Episode 44. Revenge (4)
Chapter 44. Revenge (4)
Is it because the rain that soaked the capital for a while stopped? The sky, which had been sunny for the first time in a while, was high and blue. Outdoor streets were crowded with people outing, and the shops were lively.
Feeling the soft wind caressing his cheeks, Youth slowly looked down at Becca. Shining purple hair created a soft color when illuminated by the sun.

Not the usual ponytail, but loose hair. Becca’s dress, which she had never seen before, gave off a strangely neat atmosphere.
Feeling somehow tickled, Youth tapped his chest. Below to her right, a woman one head smaller than herself was peering around.
Although she is much shorter than herself in height and physique, the sight of her being escorted by one of the leading female warriors in the empire will make all men’s hearts flutter. How can a creature called a woman be so different from a man in terms of strength?
The difference in muscle between the s*xes was really amazing. No matter how much a man works out and grows his body, it is difficult for a man to be stronger than a woman unless he has innate characteristics.
“The capital has changed a lot. Youngsik, could you please guide me?”
It was a request and a favor she made to herself after going on a business trip for a long time. It was an attractive proposal, but the problem is that Youth is also an introvert who doesn’t go out much.
But how can I refuse it? Youth, he didn’t hate it in his heart either.
“Me, the weather is really nice.”
“I will. Really good. Youngsik, please don’t be nervous.”
Becca slowly folds her eyes. Delighted, she seemed really happy.
Looking at the shops on the street, old memories seem to come to mind. How can I forget the vague memory of eating skewers with the old owner that I served a long time ago?
“… Uh?”
There is currently a building of something else built in that place. A moderately sized building with a terrace up to two floors. At first glance, it seemed vintage.
“Youngsik, would you like to go there by any chance?”
In recent years, in the center of the capital, there has been a street corner that has become famous among men. With the commercialization of magical tools that can record everyday moments, the search for so-called ’emotional cafes’ has spread like a trend.
The originator is said to have copied the design of a certain Changgwan. It is said that when someone copied only the interior, it quickly went viral.

Now, not only nobles but also commoners went there. I have no choice but to judge that a culture that values healing and relaxation has been created.
“… Uh. That is.”
“There is no need to feel pressured. Come in.”
Becca, who took the lead, was really reassuring. The thoughtfulness of her holding the door until Youth was completely inside was enough to tickle her heart.
Her energy and beauty radiating from her were enough to draw the attention of the men inside her cafe. As I went further inside, I saw people taking pictures with magic tools.
People sit well on uncomfortable-looking chairs and low tables. If she sits for a long time, her hips and back will most likely hurt.

Not liking her more than she thought, Yus slightly hardened her expression. Until I heard a voice beside me that seemed rather blunt.
“Youngshik, please sit over here.”
The seat she recommended and pointed to was a soft sofa seat. A space with a window that lets in sunlight.
“Ah. No. Be, Becca, sit down. It must be difficult.”
“As a woman, you have a duty to be considerate of men.”
Pretending to be overcome by her firm words, she sat down on the chair she recommended. The people around me were whispering that they had heard the conversation from just now.
Her glance was envious. I felt a strange sense of superiority with her hot face.
Two cups of coffee are prepared on a low table. The cake topped with chocolate is also set side by side. Come to think of it, there were many desserts with pretty designs in the shelves.
“Does Yeongsik like places like this?”
“Ah. Yes, actually me too. This is my first time.”
“Ah. Me too. That. Mr. Youss, is your job worth doing?”
Becca blushed when she said it was her first time. There was a subtle concern in her hard tone that flowed out. Youth tried to close her eyes and answered calmly.
“It’s better than I thought, it’s worth it.”
That was true. Since Elina came back, she has become quite comfortable with her work.
In a way, it was strange that she remembered herself. It is also true that the imperial family remembers them.
“Is that so? I am very fortunate.”
I stare blankly at the relieved Becca’s pretty face. The problem is that I have nothing to say.
At this rate, it’s time to ask only 20 questions. Right before her palms were sweaty, voices began to be heard from the side like a savior. After observing them for a while, they seemed to have finally started talking to each other.
“Did you hear that anyway?”
“What is it? What.”
“That the prince must die. That rumor!!”
It is a story that has already spread secretly within the imperial palace. Youth also knew roughly, but there were parts he could not do anything about.
While poking the cake with a fork, he looked straight ahead. But Becca’s reaction was strange. She was like a child who did something wrong and hid it.
“Right. I heard it too. But is that true?”
“But honestly, it’s kind of weird. I thought the man from the other world returned safely too.”
“A. Don’t know However, the imperial family has not made any statement.”
A conversation that continues next door. Youth, who was sipping coffee and listening quietly, looked at Becca quietly.
“… Rumor.”
“Calento English.”
“Yeah, well. Cow, rumors are just rumors.”
Youth smiles lightly. Becca’s lips, looking at him, were ang-yi. And that moment.
Bang-!!!
There was a loud noise outside. In an unknown situation, the inside of the cafe was filled with the voices of men screaming in an instant.
“Oops. What?! Come on, the guards.”
“Kyaaak!! Wait. Look at this. It’s a video!!”
“Prince? Oh god please Is that for real?!”
And that.
Video equipment installed inside cafes, including on the street. The familiar male figure shown on the screen.
“… Seonghyun?”
Youth’s pupils begin to vibrate violently. Gradually, his hands and legs began to tremble.
“Wait a minute. English. Youth!!”
With a snap, Becca reached out with both hands. But at his quick gestures, her hands only struggled in the air.

