47 – kill angle

The mansion of the Serius family, built in the north of the imperial capital, did not have a large site, but it had a splendid exterior, befitting a building bestowed directly by the emperor.

And the shape of a palace reminiscent of a white house rather than a shape close to a castle.

The white and sky blue colored buildings created a natural landscape as if they were connected to the blue sky.

Like the platform of Valhalla, I wonder if it was built when buildings with dome-shaped ceilings were in vogue.

Anyway, it was a mansion with a classical sensibility, so it was perfect for knights who valued tradition and chivalry.

“Lee Ha-yu? Please come this way.”

At the entrance of the mansion, a man about my age who seemed to be the butler called me.

The outfit is normal… but the unusual thing is that he is wearing a mask.

Even so, I wonder if it would be considered rude to greet another noble while wearing a mask.

“I have a big scar on my face, so I wear a mask. We ask for your kind understanding.”

“Ah yes.”

When Floria looked at her with pity, he continued.

“It’s a shame, but thanks to the Serius family’s grace, I’ve been given a new life. So, it is a great honor for me to serve you all here.”

He bowed politely and prepared to hand over the wagon.

“Yes… please take care of me.”

He is a very self-appealing servant. Loyalty or excessive?

‘Ehh.’

My nerves are sensitive because of the status window from a moment ago.

‘Because he said he could definitely extend the game.’

Maybe there is a clue to survive here?

I keep feeling stuck somewhere between hope and despair.

“Oh, everyone, go in first. I’ll be back.”

Anyway, when I think of my attendant jjambap, what he calls me must be to carry the burden of the wagon.

I thought the field experience was an extension of the academy, but as soon as it came out, it was clear.

As I followed him, I heard Lane’s voice.

“Eliana, I never allowed my servants to be pampered.”

Anyone could see that he had a frown on his brow, as if he was offended by his planting.

But Eliana said as if she had an answer already prepared.

“I heard that the two of you are no longer in a master-servant relationship.”

Eliana’s tone was oddly cold.

“Please call another servant. Because Lee Ha-yu is also a member of the team.”

At the same time, Rain also shoots.

Eventually, the saintess began to intercede.

“Then… why don’t we all do it together…! I wonder if it would be better if it ended sooner…”

Floria clapped her hands at the saintess’ suggestion.

“Yes. This task is also a collaboration, and I think it would be better to do it together from here on out…”

“no. Lee Ha-yu goes alone. The rest I have work to do.”

Interrupting Floria’s words, Eliana looked at me as if she had any complaints.

‘…Sometimes it is said that servants and servants have a cooperative relationship…’

Maybe it’s because it’s her home ground, so it’s a bit different from her usual.

I have no choice but to organize the situation as if it is okay.

“Everyone is fine. It’s not a lot of luggage.”

.

.

.

-bang.

I went out alone like that, but honestly, there are many.

Since I’m visiting a high-ranking aristocrat’s house, it’s because there are a lot of formal gifts.

Carrying luggage in this world is really… you can’t take it off and you can’t get used to it if you want to get used to it.

In addition, since it is a nobleman’s mansion, it takes a lot of work to inspect each item, make a list, and even conduct a safety inspection.

“…you have good strength.”

The masked man told me.

-thud.

“Ah, that one too.”

It seems that he also trained hard, and it seems that two people can do it.

When I see someone in a similar situation, I feel sad for no reason.

In that sense, I threw a word.

“How long have you been working here?”

“It’s been over ten years since I’ve served Eliana-sama.”

Since it is a knight family, it must have been deeply loyal. working for a long time

It’s a useless idea, but in 10 years, Eliana will have seen the face of this masked man… right?

“Do you? I heard that they serve the Aspondell family.”

“As you heard earlier, I quit after trying for 11 years.”

He paused for a moment and straightened his back.

“Hmm, it’s a presumptuous statement, but demons have a more human side than I thought.”

“What?”

“First of all, you are a great beauty. What do I think of the demons? It is different.”

After all, face evaluation is something that cannot be left out.

Well, it’s true that Lane is a look that attracts attention, and he said that he had a scar on his face. it could be complex.

“Besides, a master who looks at a departed servant so affectionately… is not easy to see from a human point of view.”

“……”

-thud.

I lightly lay down my load.

It’s not that I have different feelings for Lane. However, this masked man is openly suspicious.

As for what you said…

As I slowed down on my guard, he said.

“Aiko, excuse me.”

“It’s done.”

Let’s go quickly…

“Um… I’m curious, so could you tell me why you left?”

I just talked

“…even this.”

As I was about to end the conversation, he hurriedly came in front of me and took my belongings.

“?”

“Don’t do that, go in first. The rest is enough for me now. Please take this to the office on the way.”

-chin.

He handed me an antique-looking wooden box.

“After going up the stairs in the hall on the 1st floor, take the stairs on the right and enter the corridor on the 3rd floor. It is by the window, and there are many decorations, so you can recognize it at once.”

“……yes.”

He was… laughing.

It doesn’t look like a mask, but for some reason it feels like that?

“Then, have a good time at work.”

I went to the office after receiving a wooden box from him, leaving only a bad feeling.

* * *

Could it be that I heard that from Lane? everything is questionable

‘It feels different.’

Similar to Isabella, I noticed something just before, but it’s so quiet.

like before the storm.

‘There are no servants or people from the Serius family.’

On the way here, except for the man in the mask, I haven’t met a single maid.

For some reason, there is Eliana in the office and suddenly, it was a hidden camera. It’s a breathtaking sense of incongruity that makes you want to believe it even if you say voila.

-smart.

When I knocked lightly, I heard a voice saying it was okay to come inside.

When I opened the door, an office with a dark brown wooden interior appeared with a large curtain with the Serius family crest drawn on it.

