[In flux]

As I looked at the letters on the status screen, traumas that I wanted to bury in my memories began to emerge slowly.

“There were a few times when Asella went completely crazy and went on a rampage like a monster.”

In the latter part, there were times when Asella became a creature without reason and couldn’t even communicate.

Could it be a kind of hidden boss event?

This ending was being captured by the Asella who had become a hidden boss, tortured with magic, and died, resulting in a bad ending.

“The probability of this ending increases because of the Empress?”

Without realizing, I furrowed my eyebrows.

The reason for the increase in the probability of a bad ending.

From now on, Asella will experience negative events that will be the cause of this.

“All I have to do at times like these is the opposite.”

I just have to act differently from that.

“Miss Lucy.”

“Surprise, Teacher?”

As I grabbed the arm of the passing Shenjang, I felt my heart being swept away as if I had encountered a monster.

She’s being too cautious.

“What does it mean to go to the workshop?”

“First, let’s talk outside….”

“I can’t go until I hear the explanation.”

“Oh, boy…!”

Shenjang looked embarrassed and bit her lip.

She quickly leaned towards my ear and whispered.

“There is a magic workshop for the Empress in the underground of the Moonlight Palace. When the Princess is having trouble with her mathematics, she receives special education there. In such cases, you should immediately leave your seat….”

“Is it a form of disciplinary action with magic?”

“Well….”

Shenjang couldn’t answer my question and hesitated.

I understand how it works.

Camilla Hwangbi is a witch with a considerable knowledge of magic.

She is at least a fifth-level magician.

That’s her magic punishment.

“It’s going to hurt quite a bit.”

Despite that, depending on the type of magic, there may not be any evidence on the body.

Camilla shouted at us in a glass-like voice, lost in thought for a moment.

“Doctor, didn’t you hear me? Get out of the room.”

“My title is teacher, but it seems you haven’t heard of it.”

As I took a step forward to respond, Hwangbi’s face wrinkled.

“What did you say?”

“If you plan to punish the princess with magic, I must intervene. As a doctor, I must pay attention to the health of my patient.”

Ashella’s pupils widened at my words.

Her shaking eyes stared straight at me.

“Huh, the healing game has crossed the line.”

Hwangbi laughed at me with a sneer.

“Punishment? This is related to the education of the third princess. You’re in the royal family now. Don’t go too far with your impudence.”

“If the patient is injured, it’s only natural that my duties as a doctor increase. It’s strictly within my job description.”

“Then fix it then. If you don’t want to tarnish the family’s name, sit quietly in your seat. You were chosen here by my nomination and manipulation.”

“Me?”

“Gutenberg Gongja, when you belittled the scriptures in the Viscount, I overlooked it by looking at the Viscount. I also forgave you for wasting the chalice mercifully.”

“Yes. When I saw my father, I looked past your complaint. I also graciously accepted the chalice.”

“This guy to the end…!”

Hwangbi, who was boiling to the tip of her head, was falling apart like the coal of a steam locomotive.

“The reason I didn’t deal with you is one. A brainless thug like you is just a waste of time for me! But this time, you’ve crossed the line.”

“Desperate measures?”

“Ashella is raised in my way. Right now, you’ve intruded on the way of the royal family without qualification!”

“Qualifications as the fiancé.”

Ashella’s pupils widened at my answer.

“This…!”

Hwangbi sharpens her teeth and glares at me.

“Dare you respond to me so confidently!”

“Then, would you let me know what the education that will be given to the princess entails? Depending on the content, I may permit that special lesson.”

“Are you telling me, who is the Emperor’s wife, to receive permission for my actions from you, a mere healer?”

Thud.

Taking a step towards Hwangbi, I spoke.

“Not only am I not just a healer, but I am also the Chief Physician appointed by Princess Asella herself. Please attach the title of doctor when addressing me. I am a member of the Asella Princess faction, the successor’s loyal subject.”

As logical sentences continued to flow from my mouth, Hwangbi’s momentum wanes.

“Hwangbi, it is necessary to have permission if there is a possibility that you, an outsider, with ill intentions, might harm the princess’s body.”

“Are you calling me an outsider, even though I am Asella’s birth mother?”

“Then aren’t you? There are barely any allies within the royal family who can be considered friends, only because we are each other’s parent and sibling. My mistress is the princess alone.”

Seemingly fed up with my statement, Hwangbi unconsciously emitted mana from her body.

It was a sinister black energy.

