Chapter 234 – Abduction: Reasons for Loyalty
“This is enough…….”
Pulling down on her leash from her ceiling, Bonro Ellen exhaled her exhausted breath and brushed her hand. Her knot her didn’t come undone, and she pulled with all her might her, but she didn’t move, so she was qualified to commit suicide.
Grasping her leash with her trembling hands, Roylen looked back on how her own life had come to be.
‘I…….’
Born as the son of a serf in a remote territory, Roilen’s hair has been flying ever since she was young.
Even though her illiterate parents didn’t teach her, she was able to learn her language by self-taught, and was a type addict who read every book in the village.
So, Roylen, who had more knowledge than her peers, gave generous advice to the village elders based on what she knew, and the adults regarded her as a specialty of the village and lavished praise on her.
The rumor that a genius was born in the village flowed into the ears of the lord, and the lord, who was interested, went out to inspect the village and exchanged simple stories with Roylen.
At that time, the lord, who peeked at Roylen’s magical insight and talent her, made a suggestion. He said he would write a letter of recommendation with the authority of the lord, so why don’t you go to the Mage’s Tower and study?
Roylen, who had not expected such words to come out of the lord’s mouth, was taken aback, but his worries did not last long. When he heard that he could read as much as he wanted if he went to the Magic Tower, he immediately replied that he would try it.
‘…… I should have refused.’
Roilen, who entered the Magic Tower, was ignored by his classmates because he was a lowly citizen, but he was persistent in his studies. Because he thought that the only way to be recognized by those who look down on him in the Mage Tower, which puts skill first, is to study.
Thanks to this, Roilen was able to restore his friendship his and graduate from the Mage Tower with decent grades. Roylen, who wanted to continue to focus on magic research even after graduation, volunteered to go under the guidance of professor Ailesay.
After his perseverance, Roilen, who was appointed as a full-time professor, became an assistant professor at Isle Say, allowing him to pursue his personal research. Although he was busy assisting full professor Aile Say, he continued his research in his spare time.
After 7 years, Roylen finally completed a thesis titled 『The Correlation between Proportional Deterrence Strategy and Mutually Assured Destruction based on Dark Magic and Divine Power and Quantification of Mana Consumption Efficiency According to Each Magic』.
The dissertation, which he completed while staying up all night, was so perfect that no flaws could be seen anywhere.
However, he did n’t know that there might be errors, so Roilen asked Aile Say, a full professor and his teacher his, to inspect it. Without knowing that it was an irreparable mistake.
‘Isle say…… That son of a bitch…….’
A few days later. Roylen hears the news that a new giant has been born in the world of magic.
Curiosity aroused, Roylen dug deep into the news and found out that the main character of the news was Ailsay, whom she was aiding.
Ilsay disguised Roylen’s thesis and research results as his own and published them. At that time, Roylen, who felt a strong sense of betrayal and shock, protested against the research foundation and the Mage Tower and even tried to file a lawsuit, but all were defeated.
This is because Ailsay was related to Duke Brillt Adenoel, who is said to be the most influential person in the current imperial family, while Roylen was the son of a serf who was only a lowly citizen.
Only then did Roylen realize the reality. He said that there was no place for the lowly, even in the Mage’s Tower, which advocated the principle of skill.
“…….”
Yet, for some reason, the tears do not come out. Maybe you’ve known it for a long time. In a society where caste system prevails, ‘equality’ is an impossible word.
Roilen laughed bitterly at her, put her head on her leash and took a deep breath. Finally, Roylen, recalling her fond memories of her, knocked over the chair she was stepping on.
“…… Shut up!”
A sudden shaking of vision. When the chair supporting the body disappears, a leash is tightly tied around the neck. The rough texture of the neckline sweeps up the skin and touches the bottom of the chin.
Roilen instinctively grabbed her by the leash and struggled, but it was not enough to get her out of her.
“Turn off…… Kuhh……”
Consciousness slowly fading away. Her eyes her widen and her mouth her naturally opens. Her struggled body her calms down and her hand her holding her leash slowly slides down.
You’re really dying now Well, it was a world without regrets anyway. It was a time when Roylen, who had given up on her life, was trying to humbly accept her death her.
Abruptly-
The sound of something being cut. At the same time, the body floats. No, it falls
Coudangtang—!
Rolling to the floor, Roylen opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth wide.
“Huh!”
