I Gave Up Their NTR Liberation Quest chapter 41

41 – Land of Hope Lost

After a light nap for the night, we decided to go down the hole.

“Before that, Minel. I have something to tell you.”

“what?”

“Don’t help Ceres.”

“… … .”

After yesterday’s incident, I thought that Minel was also in a dangerous situation.

“You are definitely a knight of Ceres. But now he’s a member of our party. do not forget.”

Minel’s way of thinking as a knight is not wrong. Act with the escort target to be protected as the first target.

However, they do not think about the aftermath that their actions will cause.

“Think for yourself. Helping Ceres in this situation will have a negative impact not only on you, but also on our party and Ceres’s party.”

“Know… But I’m worried and I can’t help it.”

ha… How on earth did Ceres bake and boil minel so that people could be so broken… .

It cannot be denied that Minel cares for Ceres. This is the result of the trust they built up and built up their affection for each other. However, this kind of trust only applied to one side, creating a very irrational situation.

“Why the hell are you doing this? No matter how old you are with Ceres, is it necessary to help Ceres even at the cost of yourself?”

“… Yes, that is the oath between you and me.”

“A promise?”

The only pact I know of is the pact between wizards.

Proof that you make an absolute promise with that person by staking something equal to each other. As a proof of that, it’s normal for the remnants of magic associated with the oath to remain in the heart… .

“You can’t handle magic.”

“… ? what are you talking about. Regardless of magic power, the oath can be shared, right?”

“No, what bullsh*t is that?”

The reason why many oaths are made among wizards is that swordsmen have fewer opportunities to awaken their magical powers than wizards, and even if they awaken, they often lack the magical power to bind each other for the oath, so it is almost impossible.

“Did you make an oath using a special magic tool?”

“no. When I was 12 years old, I made an oath with the lady, and the lady told me how to do it, so I made an oath right there. Promise that I will always be her sword and shield, protect her before anyone else, and that she will always be with me.”

“… … .”

My head was dizzy.

It would be possible for Ceres to share an oath at the age of 12.

He was called a child prodigy, so even at the young age of 12, he must have had enough magic power, and the way to make an oath would be found if you search the Reinhardt family library.

By the way… Did Minel, who was still immature even as a knight, have enough magic to make an oath?

“Minel, look back for a moment.”

“yes? What happened?”

[‘Invincible if you have knowledge and power’ says it’s not possible.]

The god whose name is related to knowledge knows roughly what I’m thinking and even says it’s not… Personally, I tend to pick innocent children as the most innocent and evil beings.

Mana penetrates Minel’s body through my hands.

past the back… When I reached the heart, a really weak magic power was covered in a layer on the heart of Miminel.

[‘Man doesn’t want to sleep’ asks what that is.]

… what the. I never thought I would use my smart head like this.

There was no trace of an oath to Ceres. In the past, around the time when the Reinhardt family was halfway destroyed, Ceres asked him to infuse his body with mana, and he knew it because he had checked several times to see if there were any curses or location tracking magic.

However… In Minel’s heart, there are traces of a very weak oath.

[‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ asks if you made a one-sided pact.]

Probably.

And the magic formula Ceres found was not an oath, but an imprint magic that originally existed in the subcategory of the oath to be used on slaves.

It is not a contract in a mutually equal state like in oath magic, but a contract in which A and B are decided unilaterally.

The effect is simple.

Prohibition of betrayal, thinking of the master as the first priority, and lastly, prohibition of self-determination.

Isn’t this bondage really suitable for a slave?

“Come to think of it, it was the Reinhardt family who created that imprinting magic in the future.”

oath… No, destroying the imprint is really simple.

Since it was still unfinished magic, there was no need for magic to heal it. If I just scatter some of Ceres’ magic with my destructive magic… .

“uh?”

Minel hardens as it is.

Now I know why Minel’s values have been like this until now. Up until now, there had been very few cases where mana had been directly poured into Minel’s body. I’ve handed over divine power a few times for treatment, but divine power and magical power are completely different.

It’s strange to be able to notice.

“What do you think? Are you feeling sober?”

“… What the hell have you done?”

“What are you doing, you just broke the illusion?

Even if it was just peeling off the imprint on her heart, Minel has lived with Ceres’ imprint on her back for eight years.

The most important thing is that he lived with the idea of being a knight of Ceres like a slave without any doubt because of his imprint during his second growth period.

“… Lian.”

“what’s the matter.”

“Did the lady do this with malice to me?”

… Minel’s face was like that of a man who had perished.

No, it was a familiar face. It was very similar to the face I saw in the mirror when I first returned after being betrayed by those four people.

“maybe… It won’t be.”

No matter how much he betrayed me, he wouldn’t be a bad bitch enough to enslave someone who sincerely believed in him since childhood.

Most likely, the magic Ceres saw was in the middle of converting oath magic to inscription magic, or it was highly likely that it was a beta version that hadn’t been properly completed yet.

And Ceres, who had learned about oath magic, must have recklessly brought a similar magic circle and made a deal with Minel.

“… Knocked up.”

Minelle gritted her teeth and clenched her fists until they bled.

“I feel betrayed.”

“I guess so.”

For Minel, who had been almost dependent on him, he realized that his feelings were manipulated by Ceres. A normal person should have gone to kill Ceres with a sword by now.

“I trusted the lady, but she put a bondage on me.”

“okay… .”

Unlike usual, Minel’s eyes trembled like aspen trees.

“I am such a baby… No, I cannot forgive Ceres Reinhardt.”

Minel’s pupils die black.

The knight’s eyes, which were always straight, could not emit even the flames of revenge, and now had eyes no different from those of a dead fish.

“Even my chivalry was made for her.”

Minel’s chivalry is Suho.

It was a chivalry that could only be embraced because he had the determination to protect only Ceres.

“My actions, my thoughts, my feelings, even my beliefs were all controlled by Ceres Reinhardt.”

Minel said calmly.

There was no trembling in his voice, no emotion of anger.

Just… He was just quietly telling the truth.

“Rian… . What should I do.”

Unlike her eyes, her hands were shaking so much.

“I hate Ceres. However, the memories in my head are shouting that I still have to protect her. i want to kill But it shouldn’t be like that. why? Wouldn’t it be okay if I just killed him with this sword?”

Emotions created over the past 8 years ate up even the original ones.

Originally, the personality, personality, and emotions that should have been gradually created were created under the imprint of eight years.

The gap between the two emotions that has just been created as the imprint is released… will exceed my imagination.

“I want to kill you. must not be killed These two thoughts keep running through my head.”

“… sorry.”

As I spat out the words, I let my magic flow through Minel’s head.

[…] Lian, what’s wrong?]

“little… I don’t think it’s too cruel.”

The true knight has lost the truth.

The warrior who should have been pure lost his innocence.

The girl who should crave love more than anyone else has become an ugly monster.

Couldn’t the three of us just be happy in a normal way?

The female knight Minel is close friends with Ceres.

As a warrior, I will bond with the person I love and live happily in the future.

Wouldn’t it have been better if Neros had made love as a human being rather than a monster?

Why did the gods give us such a tragedy?

“Hey. People called God.”

Let’s ask one.

Is fate really this cruel?

[‘I want to sleep with all women’ is silent.]

In a land where hope has been lost, one knight has lost everything as well as hope.

Pride, emotions, hopes, beliefs, friends.

Nothing was allowed to Minel.

What is left for the female knight named Minel… There is only confusion, sadness, and a sense of betrayal.

It fits the theme of a place where hope is lost so well.

Damn it.
