Chapter 30. Hunting a cornered rat. (11)
Cain clenched his jaw and glared at me.
“Watch your mouth, Abel.”
He waved his hand threateningly as if he was about to take out the cadenza.
“-!”
Then I noticed someone in my hand and stopped.
“-Who is that person?”
“Oh, this?”
He lifted his hand so Cain could see clearly.
“… … .”
Sienna completely fainted and was lying limp.
I didn’t know if it was the fear of falling from a high place or the pain of having my arm cut off.
‘The latter possibility is the most likely.’
Body parts that were always attached to my body fall off. There are people who die of shock just by witnessing that.
That shock was not something a mere young girl could endure.
“Oh my, I passed out.”
He laughed and threw Sienna towards Cain. Cain reflexively took Sienna and took her breath away.
“What!”
Wide-open eyes frantically scanned Sienna’s severed shoulder and blood-covered body.
“How can you do such a vicious thing!”
Cain burst out in anger.
His attitude as if he were facing a world-class villain while holding the fainted Sienna in his arms,
‘He still thinks he’s the main character.’
It only made me yawn.
“Vicious?”
Trudging.
He took a step forward and met Cain’s accusatory gaze directly.
“Compared to what that girl did, it’s cute, that’s it.”
Plop, plod.
He walked towards Cain and sneered.
“You have no idea what’s going on in the capital right now, do you?”
Everyone who would deliver the news would have evacuated the capital.
“-!”
Cain paused for a moment.
Kuuk-
I could see the hand wrapped around Sienna gaining strength.
“… … .”
He said no more and just glared at me.
He stood tall in front of Cain.
“It’s going to take a long time for that girl to hear it, so I’ll tell you kindly.”
He crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
“First, the Mare Guild that your father secretly operated has completely collapsed.”
“… … I don’t know anything about that guild. “Even my father said no.”
“Do you believe that?”
I snorted openly.
“Where do you think your family’s enormous wealth suddenly came from?”
“Specialty products of Sud territory-”
“You think that’s enough to cover everything. “It’s so stupid I don’t know where to start.”
Cain closed his mouth like a clam. Sparks flew from his red eyes.
“Don’t act naive. “You know the truth, right?”
“… … .”
“Your father is not a very proud great man.”
He continued speaking while watching Cain’s eyes twitch.
“Second, Emperor Theodore rejected Siena’s demands. “It’s a bold request to surrender and give up your sainthood.”
“… … .”
“To punish him, Siena launched a terrorist attack. Innocent blood was spilled all over the capital. but-”
Looking at Sienna in Cain’s arms, the corner of his mouth slipped.
“As you can see, the result was a failure. “It’s also miserable.”
“… … .”
Cain wrinkled his forehead and looked down at Sienna in his arms. A feeling of regret flowed from between her frowning eyebrows.
“Don’t criticize Sienna too much just because the results are poor. “You’re the ‘lady’ you saved, right?”
It was said as a way of comforting, but in reality, it was meant to be a treat. This was one of the fields I liked the most and was good at.
“I guess there was nothing we could do since Leah and I stepped forward.”
“… … “Leah.”
Cain sighed and lowered his eyes.
He shook his shoulders as if he wanted to refute what I said, but unfortunately, no words came out of his mouth.
“And finally, third. “Maybe it’s the most important thing to you.”
He walked closer to Cain, looked straight into his eyes, and spoke.

“Siena just detonated a magic bomb in the imperial palace?”
“… … .”
“But the royal family was gathered there. Including the emperor, of course.”
The color drained from Cain’s face as he understood the true meaning behind my words.
“… … what?”
“So, why don’t you crack down on it?”
I glanced at Sienna out of the corner of my eye. She made choices that ultimately led to her destruction.
“Power that cannot be controlled should not be used carelessly. “You’ve already been through it.”
“… … .”
“I guess one lesson wasn’t enough?”
Even when I criticized him for not handling the cadenza well, Cain did not get angry.
No, I had to say I couldn’t do it.
“Perhaps, perhaps.”
Cain’s eyes fluttered wildly. She looked like she was masturbating, trying to convince herself that it wasn’t the case.
“Among the royal family you mentioned, there is no one-”
“My kindness ends here.”
He smiled brightly and quickly walked away from Cain.
“I think I’ve said everything.”
As I took a step back, I hummed like a song. It was also fun to admire Cain’s wildly distorted face.
“Abel.”
Cain looked at me intently,
“… … under!”
He let out a loud snort towards the other side.
“Do you think I’ll believe anything you say?”
Cain spoke with force in each word.
“It looks like they will lose the war, so their intention is to confuse me. “This is truly cowardly.”
“… … .”
“I know very well that you are on the emperor’s side. “It’s not worth trying to prove loyalty in any way.”
“… … .”
I was speechless for a moment.
‘Isn’t self-justification a disease at this point?’
In the original work, Cain had an upright and upright character. He always looked ahead and pursued his goals unwaveringly.
‘I didn’t know at the time.’
I never thought this would be the same thing as being single-minded and stubborn. Or maybe, as I went through various events, my negative side became stronger.
“Huh… … .”
I couldn’t help but sigh as I looked at Cain’s smooth face. It was the first time I had ever seen her speechless for this reason.
“and,”
Cain handed Sienna to the knight next to him and turned around.
“Who said they would let you go without hesitation?”
Sreung!
He pulled out the cadenza and held it in his hand.
Grumble!
The majesty of the cadenza was still surprising. It was still big and beautiful, and had a more intense flame than before.
“I don’t know what gave you the courage to come here… … .”
Cain aimed his cadenza at me.
“This is my reward for your kindness.”
A stinging life radiated from his whole body.
“When we march to the capital, I will capture you and put you at the forefront. “It will be a good example.”
