C180

The entire area was instantly dyed black.

Shwaaa-. Shwaa-.

A gentle breeze blew through the cave, along with the ominous vibrating sound of the air.

And there was a person crouched in the corner of the altar, watching the devil descend.

It was Mia Binoche.

-------------------------

Long before the 4th Queen appeared, she came to this place to start exploring the cave's basement, searching for materials on demon summoning rituals.

After Albert's death, the witches' surveillance of Mia had weakened.

Mia, who secretly escaped from Marquis Franois while he was summoned to the judicial power for illegal fundraising through bribes, was reading books about demons in the cave.

"Marquis Franois said that sooner or later the passage to the demon realm would open, and a red moon would come out...."

Biting her lips, she read the written notes.

"I prefer... making a pact with the devil...."

She could no longer believe in the 4th Queen.

She boasted that she would kill Deborah Seymour, but all the plans failed.

"The 3rd prince is even more stupid."

Princess Deborah, far from dying, has received a birthday gift that every young woman envies and is now trying to take her place as the "Saint."

"There are some priests who even suspect that I am a fake."

Fake.

After hearing the news that Princess Deborah was alive, Mia never had a good night's sleep.

She suffered terrible nightmares every day, and the more nervous she became, the deeper her hatred for the princess grew.

"If she died, I could remain as a Saint praised by everyone as good, not as a forgery."

When Princess Deborah disappears, the 4th Queen will stop creating rifts, and naturally, the people of the Empire will consider themselves blessed by the gods.

"Yes. Once she disappears."

It was she herself who volunteered as she walked through the slums.

However, a foolish princess who has enjoyed all kinds of wealth and luxuries is a saint. It's unacceptable.

"How can I summon a strong demon?"

The method of summoning a demon was quite abstract like a poem. The only passage she could understand was that she could be connected to the devil through blood.

Mia pushed a sharp blade into her arm and let her blood drip onto the six-pointed Lucifer summoning circle.

Swallowing a sharp pain, she was looking at the magical circle purging blood when she heard the sound of footsteps.

Mia quickly hid in the narrow space behind the altar.

"4th Queen?"

She held her breath as she watched the 4th Queen with a disheveled appearance.

The 4th Queen, who suddenly cut her arm while running wildly on the path, cursing Seymour, looked insane.

Mia, trembling as she watched the queen's blood dripping at her feet, suddenly swallowed saliva when everything around her darkened.

She couldn't see anything, but an intense and eerie presence seemed to suffocate her.

"Th-that!"

"Divine power took magical form!"

As soon as the divine power took the form of a sharp arrow, it flew fiercely toward the Queen.

"Deborah Seymour!!"

However, the light arrow was destroyed by the black energy emitted by the queen.

"How dare you touch my precious son, who will become emperor!"

"Emperor? Who recognizes that guy as an emperor?"

Princess Deborah sharply retorted, and the queen gradually lost her composure and began to run wildly.

Duke Seymour's paternal love and the appearance of a daughter protecting her father broke the 4th Queen.

The black scales attached to the queen's arms gradually increased in scope, and half of her face turned black.

She let out a sharp cry as she emitted black magic.

"My son! Where is my son, Javier? Give me that child right now!!"

"The third prince is already done. Due to his endless greed!"

Deborah exclaimed as she cast divine magic.

"Be careful with your words! You little witch! I will make sure you don't see the light for the rest of your life by taking you to the depths of hell!"

"How dare you?!"

Then Duke Seymour roared with an angry voice.

He, who had always maintained his composure, roared intensely and created a seventh-class magical power condensed ice spear that pierced the queen's chest.

"Why my daughter...? Why are you harassing my daughter who has done nothing?"

The 4th queen wasn't the only one who was angry about the loss of her son.

Duke Seymour felt helplessness as he continuously suppressed his rage over and over again.

After the library incident that endangered Deborah's life, Duke Seymour was forced to exercise perseverance, resisting his desire to overthrow the Empire by leading his own men at any time.

"I'm fine. Anyway, I survived."

"Deborah...."

"I will definitely survive. So don't worry."

On the day of the fire, she returned exhausted and smiled helplessly at him, but when she remembered Deborah's expression, she had to unleash the anger she had been holding back.

Duke Seymour showed superhuman power and cast high-level ice magic one after another, and the 4th queen began to be caught in the overwhelming strength of the seventh-class archmage.

Duke Seymour quickly launched a total attack against her, who began to transform into a black dragon instead of a human.

Wings sprouted from the back of the 4th queen, who twisted her body, opened her mouth, and exhaled a breath as black as a demonic dragon from the demon realm.

The forest touched by such breath, containing poisonous ingredients, quickly lost its vitality and turned black.

"That is....."

Princess Deborah's eyes widened.

It was because of the dream scene that suddenly came to her mind.

"Deborah! Be careful!"

At that moment, Duke Seymour hastily embraced Deborah, and black flames shot up behind him.
