I doubted my ears.
I thought I misheard it, but I guess that wasn't the case.
Because the princess had an undeniable expression with a bluish pale face beside The Queen.
"Uh, Mother. Well, that's not...."
"Think carefully. I'm the queen of a kingdom. Put a kingdom at your feet and control it as you please. A lot more than a duke's princess who, no matter how imperial she is, has no real title....."
"That's how you lived?"
I opened my mouth without listening to everything.
If I listened more, I don't know what would happen to my ears.
"What?"
"You try to find and kill a child you couldn't kill by mistake more than 20 years ago, and now you throw away a child you have raised with great care for your own life."
"........"
"Have you been sitting in the position of a queen, controlling the kingdom as much as you like, and living like that?"
"Now......."
"That's why the kingdom is inclined."
Not because of me.
Not because of the legend of twins handed down to the royal family.
"The queen is in this state and the kingdom doesn't lean?"
That's why.
Just before I left the mansion, I received additional information about the Kingdom Viroz and read it.
It said that the kingdom was about to be ruined.
Corruptions are everywhere, and, not just one or two people buy titles with money, so the hierarchy between the nobles is collapsed, the law is nominal and the tax has soared without any standards, and the people have long been devastated.
The kingdom on the document was in a state of wretchedness that it would be strange not to let it go as it was.
"I was not sure. Do you think it's because of me? Do you believe that I am to blame for the current situation in which there are signs of treason in the South, the royal authority is in jeopardy, and public sentiment is turning around? You think it's because of the curse of the royal family?"
That's why you're trying to kill me with this much care.
"I was really not sure, but.....I guess I was right. You don't seem to know what caused your kingdom to look like this."
"What, what, what?
The Queen turned on her bosom and glared at me.
She looked fierce as if she would rush to tear me to death at any moment.
I can't make that face.
Perhaps, it's a relief that the difference between us is increasing.
"You saucy girl! You've got a broken mouth!"
"I know. I'm only saying the right thing with a broken mouth."
"You..."
"Good-bye. This is my moral greeting to the person who gave birth to me anyway."
I turned my head.
I didn't want to talk anymore.
No matter how much difference I can see, I don't want to see her face anymore.
"Oh, and contrary to what you suggested, I'm not going to kill the princess. If there's anyone who needs to live here......."
"Cough!"
".......!"
I turned my head back to add the last word and stopped.
At that moment, my head did not recognize the sight that came into my sight.
"You're giving a dirty sermon to the end. Yeah, if you don't like it, then don't. I'll make you regret that choice from now on."
"Oh, my......mother, ugh!"
"I'm sorry, baby. But it's for one person."
"What are you doing...!"
Surprise shot up, I barely squeezed my voice.
The princess, who was forced to jump in front of the sword at the hands of The Queen, threw up blood with a sword in her stomach.
A family knight, who unintentionally stabbed the princess, was unable to move and hardened.
In the confusion, The Queen immediately pulled back and winked.
Jeng!
Then the last knight standing by her immediately came at me, and Jungkook stopped him.
The knight had an unusual ability.
As if to prove it, he stopped Jungkook's sword twice.
He couldn't stop Jungkook for the third time and finally gave Jungkook his neck.
But that alone did his part.
In the meantime, The Queen, who had enough distance, tore a piece of paper out of her arms.
At the same time as the paper was torn, a swarm of light rose and wrapped The Queen.
A frosty voice was heard through a crack in the light that was strong enough to open the eyes properly.
"See you later."
When I opened my eyes again, which I had closed unconsciously, it was after The Queen had already disappeared from his seat.
Sir Davery kicked his tongue.
"Such."
There was no sword in his hand that had been held to the last minute.
He must have thrown it to hit The Queen.
It seems to me that he failed, unfortunately.
I stared blankly at the empty space where only one sword rolled lonelily, and then I came out of the arms of Jungkook, who embraced me.
I turned my head quickly.
"What about the princess?"
"That's..."
An embarrassing voice followed.
The family knight carefully laid her cold body on the floor.
"Already..."
