Princess Maev looks at Elastine and Cassandra with a cold expression.

As she watched them make excuses for her, Princess Maeb spoke in a quiet yet chilling voice.

“This is all… all of this for me… you say? Okay… can you explain that part in more detail?”

“That..That’s..”

They were momentarily speechless at Princess Maeb’s words.

In reality, this incident had nothing to do with Princess Maeb, so at this moment, the two of them began to frantically try to come up with an excuse.

“That.. So.. I thought.. if I kill that mother of Elios.. it would help the princess too.”

“That’s right! Isn’t Elios the princess’s enemy anyway? If I can strike that arrogant woman by killing her enemy’s mother…”

“..sigh..”

Princess Maeb sighs deeply at the random noises that were thrown around.

Then she slowly… lowered her posture and looked at the two juniors who had sworn loyalty to her.

“So.. whatever the reason is.. you guys did this for me, right? ”

“Yes! Mo..Everything is for the princess..”

Elastine nodded with tears streaming down her face at Maev’s words.

Looking at her like this, Princess Maeb had a quiet smile on her lips.

however..

The feelings contained within it are not things like understanding or comfort…

Elastine could feel that there was only cold cynicism.

“I see.. You guys did this for me after all.. But you know, Elastine. Do you know what it’s called when you do something without even looking at it, even though your master didn’t order you to do it?”

“n..Huh?.. That.. That’s..”

Elastine, unable to respond to Princess Maeb’s words with a trembling voice.

Looking at her like that, Maev threw down a knife as if he was picking it up.

He spoke in a voice that was incredibly clear.

“Betrayal. Doing something that could be dangerous to your master on someone else’s orders. That’s what betrayal is.”

“Ah..ah..”

With those words, Princess Maeb slowly got up from her seat.

As they heard her words, deep despair began to creep into Elastine and Cassandra’s faces.

A deep, deep frustration enveloped them, even more so than the moment they had just felt death coming.

And, looking at their appearance, Princess Maeb struck the final blow with an indifferent voice.

“And, we call those who betrayed like that. Traitors. ”

“Ah..Ahhhh!”

“Eww!!”

The two people bow their heads and start screaming at Princess Maeb’s words.

The emotion they were feeling at this moment was not simply that they were facing the crisis of death, but rather that they felt as if their entire life had been denied.

Despair, frustration, pain, fear, and tears.

To hear someone who had pledged loyalty to them all their lives being called a traitor was a pain so terrible to them.

Caught up in such emotions, the two of them bowed their heads in front of Princess Maeb and began to beg, as if the resolve to throw away their lives just a moment ago was meaningless.

“Ughhh! Huh.. Princess! We.. We.. We were wrong! Please.. Please forgive us, Princess!”

“Never! I never intended to betray you, Princess! Sob, sob… Please, just once! Just once! Please have mercy! Princess!”

Two people begging for forgiveness, looking more desperate than begging for their lives

And… looking at those two people, Princess Maeb spoke in a cold voice.

“Of course.. It breaks my heart to see this happen. Even more so when I think of all the dedication you’ve shown me so far.”

“Ugh..ugh..”

“Sob..sob..”

Princess Maeb, who spoke kindly with her mouth, but her tone and expression were not at all like that.

Then, she looked at the two people and said a word.

“But Elastine… isn’t she a traitor?”

With those words, Princess Maeb slowly released magical power from her body.

At her appearance, the two of them began to tremble, almost fainting.

“And in my dictionary. There is no such thing as forgiveness for a traitor.”

With those words, the magical power that poured out from Princess Maeb’s body covered the two people.

“Eeeek!!!!!”

Countless thorns shoot out from the ground in an instant.

They completely covered the two people’s bodies.

and..

“Pak!”

“Dismissed!”

Streams of blood spurting out from between the thorn trees.

Leaving them behind, Princess Maev turned around absentmindedly and headed towards where Zeros and Katlena were.

“Did you kill him?”

Katlena asked cautiously, with some concern.

Princess Maeb then spoke to her with a slight smile.

“No way, you only knocked him out. Of course… he should be punished severely for committing such a terrible act.”

“First of all, the mother said that since they are still young children who don’t know anything, they shouldn’t be treated too harshly. She said to give them enough trauma so that they realize what they did and never do something like that again.”

“I know what you mean. But first, thank you. No matter what, I should be grateful that you left the disposal of those kids to me.”

If they were brought to court like this, not only they but also their entire family would be beheaded.

It may seem cruel, but that is the nature of things associated with political struggle.

It was a very natural thing in this world that defeat meant death and failure meant hell.

However, Duchess Rosetta decided to show some special mercy in this regard.

No matter how unforgivable the act was, the victims were still young girls.

From their point of view, it was a consideration that they could not disobey the orders given by Saladin, the prime minister of the empire, against their will.

Even if it wasn’t forgiveness, it could be said that this minimal act of mercy on her part was what prevented the merciless bloodshed from blowing.

“Okay then.. Now that work is done, let’s go back..!?”

-bang!-

The next moment, a sudden loud noise and tremendous vibration are heard.

At this, deep embarrassment began to appear on the faces of Katlena, Zeros, and Maev in an instant.

“What.. What is this? What the heck..”

“No way..”

They look out the window towards the direction where the unexpected sound is heard.

At that moment, a scene they had never seen before in their lives began to enter the eyes of the three people.

“What the heck is that?”

“A monster?”

“Ah..no that’s..”

What you see before your eyes is a gigantic entity that has blown up half of the building and is running wild with fearsome momentum.

It looked to be at least 150 meters in size, and its entire body seemed to glow endlessly like a blazing flame. It had an extremely horrifying appearance, like a twisted dragon.

A pair of huge wings, and a body covered in long, smooth scales like a snake.

Two huge, terrifying looking arms reminiscent of the devil’s hands.

Eyes that resemble distorted suns and huge teeth that seem capable of chewing and crushing anything.

And… an aura of terrifying power that feels tingly despite the distance.

The faces of the three people began to turn red with shock at the sudden appearance of this monster.

But at this moment.

Even while feeling surprised, only one person.

Only Zero could tell who it was.

A being with this appearance…

He is the only reader of the original work.

Because I knew.

“Rosebetta..”

“..what?”

“What.. what.. are you talking about? Who.. is that.. that monster?”

“..That’s..I only know it from stories..but I think it’s probably right.”

Zeros speaks with a bit of confusion.

However, despite his words, Katlena could not believe the situation she was seeing before her eyes.

‘That monster… Mother…? I had no idea… I heard it was strong, but I didn’t know it was this strong.’
