Chapter 225 – Happy Ending (01)
The body recovered quickly.
Priestess Beace has maintained her own abilities, unlike other priestesses who have replaced her [Her Her Duty Mater] Trait with her [Her Her Her Valkyrie of Battle].
It seemed as if she decided that there would be a time like now when she would need her skills.
Thanks to that, she was able to recover all of her abilities in one go.
‘It’s a fraud, it’s a fraud. ‘I have nothing to say even if I eat the balance patch’
Of course, she no longer has to train [Compulsory Mass] At the temple, and she and I have lost the [Compulsory Mass] Ability, so she no longer appears.
The Five Elements of Absence of Mind disappeared, and my body no longer radiated negative energy or accepted the energy of Mother Nature to increase its abilities.
Fortunately, the stats didn’t stop at 5, but at 600, as if they didn’t take away the stats that had already been raised, so it was still usable.
Instead, all the characteristics I had gathered as a companion trainee were lost.
Not only the [Obligation Master] Trait mentioned earlier, but also the [Sword Master], [Shadow Ninjutsu], [Star Wizard], And [Golem Maker] Abilities were all lost.
Looking at my face reflected in the mirror, I wrote on it with a brush slightly dipped in black dye.
[No characteristics] Aren.
“…Well, the player is up here…”
Erase the black dye and write on it again with a brush dipped in golden dye.
[The one who doesn’t give up] Aren.
“It’s not bad.”
I wonder if this is a characteristic, but guess what? It doesn’t actually have that characteristic, it’s just ‘self-proclaimed’.
When I erased the writing on the mirror and went out of the Donggung Palace, people were waiting for me with a nervous look.
“Eggplant.”
“Yes, Lord Aren.”
Finally, the duke’s rebellion was defeated and the devil was defeated.
In the meantime, my power, influence, and expertise became the number one contributor that no one could ignore, and above all, I was close to the Sailians, so no minister could ignore me.
There is also talk that I will take the place of the disappeared duchy of Renellian and create a new duchy.
But there was work to do before that.
Now that the war was over, it was time to deal with the prisoners.
“Woowoo!!”
Citizens, soldiers, and knights gathered at the square where the coronation ceremony was previously held.
Richard, who had already been commissioned as a knight, tried to make the angry people retreat, but the citizens, who were already filled with anger deep within their bones, did not easily retreat.
What they are booing is the duke’s daughter.
She was Ophelia de Renelian, called the Witch of Red Flame.
Ophelia was wearing her shabby clothes and looking around with her anxious eyes.
She was raging everywhere, throwing eggs and tomatoes, and luckily her soldiers gave her plenty of room to spare, so she didn’t reach Ophelia.
Still, it would be difficult to handle her sinister atmosphere and tens of thousands of scary stares.
‘Now… It’s the beginning’
“Your Majesty the King!”
When the king of flash, Sailyan, came out, people stopped booing and bowed.
Since it seemed like today wasn’t going to be a good day, we left Teacher Karen and her young son, but it was still Cylian who looked very uncomfortable.
Sailian, who arrived escorted by Kay, who had become the captain of the guard, looked confused at the surrounding situation, but sat down with a solemn expression.
People around her told her to grow a beard to create a solemn appearance, but her wife, Teacher Karen, desperately opposed it, so the young king cared her neat chin.
Of course, since he was a king who had personally played an active role on the front line against the duke faction, people could not easily look down on him.
“Raise your head.”
Ophelia, whose arms and legs were bound with chains, raised her head with an expression as if she was about to cry.
“Woo! How dare you look into His Majesty’s eyes with the cursed eyes of a witch!”
“We must kill him immediately!!”
Even the Cylians seemed to be out of breath as they watched the square becoming more and more angry.
But that doesn’t mean we can leave behind the core nobles who surrendered after the war.
Cylian raised his hands as he looked at Ophelia, who was trembling in fear.
“I know that you did not actively participate in the rebellion and even surrendered, but the guilt of a traitor who massacred an entire continent does not disappear.”
The Cylian stands up as if he has made a decision.
“That is why I pronounce the death penalty on Ophelia de Renelian, the witch of the Red Flame.”
“Waaaaa!!”
This is truly justice. People were enthusiastic about the results they wanted.
Watching that scene, when some people tried to impress the Cylians, I appeared in this situation where no one could move.
“Your Majesty. I have something to say.”
The cheers of the people burning with madness subside.
I don’t know where it spread, but people knew that I was trying to save Ophelia, and there was even a rumor in the beginning that I ran away for love with Ophelia and joined the duke faction.
Thanks to you, the people can’t believe it? Forgive the duke’s dirty blood now? He was looking at me with that expression.
‘Have you been enduring something like this?’
They are not bad.
For these people, the lineage of the duke faction is an enemy that they would not mind tearing to death.
Speaking of guilt-by-association… This is a fantasy world, especially since guilt-by-association is still alive.
