37 – Gyewon underground – (complete)

On the other hand, the Empress’s bed.

In this place, where only a small sleeping light should have been turned on, the ambient magic light is illuminating the surroundings.

A silver-haired girl busily playing with her hands next to the dozing lady-in-waiting.

Right. bean.

Right. bean.

Lyncia Ayren read the document and picked up her stamp and stamped the beans. Every time that happened, the embossed symbol of the empire, the golden key, appeared clearly on the paper.

Putting an approval stamp on documents submitted by the administration, almost the only task Lyncia did as an empress.

Documents that should have been completed during the day were piled up on the desk for several days.

“Huh.”

Lynchia groaned. bean. paint another one It is enough to press with moderate force, but my hands feel tingly after doing the operation close to hundreds of times. To this day, I couldn’t even feel it.

Lucy, who had been taking care of herself, also began to lower her head gradually, and now she is looking for a good night’s sleep.

Lyncia also continued to work, overcoming Suma.

The reason why Lyncia, who should go to bed early, couldn’t finish her work until dawn.

It was simple. It was complicated in my head, so I couldn’t get my hands on the work for several days. It was because Lucy’s words shimmered when she was in class, when she was eating, and even when she was sleeping.

love. From the moment she heard those words, Lyncia was clearly agitated.

Right. bean.

I stamped hard and shook off my thoughts.

But that is a thing of the past now. Lynchia was going to calm herself down as much as possible and concentrate on her work.

This was partly due to the fact that the thoughts were organized to some extent.

“Love. That’s nonsense.”

After thinking about it for days, Lincia chose to deny reality.

She said that the reason she fell in love with Fried was because of his outrageous behavior and his external position as a national defender. It’s because you’ve faced a difficult situation that weakens your mental strength, so you naturally rely on it.

It’s like designation of lovingkindness. As a lord, he was heartbroken when he saw the deviation of his closest aide. Lynchia decided to think so.

so that!

Even if Lyncia saw Fried now, she wouldn’t run away. Rather, they are obliged to show the dignity of the empress.

“Well.”

Come to think of it.

Lynchia looked to the side of the bed. There was Freed’s living quarters installed in the form of a partition.

In the meantime, I was sent to the guards quarters because I was on probation, but I plan to call it back from today when the punishment is over.

“…”

Then a thought came to me.

It was less than ten steps from Lynchia’s bed to Fried’s bed.

that it is

Fried sleeps at close range.

Sleep. sleep. together.

In other words, sleep.

After thinking over the text message for a while, Lyncia’s face reddened.

bang.

Because of that, I gave too much strength to the hand holding the seal.

“Ugh!”

Lucy jumped up in surprise and opened her eyes.

“I-I didn’t sleep!”

“……Ugh.”

Lynchia swayed and looked at Lucy.

Come to think of it, isn’t it all because of this lady-in-waiting? By talking nonsense, you only create confusion.

“Lucy, I saw you all sleeping. Did you even snore? It was so bad that the imperial palace collapsed.”

“……sorry.”

“You might become the maid of honor soon, so focus on your duties.”

“Ahahahaha.”

Lynchia pursed her lips and looked out the window. Beyond the shadow of the imperial palace, the moon is showing off its beautiful figure.

Looking at that beautiful scenery, what naturally comes to mind is Fried with eyes of the same color.

“Lucy.”

“Yes?”

“What should I do with Fried?”

“Hmm… After all, it’s better to tell the truth, right? It would be better if we quickly made up the established facts and even raised the ceremony.”

“It’s not like that!”

When I shouted, Lucy smiled and sat down.

Lyncia let out a deep sigh.

“I don’t have any more feelings for Fred than a subject. But, does that empire’s border guard have to be so horny? It’s going to damage the country’s image.”

“……Hmm.”

“I also think it needs some correction.”

“Can’t you look at other women? Only look at the empress?”

“Is that so… huh?”

… … .

After thinking for a moment, Lyncia opened her eyes.

“No! It’s not like that!”

“hahahaha. I’m sorry.”

It’s okay to be comfortable with it, but isn’t this too casual? No matter how much attention was given, Lincia had nothing to say.

Lucy looked at Lincia like that and carefully brought up the story.

“Oh, but did you hear that story?”

“What else?”

Are you trying to bring up some nonsensical story this time?

Lynchia sighed and looked at the papers. Either way, Lucy opened her mouth.

“They said that Ho Kuk-gyeong left the palace in the middle of the night.”

“yes?”

Lyncia hurriedly looked away.

