“Both of you stop!”
Someone jumped into the center with a sharp shout. With his platinum hair flying, he summons a water spirit with his right hand, pushes Ignasis away, and shakes off his sword to block the Blade Auror.
Quack!
An explosion occurred, and Hadatum and Relhad were pushed back one step at a time. Relhard blinked in surprise.
“Si, Siris?”
The force that had just pushed Ignasis was several times that of Relhad. No, does that mean that child’s spirit magic has become this strong?
“uh? Miss Siris?”
The argument was also shocking. Currently, there was a faint white light hovering around Siris’ scimitar. That light simply blocked his Blade Aura. I wondered if he was an Auror, but it seemed like he wasn’t. It seemed similar, but something was different. But what is certain is that that white light has as much power as an Auror.
Siris, with both sides suppressed, opened her eyes with a twinkle in her eye.
“This is not your business to decide!”
He shouted at the same time that he was having an argument with Relhard and that it was unfair.
“What are you talking about, Siris? “If you were a woman, you would know their pain well!”
Although he was a descendant of a clan, Siris was externally the head of the elves. So, Relhard also used the honorific language.
“No, you’re siding with us because we’re both elves? After all, those women were slaves! You weren’t even a virgin! But does it make sense to pay with death?”
Our standards are so different that we can’t communicate. Siris’ eyes lit up with murder. I was overcome with frustration. A murderous intent was blooming for no reason.
‘These annoying things… … Should I kill them all?’
For a moment, Siris was shocked and came to his senses.
‘What was I just thinking?’
I got goosebumps down my back. I began to doubt whether the thoughts I just had were really my own. It felt like someone was whispering evilly inside my head.
“ha… … .”
Siris tried to catch her breath and calm her heart. She looked to her left and right and spoke calmly.
“I’m not here to take anyone’s side. I’m just here to mediate. “I think we should leave it to Mr. Leffenhardt to judge this matter.”
The momentum of the argument with Relhard has subsided. Reppenhardt was the benefactor of them all. If it is the conclusion he reaches, both sides can understand and accept it.
“Good.”
“good night!”
Relhard and Hadatum took up their weapons at the same time. The elf and orc warriors standing behind also began to withdraw their fighting spirit as they saw the atmosphere.
It was time for Siris to sigh in relief.
“You’re wrong, Miss Siris.”
Suddenly, a cold voice was heard from above the orcs’ tent. After arguing with Relhad, Siris looked at him in surprise. In particular, the surprise of the altercation was great.
‘Who is it? ‘I didn’t feel any sign of it?’
A beautiful purple-haired elf was standing firmly on top of the tent. Her expression is extremely cold, and her eyes look arrogantly at the audience. Siris was startled. She was the one who always followed Reppenhardt around and made a fool of him.
“Hey, Mr. Iniya?”
The current Iniya was not the woman Siris knew. She was showing off a more powerful and powerful presence than anyone else. She has a confident appearance that would make her worthy of being called the Snow Queen.
“There are things in the world you can step away from, and there are things you cannot step away from.”
Iniya let out a haughty voice and easily pulled out her rapier. Her coldness and murderousness flowed out even more intensely from her whole body. It was a time when everyone gathered was shaking.
Whick!
Suddenly her appearance disappeared. And immediately a scream broke out.
“Ahh!”
“Ahh!”
“Gagging!”
Hadatum turned his head in surprise. Iniya easily deceived his eyes and quickly turned around and blew off the heads of the three orc rapists kneeling on his knees!
Three streams of blood flowed into the air. The orcs were embarrassed and took a step back. Iniya’s rapier danced again. He was planning on beheading the three remaining rapists.
“this!”
Hadatun was embarrassed and threw himself away. He shouted, spraying Blade Aura to block the attack.
“What are you doing! These are our clan! “We decide whether to live or die!”
Iniya lightly turned the sword. The attack of the altercation changed its trajectory and went in the wrong direction. In an instant, Iniya approached and aimed his rapier at his opponent’s neck. An eerie coldness, accompanied by anticipation, touched his uvula. The movement of the argument stopped.
“Ugh!”
Iniya is the highest-ranking Auror user, comparable to Kalken, the strongest Orc fighter. I guess my fighting skills are a bit lacking.
Iniya opened her mouth while aiming her sword.
“Know this. “We are different from each other.”
She spoke not only to the quarrel but also to all the orcs.
“The value is different for different people. There are things in this world that have more value than death. “That’s what you guys did.”
Iniya concluded her words firmly with authority as an elf and the head of the clan.
“Respect it. Otherwise, we will not respect you either.”
After a while, Asreil and Atilka rushed to the Orc district with a guard. He came in a hurry after hearing the news of the accident. Atilka clicked her tongue as she looked at the decapitated corpses of the orc rapists. The bodies were covered in white cold, so it was obvious who killed them.
“Tsk… … .”
Asreil captured the three surviving orcs and tied them up. The intention was to transfer it to the government office. Then, I suddenly looked at Iniya and was taken aback.
“Umm, Iniya… … .”
He is an orc rapist, so of course he is arrested because he is guilty. But what should we do with Iniya who killed those orcs? In any case, there is no doubt that he ignored the law of the land and immediately committed murder without trial. However, I don’t know if I would dare to arrest Iniya, the head of the Styria clan and a powerful Auror user.
At that time, Iniya smiled and held out both hands.
