episode_0517

I have no intention of condoning hallucinations.

However, sin is something that must be accepted while being sane.

Viscount Antonio headed straight to the throne room.

I turned back and headed to the room.

“Do you plan to forgive them?”

It was Hermann.

He was leaning against the wall and staring at me.

“No.”

“Why are you saying useless things?”

“As someone who loves me, I feel sorry for you.”

Hermann looks dumbfounded.

“···You are so cruel.”

“Janjeong is the last consideration I can give you.”

Hermann snorts and stands upright.

“James did the same. One day, he shot an arrow next to the head of an enemy general who ordered him to be killed. And then I said. You’re dead, so shut up now.”

“Who would want to kill someone?”

Hermann looks like he doesn’t understand what I’m saying.

‘Was this person like that too?’

If you capture the enemy general, you will receive rewards and honor.

Therefore, for some soldiers, capturing an enemy commander is like a medal.

However, it seems that Hermann was mistaken because he said he was tired of the nuance of the words.

“···It seems like your world is not normal either.”

We roughly agreed.

“Yes. Our world was also a continuation of war.”

The sign Herman was holding comes to mind.

Anyone who would tell me such vulgar things would have been close to Hermann.

“What did James say about his world?”

“They say everyone rides in an iron carriage in silence.”

It seems like he’s talking about a car.

‘Was it a modern person?’

However, Hermann seems to want to hear stories about a world crazy about war.

“Our world is overrun with war-mad people.”

“They even made a bomb that could blow up an entire country.”

Hermann, who was walking next to me, glances at me.

It’s about looking at long-term homes.

Hermann, who realized that what I said was not a lie, looked away.

” Those caught up in the explosion evaporated, leaving only charcoal like cotton on fire, the city burned, and the river boiled.”

But nuclear weapons were not necessarily bad.

“Countries were terrified, and everyone started making those bombs.”

“So, was it destroyed?”

“No. People became humble because they were afraid of each other’s bombs.”

“······.”

At least it delayed the war.

Of course, not everyone became humble, but in general, they became humble.

“In the meantime, I had time to look back on the war. What tragedies have occurred in the past, why they occurred, and how many people died.”

As a result, the world has become one where the madness of war is no longer supported.

That’s the only difference between Hermann and me.

For knights and commanders, war may be a good place to gain achievements, but for me and Jules, it is just a place full of grief and resentment.

“···Funny. I can’t attack because I’m afraid of the other person’s weapon.”

“That’s why servants like us shouldn’t stand on top of people.”

“Okay. That is correct.”

Hermann laughed heartily.

“At one time, the smell of blood would not go away from my body.”

Hermann must have had times like that too.

To begin with, Lomaria was the land of indigenous people.

“Do you know? A hosot or terup can identify an individual by the smell of blood.”

“To them, I was a murderer who killed countless people.”

” Not only that, but even animals and seawater noticed me.”

“At that time, neither Hosot nor Terub could meet my eyes.”

Because he looked like a murderer rather than a human being.

At that time, even the village people were afraid of me.

“The inferior saint gave me a body odor so strong that the bloody smell disappeared.”

“Hosot or Terup’s favorite scent.”

The meat-eating demons were excited and started running towards them.

And that was the problem.

” As the saint intended, people treated me comfortably.”

“I liked the change, but sometimes there were people who attacked me.”

“In other words, peace, respect, and courtesy come from fear.”

Hermann still didn’t seem to understand.

“But why do you have affection for your enemy?”

I have no enemies.

Because we do not tolerate the existence of ‘enemies’.

My kindness is simply part of a two-pronged tactic.

“Do you really think I have affection for them?”

“······.”

Hermann looked like he had finally realized what I meant.

I guess he thought there was some reason why I saved him.

‘That was all I told you at that time.’

When Hermann cuts off the hallucination’s head, our relationship is over.

Either be executed by the prince or live and wander the world.

“···I see.”

“It is the truth of life. You have to be careful with kind people.”

They may be kind people, but they may also be people who hold a knife like me.

“···Really?”

“······!”

The sudden voice made my hair tingle.

The sight of Anne looking at me awkwardly takes my breath away.

“···I’ll go first.”

“Then what did Lee want from you when he approached me?”

Hermann began to run away at a fast pace.

Without even helping!

“···Anne. There is some misunderstanding. The conversation between Sir Hermann and I was to explain why I was kind to my enemies, and wasn’t Anne my enemy? Isn’t that right? Furthermore, have I ever asked or asked Anne for anything?”

“Me too, duduhuhuheu──!You got it hoho─··· Kyahahaha~?!”

Anne collapsed and giggled.

It even brings tears to my eyes.

‘This bitch?’

Anne stood up with a bounce.

The body is light. It’s like being on the moon by yourself.

“If you stay like that for a long time, won’t it be difficult?”

“It used to be like that, but it’s okay now.”

Anne was never brainwashed by the Grand Duchess, but Isabelle herself created resistance in her mind.

But it wasn’t a good idea to show up.

Because Anne is just an ordinary person.

“Would you please come and hear what Viscount Antonio is saying?”

“Yes. Is there anything else you want to order?”

“That’s enough.”

“Then I’ll come back quickly!”

Anne jumped off my back and walked towards the throne room with light steps.

* * * * * *

“In other words, the nobles want Isabel to abdicate the throne?”

“Yes. They asked the prince with the right to succeed to the throne to abdicate.”

‘You aimed wrong.’

It seems like what they were hoping for was a feud between the royal families, but unfortunately, that doesn’t happen.

“What did Isabelle say?”

