Egret

As he lost what he was about to say and opened his eyes, the boy introduced himself with an awkward smile.

“Oh, my God, I'm late for greetings. My name is Igret. I found out that he had fallen as he was passing by. ”

“... Me, me, I'm William Gott. ”

It was the face of a noble, and it didn't take care of anything at all, but the idea that there was no use in the presence of that being caught his brain. He looked at Igrett with a feeling of gazing at the rope coming down from the sky.

“Well, they are. Are you, or are you a hump spiritist? ”

“Yes, these are my friends. ”

In the meantime, Igrett floated around the place with few people.

Even if it wasn't, there were few people who knew about spirits. When something happened to the town, it was also because the spirits tried not to make tea, such as hiding their wings.

He did not abuse the power of the Spirit, nor was it worth it.

So at this point, whether willingly or unwillingly, it was before Igrett was named the spiritual master, and he himself had no idea of the weight of his power.

Seeing Igrett answering regularly, William approached him with an urgent expression.

“Do me a favor! No, please. Help!”

William even bowed his head toward the common man, Igrett.

I already had nothing to do with rank change. He was the identity of the fugitive. It is sinners who are worse than ordinary people. Although he did not commit a real sin, William was legally in a position where he had nothing to say even if his throat was cut off immediately.

“My parents and sister..... He was taken away with an unfair accusation. I mean, please help me. Yes, sir? ”

A spiritual magician was one of the most rare and powerful of all abilities.

In the middle of winter, I bought the awe of man, the power to bring rain clouds to dry skies.

William knew that a magician with all four attributes would be able to solve all misfortunes easily.

“Save me, my family. I ask you to do this. One more time despite your life and your worries.. Yeah? Hmph. ”

William pleaded with tears. Embarrassed by this, Igrett looks back at Uni.

Uni, who received the look, shook his head excitedly.

“I'm sorry, they're already dead. ”

“What...? Imirano, how is it already..? ”

Late in the day, William, who had a crazy idea, looked up at the rising sky. The sun was spreading like a fiddle over the cold dawn sky.

I didn't have to listen to the hindsight. William was as ferocious as a scream.

The man who lost everything in his life cried for a while.

Igrett's efforts, which saved his life, made him look like a mummy in half a day. With his eyes turned off as if he was going to hide, William shed tears like an pustule melting in the sun.

Igret, who could not open his seat all the time crying and was not comforted by it, sat and watched and finally stood up.

“... I'll be on my way again. ”

“ ……. ”

“Here are herbs to heal the wounds and frozen fruits that can be eaten for a few days. ”

“ ……. ”

William didn't go out completely.

However, I couldn't keep looking after men like this. His life was his, so it wasn't something that Greg could do instead.

This was the moment he took a small sigh and turned around.

“…… please. ”

“? ”

“Help me, Spirit Master. ”

William raises his arm like a corpse and holds his collar.

“I will punish those wicked men who have harmed my family. Give me a chance to avenge myself. ”

“No, I'm not. ”

“He's a demon. Who frightened my innocent sister... and framed her to kill everyone. A demon wearing a human hat! ”

William pointed to the spirits with an evil face.

“If it's that power you have, it's possible, right? Yes?”

“… they are my friends. ”

“I've heard that spiritists move like a clan if they want to. Please, just give me that power once. At least let me close my eyes comfortably. Please help me wash even the filthy creaking..... ”

Tears poured back into the larynx, which I thought was dry.

Igrett, who didn't know he was going to ask for revenge, glanced at him and William fell on his knees before him furiously.

“Hey! Don't do this. ”

“I hope so. I will serve you as a servant for the rest of your life. No, I will pay you back without forgetting the grace even if I die. So please.”

Igrett slowly faces William on his feet and knees.

“Those who have been avenged will not return alive, William. ”

“It doesn't matter.”

“All you're trying to do is create another demon. ”

“If only I could pull out his heart even as a demon...! ”

William shouted with a bloody heart.

“I can't do anything. ”

“ ……. ”

Faced with the terrible grudge of despair, Igrett stood up slowly in silence for some time.

“I'm sorry.”

William looks up at him with a blunt expression.

“I can't do that. ”

“Why, why……. ”

“I know your situation, but I don't deserve to judge anyone. ”

“You have the power to do that! ”

“And I can't even make my friends demons. ”

He's just a long way away, so he gives his gaze to the four spirits who were watching the situation.

For Igrette, the spirits were family and friends. I couldn't ask such a precious being to do that.

William didn't give up, but he fell down and begged again.

“No one can help me unless you. Yes? Didn't the Spirit save my life! ”

Igrett shakes his head. Due to his determined refusal, William grabbed it and pulled out the dagger from the belt.

“If you'd just gone, the state would have died. I'd rather die like this than be avenged. ”

I paused at the words, but it wasn't Igrett who was going to be threatened. He turned around and took a step back.

