The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

45 – Loyalty to you (7)

‘He’s not dead.’

Yuuna thought as she watched the leader crawling into the ground again.

Although it wasn’t the strongest attack, I thought it would cause significant damage.

However, after Yuuna cut off the creature’s skin and until the creature went into the ground, Yuuna saw it clearly.

‘Playback is fast. ‘You have to finish it in one go.’

Even in that brief moment, his skin was regenerating. In other words, it means that the body hid underground for a while to recover.

“Princess! Are you okay!”

“are you okay. Rather, he’s not dead yet. “It will come back up again.”

“yes… ?”

“He has excellent regenerative abilities. You have to finish it in one go. I’m preparing a big magic trick, so please escort me. And when I give the signal, everyone get away from me. “Because you could get caught up in the magic.”

“Oh, no… “

Beryl couldn’t help but be surprised by Yuuna’s calm attitude even though she was in and out of her mouth.

I knew he had a strong heart, but I didn’t think he was capable of saying something like that even in this situation.

And the fact that she was a much better wizard and stronger than Beryl thought was enough to surprise him.

“… All right.”

But there was no time to be surprised by such facts right now.

Once again the leader was getting closer. Beryl and the knights raised their swords.

“Everyone – escort the princess!”

The knights who heard Yuna’s orders changed their course of action.

A sword could not kill a leader moving underground with a single blow.

The only thing I could trust right now was Yuna’s magic. They had to tie the leader’s feet and wait for Yuuna to finish.

“come!”

The moment the leader jumped up again, Beryl picked up Yuna and kicked the ground.

This is because the leader targeted Yuna’s location precisely this time.

Coo coo coo coo coo coo-

However, this time it did not hide underground.

He twisted his body slightly and this time aimed at Yuna from a different angle.

This time again, Beryl threw herself while holding Yuna.

Yuna was still concentrating her mind to cast large-scale magic.

Although it was actually a short period of time, it felt long, as if time had expanded because it was a moment between life and death.

And only a few seconds later, when the leader leaps up targeting Yuuna once again,

“now! Everyone get out of the way!”

Yuna’s cold, fluttering mana suddenly began to expand, and as soon as they received that signal, the knights and Beryl ran in a direction away from Yuna.

Yuuna continued to cast her magic without blinking even though the leader was approaching straight towards her.

“for a moment… “

However, after the knights left Yuna, there was a brief gap.

Because the magic was so large-scale, the knights needed to be far enough away.

Therefore, Yuna sent a signal a little earlier than the magic was activated.

And the leader’s speed was much faster than Yuna expected.

If things continued like this, the leader would devour Yuna faster than the moment Yuna’s magic was activated.

However, the knights had already moved away from Yuna.

None of them knew anything about magic, so they couldn’t know what kind of situation Yuna was in right now.

For Yuna, there was no other way than to just calculate quickly. It was already too late to avoid it.

‘no… At this speed… ‘

However, the leader’s speed became faster, and as the tension continued, the calculations became slower.

Yuna blamed herself for her stupid choice. But that didn’t change the situation.

The moment the leader’s mouth came right in front of her, and she closed her eyes tightly, having a premonition of the end.

Kagagagak-

The leader’s cry was heard, sounding like scraping hard steel.

Piik-

Fortunately, Yuuna’s magic was activated just before entering the leader’s mouth.

Come on! Come on!

Mana surged around the line drawn by Yuna’s blue mana, which had long penetrated the leader’s body, as if chopping it up.

It was cold and sharp blue mana.

The magic, which seemed to resemble Yuuna’s, took the shape of blue blades in all directions and tore the leader’s body into pieces.

“… !”

Kugung…

The leader, whose entire body was mangled, lost his strength and fell with a huge tremor on the ground.

Only then did Yuuna relax and was able to check the surrounding situation.

“ah… Beryl… ? Beryl!”

Beryl, who was obviously supposed to be far away from him, had collapsed near the leader.

Yuna urgently ran towards him.

Fortunately, he kept his eyes open. There were no visible injuries.

“Why are you here! I clearly ordered him to fall… ”

“The leader’s speed seemed to be faster than expected, so I changed his path. “I’m sorry for arbitrarily violating your command.”

“It was a situation where you could easily die if you got caught up in the magic. “Are you crazy?”

“Even if that were the case, it would have been better than the princess getting hurt.”

Yuuna didn’t understand him this time either.

Why does he want to die when everyone wants him dead and no one risks his life to save him?

I couldn’t understand why he was still trying to protect himself even after getting to this point.

“Fortunately there were no injuries. It’s just a muscle spasm. “I’ll get up and see you right away.”

From noble mtl dot com

“you… ”

He was a person that was difficult to describe even with the word stupid.

Although his actions were completely incomprehensible, Yuna could not bear to be angry at him.

She now felt that he had become different from other knights and other people.

Strangely enough, when I stop looking at it, I keep thinking of Ben. If Ben were alive, wouldn’t he have protected himself like this?

It was a foolish delusion. But I didn’t hate it.

***

From the perspective of the 1st Prince and 1st Princess, it was news that came as a surprise.

