Chapter 322 – 33. Downfall.
* * *
“It turns out like this in the end.”
Inside the rattling wagon.
Therin muttered intricately.
He suddenly remembered his quarrel with Cornelia over the future of Persia.
At the time, she was not eaten by Aran (?), So she fiercely opposed sending Aran to the Great King.
This is because it was thought that if this was the beginning of the conflict between Aran and Juana, and the Mei Empire took advantage of it to come in, the Persian Empire would perish within three generations.
And now, although the form is different, Aran and Juana became very close and this kind of division came out.
“Whoa… Juana…”
Illyana also sighed.
She was wearing the formal ceremonial robes of the Persian Empire, not the usual clothes that were easy to move.
“By the way, you managed to accept His Highness’s offer His. In the past, he was apt to oppose it.”
“That….”
Illyana cannot find an answer to Theodora’s question.
Certainly, I was absolutely against it in the past.
None other than the seat of the emperor.
Now that she’s here, according to Aran’s words her, she’s trying to become the third emperor of the empire.
“For a while… It’s only for a moment.”
After saying her barely-earned words, she nods her head to herself.
Now that many things have overlapped with Juana, she was also not in the right spirit.
“Yeah~ But Persia isn’t easy either. Come first The roads are well paved.”
“….”
Illyana frowned at the woman’s words that broke her mood her.
“Let’s get a feel for the atmosphere.”
“What am I You can’t even admire it.”
“Why are you here in the first place?”
“That’s right, I’m Aran’s lover.”
“….”
I’m really angry because I’m really dumbfounded.
How can you be so ignorant and ignorant?
“Well, don’t look at me like that. Now I have no identity.”
“I guess so.”
No matter what anyone says, Seorae is the emperor.
She says that she was kicked out with her own mouth, but if you look at the document that came from the Mei Empire, it contains every word of the request to send the emperor who ran away, so she is truly an absurd woman.
“And I am pregnant. Please don’t be too angry. What if my child is stressed?”
“….”
Holding back the gnashing of teeth, Illyana turned her head away.
‘Eh… What do I….’
It’s just that Aran, who asked for such a strange woman, is savage.
* * *
“Nar… City?”
Juana tilted her head.
It was Aran who was obviously following, but why did Narsi appear?
“Let’s go Juana!”
“Yes? Where?”
“The army of the great kingdom is coming. That person, Aran, tricked you!”
“That, what is that… ?”
“You fell into a trap!”
Narcissus took Juana by the wrist and led her without a moment to say anything.
“Wait a minute! How did this happen? Are you sick? Certainly….”
“Tell me about that later! The important thing is that you are in danger now!”
Narcissus took Juana in his arms and flew away.
The huge imperial palace turned into a small one in an instant.
“I know a safe place. It is a place no one can find.”
“Oh, no! You can’t leave the imperial palace! You can’t leave now!!”
Intuition.
Juana had a hunch that she must not leave the imperial palace now.
That means defeat, and if what Aran said earlier is true, Illyana will probably be crowned as the next emperor.
Especially after Juana’s disappearance!
You can never let it go like that.
“Narsi! Let me go! Have to go back! There is nothing to be afraid of when you are there. Huh? Come with me!”
Juana shouted desperately, but Narcissus was unsteady.
“No. You even got hurt Let’s hide for now.”
“Narsi!”
“Even I cannot go against your mother.”
“Ah….”
Juana hung her head in despair.
If you leave now, everything is over.
Why don’t you know
‘Now… I have to kill Aran now… Somehow!!’
I’m not a match for myself, but if it’s Narsi, I’ll be able to.
“Nar….”
“Juana, listen to me. There is no point in going now.”
“… However!”
“Just live with me. We can live together.”
“….”
Juana bit her lip.
Will there ever be another stupid thing like this?
She gets the chance to kill Aran by putting her head on at best and finishing her preparations, but this is how things go wrong!!
“If you keep doing that, I will hate you.”
“That, that can’t be….”
After answering reflexively, Juana eventually reached a cave deep in the mountain.
It was quite remote, so it seemed that no one would be able to find it, as Narsi said.
“….”
Narcissus wrapped her arms around Juana’s shoulders as she sat silently.
She then sprayed her potion and healed her wounds her.
“Cheer up, Juana. Because I am always with you.”
“Narsi….”
In the end, he could not kill Aran, who would not be happy even if he was torn to death, and rather he was kicked out.
Her tears flowed, but they did not shed.
‘Could my mother… Did you give me a fake?’