Ironically, as she had just decided to die, her body was breathing deeply for her to live. Roilen inhaled and exhaled her drooling and coughing out several times, barely bringing her back to her senses and raising her head.
“…… A sick bastard.”
A voice as cold as ice. Benellia, a girl with her black ashy hair hanging down to her waist her, looked down at her with her gold narrowed sharply.
Roylen, who was breathing close to a rustle, could only comprehend the situation when she saw the sword Benelia was holding in her hand her. The princess in front of her had interfered with her attempt to commit suicide.
Okay. Disturbing After hearing this, Illen clenched her fists and shouted.
“Sick? Did you call me sick now? … !”
“Okay. Is it wrong to call an asshole and an asshole?”
“What do you know about me? This bitch…… !”
I swore to die anyway. Roilen would not bend even if the girl in front of her was the princess.
“Don’t think that the four years who were born and raised in the imperial family know about me! On the topic of flowers in a greenhouse that would have lived without any worries or worries…… !”
Benelia lifted her foot and trampled her Roylen’s hand her. Kwajik! As Roylen manages to hold back her screams that are about to burst out, her girl gets down on one knee.
“Shut up. Before tearing her mouth open.”
An unknown hatred and rage swirled in Benelia’s voice hers. Despite her decision her to die, her primal fear her seeps into Roilen’s mind. As Roylen bowed her head in silence, Benelia clicked her tongue in pity.
“…… He’d be such a sick bastard. At least I thought it would help me.”
At Benelia’s words her, Roylen, who bit into her teeth her, responded nervously.
“If you’re looking for something to throw away, go. I no longer want to be taken advantage of.”
“You’ve been talking about things you don’t understand. I’m not here to take advantage of you, I’m here to make a deal.”
“Stop that flattery. Even Ilsay said that to me at first-“
“I am the culprit who killed Orquell the Millennium.”
I don’t understand the context of the conversation. Embarrassed, Roylen raised her head and looked at her Benelia.
“What the hell are you talking about…….”
“The Orc Conquest War. How could I, who was only 12 at the time, seize the military power of the Thousand People?”
Benelia, who was sent to the front line as Orkell’s adjutant at the time, gave Orkel advice on her strategy and tactics to her as a staff officer.
However, Orkel did not trust her Benelia, who was only 12 years old, and despised her coy demeanor her as an outcast in her imperial household.
In the end, Orkel ran the unit alone. As a result, about 300 soldiers died in droves without making any significant progress.
Even so, Orkel spent his time drinking in the command barracks without reflection or regret.
If it continues like this, the unit will be destroyed. After making her judgment, Benelia killed Orkel in the next round and rose to the position of commander according to military law.
“People say that the orcs attacked the back ranks of the camp and took Orkel’s life his. Half right and half wrong It’s true that the orcs did a surprise attack, but it was me who killed Orkell.”
Despite confessing to her murder her, Benelia’s expression her was expressionless. Her expression of her, which seems to be lacking in guilt, is creepy at first glance.
“I have no regrets. If I kept entrusting the unit to that idiot, neither I nor his soldiers would have been able to return alive. Even if I could turn back time, I would kill Orkell.”
Roylen’s eyes trembled in dismay. I couldn’t understand why Benelia was suddenly saying this.
Reading Roylen’s expression her, Benelia pulls one of her small rings her from her bosom her. She handed it to Roylen.
“Take it.”
“This…….”
“It is a memorial artifact. Everything I just said is recorded. If you want, you can sell it to my political opponent for a high price.”
“Uh, why…….”
“Don’t you want trust? This is the proof.”
By giving your weakness to the other person, you solidify his trust in him. That was Benelia’s strategy for dealing with her wounded Roilen.
As Roylen swallowed her saliva and accepted her ring her, Benelia stood up as if her business was over. As she releases her foot that was trampling on Roylen’s hand, her faint moan her echoes.
“What I want you to say is after I punish Ailesay. In the meantime, take good care of the ring.”
Benelia turns her around and walks toward her open door. Right before Benelia left her doorstep, Roylen opened her mouth amid her sobs.
“I understand, I don’t understand. What kind of advantage can I and Your Highness gain from this mysterious transaction?”
What could be gained by attracting a mere assistant professor to one’s side? To that question, Benelia resolutely recited.
“Life.”
The shortest answer in the world, paradoxically, contained numerous meanings.
“That’s it. Roylen.”
Thanks to this, Roilen had no choice but to bow her head.
