With

such hope, Perloche began to inspire him with enthusiasm.

“…Huh?”

But something is strange.

Obviously, he is doing his best to infuse his energy, but the energy is not being transmitted to him.

“Is this weird? It’s obviously written in the last name?”

Perloche, who thought that her sexual power had been completely exhausted, checked her hand, but apparently,
a weak energy was oozing out of her hand.

“Why, why is the sexual power not transmitted? Why?”

Seeing this, Ferroche began to breathe in the man again, but the man’s vitality did not burn again.

“Wait, this happened once before.”

Perloche, who was restless and weeping at such an anomaly, began to mutter with sharp eyes.

“It was certainly the case in the basement of the orphanage. At that time, the subject of the phenomenon was…
obviously…!”

Perloche, who had been muttering in a voice that was not hers distinct and clear, immediately stretched out her
trembling hand to the mask the man was wearing.

Sreuk

“…..!!!”

Ferloche, who took off the man’s mask with a hopeful expression on his face, stiffened with an astonished
expression.

“Fhhhhhhhhhh… Frey?”

It was because Frey’s face, which had a somewhat reassuring smile, was welcoming Perloche.

“You, you why? Why did you save me? Why?”

Thanks to this, Ferroche, who had been in a panic for a while, began to mutter while urgently instilling energy
into him.

“Is Frey a villain? A bad person? A person who hurts everyone…? Why… Why…”

Ferroche, who continued to mutter like that, eventually exhausted all of his remaining holy power, staggered and
collapsed next to Frey.

“…the demon, the demon will wake up.”

With those words, Perloche, who had lost consciousness, woke up again five minutes before Clana found them.

. . . . .

“Frey… wake up… please…”

“…Mr. Perloche, how did this happen?”

Clana, who looked blankly at the weeping Ferroche while holding the chilled Frey in the pile of rubble, asks a
question with a puzzled expression.

“Hey, Clana… Frey is… Frey is… dead.”

Then, Perloche, whose face was covered in tears, responded with tears in her eyes.

“…okay.”

Clana responded briefly to that, and began to glance at Isolet, who was standing next to her.

“……..”

Isolet felt an indescribable emotion and just continued to bruise.

‘…with this, that’s it.’

Clana, who struggled to look away from her, began to mutter quietly to herself.

‘Fray is dead, too sooner than expected, but the Moonlight family was also smashed. So now… everything will go
back to normal.’

Recently, Clana had been informed that the Moonlight family’s council had been disbanded.

It was quite good news for Clana, who tried to deal with those guys who broke their deals and promises with
them and tried to harm innocent commoners, even if they had to go out on their own.

‘…Why the hell did you break the deal?’

However, doubts also remain.

Clana had offered the assassination of Frey in exchange for promising the Moonlight House full support if she
seized power.

Of course, I knew that the Moonlight family would be annihilated soon, so it was a deal I had made to make the
most of them until then.

So, after tying Frey and the nobles into a team, she was planning to hand over the information to the Moonlight
family as soon as the location information was revealed by the mark engraved on them.

If all went according to plan, within days of the location information being released, the assassins who broke into
his house would assassinate Frey and the nobles who would become cancer masses of the empire.

And, as the background, a commoner named ‘Aris’, who earnestly begged him to kill Frey, must have been
pointed out as the mastermind behind this.

As the Moonlight clan’s secret ally, she’s been tampering with information, alibi, and evidence, she is now a
competent assassin of a secret organization.

So, Aris, who will be caught by the investigation team after all is done, would have been punished for
assassination of Frey and the nobles.

Of course, the Moonlight family thought of her as a one-time chess piece, but Clana strongly insisted on
protecting her.

Therefore, Clana, who had put the rescue operation of the arrested Aris into the plan, was relieved and waited
only for the day when the plan would be implemented.

However, everything went wrong because of Isolet’s arbitrariness.

She even manipulated the voting results with cleverly manipulated magic, but she suddenly changed the
commanders of both teams.

However, Clana did not give up, and was in contact with Aris through Serena, who is the head of the Moonlight
family, and plans to assassinate again.

‘The head of the secret family… what the hell was he thinking.’

But last night, an urgent letter flew in to Serena stating that the head of the secret family had suddenly run into
a runaway.

Secret Dangju ran out of control. The 1st Assassination Squadron of the Moonlight Family has been
deployed to the Starlight Family Mansion. If you’re near the mansion right now…

After reading the letter, Clana went to the Starlight family in contemplation, but when she received the letter,
the mansion had already begun to burn.

‘What a relief. The only death toll was Frey.’

Thanks to this, Clana fell into a panic for a while, but now that Perloche is sure to survive, she was able to
breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, Clana is well aware that, even if the secret head of the household ran into a runaway, this incident
eventually started out of her own plan.

And he is very well aware of the fact that commoners on the earth were injured or wounded because of that.

So, he robbed all of his possessions to pay compensation to the common people, and further…

“Frey… open your eyes… please…”

“…Well?”

Clana, who had been contemplating for a long time, came to her senses when she heard the words of Perloche
who was crying and crying.

‘…why are you so sad?’

Of course, it’s understandable that Ferrocheni, a kind-hearted person, behaves like that… She is the one who
insisted on killing Frey not so long ago.

By the way, why is that person looking down at Frey with such a pitiful expression?

“Mr. Perloche, wake up.”

“Ugh… Black…”

Clana was bewildered for a moment, but soon she thought that Perloche’s treatment was the priority, and she
supported her and lifted her up.

“Ah… ha, but…”

“You don’t have to feel so guilty. It’s Frey. Ugly and disgusting, Frey.”

Still, as Perloche reached out to Frey and wept, Clana spoke to her firmly.

“He paid the price for his crime. It looks like he died very painfully. Still, compared to the mistakes he committed
in the previous episode, he’s three bloodstained. So don’t feel any needless guilt…”

“But…but, Clanna-sama…”

But after cutting off Clana’s words, Perloche shed tears and spit out the words.

“The one who saved me is… Frey.”

“…Yes?”

Clana, who was bruised for a while after hearing that, said with a worried expression on her face.

“Because it was so hard… you’re even talking nonsense…”

“No, it’s not… it’s real, it’s real!”

“I can’t. You should go out and get treatment right away…”

But when Perloche kept crying and shouting, Clana shook her head and grabbed her hand and tried to get out…

“…that, what does that mean?”

Isolette, who was looking at Frey with a blank expression on her face, asked Perloche a question.

“Fray… saved you?”

“Yeah… Frey appeared out of the fire… and hugged me…”

The story that Perloche eventually told was quite unbelievable for Clana.

“Fray, who was wearing a black mask, came all the way here holding you as you fell?”

“Yeah… And, after you pushed me in here, I did something outside!”

When Perloche said so and pointed at the door with a trembling hand, Clana said with a bitter smile.

“Mr. Ferroche. Frey can’t do that. After all, you’re hallucinating.”

“Oh, no…! Obviously… obviously…!”

“Everyone, please take Mr. Perloche out.”

Nevertheless, as Perloche continued to speak in a trembling voice, Clana gave orders to the investigators who
had just arrived.

“Oh no! No!”

Perloche, who had been caught and dragged away by the investigative team, suddenly began to scream urgently.

“Don’t get me out of here! Let this go! Let this go!!”

“Saint, you need to be treated quickly. Move quickly.”

“Mr. Clana! Now I understand what the oracle meant! What we were doing was completely wrong from the
start!”

“…Please take me out quickly.”

However, Clana, who thought that Perloche’s behavior was a seizure, urged the investigation team in a low
voice.

“No… don’t open the door… open the door…”

Ferroche, who had been struggling for such a long time, lost consciousness as soon as he went outside and fell
limp.

“Please take Professor Lee Solet with you as well.”

“…Yes.”

Clana, who looked at him sadly for a moment, ordered the investigators to send out even Isolet, who had a blank
expression on her face until then, and quietly began to look down at Frey.

“Still, I’m not sure.”

Then she suddenly murmured with a chilly expression on her face, and began to approach Frey, gathering golden
mana in her hand.

“You’re going to be resurrected soon anyway, right? Because you’re the devil’s servant.”

In the previous round, the Demon King revived his dead subordinates several times and carried them around.

Of course, resurrecting the dead is quite difficult even for the Demon King, so it’s not a magic that anyone can
use… Recently, Frey has been doing things that only the Demon King’s closest aides would do.

So, if we add up the memories of the previous episode… The probability that the Demon King will revive Frey is
quite high.

‘And, in the first place, he might be disguising his death with magic.’

If he is disguising his death, all of this is only helping Frey.

This is a very good opportunity to disguise itself as death from this world and enter the Demon King’s Army.

Grip support…

After thinking like that, Clana said, pointing her finger at Frey, whose brilliant golden mana flashed.

“This is for Serena-san.”

Soon after, a golden beam of light pierced Frey’s head, but Clana was not satisfied with it and continued to
create arrows.

“This is the share of Mr. Irina and Mr. Ferroche.”

Bubbly bubbly!!

Numerous golden arrows pierce Frey’s body. Then, Frey’s body turned into a rag, just like Irina and Ferroche in
the previous episode.

“This is Kania-san’s share.”

Nevertheless, Clana crafted a golden dagger, this time piercing Frey’s throat.

“Finally… my share.”

Having said that, Clana pulled out the dagger that pierced Frey’s neck and pierced Frey’s heart, which he had
sacrificed by piercing his own heart in the previous round.

“…Sigh.”

At the end of that, Clana, who had completely confirmed and killed Frey, muttered out a rough breath.

“After all, I don’t have the qualifications to be a princess.”

He has clashed with opponents he has no control over, and has wounded innocent people as a result.

That fact continued to pierce Clana’s guilt.

It’s a pity that everyone except Frey survived, but I can’t imagine how terrible it would have been if there were
even one casualty.

“…when it’s all over, I’ll have to turn myself in.”

Moreover, even if there were no casualties, it was a situation in which everyone could die.

So, you will have to bear all these responsibilities yourself.

 Gripping support…

With that thought in mind, Clana began to collect a large amount of solar mana.

Frey, who helped the Demon King awaken his power in the last episode, is dead, so there will still be time.

So, he will endure until he finds the hero mentioned in the prophecy, and until he eradicates corruption in the
imperial family and purges the corrupt nobles, and if everything is resolved, he will reveal the truth to the world.

The whole world will be judging myself at that time.

“Anyway… I don’t see you sacrificing your body.”

Clana, who created a round sphere in the room, muttered quietly and came out of the basement.

“…Huh?”

But the moment the basement door was closed, a protective magic circle entered her eyes.

“what’s this…”

In the magic circle, traces of being destroyed and re-activated remained.

“…no way.”

Clana suddenly remembered what Perloche had said earlier while watching the scene, but she immediately
shook her head and began to move forward.

“Princess Princess! Were there any masked men there?”

“Yes?”

But she was soon interrupted by a girl.

“Because he saved us all.”

“That’s right, and in the end, I ran into the mansion that was falling down to rescue Mr. Ferroche…”

“Are you alive? If you are alive, I will surely repay you…”

The moment Clana gave a blank expression to the girl’s words and the words of the students who were next to
her, Irina, who had just woken up from afar, began to cry sadly.

“Fray!! Where are you! Frey!!!”

“…Irina-san?”

“Fray… no!!!”

Clana’s hell had just begun.

EPISODE 74

“Irina… Mr.?”

Clana looked at Irina in panic and asked a question in a trembling voice.

“Why… are you calling Frey with that expression?”

“Frey! Where’s Frey! Frey!!”

However, Irina, who pushed Clana aside like that, started digging up the wreckage like crazy.

“Please… please! Please please please…”

“Irina… Why are you…?”

Next to Irina, her friend Arianne cautiously approached her and asked a question in a trembling voice.

“Oh, Arianne… Do you know where the black hooded man is?”

Then Irina came to her senses and hurriedly corrected Frey’s name and asked a question.

“As far as I can remember…”

Then Arianne frowned and began to trace her memories.

“…So, there I was driving Lulu out of there and I was struck by a pillar of fire and lost consciousness. That was
my last memory and the last time I saw him.”
After she had finished speaking, Irina got up hurriedly from her seat and began to shout at all the students.

“You guys!! Do you know what happened to the man with the black hood!?”

““……..””

It was a desperate and mournful voice that was not like Irina, but the students could not answer her.

Because they already knew the sad truth.

“…you ran into the crumbling mansion to rescue Mr. Perloche.”

It seemed like no one was coming forward, but a girl suddenly stepped forward and started talking.

“And… you haven’t come back yet.”

“what?”

Hearing this, Irina sat down with a despairing expression on her face, and the students next to the girl began to
mutter with dark expressions on their faces.

“I don’t know who he was, but he was quite brave…”

“Yeah, I would have suffocated to death if he hadn’t carried me out the window…”

“I almost got hit by the gangster’s sword… The man in the hood wrapped me around and stabbed me with the
sword instead. Thanks to him, I was safe… but he got a big wound on his back…”

“Wait, Mr. Perloche is alive, right? So… maybe he’s alive in the basement too?”

As one of those students spoke in a hopeful voice, the faces of the students around them began to brighten.

“That’s right! You went to save Mr. Perloche, right? But, because Mr. Perloche is alive… He must be alive too!”

“Princess Princess! Did you not see anyone else in the basement earlier?”

“Please stay alive…”

Eventually, each of the students uttered hopeful words, prayed, and asked questions to Clana, and Clana’s
expression turned pale as she looked at them.

“…Ugh, whoops.”

Clana, who had been staring blankly at the excited students with such pale faces, immediately started running
again to the basement in a hurry.

Shoo…

Clana, who hastily absorbed the ever-growing sphere back into her body, looked at Frey, whom she had killed
with a trembling expression.

“bandana…”

On his face, a black hood had been laid by someone.

“You, you? Did you save?”

At that moment, Clana realized that what Perloche had said was the truth, and began to mutter with a pale, tired
expression on her face at the same time.

“Why, why? What do you need to save Perloche… and all the students?”

Clana muttered like that, and quietly began to approach Frey.

“You… you are a villain. I still remember the feeling you stabbed in my heart. I hadn’t actually died until then.”

Clana, who was sitting next to Frey’s tattered corpse, muttered again with a blank expression on her face.

“You, did you laugh evilly even back then when you stabbed my heart? As if activating a magic circle that will
bring ruin to the Empire is so exciting, really wickedly… Huh?”

Clana, who had been muttering for a while with a blank expression on her face, soon realized that someone’s
hand was touching her shoulder.

“Princess, did you do something grand?”

“…Hey!”
Clana, who was shocked by the sound she heard, and fell forward, realized that the head of the investigation
team was staring at her.

“Damage to the body… Destruction of the scene… This, it seems that even the 3rd Princess will not be able to
forgive me…”

The leader, who had scolded Clana with a solemn voice, immediately raised the corner of his mouth and finished
the speech by forming a circle with his thumb and index finger.

“…if you show me a little bit of sincerity, I can close my eyes.”

After saying that, the leader winked and said to the investigators who were next to him.

“Carefully load it and go out. Don’t drop it on the ground like last time.”

““Yes!!””

Then, the members loaded Frey, who had been torn apart, on a stretcher and began to slowly exit the basement.

“I’ll send you a manual by mail soon! If possible, give it in cash… If you can’t afford it, even jewels… Princess?
Are you listening?”

And Clana began to follow them slowly, leaving the general manager chattering from behind.

I don’t know yet, but I feel intuitively that something is wrong.

“…I’m here!”

“You must have been alive! I’m glad!”

“Well… you look really strong just by looking at it, there’s no way you’d die that easily.”

When Frey’s raged corpse came out, the commoners began to gather one by one with bright expressions on their
faces.

“Hey, please tell me your name! Even if I have a part-time job, I will definitely repay you…”

Among them, the younger brother of an orphanage worker who had been saved by Frey after nearly dying, who
had the brightest expression on his face, started the story with a happy voice.

“…Suck!”

When he found Frey’s corpse, which was in a miserable condition, he fell backwards with a pale face.

“Fh, Frey? Why is Frey…?”

Eventually, the girl muttered with a soulless face, and the gathered students all looked at Frey’s face and began
to mumble with a blank expression on their faces.

“What? Why is Frey…?”

“You obviously went somewhere in the morning? Why are you like this…”

“Wait a minute, but this dress and the bandana… maybe…?”

As the students slowly continued their reasoning, Arianne, who was quietly looking at Frey, began to mutter with
a shocked expression on her face.

“You saved everyone… Was it really you, Frey?”

When those words were finished, all the students around him froze.

In fact, they were expecting it to some extent, but it was because Arianne was telling her that the brain was
struggling to come to a conclusion.

“It was… Frey who saved me?”

“Unbelievable… Why is that Frey…?”

“I don’t understand… You mocked me up until yesterday. But you said that you gave me a knife instead of me?”

As all the students were muttering in panic, someone slowly began to approach from afar.

“Fray… isn’t it? Frey. Open your eyes. Frey…”

Irina was approaching with a smile.

“Stop playing and wake up, Frey. Why are you playing the pranks you used to play when you were little?”
Although the mouth was smiling, the students, overwhelmed by her dead eyes, moved away one by one from
Frey’s side, Irina sat down next to Frey and began to talk.

“Okay, I lost, so stop. Stop it and let’s go eat our fish. Huh? Frey?”

“Irina-san…”

“Fray, it’s my fault, so stop now. I’ll do better in the future. I haven’t even apologized to you yet. So please…”

“…Mr. Frey is dead.”

“No!! I’m not dead!!!”

A student who did not see her tried to stop Irina, but when Irina screamed, the student hesitated and backed
away.

“Fray… please, please, open your eyes. I didn’t even apologize to you… I didn’t pay for my sins… Please… please,
close your eyes…”

“Hey, Irina-san.”

After that, Irina continued to wave and mumble Frey, and Clana, who paused for a moment at the strange
situation, cautiously approached her and asked a question.

“This, this… how did this…”

“…Princess, I will ask you one thing.”

Then Irina, who suddenly stopped shaking Frey, glared at Clana and muttered in a low voice.

“It was the Princess who planned this, right?”

