“… … ”
Ferzen, who stood back blankly, closed his eyes as he watched the warlocks who finished the feedback process and delivered the information to the bureaucrats.
No matter how certain his heart is, he cannot observe his opinion unless there is material evidence to prove it.
Soon after, the officials who organized the contents reported to His Majesty the Emperor… …
“Lizzy Paul Liana Claudia.”
Her name echoes softly through the silent execution hall.
Kwok.
And Lizzie seemed to know that it was her turn to die soon after.
He held Cesar’s headless corpse by the hand and looked up at the guillotine beyond his blurred vision.
“I was going to inform the rebellion in advance, because the hard work was proven. I will acquit you here today.”
“ah… … ”
“However, the title will still be revoked. In the future, we will be able to restore our honor by playing a role in the war.”

Murmur murmur.The atmosphere inside the execution room, which had been quiet, changes.
Onlookers were surprised that Lizzie had avoided the death penalty, but the key point for them was that the emperor had directly mentioned ‘war’ with his own mouth.
And, of course, Lizzy couldn’t even open her mouth properly by being surprised by the opposite meaning of them.
He didn’t even know that his older brothers had planned a rebellion in the first place, and even more so, he didn’t want to let them know in advance.
From her point of view, it was just beyond belief that she had killed all of Loer and Cesar and spared her life.
Is this a terrible nightmare?
shudder!
Tuk!
However, as the guards approached and loosened the shackles tied to their hands and feet one by one, Lizzy felt her sense of reality return.
“OMG… … ”
a fact that doesn’t make sense.
If you’re going to make them live so miserable, it’d be better to kill them together.
Or was it Ferzen’s gimmick to make even this more painful for the sin of exposing his teeth to him?
jerk.
As if reading his own thoughts before long, Ferzen, who approached him, stopped walking.
With his messed up face, Lizzie looked up at his cold expression.
However, the ridicule that seemed to ridicule his own plight was not reflected at all, and he only muttered in a low voice towards the guards standing behind him.
“Call the maids to give them a bath, and ask a doctor to take care of the wounds.”
“… … All right.”
The guards who hesitated toward Lizzy, who was sitting there, reached out their hands upon receiving the command, but Lizzy, who looked at it, was startled and began to tremble.
It’s been a while since I’ve been mercilessly beaten by them in prison, so I can’t help but cringe instinctively.
However, since that was the only resistance they could do, Lizzie immediately stood up while holding it in their hands as an aggressor and looked at Ferzen.
Then he squeezed his last strength from his tattered and torn body, resisting the guards who were trying to take him, and barely grasped the hem of Ferzen’s robe.
“how much… … ”
The dry scabs didn’t come off easily, but it seemed like I couldn’t stand it if I didn’t vomit out these feelings… …
“why… … spirit… … Mana… … !”
Lizzie desperately opened her mouth and spit out a voice shrouded in despair.
“why… … how much… … me… … !”
Does making it miserable will loosen your intuition?
“… … ”
Unable to continue, the cut off words come to Ferzen’s ears like an auditory hallucination.
It was said that a beautiful woman was beautiful even when she cried, but it must have been so.
I want to see Lizzy crying sadly with her expression distorted to the point that it feels ugly… …
Ferzen thought that she was really ugly, and shook off Lizzy’s soft hand that was clutching the hem of her robe.
Then he turns his back, watching the guards gradually move away from him.
Did she think she did it with the intention of making her even more miserable, or did she think she did this out of sympathy?
If so, that was a really funny delusion.
“Lizzie.”
Lizzy Paul Liana Claudia.
‘I… … ‘
Perhaps more than anyone else in the world, I wished for your death today.
For what purpose are you leaving the traces of the sins you left behind and watching?
again.
“… … ”
Nevertheless, the wish could not be fulfilled simply because it could not be done.
Yes, Ferzen quietly stood in the midst of the execution and closed his eyes as he watched Cesar’s corpse being transported.
The experience of defeat was truly bittersweet.
* * * * *
Although no official announcement was made, the emperor unofficially spoke of ‘war’.
