EP.142
Amelia Windsor’s days are gloomy these days.
“Are you okay?”
“yes.”
“It looks like a corpse that just came back to life.”
“yes.”
“…Ame?”
I slapped my one and only precious little brother on the cheek.
At that time, she had no choice but to quickly stop Luid from committing murder, but
Amelia was regretting it. You hit the face of your little precious little brother that you had to protect.
She is disqualified both as a knight and as a sister.
“You must have been quite shocked.”
Charlotte laughed awkwardly.
“But shouldn’t I come out of the corner of the room now? Everyone is waiting. “There is no one to take overall charge.”
“There’s no way a useless person like me could be of any help…”
Amelia, who was depressed, could not hear Charlotte’s words.
“The condition is serious.”
Only then did Charlotte’s expression become serious.
“…I want to be alone.”
“But today I bring good news. “Is it okay if I don’t listen?”
Amelia spoke in a dying voice.
“I’m not worth hearing that…”
“Luid came out of the room. Moreover, I even used a large spell on the defense line to block this wave. “Isn’t now an opportunity to reconcile?”
“Even if I heard that story, I don’t know… Are you Lou Lou?!”
The table where Amelia was sitting fell over.
Struggling, Amelia came in front of Charles and held his hands together.
“Louis came out? “Somewhere!”
“I was so surprised… Yes. “I heard they were looking for you?”
“I’m going right now…!”
Amelia quickly tried to go outside. But he soon stopped acting.
-Stay calm for a while. Surely you wouldn’t just slap your younger brother and get away with it? He is on probation for the time being.
Because Irene’s words came to mind.
Yes. Amelia wasn’t here voluntarily.
Commander and successor of the Knights of Windsor. It was Irene’s ‘order’.
Amelia, who was low in the hierarchy both within the family and within the knights, could not be rejected.
“Me too.”
Charlotte smiled lovingly and stroked Amelia.
“I once had a lot of accidents.”
“Accident…?”
“huh. Before Irene, Victoria was the leader, and I have been there ever since. Even when I was ordered to stay on probation, I would always run away and go out to play.”
Charlotte made a V and placed it on her cheek.
“Because probation is no fun!”
“That’s because… Charlotte is strong.”
“How strong can I be? “Compared to our Excellency the Duke, he’s a pale skin.”
Charlotte whispered.
“Let’s run away. That’s okay. “Vice-captain Lee will guarantee it!”
Amelia’s pupils dilated.
Before being Irene’s younger brother, he was a knight of Windsor.
You cannot disobey your superior’s orders.
but…
“You want to go to Louis and apologize, right? “If too much time passes, our relationship will continue to deteriorate like this for the rest of our lives?”
More than that, I had a strong desire to meet Ruid.
**
Amelia eventually broke the probation order and came out.
The knights of Windsor, who were on watch to observe her restraint order, did so secretly without knowing.
Because I know everything about it. In fact, he even encouraged me and told me to make peace with my younger brother.
Amelia was so grateful that she had tears in her eyes. So, the problem was that Irene was with me while I was looking for Ruid.
“fail.”
Amelia flopped down and sat down.
“I can’t see you when I’m with you.”
“That’s right… If you have Irene’s personality, you won’t be safe. hmm.”
Charlotte said brightly, raising her index finger.
“How about going to Louis’ room?”
“Wouldn’t that be… difficult? “There will be a spell on it.”
Due to this incident, Ruid locked himself in his room and placed a magic on the room that no one could access.
The magic may have been broken now that Louis came out, but-
It was more likely than not. Just because I left the room didn’t mean my anger went away.
“Just this once.”

Charlotte grinned.
“yes?”
“I will release that magic.”
“…Can Charles do it?”
“iced coffee. “What do you think of the vice-captain?”
Charlotte pounded her chest, telling herself to only trust her.
Although she was a sword-wielding knight, she was closer to a magic swordsman.
“It would be impossible if you were serious about it, but you are a child, right? When a young child has a problem, he or she wants someone to solve it. “It must have been set as a barrier that can be broken.”