“Uh, that’s…”

“Is that right?”

As the princess heard the words and stuttered, Irina spoke in a cold voice.

“Are you really planning Frey’s assassination, as Frey said…”

“I, I…”

When Clana could not answer the interrogation that followed, Irina shouted while creating a huge meteor in the
air.

“Say it!!!!!!!!!!”

“Hey!”

Clana, who was backtracking at the overwhelming sight, tripped over a stone and tore her buttocks, and Irina,
who had been maintaining Meteor through the crowd, began to speak in a voice that had lost her soul.

“Tell me. Princess.”

“No, that’s right… that’s what I did…”

In the end, Clana, who was overwhelmed by Irina, answered in a low voice, and Irina began to stare blankly at
her.

“Do you know… what have you done now?”

“Yes, yes?”

Irina stared blankly at Clana for a while, then immediately spoke to Clana in a voice mixed with sadness and
anger.

“You just ended the world’s only hope.”

“Isn’t that your only hope…?”

“Fray… Frey…”

Irina, who was shaking while keeping Meteor facing Clana, pushed Meteor to the floor and finished her speech.

“…It was said that he was a hero to defeat the Demon King.”

Kuwagwang!
At the same time as those words, Meteo, who fell helplessly to the floor, made a roaring noise right next to Clana
and started burning red.

It was because Irina, who hated Clana so much, but was well aware of her position, changed the path of Meteor
at the end.

“Fray… a hero?”

As Irina collapsed, staggering from spending so much mana, Clana began to ponder Irina’s words, bruised.

“Coo…”

“…Ah.”

Then Clana turned her head at the sudden noise, and slowly got up from her seat and started walking again to
the place where Frey’s body was.

“Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…”

“This…”

The white owl laid the letter down on Frey’s chest, and, with a sad look on his face, was flapping his wings in the
face.

Why aren’t you replying? I’m almost there. Please, please reply that you are alive.

“…Ah.”

Eventually, Clana, seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, sat down on the floor helplessly and thought.

Even if something is wrong, it has been wrong for a long time.

. . . . .

“So… Frey threw himself to the rescue…?”

“Yeah… I don’t know why…”

“He saved us, but in fact, it was Mr. Frey who was the worst. But… he did not stop saving the students.”

After being bruised for a long time, Isolette came to her senses and started asking questions to the children.

Indescribable emotions were eroding her, but in order to know the truth. I needed to figure out what was true
and what was false.

She continued her investigation without missing a single clue.

“Frey… Why, why did you do that?”

After investigating for such a long time, Isolett came to one conclusion.

That Frey saved everyone.

That was the only truth to which all the testimonies and evidence pointed.

‘You… weren’t you a villain after all?’

But Isolet couldn’t figure out why Frey did that.

It was true that he was his first disciple and a sore finger, and he also had compassion… But the current Frey is
so obvious that he can’t even give a business card to any idiot.

But, why did he save everyone and die?

Did the upright and pure spirit of childhood suddenly awaken?

hey, why?

“Master! Master!”

“Oppaaaah!!!”

“…Cania?”

I was thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly, a mournful cry began to come from somewhere.

“Master! Are you all right…….”

“Brother, what the hell is all this…”

Kania and Arya, who ran into the yard with their faces pale and tired, froze when they saw the collapsed
mansion.

“…Ugh, whoops.”

Meanwhile, Clana, who had been kneeling beside Frey blankly until then, began to get tired of seeing Kania’s
appearance.

If Kania betrayed herself and thought she was attached to Frey, then she would know what happened.

And the moment you hear the truth she tells you, everything will be irreversible.

“young master?”

“…brother?”

However, you cannot cover the sun with your hands.

Kania, who was frantically looking around, eventually found the body of her owner.

“…young master.”

Kania stared blankly at Frey’s corpse for a moment, then knelt down on the spot.

“Uh, what happened? How… How the hell did this happen! What the hell happened to this!!”

On the other hand, Aria looked at her brother’s cold body with an expression of disbelief and began to yell at the
people around her.

“Why, why did only my brother die!! Why!! Why is it my brother!!!”

“aria…”

Then, Isolet, who was watching her, answered with a trembling voice.

“…Frey, he died, saving everyone.”

“What?”

“The men who broke into the mansion released poison gas and set it on fire, and Frey fought them off and
evacuated the students one by one.”

Having said that, Isolet continued, pointing to the commoners surrounding Frey’s body.

“These are all the children Frey saved. He said he saved every single one of them.”

“Oh, your brother…? You mean your brother?”

When Arya asked with trembling eyes, a girl next to her helped Isolet’s words.

“That’s right, besides, when the fire broke out… He threw all our belongings out of the commoners’ dormitory. I
told you not to do that and take care of yourself… To commoners, this is all their wealth…”

“Oh, brother…”

After hearing this, Arya began to cry, and Isolet, who was watching her with a sad expression, quietly closed her
eyes and ended the conversation.

“He who was saving everyone like that… went into the mansion that was falling apart to save Mr. Ferroche, who
was left alone in the mansion… and eventually saved her…”

“Ahhh…”

“In order to restore the protective magic circle to protect her, he poured all his mana outside the basement…
and died with all his might…”

“Oppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Arya, who couldn’t listen to Isolet’s words and finally burst out crying, hugged Frey, who had become tattered,
and started screaming whale whales.

“Why… Why the hell are you doing that!! What did you do that you wouldn’t normally do… Why did you do it!!
Why the hell…”

“…miss.”
“Kania! You, you know the truth? You know!!”

As Kania spoke in a trembling voice next to her like that, Arya grabbed Kania by the neck and began to beg.

“Please! Please tell me the truth!! Please…!”

“……..”

“It’s all over now!! The older brother who had the secret is dead! The mansion is demolished! So… tell me the
truth now!!”

Arya pleaded with tears in her eyes, but Kania was silent.

She too was greatly shocked to see Frey in front of her, so she did not want to believe in the death of the owner
of the same age who she fell in love with.

“…Kania, do you know something?”

As Kania remained silent, Isolette, who was standing next to her, opened her mouth.

“If you know anything, please tell me the truth. Please.”

After speaking with a desperate expression on her face, Isolet knelt down to Kania and began to beg.

“I… must know the truth.”

“That’s right! Please…! Please Kania… I can’t ask everything like this!!”

Then Arya joined Isolet and began to pray.

“I, there…”

“…under?”

Kania, who had been weeping as she looked at them, was just opening her mouth, when someone next to her
spoke to her.

“Kah, Kania… So…”

Turning her head at the familiar voice, Kania noticed that Clana, who had been listening to their conversation
until then, was trying to say something to her with a pale, tired expression on her face, and began to approach
her with a firm expression on her face.

“…So, how do you feel? How do you feel?”

“I, I…”

Eventually, Kania asked with a cold expression on her face, and Clana, who remembered Irina’s reaction earlier,
withdrew her body and began to speak in a trembling voice.

“G… I want to know the truth…”

“Hey… I think everyone should take a look at this.”

The moment Kania was about to say something, looking at Clana coldly, a student stepped forward and held out a
paper bag.

“…what is that?”

Isolet, who received the paper bag that the student had held out with a wary expression on her face, immediately
froze.

[The Will - Open only if I die without catching the Demon King.]

“This… what…”

“Uh… before Mr. Frey entered the crumbling mansion, he told me I had a will in the secret pocket of his bag…”

“…What?”

“At the same time, there was Mr. Frey’s bag where the students’ luggage was gathered… and I looked through
it…”

Isolette, who listened to the student with a blank expression, opened the envelope with trembling hands.

Sharruk…

Inside the envelope were several letters and a document.

“Hey, this is…”

Isolette, who had carefully taken them out, finally, with an expression of disbelief, picked up a letter.

To Isolet’s sister

It was because he found his name written in familiar handwriting on the envelope that was packing the letter.

“Fray…”

Isolette, who was tearing the envelope with trembling hands and reading the contents inside, collapsed in her
seat.

“Fray…”

began to weep bitterly.

“…Ugh.”

Clana, who looked at him stunned, soon found an envelope lying in front of her and began to moan.

“This, all this… what…”

Clana, who had been muttering in a panic, slowly began to reach out to the envelope.

Shoo…

“…Hey!?”

As soon as a black energy rushed over him, his eyes began to look terrified.

“You… you killed the master…”

“…Mr. Kania?”

“You… because of you…”

In front of her was Kania, who began to run wild while reading the letter sent to her with a look of despair.

“…No, it’s my fault. No. It’s my fault.”

“Keep… Kuk Uh…”

“If I had been at the mansion today… If only I had received treatment a little later… I, I…”

Clana unintentionally tried to activate the mana of the sun due to the sudden attack of injustice, but the black
magic that Kania exuded in despair was too thick and strong.

It was the moment when Kania’s black magic, which had the potential to swallow up the continent, fully
awakened to the evil side.

“Come on, wait! Kania!”

“Mr. Kania…!”

Clana, who was so engrossed in Kania’s black magic, was able to escape from the black magic thanks to Isolet
and Perloche, who rushed to Kania.

“…Ah?”

Clana stared blankly at Kania who was screaming whale whales while being suppressed by Isolet and Perloche.

to Clana

The letter was what Frey had left for him.

“Collock! Colloc!!”

Clana picked up the letter with trembling hands while coughing because of the black magic that was still around
her, and carefully tore the envelope.

I’m sorry that I didn’t keep the promise I made when I was young, Princess.

“Ahhh…”

Clana, who was carefully reading the first verse of the letter, began to cry from her eyes.

I wanted to make you emperor with my own hands.

“no………”

The tears she shed were wildly shining in the sunlight.

EPISODE 75

“Selena, we have arrived.”

“…thank you.”

We’ve finally arrived. A place you never wanted to get to, where you will be sure of everything.

“Don’t follow me. I’ll go alone.”

“Then, the luggage…”

“Okay. Leave your luggage alone.”

“Yes?”

The maid, who faithfully followed me both in the previous episode and in this episode, is tilting her head. Well, I
think it would be like that if I just left my luggage in the wagon.

But, to me right now, these things are meaningless.

“Wow, the smoke…”

“……”

The maid, who was looking at me strangely, pointed to the smoke rising from a distance and said something.

I left behind such a maid and started taking heavy steps.

‘…this place is always nice.’

After walking for a while to the place where the Starlight Mansion is, I stopped for a while looking at the
surrounding scenery.

‘Originally, coming here only calmed my mind…’

It was the only happy memory of my childhood that had been filled with horrific abuse and training.

Me and Frey used to play hide-and-seek all the way on this trail to the mansion.

“Serena… where are you going…?”

“Fufu… Well?”

With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes for a moment, then opened them to find a young Frey and I playing
hide and seek.

“I can’t find it… Hurry up…”

Little Frey started crying when he couldn’t find me hiding in a tree on the road to the mansion for a long time.

“I don’t like men who give up quickly.”

Then the young me smiles and speaks in a friendly way. I can’t see it anyway, so why are you smiling? I was
pretty young back then too.

“…Ugh.”

However, young Frey was shocked and began to open his mouth. Seeing his eyes tremble, he seems quite
anxious.

“Bar, I’ll definitely find you, so stay there, okay?”

“Yes, please find me. If you can’t find me today, I’ll be gone forever.”

Oh man, that’s too much fun.

“I can’t… I shouldn’t disappear… heh…”

Look, Frey started crying. Even if you play with it, if you play it in moderation, you can play for a longer time…

“…Selena-sama? Why don’t you leave soon?”

“Ah.”
When I heard the maid’s voice from behind, the young Frey and I disappeared.

“…Sigh.”

Again, it is quite difficult to reproduce the memory. If you lose your concentration even a little, it will break.

‘That tree is still there.’

Still, I was able to bring out some pretty enjoyable memories. At that time, Frey didn’t find me until the sun went
down.

Thanks to that, Frey was scolded by his mother that day.

“…I’m sorry, Frey.”

I am still very sorry about that. But then, I really couldn’t help it.

Of course, I wanted to tease Frey and see his reaction, but I didn’t want to be discovered by him for as long as
possible.

Because when he finds it, the game is over… I have to go home again.

Then, the terrible time repeats.

“Koooooooo…”

“…Ah.”

I’m shivering from the terrible memories of a moment, and my owl flies from far away.

“Yongke also found me. By any chance, the letter…”

“Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!”

“…Ouch.”

I smiled and reached out to a friend who had been with me since I was little, and suddenly he started pecking
me.

“Don’t do this. It hurts.”

A child who has never disobeyed my orders, let alone rebellion, is running at me desperately. Thanks to you, the
hand that covered my face is bleeding.

“Coo…”

But even so, as I straightened my face and walked forward, he fell all over the floor.

“…Go to the wagon.”

I looked at the owl with a stern expression on my face, spoke with a stern expression, and jumped over it.

“…Whoa.”

Seeing that the cry is no longer heard, it seems that they have gone by carriage. Or are you still lying on the
floor?

If you look back, you’ll see which of the two is right, but I won’t look back.

If you look back, you will definitely feel weak.

“The entrance… It’s the same as it used to be.”

So silently walking forward and forward, I finally arrived at the entrance of the Duke of Starlight’s mansion.

“…this is where I first met Frey.”

I still vividly remember the first time I visited this place, led by my father, who was the head of the Moonlight
family’s secret family and former head of the family.

Perhaps you were shy to see your fiance for the first time, you hid behind your mother, then showed your face
with a curious expression on your face.

Until then, I didn’t expect much of you.

Unlike you who were innocent, I was immersed in the dark side of the Empire, and I knew the purpose of the
engagement.
“Selena! Let’s play!”

“…I don’t know how to play.”

“Don’t do that! You can just play while doing what you normally do!”

“Is that so… right?”

At first, it was just simple jealousy.

Unlike me, who was drenched in darkness, I just hated you, who always looked happy with a pure and bright
face.

“Hey, what is this…?”

“It’s the work papers of the peasant. I play while organizing this.”

“Is this…?”

“This is an in-depth course on the defense magic circle. I found it the most fun to play while studying this.”

So, I hurt you, who is innocent.

Oh my god, what kid would play with something like that?

“Serena! Look! I’m done!”

“…under?”

But after a few months of meeting you, you started getting used to the bullying that pretended to be my playing
house.

No, it must be said that he overcame it, not that he had adapted to it. It’s not up to my level, but I’ve done pretty
well.

At that time, I thought you were a genius just like me. And at the same time, I thought you were the only one
who could understand me.

“This… what is all this?”

“Ah, I found out. Hehe…”

But one day, when I accidentally walked into your study room and found a pile of papers, I knew it was half right
and half wrong.

“You… why…”

“If you don’t know this… I can’t play with you, right?”

On the paper before it was piled up like a mountain, the traces of practicing the difficult assignments I had been
given were written in abundance.

You memorized whole knowledge for months to play with me.

“… then I had to get away from you.”

I’ve been thinking about this and that, and I’m almost arriving at the mansion before I know it.

However, the more I do it, the closer I am to the ending I never wanted to meet.

No matter how many times you write a letter, your reply does not come back.

An owl desperately trying to stop me.

No, the ending you can see in front of your eyes… just by looking at the stinky pillars of smoke.

“…Ah.”

As you enter the yard of the Starlight Mansion, various people come into view.

Half the people with dark faces and half the people crying.

I stared at such a scene for a moment, and then I set foot on the lawn where I played with you.

“Se, Serena-sama…”

As soon as I entered the yard, someone noticed me and opened my mouth, pale and tired.
“I, I… I mean…”

Someone told me, it’s Aris. She was the secret agent of the head of the secret family.

Seeing you with a pale, tired face and a blank expression on your face, I think you haven’t understood the
situation yet.

In fact, it would be difficult for anyone to understand the situation in such a situation.

Oh, I see a person over there who has a very good grasp of the situation.

He’s scratching his arm with a stone.

“It’s because of me… Because of me… Because of my unhappiness…”

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that this is the person Frey spoke to in the letter, Lulu. He was said to be a
poor man with the brand of misfortune.

As you can see, you seem to think that all this happened because of you. Seeing the puddles of blood under his
arms make him feel quite guilty.

““……..””

The commoners all have dark faces and bow their heads. Perhaps if Frey had seen it, he would have been
terrified and told him not to do it. It is clearly pictured in my mind.

Oh my, the more I think about Frey, the more I feel depressed. I guess I’ll have to go through it quickly.

“The yard is full of weeping…”

But the more I moved and the more I moved, the more depressed I became.

Professor Isolet hugging the letter and crying, Kania squirming thick black magic with her head bowed, and
Perloche cursed the sun god by radiating holy energy next to her.

Irina smiling almost half-heartedly and Arianne crying while hugging her.

And the princess sitting in the yard and holding a letter with a blank expression on her face.

‘…Really, it’s messy.’

One of the things I hate the most is promiscuity.

So, I have to sort this mess out somehow.

“I’ll be here… I’ll be…”

With that thought in mind, I began to rummage through the envelopes that were lying on the ground.

“under…”

It didn’t take long to find the letter that was left for me.

Because there was only one letter left in the envelope, and on the outside of the letter was the following
message.

To my first love.

“…Frey.”

I thought it would never happen except when Frey was in front of me for emotions to beat reason… but it wasn’t.

As soon as I see tears flowing from my eyes.

First of all, I’ll warn you. Stop thinking about treason.

“…Puch.”

As I read the first sentence with tears in my eyes, I burst into laughter at Frey’s pointless joke.

Anyway, the habit of trying to get rid of the serious atmosphere is still there.

Let’s get to the point. As long as it’s game over, I’ll have to do something about it. I’m going to tell you the
best routes from now on.

“…under.”

With that in mind, as I read the following content, I sighed briefly.

Frey doesn’t seem to hate the world either. He leaves behind all countermeasures for this unfamiliar world.

‘…if that’s the case, it’s useless.’

…that way, everyone can live for at least three generations. If you don’t like this method, escape the Empire
and go to the Western Continent. If it’s your talent, then somehow…

“It’s also not convenient.”

With that in mind, all the methods Frey left behind were lousy. At best, it was only an escape from reality, which
would only prolong life for a while.

