Chapter 198 – Ep.13 – Why Only Me?
The demon king couldn’t understand.
[Why did you come here? You can never defeat me, and even if you kill me, we won’t stop.]
The Demon King was that strong. It was a wall that the princess’ worn-out sword and tired legs couldn’t overcome.
But the princess took up her sword again.
She couldn’t back down.
Princess, you still don’t get it.
However, when the princess inherits this Albator, she will surely understand.
We humans…
There are times when you just can’t back down.
There are times when you have to stick to a decision you made to the end.
[I came to ask for the sins of all the demons who invaded the human world. If I win, leave the human world immediately. And, release all the hostages you took.]
At any cost.
———————————————
It was late afternoon. The sun that had not yet set was slowly declining, and everyone’s hearts were calmly sinking in line with the declining year.
It was when the festival came to an end.
Everyone was in the middle of taking a break for the night’s festivities.
A two-hour break to avoid Mudriel’s scorching sun. Even the participants in the festival had to stop for a while and take a rest in the shade with a cool drink.
Due to the special ceremony Delrin and Nitocrio performed, the women’s voices were slightly higher than usual, and their cheeks were slightly flushed.
And there are three women who pass between such citizens. They were in the middle of moving their steps, not even paying attention to the beating sun.
“It doesn’t matter if I kill those bastards, right?”
The copper-colored thief asked the white knight. No. It seems that it was more like a notice than a question.
The knight kept his mouth shut for a moment and thought about it, then shook his head slowly in place of an answer…
“There is no need to kill. I’ll take responsibility and convince you, so please fight just enough to get me out of the battle… Army.”
“Eh. Yes, you’ll be fine. To see them as former subordinates. Later, when those bastards come to draw a knife, you take responsibility and stop them.”
“I get it. Thank you.”
I’m still at a loss, but have I gotten a little closer? In the midst of ambiguous titles and awkward distance towards each other, the two care about each other in their own way.
However, the woman in black who follows them doesn’t say anything, and she doesn’t engage in any conversation.
“Hey.”
Only when the thief calls in a sharp voice does he answer with a formal smile.
“Why would you call me?”
“But why are you really following me?”
“Wouldn’t it be heartbreaking if the two of you got hurt? It would be safe if I or Chichi-san followed along, but Chichi-san says that he will be by Delrin’s side… “
“Ah, what. Like that.”
After the thief finishes the conversation, he turns his head and concentrates on his work.
“To the southeast from the square in front.”
They are chasing someone.
And, Riko’s sharp eyes stare at ‘someone’ far away.
“If you go in there… There is an alley in about 20 seconds. Knock out there Run on your own.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the knight and the rogue were torn in two. The thief climbed up the building and moved from above, while the knight ran and sped up.
The only one walking was the archbishop.
There is a woman who cares about them. She is cleaning her banquet hall for dinner, but rearranging her plans with her head, unlike her busy hands.
She ordered the three knights who had followed her to join the main unit again, and they should be heading back to the camp by now.
There was no way that the knights going around like that would not be followed and pursued. A cunning thief would definitely stick to the side of killing knights himself out of vengeance or wanting to get things done, and with that bitch, Delrin’s prostitutes wouldn’t have to go the hard way.
They secretly pursue the knights joining the main force, and probably launch an attack unexpectedly. All will die
It doesn’t matter.
The Queen doesn’t care about the deaths of the knights.
In any case, the pursuing party will attack the returning knights and use them. You can steal their clothes to disguise your identity, maybe you can use them by threatening them…
“Tye, is something good happening?”
“Sure. Today is a good day.”
“Hmm. Is it. Everyone feels sad when the festival is over, but you are special.”
Now you don’t have to worry about that.
Knights will fight for their lives,
Those disgusting prostitutes must be looking for me, desperately trying to kill me somehow, right?
“It’s good to laugh, though. Tee. It’s gotten a lot brighter. Thank god.”
“Oh, no!”
It seems that the smile came out of nowhere. It’s not an irritating laugh that causes the muscles around the cheeks and mouth to twitch, but for some reason, it seems like it’s a really sincere smile.
“You are pretty when you smile. That’s your strength, Tiye. Because the other Dark Elves rarely laugh.”
“Thank you. You even compliment me.”
