Love Letter From The Future chapter 181

3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (45)

When the maid took a step, the princess let out a sound like a scream.

“… … Do not come!”

A high-level spell began to be drawn on Shien’s hand as he shouted that.

No matter how fresh he was, he was the top of the magic department. Of course, his fighting ability was outstanding.

But the maid still tilted her head as if she didn’t know. The lady-in-waiting, standing tall, muttered in a muffled voice.

The voice that stammered out gradually twisted strangely.

“Everyone, why? why? uh, why… This, this, this, ugh, ah… aa!”

Soon, the lady-in-waiting grabbed her neck with her hands as if starting a game.

The trembling convulsions continued for a while. Her arms and legs twisted grotesquely each time a booming, crunching sound resounded.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t normal.

When the princess encountered such a grotesque scene for the first time, blurry water formed in her eyes. She was a car that had just become an adult.

He did not have the mental strength to remain calm in the face of a personal crisis.

The head maid’s body, which had been creaking and wriggling for a while, soon regained stability.

The momentum has changed.

If the lady-in-waiting had been showing a relaxed atmosphere just before, the current lady-in-waiting gave off a gloomy smell for some reason.

The maid’s head, which had been tilted back, faced the front again.

There was a faint bloody light in her brown eyes. With a smile so wide open that you might think it was exaggerated, she said.

“Nice to meet you, Her Highness the Princess.”

It was a voice that overflowed from the lungs.

The princess trembled in silence at the sound of that faint madness.

Listening to the voice flowing from the maid’s mouth, the princess had no choice but to realize instinctively.

different.

It wasn’t the tone of the lady-in-waiting that was always benevolent. On the contrary, it was a voice that gave off a rough and bumpy feeling.

The human in front of me was speaking in the body of the maid, but it wasn’t the maid.

Shien couldn’t bear to hide his trembling hands. Even so, he pretended to be calm and asked.

“… … Who are you?”

“Puhuh,” the lady-in-waiting burst into a frivolous laugh. There was even a glimpse of joy in those eyes.

Her head snapped. It seemed polite, but in reality it wasn’t at all.

It was an oversight.

In that series of movements, not even a hint of respect could be found. It was more like a mockery.

“Wow, to think that a descendant of the dragon asked such a beautiful jade sound… How could this lowly thing not answer? Even though I’ve lived hiding my true identity for decades, hey! Haona, in commemoration of today’s special relationship, I would like to tell you, Her Highness the Princess.”

After the sarcastic remark, the maid’s body regained its normal posture.

And one step closer to Cien.

That alone was enough reason for the princess to be drenched in fear. A paroxysmal scream escaped from her mouth.

“Oh, don’t come! Responding closer… Ugh, kyaagh!”

However, the princess’ best warnings were of no avail.

It was because two poison needles were shot from the hand of the maid who had been pulled out like lightning.

The princess, whose shoulders were pierced by poison needles, let out a shrieking sound and staggered back.

The wave of magical power that had formed on her hand was scattered. Seeing this, the lady-in-waiting gave advice with ridicule.

“Your Highness, a warning must be given in actions, not words… What benevolent enemy would listen to the pleas of a shivering little girl?”

Hearing the woman’s relaxed voice, the princess’ eyes became fierce for an instant.

She could feel the emotions rushing up her throat.

In fact, it was more like outrage than anger. Because it was the last pride of a human who was cornered.

But now, Shien didn’t have the strength to distinguish between the two emotions.

The princess’ roar soon reverberated through the crypt.

“I, I am not just a little girl! I am the fifth of the great imperial family… … .”

“It’s a girl.”

No, I was about to cry.

However, the princess’s mouth fell shut at once at the woman’s calm voice, as if she were telling the truth.

“Or, would you like to prove it? Isn’t that simple? You can defeat me with the power of that proud imperial family.”

Then, the lady-in-waiting shrugged.

Seeing the attitude of saying, “If you want to try it, try it,” Shien blankly recalled the memories of the past.

Come to think of it, it was a warning I had heard before.