If all of these methods don’t work for you… Read Arya’s letter. that’s the last hope

After reading through such useless tactics for a long time, I smiled brightly when I saw the last sentence.

Because what those phrases indicate was consistent with the final conclusion I came to here.

Ps. Even if you read a letter to Arya… Don’t use the strategy you think it is. It’s an order.

“After all… you were a genius.”

As I was thinking about it, I unintentionally looked at the postscript in the letter and muttered with a sad smile.

It was the first time I had read someone’s memory. My fiance was also a genius.

“I’m sorry, Frey…”

However, it was still a little lower than me.

“…the magic of absolute obedience has already been solved.”

With that said, I turned my gaze to a place I had never paid much attention to.

“…Ugh.”

Then, Frey’s mangled corpse caught my eye.

“Uh, uh…”

When I saw the corpse and saw the princess flinch and raise her arm, it seems like she did a confirmed kill.

“………”

Besides, it seems that only Professor Isollett knows about that fact. Mr. Perloche has been in a strange condition
since before, so I’ll remove it.

Hurry up!

“…Ugh.”

Oh, I broke my tooth.

I was clearly watching the situation calmly on the inside, but I must have been grinding my teeth without
realizing it.

Thanks to this, my lips bleed and my broken teeth swell with bitter pain, but now is not the time to worry about
that.

We need to end this messy situation quickly.

“…Mr. Arya.”

“Yes, yes?”

“I’ll read the letter. Give it to me.”

With that thought in mind, I reached out to Arya-san.

“Hey, here…”

Then, Arya-san, whose eyes were wide open, handed me a letter with trembling hands.

“No, other than that… A letter with strange characters.”

“…Ah.”

After those words, Arya took out the letter that was tightly folded in her pocket and handed it to me.
“…Dear brother. You have two options.”

When I finally received the letter written in Korean, I began to read the contents slowly.

“Living as a fugitive or as a guardian. One of the two options.”

In the letter Frey left to Aryae-san, traces of intense thought remained.

“…In case you were afraid you would find the Prophets, my father and I didn’t teach you these characters.

It may not be visible to the general public, but it is visible to me. The traces of contemplating whether or not to
leave this letter by pressing down on each letter for a few minutes.

“…According to what the former warrior left behind, [a side story novel] exists. To explain it for you… Please
note that it is a fictional scenario in which you are not sure if it will actually happen.”

However, in the end he left this letter. He must have been in pain too. To have someone take over your destiny.

“Anyway, according to that uncertain scenario… when I die, you’re the only one in this world who can wear the
warrior’s armor in the hidden space of the basement.”

Upon hearing this, Arya-san stopped crying and began to look blankly.

“Of course… you don’t have the ‘strength of a hero’ or ‘system’… By the time you can wear it, the whole
continent will be on fire.”

“Ahhh…”

“However, if all people from all over the continent unite… And if you run around as a ‘guardian’ and somehow
maximize your good deeds… Maybe the continent will end up burning in half.”

Having said that, I took a deep breath. What follows after this is very important content.

“Of course, choosing that path will open up a very difficult road for you. Although you don’t have to commit an
evil deed like I did… The chance of dying on the way is quite high, and your mind will always be exhausted, and
you will only get false honor.”

“…Ugh.”

“And even if it succeeds, it will only prevent destruction. It will take hundreds of years for the world to be rebuilt.
Even, all I have said now is an uncertain future. .”

By then, I could understand why Frey had written such a hopeless piece of content.

“Anyway, would you dare to choose that path?”

“I, I…”

“…Remember. No one’s will. It’s your will, that you decide for yourself.”

He wanted to give his brother a chance to choose.

“Brother
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

Arya-san, who heard everything I said, embraced the letter and began to weep bitterly.

Yep, I think you got it right… Now it’s time to end it all.

“Ahhh…”

I turned to the princess, who was lying on the floor, pale and tired, leaving behind Arya-san, who was crying
bitterly.

“Now, I was wrong… I was wrong…”

“Mr. Clana.”

“I was wrong… ugh… I was wrong…”

Her golden eyes were bloodshot, and her elegantly adorned hair was messed up.

Seeing that you are holding the crumpled letter so tightly that your hand is bleeding, you must have already read
all the truth from that letter.

“…the corpse, I didn’t think it was going to be like that.”

I didn’t want to say harsh words to her, but for some reason strange words started coming out of my mouth.
“Doesn’t matter… You don’t even need to confirm the kill.”

Then, Clana began to look at the faces of those around her with a look of terror on her face.

“…Okay. Now, if you come back and check it out, what are you going to do?”

Mr. Clana, standing in front of me, provided the trigger for Frey’s death and mutilated the body.

But, she killed Frey because he stabbed her in the heart the previous time. And, the damage to the body is
probably because of Frey’s behavior in the previous episode.

So it makes sense, but…

“Aww…!”

“…Princess?”

Suddenly, Mr. Clana grabbed her head and began to moan.

“What, what… this memory?”

“Ahhh.”

“Fray…”

At the same time, I heard a sound from behind, so I looked back carefully and saw quite a few people grabbing
their heads.

Everyone is complaining of pain except for the common students, Kania, Irina, and me.

“Hey, what is this memory…”

I was staring at it quietly, and Clana-san started to mutter with a blank expression on her face.

“I can’t… Then, then, to save me, Frey…”

“…does your memory come back?”

“Se, Serena…”

Only then did I know what the situation was.

As the subject of the amnesia disappeared, everyone’s memories returned to their original state.

Except for Kania-san, Irina-san, and me, who have already regained their memories.

“……..Hahaha.”

As I was thinking about it, Clana-san’s eyes died.

It’s like looking into a lifeless doll, which is a bit creepy.

“Mr. Clana. Calm down. Mr. Clana.”

I shook Clanna-san like that, but the princess just smiled with thin tears from her eyes.

Apparently, the princess has been broken.

““……..””

And it’s the same with everyone else behind it.

They were still crazy people, but I was completely blown away by the memories I had with Frey.

“Mr. Clana.”

I watched the scene quietly, sighed and sat next to the princess and started talking.

The last thing I have to do, to finish.

“Look at Professor Isolet over there. He’s quietly stroking his sword.”

“…Ah?”

“The man who had only been making a blank expression until now is smiling and stroking the sword that Frey
gave him as a gift. Do you know what this means?”

As I spoke coldly, Mr. Clana, who had been broken, began to tremble.
“…soon, you’re going to stab yourself in the stomach with that knife.”

“iced coffee…”

As I spoke to her relentlessly, a sense of fear entered the dead Clana-san’s eyes again.

Apparently, shock therapy worked.

“Look at Kania over there. The black energy is about to swallow her up. Next to her are Perloche, who is
scratching the floor until her nails are dry, and Irina, who has gone mad.”

“Hey, stop…”

“Aria’s eyes died after remembering the truth about her mother’s death. Not only that, but her mana also
refluxed. If you leave it like that, it won’t last long…”

“Stop… please…”

But, I stimulated and stimulated her like that.

“In a situation like this, what should Clana do?”

“Mom, I don’t know…”

“Why don’t you know? You’re the leader who leads everyone. If you don’t know, who knows?”

“I… do not have the qualifications to be a leader…”

Then Mr. Clana began to mutter with dark eyes.

“I just… I want to die. I want to die like this and disappear. So, so…”

“No.”

I declared… to be heard clearly by Mr. Clana like that, and to everyone around him.

“If Clana and you all fall here, my plan is useless. So… get back up.”

“Come on, what’s the plan…?”

Having said that, I took a vial out of my pocket and started talking.

“There is still hope. Hear from Arya-san. He will make the decision.”

“Selena-san…?”

“Then I’ll show you my last trick.”

After saying that, I opened the cap of the medicine bottle I was holding, and poured the liquid inside my mouth.

““………””

And, there was silence for a while.

‘Fray, I’m sorry…’

In that silence, I quietly closed my eyes and fell into thoughts.

‘…But no matter how much you think about it, this is the only way.’

Recently, while reading a secret document of the Moonlight family that I obtained secretly… a shocking memory
came to my mind.

Only then did I understand why I fell in love with you so blindly and why I didn’t give up on you until the end.

I owe you a debt that I will not be able to pay even if I dedicate my whole life to you.

You must have accepted the fact that you had only 10 years left to live when you entered the academy.

But, how is that possible?

It was too much to be considered the result of continuously sharing life force with Kania, and how did he know
that it was ‘exactly 10 years’ in the first place?

The answer lies in your fabricated memory.

Yep, what you remember as ‘the first evil’… a memory related to the curse of my subordination.

“Big Black!!”
“Se, Serena-san!?”

Oh, it seems to be working slowly.

Have you always vomited blood like this? Oh my gosh, that must have been terrible.

“Serena…? What did you… do you?”

“Ha… ha ha…”

“…what was that magic circle that appeared on your body?”

After I sat down on the floor for a moment, Clana-san started to look at me with a blank expression.

“I ate poison. The magic circle is a curse on me.”

“…….What?”

“Mr. Frey, who was blocking my curse, died, and my weakened curse was activated again. In a few minutes like
this, I will become the puppet of the ‘Secret Leader’. So, I commit suicide.”

When she spoke to Clana-san like that with a rapid-fire gun, her expression, who had been constantly making a
blank expression on her face, started to get distorted.

“Hey, what do you mean… Frey is blocking your curse? You’re the secret master? You… you’re going to die?”

“Yeah… to make the last tactic I’ve set up for success… I have no choice but to do this.”

“That… what does that mean!!”

Then Clana ran up to me with tears in her eyes.

“Lord, don’t die… Don’t die…”

“Keheuk… uh…”

“Are you going to die for me too? I… I made Frey that way… You too… because of me…”

“…Mr. Clana, and everyone else. Listen to me from now on.”

I stopped talking to Mr. Clana, who was in a panic, and I started talking while barely grasping the fading
consciousness.

“Don’t let Frey’s death… and my sacrifice be in vain…”

“Oh no… no no no… no…!”

“The death of the two of us… Ask your heart and make it a milestone… Move forward. Don’t give up. Okay?”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!”

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but I think it’s impossible to go further. It’s too hard.

“…just one question, one question.”

God, the black cat asked me a question. I can’t help it. I’ve heard bad things about him.

“Why… why do you do that? What the hell is this hopeless world… so good?”

You asked a pretty cute question. Thanks to that, it puts a smile on my face.

“…the world that Frey wanted to protect.”

Ah, I think what I just said will be a will.

Geez, what do you do?

The last thing I wanted was to bury him next to Frey…

. . . . .

“Se, Serena?”

Serena, who was spitting blood from her mouth while being held in Clana’s arms, became droopy, and Clana, not
knowing what to do, started gibbling.

“Is this a lie? This… Is this all a ruse you’ve devised? Isn’t it…?”

Those who watched Clana realized the depth of Serena’s last words and remained silent.
“Serena… Serena… Uh…”

Clana, who had been gibbling for a long time, buried her face in Serena’s arms and began to mutter.

“My, I… I… I… Serena… Frey… uh…”

“His Majesty, Princess Clana!! This is urgent news!! One hour is urgent!!”

“…OMG?”

Clana, who had been rubbing her eyes for a long time, shed tears, was startled and trembled when a messenger
suddenly came to Frey’s yard.

“No, you’re okay… I’m glad… Uh, huh?”

Seeing her like that, the messenger sighed in relief, but belatedly grasped the situation unfolding before his eyes
and hardened.

“…Uh, I don’t know what happened… First of all, let me tell you the news.”

The messenger, who had been bruised for a long time, soon realized that this was an emergency, and quickly
began to deliver the news.

“Your Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Empress, and the 1st Prince and 1st and 2nd Princesses have just
been killed.”

“…….Yes?”

Upon hearing this, Clana opened her eyes and asked a question, and the messenger responded with a firm
expression on her face.

“Now it means you are the emperor of this empire.”

“…….Ah.”

Everyone, including Clana, was bewildered by the shocking news, but the messenger continued the story with a
darker expression on his face.

“And, the Demon King has declared war.”

“……..!!!”

Hearing those words, Clana and everyone froze, and from that moment on, time suddenly began to accelerate.

The sun keeps rising and setting, and the moon comes and goes. People are passing by at high speed.

“Sigh…..”

And in the midst of it, Frey, who had a gloomy expression on his soul, began to mumble in a melancholy voice.

“…that’s the worst.”

The ordeal was coming to an end.

EPISODE 76

“Sigh…”

A girl is walking down a street full of snow.

The breath coming out of her mouth meets the cold air and spreads out in all directions.

The girl, who had been watching the scene, suddenly raised her head and looked up at the night sky.

“…it’s dark.”

Until a few months ago, the moon and stars were brightly shining in the night sky every day, but the recent night
sky is not at all like that.

Instead of the twinkling stars and the soft moon, there is only deep darkness.

“How did this happen?”

The girl, who had been muttering coldly while looking at such a figure, began to move heavy steps again.

Shoo…

“…Ugh.”
But this time the cold winter wind blocks such a girl.

Thanks to that, the girl who stopped at her seat and sighed went into the store next to it, avoiding the fierce
wind.

“Come on…”

Normally, the shopkeeper would have immediately kicked out the girl-like, ugly-looking person, but he just
mumbled greetings with a lost expression on his face.

flutter

Thanks to that, the girl, who had been resting for a while, picked up the newspaper fluttering next to her and
began to read the contents.

Empire, a series of defeats. Does the splendid sun set like this?

“Ugh…”

But as soon as she read the headlines in the newspaper, the girl quietly closed her eyes and muttered.

“I, too… I’m doing my best…”

Of course, there was no one to answer the girl’s words in the empty shop with no one around, and neither was
the drunken owner.

“Hey, kid.”

“…Yes?”

When the girl, who had a strong sense of that fact, left the store with her teeth clenched, the drunken owner
began to mumble in a hoarse voice.

“I don’t know why people go in and out of this place on such an ambitious night like this… but it’d be better to
leave this place sooner rather than later.”

“Yeah, that’s why you’re leaving now.”

“This city… no, this country.”

At the subsequent serious voice of the owner, the girl shrugged her shoulders helplessly and murmured.

“The imperial family is still holding out. So, maybe…”

“Damn it. If they are holding up well… Why isn’t there a single customer in my store?”

“that…”

“Even a few years ago, it was full of people.”

When the girl quietly looked down at those words, the man fell back on the desk and murmured.

“Okay… What would you do if you were to blame a kid like you? I’m going to drink.”

“…don’t you run away?”

“escape?”

Then the owner, who heard the girl’s words just before leaving the store, grinned and muttered.

“A hanyang like me will face the same end no matter where he goes, well.”

After saying that, the owner immediately closed his eyes and started snoring.

“…wow.”

After hearing that, the girl who had been grinding her teeth for a while went outside again, where the cold
winter wind blew.

Shoo…

“…Sigh.”

The girl, who had been walking in the winter wind for a long time, started looking at her frozen hands.

“This, profit… profit…!”

Then, the girl suddenly began to give strength to her hand.

“Come… Come out…!”

Then a faint light began to appear from her hand, but that was all.

The dazzling light that once melted everything that stood in front of him could not melt the snow falling from the
sky. I couldn’t do anything other than brighten it up.

“Please… come back…”

Seeing such a dark light, the girl began to cry and mutter.

It was a word with many meanings, but none of those meanings could actually happen.

Because the person she wants is long dead, and the light she wants has long since faded.

“…..Ah.”

The girl who had been crying for such a long time came to her senses only after the warm tears that ran down
her cheeks fell on her hands.

“I… don’t deserve to be sad.”

The girl muttered in a cold voice, forcing her frozen body to walk and walk again.

The girl who went beyond the cold and turned into pain, then continued to move forward through the severe cold
that even the pain disappeared.

“Everyone, I’m here.”

Arrived at a place quite familiar.

A place where she had been visiting her every weekend for several years and repenting, now that even the
number of people who come to her has ceased to exist.

[Birthplace of Frey Raon Starlight]

“…I’m sorry for coming to you like I did.”

Every time she comes here, she always apologizes.

Because I thought that he wouldn’t get angry by showing his face carelessly and falling asleep. She never
skipped this apple.

“…Sigh.”

However, the added guilt each time he apologized often outweighs his sense of security.

Just because he apologizes to those who died because of his own fault every day, there is no way the dead will
come back to life.

Beep…

“Hey… I need to fix it…”

The girl who opened the door leading to the yard where there was once an old-fashioned and stylish mansion
mumbled as the door creaked and rattled before stopping.

“…that’s right, was today the last day?”

Having said that, the girl sighed and entered the yard with her head bowed as if she had committed a crime.

The place where Frey Raon Starlight’s birthplace was.

As soon as she came here, as she always did, she headed towards her birthplace where the incident took place,
bowed her head for a moment and began to mutter a prayer.

This was done because I wondered if the soul of Frey, who was sleeping in the basement of the mansion, was
suffering.

“…Hello.”

The girl, who had escaped from the mansion where only traces remained, approached the gray stone monument
in the distance and nodded.

A hero no one knew, sleeps here.

“I’m really sorry I haven’t been able to hear you lately. I’ve had a bit of trouble…”
The girl, who had been stroking Frey’s grave and said so, took off the robe she was wearing and revealed
herself.

With her long, lush, golden hair cut short and bobbed, she was engraved with numerous scars on her unscathed
body, Clana Solar Sunrise, who would probably be called the last emperor of the empire.

“…I’m sorry, actually, it wasn’t a bit of a problem.”

The Emperor of the Empire weeps as he kneels at the tombstone, clothed in dirty robes.

It’s going to be quite an issue, but if it’s the Sunrise Empire, it’s not that surprising.

The fall of the Sunrise Empire was because it had already become a fact.

“I won a few times at first… I thought there was hope… Now that the sun’s mana is gone and the harsh winter
continues… I can’t stand it anymore.”

I don’t know how many years have passed since that incident, but Clana, who was quite tired, began to mumble
subconsciously.

“If it were you… this wouldn’t have happened.”

With that said, Clana turned her gaze to Serena’s grave.

“……..”

Clana, who looked at the two graves with her mouth closed for a while, began to speak in a trembling voice.

