45 – Falling method

It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.

No, it looks like a familiar ceiling.

It was confusing, but I got up and stood up.

“Mmm.”

I was flustered, perhaps because I hadn’t moved my body for a long time.

But it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t move.

“Are you awake?”

A familiar voice.

I turned my gaze to where the voice came from.

Milia Nix.

She was looking at me.

“Where is this?”

“That’s my last name.”

Hmm.

It’s ruined.

●●●

I didn’t understand why I was in her last name, but she told me what had happened while I was in a coma without my asking.

“So you’re saying that it’s already been a month since I stopped that demon from self-destructing?”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, the wall of light created with the last bit of strength seemed to have blocked the self-destruction of the demons.

Thanks to that, I passed out for a month after using my strength beyond my limits.

It may not have been that there were no casualties, but many lives were saved thanks to me.

It was fortunate.

“That…… Anyway, why am I here? Where else have the students gone?”

“Students, don’t worry, they’ve all returned safely to the academy.”

“Yes?”

“You said you went back to the academy. Is there any problem?”

There is no problem.

As long as all the students returned safely to the academy, there was no problem at all.

Just.

“Why am I here?”

“I brought you. Don’t you like it?”

I don’t like it.

I don’t like it, but I can’t say I don’t like it.

It’s not because of the dew in her eyes.

It is because of my life that I can run away with just one word from her.

“Poetry, I don’t hate it.”

“Is that so? Good luck.”

After saying that, she continued.

“When would be a good time to have a ceremony?”

“Yes?”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

“At the end of the day, don’t you know what marriage is?”

I know.

I know, but why are you asking me?

[Apostle, is that guy a bit strange?]

I agree with the goddess this time.

Dazed and unable to answer, the Grand Duke urges.

“Why is there no answer?”

Okay, decided.

Let’s bounce.

A place I had already run away from once.

There’s nothing you can’t do twice.

Check your physical condition.

It gives strength to the hand.

My fingers move according to my will.

‘I can move!’

The body listens properly.

Execute the plan.

“I am embarrassed that it was so sudden. Would it be all right if I walked around and thought about it?”

“Let it be, but can you move it? No, I was just asking. I will support you.”

“Gwa, it’s okay. Enough to walk alone.”

I could really walk alone.

However, the archduke finally grabbed my hand and left the room.

“Okay, how are you now?”

“It’s better to come out. Would it be all right if I walked for a bit?”

“If you are here, I can always wait for you. Think slowly.”

Walking through the desolate corridors of the castle while being held in the hands of the Grand Duke.

A slight chill was creeping in through the windows of the castle.

I was able to reach the destination I wanted as I walked through the hallways and checked the windows.

“Your Highness. I want to look at the scenery outside for a moment. Could you let go of my hand?”

If she kept holding her hand, she couldn’t escape no matter how hard I tried to escape.

Fortunately, she freed my hand without question.

“Look as much as you like, I will never leave your side.”

I look out the window.

The Grand Duke’s castle built on a snowy mountain in the north.

Behind the castle was a sheer cliff.

The cliff I was looking at was that cliff.

I sat on the window sill and looked at the Grand Duke.

“What are you doing? It’s dangerous, come down.”

There is a ripple in her cold expression.

I tell her like that.

“Your Highness. I will give you my answer.”

“You can listen to that later, so come down. After that, it’s a cliff.”

No matter how much she said, she didn’t think I would come down, so she approached me to pull me down herself.

Then I say.

“This is a request, so please don’t look for it.”

Throw your body backwards as it is.

[Four, Apostle? Hey hey! You madman! If you’re going to die like this, fight the devil and die!]

The goddamned goddess screams while swearing.

“I will not die. Do you think he jumped without thinking?”

[Ah, what I just said was a joke. Do you know my heart?]

I felt like I had to give them a bonfire experience for the first time in a long time, if they could escape safely.

Then he looked down.

In the past, I ran away like this to avoid the knights chasing me.

The method was simple.

Just before it completely touches the floor, it magically creates water to alleviate the impact.

It was a method I used a lot in the game of building a house with blocks from my childhood.

