Chapter 151 – Episode 151 the Princess Trapped in Fate, the Iliad Princess (15)
She returned to Fortress Dorita, where the Expeditionary Force was stationed, taking Iliad, who had regained her sanity.
“Incredible. Rebuilding the fort like this?”
“It’s not me, it’s all thanks to my talented subordinates.”
As the princess said, Fort Dorita has been transformed into a strong fortress equipped with much more diverse defense equipment than before it was occupied.
Ogre throwers were placed in the siege tower where the Trebuchet catapults were originally located, and multi-barreled Magi cannons made by Lich wizards were placed on the walls equipped with mana cannons.
It was Dorita Fortress, which became a more solid fortress than when the Empire occupied it.
“I think I know why they captured the fortress so quickly. I felt that the destructive power of the magic technology possessed by the Demon King’s Army was no less than that of the Empire.”
“It’s a combination of the empire’s technology sent by the princess.”
“Is there a magician like that in the Demon King’s army?”
“There are not many, but there are those who have escaped the human ark.”
It was the result of Rayleigh and other Riches’ hard work all night long.
The wizards, elven wizards, and elementals of Aslan Kingdom also quickly absorbed the empire’s technological power.
Thanks to this, it was reborn as a fortress with the Empire’s technology and the strength of the Demon King’s Army.
“To think it could change like this…”
“Once you go in. There are many things I want to ask.”
“Yes.”
Princess Iliad came inside while admiring the fortress.
As she entered with the princess, her men looked at her and rolled their eyes at her.
Sage, Frey, and Lucy just stared.
Rayleigh and Frederike simply accepted the fact that I was the new girl I brought with them.
Everyone knew that she was the princess of the empire and that she was the Iliad, who had recently been crowned her emperor.
But only one.
“Kush! Kush! Kill me! Why did you bring another competitor! Kush!”
Kush, the highest level rabbit, patted my chest with her hand and complained about her.
“Come on, Kushiya, calm down. Now is not the time to talk about that.”
“Kush…”
The max level rabbit, who had puffed up his cheeks and complained, stepped back.
Even if you grumble, you listen well.
“Princess Iliad has been an insider who has helped advance the Demon King’s army. She decided to attack this fortress thanks to the information she sent.”
“Ah.”
Everyone nodded her head in agreement.
“I’ll talk to her alone for a while, so Diana can follow me.”
“All right.”
At that, Lucy raised her hand.
“What are you going to do by taking her sister! I have to go…”
Sage grabbed Lucy’s hand and forced her down.
“Don’t bet on your father’s words. Cheeky elf bitch.”
“What? You, a fallen warrior, dare to hold my hand? Unlike you, I am an elf who has kept my pride!”
Everyone in the room laughed at Lucy’s words.
Even Diana.
“Okay. I don’t know about those of you whose minds have been captured by the demon king.”
I stopped Lucy like that.
“Everyone stay in their seats except for Diana.”
“Yes!”
“Chit.”
Lucy, the elf, and Kush, the high-level rabbit, left her tongue behind and entered the cellar with Diana and Iliad.
“The Iliad.”
“Yes, Demon King.”
“Are you really right?”
As my questions began, Diana cast her spell.
I heard that her soul is a magic that detects the trembling of the Iliad soul.
“Yes. That’s right. It is the Iliad princess who made a contract to kill the emperor.”
Diana nodded her head.
“Good thing. Then the next question.”
I said glaring at her.
“How long can she last?”
“…”
“Let me be honest. It’s your body, but I know that the emperor’s soul isn’t completely sealed just because you woke up.”
The emperor was not a very easygoing person.
If that was the case, I wouldn’t have changed my body for 150 years.
Iliad bit his lip and opened his mouth.
“It’s 12 hours.”
“Is it half?”
“Yes. After that time, my consciousness will be forced to fall asleep and the emperor’s consciousness will wake up.”
“I’ll be bothered.”
“I guess.”
Diana nodded her head this time.
Meant the truth.
“Then is it a complete end if the emperor’s soul is separated from you?”
“I will. I’m not sure, but…”
Can’t be sure
“It won’t be easy to take out the soul itself. The Emperor’s spirit resides deeply in my consciousness and soul.”
