chapter 31
31 – Return (1)
Down the podium.
Thousands of soldiers are lined up in line with each other.
I was in awe of its majestic appearance.
“Salute to the lord—!”
Clap!
The soldiers raise their swords in unison without a single distraction.
As I look at the overwhelming sight, I realize what position I am in.
‘It’s finally over.’
The resistance camp was dismantled and settled with the victory of the demons.
Even so, the holy bonds did not disappear.
Because they existed all over the world like a single religion.
Perhaps somewhere else they are conspiring to annihilate the demons.
‘Be sure to win next time. Don’t make me suffer.’
Anyway, today is the day we leave Maslantia.
Siwon-seop wants to go back as soon as possible.
“My lord.”
Glancing to the side, Sirius whispers quietly.
“Please make a speech. Soldiers are waiting.”
I nodded.
I looked straight ahead and raised my voice using maximization.
“You worked hard all this time. Let’s not meet again in the future. More.”
-Wow!
Even though it was a short impression, the soldiers shout loudly.
My ears were hurting.
“hahahaha, he jokes well. Let’s not meet again.”
Sirius approached with a smile.
I smile and pat him on the shoulder.
“No kidding.”
Having to see it again meant that I would come back to the battlefield again.
That’s an absolute no-go.
“hahahaha, sure. I know the will of the monarch. Are you leaving now?”
“I have to go.”
Sirius stared at me with regret.
Then, he quietly opened his mouth.
“From now on, Maslantia will become an area for demons. If you have time, please let me know later.”
“I’ll think about it. Goodbye.”
It was time to leave like that.
Sirius suddenly turned his head quickly.
Boom. Pop.
Soon after, water began to fall on the floor.
I watched him with a puzzled face.
‘Oh, you’re crying?’
Don’t harass me.
Then I have no choice but to kill you. Dog star.
“Echwi!”
“?”
“Excuse me. Suddenly a cough comes out.”
-Shoot aaa!
“It’s raining. It seems that the sky is sad because the monarch has left. hahahaha.”
I let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he coughed and turned his head, and what fell to the floor were raindrops.
‘If you cry, really….’
Knocked it out.
“Then, do your best.”
I went down the podium with a relieved face.
The eyes of the soldiers follow me as I move.
‘Return in a few days?’
As I was walking with such thoughts in mind, I suddenly remembered one person.
Is Seina doing well?
She forgot to mention that she came in a hurry by order of the overlord.
Thanks to her, she made an astronomical loss.
Anyway, you’re not upset about this, are you?
**
Black night sky.
The blue full moon twinkles with the stars around it.
Seina’s eyes lit up at the beautiful sight.
“Wow! Pretty.”
Seina, the wolf tribe of the flash.
She often climbed a steep hill with a clear view of the sky and looked at the night sky.
“Seina-sama, it’s late. You have to go now. Hollan is waiting for you.”
The escort soldier Eric, who was watching him, opened his mouth.
“Can’t we wait a little longer?”
“No. Halan-nim will surely scold you.”
“Just a little more! Huh? I will tell you well.”
“hahahaha. I can’t.”
“Why not? Eric is on my side.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Eric started laughing.
Seina suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu and was startled.
“Eric?”
“hahahahaha!”
“You… what’s the matter?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This shameless b*tch—!”
At that moment, Eric’s expression, which had been laughing until just now, hardened like a lie.
Embarrassed, Seina stepped back from her.
“… It’s a door.”
“What… ?”
“It’s because of you—!”
“… Eric? What’s the matter?”
“On that day, if you hadn’t abandoned our tribe and run away, we wouldn’t have died.”
Eric’s face rotted away like a dead corpse, and maggots began to seep into it.
Seina was frightened and moved her body backwards.
“You abandoned your tribe.”
“No! I didn’t give up… !”
Her eyes became moist.
“Don’t be ridiculous, you selfish b*tch——!”
At that moment, a close-up of Eric’s face fills the screen.
Seina was startled and pulled her body up.
“Whoops!”
She exhaled heavily and quickly looked around her.
Where is this place?
Then I immediately come to my senses.
“… It was a dream.”
She let out a sigh of relief and caressed her arm.
Her whole body was soaked with sweat.
“… I need to wash it.’
She wiped the water from her eyes and pushed her feet out of the bed.
Having nightmares was common.
No, it always happens.
From the moment her own tribe perished.
“… It is a full moon.”
I can see the dark sky outside the window.
It was the same sky as the day everyone was together just a little while ago.
However, now he is alone.
As well as escort soldiers to go see the moon together.
There are no tribes that warmly welcome you.
‘This is not the time to be like this….’
Thinking of that made me angry.
The man who destroyed his tribe is still alive.
He should get revenge on him quickly, but he was too weak to do it right now.
To defeat that monstrous man, you must become stronger.
Because of that, he swore allegiance to Gerard and tried to learn from him.
-If you go on a journey with me, you will become stronger. And sooner or later you will achieve the goal you want.