Ian Percus, to that nasty and fearful man.

“Of course, that couldn’t be… Haha, that was a joke. Somehow, my introduction was delayed.”

However, the woman did not appear to be particularly concerned about whether the princess chewed her lips or not.

It was as if Shien was convinced that no matter what he did, he would not be able to escape this trap.

It was worth it.

This was a secret passage that only the royal family knew about, and the personnel who would protect her had just been annihilated in front of their eyes.

Even the princess and her party didn’t tell anyone where they were going, so they were no different from being single.

The confident attitude of the ‘maid’s maid’ was not bravado. With such confidence, she finally introduced herself.

“My name is Mitram.”

It was a voice pretending to be cheerful, like a clown.

And she actually looked pleasant too. The man who introduced himself as ‘Mitram’ seemed unwilling to hide his giggle.

“I am a servant who serves the true master of this world. So, to put it a little easier… … .”

With a beep, the princess’s knees bent.

It was because the poison of the stinger had begun to circulate. A light moan escaped from her mouth.

The trembling light gray eyes turned to the giggling “maid-in-chief.”

“… … He is a dark priest.”

Facing that twisted smile, it was only natural that Shien’s eyes became dumb.

The ‘Dark Priest’ was an existence that had only been heard in words.

The limbs that serve the evil god Omeros and his earthly representative, Delphirem.

I heard that after the Shinma War, the forces rapidly shrank, and now only remnants remain.

Could it be that he still had this much power left?

It was a story that was hard to believe.

The eyes of the imperial family stretched all over the empire. No matter how secretive the organization was, it was difficult to get out of its wide field of vision.

Especially if you have the potential to mobilize hundreds of demons.

However, the reality right in front of Shien’s eyes was that Mitram’s words were true.

Unless it was the Dark Church, hundreds of demons could not be mobilized.

He couldn’t encourage the closest aides of the imperial family and create bizarre monsters.

It was understandable if all the stories that went against common sense had an organization called the ‘Dark Church’ behind them.

Although they are now ruined, they were the ones who almost destroyed the world at one time.

Nevertheless, lingering doubts remained. The princess asked in a trembling tone, barely holding on to her clouding mind.

“… … Wh, what did you do?”

Mitram’s gaze turned to the princess.

It seemed like he was talking about something, but it didn’t take long for the question to be resolved.

“The lady-in-waiting, what did you do… … !”

Ah, Mitram looked around at the body he was wearing as if he had finally realized it.

Then, he nodded his head with a ummm, and soon it was filled with a bright blue light.

She looked very happy.

“Ah, this is something I love very much. In the past, when he was active as a spy, he was kidnapped and slightly modified. Actually, there was more of that material… … .”

It was at that time that Mitram’s forehead was deeply dented.

It was an unpleasant reaction that was rarely seen. It was the reaction you see when something doesn’t work out right.

“… … All of a sudden, our Lord Zeros had his arm cut off by some lunatic aristocrat.”

Hearing those words, Shien’s thoughts deepened.

The name ‘Zeros’ was familiar to me. It was a natural story.

Because he was an escort knight for the princess.

However, he had recently left home for recuperation.

Ian Percus, it was because his arm was cut off by that man.

It might have been a coincidence.

Nevertheless, when the doubts she had been harboring and the facts she learned anew came together, the princess’s thoughts began to become jumbled.

The advice to strengthen the escort and Lord Zeroth’s return home.

It wasn’t long before more information appeared to add to that suspicion.

A moan escaped from Mitram’s mouth when the princess was deeply troubled.

Wearing the body of the maid of honor, his head tilted. A suspicious voice then spat out.

“Come to think of it, why didn’t the witch beasts react? I’ve been watching you all day long. I thought there was no gap to break the curse… … .”

“… … Curse?”

Upon hearing the information for the first time, the princess immediately responded with a question.

Then Mitram’s face immediately turned to Oops.

The princess instinctively realized.

This information could be a clue to all the mysteries that have not been solved so far.

The sound of swallowing dry spit echoed in Shien’s throat.
