Episode 129

A very long time ago, a demon descended to destroy this world.

The demon had a very beautiful appearance.

People think of demons as having terrifying forms, but that’s not actually true.

Demons enchant humans with their very beautiful appearance.

The demon used its beauty to trample upon humans.

Then one day! An angel who could no longer tolerate such atrocities sent a representative!

The angel’s apostle descended to this land and purified the people corrupted by the demon.

The demon tried to take action against the angel’s apostle, but upon seeing their appearance, couldn’t think of anything.

The angel, worried that their beloved apostle might be hurt, gave the demon the power to resist.

The demon who had enchanted countless people completely fell for the apostle’s fragrance.

Thus the divine apostle…

“Just how long do you plan to continue this?”

Yurta irritably turned to look at the woman reciting from a fairy tale book beside him.

It was noisy having the woman constantly read a fairy tale book meant for children.

The woman, seeing that Yurta who had shown no reaction for a while was now looking at her, curved the corners of her eyes.

The woman put down the fairy tale book and tucked her pale golden hair behind her ear.

“Does the young master dislike fairy tales?”

“I dislike Your Highness the Princess toying with me.”

“I’ve never toyed with the young master.”

Yurta swallowed his curses internally.

He had gotten caught by a troublesome opponent.

Not long ago, Yurta had awakened bound in some unknown place.

It was absurd to experience wearing restraints used to bind high-level magical beasts for the first time in his life.

He immediately tried to tear off the restraints and escape this place.

But at that moment.

【Are you awake?】

Princess Evangeline entered the room.

【You don’t know how surprised I was to find you at the bottom of the cliff on the verge of death.】

【…】

【Young master, we’ve met before, haven’t we?】

It was the 2nd Princess, Evangeline, who had saved Yurta after he fell off the cliff.

She had been heading north for matters related to divine weapon delivery.

She discovered Yurta who had fallen to the bottom of the cliff and saved him.

【But why did you tie me up?】

Yurta’s condition was excessive to simply call it being tied up.

Being treated like a beast didn’t feel good.

To his sharp question, Evangeline smiled leisurely and gave an unexpected answer.

【Well, because you’re a transcendent.】

【…What did you just say, Your Highness?】

【I knew the young master showed talent in swordsmanship, but I thought you were just someone with some talent. I didn’t know you were a transcendent.】

【You’re mistaken.】

【I’ve already called several priests to confirm. Denial is meaningless.】

【…】

Yurta’s condition after falling from the cliff was clearly serious to anyone who saw it. So she called priests with divine power to heal him.

In that process, the secret Yurta had been hiding was unintentionally revealed.

It was an extremely awkward situation.

【Why did you hide the fact that you’re a transcendent?】

【That’s none of Your Highness’s business.】

【Would you mind if I told others about this fact?】

That wouldn’t do.

【…What do you want?】

【I like that you’re quick-witted, young master.】

Evangeline and Yurta were merely acquaintances who had met a few times at banquets.

Though they didn’t know much about each other, Yurta had heard rumors about Evangeline.

She was absolutely not someone to be taken lightly.

‘Since she’s a princess, I can’t harm her either…’

He needed to be careful.

He waited for the princess to state what she wanted. With his abilities, there shouldn’t be anything he couldn’t handle…

【Marry me, young master.】

【…If that’s a joke, it’s not funny.】

【Does marriage look like child’s play to you, young master? I’m serious. You’re of marriageable age and so am I, so isn’t it perfect?】

【…】

It was a proposal he never expected. He had definitely gotten into serious trouble.

【There’s no better choice than me for you, young master. Or do you have a woman you’re interested in?】

【…】

【If so, you can keep a mistress.】

A mistress.

Yurta reflexively thought of Rose. Then a hollow laugh escaped him.

She was someone who wouldn’t accept him even if he offered to become her lover.

【It should be generous terms, but you don’t like it?】

【Why marriage of all things?】

【Well, I’m very interested in transcendents. There’s no better way to tie one down. So what’s your answer to my proposal?】

【I refuse.】

After that, Yurta became bound to the restraints, forced to listen to the princess’s nonsensical chatter.

“Is your heart unchanged today as well, young master?”

“I’d like to ask if Your Highness has any intention of giving up.”

The princess didn’t respond.

It seemed she wouldn’t release him until he agreed to the marriage.

