26 – Anna Margret – 2

It was a filthy prison.

The floor was cold and damp.

The nasty stench did not seem to disappear and continued to linger.

It was a space where you could vividly feel the squeaking sounds of mice and the movements of unpleasant insects crawling on the floor.

“… Ah.”

She lies spread out on her bare floor without a pile of straw.

Anna Margret let out a small, inaudible moan.

Anna had numerous scars all over her body, and her arms and legs were as dry as dry branches.

“… Ah.”

The sound of breathing so small that it is difficult to even call it a moan.

Even that seemed too much for Anna now that her torture was over.

“Reina Rogelia.”

But she quietly blurted out the name of a girl to whom she gave her all.

As if it was a pride that wouldn’t break no matter what.

“My lady.”

She looks like she’s about to collapse forever.

But the look in Anna Margret’s eyes as she called her name was as vivid as before.

Innumerable cracks were drawn on the walls of the prison.

All of them were markers for counting the date.

“Has it already been over three years?”

Anna left the Duchess of Roselia on August 28, 824 of the Imperial Era.

And if these signs are accurate, it was now March 3, 828 in the Imperial calendar.

“You must have entered Arcana today.”

Anna leaned her back against the wall, she muttered to herself and smiled.

It was a habit she developed after about a year in prison.

When she first betrayed her organization.

Anna borrowed her troops and raided her stronghold in order to eliminate any possible threat to her, but their traces were already completely cut off.

But they knew that Anna had settled in the Duchess of Roselia.

Assassins started coming every day.

One day, one strong person.

Another day, several jobbers came to visit.

There was no problem at all.

Because it was enough for Anna to drive it out by herself.

However, the situation began to change rapidly.

The starting point is the death of an Avatar informant hiding in Heros’ market.

It was done by Ike, Reina’s childhood friend.

There were many things I wanted to ask.

How much do you know about the organization called Avatar?

How did she know the informant of Avatar who was hiding in Heros, which she didn’t even know.

She had many questions, but she decided that she was on Reina’s side.

Anna turned the scene into her own track.

Then, opponents of a different level than before began to come.

It wasn’t to the point of being too heavy, but they were opponents who couldn’t be easily caught off guard.

In the end, Anna left the Duchess of Rogelia out of fear of an unexpected disaster.

Upon her return to Avatara, Anna was promptly imprisoned. She

She and she had to go through countless tortures.

I wonder if Avatar’s information was passed on to the Duke of Rogelia by any chance.

If so, how much information do you have about the Duchess of Roselia?

In order to hear her answer, they continued cruel torture beyond words.

“I can’t say anything no matter what.”

In the first place, Anna only acted as Avatar’s puppet, and she knew little about the organization.

Until now, they were simply thought of as a group of assassins.

There was no information to talk about in the first place, and more than anything else, there was no way Anna would pass on information that could harm Reina.

Just like that, more than three years have already passed.

I was tortured every day in a harsh environment where meals were provided once every three days.

Anna was still in prison today.

“Lady Reina….”

Calling her name.

Anna is probably in Reinen.

I was half convinced.

Still, the reason it’s in the realm of speculation is because Anna doesn’t appear in the original work.

However, once the situation was sorted out, it was almost certain that she was in Reinen.

In the original story, the incident takes place in the middle of the first semester next year.

The story begins with a sudden scream resounding in Arcana in the middle of the night and Sofia coming to her senses.

Sophia heard so many screams from all sides that she couldn’t help either way, so she ran towards the nearest room.

Opening her door, Sophia was faced with a terrifying sight of blood splattering.

Someone lying on the bed, with a knife lodged in his chest, was letting out a terrible scream.

Sophia hurriedly approached and used her healing magic, but she had no effect on him as she was already on the verge of ending her life.

Closing his eyes after losing his life, Sophia leaves her room.

After that, Sophia joins forces with the Crown Prince, Helen, and her professors to defeat all the assassins.

‘Should we end like this, just because one traitor is gone? Then I should have brought him no matter what.’

And these were the last words of the assassins’ boss in the original story.

The traitor he was talking about probably won’t work.

That is. If she returned to Avatar, it was concluded that she was in Reinen, the stronghold of the Assassins.

“Why did Anna have to be an avatar?”

Originally, I shouldn’t have acted first in this case.

This episode was a pretty important turning point in the original story.

It was the story of the first death, and it was the moment when the organization called Avatar became known.

So what I originally thought was a way to get rid of the dead.

I couldn’t imagine how twisted the future would be if this case were to disappear completely.

But even though she knew that if Anna were in Reinen, she could be saved, she couldn’t stand still.

Because Anna is no different from Raina’s family.

So let’s think positively.

If this episode disappears completely, it’s worth moving.

The shaking of Reina’s solid foundation in Arcana will disappear.

In this case, Reina does not appear at all.

She was away from Arcana because Duke Rickard’s condition had deteriorated greatly.

