looked at the scene of the Lifaus road as he sighed for the sixth time in the past hour, in his mind there was only one image.

"*Sigh*Why can't I stop thinking about Natsuki Subaru...?" Crusch whispered to himself, the sun has risen and now Felix, Wilhelm and Subaru are heading to the Mathers Territory. And he's here to rest and make sure he doesn't get hurt.

'Right now I feel useless, ' Crusch thought as he lowered his eyes, clenched his fists helplessly, letting someone near death go to fight immediately, the one who had saved them, the one who had saved them, it was not funny for Crusch and especially the soldiers who had been wounded and saved by Subaru's foolish attempt to kill the White Pope alone.

Given that, the atmosphere inside the carriage was really tense, the drivers did not dare to say anything, not even asking how they defeated Evilbeast, either, because it seems to be taboo for everyone in the Expeditionary Force.

The journey continues to run normally, even the streets are too quiet. It confused the merchants, as they had traveled many kilometers away from the Great Flugel Tree, so there were at least three or four carriages passing through them, but they did not see them.

A few seconds later an explosion could be heard from the front warning everyone in the carriage, Crusch managed to see what happened to the front carriage, he was a little nervous because the strength they had was not enough to defeat whatever was there.

“All carriages stop!” Crusch shouted while picking up the sword that was on his waist, hoping they could defeat their attacker, the carriage stopped in front of a man in white clothes, the man looked average and his hair was white. If you see him among a group of people, you will definitely forget him immediately.

The white-haired man shrugged at everyone in the expedition looking at him, showing that he did not care how they looked at him or what they thought of him, yet he seemed to have little attention to talk and tried to lighten the atmosphere of the surroundings.

"Well, at least you have the manners to stop the train in front of someone. Perfect. What a show of humanity you have, it means it will be easy to start a conversation with you" said the white-haired man while giving everyone a friendly smile, which seemed to touch the nerves of some soldiers. Who ran towards the stranger who tried to cut him in half.

When the Sword touching the man's broken body made the four soldiers completely confused, the white-haired man seemed to be furious, and with a single movement of his hand, the soldiers were ruthlessly dismembered, stunned by what had happened, Crusch clenched his hand.As he watched the four soldiers die, he once again felt useless.

"Hey, you dared to attack me as I tried to speak, it clearly violates my right to speak!

Doing that doesn't make them human enough to make me angry!" Said the white-haired man while looking with annoyance at the dismembered bodies of the soldiers who dared to attack him as he spoke.

"*Batuk*Sorry to interrupt, as I said... Ah, ja. I remember, I remember. Since you didn't attack me even after killing the people who tried to bump into me with their carriage, you didn't violate my rights so I won't kill you for now. " The stranger said to the others, the expedition winking at them, the soldiers heard it reached a level of anger they had never felt before. Even after a few seconds the anger did not subside in the slightest.

“Who are you?” Crusch asked as he waited for an answer from the white-haired man.

"I see, I see. You don't know me, do you?... But I know you, you're one of the candidates for the throne of the Kingdom, right?" The white-haired man said as he looked at Crusch with a smile that did not' Not take away all his thoughts, plus the answer he gave him made Crusch's anger soar that it seemed like he was about to explode.

Once calm, Crusch will speak again, but the sound of something falling rips him away from his intentions, Crusch slowly turns his head to the side, only to find the body of his army lying on the ground, and his, all of them with wounds on their legs.neck, blood came out of some mouths and there was even no idea that they were dead.

A voice interrupted Crusch's thought process, causing any reaction he had to postpone until the person finished speaking.

"Haaa, no matter how much I eat, it is not enough to satisfy me. I eat, I devour, I chew, I bite, I devour, I bite, I bite, I chew, I crush ... It's a party full of food. Gluttony!" A strange boy walks behind Crusch, with his back fully bent and sharp teeth. A maniacal expression on his face as he approached Crusch step by step, the throne candidate saw a bloody dagger in his hand, knowing that one step was wrong and he was about to meet the same fate.

"Thank you for the food!"

Crusch learns that he was left alone, as all of his soldiers were either killed or in critical situations, he decides to remain calm while trying to figure out the identities of the two attackers.

"You are..."

"Archbishop of the Witch Sect, Representative of Greed. Regulus Corneas." Said the white-haired man with a calm smile on his face, making Crusch's fear gradually increase.

"Archbishop of the Witch Sect, Representative of the Gluttony. Ley Batenkaitos." Said the long-haired boy, smiling at Crusch with his fangs as if he was looking at the best piece of meat, and had not eaten for weeks. It made Crusch flinch at such a gaze.

Regulus only looked at Crusch with a hint of pity, not because he felt sorry for him, but because he really felt sorry for his existence, for him it would be a great addition to his wife, he had even thought for a few seconds to give his number, but now that he was in the eyes of one of the three greedy fellows it seemed a bit difficult to get him out of this situation.

'This guy is mocking the death of everyone here, how dare he!' Crusch thought as he squeezed his hand so hard that blood began to flow from him, standing between what could be the two most dangerous people in the world bearing a heavy weight on Crusch's shoulders.

Ley did not wait any longer and lunged at Crusch directly into his left hand, as it was so close to its target and with its mouth already salivating, no one could stop it. 

Out of nowhere a fist appeared on Ley's path, hitting Ley's face so hard that it made her fly far into the distance, wearing the Knights of the Royal Guard uniform, and bright red hair. The only person who was able to stop him had arrived.

"I'm sorry for the delay, Lady Crusch. You're safe now." Said the heroic figure standing between Regulus and Crusch, the green-haired girl managed to see everything in slow motion, shocked by the man's strength.

"At my friend's request, Subaru Natsuki. I, the Holy Sword of this generation. Reinhard van Astrea, I'll stop them." Reinhard said while Crusch could only hear the word "Subaru Natsuki" from Reinhard's statement, making him think of the black-haired boy who had helped him a lot before fainting.
