Sleepyhead Sees You From 100 Days Ago 202

Chapter 202 – Chapter 5: Rose Sabel – 7

Squeak-clap.

I opened the door of the torture room and escaped.

“Ugh…”

Is it because I stayed in the memory illusion for too long? I feel dizzy.

Have we returned to reality?

My whole body feels tingly even though I haven’t done anything. It feels like my arms and legs have become very thin. It’s extremely awkward.

“Are you done?”

I raised my head. In front of me was a familiar man with his back to me.

Did you say he was ‘Klaus’, the rebel’s operational chief?

Okay. I am… Join the rebels to attack the royal palace. I was capturing Uncle Joseph to find out the existence of a secret passage.

When I realized what I was doing, the things I had just seen began to recede into the past and begin to feel real.

“Yes. It’s over.”

“Ohh-.”

He gave me a hint by gently placing his hand on my shoulder. It meant going to a quiet place.

I followed him while remaining silent.

As I moved, I looked around and saw that most of the soldiers were asleep.

Pass quietly so as not to wake them, and head in a deserted direction.

At the end of the hallway was Klaus’ office.

He asked, sitting comfortably in his chair.

“So, where did you say the secret passage is?”

He said it was hidden in the basement of the royal castle, just as his uncle had said.
After hearing the story, Klaus nodded his head calmly.

“Hmm – it was hidden there. As expected, I thought Ritz-kun would figure it out easily. No matter how much Joseph keeps his mouth shut… “Because I am weak in ‘affection.'”

“…”

Although I expected it.

As I saw the facts becoming clearer and clearer before my eyes, bitterness rose inside me.

“Then- I will tell you in detail about the route to infiltrate the castle.”

Klaus was no longer curious about the secret passage.

Isn’t it strange?

Uncle Joseph may have lied. Or maybe I lied.

But he didn’t have any doubts or confirmation about it.

Is it because you believe everything I say?

No. I don’t think so.

Klaus’ expression and tone of voice made me feel like that didn’t matter.

There is reason to be so sure.

I don’t know what the inside of the royal castle is like.

All I know is that there is a secret passage underground. I don’t know how to get to the basement or how to move safely without being detected.

If you were an ‘Operation Chief of Staff’, you should definitely have pointed out that part. Klaus never mentioned such basic questions.

Like… In any case, as long as I enter the castle, it’s enough.

“First, I have good news. A neighboring country sent a gift to congratulate the Queen on her coronation, and it is said to arrive at the port in three days. And it turns out that the warehouse manager we purchased will be in charge of transportation. “If Mr. Ritz hides himself in the box we prepared in advance, he will be replaced during the unloading process of the ship.”

“…”

“Then you will swish and go straight to the royal castle.”

Klaus smiled and made a hand gesture that made the wind fly away.

“You will be moved to the palace warehouse. The gift-opening banquet is held the next morning. In other words, I have about half a day of time. If you don’t feel any movement, just open the lid and proceed as instructed. “I won’t drive the screw in hard, so if you kick it hard with your foot, you will be able to get out on your own.”

“…”

“Do you have any more questions?”

Uncle Joseph was right.

Klaus only talks about ‘what I will do’. There hasn’t been a word about what the rebels will do so far.

Aren’t you going to just suck your fingers until I come back after killing Posao?

“Once I finish my work at the palace, how can I get out?”

“You just have to disguise yourself as a security guard and go back the way you came.”

It really sounds comfortable.

If it seemed like it would be easier said than done, all the kings of Deseo would have been assassinated.

“If I get caught by the guards… What happens?”

“Hmm, if we assume the worst, it will definitely be difficult. I wasn’t prepared for such a situation, but if something like that happens, all you have to do is get out safely without thinking about what happens next. If there is a commotion, Posao will come out of the palace. “At that time, our soldiers plan to take care of Posao.”

“… “What about the queen?”

“The queen will also come out.”

“What will she do with the queen?”

At my question, Klaus closed his mouth.
The corners of his mouth, which had been smiling all along, hardened, and his eyes, which were always smiling gently, were now opened to the point where his pupils were clearly visible.

The air passing by his skin became cold.
As if my question had just offended him.

Klaus folded his hands neatly and spoke quietly.

“Ritz-kun.”

“…”

“I’ve been watching you patiently so far. You kept saying that you would kill Gukseo Posao, but you never once said that you would kill the queen.”

“…”

“It’s a strange thing. It’s as if the ‘Queen’ wasn’t on your kill list from the beginning.”

He glared at me.

“You and our military are partners. The person who gave trust in this cooperation was the royal doctor. We helped you plan to kill Posao. So wouldn’t it be right for you to help us kill the queen?”

