The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

25. You and I before we knew it

Elijah did not see Balak and his party off.

I was busy trying to calm my irritable heart by hugging Judas.

Ria sent them off instead.

Making sure no one was watching, Balak sneaked up to Leah and spoke to her.

“Is Elijah doing well?”

Leah raised her eyes, then answered, averting her gaze.

“I am healthier than before. Thanks to that kid next to me.”

“Umm…. How long will she stay like that?”

“… ….”

“A little to Elijah….”

“How is it? Dare I…. That would be too selfish.”

“… ….”

“It’s already too late. It will only hurt Elijah. I’d rather just, stay unaware.”

Leah glanced in the direction of her mansion.

The figure of Elijah, who would be fond of Judas, was drawn.

“Anyway, I’ll be the person you don’t need anymore.”

“But….”

“Are you worried? Do you want to come and be a father? Or are you doing this because it makes you feel comfortable at least pretending to do so?”

“… ….”

“Whoa…. You know it’s late. Neither you nor I deserve it. Besides, even without the Duchess, the foundation will be absorbed by the children as it is and will watch over me and Elijah.”

“… ….”

“I’ll take care of this side. As always, please live with your eyes on bigger things.”

Balak was at last speechless.

The coachman and his party are ready to leave.

As if she never did, Leah greeted her very politely.

Her voice and tone have returned to normal.

Dense enough makeup to look different from Ballack’s memories. Her rigid appearance as her maid of honor matches him well.

“May you rest in peace while you die.”

The top of her head was exposed from bending her back.

The roots of her red hair are black.

Balak pretended not to see and climbed into her carriage.

*

A dark basement.

The wide space is like a cave.

At the center, candles were lit one by one.

Lights that bloom in a regular order.

A dimly lit space.

A unique pattern was drawn based on the candle.

In the center of the pattern drawn with blood, a huge mountain of flesh formed.

They were all human corpses.

In front of him, Angra was sitting.

A person wearing a black robe and conducting a ceremony asks.

“Erase all her memories from the day she found the Child of Revelation to now. Are you sure?”

“Yes. There is no change.”

“Success cannot be guaranteed. If done wrong, she may lose her ego and become an invalid.”

“It doesn’t matter. After all, my role has been delegated to the Pope.”

“Okay. It will hurt a little bit.”

The man in the robe closed his eyes and put his palms together, concentrating.

The pattern made of blood is stained black.

It turned into black flames and engulfed the mountain of corpses.

The mountain of burning corpses turns into dark clouds of smoke.

Angra squeezed her eyes shut as she watched it come crashing down on her.

‘Everything for the moon. In order to prevent the resurrection of evil spirits… !’

Black smoke was sucked into Angra’s body.

“Ahhhhh… !”

Angra gritted her teeth and endured.

It was to the point of bleeding from the mouth.

When the ceremony was finally over, he passed out.

“The amnesia was successfully completed.”

People in the same robes gathered around them who helped with the ceremony.

“I won’t become a disabled person, but I don’t know how to live. He’s a fanatic, so he’ll do anything.”

The child of revelation that appears in many Bibles.

The wizards laughed at Angra’s faith.

Anyway, the ruler of this world has been decided.

The savior of the future, mentioned in the prophetic book.

“Someone throw it near the wire.”

“I will do it.”

“We will deliver the facts to His Majesty, and finish the plan.”

He laughed bitterly.

He sees the words of a poor fanatic who doesn’t even know he has become a victim.

“Everything for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor.”

*

The Pope of the Moonshin Church.

Nadab.

He faced the man in front of him and smiled kindly.

The tallest person on this continent.

And in a few years, he will become a noble incarnation that will devour the world.

The Pope of the Sun Bridge and the Emperor of the Helios Empire.

It was John.

John spoke first.

“I heard you were given a role.”

“Yes. Your majesty. That’s right. From now on, I will replace Bishop Angra.”

“Erase the memory. You are very thorough.”

“It is a work that must be done for the sake of the Demon World and all mankind beyond this continent of Levant. There should be no scratches.”

John just laughed.

I failed from the first button, Elijah, but I didn’t bother to point it out.

To achieve the goal, the help of the Wolsin Church is indispensable.

Between seeing for a long time.

There was no reason to go wrong in advance.

Anyway, it’s enough to throw it away at the end.

