89. Limitation (4)

“The Duke’s Knights have crossed the border!”

As the urgent report came rushing in, Glem was once again convinced that the gunshot he had just heard was Ryuie.

The envoy took the shock he had just received as an even greater shock and shouted.

“What are you doing? This is war!”

“No!”

Glem forcibly suppressed his still churning stomach and commanded the nobles.

“You go right now and stop the Knights!”

“We don’t have enough troops!”

“I don’t mean fight them, I mean all of you become hostages! Even if there aren’t enough knights, your numbers are sufficient!”

“What?”

“Wait a minute. The person speaking right now, don’t tell me?”

The envoy looked at Glem with disbelieving eyes.

Though it was the complete opposite of the widely known Crown Prince, Glem’s appearance commanding the nobles just now was unmistakably that of someone in power.

Glem gritted his teeth at his increasingly terrible condition and corrected himself.

“There’s nothing for you to gain by coming out and resisting here, so go back. Be safely escorted to the capital. His Majesty will release you all again through trial.”

Though he said hostages, it essentially meant to give up and go home.

The nobles were flustered as Glem suddenly tried to send them back.

“But we will fight for the rightful rights of Crown Prince!”

“What rights? I’ve already regained my original body and my position is well known. What more do I need to reclaim here?”

Should I use your strength to steal my lover?

Finally, Marquis Kelsus struck out with words that others couldn’t say out of courtesy.

“Yeongae has already gone mad.”

“Shut up!”

“And from what I can see, that madness seems to come from another god.”

Glem’s head began to hurt as if it would split. Beyond the sound of rain, he seemed to hear Ryuie running toward them.

“Ugh.”

Glem felt nauseous again and this time covered his mouth with his palm.

No matter how urgent the situation, he couldn’t keep exposing the Empire’s crisis like this.

So the second set of words that appeared could only be seen by Glem.

You could have been.

My servant.

Glem crushed the messily stained teal letters with his fist. Wherever his hand touched, the teal letters changed to orange.

Glem stared blankly at the letters for a moment and thought.

‘What I gained from the bottom of the swamp.’

The merchants and mercenaries who had entered the swamp to obtain the holy relic all became monsters and fled. Yosua also became Glem.

Everyone thought it was a god’s curse.

‘But which god was it?’

“Crown Prince, this is no longer at the level of tender engagement games. War? That’s also a light expression. Now we’ve gotten involved in the games of gods.”

Marquis Kelsus’s words continued.

Games of gods. Plural.

There is a god called Agatos.

In the theology he had learned long ago, it said that the Emperor had to bring the Empire’s patron deity from beyond the stars through an oath.

But where is beyond the stars?

“We must no longer think within human realm.”

There is another god.

“Even the emotions Your Highness feels may already be contaminated.”

I have loved one person for a long time.

Only one person.

Can a person do that?

Without wavering even a little?

Originally, the heart is something that changes and changes again, betraying and disappointing people.

Why do I still love only Ryuie?

“Agasa.”

Glem suddenly spoke.

“Do you sense the same power as the Crown Prince in me? Can you detect that we share the same blood?”

“What are you saying, Glem?”

Agasa still glanced at the envoy and answered awkwardly.

“Your body is not the Crown Prince’s. No part of it is the same.”

Glem had to ask another question.

“Is the holy relic buried under the swamp really Rkultu’s?”

Suddenly, the realization that had been flashing and bouncing around only inside Glem seemed to transfer to Agasa and exploded.

Agasa’s eyes widened and her mouth fell open.

“The letter about the holy relic contaminating the swamp was received before you were even engaged to Ryuie.”

Agasa’s pupils shook.

Until now, she had thought that Rkultu had deliberately spread rumors that one could escape from oaths so that the two separated lovers could meet again.

That way, the missing Crown Prince and the Duke’s daughter could reunite.

But that sacred relic, where the lake had turned into a swamp, had existed since before the two had separated.

“As soon as I became the Saintess, I received a letter from the swamp asking for help. But even when I sent letters asking what kind of sacred relic it was, there was no reply, and I didn’t receive any more requests for help for several years after that.”

Even though it was a request for purification, the strangely earnest writing was scrawled as if being chased.

“If that’s not Lord Rkultu, then the god they worship is…!”

“Heretics!”

‘As expected, this body was created by Agatos.’

Glem only realized this after receiving the divine revelation that kept rising like coughing.

If that was the case.

“I can’t escape and live as Glem.”

Crash!

Along with the sound of the prison bars breaking, what little hope Glem had was also shattered to pieces.

Even so, Glem remained calm.

Scattering the fragments of his ruined plan, Glem spoke to the envoy who still couldn’t grasp the situation.

“I’ll grant your request, so cooperate with me now.”

“What did you say?”

“You must have already figured out my identity, so I’m saying you must help me unconditionally.”

The envoy nodded while looking at Glem, whose mercenary disguise had been completely stripped away.

Thinking there would be nothing more to surprise him, Glem drew his sword.

But Ryuie defied expectations and managed to surprise Glem once again.

“Did you come alone?”

“Yes!”

Ryuie replied with a cheerful shout while raising her knee. Ryuie’s gun barrel was already pointed at Glem as she entered, stepping over the fallen door.

“Thank you.”

Glem attacked Ryuie without hesitation any longer.

At 190cm tall, with an upper body so thick that even grasping the narrowest part of his waist with both hands wouldn’t be enough, he body-slammed her.

Ryuie immediately fired her gun, but it was nowhere near enough to stop the charging beast.

‘I can’t see her head because of her hair!’

Even though she fired three shots in succession to ensure a hit, Glem fearlessly pounced on Ryuie and knocked her down.

Ryuie’s body flew backward like being hit by a bull before she could even realize she had been struck by Glem.

Crash!

He had charged with such force that both their figures disappeared beyond the wall in an instant.

“Your Highness!”

“Let go of this!”

“Ryuie!”

“Get out of the way!”

Everyone rushed over in shock. In the dust and raindrops, a scene that would make anyone call the authorities was visible.

Glem, who had pinned down Ryuie, was forcefully gripping and restraining her wrists. In that brief moment, black lightning had crackled up and seared the space between them.

As if it had truly been an all-out body slam, Glem declared while panting.

“I was waiting for you to come.”

At Glem’s words, Ryuie’s foot, which had been about to kick his solar plexus, flinched. Frustratingly, Glem’s face was still having its effect.

Glem didn’t miss that opportunity either and pressed down, embracing her with his thighs.

Regardless of his feelings toward Ryuie whom he had met again, he needed to escape from the Empire where the gods were currently exercising their dominance.

He was tired of trying to persuade Ryuie.

Now even he couldn’t explain himself.

Glem only looked down at the rain-soaked Ryuie with his stomach still churning from divine revelation and his half-crazed eyes.

They say seeing a crazy person makes you think crazy thoughts.

Glem’s mouth opened.

“From now on, we’re going on our honeymoon.”

“?!”

People once again misunderstood whether Glem was conveying God’s words, but this time no green slime dripped down.

Glem had said something insane while being completely sane.

“You are my prisoner, and you should take me prisoner too.”

Glem felt dizzy as he looked down at Ryuie, who was looking up at him with squinted eyes.

‘Now I can’t even escape through death.’

Only what he wanted to give Ryuie remained.

Blood trickled from the nose of the uncontrolled Glem. Or perhaps he had been hit in the head by the gun Ryuie fired.

Ryuie was everywhere around him.

‘Good.’

Glem’s eyes completely glazed over.

“Before you marry another man, you’ll have to marry me.”

And he kissed her deeply.
