112 – Isolation
“…… Hmm.”
With a sensation in her head, White opened her eyes.
As soon as I opened it, there was a person in sight.
Black hair and golden eyes.
“…… !”
Break!
Seeing Ashera’s worried expression coming into view, White quickly raised her body.
“You can lie down a little longer.”
“…… No, Master.”
Shaking her head with effort at Ashera’s words, White narrowed her eyes.
…… Her head hurt
At the same time, you start to be aware of the situation.
Looking around, there was a sight that caught my eye.
A dense and distant forest of trees.
It was a place I knew.
It was the Ashera forest located near the Qliphort Mansion.
“…… When did you come to the dukedom?”
“Well, maybe a day or two?”
“…… Yes?”
White blinked blankly at Ashera’s calm reply.
…… What did you hear?
‘Two days?’
…… Is she saying that it’s been at least two days since she passed out?
Stick-
“…… Ugh.”
Once again, a dizzy sensation swept through my whole body.
My body staggers, but I try to keep my balance.
White shifted her gaze to Ashera.
“…… Master.”
White had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
I don’t know what it is.
She didn’t know why she had such a sad look on her face.
…… But, for some reason, she felt as though she had committed a very grave sin.
I still couldn’t guess the reason, but it was because I just felt that way.
“Sorry.”
White first chose to bow her head and apologize.
I don’t know the exact reason for her, but it was because she seemed to be involved in the cause of her distressed expression.
“…… What are you sorry about?”
White pressed her lips together at Ashera’s reply.
Fast thinking.
What, what actions of herself made her upset.
…… There were several things that came to mind.
And among them, one of the most probable reasons comes out of her mouth.
“…… Wasn’t it because I attacked Shasar without any countermeasures?”
It was a very cautious and uncertain voice.
“… ….”
Ashera did not answer.
Just staring at White, silently shining her cool eyes.
And that gaze came to White with a greater sense of pressure than any other pressure.
“…… Wasn’t it?”
Again, I ask carefully.
Looking at Ashera’s eyes, White twitched her fingertips.
Ashera was just staring at White like that.
“…… Whoa.”
Soon after, she let out a breath, looking very tired.
White’s body startled and trembled.
Ashera’s actions and the way she flinched in response to her every word was quite funny, but she was not aware of that, at least not until now.
A moment of silence.
However, the silence was quite uncomfortable, and in the end White had no choice but to part her lips again on his own.
After a moment’s thought, she puts her second guess into her mouth.
“So, is it because she couldn’t quite kill Violet?”
“…… No.”
This time, Ashera immediately puts her infidelity into her mouth.
Her expression brightened slightly at that, but soon, White thought that nothing would change, and White fell into trouble again.
However.
“…… Disciple.”
Didn’t I really like the look of White?
With a voice even colder than before, Ashera began to open her mouth.
“You really don’t know why I am angry?”
“…… That is.”
White’s expression hardened.
…… She had a hunch that she should come up with her answer immediately, but unfortunately she didn’t have an idea right away.
That’s why she hesitates, she just keeps her mouth shut and keeps an eye on Ashera.
“…… Stupid, really.”
Then Ashera covered her forehead with the palm of her hand.
Seeing as if he was suppressing his passion, White lowered his gaze.
“… ….”
Ashera was silent again for a moment.
A mysterious expression began to dwell in her eyes as she stared at White.
Soon, not too late, she opened her mouth again.
“Why did you attack Shasar?”
“Yes?”
White asked as she quietly lifted her head.
But maybe it’s because she didn’t understand her question, she flinched and pursed her lips.
From noble mtl dot com
“…… That is.”
She tries her best to roll her hair for a short time.
…… First of all, it seemed clear to her that she had been beaten by Shah Sar.
In the first place, the last thing I remembered was the sight of Shah Sar grabbing her by the throat, so it was natural if it was natural.
“… ….”
But at the same time, she is telling me that now she herself has been moved into this forest.
Obviously. It must mean that Asherah stopped Shasar.
