Chapter 109
Editor : Aru
To put it to the conclusion, it would be said that Ash’s face, which Count Suena had glanced inside the Oval Office window as he left the mansion, was a magical fake.
For reference, it was Alex who enjoyed the glory of becoming Ash’s face for half a day.
I don’t know about anything else, but he looks similar because his height was taller than average.
As soon as the magic was applied at the time, Alex could hardly take his eyes off the mirror with an almost half-spirited attitude.
What is he doing now? It’s magic so it’s probably gone, so he’s adjusted to his own face again, right?
I was thinking that, and suddenly I heard the voice of The Queen.
Her voice, originally felt cold, was cooler.
“Let me ask you one question.”
“Sure.”
“If you knew my purpose of trying to kill you from the start, as you said, why did you accept the invitation to call you to the kingdom in the first place? No matter how prepared you are, it’s like crawling into another’s trap.”
It must be a question of course. I arranged my words for a moment and answered.
“I was curious.”
“You are curious?”
“I was curious about what kind of person you were. So to speak. Simple and humane curiosity.”
I added calmly.
“That’s all. It’s been cleared up.”
“Listening to you makes me wonder one more thing. Did you think you could meet me if you came to the kingdom?”
“Yes.”
“Why? You said you knew my purpose, and I could’ve just ordered my people to kill you from behind without me showing up.”
“We just talked. I was curious about you.”
“………”
“I thought you’d be as curious about me as I am. So I thought you might want to see me in person before you kill me.”
“………”
“And then you really are.”
The Queen’s eyes wriggled.
My answer seemed to go against her nerves. Terribly.
Soon, her mouth twisted and she had a cold smile. She laughed aloud.
“I see. You’ve been reading my action from the start, not enough for all my plans to be discovered by something as green as you are.”
“….….”
“It’s funny. Aha haha. It’s so funny that I can’t stand it…. something reprehensible.”
The next moment The Queen raised her right hand and waved.
Then the man standing closest to her drew the sword and swung it like a lightning bolt.
It was the Count who fell.
“…….!”
“Ugh! Why………why?”
“Why? Why? What do you mean by why? You’re lacking. If I knew you were wrong, I wouldn’t be willing to do it right away.”
The Queen spoke coldly to the fallen Count Suena.
The blood from the count’s body soaked the floor and spread to The Queen’s feet, but she didn’t bat an eye.
Rather, it was this side that responded.
“Oh, how could you…….!”
Sir Davery extended his eyes as if he could not believe it. Then he rolled up his fist and bit his lips in anger.
“I really want to dig out his eyeballs alive!”
“……..….”
“I can’t believe you killed him so easily! It was my share!”
“Why do you hate Count so much?”
Of course, Count Suena was an evil and bad guy who tried to deceive me.
Is that what you want to do? The same reason when he deliberately stepped on his foot openly a few days ago?
No matter how much I asked, he didn’t tell me why.
Anyway, I was looking at the upset Sir Davery, resentful for the hope but he would not be able to pray for blessings in the Count’s death, then The Queen again waved her hands in the air.
And all the knights in the room, including her surroundings, pulled the sword accordingly.
The sound of the blade being pulled out of the blade sharply filled all over the place.
The Queen’s mouth opened.
“I’ll admit it. It was a funny trick. I’ve been humiliated. So what?”
The subdued amber eyes stared straight at me.
“You don’t think that turning things around like that could corner me, do you?”
The Queen put a laugh on her face.
I feel it again, but no matter what smile she smiles, her smiling face doesn’t look like mine at all.
“Look around carefully. What would you do in here, even if you were to tie up the troops outside with monsters? You don’t think you can handle all these people with two people at best, do you?”
I had about three things to refute The Queen’s words.
One. The number of monsters I will call by the enchanted cloth is not enough to keep the outside forces tied together. I don’t know, but I think it’s enough to push them right away and destroy this building. I’m just not giving such an order.
