Chapter 879 – Ep.877 the Collapsed Empire
After Marvius leaves.
Melbourne, who was left alone, sighed as she repeatedly washed her face for a while due to the completely unexpected flow.
From the day I learned how to speak, I learned chivalry and have faithfully practiced it ever since.
I have lived that way with the mindset that I should set an example for my family and, moreover, the countless knights who started following me at some point and should not disappoint.
But now, Melbourne’s 30 years of prosperity have come crashing down in an instant.
No, collapse was virtually certain.
‘A skirt that clearly shows the thighs…’
Any living, breathing creature will inevitably face death someday.
The only difference is that it is a little faster or slower.
Among the dogs, there were some who were afraid of death and tried to reject it, while others, like Melbourne, were always ready to accept death.
And those who were ready to accept death, like Melbourne, instead of accepting death, secretly harbored in their hearts that they would die in the way I wanted.
For reference, the death that Melbourne wanted was all death for Marviel, to whom he had pledged allegiance.
To put it simply, she has always thought that it was okay to throw away her life in any way if it could save the Crown Princess’s life.
However, she failed to protect her master and even lost her life due to an incomprehensible being called the King of Beasts.
A terrible sense of loss at having lost one’s master.
The shame of surviving without being able to protect those who should have been protected.
There was also a sense of helplessness as a prisoner of war, unable to do anything.
As the negative emotions added to the unfavorable situation and environment, Melbourne’s mind was imprisoned very quickly.
In the end, Melbourne, who had come to deny her own existence, was rescued by Smith and saw with her own eyes that the safety of Marvius, the being who had prevented her from ending her life, and the objects of her revenge had all fallen into Smith’s hands. Confirmed.
As a result, Melbourne, who had no reason to stay alive anymore and did not want to, ended up asking Smith for forgiveness for his sins by sacrificing his life.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“… “Come in.”
The door to the office opened, and a knight, whose complexion had improved slightly over the past day, came in carrying an antique-looking box.
“The attendant sent by Her Majesty the Princess asked me to make sure to convey this to the leader.”
“…”
“Captain?”
“… “Please leave it behind.”
“Yes.”
The driver put the box down on the table, quietly closed the door, and left.
“Ha…”
Melbourne, guessing what was inside that antique box, unconsciously wiped her face and sighed.
‘Even though I’m not the leader anymore…’
She was stripped of her position as leader by Marvius, her noble title was taken back, and she became a commoner, unable to even use her family’s last name.
In fact, Marvius is just a member of the royal family.
Since he was not the emperor who officially succeeded the throne, Marvius’ remarks had no power or influence, so it was okay to just ignore them.
However, the stubborn Melbourne had already accepted Marvius, who was the only surviving princess and the wife of her lord and husband, as emperor.
Therefore, Melbourne, who had chivalry instilled in his bones, wanted to take his own life, but Marvius did not allow it, so he was unable to leave and remained in his position.
Sigh.
“…”
Melbourne held its position, even putting off the death it had decided to commit.
The will to live the last remaining days of my life in Melbourne began to be shaken again by the opened Pandora’s box.
“What nonsense… !!”
Melbourne’s face began to turn red as he held up a pair of pink underwear with a small rabbit pattern on them, which looked like something you’d see on men’s underwear.
Okay. It’s okay up to here.
That’s because unless your outerwear comes off, your underwear won’t be exposed to the outside.
The problem is.
“This thing… Clothes… ?”
As soon as Melbourne discovered the black skirt, which was about the length of her index finger and was so short that it was practically like she was abandoning her duties, she was beyond shocked and horrified.
An honorable death?
I didn’t even want that.
At the point when I denied myself, fame was nothing more than an undeserved luxury.
“But, well, still this…” …”
Melbourne’s body trembled as he looked at the bunny panties and short skirt he took out of the box.
No matter how much I wished for death… I did not wish for this kind of social death.
Melbourne thought, going beyond shock and being scared, and going one step further, feeling even a little angry.
‘It is absurd to put a price on loyalty to one’s lord as a knight…’
Anyway, it’s been thirty years.
He devoted himself to the royal family for thirty years, but never thought he would face such a humiliating death.
Wow!!
Melbourne, who had been looking at the panties and skirt that had been left out for a while, stood up, clenching her remaining fist.
‘… ‘It’s pathetic.’