“Arrest. “Killing a citizen is clearly a serious crime.”
Asreil was horrified and shook his head.
“Oh, no. How can I tie you up? It’s not like you’re going to run away… … .”
Are you tying Iniya up like a criminal and taking her away? It was something Asreil could not even imagine. But she remained calm.
“The law is the law. “Tie it up.”
Asreil gently tied Iniya’s arms. It was tied so lightly that it almost came undone with just a little bit of force. Well, with her ability, even if I tied her up tightly, it wouldn’t have been a problem to cut her off entirely, so it was a meaningless act.
Still, Asreil seemed to be concerned about Iniya’s appearance and took off her cloak to cover Iniya’s bound wrists. He seemed to have calmed down a bit after that and spoke softly.
“Nothing will happen, Iniya. “No matter what anyone says, those guys are criminals.”

Asreil walked again, taking Iniya with him. Her cold and stern appearance from a moment ago was gone, and she smiled with her eyes and became playful.
“Oh, I crashed it… … Hehe, what if Repenhardt hates you?”
Siris stared blankly at Iniya’s back as she walked away. Even though she was the person I was jealous of, I felt like I couldn’t possibly be as jealous as Iniya right now.
☆ ☆ ☆
Iniya’s punishment for taking the orcs’ lives without permission was quite light. Because of her status and because her target was not innocent, she was sentenced to imprisonment for a week.
Surprisingly, there was no backlash from the Orc side. She actually went out of her way to defend her in case of an argument.
“I don’t blame fighter Iniya. “She did the right thing.”
In the first place, the fight wasn’t because I liked those orc rapists. I just thought it was a reasonable punishment from the perspective of ruling my own people. After seeing Iniya’s hard-line attitude, it was only then that I understood how big of a crime they had committed.
Orcs are honest and straightforward, so they do not fight for power due to pride issues like humans do, and they often understand when they show it through actions rather than words. Iniya’s ‘argument’ was easy to understand even from an Orc perspective.
The next afternoon.
An official execution ceremony was held in the square of Aranan Grad. A large number of people gathered in the square to watch the execution ceremony.
The purpose of punishment is to control crime, but the purpose of preventing future crimes by making it public to everyone is actually more powerful. There is a need to show that anyone who commits such incidents in the future will definitely be put to death.
The leaders of the Principality of Antares appeared on the terrace of the second floor of the government office in front of the square.
Duke Reppenhardt, Karl, representatives of each race, Siris, Tashid, Atilka, and Marqueline took the lead, and then a dispute emerged with Relhard, the representative of the race involved in this incident.
Carol listed the sins of sinners in a solemn voice. And he shouted.
“… … Therefore, they are sentenced to death! “Bring out the sinners!”
Three orcs were dragged out, tied with ropes. Where had the confidence gone when they attacked the elf women? They all looked beaten and scared.
Orcs were tied to the scaffold. The body is fixed by forcing the person to lie down on the frame. An orc man holding a scary sword poured alcohol on his blade.
The rapists screamed in horror.
“Please save me!”
“Wrong!”
“Forgive me just once!”
The crowd began to whisper. Mainly dwarves, elves, and trolls reacted as expected. Humans and Orcs only looked at women with disdain, saying they thought they would do that.
On the other hand, the human and orc men looked puzzled.
“Wow, that’s really killer… … .”
“No, I wouldn’t go so far as to kill you just because you raped me… … .”
“Are you really going to cut my throat?”
Carol frowned as she keenly observed their reactions.
‘Of course, I should have done this sooner.’
Carol sent a glance behind her back. Reppenhardt nodded his head and stepped forward. The bound orc rapists screamed as he appeared on the terrace.
“Please save me! your majesty!”
“I’ll never do this again!”
Since it was shouted in Orcish language, it only sounded like a growl to the ears of other races. The women were shocked, saying that they were indeed vicious criminals.
Repenhark raised his hand with a stern expression.
“Execute!”
An orc bastard, holding a knife and rolling his eyes, approached the tied prisoners. The prisoners’ expressions became more thoughtful. When they thought they were really going to die, everyone became so angry that they started shouting.
“If you were going to kill me like this, why did you save me?”
“Who are you to kill us at will! “You bastards!”
“Who asked you to save us? ok? Did you ask to be set free? “If I had just lived like that, nothing would have happened!”
The cries of vicious prisoners rose above the execution platform. Reppenhardt looked down at them with an indifferent face. The orc bastard’s sword danced a sword dance.
Whi profit!
“Aaaahhh!”
With a scream, a severed head fell into the basket. The remaining orc rapists glared at Refenhardt with menacing eyes. It was a look filled with hate, only hate.
“Be cursed! Dirty human being!”
Another head fell off, letting out a cry of despair. The orc bastard’s skills were amazing. He uses his knife to cut off three people’s necks without showing any signs of difficulty.
Damn it!
The head of the last orc rapist was also cut off. The two wide-open eyes were full of fear and hatred. The square became deathly quiet.
Breaking the silence, Carol declared.
“Now, the execution ceremony is over!”
3
The western tower of the Royal Palace, Gairach.
Iniya was imprisoned in the basement of the tower where the royal prison was located. Like a prison, it was a dark and damp place with little light coming in, but she did not feel particularly uncomfortable living there.
To begin with, Iniya used to sleep well lying down even on the iceberg. The North Sea especially lacks sunlight, so although it is a dark prison, it is not that short of sunlight.
