chapter 13
“Are you sorry to leave, my lady?”
When Rains, who was sitting next to him, raised one corner of his mouth and asked, Isabella shook her head vigorously.
“It’s not like that, Raines.”
“Oh my goodness. What could that be?”
Isabella closed her mouth at Rains’ teasing.
However, Isabella’s eyes were pointing in the direction of the imperial palace.
A man fighting alone in the imperial palace.
The man who must have lived like that for decades doesn’t leave my mind.
‘If it were me, I would have given up right away.’
I could feel the intention of the people in the imperial family to somehow look down on me and look down on me.
Among such people, he was shining leisurely.
Regardless of the numerous malicious rumors and attitudes.
If it were you, could you do that?
No, you couldn’t.
Fighting against prejudice is not an easy task. People instinctively reject those who are different from themselves. Trying to trample and crush.
Reinhardt taught me how to treat such people.
‘spare.’
it is leisure
The certainty that no matter how much you struggle, you will not collapse.
Unwavering commitment to yourself!
Over the past three days, Isabella has also learned from Reinhardt how to fight prejudice.
“Are you determined, young lady?”
After reading Isabella’s expression, Rains asked in a worried voice.
Isabella nodded.
“It will not be an easy fight.”
“I will always be by your side.”
“thanks. It gives me strength.”
“There are many mountains to climb, but would I have to kill them?”
“Everyone will be against me becoming a knight. Mother too.”
“… I might shave off my head.”
It is not that there is no record of a woman becoming a knight.
There’s no law saying you shouldn’t learn the sword.
But both were socially taboo.
Isabella would fight against such social prejudice.
He was about to give up, but changed his mind after seeing Reinhardt.
He didn’t give up even when he was in a worse situation than he was, and he would laugh if he gave up just because of his gender.
―If you want to learn a proper sword, find the demonic mercenary ‘Samilia’. You will be able to learn custom swordsmanship that suits you, not ceremonial swordsmanship focused on men.
Because I got a hint.
‘I’ll be back.’
Let’s go to meet each other with a stronger and more confident appearance.
to that lonely prince,
I wanted to be a friend who could support at least one arm.
All the bad rumors about him were thrown away.
Prejudice was also corrected.
Then, his annoyance toward the imperial family that was harassing him intensified.
‘Prince Reinhardt isn’t crazy. The only crazy thing is the imperial family.’
‘Crazy bastard…!’
Empress Josephine bit her lip.
In my mind, I want to blow away the double desire, but the opponent is the opponent.
And above all, the situation was the situation.
“Empress, do you look uncomfortable somewhere?”
“Oh, no, say that. It’s not uncomfortable at all.”
“I heard that a strong negative is a positive. Let me know if you feel uncomfortable at any time. I will leave without my regrets.”
“Ho… ho ho! How could I dare to feel uncomfortable with His Highness the Crown Prince? You can come visit me anytime, thinking it’s my home.”
A vein forms in the neck.
In an instant, I checked where the knife was.

Just then, a stuffed deer hanging on the wall caught my eye.
If you pull out that horn ornament, a long rapier comes out.
I wanted to pull out my rapier and stab it right away.
However, you have to be patient.
Even for Carmon.
Because Reinhardt was the only person who could fix his son.
“It is my home. Hearing those words puts me at ease. It’s good. If you feel like it, I will come and drink tea and eat.”
Please don’t.
Even though I know it’s empty words, I do that.
I was disgusted and was about to die.
Early moning. Reinhardt came knocking on the door of the lion’s palace.
It was normal to ask for permission before entering even if you were a member of the imperial family.
It wouldn’t be strange to face him for being rude, but there was nothing to say about Carmon’s treatment.
Strolling through the hallway, Reinhardt admired.
“By the way, Leo is much more sophisticated than mine. My artistic sensibility is not unusual. Did the empress decorate it herself?”
“Yes, I… Oh, if you touch that.”
Clink!
500 years ago, a pottery made by genius craftsman Atluen fell to the floor and broke.
Its beauty and historical value cannot be measured with money.
Although it is an artwork among the artworks that Josephine personally visited the owner and negotiated with.
“this. Inadvertently, because they are not in my palace. I’m sorry. But aren’t these things usually attached so that they don’t fall off?”
“Ahh······.”

