Episode 152. for what (5)
“Welcome, master… … .”
When I returned to the room after finishing my conversation with the head of the family, Brian, who was not asleep yet, greeted me.
“What about Nana?”
“I just fell asleep with Emily. “Maybe it was because I had a delicious dinner, so I was very happy.”
So, he went to Nana’s room and quietly opened the door.
-Saekunsaekun
He fell asleep so soundly that even if someone carried him, he didn’t even notice.
The head of the family may think that I helped Nana escape from subspace, but that is not true.
Even before I arrived, she had already manifested the dragon’s divine power and escaped subspace.
Fortunately, she didn’t go far and we were able to find her right away, but when she was found, she was not in a normal condition.
It wasn’t like he was crying and saying he was sorry to me and making a big fuss.
It was quite difficult to calm him down and say it was okay.
A talent that can already break the barrier of subspace.
This makes me realize once again that bloodlines are not important for nothing.
Next to him, Emily was sleeping, holding his hand affectionately as if comforting him.
At one point, I was so scared that I was shaking under the blanket, and if anyone saw me, they would think I was a mother to a child.
I closed the door carefully so as not to wake it.
“Sir, did you finish your conversation with Sirika?”
“Well, roughly. Looks like you had a hard time too. My face has become half… … .”
“Is that so?”
The moment I turned around with the thought that sooner or later I would have to feed the demon beast’s blood as a sacrifice.
“I’m sorry, Master!”
-dump!
I was startled by a strange noise and turned around to see Brian kneeling down and bowing his head to me.
I was so embarrassed that I just blinked.
“W-what are you doing?”
“I should have taken good care of Nana while you were away… . I couldn’t do anything because I was lacking. I’m really sorry… !”
sorry? What are you sorry for?
Why is he apologizing to me?
Shouldn’t I actually be sorry?
I was the one who irresponsibly left in search of information I wasn’t sure about, so why do I need to apologize?
It was a strange situation in many ways.
“wake up.”
Despite firm instructions, Brian showed no signs of waking up.
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
– Jump up
It was Brian who suddenly got up again as if he had never done that before.
Looking at his face, which was even more haggard than before he left, I could guess that he must have been in a lot of trouble.
I never thought I would say these words in my life.
“sorry.”
“yes?”
He asked back, his eyes flashing, as if he thought he had misheard.
“I unintentionally made you suffer in order to serve my foolish master. I feel sorry… … .”
The guy’s body froze, like a corpse without a soul.
Please at least give me an answer. People must feel embarrassed… … .
“Rest. “I’m going out.”
“Uh, where are you going?”
“Drink… … .”
Where can I go this night?
Even though it was something I had always done as a daily routine for two years,
I don’t think I’ve ever felt as heavy as I did today.
The surroundings are empty, not a single sound of an insect, let alone a person.
Feeling bothered, I flopped down on the bench in front of me.
[Why is your face full of worry again?]
“That’s right.”
As if agreeing with Kayram’s words, a deep sigh came out from within.
[Where has the spirit that suppressed the magic power of the Nine Stars gone, and has it become tattered like a doll soaked in the rain?]
Normally, she would bother me by messing with me here and there, but today she quietly sat next to me without much nagging.
Have you ever heard that the more things you have to protect, the heavier your body becomes?
When I heard those words from the head of the family in my past life, I couldn’t sympathize with them at all.
Because at the time, I didn’t think I had anything to protect.
Who would have cared when it was difficult to even repair my own body?
I thought to myself that something like that would never happen again.
Until that devil bastard takes me away.
Even after returning, I thought I had nothing to lose.
Now, I feel like my body will twist as soon as anyone disappears.
“How did I end up like this?”

Rather than lamenting, I was just curious.
I never dreamed that I, who lived like an emotionless shadow and not even treated as a human being, would have these extremely ordinary emotional worries.
[okay. I don’t even know how this happened.]
Kayram smiled and said, as if agreeing with what I said.
I guess it’s not far.
The fence called the Academy that protected my current identity,
The moment to escape.

