chapter 7
Episode 7. I will definitely kill you.
Episode 7. I will definitely kill you.
A leg that limps and moves forward like an automated machine.
It can’t go on like this.
I have to come up with a way to get out somehow.
If only the aura of chaos injected by Camilla Vicious could be removed, it would undoubtedly weaken the control of the mind.
But in order to do that, I had no choice but to use the claws of chaos on myself.
It was said that he had to stab himself, but it wouldn’t be too expensive if he could be freed that much.
Suddenly, I realized that her right hand was still in her bosom.
She still clenched her dagger.
…… Could it be that?
Perhaps it was unknown whether there was a blind spot in the demons manipulating humans.
Camilla Vicious’ orders were ultimately transmitted through language. She couldn’t be without a gap.
– Go back to your bedroom and wait like a dog.
In other words, it is a story that only going back is the core of the command.
That’s why the hand was still intact.
It may be the legs that are the subject of rotation, but the control over the hands may be relatively weak.
I tried my best, focusing all my willpower on my hands.
As expected, the hand holding the dagger moved slightly.
I struggled to get my hand out.
Swoop-
It was definitely being pulled out, little by little.
While shaking and shaking from fierce resistance, he was slowly getting out of his arms.
Some more. Little bit more.
While walking with a limp, he kept pulling his hand out, until finally he was able to fully draw the dagger.
I managed to turn my fist, which was still shaking, so that the pointed tip of the sword touched my left abdomen.
Then I pushed it in slowly.
Pooh Woo Woo!
I had no choice but to do this now.
“Ugh… ….”
The pain was so terrible that it was difficult to describe, but after a while I was finally able to stop walking.
Because there could be excessive bleeding, it would be better not to pull out the dagger that was stuck in it.
Nevertheless, my consciousness kept getting more and more blurry.
We don’t have much time, so we need to hurry up.
Camilla Vicious can be seen in the distance.
Now I know very well that getting close is never a good way.
As I pondered over my belated regret, I raised my secret bow.
The lamentation of having to do this a long time ago naturally followed.
But there was a problem.
The streetlights were lit, but not bright enough for aiming, and the distance made Camilla Vicious and the Empress blurry as one mass.
Although it is said to be a mysterious bow that automatically hits the target just by aiming it, the target could not be seen properly.
If you aim incorrectly, you might hit the empress.
Of course, even in this situation, there was no way.
Because now I have red eyes that only those of the imperial family can have.
The reason why the Kratus Empire was able to become the strongest nation on the continent was not simply because the emperor was a sword master.
It wouldn’t have been easy if it wasn’t for the special ability of the red eyes.
That ability was the ability to clearly see the target he was about to kill, regardless of darkness or obstacles.
Furthermore, it could have enhanced its eyesight to the point of surpassing that of an eagle.
Once again, I think that Kratus I stole the secret palace from the elven king for a reason.
I raised my murderous intent against Camilla Vicious.
‘I will definitely kill that evil demon.’
As she imagined stabbing her heart with a knife in her head, her red hair became clearly visible.
This seemed to be enough to use the secret palace.
I pulled the bowstring as hard as I did at the gymnasium.
Jwaaak-
The bowstring bends with difficulty and shakes as if convulsing.
“Ugh… ….”
I felt an excruciating pain in my stomach, and I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment. Her whole body was trembling, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
As soon as I got the intuition that the arrowhead was aiming right at the head, the string that was hanging went through my finger by itself.
Pot!
Even though arrows were apparently shot, there was no sound or sign.
Nevertheless, I was sure.
Camilla Vicious’ hair is now past its expiration date.
Surely, the sound of something violently exploding came from the front.
Poo-Wak!
I wondered if hitting a watermelon with a hammer would make a sound like this.
Anyway, it must have been a hit.
But it’s too early to like it.
Because its head will regenerate at high speed.
Before that happens, we must drive the claws of chaos into the heart as quickly as possible.
There was no time.
I limped and ran.
“Hey!”
He is out of breath, and excruciating pain rages in his stomach.
Though it was stabbed at the poisoned part, it was enough to withstand it.
Nevertheless, the feeling of being torn apart was so intense that the pain in my left leg was laughable.
Upon closer inspection, the left hand of Camilla Vicious, who had lost her head, was still gripping the hair of her empress.
Her right hand was held high, and the top of her neck was glowing red, and her missing head was rapidly regenerating.
The empress’ gaze at me slowly moved back and forth between my face and abdomen.
It was an expression that naturally made me wonder if I could be more surprised than this.
I tried to smile, saying that I could be relieved now, but the stiff expression like that of a statue wouldn’t allow such an extravagance.
Without hesitation, I pulled out the dagger stuck in my stomach.
Chuhwaak-
Fresh blood gushing out like a fountain.
“Keuugh!”
The terrible pain was a bonus.
One of Camilla Vicious’s eyes, her face half restored, rolled towards me.
It was a much faster recovery than I thought.
I have to stab him quickly, but the hand holding the dagger is shaking and I’m not listening. The intense pain and dizziness rushed in, and the sky seemed to turn yellow.
It was rather strange that he was still holding the dagger even though he couldn’t even feel the sensation in his hand.
