Chapter 245

-I humbly greet the future Crown Princess.

I sincerely congratulate you on reaching adulthood.

Are you doing well?

I am.

Benjamin Fluas. The Prince of the Sorsen Kingdom slowly stopped his quill as he was writing the letter.

-I am.

“I am doing well.”

Benjamin murmured in a low voice. Of course, these were words he couldn’t write on paper.

“I am doing well….”

No, actually.

Yes, actually.

“….”

I am not doing well at all.

I am longing for you.

I am spending my days sustained by the compassion I received from you.

Therefore.

“…I am doing well.”

You seem to have become my scar.

I have no intention of erasing it.

I think I will probably live such a life forever.

I hope my entire body is filled with traces of you.

“….”

Since when have you.

Since when have you penetrated through me like blood vessels?

“….”

Unable to write any of those words, the pen tip merely wandered over the paper, having to swallow ink several times.

“Your Highness Benjamin!”

It was then that the door burst open. Golden eyes that shone like wheat raised their gaze.

There was only one person in the Sorsen Royal Palace who could commit such rudeness.

“What is it, Sir Trini.”

Sir Trini, sent by Tulia. He had now even received the tremendous position of direct Knight Captain to the Prince of Sorsen, but….

Benjamin always thought to himself that Trini was actually like his nanny. Or perhaps something like the first gift Tulia had given him.

Still, they had built quite a solid relationship of trust. This wouldn’t be bad either.

“A conflict has erupted between Grand Duke Frazier House, the Briyang Imperial Family, and the Holy Nation!”

Benjamin’s eyes grew sharply cold.

“Which side is leading?”

“Grand Duke Frazier House is leading! They’ve dispatched knights to the Holy Nation, holding them responsible for the Saint’s poisoning!”

“They dispatched knights to the Grand Temple….”

Benjamin chuckled.

“Even if you searched through all the history books, you’d never see such content.”

“What shall we do, Your Highness?”

In such cases, the Sorsen Kingdom also had to dispatch an envoy to the Alliance Council according to the Kingdom Alliance agreement.

“Form an envoy first. Send Count Buchicus as the leader and make Sorsen’s position strictly neutral. Leave the rest to the Ministry of Rites.”

“Yes!”

The Sorsen Kingdom had already completely fallen into Benjamin’s hands. Not a single person remained who paid attention to the King who had become a vegetable.

“Sir Trini.”

“Yes, Your Highness?”

“You said the Frazier House is leading the search party.”

“That’s correct!”

“Grand Duchess Tulia. Did she also….”

Like someone with a bruised vocal cord, Benjamin’s voice sank low and hoarse.

“Did she also go to the Grand Temple?”

“Yes. Your Highness Benjamin. She is effectively commanding the Frazier Knights dispatched to the Grand Temple.”

Benjamin stared into empty space for a moment. Dust particles slowly floating under the sunlight. Those insignificant things would scatter under the light forever.

They would gladly leap in and be grateful for the warmth.

Even if that light wasn’t shining on them alone.

So it doesn’t matter.

It never mattered from the beginning.

“Prepare. I need to go to the Grand Temple.”

“Understood, Your Highness.”

As soon as Trini quickly withdrew, Benjamin also rose from his seat. He opened the deepest secret drawer of his desk.

This massive desk had as many as 9 complex keyholes arranged like a maze, and if you inserted the wrong key even once, the maze would become even more complicated.

Inside this complex secret drawer was nothing other than a single map.

This was such a precious item that it would be difficult to obtain even for a thousand gold pieces.

It was a map showing the entire Grand Temple.

Even for Count houses and above, maps showing the structure of Lord’s Castles were treated as top secret. The Grand Temple went without saying.

When he was asked to secretly kidnap and sell children, Benjamin had laughed at them. It was a deal he had no intention of accepting from the start, but.

Benjamin at that time was in such a greedy state that he wouldn’t let even a handful of sand slip through his fingers.

To have Tulia, to buy her.

It was a time when he was greedily gathering all the wealth in the world.

Benjamin used some luck and sharp trading skills to secretly obtain this map worth a thousand gold pieces. And he stored it in a very deep place.

Sir Trini’s report echoed in his head.

“The Kingdom Alliance plans to formally object to this situation with the Briyang Imperial Family and Grand Duke Frazier House….”