It is spacious and luxurious enough for several people to use.

And on one side of it, as expected, Eliana was standing.

I picked the table closest to her and set the box down.

“…Where have all of you gone?”

“We decided to have a meal until the court mage arrives.”

“……”

It’s courtesy of a noble to meet and greet the family head first, but to eat right away without having to do that.

Absent or…

if not…

Eliana looks straight at me.

“Looks like you noticed.”

“If you show off like this.”

– Tiring.

[Residual Blood: 161]

I was ready to deploy blood magic at any moment.

-……

She looked at me for a while and then headed for the picture frame on the wall.

“?”

Where she looked up, there were pictures of the upper bodies of knights in silver armor lined up.

“……”

“Knights of the Serius family, the head of the family. Do you know what we have in common?”

“…I do not know. Wouldn’t it have killed a lot of vampires?”

She smiled shyly and said. If you look at it like this, you’re a beautiful young girl.

“Really, it seems that there is no longer a master-servant relationship.”

“Why did you call me separately and around like this?”

-……

But instead of answering my question, Eliana started talking.

“When the war with the demons was at its peak, in order to be recognized as the next head of the Serius family, it was said that you had to bring a vampire fang before the coming-of-age ceremony for your qualifications to be recognized.”

“As I said beforehand, I am not a vampire.”

“Know. When I first saw you, I just thought you were being extorted by demons. That is unfair.”

“Then are you aiming for Lane?”

– Knocked up.

She opened the wooden box I was carrying.

Inside was a rapier in the shape of a cross, with an incessantly winding pattern on the hilt and the insignia of Serius engraved on it.

A silver blade, similar to her hair color.

– Seruk.

Then he took out a knife and began to look.

‘Is it a holy sword…?’

That alone cools the atmosphere.

“During the war, it is said that this sword saved many lives. I cut the demons again and again until the sword was soaked with blood.”

“Is it a holy sword?”

She nodded and continued.

“The curious thing is that the more the holy sword is stained with demon blood, the more it becomes dull and corrupt.”

‘Is there such a setting…’

“And to purify this sword again, I need a pure maiden. Like… like Saint Prissy.”

“……no way?”

“As the war dragged on, they said they secretly turned a blind eye to the disappearance of one or two saints in order to restore the holy sword.”

I have a terrible feeling about something.

“That’s why facing the demons is directly related to the issue of purification of the holy sword.”

“What are you talking about?”

“By the way, the things you and the saintess…”

Eliana’s voice begins to quiver with anger.

“Wealth, impure, obscene… conduct. I had to see.”

“that…!”

This feels cheap… The energy of sudden acceleration…

“Hawk, hands on bare skin, carelessly touching, bull, handcuffs,”

“excuse me?”

“Mixing tongues, riding, exchanging saliva. After scanning the neckline… and then… it’s obvious without even looking at it.”

No matter how you look at it, it’s a dead angle drift?

“Isn’t it peaceful now? There aren’t many occasions when the Holy Sword gets stained with blood, so there’s no need to go that far…”

Eliana is the vice president. It’s different from a war maniac without a back.

“Do you know why she was rolling in the periphery?”

“?”

“This is the woman the Serius family tried to take directly. Since I was born, I have raised it very carefully, secretly, and with all my heart. In a frontline village like Norris, there were no civilian men her age who could target her…”

I get a little goosebumps.

Anyway, the young man must be a knight or a soldier… Is this the extent of the Serius family’s breath?

“But you…you intervened presumptuously. A demon servant.”

– Horrible.

Instantly, the day before coming to the ecliptic, the letters she and Elinaa exchanged in the saintess’s dormitory room came to mind.

Is that something that has been going on for a very long time?

“Divine magic, the knowledge of a saintess, devotion and sacrifice. I was called to the academy to do the final touches. You have defiled it.”

“Calm down. We have a relationship that can be misunderstood…”

“The saintess has a crush on a demon tribe… Do you think this makes sense? no?! It cannot be understood unless it is the temptation of the devil.”

She pointed a knife at me. He had a sad expression.

“When we first met, as expected, at the student council… Was it too late then?”

If you don’t build up a crush on this cockmangem, is it unconditionally a kill angle…

“Then, the duel with Isabella, the reason you gave me the note…”

“Yes, I did not want Arain to be killed by Isabella. Because she belongs to me…! So I used you, and you made a great sacrifice for the cause of preventing war.”

Eliana’s tone grew more intense.

“But I never imagined that you would resurrect. you should have died So I’m just trying to put the twisted thing back. So let me set you free.”

“……”

Standing at the end of her rage, she smiled warmly.

“Okay. Lee Ha-yu. It’s okay… it’s not too late yet.”

As if to forgive all sins. Like the statue of the Virgin Mary I saw in front of the cathedral…

I present my final argument.

“I will save you. You did! Wasn’t it embracing all the people in the academy?”

“Yes, since you are a cadet at Prisido Academy… I have a duty to save you, and you deserve to be saved by me as well.

– Kwok.

As he said that, he could see strength entering the hand holding the sword.

do i have to fight Is it an opponent that can be defeated before that? If you are a skilled person who can compete with Arain…

– Slow down.

First of all, you have to widen the distance. A knight and a wizard in close combat.

And let’s take our time Until everyone notices something strange…

“First… put down that sword… and save…”

The serious thing is, right now, Eliana isn’t emotional. She’s calmer than usual.

She declares to me with a resigned expression and a faint smile.

“To cut you down with this holy sword, free you from the devil, and send you to heaven. This is my final salvation for you.”

“Fuck. Are you going to pay?”

You’re crazy… You’re out of your mind right now!

I was so surprised that my thoughts and words came out the other way.

and,

-Huh-uhh!

“!!”

There was no room for counteraction, but a quick sword attack came.