A dog that failed to protect its owner wants to be punished.
“…”
However, despite the fact that he seemed to have made up his mind, Melverin was not willing to move on to the next action.
“… Accept it.”
After rising from his seat and a considerable amount of time had passed, Melbourne composed himself again.
And he tore off the shabby prison uniform he had been wearing since he was rescued.
If I took it off normally, I would have to change my clothes again midway, so I tore it boldly.
“Ha, I can…” No, you have to…”
In the end, Melbourne grabbed the pink panties with the rabbit pattern with her free hand and slowly inserted her smooth legs into the wide hole.
“Tsk…”
Melbourne just put her legs into her panties, but she moaned and stumbled as if she had been stabbed by his knife.
Brr!!
The panties stopped below his thighs.
“You, you… It’s no longer a knight, it’s all… !!”
With those words, Melbourne finally decided to let go of everything and quickly pulled up the panties that were draped under her thighs.
A pale pink, white rabbit with wrinkled front and back immediately wrapped around Melbourne’s desirable buttocks, regaining her original cute appearance.
“I did it all on my own. Melbourne…”
Okay. If she had survived the loss of her master, she should have sworn revenge.
To give up everything and give up on life just because the other person is an incomprehensible being?
Is it because my mind has become exhausted in some other way?
Or, it may be that a defense mechanism has been activated to protect your mind from further damage in a situation that is difficult to accept.
Anyway, Melbourne, who had given up everything, even his own life, suddenly began to criticize and reflect on his actions and rationalize the situation.
As a result.
“Now I’m just a commoner, so where is my honor?”
Also, since you are no longer a knight, isn’t there a need to maintain chivalry as well?
After putting himself down countless times, Melbourne succeeded in putting everything he had in his box on his body.
“Tsk… !!”
Melbourne, who turned around with an empty mind, saw his reflection in his window and squeezed his eyes shut.
The top, which seemed to be a modified version of a butler’s tailcoat, exposed her shoulders and chest, and was so thin that the pink bra she wore underneath was visible.
That alone was enough to inflict a psychological blow.
Thanks to the virtually meaningless length of the skirt, which was so short that it barely covered the lower part of her silence followed, let alone her thighs, her panties with a picture of a rabbit on them were clearly exposed even if she tilted her body even slightly.
“It would be much better to walk around naked. Haha…”
Melbourne eventually smiled as she looked at herself reflected in her window, a reality she didn’t want to accept but had to accept.
‘Now that I think about it, even the sleeves are organized…’
The left sleeve, which was originally supposed to be loose, was smoothed out by cutting off unnecessary parts and adding stitching.
Melbourne, laughing once again at the traces that anyone could tell she had prepared especially for herself, turned her head and checked the clock on the wall.
Marvius was told to come to the Blue Rose Order’s building by noon.
‘Thirty minutes… ‘I guess I should go out.’
I thought she had definitely put everything aside, but when she was about to leave the office, her steps stopped moving.
How will the members outside accept the current situation?
No matter how many reasons there are, this shameful sight… Appearance… ?
A dull light shimmered in Melbourne’s dead eyes.
Okay. Why had I forgotten that fact?
The idiot who dared to pay for his crime with his life with his life last night, without even knowing the subject, would easily have easily passed the one hundred mark, not including himself.
Melbourne, whose thoughts had gone up to that point, kicked down the door of her office and walked out as if it were a lie.
“Captain, Niei… ?”
The driver, who was on guard even though there was no need to do so due to ingrained habits, opened his eyes wide as soon as he spotted Melbourne.
Is what you are seeing now real?
A few times, I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and cleared my throat.
Melbourne, who had narrowed the distance in an instant, was beyond embarrassed by his appearance and strongly tapped the driver’s shoulder, who was on the verge of entering a state of denial of reality.
“Tsk… ?”
Although he only had one hand, his strength had not disappeared, so the knight, who was half out of his mind, was fortunately able to return to reality due to the dizzying shock.
“I am going to visit my husband.”
“Yes… “Yes, yes?”
The knight returned to reality, but was still confused.
However, Melbourne spoke strongly, glaring at the knight in front of him with eyes that were filled with a murky light, regardless of whether he was stuttering like a newly enlisted soldier or not.
“You will pay for your sins today, so tell everyone to be ready to lay down yourselves.”
