Chapter 033. Relatives (2)

“… road?”

I asked in bewilderment at Müller’s eyes suddenly changed to those of an ardent follower.

“yes.”

Müller answered without hesitation.

From that look, I could tell he wasn’t acting.

It really became a household.

“Are there any changes in your body?”

“What has changed… .”

Müller pondered for a moment and replied that he did not know.

“Something seems to have changed, but I don’t know specifically.”

“Are you saying that time has passed?”

As expected, the change was detailed as the day passed.

For now, Ymir’s demonic energy in Müller’s body has completely disappeared.

Thanks to that, the black hair was also restored to its original color.

So far, this has been somewhat expected.

“Your senses became sensitive at night?”

“yes.”

It seemed that I had inherited some of my, more precisely, my blood relative’s abilities.

Of course, he couldn’t handle abilities like handling blood or pulling out lunar eclipses like me.

But even this was good news for Müller, who would be more active at night.

“What can I do?”

“… … .”

Most unexpected, of course, was Müller’s changed attitude.

He became very compliant, as if he had completely changed.

Even Noah looked at me in embarrassment at times, so it was understandable.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being obedient, but no matter how much I could adapt to that blind attitude, there were times when I got goosebumps from time to time.

I muttered in horror.

“… The rulers deserved to be afraid.”

Because what he’s showing now seems like genuinely heartfelt loyalty.

In some ways, it’s more than Mine.

It’s almost brainwashing.

‘I’ll have to write carefully.’

In the case of Müller, he was a criminal who was sentenced to serve as an executive officer anyway, and since he escaped from prison, he was certain to be sentenced to death, so he was able to make him a member of his family through an experiment without any burden.

However, not all of the people he will make into his family in the future will be like Müller.

Before he could control this coercive force, it seemed that he needed to be careful about making a follower.

“Are you Lord?”

“I don’t have anything to do right now, so I’ll call you later if I need it.”

Müller decided to use it later as an informant or call it in when he needed something.

“For now, try hiding.”

“yes.”

Since he couldn’t live with a wanted man in a dormitory, Müller was immediately let go.

– How to call it.

“are you okay. I have a way.”

As a result of the experiment, it was possible to send thoughts to my followers in a one-way way, so it doesn’t matter if I’m in a place I don’t know.

“Instead of committing a crime.”

Instead, he gave only a brief warning before sending it.

After the disposition of Müller was over, I was able to turn my nerves to the horn.

A flute that exudes an aura of resentment that makes you frown just by looking at it.

“You called the monster with this.”

Something similar to a lunar eclipse.

Intuitively, I knew that the horn was a life-sucking monster.

“Why did you intend to use it once and throw it away?”

It doesn’t seem that easy to use.

However, considering my unique high vitality, I might be able to use it.

“hmm.”

For now, I decided to keep it.

The day after the holiday was over, the academy was in a mess.

Mondays are usually like this, but today it was especially severe.

“I’ll take a 10-minute break.”

The moment the professor in charge of the economics class said that and left the classroom, Uriel, who was sitting next to her, spoke as if she had been waiting.

“Roan. Have you heard the news?”

I could roughly guess what he was talking about, but for now, I pretended not to know and shook my head.

She tapped the desk with her index finger and continued.

“It is said that demons were found in the Goul Mountains. Even with 100 dead.”

“… okay?”

“It’s not even that far from where we did our survival assessment.”

She frowned and shook her head, as if she were imagining something ominous.

“Oh.”

Then he glanced around and spoke in a low voice.

“And this is what I heard through the family, and there were also rumors that there was a thief in the palace.”

“To the palace?”

“Didn’t the phantom thief escape? It’s probably his fault.”

Strongly loyal to the royal family, she let out a deep sigh and regretted why such atrocious things happened one after another on the birthday of the princess.

I gave a moderately cheesy voice and thought of something else in my mind.

‘I’m glad.’

She couldn’t connect Müller’s relationship with the dead demons.

In the first place, there was no way to know that Müller had awakened as a demon, so it was only natural if it was natural.

“Where did he go?”

“Didn’t they run away to the empire?”

Even Yuriel, who is usually not interested in rumors like this, is a big deal.

Therefore, it seemed that it would be possible to use Müller after it had calmed down to some extent.

‘Anyway, I don’t need anything right now, so there’s no need to be impatient.’

At this point when I was tied up in the academy, most of the magic tools were useless, so I thought I could collect them slowly.

Just as I was organizing my thoughts, the professor returned.

“Let’s start class.”

* * *

As soon as the boring class was over, I stretched.

“Ahhh… .”

I was sitting and waiting for a while, not wanting to get caught in the middle of the cadets rushing out of the classroom. Yuriel’s figure came into view.

Just like the first day, she stayed in the classroom and organized what she had learned.

As I watched it, a thought came to my mind.

“excuse me. I don’t think I will be able to go to morning training for a while from tomorrow.”

