desert. The border area where the battle takes place.

-Gang! gang! gang!

“Huh! huh! Whoa!”

The barracks of the Penetian New Kingdom were noisy.

Trainees and skilled soldiers, stretchers to carry the wounded, and workers to spread meals.

It was bustling with people moving firewood and mending worn out armor.

Cheers and shouts went back and forth between orders and answers.

“Get out of the way, His Majesty Guk-seo is coming!”

“Get out of the way!”

“Stand back!”

‘Aww!’ The procession was noisy.

It was a high posture that was hard to imagine as a procession going to receive the Crown Princess’s interrogation.

This was the first time Werner appeared outside since ‘The Day’.

Those who were busy with their movements stood in their seats and made an example.

Some even had the courage to peek at the appearance of Gukseo.

Then they all groaned and bowed their heads.

Sitting on the wheel chair, he was skinny and skinny and looked seriously ill.

No, the critically ill was beaten.

“Sir, we are almost there.”

“Ahh! Ugh…!”

Every time the wheels rattled, there was a painful moan.

The man had lost his right arm and right leg in the Temple of the Boundary.

Commissioner Ronald Rupert, who was at the scene, said that he had used healing powers, but the cut was burned with a holy fire and could not be sutured.

The prosthetic limbs, which the blacksmith in the barracks hastily made, swayed under the empty hem of his robe.

A piece of iron with no decorations.

It was a color and shape that didn’t suit him at all.

White-stained servants and servants followed in a line.

Half of them were scared and wept.

It was natural for the owner to despair.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah… hurt······!”

The voice that had been raised was cut off. He drank too much smoke and had a hoarse sound in his lungs.

He also said that it is difficult to heal completely because it is a burn caused by the torch.

“Come on, tell the Crown Princess. You can’t stay out of bed too long!”

“Yes, yes!”

The knight hastily carried out his orders.

Even the commander-in-chief called his survival a miracle.

He said that it was surprising that there was no shock death in the faithful.

Many people agreed that it was ‘Really the bloodline of Irener’s. It wasn’t a strange reaction.

Guk-seo was originally a person who was hated and revered by the new people, envy and affection at the same time.

Here, rumors spread that it was the Crown Prince of the Empire who killed him.

Anger spread like wildfire among the people.

He was terrified at the fact that the imperial grandson of an enemy country had dared to attack His Majesty King Guk-seo, and some of them gathered in front of the royal castle and wept.

There were also a lot of torches that wanted revenge.

Under these circumstances, Guk-seo did not go home and stayed in the barracks, so the morale of the soldiers was higher than ever.

It was unavoidable. All of this.

“Eat it.”

The knights guarding the entrance politely rolled up the tent.

The old servant pushed the wheel chair in with a sombre face.

With the bonfire in the center, the twelve archbishops stood in a circle waiting for Gukseo.

Crown Princess Elissa Penetian sat in the highest position.

She was dressed in solid silver armor.

A faint fire and the dust of the battlefield rose from the surroundings.

Seeing the warrior’s bloody sleeves, the servants flinched and bowed their necks.

“Our princess…”

“I called because I have something to check.”

“·················ogue.”

“If there is a crime, I will judge in the name of the king’s representative here.”

It was a cold voice. There was not even a simple greeting between the couple.

There was no suggestion of a glass of water.

Elissa’s sapphire-colored eyes were cold because they were cold, and hot because they were cold.

She hadn’t slept properly since the battle in the temple.

Only with the cardinal’s physical strength and training he endured all the pressures.

If Cornelis hadn’t returned safely to the royal castle, if it hadn’t been for Roseharder’s court lady who had left to take care of the state affairs… I was convinced that it had already collapsed.

These thoughts could not be shared with others. She was the heir to the throne.

Never show weakness.

“I will ask.”

“How, how can you come to your father?”

“Did your father stab Jesse?”

It was sharp as a poison sting.

Guk-seo blinked as if she had heard the most absurd thing in the world.

The summoned priests also looked at the Crown Princess with great respect. Elisha did not waver.

He just kept his eyes on his father and waited for an answer.

“Elise?”

“When I entered the shrine, the first thing I saw was my father. The Prince of Lister was attacking his father. By the time he stopped him, behind him… I found Jesse.”

Elisha’s eyes darkened.

Obviously, I felt my brother’s ether from beyond the labyrinth.

It was a brief moment, but she vividly remembered the summer days she had spent in Lister.