Of course, it’s not a game, it’s real, so the pain isn’t great, but I managed to escape alive by harming myself.

‘On second thought, that’s crazy.’

It was crazy, but it was better than life in captivity.

‘Is this enough?’

I had to prepare slowly.

I raised my mana.

I needed a lot of water.

If you were to fall from this height, you wouldn’t be able to break even a bone with a mediocre amount.

“Water. Water. Water.”

Continuously chanting magic.

It was still not enough.

Squeeze out mana.

“Water. Water. Water.”

Due to the continuous chanting, the floor became a sea of water.

‘At this rate, my bones will break a little.’

My body, which was falling at high speed, was plunged into the water I created.

Plop-

It wasn’t without shock, but it was a hundred times better than being pushed to the ground barefoot.

“It’s cold.”

The whole body is wet.

A cold wind from the north enveloped me.

If it stayed like this, it wouldn’t be strange if it freezes at any time.

Hurry up and light a fire with magic to warm yourself up.

“Looks like I will live.”

As I was warming up, I saw a group of people coming here.

The number seemed to be about four.

‘Are they barbarians?’

From noble mtl dot com

I am now behind the castle.

That too is under the cliff.

It was not a place for ordinary residents to wander.

I was vigilant and watched the opponents coming this way.

I let out a deep sigh when I saw them approaching before I knew it.

They were familiar faces.

And these were the faces I most didn’t want to see right now.

“Woah, Master. Why are you here?”

“Master?”

“Teacher… ….”

[Long time no see!]

It was Finn, Illya, Grania and Lucia.

Then the Archduke fell behind me.

Boom!!!

Unlike me, her body, which was strengthened purely through training without expedients, was not injured even after falling from that height.

Then she came up to me with a surprised face and grabbed me by the collar and shouted.

“Are you insane, jumping off all of a sudden!”

The disciples who were watching it said one by one.

“Yeah, there was also an ajumma.”

“Meet the Archduke.”

“… ….”

[Hello Grand Duke sister.]

I’ll turn around.

●●●

As a result, the escape failed.

I was punished for being caught.

The Grand Duke put restraints on my body, saying that he would stop me from doing such foolish things again.

My arms were tied behind my back and I couldn’t move properly, and my legs were wrapped in rope.

In that state, the torso was tied to the chair with a rope.

instant noodle scks tho

It’s all I can do in that state.

All I could do was talk and roll my eyes.

Is this correct?

Is it okay for the Archduke to do this?

It is.

The Grand Duke had the power to stand tall even after committing such a thing.

I am powerless.

Let’s beg for release.

“Can you please release these, Your Highness?”

“No way. Do you know what else you’re going to do and let it go! Stay like that for a while It’s all your fault.”

It’s useless to tell the Grand Duke.

Let’s look at the disciples with the eyes of salvation.

“Why? What you looking at. If I can’t do it, I will die.”

Finn was frightened by the Archduke and avoided it.

“Master, no matter what, falling off the cliff was too much.”

Illya thought that my treatment was natural.

“Master. You came back to reclaim the empire with me.”

Lucia did not know how to give up.

[Can’t you solve this? Should I use it for Finn?]

Grania was thinking of using my restraints on Finn.

There was not a single disciple to help.

‘I want to go back to the academy.’

Just as she was thinking about that, a bell rang.

Dang- Dang- Dang-

The disciples and the grand duke who heard the sound reacted.

“Oh, here again! Aren’t they tired?”

“Let’s go and take care of it.”

“Let’s go.”

[I don’t want to go out because it’s cold outside.]

As if they were used to each other, the disciples each took up their weapons and prepared to go out.

Seeing that, I said.

“What is it?”

The Archduke answered my question.

“The news is that barbarian warriors have appeared. I had accepted the duke’s invitation because I thought it had calmed down recently. After coming back, it’s polar again. I’ll be leaving for a while, so don’t be silly and wait.”

Like that, the disciples, led by the Archduke, left me alone with their weapons complete.

“Teacher.”

“Lucia.”

Lucia hasn’t left the room yet.

She comes up to me and hugs me.

And whispered softly.

“Don’t you want to be emperor?”

She left without saying that.

Ah, I want to jump out.
