Chapter 199 – (Aware of Impoverishment) Ep.13 – Happy Ending (1)
… You asked what happened?
Uhm-
In fact, this story is about the courage and great spirit of a confident princess even though she stood in front of the demon king…
The content of the end is different for each speaker.
In one faded book, it is written that the demon king, admiring the princess’ spirit, stopped the war and became a friend.
In the song of an unknown bard, they finally defeat the demon king, save a beautiful prince, and get married.
I’m not even sure what’s true.
But, princess, what’s the point?
After all, everyone praises and worships her. We offer sacrifices for our distant ancestors…
That’s what’s important.
The princess lived happily ever after.
Even in each story, there is only one thing that always stays the same.
That the princess was happy
That she married the wonderful prince she saved from the devil and lived happily ever after.
———————————————
It was bizarre. It’s a situation I’ve pictured in my head hundreds of times, but the story that came to reality was quieter and more desolate than expected.
All I can feel is the more realistic facial expressions and emotions. The queen felt dizzy as she confronted the real emotion from the boy’s face.
“Ro, Ro… “
Her cute lips, befitting her petite frame, were already blue. Delrin, who trembled at her words as much as her quivering eyes, soon shut her mouth and silenced her voice.
Her moan escaped from her lips as the pain gripped her wrists, but Delrin desperately clamped her mouth shut.
“Huh, huh… “
His panic-stricken mind had finished grasping the situation for a split second.
The time that does not return even after loading,
The faint darkness surrounding, and,
A large moonlight illuminating the empty space.
Beautiful moonlight filled the unrealistic subspace where even time stopped for a moment.
Cozy and nostalgic moonlight.
The space of only the two of them was shining, receiving the moonlight that was exceptionally bluer than the moon seen from Earth.
“… “
The Queen didn’t say anything for a while. Her tightly closed mouth held an uneasy silence.
Her eyes, beautiful as precious jewels, looked back and forth between Delrin and the moon.
Next, old stone pillars, antique tables, houses with lights off, and windows…
I got things like that in my eyes.
There is still a sense of use in ancient facilities that show signs of being used by someone.
The tea cups and the messy floor, naturally placed as if someone had just visited, tell us everything. Fragments of something splattered sparsely on the floor.
However, the sub-space is beautiful because the blue moonlight that makes you forget even this unpleasant feeling of use is prevalent.
In the blessed space where countless warriors must have passed,
Only the two men and women who took over the task remain together.
The queen walked away.
As she stepped on the clear floor that looked like the night sky, the queen moved her steps slowly.
“Ugh…ぅ… Oh, it hurts… Sick… Wait for a sec… “
In keeping with her steps, Delrin also had to move quickly. The queen didn’t wait.
The area near Delrin’s wrist, which she was holding onto, turned red from the pressure. His hand, which had blocked blood flow, trembled as if screaming, but the queen ignored even that trembling and dragged him away.
The boy, who had been struggling to offend the queen a little less, could not stand it any longer. It was next to impossible to keep his mouth shut when tears leaked out from his pain.
“Because it hurts!”
Delrin shouted. No, it was more like a scream. I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I screamed out like an outburst.
“Let it go, let it go… ! It’s your last chance. Let go… !”
His other fist, still free, finally touched the queen’s hand.
Puck, puck-
His punches were sincere enough to make the dull sound of bone to bone and flesh to flesh. The sight of him striking with all his might with his pointed fist was desperate.
“Ugh… ! Ah… !”
But the harder she hit her, the stronger the queen’s grip on her wrists. Amid the pain that seemed like his bones would crack, Delrin had no choice but to sit down in place, trembling.
“Aagh! Evil… !”
Delrin is now very crawling. The boy fell to his knees, shuddering in his pain, and was dragged along without mercy, even as he twisted himself to somehow free his arm.
The only voices between the two now are tearful screams and pained moans.
Despite Delrin’s desperate struggle, the queen’s steps do not stop. Rather faster.
She is now pulled tight not only at her wrists, but also at her shoulders and armpits. Delrin’s frail arms can’t stand it as the Queen’s pace quickens.
The boy, already covered in tears, tries to alleviate his pain by clinging to the queen’s arm, but even that doesn’t work.
Because the other queen, who had already reached her destination, pulled him up to eye level with her arms tightly gripped.
“Aww… Whew, uh uh… It hurts! Let go!”
Delrin struggles on his feet while hanging in the air, unable to come to his senses from the pain of tearing his muscles.
Puck, puck-
His unconscious kicks touched her queen’s belly and legs a couple of times, the more her queen’s expression…
“… “
Distorted. The cold expression that always kept his composure is nowhere, and he is trembling with his teeth biting tight.
