Chapter 290 – #66 and the Hero Who Knows Everything, Makes a Decision (2)
“Emile… Leah.”
At her unexpected appearance, her count called her in bewilderment.
The holy sword she held in her hand was enveloping it with a holy light suitable for it.
The sword in the Count’s hand is a look that is compared to the one wrapped in dark magic that looks ominous even at first glance.
The loose-looking clothes, which were quite large compared to her slender and petite body, belonged to the Count.
The thing he took out of his closet and wore was barely secured so that it wouldn’t flow down, such as by tightening his waist… Whether it was because her original appearance was beautiful or because she had affection for her, that appearance was also very attractive.
Normally, I would have wanted to whisper words of love, but not now.
It’s not the time to talk about that.
The Count kept his eyes on Emilia’s figure as if he had seen it in vain, and only after a moment did he manage to bring her back to his senses and spoke to Emilia.
“Emilia! Why are you here?!”
Emilia must have collapsed from exhaustion in her own room.
Not only that, but she had the Count quietly wait there, and in the first place, she had never been told about this ‘ritual’ of her day.
But why
Why is she here… !!
“… This is…”
Emilia strode into her room, she didn’t answer the count’s question, she just looked around her.
This is where Emilia, who had been hiding in the Count’s mansion in the past, fell into a trap by the succubus Mona… It’s that room.
Even then, she thought that the pile of stones in the center of the room was like an altar, but she seemed right.
“Emilia! Answer me! You ask why are you here!”
Finally, the Count raised his voice and spoke.
Unlike the Count, who was so flustered, Emilia was unconcerned.
Its gaze was looking at the haze-like lumps floating there beyond the count.
“That one is the Demon King. Count, you said you would bring it back to life.”
Emilia’s eyes pierce the demon lord.
Then, the tips of her count’s sword were pushed against such Emilia.
“Go back, Emilia. Go back to your room and masturbate and wait until I go back. This thing went very wrong. When I return, I will give you a big punishment.”
The tip of the sword overflowing with dark energy was pointed at Emilia.
However, even in front of her real sword, which was not her toy or wooden sword, Emilia remained unconcerned.
“No, I do not want. And shut up, Count. I have no reason to listen to you.”
There is no positioning to strike back.
Just, she just stands still.
She, who shouldn’t be able to disobey the Count’s orders, just stands in front of him.
Seeing that, the Count was stunned.
Underneath the clothes, the existence of the ‘vulnerable door’ engraved by Mona’s magic is still felt.
However, even while wearing that “Vulgar gate,” Emilia calmly refused the Count’s orders.
This is an irregularity no one thought of.
A ‘miracle’ that even Mona, as well as the Count, could not even imagine, was made possible by Emilia.
“It took a long time.”
“It took a very long time, and now I barely know everything, Count.”
“What are you going to do? And what happened in the past and what is happening now.”
“Thanks to Hilde’s help, she knew everything thanks to her contract with Mona. The whole truth, and everything you’re about to do.”
To the Count, Emilia said.
With her calm face, but with complex emotions in her eyes, neither hatred nor anger could be seen.
Emilia just silently gazed at her former enemy, whom she hated with a hatred that burned her soul.
“Count, I’m no longer the childish me who didn’t know anything and blamed others.”
“Now that I know everything, I want to stand up, walk, talk and think on my own terms.”
“So please don’t forcefully close my eyes anymore.”
“Please don’t close my ears. Please do not try to keep the truth away from me.”
“Your consideration is something I appreciate, but I am not a child who can do nothing without someone’s consideration.”
Unswayed by emotions, the voice that flows calmly is like water.
Her words seep into my heart like running water.
Its unwavering gaze seems to pierce through everything on this side.
Tragedy at a young age, his heart was consumed by a deep hatred and was locked in darkness.
In order to find her own way to live, she worked as a rough mercenary, and her words and actions became rough.
When faced with her enemy, the Count, her restlessness always showed her feelings of resentment and anger.
Of course, all of that was true of Emilia’s own feelings.
But.
This determined look she now shows, this soft and bold demeanor, is probably her nature that has been overshadowed by all of them.
A gentle, intimidating attitude befitting the title of [Hero].
Unwavering and gentle, and beautiful and strong… Warrior.
[Oh, oh… Oh oh oh oh…]
[Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh… !!!]
At that time, the fog-like mass beyond the earl began to emit a strange sound.
A voice made of trembling magic, that sound.
It sounded sad, like the cry of a child.
[Friend… My dear… Loved, Friend… !!]
Could it be that he saw the appearance of the first hero in that attitude?