Charlotte’s guess was sound. More than anything, Amelia wanted to quickly apologize to Ruid.
Wounds fester over time. By then it was already too late.
Amelia made up her mind and headed to the Windsor mansion. Ruid’s room was on the second floor.
“Hmm… it doesn’t look easy. It’s full of Ruid’s magic here. “It looks like they canceled the barrier and didn’t take it.”
There were about 7 visits to the second floor. Among them, Ruid’s room is the middle one.
However, due to the effect of the barrier, it became impossible to know where the entrance was. Charlotte first opened Louis’ door.
“That sucks.”
Charlotte understood the nature of the barrier at a glance. It was a space-type barrier. It made it impossible for anyone without permission to even find it.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to open all the doors?”
“If it were such a simple magic, it wouldn’t have taken this much magic power.”
Charlotte smiled strangely and pulled out her sword.
“I’m sorry to Ruid, but I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to destroy it.”
“Now wait a minute. “If you destroy the second floor, Ruid will definitely be angry.”
“Oh, it’s not the second floor that’s being destroyed. “I’ll just cast a spell.”
Charlotte planted her sword on the floor with a confident smile.
He muttered something under his breath, as if the assessment that he was the strongest of Windsor’s knights was not a lie.
It was a mysterious language. Amelia heard it right next to her, but couldn’t even remember what it meant or what it said.
“Go away from false illusions and project only the truth in front of me.”
I could clearly understand what was just said.
As soon as those words were finished, a crack appeared in the air with a cracking sound.
Charlotte continued to recite the spell with the same smile.
“If the truth has revealed itself, devour the lies.”
Light leaked out from the cracked void. Amelia covered her eyes with one hand. But I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
‘amazing.’
Even if the caster, Ruid, is away, breaking Ruid’s magic is not something that anyone can do.
This in itself proved how strong Charlotte was.
Amelia admired Charlotte.
‘Will I be able to do something like that someday?’
“Amidst all the lies, you are the only truth – erase the wrong things in this world and reveal yourself to the world.”
At that moment, Charlotte slashed her sword in four directions in an instant.
A slash entered the space where the crack was, and the crack, which had swelled as if struggling, broke with a pop.
Charlotte wiped away the sweat as she sheathed her sword.
“Whew. I never thought I would have to recite it three times. As expected, Ruid is amazing.”
“This…”
Amelia opened her eyes wide and looked around.
It was clearly the space I had been standing in just a moment ago, but it looked different.
The walls were filled with magical writing, and especially on Ruid’s visit, it was written like this.
-Amelia you fool.
“The space we saw just now is entirely an illusion. So, I couldn’t go into Ruid’s room.”
Anyway, it’s cute. Maybe it was because I was so upset?
said Charlotte, caressing the crooked writing and laughing.
“Then shall we go in?”
“yes.”
Amelia got a little nervous, grabbed the doorknob of Luid’s room and turned it.
But there was a completely unexpected person inside.
“Ruby?”
“Oh!”
“…hello. Charlotte Amelia.”
Ruby bent down with the pack in her mouth. Charlotte laughed awkwardly.
“sorry. “I was eating and you interrupted me.”
“it’s okay.”
“But why is Ruby here…”
Ruby got up from Ruid’s bed.
“I was trapped. Thank you for breaking the barrier. “I was in trouble because this was the only blood transfusion pack left.”
“Trapped?”
“Young master forgot and left without disarming the barrier.”
Amelia understood the situation.
“You have suffered a lot.”
“Have you met Louis?”
Ruby asked bluntly.
Amelia shook her head.
“I came here to meet you. I plan on waiting. “Ruby, you can go now.”
Ruby said, ignoring Amelia’s words.
“Then where is Ruid now?”
“…I believe you are with Irene.”
Ruby’s expression hardened.
“Ruby?”
Amelia, sensing something unusual, asked back. She felt uneasy.
“Irene is trying to say something to Ruid now.”
