A+ A- Turn Off Light

Plop-plop-plop-plop!

Multi-star explosions rang out at the same time. This was due to the sudden fall from the air.

“Bang, bang!”

“Ahhhh!”

The demons that were deep in the slimy pool of mud, fell on the demons, were ejected, and the humans that did nothing turned the swamp into Asurajang in an instant. Delman County floundered again with a panicked look.

“Clip, clip, clip!”

But the stems of the mangroves not only crashed down, they made a terrible noise and began to drag their bent prey into the swamp.

The Delmans drew their knives and cut down the raging trunks that dragged the fiends. But the blade was terrible in the atmosphere, and the stem wriggled as if it were alive, curling up even the man’s arm.

“Ahhhhh! Help me!”

“Dunluk!”

The humans who slowly sank into the swamp along with the demons cascaded. A sight more terrifying than the demons brought by the enemy army, the crown prince’s SS lost their minds.

“Everyone is standing stupidly for something! Now, attack!”

At that time, the Crown Prince who was the first to come to his senses amidst the chaos shouted out. Using magic to bind even the demons and enemy troops together now was the opportunity.

“Woah~ah~!”

The knights who heard that voice flagged down, even you put up your swords and started running towards the mangrove.” Shit!”

The rebels struggled to get out of the swamp, falling into jaded faces as they kept cutting down the stems that entangled their bodies.

The mangrove stems grabbed at the ankles, and so did Ikris. He was the most poisonous of them all. Already being held by my demon buried in the swamp, or not pulling, he struck the stems that entangled his feet with his dagger and desperately came towards me.

“Penelope-!”

He called out to me like a spurt of blood. Pinned to my eyes, the gleaming eyes showed a strong will that would never be missed.

“Damnable guy ……”

I looked at the guy who was about to come and frowned. In order to catch me, Ikris approached step by step, but couldn’t move.

Probably because of the mood, the mirror stick I was holding was getting hotter and hotter. Something rattled in my throat again. I clenched my teeth. If I didn’t press this, I instinctively felt the magic would lift.

“Time War.”

The SS must hold out until the rebels are annihilated. But as time passes, it becomes more and more blurry in front of me.

“Crown Prince! Retreat, we must retreat!”

One of the Delman troops who was near Ikris at the time cried out urgently. But there was no answer to return, and he desperately flew and grabbed Ikris.” The Prince’s son!”

“Let go Penelope!”

Ikris, who had shaken it off roughly, suddenly approached me. More than three steps away. By accident, he jumped to a place where he could reach out and grab it.

But getting there was Maggie’s route. Trying not to get caught at the same time, Woodard had to″. Suddenly, several cup stems emerged from the mud and wrapped themselves tightly around his legs. It slowly pulled Ikris downward. The gray eyes between the demonic creatures went downward and came towards me once again.

“…… Master.”

“Don’t come near me, if you don’t want to die.”

I stared daggers at him, warning him.

“Please kill me.”

But the vapid instant answer came back.

“If it’s your order, I’m happy to die. If you want me to die, I’ll die like this.”

“You really ……”

“Because I can’t die without giving you up.”

“Hurry up before I finish cutting the stem and leave.”

As soon as his words ended, a magic spell appeared in his head. In a nutshell, it wouldn’t be hard to kill him by trapping him deep in the swamp. But I couldn’t say it in pain.

Did I want Ikris dead?

Of course I hated it, hated him. Hard mode fail, wasn’t Gear the culprit for making me drink poison with my hands?

But being beaten by me and bled to death, seeing his desperate attempt to catch me in the face, more than anything else, I only sighed. But how did the guy that I once tried to take care of with a feeling of regret get to the point.

“You are no longer my slave, Ikris.”

It was only then that I sued him to end it with rational judgment, not to hurt him.” I’m sorry. I knew how you felt about me and tried to use you.”

“Master ……”

“But regardless of the process, our relationship is over. I…don’t love you.”

“So please fight the urge to live your life now. Don’t let Iben lead you around anymore. Because if you live your life, I won’t complain about you anymore.”

My words made Ikris’s pupils shake roughly. His face twisted coldly when I said I didn’t love you. It was instantaneous.

“Penelope!”

Someone called out to me. My eyes and Ikris’s suddenly turned at the same time. The crown prince who had victimized the surrounding Delman County was wandering through the swamp, running toward me in a panic.

“Because of that child.”

A sudden eerie whisper came from the front.” Ibn was right. You want to be on high …….”

