Chapter 529 – The Orange End (3)
============================
Perhaps the reason why Ileina shut herself up on the rooftop in the name of writing was to disconnect.
– Fake divinity.
– Imitations of priests.
-The priest who has reigned through lies and vanity.
Until now, I have done my best to achieve prosperity and peace for my people. Because she truly loved her country and her people. That’s why she accepted a heavy fate.
But-.
Eventually, she fell into the abyss.
The girl who was admired for her role as a puppet had to lose everything as the ugly side of the priests who wanted to seize power forever was revealed.
“Chief priest!”
“This is our specialty dish!”
From the head of the priest who symbolized divinity, he became the culprit of hatred and contempt.
However, not all elves in the Liberia Peninsula hated Ilayna.
The Elves, who had achieved prosperity thanks to the excellent selection of the priest, still gave their enthusiastic support. Showing sincere goodwill to Ilana, he showed his respect for her efforts so far.
“Thank you…”
The girl with beautiful silver hair accepted her food with a puzzled look on her face.
It wouldn’t be polite to refuse warm hospitality.
So, while receiving the burdensome stares of the merchants, she put her food in her mouth bit by bit.
“Priestess, it’s cute!”
“To us, you are still the priest!”
Her spirited shouts brought her warmth to the greatly shrunken Il Reyna’s heart. A blush appeared on her beautiful face, which was full of anxiety and nervousness.
I am,
You are still so loved.
Ileina was deeply grateful to Ardena for pushing her back. If she hadn’t pushed her away, she would have continued to suffer in a cold sense of shame.
“… Anyway, I like to meddle.”
“Yes?”
She laughed softly and murmured.
Then Arone asked her question while tilting her head.
“Never mind.”
Should I buy a present on the way back?
What will Ardena like…
Ardena, who is so innocent that she looks blunt, will not be suitable for her accessories. Her best gift would be the capture of her husband, who ran away when the affair was discovered.
“Where did Yushin run away? She certainly wouldn’t have run away to the kingdom of Valois… Were there any hints?”
“No, I didn’t.”
A husband who ran away like a stranger.
Where did you go?
There are no traces.
It was a perfect getaway like a professional runaway at night.
“I should have been there…”
The scene of a couple fight that would have been bloody like Sura-do.
What a waste.
I should have seen the sight.
The wives who have turned into demons and the husband who desperately runs away. He nodded his head as he imagined the scene of bloodshed and sword fighting.
“Actually, didn’t he come back secretly? He might be watching you from hiding in the crowd that has gathered like a cloud.”
“It can’t be. Unless you’re a person who wants to commit suicide…”
If you get caught this time, it’s the end.
Beheading,
Or castrated.
A terrible alternative awaits.
What if you never come back?
Alone and Leticia sighed at the same time.
* * *
The false puppet who deceived his own people by disguising his divinity finally left Valencia Castle.
The hot shouts of support for the slender priest soon aroused the malice hiding in the forest of Valencia. They were murderers trying to promote false divinity.
“Finally, the fake came out.”
“Looks like you’ve been a bit frustrated, haven’t you? Shamelessly… !”
Some of the seekers who believed that Ileina was the reincarnation of the first priest and worshiped her turned into renegades.
And fearing the priest’s reinstatement, the High Elf nobles of the council sent an assassin. It is to remove the aftereffects that may take away wealth and power again.
“Ardena Valencia and Allen Roxfield headed to Maherit. Besides, there is no Demon King Slayer.”
After a long wait, the opportunity has arrived.
It must be a golden moment that will never happen again…
Eliminate false divinity.
I will kill the imitations who shamelessly lead happiness on the subject of deceiving my fellow countrymen.
Assassins gathered from all over the city took advantage of the cloud-like crowd to hide in the city. Then, putting a sharp dagger in his bosom, he approached the place where the priest was.
“Damn it, you got an escort.”
In close proximity to Ilaina, the high elf family ladies stood guard with swords at their waists.
And that’s not all.
Valencian family knights disguised as citizens were everywhere.
Undoubtedly.
