“Seeing that the request was rejected, there is nothing more to say.”
Serena, who was staring at Frey, who refused to take off her clothes, raises her voice and condemns him.
“You’re a fake Hero for sure. You’ve only been aiming for this moment today.”
“……..”
“Hero, you must have never known that he suffered incurable wounds. Well, in the first place, most people here didn’t even know the existence of a hero.”
Then, for a moment, Serena turns the target to the gathered nobles.
“Actually, I was worried that this information would leak, but the number of soldiers who participated in the last war was so small that it was successfully controlled.”
“…I’m not sure about that.”
While the atmosphere grew darker at those thorny words, Frey, who had been standing still, quietly opened his mouth.
“There’s something you’re overlooking.”
“…what is that?”
“The hero has super recovery ability.”
After hearing those words, Serena shut her mouth and nodded as if to say something more.
“In that video, the hero was fatally wounded several times, but he continued to fight.”
“Yes.”
“Even in the end, it was completely pierced in the back, but in the end the enemy was defeated.”
Pointing to the image that was still floating in the air, Frey turned to everyone and said:
“Looking at this alone, it is not an established fact that a hero has a powerful recovery ability.”
“……..”
“Actually, in the tome of the Starlight family, there is a record of the super recovery ability the first Hero had.”
On Frey’s lips like that, an arrogant smile, like any other, suddenly appeared.
“So I don’t have to take off my clothes here. Heal all wounds from the war…”
“If it’s an old book of the Starlight family… are you talking about this?”
“……..!”
As Serena pulled something out of her arms, her smile instantly distorted.
“How do you… that…”
“You know, Frey. I’m not the only one who hates you.”
What was in her hand was none other than the Starlight family’s secret document.
“My eyes and ears are closer than I thought.”
“…I’ll have to clean up the users soon.”
“You don’t have to. The insiders have just left the mansion, and today the Starlights will disappear from history.”
Hearing those words, a smile crossed Frey’s lips for a brief moment, but his face turned pale with blood fading back.
“What…”
“According to this document, the first hero’s resilience was said to be at a very good level… but there were limits.”
Serena looked at Frey like that with a laugh, and then began to read the document.
“A hero’s ability is to burn his life force for a short period of time to unleash explosive power. Therefore, when he burns his power, his strength and resilience are amazingly amplified.”
“……..”
“After the ability ends, the aftereffects naturally remain.”
“for a moment…”
“So, if all wounds cannot be healed while the ability is being manifested, the traces will inevitably be engraved.”
Having said that, Serena, when she opened her eyes from the document, looked at Frey coldly and questioned him.
“It is said that all the scars on the body of the first hero until just before defeating the Demon King were left as scars.”
“……..”
“But there are scars on your body… no, will there be even small scars left? Frey?”
“…the wounds were all healed during the battle.”
“ha.”
But even then, when Frey refused to give up, she let out a cold sigh with a completely tired expression on her face.
“…You always have. Ugly, wretched, arrogant, disgusting Frey.”
“You’re mean.”
“I was a fool to think that I could have a normal argument with you.”
The moment she drove Frey in with her sharp words and was about to put a wedge into her as she strode over to her.
“Okay then, take off your coat now. If there’s even a slight, microscopic scar left… I might offer my neck…”
“for a moment.”
Frey hurriedly interrupted her words and shouted loudly.
“I have another proof!”
“…under?”
The moment when Serena tilted her head with cold eyes at his loud remarks that echoed everywhere.
“…Bring it.”
“yes.”
The maid who had been waiting in advance, holding something in her arms, started heading towards where Frey and Serena were standing.
“I, is that…?”
“Uh, what happened?”
“I’m confused, I’m confused. I don’t know.”
People who turned their eyes to the new situation, realizing the identity of what was in their arms, began to murmur.
“……..”
“Why but? Serena? Why did the horse suddenly disappear?”
In such a situation, Frey started speaking with a sarcastic tone to Serena who once again had an arrogant smile and shut her mouth.
“Everyone, that’s it.”
Then, he immediately turns his gaze to the attendees of the non-gong procession and declares confidently.
“It is the decisive proof that I am a hero.”
The warrior’s armor with a sophisticated shape, which had arrived in front of Frey, was quietly shining.
.
“Hey, this is…”
At Frey’s request, the Pope, who was hurriedly summoned from the scene, wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted.
“Gee, it’s real! It’s a real warrior’s armor!”
At the pope’s rants, and no one else’s, the atmosphere of the polemics began to stir.
“Now, what are you going to do? Serena?”
“……..”
“Can you take responsibility for the insults you have done to me?”
In such a hot atmosphere, Frey approached Serena’s nose and reached out to ask her.
