Side Story: The Anguish of the Swallow (4)
When the truth about Corrin’s precepts became known, each girl fell into silence.
“Now, wait a minute… is there such a thing? Is it really possible?”
Marie doubted the existence of precepts.
Of course, I was so shocked that I said that.
Basically, Marie Dunareff believes whatever Corin Locke says.
Because I trust the pride of the human being called Corin more than anyone else.
“commandment······.”
Not only Hwa, but Estelle and Miriam are equally embarrassed.
But there was no doubt even after seeing him coughing up blood.
Because everyone has witnessed the power that can send a strong person to the brink of death just by the ‘misfortune’ of others without any magical action or physical damage.
“It is possible. The precepts… are very old, ancient magic.”
And the testimony of Erin, who lived during the Age of God, drives a wedge into the story.
“It is a magic handed down from the distant times of the gods. A warrior’s precepts that bind and bind oneself to fulfill an oath. That compulsion… even the gods could not intervene.”
Erin talked about what the precepts were, how powerful magic was, and the consequences of breaking them.
“That’s right… Corrin’s younger brother’s growth rate was at a level that made no sense.”
“······.”
Estelle was once again impressed by Corin, who risked her life to save the world, while Miriam remained silent.
Mariena Hwaran also noticed why this precept, especially the first one, the duty not to ignore misfortune, was engraved, and her complexion became pale.
This is something you can understand if you think about it a little.
Marie, Alisha, Hwaran, Estelle, Erin… Corin threw herself in without hesitation to save the people around her.
In the early days when there was nothing, he challenged a special-class vampire, relying only on a spear, and fought against a runaway Bicheon Yacha until his entire body was reduced to nothing.
And at the end, there was a path to save the world, and he saved the world.
The will to not miss a single person made him walk towards hardship on his own… I thought once again that he was the Corin Locke they knew…
“I need time to think for a moment.”
The girls had a moment to worry about the absurd plan of a harem.
* * * *
Marie is a beloved girl.
From a young age, he received excessive affection and attention from his parents, and his naturally docile temperament earned him favor with his peers, younger siblings, and employees.
If she, the daughter of seven siblings, never fought with her younger siblings and was never exposed to anyone’s envy and jealousy, you would know how much she was loved and raised.
The girl who grew up receiving love also gave love to those around her.
However, I know that the love I have received so far is completely different from the love I am experiencing now.
first love.
I had this sweet, fresh feeling for a very long time.
I know that it is a different kind of love. However, Corinne Locke was a very unfamiliar relationship to Marie, who loved those she loved in return with her love.
She can do anything for the one she loves.
No wealth, no power, no power… You can give everything you have to take care of and make your loved ones happy.
Because that’s who you are, and because you know deep down that you’re a woman with no shortcomings, is it too much to expect the other person to give you everything?
“fool······.”
Even a hundred years of waiting and even subjugation through blood.
Now such extreme methods will no longer be left as an option.
Even if he chooses someone else, the seeds of misfortune left behind will kill Corrin.
“I hate Corin…”
Criticize out loud. She resents Corinne for not being able to love only her.
But──
love.
Corin Locke,
Marie Dunareff…
I love you so much.

The cathedral is quiet on weekdays.
As the cathedral was originally built for academy students, only a few who are on the path to priesthood can enter on weekdays.
“······.”
‘······.’
The interior of the cathedral. Hwa and Ran spent time in silence and idly at the wooden benches close together.
The reason the two went to the church was because they didn’t want to run into other women.
I didn’t want to show myself weak in front of women who were my arch-enemies, rivals, or lovers.
‘What should I do?’
Ran opened his mouth on behalf of Hwa, who would remain silent forever.
“······I don’t know.”
Neither Hwa nor Ran could dare to imagine such a situation.
The love and affection between the two is extremely pure.
Corinne is good. Her heart warms when she is with him. It feels good when he touches me. I hope he is happy for me.
Pure affection developed into love and evolved into an instinctive desire for exclusivity.
I wish he would touch ‘just me’.
I wish he would only look at me.
I wish he was ‘only by my side’.
‘Maybe it’s a good thing.’

“······what?”
Although he answered in a harsh voice for a moment, Ran whispered softly.
‘I’d rather be with everyone… because I don’t have to worry about being taken away.’
“······.”
At some point, I started to worry about what other people thought. He was afraid of those who were staring at Corin with the same eyes as him.