I clenched one's fist.
My heart throbbed.
The pulse rose as the emotion intensified.
I had a headache at the moment.
'How could she do this?'
It's her own child.
She's been raised as her own blood for over 20 years.
Unlike me, where death was decided upon as soon as I was born, she must have been loved there.
That's why she desperately grabbed The Queen's arm and hid behind her, and couldn't take the distrust out of her face until the last moment.
Extreme human indignation disturbed my heart.
I trembled with strength in my rolled fist.
The knight, who laid down the princess' body, pulled himself up and said,
"I think it was a scroll just now."
"Scroll?"
"A one-time magic tool. I've only heard of it. It's the first time I've ever seen it.."
"So the king ran away using magic?"
"I'm sure she is."
Magic
"First of all, there's no way to find out where she had fled, so it's too much to track for now. I'm afraid we'll have to go back to the mansion for now...."
"No."
I shook my head.
I know a race very close to magic.
And just in time, I was able to call him out right away.
I ripped off a buttoned coin around the neck of the dress.
Then I shouted.
"Gyerg!"
"......did you call me?"
With a faster-than-expected response, the opponent tore into the air.
Surprised by the sudden appearance of a horny man, the knights retreated.
I put aside my surprise and said first.
"Gyerg, as far as I know, all the demons have a good knowledge of magic due to the nature of their race, right?"
"Yes, magic is basic and routine for us. Sometimes there's a man who's not very good at magic, but... It's like you're an adult but you're not walking properly. Understand?"
"Are you a perfect toddler?"
"Of course! What do you think I am!"
Gyerg jumped up and down in the air.
Well, it seems magical from floating in the air.
Same as he used when appeared here.
"Okay. Then I have a favour to ask."
"What?"
"A person just ran away from here using movement magic. Do you think you can get her?"
"Just now?"
Then Gyerg turned his head.
Without no one telling him, his eyes turned exactly where The Queen was just a moment ago.
"Oh, I see. There's a trace of Mana. That person must have used a tool."
"Is it possible?"
"Wait a minute."
Then Gyerg, who disappeared from the air, reappeared after a while.
With a familiar figure in one hand.
"This is the person, right?"
".......!"
Gerg threw The Queen down.
The Queen's body rolled on the floor like a pack.
But even with her eyes wide open, she could not move or speak.
"I've put some bondage magic on her so she couldn't run away again. By the way, there was no special order, so I saved her and brought her here, is that okay?"
"......yes. Well done."
I looked down at The Queen lying on the floor.
The body couldn't move, but her eyes were expanding to the limit as to what she could do at will.
I turned the body around while looking at the eyes filled with consternation.
The family knight, who was embarrassed by Gyerg, who was proud to complete the mission, and The Queen of the floor alternately, asked soon.
"What should I do?"
It didn't take long for my answer to come out.
"Can you take two people from here?"
"Yes? Oh, yeah. Anything you want to order....."
"I heard there's a rebel group hiding in the south of the kingdom. This is the queen of the southern kingdom, so take The Queen and contact them. And..."
I looked for a moment at the princess in a bright yellow dress that was dyed red.
Her eyes, which had reached the end with open arms, were closed by a family knight.
"........tell them who have the deepest resentment toward The Queen to strike her neck."
She is a woman who poked her child into the street.
There must be someone who has enough resentment to sell his soul to the devil if he could tear The Queen and kill her.
"I wish you could tell them if they could build a grave for the princess in return."
"I will."
I soon turned around.
The Queen, The Princess, and everything else here is really hard to see anymore.
Suddenly I felt tired.
And at that moment, wide arms hugged me whether he had read my condition.
The body odour irritated the nose. Whispering descended on the ear.
"Let's go back."
"...yes."
Jungkook, who had taken off his enemy's bloodstained outer garment, was only wearing a thin coat.
Thanks to this, I could feel the solidness and body temperature better.
A steady sound of heart that stabilizes the mind.
"Let's go home."
To where my precious people are waiting for me.
I leaned my cheek against the beauty of Jungkook's neck with a pulse.