*
“…… I am going to put the contents of this in the biography of His Majesty the Emperor.”
Whoops. Benelia, who was sitting at her desk, couldn’t help her expression of disgust at Roylen’s pompous remarks her.
“You’re struggling because you want to die.”
“Uh, yes? But it actually happened and it’s going to be a great joke…….”
“You’re getting sick. Who would say that someone is compiling biographies on their own?”
But this is an imperial tradition…… The word was Roilen, which filled her throat, but she couldn’t bear to say it. It’s clear that she doesn’t like it, but if you grab her by the tail, you’ll get angry.
“It’s okay, so come here and help me with this.”
“Ah, yes.”
Roylen, who hurriedly answered, approaches Benelia. Looking closely at what she was doing, she saw that Benelia was manipulating her location notes her with clumsy hands.
“Ah. It’s a location note. I am a little surprised.”
“What.”
“I didn’t know that His Majesty would be interested in the Location Note.”
“They say young people these days do it all. Because I don’t want to fall behind the times.”
…… Young today? Is that what comes out of Benelia, who is only 25 years old? Benelia innocently blinks at her as she stars at her incredulously.
“…… Why?”
“Hmm. It’s nothing. Can you tell me what’s harder than that?”
“Okay. I don’t quite understand how to send a message. Add friends with Theorad? I did that.”
You really don’t know anything. Frustrated, Roylen manipulated the location note and opened a private chat window with Theorad.
“Now, just write what you want on the location note and the message will be sent to the other person.”
“Oh my.”
Benelia, who was staring curiously at the location note screen, raised her quill. But she has no next move. She had just stopped holding the quill.
As she waits for a while, Benelia carefully lowers her quill and places it on her notebook her. The tip of one of her pens she did not intend to move.
Roylen, who was frustrated by that, helped her by her side of her.
“Are you nervous? The fact that you send a message to someone you love.”
“What, what!”
Startled, Venelia glares at Roylen fiercely.
“Gee, tension is a plague! Do as much bullshit as you can!”
I was nervous. I was so pathetically nervous.
“If you are not nervous, why not just write as if you are talking normally?”
“Of course. That much I know.”
Benelia, blatantly tongue-tied, grabs her pen again. Taking a deep breath, Benelia wrote down her words with her trembling hand.
▷ Viscount Theorard. Reply if you see it’s yellow
A more businesslike tone. Thanks to this, Roilen couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“Your majesty of her. She told me to address her as usual, what command is she giving.”
“…… Is it strange?”
“It is very strange. If I were Viscount Theorard, I would wonder why I was like this.”
Benelia hesitated for a moment, perhaps in her shock her, then she hurriedly moved her quill.
▷ It’s a joke. It’s not a command, so answer slowly.
Then she smiles triumphantly, as if she’s made up for her mistakes. It’s ridiculous. She was so ignorant of love that she didn’t know where to start pointing it out.
As Roylen watched her fisheye and her dumbfounded face her, Theo Rad, who had received her message her, replied to her.
▶ Your Majesty. How happy she is to exchange stories via location notes. Are you familiar with the location notes?
Despite Benelia’s eccentric remarks of her, she gives a truly standard answer. As expected of Theo Rad, when Roilen smiled happily, Benelia sighed and immediately closed her location note her.
“…… Your majesty?”
Suddenly, however, she stared at her, but Benelia bit her lower lip hard and did not move. It is truly bizarre to see her as if she has become a wooden stone.
“Lauren.”
Benelia’s voice her trembled slightly as she stared straight ahead.
“I saw Theorard’s ID.”
“Yes? Wouldn’t that be natural?”
“Then, wouldn’t that mean that Theorard also saw my ID?”
“That is true, but…… Did you create a strange ID?”
Benellia softly nodded her head.
“Theo…… Said.”
“Well. I think that’s fine. Isn’t she just shortening her name?”
“Behind…”
Benelia’s face grew redder.
“I put a heart on the back.”
Heart? So to sum it up, Benelia’s ID she became 『Theo ♥』. It is like a black history that she committed because she knew that her ID would only be visible to her.
Confessing her own embarrassing mistake, Benelia closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists. It’s like an adolescent girl denying reality.
‘This is so…….’
Did she say that if she makes love she becomes a fool. Laughing, Roylen decided to stay beside her Benelia and explain her location notes from start to finish.
I didn’t want this stupid majesty to experience any more failures in love. Perhaps, it seemed like a long way to go.
