052 In the Empire, beasts kill people (3)
“It is only a hypothesis to the last, but… Your Majesty, gods are different from magic tools. Just because you use it once doesn’t mean that its power will disappear forever. Existence itself is the will of the Lord.”
The Marquis spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
In the meantime, I pulled out a painkiller made from crushed herbs from my leather bag.
If the story did not end quickly, even the pain of the patient had to be relieved.
Christel, noticing what I was going to do, quickly made clear water.
Sir Elisabeth respected us and took the well-prepared medicine.
I hope this helps.
“Are you talking about Princess Sarnez?”
“That’s right. The ‘blessing of Changhae’ absorbed into the princess’ body has not disappeared and is showing its powers. Then it will still exist.”
The eyes of the prince and marquis turned to this side, to be more precise, to Kristel.
The main character faced them with a dull face, but I started to sweat inside.
If a sick thing enters the body, is it counted as a sick thing?
then······. I am included too.
“With just one ‘Hwasong of Mars,’ swarms of beasts poured out like this every year in ‘Dungeon’, revealing their aggression. Once every hundred or two hundred years, a guy like ‘Tyrant Jeonryong’ appeared there. Much less now, even Changhae’s blessing is here.”
Besides, I am
I swallowed my dry saliva, trying to fix my gaze on Sir Elizabeth.
The reason why I got a tremendous level of ether, and why Kristel’s mother had to consume the blessing of the Changhae, was probably because the gods in the ‘Temple of the Boundary’ were used for me.
So it’s not that there are three gods in this town, now.
“It’s a little bit better because it’s weak. Thank you, Prince.”
Sir Elizabeth smiled at me.
It looked like he was thinking of giving some consolation to my serious face.
I smiled bitterly.

Of course, I’m worried about Sir Elizabeth, but I thought that the ‘Great Subjugation of Beasts’ was also a big deal.
I was too naive to think that things would be easy with two strong protagonists.

Of course, since they are the main characters, they will not die, and they will win the glory somehow, but it was reasonable for the main character to have the ordeal commensurate with it.
Damn, why didn’t I think of that?
“Has the second advance started?”
“Yes. Most of the beasts are stronger than normal. Beyond the valley, last year’s winning offerings appeared. Fortunately, he succeeded in taking his life.”
“What about casualties?”
“Including Elizabeth, about seventy people were injured. There are no fatalities. The warriors of the Empire are strong, Your Majesty. Don’t worry too much.”
My mind was cleared in an instant.
Because of the magician of Mars, Kristel and I, this year’s great subjugation of demons has become more difficult than ever.
A legendary beast appeared in the first advance, and last year’s champions appeared in the second advance that started while we were killing him.
In this way, it would not be surprising if another winning offering appeared in the final third advance.
The prince’s orange eyes slowly subsided.
“Let’s go.”
He pulled out the sword he was aiming at the marquis. to be brutal.
“Long live His Majesty the Prince. Please win.”
Marquis François Duheme paid a respectful courtesy to him.
I knew for the first time that he was someone who could make such a serious face.
The Marquis rested his hand on Sir Elizabeth’s forehead again.
Now it was really time to descend. Count So finally looked up at the prince.
“Cedric, you want to trust the prince. Then do it.”
“·················ogue.”
me?
Embarrassed, I was about to open my mouth, but the Marquis and Sir Elizabeth’s images shattered brightly.
Particles of light pink like pollen were scattered all over the place and disappeared.

Only me, Demi, Kristel, and the prince were left in the silent valley.
Was that just me?
“It’s a bit disturbing that things are complicated because of me.”
“Nothing will change.”
The prince responded to Kristel’s words.
The main character didn’t seem really disturbed, and the prince didn’t seem to have any regrets about what had already happened.
There was no way the tournament could be cancelled.
If we didn’t stop the beast here anyway, the strong guys would break through the barrier and go down the mountain to attack the lord castle and surrounding cities.
“Then shall we take a break?”
At my words, two pairs of eyes looked at me at the same time. It’s scary again.
“You have to fill your stomach and come up with the next strategy. Resting when you can rest is also an ability.”
– Kururu
Demi cried a little as if in sympathy. Look, this guy is going out too.

