Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 205

Underneath the huge temple dedicated to Iries.

The women of the imperial palace who had disappeared were hidden there. The composition of the women varied, including maids, the wives of the Viscount, the wife of the count, and the wife of the duke.

If they had one thing in common, they were all murmuring with an anxious expression.

-What’s going on with this, won…

– Can you survive?

– Iries-sama, please take care of the Empire…

Several women glanced at the vampires guarding the entrance to the basement.

The eyes weren’t pretty.

From the women’s point of view, they were the bad guys who invaded the Imperial Palace and imprisoned them in a place like this.

In fact, Haley’s kin were protecting the women from other vampires.

However, they didn’t know that, and the vampires didn’t even bother to say it. There is no other emotion as convenient as fear in dealing with humans.

‘What’s going on…’

And Laurenne was also one of the women who trembled with anxiety. She rolled her eyes, trying to understand the situation.

‘I don’t think you’re going to harm us right now…’

If I had thought of that, I would have harmed him in the Imperial Palace without having to bother dragging him all the way here.

‘Is the situation hiding us when we see them taking turns?’

If you hide it from what?

Why did you do this in the first place?

There was too little information to infer anything. Ignorance soon returned to fear, and fear caused stress.

Laurenne instinctively wrapped her arms around her stomach.

Now, even if it is called a pregnant woman, it is not awkward to call her a belly.

‘No matter what happens, you have to protect your child.’

A warm hand sat on the back of her hand, trembling with determination.

Surprised, she turned her head to see a beautiful blue-silver haired woman with warm eyes.

“Are you worried?”

“Wow, Empress…! That, that…”

“it’s okay. It’s natural to be worried. Who can stay calm in a situation like this?”

“…”

“Nevertheless, trust us once and wait. There are a lot of talented and strong people out there, right? It will be fine.”

Empress, she said with a classical smile. The other women, influenced by that smile, gradually regained their composure.

As the Empress said, the strong army of the Empire is standing outside.

Among them were men and women.

Thinking of their reliable lover or husband, they controlled the creeping fear.

But Laurene couldn’t.

Because the man who was supposed to protect her wasn’t here right now.

‘cloud…’

The man who was superior to the man of any woman here was not here because he was so good.

It was a time when I bit my lips tightly with a sad heart.

Aww-!

A scream was heard from the stairs.

“What, what’s going on!?”

The vampires who were monitoring the women rushed up the stairs. But even after they went up, the screaming did not stop. The desperate scream continued for a long time, and when the scream disappeared, only the sound of trudging down the stairs echoed through the basement.

The women shed tears of joy, thinking that the Imperial Army had come to their rescue.

Dirty bloody bastards died well, did you do this by knowing who I was, don’t think about dying nicely, etc.

Excited voices erupted from everywhere.

The Empress also breathed a sigh of deep relief, probably because she was very afraid inside.

Meanwhile, only Laurenne swallowed her saliva and kept her tension.

Although she is now only a pregnant woman, she was once active as a warrior’s companion. So she could notice the bizarreness of the fight that had just taken place.

‘I heard the vampires yelling and screaming, but I couldn’t hear the other person’s voice.’

Perhaps the knights overwhelmingly defeated the vampires without even having to speak up.

However, Lauren was well aware that reality did not flow so conveniently. It wasn’t the Imperial Army that came down the stairs as she expected.

“When I asked where they went, they were all gathered here.”

Werewolf assassins appeared, flapping their blood-soaked black robes.

The women were perplexed.

They weren’t fools either, so I knew they weren’t the Imperial Army. Looking at their cold faces, it didn’t look like they had come to rescue them.

Thanks to this, the momentum of the women who had been majestic was quickly broken.

While they crouched and looked around, the last vampire left in the basement came out.

“It’s like Sigrid-sama’s assassination. How many Georges?”

One of the assassins answered by a giant 2m tall.

“It’s Article 1.”

“You are the captain. Are you moving under Sigrid-sama’s orders?”

“no. We are moving under Gis-sama’s orders. He told us to find the women who disappeared from the palace.”

“…we are moving and monitoring them at Haley-sama’s orders.”

You are obeying the orders of someone higher than the one who commanded you. So turn it off Head 1 nodded at the words with such a meaning.

“I know.”

“…What?”

“I said I knew. Mr. Krapa.”

The captain swung his sword and spit blood from the blade.

“Our master is very fond of Haley-sama and her blood relatives, who were passive in their plans. The same goes for other rods. As soon as the plan is finished, Haley-sama’s blood relatives were to be organized.”

Nine assassins, including the captain, posed with their weapons in their hands.

“It won’t be a big deal if it gets sorted out a little earlier.”

“You guys…”

Seeing the assassins ready for battle, Krapa sharpened his teeth.

He is one of Haley’s strongest kin. However, he was not strong enough to fight against the elite assassination unit of the Zadok Society, and even the entire first group of Sigrid’s assassination.

I could take one or two companions to the underworld, but that was the limit.

Krapa slowly turned her head to look at the women.

“What’s the matter, this…?”

“scratch..? Why is he looking for us?”

“That man is crazy and horny for women! Ooh, you’re going to tease us…!”

The women suddenly fell in fear when the name of Gis was mentioned in a strangely flowing situation.

Even the calm empress lost her composure and her eyes were trembling.

… Judging by reason, it was right to give up on them and retreat.

Because he cannot sacrifice his noble life for the sake of a human being.

But he couldn’t back down.

– The safety of our hostages depends on the survival of our blood relatives. Don’t leave it to you.

Because it was an order that Haley-sama gave directly, saying that it contained the safety of the blood relatives.

