Inside the prison, where the sense of time had disappeared, Ciel Midford looked with dim eyes to the faint light outside the iron bars that drove the darkness away.
Since I lost my sense of time, I couldn’t say for sure if it was a few days ago.
But standing in front of him as if passing by, he vaguely remembered the encounter with a man whose face he did not know who had given him some kind of help.
──Ciel Midford, your simple assertion and death will not be able to prove Prince Inas’ innocence. No, the Ernes Empire will deprive you of even a chance to do so.
There was no voice coming out of his mouth, but the voice filled with noise that resonated in his brain made even himself, who was engulfed in despair and frustration, raise his head.
──So, if you don’t want the Inas den Prussian Lobelium to be your companion to the underworld, perjury it. Bring in the Alfreds and force them to go through the verification process with your body.
The meeting was fleeting, and it must have been only 5 seconds.
However, thanks to that advice, Ciel Midford rebuked himself for quietly surrendering himself to the flow of despair.
That said, after thinking deeply, it seemed that the Ernes Empire could not grant Prince Inas any good convenience in this situation.
The survival of Prince Inas means the end of the Elmark Empire, while death means that the Ernes Empire can dominate the Lobelium Kingdom… …
In order to undoubtedly untie the knot with others who were unfairly tied to the thread of his own, he had no choice but to mix lies with the truth.
Thus, upon further investigation, Ciel Midford recruited the Alfreds and entwined them with the Bruteins.
The best thing a knight in a kingdom who is caught as a sinner can do.
Since then, Ciel Midford has never been out of prison, but he was able to lift his heart to some extent about the Lobelium Kingdom from which he had taken him.
So today, not now… …
Seeing the Imperial Knights of the Ernes Empire lined up in a row outside the door with an unusually chilly breeze, Ciel Midford had an intuition.
‘ah… … ‘
The end is coming.
shudder!
The prison door opens, and he forcibly raises himself, who is bound by the restraints, and takes him somewhere.
squeaky… … !
Inside the prison, which was always filled with only turbid air, the moment you step out of the prison, fresh air and warm sunlight shine down on you.
When Ciel Midford, who instinctively frowned at him, opened his eyes again, it could be said that it was the closest place to the underworld in this life… …
The execution ground, filled with the scent of death, revealed a clear form.
“Move. You don’t have time to stand still. If there was time for that, it would be after I was taken to death.”
“… … ”
Following the pull of the knights, Ciel Midford slowly stepped forward, and in the process, he was able to engrave the people who entered the execution ground one by one.
Emperor of the Ernes Empire.
The king of the Lobelium Kingdom.
The elder of the Alfred family.
The head of the Brutein family.
Ferzen von Schweig Brutein.
and… …
Euphemia El Laurenne Ruerg.
Looking at her, Ciel Midford lay down on his last nest made of black iron—like a coffin.
Then the neck and waist, hands and feet are once again filled with tight restraints, and the whole body is completely bound.
At the same time, a member of the legislature walked out slowly and began to touch Ciel Midford’s veins.
It was difficult to find the blood vessels because his whole body was burnt, but the lawmaker skillfully pointed at Ciel Midford’s veins and looked up at the emperor of the Ernes Empire carefully.
“then… … I will begin the execution of Ciel Midford, who tried to assassinate Count Ruerg.”
It was a moment when a life lost, but no one was sad.
No, someone was sad.
The heat that rides on the wind is a cry… …
It disappeared quickly, but Ciel Midford knew who the owner of the cry was.
So, even if the restraints on her neck interfered with her, she patiently endured the pain until she became flesh, and gave her eyes to Euphemia El Laurenne Louerg.
‘Greed, maybe… … ‘
If not… …
‘Was it the wind that went beyond the topic… … ‘
Someone said that in life there is a great teacher called misfortune.
If that’s true… …
That teacher, somehow, until the last moment of graduating from life.
Does it not teach happiness, but only despair and frustration?
The drug is then injected into the blood vessel.
