Camilla’s feelings for Raoul were not easy to define. They were created by the accumulation of countless past times. How could one easily describe the color of those feelings, which were a mixture of countless colors?

There was a friendship that went beyond love. There was a camaraderie that went beyond friendship. There was excitement that went beyond camaraderie. And there was a love that went beyond excitement.

It was a dizzying yet beautiful feeling, like several snakes biting their own tails.

And now there was someone who was trying to arbitrarily add his own colors to the object of those emotions.

“Rosie Nevermore. You’d better step aside while I’m still your sister’s friend.”

“There’s no reason why I should obey your orders…”

“No. But isn’t there a reason to live?”

“Your provocation is vulgar.”

“I have a favor to ask. Just let me be Raoul today. If you can’t do that…”

Camilla whispered in Rosie’s ear in a deathly voice.

“I might kill you right here.”

“…. I am a proper head of a household. You are in a position where you can kill me.”

“Hey, by the way. Why do you think they held the hunting festival? If someone dies, they can pretend it was an accident.”

When Rosie heard that story, she froze.

Although Rogers had talent in martial arts, he could not beat Camilla, who had the best talent and a lot of experience.

Although Roger also tried hard, the heroes, including Camilla, were those who had been perfected since childhood through physical modifications and various drugs in addition to hard work.

“… I’ll leave this aside for today.”

Roger put the knife he was holding back into his sleeve. It was the object he had prepared to threaten Raoul by pointing it at his throat if he refused to tell him the truth.

And Ratri hid and watched the scene, returning the sword he was holding to its scabbard. Seeing that Logie’s sleeve was slightly sticking out, it seemed like the point of following him was gone.

And Raoul, who had sharp ears, heard all of this and sighed quietly.

Now, this conflict just felt tiring. Even the time I wanted to spend purely enjoying myself was now tinged with worry and concern, so that wish had completely gone out the window.

“…. Camilla.”

And to drive out all those obstacles, drastic measures were needed.

I needed to show my fiancée that I had cut all ties with her, and I needed to show my mother that I was no longer a person who was under her thumb.

That’s why he chose Camilla.

“I have something to tell you. It’s about our relationship.”

Raoul communicated with Camilla using hand signals that were used only among close friends during the war.

Camilla, who saw the message asking her to adjust from now on, smiled and responded.

“What’s going on now? My Raoul.”

“Just about what happened last night.”

“Oh, that was awesome.”

The two just trained together for the first time in a long time.

It was clear that it would sound completely different to those who did not know the reality.

“… What if it happens?”

What Camilla was talking about was the scar Raul got when he fell.

This too would surely sound different to those who don’t know the truth.

“Well, that’s…”

For a moment Raoul stopped and turned his head away.

And Camilla also turned her gaze in the same direction with a very distorted face.

“Miss, if you run that fast, you’ll get hurt. If you trip on a tree root and fall…”

“Do I look that stupid?”

Kyle, who had been secretly exchanging weapons with his subordinates and constantly monitoring the hunting grounds, felt annoyed for a moment.

A life that is not even in one’s fortune, guarding hunting grounds, and guarding a reckless noble lady.

I felt like I would feel a hundred times more at ease if I fought on the battlefield.

“… I really can’t eat this.”

Even though he was a life-saver, Kyle couldn’t have imagined this level of exploitation, so he smiled bitterly and lit a cigarette.

Then he tried to light a cigarette to relieve his stress… but Liesel accidentally shot an arrow and broke the cigarette in half that Kyle was holding.

It was fortunate that the cigarette was split, but if the orbit had been slightly off, a disaster could have occurred.

“… Sorry.”

“This was a pole…”

Kyle looked at Lisel, desperately trying to suppress his anger.

Among the handsome men and beauties, she was definitely pretty, had an extraordinary ability to remember everything she saw once, and was clearly an extraordinary woman as the current head of the Berger family.

