Chapter 141

EP.141

There were no monsters left in the open plateau. The snow was evaporated by a high-voltage laser, revealing bare ground.

‘It’s neat.’

Ruid really liked this magic. Irene smiled quietly and stroked her head.

“As always, today’s magic is perfect. “I killed him well, leaving nothing behind.”

“Where is Sister Amelia?”

Ruid got down from Irene’s arms and looked around.

I came to look for Amelia, but there was no one involved.

“They kicked it out.”

“uh?”

“You dared to hit Ruid in the face, but you can’t just sit there and watch, right? “He is currently on probation.”

Irene was still smiling.

However, the image of Irene beating Amelia like a dog came to mind. It’s a sight I’ve seen often.

“There’s no need to go that far...”

“It is a serious crime to steal game, so there is nothing we can do about it.”

“huh?”

“You took the game that Louis worked so hard to kill, right?”

Irene is not good at remembering people’s names. So, they are often called animal names such as ‘dog’ or ‘cat’.

It may have been for the same reason that Shearer was referred to as prey, but for some reason, it felt as if they were not treated as the same person.

‘He’s not even human.’

Even though he was already dead and had nowhere to vent his anger, Ruid shook his head, still angry at Colon’s death.

“that’s right. Sister Amelia was bad. “It was the prey I was going to kill.”

“Well. “I guess I should have beaten you up even more.”

“it’s okay. “Because I don’t know you anymore.”

This image lingered in Irene’s eyes and then disappeared.

She said it jokingly.

“Then I am the only older sister of Louis.”

“that’s right. “I only have Irene now.”

Ruid said without thinking. Irene felt as if an electric current was flowing throughout her body.

It’s a nice sound to hear.

Of course, Ruid didn’t notice that Irene felt that way.

‘First of all, I want to see Amelia.’

“So where is Amelia now?”

“You’re probably crying in the corner of the practice room by now.”

“okay. “Thank you, sister.”

“Are you going to see Amelia?”

“huh?”

I caught Luid as he was about to leave.

Irene secretly wrapped her arms around Ruid’s waist.

“uh...”

Ruid answered a little hesitantly. Irene’s reaction was a little strange.

“It’s too easy to forgive already.”

“I don’t mean to forgive you.”

“Showing Louis’ face is forgiveness in itself. Rather, why don’t you go see something fun with your sister?”

Irene said, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“Something fun?”

“Something fun.”

Ruid was honestly worried about Amelia. So I wanted to go as quickly as possible.

“sorry. “I want to go see my sister.”

“hmm...”

Irene spoke for a long time. He had an openly sad expression on his face.

“It’s too much, Louis, to even ban me from entering.”

When Ruid heard those words, he was momentarily taken aback.

“No, it’s not like that...”

“I understand. “Don’t worry about your sister and go to Ame.”

It was a face that absolutely begged me to pay attention to it.

‘Are you really upset?’

It is difficult to know Irene’s thoughts. Even though we are a family, there are many times when we think, ‘What on earth are we thinking about?’ In other words, I was not good at expressing my emotions.

But I was feeling sad. Ruid was confused about how to react to this rare sight.

“Ah Okay. What’s fun? I miss you.”

And I immediately realized where this was.

“...here.”

Iron bars and various torture devices.

There are scattered stains on the walls and floor.

Ruid wasn’t stupid enough not to notice that this stain was blood.

This is a prison. Otherwise, it is a torture field.

“It’s a place where disobedient cats can open their mouths.”

The correct answer seems to have been the latter. It was Ruid’s first time in such a secluded place. Although it had grown very beautifully, it was also not a place for a duke’s son to come.

“Why are you here...”

That was what Ruid was most curious about. Irene smiled brightly and held her hand.

“You will find out soon.”

I walked with Irene, feeling nervous.

As I turned the corner, one of the knights guarding this place quickly stood up and saluted.

“Thank you for your hard work. “You can go rest for a while.”

Irene said kindly. The quick-witted knight immediately bowed and disappeared.

For some reason, Ruid’s heart was pounding. The air here is somewhat scary.

“I was sad to hear the news. “Luid is trying to do something, but Amelia is blocking him without even noticing.”

Irene shook her head.

“How long are we going to let you be a child? “He is now a grown Windsor.”

Irene gently stroked Ruid.

However, Ruid could not respond in any way.

The scene right in front of me was just as shocking.

“Off-”

He is a familiar person. It’s impossible not to know.

Galahad, an imperial knight who sympathized with Shearer when he killed Colon.

“So I prepared.”

He was hanging on the wall with his hands and legs tied with chains –

his body was covered in blood and no part of it was intact.

The right leg and right arm were turned in opposite directions, and although the face was fine, there was a lot of blood in the mouth.

“Kill me, kill me.”

He opened his mouth with difficulty. Irene walked right up to the front and backed away.

“This criminal killed Colon. Amelia seems to have naively thought that Shearer was the only culprit, but she complained a few times when Rosalie cut out her soul. “He participated in killing Colon.”

Ruid was so shocked that he couldn’t open his mouth. All I could do was see the image of Galahad in my field of vision and hold onto my rapidly beating heart.

“Still, I’m glad that one person is alive. Thanks to you, I was able to find out. “The Empire was preparing for war against us.”

“...War?”

“okay. Maybe he’s figured out Damon’s plan. “Because Damon, who was second in line to the throne during the worst time in history with Windsor, is here.”

Irene continued talking to Ruid, who was shocked, with a smiling face.

“Louis’ judgment is right enough that I want to praise it. “He killed the people of the North, so of course he wanted to kill them himself.”

“Kill me, kill me. please...”

Galahad muttered in a hoarse voice. The corners of Irene’s mouth became darker.

“I left out all the information that needed to be left out. Will you do his favor? “Louis.”

Irene pulled out her sword. He held the blade in his hand so that it was easier for him to hold it, then handed it to him.

Ruid looked at the sword with blank eyes. This sounded like it meant killing someone ‘directly’ with one’s own hands rather than using magic.

And the guess was probably correct.

“Ah, Louis.”

When Ruid hesitated, Irene forced the sword into his hand and spoke kindly to him.

“They say the most painful way to cut someone is to stab them in the abdomen.”

Then he stood up and took four steps back.

Ruid still looked at the sword with a blank expression and then looked at Galahad. I repeated that several times.

My heart was racing and I felt dizzy.

Irene thought of something to ease the worries of her little brother, who was still hesitant.

“Note that-”

Ruid recalled the image of Colon, who had become a total bastard.

He was a knight of Windsor, but he was an old knight past his prime.

He is not a worthy opponent to the Imperial Knights.

“They say this criminal played with Colon, who was fighting back. “Ignoring Shearer’s opinion to kill him cleanly.”

At that moment, something broke in Ruid’s mind.

“Kill him as cruelly as possible. That is the best revenge for Colon.”

Irene was anxious and didn’t say anything more.

This is because Ruid was already standing in front of Galahad with his sword held high.