From noble mtl dot com

“For a new era.”

John reached out.

Nadab knelt before him and kissed the back of his hand.

“To recreate the glory, I will gladly dedicate my body. Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Okay, now slowly.”

John nodded his head in satisfaction, and spoke softly.

“The time has come to prepare for the resurrection of the evil spirits.”

Before that, you have to clean up what needs to be cleaned up.

“There can never be two suns in the sky.”

A ritual prepared for a long time.

The first step.

A plan called a solar eclipse.

“Should I start killing Bevel?”

*

On the way back after meeting Elijah.

Balak thought quietly.

Narsisi’s case will be put to trial.

I couldn’t intervene privately.

I didn’t want to come at this time because it was close to Maria’s death date, but I couldn’t bear it because of my children’s annoyance.

Powerlessness. Weakness.

I was pathetic to myself for not being able to take care of a family.

That’s why, conversely, I think of bigger things and stick to them.

The great thing he was trying to accomplish.

I reached out to the Moonsin Church for him.

Angra caught it.

The two clearly had a cooperative relationship.

At some point, things went wrong, and after Angra’s pilgrimage, contact was almost lost.

Tok, talk, talk.

A possibility that I came up with while tapping my forearms with my arms crossed.

‘… Is it a betrayal?’

There is nothing else.

It’s hard to believe.

But, why the Moonshinkyo?

The reason why.

The reason why it works.

There is only one number of cases where both are satisfied.

After finishing the calculation, he laughed helplessly.

“Your Majesty the Emperor. He used his hand first….”

He said he was fast.

Or maybe the emperor was faster.

This is a problem that is now unknown.

‘Angra’s pilgrimage has been getting longer, and the Pope has been informed that the role has been taken over. But, well.’

Balak now completely distrusts them.

A job that has been prepared for a long time.

Destroy the Empire.

You cannot achieve it alone.

I joined hands with the Moonsin Church for that, but they joined hands with the Empire behind their backs.

The reason is obvious.

To remove the bevel.

“Then I just want to show you.”

What happens when you touch a bevel.

In the midst of this, a fight broke out inside, which gave Balak a headache.

A pain that radiates from a corner of the heart.

Sore fingers.

Elijah.

I swore that if I could achieve this great feat, all of my past grazing would be rewarded….’

It was believed that if the empire was gone and Bebel stood tall alone, internal family strife would be lessened.

Something like restraint and contempt for Elijah, naturally.

In that case, I thought that Elijah’s past would be compensated for a little bit.

For that future.

For the sake of the peace of the family and the public interest, which is the goal of the greatest number of people, I have unknowingly neglected such an environment a little.

I turned away from my weak self-loathing, saying it was inevitable.

But now it’s too late.

Elijah will not stop, and the Empire will trample Bevel.

In this situation, there was only one thing to do.

‘I must face it alone….’

In an instant, Lia’s words flashed through her mind.

Do you want to be a father now?

A bitter smile came out.

It was an intellectual that penetrated her own life.

*

“Umm, umm~”

Yuri Dicke sits in front of her desk and thinks.

A commission from Elijah.

Recognize alcohol related to memory.

And Judas’ request.

A follow-up on her own family.

The destinations of the two skillfully overlap.

Memory-interfering magic is classified as forbidden alcohol.

It is managed by sealing it together with fragments of stars that fell in the Catacombs, an underground tomb jointly owned by the Magic Tower and the Imperial Family.

Even those involved cannot easily approach.

Then, which direction should I look for?

Dark magic.

A method of mimicking conventional magic by sacrificing life.

Warlocks might have followed the magic of memory and passed it on among themselves.

And the family of Judas.

According to Judas, she said that she moved from village to village near the front line in the past.

Warlocks stay near the Pandemonium, close to the front lines.

Humans are the most useful sacrifices for warlocks.

That’s why it’s impossible for them to live among humans.

You can’t even hide it.

Covetous for power, they inevitably capture people and use them as sacrifices.

‘Dark magic and tracing the birthplace of Judah. The lines of movement between the two strangely overlap. It points to the end of the human realm, about the demon realm. Maybe we can find out together.’

I wish I had another clue.

First of all, I turned my gaze to the outside of the continent.

‘I don’t know why Young Ae is looking for magic related to memories. I hope it goes well somehow.’

It will take a long time. Clearly.