“why?”

“You don’t know? Hoguk-gyeong is a very erratic person. Besides, well, it’s not a big deal.”

Indeed, it is.

Since her probation was lifted, even if she left the imperial palace for a while, she had no right to be caught by Lyncia. After all, today is the Sabbath. Wouldn’t it be possible to spend leisure time like going out to buy things or meeting a close friend for a while?

But that Fried. He went out at night unnoticed.

A feeling of uneasiness began to squirm in Lyncia’s expression. Apparently having read this, Lucy nailed it.

“And yes.”

“……Ugh.”

I don’t want to hear it.

However, Lynchia’s ears are more than anyone else’s, and she wants to hear Lucy’s continued words.

“The gatekeeper says he had a companion.”

“Companion? Don’t be shy and tell me quickly. Who is that?”

“……hehehehe.”

Lucy smiled slightly and continued.

“Knight Milia Liantour.”

“……Huh!”

Lynchia held her breath.

In the middle of the night, I took the woman and went out. At dawn on the same day that the probation measures were lifted.

Furthermore, if Milia and Freed were mixed, wouldn’t they?

Lips are trembling. It was obvious without looking at what those two would have done. Besides, even the scene of the two of them making love came to mind clearly.

“…”

Cong.

As everyone knows, it was the sound of Lyncia’s seal falling to the floor.

slobber slobber.

I walked through an underground aqueduct filled with sludge.

However, unlike when he came in, his steps were quite light.

With this, I got all the harvest I was aiming for.

Although an unexpected figure, the master of the thieves’ guild, appeared, and the fact that he did not want to know that he was close to Fried was revealed, the result of the negotiations was a success.

Hilda said that she would deliver the story to the mouse king and inform the progress. Looking at her expression and tone, it was worth expecting a positive response.

It shakes the second act from the root. It can be seen that the foundation has been laid. It was a definite achievement.

“…”

sneak a glance behind

Milia has been following me without a word since then. For some reason, his head is also lowered.

Now that you’ve heard the shocking story through my mouth, you may be in the process of sorting things out.

You will have to explain your plan after that, but it must be a little difficult given the state of affairs.

After going a little further, we arrived at the entrance of the waterway we had entered. The beggars who were beaten by me when they entered are now lined up in a state of fainting.

Properly lengthen your stride and walk carefully so as not to step on it.

Like that, just before going out of the canal.

“… … Sir Fried.”

Suddenly Milia called me and stopped me.

When I turned around, Millia was putting her hand on the hilt with her head bowed. It was a battle posture that could pull out the sword at any time.

“What is your identity?”

“yes?”

Eventually, Milia raised her head and asked with sharp eyes. It seemed reckless and cold at the same time, as if it would attack at any moment.

I swallowed my saliva at that bloody spirit.

“Milia, what are you talking about… … .”

“… … Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“what?”

“At the time of the Senate Council, Sir Fried saw right through the fact that Chief Edwin was the culprit. Besides, Arwen, the apostle of the Order, said that he knew Sir.”

“……no.”

Without giving her a chance to protest, Milia continued her words with a rapid-fire cannon.

“This time, I talked to the master of the thieves guild on a friendly note, and I posted that I knew from the beginning the plan of the church taking over the underground waterway.”

“… … .”

“Don’t try to get away with it. Lord Fried, tell me who you are. How on earth did you see through the church’s intentions?”

A cold sweat broke out.

I have shown too much to Milia. In order to clear the quest, I had to use all the means I could use with the single-mindedness of protecting Lyncia. Cold rice, hot rice, it was not something to hide face.

But it must have looked very strange to Milia. Even from my own perspective, Fried’s actions are strange, but in addition to that, it’s suspicious enough to see me using my knowledge of the game to solve the problem. It was natural for her to doubt my identity.

‘Damn it.’

I didn’t think that Millia would follow suit right away. However, I didn’t know that she would question me so fiercely.

I realized my mistake. Although naive, Milia is also a guardian knight like Fried and Lautrec. He was never a person who lacked judgment and action.

“Milia, that is.”

He pauses while trying to speak.

How should I explain it? I’m a possessor from another world? You’ve seen a hundred cases of Lyncia dying?

No matter how much milia you are, you can’t believe such an absurd statement.

Seeing my hesitation, Milia hardened her expression.

“Convince me. otherwise.”

Millia lightly drew her sword.

The silver sword shone coolly.

“I can’t help but regard Sir Fried as an enemy.”

If I fight Millia here, I will surely lose.