“The Demon King’s army has also invaded the capital. Thanks to that, it seems that there are only pub owners in
the capital, except for the Imperial Army, whom I met earlier.”

Clana, who had been muttering as she recalled the drunken bar owner she had met earlier, muttered in a
trembling voice.

“When the sun comes up, I will lead the Imperial Army and fight the Demon King. Of course, I can’t even use the
mana of the sun… The Imperial Army is all sick or exhausted… Still, I am evacuating from the port to another
continent. It will be enough to buy time for the people and for Arya-san.”

Having said that, Clana immediately began to cry with tears in her eyes.

“So, today is the last time I see you… Tomorrow I…”

Shoo…!

“…Hey!”

As if answering those words, the cold winter wind blows through Clana.

Thanks to this, Clana, who felt the pain of being stabbed by a needle in every corner of her body, said with tight
eyes closed.

“…I’m sorry, I only felt pain in front of you with this. The pain you felt… must have been a hundred times greater
than this…”

Having said that, Clana, who was holding back the wounds she felt in every corner of her body, clenched her
teeth, pulled something out of her arms.

“…It’s a starry sky arrangement. The one you gave me a long time ago.”

Clanna, who had set the star primrose under Frey’s tombstone, laboriously moving her frozen hands, wiped the
tears from her eyes and pulled something out of her arms again.

“Selena-san. It’s an evening primrose flower. I just… I think I should give it to you as well.”

Eventually, Clana got up from her seat, putting the evening primrose flower under Serena’s tombstone, and said
with a sad expression.

“Well then, bye. Everyone.”

Shoo…!

“…Aww!”

But just then, an unusually bitter winter wind began to penetrate her.

“……Ugh.”

Clana fell to the floor screaming at the wind, but she quickly clenched her teeth and got up from her seat.
Because they couldn’t show their shame to the two people who died because of them.

“…Huh?”

Clana, who was shaking and bowing to say hello, noticed something shining under Frey’s tombstone.

“……ring?”

It was a ring with an exceptionally shiny surface.

“I don’t know who it is… Maybe someone who had been favored by Frey left it behind, right?”

Clana looked at the ring that was shiny on the outside but had stains on the inside, and then muttered with a
guilty expression on her face.

It has been a long time since Frey died, and the good deeds he had secretly done were revealed to the world.

What broke Clana’s heart the most was that Frey was the founder of the once largest orphanage in the Empire.

When I heard the news, I was so sad.

When I went to the orphanage, when the children greeted me brightly, I even got nausea from self-loathing.

“Ah… it’s like this again.”

Clana, who had been immersed in such thoughts for a moment, soon realized that her hands were trembling.

“Ugh…”

When I grab my right hand with my left hand, I feel a tingling pain. Apparently, he was wearing a statue.

Tub Tub

But Clana leaves the cemetery without hesitation. In an empire where eternal winter has come, a statue is not a
big deal.

“Collock, Colok!”

Also, a cold is no big deal. It is highly contagious, but the fatality rate is not that high.

The only thing that is truly frightening is the Demon Lord Army with a 100% fatality rate.

Tub Tub

Clana, who had covered her mouth with her trembling hands and coughed, muttered in a sad voice as she came
out of Frey’s mansion, which had become a graveyard.

“I feel the same way as back then.”

The day Frey and Serena lost their lives, the moment they left the yard after receiving an important mission to
deal with the Demon King while ascending to the throne.

Clanna still can’t forget the feeling of that time.

“…before joining the army, I need to warm up a bit.”

Clana, who had been standing there for such a long time, began to mumble and move her body like that only
after she was hit by the wind until the sensations in her body disappeared.

“What, are you here again?”

“…I need a place to warm myself up.”

Of course, there was only one place to warm up, so Clana noticed the owner and entered the store.

“Uhh… that’s a weird kid.”

Then the owner, who stared at her for a while, immediately smiled and asked a question.

“You… do you have any money?”

“no.”

“Then why are you in the bar?”

“I have money for a drink.”

Hearing this, the owner laughed and took out a bottle of wine behind him and handed it to Clana.
“…can I give the little boy a drink?”

“Seeing that he is still in a place like this, he looks like he is going to die… Would you mind giving me a bottle of
alcohol?”

The store owner, who answered Clana’s question with a grin, gulped down his drink and said:

“…I’ll go to bed then, stay here or not, it’s up to you.”

“What if I steal the money?”

“Is there any money? Well, there is a lot of alcohol.”

The store owner who said that soon hummed and started going upstairs to the store.

Profit…

“…under?”

But at that moment, the door of the store opened and a man in a black robe appeared.

“Hey, over there? There’s a guest…”

Embarrassed, Clana screamed upstairs, but there was no answer.

“Well…”

Clana frowned for a moment, then quietly began to ponder the person who came in.

“…Are you, by any chance, a subordinate of the Demon King?”

“No, I’m just a passerby.”

Clana, who had asked the question in a tired voice, said with a soulless nod when the man in front of her
answered quietly.

“okay.”

And, there was silence for a while.

gulp gulp

Clana, who had stared blankly at the bottle in front of her for a while, suddenly picked up the bottle and began to
drink it in a gasp.

“…Huh.”

Although Clana didn’t usually enjoy drinking that much, it was a choice she made to forget her fear of the final
battle tomorrow, her guilt towards Frey and Serena who had just visited her, and many other emotions.

“It’s all… It’s all my fault…”

However, it was only one of her many misjudgments.

The strong and bitter alcohol only helped bring out the dark emotions she had been struggling with.

“If it wasn’t for me… everything would have worked out if it wasn’t for me…”

Having said that, Clana began to drop her hands on the desk.

“Oh no… I don’t want to remember it again… I don’t want to…!”

It’s been quite a while since I stopped using the mana of the sun, but I can still vividly feel the feeling of tearing
up Frey’s body that day.

The moment the rays of the sun’s rays from his fingers pierced Frey’s head, and the vibrations created by the
dagger he summoned piercing into Frey’s heart, it seems like he can still feel it in his hands.

“…Stop it.”

Clana, who had been screaming for a long time and taking pictures of the whale whale, came to her senses and
looked at her hand when the man sitting at the table next to her muttered softly.

“Hah… uh…”

Her hands were torn apart.

“Frey… I was wrong… I’m sorry…”

Nevertheless, when the terrible touch that had tormented her for years did not go away from her hand, Clana
eventually fell on her desk and cried.

“If I… hadn’t done that back then…”

Saying that, what she took out of her arms was a letter that was worn out because she had opened it up a lot.

I’m sorry I couldn’t keep the promise I made when I was young, Princess. I wanted to make you emperor
with my own hands.

He never forgot the promise he made with him when he was young. Even though he was going through so much
pain and suffering.

Do you remember the first day you and I met? The tea party held for you on the first day of your socialite
debut.

The tea party held at her debut commemorative ball still remains as an unforgettable memory and memory for
Clana. Of course, the meaning has changed many times.

At a table where no one else was sitting except me and you, he pretended not to be hurt while drinking
tea… Oh, I’m sorry. Have you ever been bored?

The tea party was a trap the Empress had dug.

It was a kind of show that did not allow any Young Ae and Young Shik to participate in the 3rd Princess’ tea
party, ruining Clana’s debut and at the same time announcing my political position to key figures.

At that time, you told me to turn it off if you’re going to be sympathetic.

Indeed it was. People who have good faces on the outside and evil thoughts on the inside have been getting tired
of seeing them throughout their imperial life.

Young Frey, who attended the tea party alone, where no one could come because he was watching the Empress,
and smiled at himself, thought he was just showing his favor by thoroughly calculating the profit and loss.

You know what? In fact, I was quite hungry at the time. So you went to a place with a lot of food and, after
all, it was your tea party. After all, it was my first debut in the social world, so it was a happening.

After reading the letter up to that point, Clana’s mind began to vaguely recall the conversation between herself
and Frey.

“Would you like to be friends with me?”

“If you’re going to be sympathetic, get out of it.”

“Yes?”

“I hate pretentious people terribly… so get out of here.”

“Oh, not that much… I want to be friends with you…”

Then, there was Young-ae whom I had never seen before, so I wanted to be friends with him, so I started
talking to him, and he got a lot of insults.

“If you want to be friends with me, please bring me some primrose flowers.”

“…star primrose?”

“Yes, it is a precious flower that grows on the mountain you can see over there. Unless you give it to me…”

“I will be back!!”

At that time, Clana was grumpy to let Frey go.

The 1st and 2nd princesses asked the Empress to get the star primrose flower, which they boasted to themselves
after receiving it as a gift from the Empress.

Of course, Clana thought that Frey, who had approached him with calculations, had no way of saving it.

Perhaps, after searching the forest for a while, he murmured and gave up.

It was natural for the unfortunate princess who was always used only by others except her mother from birth,
and who eventually lost her mother and closed the door of her heart.

I never thought it would take three days to find it.

But because of that, her social debut ball was turned upside down in a different meaning from what she wanted
with the Empress.
 Anyway, my conclusion is…

“Hey, I can’t even open my eyes.”

“Huh?”

I was slowly reading through Frey’s letter, which I looked through whenever I was traumatized, and the person
next to me shook his head and said:

“Could you please stop taking that hand down?”

“Ah… sorry…”

It was then that Clana realized that she had been keeping her hands down on the desk while reading the letter.

“I’m sorry. I haven’t…”

Thanks to that, Clana looked down at her hand, which had become more serious than before, then bowed her
head and started apologizing to the man sitting next to her.

“Then there is no point in writing a will.”

“…Yes?”

However, the man sitting next to me started saying strange things.

“Damn, I didn’t know it was going to be this serious… Is this the reason the system was the last to see him?”

“All, you…!”

Clana, who looked at him blankly for a moment, got up from her seat, widening her eyes as he spoke after
unmodulating her voice.

“Hello, Princess.”

“F, Frey!!!!!!!”

When the man wearing the black robe took off his robe, revealing his silver hair and eyes, Clana exclaimed with
a look of shock and shock.

“…this is the pattern again.”

“Fray! Were you alive? You were alive!! That’s right!!!”

Then Clana quickly filled her expression with joy and ran towards Frey.

“You!! This isn’t the time to be like this! The Demon King is right in front of you!! Hurry up and get out of here
with me… ugh.”

“…Sigh.”

However, after a long time, she rushed to Frey with tears of joy, and she ran through Frey, who had a dark
expression on her face, and crashed into the wall next to her.

“Uh-huh? How did this happen? Surely Frey is here… Why…”

Clana, who was bewildered for a moment, began to shake Frey’s body with her trembling hands.

“……Well then.”

Clana, who had been fumbling for Frey, who had not been caught for a long time, began to ask questions to Frey
with a desperate expression on her face.

“So, what? My fantasy? Or a ghost who came to take revenge? Personally, I prefer the latter. It pays you for your
sins…”

“At first, I wondered why this was an ordeal…”

And Frey, who looked sadly at Clana like that, muttered in a low voice.

“…I don’t think there is anything more suitable for the word ordeal than this.”

In front of him, there was a system window with only the number 1 floating around.

EPISODE 77

“Clana.”
“Even in my dreams, I wanted to ask you to forgive me, but you never appeared in my dreams. So I thought I
would never be forgiven or even apologize…”

“Clana, calm down.”

Frey, who was looking at Clana with a soulless expression on her face, stopped her, and Clana, who was
desperately continuing the story, quickly shut her mouth and began to look at Frey.

“Ha… Anyway, this is an ordeal, and when it’s over, everything will go back to normal…”

Her arrogant and dignified appearance disappeared somewhere, and Frey sighed and muttered as she looked at
her long-destroyed due to excessive stress and trauma.

“Yes, yes? What did you say?”

For some reason, his words just didn’t reach Clana.

“It’s nothing. By the way…”

However, Frey didn’t care about such anomalies, looked at Clana and opened her mouth.

“…why is that hand doing that?”

“Ahhh…”

Then Clana started talking with a terrified expression on her face.

“All, you… the time to cut your body… the time to stab your heart… the feeling of when Serena-san was drooping
in my arms… it won’t go away…”

“…okay.”

“Hey, hey! Now, it’s wrong… it’s wrong.”

As she reached out her hand, Clana was terrified and wrapped her arms around herself.

“Ah, ah, ah… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

After that, she hurriedly bowed her head and apologized, and I quickly took her hand, not wanting to repeat such
a vicious cycle any longer.

“Hey!?”

Clana started to flinch as she felt the warmth of her hand, and Frey looked at her and started talking.

“Even though I can’t touch you… I can use some of the mana of the stars, so I’m glad I can give you this kind of
warmth.”

“All, you…”

“So, have you calmed down a bit? Princess?”

“You are… a real Frey…”

Only after realizing that the stellar mana she had only felt in Arya was wrapped around her hand, Clana knew
that the person in front of her was the real Frey.

“Uh, how did you reappear…? Did you resurrect…? Is it ancient magic…? Or is it really a ghost…”

“…I can’t tell you that. I want to tell you, but I can’t get it to you.”

Frey, who answered Clana in a low voice, immediately started talking with a serious expression on her face.

“But what’s certain is that I’m the real Frey… and even though it’s only a limited time, I’ve come this way in
front of you.”

“Ah…”

Clana heard those words and said in a trembling voice.

“By the way, recently, other people have been like that… that you appeared in a fantasy or dream for a short
time…”

“I explained that to most people, but I thought that deceiving a guilty person like you would have an adverse
effect.”

“iced coffee…”
Hearing those words, Clana’s eyes began to tremble.

“You mean… after all, you’re going to disappear sooner or later, don’t you?”

“……..”

She asked, but Frey remained silent, just staring at Clana.

“Fray… I… I…”

But Clana knew the answer to the question she had asked.

“I’m sorry… ugh.”

That’s why Clana wanted to do what she had dreamed of for a long time, and what she wanted so much.

“Ugh…”

When he couldn’t open his mouth, he made only an unsightly moan.

I don’t know what happened, but even though it’s my last chance to apologize to the real Frey who appeared in
front of me.

And even though it’s the last chance to get forgiveness from him.

Do you have the right to apologize to yourself? The guilt and remorse of whether she has the right to ask for
forgiveness after ruining the world and everything else has seized her ankles so strongly.

“Sin… sorry…!”

But if she doesn’t apologize here, she’ll go to hell and she’ll never apologize again to Frey, who will be in heaven.

So Clana tried her best to apologize to Frey, but…

“…it’s not your fault.”

Frey’s words that were warmer than the warmth that had been conveyed in her own hands wrapped around her.

“That’s what you said when you found me lost in the woods and lying on the floor, crying out loud, even at the
end of your will.”

“Ahhh…”

“But looking at what you’re doing now, it seems you’ve forgotten those words.”

Saying that, Frey increased the power of the star’s mana output and put Clana’s hand to rest, which was starting
to twitch again.

“No… Frey…”

Clana, who had a blank expression for a moment at Frey’s consideration, shook her head and said.

“This is my fault, not anyone else’s… It’s my fault… I killed you… Serena-san also died because of me.”

“From now on, listen carefully to what I say. Princess.”

As Clana began to panic again, Frey cut her off and began to speak in a soft voice.

“It was me who killed you in the previous episode, it was me who ruined the world, and it was me who deceived
you in this episode.”

“……..”

“The world is unreasonable, it’s not that you were bad. So…”

“…you died, and a lot happened.”

When Clana interrupted Frey and started talking, Frey stopped what she was saying and began to listen quietly
to her.

Based on my experience so far, it was because I knew it was best to simply listen quietly in a situation like this.

“The demon king’s ridicule and declaration of war were broadcast throughout the empire through loudspeaker
magic. As a result, within a few days, all the people of the empire learned the truth.”

As she said, all the people of the Empire were in shock for a while.

It was because they realized that Frey, whom they hated and hated so much, was in fact the only warrior to
protect the world, and that he had continued to sacrifice himself for the world.

The Demon King, who had been laughing at Frey as he was just a foolish and dull idiot, even gave the Empire a
month to prepare.

However, the Sunrise Empire just took such a humiliating treatment.

Because there were still three people with the memories of the previous episode.

It was not enough to ruin the empire, because the emperor, the empress, and their children who were deceived
by the demon king all died the moment the demon king’s power was fully awakened.

And since there were three people left with memories of the previous round, they thought that if they prepared
enough, there would be a chance of success.

However, the reality was not so easy.

“In the beginning, we won a few victories… Me, Kania, and Irina had experienced the previous rounds. Of
course, they knew the strategies, tactics, and information of the Demon King.”

“That’s right.”

“But… as the sun went out, everything started to change.”

When the sun, which was supposed to always shine brightly, went out helplessly, people were in shock.

And when the moonlight and starlight that they thought would comfort them that night disappeared, people
despaired.

Apart from the moon shining in the sunlight, I thought that the star debt would illuminate them.

However, just as a star hero could not be revived, so did the starlight never come back to life, and thus the
empire fell into darkness.

“As the sun went down, a severe cold hit the continent. Then the weapons froze, and the people began to wear
out.”

“….Well.”

“And the day my sun’s mana was gone, I realized. The Empire, that’s all.”

When Clana’s sun’s mana disappeared, people saw it as a sign of destruction.

As a result, the number of people who trusted the imperial family gradually decreased, and the same was true of
the military.

“In the end, the Demon King led the Demon King’s army to the capital, and I gave up protecting the Empire.

After speaking up to that point, Clana took a moment to catch her breath, and then she said with tears in her
eyes.

“I’m sorry, Frey.”

“So, no need to apologize…”

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

Frey, who was about to say that there is no need to be sorry, stopped what she was going to say and closed her
eyes quietly as she listened to Clana’s voice filled with sorrow and sincerity.

“When the demon king’s sarcastic voice resounded throughout the empire for days, when the sun went out
helplessly, and… when the army of the demon king came to the capital, there is something I really want to say to
you.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry for not knowing. I’m really sorry for not noticing your sacrifice and pure heart…”

Clana, who finally succeeded in handing Frey the apple she had only dreamed of and thought she would never be
able to die, continued to shed tears.

“When the day comes… I will go with the few remaining Imperial Knights to stop the Demon King’s army.”

“…The Demon King?”

