Chapter 55 – Theorard Dreams
Demonic realm, sexual love hell.
In the Great Hall of the Grand Duchess, Seredi, the dreamer, knelt down with her respect.
“I, a lowly person, meet the great grand duke who rules over sexual love hell!”
“Me?”
A huge screen made of red speculum.
A short laugh came from behind him.
“That’s funny. Who do you think the guy who can’t even see my toes, let alone my face, see?”
“Ah. I can’t speak……”
“It’s nice to know. If you didn’t know, I would have exploded your body the next moment.”
Seredi’s shoulders tremble with fear.
The farmland of Lerajie, the grand duke of sexual love hell, one of the seven hells of the demon world, and the queen of dreams, favored by the great devil Baal, is more frightening than I thought.
However, it wasn’t that she risked her life to come to the palace to stay in fear.
Seredi, who had regained her composure all winter by taking her deep breaths, stuttered.
“Boo, please forgive me for my rudeness…… Please.”
“Oh. Do I need to go as far as forgiveness? Of course it’s a joke.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Isn’t it a little early to say thank you? I still haven’t heard why you interrupted my rest.”
The figure on the other side of the silk corrected her posture and sat down.
Although she couldn’t see her face, Seredi could tell that Lera Jie was staring this way.
“I heard from the eunuch that you brought some very interesting information. Am I right?”
The minute you say it’s wrong, you’ll die.
Seredi quickly prostrated himself.
“Yes! I have brought information that might be of interest to the Archduke!”
“Really? I want to hear it once. Can you explain?”
“All right! Listen to the minions I made in the human world! Recently, in the middle of the Esteban Empire, a very strange…….”
“Wait a minute. Didn’t I hear you? Don’t shout, speak quietly.”
The Queen’s words are absolute. Seredi immediately lowered his voice.
“Sorry. To continue, it is said that an abnormal situation has been detected in the central part of the Esteban Empire.”
“What is abnormal?”
“Bishop Leviham of the 5th Diocese of the Church of Balance has completely stopped eating and drinking for the past few days and has been muttering to himself from time to time……. To sum it up in one word, it is said that he has become a dead man.”
“Therefore? Did you come here just to report it?”
Some kind of pressure presses against your back.
It was probably Lellajie’s magic. Not wanting to be misunderstood, Seredi vigorously shook his head against the floor.
“Oh no! What I want to tell the Grand Duke is why the Leviham was ruined!”
“Reason?”
“Yes! It is said that Leviham became a dead man exactly after he set foot in the Deharm Mansion. I’ve heard that one of the Inquisitors has suffered similarly! It seems that Viscount Theorard, the head of the Deharm family, was responsible .”
Who is theorard? Where is Deharm’s mansion again? I don’t know, but if that statement is true, it was a story that would be quite interesting from Lerajie’s point of view.
‘You said that the church’s parish leader was turned into a dead man overnight? Is that the same human?’
Is that possible? When you think about it common sense, it doesn’t fit.
If so, I had no choice but to think that a human named Theorad had turned the parish head of the parish into a devastated person with the power obtained by contracting with the devil.
But who? If he had the title of parish head, he must have been someone who knew how to handle divine magic to an extent. There shouldn’t be many demons in the Devil’s Land that can overwhelmingly defeat such a human and turn them into ruins.
‘Isn’t that a contract?’
Wouldn’t it be amazing if the devil’s original power subdued the parishioner, or a human who contracted with the devil and shared the power subdued the human being who became the parishioner? It was something that was difficult to understand.
‘Hmm.’
Lerajie, who was engrossed in thought with his arms crossed, smiled lightly at the sudden thought.
‘Could it be Eligos?’
If it was Eligos, the Grand Duke of the Hell of Religion and the closest aide to Baal, it would have been possible.
The power he accumulated as a demon was of course the most powerful among the grand dukes of hell except for Baal, and Eligos had previously intervened in the affairs of the human world and caused a stir between the church and the witches.
‘That guy must be plotting something again this time.’
It must be a ulterior motive to grow his position in hell by absorbing the anger, madness, and fear of humans.
It was an obvious number, so I laughed for no reason.
‘Then I wonder if I should try putting a spoon on it too.’
Eligos could not be left alone to make his exploits his.
Lera Jie untied her arms and pointed at Seredi with a relaxed gesture.
“My child Seredi. Your information is definitely interesting. So that’s what I’m saying……. Can you find out who the demon made a pact with a human called Theorad? If you succeed, I will share my power.”
A softer tone. Seredi exclaimed vigorously, thinking that her chance for advancement had been opened.
“Yes! I will go to the Deharm Mansion myself and look into Viscount Theorad’s mind!”
*
Next day.
I got out of bed and let out a deep sigh.
‘The next three days…….’
It was good that I made a threat yesterday, but the appointment that I set the time for no reason feels like a shackle.
After being helpless for a while, I turned my head to the window and was started. Seeing that the sun was shining brightly on the courtyard, it seemed that it was already past noon.
‘This.’
It seemed that she overslept because she was tired from being tormented by the elves yesterday. The head of the family, who has to set an example for servants and slaves, is so lax…….
‘Let’s calm down.’
I got up from bed with a pat on the cheek, washed my face and changed clothes.
After checking my outfit in the mirror, I opened the door and came out, wearing the brooch properly.
