My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

45 – The Princess’ Despair (4)

I was just trying to confirm.

In the current situation, there was too little information, and at least I was trying to confirm why the empire was falling.

That way will help me decide which direction I should move in the future.

So I was on my way to the Empire.

But, this situation was quite surprising to me.

‘What are they?’

Now the empire was being invaded. To the demons.

That was also the situation right before the fall of the capital.

Perhaps the northern area, which is the border with the demon king’s army, has been completely devoured.

In many ways, it could be said that it was a disastrous situation for the Empire.

“Couldn’t they have tried to destroy the empire?”

“Kuh… Kuh… Why is this wizard so strong?”

However, the process was very disappointing.

It wasn’t that the Demon King directly attacked, nor did the Four Heavenly Kings invade.

At last, the commander of the Demon King’s Corps, and the commander of the 13th Corps, who had a very low rank, had invaded.

The empire almost disappeared from history, losing to just these things.

It was quite absurd to face such a situation from my point of view, having only been in the empire for a short time.

Because even if you were really weak, you were too weak.

“My head hurts. I didn’t come here to save the empire.”

Of course, I wasn’t particularly interested in whether the empire perished or not.

I didn’t care if I was destroyed by the corps commander or by the demon king.

I am no longer a member of the Empire, but a member of the Kingdom.

Also, when the goddess prophesied that the empire would perish, I didn’t even think how I could save the empire.

But no matter how you think about it, this is ridiculous, isn’t it?

“What the hell are Chloe and the princess doing?”

The empire has come to this point, but the hero Chloe doesn’t know where or what she is doing.

If she had been normally, she wouldn’t have come like this.

Also, the princess doesn’t even understand what the hell and how the Demon King’s army invades the capital.

Does it make sense to be penetrated like this without a single hero?

“Let’s go ahead and look at the situation.”

What, is there a special story?

I don’t know about that, but I felt the need to go there myself.

So I went straight to the Empire.

Letia let out a sigh of relief when the hero came.

In a situation where the empire was on the verge of being destroyed by the demon lord’s army, in such a situation, letting Letia come here was no different from salvation.

She had no doubt that she believed that she would definitely fight the demon king army for her empire.

By the way.

“Hey… Chloe, why are you doing this?”

In Letia’s eyes, Chloe’s condition looked very strange.

She drew her sword and slowly approached Chloe.

As if he was about to kill himself.

What on earth is Chloe trying to do now?

No matter how you think about it, it’s not good.

“It’s the princess. Can’t you recognize me? Chloe, please wake up.”

The princess tried to convey her words to Chloe as much as possible.

It was something I shouldn’t have done now.

Trying to kill the princess, and that being a hero.

It was something that should never have happened, and I desperately tried to stop Chloe.

However, in spite of Letia’s cry, Chloe slowly continued walking without a word.

With a smiling face.

“Aren’t you being manipulated by someone? Don’t do this. Why are you doing this?”

Seeing that, Letia shed tears.

From her point of view, she seemed to have nothing of the opposite s*x to Chloe anymore.

Perhaps he is being manipulated by someone?

I wonder if it’s possible for the hero to be manipulated by someone, but at this point I can only hypothesize.

No matter how you think about it, there was no reason for Chloe to kill herself.

‘Ugh…’

In the end, he will die at the hands of the hero.

The moment the princess was waiting for her end while thinking about that.

Chloe finally opened her mouth.

“Are you asking because you don’t know? Princess. It’s because of you.”

Chloe was looking at her princess with a rather hateful look.

It was her voice that fell coldly, as if dealing with the enemy who killed her parents.

Her voice contained sadness as if she had lost her life because of her princess.

“Yes? My fault? What did I do wrong?”

However, the princess had no choice but to question Chloe’s reaction.

Because to the princess now, Chloe’s words were too sudden.

No matter how much she thought about it, she didn’t do anything wrong or wrong with Chloe.

Hero, if you were good to Chloe, you would have been good to her.

She never failed.

But why would the hero say such a thing?

Letia looked at Chloe as if she had no idea, and Chloe told Letia her answer.

“You banished Xerath.”

“You banished the wizard of the warrior party…?”

“Yes, Princess. Because of you… Because of you…”

As Chloe gave her answer, it was Chloe who fiercely argued with the princess, as if her anger exploded.

“Princess. Do you really want to search? Do you dare banish him?”

Tears welled up in her eyes. All of this was that Chloe was angry with the princess because she had lost her love, and because she had banished Xerath, she was angry.

“Why on earth did he banish me and make things this way? I liked him. Why did he banish me to prevent my love from coming true?”

“That… That’s why…”

It was only now that the princess was able to realize that fact.

The fact that Chloe actually liked Xerath, and the fact that Chloe is now quite angry at having Xerath banished.

And the fact that he now resents himself for banishing Xerath.

She was a princess who understood all of these things.

And after understanding, the princess also became angry.

“What’s wrong with that. I thought Xerath was a worthless man, as you said. You told me that way.”

It was none other than Chloe who gave the information about Xerath.

She exiled Xerath because she said bad things about Xerath to her.

If it wasn’t for Chloe, he wouldn’t have banished Xerath.

In hindsight, it could be said that Chloe’s fault was the biggest.

Rather, isn’t the princess herself a victim? She wanted to

“And that’s the only reason you haven’t been there until now? You disappeared without a word and the empire is about to collapse. Is it okay for the hero to disappear just for that reason?”

It was natural for a warrior to protect the empire.

No matter how important personal love is, it couldn’t be more important than the safety of the empire.

She couldn’t fulfill her duties as a warrior, and she couldn’t defend the empire.

In the end, it must have been because of the hero that the empire came to this point.

The princess had no choice but to argue with the hero.

“…”

Chloe, who had been listening to the princess’s words for a while, slowly regained her expression.

And she said with a smile.

“Right. I said it that way. It was my fault. But that’s why I am here now.”

To be honest, Chloe was also somewhat convinced of what the princess said.

The reason why the princess expelled Xerath must be the biggest fault of her own, not anyone else.

She thought it was a needless push and pull, and she knew better than anyone that this was the cause.

And the reason why she is about to destroy the empire is probably because the hero herself left.

I fully understood that part.

So she felt responsible. She took responsibility for making all these things right.

“I realized. You can just kill them all, right? You can just kill them all, right?”

And that correcting method was too easy for Chloe.

Just kill them all.

“The princess, the demon king, and the princess named Lucy who married Xerath. All the other women around Xerath can also be killed, right?”

If you kill the princess, your revenge will be complete, and if you kill the demon army, peace will come to the world.

And if you kill all the women around Xerath, Xerath will become your own.

That way you can get everything right.

You will be able to marry Xerath.

Killing was the most reasonable and easiest way.

“Ahahahahaha. Yes. I just had to kill it. I just had to kill everyone, right?”

It was really a way to express admiration.

There is probably no one who can stop the warrior himself.

No one can stop you.

So, now it’s time to take Xerath again.

No, because Xerath belonged to him from the beginning.

You’d be right to say you get it back.

While thinking that, Chloe laughed, a mysterious voice reached her.

[Hero, Chloe. Wouldn’t that work?]

The identity of that voice was that of a goddess.

“Goddess…?”

Chloe is startled by the sudden voice of the goddess.

[Chloe. You crossed the line So, from now on, I will disqualify you as a warrior.]

The goddess sentenced such Chloe.

You are no longer a hero.
