Episode 217. For a new order (3)
“sorry… … .”
After calling my name, Kellin immediately apologized to me.
Sorry, sorry.
Honestly, I never thought I would hear those words first from that guy’s mouth.
I thought the words of resentment would come out first, saying they were waiting for me, or why they only came now.
Well, it’s proof that the shadow personality I planted has survived well.
“Due to my shortcomings, Master Xian’s identity was discovered.”
That was something that was discovered a long time ago, so it’s funny to question it now, but…
Even 7 years after my identity was discovered, the fact that I am still alive and well without dying is not something I can just ignore.
This would mean that they still have something they want to gain from Kelin.
“Since when have you been like this?”
“Unfortunately, I don’t remember much. Probably not a few years… … .”
I gently placed my hand on his head, which was covered in sweat and blood.
Then, he gently closed his eyes and transferred the mana.
Well, it’s almost like I’ve massaged my brain.
There were still traces of mental torture that might have been left on him to find any traces of me.
If it were an ordinary person’s personality, it would have already collapsed and lost its function.
Fortunately, because it was a personality created with the power of high-level magic, it was still holding on.
Do you feel any pity?
at all.
This guy was a puppet created from the beginning to do my bidding.
He’s a guy who doesn’t even have room to feel affection.
If I hadn’t brought personality to it in the first place, it’s safe to say that they would have joined hands with the guys who created this space and helped screw me over.
I feel sorry for that guy.
It hasn’t retreated to that level yet.
“Joe, be careful. They still believe that they cannot handle Xian on their own. Therefore, it seems that they are preparing to confront Xian by creating a completely different being than themselves.”
“what is that?”
“sorry. I’m fine up to that point… … .”
“Is there anything more to say?”
He was speechless for a moment in response to my truly cold question.
“Thank you so much for showing up now.”
-Suddenly
With words that seemed like my last will, I cut off Kelin’s head.
Are you saying it relieves the pain?
If we keep leaving it anyway, they will end up following their tastes.
He might think so.
Well, honestly, I feel like I just killed it because it was too much of a hassle to manage it.
It’s not that good, so there’s no need to keep it alive.
-plodding along
Before long, I heard unfamiliar footsteps coming from the direction of the door I came in through.
One person, not many.
It wasn’t heavy, but it didn’t feel light either.
The footsteps that were getting closer and closer towards this direction suddenly stopped right in front of the door.
He stopped when he saw me standing between the open door.
I thought he hesitated for a moment, but he took his steps again and went inside.
Since I had no intention of hiding, I also turned my head and faced him.
“… … .”
Black hair, short cut, bleary eyes, slender body.
His age is similar to mine now or one or two years younger.
At first glance, he may look like an androgynous man, but he is a woman.
There’s a lot of lust on your face.
Unless you were an idiot, you would have been able to tell what was happening in this room just by looking at it for just one second, but she didn’t even react, let alone panic.
“Did you kill Kellin?”
Instead of answering, I turned my attention to the tray she was holding in her hands.
A slice of bread and a glass of water.
I could tell right away that they had come to give him food, or more accurately, to prolong his life.
“Are you by any chance an assassin?”
Despite repeated questions, I remained silent.
I waited quietly to see what reaction he would have if I left him alone.
“… … .”
She seemed to gently put down the tray she was holding, but then she just started staring blankly in place.
I hope you stay like that for a few minutes.
“What are you doing?”
I, who couldn’t see, asked first.
“Are you staying still?”
“why?”
“You’re going to kill me. “I don’t think it would be possible to run away.”

She doesn’t look like a royal palace maid, much less a knight, and she certainly doesn’t look like a noble.
Not only is it not enough to freely enter and leave the secret space of the imperial palace, but he also carries food with him?
There was a strange smell that was irritating the tip of my nose.
“Kelyn’s face. “It looks very comfortable.”
She said as she looked at Kelin’s head, which had been cut off.
“He always had a pained expression on his face. Still, he didn’t say anything. “I felt sorry for him the whole time, but you saved him.”
Of course, I mentioned one of my least favorite words.
“If you are not an assassin, are you a Knight of Salvation?”
Is this some kind of boring joke?
The observation ends here.
I have no intention of wasting time with miscellaneous questions such as what is your name and why are you here?
The moment he grabbed her by the hair and tried to get out,
“… … !”
My hands shook for a moment.
Right hand, to be exact.
To be more precise, a strong vibration erupted from Kayram, which was tightly held in his right hand.
I kept an eye on Kayram to see if he was trying to materialize, but
[…] … .]
In Kayram, let alone the fog, not even voices could be heard.
Regardless of whether Kayram came to his senses or not, the magic sword itself sensed a certain energy and caused a rejection reaction.
“That’s a magic sword, right?”
My eyes returned to her again.
“Kairam, a magic sword said to have inherited the power of Aer, the god of black fog.”
