Chapter 200 – The Princess’ Telegram
Episode 200: The Princess’ Telegram
“… If I meet a new saint, would it be okay to use it for my experiments without killing it?”
“Do as you like.”
Hearing the definite answer, Belphegor’s mouth twitched slightly.
And she disappeared into the shadows with Leviathan.
Ikarut, who soon felt a familiar presence, shifted his gaze from the shadow.
“Master.”
The interior of the mansion, where experimental tools and books are scattered around.
The door slowly opened with a jingle and a clear sound.
Through the misty air, Lesilia stepped into the light.
The dancing dust caught my eye first
The saintess’ platinum hair was shining unrivaledly.
“I got Elise’s marble from Lilith.
It is said that the information merchant who lost his memory was a request reward for the owner.”
After all, even the information manager forgot about the mansion at night.
If she hadn’t given instructions to Lilith and messed with her memories with her obscenities, she would have just fooled her.
Ikarut took the orb and projected it through the crack in the door.
A green color resembling Elise’s shimmers and surrounds the entire marble.
“There’s a communication magic.”
“Because it’s a magic orb for contact that Elise used to avoid the emperor’s eyes.”
The faintly drawn pattern in the center of the bead glowed even more as if it had found its owner.
“Elise is asking for help from her master…”
The beads gave a sparkling hand signal as if to ask for help.
Lesilia’s forehead wrinkled a little.
“They are moving arbitrarily behind the imperial castle.”
After the appearance of the new saintess, her political scene has changed.
Her high priests, including her emperor, began to obey her.
The current king of the human world was a new saint.
“It could be the emperor’s breath.”
“I am not sure which side it is on. However, the princess is worth using.”
Lesilia’s expression hardened at the words that she was worthy of her princess.
It was only for a moment, I smiled softly again
Ikarut read even a fleeting moment of time.
“I am…”
The saintess pursed her red lips and sighed briefly.
“Can’t I just show my empty feelings?”
“You behave within your means.”
“I am on the side of the master. I want to freely follow the master’s judgment. And…”
The saintess’s hand covered the beads in her palm.
Even though I was instinctively repulsed by the sacred aura, Ikarut did not take it off.
I just stare at her upright blue eyes, feeling the unpleasant and gloomy holy power.
“From now on, I won’t have to betray the Demon King, so I will be by your side.”
Lesilia smiled brightly as she said her meaningful words.
If you won’t betray the Demon King, what are you going to do to me?
Her layer upon layer of her doubts burst forth.
However, contrary to reason, Ikarut averted his eyes, forcing his pounding heart to hold.
***
As she pours demonic energy into her beads, another pattern is drawn.
Woo woo-
The same pattern was drawn in the air.
The magic circles communicate with each other and distort the space.
Dig!
In the blink of an eye, the two were moved to different places.
‘It’s movement magic.’
It was quite surprising because it was a magic that had to be accompanied by tremendous magical power.
The sound of crows croaking loudly.
A forest with no wind blowing gently.
Using all his senses, Ikarut surveyed the place.
“… It is a forest located behind the imperial palace.”
Resilia, who had already noticed where she was, looked at one place and moved her steps lightly.
At her feet was a dying flower.
She then crouched down with her legs in an awkward position as she gazed at the flower.
She said, “Not long after she and Elise were nominated for her saintess, she planted flowers together. She told me that her tea time was too boring, so Elise took my hand and told me to grow her flowers.”
Ikarut silently waited in the back with a gaze locked in memories.
She was once on good terms with the princess, but after Elise fell out of her candidacy, a wall developed in their relationship.
“Elise, even though she hated the imperial castle, in the end she stayed there. She believes in the worth of a princess, but please don’t trust her.”
The calm tone of voice is cold.
On the day the holy sword appeared in the imperial library, the words of the princess who secretly visited him in the middle of the night suddenly came to mind.
‘Still, don’t trust the saintess too much. She’s as suspicious as a hero.’
I felt a strange sense of deja vu, but Ikarut didn’t believe the two anyway.
Ugh.
At that moment, Elise’s orb shot a light at the dying flower.
Starting from the flower, a path was created where the light gathered.
The two looked at each other and took a step without saying a word.
The path made like a signpost had no grass or trees to make it easy to follow.
Without any conversation, I focused on following the light.
By the time you get used to the silence of the forest.
Pod!
The light suddenly dimmed and entered the orb.
“It’s been a while. Have you been well?”
Elise appeared behind a tree with a wide barrel.
And, as if ignoring her saintess, she focuses her attention only on Ikarut.
Despite her arrogance, Lesilia remained silent.
“Anyway, this person…”
“What’s the matter?”
“Ah, that’s um, do you mind if I know who he is and talk to him?”
Forgotten maiden.
One day, Lesilia disappeared even in the head of her rival who had a fierce love battle over a hero who was the same candidate for a saint.
