Chapter 114 – Episode 113. Way Back (7)
The Taepyongseongdae is built on the blood-stained earth.
This Einhafen was like that too.
It is said that it has been peaceful for 20 years, but it is not just obtained.
Countless wars, wars, wars with quite a large number of kingdoms that existed on this continent and countries that called themselves empires of their own…
In such a harsh war where blood was washed away, it was this Einhafen that finally won the victory, and the peaceful atmosphere created in that way continues to this day.
Those who were in charge of one axis of the main force in the unification war were Wolfgang, Weizik, and the knights led by them.
Even though they have grown old, their bravery has not declined, and rather, the invasion of monsters is not so scary for those who have matured and trained the younger generation.
So, Wolfgang and Weizik did not look too uneasy while leaving Astrid and Leopold sleeping in this mansion with Ashley as their escort.
It’s something you just have to go to, deal with quickly, and come back.
It’s only about that much.
“… Because you’re thinking. Wolfgang or Weizik would have gone to the academy, and now there may or may not be that kid named Ashley in the mansion, but that’s not particularly important.”
“It is.”
After getting off the wagon, Astain and Veracien, who each had only one bag as luggage, picked up the bag, the carriage slowly turned its head and started to go back the way it had come.
Veracien, who had been quietly watching the carriage disappear so far, turned his gaze to Astain this time.
“Are you going to the Jaseng Tower?”
“It should be. And, by the time you bring it, you will have to prepare.”
“Okay. I’ll bring something sleeping, so there’s no problem. Anyway, I’m going to play for a while, so prepare well.”
“I see.”
As Astein’s figure faded in the amulet’s flames, Verasien turned her head to look up at the residence of Grand Duke Miterien.
She had a smile on her face and the next moment, she was gone.
*
“I don’t know how you found out where I am.”
“Oh, it’s not difficult to find the place where the goal is.”
Leopold looked at Vera Sien and shut her mouth.
When Veracien suddenly appeared in this room, Leopold was unexpectedly calm.
She already knew that Vera Shien wasn’t just a human being, and Leopold had roughly guessed that the fact that Astrid couldn’t wake up like this was someone’s trick. Besides, Vera Shien had appeared in that classroom without any sign of presence before, so Leopold thought that she would be in the same vein.
She stopped Ashley from attacking Vera Shien and instead stepped forward herself.
“Your Highness, it is dangerous!”
“You are more dangerous than me. I know That woman, will never hurt me. She wouldn’t even think of that.”
Leopold said that while staring at Veracien.
Vera Shien looked at his eyes for a moment, asking if I’m wrong, if I’m wrong, then she smiled.
“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. True to your word, I have no intention of harming you. I have no intention of that.”
“Ask one more. I would appreciate it if you could answer me honestly.”
Leopold was calm.
It is sewage to lose one’s reason and rush at an enemy in front of one’s eyes.
It is also a matter of being too relaxed.
Rather calmly, naturally, treating the other person like nothing is constant.
Veracien stared at Leopold like that.
As she stared at Leopold without saying anything, her lips smirked as if sneering, and then it turned into a genuine smile and her lips curled up.
“Yes, Crown Prince. Answer anything What are you curious about?”
Leopold inhaled lightly.
He didn’t even have to go back.
I didn’t think that judo newspapers and stuff like that would work.
“You must be a succubus, right?”
“That’s right.”
With those words, the shape of the black nun’s uniform that Berasien was wearing began to change.
The long skirt of the nun’s uniform, which covered her ankles, was split in half and each adhered closely to her legs, revealing the beauty of her legs. The curves of the body were clearly revealed.
The sleeves were rolled up in white, and soon there was a white lace-like decoration on the shoulder, lightly attached—a fairly revealing outfit by today’s standards.
‘… It looks like it used to be.’
The image appeared in Leopold’s mind.
It is very similar to the outfit I saw when I entered Astrid’s room at Erania’s call.
“Is it so. I am a succubus. Was the outfit a little provocative? Whoops.”
Veracien thought Leopold had seen his clothes and his face blushed.
Although not really.
“… Having said that, are you the one who put Astrid to sleep like this?”
“You’ve figured out a lot. Yes, I did. I am a succubus, and I have all the power over sleep.”
Seeing him openly revealing things like this, I wonder if he has something to hide.
