634 – 8. Testament (8)
Iris inadvertently took a slight backward step. It was the first humiliation she had ever experienced in her life.
Like it or not, Celine was just staring at Iris with her empty eyes.
“You must have felt no guilt, right? As if no one hurts her heart by stepping on her ants… Even after erasing our family and throwing us into hell.”
“There was a reason why I had to do that.”
“I know.”
Pak, pak.
As Celine took another step, sparks erupted and dissipated at the end of her dragging attitude on the ground. Iris had to just watch it with a hard expression on her face.
“I have it too… The circumstances of having to kill you.”
Revenge.
The most perfect cause, where can there be a clearer and more legitimate circumstance?
As she neared her death, Iris’s hand reached into my arms. There was a scroll of transfer magic with the imperial palace as its coordinate. No matter how dangerous, just one chance to save her life.
She watched the battle until the end and gathered the necessary information. If this could be communicated properly, the Master could have been recruited to subdue ‘Celine Hastur’.
No, there is no need to ask.
With that thought, Princess Iris was about to activate her scroll.
“…… Your Highness, no!”
Like an outburst, a man’s cry erupts, and swords collide with swords.
Kang!
It was the last trainee knight engulfed in flames. As befits a skilled man who reached a high level of expertise, he had several burns on his body, but he did not appear to be mortally wounded.
Iris had no choice but to put on a bewildered expression.
“Run away now! I’ll take care of this! The scroll will never be torn near this ruler… You must run away as far as you can!”
There was no room for doubt.
Boom, bang, bang!
At the battle beyond the limits of vision, Iris quickly began to run away. He didn’t understand why, but his intuition told him to trust the knight’s loyalty.
Since the end of the clash, Celine widened the distance and turned to the knight in silence. Then, the last knight burst out laughing and said.
“That flame burns ‘image’… That’s why it never turned off.”
Of course, no answer came back.
Celine was just checking her body condition, squeezing and stretching her hand that held the handle of her sword.
“But kid, you don’t know yet. ‘High Expert’ is a level that can’t be reached overnight like you… At least it’s not to the point where I’ll be defeated by you all at once.”
Just like that, the moment the knight’s swordplay aimed at Celine again.
Hundreds of swords appear. The swords lined up in the air seemed like an illusion at first glance.
But Celine knew.
When dealing with a high expert who can distort reality with images, falsehood and truth were not particularly important. Because they were the ones who turned the void into reality.
The last remaining knight spoke under her breath.
“I am Theon of the Rufemion family. Who are you?”
Celine lowered her stance again. Hold on to that
The girl who kept her silence finally opened her mouth.
“…… ‘Anger’.”
Flame, flames burn through the blade.
The scale is overwhelming.
As if it hadn’t been sincere up until now, the girl’s flames soared high into the sky. The sound of crackling and burning made her eardrums tingle.
“Set the whole world on fire.”
Right after that brief addition.
Hundreds of swords and waves of flame danced.

Iris’ vision was blurry.
She was a woman who narrowly saved her life from illness when she was young. She was bound to be frail, and I swear she never ran so desperately like this.
In her heart, she wanted to stop.
But didn’t Acolyte Theon say goodbye instead?
‘You must run away as far as you can!’
What’s more, every time an explosion erupted behind her, Sanya shivered all over her body. It’s to the point of wondering why she doesn’t send any reinforcements from the academy.
“Kyaagh?!”
The woman’s staggering body soon reached its limit.
Iris, who was running while wearing her skirt, eventually stepped on the hem of her dress and fell over. The sharp pain that pierced her skin felt really strange to her.
I never thought I would end up like this.
She could never forgive. When she goes back, she will go on her hunt with full force.
She did so when she was panting and catching her breath.
Sabak.
Should I say instinct?
Her little noise came so clearly that the hairs on her whole body stood up. Iris’ gaze of disbelief slowly turned to her back and behind her.
Tawny eyes.
Her black hair, black skirt, heat and burns.
This is a sleeping flame.