The saintess, startled for a moment, quietly stepped back and opened her distance.
Elise looked at him cautiously,
After a certain distance, Ikarut put up a veil with an aura to prevent the conversation from leaking out.
And he gestured as if to speak.
Elysee, who had been looking at the saintess and looking at her, opened her mouth in relief.
“Thank you so much for responding to my earlier contact. I didn’t know how to interact with you without my father’s knowledge, so I entrusted it to the information manager.”
Ikarut watched silently.
The aura that swayed through the air choked her as if it would cut her throat if she spoke incorrectly.
She felt pressured, as if urging her to speak quickly.
“Have you heard of the legend that there is a yellow dragon sealed in our imperial library?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
“Ah, you know more about the human world than I thought. Then we can talk quickly.”
Elise glanced at the saintess who only had her shadow and spoke in a slightly lower voice.
“I hear rumors that I recently saw the Yellow Dragon. It’s not just one or two people who have seen it. Of course, it also reached my father’s ears. But he said leave it alone and the saintess will take care of it.”
“Saint… You mean Etia?”
“Yes, but I don’t believe in the saintess. For some reason, he is suspicious.”
Ooh, perhaps thanks to her veil, she did not hesitate to say something like her blasphemy.
Elise moved closer to him and put her palm to her mouth.
“The saintess often stays in the Hwangseong Fortress. Ever since she received the oracle, she doesn’t go to the temple often and only stays here. She honestly hates it, but I can’t go against his will.”
The conversation soon turned into complaints about the saintess.
The government is led by a saint, not by the old high priest.
Interesting information such as the fact that no one had ever seen the saintess’ bare face from the coronation ceremony until now came out of Elise’s mouth.
“From what I’ve heard, the saintess heard rumors and went to the library. But the rumors got worse.
You can hear the howling of the monster in the cave, and some have heard that they have seen a shining sword.”
“Did you say a howling sound and a shining sword?”
While listening to the boring conversation, two words stuck in my mind.
When Ikarut reacted, Elise nodded her head and opened her eyes slightly.
“Maybe… I don’t know if the dead warrior’s holy sword is there.”
“Are you telling me on purpose?”
“Of course. If you’re going to use me for that damn imperial authority, you’d better do it right, right?”
“So what do you want?”
“It brings the imperial power.”
She shows the smile she saw at her dinner party.
Her round eyes showed bold confidence, but there was also a slight uneasiness.
“You mean to become the emperor. I heard that a well-behaved cat goes up to the stove first, so I would have thought that he was plotting rebellion without my father’s knowledge.”
“I need your strength.”
“… It’s fun.”
The main heroine, the princess, was on the side of the heroine in the game.
The world has changed his indicator that the demon king is the main character.
It is difficult even for the protagonist to predict whether the main heroine will be the sword that fits her hand or the sword that will pierce her heart.
“It is well worth using.”
No matter which sword it is, she is a member of the imperial family.
And the fact that the main character has a great influence on the scenario remains unchanged.
***
“This way.”
The conversation was neither long nor short.
As soon as the aura covering the forest disappeared, Lesilia appeared.
She was holding her hands together as if praying, as if she was anxious to be alone.
Seeing that, Elise looked her head and narrowed her eyes.
For some reason, she seemed to be losing her memory, but in the end, she couldn’t remember her forgotten saintess.
Along the silence of the forest, the three of them walked without speaking.
Until arriving at her library, Elise only glanced at her saintess, but there was no emotion other than her curiosity.
Even though her former companion had forgotten herself, Lesilia kept pace with her without wavering.
Knowing that she was a kind and affectionate character beyond her calm appearance, Ika Root kept an eye on her saintess.
“Barrier… Long time no see.”
“? Have you ever been here?”
“Wait, I’ve been here before.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
The entrance to the dungeon where the Trial of the Holy Sword is given.
As last time, at the barrier lined in front of the library, Lesilia spat out words in admiration.
Elise, who secretly kept an eye on her saintess, reacted again and tilted her chin, as if she had doubts.
Ugh-
Before I could recall her memories, I heard a familiar resonant sound.
‘Chaos appeared here too.’
Feeling the demonic sword resonating together, Ikarut raised his eyes and gazed at the barrier.
The surface shimmers in rainbow colors according to the setting sun.
Serung, Ikarut raises his demonic sword and slams it into the ground.
As the huge aura crawled out, her chin choked as if impurities were mixed in the air.
“It’s annoying, so I’ll break it at once.”
“Careful. Because of the recent rumors, security has become tighter-“
“It’s annoying.”
She has to go through the same Trial of the Holy Sword again.
The old figure users were bored of going through the same quest at the same speed as before.
As the tip of her sword rose, Lesilia forced her Elise back with one arm.
Wow!
A huge explosion shook the ground.
As the storm-like smoke covered their field of vision, the demon king and the saintess made their way between them as they were accustomed to.