Ardena Valencia sent her troops in preparation for an emergency. Indeed, it was a response suitable for a warrior commander with a thorough personality.
“It must be difficult to get through the escorts… You won’t even get close.”
“It might be a trap.”
The footsteps of the assassins with weapons stopped immediately.
Further access is difficult.
If the ambushers close the distance at once, the knights of the Valencian family will undoubtedly come under suspicion.
Do you help
Or do you back off like this?
The assassins, stealthily gripping the hilts, showed nervousness and hesitated to make a decision. Because the odds of success were extremely low.
“Cheak!”
When I was glaring at the girl with silver hair while hiding a sharp murderous intent-.
Something flew
Poo-!
A small orb struck the assassin’s head.
At the same time, sweet juice poured out in all directions.
“What, what! That… Orange?!”
The weapon aimed at the assassin disguised as a tourist was a bright yellow orange.
The assassin, hit by an orange shot with a fastball, collapsed. Seeing as he fell helplessly like a super corpse, he seemed completely stunned.
“Don’t panic.”
“It is not the Valencian family. They don’t know yet.”
The assassins rearranged their posture while trying to hide their agitation.
However, a second victim occurred when an orange that flew in afterward hit the back of the head this time.
Orange,
All of a sudden it’s orange… !
It felt like childish play, like dealing with a child. I urgently followed the trajectory of the orange while vigilantly, but I could not find the culprit at all.
‘Nonsense! In the city, where the crowd has gathered black… How the hell am I going to hit it right?!’
An unexpected blow aimed precisely at the target.
An assassination was discovered.
It was clear that his identity had been discovered by someone who was not from the Valencian family.
Who are you?
Who the hell are you after?
The assassins who vomited fear at the blows that flew in succession stepped back. Even so, the sweet oranges of the forest of Valencia persistently aimed at the heads of the assassins.
Poo-!
Orange flew in again.
The assassins who were aiming for the priest were in danger of being annihilated without even taking out their weapons properly.
“Damn it! Too late!”
“The fallen are helpless. Withdraw like this.”
We lost more than half of our people.
To commit an assassination like this was suicidal.
Shit.
All because of the fruit.
The assassins glared at the oranges that were adorning the bustling streets of Valencia.
“Heuk!”
“How far are you going to ridicule!”
An urgent decision was made to retreat, but the orange, which dealt an unexpected blow, never stopped.
How many more are there?
The assassins, suffering from a series of surprise attacks, looked at the crowd with fearful eyes. And they, like their colleague who fell, fell victim to the oranges.
* * *
I consumed the oranges as if I was disposing of all the remaining ammunition until the end.
I felt sorry for the farmer who must have worked hard to harvest the oranges, but it was inevitable. Because the only weapon I had at the moment was oranges in a paper bag.
“What… Rather like it I will live again.”
Watching the end of the assassins being arrested by the Valencian family, Yushin muttered as he flipped a gold coin.
A lot of money.
To the extent that I can live again and again.
That’s why Yushin decided to forget about the oranges that were desperately consumed.
“A slave who gave a valuable tip. Are you here to buy again?”
“So please give me a thick one.”
Yoo-shin, who had consumed all the oranges to present to the cute demon king, went to the merchant again.
Then he handed over the gold coin and ordered an orange.
“I put it extra thick.”
“As expected, the Valencian forest is kind.”
Eventually, Yushin was handed a paper bag containing oranges from the merchant.
Quite a lot.
That should be enough.
I drew a smile on his lips as I imagined Savnak would be delighted as he munched an orange.
“Hey, flirt!”
“… !”
A slender hand hurriedly grabbed Yushin’s sleeve as he tried to return to the Demon King’s territory.
At that, Yushin turned his head with a grave look in his eyes.
An elf with silver hair.
I ran into the priest who was being targeted by the assassins.
I was expecting
He could hear the slow footsteps running towards him.
“Who’s the flirt, head of the closet guard?”
“It’s a real Yushin!”
He said in a sullen voice.
Then the silver-haired elf opened his mouth with a wide smile.
