67 – Their concerns (4)

“Ugh-!”

Slurp-

Lia was unable to withstand the senior knight’s slash and fell to the floor.

It was an attack that would have been easily responded to originally. Because he knew that, the other person was surprised to see her like that.

“Are you okay, Lia?”

“it’s okay. “I was distracted for a moment.”

Leah pretended to be okay and struggled to get up from the ground.

She had already rolled on the floor several times during training and her body was covered in dust.

Compared to before she became pregnant, her physical abilities had decreased to the extent that she noticed it herself.

Attacks that he would have easily parried in the past could not be responded to properly, and his body became so heavy that just swinging the sword drained a lot of his stamina.

I couldn’t keep up with physical strength training such as simple running, and I couldn’t even dream of doing strength training.

The tight bandage to hide my protruding stomach was very frustrating.

This whole situation just made me want to cry. She couldn’t tell anyone about this situation.

I was already five months pregnant.

“Whoa… ha… ”

Still, it was still worth holding on to.

However, as time passed and my stomach swelled even more, it seemed like I would no longer be able to hide it or continue my life as a knight while hiding it.

Aside from the mental pain, my body would no longer follow suit. Even now, my legs have already started to swell, and I’m starting to gain weight little by little.

There was no turning back. now.

It’s already been 5 months. It was impossible to abort a child this big, and contrary to her wishes, the unborn child was growing well.

From what I learned, it is said that once you enter the 6th month of pregnancy, your body begins to suffer in earnest.

Lia was already suffering from severe depression.

In addition to the physical problems, the mental pain was even more painful for her.

-Crackling…

I was on my way back to the dormitory with great difficulty.

Lia found Beryl and the Four Princesses walking alone somewhere in the castle.

She was the one who officially inherited the throne. And her appearance looked so bright that you wouldn’t think she was the cruel Four Princesses of the past.

When did that woman start to change? If I were to think about it, I think it was after Beryl became her escort.

After Beryl became a guard knight, she never killed anyone and earned the throne through diligent work.

Beryl also truly cared for her.

And just by looking at the way the two were flirting, I could see that their relationship was not that of an ordinary lord and knight.

“… !”

Lia suddenly felt an inexplicable anger as she looked at the two.

I suddenly hated seeing Beryl smiling stupidly with a woman like that. The Four Princesses were disgusting just to look at.

It was a whirlwind of more complex emotions, including jealousy.

I couldn’t control my emotions. I didn’t know I was sensitive due to the aftermath of pregnancy. I couldn’t calm down my anger.

-You really…

Yuuna laughs at Beryl’s words and subtly places her hand on his body.

It was absolutely disgusting and disgusting fox-like behavior.

I hated even seeing that fake eye smile.

My anger toward the 4th princess grew more and more.

All of this might have been because of that woman.

That woman, who had nothing but sin, took Beryl without conscience and arbitrarily separated herself and Beryl.

He didn’t know that maybe it was that woman who made him like this. I didn’t even know that he had done this on purpose by letting himself have the room to himself and hiring someone to do it.

No, that was certain. There was no one other than that woman who would have planned something like this.

There weren’t many people in the Knights’ Order who were capable of overpowering him so completely. It was the same throughout the royal castle.

Suspicion became certainty, and Leah’s anxious feelings swirled even further.

It’s that woman. It’s because of that woman. That disgusting woman arbitrarily took Beryl and made herself like this.

The four cruel princesses deserved it. It was quite possible that she, who had been killing people like ants, did this to monopolize what was hers.

Leah was sure. And I couldn’t hold back the anger that poured out. Now that anger was flowing out.

Lia walked towards the two people, forgetting about how tired she was. He was holding a sword tightly in one hand.

My stomach, which was compressed with a bandage, was rumbling. Lia was so caught up in her emotions that even that didn’t bother her.

It was uncharacteristic of her to act. Being emotionally involved like an ordinary woman.

“… Beryl.”

“Ah, Leah. “Are you done with training?”

As she approaches, Beryl smiles warmly and welcomes her.

Seeing him being kind to me, the emotions that had been boiling for a moment subsided.

From noble mtl dot com

Even when I couldn’t control my emotions sometimes, it was always okay if he was there.

It was like that this time too. As soon as he looked at me, my emotions melted away.

“… “Hmm.”

However, his emotions boiled over again when he heard a voice behind him.

It was the voice of the 4th princess, Yuna.

“… “I will meet the princess, or rather the next king.”

“nice to meet you. Sir Leah.”

She was greeted as if nothing had happened.

Lia cried just looking at that arrogant face, but she could not resist beating her to death.

With Beryl by my side, my emotional state returned a little.

“I’m being escorted, so I’ll see you later.”

Strictly speaking, Beryl was on a mission, so I only exchanged a brief greeting with her and turned around again.

In fact, as a Knight of Reconciliation, he was not supposed to behave like this during his duties, but because the relationship between the Four Princesses and Beryl was so close, there seemed to be no such strict rules.

And in fact, Lia knew that she should not talk to Beryl, who was also on duty as a guard knight.

Terup-

However, Lia grabbed Beryl’s arm as she turned and stopped her.

“… Leah?”

Beryl turned her head in surprise at Lia’s actions.

Yuna also stopped at that action and looked at Lia. It was a moment when her expression, which had seemed good, hardened slightly.