I wanted to hold that child’s friendly energy in my hand all the time.

Because it shakes and suffers greatly, at first I thought it was because of the test of the maze.

I guessed that I must also be going through a similar ordeal because I was sick after seeing my family’s fantasies.

It wasn’t until I got out of the maze, when it was time to mix my hands with the prince, that I realized I was wrong.

-Kaga River! Kang, Kang, Kwagwagwang!

‘Oh my God, Jesse·······! Jesse!’

Shocked to see his dying father, he was too slow to judge.

The child immersed in the sea of blood did not move. The ether was no longer felt. even alittle.

It was the first such fear.

‘Ahhh! How can my brother be like that!’

‘How!’ She screamed evil. Surprised, even tears did not flow.

The runaway prince had already lost his reason.

No language was touched, and the orange eyes were out of focus.

He unleashed an onslaught like a beast born only to kill me and my father. Aww!

“·······I saw a stab wound. There was a lot of bleeding and a dagger was on the floor.”

Elissa did her best to make a firm voice.

When resting a sentence, he bit the inside of his mouth to hold his breath.

“under······.”

“Isn’t that what your father did? If not, why did you go through the maze?”

That was the intuition of the Crown Princess. A bloody cutlery and a dying brother.

Seeing the prince go crazy, she gained a realization that was close to certainty.

My father came all the way here to kill that child. It was all my fault.

Elisha frantically swung the spear.

-Kugugugung…! Kwagga River!

‘aaah! Alas!’

He was unable to return him to the royal castle. The one who couldn’t cut him off earlier.

No, it was older than that. From the age of nine, when I was vaguely aware of my father’s abuse…

‘Lord God-‘

‘Captain! Take your father out! right now!’

– Quarre!

It’s because I haven’t done anything since then.

It was my original sin for not giving up on my affection for my father and the memories I had with him.

My mother was a person who was tolerant of my mistakes.

He has always been a kind and ideal king.

The problem was that she wasn’t idle enough to discover my mistake.

However, I couldn’t help but ask the person leading the country to look after me.

After my mother’s madness progressed, it was difficult to have more private time.

Her many vacancies were always filled by her father. So I couldn’t throw it away.

Little Elissa wanted warmth. I loved him for kissing me on the cheek and giving me compliments.

The mind soon became inertia.

22 years passed like that. They were all lame excuses.

“… the Crown Princess’s speculation is not true.”

This was simply my karma, which was extremely incompetent and terribly stupid.

It was the words of mine who took a selfish, one-liner tightrope while knowing my brother’s pain.

A fate that neither of them can protect and lose.

Each of them was precious, but in the end, the family became a murderer and a victim.

“The thing in the maze is……. It was only because I was worried. Didn’t you ask the Crown Princess to take her with you that day?”

“·················ogue.”

“I remembered asking if I could meet you while I was unable to sleep because my daughter’s face was trembling.”

“·················ogue.”

“I clearly remembered the words I told you not to leave the room, but… I am the father.”

Guk-seo smiled weakly and said.

With one limb amputated, and a long scar around his eye, he only seemed to be conscious this morning, looking very feeble.

But Elisha did not respond. The man continued his statement.

“After borrowing the servant’s clothes, I put on my old robes and hid in the second waiting room. It hurts my heart to break up like that… I walked to see a precious face.”

“Are you saying that the Pope’s soldiers handed him over to him?”

“That part…. I don’t remember well. I’m sorry.”

Werner smiled bitterly. Elissa felt strangely anxious.

He didn’t usually react like this.

My father was a person who prepared an answer to any question in advance and made an excuse.

Looking back, it was always like that, even if I was blindfolded.

So it was strange to be willing to say something unfavorable to him. Don’t you remember?

“How far did you go? oh······. After going through the labyrinth and entering the shrine, there was the child. Jesse.”

It felt like everyone was holding their breath. Guk-seo slowly blinked her eyes.

“But for some reason—my son didn’t recognize me. He had a dagger in his hand, and his body was covered in blood. It was horrendous… It seemed that he had not completely escaped the test of the Guardian Spirit.”

“Oh My God.”

“I heard that the guardian spirit is a monster that eats people.”

“Didn’t you say you looked into the bowl? Unless not everyone passes the exam…”

The archbishops around them murmured ominously.

Elisha shut her mouth and raised one hand. In an instant, the intestines became quiet.

“Does that mean that the guardian spirit attacked my brother?”