I’m afraid they’ll take it away.
I felt like it would take the warmth from me.
I was so anxious that I tried to receive the baby from the stork before anyone else.
I know that having a baby isn’t that easy anymore.
If it is impossible to attack first, what should you do?
“As expected… I don’t like it.”
‘Yes… me too.’
“Corrin you idiot.”
‘Oppa, you idiot.’
I am dissatisfied with the fact that this situation was created in the first place.
“i like you.”
‘huh. i like you.’
I don’t want to fall.
I want to feel the warmth forever.
Corin Locke has now become an indispensable presence to the two girls.
* * * *
Estelle has no doubt that she is a special being.
She was an outstanding being from birth, a child of God with a destined path ahead of her.
Somehow, her faith was distorted, but Estelle, a person with a strong sense of self, did not break down.
Rather, it should be said that it rebounded.
‘If the Lord is a false being created. ‘There’s nothing I can’t become God.’
So that was my goal.
The most respected being in this land. To become an earth goddess who will embrace all things like her mother.
A woman who was content with her natural position as a saint and princess harbored unexpected ambitions.
‘But it wasn’t just for me.’
The principle of action and the basis of ambition were formed in one man.
The owner of the throne who showed off the power of the sun, but who was not recognized by anyone.
A good person, kind, and just… a man like the warrior in the story.
My cute younger brother, who reacted with shock when I heard my voice whispering in my ear, is the new god who can lead true faith.
In fact, he is a sun god who fits next to the Earth Mother.
‘No, it’s not like that. That came later.’
Actually, even before that… when he was jokingly teasing this good junior who saved him.
Little by little, Estelle fell in love with him. He thought it was cool that Lee Yi willingly walked the unwavering path of justice and asceticism.
Estelle just wanted to enjoy this love for a very long time… a very long time. Surprisingly, he was greedy for the position of God because he thought there was nothing he couldn’t take.
‘If you asked me to give up my position as a god, I would do it.’
If I had loved only myself, if I had embraced my poor younger brother as well… I would have been satisfied with this short human life.
“ha······.”
Estelle was in a mixed mood. Then suddenly… what if it was my younger brother? If she is the most selfish and cruel woman I know, what choice will she make?
Estelle came out of her room and walked down the hallway of the dormitory. It’s already late, so I guess I’ll be in my room.
I think it would be a good idea to hang out with her tonight and discuss this matter.
-smart!
“Mir? Are you in there?”
············No reaction.
Estelle tilted her head and knocked on the door again, but for some reason there was no response from inside.
“huh?”
It is almost midnight. Estelle knows that Miriam doesn’t have to go anywhere at this time.
The life of a royal is more repetitive than you might think. Since I do certain things at certain times, I always have to go to bed late at night.
“uh?”
For a moment, an ominous thought crossed my mind. It didn’t even take a second for me to push it out of my mouth.
“Did you hit the player?!”
I let my guard down.
Of all the women who love Corin, the snake princess is actually the one with bolder action and determination than anyone else!
* * * *
“······Deja vu.”
When I opened my eyes, I was bound.
As if it was obvious, Mir in red see-through clothes was crushing me.
“Are you awake, husband? I sprinkled sleeping pills in your meal that even a troll wouldn’t be able to wake up for a day.”
“Mi, Princess Mir…”
At that moment, Mir covered my lips with his white finger. Even though his fingers were as thin as half my size, he blocked my mouth like a piece of iron.
“I’ve thought about it.”
Mir looked down at me with a satisfied expression as I pursed my lips, and then continued speaking.
“I absolutely hate sharing what’s mine with other people. That’s why I beat that gay friend.”
“······Shifu?”
“huh.”
“Oh, did you know?!”
Mir knew that Park Si-hoo liked me?!
Mir, hearing my confused voice, looked like he was asking the obvious.
“I could tell just by looking at his gaze. Well, I knew that we couldn’t have a relationship because his sexual preference was extremely normal.”
Mir predicted a chilling future, saying that if I had that much power, I would definitely have attacked him later. It’s scary that it’s vaguely correct.
First of all, let alone the fact that she is a woman.
“Before, I monopolized you, but… well, it seems like it will be difficult this time… A philandering husband?”
“S-sorry…”
“I’m probably not included in the precepts, right?”
“······.”
I couldn’t open my mouth. Did you even notice that far?