“… Liar.”
I was left alone as if to show off.
It wasn’t until several hours after Gerard left that she found out that he had gone to the battlefield.
How could she abandon herself?
At the last Lords’ Meeting, and now.
‘It must be because I am weak… ?’
Seina lowered her head.
Ping.
Tears begin to well up.
I felt more sad because I had a nightmare just now.
‘No, if I get weak.’
Seina patted her own cheek with both of her hands.
“Calm down.”
It wasn’t the time to make weak noises.
It is more productive to think about how to become stronger at a time like this.
With that in mind, she got out of bed.
**
The next day came.
Seina stepped into the gym early in the morning.
It was her routine that has continued since entering the monarchy to become stronger as soon as possible.
Today, as always, the knights of the monarchy are training.
She passed them as usual and headed for an empty corner seat.
“Hey, look over there. Came again.”
“Pheuheup.”
Kkeut.
Seina’s ears are wide open.
“What would the monarch take such a child for?”
“Quuck! Do you take Don’t you know I forgot to leave this battlefield? It was abandoned.”
She fawned on me every day. Maybe she thinks she’s the best in the castle. Sub-racial subject.”
‘… ….’
Recently, it has been common for the knights to gossip about themselves.
Obviously, this didn’t happen when I just came to the castle.
After the separation from Gerard, it started to show off.
Stroke!
Her sharp claws cut through the air in a half-moon arc.
“Ah, you are uncivilized. Watch him train with his hands.”
Would you like to eat with your hands?”
“But, isn’t it pretty? I think I know why the monarch took him for a while.”
“Ugh! Don’t talk dirty Don’t you know that eating anything makes you sick?”
Seina’s expression gradually distorted.
She didn’t want to hear it, but because of her developed hearing, she kept hearing it.
She had to put up with her though.
She didn’t know that Gerard would get into trouble if she went out.
“Haa, I want to go into the king’s bedroom too.”
“Kuh-kuh, crazy b*tch. Wake up. Will you be?”
“What about me!”
“My lord, I like such strong and pretty sub-species.”
“f*ck, no way… The monarch is an idealist?!”
“Sure. Originally strong noblemen have a bit of a unique taste. But I’m also a bit drawn to it. If you gather their tribes together and put them all together in one room… “
Hearing those words, Seina kicked the ground in an instant.
She lunges at him with furious eyes.
The knights watched her and took out her sword.
-Taang!
Sparks fly.
Seina’s nails are blocked by the knight’s sword.
He opens his mouth with a distorted face.
“Has such a crazy b*tch gone around!”
“Cancel it now.”
“What are you saying to cancel, you idiot!”
“For swearing at our tribe!”
Seina: She could endure as much as she cursed herself.
However, she couldn’t stand cursing the tribes that sacrificed themselves for her.
The article said with a smile.
“Did we never say that? Isn’t that what you think?”
“Sounds funny… “
-f*ck!
Seina’s body rolled to the floor.
Her knight next to her pushed her with her foot.
“Where is the b*tch being rude?”
“Hey, hey! Stop everyone! What are you going to do when the captain sees it?”
“Behold, well, we did nothing wrong. Didn’t this year rush?”
With that said, the woman approached Seina in a hurry.
– Stroke!
As if Seina had been waiting for her, she raised her body and attacked.
A woman who ducks her body and evades lightly.
“Is that right?”
-f*ck!
Seina rolls to the ground again at her kick.
“Did you feel like something happened because you were next to the monarch? Huh? Don’t get me wrong—! Because this is your position!”
She presses her head with her foot as if waiting.
“Queue!”
They were the Hertz Knights of the 7 Lords Castle, and each one of them was a monster with mighty power.
They were too daunting opponents for Seina, who hadn’t grown up yet.
“Leave this—!”
Seina groaned and waved her hand around.
However, she does not become rich.
She laughs, putting more strength into her feet.
“hahahaha! I’ll let you go if you beg me for doing something wrong.”
Whoops!
BEAUTIFUL!
Her ground cracked, and Seina’s face sank into the ground.
“Isn’t that too harsh?”
“The other person is a woman. He only says that to women.”
“You look interesting.”
Just then, I heard a voice that sent chills down my spine.
The two knights hurriedly turned their heads.
Soon after, he freaks out.
“Bo, Chief of Staff—?!”
“… hahahaha, I can explain….”
There, Darmian, who is called the devil among demons, was standing there with an indifferent face.
“How did that happen? “
“I don’t think there will be any use in explaining it to me.”
“Yes?”
Darmian nonchalantly pointed in front of him.
The two knights looked straight ahead without much thought.
“——!!!!!”
Soon after, the eyes of the two grew bigger and changed to the point of popping out.
“Gu, Lord?!”
“… Oh, you’re back.”
The 7 Lords are walking in front of you.
I could only see his back, but they could tell what kind of expression he was making.
It is.
It was an uncontrollable rage.