It wasn’t in her head, but in her heart. Iris gasped for breath at any moment, but she questioned.
“Uh, how…… ?”
High expert, so quickly.
At most 10 minutes had passed. Except for the Master, there was no existence that could subdue the High Expert in such a short time.
But that Hastur family woman did it.
It felt like the forgotten past came back as an undeniable mistake. It seems as if this entire series of processes is inevitable.
Iris trembled with her body.
“What do you want to say?”
At Celine’s calm question, Iris exclaimed without hiding her emotion.
“Don’t be ridiculous… Do you think the imperial princess goes outside without any insurance?! My body is protected by barriers that overlap as many as 48 times…….!”
Rest.
As the flames burned, they began to devour the barrier that protected the princess’s delicate body. As she watched the formula melt down along the flames, Iris stopped crying at her.
I tried to get her up and knocked her on the butt.
With a crying face, as a last resort, he pulled out a scroll, followed by dry requests.
“It would be better not to tear it.”
There was no ripple in Celine’s expression when she said that. Iris didn’t know the true meaning of her advice.
Heh, heh. She took in a breath and slowly loosened the grip on her scroll.
The distance between the two is very close.
Iris asked, crying.
“My, I… am i doing something wrong? But, I’m sure… Okay! Aren’t you afraid of my great-grandfather?! If you touch the imperial family, he will never…… !”
That’s it.
The attitude penetrated Iris’s stomach. With a sigh, her woman’s consciousness clouded as her blood bubbled up.
“Tell me to come.”
With a thump, the woman’s body collapsed.
After completing her revenge, the girl turned her back and disappeared without a word. Again, somewhere no one knows.
Without knowing that a light green liquid was pouring out of Iris’ arms.
It was the whole story of the second princess of the empire in critical condition.
**
The slander of Princess Iris.
It wasn’t just me and Shiene-senpai who came running after hearing this. In the intensive care unit of the temple, a familiar passenger greeted us.
“Lee, Sir Ian!”
The 5th Princess of the Empire, Shien.
She came up to me with a teary face today as well. The two hands neatly gathered in front of her chest seemed to represent the princess’s feelings.
“Uh, sister… Sister…… !”
“You will be fine.”
“However, no matter how much treatment, consciousness does not return…… !”
“Your Highness the Princess.”
I pretended to be as calm as possible and lowered my voice.
When my hands were placed on her shoulders, Shien, who had a puppy-like face wet in the rain, startled and shook her body.
“You will be fine.”
“Yes, yes… ….”
Shien answered in a somewhat bewildered voice, and she slipped away from her seat. Then, Siene-senpai was the first to rush at Iris.
“Your Highness!”
I could feel Siene-senpai’s agitation in that trembling voice. She dared not even touch Iris’s body, and her hands, just wandering around, were trembling as well.
“How, who dares…… !”
Actually, Shiene-senpai knew that too.
Because I heard the rough information before coming here.
The personnel escorting her princess are groaning as they suffer from the illusion of her. Like a victim of an incident.
It must be Celine.
An unprecedented headache attacked my brain as I intuited this. To the extent that I inadvertently squeezed between my lips and let out a moan.
Shien wouldn’t have known this either.
That’s why he hesitates and doesn’t even dare to support me, so he’s looking at me.
I muttered in a voice mixed with a sigh.
“What the hell are you thinking… ….”
There were many reasons why the imperial family could not be touched.
Because it could turn into an international problem.
From noble mtl dot com
Imperial intelligence is lurking everywhere.
Because there could be a bounty of billions of dollars.
But all of this was just a side reason. The reason why everyone on the continent looks up to the imperial family and dares not touch it.
It was because of the existence of only one person.
A single person who can reorganize the power structure of the continent, and the greatest deterrent that the empire possesses.
The fact that he would move was self-evident.
He was a serious son of a powerful successor who was fighting over the next throne. To the extent that such violence was allowed to be tolerated, people in the world had no reason to fear him in the first place.
This was demonstrated in just a few minutes.
Boom!