“Yeah, the people of the Empire still remain in the port. If they can last a few more hours or even a few more
minutes… Of course they should.”
“Sigh…”

Hearing this, Frey took a deep breath.

“wake up.”

“Yes?”

“I have a place to go.”

Having said that, Frey, who threw the robe at all, slowly got up from his seat.

“Uh, where are you going…?”

“Just follow me.”

“Goo, I have to join the army. If you go too far…”

“I’m arriving soon, so I guess I’ll follow you.”

Clana, who had a bewildered expression on her face, immediately bowed her head in response when Frey spoke
with a firm voice.

“Yeah. If you want… I’ll do anything.”

Clana’s hand was trembling intermittently as she said that.

“When did that tremor start?”

“From that day… from the day I found out all the truth…”

Frey, who looked at her hand with a sad expression, reached out to her when Clana was about to have a seizure
again.

“Ah, ah…”

Eventually, the mana of the star, which had become stronger than before, seeped into her hand, and Clana
stopped shaking with a small moan.

“…I’ll hold your hand.”

Frey, who looked at Clana with pity, gently took Clana’s hand.

Of course, Frey’s hand couldn’t reach Clana because of his spirit state.

However, for some reason, Frey wrapped the mana of a star that could be used even in the midst of trials in his
hands, so Clana could feel the feeling of holding hands with Frey.

“I’m holding hands with you, so please don’t do the same thing as before.”

“…All right.”

Clana answered that way, and cautiously got up from her seat.

“good bye.”

“…?”

Before leaving the store, Clana greeted the store owner who had let her in.

Although he was sleeping on the second floor, it seemed obvious that he would soon die like himself.

Nevertheless, Clana nodded and put the gold coin in her pocket.

“…let’s go.”

And Clana, who was looking around the store shyly, found something behind the counter and went outside with a
sad expression on her face.

What was there was a broken family picture.

. . . . .

Shoo…!

“Ugh…”

A cold wind hits Clana.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah… it’s fine.”

But despite this, Clana struggles to clench her teeth and move on.

Sharr…

“…Ah.”

Frey, who watched the scene, quietly moved his hand and wrapped Clana with the magic of the stars. Then, a
warm warmth began to wrap around Clana.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

Clana looks at Frey with a slightly puzzled look, and he asks with a soft smile.

“Ah…”

One question from Frey, who was worried about him, started to awaken Clana’s guilt that had been put to sleep
again.

“You… you can’t feel the cold or the warmth. But…”

At that, Frey grinned and gently placed her hand on Clana’s head and said.

“But you can feel the cold and the warmth, right?”

With that said, Frey cast the star magic once more, and flashes of warm stars began to swirl around her.

“Why, why are you doing this…?”

“Yes?”

Thanks to this, Clana, who felt warmth both physically and mentally after a long time, bowed her head and asked
a question.

“Why are you being nice to me?”

Even if it was something she didn’t know, even if it was unavoidable, Clana had already gotten used to the cold
and resentful gaze that was pouring on her without knowing it or not.

That’s why he didn’t understand the warmth that Frey gave to him, who deserved that kind of gaze more than
anyone else.

“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m just following along. We’re almost there.”

Frey, who smiled at Clana like that, continued to move forward, leading Clana.

“…Huh?”

At that moment, Clana realized where she was heading, and opened her mouth with trembling eyes.

“Here… this is…”

“Yeah, it’s the forest where I got lost while looking for star primroses.”

Frey, who spoke softly to Clana, smiled and went into the woods.

“Did you know? This is the place where the hero of a thousand years ago made an oath with the princess of that
time and the daughter of the Moonlight family.”

“Hawk, I swear…”

“Yes, the old promise that bound the three families for a thousand years.”

Having said that, Frey continued, creating a small sphere from his hand.

“And from that day on, rare flowers bloom once a year in this forest.”

A moment later, a sphere of twinkling starlight rose from his hand, and Frey blew it forward and smiled.

“You know what it is.”

“All, the evening primrose… the star primrose… and…”

“…the primrose flower.”

Where the sphere of starlight that flew forward was shining, there was a sunrise flower that had bloomed
through the thick snow.

“Hey, how’s that…”

“It’s a present. A gift for you, who gave me the star primrose and the evening primrose for Serena.”

“iced coffee…”

It didn’t matter that I got out of the store and reached the forest a few minutes after I started walking.

It didn’t matter why the primrose flower, which is said to bloom only after seeing the sun, bloomed through the
thick snow.

Clana just shed tears as she quietly took the sunrise flower that bloomed lonely in front of her eyes.

“It is said that the flowers that are created under the influence of the pact made by the three families have
special powers.”

Frey, who stared at her like that and then started to lead Clana to the place where the flowers were, began to
talk in a soft voice.

“So many people were looking for flowers, but for some reason no one had that power.”

As Frey stopped saying that, Clana, who had a blank expression on her face, unknowingly began to stretch out
her hand to the flower of the sunrise.

“Of course. Those flowers are the arrangement our ancestors left us for the future.”

“Ugh…!”

Eventually, as her hand touched the primrose flower, a dazzling light began to drift over her.

It was the sunlight that Clana longed for and missed.

Grip Jijik…!

“Heh, heh heh… heh…”

Clana, who gave her hand with a hopeful expression, burst into tears without realizing it when the mana of the
sun overflowed from her hand.

“It may only last about a day, but that will be helpful when fighting the Demon King.”

“Go, thank you… Thank you… Huge…”

Clanna could no longer think rationally.

It is because the sadness, suffering, guilt, and despair that had been buried in my heart for the past few years
mixed together and began to burst out all at once.

“Thank you ooh… Really, really, thank you… Thank you…”

She no longer thought about face.

He didn’t even try to calm his mind.

He just burst out with the emotions he had been hiding for so long, and told the truth to Frey in front of him.

“I need you… Frey… I, I… I need you so much…”

“Princess.”

“It was only when you disappeared… that the Empire needed you, not me, and that it was Serena-san…”

Crying to an incomparable amount to anything before, Clana said mournfully.

“Is there really no way… to bring you back to life…? Please… I’ll give my life… I’ll sell my soul to the devil if I
need to… I’ll be tormented in hell for the rest of my life, please how.” If there is, please let me know…”

“………”

But even so, Frey just stood still and looked at Clana.

“……Thank you, Frey.”

Clana, who had been crying for such a long time, suddenly stopped crying and opened her mouth.
“For giving me the gift I needed more than anything else.”

She would only realize.

“With the power you gave me, I will save even one more person.”

that the time for farewell has come.

“so……..”

Surr…

Clana said while looking at Frey who was disappearing with a happy smile.

“……Goodbye, my first servant.”

As soon as those words were finished, Frey became a piece of starlight and began to scatter.

“………..Ah?”

Clana, who had unintentionally reached out to the fragment of the star he had left smiling at her until recently,

“Here…?”

He soon realized he was lying in bed.

“Fah, Frey…! Where’s Frey?”

And, realizing that the warm sunlight was shining through the window next to her, Clana began to shout with an
urgent voice.

“What’s going on? Princess?”

“Freya…! Freygaa…!”

Clana woke up in her pajamas with a pale, tired face, and tried to say something to the servant who had a
bewildered expression on her face, but…

“…what?”

“Princess?”

“Ummm… that’s…”

Soon after, he began to tilt his head with a blank expression on his face.

“Have you ever had a nightmare?”

“Ah… I think so.”

When the servant asked the question anxiously, Clana, who had quietly nodded her head, suddenly muttered
inwardly.

‘…Have you ever had a nightmare about Frey?’

The warm morning sun was shining on her.

EPISODE 78

“…whoah.”

A few days before Clana came to Frey’s tombstone, a girl was walking down a snow-covered road in a thick
overcoat.

“cold.”

The girl who frowned and muttered as the bitter wind that had made Clana painful blew, unconsciously began to
give strength to her whole body.

“…Oh right, aren’t you coming now?”

But nothing happened.

The flash of light that was once a miracle had faded away like a lie with the death of the hero.

Shoo…

Thanks to this, the girl, who had been blown away by the ice-cold wind all over her body, nevertheless clenched
her teeth and started walking forward.

“Hey… is there anyone there?”

The girl, who had been walking like that, soon realized that a light was on in a bar and held out her head.

“Oh, little girl?”

“…Hello.”

Eventually, a woman came out of the store and opened her mouth, and the little boy greeted him with a dark
expression.

“…What are you doing?”

While fiddling with the last of the gold coins her savior had given her a few years ago in her pocket, the girl
looked at the menu and found the woman busy behind the counter doing something.

“What is it, packing up?”

“Are you going to leave this empire too?”

When the girl asked a question with a complicated expression, the woman sighed and answered.

“Then, we have to leave. The hero to kill the Demon King is gone, and the Demon Lord’s army is on the way… If
you keep staying here, you’re going to die, right?”

“…….Yes.”

The girl, who quietly nodded at her words, soon began to look intently at the broken picture next to the counter.

“Are you curious about that?”

“Ah, that’s…”

“It’s a family photo.”

The woman who quietly looked down at the picture muttered with a sad expression on her face.

“…a year ago when the news came that the husband and son in this picture had died in the war, they threw the
whole album and it was like this.”

“Ah…”

Seeing the woman telling such a sad story quite calmly, the girl quietly lowered her head.

“…that’s nice, to grieve for others.”

The woman, who had been stroking her hair as if she was cute, said as she headed for the exit with her luggage.

“You can take out whatever’s in this store and eat it.”

“But…”

“I’m leaving this empire today anyway, so it’s okay.”

With that said, the woman opened the door leading out, and the girl pointed to the picture and said:

“Aren’t you going to take that?”

Then the woman answered with a sad smile.

“It’s because I don’t want to take sad memories with me.”

After saying that, the woman left the pub and started walking slowly down the snowy street.

“……..”

The girl, who had been looking at the woman’s back for a while, carefully took out the bread from the shelf and
took a bite.

“Fuhe…”

The bread was frozen solid.

“Ugh…”

Thanks to this, the girl, who had been warming herself in the store while stroking her chin for a while, came out
of the bar as soon as her body started to warm up to some extent.

Tub Tub

After that, the girl who had been walking silently for a long time arrived at the place where Frey was born.

“You clearly said…”

After looking around for a while, the girl who found Frey’s tombstone began to speak in a dark voice.

“… soon the world will praise the hero.”

The world did not praise the warrior.

I just felt sympathy for that noble deed and felt sorry for it, and was engulfed in sorrow.

“……..”

The girl, who had been watching Frey’s tombstone for a long time, who had now stopped visiting, quietly took
the ring out of the ring finger of her left hand and whispered.

“…Good night, warrior.”

Saying that, Glare, who put the sparkling ring under the tombstone of the hero, left the tombstone with a single
tear in her eyes.

For some reason, it was the moment when the variable that could change everything, which Frey could not see
because the ordeal of the system could not capture it, completely disappeared.

. . . . .

“…ha, it’s finally over.”

As Clana disappeared in front of me, darkness enveloped me.

And, at that moment, the number floating in front of me changed to 0.

[You have cleared the second trial!]

“…uhh.”

I tried to push down the system window with a frown on my face, but now it doesn’t even push it.

‘Damn the system bastard.’

After shaking my head and swearing at the system that continued to follow me, I sighed and lay down on the
floor.

“I want to see meow…”

Whenever I am mentally exhausted, I remember the cat doll that used to lick me.

At first, it was a cat doll with an arrogant expression on her face and refused to even touch her stomach, but
things changed after they got to know each other quite a bit.

When I wake up feeling wet while sleeping, it’s like carefully licking my face and making a meow.

If I happen to have a nightmare, they send me a nyangnyang punch to wake me up.

Sometimes on the way, it makes a long meow, then digs into my clothes, turns it on, and then goes to sleep.

If I had a depressed expression, I would lie down on my stomach and look at me with a look of anticipation.

In that way, it greatly helped my mental recovery, so now the guy and I have an inseparable relationship.

‘If possible, I wanted to play with Kania.’

Kaniani, who received such a cute cat as a gift from her sister, is sure to like it quite a bit.

But when I think about how grown-up we all play with dolls, it’s a little strange, but Kania, once falling asleep,
hardly wakes up these days.

Of course, when I tried to wake her up, I was jealous, or the cat bit my ankle, so I didn’t do much to wake her up.

[The first clear reward starts now.]

“…Yes, it should be.”

Because of this mad ordeal, I have spent several months in this world of trials.

Of course, there is a message that the time in trials and the time in reality are different, so when you open your
eyes like the last time, months will not pass…

‘…Well, are you glad that it ended in a few months?’

There was a gap of several years from the junction where I died to the time when Clana was before.

And as I crossed that gap, I went about releasing the burden of the hearts of those who were dear to me.

Yes.

The second ordeal of the system was to directly experience the bad ending and at the same time save the
heroines who were ruined by the bad ending.

Thanks to this, I searched for heroines by visiting different parts of the empire… and even to the western and
eastern continents.

On the day of the turning point, it ran so much that it no longer needed life supply, and managed to stop the run
at Serena’s sacrifice, but after that day, she was drenched in sorrow and went to visit Kania, who lived like a
scoundrel.

I went to visit Irina, who lost her old ego, pride, and even a gun.

I went to see Perloche, where I had accumulated a sense of guilt for not saving me and went to the brink of
corruption.

After quitting the academy teacher, getting drunk and spending every day, I went to visit Isolette, who was
killing time by looking at the sword and letter I had given her.

In addition to that, Lulu, who suffered the misfortune of failing several suicide attempts, and Aris, who was half-
mad, and Arianne, who was living with guilt while caring for Irina.

And among them, the meeting with Arya and the meeting with Serena in a spirit state… no matter how hard it
is…

“…Calm down. This didn’t really happen.”

After all, this is just an ordeal that the system shows me.

It only shows one possibility that could have happened, but after this ordeal, I will return to a world where there
is still a possibility of giving everyone a happy ending.

so…

Shoo…

“…Well?”

The darkness that surrounded me suddenly began to fade.

As I was looking around to see what was going on, the scene suddenly started to change.

“…Yes?”

I was frowned upon by such an anomaly, and suddenly a huge crowd began to enter my view.

“You’re the Demon King…”

The demon king army, which I saw in the previous episode, is trembling just by looking at it, is advancing.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

Bubbly Bubbly!!!

A fierce battle was taking place in front of the Demon King’s army, which continued to advance in that way.

“Even if we lose, there’s no more hope! Stop that damn bitch…”

Quad Duk…!

“Damn, boss!!”

The uninhabited man of the eastern continent, who spit out qi from his body and hurled power at the Demon
King’s army, was cut in half in an instant.

“……Uh-huh.”
The Demon King, who had dealt with the commanders of the death squads that had gathered from all over the
continent to stop the Demon King’s army, with just the movement of his fingers, began to yawn with a bored
expression on his face.

“I wanted a hot fight. However, seeing that the leader of the gangs was so weak that he fell… It seems like he’s
worn out.”

Saying that, the demon lord swung his fingers as if he was commanding, and a terrible scream began to be
heard.

““………””

Even the Demon King is at a loss for words and remains silent in the brutal scene created by blood and intestines
flying around, mixing together, and bones and flesh exploding from all directions.

“……Is that a special move?”

“A special move? I was just playing with my fingers quickly.”

The Demon King, who answered Dmir Khan’s question with a calm expression, said with a smile.

“If I use my special move here, the demon lord army behind me will be annihilated. Do you still want me to use
my special move?”

“no.”

When Dmir Khan, who was timid, quickly responded to that, the Demon King began to laugh, as if it was too
funny.

“It’s a joke.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Even the Demon Lord is…”

“If you use space magic to run away with all your might, it won’t be annihilation.”

After the demon lord had finished saying those words, he waved his fingers to see if his arm hurt, and the
terrible scream stopped for a moment.

“…Awesome, really.”

When Dmir Khan, who was blankly watching the horrific scene unfolding before his eyes, spoke with a trembling
voice, the Demon King said with a gloomy expression on his face.

“Again, I wanted a hot fight. Not this lukewarm fight.”

Having said that, the Demon King yawned once again, and then began to speak in a low voice.

“If it was Frey, we could have had a pretty interesting fight.”

“Is that so…?”

“That’s right. When I saw him, his strength was beyond my imagination.”

“To what extent… mean?”

“Probably, except for me, I would have been the strongest on the entire continent.”

Having said that, the demon lord muttered in an annoyed voice.

“Ew… even if there were no restrictions on fighting.”

‘…Now, what’s that bastard talking about?’

And I, who was listening to their conversation, began to be bewildered by the unexpected story.

‘Have you seen me…?’

He just said that my strength was beyond imagination. Besides, he even said that he would have been the
strongest in the entire continent if he excluded himself.

It’s not that I’m talking roughly, but if you see what I’m saying with certainty… And if you say ‘when I see you’, it
means that that guy has met me before.

‘But… does that make sense?’

As far as I know, the Demon King cannot escape from the ‘Demon King’s Castle’ unless the rite of using the
‘Sacrifice Magic Circle’ is successful and the seal is released.
Therefore, through the ‘Main Quest’, it is necessary to prevent the demon king from coming out of the demon
king’s castle by blocking the activation of the ‘sacrificial magic circle’ and waking up the warrior’s armor and
attacking the demon king castle. is a strategy

But, how did the demon king see me?

As for my face, the second person could have shown it in a photo when I was a member of the Demon King’s
army, but if I knew my strength in detail, the story would be different.

‘Maybe… Did you succeed in the sacrificial magic circle and come out?’

For a moment, I thought about the possibility that the Demon King had already come out, and then I shook my
head.

If she had come out, the whole continent should have already been on fire.

All of the main heroines, including me, are demon kings who can’t win even if they attack in a perfect state, but
there’s no way they’re going to go out and hide.

‘…By the way, the moment I died, the Demon King declared war.’

But, based on all the evidence… She seems to be out now.

Otherwise, there would be no way for the woman in the Demon Castle to notice my death and declare war
immediately.

‘Damn… my head hurts already.’

When I asked why the scene where the demon king ended the world was a reward, I guess that’s why it was a
reward.

Because it taught me quite a lot of new facts about the Demon King.

