episode_0180

I’m not a very broad-minded person, but I’m not so petty that I don’t call something cool.

Clap clap clap, don’t hesitate to clap. Albrecht brushed the hair below his ear with his hand as if he knew that would happen. Maria laughed and asked if there was such a story behind the note in the notebook.

It’s an ingenious solution. Who would have thought that the Eastern Duke family would take advantage of the Asmodeus family, the devil of lust, to prey on the innocent daytime Maria.

It cannot be seen as just a matter of luck; in reality, the demons of the Eastern Dukedom are very lewd. As arrogant as I am. If I were Oscar Asmodeus, my progress with Maria wouldn’t have been at the level of a kiss.

“It’s nothing special, but it’s a lot of fun guessing.”

“It seems so. Your Majesty doesn’t often smile.”

“I’m looking forward to hearing from you. How did a demon from the northern dukedom of the Great Demon Realm fall in love with a saint from the church?”

Albrecht showed us his brilliant deduction, now it’s my turn to tell a fantastic story.

I feel kind of good. Is this situation fun?

Just a little while ago, I hated Albrecht for being such a bother. So much so that I want to just pick off the branches and scatter them around the square.

If it weren’t for Maria, it probably would have happened a long time ago.

But after hearing the reasoning, my mind changed. It’s interesting. To a man named Albrecht.

“Evans, that… .”

Maria seems worried about something. Maria gently pulled my side to stop me from opening my mouth.

“Could we talk separately for a moment…? .”

“Okay. Your Majesty, just wait a moment. Maria said she had something to tell me.”

“What are you talking about? My wife’s business comes first. Saint, do not forget the order.”

“The order is not important. ‘Who’ said it is important. I’m waiting for a moment.”

He looks down on Albrecht, who narrows his eyebrows. He grabbed Maria’s fidgeting wrist and led her to the back of the study.

“Now tell me. Maria, what’s going on?”

“Are you really going to tell the truth? It takes me a little while.”

Maria said, wrapping her hands around mine. I feel a soft warmth.

“Our relationship is not ‘ordinary’, is it? If you go back, you have to go to the last ‘episode’.”

“But the love story was the reward of the mystery. No matter how much I like pranks, I don’t mess around with things like this. Rather, he is truthful when it comes to riddles.”

“7 days at the Tower of Babel, execution in the public square, and then a return of nearly 500 years… You must tell all of that.”

“Is there any reason not to? There is no law that says regression has to be kept secret.”

“Umm… .”

I understand what you are worried about. Albrecht is someone who would be difficult to call an ally.

can not believe it. Moreover, I did not reveal my return to ‘complete allies’ like Aruna and Beatrice, and Albrecht had only been with the unit for a few days. It’s not like they’re comrades in arms who just fought back to back.

However, regression is not always a solution to just hiding.

and… .

“Would that princess accept it if I said I couldn’t tell the truth for some reason?”

“… .”

“I would rather be angry. In the worst case, he might reveal our relationship to the church out of revenge. I took the Empire hostage, but Albrecht knows. As long as Maria holds me back, I will never be able to do that. Because I’ve seen quite a bit of people blindly behaving towards Maria. Just to fit in.”

“I guess so… Well, how about making up a story with some lies?”

Maria raising another way. This is an argument that would have been tempting if the opponent had been someone other than Albrecht.

“Would that work for the princess?”

“Umm… .”

“It’s Albrecht. I found out my birth family in one day using just four family characteristics. Would you fall for the clumsy lies that a woman like that just makes up? It’s not on the same level as Beatrice Constantino or Nioh John.”

Still, I think God is fair. As much as Beatrice and Nioh are strong, Albrecht is weak.

Rather, Maria is an example of incorrect balance distribution. He has full divine power, a strong body, and an excellent brain.

“You don’t know again, do you? I wonder if Albrecht will come up with an interesting idea or inference after hearing our story about regression.”

“A guess?”

“There are things we don’t know either. Will the Demon King really be involved in my return, and who will be his helper in relation to Kronos? If I were to stick to it, I might be able to figure it out, but I don’t have enough time to even be around Maria. Because I like Maria.”