But I can’t collapse like this in vain. Even when he died, there was still work to be done.
If you can’t pierce the demon’s heart with your sword, after recovering his head, you may kill me and the empress, and the Kratus Empire may end up in ruins.
I made an earnest request to the cells throughout my body.
I desperately begged him to allow me to move only my right arm holding the dagger.
My arms slowly began to move, as if my heart had worked.
I was in a situation where I was running out of breath, but I slowly drove the knife into Camilla Vicious’s heart, forgetting to even breathe.
Pooh Woo Woo!
That’s very deep.
Hwaaak!
The red light that hovered around his head was helplessly sucked into the blade.
The head, which was being regenerated at high speed, melted right before being completed.
“Haa…… Ha… ….”
I felt frustrated as if my heart was going to explode, perhaps because I held my breath for too long.
Cheolpuduk-
The body of Camilla Vicious, sprawled on the floor, slowly begins to grow.
Because he lost his heart, he returned to his original body.
“Haa… ….”
This job was really not easy.
Even though I read the novel, I had to risk my life.
Even so, he succeeded in killing the demon with such a messed up body.
Maybe this is my biggest achievement since coming here.
Now that the government is dead, the relationship with the empress will improve, and the princes will naturally like me.
Then at least I won’t die at the hands of my son.
Just imagining it seems to make me feel better.
Belatedly, a sense of relief came over me, and now my legs feel relaxed.
Push-
I had no choice but to sit down.
My head dropped naturally and my vision went dark as if the TV screen was turned off.
*
Estill was stamping her feet in front of the emperor’s bedroom.
Her face was swollen, her lips were chapped, and her dress was covered in blood, but now was not the time to argue.
After a while, the imperial family doctor carefully opened the door and came out.
“The Empress.”
“How is Your Majesty?”
Esteel blows away questions without hesitation.
Due to the elegance that pervades the bones, the urgency was well hidden in the expression and voice, but even the trembling in the eyes could not be covered.
“Ah, that… ….”
The imperial family doctor was sparing his words with a suspicious expression on his face and even breaking out in a cold sweat.
“Why is that? Is His Majesty really that serious right now?”
“Oh, no. You’ll probably wake up soon. Yes, it is, and it certainly will be. Yes, it is…….”
Anyone who wasn’t normally like that suddenly started talking gibberish and even lengthening his words strangely.
So I opened the bedroom door and went in.
The emperor with his eyes closed as if he were dead. He seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Esteel vividly remembered what had just happened.
When the emperor pulled out the dagger stuck in his stomach, his blood gushed out like a fountain.
I don’t know how the dagger got stuck in the stomach, but the emperor must have been mortally wounded.
She sat down on the chair next to the bed.
“How did you do that?”
It was an overly calm voice.
Estill clearly saw the Emperor stabbing Camilla Vicious with a dagger.
“Why did you risk your life for me?”
The questions she posed were never meant to be answered.
However, the emperor, with his pale face and still eyes closed, felt infinitely savage.
I really wanted to hear what he had to say.
How the heck did that happen?
Why did you suddenly start doing things you weren’t supposed to do?
Why do you keep telling yourself to hold on to your heart and torture your hopes?
But she wasn’t in a bad mood.
In fact, she herself would deny it, but she was overjoyed.
Because the evil mistress, Camilla Vicious, was dead.
Of course, she never knew that woman was something like a monster.
Estill ordered the imperial guards to thoroughly seal the place where Camilla Vicious died, and to keep her body in a safe place.
I had asked the chamberlain to be careful with the mouths of the lower ones, so he would take care of it.
“Was it because of Camilla Vicious that her majesty suddenly changed five years ago?”
Estill looked down at the emperor’s face without an answer.
Tears began to flow from her eyes.
“Please say something.”
Despite the pressing tone, it was a very quiet voice. It seemed that there was a lot of intention not to interfere with the emperor’s recovery.
“If I’ve misunderstood all this time, if it’s just that Your Majesty didn’t want to be attacked by monsters, I feel sorry for you, what should I do?”
She was sobbing and shaking her shoulders as if her contradictory attitude was unacceptable even to herself.
“Anyway, Your Majesty saved me.”
Her gaze began to gently scan the emperor’s face.
Then she slowly rose from her seat and put her own lips to her emperor’s cheek.
Page-
Estill sat back down with her slightly flushed face. She
She and she spoke her words in a quiet voice.
“She can’t help but feel so fortunate that the rebellion failed.”
Clap-
The bedroom door suddenly opened, and the three princes came in one after another.
All three were carrying wooden swords.
“Oh my God, are you okay?”
Estill was startled and hurriedly stole her tears.
She continued her words without looking back to see if she could see her messed up face.
“My mother is fine. More than that, His Majesty is in a grave situation, so everyone should remain calm.”
All three princes gave no answer.
The first and second princes were each holding their wooden swords tightly and glaring at the emperor with murderous eyes, but Estill didn’t notice.
‘Maybe now is the perfect opportunity to kill that monster.’
They both were filled with such thoughts.
The third, who was holding the collar of the second with her hand, tilted her head with an innocent expression.
