There was only silence in the spacious room.

There was no need to check whether the soundproofing was good.

That’s because Lucia believed in Seira’s abilities, and she had her own work to do.

Lucia stared at Yoru, who was shooting a menacing look in his eyes.

‘As expected, we look alike.’

I’ve always met in dark places and didn’t recognize him, but now it’s different. The hotel room was bright with chandeliers, and even though they made a fuss, Yoru was chained up.

Yoru, the barbarian princess.

She was prettier than the picture on the wanted book.

The breasts visible under the blouse were big, and the pure white legs were slender, so Lucia felt cool to look at.

He raised his eyebrows and showed a poisonous aura, but the corners of his eyes were a bit disappointing.

The predator-like eyes were also attractive, and the red lips kept stealing my attention even though there was no makeup.

‘…I used to look like this too.’

“Ha…”

Lucia, who was staring at Yoru, let out a deep sigh.

I wondered if it was a sigh, but it was because I felt a deep sense of regret when I looked down and looked at her body.

A full body.

His fierce eyes are the same as in his previous life, but he is short and has no dignity. Even though he shows off his fierce spirit and shows off his form, it seems like the kid is trying to avoid being looked down upon.

You don’t know how much trouble I had at the academy because of this.

Cyriel, the same Prien and young lady, never got into trouble at all, but if you look at why she was the only one who was bullied by the kids, the only reason was because of her height.

‘If only I were taller, or at least 15 centimeters taller than I am now…!’

The most important thing was the height difference with Siron.

For the past 20 years, I haven’t had any major complaints about my short stature. If there was someone who started a fight, she could just beat them up, and being short didn’t mean she was weak.

But now,

Lucia’s short stature created a problem that could not be overcome.

When kissing or when forming a relationship between a man and a woman.

To even kiss Siron, he has to bend down, and because of this, he can’t even take the lead in the kiss.

What about when you’re in a relationship?

Because of the height difference, they obviously can’t kiss during the relationship, and every now and then, they end up struggling with their buttocks and legs lifted as if they were being skewered.

‘It’s ugly.’

Roaring and shaking.

‘If it were me in my past life… I could have done better with Shiron.

Lucia felt embarrassed for no reason and blushed.

‘What is this, you bastard? ‘Why are you suddenly blushing?’

Yoru, who was tied up tightly, looked at Lucia in bewilderment.

“What, why are you still? Was there a spell?”

“…Keuhum.”

Lucia cleared her throat at Seira’s call.

“I was thinking about something else for a moment.”

Lucia shook her head and muttered. Now is not the time to leisurely enjoy things like this.

The guy in front of you is a terrorist who threatens the security of the empire, and seeing as he is called a princess or something, he must know a lot of information.

“Do you know what magic is?”

Lucia said, taking full control of the mood.

“No matter how much of a fuss you made. So, even if you loosen your grip, it’s better to stay still.”

“…”

After confirming that Yoru was not struggling, Lucia removed the gag. The jaw strength was quite strong, and the teeth marks were clearly visible on the black iron ingot.

“……What are you! Kidnapping people at random times!”

Yoru, who regained his freedom to speak, spoke evilly.

“What is Kylie all of a sudden? What organization name is this? A secret society raised by the empire?!”

“I would have said that there was no use in shouting.”

“What! Did you expect me to treat you like this and not get angry?”

“Well… you have a nasty temper.”

Lucia clicked her tongue and shook her head.

Was this how the Allied Forces felt when they saw Kylie 500 years ago? The barbarian woman did not lose her temper even though she was tightly bound in chains.

Extreme belligerence.

Even though this was the one holding on to her lifeline, Yoru didn’t care at all.

‘Are you stupid, or are you truly barbarians and uncultured?’

Lucia crossed her arms, crossed her legs, and looked pitiful.

“Are you aware that you are a terrorist? Aside from killing him, he should be thankful that he didn’t cut off his limbs.”

“…Threats don’t work.”

“Really?”

Lucia put a sword on her hand blade. Yoru clicked his tongue and frowned.

‘He’s a cuter kid than he looks.’

Doesn’t he punch his head with the force of exploding his head? Doesn’t the light atmosphere change like he flips his palm?

Lucia was a new type of person among the people Yoru had met.

‘…strong.’

I hate to admit it, but I couldn’t do that when I saw the long strength extending from my fingertips.

Yoru may not be the strongest, but he was confident that he was the best in talent among his age group. However, seeing a kid who looks 10 years younger than me show off his strength so easily is a huge blow to my pride.

Yoru, feeling downcast, calmed down.

“…If I had cut it, I would have cut it a long time ago.”

“Hmph!”

Lucia snorted and put away her outstretched sword. This is not the time to be leisurely fighting. It has already been sorted out who is in charge, and someone should have found the body by now.

“I need to hear the reason why he killed someone on the same team.”

“That’s…”

‘Live a good life’

A phrase that suddenly crossed my mind. Yoru hastily shook his head.

“…Should I tell you?”

“You were chatting excitedly just now.”

Lucia stared at Yoru as if laughing.