Benjamin tilted his chin slightly to the side. He didn’t care whether the Saint was poisoned, crushed, or starved to death. What did it matter to him whether she lived or died.

But if a certain woman was involved in that place, the story became different. Very different indeed.

Tulia Frazier, who would mercilessly strike down anything she didn’t like, anytime and in any way.

If there was a difference from other power holders, it was that her standards were too high. But she herself didn’t seem to know it.

Tulia, Tulia Frazier had set her moral standards high. So high that she was a Grand Duchess who could only be endured through love.

What she needed most right now would be time.

Benjamin, who had put the map in his chest, rose from his seat.

* * *

“…I thought we’d have enough time.”

I stood with my arms crossed, leaning to one side.

“Won’t it be enough?”

A search party of over 10,000 people, including knights and soldiers, was ransacking the Grand Temple indiscriminately.

But what was discovered….

‘109 secret chambers?’

And they were still searching. The Grand Temple was far too vast and excessively secretive.

So where is this place.

Where are they capturing and killing children.

Where do I need to go to see the truth I want!

‘The terror of the abyss is that there might be even more.’

The discovered secret chambers were immediately searched. But it wasn’t easy. The priests clung like leeches while treating the knights like Satan.

It was so bad that Leon Frazier ran his hand through his hair and spat out in irritation.

“Damn it. These bastards are really annoying, should I just kill them all and send them to hell?”

Should we?!

Should we all go straight to hell together?!

Should I show them a mass slaughter scene that will go down in history?!

Of course, this was just talk and couldn’t be executed.

“Tulia.”

“Brother Lisian!”

I quickly moved my steps. Lisian was wearing a silver gleaming helmet, and when he lifted his face guard, his dreamlike beautiful face was revealed.

“The alliance… has departed… they say.”

“The Kingdom Alliance? That’s fast?”

I wore a mocking smile.

“I didn’t expect the High Priests to respond this quickly.”

“Probably… the alliance will… oppose the Frazier and Imperial Family’s Grand Temple… search.”

“So that means we have to withdraw.”

“Tulia.”

I was lost in thought with a frown, then lifted my head.

“Hm?”

“If you… want it.”

Lisian’s eyes sparkled softly with a deep light.

“I’ll… declare war.”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

“War?”

“Yes.”

“Against the Kingdom Alliance?”

“Yes.”

“No! No, brother. It’s okay. War?!”

“Tulia.”

Lisian retied the ribbon on my cloak as he spoke.

“When I was young… I made a promise… with Mother.”

His touch was so delicate, it felt like a feather tickling my cheek.

“If there’s something… you’ve decided to protect… protect it even if… you have to sacrifice everything.”

The thought that crossed my mind was that Mother, born with Guardian bloodline, was truly like that. How could someone be so bold and wonderful.

I deliberately asked playfully.

“So you’re protecting me because I’m your younger sibling?”

“No.”

“No?”

“Tulia.”

Lisian’s smile deepened.

“You won’t… remember but…”

“…Hm?”

“When I was very… young… I once vowed to protect you… as my one and only… Lady.”

“As a Lady?”

This was really the first time I’d heard this, so I blinked.

“When? I don’t remember.”

“Tulia, when you were… one year old…”

“Huh?”

For a moment, I doubted my ears and asked back.

“When I was how old? One year old?”

“Yes.”

A gentle laughter was woven into Lisian’s voice.

“When you were… one year old.”

Wasn’t that just children playing around?

I thought lightly and smiled brightly.

“What kind of knight’s oath is that.”

“I was… serious.”

“…”

Lisian smiled faintly. A soft shadow fell on his moonlight-like face. It was a face where an elegant smile lingered.

“Ridiculous, right?”

I shook my head as if enchanted.

With Lisian’s face, everything seems okay…

Eventually Lisian laughed out loud.

“Of course, it was… before I even received… knighthood but…”

“…”

“I will… protect you. Tulia.”

My nose tingled for no reason.

Come to think of it.

In , Lisian had never offered a knight’s oath to Coriko either.

I just let it pass then, but thinking about it now…

Since he had already offered his knight’s oath to his one-year-old younger sibling, Lisian couldn’t offer an oath to Coriko, who was his female protagonist.

I wiped my reddening eyes and said.

“I’ll definitely tell you if I want to start a war. Brother.”

Lisian lifted my hand to his lips and answered with a smile.

“Please do.”