‘Not only that… but also gained quite a lot from this ordeal.’

When I was in a soul state, there were times when I could see the world from a third person point of view.

From Kania to Irina, and from Arya to Isolet.

It was quite messy, but the point of going back and forth regularly was fixed on her for a long time after Serena
appeared.

And, even more surprising than that… Every time the perspective changed like that, I was able to feel my inner
feelings to some extent.

Of course, the lines and feelings that seemed important to anyone were crushed and could not be felt well.

But… there was one line that could be completely inferred from among those crushed lines.

…God, …God will wake up.

‘… no matter how much you think about it, what Perloche said at that time was [the demon will awaken.], right?’

The system guy seemed to hate giving me useful information, but thanks to the ‘half-drinking’ code that Perloche
left in his diary, he was able to infer information from the ordeal.

Thanks to that, I feel like I’ve been feeding a nasty system with a shot, so it’s quite refreshing.

[End of the second trial.]

“…what the.”

As I was thinking about it, the system popped up a short message as if it was bewildering.

It’s not been a day or two that the system has been dull, but I think this may have crossed the line a bit.

Even though it’s the ‘first’ reward, such a short conversation is over.

Seriously, as Seonjo said, it’s a bummer…

Grip Jijijik!

“…what, what?”

As I was thinking about it, the world suddenly began to shake.

“…Well?”
And at the same time, something started to shine in the arms of the Demon King.

“Demon Lord? What is that?”

“This is… a scroll I bought a long time ago.”

“…Yes?”

Then, Dmir Khan began to make a bewildered expression, and the Demon King began to make an interesting
expression.

“Why did you have such a thing until now?”

“It was the first scroll that I couldn’t interpret, so I was intrigued.”

“Damn lord, you just couldn’t interpret such an old scroll?”

While Dmir Khan asked with a frown at those words, the Demon King began to speak in an excited voice.

“Oh, this is finally working. No matter how much I tried for the past few years, it didn’t work.”

And at that point, I started to feel weird.

‘…Why can’t the ordeal end?’

Clearly, the system declared the second trial over. But why is the ordeal not over?

[Fatal Error Occurred! Updating the system […]

“…Eh?”

As I was thinking about it, a red system window suddenly appeared in front of me.

Grip Jijik!

“…what?”

And only then, I was able to find out that the demon king was not visible for some reason.

‘Why didn’t I notice this?’

Come to think of it, even when I finally met the Demon King in the previous round, and even when I rushed to
her and made a comeback, I did not recognize the Demon King’s appearance.

I don’t know for sure, but maybe there was some kind of cognitive impairment magic on it?

If so, why did I suddenly find out about it now?

Phage hey hey!!

As I was thinking about it, all of a sudden, a twinkling flash of light began to emanate from the scroll.

“……Ah?”

And at that moment, I saw.

The ruby-colored eyes of the demon king who looked down at the scroll with an interesting expression.

[Complete system error correction! End the trial.]

But the next moment, a red system window appeared in front of me and everything started to turn black.

“…what is that?”

The last thing I saw before I lost consciousness was the blackened sun.

. . . .

“Ummm…”

As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling.

‘…Long time no see.’

Apparently, I’m lying in my room in the Starlight Mansion right now.

“So…”

I looked at my clean room with no toxic gas or fire with joy, then felt a sense of popularity and looked to the side
with a hardened expression on my face.

Boom! Boob!!

“…hehehe!”

And at that moment, fireworks exploded.

I was startled because of it, so someone offered me a cake.

“…what are you guys doing now?”

While staring blankly at the cake decorated with a cat I had seen somewhere, I found Kania and Irina holding
firecrackers while wearing birthday hats in front of me, and asked with a puzzled expression.

“That’s it, so today is…”

“Today is the master’s birthday.”

“what?”

Then Irina looked me in the eye and stuttered, while Kania said with a soft smile.

“Happy birthday, Master.”

The day the second ordeal ended was a week after the attack on the Starlight Mansion.

EPISODE 79

“So… I’ve been lying in bed for a week?”

“Yes… you did.”

The months that the system went through were only a week in reality.

However, it is fortunate that it is not applied 1:1.

“By the way… how did you know I was going to wake up?”

“The master’s unconscious was fading early this morning, so we were preparing in advance.”

“…ho-ho.”

When I woke up, I was curious about the secret to having all the preparations for the birthday party, so when I
asked, Kania answered as if it wasn’t a big deal.

Also, Kania seems really talented.

“By the way, this cake…”

“This is a cake I ordered in advance. Do you like it?”

“…I really like it.”

Seeing the silver cat and the black cat running around on the cake, I feel a little relieved.

It would have been perfect if we all got together and had a birthday party like in that dream, but that’s close to
impossible, so I’ll have to be content with Kania and Irina.

“Uh… Master. Would you like to try blowing later?”

“What is it, a magic candle?”

As I was thinking about it, Kania put a candle on it and lit it. Seeing the subtle aura from the candle, it seems to
be a high-quality product with a calming scent when blown away.

“….. Whoa.”

Blowing out the candles and inhaling the gentle scent that rises makes you feel as if you are lying leisurely on a
vast meadow.

“Thank you, guys.”

With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes and gave my sincere thanks to Kania and Irina.

“It would have been really difficult without you guys. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been eating cake alone by
now.”
Having said that, I picked up the knife next to me and cut the cake into bite-size pieces in an instant.

“…Thank you, Master.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Eventually, as I handed out each piece of cake, Kania calmly and Irina blushed to thank them.

‘…I’m glad that’s not the reality.’

Seeing them like that, the memories of meeting them in the ordeal begin to come to mind without me knowing.

It was the moment when Kania, who had been living a devastated life, suffering from the guilt of not being able
to save me every moment and the desire to destroy the world, bursts into tears as soon as she sees me.

The moment Irina, who had been so sincere that even Arianne could not recognize, saw me, her eyes became
clear and she burst into tears.

“Bocchan? Why are you like that?”

“Frey, are you okay?”

When I think of such scenes, I frown. Thanks to that, Kania and Irina asked a question with a very worried
expression.

“Oh, no. It’s just… I remember the ordeal.”

I tried to say it with a face that it wasn’t a big deal, but Irina’s expression turned pale again.

“F, Frey… How was the ordeal? Was it very hard?”

“It wasn’t hard at all. Just…”

“…But to say the least, the sleep talk you’ve been talking about in the past is just a spectacle.”

I spoke in a soft voice to calm her down, but Kania, who was next to me with an expressionless expression, cut
me off.

“Master, what happened?”

“Um… that’s…”

“Of course, if you don’t want to be remembered, you don’t have to talk about it. It’s just…”

Kania looked at Irina, who was next to her for a moment, then sighed and answered.

“Looking at the various behaviors and emotions Irina-san showed during the week while the master was asleep, I
thought that if she didn’t talk, Irina-san’s mind would soon go out.”

With that said, Kania pointed at Irina, her eyes trembling with anxiety and guilt.

“Well, it was nothing…”

As Irina looked like her in trials and tribulations, I had no choice but to start the conversation.

“I just experienced what it would have been like if I had died in the mansion, and I met people who felt guilty
about me day by day. That’s all. It took only a week at most.

“…they said it would take several months this time.”

“Anyway, it really wasn’t a big deal. Look, you’re fine, aren’t you?”

I said that with a smile, but Irina’s expression was unusual.

“Then… I want to get out of here now, it’s the worst, please don’t do it… Why did you keep saying those dark
words in your sleep?”

“that…”

“The ordeal is… so painful. I didn’t even know that… I…”

While muttering like that, Irina was crying and thinking about what to say, but Kania, who was quietly observing
the situation, intervened.

“Irina-san. You can even go there.”

“But…”
“I understand Irina-san’s concern, but today is the master’s birthday. So, let’s talk about this gloomy story later.”

Upon hearing this, Irina quietly nodded her head, then grabbed my hand and said,

“…you worked hard, Frey.”

“Yes…”

For some reason, it seemed that Kania was staring at me coldly, so I answered with a shaky tail, and asked for a
piece of cake that had been cut into several pieces in front of me.

“Ah… sweet. As expected, sweet is the best. Serena was right…”

“Master. The master’s birthday party is going to be held in a few days.”

“Puffy!!”

She was savoring a cake that was so sweet that she almost turned her eyes when she offered it to Serena, when
a shocking news came from Kania’s mouth.

“Collock, Colloc. Ugh…”

“Master, are you okay?”

Thanks to her, the cake she was eating got stuck on her neck, and Kania handed her a glass of water next to her.

“Kanya, didn’t you just tell me to stop talking dirty?”

“Uh… didn’t you always like birthday parties?”

When I asked, who felt more comfortable after drinking the water, Kania asked with a puzzled expression.

“Oh… I didn’t know. I hate birthday parties so much.”

“Yes?”

“…who likes a feast with no one to truly congratulate, and a swarm of people who despise or take advantage of
it?”

“Ah…..”

Hearing those words, Kania quietly bowed her head.

Well, in the previous episode, I always had a big smile and debauchery at every birthday party… Anyone would
think I would like a birthday party.

smart

“I’m here to clean…”

As I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door.

“Ah, hello…”

“Luru?”

“…Hey.”
Lulu, dressed as a maid, who came in after opening the door, saw me awake and began to tremble pale
and tired.

“Come in later.”

“Ah, yes… yes…”

I spoke to her coldly and kicked her out of the room, then sighed and said.

“Did you follow the instructions I gave you?”

“Yes, it went smoothly.”

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s good.”

After hearing Kania’s words, I, with a satisfied smile, laid back on the bed and started listening to her
briefing.

“According to the master plan, employees who were kicked out of the mansion during vacation will receive
the same expenses as when they worked on the name of vacation pay, and common students who will be
dismissed from temporary employees as of today will receive huge compensation.”

“Then, all I have to do now is to act resentful.”

“Yes, it is.”

As Kania said, from the beginning, I had a plan to give money to commoner students.

As a result of having Kania do a background check, half of the common students are suffering from
poverty and are unable to eat properly.

And, among them, a quarter of them are unable to treat their sick sibling or parents because they do not
have money.

Not only this. Most of the students do not have the money to buy expensive textbooks from Sunrise
Academy, so they save up a little bit of money to buy textbooks and return them.

It is common for students who cannot afford to attend school excursions in the second semester, and at
lunchtime every day, they are forced to fill their stomachs with gourmet food from the academy’s
cafeteria.

Since they are like that, in this test, they endured the humiliation of being a maid and a servant according
to my orders.

Because class A of the academy is exempted from tuition.

Although it is a Sunrise Academy full of corruption, the A-class tuition waiver is a long-standing tradition
that has continued for 1000 years, so even the dean has no choice but to take his hand.

In other words, everything that isn’t that old-fashioned tradition has been ripped off and fixed by the
dean.

In any case, in conclusion, students of commoners desperately need financial support.

However, the grim reality of the current Sunrise Empire is that there are no rules, institutions, or
institutions that provide money to commoners.

So, I will give money to commoners by forcing them to work in my mansion.

“Kania, is the ‘Employee Welfare Rule’ that your father made up still valid?”

“Yes, it is.”

Hearing that, I smiled quietly.

My father, who was usually interested in the welfare of his employees, made quite complex yet powerful
rules.

And among those rules, I will use the rules for employees’ leave and the rules for employees’ dismissal.

“…Kania, how did the special exam go?”

“In order to minimize the aftermath of this incident, it has been canceled by the imperial family. Thanks to
that, the number of people in Class A will remain the same.”

I was worried that Clana, who had arrived at the scene of the incident, would have eliminated all
commoners except me, but fortunately, the test was canceled because of the mansion raid a week ago.

In fact, the ‘rules by which the commander can decide who is eliminated’, which she put in to make a
minimum check when she failed to kill me… It’s a natural step since this incident also raised concerns
about weakening security.

“Okay, that’s fine. Then I’ll have to go ahead with what I’ve been planning.”

Having said that, I got up from my seat, stretched out, and headed for the door.

“Are the common people still in the mansion?”

“Yes, yes. The news that the special exam was canceled was announced today, so commoners were waiting
in the mansion.”

“How did you make up my alibi?”

“Yeah, common students know that the master ignoring the special exam rules and went on an overseas
trip and returned today.”

“Good job. Then tell everyone to gather on the first floor.”

Saying that, I was about to go outside, but something came to my mind.

[Second reward…….]

“…go away.”

I was about to do something important, but I immediately removed the system window that got stuck in
without notice, and realized that the word ‘second reward’ had passed, and sighed.

‘I’ll have to check later…’

It’s true that the system’s rewards and abilities are helpful, but recently, just looking at that ugly system
makes me very annoyed.

If the second reward, which we will check later, is bad, we will not look at the system except for using the
point investment system in the future.

“I, there… Now if I go in…”

“You follow me too.”

“Huh…!”

As I left the room with that thought in mind, I grabbed Lulu’s arm, who was trembling with anxiety
outside the room, and started to drag him.

“Uh, where are you going…?”

“Okay, follow me.”

When I dragged Lulu, who had a bewildered expression on her face, down to the first floor, some
commoner students had already been called in and were looking at me with hostile eyes.

In a way, it is natural to believe that I, who was considered the best idiot in the empire and sexually
harassed female students, put myself in danger and went on an overseas trip casually.

“…I have news for you guys.”

I, who was accepting their gaze so calmly, started talking with a sad expression on my face when all the
students gathered in the lobby on the first floor.

“The special exam has been cancelled. Our class will remain the same for the next semester.”

Hearing these words, the faces of the common people brightened.

After all, what could be more joyous than the news that they won’t be kicked out of Class A for those who
are suffering from poverty?
“So… Now everyone get out of our house.”

However, the commoners who listened to my continued expression began to look cold again, as if they had
ever done so.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”

I looked at them again with a ridiculous expression and started talking with a frown on my face.

“Why did you work in hopes of being rewarded? I fed you for free and put you to sleep, aren’t you too
conscientious?”

“But… you must sign the contract when you come here…”

“What?”

Then one student crawled out, and I raised my voice and said:

“What is a contract?”

“That’s… On the first day we came to this mansion, we signed the Gyeak Book…”

“So what’s that contract?!”

As I turned my back, the student who stood in front of me started sweating.

“Master. I’ll explain that.”

And at that point, Kania quietly looked at me and intervened.

“I handed out the contract to the students on the first day they arrived.”

“What?”

“According to the rules on the employment of servants established by Abraham Raon Starlight, the owner
of the Starlight Mansion and the original head of this place…”

“Kania, are you going to play with me now?”

With that said, I approached Kania and exuded a ferocious aura.

“I am the head of the mansion now. My words are rules and laws. But, why are my father’s rules sticking
out?”

“The master is the temporary head of the family…”

Pair!!

Kania’s face twitched.

““……..””

And, silence fell in the lobby of the mansion.

“I told you not to climb.”

“…….sorry.”

Kania, with red handprints on her face, quietly bowed her head and apologized.

And, all the commoners looking at me are looking at me with contempt.

Of course, they seem to be taking care of their facial expressions, but to me, who has received a lot of
attention, I can clearly see the insides.

“I don’t need a contract or anything. Get out of our mansion right now.”

“But, Master, the rules that Abraham-sama made are compulsory under the imperial law and are also
subject to magical restrictions…”

“Then let’s keep them? Are you throwing my birthday party soon?”

He spoke to Kania, who had a troubled expression on her face, in an absurd voice. He was trying to ignore
the cold glances flying around him.
“I don’t know if the special exam is in progress, but now that the exam is over, I’m going to have a
birthday party at my house. But, if those guys who can’t cook and don’t work well fill the mansion… What
do you think my face will be like?”

“But the master’s birthday party is not held in this mansion, but somewhere else…”

“You know. My shadow friends. The birthday parties with them are held separately in my mansion every
year.”

Upon hearing this, the expression of the commoners hardened. Well, it’s good that I’ve heard stories
about my shadow friends, who were only rumored to be floating around.

Of course, it could be because he deliberately emphasized what he said so that the common people would
spread the rumors.

“But, Master… If you get rid of them now… Hmmmm…!”

“It doesn’t matter, so go all out. I’ll ask for a reward or a penalty, so eat and get out of it.”

When I knocked over Kania’s ship and looked at the commoners coldly, the commoners began to tremble.

Apparently, I’m very angry with my bad behavior.

“Kania-san! Are you okay!”

Unsurprisingly, Perloche, who was clenching her teeth, suddenly rushed to Kania and began to radiate
energy.

“I’ll treat you…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Saint!”

“Ah, ah, ah… That, that’s right!”

However, seeing Kania’s bewildered expression, Ferroche, who later recalled the fact that she was a
warlock vulnerable to sexual power, hurriedly pulled away from her and started looking at me.

“Fray! Stop this bullshit!”

“Evil?”

“Yes! How hard we worked! They kicked you out without being paid! Such unfair treatment is
unforgivable…”

“…let’s go, Perloche.”

“Yes, yes?”

As I was contemplating how to stop Perloche from unwittingly interfering with my plan to pay the
commoners a huge reward, Irina, who was next to her, began to whisper in a low voice.

“Irina-san! But…”

“Kania has a plan. So… let’s get out of here.”

“Ugh…”

Perloche, who had been pondering for a while at Irina’s words that followed, looked at me and slowly
backed away.

“Then, you’re going to ‘fire’ everyone here?”

And at that moment, Kania asked me a question with a meaningful voice.

“Yeah, they’re all fired.”

“Okay. Well then, I’ll do that.”

When I answered with a casual expression on her face, Kania nodded her head with a calm expression and
said while looking at the children.

“Yeah, that’s why… you were fired this hour. Please refer to the contract here for details.”
“Okay, so get it out quickly.”

“Why don’t you check the master too? The rules here are…”

“Okay. I’m not interested in the rules my old-fashioned father made.”

“…Okay. Then, I will guide the commoners.”

The moment Kania answered that and was about to leave the mansion with the commoners, I raised the
corner of my mouth and grabbed Lulu’s shoulder next to me.

“Wait… you stay.”

“Hey! Yes, yes?”

“I will keep your contract. I think it would be quite fun to use you as a toy when playing with my shadow
friends.”