“...... If you're going to do this, don't spare me! ”

Wook.

Anger and resentment are mixed, not words, but sharp thorns are flying in and out. Igrett pauses and listens to his voice.

“You should have just let him die. If you're going to throw me into this pain and pretend you don't know, why don't you join my family in the eye? Am I the only one left alive in this hell? Why!? Why ―! ”

“ ……. ”

“You're the evil one. A hypocrite like you who turns his back without seeing the parasitic evil with his power! ”

Igrett slowly looks back. He who saved his life in good faith was cursing him with tears of blood.

“I want you to suffer the same pain as me. I will curse you. You lost your family and all your friends! One day you will die helplessly with tears of blood like me!! ”

Fluffy

Red blood rises to the frozen sky. William, who left the curse, stabbed himself in the throat.

The dead body and red blood on the white snow field adorn the smudged vision.

At the same time, Igrett woke up from his dreams.

"Igret?"

A spirit of green breeze as big as a finger called out to him before his eyes. The sweaty silvery hair slipped and scattered over the fluffy pillow.

I saw the splendid ceiling of the Imperial Palace and felt my hands and feet smaller than in my dreams.

What's the matter? I keep sweating while I sleep. Did you dream something bad?

“… Uni. ”

"Huh?"

I saw Uni sitting in the palm of my hand with worrying eyes, so I realized that this was reality.

Igrett, the present Judas, took a long breath.

― It was a terrible nightmare.

The five days left until the imperial ceremony.

Now we have more steps to celebrate the slopes that are really just around the corner. No one was allowed to enter the Imperial Palace on the day of the instant ceremony, except for the blood of the Imperial family and the special permission granted by the Emperor himself.

So, before the ceremony began, those who wanted to close their eyes would come to the Imperial Palace and meet the First Prince.

With this situation, the imperial palace with its many guests heard quite a different atmosphere than usual. In a crowded atmosphere, Sage stumbled into the room and suffered alone.

‘That's the choice you made.... This is it. ’

Sage curled up in the corner and sighed as he recalled what Judas had said at the diocese.

I cried a lot, and I trembled with fear and betrayal. The tremor subsided over time. But it became as complicated as it would explode in my head.

‘I... what the hell should I do? ’

I learned the cruel aspect of my mother, but that did not make me hate or dislike her. Still most precious to Sage was the Empress, her mother.

No matter how dirty he did, even though he contracted with the Command to hurt others and curse the First Prince with his soul to kill him, Sage was the only ‘mother’ who could not change anything.

It was shocking, but it was not an unacceptable reality.

The problem was elsewhere.

‘If you don't kill my brother, my mother will die..... ’

Leaving something else, the fact of the matter bothered Sage the most. Sage saw Judas as as a living man and as a strong brother to the monarchy.

Rather, he was a victim. There was no reason for him to die.

However, no matter why, Sage had to make a choice as long as the game started, which ended only when Judas and the Empress, one of them, died.

‘This is wrong. If you don't tell me, I'll be the killer who killed you, too. ’

Sage was an upright child. I only heard what the Empress showed me, and the child itself was far from denial. Moreover, even though he was brilliant, he knew he would understand the situation.

‘But if you tell your brother about this and save his life.... ’

Death will be the mother of Shayyahoo.

Either way, Sage was forced to be a murderer. In front of that painful reality, Sage couldn't make up his mind and was stuck in a corner.

The lower people were very worried about the face that was being kissed as the day became different. I put up delicious food, but I didn't eat it, and I let it start as I thought it would.

I have suggested something like this when something trivial happens around here that might be of interest to the Three Kings.

“Your Majesty, there is an outdoor ceremony in the first womb today. ”

“... Did your brother have an outdoor dinner? ”

And what Sage responded to was a luncheon set up for the nobles who came to see King Judas at once.

Outdoor dining takes place in a more open and free atmosphere, unlike indoor dining.

It had the advantage of being able to comfortably come and participate in meals even if they were uninvited.

“I have to be there. ”

Sage wanted to see his face once.

It was in the vague expectation that if you couldn't make a choice right away, seeing your face again might help your determination.

Judas was a wise brother, so I didn't even know how to give him advice to breathe in this dreadful situation.

‘No, not necessarily. I just want to talk to you one more time. ’

Maybe it was the last meal with my brother.

Sage smiled with an eye that didn't fit my age and left the room straight away.

1Sage encountered a familiar face several times as she headed to the Imperial Uterus.

Before Judas was named Crown Prince by the Emperor, all the nobles came to Sage and showed kindness and seemed to be able to get rid of the liver.

Sage, who found them, naturally wanted to say hello.

“…… Huh? ”

The nobles who bowed their heads and expressed their example without coming near turned around.
