27 – Veil of Corruption – (6)

Even the moonlight did not enter the dark room because of the curtains.

The only thing that can be seen vaguely is Lyncia and Rowan, who are tied to the doorway.

“Since when did this happen!”

Lynchia screamed in anger. Each time, the tightly tied ropes swayed.

Rowan shrugged.

“It’s been a while. It’s been less than five years since I joined the Order.”

“…He’s a torture wizard. You swore allegiance to the imperial family! Why did you betray him!”

“Well.”

Rowan mumbled for a moment, then stretched out both of his fingers.

“There are many reasons, but it is also to overthrow the rotten empire.”

“what!”

“Didn’t Her Highness Lynchia feel the same? At the time of the meeting, you saw the important officials who so zealously called for the destruction of the imperial family, right? Of course, it was all because the chieftain was bought out. hahahaha.”

“…”

“The empire and the royal family have gained too much power just in the name of divine bloodline. It’s deformed and inefficient. The decaying empire needs a new order.”

“Even if it’s an evil force from another dimension?”

“Since when did the power of foreign media be defined as evil? Isn’t that also prejudice?”

Rowan was laughing like a maniac.

Lyncia gave up answering any more.

“I’m a priest of a foreign god, but I don’t serve him. I just borrow power. Power is up to you to use.”

Rowan ironed out his house bag and set it on the table.

The open slit of the bag emitted a mysterious purple light.

“I don’t have any ill feelings toward His Highness Eiren. I think of everything as a sacrifice for the greater good. In that sense, it’s the same for Guardian Knight Freed and the Head Maid.”

“What?!”

A cliché that flows slowly.

Lincia, who picked up an ominous word in it, screamed in surprise.

Because of that, the ropes that were tying her wrists came loose.

After being freed from restraint, Lynchia hurriedly got up from her seat and pointed at Rowan with her back against the wall.

“Did you just say the maid! What did you do with Melina?!”

“……hahahaha.”

Dry laughter. Rowan was so excited about what was about to happen that he rocked his body up and down as if he didn’t know what to do.

“You mean Melina?”

Rowan chuckled.

“She was a foolish woman. It was a very simple mission, just adding powder to the tea the princess would drink, but I stupidly messed up the job. I didn’t know you would resist. He threatened to kill the child if he did not obey.”

“You, you! Awesome!”

Lyncia gritted her teeth and ran, but was knocked off by Rowan’s kick.

“He came to me yesterday and told me. I’d rather kill myself and not harm anyone.”

“… … no way.”

“Yes. So I did as I wished.”

Scared to finish his words, Rowan gestured.

As a signal, the bolt on the wall opened and a woman fell down along with the tile.

The woman doesn’t even have a slight movement.

“… … Melina?”

Lyncia asked blankly, and Rowan giggled as if he was enjoying it so much.

“Yes. This is Melina, the maid of honor.”

“Ahh… … , ah.”

Lynchia couldn’t move.

No, I didn’t even have the strength to move.

Because Melina’s limp body was as if it were her own.

“You are not even a person!”

“you’re right. He is a foreign priest who is outside the human category. A new upheaval will soon come. It is impossible to remain an ordinary person.”

Rowan looked over there.

The place where the eyes are directed is the central hall of the conference hall.

“It was noisy just a little while ago, but it seems quiet now, doesn’t it? Probably, Fried, whom Your Highness trusted so much, is dead.”

“…”

“Don’t be too heartbroken. If you want, I’ll use necromancy to save you. Communication will be difficult, but.”

Rowan clicked his tongue as he looked at the stunned Lyncia with her head lowered.

He strode over and grabbed her by the neck.

“Kheuk.”

A black blade emerged from the end of Rowan’s arm.

If she pushed it one more inch, Lyncia would die just like that.

However, instead of inserting the blade, Rowan withdrew his arm and grabbed Lynthia’s chin and lifted it up.

“However, I don’t think it’s fun to just kill the creator’s lineage. Arwen told me to kill him right away, but you can’t just miss such a good opportunity, can you?”

Rowan giggled and patted Lynchia’s cheek.

“I am afraid of repercussions if I kill someone for no reason. Above all else, we mages prefer the sure way.”

Swoop.

What Rowan proudly took out was a dark blue vial. I saw black tentacles swaying through the convex glass.

To Lyncia, who was giggling without even breathing out, Rowan waved the medicine bottle and said,

“Aren’t you curious? What will happen if you taint the bloodline of the creator god?”

“… … Ah, ah.”

“With that body, I’m sure it would accept other alien creatures well. How about giving birth to a demon from another dimension? Surely a stronger demon than sepia will be born? Just in case! There might be a being more powerful than the creator!”

The image of Rowan laughing as he said that was a madman himself.

Upon hearing that, Lyncia’s body trembled. give birth? what? that monster? I? how?

