“You’re going to die?”
“God’s ability is no different from the life force of the Elyos and Demons. By reducing that life force, they exist as humans.”
The story White told contained shocking facts that were unimaginable.
When I couldn’t answer and frowned, White let out a short sigh.
“Why does Duke Brudel do such a thing?”
“That’s banned.”
“Those damn restrictions.”
No, you act like you’ll tell me everything, but then why are you suddenly banned from such an important fact?
White said while quietly looking at my nervous expression.
“Don’t you already know?”
“Duke Brudel wants to destroy the human world, right?”
White nodded quietly.
“Yeah, I know that, but I don’t understand why you would do that.”
“that.”
“I understand. It’s banned. Find out more.”
Anyway, it doesn’t help.
I nervously pulled out my hair.
“Anyway, you are the problem, you!”
“Can’t you see I just gave you all kinds of information? Huh?”
“Why did the Demon King’s army invade at that time and make Lariette so wary of you? No, how should I explain this to Lariette?”
White stared at me for a moment.
“Anyway, do your best, Elena Seves. You seem to be quite capable of more than I expected.”
“Could you please stop saying it in such an acknowledging way? I don’t want to be acknowledged by you.”
“anyway.”
As I was quietly looking at White, who was grumbling, I tilted my head when a thought occurred to me.
“But then you die too?”
“Why am I dying?”
“You also appeared like this and came to see me.”
“I’m not like that….”
As I watched White cover his mouth again after saying that, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
‘I’m a human who can use Klaus’ godly power by making a wish, right?’
Then maybe… … .
“hey.”
“what.”
“Did you appear next to me because I made a wish? Did you transform into a bird because I thought a demon lord would come out of a bird egg?”
White held his breath for a moment. And soon she screamed sharply.
“Yes! You had to be trapped in a bird’s egg for a while because you made such a crazy wish!”
No, what is it?
I thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be the real devil!
This is the devil!
“Hey! I didn’t know the Demon King could be as insignificant as you!”
“What? I’m going! Just say ‘Demon King, please help me’ later!”
“I’d rather have sex than cum on you!”
“You’ve already changed the name into a set!”
“anyway!”
The devil I thought of was not a fluffy-looking child like White!
What I thought was a great king of the demon race, with black hair and purple eyes flowing gracefully, smiling languidly!
‘Oh, come to think of it, White’s hair is white too.’
Rather, Duke Brudel, an Elyos, has black hair.
“Uhm….”
I was lost in thought for a moment as I watched White disappearing.
My mind was complicated.
“Something happened in the room earlier.”
Klaus whispered to me as I finished eating and was enjoying tea time.
‘Oh, did you notice?’
Well, Klaus is free from the power of demons and elyos, just like the last time he was with Duke Brudel.
I simply understood and nodded.
“The demon has come to visit.”
“Didn’t you say he was a man? Why does he keep coming to the bedroom?”
“I heard it’s comfortable because it’s just the two of us.”
“……It’s even weirder.”
Klaus’ expression became even more grim.
At this point, I was about to create a demon lord summoning circle and challenge White to a duel, so I hastily stopped Klaus.
“I always talk about the relationship between the Elyos and the Demons. Don’t misunderstand.”
With that said, I gave a brief summary of what I had heard from White.
In particular, Klaus seemed very surprised to hear that Duke Bruedel was terminally ill.
“……I don’t know what Duke Bruedel is thinking.”
“Of course, this could all be White’s lie.”
“When I look at the past I know and when I look at Duke Brudel’s movements, the demon’s words are more credible.”
Klaus sighed lightly.
“……Anyway, I can’t be sure right now, so I have to deal with what’s at hand right now.”
“We’ll have to go directly to the Western Guard, right?”
“Well, I’m not sure if the security will react positively to an outsider visiting.”
Klaus shrugged his shoulders as if he was troubled.
“Well, those people are trying to start a rebellion, but if His Highness comes to visit, they will be embarrassed.”
“Is it better to enter while hiding your identity?”
“Or how about looking for my friend first?”
“……Yes. I said that Yeong-e has a ‘male friend’ in the Western Guard.”
For some reason, Klaus said that in an unpleasant tone.