Diana opened her mouth, this time nodding her head.
“Perhaps I need to cut out a part of my soul and consciousness.”
“Then what will happen?”
“You will lose your memory. But I don’t know where those memories will go.”
“If not, is there no other way?”
At my question, Diana nodded her head.
As an authority on arts and magic related to her soul, she was probably right.
“Then she must be prepared to lose that memory and separate.”
“Yes.”
“What is the expected range?”
“I don’t know.”
It was a difficult problem.
I asked while looking at the Iliad princess.
“What do you think?”
“… Does not matter. I’m afraid of losing my memory, but if only I could be free…”
In the first place, she was the one who wanted to get away from the emperor and be free.
There was nothing Iliad couldn’t do, even being prepared to sell her country.
“But I have one concern.”
“What is it?”
“Demon King… No, I’m afraid I’ll forget the promise I made with the Demon King.”
“A promise you made with me?”
“Yes.”
“You mean to kill the emperor? If that’s the case, don’t worry. I will keep a promise once made. Even if you forget your promise to give me the empire, I will make you remember it again.”
Princess Iliad, who had pursed her lips as if hesitating at my words, nodded her head.
“Thank you.”
“Did you have something to say?”
“No. Something like that.”
“I get it.”
It looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything.
“Didn’t you say that after 12 hours, the emperor would regain control of your body?”
“That’s right. Because there was a section where I was weak.”
At the end of the Iliad, I saw Diana.
“It reminds me of Leona’s time.”
“… Now Leona has become me too.”
“When the Emperor regains his sanity, we need a way to seal him. Is there?”
“You just need to wear a restraint that can suppress mana.”
At that, I asked the Iliad.
“Are you okay? I’m thinking of filling the restraints 24 hours a day to prevent any unexpected change.”
“… Are you okay.”
“I get it. Diana, prepare the Mana Binding Orb right away.”
“Yes, Demon King.”
“It will be somewhat inconvenient. But I can’t help it, so I’ll have to be patient. Until the soul separation magic is ready.”
“I can hold out anytime. Even if it takes years.”
Diana struck a candle at the Iliad, who was determined.
“A month, two months at the latest.”
“Is that so? Bird, it’s faster than I thought.”
“Of course. Because I already have experience.”
It must have been about Leona Gunn.
The method was different, but in the end, there is a similarity of two souls in one consciousness.
The restraints that Diana brought with her were chains that bound her arms and legs at the same time.
Runes were written in fine print on the restraints to which her chains and shackles were connected.
The shackles filled with magic circles and runes had a strong seal that no magician could break.
“It is an item that can block magic as well as the secrets of blood relatives.”
“Please bear with me for a little while.”
“Yes.”
I shackled Iliad’s arms and legs.
“And for a while I’m going to be locked up in a cellar under this magic-disrupting spell.”
This was the reason I brought the Iliad to the basement.
“Does not matter. Like I said before, you can hold on anytime. This level of restriction is incomparable to the frustration I felt under the emperor.”
Iliad’s expression was unconcerned with the restraining spheres on his arms and legs.
“Aren’t you worried about what I might do?”
At those words, Princess Iliad laughed.
“You’re not going to do that. If I want to be like this myself.”
The princess smiled and emphasized her breast bone.
It was an action that came out of the confidence that I would never attack.
But there was something she didn’t know.
“He hates women who sell themselves vulgarly. It’s okay to betray a woman who believes in me in this way. Watching her face contort with the sense of betrayal is another fun thing.”
“You have bad taste.”
“Because you are the Demon King.”
“…”
I stroked the startled Princess Iliad’s head.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of attacking you right now. You must survive to the end and give me your empire. And…”
I had no intention of violating a woman with a man’s personality.
I don’t like the sudden change to the emperor’s personality in the process of being attacked.
“Joe, I’m a little sorry.”
“You don’t have to try so hard. I won’t attack you right now.”
“… Does it look like something you say on purpose?”
“What?”
“I really want to be attacked by the Demon Lord right now.”
Iliad said with a seductive smile.
“I’m out of my mind. To want to be attacked by the Demon King?”