I had to protect it even if I had to die.

When Krapa showed signs of using blood magic, the 1st team leader smiled and raised his hand.

Seeing this, the women trembled.

What happened after this was so easy to predict.

Laurenne also gripped the dagger for self-defense and breathed heavily.

The captain lowered his hand.

“Assassination Article 1. Eliminate Krapa and all the women…”

The captain turned his body to the side without speaking. 🤩 A memorization from behind brushed his cheeks. The leader swung his sword in the direction the memorization flew.

Kaang!

A gigantic blade of a sword hit his neck and hit the short sword that came in.

The master of the sword did not resist the power of the great sword that was wielded and accepted it as it was. Flying behind her, she sprinted against her wall and tumbled her back to land opposite the assassins.

Only then were the women able to take a closer look at the person who attacked the captain.

A black-haired girl wearing a black robe similar to the assassins.

“Shedia..?”

Laurenne opened her eyes and muttered. Hearing that little voice, Shedia turned her head and waved her hand with her characteristic fierce expression.

“Cloud ordered me to come to the rescue!”

Seeing something like a child, Laurenne smiled mischievously. She is a child with certain skills, even though she looks like that. Lorenne loosened her tension and put down her dagger, which she was holding tightly.

“That’s right… Cloud is back…”

You tried to protect me and not forget me.

Tears welled up in Lauren’s eyes. As she sniffled, Shedia tilted her head.

“Cry?”

“Who’s crying, huh, cry…”

“Isn’t it my fault that I cry? You can’t tell Cloud later!”

“Because I’m not crying…”

Lauren snorted.

* * *

Laurenne wasn’t the only one surprised by Shedia’s sudden appearance.

“Were you still alive? I expected it… But why did you show up now? If I had succeeded in getting out of the eyes of the organization, it would have been better to live in hiding for the rest of my life.”

At the question of the leader of Assassination Group 1, Shedia’s gaze turned to the leader. She narrowed her brow and tilted her head.

“Who is it?”

“…the leader of the first assassination group, first.”

“first? It’s an odd name.”

“It’s just a number given so that seniors can easily identify it, not a name.”

“Isn’t that a name?”

“not.”

First firmly denied Shedia’s words.

“We have not been given names. You are the only werewolf that was given a name.”

Shedia is the only one who can handle Shadow Secret, a vampire’s actual secret art.

She received special treatment among the werewolves.

“When you disappeared, it was quite noisy inside the social reading club. Kellidan, who took you out, has been severely reprimanded.”

“Did you?”

Shedia asked with an innocent face.

First sighed with a smirk on his face.

“It’s a werewolf who was given a name for something like that… Whoa, I guess I’ll have to obey my orders.”

First took a silver bell from his pocket.

Servant of domination.

Werewolves, who have been ‘educated’ since childhood, automatically enter a state of waiting for orders when they hear the bell ring.

It was originally a tool used by vampires to control the werewolves, but after Shedia’s disappearance, the captains of each group were granted special possession.

One day, when I met Shedia, to bring her back.

First rang the bell.

Daughter and daughter~.

A clear sound echoed through the basement.

The werewolves’ ears pricked up when they heard the bell. First was no exception. Fortunately, he rang the bell himself, so it did not lead to a state of waiting for orders.

He said.

“Shedia. I forbid you to engage in hostilities towards the 1st assassination group. Also, from now on, you will be organized into Team 1 and carry out my orders…”

“no.”

“Follow… what?”

“no!”

Shedia spoke out loud so he could understand. First’s expression darkened. He waved the bell again and ordered Shedia.

“You don’t like it?”

But what came back was the word of refusal.

“Hey, how is this…?”

The effect of the Servant of Domination is absolute for werewolves who have been ‘educated’.

There have been many werewolves who have dreamed of freedom and treason, but they all knelt before this servant.

without a single exception.

But the exception has now appeared before his eyes.

First’s eyes fluttered wildly.

Shedia placed her hands on her waist and spread her chest, and naturally became a posture emphasizing the moonstone necklace. The werewolves’ eyes widened when they saw the moonstone.

“Is that a moonstone?”

“yes!”

“I heard it’s very precious… Why do you have it?”

“I worked hard and got it from Cloud!”

Shedia said with a proud smile.

Werewolves were ridiculous. Aside from working for the heroes of other kingdoms, it was hard to understand that she worked hard to get her moonstone.

If it was possible to obtain moonstone with just such a thing, all of the first assassination groups here should have been wearing moonstone necklaces.

Their expressions of embarrassment were frowned upon.

“…okay. If you had the moonstone, it makes sense to show up now. However, it is a wrong judgment to have appeared nonetheless.”

First beckoned to the crew. The crew members who received the signal began to disperse.

“The moonstone is said to prevent mind control, but in the end, it is only a possession that is lost if it is taken away.”

It is true that Shedia receives special treatment, but that is because she knows how to use shadow magic.

Of course, the force is also strong, but even the individual members of the 1st Assassination Team are not pushed.

They thought so, and it didn’t take long for them to realize that they were wrong.

“… take it?”

Shedia’s mood changed. Her innocent face turned cold and she shot a ferocious life around her.

“My moonstone?”

A cold gaze passed through the first set. Every time her eyes met, the members trembled in surprise.

Something is wrong.

By the time instinct gave the warning, it was already too late.

A long one-edged sword slowly emerged from Shedia’s shadow. A single blade without a cross guard separating the handle and the blade. The moment she grabbed the handle of her single blade, the lanterns that lit her basement went out all at once.

“…no way.”

Shedia.

A colleague whom the cloud trusts.

And the basis for supporting that trust included her overwhelming inaction.