The strength in the legs is released spontaneously. I didn’t even have the strength to resist.

“… … Whoa.”

“hahahaha. You don’t have to struggle. It will be over soon.”

Rowan’s hand roughly grabs the dress she’s wearing and pokes her index finger into her white belly.

A sharp pang of pain engulfed him.

Thanks to that, consciousness suddenly returned.

Clink.

“Oops!”

Lynchia struggled, and Rowan lost the vial in her hand. The tentacle that fell to the floor wriggled with an unpleasant cry.

“Well. Are you resisting?”

Rowan licked his lips in displeasure and trampled the tentacles crawling on the floor. A foul smell stung my nostrils with a squeak.

“It’s unpleasant.”

Rowan reached out and grabbed Lynchia’s hair and beat her.

roll on the cold floor He had bruises all over his body, making it difficult to move.

“Eugguk, heekeugh.”

“But it’s okay. I knew this would happen and I prepared a lot. Lots of time.”

Rowan slowly put the house bag on the table and started talking.

A black spell stone and various vials were visible through the cracks in the open bag.

“hehehehe.”

Rowan started picking out the vial as if he didn’t care about Lyncia.

Thanks to that, I had some time to spare.

“… … suck.”

In the midst of her shaky vision and clouded consciousness, Lyncia gritted her teeth.

I opened my eyes and gave strength to my stomach. I slowly crawled on the floor using my shoulders and thighs.

“Huh, huh.”

Tears flowed.

There was Melina’s cold corpse in front of her eyes. Reach out and touch her skin.

cold. It’s an immortal corpse.

When Melina’s death was confirmed, it seemed that the billions collapsed.

My heart was so cold that I couldn’t hold back my tears. Lynchia sobbed while holding onto Melina’s body.

Beneath the sound of her sobbing quietly, Rowan rummaged through her bag and spoke to herself over and over again.

“Would you like this one? Although it is a slow and weak body of sepia, the stable taste is the best.”

pleasant voice.

Upon hearing those eerie words, Lyncia came to her senses and understood the situation.

Traitor Rowan wants to make himself give birth to a foreign demon.

There is no one to ask for help. If you go on like this, you will die. Even if you don’t die, it will be even more miserable than that.

This would obviously be an ending that Fried did not want.

Of course, it was the same for Lyncia.

“Whoa, whoa.”

I took a deep breath and tried to regain my composure. Seeing Melina’s corpse, she almost fainted for a moment, but in a short time, she also crossed countless lines.

He overcame the crisis of death several times and survived. Lynchia was fully grown.

‘Why is everyone so upset that they couldn’t eat me?’

A lament I once had came to mind.

My heart was still complicated. The feeling of wanting to give up everything and leave the body as it was was like a chimney. The world I knew all along was shattered. Things that were given for granted also collapsed in vain.

Still, Lynchia had to survive. She had to survive somehow and become the empress.

The reason is?

“just… … Because I want to live.”

I said this to Fried, who would become a protector of the border. I want to live too. It was a mediocre life, but she vowed to survive and become an empress.

The situation was grim. The only help they could hope for was Freed, but even that probably won’t come now. You must be bound by the church.

Only Lincia had to do it alone.

She had no talent whatsoever. nothing.

But only one will remained. That was all in my mind.

And that ember became a detached resolution.

The calmly burning fighting spirit naturally led to action.

less so

He reached out and put his hand on the table and stood up.

Touching your groping fingers is the sensation of cold metal.

The chill of mana drifting in blue. The blade that almost pierced his own heart and even pierced Fried’s palm. The blade of the abominable church. But even that is just Lynchia’s weapon now.

Lincia’s slender hand naturally stood on the blade.

I picked up the blade. The sharp blade of the sword dug into his bare skin and dripped blood, but he didn’t care at all.

I didn’t feel any pain whatsoever. Even the weakness that had settled in the corner of Lynchia’s heart had ceased at this moment.

It reminds me of the corpses of family members who have become flesh. I also thought of Salsu, who ran fiercely with a knife. He also remembered the people in the council who were glaring at him as if to kill him.

Then he saw Melina’s body lying at his feet.

If you look up, Rowan Cassier, who killed Melina, is humming a song and taking something out of his bag. Not even dreaming that Lincia would resist was so insulting that it made her teeth gnash on its own.

“… … .”

Finally, the figure of Freed, a knight who had spared no effort to protect himself, flickered in front of his eyes.

‘If a crisis strikes, fight it without hesitation.’

Fried said: He turned his straight eyes towards her.

The moment I remembered this far, the trembling stopped.

My body moved before I thought.

She took a big step, and the plank creaked loudly.

“yes?”

Rowan sighed and looked back.

Of course, it was already too late.

“Uh huh? what is this Aww!”

Rowan’s eyes were colored with astonishment, and they no longer closed.