It was definitely a reason everyone should admit.

But there were too many victims in the incident.

42 Deaths. 20 Wounded. A total of 62 casualties.

All but two of them were students.

A few days after the incident. A rumor started to circulate in Arcana.

There was no problem with Duke Rickard, and it was rumored that Rayna knew about her ambush in advance and fled.

Reina says she’s talking nonsense and she just laughs. She didn’t even give an explanation.

On the contrary, he showed contempt for those who spread rumors, saying that such things were to downplay the deaths of the victims.

However, the atmosphere surrounding her Reina has not changed much.

At least it was true that she was the only student who wasn’t in Arcana that day, so quite a few students began to have such doubts.

In the end, these were all heart attacks, so they didn’t spread to other incidents.

It was definitely one of the incidents that left a big scar on Reina Rogelia.

Enough to consider that she contributed to her ending.

“But you won’t get any help.”

I barely got permission to go out on the weekend.

If you asked for something more from Dean Ender, even this could be taken away.

I felt pressured by the fact that I had to solve everything by myself, but maybe I could do it now.

After all, they are mere assassins.

“Ike. I’ve heard rumors. Are you going out this weekend?”

Friday evening, one day left before going out.

Suddenly, the prince came to her dormitory room with an expensive-looking snack in her right hand.

Is that already a rumor going around?

From someone’s point of view, it would be a huge exception, so it was understandable.

“Yes. Fortunately, Dean Ender gave permission.”

“Really?”

I’m sure the crown prince knew that it was strange, but she didn’t say anything special.

“Miss Reina also asked. Do you know anything about your outing?”

“Is that so?”

Of course, Reina asked me directly, but she couldn’t answer, of course.

Did she think that if she was the crown prince, she would know?

“Yes. Because she knows we are best friends.”

I think it’s more like an acquaintance.

But without even mentioning that fact, I served black tea to the prince.

“… After all, I don’t think you have any talent for black tea, Ike.”

The prince said that and set the teacup down to the right side.

It seemed that he had no intention of drinking at all.

“So? For what reason are you going out on the weekend?”

“Should I tell you? I think it’s private life.”

“I would really like it if I was allowed to go out to Arcana just for my private life.”

The prince shrugged her shoulders and sneered at her.

She obviously said in her speech at the entrance ceremony that she would give up her position, so wouldn’t it be okay to hit her once?

Putting those blasphemous thoughts aside, I quietly put the cookie he brought into my mouth.

“Maybe if it’s really important to your private life.”

“To think that a really important personal life happened just two days after entering Arcana, right after you asked me about Miss Reina’s situation. What a colossal coincidence.”

“That’s right.”

We shared a quiet war of nerves and slowly enjoyed a short refreshment time.

“It must be a story about Miss Reina, right?”

“Okay.”

“I don’t think Dean Ender will give you permission to go out for normal business.”

“If you ask me what he thinks, I have nothing to say.”

As I received permission to go out for the weekend, I made an appointment with Dean Ender.

Do not tell anyone the reason for permission.

Of course, I wasn’t going to open my mouth even if I didn’t have an appointment.

“You know what, Ike? I have pretty good intuition.”

Of course I knew.

His intuition was often used in the original story as well.

“And now my gut is shouting that you are doing something very dangerous.”

“Intuition is a simple feeling after all, so I don’t think anything good can happen if you trust it.”

“Why don’t you calmly explain the situation to Dean Ender and get help?”

“There is no need to do that for a simple outing.”

It was difficult for the story to grow further here.

It’s tiring to be questioned by one Dean of Ender, but if you draw more attention, it will hinder your actions later.

From now on, the Crown Prince and Sophia will gradually stand in the center of people in Arcana.

My job was to help them behind the scenes and clean up the problems that would cause Reina to get into trouble, not go up on stage.

If I go on stage, I’ll almost 100% be killed by him.

No matter how much it was, I didn’t want to risk my life.

“I pray to the god Eos that you will come back safely from your outing.”

After the prince left the room and I lay down on the bed, I began to think about how to move tomorrow.

I didn’t have to worry about where they were hiding.

3 Years ago. Just as I found the informant in Heros’ market, I already knew the place for sure.

The places where members of Avatar are hiding were described very carefully in the original work.

It contained the whole body of the artist to the extent that I can roughly remember it even after a long time has passed.

The number of assassins is about 80.

I didn’t think I would lose in a head-on fight, but I wanted to avoid a fight as much as possible.

But with such a large number, it’s probably hard to completely avoid armed conflict.

I felt like I had to go for a guerrilla warfare where I hit and run as much as possible to see the situation.

“Ha ha.”

Even after roughly deciding how to move tomorrow, sleep did not come easily.

The real battle, which I hadn’t experienced in a long time, constantly gave me tension.

I suddenly looked out the window and felt that the starlight was dimmer than usual.

For some reason, I felt that tomorrow would be longer than usual.
