Chapter 221 – 50. Determination. (One)
Allen heard that Elizabeth had been ousted from her deputy lordship and that she had been demoted to a commoner. But he did not see her face until he left her great city, Kartli. Granzo Danju also said that he hadn’t seen her since she returned from a crushing defeat… Maybe it’s because of pride.
… In fact, she’s glad she stopped.
The repeated defeat of the mercenary corps under the name of the duke was not enough, causing great damage to the coalition, and even the city was captured due to the defeat… The damage caused by that was hard to calculate easily even with Allen’s smart brain.
Demoting her princess to a commoner would have contained a little bit of a duke’s display, but honestly, there was nothing to say about her guilt even if she was hanged. Of course, the duke couldn’t bear to hang his own flesh and blood.
Had it not been for the efforts of Allen and Grenzo, the East would certainly have seen a far worse situation. It was truly heavenly luck for Dongbu and the duke.
Anyway.
Through this incident, Allen also became aware of her fear of demons. She had in mind the [Guild Master] Opponent, but he wasn’t without complacency. It was a bit of a problem for him that he was too full of energy because it was his first mission after becoming the top 10. … Still, to make a little excuse, I didn’t know that the 10th round led by Elizabeth wouldn’t be very helpful.
… Yes, let’s consider it a good experience.
Although he paid the price for the World Tree, he still managed to defeat the demon in the end. What is not a fatal outcome? At the same time, I definitely confirmed how strong the devil’s body was.
I learned a lot from this trip in many ways.
Way back like that.
Allen occasionally shared her stories about Grenjo Danzoo and Elizabeth.
“What about Elizabeth?”
“… Well.”
Especially for her, her evil ghost, who had many sorrows and sorrows, smiled bitterly.
“If you can’t overcome this crisis, the bowl will be all you need.”
Taking a long breath, he continued.
“He was too complacent under his father’s shadow. Of course, it wasn’t without effort, but I got everything so easily. … The reason why he was dismissed from his post as deputy governor and demoted to a commoner must be because of public sentiment. The duke is a nobleman who values face.”
The fire ghost clenched his fist lightly and pounded his table.
“So this time she must step out of her father’s shadow. No matter how big she grows, she can’t grow without being exposed to sunlight and wind and rain. … Genius wizard! What a picture to show off in a ducal family! That’s why the duke put on clothes that didn’t fit her daughter and put them on. Look The result is this. A seat in the 10th lecture is a place where you can leisurely drink tea and hang out? All she could do was a little bit of bizarre magic and taking sides that didn’t work.”
Granzo Danzoo made a sharp criticism.
“With time, the duke will slowly restore her daughter’s identity. And I will put her in her proper mission, show off her great achievement, and then reinstate her. That’s the aristocratic society. That is… , A society of nobles.”
Allen looked up at Granzo’s face.
“Whether to remain a princess or a wizard is now completely up to the child’s choice.”
“… What do you think she will do?”
“I do not know. That, I don’t know.”
He let out a long sigh.
“… Only God knows.”

On the way back to Vermandois, Allen gently seduced the water mage Pickbas.
The self-proclaimed King of Destruction or the tattooist’s mercenary corps were actually nothing to pay attention to, but the water mage’s Pickbass mercenary corps were internally sound, and the members’ condition and relationship with Danju were smooth. Danju was also a mage, so he was rational and rational.
It might be a bit different depending on how big Danju’s ambition is, but in fact, joining the 10-strong coalition was realistically a good enough decision, so water mage Pickbas also went over to Allen’s persuasion. And this time, I confirmed that Danju Allen is a person I can trust enough to go to in the east…
The Allen-Mercenary Corps returned to Vermandois four months after finishing their work in the East.
Allen praised the members for their hard work and gave everyone plenty of free time. He, of course, paid all the salary that was overdue.
Even if it’s cheers, in the end, mercenaries are only happy when they have money in their hands. Although Allen was a terrible money freak, he never missed paying the promised wages. For a mercenary, money equals trust.
What surprised Allen when he returned to Vermandois was that the prophet Alloa had not yet returned to the capital and remained at the hideout, waiting for him in despair.
To be honest, four months is enough time to get rid of travel addiction, but the fact that you still haven’t left must mean that you have some lingering attachments.