“… “What are you doing, Sir Lia?”

“… ”

“You’re also an escort driver, but don’t you know that you’re not allowed to do personal business while on duty?”

Lia quietly looked at Yuna, who came in front of Beryl and fired.

There was a lot I wanted to say, but it was boiling over in silence.

In my heart, I wanted to rip off that proud face and trample on it mercilessly.

“… “Do you have anything to say to me, princess?”

“… yes?”

“why… ”

Lia was speechless and looked at Yuna with eyes filled with resentment and anger.

I wanted to peck her cheek and pour out my anger on her right now.

I was angry at her, asking why she did such a terrible thing and how could a woman like me do something like this, and I wanted to beat her until I died.

No, I wanted to kill him. I wanted to pull out my sword and stab her in the stomach right now.

Why did you separate yourself and Beryl? Why did they rape her and make her pregnant in such a horrible, dirty and ugly way? How can someone disguise themselves as a human being and ruin a person’s life to this extent? How could a human being, a person who was supposed to be a monarch, commit such a terrible act? And how could he hide his terrible nature and laugh disgustingly in front of Beryl?

I wanted to pour out all these terrible emotions right away. My hands were shaking and I felt like crying.

But the reason he couldn’t do that right away was because Beryl was next to him.

She couldn’t bear to tell him what had happened to her and the fact that she was pregnant with the kidnapper’s child.

My anger was so terrible and painful that it boiled over, but I was even more afraid of being looked at with contempt by him because of it.

But on the other hand, I wanted to reveal all of this pain to him and embrace him.

I wanted to be comforted and protected by him.

But Leah knew. If he knew that he was so tainted, he wouldn’t treat me the way he does now.

If a video of him panting like a b*tch was ever revealed, he would look at him with horrendous disgust.

“… under.”

Yuna let out a sigh when she saw Lia trembling without saying a word while holding them.

Yuna thought that she was doing this because she and Beryl were separated from each other.

She was in a good mood recently, so she could have overlooked this, but it was also something Beryl was involved in, and she didn’t like Lia’s attitude, so Yuna also felt a little annoyed.

“… Just be glad it ended that way. And make sure this never happens again. “I don’t think I’ll be able to stand it if I see Lord Leah stuck with Beryl.”

“… !”

Yuna, with a wrinkled expression, took a step closer to Lia and whispered in her ear.

It was a mixture of mild irritation and annoyance. Of course, how those words would be received by Lia was different from Yuna’s intentions.

“Well, you too… you… !”

“Let’s go, Beryl. “I have a busy schedule in the afternoon as well.”

“Yes, yes princess. See you later Leah.”

“Hey, hey… profit… !”

Yuna walked away with a winner’s smile, and Beryl followed behind her.

Slurp-

Lia pointed her finger at Yuuna’s back and fell to the floor, making a hissing sound as if her vocal cords had been cut.

Tears flowed.

They were terrible, hot tears mixed with all kinds of emotions.

“Ahh… Argh… !”

Lia was unable to let out her emotions, so her whole body trembled and she hit the floor, scratching and moaning.

I couldn’t bear to scream. It was so terrible that I had to hide such terrible feelings.

I was disgusted with myself for being dirty. He was horribly disgusted with the cruel Four Princesses who had made him like this. I was very resentful of Beryl, who followed her without knowing this fact.

“OMG… Ahhh… . Argh… !”

Meanwhile, her swollen belly was wrapped in bandages and it was very frustrating.

“… The effect is certain. “But it only existed in solid form.”

“This is enough.”

I was handed a pill by a masked man.

It was a pill that could possibly be the final key to this plan.

It was very difficult to obtain and it was virtually a banned technology, so it was quite difficult to obtain it.

“… This is from the empire side. “At this point, there is a possibility that the royal family will also become aware of the empire’s movements.”

I meticulously communicated with the empire through informants, and eventually succeeded in gaining their trust.

That meant they would do as I intended.

In some ways, it might have been impossible to plan such a big deal without meeting face to face, but it seemed like there was someone within the empire who actively accepted my opinion.

Not only that, the empire may have felt that it was a fight worth fighting.

They would probably assume the existence of a powerful magician named Yuuna and make all the preparations, but if this were all it took, it would be no different from an easy victory for the empire.

Yuna’s inauguration day is soon approaching, and at the same time, the magic tower is being built.

Yuuna does not belong to the Magic Tower and reigns as a king, so there will be no restrictions.

This means that she can participate in the war, and her power alone is enough to surpass several legions.

Because of Yuna, I have been able to act boldly until now.

Even if there was an invasion from outside while the country’s power was low, I was confident that I would win if Yuna came forward.

And the empire must have been reluctant because they knew that.

Maybe Yuna is still considered a threat. Nevertheless, the reason they decided to go on a campaign was probably based on the calculation that they could defeat Helia, including Yuna.

It didn’t matter what the empire thought. Because I was confident that as long as they made their move, we would definitely win.

“… Good work.”

Sigh-

After checking the imperial letter, I cut off the informant’s head without hesitation.

How many people? Killing an innocent informant like this.

It didn’t matter now. No matter who dies, no matter who wins.

The end was in sight. And the one who screams at the end will be none other than Helia.

That was enough.

I leisurely took the pills I received from the informant and left.