Two. Not two at best. The family brought five articles in total. Three more people are hiding.
And three. In fact, two people can do it all. If one of the two is Ash.
“Wow, that’s great.”
Sir Davery showed his admiration without hiding it.
“This clearly makes me feel like I’m out of the Empire. I can’t believe you trusted this number against His Excellency The Duke. Wow, how refreshing.”
“Davery.”
“Yes, knight Davery Sack.”
“Can I leave it to you for a moment?”
“Of course sir.”
It was not difficult to know what was entrusted. Sir Davery took a few steps to protect me.
“Isn’t that my role already, Your Excellency?”
Though generally, his duty is limited when the absence or busy time of ‘His Excellency’. As soon as Sir Davery added so, Ash kicked the seat with a sword in his right hand.
“Kill them!”
The startled Queen shouted at once.
As a result, knights armed from all sides rushed toward Ash at once.
But the results were not good. None of them fulfilled The Queen’s orders.
Every time Ash swung the sword out of sight, three or four fell to the floor.
‘Wow.’
I don’t know well and I’m not a major in it, but it’s probably hard to keep up with action movies. They need to grind people and mix them with special effects to make it look similar.
“Ugh!”
“Agh!.”
The number of opponents decorating the floor increased. The one who screamed at least was in a good situation.
Most of them were helping to decorate the floor without even being able to attack back.
“…….!”
When the knights failed to do anything, and died in a flurry, The Queen seemed to falter.
Soon after, she winked at this side, and I could see what that wink meant right away.
Sir Davery cut down the article that was creeping behind me.
“She must be thinking I’m like a scarecrow here.”
The Queen’s face hardened to the brim.
“……damn it.”
Soon she turned from her seat. Like trying to run away.
But The Queen could not achieve his will.
That’s because the other three knights on our side, as I mentioned earlier, finally revealed themselves as if it was their turn.
“I’m afraid you can’t go this way. Your Highness The Queen.”
“Phew, we’re barely getting off this tight helmet.”
“This is why the retro-blocking role is so damaging.”
The Queen’s foot stopped.
Three family knights in front of her, blocking the retreat.
Ash, who organizes all the knights in the back, wipes out the blood from his sword.
There was nowhere for her to go either way.
For the first time, The Queen’s face was pale with proper defeat.
“You’d better give up. There’s nothing more you can do anyway.”
The Queen. And The Princess, holding The Queen’s arm tightly and hiding.
The last remaining knight to escort those two.
I approached them, accompanied by Sir Davery. The Queen gnashed her teeth at me.
“What are you going to do with me?”
“Well.”
I haven’t thought about it yet. But there was definitely one thing.
“I can’t save you in any way.”
If I save him, she’ll kill me again.
I’m a man who doesn’t easily believe in the reform in reality. Besides, I think it is foolish to show such mercy when my opponent is already trying to kill me.
‘And even if I wanted to save her, Ash wouldn’t.’
Even if I save her now, Ash would slash her from behind.
The Queen shouted at me when I was thinking that.
“You mean you’re going to kill the mother who gave birth to you?”
“You tried to kill me first, so I don’t think you should say it.”
I shrugged one’s shoulders. I didn’t even feel that line so brazen, perhaps because I already knew who the other person was, by sharing a few earlier words.
It just sounds like crap.
The Queen must have noticed from my manner that her words would not work.
Then she suddenly changed the subject.
“…don’t you want to be a queen?”
What?
“Queen?”
“Think about it. You’re my daughter. Even though you’re wrongly known to be dead.”
The Queen held his arm and took off the shivering princess.
Then he said something incredible.
“Kill this.”
“…what?”
“Uh, uh, Mother?”
“Kill this, and save me instead.
“Don’t you have no basis in the kingdom yet? If I die, I’ll lose my crown to the rebels. But when this kid dies and I live, you’re my only heir.”