“If you can’t take responsibility, you…”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
However, Serena continued to speak after hitting it hard with the fan she was holding in Frey’s hand.
“I was so amazed, I forgot to tell you.”
“What?”
“That’s a fake, folks.”
At her resolute declaration, the pope standing next to her screams with an agitation.
“What are you talking about! This must be genuine!”
“Serena, do you mean to say that the Pope is lying?”
Next to him like that, Frey began to chirp quietly.
“The noblest pope in the world, with tens of thousands of members?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m here to accuse you and the Pope of perjury.”
But when Serena responds to his words without the slightest expression, the zealous pope winces and looks at Frey.
“Hey, Frey Ball. I’m sure…”
“Interesting. If so, is there enough evidence?”
The Pope was about to say something, but Frey, who interrupted him in the middle, asked Serena a question with a provocative look.
“Lady, please.”
In the same way, Serena, who was looking at Frey with her provocative eyes, said that in an exasperated voice.
“The Pope’s words are lies.”
The fresh voice of Perloche, who was called the pure white saint, that arose among the people, began to resonate everywhere.
“In the current denomination, the purpose of determining the authenticity of the warrior’s armor… uh, so…”
“…a means.”
“Yes, there is no means.”
Although she was at a loss for word choice for a while, she was able to successfully finish her speech with Serena’s secret help.
“Saint, what is that…!”
“The information on the heroes that the church had was lost several hundred years ago.”
“Hell! All information about the hero is perfectly preserved!”
“Then, does that mean that the saint lied? The saint who immediately loses his divine power if he speaks even the slightest lie?”
“If what Saint said is not a lie, you must have misunderstood something. We are ready to prove it at any time.”
After that remark, a fierce battle ensued between the Pope and Serena.
“Is this evidence thoroughly disguised as lies and fabrications?”
“It’s blasphemy! You must hide your words!”
“Ha, really… I’m sick of it.”
A battle that seemed to go on and on like that.
“…Then let’s prove it here and now.”
“Okay, I’ll call the priests right now…”
“No, I don’t need it.”
With Serena’s resolute voice, it gradually began to approach the end.
“Because above all else, there is a solid proof.”
After those words, Serena quietly turned her gaze to somewhere.
– Ugh…
Someone quietly got up and stood up among the crowd.
“”……..!!!””
Embarrassment and shock stand on the faces of those who recognized that someone’s identity.
“…aria.”
“brother.”
Frey’s younger sister, Arya.
“Now, it’s time to end it all.”
The last blood and blood he had left was slowly walking towards him.
.
“Fray Raon Starlight cannot use star mana.”
Serena’s voice, convinced of victory, resounds.
“Even if you search the Academy records, listen to the testimonies of those around you, you can’t find any evidence that he used stellar mana.”
“Oh, no. I…”
“Shut up, Frey. Just listening to you makes me sick.”
Frey, who was about to make an excuse for him, involuntarily shuts his mouth at Serena’s relentless whispers.
“If it’s really unfair, why don’t you use your star’s mana right here right now?”
“……..”
“Of course you can’t use it. You’re a fake.”
As Serena grabs Frey’s collar and whispers as if he’s shooting him, he pushes him wildly, and Frey falls to the floor helplessly.
“I guess I guessed it. The end you will soon face.”
Serena, who looked down at Frey as if she was looking at a bug without any sympathy, then pointed to Arya and continued her speech.
“But, folks, there’s only one person here who can spend Star Mana.”
“……”
“The fact that the warrior’s armor responds to the mana of the stars is clearly proven by the remaining records and the testimony of the master.”
After those words, Arya took a deep breath and took a step forward.
“Brother… Really…”
“Then, please. Miss Arya.”
“………”
She, who had been taken away by Frey for a moment, quietly bit her lip and turned away at Serena’s polite request.
– aah
And the next moment, the mana of the stars that started pouring into the warrior’s armor that Frey brought.
“”……..””
Before long, there was silence, quieter than ever.
“…indeed.”
In the silence that had lasted for such a long time, Serena opened her mouth with a smile of victory.
“There’s no reaction at all.”
As she said, the armor that Frey had brought was just quietly accepting the light emitted by the star’s mana.
“You brought, ‘fake arms’.”
“Hey, this is a trap.”
As everyone’s cold eyes focused on him, Frey, who was sweating in a cold sweat, mumbled excuses as he took a rough breath.
“Hey, that’s a real warrior’s weapon. It’s been passed down from generation to generation…”
“…to the very end, how can you be so shameless?”
Serena muttered without looking at Frey like that.
“I think it’s time to introduce myself to you.”
Not only her, but everyone’s gaze was already not on Frey.
“…a ‘real’ warrior who defended the empire.”