However, his shortcomings were that he was clueless, had difficulty discerning right from wrong, and was smart but was just a total idiot. In Kyle’s honest opinion, he was just an idiot with a good memory.

If I were to get married, I would absolutely reject a woman like that. A wife’s face may not last long, but her brain lasts a lifetime.

“… I wonder who the young lady will marry in the future.”

On their wedding day, Kyle planned to give his groom a piece of gold and tease him by saying, “Go ahead, you idiot.”

“… This time, I’m definitely going to marry someone you approve of. I won’t make the same mistake again. ”

And Kyle bit his lower lip after hearing that story.

The Empress had told me to keep it a secret, but… it didn’t seem right to hide it any longer from that naive fool.

“That girl… Actually, Raul…”

Kyle, who was about to tell Raul about his condition, also turned his head away as soon as he felt something.

“… Where the hell did the empress go.”

After seeing Raoul and Camilla off, the Emperor decided to console his loneliness by drinking alone.

My partner, the empress, had not been seen since dawn, so I couldn’t help but feel lonely.

It would have been wrong to go tease Raoul while he was enjoying his date, and it was clear that he would be killed by Camilla.

Whenever he had free time, the emperor would play chess with the empress or run full speed in the empress’s wheelchair and get beaten. There was no way he could overcome boredom.

“…… Raoul. Camilla. Penelope.”

The emperor, left alone, gripped the hilt of his greatsword tightly and recited the names of his friends.

“This time, Jim will definitely be watched.”

There was a girl who came to him while he was living like a pig, locked in his room in despair after losing his mother. The girl was now the empress, but was suffering under all kinds of infamy.

There was a guy named Byeok Chang-ho, the first friend I ever had in my life and the person I got along with the most on the battlefield. Byeok Chang-ho gave up everything when he was faced with death.

There was also a stuffy Yeong-ae who liked such a wall window. She had tried to give up her heart after losing her friend who was once her lover, but recently she had been trying to burn everything down.

And there was a kind friend who connected them all. That friend, whom he could not protect, is now buried in the cold ground.

“No matter what happens.”

To do that, there was a separate target that had to be dealt with.

“Must.”

And the emperor also turned his gaze in that direction as soon as he felt something.

“You’re here.”

Raoul, Camilla, Kyle, Emperor Axel, and even Empress Penelope, who was hiding somewhere.

Everyone felt the same thing.

Fear engraved in our instincts.

A threatening killing intent that threatens to touch life.

Fear of death, which can strike anytime, anywhere, or in any way.

I couldn’t help but look at the place where such things were gathered together and there was such an intense presence.

“King of the Ghosts.”

A man wearing ominous armor was walking. The ominous and sinister aura seeping through the gaps in the armor was enough to make me drop.

There was no visible bare skin. It looked like a creature made of metal on top of its body, but there was no trace of the metal’s characteristic shine.

The old armor was worn and scarred, but it was not rusty at all.

As the hand part of the armor moved, an ivory arrow shot out through a gap in the armor.

After the man fired the arrow, he pulled the bowstring tighter and screamed in a murderous voice.

“Dare.”

A reddish aura began to leak out from between the helmet parts of the armor.

To anyone looking, it was clear that the cause of the red aura was anger.

“How dare you…”

It was such a rage that my hands, which had never trembled before when I held the protest, trembled.

“How dare you… the scum of the empire… enjoy hunting on my land…?”

The King of the Ghosts soon calmed his trembling hands with anger and began to calmly check the location of his prey.

There were quite a few unusual prey, including Raoul, Camilla, Axel, and Kyle. But most of them were just trash, no different from livestock.

“I felt a little relieved. To you who haven’t changed at all since those days. No, to you who might have regressed to those days. No… to you who are incompetent on top of that. ”

The king of ghosts aimed his bow at his target.

“For now, let me just say thank you.”

The King of the Wraiths had no idea what the Empire was after.

“You too and me too.”

But what he wanted to do was extremely simple.

“Let’s start hunting.”

Because all I did was shoot all the humans in that disgusting empire.