A sudden thought came to him, but Leopold shook his head to shake it off.
There is no reason for this succubus to do that.
“It’s bad taste.”
“But it’s fun.”
“… What do you plan to do with Asti?”
“Well? It wasn’t because I had a plan to do something. It’s just that they’re making a fuss. It’s just cooked. You weren’t too bad either, were you? After all, Astrid is beautiful when she keeps her mouth shut.”
At those words, Leopold gets angry.
Yes, if you want to sleep, you should sleep all day.
What is it that keeps you awake for an hour a day?
Thinking of that made Leopold furious.
“If you want to put it to sleep, you have to put it to sleep completely or not.”
“You thoroughly enjoyed it, right?”
At those words, Berashien put on a strange expression.
It’s not that I didn’t, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Is not it.
See how they are doing well within the self-saeng tower. Is not it?
What?
“What do you mean, that?”
“You’re asking me back after playing a prank on me to wake you up for only one hour a day, isn’t it too much of a language?”
Come to think of it, Leopold’s face was emaciated.
It seems that Leopold is the one who really needs sleep.
“Per day… One hour?”
Veracien’s expression also became strange.
If she hadn’t been eaten at all, she would have been running around like Pariser said.
Come to think of it, she also reminded me of Vera Shien.
Those words from Paris, who had been working hard for a while after sleeping.
And after that, he collapsed and fell asleep.
“Is it true that you can only wake up for an hour a day?”
“Yeah, you damn demon bitch.”
The answer came from the wrong place.
When Leopold’s gaze turned to the bed, Veracien also looked at the bed.
On the bed, Astrid stood up with her mint-colored eyes as if possessed by a ghost.
“No, it can’t be like this… ?”
When this happened, it was Veracien who was taken aback.
They say that there are many types of sleep, and if you can’t sleep deeply, you may wake up in the middle, but that didn’t matter to a succubus who treated sleep like a power like Veracien.
You can fall into a deep sleep from the very beginning and make it so deep that you won’t wake up even if someone wakes you up, and in fact, Astrid also made her sleep that deeply.
I did, but I woke up like this.
Besides, he said that he was always awake for an hour a day.
Veracien was taken aback by the fact that it couldn’t happen, and shouldn’t have happened.
“This, what the hell is this?”
“I’m going to ask you, you dirty demon bitch. That damn tower was also done by you, right?”
Leopold looked at Astrid with an evil gaze.
Where did Astrid, who used to be feminine and gentle at the academy, go? Now she swears at the end of her words, and her eyes are ready to tear people to death.
“Oh, Asti.”
Until now, when she woke up for an hour a day, she still had a rather friendly conversation with Leopold.
It was like that, but the current Astrid is completely different.
“Tower… Oh top. Tower… Wait, no Are you… “
Berashien’s eyebrows curled slightly.
She’s about to say something, but then just shakes her head as if it’s not true, no way? While muttering something again.
“You.”
“Speak, speak.”
“Isn’t it, by any chance, a double personality or something like that? I couldn’t do this otherwise.”
Astrid’s face brightened noticeably.

Remembered
She finally remembered.
With the thick feeling of something breaking in her skin, the crunching feeling of something collapsing, she felt that all of her memories within her were reviving.
‘Astrid von Mitterien.’
Her name.
The name of this body now.
‘Leopold von Einhafen.’
… Man’s name.
A blonde, blue-eyed young man.
‘… And me.’
“Hey, what are you doing!? Boxes keep pushing!”
“Ah, okay… “
With her crawling voice, she picks up again and hastily tosses the box full of her cabbages onto her truck.
It would be shit if it exploded like this, but she didn’t have enough room in her heart to be considerate of that kind of thing.
Anyway, it didn’t explode now, so it’s not her fault.
‘However… ‘
Why am I doing this here?
I couldn’t figure it out.
In the box she held in her hand, there were several large potatoes from Gangwon Province.
After all, the season is the season, so it’s full of cabbage, potatoes, and heavy things.
Even picking up such a box is not heavy at all.
If you lift it up, you can hear it without any effort at all.
‘Why do I have this power again?’
Then what is the real Astrid doing?
Maybe because I’m like this, and because I have this divine power, I wonder if only God’s duties remain.
I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.
