575 – 7. Jealousy is my strength (75)
“You are miserably rolling on the ground. Like a worm… Actually, it’s not just today’s story. Because you resemble me Wasn’t it like that when you were in love too?”
Heh, heh.
Shien took a deep breath and slightly avoided Seria’s gaze.
To be honest, I was afraid.
This woman is crazy. She wouldn’t be able to serve as a shield for anything like her status as a princess. It wouldn’t be strange if the current Seria twisted the princess’ neck right away.
Unpredictable.
The more intelligent a person is, the more they morbidly avoid such a person. Beings that could not be calculated had to be out of the scope of the plan in the first place.
Just like that, Shien lost her spirits. She couldn’t even make eye contact properly, she just avoided her gaze.
Into the coward’s ears, a girl’s whisper flows down.
“You were just jealous every day. But I’m afraid to reveal it, and on the other hand, I’m afraid of rejecting her heart… So she was put in a corner, huh? My love has gone far away.”
“…… Yes, jealousy.”
Is it an instinct to somehow prolong life?
Or maybe it was the last remaining pride. Shien inadvertently pursed her lips and swallowed her moaning with her tears.
“Ugh, turn it off… Jealousy, no. How could something like me…… “
“Aha, that word.”
So Seria let out an empty exclamation. And her lightning-like touch pulled out the sword stuck in Shien’s thigh.
There was no time for Shien to prepare for this.
The feeling of her muscles being torn apart struck the princess again.
“Ahhh, yaaagh!”
“To give you goosebumps, you are similar to me. Her Highness will just have to sit in the corner of her room for the rest of her life and shed tears.”
And then Seria gulped at her blood on her blade. Little by little, meticulously, like a cat licking my hand.
That’s it.
At some point, the blue eyes were looking down at the princess in silence. She had the eyes of a judge contemplating what to do.
Should I kill you?
Or maybe it’s useful. It might be a misunderstanding, but she couldn’t get rid of the feeling that the princess thought her partner that way.
So Shien was even more upset.
She was a body driven as she was going to be driven anyway. It was difficult to expect her survival, but her life as a member of the royal family held her back from begging for her life.
How dare you, what are you like?
Looking down at the 5th princess of the empire, Shien?
The hostility and resentment toward her opponent, who had caused her unimaginable pain, became a distorted rage and heated her brain. The driving force behind her girl’s roar was based purely on her irrational feelings.
“Is that so wrong?!”
At that question, Seria sighed and swallowed her drool.
A sign of distress could be seen in her slightly narrowed eyes. If she had been the usual princess, she would have reconsidered the level of her remarks at this point in order to increase the chances of saving her life.
Of course, this is a “Usual” Story.
It wasn’t something that Shien, who was already angry to the ends of her hair, could consider.
“I am a sinner… You know my heart?! The feeling that nothing can be changed even if you regret it?! What if he thinks I’m presumptuous? Do you think I’m being cocky?!”
Should I call it outburst or howl?
It was said without even a single lie. She couldn’t bear to ignore this, but Seria had to let out another deep saliva.
“Hmm… ….”
“I’d rather be by your side! Rather than being hated, you said you would just quietly stand by and watch! That, that… What’s wrong with that!”
It was a word that I kept silent.
It was a long time ago.
The whole world hated the girl. So the girl also decided to hate the world.
Only one person truly gave for the girl. Still, the girl sinned against him, received so many accusations, and the nightmares of her childhood, combined with those wounds, left deeper scars in her heart.
Shien was not normal.
Not only did she not go through a normal growth process in the first place, but the series of events that occurred on the day her life was threatened were enough to break the girl’s spirit.
Everyone around her blamed the princess.
In fact, I knew that it was just an evasion of responsibility. She doesn’t want to admit to her past of blaming innocent people, so she accuses someone of giving her false information.
Isn’t that an obvious story?
However, the problem was that the opponent was a princess.
The truly sick don’t even know they are sick.