My hand, which had been moving in a hurry, suddenly stopped.

she asked, turning this way.

“Why?”

“It’s a test soon. I want to study.”

There are no theoretical evaluations in the Knights Faculty.

In addition to basic military science, history is also essential as it is an educational institution sponsored by the royal family.

In addition, in the first year, which is a relatively free time, the proportion of theory evaluation is quite high, so there is a lot to study.

No matter how confident you are in memorization, it takes at least a few days to catch up with other people’s years worth of study.

“If that’s the case, I understand.”

“Tell me when you see Dante in the morning.”

“yes.”

Upon hearing the circumstances, Yuriel nodded.

It’s a fact that everyone knows that I was giving up on my studies until I transferred.

she said, licking her lips loosely.

“do your best.”

“… okay. thank you.”

After expressing my gratitude for the words of support, I headed to the library.

However, the purpose of going to the library is one more than studying for exams.

A few days ago, on the night of the battle with the demons.

When Hwaran saw Noah with a calm expression, he said, ‘Imprinting has been completed’.

‘What did that mean?’

If Noah’s meekness so far was actually due to an external factor, I need to know exactly what that factor was.

“Your Highness the Princess.”

“… … .”

Even though it hasn’t been long since I came out, the cold wind gave me goosebumps on my skin.

The maid said cautiously.

“majesty. It is chilly.”

Iris, who was looking out the window with a melancholy expression, turned her head.

“Can’t we just have a little more?”

“… … .”

Seeing the maid’s troubled expression, Iris sighed inwardly and then said,

“I just did it.”

You can try to be stubborn, but if you do, the other person’s position will be very embarrassing.

Knowing that, Iris couldn’t bear to be stubborn.

“… … .”

When she came inside, she remembered what had happened a few days ago.

From noble mtl dot com

Everyone is in a festive mood, but the day when I couldn’t sleep at night because I felt depressed that the person who celebrated his birthday couldn’t even step out of the palace.

‘ah?’

‘oh!?’

Someone appeared in front of her.

I can still vividly see the startled intruder the moment our eyes meet, perhaps because I thought there would be no one there.

As soon as he saw his opponent, he shut his mouth, but soon let go.

‘… ??’

I was so scared, but I intuitively knew right away that he wasn’t here to do this.

Because I could feel compassion in the eyes behind the mask.

‘Why did you do that?’

I don’t even know who he is

He seemed to know this place very well.

Is that why?

I fearlessly tugged at the hem and asked a few questions.

‘Sure, I didn’t answer any of them… .’

He continued to ignore the question as if he hadn’t heard it at all.

On the contrary, seeing this side talking alone, he sometimes showed signs of being tired.

“… … .”

In retrospect, I felt a little feverish, and a blood vessel on my clean forehead turned red.

Even though she was a princess in disguise, this was the first time she had been treated like this in her life.

Rumble… !

“Lowering?”

“… uh! huh?”

“Why is that? Wherever you feel uncomfortable… .”

Seeing the fluttering curtains, the lady-in-waiting asked curiously.

“ah.”

“?”

Iris, who belatedly noticed her ugliness, covered her mouth with her hand.

“Nothing.”

I coughed heavily and evaded it.

Fortunately, the lady-in-waiting did not raise any suspicions, perhaps because it happened often.

Iris let out a sigh of relief and continued her thoughts.

‘If I say this… .’

There will probably be an uproar.

The fact that the palace was thieves was well known to her from the words she had heard.

It seems that everyone knows that Mueller did it alone, but that is certainly not the case.

Because there was a guest of the night who came to visit her.

‘Was he an accomplice?’

I thought about this for a moment, but then I shook my head.

I couldn’t explain it clearly, but it wasn’t like a thief at all.

Rather.

‘article… It was the same.’

Although he was far from the knight on a white horse from fairy tales.

Standing alone on the terrace against the moonlight, the back figure reminded me of a knight for a moment.

“… … .”

A sickly princess and an unknown knight.

My heart flutters at the feeling of the subtle connection between the two words.

Iris stopped walking and looked out the window.

– See you again.

what did that mean

A lie made up simply to get out of the situation? Or a password with some hidden meaning?

Or really… .

“Aiming at me… .”

“yes?”

Rumble!!

“Kyaaah!?”

“ah. Sorry.”

Iris, her face flushed at the inadvertent thought, fanned her hand.

She thought, quickly regaining her sanity.

‘It can’t be.’

What’s good about a princess like this kind of glass work that collapses easily?

I don’t know, but I think there must be some other reason.

‘I’ll have to ask when I come later.’

I didn’t say when, but it was clear that I would come again.

If we meet again, then we must hear her voice, Marira.

In addition, the last time she was so surprised that she cried, so she couldn’t even show her princess-like appearance.

next time… .

“Whoops.”

A small smile caught on Iris’ lips and then disappeared.