“It’s hot.”
Frederic quickly put down his cup of coffee.
The thickly brewed coffee seemed to burn as if it were boiling today.
Seeing her arrogant face, Aurelie Butier tilted her head.
“Why did you drink so quickly?”
“Aren’t you supposed to ask if it’s okay in this case?”
“ha ha ha.”
Aurelie smiled as she rolled her beige eyes.
The two were sitting in the Emperor’s office, doing their own business as usual.
The emperor was reading a report on the commotion in a small town in the south, and the cardinal was belatedly reading the May 1 issue of ＜Biweekly Lister>.
“They did a good job. Then the innkeeper’s daughter was taken to the Yeongjuseong Prison.”
“Yeah, you did what you said.”
The cardinal nodded and drank his coffee slowly.
After hard brainwashing herself that the children would be fine, she was able to keep up with the news without any special concerns.
It was an attitude she had learned from her contractor, the Emperor.
The hand that turned the magazine casually was light.
“I extorted more than 40% of the bounty for ten years, and I spent only 2 million francs for the inn and myself.”
“That’s a bit odd.”
“Yeah, I’ll have to check out the lord. Let the inn search the ground again.”
The emperor narrowed his cherry-colored eyes and said.
Ten years ago, when he and the cardinal turned upside down the village of Lucca, things were very simple.
I wondered if there was any great plan for someone who dared to gamble with fraud in the place where the royal family stayed, and in fact, he didn’t have any particular tail.
But this time it looked a little different.
According to the report, a large amount of cash appeared to have evaporated somewhere.
“Did the lord take a bribe from the woman? But then you might have to scan the whole empire. It is unlikely that there will be one or two similar cases.”
“That’s my job.”
Frederick replied bluntly.
Since he was right, Aurelie smiled like a picture, but didn’t add anything.
I thought it would be better to change the topic.
“Look at this. Sir Sarah Beliard wrote the article quite nicely.”
“Even if that old man was kind, he would.”
“No, the prince’s interview was…. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. Have you ever been like this?”
“You seem to have gotten more capricious as you get older.”
The emperor replied angrily.
The report that Prince Jesse’s exclusive interview was particularly favorable was already known on the day of its publication.
Although he did not read it himself, he said that he did not insult the imperial family or mention any relationship with the new kingdom.
That was enough. She brought the coffee to her lips.
“Damn it, it’s still hot.”
“Drink slowly. I can’t eat hot things.”
The Emperor put the coffee cup back on the desk.
This time the cardinal looked a little worried.
Frederick suddenly spoke up.
“I have a bad feeling.”
“yes?”
“Those guys. Are you holding on to the beasts well?”
“Don’t worry too much, Eve. Are you upset because of a lot of work?”
Somehow, the situation seemed to have been reversed from a week ago.
At that time, he was restless thinking of his children, but now the emperor is leaning in thought of his son and party.
The cardinal laughed aloud and called the chieftain.
“Let’s change it to cold coffee. Then you will feel better.”