Others make trivial excuses like this… , As Allen read her outline, she had her wish to remain with her future husband. Of course, if you are a prophet, Allen is very welcome. She said, frankly, it’s far better for him to stay willingly than beg for it.
However, for about ten days after her return, Allen was so busy with her work that he had no time to spare. Of course she has no time for women.
As soon as she hoped that she could breathe a little more, she was busy with her clothes this time without any time for her cock to run dry. In particular, Viola, who had been poisoned for several months, rose to the point where the poison rose, and she rushed to squeeze Allen down to her root.
Not only that, but when she met the sucker mage, the gum milk inspector, and the a pink slut saint trio, she attacked without even trying. … He’s so proud that his balls don’t even manage to strike and keep producing cum.
… After her return, another month passed in the blink of an eye.
And in that month, there was a very dramatic change. The World Tree, which was given as a gift by Scone, showed explosive growth.
What was initially put in a small pot has been repotted five or six times. Then, I couldn’t handle it with a potted plant, so I planted it in the ground, and within a few weeks it had already grown as much as a 10-year-old tree.
Of course, it’s not that big yet, but at this rate of growth, it seemed like it would soon become a huge tree.
“Let’s plant it in advance next to the hideout building currently under construction.”
So, it was decided to plant the world tree in a large empty lot next to the new hideout building, which is still under construction, before it becomes too big to move.
Partongbeopsa also agreed and moved the world tree.
It, which ate her love abundantly, grew rapidly and differently day by day.

After spending more than a month in her solitary confinement, Elizabeth visited the Duke’s office.
Duke Belver’s gaze at his daughter was still fierce. He was usually a very unfriendly person, but from that day on, she hadn’t even gotten the slightest attention from him.
“Father.”
“I’m going to stay in my room, why did you come here!”
“… Please give me another chance. This time, we can do better. Father… !”
Then, the Duke hits the desk with his fist.
“Listen to me! How can I be so proud of myself now?! Can’t you see that you’re doing some magic? There are a lot of guys like that!”
“Father…”
“I didn’t believe you. I believed in you and sent you because you said you could do it! So no matter what the outcome, take responsibility for your words! … If it wasn’t for my blood, I would have hanged myself right away!”
Elizabeth shut her mouth at the Duke’s bloody words.
“Go and wait. I mean, shut up and act like you’re dead. Study magic You said you could be like Granzo Danju? Was that even a bluff?”
“… Work harder in the future…”
“I already gave you a chance. You now roll when I roll, and fall when I lie down. … If you die, die then. Okay? … Got it!”
“… Yes…”
“Good.”
She hesitated until she finally backed off at his shouts.
She returned to the innermost room of the Duchy. … The fancy room has now turned into a shabby place with only a couple of shabby furniture. She had no maids to attend to her, who, of course, had been demoted.
It was only then that she realized that everything she had was just an illusion.
The ducal family, which she had always confidently put forward, was neither hers nor her ability.
– Opposite. Must. You don’t deserve
– You’re just there.
The harsh criticism of Granzo Danju flew into her heart like a dagger.
Ah.
She was an underachieving human being, both as a magician and as an assistant manager.
Of course, for the first month or so, it was not easy for her to admit it.
I just made excuses that the situation wasn’t good, that it was just bad luck.
… But the clever girl already knew.
What she achieved was only possible because she had a duke.
It wasn’t because of her ability, but because of her background as a duke.
Elizabeth looked back at herself.
There was no one there.
She had no one to sleep for herself.
Because they came to see the Duke.
… Because she also put forward the duchy.
Of course.
It was natural.
She herself, too, was hiding behind the duke’s back.
Because she took advantage of the duchy’s prestige!
Ah.
I see
So that’s it.
I was stupid
Was just a kid
If I wasn’t a princess, then I was nothing.
In this place, neither a princess, nor a wizard, nor a vice lord,
There was only one poor woman named Elizabeth.
But she had no one following Elizabeth.
In the first place, the seat in the 10th lecture was reserved for Princess Belver.
There was no room for Elizabeth. … She didn’t deserve it.
Ah–
Realizing it belatedly, she cried.
Very long
… Until a certain resolution is engraved in my heart.