Ruby seemed a little hesitant. I closed my eyes and thought about something. And when I opened my eyes, I was filled with strong confidence.
“Ame. Hurry and go before it’s too late. “If you miss this period, Ruid may no longer be your cute little brother.”
**
Ruby and Rosalie.
These two are twins and look exactly alike, but their personalities are completely different.
Rosalie is on the serious side, while Ruby is on the light side. I really hate being serious and sometimes joke around.
Therefore, it was not easy to see Ruby becoming serious.
I can’t get over it easily. Above all, Amelia had always been anxious about something.
“Huh huh-”
“I think it’s here.”
“…The Knights already.”
That’s why I ran here as soon as I heard Ruby’s words.
Ruby’s words felt sincere no matter where I looked.
However, a large number of Windsor knights were standing guard in front of the road leading to the underground passage.
Just in case, I approached – and it was like that.
“You cannot enter. sorry.”
“I’m only going in for a moment, so I don’t know.”
“The orders we received are to not allow anyone to enter this place.”
I was in trouble.
Amelia and Charlotte made eye contact.
‘Strange. Why bother doing this?’
Doubt rose in Amelia’s heart.
Something is strange. Why is the vice-captain Charlotte banned from entering, let alone himself?
What on earth are you doing with Ruid?
“Charles. “Do you know what that basement is?”
“…I know it’s the leader’s battle.”
“…A workshop?”
“I asked you the other day because I was curious. They said it was a place to pursue hobbies. Ame doesn’t know? “It’s family.”
Amelia shook her head. That’s Irene’s hobby. I’ve never seen anything like that before.
But since he is an unknown person to begin with. I guess that’s why there is a workshop.
Why is entry prohibited? The suspicion that had arisen for a moment grew endlessly and made Amelia anxious.
“Hmm… I have a bad feeling.”
“I think I should go too.”
Charlotte took a step back with bleary eyes.
“It would be scary if our leader got angry.”
“I will go in alone.”
“Amelia. It’s not possible.”
The knight spoke firmly.
“Sorry Jack.”
Amelia drew her sword. At the same time, the five knights guarding this place also drew their swords.
“sorry.”
“no. There’s no need to be sorry. Because Irene’s orders take priority over mine. But please understand. “I have to go in there.”
“Eight, I don’t know.”
Charlotte also drew her sword and stood next to Amelia.
“All you have to do is give me three months’ worth of salary! “If I don’t have money, Amelia has to feed me.”
“Charles.”
Amelia’s expression brightened slightly.
The knights kept their distance with nervous faces. They know it too. It’s hard to handle even Amelia, let alone Charlotte.
As knights of Windsor, there was no way they did not know Windsor’s power. But still, he cannot disobey Irene’s orders.
An immediate situation.
It felt like it would explode at any moment if someone poked it with a needle.
“What are you doing?”
A calm voice was heard from the basement. It was Irene’s voice. The knights all sheathed their swords with nervous faces.
Amelia and Charlotte also looked at each other’s faces and swallowed dry saliva.
Not long after, Irene showed herself.
While holding Ruid’s hand.
“…!”
Amelia’s pupils dilated. Even Charlotte had a look in her eyes that was hard to believe.
“Lu…i?”
It was definitely the most shocking scene Amelia had ever seen.
There was blood on Ruid’s clothes. On the face and arms. And – in your hands too. Abundantly.
Considering the shape and amount of blood splattered.
Those were traces of someone being randomly stabbed with a knife.
“hi.”
Ruid looked up at Amelia and said softly.
At first glance, the tone was the same as usual.
Ruid’s clear eyes became cloudy. The pupils are empty.
“What on earth have you done?”
Amelia’s legs became weak and she sat down.
Tears flowed down my cheeks without realizing it.
-Ame. Hurry and go before it’s too late. If you miss this period, Ruid may no longer be your cute younger brother.
What Ruby said suddenly came to mind. Amelia’s eyes slowly turned to Irene.
“What’s wrong?Ame.”
Irene was smiling even in this situation.
So brightly.
Petting Ruid as if loving him.