Mir said with a bitter smile.
“Of course. I’m a villain who tried to annihilate a city of demons for revenge. There’s no way I could be ‘good.’”
Yes, the reason why there are no quests like Miriam even though other people have quests.
That’s because I don’t perceive her as good.
She is a villainess. Because he is a villain willing to shed blood for his own purposes.
“That’s why it’s not the time to choose between cold and hot food.”
“No, that’s true…”
“Accept it, husband. You have to create a harem anyway, right?”
Yes, even if it’s to carry out the precepts…even if it’s to avoid making those left behind unhappy…even if it’s for my own survival…
“I’m just the first.”
My palm goes straight to the buttons on my shirt. Actually, I can escape right away… but should I just go on like this until the end?
“Hehe… You like it too, right? You’re the type of person who pretends to be the victim and enjoys everything.”
“I won’t deny it.”
Actually, I am very thankful. This is why I think we had good chemistry in the previous episode. Not today though.
“then······.”
The moment Mir’s fingers were about to rip off the buttons of his shirt──
-Kwaang!
A pink-haired saint bursts through the dormitory door. To be honest, she had been expecting to hear the sound of someone running for about 10 seconds. She expected it…
“Why is the timing this time…?”
“Tch…”
Estelle stares at Mir, who clicks her tongue, with burning eyes.
“Our cute little brother~ What are you doing here?”
“Do you know that you’ve been interfering without notice for a long time?”
“You have to be careful~ I just know the timing you hate the most.”
It feels like lightning crashes between the two people. Estelle walked up with long strides and glared at me, who had been crushed, and at her Mir, who was on top of me.
“Do you realize that you are a princess?”
“Well, I just decided there was nothing I could do.”
“what?”
“A harem is bound to be created. Estelle, you saw it too. What will happen if Ii doesn’t form a harem?”
“that······.”
“Then shouldn’t we be ahead of others?”
“you you···!”
Estelle’s sister blushed and gasped at Mir’s shocking words.
And Estelle wasn’t the only one who came running to my room.
“Corrin!”
“Mr. Corrin!”
“brother?”
People begin to flock in one by one due to the commotion. I’m a little scared that Ren and Ron will come. It wouldn’t be good for education…
“Student Corin…”
Eventually, Josephine arrived. And she immediately figured out her situation, opened the space, and even brought in Master Erin.
“Huh… Clara? What happened all of a sudden… Wow!”
The teacher seems to have suddenly woken up when he sees me crushed and Mir in see-through clothes.
“In my own defense… I didn’t.”
Wouldn’t two responsibilities without pleasure be enough? No, it did exist… but it did exist! At least, there is a natural desire to enjoy it when you are sober.
“Everyone is gathered. Then I will announce the conclusion of Miriam Elisabeth el Ras.”
Mir untied my bonds, stood me up, hugged me so close to my skin, and declared proudly.
“I don’t care whether Sir Corrin has multiple wives. As a first wife, I will generously acknowledge my concubines.”
“Huh?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Fraudality?”
“Secret room?”
Do you really have to set it on fire like that?
·········································
·········
······
morning.
While the intense cronyism debate seems to never end, we have entered a lull.
“There is nothing like that! What kind of cronyism!”
“Hmm, Corin, shouldn’t it still be there? It’s a matter of hierarchy.”
“Arisha, which side are you on?”
“Are you on the side of the crony?”
This bastard, don’t you have any intention of becoming a crony yourself?
“That’s a little more creepy…”
“Be quiet! I don’t want to hear your polluted view of marriage!”
Look what happened to his head after he went to Findias to get Klau Solas!
“Anyway… So who are you going to spend your first night with first?”
“Princess Mir, please lower the shutter… There are things that must take priority over that.”
“first of all?”
“You have to get permission from both parents first.”
“······.”
“······.”
Everyone stares at me with blank stares. What is it, everyone?
“I heard you are sincere in a strange way.”
Estelle sighs. Marie spoke carefully.
“Wouldn’t that be difficult, Corrin?”
“I guess so.”
In the worst case, I would have to disclose the precepts and get their consent, but I would like to avoid that as much as possible.
The precept that is my biggest risk… especially the first precept is the easiest to attack.
“First of all, we have to persuade our father-in-laws and mothers-in-law.”
Parents last.
Wouldn’t that be the right marriage?
‘The proper marriage was over at the point of creating a harem.’