The market flow that ran through the entire Ernes Empire, including the capital, faced a cataclysmic upheaval.
Although it was clearly autumn, which was not a poor crop, the price of grain began to soar.
Those who had only one son in the family tried to adopt an adopted son to be sent to the battlefield in a hurry.
In the midst of such a tumultuous time in the world, Lizzy was the only one lying on her bed peacefully… …
crumble.
I woke up very late, 2 in the morning.
Shake!
And the first thing that greeted her the moment she woke up was the pain that drove away tiredness and drowsiness.
Since she was no longer in a stressful situation, her brain began to recognize the bruises carved throughout her body and where she was in the bone.
The sap mixed with painkillers was inserted into her delicate arm and injected into the blood vessels, but the area around her ribs, which hurts whenever she moved even a little, made it difficult to breathe.
“You need to sleep a little more.”
“… … ”
The owner of the voice that was heard amid the gradually clearing mind was an elderly doctor sitting in a white robe.
“Take this. I heard it was a young-ae thing.”
“… … ”
Seeing the confiscated legislator handing over his own altar designated as a warlock, Lizzy accepted it pitifully.
“I’m going to tell you to prepare a simple Mieum, so please take your medicine with it and go to sleep again.”
“… … ”
Lizzy didn’t even respond, but the lawmaker didn’t show much of it.
Lizzy, who had been sitting with her upper body raised up vacantly like a mountain pine, after a while gently stroked her altar to open the space.
“Can I call someone?”
“… … it’s okay.”
He controls the corpse he normally works with with magical powers and makes him bring a wheelchair nearby.
And when Lizzie, who had barely moved there, tried to leave the room, the senator grabbed her infusion and prepared to move with her.
From the legislator’s point of view, this was just to be considerate of the thought that Lizzy wouldn’t be able to take the infusion stand with the current infusion solution on it because the body would simply push the wheelchair, but… …
Lizzie knew that he was attached to her as her watchdog, so she opened her mouth while forcing herself to endure the rising pain.
“restroom… … I am coming.”
“ah… … I will call the maid.”
“If you work one more ward… … it’s okay.”
When another body got up from the coffin coming out of the subspace and grabbed her infusion instead, the lawmaker quietly retreated because he couldn’t follow him all the way to the bathroom.
“The air is cold. I am sick, so please come in without getting any wind.”
“… … ”
Without answering, Lizzy leaves the hospital room.
Kirik.
Kick… …
A dark hallway resounding with only the sound of a rolling wheelchair and the footsteps of the corpses following them.
so maybe
Lizzie felt the emptiness of Loer and Cesar, who was her only blood, was too big.
While living in the academy, I thought that I had escaped the arms of my older brothers to some extent.
What we can meet, but what we haven’t met.
There was a huge difference between what I wanted to meet but couldn’t meet.
If you walk through this thick darkness that seems to be projecting the underworld, would Loer and Cesar be waiting there?
Kirik.
However, at the end of the darkness, the only thing that greeted Lizzie was the moonlight coming through the closed window.
“… … ”
Yes, if only Loer and Cesar could not meet.
To a place where we can’t meet, shouldn’t we just go there ourselves?
So Lizzy opened the closed window as if possessed by something.
A chilly autumn wind pierces inward, skimming through Lizzy’s skin, making the pain of the bruise more distinct… …
At this moment, Lizzy couldn’t feel the pain.
squeaky.
“… … ”
But at that time, I don’t know if it was because of the wind that was blowing.
As a faint ray of light leaked out through the door that was gently opened from behind, Lizzy turned her head unknowingly.
It was not because he felt popular, but because he felt an unknown attraction beyond that small open door.
And like déjà vu, before I hurt my leg.
read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Memories of my childhood and my family who played hide and seek are projected.Very small and fragile, but with strong legs that are different from what they are now.
He said he found his brother with a bright smile, and he sees a young self entering through that door.
Kick… …
Lizzie didn’t even think about it, and didn’t even control the body.
I rolled the wheel of the wheelchair with my own hands.
Tuk!
