Chapter 185.

Ikris’ eyes widened at the familiar address he hadn’t heard in a while. He visibly shook and shook his head.
“…… Ah, no. That’s not me …….”
“Your people are alive and waiting for you everywhere. A warrior does not cowardly avoid war.”
The moment Ibn’s whisper ended, the brilliant light of the Cojuangdelman swept across Ikris’s eyes.
But in reality, before his eyes, a piece of mirror emanating blue light was pushed away. The teeth of Ikris’s eyes slowly grew dim.
Although he was the king’s illegitimate son, he was not discriminated against. On the contrary, unlike his other brothers, he didn’t have to be bothered by heavy work and was free to grow up.
The vast earth, the blue recordings, the beautiful grasslands the boundless homeland. When all this was trampled by the feet of the Imperials, his father and brothers erased his name from the family tree, disguised as a slave.
Thus carrying the filthy life of his family and the people of his homeland on his back to survive. He himself was not a royal family now, he was a lowly slave. But now that he was here, how did he flip that name again.
“Like you said, it’s over now, Ikris. If it wasn’t for this …… time I could never have Penelope again.” Iben looked back pleadingly.
“Go to the North. Go and reach out to the rebels. Kill the crown prince and become master of the empire.”
“…… The master wants no such thing.”
Perhaps because the relic was incomplete, the prey resisted weakly. But the blue color emanating from the relic obscured his eyes, and the dank desire surged through him again. Iben patiently repeated the same words many times.
“Penelope wants a life of ease.”
“A life of comfort ……”
“Not the seat of a dauphin that the Duke’s family puts out for two daughters out of the Dauphin’s seat. Do you think she can afford that dangerous position?”
The blue light from the shards of the mirror gradually intensified.
‘Does Penelope want the Dauphin’s seat?’ Iben’s question made Ikris think for a moment. If she wanted it, he could kill the Crown Prince and take the throne, or he could let him have it. But the master he knew didn’t exactly see that as the goal. Ibn continued in a low voice.
“You could have prevented her from being unfortunate. Is that right?”
“…… She is to be happy. In the Duke’s house, for those people are sad …… every day.”
“Then do as I say, Ikris.”
At last, Ikris’ looked up and nodded. It was after fully occupying his blue-gray pupils. Looking at him like this, Iben gritted his teeth. The plan to take the shard out failed due to the haphazardly fiddled prey, trying to keep it out of sight from those within the Duke.
“I thought it would be easier to take out …… than in the past.”
What the hell happened without me, nothing was easy. Unbelievable, the whole thing has changed.
False eunuchs using powerful ancient magic and prey rarely tied to the cobwebs I put in place. They somehow, one by one, wooed Penelope, and worse, she took pieces of me like rats. You must have recognized me.
That day, the day the island fell. Because of the peeling mask, facing the eyes, the woman clearly saw herself. Identified herself as well.
“Know it all, lovely ……”
Frantic anxiety surged at the thought of Penelope, who was acting as if nothing had happened. There was no time. The foolish prey that was desperate for not being loved by Penelope was drenched.
…Now, one can only act personally.”
“Hey ……”
I slowly lowered the hand covering my mouth. The end of the shard in my tight grip dug right into my flesh, but my frozen body couldn’t feel any pain. Where I was, it was right next to the cellar. There was a warehouse, outside the outer wall of the building that Ikris reached out to touch. After thoroughly perusing the surrounding area in order to remove the jumbled pieces of stone, I didn’t think that would help. The last time I saw the scene of Ibn brainwashing Ikris, my judgment was that went that way. I left a thin wall to eavesdrop on their conversation, and left there long after the commotion had disappeared.
“Ah, Miss!”
Straight back to my room, I was greeted by Emily, who had just finished cleaning.
“Why did you come back so late …… day ah! Miss, what’s wrong? It’s bleeding!”
“Emily.” I stop and order her.
“Go get a hammer.”
“Yeah? Ha, but start healing …….”
“Go get the hammer.” “That, I’ll be right back!”
Wide-eyed and hyperventilating, she left the room, panting. It was only then that I spread my hands and threw the pieces I was holding onto the floor.
Hiss – the palms of my hands hurt from being torn to shreds. But fear preceded him. The heroine, no, the monster, was looking for the shard. Moreover, it knew every move I made.
“It must be removed quickly!” Luckily, Emily came right back with a sledgehammer.
“Miss! Brought it for you. But why is the hammer …….”
“It’s dangerous, please stand down.”
Holding the hammer almost like a snatch, I immediately raised it high in the air. Then struck it down hard towards the mirror shard I threw on the ground.
Glowwing, Quaang-!” Miss, ah!”
Suddenly seeing me who smashed towards the floor, Emily screamed in shock. But I didn’t stop.
Clang, clang, clang, clang″! Swinging the hammer frantically with the air of dry grinding mirror shards into powder.
Clunk -! Probably hitting it wrong, the mirror shards splattered into mid-air and then scattered on the ground.
“Heh, heh.!” Finding not a single shard, intact, I put a twist.
“This is crazy! What kind of steel is the mirror made of!”
Tired of fear and dread, I threw the hammer to the ground.
Flop!” Miss, my, please calm down! Calm down, hands ……!”
Emily winced and retained me. The palm of her hand was a sticky mess. A few streams of blood ran down the hand. And forget about the cost of being cut by debris and hammered with that hand.
“…… Emily.”
“Yes?”
I took a deep breath and tried to regain my composure.
“I have to go run some errands now.”
“Yeah? What ……”
“Take that and go up to the White Rabbit. Try not to meet up with anyone.” I glanced at the shard that had fallen to the floor. Emily quickly moved her body and picked up the one that had fallen to the ground.
“Go on, tell them to keep it in a safe place no one knows about. Until I go looking for it.”
The fire wouldn’t burn it, and hitting it with a hammer wouldn’t break it. Any way you want to think about it, you’ll just have to get it out of the mansion right away.
“Yes! I will, ma’am!” “
And then, one more.”
To Emily, who nodded faithfully, I gave another instruction.
“During the night, please tell me to perform what I was entrusted to do one more time.”
“Yes, I will never forget, I will turn!”
“Yeah, go carefully.”
Probably having done the same thing a few times, Emily hurriedly left the room without asking anything. Looking at the back of the maid who was completely unaware that it was the maid who commissioned me to erase my memories, I immediately clenched my molars. I have to get out of here immediately.