Hearing this, Lulu’s expression turned pale, while the common people began to look disgusted.

“…let’s go.”

Eventually, as Kania mumbled softly, the commoners looked away from me one by one and slowly began to
leave the mansion.

“I, that, that… that means…”

“Don’t gossip, I’m cleaning my room.”

“Uhhhhhhhhhh…”

Seeing that, I sent Lulu, who was crying next to me, upstairs, and quietly fell into thoughts.

‘…God damn it.’

Actually, it wasn’t in my plan to catch Lulu today.

I also have a lot to worry about now, so I was going to do a background investigation with Kania after
giving me a huge amount of compensation that commoners who were unfairly dismissed today would get.

[Luru’s current emotions: suicidal thoughts/guilt/self-hatred]

“…Sigh.”

But as a result of just using the mind-reading skill, I couldn’t just let her go.

“I’ve grown to worry about it again…”

Before that incident, [I had no suicidal thoughts], I don’t know why it suddenly appeared. I guess I’ll have
to keep an eye on her in the future.

“Whoa…”

With that thought in mind, I looked around the lobby where I was playing slapstick with Kania, and I
started to smile at the thought of the huge compensation that commoners would soon receive, but…

“Fray Raon Starlight, are you there?”

“What?”

Suddenly someone knocked on the door and called me, so I frowned and walked forward.

“…what happened?”

Eventually, I opened the gate and asked a question with an annoyed expression on my face, but…

“It’s Hwang Myung.”

“Yes?”

Hearing the words spoken by the imperial servant, who was standing in front of the gate, he had no
choice but to open his mouth.

“…the imperial family has decided to host Frey’s birthday party.”

“……!”

“It is the Emperor’s consideration to spend close time with the 3rd Princess.”

It seems that my fate has a spell.

EPISODE 80

“What if… I was only trusting in the contract…”

“Should I find a part-time job right now…”

The common students who came out of the Starlight Mansion began to mumble with dark expressions.

This is because when I first entered the mansion, I trusted only the contract I wrote without knowing it,
and then I was kicked out without receiving any money.

They are outstanding enough to proudly enter Class A of Sunrise Academy, which has a long tradition, but
these problems are unavoidable.

It was at a time when the unwritten rule that one had to graduate from an academy in order to enter a
profitable job or guild was widespread in the Empire, so despite being in Class A, they could only do short-
term part-time jobs or hunt monsters.

Of course, their abilities are quite good, so you can make some money with those things. However, it
should not be forgotten that most of the students in Class A are boys or girls.

After giving out the hard-earned money to his family, and paying taxes according to the imperial tax
collection laws, the remaining money was always small.

Still, for the past few years, they have managed to survive by running around here and there, but they
spend a considerable amount of time with the Starlight family, which eventually causes fatal financial
problems for them.

“…Hey, guys. There’s still hope!”

Among the children in such a dark atmosphere, a female student stepped forward and started talking.

“According to this contract, in case of unilateral dismissal without fulfilling the contract deadline,
compensation is paid to the employer…”

“Hey, we all know that, right?”

“…Huh?”

However, the male student, who had been making a depressed expression since before, cut off those
words and sighed.

“Such a contract is useless for anything. Because everyone who judges it in the first place is on the side of
the aristocrats.”

“That, but…”

“Then go back to Frey and ask him? It would be nice if he was caught like Lulu and turned into a toy.”

“Oh, no…..”

The girl who understood the situation only after hearing that, sat down on the floor and started to cry.

“If I can’t find medicine this month… my brother is in danger…”

The nobles, including Frey, did not have enough money to spend in one day, so it was a dark and pitiful
situation where they could not get medicine for their younger brother, but the students watching the
situation quietly turned their attention.

No matter how good they are, they too have a sick family or are poor with no money to buy food right
away.

In other words, they couldn’t help the crying student in front of them, who were so weary of money that
everyone saved up a little bit of money to read each textbook.

“…Guys, I’ve decided.”

The girl, who had been weeping for a long time while being so unavoidable, said with a determined
expression on her face.

“I… I want to go back to the Starlight Mansion.”

“…What?”

Then the boy who had told the girl about the reality earlier said with a bewildered look on his face.

“It’s no use going back? Frey is going to invalidate that contract anyway. Even if you give him money, he’ll
use you as a prank…”

“If I can become a plaything and save my brother, I’ll be happy.”

The eyes of the girl who said that were full of determination too early for a young girl of her age to have.

“Come on, wait a minute! You can’t do that!!”

Among the common people who looked at her like that, Perloche came out with an urgent expression on
her face.

“I’ll help! If it were me, I would be able to fix him with all my might! Let’s go now! If we go now…”

“But the treatment of the saint is expensive.”

“…Yes?”

Hearing that, Perloche began to give a blank expression on her face, and the girl spoke with a dark
expression on her face.

“In order to receive blessings or treatment from the saint, you have to pay the denomination. This is a fact
that everyone here knows.”

With that said, the girl looked around, and the students quietly nodded their heads.

“Well, it can’t be…? Am I always giving free treatment?”

Such a reaction was incomprehensible to Perloche, who was always rewarded with free treatment without
receiving a penny.

“Are there any impersonators impersonating me around?”

So, she came up with the most rational inference she could draw.

For Perloche, who would normally just tilt his head and put a question mark on his face in this kind of
situation, it was truly a major development.

““……..””

However, the common students simply stared at Perloche like that quietly.

If that remark had been made by Frey or other nobles, they would have been despised or ridiculed.

But they were well aware of Perloche’s usual attitude toward them, and they knew her personality well.

So the commoners knew the truth, but no one dared to step forward.

If something goes wrong and the church takes revenge, it’s because their hard life is over.

“That’s right, impersonators are wandering around.”

“It was like that! Then, by any chance, do you know the identity of it!”

However, someone came up in front of Perloche and brought up the story.

“If you reveal your identity, I will immediately go with the church…!”

“It’s a church.”

Among the students who looked at themselves with eyes full of anxiety and worry, Aris, the representative
of the commoners, began to tell the truth to Perloche in a calm voice.

“Actually, I should call him a robber, not an impersonator.”

Hearing this, Perloche bruised, while some commoners quietly bowed their heads.

Because they too have experienced terrible memories that they will never want to experience again.

“If Mr. Perloche gives free medical treatment or provides protection, within a few days, the
denomination’s collection officer will visit him.”

“A collection officer…?”

“Yes, they get paid for Mr. Perloche’s treatment and protection.”

Hearing that, Ferroche began to mumble as if it was ridiculous.

“Oh my gosh… He’s been doing that from now on… The denomination is…”

“Perloche-sama?”

“Oh, no. Anyway! I understand what you mean!

As Perloche was about to head towards the church with a vigor, Aris shook her head and said.

“Even if the saint comes forward, it will be quiet for a while, but it will be more secretive and serious.
And, I will probably be kidnapped for telling you the truth.”

“……Ugh.”

At those words, Ferroche began to moan without saying anything.

“Hehe, thank you for your concern, Saint.”

“Ah…”

The girl who hugged her tightly said in a trembling voice.

“Don’t worry about me. Even if it’s Frey… would you even kill me?”

She said so, but the rumor that every Sunday a wagon loaded with corpses in black sacks came and went
in and out of Starlight’s mansion, stirred her fear.

“Everyone… Goodbye.”

However, because she had no choice but to save her younger sister, the girl tried to hide that fact, smiling,
and headed back to Frey’s mansion.

“Please wait.”

“Yes?”

Kania, who had gone somewhere for a while, stopped her.

“I don’t think there’s any reason to come back to work in our mansion.”

“What do you mean?”

The girl tilted her head in response to Kania’s relaxed expression, and Kania answered with a smile.

“Because there is going to be a reward for all of you.”

With that said, what Kania gave to everyone present was a statement with the amount of compensation.

“Hey, what is all this…?”

“This is a gold coin, not a silver coin, right?”

The common students, who received the statement without much expectation, began to widen their eyes
when they saw the dreadful amount printed on the paper.

“It is the sum of the penalty for your unfair dismissal and retirement expenses.”

As Kania calmly spoke to the common students once again, the students’ expressions began to harden.

Usually they should be happy at times like this, but when an amount of money they have never touched in
their life is suddenly paid out by Frey, who is rumored to be a villain, suspicion, anxiety and fear
outweighed happiness.
“Hey, how did this happen? How the hell is this possible?”

Thanks to this, among the confused students, the male student who had reminded the female student of
reality earlier asked a question in a trembling voice.

“I’ve never seen contracts between nobles and commoners properly kept like this… Maybe this is a trap,
isn’t it?”

“It’s a trap, but it’s not a trap for you.”

When a male student, who had had a toothache because of the contract fraud he had suffered several
times, expressed his doubts with a suspicious look, Kania started answering with a grin.

“It’s a trap I dug for Frey.”

As the commoners tilted their heads at those words, Kania slowly began to explain.

“The contract you signed is a contract based on the rules set by Abraham, the official head of the Starlight
family.”

“rule?”

“Yeah, a rule that can’t be broken legally… even magically.”

Saying that, Kania waved the contract paper, and a light magic circle came to mind.

“Abraham, who always valued trust with his employer, put various legal devices and magic in his contract
with him.”

“Well then…”

“Yes, no matter how much Frey, that amount of money has no choice but to compensate you.”

Hearing this, the commoners began to make bewildered faces.

As Kania finished speaking, the fact that this unimaginable amount of money had become theirs was
slowly starting to come to mind.

“Wait, Kania, you must have… were you planning all this?”

And at that point, Irina, who was noticing, naturally intervened.

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“You were the one who gave us the contract on the first day while putting on maid clothes and servant
clothes. It was you who told Frey never to show the contract.”

At those words, all the common students began to look at Kania.

“And… you were the one who triggered the magic that was in the contract after getting the confirmation
from Frey that you were going to ‘fire’ the common students today. Considering all this, you…”

“…Sigh.”

As Irina, who was drawing her acting skills to the limit, blurted out her words, Kania sighed and said to
the students who were looking at her with a hopeful expression.

“I just wanted to see you guys happy.”

Hearing these words, commoner students began to groan.

“You haven’t done anything great, so there’s no need to make those faces…”

“Kah, Kania! Thank you…!”

Kania, speaking calmly while looking at such students, began to make a troubled expression when a girl
who was able to get medicine for her sick sister burst into tears and hugged her.

“You, thanks to you… my younger brother… heck…”

“Whoa…”

Nevertheless, as the girl cried and muttered, Kania gave her a slightly dark expression and patted her.
“But… Kania. Are you really okay?”

“Yes?”

A student who saw such Kania asked her a question.

“If Frey knew we were given such a huge sum, he wouldn’t let you go…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

To the student, Kania answered with a bitter smile.

“I’ve already made up my mind.”

The commoners, who looked at the red handprints on Kania’s cheeks and the stomach that they were
constantly stroking with their hands, whether it was quite painful, immediately lowered their heads with
solemn expressions.

“Then, good-bye.”

Kania smiled at them and bowed her head.

The commoners wanted to help her somehow, because somehow it looked dangerous, but they soon
realized that it was a futile dream.

Because the Starlight Mansion behind Kania was too huge for them to deal with.

The commoners simply left the mansion and bowed to Kania over and over again.

Kania, who was accustomed to crouching, or looked at the sad movements of commoners who only knew
about crouching, felt a sense of popularity from the side and turned away.

“Mr. Kania… are you really okay?”

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

There was Ferroche with a very worried expression on his face.

“If it’s okay with you, can I stay at Frey’s mansion? If it’s me as a saint, I might as well protect Frey from
harming you…”

“…No, thanks.”

Kania, who looked at her softly like that, heard the words coming out of Perloche’s mouth and answered
with a straight face.

“Then goodbye, Mr. Perloche.”

“Yes? Ah… I see. Good bye.”

Overwhelmed by Kania’s unknown aura, Perloche tilted her head for a moment and then went out of the
mansion.

“…are you going now too?”

“I, why am I?”

Kania, who was watching the scene quietly, said with a cold expression to Irina, who was standing next to
her blankly.

“Then, are you planning to stay here all vacation?”

“Yeah, of course. To pay off my debt to Frey, hanging out every hour isn’t enough.”

“Sigh…”

Kania, who was frowned upon at Irina’s reply, who returned after a while, began to speak in an annoyed
voice.

“It’s enough for me. I’ve been serving the master since I was little…”

“But, why do you keep stroking your stomach? Can you stop acting now?”

Then, upon hearing Irina’s curious question, Kania blushed and quietly shut her mouth.
It was because he didn’t have the confidence to tell Frey that his stomach had been stimulated by the fact
that he had recently turned into a cat frequently and became sensitive because he had his feet pressed
against Frey earlier.

“Anyway, the conclusion is…”

“What, what? He?”

After being in silence for a while, Kania opened her mouth quietly, but as Irina suddenly turned pale and
pointed to the Starlight Mansion, she momentarily hardened her expression and looked back.

“……!”

And at that moment, Kania doubted her own eyes.

It was because Lulu was sitting by the window of Frey’s room with a blank expression on his face.

“Hey, stop him! You have to stop him!”

“Calm down, that’s on the second floor. If you fall, you won’t die.

“Oh, yes.”

Kania responded softly to Irina, who was shaking her head, but left Irina scratching her head behind and
tried to approach her.

Sreuk

““…….!!!””

Suddenly, Lulu took out a small knife from her arms and brought it to her arm, and she and Irina began to
look sullen.

“You really have to stop this time!”

“I know.”

Confused, Kania was preparing to use black magic, and Irina was chanting wind magic, even if it was
disappointing.

“Ugh, that must have been a big deal.”

Frey appeared from behind the window and hit Lulu on the back of the neck, knocking him out.

“…it was fortunate that the master was there.”

“Yeah.”

The two of them watched the scene nervously, and when Lulu, who was droopy, was dragged into the
room, they began to mutter in a reassuring voice.

“So, what does he do?”

“Well, shall we tie it up?”

“Can’t you brainwash me with black magic?”

“That’s the magic of evil warlocks.”

Then, the girls suddenly changed their expressions to chill, and they began to think about how to deal
with the troublesome mass who was dragged back into the room.

The conversation between the girls, who only get along well at this time, continued for a long time after
that.

. . . . .

“Ugh, that was going to be a disaster.”

I sneaked into Lulu’s room and observed if she was Mull, but when I saw the knife pulled out of my arms, I
immediately stunned her.

Apparently, when Kania down there returns, I’ll have to do a body check.
[Come on, check out the second reward!!]

“…uhh.”

As I was thinking like that, a system window popped up in front of me. Did you feel bad for being ignored
for a long time? The content of the message is quite urgent.

Sharr…

I can’t just ignore it forever, so when I checked the reward, a strange looking jade appeared in front of my
hand.

[If you show this jade to the legendary blacksmith ‘Rosinante’, you can entrust one quest!]

“Yeah, this should be enough.”

According to the prophecies, ‘Rosinante’, the man who made the decorative box obtained at the old
auction house, is an excellent master enough to make a mark in the history of the empire.

And, like most of those masters, he is said to be very eccentric.

So, it is said that entrusting him with a quest is as difficult as picking a star from the sky, but if you show
him this jade, he will probably be able to build a machine for picking stars.

“…Well?”

With that thought in mind, I carefully put the jade in the desk drawer, and I started to smile when I saw a
white bird flew through the window.

“coo?”

“…Eh?”

However, sitting on the window sill after a while was not the white owl I had expected, but Jeon Seo-gu.

“Gugugugu!”

“What letter…”

I looked at the dove with a puzzled expression for a moment, then found the letter imprinted with the
imperial seal and hurriedly snatched it away.

Clana Solar Sunrise.

“…Clana a letter to me?”

Soon after, I found Clana’s name written on the envelope of the letter, and panicked, and I began to open
the letter with a little trembling heart.

This is an official letter to the three dukes. A request for support came from the Cloud Kingdom of
the Western Continent.

“Oh, this is it.”

I expected all kinds of situations, but when I checked the contents of the letter, I immediately muttered
with a dull expression on my face.

As it is highly confidential, there will be a secret meeting of the three dukes at Mr. Frey’s birthday
party. In that regard, please understand.

“…the raid on the slave market should also be taken care of.”

The confidential information Clana says is a ‘slave market raid’.

After all, the princes and princesses of the Cloud Kingdom, the kingdom to which the princess belongs to
the first year of the Sunrise Academy next year, are captured in this slave market… It is understandable
that security is so thorough.

‘It’s all about freeing the slaves and being hated by the princess. It’s nothing.’

It’s very sad to be hated by her, who is a sub-heroine, but it can’t be helped. That’s because you can clear
the main quest.
“…what?”

As I was trying to put the letter in the drawer with that thought in mind, I found a very small sentence at
the bottom of the letter and started to freeze slowly.

Ps. What have you done to me? Frey?

“What does this mean again…?”

After all, the world doesn’t seem to go as planned.

EPISODE 81

“Then, I’ll get some sleep. You guys should watch Lulu.”

“It’s morning, are you going to sleep again?”

After talking for a while with Kania, Irina, who came up to the second floor, tilted her head at Frey’s
words and asked a question.

“Sorry, I haven’t been able to sleep well these days. I’ll only sleep for an hour.”

Dark circles descended under Frey’s eyes as he said that, as if it was not a lie.

He looked too tired to say he slept for a week.

“Yeah… Then get some sleep.”

“Thank you, when Kania comes, I’ll give it to you.”

After saying those words, Frey lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

“Fray… huh?”

Irina, who was staring at him shyly, began to approach Frey, who was deeply asleep.

“…you are sleeping.”

As Irina carefully looked at him as he fell asleep, she began to recall the memories of taking care of Frey
for the past week.

“How hard must it be to be so tired even after sleeping for a week?”

Irina, who took Frey, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to the ordeal a week ago, to a secret hideout in
the forest near the mansion, and took care of her all day, was able to grasp the severity of the ordeal that
Frey had suffered.

“I want to go out…”

“Fray! Are you on your mind?”

“This is… the worst…”

It was because Frey, who was lying on the bed in the hideout, was talking like this every few minutes.

“Irina…”

“F, Frey?”