There were too many strange situations to just cry.
How the hell did Cornelia get rid of the power of her One Ring of her, and how did Aran deal with hundreds of snakes, Gnil?
In addition, Aran said that Illyana was coming, so could it be that she knew all of Juana’s plans her in advance? Then, where did she leak out, why did she just come when she knew it?
Several thoughts came to her tail her.
“Juana.”
All such doubts were blown away by Narcissus.
She quietly stroked Juana’s hair, whispering like her mother her.
“It’s okay. Now that I’m here, everything will be fine. Take a deep breath.”
“Narsi….”
“Let’s both live in the order of five. With me, no one can threaten you.”
Words so kind and sweet.
Juana felt as if the events of this day, which felt like a thousand years, were disappearing like snow.
“I don’t need the emperor or anything. Shouldn’t it be just the two of us?”
“Ah….”
Feeling of being distracted.
Juana felt that the greed she had so far was slowly disintegrating.
Yeah, what’s the use of power
What is the use of wealth?
If you have Narcissus you love, that’s enough.
It was better
As an emperor and as a princess, marrying the same sex is difficult with a fair amount of determination, and it is a job that requires enduring pointing fingers in all directions.
Besides, if you are an emperor, you also have the obligation to have children, so in the end you have to marry someone.
And that’s something neither Juana nor Narsi wanted.
Rather, I’d rather stay away from the world and live like this just for the two of us.
“Narsi….”
Juana quietly closed her eyes as she fell into Narcissus’ arms.
The sound of the lullaby that resounded in the cave penetrated her ears and gradually put her to sleep.
.
.
“…… Can you give me more?”
“Nonsense. This alone is already a considerable amount.”
“Ah, but….”
Something loud.
Juana opened her eyes to the untidy atmosphere.
“… What? Who came?”
As she got up and went towards the entrance of the cave, she heard a clearer voice.
“Well, that’s too expensive.”
“It is expensive. I’m a tier 7 knight. Do you think you can take her Juana from me?”
“….”
The voice you hear is that of Narcissus.
She was talking to someone.
And that someone’s voice was very familiar.
“… Sister?”
It’s Illyana’s voice!
That is what comes from the entrance.
Juana felt very ominous.
It felt as if the air had tightened her body, which had turned sticky, and it was burrowing into her sweat pores and rubbing them against her will her.
Cold sweat ran down her spine.
“…”
Even as Juana felt such extreme displeasure, she moved forward slowly.
“Oh, so, if you want to take Juana, she wants 300 stadia. It’s an empire, but don’t you have that much money?”
“It doesn’t matter whether you have money or not, I’m not saying it because it’s expensive.”
“Oh really. What is expensive What a ‘ex-emperor’. How much is it worth There is a world of difference between being there and not having it.”
‘Nar… City… ?’
Shocking conversation!
Juana felt her heart stop for a moment.
No, it actually stopped.
Never in her life had she been so shocked. Even when she found out that she had become a Vampire, she was not so shocked.
Narcissus,
That Narcissus,
Negotiating over her own ransom…
It’s like….
‘Me… I’m selling…?’
“…Phew… I can’t help it. Okay Give 300 stadia. Where is Juana?”
“Hehe, you shouldn’t have done that before. I’ll bring her soon. She might still be sleeping… Oh.”
Narcissus turned her head and hesitated as she saw Juana sticking her head out of her.
And then she had her signature innocent smile of her.
“Are you awake? Because it grows fast.”
It’s an expression of no guilt whatsoever.
“Me… Lucy… You… Now….”
“Sorry Juana. I sold you.”
“… What?”
To her her frozen body Her, Narsi spread her arms to her left and right.
“A whopping 300 stadia! With this, you can live on and on for generations! It’s money that even the most noble can’t touch!”
That expression looked very happy.
More than those expressions that Juana sometimes shows.
Juana was speechless in her shock.
“You may be a bit unhappy, but… Do you love me Be patient. My happiness is your happiness, right?”
“….”
Not even a laugh came out.
It was so absurd that it was not even recognized.
Dump!
Her legs gave way and she sat down.
I didn’t have the strength to get up.
No, I just had no power.
Such an absurd thing…
Narcissus, whom he trusted, sold himself…
It was unbelievable.
Her Illyana approached her as she sat down.
“Juana.”
“Frozen…You….”
“You have gone too far. Let’s go.”
It is a very cold face.
But Juana, who was in shock, didn’t feel any emotions when she saw it.
Even fear.