“…”

“If you think I’m wrong, can I tell you why you should ‘keep the queen alive’?”

Is it wrong?

Perhaps… It may have been wrong to join the rebel army.

To them, Posao’s life was not important.

Killing Tia and bringing the old king back to this country. That was all I could think of.

… Killing Tia?

It can’t be done.

Never.

I don’t allow that.

“The queen must live.”

“… Heh.”

Did he sense that the doubts he had been building up for so long were finally proven correct?

The corner of Klaus’ mouth twitched.

“Ritz-kun. I didn’t want to do this either.”

He clenched his fist slightly. He knocked on the table three times.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

As the sound of an empty wooden barrel echoed through the office, the door behind me burst open.

The sound of dizzying footsteps. And then you hear the sound of metal clicking.

Two soldiers appeared on either side, and there was another soldier right behind me.

“Your service has contributed greatly to our military. They captured Joseph alive and even discovered a secret passage to infiltrate the royal palace. However, as long as there is a clear difference of opinion between us – to be honest, it is only a ‘hindrance’.”

“…”

“I feel sorry for the royal doctor who introduced you, but I think you’ll understand if I tell you that it was a choice I had to make for the greater good.”

“…”

“Anyway, I don’t understand why you’re trying to protect the queen so much. Is she saying there is nothing wrong with the Queen? There are some who say that she was just placed on the throne and that she has nothing to do with politics. But if you look at what I’m doing now, it doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything.”

His voice was as evil as a snake.

“If it is a sin, it is a sin for her to sit on that throne, including her legitimacy. Where is that? It can also be said that tarnishing the honor of this country with that dirty, vulgar body is a sin.”

Why is it like this?

Why do people… Am I anxious to die?

Isn’t it okay to just leave me alone?

If you want to help, help, and if you don’t want to help, just don’t block my path.

“Everyone looked disappointed when they saw the queen’s coronation ceremony. I sighed at the fact that the king who would lead this country was just a girl, shocked that the queen had an ugly man as her husband, and frustrated when I heard that she was already pregnant with a baby. I did. Isn’t this truly deplorable? The king of Deseo! “That the supreme king was crushed by that pig-like man every night and let out vulgar groans?”

By the way.

What on earth do you want to achieve by stimulating me?

Are you saying something that will tear your heart to pieces like this?

“Nevertheless, Ritsu-kun. You are…”

Klaus chuckled.

“Such a queen… Are you even in love?”

I don’t know what kind of expression I was making.

Just.

At that time, my hand was already on the rose saber.

Damn it-!!

The only thing that happened was that a flash of light erupted and cut down the soldier behind me… I just recognized it.

“Kaaaaak-!!”

Red, thick blood splattered and clumped on the wall.

The victim’s terrible screams echoed throughout the office.

Klaus, who was always smiling, had a face filled with shock and fear.

It was so absurd that I laughed.

If it’s a person… Everyone has the same expression in front of death.

Will Posao show me that face too?

“I-I-I-I-IK!”

A frightened soldier rushes in from the left.

He struck back by swinging his rose saber vigorously.

Chaeng-!

The soldier’s hands holding the sword were lifted, exposing his chest.
Draw a diagonal line with your sword without missing a beat.

Rose Sabel’s sharp blade tore through the soldier’s thick sleeve and passed easily through her wrist.

“Ugh? Ugh-!!”

Blood spurted out from his completely cut wrist.

The fresh blood that rushed out fell like balsam petals on Klaus’s clothes and hair.

Next, the young soldier on the right.

“Oh, don’t come!”

Puck!

I retreated like a fool, but my thigh was pierced by the tip of the rose saber.

The soldier, his bones broken, cried out in pain, holding his leg.

Even though it was me, I wasn’t in good shape.

He’s probably covered in blood from head to toe.

Wiping the blood dripping from the tip of his nose and eyebrows with his sleeve, he walked towards Klaus.

“This… This is crazy…”

There is only one mistake he made.

I didn’t know that I was already a monster.

I captured Uncle Joseph and brought back all of his sword skills accumulated over 20 years as a memory illusion.

Because just three soldiers were nothing.

“Ri, Ritz-kun. Well, let’s say it in words… I just thought wrong… Ugh?!”

Crash. Wow.

That strange sound came from my fingers holding the rose saber.

Penetrating my bones, my heart pounding… The feeling of a sharp, cold blade slowly approaching.

What does it really feel like?

“Ugh… 100 million…”

Klaus, who could no longer speak, answered with fear in his eyes.

“Don’t insult Tia.”

Pugh-!

I felt my heart exploding.

Klaus flinched, trembled, and fell over like a doll whose strings had been cut.

Pak!

I pulled out the rose saber.

It was soaked in blood, shining redder than ever.
