The VIP room is very quiet even though there are only 3 people there.
Swoosh- Swoosh-
Sandra carefully oiled her sword and wiped it. This is a ritual she performs before going to war. It also meant that the invasion of Seiden was now just around the corner.
“… … Are your preparations going well?”
Even in the face of such a huge incident, Sandra had a calm voice as usual. If you think about it, that may be the reason why they risked their lives in each war.
There was no small battle for Sandra as long as her life was at stake. He always fought without hesitation, as if he had a cliff at his back.
“I heard that the supply and demand of supplies is not smooth.”
So, you need to prepare carefully.
Even one defeat will turn the tower you worked so hard into like a sand castle in front of the waves.
“That’s to avoid arousing suspicion. We have been accumulating resources in a warehouse near Seiden for two years. “It would be very risky to increase that number now.”
“So what is the estimated time?”
“As short as two days. “It’s three days at most.”
“That’s enough. Let’s go back.”
chuck!
As the subordinate who saluted loyally returned, Sandra fell into thought as she looked at the blade emitting bright light.
‘… … Seiden.’
Sandra proudly said that the reason for invading Seiden was not because of revenge, but if you think about it, it wasn’t completely unrelated.
For Sandra, Seiden was a place with a past she wanted to erase.
Sandra wanted to erase her past of living a peaceful life as a noblewoman, and even more so she wanted to erase her past of being branded a criminal in a cold dungeon.
Now he is one of the leaders of the King’s Islands and a war demon who will do anything for money.
There was no place for Sandra to return to. There was no other way but to move forward.
I didn’t know where that settlement would be, but I couldn’t stop now.
I have changed so much now. Of course, that was the change Sandra wanted. From time to time, sprouts of thoughts sprouted in places beyond her memories that even Sandra could not recognize.
If my father’s colleague hadn’t betrayed him. If your family hasn’t died. If only he had led such a normal life.
What do you look like now?
What kind of people do you spend your day with by your side?
What’s really funny is that even though I couldn’t even anticipate such a future, the past came to mind so vividly.
[The young lady has a better understanding of swordsmanship than this poor teacher!]
Whenever Sandra thinks about the past, the first thing that comes to mind is an old knight who taught her how to use a sword.
After retiring as a knight commander, he could have lived a comfortable life with the money he received from the imperial family, but he was raising disciples and training his successors.
[You can recognize this old man just by looking at his sword! What the young lady has in her heart is a truly clean and upright spirit.]
The sword that I had swung harder out of joy at receiving praise had now become the sword of an evil spirit, drinking the blood of my enemies on the battlefield, and the sword I had swung hard with my fern-like hand was now able to contain mana.
‘What would you say if you saw me now?’
Will he regret teaching swordsmanship to Sandra, who has become a demon? Or will she be happy that she has achieved something great?
[right now! Go back! I am Ruidion, the Silver Knight! Even if it’s an imperial order! I can’t give up my student’s life-!]
He tried to protect Sandra against 100 knights in the body of an old man. He brilliantly defeated more than half of them, but ultimately ended in a miserable death.
[Sandra! Survive! Even though it’s miserable and painful, please survive until the end!]
My brother’s head fell off as he was put on death row amidst jeers from the public.
[I have never betrayed… … .]
Daenggang!
My father died before he could even utter his last words. Is it any different for other people?
All those who were falsely accused and implicated by the traitor were put on death row and met a similar end. Sandra clearly watched the death of someone so precious to her.
‘I thought I had forgotten everything about the past in the midst of the fierce war. Nothing’s wrong now. That’s what I thought… … .’
The strong can do whatever they want to the weak, the world is like that, and they were betrayed because they trusted someone.
The reason young Sandra rationalized so many times was to protect herself.
I couldn’t bear it anymore if I didn’t think that what happened to me was natural.
‘Why so… … . ‘Is your chest so hot it feels like you’ve swallowed a fireball?’
Now before war.
The inner fire burning in Sandra’s heart again.
In the end, Sandra smiled and looked at Shin Yu-seong and admitted it.
“… … “You were right.”
Sandra tried to erase Shin Yu-seong’s memories of her abilities, but she did not try to erase all the conversations they had in the bathhouse.
“What do you mean?”
Thanks to this, Shin Yu-seong was able to talk to some extent about Sandra’s questions about that day.
“I have no choice but to admit that I am a childish person.”
Si-ik- Chang!
With a sharp sound, Sandra’s sword entered its sheath.
