Volume 1 - CH 35

When Cecilia launched the magic beacon, the two lecturers witnessed the smoke signal, just as Cecilia intended.

“Damn! I really wish this hadn’t happened!”

Caesar immediately stood up.

If he went as fast as he could, he could reach the location of the smoke in a matter of minutes.

However, the fact that a problem had occurred means that the students were in danger.

Therefore, the urgency to get there as soon as possible consumed Caesar.

But────

“Oh my, oh my, where are you heading to?”

Unlike Caesar, Joseph was calm.

Despite the fact that his students were in danger, he was relaxed and put his hand on his chin.

“You! Don’t you see that signal?”

“Ee, eee…… I can see it, okay? I can see it clearly and distinctly────so, based on that, where-are-you-heading-to?”

Those were unbelievable replies.

Even though he had confirmed the magic signal, he still did not want to go there.

It is an unbelievable statement for a lecturer.

“Are you kidding me? Your students are in danger! We have to go there right now!”

Caesar’s face contorted into a furious expression.

Still, Joseph took in his words with a leisurely glance at the smoke signal.

“Hmm…… well, you went crazy first, didn’t you? I think I’m a little ahead of schedule……, but well, schedules are schedules────it’s only natural to break ’em.”

Those words were incomprehensible to Caesar.

So Caesar grabbed his great sword and got ready to rush to the spot.

(This is no time to be dealing with this guy…….!)

He somehow knew that Joseph must know something, must be involved in some way.

However, while they were here questioning and answering, the student who launched the signal was in danger────so he had to go.

And then────

“Oh my, oh my, where are you heading to────I thought I had asked you that?”

A large rock shot out of Joseph’s hand.

It is aimed at Caesar’s back as he run────

“Hmph!”

But Caesar turned around and smashed it with his greatsword into pieces.

Joseph was not finished there. One after another, he launched rock bullets without chanting.

None of them reach Caesar. It was natural because of his S-class ability.

However────

“JOSEEEEEEPH!!! Don’t get in my WAAAAAAYYYY!!!”

“Don’t say such a boring thing…… it’s the first time for me, to face an S-class!”

It’s enough to stall him.

It was extremely difficult to get to the forest as quickly as possible while dealing with the magic he was unleashing.

Hence, Caesar bites his teeth.

Frustration and anger flared up────rightly, he embodied indignation.

“BASTAAAAAARRRRRDDDDD!!!”

“Kuhuhuhu……, come on, let’s play with me!”

Caesar, who was in a furious rage, flung himself at Joseph.

♦️♦️♦️

“Haa…… haa……!”

Emilia run through the forest.

She run through the forest without regard to the branches that occasionally got caught and caused her fair skin to get scratched.

“P……PRINCEEEEESSSSSSS!!!”

Byrne, who was calling out to her, followed behind.

Without thinking, he chased after the princess with tremendous momentum, even if he hit the trees, aiming at her.

“O Blue Thorns!”

Emilia turned around and activated her advanced magic.

Then, thorns that looked like they were made of ice appeared from the area and instantly began to entangle Byrne.

The thorns, which boasted fantastic beauty, had countless needles, and they deeply pierced Byrne, who had stopped moving.

But────

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“Is this still no good?”

Swearing, Emilia began to run through the forest again.

The restraints and stoppage also failed. If this was the case, she had no choice but to adjust her stance and try again.

However, Byrne, in an attempt to keep Emilia from escaping, was coming at her with an inaudible yelp.

“Unfor…… UNFORGIVABLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

She didn’t know what he was saying.

But she did understand that he was going after Emilia in the name of hatred.

(I’m almost at my limit…….!)

At this rate, she would probably run out of magic power first.

If that happened, Emilia, who had lost the ability to strengthen her body and use magic, would be caught easily.

On the other hand, Byrne didn’t look like he had used any magic power.

However, the color of his hair had changed from gold to red and his eyes had completely turned black.

“He’s a monster…….!”

She didn’t even know how Byrne ended up like this.

However, she couldn’t handle him any longer.

“O Wall!”

At the very end.

In order to buy time, Emilia created a thicker, harder, and wider wall in front of him.

She used her mana to the fullest, just to buy time for him to come.

Emilia pulled out a crystal from her pocket.

And just as she was about to smash it on the ground with all her might────

“PPPRIIIINNNNNNNNNCCEEEEESSSSSSS!!!”

“Wha?”

Easily, the wall was shattered with a disastrous yell.

Then, with a rush toward the surprised Emilia……, Byrne’s thickened arm finally grabbed Emilia’s chest.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“Gahaa……!”

The impact caused Emilia to drop the crystal that Julis gave her.

The crystal shattered as a result, but instead, Emilia was grabbed by Byrne and hit the trees with his body.

“……!”

A severe pain stroke her back.

It was a pain she had never experienced before. She had never experienced such pain when he lived in the palace.

Byrne then grabbed Emilia and swung at her with all his might, throwing her straight into another set of trees.

“~~~!!!”

Emilia was thrown and crashed into another tree.

She avoided fatal injuries by protecting her head and hitting her back, but some of her bones were still broken.

(Hurt……It hurt…….s)

She felt like crying.

Even for me, I am not being a princess because I like it, nor am I being a resented person.

Still, I am just trying to fulfill my responsibilities…… as a princess.

I’m being a decoy…… not because I like it.

I’m being resented……not because I like it.

I’m being a princess……not because I like it.

Emilia was in pain and her thoughts were becoming more and more negative.

(I also wanted…… to be a normal girl…….)

If she wasn’t a princess, maybe she wouldn’t be in danger of her life like this.

Now, this very reality was…… making the calm Emilia unable to remain calm.

“Gugaaa…….”

Perhaps because he succeeded in capturing Emilia, Byrne’s earlier frenzy subsides, and he slowly turned his feet toward Emilia.

Emilia’s whole body was in pain and she couldn’t use as much strength as she would like, even though she wanted to run away.

“Fufu……”

The monster was approaching.

Yet Emilia laughed.

It was not because she had given up.

It was not because she had broken down in fear.

She knew she was not a princess in the fairy tales.

And it was────

“To torture a frail girl like that leisurely────isn’t that arrogant?”

BOOOOMMMM!!!

With a violent crash, the voice of a boy could be heard.

At that moment, Byrne’s body was blown into the trees on the opposite side of Emilia.

The sounds of vegetation breaking and shattering follow.

Then the boy appeared, apologetic, and his expression faltered.

“My bad…… for being late.”

“No…… it was all right.”

“No, it’s not all right at all.”

Julis looked down at Emilia’s body.

The clothes were in tatters and there were glimpses of scars and blood peeking out in places.

“I’ll have Cecilia heal you later……. A girl shouldn’t have scars.”

“……Oh my? That’s very kind of you.”

“Shadda────Just sit there and watch quietly.”

Julis turned his head forward.

His back was sturdy, and Emilia felt a sense of safety there.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Byrne arose from the trees.

The wonders should come again, but mysteriously enough…… no fear came to Emilia’s mind.

“Lemme show you the real deal of arrogance looks like────”

Julis irreverently opens his hands.

His figure was so defenseless that it seemed to symbolize conceit.

……It would be impossible for an ordinary girl to experience it.

Such a joy of…… that he suddenly appears in the time of need and saves her.

“Which of the deadly sins is fitting to you, I wonder?”

The sorcerer of the deadly sins stands up to evil to protect a girl in a twisted way.