Rummendel, the god of light, brings the light of peace to the continent through the bright sun floating in the sky.
Beneath the stone statue that exudes elegance and nobility,
A woman with pure white hair was offering a sacred prayer toward the stone statue.
-plodding
After a while, familiar footsteps were heard from behind, and the woman gently opened her eyes and smiled faintly.
“I heard you’re busy walking around these days? Eshel… … .”
“… … .”
“I heard you’ve been snooping around the ruins of an old era in the empire recently? “I guess there’s some treasure you want to find?”
The owner of the footsteps was just smiling without saying a word.
“Prince Ruinel in the imperial castle is very worried, isn’t he? Still, he is a friend before he is a prince. Shouldn’t he at least show his face?”
“You’re being mischievous… … .”
“I made a mistake. To be a friend to that rational and utilitarian Eshel… … . “I heard you hang out with Princess Violet a lot these days?”
Eshel only smiled and did not respond to her words in particular.
“But considering it’s been a while since I’ve been here, my face doesn’t look very good. “I guess you came here reluctantly after going around all over the place and seeing no results?”
“Is that possible? “She just didn’t want to bother the saint.”
“That’s even more disappointing! If I share some of my concerns, does it make sense? It’s not like we don’t know the secret… … .”
Despite the saint’s ironic interrogation, Eshel maintained her unchanging smile until the end.
“So did you find what you were looking for? “If you had found it, you wouldn’t have come looking for me.”
Eshel responded with silence filled with affirmation.
“Actually, there is nothing I can do for you just because you came to see me. Even though I pray sincerely like this every day, there is no response from Rumendel. Like Eshel, who is keeping her mouth shut right now… … .”
The saint finally stood up and carefully turned around.
“But you are so lucky. “I still don’t know for whom, but I heard his revelation last night.”
“… … !”
Eshel’s smile faltered for the first time.
“Did you hear Rumendel’s voice?”
“yes! I was also surprised. Rumendel, who would remain silent even when the demon army invades the human world, gives a revelation. “What kind of darkness have you seen on this peaceful continent?”
Before we knew it, Eshel’s eyes had changed and she was looking at the saint with a hostile gaze.
“You don’t have to glare at me too much, Eshel. Because I have no intention of keeping you from knowing what I know. Even Rummendel wouldn’t want it… … .”
Slowly and secretly.
A saint approaching Eshel.
The two men and women were already close enough to touch each other’s lips.
The saint gently stroked his sculptural face with her hand, then kissed his ear and whispered sweetly.
“You who seek the light of truth. Don’t forget that darkness always coexists with light. If you recall that moment buried in past memories, you will definitely be able to find what you want… … .”
A mysterious revelation from God.
However, it did not take that long to interpret it.
The moment when the lips of the saint who delivered the revelation parted and she smiled bewitchingly at the mesmerized man.
“… … .”
A bright smile appeared on Eshel’s lips.
This is not the fake smile you always show to hide your true feelings,
It was a smile full of joy that came from deep within.

-bang!
The 3rd prince, Fabian, was unable to overcome his boiling anger and hit the table violently.
In front of him, his younger brother, Nerobien, was holding his head and making an unpleasant expression.
“Didn’t you say you would be sure, Fabian? “What kind of idiots did they send to get things to this point?”
“Oh, did you know it would be like this for me? They were selected from among the most reliable mercenary guilds! I also included a person with a particularly unique taste… … .”
Two brothers who sent assassins to the academy to assassinate Princess Arin’s fiancé, Cian Berthe.
But the results were disastrous.
Instead of the news they had been waiting for, which was a successful assassination, they received completely unexpected and terrible news.
“I can’t believe I found Arin again. That unhelpful bitch… … .”
Nerovian gritted his teeth as if he was cursing Arin, who discovered the scene.
“Now that things are like this, the tail must be cut off! “Make sure no one knows we’re involved in this!”
“I know even if you don’t say it! There are already traces of us… … .”
“Princess Violet has arrived!”
While serious conversations were taking place to deal with the situation, an uninvited guest arrived.
The two brothers could not believe their ears when they heard the news of the unexpected visit.
“Rain, why did Violet suddenly… … ?”
Even though the approval order had not been given yet, the door to the room opened and Princess Violet came inside.
“What kind of secret were you talking about that made your expression harden as soon as I arrived?”
The brothers, who were looking at each other, soon greeted her as if they had no choice.
“What brought you here?”
“Do you have to have work to come here? “I just came here to have a chat with my younger siblings.”
“Why are you acting like this? “I guess we’re not close enough to have a chat like that?”
Nerovian spoke bluntly, clearly showing signs of discomfort.
“Iknow, right. Still, we are brothers who share the same blood, so why are we so anxious that we can’t eat each other? “It’s just a pity that they are trying to bring tragedy to a time when it is not enough to give only good things to each other.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“Why did you send someone to the academy?”
“… … !”
“Are you trying to kill Prince Cian Bertran, Arin’s fiancé? And then you were planning to pass it on to me and your brother?”
The pupils of the two brothers, unable to control their facial expressions, shook greatly.
“But it doesn’t seem to have worked out well? “The mercenaries I sent to deal with them were found dead. What on earth is going on?”
“W-what are you saying… … .”
Nerobian quickly tried to deny it, but he couldn’t even say the right words, let alone deny it.
Violet was smiling brightly as if she found her younger siblings’ reactions cute.
“How sad will Momma be if she finds out about this? “It breaks my heart to imagine how shocked she must be.”
“Well, what do you want?”
Fabian, who quickly grasped the situation, asked, barely able to control his trembling voice.
“I heard that Arin was the one who first discovered the scene. How shocked was that young and delicate child? “As her family, I felt like I had to at least comfort her.”
Was he expecting something to come out of her mouth?
The two brothers barely swallowed their dry saliva.
“Shall we go out to the academy to relive old memories?”