“As you said, the reason you want to destroy Seiden is revenge.”
And that revenge was necessary for Sandra herself.
“I intend to completely destroy Seiden.”
okay. It was no different from cleaning a sword. This is a ritual for Sandra to erase her past and be reborn.
“I changed my mind. “It would be better to enslave the people and kill everyone else.”
Sandra, who realized what she wanted, actually became more cruel in her hands.
“It would be good to change the name of the country. “It will be a war of unprecedented scale.”
Tiring!
[Quest: Stop the war.]
[Details: The Emperor’s Archipelago. Sandra, the ruler of the Island of Women, is planning a large-scale war to conquer Seiden. Stop her.]
As Sandra made her decision, the final quest finally appeared before Shin Yu-seong’s eyes.

‘… … The final goal of this quest is to stop this war.’
But now was not the time.
The moment when Sandra changed the rules of restriction and changed the target of her abilities from women to men was an opportunity.
‘If you seize that opportunity, the penalty is actually an opportunity. Now, all party members, including me and Siwoo, have female bodies!’
If I had hastily attacked Sandra, I would have made a huge sacrifice, but it was different now that I had the information. This was like fighting with one of Sandra’s strongest abilities sealed away.
‘Of course, it would be nice if Sandra gave up the war before then… … .’
Shin Yoo-seong, who heard about Sandra’s past, knew that it would be difficult.
“Can’t we stop the war?”
Sandra laughed, wondering what was so fun, and her eyes sparkled as she held Shin Yu-seong’s chin.
“I was already dead in that dungeon and on the scaffold. How can I be alive like this now? … “Isn’t it because of your desire for revenge against those guys?”
When Sandra tried to approach with her face in the air, Shin Yu-seong gently pushed her shoulder and said,
“What is left at the end? “Wouldn’t it be empty once all revenge is over?”
What will remain at the end of revenge? Blood-stained hands and a destroyed nation. In the end, wouldn’t there be nothing but an empty heart and a devastated spirit?
“In order to do that, we want to get rid of them all. “Every time I think about that time, this place gives me goosebumps.”
But Sandra’s idea was different.
She was fighting not to leave something behind, but to gain that void.
“… … Now it’s their turn to get them back.”
Sandra closed her eyes with a serious voice and pressed her face towards Shin Yu-seong again.
“Killing them and avenging them doesn’t make it like what happened to you never happened.”
However, this time, Shin Yu-seong pushes his shoulder again with his answer. Sandra combed her blonde hair sheepishly.
“You don’t understand anyway.”
Worse-!
Sandra says that and holds both of Shin Yu-seong’s hands.
“… … “Because I don’t even remember it.”
Then, I closed my eyes and let Sandra press her lips together with my face again.
Wow!
Shin Yu-seong defended himself by pressing his forehead against Sandra’s.
“no. “I know how stupid what you’re trying to do is.”
“I didn’t think you would understand from the beginning. “What I need is not someone who will understand my revenge.”
“Then who needs it?”
Shin Yu-seong found it difficult to even use polite language due to Sandra’s one-sided attitude.
“Now you don’t even use my honorific title. good. I’ll tell you. I don’t need anyone. “I don’t trust anyone anyway.”
Shin Yu-seong lifted his forehead and stood up. Shin Yu-seong was finally able to get to know Sandra. Sandra looked strong on the outside, but she wasn’t on the inside.
“You are still in the dungeon. “I didn’t grow at all.”
Shin Yu-seong was sure.
Nothing gets better by just forgetting and avoiding it. What is the meaning of taking out one’s misfortune on innocent people?
“… … The reason you can’t trust someone isn’t because you realized how great you are. “It’s just because I’m afraid of being betrayed.”
Because I was betrayed by my family.
If he had rejected the hand that King Kwon extended, if he had been so cut off from others and had not given his heart, would he be able to stand here now?
Would I have been able to meet my current trusted colleagues?
“… … “I assume the worst and keep running away.”
Wouldn’t it be great if we could change Sandra’s mind before going to war?
“Nothing gets better that way.”
“That’s interesting. “So you’re saying your way is different?”
Shin Yu-seong nodded confidently at Sandra’s words.
“I may ask you to stop the war, but at least I won’t betray you.”
Perhaps, if we build more rapport, we might be able to edify Sandra.
but.
“20 years ago. “If I had met you, I might have held your hand.”
Sandra quietly looked at Shin Yu-seong’s outstretched hand and shook her head.
“But now it’s too late.”