“I’ll withdraw for today. But next time, I hope to hear a good answer.”

Ridiculous nonsense.

Yurta didn’t even glance at the princess leaving the room.

Once the princess left, he grabbed the restraints.

Crack!

As if resisting his strength, the restraints emitted a powerful force. When the recoil reached Yurta’s body, he frowned.

His body was already in poor condition.

The only reason he was entertaining the princess’s trivial jokes was to buy time to recover his body.

‘There’s no more time to delay.’

He had to go to Rose quickly.

Even if his body suffered more shock than this.

He pulled at the restraints without hesitation.

Crack!

Ignoring the repulsion bouncing back from the restraints, he applied force and shattered them.

“Kugh…”

His unhealthy body fully absorbed the force bouncing back from the restraints and coughed up blood.

Yurta wiped the blood from his lips.

There were still many restraints left to break.

By the time he had broken all the restraints, Yurta was in tatters.

Leading his body that was on the verge of collapse, he escaped from that place and headed to the northern castle.

And what he heard upon arriving there was the news that Rose had died.

* * *

Rihardt quietly looked down at the woman who had buried her head in his chest.

The woman lifted her head and whispered seductively.

“What are you doing instead of kissing me, Rihardt.”

“…”

“Hurry up.”

She urged him while pulling at his clothes.

Only then did Rihardt become certain.

The soft touch, the woman’s breath, the warmth of the living.

It really wasn’t an illusion.

However, even though the face he so desperately wanted to see was right in front of him, Rihardt looked at the woman embracing him with uninterested eyes.

That wasn’t all. He wore a gentle smile as he removed the slender arms that were embracing his waist.

“…Rihardt?”

The woman, sensing something strange, asked.

“It was so realistic that I almost got fooled.”

“…”

“Who are you.”

“…I’m Roji. What’s wrong with you.”

“I see. You look exactly like Roji, so I was quite surprised. Even twins wouldn’t resemble each other this much.”

At least in appearance, they were the same person.

Rihardt looked over Roji with emotionless eyes.

“Strange. Even the bone structure seems similar.”

Even if the appearance could be similar, how could the bone structure be the same too.

The woman looked flustered.

“Of course it’s because I am Roji. What are you talking about?”

“To begin with, if Roji met me, she would have run away immediately. She wouldn’t try to prove to me that she’s Roji like you’re doing.”

Rihardt’s eyes turned coldly.

“This kind of prank isn’t amusing. Who are you?”

Only then did the confused emotions on the woman’s face disappear.

When she erased her expression, the woman looked like a completely different person.

“Ah, how boring.”

The woman cupped her own cheeks with both hands and tilted her head.

“How did you notice when I have the exact same face?”

“Because only the shell is the same.”

“Well. ‘That guy’ was easily fooled by this shell though.”

That guy?

So she had been showing that shell to someone other than himself.

Thinking of it as Roji’s shell somehow made his mood sink.

“Who are you. Who are you to be wearing that face.”

“Me? Let’s see… who am I.”

“Word games are…”

“It’s not word games. I had my place stolen from me too long ago.”

The woman spouted incomprehensible words.

“What kind of scheme is this.”

“Scheme?”

The woman suddenly burst into laughter. Seeing her giggle as if she had heard something funny made Rihardt feel strange.

Because the shell was Roji’s.

“I didn’t come here to scheme against you. I came to help you.”

“To help me?”

“Shall I tell you some good news? Roji actually didn’t die. She’s alive.”

“What are you talking about.”

He had checked her pulse dozens, hundreds of times.

Both her warmth and pulse belonged to the dead.

“If you can’t believe it, I’ll have to show you proof. You were looking for Roji, weren’t you?”

“…”

“I know where she is. Follow me.”

Rihardt found the woman highly suspicious.

A woman with Roji’s face suddenly appearing and saying she would help him. On top of that, claiming Roji was alive.

It was a situation where he couldn’t help but be suspicious.

However, he followed the woman without complaint. Because he wanted to find Roji even if it meant doing this.

Even if the woman’s purpose turned out to be killing him, he couldn’t refuse.

So Rihardt moved his steps as if enchanted.

“There she is.”

“…!”

The woman hadn’t lied.

Because Roji was really there where she pointed.

But…

“Oh my. This situation is turning out quite interestingly.”

Roji was embracing Count Evantes.

Rihardt experienced his thin barrier of reason completely shattering.
