Episode 179 (Illustration)
The princess looked around her surroundings, which had become quieter, and raised the corners of her mouth.
“… ruler. “It’s my victory again.”
Who is this bold declaration of victory aimed at?
The princess frowned for a moment due to the tingling pain in her shoulder, but then smiled again and spoke.
“You poor things. This time, yes. It was really fun this time. It was the most realistic and fun I’ve ever been, and honestly, it was also a little scary. “I was curious about what it would feel like to actually receive a threat to my life, and this is what it felt like.”
The princess, who had regained some composure, even laughed.
At that moment, a rapier flew out, but Desbury’s pale hand caught the hilt.
The princess said as she looked at the blade that stopped just before it touched her eyeball.
“You won’t get hit twice. “I’m not a jerk, Seren.”
“… … .”
Seren gasped.
I think I could use the cold one more time, but… well. Even if I write this now, I don’t think the situation will change at all.
“Seren. my first friend “I really liked you.”
“… So, you’re going to kill me too because you like it? Or well, I don’t mean to stuff it with a doll either. “I don’t like that.”
Seren scoffed openly, but the princess responded without any sign of offense.
“Is that possible? However, I thought I could visit Goodspring later. “I don’t know if Seren in real life is the same as you.”
“… what?”
What kind of ghost talk is that?
It was a moment when Seren felt puzzled.
Suddenly, a growl… The entire building trembled slightly with the sound.
It probably rang from downstairs.
“This sound… … .”
The princess’s expression became strange. Those eyes stared into space again.
After a while, a slightly embarrassed voice came out.
“You survived? No way-.”
That’s the moment.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of light, and someone was running towards the princess at high speed.
‘Charon Woodjack?’
Only Seren caught a glimpse of the movement.
Was it a blessing? Because it was so fast, I didn’t think it was just ordinary protection.
Wasn’t this the so-called last resort prepared for Charon?
The princess belatedly realized Charon’s approach, but she was one step too late.
“Ugh… … .”
A thick hand firmly grabbed the princess’s neck. The princess reflexively grabbed his wrist and stared at her opponent with astonished eyes.
“how… … .”
“… … .”
Blood was dripping from Charon’s whole body. The princess didn’t realize it, but her muscles were trembling violently. She was like someone who had abused her body to the brink of its limit.
Charon sneered, bleeding from his nose.
“… Not being fooled by pretending to be dead is a basic part of hunting. “It looks like the royal lord hasn’t even gone hunting.”
“ha ha ha… … .”
“Stop the doll’s movements. “Princess Perist, it’s your loss.”
Even at those words, the princess just smiled.
Am I finally crazy?
Charon thought as his blood dripped.
If I kill this woman here, will the doll stop moving? Will it run away?
The risk of the latter possibility was too great. This was the reason he had not killed the princess yet.
It was that moment.
Princess Perist looked like she was worried. It wasn’t Charon’s suggestion.
I could see the strategist’s eyes contemplating a way to turn the situation around.
Wow.
“Pfft… … .”
I wordlessly strengthened my grip.
After a while, the princess’s face turned red. With a thud, he loosened her tightness the moment he hit her arm with an urgent movement.
And the princess gasped for breath, and then slightly closed her eyes.
Slurp-.
At that moment, Desbury, who had been standing and glaring at Charon, slumped down on the spot.
The princess had stopped controlling.
Up to that point, it was what Charon had hoped for, but… What followed went far beyond expectations.
“… Okay, Deathbury. “I lost this time.”
“what… … ?”
“So, let’s end this round with this. huh. For some reason, my head feels dizzy and my shoulders hurt a lot. It feels a little different than usual… … .”
“… … .”
“Are you listening? Desbury.”
As for Charon.
I thought this woman was crazy many times, but at this moment, I thought she might have really gone crazy.
But apart from those sentiments, I felt scared deep in my heart.
Before even realizing the identity of the emotion, Charon spit out the words.

“you… What on earth are you talking about? … ?”
“uh… … ?”
Princess Perist Scarlet.
Rather, he seemed more surprised and embarrassed than Charon.
“Why don’t you guys disappear?”
“This crazy bitch… … !”
“Ugh… … !”
Suddenly, I felt uncontrollable anger, but it was actually an action to hide my fear.
Charon glared at the princess with his only remaining eye. Her grip grows stronger.
“wait for a sec. “There’s something strange about the princess’ condition.”
If it weren’t for the cold voice that reached my ears, I could have just broken the princess’s neck.
“… … .”
Charon does not listen to orders from others that he does not approve of. He even ignores requests.
However, Seren proved his worth again and again in this battle. Naturally, the strength of his grip loosened.
“Ugh, lol…” … ! Hee hee… … .”
And Perist.
I looked at Charon with a very frightened expression, completely different from the attitude I had shown so far.
It’s not just a mask.
It was a drastic change, as if people had completely changed.
“Cough… … ! Cough… … . Now, wait… Soo, my breath… Breathing… … . Ah… … .”
“… “I kept feeling out of place.”
Seren said in a somber voice.
“There are a lot of things I want to ask about the attitude you showed and the few words you casually said, but start with this first.”
“Cough… … .”
“… “What does it mean to lose?”
Did he sense the life in Seren’s voice?
Ferist trembled slightly.
I see Charon still holding his collar viciously. The shadow of horror and fear on her face gradually grows larger.
It was as if he realized too late that something was very wrong.
“Well, so… … .”
Ferist trembled slightly.
My trembling voice made it difficult to form words.
Charon couldn’t stand it anymore and threatened him again.