It is love.
Do you know how great love is?
Love brings a smile to lips that have never smiled in their lives. The smile the queen shows now is like that of an innocent and pitiful girl, making her feel like a different person.
The queen hums her song. The thought that she will soon be able to meet Delrin excites her.
But she, on the contrary, her queen’s hand trembles with her tension. If she misses this opportunity, she will never see Delrin again.
“Ah, tonight is a good night. Mr. Neteryam. Really.”
“Okay. Enjoy the last night of the festival.”
Through her long, drooping eyes, the queen watches the dark elves closely. In this busy place preparing dinner, something mysterious begins to feel cluttered.
Some Dark Elves wanted to talk for a while and then ran somewhere. One of those watching them approaches to hear what’s going on, and soon steps forward with a serious face.
It started. From now on, an irreversible future is approaching.
“Can I go to the bathroom for a minute? It looks like you drank too much earlier. A signal came… “
“Okay. Go slow It’s okay to take a little break.”
The Queen makes a suitable excuse to allow her to go alone, and she cautiously traverses the interior of Nitocrio’s palace.
She should start preparing now. If the King’s health deteriorates rapidly, the Dark Elves’ response will also become urgent.
So, quickly approach the vicinity of the king’s sleeping quarters…
“There! You!”
“Me?”
“That, yes. Go get some water right now. And call all the attendants you see. Hurry!”
Take one of her orders
From now on, she stayed around Nitto Crio’s bedroom, while she acted as a servant without hesitation.
When she dies coughing up her blood, she only needs to shed a few tears.
All you have to worry about is Delrin. She just needs to get close to Delrin by playing at everyone’s gaps while acting moderately.
Seongguk’s heretic child, steeped in alcohol and cigarettes, is an incurable poison. Similarly, witches and the like can’t even dare to heal.
So, it is natural for Nitocrio to die, and Delrin tries to investigate this case with her abilities. It is certainly.
If you think about it from Delrin’s point of view, who dared to abandon herself and run away, she wouldn’t be able to abandon Nitocrio, whom she was already quite attached to.
The Queen recalls the image of the two of them on her altar. The two are quite close. Never give up
Anyway, if things go like that, you should approach Delrin, who will be wandering around investigating the before and after Nitocrio’s assassination.
I’m still not sure where I’ll return to, but it’s not a big deal because I can think about it at that time.
… Really big problem.
“You don’t have to look at me like I lost the whole world. It’s not even that hard of a magic… ? Huh… ?”
The problem is that disgusting witch who noticed something while examining Nitocrio.
“Wait for a sec… Hmm… Uh… First… “
No. Even if you notice it, there’s no way you can fix it. A disease that has already progressed considerably, unless it is by the authority of a god…
“Cure.”
Short order.
Brilliant blue crystals quietly pour out of the magic circle, and as they circle around Nitocrio, they fade like melting snow.
The queen’s eyes waver. This makes no sense. I have never seen such a sight in my short life.
When she used the ‘medicine’ on her parents, she couldn’t cure all the healers, even the eminent ones from her kingdom.
“Well, I’m not an expert in healing magic, but this should be better than prayers using divine power.”
Just one witch can fix that?
It can’t be. It makes no sense. How? Was that witch that strong?
The Queen hastily revises her plans.
How will things go if Nitocrio doesn’t die?
She’s cured of everything, but the search for the truth will continue.
Then, the only ones on the line of her dragon are herself and the Dark Elves. Delin and the women who healed Nitocrio right in front of him are naturally treated as lifesavers and get out of the line of suspects.
No. Things got messed up
Shouldn’t be like this…
“Ah… “
I can’t.
The atmosphere is strange.
The queen’s nervous pupils regain her normal rhythm. Her gaze lingers on Delrin and Nitocrio for a while.
An unknown current is felt from the two boys who are holding her hands. From Delrin, who lowered her head, and from Nitocrio, who turned her head…
“… Don’t worry and leave.”
A small murmur is heard.
With the witch, with her he and her disciple, with the wolf-man,
While all the other Dark Elves are making a fuss,
Only the queen’s gaze stays on the two boys.
However, her expression darkens.
It feels like something disgusting is about to jump out of the inside.