“… … .”
“Oh, of course I will deal with you alone. “Because it’s enough on my own.”
Cain took his stance and spat out one last word.
“Unsheath your sword, Abel.”
“… … .”
I was at a loss for words again. I had no idea Cain would become so belligerent.
In the original, he only drew his sword when he truly decided to cut down his opponent, and once he did, he never looked back.
Because he knew the power of the cadenza better than anyone else, he was careful not to wield it carelessly.
‘It looks like he’s completely intoxicated with that power… … .’
This was also evidence that the assimilation rate between Cain and Cadenza was very high. It seems that the side effects have accelerated since Leah is not by his side.
“… … “I guess you’ve gotten a taste for playing with fire?”
He waved his hands as if he had no intention of fighting.
“It seems like only yesterday that we were shaking so hard during the northern subjugation war.”
“Abel!”
Cain’s eyes lit up.
“Don’t bring up the old past! “What is the purpose of bringing up that story now?”
He growled and took a step towards me.
“Better say I’m afraid! “Then maybe you’ll look into it a little bit!”
“Are you afraid?”
A cold sneer appeared on his lips.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Cain.”
Purr!
Requiem, feeling alive, growled and stood up.
“Because even if many people like you come, they won’t be able to defeat me.”
I also unleashed my passion for living to my heart’s content. Capturing the rich energy of Requiem to your heart’s content.
“-!”
Cain froze in place.
My way of life was different from what he radiated. It was cold rather than hot, and thick rather than stinging.
Therefore, they pressed Cain even harder and prevented him from moving.
“Ca, Cain… … .”
“Shouldn’t I stop you?”
There was a lot of buzz around me as they saw me without any weapon and Cain aiming his cadenza at me.
“… … .”
Surprisingly, Cain persevered despite facing my threat head-on. Only the light sweat on his smooth forehead revealed his condition.
‘Yes, it has to be at this level for it to be worth it.’
He smiled and licked his lips slightly.
At that time, the air between me and Cain became so thick that it was difficult to breathe.
“Abeelle!”
Cain couldn’t stand it anymore and attacked me.
“Hoo.”
I was surprised for two reasons.
First, by overcoming my struggles and moving. And secondly, because of the cowardice of rushing at someone who has no intention of fighting.
Grumble!
The cadenza’s flame flew towards me. That moment,
Puzzle!
A familiar noise is heard from behind.
Yep!
A golden mana shield loomed before me. The cadenza’s flame could not reach me and had to scratch only the empty space.
“?!”
Cain stepped back with a surprised look on his face. His eyes turned to the person standing behind me.
Plop, plod.
The sound of small footsteps got closer and closer to me.
“Get away from your brother.”
Ekarot spoke in a voice without any warmth. It was so cold that I could feel the temperature around me dropping.
“You came quickly.”
I smiled at Ekarot,
“… … .”
Ekarot wrinkled his nose in silence.
There were small beads of sweat forming on it. It seemed like they were hurriedly following Sienna’s magic traces.
“This is our first meeting with each other, right?”
He lightly touched Ekarot’s shoulder and looked at Cain.
“This is the new magic tower lord, Ekarot Noblesse.”
“… … “A new magic tower lord?”
Cain’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“But the magic tower lord is Midnell-”
“-It was. “Until now.”
He gave a quick glance towards Cain’s back.
“Thanks to that girl’s crazy behavior, Midnell took responsibility and resigned from her position.”
“… … .”
“Thanks to you, ‘our’ Ekarot has ascended to the position of Magic Tower lord?”
He shrugged his shoulders at Cain.
“thanks… … Should I say that?”
Pap-duk!
A vicious sound came from the corner of Cain’s mouth.
“Like that, like that.”
I held back the laughter that threatened to burst out and winked at Ekarot. Eka Lot nodded his head and raised one hand.
Puzzle!
A scarlet portal appeared behind us.
“I’ll just leave for today.”
With a patronizing tone and arrogant gaze looking down from above.
“This is not the place for you and me.”
He raised his finger and pointed at Cain’s neck.
“I’m taking good care of it. Don’t get burned by ‘accident’.”
He smiled slowly and tilted his head crookedly.
“Because I’m going to cut it down later.”
“Abel Kinderear!”
Cain couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted.
Kindreal-
Kindreal–
His fierce voice echoed throughout the camp.
“-I have no choice but to take care of you!”
A flame burned brightly in Cain’s eyes.
“I will kill you painfully! “I will make sure you meet a terrible end!”
“Oh yeah? “Just try your best.”
I smiled naturally and retreated towards the portal.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Cain glared at me with a face distorted like a demon. Her chest rose and fell roughly up and down her body.
“That person… … .”
Ekarot came close next to me. In the original work, the guy who was Cain’s most loyal dog,
“… … “It’s really ugly.”
I left a short review like that.
Kujijic!
The body was swallowed into the portal and the space closed before my eyes. The last thing I saw was Cain’s face filled with hatred.
thud!
The next moment, we were standing in the hallway of the imperial palace. It was the hallway right in front of the completely destroyed conference hall.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
“Ugh… … .”
People were lying here and there moaning. Injuries ranged from serious injuries such as complete loss of one arm to minor scratches.
“Bring a stretcher!”
“Hurry!”
An unusually large number of people were gathered in one of them.
“Is the saint still there?”
Princess Violet scolded the surroundings with a sharp voice. Thanks to her following my advice, she was able to emerge completely unscathed from this disaster.
“Oh my god. This doesn’t make sense… … .”
“what should I do. Maybe this is good… … .”
The imperial family, including the empress and princess, gathered together and shed tears. This was the part where you could see who they were surrounding.
“let’s go.”
He smiled and gestured to Ekarot. A joyous tragedy awaited me.