Or was it that he was stimulated by something in front of that attitude, that voice, or that appearance?
The demon king cries bitterly.
It was quite different from the appearance that showed off the majesty of the king just a moment ago.
The upright appearance from earlier when he said he would kill the hero, Emilia, is nowhere to be seen.
To say that the demon king hates the hero who killed him is unreasonable.
He still sees the hero who killed him, the first hero who was only used… I loved Arthur Edenbertz.
However, he said that he would be able to forgive the mankind who manipulated the first hero and drove them to hell like this.
Humanity, who cannot live even 100 years, will probably not be able to fathom that feeling.
Chabak… Chabak…
The Demon King values courtesy, but he couldn’t even afford to cry and ask for courtesy.
And in front of such a demon lord, Emilia stepped closer and closer, walking with her bare feet.
Her count held out her sword at her, trying to stop it.
“Don’t stop me, Count.”
Seeing Emilia’s strong power, the hero’s gaze, the count had no choice but to take a step back without even realizing it.
Just like that, Emilia reached the Demon King.
Then, she got down on one knee in front of him.
As it was, she placed one of her hands, her left hand engraved with the pattern of divine protection, on one of her breasts, revealing the inscription.
“Greetings to the King of Demons, the friend of our ancestors. I am Emilia Edenbertz, the 17th generation descendant of the first hero, Arthur Edenbertz, the current hero, inheriting the lineage of warriors and receiving the imprint you gave me on this body. I look forward to.”
The resolute greeting, her words and attitude that reminded him of the first hero made the demon king cry even more sadly.
* * *
Emilia knew everything.
I found out all the truth.
That the first hero and the demon king were friends.
And that the hero was taken advantage of by the selfishness of mankind at the time.
The sad story was hard to believe.
However, the evidence given in various ways, and above all Myself as a ‘warrior’She proved it to be true… I couldn’t possibly deny it.
When she learned all about the relationship between the first hero and the demon king, Emilia cried profusely on the spot.
For a long, long time, she had cried so much that she wondered how she could shed so many tears from such a small body.
It was also because Emilia herself was saddened by the fate of her first hero and the demon king.
Perhaps, the feelings of the first hero, transmitted along with that 【Blessing of the Hero】, may have reacted to all the truth.
So, Emilia came to this moment of consciousness.
Even she didn’t know what she could do.
In her not-so-intelligent mind, she couldn’t come up with anything she could do or her best means.
But she had to go anyway, her heart pushed her, her mark on the back of her hand pushed her.
And.
We have reached now…
* * *
‘Why…’
‘Why?!’
Count Meln couldn’t help but be astonished.
She had no intention of telling Emilia anything.
This truth, he tried to take all the filth on himself and disappear.
She didn’t want to put anything more on Emilia’s small shoulders anymore.
So she said, Emilia, she just wished she hated herself, and rejoiced in the disappearance of the hateful foe she would now be gone.
‘Hilde… Why are you… !’
Her loyalty is strong, her own subordinates, her irreplaceable confidant, do not know what the hell she was thinking.
That feeling of betrayal she couldn’t bear.
But more than anything else, what incited Earl Meln’s wrath.
‘Mona… !!’
That damn succubus.
She thought she had an ulterior motive, but I never thought she would do something like this.
Mona, a succubus who made a contract with the Count.
Her count placed many restrictions on her and ordered that her interference with Emilia be kept to a minimum.
Even so, she couldn’t believe it and took away all of her knowledge, power, and rights…
However, the master of deceit and deceit.
In the end, at the end of the end, he hit the count like this.
Even as he fell from bottom to bottom by the Count, he kept this one tens of thousands to the end, and did not allow the Count to notice this fact until the end.
The Count couldn’t even guess because he didn’t know what the intention was, and he didn’t know what benefit it was.
‘I gave orders to Mona not to let Emilia know all this directly.’
‘So Hilda… After conveying the content to be taught to Hilde, Hilde conveyed it to Emilia… That’s why you evaded my orders.’
Then there would be no need for knowledge or power.
I don’t know since when, but Mona must have already completed all her preparations before the day she took everything from Mona.
For Hilde, after the Count’s death, Emilia had been given various trainings in advance.
In order for Emilia, freed from the Count, to be able to live her life one day, she taught her from general knowledge to the culture of a nobleman.
Perhaps, she was taking advantage of the time.
Hilde is the count’s irreplaceable, unquestionably loyal confidant.
That’s why the count didn’t even think to doubt…
While the Count is horrified at the betrayal of an unbelievably loyal confidant.
Emilia, who knelt down in front of the Demon King, continued her words.