Delrin’s expression as she looks at Nitocrio lingers in the Queen’s head for a long time. The Queen can’t take her eyes off the expression.
Along with a nasty headache, slowly seething anger and a sense of betrayal rush in.
How,
How the hell can you make a face like that?
What are you sorry for?
What do you like?
Even in the Queen’s eyes, Nitocrio’s affectionate feelings can be seen. The Queen is unconcerned with her own feelings, but she is always easily aware of the feelings of others.
However, the queen can’t understand what Delrin is showing.
Does she make that kind of face because the boy she’s only been with for a few days says she misses it a bit?
Why? This is kinda weird
Wasn’t it like that for me?
You’ve never shown that kind of face to me, who I’ve been with for a month. She never told me she was sorry, never hesitated.
She sticks to sluts who don’t even know where she ate them and eats them, glaring at me…
“… “
You hated it so much… ?
The Queen pulls out her bracelet and she approaches Delrin. Not many people care about her. Even the girls of Delrin are surrounded by Dark Elves.
The queen is in control of her emotions in her moments. She does what she has to do.
“Delrin. Would you like to rest for a while?”
The Queen, who always served her, asks her Delrin, using her honorifics.
The voice that suppressed emotions rather strengthened the way of speaking of the Dark Elves.
“Yes, yes… Wait for a sec… “
Her Queen’s heart is also complicated whenever she sees Delrin confused about her affair with Nito Crio.
“Shall we go?”
Still, the queen maintains her composure.
Again she smiles slowly, she repeats to herself.
It’s because our Delrin has a lot of affection.
He’s a good kid who cares even for the poor bitches.
Did you already know
Trying to save Nitocrio was all part of the plan.
“Yes, yes… “
Maybe when they see me, they’ll make the same expression as they do now.
I don’t know if you’ve been sorry for me all this time.
Ah. Huh. That’s it.
He thought of me while looking at that stupid little king.
Well, there’s no way he acted that way to me. Dare to me for this.
“Huh.”
Okay. I really met you again
Thank you for allowing me. No, maybe I didn’t need all of this plan I’ve concocted?
The apologetic feelings toward Nitocrio, of course, come to me. Yes?
I was very sorry that you trampled on my heart like that. That’s why I’m superimposing my image on that black boy. Good. Now I get it front and back are right
It’s a common mistake. If your dog dies, you’ll be nicer to the next dog.
Just like I am the queen of Albator, that little girl is also the king of Mudriel after all. No wonder.
Delrin, you have changed a lot too.
The child who looked like a timid kitten when we first met is now really… Talk like a man
I think I’ve changed a lot too.
There is me I’ve been thinking a lot. I’ve been thinking about your relationship with me, and about those girls you’ve been hanging out with…
I was so angry I didn’t know what to say. Huh. I’ve never been so angry in my life. Still, I mean…
I can forgive as much as you Really.
“… ?”
Now that I understand the situation, I love even your erratic appearance,
I love you even the stupid way you spend your emotions on things that have no use or meaning.
“It’s been a while?”
Long time no see.
I can finally look at your face that I have only looked at from afar. Now.
So show me too. The look of you crying a little and saying you’re sorry.
Sorry for all this time actually loved me
It’s so nice to see you again…
However, Delrin’s face, already pale enough to turn pale, was dripping with cold sweat.
“Road… Road… “
It was a reflex reaction. Delrin pronounces the two letters ‘Lord’ accurately and clearly to hold on to the only rope that will save her.
However, nothing changes.
What is in front of his eyes
A space where you don’t know where it is,
“… Our dog.”
Even with a cold face, there is only the image of the queen with a smile on her lips.
And soon even the smile on the corner of the queen’s mouth strangely bends and disappears.
Instead, the queen’s facial muscles twitch slightly, as if something had gone firmly awry.
“I can’t load here. It’s a subspace where time flows separately, so I can’t use other abilities.”
Power goes into the Queen’s hands. It gripped Delrin’s slender wrist, and soon gave it strength enough to crush something,
“Lo, Rod. Road… ! As… Whoa… ! Ah, it hurts! Sick! Aww!”
The boy freaks out and tries to free her hand, but the queen refuses to let go of her wrist.
“… Because it won’t load.”
Why only me
Only for me
Why am I the only one like this?
Why only me?
