90 – I helped you, but I didn’t.
Galatea’s maids quickly prepared tables and chairs.
The two sat there, facing each other.
“It’s an imperial car. Drink it.”
Galatea’s gestures were graceful.
She took a sip of her tea and took a small bite of the cookie.
Audrey was a bit nervous.
The woman in front of him is a romantic enemy.
Appetite was poor.
“I ate a lot at lunch earlier, so I’m still full. I’ll drink it when I’m hungry.”
“The young ladies here want to bite and bite and taste it with fire in their eyes when they say it’s imperial, but you don’t seem to be like that. Are you saving face?”
Galatea put on an openly mocking expression.
Audrey was uncomfortable with that appearance.
“I… How about talking respectfully to each other as peers? I think it would be good from the point of view of supporting and respecting each other among those who have to win love over Gyeong Maru.”
“Who is good to the enemy? It’s good if you don’t hit me on the cheek.”
Galatea laughed happily.
She intended to press Audrit properly today.
When people are angry, their nature comes out.
I wanted to see it.
Audrit made a puzzled expression with her hands together.
“Well then, do as you please.”
She smiled awkwardly.
“You’re pure. Can you rule the country with that? There must be a lot of things to do with killing people.”
Audrit smiled awkwardly again.
“I don’t see any obligation to answer.”
“You look bad. You can go and tell Maru. It’s your chance to score. Call me Maru and tell me that I treated you badly. I do not care.”
Audrey was getting sick to her stomach.
It was difficult to be seated.
But she also wanted to know in detail what kind of person Galatea was.
Don’t you know you can win if you know your enemy?
I wanted to get as much information as possible today.
I endured it because I had to.
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with. I want to fight fair and square. I won’t say anything to Lord Maru, so feel free to say it.”
“Hoo? What is that confidence?”
“I am a heavy-mouthed person. He is also a polite person. She is also a woman who knows how to serve her husband well. I think my charm alone is enough to earn Lord Maru’s favor.”
Audrey firmly appealed to herself.
feminine beauty.
Conscience.
modern place.
They were the only weapons she could use against rivals like heroines.
“Haha, here is a sample of a princess from a fairy tale. By the way, I heard that they are building a temple. What are you going to do by building a temple?”
“A few weeks ago, I heard a revelation from God that he wants a temple. We are building to serve Him with all our heart.”
“God’s revelation. yeah, that’s rare As an individual, it is an infinite honor. Others will also admire you.”
Galatea narrowed her eyes.
“Religion first or husband first? If you had to give up one or the other, which one would you give away?”
“Without thinking, it is religion. Husbands are important.”
“That’s an immediate answer. It seems that you are not crazy about religion.”
“Galatea. If you want to continue the conversation, I ask you again to be respectful in your words.”
“Ah, sorry if I made you uncomfortable. Since I grew up in a large country, when I see a princess from a small country, it feels like I’m watching our country’s barons. I must have a fairly high status. It’s because your rank is different from that of the barons.”
“I understand what you mean, but… ”
Audrit trailed off and let out a small sigh.
“Are you the type to soak inside?”
“I just want to respect Galatea. I know what you are thinking right now. You must be worried about which His Majesty the Emperor will choose to be crown prince, me or you. I know how hard it is to wait, so I want to get along well with each other if possible.”
Galatea stared at her and asked.
“Are you an anime who is good at lying or are you serious? If you don’t mean it, you’re a step above Kiera. I will never be able to win in speech and talk. A real fox.”
“Do you know Kiera-sama’s work too?”
“Of course. Because Maru cares about me, he told me everything.”
Audrit swallowed.
What Galatea had just said was enough to scratch her insides.
“Sir Maru didn’t know you well, did he? How can you say that you care?”
“If a pretty woman appears in front of you, a man is someone you can switch to at any time. It is a man who falls deeply in love in one day. We even kissed without you knowing. Wouldn’t that be enough?”
“That’s a lie… Is that a lie?”
“I swear to God it is true. If it is false, when I get up and walk, I will fall and die within three steps.”
“You flirt… !”
Audrit frowned and Galatea laughed happily and drank her tea.
“Are you disappointed with him?”
“Disappointment? I never did.”
Audrit responded bluntly, then put her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths.
“On second thought, I have no reason to trust what you say. I think it would be appropriate to ask Lord Maru when he returns.”
“Even though I swore to God?”
“I still want to be careful.”
A happy smile appeared on Galatea’s face.
“I guess you’re not stupid enough to act rashly.”
“What if it were true? I love him with all my heart. I’m thinking of closing my eyes. It’s stupid.”
Audrit’s gloomy expression was the prettiest looking young woman Galatea had ever seen.
“Maru is easily fooled by women wearing masks and wears them, but this time he seems to have met a decent woman.”
“You speak as if you know him well.”
“You know. I know many times better than you. Have you ever bought him clothes? Even if there were, there would be a lot more clothes I bought for you.”
“Who are you? It must be the first time you met Lord Maru here, right?”
“You will know when Maru returns.”
Galatea stood up after leaving a meaningful word.
“Shall we go back together? Let’s talk more in the carriage. I won’t talk about uncomfortable things anymore.”
“all right.”
Audrit followed Galatea and watched her as she walked.
When I took more than three steps, nothing happened.
Audrit was glad she didn’t die, but on the other hand, she felt sad.
And I tried to soothe myself.
‘It can be. Mr. Galatea is a beautiful woman, so he could make mistakes. That’s right, you can.’
When Maru returns, he promised to warn her not to do that again.