There are so many people whose family members were conscripted and taken away and killed by the communist faction or sacrificed, so how can they be easily forgiven?
Even if Ophelia was caught and experimented on in the beginning and committed no crime.
More than people liked me, they wanted Ophelia to be destroyed.
So, what people want is for me to cut myself off to remove any connection with Ophelia.
“Whoa.”
Take a deep breath and repeat to yourself.
“You can do it, Aren.”
Although I no longer have the power of my mysterious ‘voice’, I give myself courage and shout with a lot of strength in my stomach.
“Do you think the Red Flame Witch will die just by cutting off her head?”
People were silent at my question.
They also knew how tough the demons were to survive, and that even if they were cut into pieces, they would not die without the help of Valkyries or other priests.
“And, for those who have committed such sins, wouldn’t it be mercy to simply kill them?”
Only then did people speak loudly.
“Does Lord Aren have a good idea?”
“You just have to live and inflict greater humiliation.”
I approached Ophelia, who was shaking.
“And I have some good stuff.”
Lift both arms that are hanging by chains and grab the belly of the cheap dress covering the body.
I fed Ophelia the pill I was holding in my hand.
“Ah… Si… I hate it…!”
“Ah, that is…!”
‘I knew it. I recognize you’
Ophelia tried to struggle, but she forced her mouth open and fed her the pill, after which she noticed that the pill had dissolved in her mouth and disappeared.
Ji-profit!
He showed me the boat.
People were surprised when Ophelia’s white abdomen was revealed, but soon they began to be surprised when a black vulva began to creep over it.
“Aaaaah!”
“So, the rumor was true…!”
“Now this is mine. I can do whatever I want with it.”
People were trembling at the sight of the clearly engraved vulva.
There were rumors that I had sex with women, and Alice, who came back after the war, wrote in her autobiography that she took pills from me during her school days and that she couldn’t resist.
The people gathered here were also able to know what medicine was given and what this symbol meant.
“Now tell me, the Witch of Red Flame. Who am I?”
“Ah… Lord… Master…”
I held Ophelia’s chin, which was trembling as if she was trying to force her to refuse, and gave her something to eat.
“He seems to be a bit reluctant now, but not anymore. Hehe… Your Majesty, I will… Use this vicious witch well. Is that okay?”
People were already overwhelmed by the atmosphere and were only looking at Cylian, and Cylian also looked shocked and took her eyes off Ophelia.
“Do whatever you want Sir. It would be more painful to give it to you.”
“I don’t… I don’t like… I’d rather… Kill… Cylian… Kay… Other… Friends… Kill… Give me. ..”
Ophelia, shivering, rolls her eyes and faints.
As if I didn’t care, I grabbed her long red hair and started dragging her.
“I’ve wanted to get it since I was in school. Hehe…”
Dragging her body, she went through the crowd.
People who were already overwhelmed by the atmosphere were watching Ophelia being dragged to the Winter Palace and me laughing with crazy expressions without even thinking about stopping me.
* * *
“It’s okay. Wake up.”
“It hurts!”
Ophelia’s eyes were filled with tears as soon as she entered the winter palace, perhaps because her skin was scratched as she was dragged.
If she had been a demon’s body like before, she would have regenerated quickly, but her demon lord disappeared and she was revived with my [Obligation Mass] Ability, except for a little demonic energy flowing through her, she was no different from an ordinary person.
“Whoa… I’m glad.”
There was already a lot of thought about how to dispose of Ophelia, the daughter of Duke Renellian.
At first, I tried to ask for a pardon by putting all my achievements on the line, but Cylian told me that if I did that, I might later be accused of being a traitor and that I should maintain my status as a public servant.
So this is the result of my friends putting their heads together and thinking about it.
To take Ophelia under my command because it would cause her Ophelia more pain than her own death her her her.
Even if no harm was done to her under the excuse that she cannot be killed because she is a demon anyway, it is not noticeable on the outside.
All you have to do is say that internal executions or cruel torture are being carried out as much as possible.
Of course, there will be those who doubt, but at least they won’t be able to mess with the Cylians and I while our eyes are open.
“Ehehe…”
“Don’t laugh, idiot. From now on, you are officially my slave.”
“It’s been like that for several years.”
The pills I fed were the pills of beginner enslavement.
I fed one to William and the other to Alice, but there was only one item left due to the level limit.
It was of no use to Ophelia right now anyway, and since she lost her companion training ball, it was an item that could not be enslaved, but I never thought it would be so useful.
Oh, and the vulva was originally erased when the accompanying practitioner disappeared, but it was just re-engraved to make it look good.
Inori, who was not present, used her [Shadow Ninjutsu] To make it look like her vulva was being engraved.
“It’s okay. If I catch you later, you can always… Execute me.”
That’s how I saved Ophelia.
“Okay, now… Is it time to choose…”
Now it’s time to propose, but I had six heroines.
I had to think about happiness in my own way, but suddenly anxiety took over my body.
“…What should we do if we divide it into six pieces and take them?”