It was calm at first, but as the drug spread throughout his body, Ciel Midford felt intense pain rising from within and began to convulse violently.
“Cool–!”
Not bright red, but black, dead blood erupts from his mouth.
In the midst of all that, Ciel Midford never took Euphemia away from his eyes.
Looking at it, Euphemia covered her mouth with both hands.
‘miss… … ‘
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Meeting you is always a misfortune for me… …He gave me the most beautiful winter of my life.
‘perhaps… … ‘
Is that so?
The footsteps we walked together and the relationship we made together… …
As if engraved on snow.
And, it seems to be connected with the eyes.
Spring is coming, summer is coming… …
Slowly, without a trace, it begins to melt.
thud.
thud… …
heart stops
Death was imminent, Ciel Midford felt.
‘miss… … ‘
someday… …
After going through countless cycles of reincarnation, if we meet again… …
Plant the seeds of friendship in the spring.
germinate in summer.
in full bloom in the fall.
I won’t lose even in winter.
Having such a meeting… …
Let’s make love… …
Before long, Ciel Midford’s eyes closed.
Yes, the main character in the novel–he is dead.
In the clear and sunny sky without a single cloud, the warm sunlight was pouring down on the ground without change.
* * * * *
“May 23rd. 11:45 am… … I have confirmed the death of the criminal, Ciel Midford.”
A word from a member of the legislature that resounds indifferently.
Euphemia turned around.
Without crying, she shed tears.
I wanted to cry, but I knew enough that it wasn’t the place to be.
Of course, no matter how hard you try… …
When Ciel Midford brought the Alfred family into perjury, he had to have a motive to accept the murder quest to make a statement, so he confessed to the entangled affair with Ferzen.
So, the reason why Ferzen’s wife was doing this, everyone in the room knew.
However, as Euphemia had tried, she pretended not to know.
The weight of the name Brutein… …
They covered their eyes.
Because they covered their ears and mouths.
“then… … We will have time to cross-check the testimony of criminal Ciel Midford.”
A warlock on the side of the Ernes Imperial family.
A warlock on the side of the Lobelium Kingdom.
A warlock from the Alfred family.
and… … Ferzen von Schweig Ruerg, he walked out.
Eventually, in turn, each of the warlocks ministered to the dead body of Ciel Midford and went through the process of verifying the feedback based on the facts he testified… …
“It’s perjury.”
“It’s perjury.”
“It was perjury.”
All, when the verdict of perjury came out.
Finally, Ferzen radiated magical energy to minister Ciel Midford, and then got up.
Of course, his testimony was perjury, so no feedback was received.
But Ferzen did not end there, and slowly reached out towards Ciel Midford’s head.
‘If he had intended to testify like that from the beginning… … ‘
Would it have been like that from the beginning?
Why did he later go and flesh out his testimony?
It could be said that it is the result of long thinking.
If you understand the situation to a certain extent, you will be able to understand without difficulty that it is profitable to kill him here when the Ernes Empire will hand over Prince Inas to the Elmark Empire’s long-term horse.
However, Fersen felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable, so he decided that he could not go on like this.
‘It is not known exactly what kind of means of putting people into a state of affairs, but… … ‘
If it is in the form of a drug.
Receive the blessing of the god who presides over the protection.
In just a few months, the core magic has bloomed… …
Isn’t this a golden opportunity to acquire the sharpest dagger that doesn’t ask for anything in return to stab the heart of the villain who robbed the heroine?
tuk.
Before long, Ferzen’s hand touched Ciel Midford’s head.
And if it is a dead body, Psychometry is unfolding that can read the core memories of the lifetime that had the greatest influence on the ego only once.
“… … ”
But it was not read.
There, Ferzen was convinced.
Ciel Midford… … that he wasn’t dead.
“count.”
The emperor called for Ferzen, who had been keeping his mouth shut for a long time.
Only then did Ferzen come to his senses, remove his hand, and say.
“perjury… … That’s it.”
testimony too.
and.
even death.