When I first heard that Yuna would join in the subjugation, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

It was just that her condition had improved little by little recently and she was appearing in social circles, so I thought maybe she was trying to let go of the past.

In the first place, she was too low in the rankings to compete for the throne, and because she had wasted the last ten years, there would be no nobles who would take her side.

“Yu, Yuuna, you’re amazing. “Since when have you been able to use magic?”

“I’m sorry for not telling you in advance, brother. However, as you know, magic talent is not common, so I couldn’t tell you until I was able to protect at least one of my bodies.”

However, she personally defeated the leader who appeared unexpectedly, and the knights of the Ceramide family clearly witnessed the process.

If she even coveted the throne, she could possibly become the most threatening competitor.

The power of magic was precious and rare, and it was enough to raise the status of the kingdom.

Moreover, considering Duke Ceramide’s temperament, he might actually join hands with Yuna, who had made a great contribution in this subjugation.

Of course, that’s what happens when Yuuna wants the throne.

The first prince and first princess desperately hoped that Yuna would not be interested in the throne.

As a royal, I just wanted to help develop the kingdom’s magic.

“But thanks to Yuna, the subjugation, which could have been dangerous, ended successfully. “If I go back, shouldn’t I receive at least some compensation, brother?”

“Yeah, that’s right. “If it weren’t for Yuuna, the knights of the Ceramide Duke family might have suffered great damage.”

“yes. So, when I go back, I think I’ll talk to the duke. “There are some things I want help with.”

However, Yuna ignored the two people’s wishes and said something meaningful.

About meeting Duke Ceramide. It could have been thought lightly, but for some reason, those words only sounded uneasy to the two people.

Still, the two returned safely to the royal capital without losing their fake political smiles.

“I heard the news. “You have successfully completed the conquest of the Deipson Kingdom.”

“yes. There was a bit of sacrifice, but the result was well worth it. In particular, the one I was in charge of… “

The 1st Prince and 1st Princess, who visited the Duke immediately after returning to the royal capital, were unusually busy showing off their achievements.

Originally, they wouldn’t have done this, but for some reason, Yuna’s presence made them feel urgent.

“Thank you for your hard work. You have returned after an arduous war, so please rest well for a while. “I plan to meet the Fourth Princess for a moment, so I’ll get up first.”

“Now, wait… Peacock?”

But it was already too late.

The duke had already made his decision and went to see Yuuna instead.

The two people looked at his back in vain, but nothing changed.

***

“You finally won the duke’s heart.”

“It’s just the beginning. “As the appearance has been made public in earnest, there will be more severe checks from the 1st Prince and 1st Princess.”

“I will serve you until the end.”

Yuuna has definitely strengthened her position through this incident.

The fact that she was a sorceress was kept a complete secret, but the rumor probably spread among the major nobles knowingly or unknowingly.

Since wizards are so rare in this era, I was worried that she might be in danger, but he said the probability of that happening was low.

Eric has been Yuna’s assistant and magic teacher for a long time.

Through this incident, I also became acquainted with him.

According to the person who came from the first magic tower, Yuna’s magical skills are among the best even on the current continent.

It is said that those who would easily target She, who is also a member of the royal family of Helia, probably will not appear right away.

And even if he does show up, he most likely won’t be a match for her.

The value of wizards was greater than I thought, and at the same time, they seemed to be under many threats.

Still, it didn’t matter. Because I exist to protect her.

I had no intention of letting anyone touch Yuna before everything was over.

“… But you haven’t forgotten.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m talking about the part where I acted selfishly the other day. “You even dared to ignore my words regarding that female knight.”

“ah… that… sorry. But really, there was no problem, and for the sake of the princess… ”

“Shut up. Like I said, that female lady will have you use the room alone, and you will receive the punishment you deserve.”

“… All right.”

Actually, nothing really happened with Ria, and what I did back then was done to save Yuna, but I didn’t particularly feel sorry for her.

Because I knew what her personality was like, I didn’t have the desire to come forward and get criticized even more.

And Lia must have been uncomfortable all this time, but I thought it would be okay if this incident allowed her to use the room alone.

In the first place, they were changing rooms because of orders from Yuna, who had a very cruel personality, so it was unlikely that the other knights would ignore Lia.

“Well, then you…” so that… please… “

“yes? “You heard wrong, princess.”

“… so that… “Do it.”

“yes… ?”

In context, it seemed like Yuuna was talking about the punishment that would be given to me, but I couldn’t really hear what was going on behind it.

This is because Yuna’s voice became much quieter the further back she went.

I lowered my head towards her to hear her properly.

Because of that, Yuna and I’s faces happened to be so close that we could feel each other’s breath.

“Could you say it one more time, princess? “I apologize.”

“that that… “I told him to come to my room.”

“… yes?”

“I asked you to come to my room tonight. Because I’m going to punish you… ”

“yes?”

I couldn’t believe my ears and looked at her, but she seemed sincere.

He was looking straight at me without any intention of correcting his words.

I don’t know if it was her mood, but her eyes seemed to be slightly shaking and her face seemed to be turning red.

“… All right.”

It was a very embarrassing situation, but I had no choice but to say that I knew.