“The rest of you, leave.”

Hwangbi ordered with a voice as cold as ice. It gave off an atmosphere as if she could swing the blade off the guillotine any moment.

Tanya stood in my way.

“My duty is to protect the teacher…”

“It’s okay. Leave.”

Even though I may not know it as a direct descendant of Gottberg, it could become troublesome for her if Hwangbi implicated her on charges of blasphemy.

Nodding my head, giving her another signal, Tanya exited the room.

Clank.

The door closed, leaving only me, Camilla, and Hwangbi in the room.

“You were curious about the special education content.”

Camilla quickly clapped her hands together, summoning a magic circle.

Four intricate shapes crossed each other, greedily siphoning the black mana.

Formulas were engraved on the periphery, signifying the completion of the spell preparation.

“Wow.”

Asella, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke.

However, the princess seemed to be solely focused on the magic, as if she couldn’t hear her words.

“Why don’t you experience it yourself? Whether it will be beneficial or detrimental to Asella, why don’t you feel it with your own body?”

As soon as Camilla flicked her finger, the spell was cast.

Kwoong!

At the same time, a powerful weight pressed down on my whole body, as if I was crushed by a pile of rocks.

“Ugh.”

It was a gravity manipulation magic of the 4th level.

The gravity in the spot where I stood became several times stronger.

The pressure became so strong that I couldn’t stand in place. My body was being pulled towards the ground.

“It’s not a magic that leaves scars or injures your body. It’s an important education to make you experience the power of magic,” Hwangbi said sarcastically, snapping her fingers.

-Kugugugu!

The magic circle grew even larger, increasing its power.

…I can’t even breathe now.

The air was heavy, making it difficult for my lungs to move.

My back was bent and my arms were trembling.

‘I wish I was a pawn.’

Are they genuinely thinking of this punishment as education?

It’s nothing more than torture.

I feel like I could collapse at any moment.

My upper body is already as limp as a hedgehog.

But I somehow manage to hold on with my legs.

“You really won’t kneel even in this state,” said Asela, her mocking personality clearly resembling Hwangbi.

Camilla is a woman who always disrupts and raises the probability of a bad ending, which I dislike.

I have no intentions of showing Hwangbi the image she desires.

I forced up the corners of my mouth, which had become as heavy as a lump, to reveal my teeth.

“My knees are only meant to kneel for the lord.”

Hwangbi’s eyes grew even more intense.

Hmm, I’ve seen those eyes somewhere before.

Suddenly, a memory flashes through my mind like a spark.

-So you won’t even kneel, you’re the healer of the Hero Party.

Ashella sneered with a demonic expression.

It was the expression she had seen countless times in the final scenes during the ten years of repetition.

To me, it looked like the face of Hwangbi and the face of the Golden Witch were overlapping.

The vision seemed blurred with noise.

The blood couldn’t reach my brain due to the increased gravity, perhaps bringing on blackout.

It was like a fantasy just before losing consciousness.

Or maybe it was a picture shown by my brain, sensing something.

I see a face that I don’t want to think about.

“Who dares to touch the offering dedicated to the Emperor of the Empire?”

In Empress Ashella’s tone, there was a natural poise and dignity.

It feels quite different from the tick-tocking now.

“Now that I think about it, she resembles Camilla.”

Naturally, parents and children would resemble each other.

Talent in magic and genetics determine many things, from appearance to physical performance and mental tendencies.

However, of course, one cannot ignore the environment.

I had a hunch that Camilla had a significant influence on Ashella becoming a mad villain.

“Why now?”

The thought came to me.

“Isn’t it beautiful? The day the curse ends.”

Curse.

Ashella frequently mentioned the word.

As for what she was thinking, I couldn’t guess.

“Try to withstand this as well.”

Just as Hwangbi raised her arm to create another magic circle.

“Perceive!”

A golden magic circle pierced through her magic.

It was a magic disturbance.

“Ugh.”

I gasped for breath fiercely and held my chest.

When I raised my head, Ashella reached out her hand towards Camilla.

A golden mana flowed through her small hand.

“… Asella?”

Hwangbi’s face appeared puzzled as if she didn’t understand what was happening.

“What are you doing now?”

Asella, as if fully prepared, responded to Camila while shooting fire from her eyes.

“Take your hands off my belongings.”

It was a familiar tone.

It was a piercing voice that could be heard when Asella was angry, like an ice pick breaking a frozen lake.

“Immediately.”