Both of them shudder, but for different reasons. Delrin trembles from her pain, and the Queen from emotions and thoughts that begin to erupt.
“Are you sick? You look very sick, don’t you?”
“Let go! Let go! Let go… !”
Conversations that cross each other rarely mesh. Both of them focus on their own situation.
That conversation finally meshes.
Jjaak-
“To… To… “
“What hurts? Do you really want to die? Are you doing this knowing that I’m holding back a lot? Who wants to win?”
It was from the very moment the queen gave Delrin a heartfelt slap on the cheek.
Delrin’s tender cheeks throb to the point that the pain she’s experienced so far is laughable. It wasn’t just the feeling of being slapped on the cheek, it was the feeling that something hard had hit him on the head.
She hears unpleasant tinnitus in her ears, blood pools in her mouth, and the shock blurs her vision.
The boy, struggling as hard as he could, stiffened from the sudden pain.
Not even a dry scream escapes from the mouth of the boy who is crying and complaining of pain.
The trembling hands and trembling mouth say it all. In the unacceptable pain, Delrin completely hardened.
“What have I done wrong? Huh? Can you tell me did I do that wrong? What’s the problem?”
Now the queen continues her words. She feels an irresistible surge of emotion in the words she spits out as if pouring out.
“Speak. What did I do wrong You did a good job. Right? You saved it I was favored, but it was my dog who ran away, right? Then it was your fault, not mine, so why do you act so pitiful?”
Her twisted mind while chasing Save and Road eventually spills over to Delrin. The logic of her words doesn’t matter. It’s more important to somehow relieve the anger that can’t be suppressed.
“Why? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, and it’s very disgusting. Why is everyone doing this to me? What are we going to do? Huh?”
When I let go of Delrin’s wrist, he slumped to the floor as if collapsing. Delrin trembled as she chewed the pain she felt for the first time.
“What are we going to do? Why are you only doing this to me?”
Power enters the Queen’s hands again. Through her blurry vision, Delrin looks at her hand.
“Guys like you, do you know that if you were originally, just raising your head in front of me would get you kicked out? Unpleasantly slow-moving people. Stupid, shameful bastards who don’t know how to do anything right, but try to live on their own.”
Still in shock, Delrin’s head clutching her cheek, her shaggy hair in her queen’s hand, holds her hand.
“Even so, did I take special care of you? Is there any honor beyond that of being born a man? He is favored by the mother of the nation, but is there anything more than that? Huh?”
Her hand goes up
And go down again With a bit more power, it descends with a sharp sound.
Jjaak-
The palm is once again pointed at Delrin’s right cheek, and this time the same eerie sound is heard.
Delrin, of course, doesn’t hear.
I think my ears are already broken.
Instead of sound, harsh vibrations and shocks are transmitted.
“But he ran away. Originally it wasn’t meant to be like this. You know? You were the one who came all the way here to run away, and you were the one who turned back time again and again throughout the run.”
Like the tone of the queen, who begins to lose her politeness little by little, her hand on the cheek becomes more and more bitter.
“Only to me, are you doing this shit? Did you say that before? He says that he corrects her habits very much. They say it makes you forget about playing around with those ignorant bitches.”
After being slapped four times, Delrin begins to struggle. I think she will really die if she stays like this.
But she knows Delrin too. Rather, if she dies here, she will return to normal.
That’s why she struggles to endure her pain and hopes to die quickly, but she clings to the queen’s hand because of her infinite fear and fear that human instinct doesn’t allow.
“Do you think those bastards will come to rescue you? Never come Time passes differently here, Delrin. Know? Did you understand what I was talking about? Yes? Can you even understand what I am saying with this stupid head?”
Jjaak-
Another slap on the cheek and Delrin struggles and clings desperately. She looks up at the Queen with very sad eyes as she spits her blood leaking from the inside of her torn cheek.
“Okay. You have to whine like a dog like that.”
The Queen’s hand does not stop.
I’ve accumulated so many things in the meantime.
“Still? I won’t kill you. You know what? I mean, I love you.”
A woman who realized her own heart belatedly, on the day she met again, she directly conveys her heart.
“Even if you piss me off like that. Awesome, right? I also don’t really understand. But. They say love is like that. Right? Doesn’t everyone risk their lives for love?”
A turbid love that has grown too big to handle, and even a wound that can never be forgiven.
“You can’t run away again. Should we end here? Yes? No one’s coming to rescue you. I can’t find it. And, I’ll never get out of here. You can’t leave without my permission.”
It is natural for a pretty princess to have a happy ending.
It should be.