Josephine stumbled.
He seemed to be anemic.
“I think this picture next to it is great too. But what button is this?”
“No…!”
Took.
I screamed, but it was too late.
Red button under the picture.
Aww!
When the button was pressed, the picture was pressed and began to tear.
It was the work of the best painter of the present age, also known as the ‘painter of destruction’.
His face and name are never known, but the reason everyone regards him as the best is not just because of his beauty.
His works exist everywhere, but are preparing to disappear anytime.
It is to always prepare a device so that the work is crushed and destroyed by human greed or curiosity.
Beauty is what everyone enjoys naturally.
According to his claim that it is most beautiful to leave it as it is.
Therefore, it is difficult to obtain and is sold at a phenomenal price when it appears in the auction market.
It was a work that Josephine had personally gone down to the black market to obtain with great difficulty.
devastated room.
Empress Josephine leaned against the wall and sat half-sitting, looking at the shattered painting.
‘Someone kill the author…’
Her heart for art was sincere.
It was her pleasure to admire and imagine their world every time she walked down the hallway.
That pleasure, now the crown prince has destroyed it.
“I’m sorry. My palace doesn’t have anything like this, so it’s unintentional. Anyway, I think it would be better to do the treatment next time.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s cool, it’s okay, Your Highness.”
She forced herself up against the wall and called someone.
“Is there anyone?”
“Yes, madam.”
“Take it away. . . . set the pieces aside.”
“Yes.”
The ladies-in-waiting nearby heard the voice and came looking for it.
I wanted to tell him to cut this guy in half and throw it outside, but Empress Josephine barely held it in and ordered her to carefully clear the area.
It was only after reaching Carmon’s room that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
But when she saw Carmon, her expression darkened again.
“For some reason, it doesn’t wake up. Even the members of the imperial family and the owner of the Mage Tower of Light say they don’t know the cause.”
Carmon, lying on the bed, was fast asleep.
It means that you will not wake up from the moment you start a runaway.
[Unauthorized nanomachines lost by ‘forced adsorption’ are affecting the body.]
[The remaining unlicensed nanomachines are filling in the missing parts by attracting nearby nanomachines.]
[Twenty hours until full recovery.]
I squeezed Carmon’s hand.
According to Zero, it wakes up in 20 hours.
It meant the process of forcibly taking mana from the body and restoring it.
Although the amount is small, it takes much longer to recover.
However, other than that, there seemed to be nothing major.
I frowned.
“It’s a big deal.”
“Why, why are you like that, Your Highness? Is there something wrong with Her Highness Carmon?”
“There is a very big problem. Today will be tough.”
“Ahh!”
stumbles again
[Anemia is caused by oxygen deficiency and iron deficiency. For reference, iron-rich foods include beef, egg yolks, spinach, and broccoli.]
Occasionally, Zero interprets the surroundings and presents information without asking.
Whatever knowledge you think will help me.
“Please, Your Highness. Please spare Her Highness Carmon.”
“It is not difficult. But will you be okay?”
“Yes?”
“I asked if it would be all right if I took care of Carmon.”
He asked with a blank expression.
There are many things contained in this one word.
Meaning I know what you did.
Empress Josephine’s expression shook for an instant.
“What does that mean?”
“They haven’t sent any medicine for the past few days.”
“Any medicine?”
“There is no medicine sent by the empress. I heard that you took a hand in curing my madness?”
Opposite.
Empress Josephine sent me drugs to further instigate my madness.
The ‘Devil’s Whisper’, a drug that destroys the mind and impairs judgment.
Because of its strong addiction, once you touch it, you become a disabled person.
But I didn’t bother telling the truth.
She looked even more confused.
something that was done in secret. I never dreamed that I would know.
By now, he would be distracted with the thought, ‘Who the hell did he talk to the crown prince?’
In addition, the doubt that ‘Did the crown prince really know?’ will never cease.
But just by looking at her expression, you could tell who the culprit was.
“I will ask you again. Can I take care of Carmon?”
Waves hit her eyes as she realized the meaning of my words.
Admit it, kneel.
Is that the only way to save Carmon?
“······ Please.”
she knelt down
Tears welled up at the corners of his eyes.
I don’t know if it’s a resentment toward me.
What is certain is that she has deep motherhood to save her son.
shackles. And it was firmly tied to the leash.
―Please save me, Your Majesty. Please save my son!
―Please, brother! Kill me and save my mother!
In the past, I cut their throats.

Josephine, who had been persistently harassing me, was beheaded in front of Carmon’s eyes and hung in front of the castle.
The body was fed to the dog.
Is it because your head is clearer?
The memory of that time, when I was engulfed in madness and madness, suddenly came to my mind.
The mouth is bitter, but I will not walk the same path.
“It’s difficult with bare mouth.”
Of course, I didn’t mean to just get over it.

Just because I said I wouldn’t kill him, didn’t mean I would let him go quietly.
“What can I give you?”
“Hmm. Well. What I can get from you is what I can get by myself.”
It’s true.
The things she could get were the things I could get too.
But, just one.
There was just one thing I couldn’t find.
“That will be fine.”
“That, that, His Majesty’s bounty…”
seeker of light.
A gift bestowed directly by the emperor to 3rd prince Carmon.
It was rolling beside the bed.
And even in the imperial family, the secret behind the wand has not yet been solved.
However, I knew
What is the secret inside that wand?
“Of course, I cannot take His Majesty’s bounty. I want to borrow it for a while.”
“… I understand, Your Highness.”
“Then I will begin treatment.”
Pretending to be cured, they held hands and looked at the seeker of light.
‘I can’t give it back.’
Because I had to break it.
The real content is inside that wand.
Traces of the great wizard of light and the spirits that followed him.