“Miss, I’m back!”
That night, Emily returned after completing the task I gave her.
“Went without meeting with anyone, right?”
“Yes. I told you everything Miss said. It says to keep the answers safe.”
“Hard work.”
“Hard work! Is your hand healing well?”
She looked at the bandage wrapped around my hand with a regretful expression. I asked bluntly.
“But Emily, did I convey what I wanted to convey well?”
“Yes? What is it?”
As if completely unaware, there was no lie in the round eyes. Intuition told me that Winter had only erased the memories associated with the shard from Emily.
“No, it’s nothing. I seem to have gotten it wrong.” Now all that’s left is “when to escape.”

Day Two.
Having been up all night, tossing and turning, I left the room from the early hours of the morning. Frightened by my sudden disappearance, I piled pillows in the quilt for Emily’s sake, making a bulge. It looked like it was still sleeping.
The ducal mansion, where the sad and happy dawn fell, was eerily silent. In the cool of the morning, I swam in the dew and walked the forest path leading to the Smoke Arms. It was also time for the training knights to get up before they did, and the woods felt eerie in broad daylight compared to that running ground.
I moved my feet diligently. Escaping was basically just making sure to escape. The dog hole was a long time ago and the location needed to be reconfirmed. By the way, with my hair cooled, I walked slowly, not realizing I was in familiar terrain. But the memory doesn’t seem to have diminished or declined after taking the poison.
Praising the brain that still works, I quickly headed that way. Remembering the features left in my memory among several similar water plants, I found the camouflaged bush that covered the dog hole. It was the time to push it aside and lean over.
“What.”
There was clearly no opening for anything. It was just blocking the end of a wide field, that’s all.
“Wasn’t it in the bushes?” My blank face alternated between looking at the bush I’d pushed through and the wall without a single gap. Wasn’t the location here?
Possibly more to the side, I crouched down and began to carefully search under the wall. However, while rummaging around in the bushes, no holes appeared to be drilled.
I grunted with a serious face.
“Why no. Where did it go?”
“The naughty boy isn’t there now.”
“Then where are you?”
“You know what that thing does?”
“That, of course, is ……”
To escape ……. Unintentionally answered I suddenly closed my mouth. The cheap feeling rode over the bones behind me and drove over.
“Did ……”
It was time to deny reality and slowly turn my head. The pink hair that I was afraid would appear in my dreams stood behind me grinning like a ghost.
“Sure, what?”
“Aha!”