Even so, Eurydice decided to stake her future on Elijah.

He also helps Judas.

*

A cage.

The shining moonlight.

Declining leaves.

Expanded space.

Girl.

Fireflies.

Dancing.

A flower blooming in the middle.

Red flower.

In the vast void.

Only light.

My color.

Anemones.

*

What is the flower language of anemone?

*

Sparks fly where swords meet.

The unsharp iron sword was blunt.

It was as heavy as a thick sword.

The weight was also part of the training.

Kang! Visor!

A flash of light bursting with sparks.

For a short moment, the space becomes bright.

The place where the light disappeared was dark.

Deep darkness that makes it difficult for ordinary people to discern objects.

However, the two men facing swords could see each other clearly.

Movement of hands, shoulders, feet and pelvis.

The trajectory of the sword born from it.

It shines when it crosses and crosses.

Kang!

The moment the opposing swords fell apart, one of them aimed for a gap and charged.

A bold step.

The tip of a sword stabbed in half a beat quickly.

The other side also reacts.

The dilated golden pupils follow the sharp lines.

Raises the sword vertically and spills it.

Kiggy Geek-!

Scratching noise.

I push forward while maintaining my body that seems to be sucked in by the force.

Slash opponents who approach.

But the sword can’t reach it.

It barely passes by.

Conversely, the opponent’s sword strikes the leg.

My body leans for a moment.

The view is turned upside down.

Kung-!

I fell down.

The iron touches the neck.

The sword that came into contact with the heated body is cold.

The one who didn’t fall, the winner.

Gawain said in a breathy voice.

“… You’ve grown a lot. I can’t even look at you properly now.”

Put your hand out.

The fallen young man grabbed and stood up.

Gawain lit up the lights and finished speaking.

“Magic power can now be handled completely freely. It has grown beyond recognition in size.”

The young man smiled helplessly and admitted.

“It’s still a long way…. Compared to the past, it has grown noticeably.”

Gawain saw the young man.

When I first saw him, he was small enough to be around the pit of the stomach.

Before he knew it, his eye level became the same.

Its rock-hard body and large appearance were suitable for a knight’s body.

You grow faster than others.

Maybe because I ate that much.

The lines of her youthful appearance, which used to smell like milk, have become thicker.

I heard that when you go out on a downtown street with a wild atmosphere, you get a lot of attention from young women passing by.

Gawain is not interested in aesthetic evaluation of a man’s appearance.

But it might not be too bad for his nephew’s son-in-law.

It’s only hopeful, but realistically it will be impossible.

That’s very likely.

The young man in front of me….

My thoughts were broken by the young man’s voice.

A voice that resonates as low as it has grown.

“I want to learn swordsmanship soon…. There is no reaction from you.”

“There is no hurry. Because it’s already fast enough. In particular, using mana externally is a double-edged sword. If you make a mistake, you will hurt the user.”

“I will keep this in mind.”

Gawain laid down her iron sword.

It was so heavy that I could hear a thud when I fell to the floor.

Suddenly, Anna, the maid in the corner, approached and handed the young man a towel.

She withdrew from assisting her young man.

Because her owner had previously ordered a restraining order.

I shouldn’t have come here today.

But Anna pretended not to notice and stopped by to take a look.

The young man smiled benevolently.

“It’s been a while. Thank you.”

Anna lowered her head lightly and then she backed away.

Since she was a little girl, she has followed him around.

When she looked up at the boy she had been looking down at, her feelings were complicated.

The appearance of having grown up was enough to keep the maids of this mansion from sleeping at night.

The evaluation of him is quite ambivalent.

While wanting to be on a leash, the desire to be on a leash coexisted.

However, it is as absurd as dreaming of a hero or a prince in a fairy tale.

It was impossible to dare to approach the young man within the reach of the owner who owned the young man.

The person concerned never dreamed that his owner would do such a thing.

Gawain said to the young man who was wiping his sweat.

“The final test is near.”

“Yes…. I know.”

“And Lady Elijah’s coming-of-age ceremony.”

“… ….”

“I always say, but at any moment, you must not hesitate.”

“I will keep this in mind.”

“Today’s training ends here. You worked hard, Judas.”

A young man, Judas, who turned 18 this year, smiled lightly.

It was a smile full of complicated worries.

“Yes. Thank you.”

Five years have passed.