If it hadn’t been for an extreme environment like today, Shien wouldn’t have been able to spit out the words she had stored in her heart. Because I myself did not know the identity of the stake driven into my chest.
The princess, struck by her evil, didn’t even realize that fact properly. She just raised her voice as her heart went.
Cold blue eyes and bloodshot light gray eyes collide in the air.
The silence was not long. Before long, Seria nodded her head and began expressing her agreement.
“Right, not bad. The heart that she won’t hurt anyone, but she won’t hurt herself either. That caring… Who can say anything bad?”
“Yes, so…… !”
However, the princess’ words could not be finished.
Have a good time.
Seria’s sword penetrated Shien’s last remaining thigh.
It was as if she had been hit with painkillers. It didn’t take long for her raw pain to cool as her head, heated by her anger, cooled quickly.
A sensation that is hotter than flame, thrilling than electric current, and colder than ice.
My vocal cords, which had been closed, started screaming again.
“Ah, uh, yaaa
“It’s just a double body. Living like that all my life, what? It’s a life where you can’t have anything you want… Huhu, the imperial family is not special either. He boasted that he was of dragon blood, but in the end he was just a foolish and stupid coward…….”
It was plain, and more than that, it was a brutal attack.
Hearing this, the princess immediately showed a dramatic change. To be precise, there was one word that particularly offended the princess.
‘The Imperial Family’.
As soon as those words came out, Shien’s eyes widened to the limit. Her girlish rage was so great that her grunts rang in her ears.
“Stop that word… apologize…… ! How dare you insult the imperial family? Our imperial family, which has not lost its honor and respect for hundreds of years? My father and great-grandfather are enough to make you laugh at me…… !”
She was a princess who had lived as a member of the imperial family all her life.
Naturally, her pride as a member of the imperial family was unmatched by her peers. Wasn’t she also the one who was cared for and raised under her caring father and her strongest great-grandfather?
Sian’s anger was justified.
Insulting the imperial family was tantamount to insulting all the adults in the imperial family.
It was just that this battlefield was a space where common sense in society did not work.
“Let’s say it’s a crime to have an idiot daughter-in-law.”
Sien tried to struggle as best he could, but the victory was already over.
The back of Seria’s sword slapped Shien’s chin with a pop.
There were few superhumans who could withstand the shock that shook her brain. In the end, the princess couldn’t resist any longer and fell flat.
My vision is blurry.
Her mind was hazy, and it was difficult to close her eyelids. Her shaky focus never returned.
I was just upset and tears flowed. Have you ever felt this piercing sense of helplessness, even once in your life?
Suddenly, I had this thought.
Yes, actually Seria was right.
Those who run away and only negotiate will never get what they want. Wasn’t it the truth she had been acquainted with since childhood?
Still, I was scared.
I fear losing everything to get one.
Did I not have the determination to do so?
So is this how my life ends?
Like a fool, like a fool.
Tears streamed down my face, but my body did not gain strength. Only his trembling limbs were causing the final convulsions of his life.
Seria’s hand slowly raised the sword. As if finishing her old homework, with her bored eyes closed.
“Then, please get some sleep… Your blood is pretty good, so I’ll put it to good use…… !”
It was then.
The sword that Seria was holding flew through the air. The bewildered blue eyes turned to my hand holding the sword.
Something happened.
A flash of light, or a hatchet.
Even at that terrifying speed, the back of Seria’s hand remained intact. She could only say that she had phenomenal durability, but even so, Seria’s pupils had no choice but to widen to the limit.
No way.
Why, at this point?
But even on the whole continent, few people handle hatchets like ghosts. Even more so, those who threw were even rarer, and most of all, even the feat of spinning in the air and returning.
Seria froze in place, and the sound of a man’s panting breath pierced her silence.
“…… Hello, Seria.”
Black hair, golden eyes.
I couldn’t deny it any longer.
Ian Perkus is here.