She continued speaking with a calm face without any change in expression.
“Seeing as you have that, I guess you are that Sian Bert.”
There is insufficient evidence to say that he was hit.
This is something I heard about myself from someone and inferred about me based on that evidence.
Suddenly, the last words he told me before cutting off Kelin’s head flashed through my mind.
Did you say that you were preparing to confront me by creating a completely new being?
I thought I would make a few more puppets at best, but
It looks like they were preparing a more special doll this time.
“what is your name?”
With a stern face, I asked her name.
She opened her mouth with a calm expression, as if there was no problem at all.
“missing child.”
“… … !”
“I’m Mia Harfenkus.”
Should I say it saved me an hour? Or should I say it added an extra hour?
President Kundel said earlier.
Just before he retired, there was a student named Harpenkus who transferred to the academy.
She is like that now,
“Do you know me?”
It was sitting right in front of my eyes.

After the unilateral declaration of the meeting, Violette, Eshel, Boris, and Arin gathered again in the second princess’s room.
“Thank you for your hard work. Lord Eshel.”
“It was the princesses who suffered, not me. In particular, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Princess Arin. “She looked amazing.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
Arin did not react much, saying it was something she should have done.
“The power of the Holy Sword extends throughout the empire. I can’t help but feel truly reassured. “There is no noble who would refuse the power of the Holy Sword without going crazy, right?”
Violette looked triumphant, as if she was satisfied that things were going well.
“Unfortunately there was one.”
The one who broke the mood was none other than Boris.
“What does that mean?”
“Among the twenty families that attended the meeting, the Count Nigriti was the only one that expressed its intention not to accept power.”
“If you are Count Nigriti, do you mean Miss Sirika?”
Arin, who was also surprised, asked with flashing eyes.
“What did you say the reason was?”
Ignoring Arin’s question, Violet raised her eyebrows and questioned.
“The reason was that there was no talent on their side to inherit that power.”
Violette immediately realized that it was a false reason to avoid the situation.
“No matter where you go, there are people who suspect perfect jewelry to be counterfeit. “I don’t think there’s a need to worry too much.”
Boris calmed down the somewhat tense atmosphere, saying that it would be easy to overcome.
“Then I will step aside for a moment. “Because I have work to do.”
Then he leisurely left the room alone.
Violette looked back at Eshel with a slightly displeased expression and asked.
“I wanted to ask you this for a long time, wasn’t Boris originally your brother’s person? “Since when did he start following Lord Eshel?”
An 8-star level that is not commonly seen even in the Imperial Magic Society, a driving force to accomplish any task without any hesitation, and even management skills that cannot be guessed.
He was a man with tremendous ability, so much so that people who saw him thought that he was a God-given talent.
Since when did he, who was chosen by Prince Ruinel, start following Eshel?
This was something Arin always had doubts about.
Eshel answered with a simple smile.
“Since ancient times, it has been said that God arranges the inevitable. Should I just say that I found out right away when we first met? “We can do a lot for each other.”
“Are you saying it was a fateful meeting?”
“I think you can think of it as the same way I chose the princess in Belias.”
“You feel like you’re trying to brush it off, don’t you? Well, I’ll just keep that in mind for now.”
Violette may have some doubts, but her attitude was not to worry too much.
While the remaining three were holding a meeting to begin their next task,
Boris escaped alone and took the stairs down to the basement of the imperial palace.
A dark hallway with only gloomy torches lighting the way.
Eventually, Boris stopped in front of a room.
“… … .”
He tried to grab the doorknob without thinking, but stopped for a moment when he felt an unusual energy coming from behind the door.
Then, before long, he hurriedly opened the door.
Then, the fishy smell of blood, which made me furrow my brow, pierced my nose.
Boris soon discovered Kelin’s head lying on the floor and Mia standing indifferently in front of it.
Even when Boris came in, she didn’t say or do anything, just stared at Kelin’s severed head.
Looking at Mia like that, Boris asked carefully.
“Something happened. missing child?”
“He came.”
“What if it’s him?”
“I am Sian Vert, the master of the magic sword that Teacher Boris always talked about.”
Boris had an ambiguous expression, neither smiling nor embarrassed.
“Did he kill Kellin?”
“yes. “I was planning on feeding her and torturing her like I always did, but now that she was dead like this, I didn’t know what to do, so I just stayed quiet.”
There was a bit of regret in her indifferent eyes.
“Where did he go?”
“I don’t know. “I thought he was going to kill me, but he just asked my name and disappeared somewhere.”
After hearing those words, Boris quickly looked around for signs.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel any negative energy that could be called life or blood.
“Instead, I asked him to leave now and pass on this message to the person he will meet next.”
“what… Did you do it?”
Her gaze, which had been focused on Kelin’s head, suddenly returned to Boris.
Then, without any change in expression, she spoke softly to him, as if an emotionless doll was speaking.
“It’s so damn… … .”