[System: Uses Dark Fog.]
A skill previously used to escape from the Imperial Palace. Now that I can freely use my characteristics, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even the yin qi was steadily consumed.
Resembling Elina, she still had an angelic appearance with gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes. Although her milk-white skin and the clothes she wore seemed to symbolize her high lineage.
“What is this?”
As you might have guessed, Karsen’s reaction was still the same. He must have been surprised to see me suddenly appearing inside the bedroom, but his exclamation was tinged with embarrassment.
“Why? Are you here?!”
Carsene steps back as if to resist. When he saw that, he naturally raised the corners of his mouth.
“Prince, what are you trying to surprise me with? What is it?”
“Huh. I’m calling people right now. If I just scream….”
I quickly squeezed Karsen’s throat so that he could not speak any more. As we looked at each other, his eyes shook like a swaying lake.
So who said he was alone in the room? Of course, there would be knights waiting outside the door. Until then, I am not part-timer.
“The prince is an idiot. You should have screamed before answering like that.”
A black mist begins to rise from the knees. Carsen’s frightened eyes and body shook.
“That. Stop.”
“What? Let’s go up on stage now.”
The feeling of the black mist wrapping your body is enchanting. Due to the group of black lights, my eyes started to blur gradually.
And the sight unfolding in front of the two of us.

Not a fancy bedroom, but the center of an outdoor plaza.
It seemed that they had arrived safely on a high podium. As prepared in advance, there was no one to help Karsen. Still holding him, he asked me with a very nervous spirit.
“Wait. That one, that one Why are you here?”
Carsen’s eyes go into the air with Angkaljin’s words. A magic tool floating around. They would be perfect devices only for him.
Real-time relay broadcasting was possible with the items prepared by Jane and Merian. I hear you had a really hard time yesterday.
I need to comfort you later.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
I wonder if Karsen’s voice was too loud? It seems that people who have been quite far away have found us.
“Tuesday. Your Highness the Prince?!”
“No way? Really?!!!”
The audience screaming. Soon, it gradually becomes noisy with a buzzing sound. Some ran out to call someone.
In an instant, the guards start coming. Even so, it’s no use.
[System: Tentacles That follow you are Summoned.]
When I waved my hand, tentacles sprouted from below. It is a figure that can hardly come close to the threatening movement.
Did he forget that I was next to him? Karsen raised his voice in anger.
“What are you guys watching?! Shouldn’t you protect me such useless….”
“Hey, close your mouth.”
“… ….”
I slowly looked at Karsen. His demeanor, now visible, was powerless and servile. I was stunned at how much weaker he was than I thought.
“Do you remember the hardships you went through because of something like you? It’s annoying.”
A long sigh comes out. Have I even gotten used to it? Karsen started to speak softly with me holding his throat. It’s a fairly relaxed attitude.
“I’ll give you anything. Money? Honor? Title? Okay. Got it. What I did earlier was wrong. Sooner or later, my sister will come. Aren’t you afraid?”
Is this appeasem*nt? Or is it intimidation?
“Then confess.”
“… What, what?”
I pointed at the video sphere. Our image is reflected in a small, convex mirror.
“Tell me. They said that they tried to kill innocent strangers by selling them as spearmen at will. They completely trampled on me so that I couldn’t even return to the original world.”
“What? That. How….”
The honor of the prince will be lost. Even if he looked like this, Karsen was a beautiful prince who was loved by the people of the empire. He wouldn’t be unaware of the rumors currently circulating.
“Is it more important than death? Please use your wise judgment.”
I squeezed Karsen’s neck even harder. The neck of such a fragile man could easily be broken.
“Sigh! Stop. Okay. I’ll tell you. I will tell you.”
When I let go of the strength in my hand, it coughed for a few seconds. When I tapped him on the shoulder as if to urge him on, his body trembled.
Actually, I can’t stay here for long. They are easy to deal with, but if a party of warriors appeared here, they had to run away immediately.
[System: Occupy the empire by reviving the demon army.]
And an additional pop-up window.
[System: Will die on failure.]
•
[System: Start your sweet revenge. However, you must not kill him directly.]
I can’t kill you with my own hands. Are you suddenly like this? Is this revenge?
[System: An incubus does not get its hands dirty.]
In the end, this is the best. Totally discrediting this bastard. Wearing the mask of an angel, the praised prince’s wings will be broken.
“Come on, tell me.”
The video sphere moves and shoots Karsen. His mouth opened very slowly.
“That’s it. Therefore.”
For some reason, I swallowed with a gulp of tension. The moment the wind blowing cools the sweat on the nape of his neck.
Words heard soon.
“… I’m not wrong I don’t know. Derek hyung-nim ordered everything!!”