As I was walking down the hallway, I ran into an elf who came out of the corner. He was carrying a bucket of water and a mop in his hand, probably coming to clean the window in the hallway.
“Master?”
Maybe this is what an unwanted encounter is. I tried to calm my startled heart and arrogantly put my back on my back.
“Why?”
“I thought you woke up a little late today. You don’t look well…….”
It’s because of you, you crazy bitch!
“It’s none of your business.”
“It is, but……. Ah! Earlier, the chief chamberlain said that people from the imperial family had come. Go out into the front yard. I will be waiting for you, Master.”
“At the Imperial Court?”
The reason why the imperial family came to visit the mansion…….
It does exist. Since he completed the artificial rain magic, he must have been rewarded for it.
“Master. Then I’ll go clean the window.”
“Uh? Okay…”
The elf bows his head and walks past me down the hallway.
Something is weird It was nice that he didn’t cling to me like usual and didn’t swarm me, but I couldn’t help but feel something out of place.
‘…… You mean you won’t touch me until the day you have sex.’
It seemed that she would act as a normal maid until the promised time.
Good is good, so let’s not insist on it. I watched the elf wash the windows on tiptoe for a while, then went out into the front yard.
And without realizing it, I took a deep breath.
‘Huh?’
Four carriages were coming into the front yard, escorted by imperial knights in plate armor. The sides of the wagon were all embossed with the pattern of a white lion, highlighting the dignity of the imperial family.
Although I completed the magic with the help of the elves, isn’t that too much of a reward? As I went down the stairs in a somewhat bewildered mood, Harvey, who was talking with Roylen in front of the stairs, turned to me and smiled brightly. I was glad that my cold seemed to be getting better.
“My lord! Did you cough?”
“You slept well. Rather, how is your health?”
“Yes. Now I’m going to have a good time. More than that, Professor Roylen has something to say to the head of the family.”
As she turned her head to her side of her, Ellen looked at me and gave a light bow.
“I see you again. Please forgive the rudeness of visiting without a message. Because Her Highness her, the princess, is so extreme.”
“It’s okay. However, I am worried that the imperial family may have overcompensated me.”
“Gosh. You completed the great magic, but it’s an excessive reward. As I said before, too much humility is poison. Besides, this was specially ordered by Her Highness her, the princess.”
“You mean Her Highness, the princess?”
“Yes. Her Highness, the princess, has a lot of interest in House Theorard.”
Roylen smiled softly and surveyed the view of the front yard. When all four wagons come in, the front yard looks full.
“Two of those four carriages were provided by Her Highness the Princess. One wagon full of gold and silver treasures, and one wagon full of various cultural and academic books.”
“Huh. It’s embarrassing, but for what reason are you giving me grace?”
“Haha. How could I, a mere servant, know the great will of Her Highness her? It would be better for you to hear the details directly from Her Highness her, the princess.”
Do you want to hear it yourself?
“Is Her Highness the Princess stopping by the county?”
“It’s vague, so I can’t give you a definitive answer. However, if the opportunity arises, Her Highness will come to see House Theorard.”
Why the heck did the royal magnate want to see me? An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness crept up, but I couldn’t express my dislike.
“All right. As a subject of the Empire, I also want to see Her Highness her as soon as possible. I would like you to tell Her Highness that you are looking forward to meeting her.”
“Let’s do that. Oh, and that.”
Roylen took the wand out of her arms and tapped the air.
Dig!
The light flickers and a book falls. Roylen held the falling book lightly and showed the cover to Harvey and me. The title of the book was [Secret Tryst with Her Princess].
“Do you know the author of this book? Her Highness, the princess, asked me to arrest the author, so I’m inquiring.”
“Why is the author of the book……. Did I do something wrong?”
“It’s not like that, but Her Highness was quite angry because the author didn’t publish the next volume for three years. He said that if he found the author, he would kill him. Of course, you wouldn’t actually order me to kill him.”
Roylen smiled, but I fell into subtle confusion.
A princess who threatens to kill the author for not writing a book, what the hell is she doing?
Anyway, I don’t know who the author of that book is.
“I apologize to Her Highness her, the princess …….”
“Young master!”
Just as he was about to answer that he didn’t know, Bainen in a shirt approached from the other side.
Judging by the towel draped over her shoulder her, her clothes and her bangs drenched in sweat, she must have been training in the vacant lot near her mansion her.
“What kind of knights and wagons are like this……. Master, have you had an accident?”
“Bainan.”
“Ah. Sorry. The professor is also here. But in her hand her…….”
“Five! Do you know who the author of this book is?”
A blush spread across Roylen’s face. Beinun nodded her head, wiping the sweat with her towel her.
“Yes. Because I wrote that. Three years ago? After the head of the previous generation fell ill with a sudden illness, I could n’t use it because I didn’t have time to take care of him, but now I just let go of his hand.”
Bainen You wrote this? It’s embarrassing to hear for the first time. It wasn’t just me who was perplexed. Roylen as well as Harvey didn’t know what to do and just opened her mouth.
“Haha. It reminds me of the old days I remember that it was quite popular at the time, perhaps because I used historical research well during my mercenary life…….”
Beinun stops talking and she looks around. She seemed to be puzzled by those of us who looked at her with various surprises.
Beinun, who had been still for a moment, frowned at her and added her words to her.
“Why are you all looking at me like that? I haven’t committed any treason.”