“I do not know. But then, I had no choice but to think so. I was worried that my daughter might be harmed by the guardian spirit… Ouch!”

Werner suddenly bowed his head.

He seemed to feel phantom pains in his severed shoulders and thighs.

Nobok hurriedly took a painkiller from his inner pocket and raised it. Another servant offered water.

As soon as he swallowed the medicine, his pale face gradually regained stability.

The crowd was very nervous and waited for the next sentence.

“Jesse… My son stabbed me. I put a dagger here…”

He covered his stomach with a fading voice. The archbishops were greatly shocked and covered their mouths.

Elissa thought only to herself. I also confirmed the stab wounds on my father’s abdomen.

I also knew that the sword that was rolling on the floor was Lister style.

But that is a lie.

“It wasn’t because I recognized my father. Mistaking it for being still in a maze… He was probably swinging his sword without knowing who his opponent was.”

“·················ogue.”

“He is a good-hearted and good-natured child. I couldn’t have known that. Immediately after the attack on Hana, the prince also lost consciousness…”

‘That’s it.’ Guk-seo ended her speech with a sad expression on her face.

In short, he saw the scene and lost his limbs to the Prince who ‘misunderstood’ him.

A beautiful face has a scar that cannot be repaired even with healing power.

He suffered from mental wounds and phantom pain until he died, and as a result, large and small battles began to take place in the border area.

Already, many soldiers were more seriously injured than Werner and lost their lives.

Elissa trembled and looked down at the archbishops.

The older man, who met his eyes, bowed his head in amazement.

“Test your words.”

“Yes. Yes, my lord.”

The old man calmly unfolded the sanctuary. ‘Paaah…!’ Berner’s eyes widened.

But the divine flow could not be stopped. The archbishop’s oracle rang out.

[O merciful Lord. Please forgive me for this man’s lies.]

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

And nothing happened. The golden circle rotated silently.

Elissa slowly opened her mouth. My father’s words were ‘truth’. It was impossible.

She immediately pointed to the next priest.

“You try it.”

“I take orders.”

‘Paaah!’ The second sanctuary lit up the interior of the barracks.

The result was the same. Elisha looked at his father with a shocked expression.

He gave a sad gaze, but did not show any special reaction. The Crown Princess gave orders.

Third, fourth, fifth…. Finally, the twelfth archbishop confessed the sins of Guk-seo.

The Lord did not give any answers.

There were no lies in his father’s words.

“haha······.”

Elissa looked at the crowd with trembling eyes.

Then it was certain that his father’s mind had been manipulated.

It was self-evident that a very powerful priest at the level of an Archbishop or higher had powerfully brainwashed his beliefs into truth.

It must have been his father’s secret name.

Six hours have passed since he woke up, and anyone who has entered the barracks in the meantime…

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

Startle. The Crown Princess realized that everyone’s eyes were on me.

What I had been through all my life suddenly felt creepy and unpleasant.

She gripped the spear on her right.

The Archbishops gathered here had one thing in common.

It is said that Janin personally selected only those who were not far from the border region and the parish, and had no special relationship with his father.

But if your father bought them all, what does that mean?

– Dumpling!

·······If you can’t easily trust even a local priest who has not stepped into the power.

So, who should you trust?

“majesty.”

“majesty?”

“majesty!”

Elissa strode out of the barracks quickly.

Embarrassed priests called her, but no sound came to mind.

It was an irresponsible act. I knew I shouldn’t be acting like a child here.

But ‘it was scary.’

Such weak thoughts were coloring the crown princess’s head black.

She bit her tongue and swallowed a sigh. Now I was afraid of myself, thinking that I was afraid.

I had to tell the truth, and I had a younger brother to protect. To do that, you had to be strong.

But to this place-

“Huh, ugh.”

For the first time, he was afraid of his father, who was stretching his magical beasts to the border area.

Even when he was like that, he was terrified and had goosebumps with poison in his chest.

It was a tragic reality that Jesse’s body was taken away and that even a funeral could not be held.

The fact that I had to fight with those I couldn’t turn my back on was disappointing.

But I couldn’t stop my father.

Even at this moment, when the Empire has declared war, and the Emperor is advancing.

“Janin! Is there Janine?”

The Crown Princess beat all the soldiers and ran into her barracks.

Surprised, the servant ran to her. At the same time, tears fell like rain.

Elisha called out her brother’s name and cried.