He stuck out his lips and said sweet words. It struck Maria’s moist lips as quickly as lightning. Maria’s cheeks, which had been red for a moment, became even redder.

“Ugh… !”

When I made the excuse that I was doing it because I liked her, Maria could no longer refute it. When we finished kissing, which was passionate for just a split second. Maria just lowered her head and smiled weakly.

“I’m back. Now, I will unpack the bundle of stories your highness wants.”

I returned to my seat and sat down. Albrecht was sitting in the same position as before, motionless.

“When and where did you two first meet? Let’s listen to that first.”

“Do you know the Tower of Babel? I met you there.”

“If it is the Tower of Babel… Isn’t it an ancient building judged by the god himself? It is now used as the worst and largest prison on the continent.”

“That’s right, right there. I was trapped there on the 7th floor underground. It’s a terribly stuffy prison where your lungs get hot every time you take a breath.”

“Haha, look at this guy.”

Albrecht interrupted me. With a laughable smile.

“My wife told me to tell the truth. How can you talk about random things?”

“It’s true.”

“You were a prisoner in Tartarus, on the 7th floor of the Tower of Babel? Aren’t the prisoners there enormous tycoons who make a big impact in the world just by being imprisoned and being released?”

“That’s right. But I have never been released from prison. He was executed. Here with Maria.”

He smiled brightly and continued speaking. Albrecht’s face, which was about to ask something sharply, stiffened as he sensed something.

“… It’s not a lie.”

“Haha.”

“Just keep trying. I have to listen to you until the end.”

“Good. He is lying dead in prison waiting for his execution date… One day, a new prisoner came in. She was wearing a dark-colored nun’s habit, but her hair was pure white. He was gaunt overall, had a thin chin, and his clothes were full of dirt, but strangely, there was a nobleness and nobility in his appearance. Yes, that’s right. It’s Saint Mary. With a bloody bandage over his eye.”

“I was overpowered by the devil and imprisoned in Tartarus, and Maria was defeated by three devil peacocks and imprisoned in the Tower of Babel. Marian and I were imprisoned on the 7th floor because we were the ones who could control the fate of the continent without any room for refutation. The world was occupied by the devil’s army.”

“Phew… Stop for a moment. Let me ask you just one question.”

Whenever I asked him to continue speaking, Albrecht quickly cut me off.

“When is that time?”

“It was the year 712 of the imperial calendar.”

“It’s the 701st year of the imperial calendar?”

“That’s right. What kind of harmony is this? Have the clock hands turned back? Ahahahaha!”

He frowned warmly. The blonde girl’s eyebrows became narrower as if in contrast.

“Anyway, Maria and I became cellmates. We spent a week together in Tartarus. Why a week, because at the end of that week, Maria and I were executed in the Imperial Square.”

“Don’t ask why the Empire executed us. Because I just said that the Demon King’s army trampled the continent.”

“During the week, several military officials came to visit. Traitor Vincent, Holy Emperor Julius, Demon Duke Lilith, Hero Frey, Demon King Kanos. And many other people came. In the way Maria treated them, I saw aspects that I could not understand.”

“Thanks to you, I fell in love! Honestly, Maria’s appearance back then was so captivating that anyone could fall in love with it. What a way to steadfastly follow the light even in the dark! Actually, I didn’t know that I was falling in love with her. Even when I dreamed of Maria, I stubbornly refused.”

“I realized it only after I stood on the guillotine.”

Afterwards, he raised his hand like a blade and pretended to use the protruding knuckles of his fingers. Albrecht swallowed his sleep.

I don’t think it’s a story of a size that even Albrecht can easily understand.

“So… To summarize.”

“Oh, did you understand in the first Q? I thought I would have to explain it two or three times.”

“Are you saying that you two came from the future?”

Pisik-.

A meaningless question. I can’t help but laugh. It is an understanding that can only be admired.

“You need to know that. Surprisingly, it was Maria who confessed first?”

“Evans… I am ashamed.”

“On the last night, with a dying voice… ah! I should have recorded that confession! Maria, after dealing with the Demon King this episode, would you like to be imprisoned in Tartarus again? Just the two of us!”

“Don’t even dream. I don’t try to live only by seeing the good things, but I don’t necessarily want to go into that dangerous place on my own.”