“Come on, have a drink.”
“·················ogue.”
Prince Sedric stared at the jerky in my hand. Anyone who sees it will know it’s poisonous.
“It was made in the kitchen of Juliet Palace. When you have a strong stomach, you feel better.”
“If you don’t want to eat, can I eat it? It’s really delicious.”
Kristel, who was standing alone, opened her eyes.
Even after eating a third of the veal jerky that Canael had prepared, he seemed to have an appetite.
It was neither too salty nor too chewy, and the taste was just right in my mouth.
Because even Demi was interested.
“If you don’t mind, ask the princess,”
-widely!
He snatched the jerky from my hand with unseen speed. My fingertips were tingling.
“It’s hard to feed.”
I murmured.
Whether he didn’t hear or pretend he didn’t hear, the prince put jerky in his mouth and chewed it.
When Eunseo was five or six years old, she used to eat food one bite at a time while playing trains or airplanes with a spoon if she did something else at the table, but that was even more fun.
I wonder where a guy like that wants to believe in me.
“Oh, come again! Demiya, take a good look at your sister.”
Christel, who was snoring, exclaimed in a bright voice.
Demi, who was eating a heart-shaped flower in my arms, tilted her head and looked up at her.
Up there, from the mountain forehead, something was running towards us at a ferocious speed.
– Udoo-doo-doo!
– Kueh!
It was a wild boar the size of a truck that emerged through the forest.
To be precise, it is a man-eating beast that looks like a wild boar, and if bitten by it, it is said that even if it survives, it will be subject to a strong curse.
That’s why it was called ‘Cursed Black Pig’.
I’ve heard that you can usually get a pretty high score even if you catch a beast like that.
We’re already the fifth of that guy.
“It’s delicious and it keeps coming out!”
Christine screamed and swung the whip. Come to think of it, Jeju black pork is also a little bit similar.
-squash!
– aaah!
The white spray hit the cursed black pig in a huge fan.
The waves completely obscured the field of vision, and the beast lost its sense of direction and rolled over.
Then there was a real pig slap.
-Cheereek!
-Chei Yi Profit…
Its massive body lost its strength and staggered as soon as it touched the water.
The sight of the skin melting red was disgusting.
The body that was moving with a thump, thump thumped to the floor! And when he collapsed, Kristel made a round drop of water and put it on the beast’s head like a helmet.
-Curuck, gurgling, gurgling…!
“I repeat this, so I have a command.”
she said sarcastically.
The magical beast that came into contact with the holy water power, drowning was also instantaneous.
It was the same repertoire as before.
When the little beasts throw themselves at us, Kristel and the prince take turns getting up and dealing with them.
I sat down with the sanctuary open all the time, gave water and snacks to two people and one, and devised a strategy for each attribute.
However, there was no way to write a strategy.
Everything that appeared before us after the tyrant Jeonryong was like this.
Even if only one person showed up, the arrangement was completed in an instant.
“Demiya, how many points do you have?”
Kristel asked the red panda.
At the end of the valley where the cursed black pig rushed to the entrance, two small apple trees appeared.
The tree on the left had orange berries, and the tree on the right had blue-grey berries.
After all, the color was raised by Demi, so is it delicious?
– Kiy
Demi shook the purple petals she held in her front paws.
Then, on the right apple tree branch, the fruit began to bear quickly.
“Was it three points? Thanks, that’s the best.”
There were three freshly hung apples.
Kristel gracefully teasing her limbs and greeting Demi.
“Finally, you two are tied.”
I said. As a result, there were 11 orange apples and 11 blue-grey apples.
The judges are only one Demi, so it’s a bit subjective, but…
– Awkward!
At the same time, the prince rose from his seat and drew his sword.
I turned my head in surprise.
“Did you just hear it?”
“okay.”
“yes.”
They both seemed to hear what I heard.
Apparently someone is biting an apple…
– Crispy!
An orange apple hanging from the tree disappeared from the air, leaving only the buttocks.
For a moment, I stopped breathing. I didn’t see it wrong.
There was a hazy mountain fog in all directions, but the scenes and results I witnessed were too clear to be an illusion.
Wait, mountain fog?
“Since when······. Prince, where are you going?”
I grabbed the prince’s sleeve as he was about to walk out of the sanctuary.
Demi whined as if it was uncomfortable because I suddenly stood up.
“I’m sorry, Demi. I didn’t do that on purpose…”
“father.”
what······?
I suddenly felt an ominous feeling. your father is dead
I quickly stopped in front of the prince and looked into his face.
“damn.”
The eyes, which were always as clear as if they were burning, were strangely out of focus.
I quickly pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around Demi’s face, covering my mouth and nose with my sleeve.
It wasn’t just a fog.