“For me, he was a knight on a white horse. The demon king Ah, should I say the hero riding the blue dragon?”
Whoops.
Iliad smiled lowly at me and entered the cellar prison on its own.
“I will ask you one thing.”
“What?”
“If I offer the Empire… Will you hug me then?”
“If you really want to.”
At my words, the Iliad princess laughed.
“All right.”
It’s not enough to be locked up on your own, and you’ll even give your body.
The woman’s heart was completely incomprehensible.
Because she never thought there would be a woman who wanted to be corrupted by her own hands.
“Diana, please.”
“All right. Demon King.”
Now, the top priority was to bring out the emperor’s remaining consciousness parasitic on the Iliad’s consciousness as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the Iliad will hold out to ensure that his consciousness is not stolen again by the Emperor.
What I did was simple.
We must endure against the soldiers of the Empire and the Holy Church who are coming to kill the demon king who kidnapped the emperor.
Fort Dorita will be the biggest battleground here.
***
Thump thump.
“Haha.”
The Iliad was scolded for calming its frantically beating heart.
When she opened her eyes for the first time after winning the battle for supremacy with the emperor, she was surprised to see the demon king in front of her.
It was because when she lost consciousness and was dreaming in the illusion created by the emperor, everything the demon king had done came to mind.
He broke into her consciousness to save himself.
And freed her, while at the same time helping her fight the Emperor’s consciousness.
‘Why did I have to be the Demon King?’
He continued to question her until she regained consciousness.
There was only one answer.
It means that he was the most impressive person in her life.
At the same time, it means that she was the most trusted person.
And.
She meant that she was the last guardian spirit in her consciousness that she wanted to save herself if something happened to her.
Support and pillar.
The only being who can save himself from the emperor.
That’s why the Demon King became the starting point of the rift that shattered her fantasy.
Thanks to the help of her demon lord, she came to her senses, and then tried to calm her trembling heart at the appearance of the demon lord she had seen.
Never been like this
Even though I met the demon king several times.
Even when she seduced him by revealing her clothes on her own.
I didn’t feel this way.
Because to her, the Demon King was just one of the objects to be used.
Because she was one of her helpers, like her Lopez, whom she sent to her demon lord, she helped her.
However, in a desperate crisis, when she thought that she had lost all of her body and could no longer see hope, the demon king who appeared was like.
‘He was like a warrior.’
Thump thump.
My heart was beating like crazy.
She couldn’t do anything until she returned to the fortress in the arms of the demon king.
Just.
Thump thump.
She just hoped that the sound of her own heart would not be heard by the Demon King.
She tried to hide her feelings and pretended to admire her fortifications.
In fact, I couldn’t see anything.
What was in the fort, who was there.
In her eyes, only the demon king was visible.
It was so cool to see him devising a strategy to save himself.
The so-called bean pods were washed.
The demon king will need time to save her, he said, and does his best to put her emperor to sleep.
He filled the shackles to block mana as a means.
“Aren’t you worried about what I might do?”
Ah, the kind Demon King. How can you be so sweet
To think that he was worried about me as a prisoner in a situation where he didn’t know when the emperor would return.
“You’re not going to do that. If I want to be like this myself.”
She gathered her chest bone by herself.
I remembered what the demon king had said before.
When she tried to seduce him with her body, she remembered the words of the demon king that she refused.
I don’t know why she did that.
Want to seduce
No, she was just instinct as a woman.
A woman’s instinct to somehow appeal to her own charm.
“You don’t have to try so hard. I won’t attack you right now.”
“… Does it look like something you say on purpose?”
“What?”
“I really want to be attacked by the Demon Lord right now.”
It was sincere.
When he took himself out of the emperor’s illusion, he saw the demon king the moment he got out.
Princess Iliad had her heart stolen.
It just was.
Women have points like that.
The point of suddenly falling in love with a casual opponent.
“I’m out of my mind. To want to be attacked by the Demon King?”
“For me, he was a knight on a white horse. The demon king Ah, should I say the hero riding the blue dragon?”
As she spit out her words, the Iliad realized itself.
A warrior riding a blue dragon.
That’s why she fell for the Demon King.