Ah, seeing this reaction makes me think of yesterday’s worries again.
‘Come to your senses, it’s me!’
I slapped my cheek and opened my eyes wide.
“Then, as I briefly talked about yesterday, let’s go out to the village and inspect it. I’ll also see if I can contact my friend Hamel.”
“I will look into Sir Hamel of the Western Guard separately. My lady, you should prepare to inspect the village first.”
“……Well, yes.”
I nodded because I didn’t think there was any need for me to insist that I would work any more, but I felt strange for some reason.
‘Hmm, isn’t this jealousy?’
yes. Maybe it’s not jealousy.
“……majesty.”
“why?”
But the tips of your ears still seem red?
Isn’t this blush? Isn’t it a bit embarrassing?
It was a time when I was wondering whether I should ask Klaus a question again.
“Count Golterror Belen, Yeongsik! Please meet me today!”
Outside the window I opened to smell the fragrant grass, I heard a loud voice coming from the danjeon.
I saw the maids who had been waiting on me looking at us and the window in confusion.
“Golterror! If this continues, all the guards will die! Please meet me once and see my face!”
“……This has something to do with the security guard, right?”
“Do you think so?”
Klaus and I left the tea room without saying who would go first.
At the entrance, a man was arguing with Count Belen’s guards.
“So, I can’t meet you today because you’re sick!”
“Then, please at least make an appointment to see us again in the future! We’ve been coming here for ten days already!”
“I understand how you feel, but you said you don’t want to see anyone right now. There are guests inside, so please be quiet….”
As I approached the man who was arguing, I froze in my seat.
“……Hamel?”
The man who turned around at the sound of my voice also covered his mouth in surprise.
“Elena?”
Meanwhile, Klaus twitched his lips with wide eyes.
“……I met you.”
Me, Hamel, and Klaus left Count Belen’s house and entered a small bar in the nearby market.
The bar owner, who had been shouting that he did not sell alcohol during the day, looked at Hamel’s face and gave him a seat, telling him to drink in peace.
Klaus, who had insisted on coming even though we said there was no need to come, was looking at the two of us with his arms crossed as if he was dissatisfied.
No, Your Highness. Why are you suddenly acting like this?
“It’s been a while, Hamel. How have you been?”
“Haha, Elena. I’m embarrassed to show myself like this in front of you. Well, I’ve always shown it…”
Did you do that?
I, who had no childhood memories with Hamel, smiled awkwardly.
Hamel didn’t look much different from when he kicked me in the past.
‘If I had to be honest, I think the outfit would have become a bit more shabby.’
Come to think of it, Hamel was clearly the son of a viscount.
The family’s power was weak, but since it was a family with long traditions, everything they wore and ate was of a high standard.
But how come you’re dressed so shabby?
“……Is the guard’s life very difficult because of Count Belen, the Golterrorist?”
“Ahaha. I can’t hide anything from Elena.”
“……Elena?”
Klaus, who was sitting next to him, muttered darkly.
I gave Klaus his attention by lightly stepping on the top of his foot with one foot.
Fortunately, Hamel was oblivious, so he didn’t notice the abnormal airflow and nodded slowly.
“It’s a shame, but it’s the truth.”
“Since when did this happen?”
“When I came, the situation was already bad.”
Hamel said with a bitter smile.
“Count Belen believes that the guards are wasting money without doing anything. So he cut their wages too severely.”
“oh my god.”
They cut my salary!
For me, who comes from a capitalist society, there has never been a story as terrible as this.
“Of course, from someone’s perspective, it may seem like the security guard is wasting money while doing nothing most of the time. But we, the security guard, think our work is important and take pride in it.”
“Yeah. I know.”
“So, whenever I had time, I went to Count Yeongsik of Belen and asked for help. He asked me to listen to our story again, just once. But… it was difficult.”
I once again remembered the image of Golterror Velen last night.
It didn’t seem like that alcohol-drinking bastard would know anything and act properly.
“The guards were having a hard time, so I had no choice but to tell my father and share my personal finances to help run the guard.”
“I stole your personal belongings?”
“But in the end, even that has its limits. I should have had more money.”
Hamel shrugged his shoulders. It was heartbreaking to see her lose energy.