[I told them to remove the brainwashing and go away.]

The voice carried by the wind was full of loud noise.

It seemed like he was under pressure from the nobles and royal family within the castle.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

[······It’s difficult. I just want to hit them all.]

“We will relieve your fatigue at night.”

[The time given by the nobles is one week.]

‘Bullshit.’

In the battle of great forces that surpass the law, there is no trick like a promise of time.

“It will definitely arrive within four days.”

[I think it’s tomorrow.]

That’s impossible.

Because weapons are not something that can be made in such a short period of time.

“Why do you think so?”

[It’s intuition.]

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but if it’s this person, it’s like that.

Because he is a warlord who fought in war for 200 years.

“Have you requested support from the Drekkar Alliance?”

[yes. But they say you should take care of what happens within the country?]

“That’s a good answer. We will prepare soon.”

As a result, Habstenburg had a reasonable excuse to abandon the Dreckar alliance.

“You had a hard time.”

“It’s a separate thing.”

Anne hung around my neck.

Thanks to the control of gravity, it looked like a flowing cloak.

‘Now it’s up to you to do it.’

Shir was sprawled out on the sofa, looking at me like his mother.

It seemed like the only genes from my father were hair color.

“Shall we go together?”

“No. It’s enough alone.”

“······That’s why you look just like your mom.”

Shir’s tail swelled.

The golden eyes glared at me venomously.

“Don’t talk like you’re my dad.”

Shir stands up and stretches.

“If Isabel says it’s tomorrow, surprise attacks never happen under the sun.”

That is, it comes between midnight and dawn today.

“Okay. I’ll prepare.”

“Let’s go out together.”

“I told you not to follow me.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Sorry? okay. Try to stay awake with your eyes open and be sorry.”

Shir raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“Because I did the same.”

After leaving his last words, Shir leisurely headed towards the gates of Gestier.

I followed behind him leisurely.

“I told you not to follow me.”

“I’ll just watch.”

“For what?”

“Isn’t the most fun thing in the world watching a fight with Bulkyung?”

I walked leisurely with Shir.

The empty castle walls under the moonlight were very atmospheric.

“Do you remember the day I ended up in an animal cage in the wild people’s territory?”

“Why?”

“You must have been exhausted, but you came inside the cage and slept with me.”

Shir glanced at me.

“What were you thinking?”

“···If you suddenly ask me a story from 20 years ago, do you think it will come to mind?”

“Yes.”

The kid who was bigger than me was holding me out as a shield as if he was eating.

Clinging to me every day.

But what am I like now?

I walked out awkwardly, holding the back of Shir, who was smaller than me.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“Things you did to me when I was little.”

I think I know it now.

Why did Shir sleep in the animal cage with me?

Shir completely carried me.

It was an ugly posture, but not bad.

Soon we were sitting on the castle wall with our legs crossed.

“I wanted to be perfect for you.”

“···Really?”

“But nothing is perfect in this world.”

I held Shir tightly and waved my legs.

“So even when good options appeared, I ignored them or ignored them and overdid it.”

“But?”

“Don’t try to be perfect for me.”

“Why?”

“Because there’s nothing I can do.”

“···You did that too.”

It’s a tone of resentment.

Shir still leans against me comfortably.

I looked up at the moon while holding Shir.

“You were young back then, but now we are the same age.”

“But?”

“So, when you become useless, you become depressed and intimidated.”

“So you like older people? I only date older women.”

“It’s not like that, but it happened like that.”

“Then die once more. Make me older.”

Soak~~!

A burning pain arose in my chest.

An arrow flew from far away and pierced Shir and me at the same time.

‘For some reason, there were no guards on the castle walls.’

“Huh?”

“Ugh…! I’m really dying…! Knock!”

I fell down with Shir and fell down the castle wall.

On the other hand, it was realistic acting.

Ujijik!

The arrow that connected us broke and fell.

Shir, who has fallen down the castle wall, is unable to come to his senses and looks around.

Then, when it spotted me, it ran at me like a flagship.

“···Si, Sihyeon?!”

“The scouts are coming, so be quiet.”

“What?”

“Pretending to be dead. Then they’ll think it’s a corpse and come to get rid of it.”

Only then did Shir also lie awkwardly on the floor.

Because the trees were in full bloom under the walls, they couldn’t see us from the sniping point.

The guy who shot it is also a great guy.

‘I never thought I’d shoot down a couple who was hugging each other while looking at the moon.’

A bastard without blood or tears.

How much time has passed since I was dead?

“······Wasn’t that just an ordinary person?”

“What should I do? The viewer is in a bad mood, so we hug and look at the moon on a moonlit night.”

“Why do you feel bad? Have you ever looked at the moon?”

“Okay, check your pockets.”

The scouts are rummaging through my pockets.

He searched his pockets persistently and eventually pulled out his pocket watch and will.

The other guy…

“···Hey. Isn’t this girl pretty?”

“······.”

They were groping Shir’s body.

“Oh…! Is that so?”

‘These bastards?’

I was thinking of playing the old convenience soldier again, but I couldn’t do it.

I got up and kicked the skirmisher who was groping Shir in the face.

Phew! Wow!

A single psychological kick crushes the skull and neck bones.

Shir stood up, tightening the other guy’s neck as if he had been waiting.

“What?!”

The eyes scan the man with a broken head and neck bones.

Soon his golden eyes tilted and he looked at me.

“···Are you really jealous?”

“······.”

“To the point of killing me just for touching my body?”

“Okay, just bring him.”

It was the first night in a long time that made me feel alive.