Then, the needle stuck in the blood vessel is pulled out by the beggar, and bright red blood flows down Lizzy’s arm.
Because even hemostasis was not done properly, the area swelled up, but Lizzie did not even blink an eye… …
squeaky.
I opened the door through which a faint light leaked out, and went inside.
“ah… … ”
And beyond that, something piled on a red cloth was placed in a friendly pair.
Lizzy intuitively recognized that those were Cesar’s and Loer’s supply and demand.
It was tightly wrapped in red cloth and invisible from the outside, but how could you not know?
Shrek.
Lizzie came closer and untied the cloth, exposing the heads of Cesar and Loer.
And she carefully radiated her magical powers, and embraced the supply and demand of her two older brothers, who were her family.
… … No matter how much Fersen was said to be Brutein’s deficit.
You wouldn’t be able to get yourself out of that situation.
If so, it was probably not his older brothers who prepared this situation with a high probability.
Lizzy could hardly believe that Loer had rebelled in the first place, so he received feedback through a ministry connected with magical powers.
“Ah, uh… … ah… … ”
Of course, even if it was Lizzy, who was of the same blood.
They could not uncover the most perfect secret in this world created by the two of them.
There was no memory of the ‘process’ part in the first place, so even if the secret was for my beloved sister… …
No, rather that’s why.
Loer and Cesar made that Pandora’s box so that even Lizzie could not open it.
But even if the memory of the ‘process’ part does not exist, just like Ferzen and the imperial officials.
Lizzie was also able to receive enough feedback on the remaining memories of the introductory part.
… … Even if he revolted, the many things he planned so that the painter would not reach him.
Yes, just by reading it, Lizzie fully understood the current situation.
Perhaps no less than Ferzen, or even more so.
With a strong heart, Lizzy pulled Cesar and Loer’s heads into her arms.
“Huh… … ah… … Whoa!”
The chilled body temperature is no longer warmed by its own warmth.
He was weeping bitterly, but his brothers, who had already died, couldn’t even reach out their hands kindly to comfort them.
Where the hell did it go wrong?
No, I’m sure it was Ferzen’s fault.
He did not know that it was his fault that he met such a disastrous result.
I’ve neglected so many, so many things.
Ferzen von Schweig Brutein.
After the day that he was broken by that man, not only the desire to get revenge.
He has neglected even his loved ones.
If you were to pursue the unfinished happiness of not getting revenge, until the end… … to the end.
He should have persuaded his brothers.
he couldn’t
On the contrary, if their older brothers were servile, miserable, and pathetic, they might be able to do what they couldn’t do.
Did you not have any false hopes?
And Loer and Cesar went forward to realize that vain hope.
Of course, it can also be seen as an act of turning your back on family in the same way as Lizzy in a broad sense.
Because it was like saying giving up on the future of living together without giving up on revenge.
But if there is a crucial difference… …
Loer and Cesar did not turn away from Lizzie.
Even if everything is broken and a broken future awaits.
A small boat was set up so that the wind and waves would never reach Lizzie.
“Ugh… … ! uh… … ! Whoa!”
So Lizzy Paul Liana Claudia.
All she could do was get on the sculptural boat prepared by Loer and Cesar and watch the burial of the family ship.
There is no more world to cry with her.
There was no longer a world where she could laugh with her.
* * * * *
“Uh… … !”
Shake!
Late in the morning, at the sound of a mournful cry echoing through the corridors of the imperial palace.
The knights and the guards arrive at the source.
However, seeing Ferzen standing there quietly leaning against the wall, he stopped walking in bewilderment.
“Lou, Count Ruerg… … ”
“Let me go back.”
“Ah, inside… … ”
“It is nothing.”
Really, it was nothing.
Ferzen waved them back to their original positions.
Then, unwittingly, he unconsciously searches for the tobacco, smiles bitterly, and closes the window in the open hallway.
Judging by the traces left here, perhaps Lizzy was not trying to kill herself.
And what turned it around was also Loer and Cesar in that room.
Really, who is doing more cruel things? …
Ferzen couldn’t figure it out.