“Oh my gosh…!”
“I, the author? That Hero?”
“Sir Serena, I hope you’re aiming for this…”
It was pouring on the masked person who was walking with his back to the wide open door, emitting a dazzling brilliance.
“…stop.”
so that.
“…stop it.”
For a brief moment, he witnessed a satisfied smile that appeared on Frey’s lips.
“Please… stop…”
There was only one person, Clana, who had a bloody expression on her face and clenched her fists so tight that blood flowed out.
.
– aah
As the mana of Arya’s star pours into the armor that the newly-appeared person was wearing, colorful and beautiful star patterns appear everywhere.
“The shape of the magic circle that Ma Thap-ju re-created, and the shape left on the record, is exactly the same.”
“ah…”
“With this, I’m sure.”
Serena smiles triumphantly while looking at the people who are fascinated by it.
“The hero we need to help is this person.”
Immediately after that declaration, Serena gives a signal and the guards pour out as if they had promised.
“And the disgusting scum who pretended to be the hero. And the Pope who tried to protect him must pay for that.”
“Come on, wait! Serena-san, something’s wrong…”
“Take it out.”
In that way, Frey and the Pope were caught by the guards in an instant without even having time to say anything.
“…let it go.”
Frey, who had shrugged off the guards’ grips, bowed his head and clenched his teeth, moving forward.
“I will walk by myself.”
When the guards looked at Serena at those words, she said with a laugh.
“Leave it alone. I think I want to build up that humble self-esteem until the end.”
“I, but…”
“Fray. Walk to the outside of the imperial palace yourself, and try it.”
Frey, who staggered with his shoulders drooping, was suddenly pouring numerous eyes on him.
“The karma you have committed in the meantime. The pain that will be poured out on you in the future.”
“……..”
“Observe yourself of that fear and terror, and go away quietly.”
Just as she said, all of a sudden, scoffs and accusations of him resounded from all sides.
“Fray, who was doing so well, is now over.”
“Still, you won’t get the death penalty? It’s a duke’s family.”
“…Instead, from now on, I will live a life that is worse than death.”
Everyone was laughing, slandering, and blaming him as he walked with their heads bowed.
“…hmm.”
But no one could see the gentle smile on his lips as he bowed his head.
“Shall we go see the evening primrose after a long time?”
As he left the nongong peddler’s room, he quietly muttered to himself.
.
“There is only one person I will be loyal to.”
With Serena’s help, the ‘hero’ standing in front of everyone quietly starts speaking.
“I will only give my life for him, I will obey his orders, and I will live for him.”
After hearing those remarks, the people began to murmur again.
“The oath of allegiance of a warrior…”
“Whoever knows, he will have the same power as the emperor.”
“Are you an idiot? If you have an idea, of course you will be loyal to the emperor.”
“Oh, indeed.”
In that chaotic atmosphere, Hero quietly opens his mouth.
“The one I will be loyal to…”
The moment when the emperor sitting in his seat blinked his eyes and stroked his chin, and everyone’s eyes were focused.
“…that’s right, that person.”
For some reason, the hero pointed to the wrong place, not where the emperor was.
“……”
The person sitting there was none other than Clana.
“I saw you fighting alone on the battlefield.”
A hero who slowly approached her and started talking in an atmosphere that seemed to have been hit by a bomb just before the commotion.
“When most of the nobles fled the battlefield and the royal families all fled to safe havens, only you went to the battlefield.”
Everyone who heard those words turned to the 15-year-old girl.
“Therefore, you are the only one worthy of my loyalty.”
“……..”
“Please accept my oath of allegiance.”
Hero, who finally arrived in front of her, knelt down and stretched out his hand, the emperor who was sharpening his teeth, and the people who spit out shouts and cheers.
“ooh…!”
“Such a young princess…”
Of course among them.
“This is going to get complicated.”
“…By the way, Princess Clana has never had a faction.”
“If you want to stand in line, you have to hurry.”
There were also people already rolling the abacus.
“…you are.”
However.
“Who are you?”
“…yes?”
Only one person, Clana, did not care at all about such a situation.
“You’re not Frey.”
“……!”
It was because at this moment, there was only one person in her head.
“Wow, Princess!?”
“Uh, where are you going!?”
.
“…wow!”
Frey, who was walking helplessly down the hallway, collapsed in the hallway with her eyes wide open.
“Who are you…”
He fell on his knees and trembled, then turned his head towards the mysterious assailant who attacked his back.
“haha…”
“…..!?”
With an expression on his face that he couldn’t understand, he widened his eyes.
“…talk to me, Frey.”
Clana, who had been bleeding with her knees bent as to how many times she fell while coming, was panting as she said that.
