Shouldn’t you go to prison at least once before you die? (28)

“The rebellion starts now. I will be Emperor. I must see with my own two eyes that Serdebella Renee sucking my bottom!”

“… you heard it right? The destination is the imperial castle!”

“Aahh, right. You, head to the Sezaine.”

“What?”

“Bring all the black wizards to the imperial castle. Those guys should be able to teleport with ease.”

“The distance is far, they may be short of blood.”

“What are you worried about? Those worthless old people are still alive. Don’t leave a single drop behind, and take it all in.”

“…….”

“Now, it’s time to let the whole world know about the dignity of the Abitz family!”

The Count, who was originally stupid, but now had completely lost his reason in anger, reached the point where he couldn’t even distinguish anything. As if he hadn’t even thought twice, he rode his horse majestically, indulging in only one delusion of becoming the Emperor.

The hardships of the journey to his final destination were commensurate with his foolishness.

Although I was still in a hazy state, it seems that I am awake to some extent, considering that I can think.

“It hurts.”

The word came out on its own. There was no dryness that I felt when I woke up, but apart from that, my whole body felt like it would break.

From my face to my toes, there is no place that does not hurt. I was sore all the way to my armpit.

“Hold on for a little while.”

“How long?”

“Until you wake up after one more sleep?”

“What if I feel hurt like this for the rest of my life?”

“It won’t happen.”

I closed my eyes and listened to Merson’s voice. Tears keep falling down the sides of my eyes. When did I become such a crybaby?

“What about Chenin?”

“She’s at the imperial palace with Evan. You don’t have to worry. Right now, just think of Erina.”

“Where am I now?”

“The demon realm.”

I let out a laugh. What is it that makes me feel safe as soon as I hear the word demon realm? Why do I have this thought when I was only here once?

“… Are you uncomfortable?”

Merson, who interpreted my laughter differently, asked cautiously.

“I thought that in order for Erina’s wound to heal quickly, it would be better to move to the demon realm, where magic flows a lot. But I guess this was just my thoughts. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to Sezaine.”

Listening to it, I think Sezaine wasn’t so bad. I miss the smell of dawn that filled the surroundings in the early morning and the green meadows.

Just before leaving, Sezaine was helplessly swayed in the center of chaos. Did something happen in the meantime? My heart started to move from longing to worry.

“Merson.”

“Ung.”

Uuggh.

I turned my head in the direction where I could hear Merson’s voice. I slowly open my eyes and see Merson holding me with his eyes just above my face. Like handling a newborn baby chick, he put both of his hands under my head in an overbearing manner despite my small movements.

“Raynan and Pierre are here too?”

“Yes.”

“I have a request. Send those two to Sezaine. To protect the villagers before Serdebella does anything.”

A warm, cozy hand touches my eyelids. Oh, I don’t want to close my eyes yet.

I slightly turned my face away, and this time he stroked my cheek. It’s so light that it almost touches, but slowly.

“Don’t worry about anything, just sleep. When you open your eyes, everything will be settled.”

I had felt it for a long time, but when I faced Merson with any difficult problem in the world, it just felt like a light breeze shaking my hair for a moment. I was convinced without any grounds by Merson’s words, and fell into a deep sleep again.

I felt comfortable because I knew he wouldn’t do anything to disappoint me.

She looked at the blazing dawn with open eyes, and watched everything until it lost its light again and went into rest. And again the weary dawn came down, and disappeared into the darkness.

When it got bright again that morning, she was nervous. She must have been tired because she hadn’t fallen asleep for three days, but Chenin had no desire to lie down in bed and fall asleep.

“Look, Countess. There are a lot of beautiful dresses. Why don’t you just throw away the bloody clothes and choose one of them?”

The maids in the imperial palace said, ‘Throw those stinky clothes in the trash immediately!’ in a friendly way.

“That… Can’t you stop calling me Countess?!”

Chenin, who still had not yet taken off the clothes from the time she was imprisoned, curled her body into a ball, smearing all sorts of filth on the white bed sheets. The fear she had been through at that time couldn’t get out of her body and was controlling her head and emotions the whole time.

Even if she closed her eyes or opened her eyes, it covered her ears to the same scene over and over again. She still seems to hear the screams of the men trying to attack her and Erina.

“Countess…….”

“Stop! I’m no longer Count Abitz’s plaything! I’m Sezaine’s chief’s granddaughter!”

Since she had not gone through the formal divorce proceedings, it was true that she still belonged to the Abitz family. However Chenin did not want to be associated with Count Abitz any longer, not even for a moment. Now she was just thinking, what’s the point of all this?

Her memories of being locked up in the prison were horrific, but the moment she tried to find her way out, the brief memory that occurred came as a shock that could not be matched by any fear. It was lodged so deep that she couldn’t fathom the extent, and a huge, dark rage unfolded before Chenin’s eyes.

“… not human…….”