“What did you say? If you had left it alone, it would have led to genocide, and the guys who followed your father… weren’t you trying to prevent terrorism?”

“…….Yes.”

Yoru said with a feeling of despair. This was not because they gave in to threats, but because they did not have time.

“Father… The Grand Elder is now planning to commit massacre against the people of the empire. I was hitting first to stop him.”

Lucia quietly listened to Yoru’s words. Then he tilted his head.

As if asking what kind of bullshit you are talking about.

“It’s strange.”

“What?”

“Isn’t terrorism a massacre? You also massacred the people of the empire. That’s why I got a wanted notice.”

“Aren’t these guys having a faction fight? He has his own faction and is trying to prevent his father’s faction from achieving more achievements.”

Seira shrugged and supported Lucia’s words.

“I… didn’t commit massacre.”

“What bullshit. Don’t you remember shooting Siron?”

“That man was someone who acted under orders from the emperor. What I’m talking about is an outcast. In other words, it means not killing civilians carelessly.”

Yoru met his gaze as if he was seeing something absurd. My conscience was not pricked. Because she was aware that she was telling the truth.

“Not long ago, the entire hotel collapsed. Isn’t the person in there a civilian?”

“I could say that with certainty. Those people are not civilians. They are influential people who came to line up for the new emperor.”

“Well, the hotel staff. Employees are just salaried workers.”

“Don’t you know the meaning of minimization?”

Yoru looked irritated and glared at Lucia.

“Then I will ask. Since he is a powerful person, he has many people under his command, and of course he has guards, so can he choose just one person to kill? From the beginning, there was intelligence that the entire hotel was rented out for the coronation ceremony.”

“Awesome self-defense.”

“Elves, be quiet. Don’t get involved in human fights.”

“…talking nonsense about a young subject.”

Seira touched her forehead. It’s been a long time since I heard something like that. It’s been hundreds of years since elves were discovered to be a subspecies of humans, but I think it’s because they are barbarians.

“This is no different from war.”

Yoru spoke to Lucia, who was worried.

“In the past decades, the knights of the empire have also killed our people. So are you going to blame those people?”

“…Do you want to justify murder?”

“It’s not a justification, we’re just stating our position.”

“…”

“We must make it clear that there is a difference between simply showing off our existence by killing civilians and conveying our will by killing the leader of a force opposing us.”

At first, everyone had the same thoughts as Yoru, but after the number of unseen demons increased, more and more people harbored extreme thoughts. It was no different for Yoru’s father, [Elder Gaijin], but after what happened in the steppe, the elder’s anger became a ignited fuse.

Yoru gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

“If you were really going to commit murder, you wouldn’t go through all this trouble to come to the capital. You can just kill the civilians on the border as soon as you see them, so why?”

“……Sounds like plausible bullshit. It seems plausible.”

“Think about it. If I was simply going to massacre the civilians, why would I kill my fellow countrymen?”

“Isn’t that because you’re a crazy murderer?”

“Ha… Just let me loose.”

Yoru sighed in disgust. The heat inside me must have been so high that cloudy steam came out of my mouth.

“It’s so absurd. Now they are asking me to release everything.”

“While this is going on, warriors are coming in? If you care about the empire, isn’t it right to let me go?”

“You keep asking me to release you, but even if I say that, you won’t release me?”

“Then, let’s go together! If you don’t trust me, just keep it next to you and watch!”

Lucia turned her head from Yoru to Seira.

“Is there no magic to remove memories?”

“Hey!”

“Um…”

Seira thought for a moment and tapped the top of Yoru’s head with her cane.

Dozens of magic circles were carved in the air, and the spell was broken with the sound of a tin can being struck.

“High magic resistance. No mental interference.”

“…Should I kill him.”

“There is a curse that creates very tough dog collars. How about that?”

Seira sent a wary look towards the embarrassed barbarian.

*

An alley late at night.

In an alley near Jungang Station, a yellow band was blocking access to citizens. Police officers in uniform were running around bustling around, and citizens were watching them as a spectacle.

-What’s going on?”

-I heard there was a stabbing at the inn.

-Are you going to go outside because you’re scared of this?

“Ha.”

Dalkak-

Bertha sighed and closed the window. Then, he looked at the paper handed out by his subordinate and listened to the report.

“…3rd floor, 222-3 Jungang-ro. Three corpses were found, all with their clothes removed, two with penetrating wounds on the chest, and one with his throat cut.”

“You’ll know it when you see it.”

“But I can’t find out his identity. Fingerprints were not registered, and the ID card he had was forged.”

“I guess so.”

Bertha rolled up a wad of paper and pounded her head.

If it were a simple murder case, the special agent would not have been dispatched.

After the coronation, the higher-ups had become more sensitive to illegal immigrants, and the dispatch of Berta, who was wearing a police officer’s badge, was not regarded as an overreaction.

And the response from the top was not in vain. Berta was convinced that the person who killed these people was much stronger than herself.

‘…I should have quit a long time ago.’

Berta, clutching her sore stomach, thought of the man who came to her office.

Even though Siron grew much taller than her, he had such a strong impression of when he was young that his childhood image naturally came to mind.
