Episode 115. Retribution (2)
A gloomy sky with dark clouds and heavy rain falling within it.
The dull and gloomy weather seemed to represent her unstable mind.
-Squeak
When someone entered the room with the sound of the door, Princess Violet quickly turned her head.
“This is Eshel.”
The princess’s eyes sank coldly, as if she wasn’t the guest she wanted.
“You seem disappointed.”
When Eshel asked with a sly smile, the princess also laughed as if it were funny.
“I think the disappointment was yours, not mine. Lord Eshel? Are you sad that your plan went wrong? Or is there some final plan left that you haven’t revealed yet?”
“… … .”
“Shall we boldly tell each other what happened? Did you try to kill me? “At your brother’s behest?”
Eshel couldn’t answer right away.
“My brother, who is so jealous, wouldn’t just let me go for something like this. “The reason why you, my brother’s person, were chosen is proof of that.”
Eshel laughed slightly and took something out of her arms.
It was a parchment scroll that looked extremely ordinary.
“This is a summoning scroll that can summon a demonic beast. It is a very useful artifact that can summon a demonic beast on the spot if you manifest a certain amount of mana. Of course, it is also possible to write it here and now.”
In fact, it was an explanation that was tantamount to a confession.
“I won’t make excuses. As the princess thought, Prince Ruinel asked me to kill the princess on the front line, summoned demonic beasts during the tour through a transfer scroll to cause confusion, and then attempted to assassinate the princess.”
-Growling
However, as if it was no longer needed, Eshel burned the scroll on the spot.
“But the plan went wrong from the beginning. “In addition to the unexpected reinforcement of the imperial army, I didn’t know that there would be a knight from the princess planted on our side.”
“is it so. But if you don’t struggle even if you know you’re going to be killed, you’re no different from an unintelligent microorganism. “I made the best choice I could.”
The princess crossed her arms and looked triumphant.
“Let me ask you something. Eshel Ball. “Did you really intend to kill me alone on this trip?”
“Why are you saying that?”
“Otherwise, there’s no way you would recommend Ellis to me as your personal guardian knight, right? A sister who knows nothing about your plans… … .”
“… … .”
“Were you planning on killing us together? “Me and my younger brother?”
Princess Violet would like to receive a personal escort from the Knight of Light, Ellis.
This was the story Eshel told when she first met Ellis.
But the truth wasn’t like that.
This was what Eshel wanted, not the princess, and the princess simply called Ellis in response to his recommendation.
“Seeing as you didn’t answer, it seems like my guess was right.”
Eshel answered with a faint smile.
“Well, I won’t ask why. Where are the soybean flour families? Everyone has their own personal circumstances that even blood that is thicker than water has to lose… … .”
The princess nodded as if she understood.
“But no matter what, it’s better for a player to hit first. I heard from Cecilia that Ellis also distrusts you quite a bit. “If we leave it like this, Lord Eshel’s beautiful bare face might be revealed.”
“… … “Let me tell you a fun fact.”
Eshel, who had remained silent, finally opened her mouth.
“What happened during this trip has not yet been reported to the imperial palace. “Even the informant hasn’t been sent yet.”
“So?”
“The tour is over, but the report on the tour can change at any time.”
At first glance, it may sound like an insignificant statement, but the inner meaning is absolutely not like that.
Reports on the tour may change at any time.
These words were a kind of warning that the imperial family’s tour was not over yet and that something worse might happen to her.
When the princess noticed this, her face instantly darkened.
“Right now… … Are you threatening me?”
Eshel shook her head and said.
“My plan has already been ruined. Now I don’t even feel like making new plans. “I just wanted to broaden the princess’s horizons.”
The princess frowned.
“Really? You are my brother’s, right? “I don’t think there’s any need to do something nice for someone your master wants to kill, right?”
“Who said that? “Prince Ruinel is my master?”
-Kwarung!
At that moment, heavy thunder roared outside the window as heavy rain poured down.
“yes… … ?”
Princess Violet tilted her head as if she thought she had heard wrong.
Eshel continued speaking regardless.
“I serve no one. Even more so, they are not serving the prince. “It’s just a business relationship where we collaborate for each other’s goals.”
“Are you telling me to believe that now?”
“My mouth is not light enough to make up lies with nonsense words.”
“So, does that mean I can pass on these words to my brother as is? “I really wonder if you think the same way!”
Eshel shook her shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
The princess was so embarrassed that she couldn’t continue speaking, and there was a moment of silence between the two.
“Eshel… … “What on earth do you want?”
The princess’s voice, which opened her mouth again, showed a slight tremor unlike before.
The moment she realized that she was a more unknown person than she thought, fear rose along with vigilance.
“Do you even want this country?”

“It’s not like that.”
Eshel immediately dismissed the princess’s guess.
“I try to dream the highest dream that a human being can pursue.”
“The highest dream?”
“yes. “We will overcome the walls of limitations prescribed for humans and reach the highest level possible.”
The princess laughed as if it were absurd.