…… And you would have saved yourself.
White’s expression changed in a complicated way.
‘…… Unsightly.’
With a look of self-reproach, he bit her lip once.
…… Literally, it was unsightly.
If she had lost her temper and rushed at it without any countermeasures, wouldn’t she have done at least some meaningful damage, even if she couldn’t have won?
But he couldn’t even do that, and he was completely suppressed.
How can it not be funny?
…… Even thinking about being rescued by Ashera in the middle of it, she was so ashamed that she wanted to hang herself.
“…… Ha.”
Let out a sigh once.
I had to get my head together.
A shameful thing is a shameful thing, at least not something to think about now.
First of all, I had to get the answer out.
“…… Isn’t Shasar the head of the 12 demon lords?”
White struggled to part her lips, and Ashera nodded her head as if to listen first.
“What does that have to do with the disciple attacking him?”
A cold voice and an indifferent tone made White break out in a cold sweat without even realizing it.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her holding back her anger like that.
So, all the more, she felt that she had to answer well.
Swallowing her dry saliva, White opened her mouth again.
He spits out hastily made excuses.
“Killing him is the most important thing for my purposes. As a mage belonging to the Empire, he was also a target to be antagonized with…….”
That’s why it was a surprise attempt.
Wanting to kill him was a natural thing for a person on the side of the Empire that declared war on the 12 demon lords.
…… So, he spits out very crude excuses.
Sorrow fell over White’s expression.
‘…… Fool.’
I blame myself, and at the same time grit my teeth.
At best, it’s just an excuse.
She can’t be this ridiculous, starting with herself, how disappointed Ashera must be.
Perhaps she can no longer hold back her anger and looks at herself with colder eyes.
…… That wasn’t what she wanted.
‘But, I can’t help it.’
With her head hanging weakly, White continues her thoughts.
…… What can I do?
If you don’t bring up a made-up story, there will be only one option left.
She should have explained why she lost her temper and rushed at Shah Sar as soon as she saw him, starting with the feelings underlying her.
The situation was too ambiguous to tell such a story.
Perhaps Violet hasn’t lost her life yet either.
Since Shasar appeared, it might be natural.
In the end, the fourth revenge wasn’t complete.
…… So, now is not the time to talk about it.
Like that, it was around the time White was trying to avoid the situation.
“…… Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”
Ashera parted her lips in a chilling tone, as White expected.
Looking down at White, who lowered her head, Ashera drew her wry smile.
“You seem to be misinterpreting my question, disciple.”
“…… Yes?”
As White raised her head and questioned, Ashera continued her words.
“I don’t want to hear such loose-fitting excuses. You asked to hear the truth.”
Jogon Jogon She let out her voice, and she gave a dull glare to her cold eyes.
A light of unmistakable anger was floating in her eyes.
“Do you understand, White?”
…… Before I knew it, the title had changed.
Naturally, White couldn’t help but be nervous.
It was difficult to judge that she was in a good mood simply by calling her name.
Rather, in this case, in this atmosphere.
Because most of them were probably struggling to hold back their anger.
“I don’t want to ask carefully like I used to. I’m giving orders now. I have no intention of waiting patiently until I kill the fourth demon king.”
“…… S, Master.”
White called out to Ashera in embarrassment, but she did not stop her words.
As if she had made up her mind, her eyes glowed coldly as Shera continued her words.
“If you understand, tell me the truth right now. From one to ten, all the secrets that the disciple is hiding.”
…… If not.
As she added that, Ashera slowly began to raise her mana.
A chilly, yet at the same time bloody emotion began to rise above her golden eyes.
“…… As of today, my relationship with you as a priest is over.”
“…… !”
And with that one word.
It’s so simple, in just one word.
Over White’s expression, nothing more was astonished.
…… But as if she wouldn’t back down, Ashera just calmly maintained a cold, expressionless expression.
At that point, White could sense it.
That the words she utters right now are not simply bravado.
…… If you don’t tell the truth right away, you’re sincerely prepared to break away from yourself.