dawn at dawn.
Maru was washing his face with water in a bucket.
Footsteps were heard nearby.
I turned around and saw Benzaris, who had just finished jogging at dawn.
“Wouldn’t it be hard to come here and jog?”
“… … ”
Venzaris came closer and silently lowered his head.
“taboo. It’s time to stop.”
“… … ”
she makes an apologetic face
Maru laughed as he wiped his face with a towel.
“Galatea said there was someone, but when I thought about it, I knew who it was. It was my mother.”
“… … !”
“surprised? It’s true that your mother didn’t reveal her identity, right? afraid to tell me.”
“… … ”
“I’m caught, so you can tell me now. sister. let’s talk I haven’t seen you in a while, but I haven’t been able to speak for over a month.”
“… … ”
Venzaris hesitated, then raised a small voice.
“Sorry for all this time… ”
“It’s nice to hear your voice. It should have been.”
After talking with her for a while, we cleared the camp.
And he went out to catch Mrs. Herte.
A week later, Maru and the others arrived at a swamp covered with gloomy fog.
“There’s an underground palace down here.”

Jocasta nodded at Maru’s words.
“I… I gave you the way, but I never gave you the way.”
She still played with her body and mind separately.
What’s more, the words spoken were out of context.
He wants to refuse Maru’s order, but since he became a slave, he couldn’t refuse.
“Lucy. I need some help from you.”
“Nana? Did you just say you want my help?”
“uh.”
Lucy smiled brightly and was delighted.
“Do anything! What? Tell me now!”
“Meteor. How many can you summon?”
“With my own strength… One or three?”
“Does it spread after you shoot all three?”
“I wish I could rest, but if you fight, you can fight!”
“No, don’t overdo it. Leave the rest to us. Can you see it over there? Pour Meteor all over the middle.”
Lucy nodded vigorously and went straight to preparations.
The operation was simple.
I was thinking of blowing up the ground with Meteor and drilling a hole above the underground palace hidden underground.
Then, infiltrate through the hole and annihilate the enemies at once. and the end.
“Whoa… ”
Except for Lucy, who was gathering magic, the rest of the people retreated farther back.
Meteor is the strongest magic in the fire world.
When a meteorite blazing with flames lands on the ground, the aftermath is formidable.
We had to keep a safe distance as much as possible.
“The energy of the universe… ”
Casting has begun.
Fireballs formed around Lucy’s body and spun around her.
soon after,
[Meteor Strike]
A huge meteorite fell into the swamp.
Kwaaang-!
The effect was absolutely superb.
With just one blow, the hole was opened, and the swamp water flowed underground.
At the same time, angry monsters began crawling out to the ground.
Among them was Mrs. Herte.
She soared into the sky riding her Skeleton Wyvern.
“The sixth hero! It was you too! To visit my abode, which even the wise men of the world do not know! Who showed you the way!”
Maru smiled leisurely and looked up at her.
“I heard you want to kill me! I will make you my slave and make you shine my shoes!”
“huh! I’m not talking casually about a pierced mouth! My son will punish you!”
The Skeleton Wyvern she was riding immediately descended and spewed a breath of poison into smoke to the ground.
But just then, Jocasta enlarged her body and inhaled the poison breath herself.
Mrs. Herte frowned in the air.
“Iocaste! Why are you with him!”

Jocasta put on a puzzled expression.
“I-I don’t know… ”
“What are you talking about!”
Mrs. Herte tried to attack Maru again.
However, Jocasta stood in the way again and kept her in check.
“Iocaste!”
Mrs. Herte was furious.
“Did you betray us and side with that guy!”