“Ha, isn’t that such an absurd statement? Are you trying to become a god?”
“What you think is up to the princess. but… … .”
Eshel moved her body and slowly approached the princess.
The moment I made eye contact with her right in front of me,
“I hope the princess will join me on the path to my dream.”
Eshel grinned and held out his hand to her.
“Let me be your person… … . “Is this what you’re saying?”
It was a very dangerous statement to make a member of the supreme imperial family his own.
The person making the statement continued as if there was no problem at all.
“Didn’t I tell you? I don’t serve anyone. So shouldn’t the princess be mine?”
Princess Violet thought.
How should one react to this rude and impure behavior?
Should we show off the princess’s power and suppress him?
The worries didn’t last long.
All the random thoughts that were confusing her mind soon disappeared, and only one thought came to dominate her mind.
I need to hold his hand right now,
The moment Princess Violet, who had made up her mind, tried to take Eshel’s hand,
“Kick!”
An unfamiliar sound of laughter was heard from one corner of the space.
Eshel and the princess immediately sensed that they were popular and immediately turned their heads.
-Cookung!
“… … !”
Another thunderstorm revealed the silhouette of an unfamiliar figure standing on the window sill.
He was squatting on the windowsill, looking at them with interest, as if he found this situation amusing.
Since when has it been around?
I didn’t feel any energy until I heard laughter.
A jet black cloak and mask that hides the entire body.
There was no one in all of Belias dressed like that.
“Who are you?”
Eshel, who came to her senses, was the first to ask.
-tuk
The unknown being wordlessly threw the pouch he was holding in one hand towards them.
The bag rolled around and stopped in front of Princess Violet.
Instead of the princess, who took a step back due to an unpleasant feeling, Eshel checked inside.
“Aaaah!”
After checking the contents, the princess screamed and fell backwards.
Eshel’s face was also seriously distorted.
“Three, three… … !”
The second princess, unable to continue her conversation, pointed to the contents of her pocket with a trembling hand.
What the unknown entity threw was so grotesquely distorted that it was impossible to look at it with open eyes.
“Cecilia!”
It was the head of knight Cecilia.
I wondered what kind of pain someone had to go through to have a face as strange as that, to the point where a disgusting feeling rose up inside me.
“… … .”
The unknown being was just smiling wickedly, as if asking if he liked the gift.
* * *
I unexpectedly heard a very interesting story.
The highest dream that a human being can pursue?
What a wonderful thing to say.
Isn’t this a statement that highlights the firm will to overcome one’s limitations and climb to the highest heights possible?
But now that I’ve heard these wonderful words from the devil’s mouth, how can I not laugh?
It’s so absurd that it’s almost laughable.
“… … !”
Have you become mute after eating honey? Why are there no words?
I threw it to them once, hoping that they would open their mouths if I gave them a gift, but I was so proud that they even sat down because they were so moved.
“I will ask you again. “Who are you?”
How can an older brother, whom you respect so much, not even recognize your cute younger brother’s face?
Of course, just because you asked, I have no intention of answering.
There was no way I was going to tell him what he wanted to know in the first place, right?
I walked towards him without saying a word.
He must also know that the 2nd princess and Cecilia plotted his sister’s assassination.
Even though he knew that, he was still extending his hand to the second princess.
Just thinking about it makes me angry again.
-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
Sensing a threat, he injected mana into the sword.
The magical power of pure white light emitted a brilliant brilliance as if telling people not to approach.
“I will ask you for the last time! If you don’t comply anymore, I’ll kill you… … !”
-Kang!
Laughing at ridiculous bullshit once is enough.
If I listen to that guy’s voice any longer, I don’t know how my mind, which I can barely hold on to, will change.
The guy’s sword fell to the floor with a loud noise.
“What a monster! It’s a monster! A stranger is in my room right now… … !”
When a person is scared, the senses of the body usually stop, but usually the mouth cannot do that.
I rushed to cover the princess’s mouth in one step, and naturally made eye contact with her.
“… … !”
The face engulfed in fear was a sight to behold.
Did you say it was a struggle to survive?
Well, it’s an extremely natural thing that humans can do.
However, I cannot accept that my older sister was the means for this.
In my heart, I want to return the pain my sister went through to this bitch like the owner of that rolling neck… … .
-piik
Her body suddenly snapped and collapsed.
He fainted.
Kim Sae-eun.
I’m not going to kill him today anyway, so I guess it’s okay to just leave him alone.
I got up and turned my attention to him again.
“… … .”
He’s staring at me with a questioning gaze, but he can’t actually move his body.
The guardian who will save the continent in the future is trembling at the sight of a mere assassin.
Even if I kill this guy now, I won’t be satisfied.
I just turned around.
It must be questionable.
You won’t understand what’s happening now.
But I need to know you.
Today’s work is just the beginning for you.
The grand dream you plan and want to achieve in the future,
It will be completely broken and ruined because of me.
I hope that moment comes as soon as possible,
I will be waiting very long.