“If I kill him and take the Empire in my hands, I can have you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? ……!!!”

Before he could answer, the Ikris guy darted forward.

The mangrove stalks that caught him and drew him in all broke off, a tremendous force. In the blink of an eye, a large longsword suddenly appeared in the hand of the guy who ran in front of Callisto.

“Your Highness!”

Callisto managed to fend off a downward sword.

There was a terrible iron scream between the blades that were struck. Turning around, Ikris horribly spewed out sword energy.

“Kaaaa……!”

Alarmed by the unexpected appearance of the longsword, Callisto shook and pushed backward.

“Ikris!”

I shouted back and forth. They were in the mud, not the trunk, but the thick trunk rising to a great height, enough to cover both.

“Prince!”

In that instant, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, a demonic object flew in like a bolt of lightning and took Ikris with it. Even if it was an instantaneous movement, it was a matter of a trustworthy blink of an eye. The demon that grabbed him got out of the swamp with amazing speed, as if it only took him away. It was all or nothing.

I looked blankly at the fleeting demon. Missing it like that, the emptiness struck.

…Should the demons on kill him?”

I can’t deny that I hesitated even when I had the chance. But no matter how I think about it, it feels strange. To actually kill one of the males with my hands …….

“Male female!”

The crown prince who turned his head sharply, during which his body leaned forward with his face twisted towards me.

“Are you alright? No injuries anywhere?”

He grabbed both of my cheeks and looked absently at my well-being. Instead of answering, I looked around. Most of the hemp things tied to the mangrove stems and Delmanshire had been dragged into the swampy area and ended up dead at the hands of the proctors.

The battle seemed to be over, and the tension eased.

“…… Your Highness.”

“What’s going on. Did that son of a bitch do something? Hmm?”

“I… I’m going to faint.”

“Penelope…!”

Eyes red, like they were cracked open, eyes flaring.

***

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

A knock sounded on the door in the silent chamber.” Let me in.”

Duke Eckhardt, who knew who the visitor was, ordered briefly. The door opened and the white-haired deacon of the Duke’s household entered, greeting solemnly. Duke Gong who looked up from the papers he was reading asked straight away.

“What is it.”

“Miss Penelope’s exclusive maid is still unaccounted for…” The reply that came back made the Duke’s face darken.

“…… don’t you have the possibility of following Penelope?”

“The lady disappeared two days after she went out…….” The deacon seemed saddened to finish his sentence. Then with difficulty he added.” And …… it is said that the missing maid, whose name was Leah, was in a marriage engagement with a steward named Paul.”

“Marriage?”

“Yes. Confirmed it and said no one has seen Paul since last night. Probably ran away for the marriage.”

Hearing the deacon’s words, the duke frowned. Too many things had happened in the Duke’s house within a few days, not one or two to clean up.

…The Duke’s own daughter who returned from the beating, the adopted daughter who ran away from home and her exclusive maid who disappeared without a word. Not only that, but two of the hired hands disappeared overnight.

“It’s strange that …… favors escape. Did you even forfeit your pension?”

“Yes.”

For the sake of the program, love relationships between hirelings are strictly forbidden in the public house. However, people who make secret overtures and promise to marry cannot be forced. Therefore, the marriage fund cum pension is usually prepared and taken out of the mansion. But isn’t it strange to go out without even taking the pension?

“Is …… going to release the person to further investigate the whereabouts?” Deacon carefully asked the Duke who was making a suspicious expression.” Can’t. What should I do?”

The Duke shook his head easily. Compared to the escaped mercenaries, the runaway daughter and the children who had been causing problems for days had become a bigger target.

(What is this Leonard person doing.)

“…… got drunk and was still sleeping after coming home early this morning.”

“What?!”

The second guy got drunk every day after Penelope left the house. Sometimes drunk in the middle of the night.

For coming in and crying so hard and getting soaked, sometimes waking up the hired men.

Miyane, I’m sorry …… so don’t die …… mom that necklace I’ll just buy you a new one ……

There were rumors among the hirelings that the second youngest hadn’t fallen out of love.

“…… Miss Penelope looks lonely after she left.”

“…… Tsk, tsk, like a pathetic guy.”

The deacon’s words made the duke seem dissatisfied and spit out his tongue. But because he knew who Leonard’s guy was laying it on so well, he couldn’t bear to hit the back of his head. That’s the behavior of hitting the back of one’s head and not having a real life.