“Perist Scarlet. Please answer quickly. “Language skills function well even when all limbs are removed.”
“Hehe, hehe… … .”
Only then did Perist shout in an urgent voice.
“B-but… … ! This is all… “It’s a dream, right?!”
“… what?”
Perist spoke like a crazy person.
“Yeah, yeah… … ! A very realistic dream, not much different from reality… … ! You are all residents of the dream, and you took on the role of intruders for my sake… … . No, wait… no way… … .”
“… … .”
For the first time, I realized that if you talk too much bullshit, you become speechless.
As Seren and Charon’s expressions became more miserably distorted, Ferist’s expression became more desperate.
She trembled as if she was finally experiencing pain.
“Oh my… it hurts… … . There’s a sword on my shoulder… My ankles were swollen, my fingernails were… … .”
“Shut up and keep talking.”
Charon growled.
Ferist trembled and spoke at the murderous muttering.
“I am… just… Because I hate the imperial family… … . I hate being part of the royal family… … . But, if it’s in a dream… Because it doesn’t have to be me… … . Because here, it’s okay to commit as many deviations as you want… … .”
Although the words were rambling, it was easy to understand.
“therefore… Everything that happens here has nothing to do with reality… It doesn’t even affect me… “I definitely heard that.”
“You heard?”
Seren came out with a stern expression.
“who.”
“that… … .”
“Speak quickly. “Who on earth said that?”
“De, de, de.”
Ferist muttered.
“Desbury… … .”
It was that moment.
Klik, Kkiririk.
Desbury, who had been lying down just now, moved.
“You still-.”
“Oh, no! “I-I didn’t do it!”
Ferist spoke in a desperate voice and waved his still moving left arm.
Even if I concentrated my eyes, I couldn’t see anything that looked like thread in that hand. Moreover, the fear and fear in his voice is real.
Charon and Seren closed their mouths and saw Deathbury moving alone again.
Of course, it is not at all strange for a doll to move alone in this hidden world.
Desbury’s movements now were bizarre.
Just like that, just like that… … .
Desbury stood up with jerky movements. It was a strange movement, as if he was twisting his own joints.
Keek, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… … .
And walks with a creaking motion.
It was a situation where I had to do something.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Strangely enough, everyone watching the scene could not move.
With each step the doll took, the instrument seemed to seep into its skin.
It soon became a tangible fog and entangled their entire bodies.
in between… … .
Desbury walked to the window and sat down on the window sill.
dump.
And the movement stopped.
“… Desbury?”
Ferist momentarily forgot the pain and muttered in a low voice.
Desbury didn’t react.
Just as if a wind-up doll had performed its last movement and its function had completely stopped.
His head dropped slightly and then stopped.
Whioooo… … .
Just then, a chilling wind licked my skin.
Because the wind was unusually hot, it felt like a disgusting monster was licking my cheek.
Desbury stopped, but no one moved. Apart from the silence, everyone could feel the atmosphere pressing the air.
Seren swallowed dryly and remembered what Luan had said.
“Isn’t there a possibility that they are both church members?”
It was stupid.
If I had thought of that possibility, I should have thought of the opposite.
‘why.’
Why didn’t I think of the possibility that neither royal family member was a member of the church?
‘shit… … .’
It was obvious.
It is your own fault.
In the first place, because Seren was convinced that one of the royal family members was a member of the church, Luan Badniker also believed her.
‘Damn Laplace’s new book… … .’
It wasn’t that there were no excuses.
In the new book, there were words that caught the eye and were unique to prophetic books.
Although the subject of what kind of disaster was so clearly recorded, the mastermind was vaguely described.
If the princess was nothing more than a puppet, killing Ferist here would have no meaning.
The hidden world will not disappear, and the doll will not stop moving.
Even the puppeteer who was thought to be in the dark was actually just a puppet? If this kind of sweet potato development actually appears in the novel, I will immediately announce my departure.
Suddenly… … !
As Seren began to be consumed by self-reproach, the glass window began to shake and scream.
Ahahahaha-!
dolls.
The dolls, which were lying cut, pierced, and torn, burst into laughter at the same time.
If it had been seen as a murder doll until now, it now seems to have only one function: ridicule.
The dolls did nothing and just burst out laughing.
It feels like scratching my brain with my fingernails.
It was like a time that took place in a now-vanished time zone that those here had never experienced.
A harbinger of the devil’s descent.
As Glenn Scarlett said.
Each member of the royal family had someone they depended on.
Princess Perist kept talking to Desbury.
That was not an attitude towards dolls.
‘If the princess actually heard Desbury’s voice.’
If Perist wasn’t talking to himself or crazy, he was actually talking to a doll.
And suddenly I realized.
It wasn’t just the dolls that were laughing.
“… … !”
The blood-red moon beyond the window frame trembled violently, and a change occurred on its surface.
At first I thought it was an optical illusion. It is said that spots on the moon appear in various ways depending on the perspective.
It was different.
What was slowly revealed from the blood-red moon was clearly a face.
The moon burst out laughing.
For the first time in her life, Seren’s face immediately turned pale as she faced the madness that shattered her mind.
Struggle, thud.
Changes also occurred in Desbury’s body.
Devil horns sprouted from his temples. The body that looked like a doll was filled with pale vitality. In fact, it was a sight that seemed to be more about death than life.
[…] … .]
The moment my eyes opened.
A strange reverse eye with white and black parts reversed was revealed.
The moment we met those eyes, everyone even forgot to breathe.
Instead, I realized.
The evil spirit was strong.