Before the first act began, I remembered the map battle with Millia. At that time, I couldn’t even confirm her sword attack with my own eyes. Of course, I think I’ve grown more than I did back then, but even so, the gap in power will be overwhelming.

“Milia.”

“I asked you not to call me by name.”

Millia responded coldly.

I’m scolded. You can’t tell the truth, but if you make up a lie, it will be detected.

In the end, tell the truth, but hide what needs to be hidden.

After making my decision, I opened my mouth as politely as possible.

“yes. What you think is right.”

“no way.”

Millia’s eyebrows went up.

“There was a contact with the church… … I won’t deny it. The same goes for knowing Arwen. That’s why I realized that Edwin was the culprit, and that’s why I know about the church’s plans this time.”

oath.

I don’t know, but Fried is a body bound by an oath. Arwen saw me and said that I was destined to sever the bloodline of the imperial family.

“Also…….”

When Milia heard me, her eyes widened in betrayal. The hand holding the sword hilt trembled.

“But that doesn’t mean I’m on the side of the Church.”

“You said you were a member of the Order. How can I believe that?”

“Yes, because I am a protector of the border. Above all, you’ve already protected the Empress several times. I have no intention of harming Her Majesty Lynchia.”

“… … .”

“At the National Foundation Day and the Senate, I acted with the sole purpose of protecting Her Majesty Lynchia. You yourself know that, right?”

Milia hesitated.

yes. The reason she hesitates so much is probably because of my double attitude.

He knows the church’s ulterior motive, but at the same time tries to prevent it. Although my actions are somewhat suspicious, it is certain that I am for the empress’ comfort.

Milia herself must be confused whether this person named Fried is an ally or an enemy.

Actually I’m confused too.

“I’m sorry I lied to you all this time.”

“…”

“But, as I heard earlier, there will be an attack by the Church soon. The Empress is in danger. If we don’t join forces and follow my words, we could suffer great damage.”

“That could be a lie too.”

That’s what she said, but Millia’s hand holding the sword was much weaker.

“Yes. It might be. But I don’t have time. I want you to believe in me and follow me this time too.”

Thanks to Millia’s buying time the other day, we were able to rectify the wrong development of the first act without much damage.

And I have a track record of saving Millia from being killed by Arwen. In a way, a life saver.

Walk into that fact.

silence for a while.

Millia licked her lower lip, looking impatient.

I just held out my hand and nodded.

Her little mouth moved.

“Are you sure that the empress is in danger?”

“Yes. I can risk my life.”

“……Sigh.”

Millia let go of the hand holding the sword. He straightened up and looked straight at me.

“I still don’t understand Sir Fried.”

“Even if you don’t understand, did you understand?”

“……Yes.”

Eventually, Millia let her shoulders droop.

“I know. I’ll trust Sir Fried now. ”

“thanks.”

“Instead of!”

Millia strode forward and met my eyes.

Due to the slight height difference, it was like looking up at them.

“When this is over, you must tell me everything.”

“… … yes.”

“Must be!”

“I swear.”

Milia’s expression softened at my unwavering words.

With a slightly softened face, she smiled bitterly.

“That’s all right. The raid is a week later, you’re the director, right?”

“Right. At that time, they will enter the mausoleum through this place. I want you to close the passage.”

What I presented to Hilda.

Requesting that our knights be stationed at a base that serves as a platform for the underground water canal.

Of course, the guardian knight blocks the watering of the church, which should enter the stage of the second act. That’s why Act 2 won’t work as it was in the game. Because all dead ends are going to be destroyed on the backstage of the underground canal.

“OK.”

“Thank you for trusting me.”

“Because I’m also in a position where Sir Fried helped me. I should repay him.”

It’s also reliable.

However, he soon stepped back and bowed his back hesitantly.

“I’m sorry for aiming the sword…”

“……hahahaha.”

The look is polite and cute.

Worldly ignorant, thoughtful genius.

you were that kind of person

Although somewhat different from what was portrayed in the game, it was still an attractive character.

Suddenly, I remembered the end of Millia in the original story.

In Act 4, she is eaten and killed by Arwen’s familiar, Sepia.

There are many endings in raising an empress, but among them, it was a scene that fits within ten fingers.

A development that can’t even be overcome because it’s even a cutscene. Many gamers lamented.

However, since he entered this world, he desperately intends to prevent Millia’s death. Even after clearing the game, it’s unclear whether or not you’ll be able to return to the original world.

that much.

Even for the best happy ending.

Let’s both survive until the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

I muttered to myself.