Then, when Frey called his name, I thought he had finally woken up after overcoming the ordeal.

“Why did you change like that… Why…”

However, Frey did not wake up.

Rather, seeing Irina in her ordeal, she was desperate.

“…Whoa.”

Irina, who was watching that moment, couldn’t stand by Frey’s side with her sane mind.

It was because the ordeal, which must have been caused by his own fault, was making Frey painful every
moment.
“Uh, uh…”

“Fah, Frey!”

Then one day, Frey started convulsing with a pale, tired face. Irina’s guilt had reached its peak.

“Uh, what? Maybe good!”

“Irina-san. First calm down…”

“Kania. Take me to Frey’s dream. Please.”

Irina, who wanted to help Frey somehow, who was apparently going through a terrible experience, had
earnestly asked Kania, who had been struggling to break into Frey’s ordeal until then.

“An unknown force is blocking the intrusion. I’m sorry.”

Kania just shook her head as she said that.

“Fray, are you sleeping comfortably now?”

Irina stopped reminiscing, stroking Frey’s head, who was lying on the bed with a relaxed expression, and
carefully asked a question.

Of course, Frey, who was sleeping deeply, couldn’t get an answer back, but Irina was finally able to rest.

At least, Frey wasn’t drooling with a painful expression on his face.

“…Irina-san? What are you doing?”

“Whew.”

Irina, who was gently stroking Frey’s head as she fell asleep, flinched at the sound of Kania’s voice from
behind and turned her head.

“That’s it… Oh, take care of Lulu over there.”

“Am I talking?”

After a while, Irina, who was still speechless, pointed to Lulu, who was drooping next to Frey, and Kania
began to frown.

“Yeah, Frey said he entrusted Lulu to you.”

“How about Irina?”

“I… I want you to clean the room.”

Irina, who said avoiding Kania’s gaze, immediately picked up a broom placed in the corner of the room
and started cleaning the room.

“…after.”

Kania, who looked at her displeasedly, sighed as Lulu, who was lying on the floor, started tossing and
turning, began to approach her.

“Clean, please.”

When Kania, who was carrying Lulu, said so and left the room, Irina, who was sweeping the floor with a
calm expression, stopped brooming and started looking at Frey again.

“…this.”

Then Irina cautiously approached Frey again, discovering the wound on his shoulder that had been on his
shoulder until then, and quietly lowered her head.

‘That’s… it was a wound from being bitten by Fenryl while protecting me in the Ashen Forest.’

Thinking of Frey, who was desperately protecting herself who could not use magic, Irina raised Frey’s
clothes with a trembling expression, thinking about the time when she threw a fireball at him during the
performance evaluation.

“…..!”
The burn marks left by Irina were clearly visible on his body.

‘It’s strange… the wounds are all left as scars, right?’

Not only that, Irina saw that all the scars Frey had suffered until now were left as scars, and Irina started
stroking those scars with a puzzled expression on her face.

‘…After all, I have to find that person.’

After stroking her scar for a long time, Irina finally made up her mind.

For Frey, who forgave him even though he had countless scars that couldn’t be erased because of him,
and suffered trials until he died, he decided to visit the woman he thought he would never visit for the
rest of his life.

And if you go to find her, no matter what you pay for it, even if it means cutting your own life.

He said he was going to try to prolong Frey’s life somehow.

“That would be the only atonement I could give you.”

After muttering like that, Irina hesitated for a moment, then gently kissed Frey’s cheek.

“Honey, I need to clean up.”

After a while, Irina, who spoke out loud to herself even though no one was watching, blushed and started
to broom again.

If she had seen her past, a proud archmage, she would probably have collapsed as a flagship.

. . . . .

“So, you said that you took care of Lulu until now?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s the master’s order…”

After waking up for an hour, Frey called Kania, and she, who was taking care of Lulu in the next room,
immediately ran to her.

“Irina?”

“Irina-san heard that the master had ordered the cleaning.”

“…Is that so?”

Frey, whose memory was not perfect because he said it while he was in a hazy state, got up thinking that
Lulu was safe and the room was clean, so it didn’t matter.

“Master? Where are you going?”

As Frey got up and started getting ready to go outside, Kania asked a question with a curious expression
on her face.

“Ah, I have to prepare for the ‘slave market attack’. Come to the information guild to gather information.”

“Are you talking about gathering information? If that’s the case, I can do it for you.”

Frey responded kindly to her, and Kania began to make a mysterious expression.

As the butler and real power of the Duke of Starlight, Kaniani, who has a knack for collecting information,
naturally deserved such a reaction.

“Actually, I have other purposes other than collecting information, so go to the information guild.”

“Any other purpose?”

“Yeah, the sub-heroine I was talking about last time, the ‘daughter of the head of the information
gathering guild’.

Hearing that, Kania changed her expression coldly and opened her mouth.

“Okay, then I’ll accompany you.”

“Yeah, I’m guarding the house… What?”

Frey, who was about to go outside after saying hello to Kania, asked with a bewildered expression on her
face.

“Are you going to accompany me?”

“Yes, as you heard.”

“Luru?”

“Leave it to Irina-san.”

As Kania, who had a cold expression on her face, spoke without hesitation, Frey sighed quietly and said.

“Thank you for worrying about me… The person I’m going to meet is not an ordinary person. So, I want to
hide my relationship with you as much as possible…”

“Aren’t you the information guild’s daughter anyway?”

When Kania, who was proud of her status as a butler who secretly oversees the Starlight family, frowned,
Frey replied with a grin.

“Yeah, she’s the information guild’s daughter.”

“Then why…”

“…At the same time, she is the daughter of the duke.”

Hearing that, Kania began to make a blank expression on her face.

“It means that he is the young girl of the ‘Sunset’ family, which is the only duke family in the empire along
with the Starlight and Moonlight families.”

“If it’s the Sunset family… you mean the Sunrise Imperial family?”

“Yeah, I know.”

When Kania spoke with a confused expression on her face, Frey responded with a smirk.

“Because it’s a collateral clan that has been pushed out of power, it’s not treated very well, and there are
very few outside activities… Anyway, the duke’s family is a duke.”

“But why do you think that such a duke’s daughter is the daughter of an information guild behind the
scenes? Seeing that the information I didn’t know about the previous episode, it seems like it was a
hidden truth…”

“There’s a story there, and she only comes in as a freshman in the second round. Well, I’ll explain the
details later. I have to go soon.”

After speaking like that, Frey headed to the front door, and Kania hurriedly spoke up.

“Master, then, only the information guild will be present…”

“Kania, I have a good idea…”

But when Irina opened the door to the room next to Kania and stuck her head out, Kania said with a frown
on her face.

“What?”

“Uh… Lulu is asleep right now? So, use your dark magic to infiltrate Lulu’s unconscious…”

“I’ll do it next time.”

“Yes?”

Kania, who had listened to Irina’s explanation, clenched her hand and cut off her words as Frey looked in
the mirror and began to decorate her face and spray perfume.

“…because there is something I must check.”

Kania’s eyes were fixed on Frey, who had started combing her hair while humming to a hum before she
knew it.
. . . . .

“Hey. Stop here for a second.”

“Yes, yes! I see! Master!”

In the end, Kania, who was allowed to accompany Frey on condition that they wait at the entrance of the
information guild, began to look puzzled when Frey, who had been riding a carriage for a while, suddenly
stopped the carriage.

“Master? Why are you suddenly stopping the carriage?”

“I’ve got to live for a while.”

Having said that, Frey got out of the carriage and walked to somewhere, and Kania opened her eyes wide
and began to look outside.

“…a flower shop?”

Then, in her sight, Frey entered the flower shop.

Kania was looking at the flower shop with a calm expression on her face, but after a while, when Frey
came out of the flower shop with a bouquet of roses, her expression suddenly started to darken.

“Start again.”

However, Frey was just quietly looking at the bouquet, whether he was aware of Kania’s condition or not.

“…Master? What is that bouquet?”

In the end, Kania, who could not stand it, asked the question first, and Frey sighed and answered.

“A gift for Roswin.”

“Is that Roswin?”

“It’s a gift from the duke I mentioned earlier to Young-ae.”

As Frey said that, leaning back on the carriage’s seat, Kania, restless, cautiously asked a question.

“Master… Do you like him?”

“…Yes?”

Hearing that, Frey tilted her head, and Kania began to cry and speak.

“That’s… the makeup you don’t normally do, and even perfume… And the bouquet…”

“So? What would you do if I told you I like him?”

“Well, that’s… so…”

When Frey asked Kania with a mischievous expression on her face, Kania struggled to avert her gaze and
said:

“Um… I don’t know.”

It was Kania who spoke shyly, but a black aura was rising from her body.

“I’m joking, I’m joking. This is on purpose to make me look hateful to her.”

Seeing this, Frey, who was terrified, stopped teasing him and spoke seriously, but Kania asked with an
incomprehensible expression.

“The master is dressing up and preparing flowers, how does that make him look hateful?”

“If you’re going to dislike him, that’s the best way.”

“…I don’t quite understand.”

Kania, who said with a look of incredulity, began to look out the window with a slightly relieved expression
on her face.

“So, what exactly is your relationship with him?”

When Kania, who had been silent for such a long time, asked a question as if indifferent, Frey, who looked
down at the bouquet, answered in a low voice.

“…you’ll find out for yourself later.”

When Frey had finished saying those words, Kania, who was still looking indifferent, quietly put her hand
out the window of the carriage.

Shoo…

In her hand, a black energy was blooming.

. . . . .

“Kania, you’re waiting here.”

“…All right.”

As the carriage stopped in the dark alley, Frey, who was leaving the carriage with a sigh, stopped Kania,
who was following her from behind, and said,

“I’ll be back soon, so don’t worry too much.”

“Oh, Master. The collar is ruffled.”

Kania, who grabbed Frey like that, opened her eyes and began to tidy up his collar.

“Huh? I’m sure I came out well organized…”

“Okay. Now it’s perfect.”

As Frey began to tilt her head at Kania’s behavior like that, Kania smiled and walked away from him.

“Then, good-bye.”

Frey, who was looking suspiciously at Kania, scratched his head and entered the information guild.

“Welcome, hand… heh.”

The woman at the counter smiles and says hello when she sees Frey and freezes.

“You know? To the VIP zone. Bring Roswin.”

“…Yes.”

Frey, who said that to the nervous guide, started going downstairs under her guidance.

“How is Roswin these days?”

“Uh… I’m just a guide…”

“Still, I don’t know the rough.”

“I’m sorry… I really don’t know.”

“It’s useless.”

Frey, paying close attention to the guide, sighed and stopped at the entrance to the room.

“Please go in first. I’m Roswin-sama…”

Profit…

Frey, who entered the room without hearing her words, sighed and began to mutter.

“It’s been a long time here…”

Just as I was looking around while saying that, the door opened and someone slowly entered the room.

“Oh, Roswin!”

And at that moment, Frey, who changed his expression to that of a foolish waggle, put his hand on his chin
and started talking.
“How are you? Is there anything that bothers you these days?”

“Huhu, you must have missed me for quite some time?”

Then, the girl who looked at Frey smiled and sat down in the seat in front of Frey.

“So… what kind of quest did you come for this time?”

“That’s right, do you have any information about the ‘slave market’ case?”

“Oh, you mean that?”

Frey asked carefully, and the girl answered with a smile.

“Give me a thousand gold. You are a regular…”

“…only a thousand gold? I’ll give you two thousand gold.”

After saying that, Frey took the gold bag out of her arms, and the girl widened her eyes and covered her
hand with her mouth.

“Too much! You don’t have to give me this much…”

“It’s okay Roswin. You know I’m rich, right?”

As Frey said so, shrugged, the girl named Roswin said with a worried expression on her face.

“But… these days, there are rumors that gangsters in Starlight’s mansion stole their property…”

“Huh? Where is that nonsense going around?”

“Isn’t that really true?”

“Yeah, I wouldn’t have been able to pay this money if I did. Haha.”

As Frey answered with a bright, stupid expression on her face, Roswin gave a momentary sharp look and
nodded.

“Yes… Okay? I understand. Well, I’ll give you some information now…”

“Ah, I’ll put more cloth gold on it… Please do some research on additional information.”

“…Ugh.”

As Frey spoke, pulling pockets of gold from his bosom, Roswin opened his mouth.

“Are you really okay? Even if you give me this much…”

“It’s okay, even if you say it’s okay.”

Frey, who waved his hand at Roswin’s concern, suddenly blushed and pulled something out of his arms.

“Oh, this is a gift I prepared for you thinking about you.”

“Wow…”

In Frey’s hand was a bouquet of colorful roses in full bloom.

“This is my first time taking this…”

“By the way, Roswin, if you have time on the weekend…”

Roswin, who looked at the bouquet with moved eyes, quickly responded with a sad look when Frey tried to
ask a question.

“Oh, what? I have an appointment for the weekend.”

“Then this week…”

“I’m full this week… I’m sorry…”

“Then within this month…”

Just as Frey was persistently trying to make an appointment with her, suddenly Roswin clapped and said:
“Ah, come to think of it, there is some new information about the ‘slave market’ incident!”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yeah! I’ll bring it, so wait a minute!”

“Uh, uh…”

Frey, who had been bitten by Roswin, scratched his head in reply, and Roswin looked at him and then
smiled and said:

“Oh, thank you so much for this bouquet! I will cherish it!”

After leaving those words, Roswin smiled at Frey, who began to look embarrassed again, and went
outside.

“…ha, I hate it so much.”

And as soon as he stepped outside, Roswin threw the bouquet to the receptionist who was standing next
to him and said coldly.

“Burn it.”

“Hey, can’t I have one? It’s expensive…”

“Do whatever you want. I don’t even want to look at you.”

As Roswin said that, as she passed the hallway, the receptionist next to her quickly began to ask questions
with a look of incomprehension.

“Why the hell do you hate him so much? He’s got a lot of money, he’s handsome, he’ll do anything he
asks…”

“I’m the best idiot in the empire, who believes that money can buy people and trusts only their faces.

Roswin responded with a sarcastic response to her, sighing and continuing.

“I hate those bastards the most in the world. If it wasn’t for the VIP guests, I would have kicked them
out.”

“Then, what is Roswin-sama’s ideal type?”

“me…?”

Roswin pondered for a moment at the guide’s question, and then answered with a reddish cheek.

“…a hero who will soon appear in the world.”

“A warrior?”

When the guide frowned and asked a question, Roswin answered once again with a look of ecstasy just
thinking about it.

“It is my dream and my destiny to take care of that person.”

EPISODE 82

“Hey, where’s Roswin?”

Frey, who had been waiting for Roswin for a long time, frowned when she didn’t come after a long time,
and asked the guide next to him a question.

“…Oh, Roswin-sama has now gone to the secret warehouse to organize information.”

“Right.”

Frey, who nodded at those words, leaned back on the chair, and the receptionist, who had a slightly
pricked expression on his face, asked a question in a low voice.

“Uh… Would you like to wait in the waiting room instead of here?”

“No, it’s okay. The waiting room is farther than here. You can’t trouble her.”

“Ah yes.”
When Frey answered the guide with a sly smile, she blushed slightly, then bowed her head and hurriedly
went outside.

“…Roswin! What the hell are you doing here? You have to go!”

Eventually, the receptionist shouted at Roswin, who was idling orange juice in the waiting room.

“Why, did Frey get mad?”

“No, it’s not…”

“Then what?”

After hearing this, the receptionist slowly told Roswin the previous conversation, and she smirked and
muttered as she drank orange juice.

“Peck bastard.”

“Roswin!”

“Ahhh… just look at me. Looking at that bastard’s face seems to shorten my lifespan by ten years.”

“…Looking at that face cuts your lifespan?”

Frey is an idiot that no one in the Empire hates, but no one cares about his face.

The employee, who thought it was a tragic sound to say that his lifespan seemed to be shortened every
time he saw Frey’s face like that, coughed in vain and continued.

“It’s big, no matter how much it is, you’re still a VIP. You have to treat them as much as you pay.”

“Ehh… that’s annoying.”

Hearing this, Roswin drank all the orange juice and slowly got up from his seat and began to stretch.

“Oh, it’s annoying. Just tell him to come here.”

“…Roswin-sama!”

However, she couldn’t take a single step and when Roswin sat down on the sofa again, the employee who
was watching her screamed again.

“Because it’s okay. That bastard is obsessed with me. So if I said that, I wouldn’t even be able to click.”

“Ugh…”

But when Roswin answered in a sullen voice, the staff looked at her for a moment and sighed, then began
to return to Frey’s room.

“Oh, Roswin! Are you here?”

“I’m sorry, Frey. Roswin-sama is waiting in the waiting room.”

“Okay? Then we should go to the waiting room. Well, it’s too dark here, so it didn’t suit her very well.”

According to Frey’s usual rumors, the desk should have already been knocked over, but he just got up
from his seat with a grin at what was so good.

“Uh… Then I’ll guide you myself…”

“No, it’s okay. I know where I am in the waiting room. I’ll find it myself.”

Frey’s slightly pitiful receptionist tried to guide him, but Frey waved his hand and quickly opened the door
and stepped out.

“Oh, Mr. Frey! I’m sorry, did I neglect the VIP customer too much?”

“No, no, no problem. Even a VIP, you have to do this to get good information.”

When Roswin, who was suddenly in a somewhat dignified position, asked a question with a dark
expression, Frey shook his head as if he was not in a hurry.

“Thank you. As expected, Frey-nim is our guild’s best guest.”

Then, with a smile on his face, Roswin answered that way, and soon opened his mouth, gathering all the
scattered materials on the desk in the waiting room.

“I brought all the information about the ‘Slave Market’ that our guild has. So…”

“I have a favor for you, Roswin.”

Roswin tilted his head at Frey’s words. Seeing her like that, Frey smiled like a fool and spoke up.

“Can’t you just read it yourself?”

“…Me?”

“Yeah, I want to hear it with your beautiful voice.”

Hearing those words, Roswin instantly failed to control his expression.

Roswin has seen numerous human figures while dealing with numerous guests, and thanks to that, he is a
person who has been able to hide his feelings from people.

However, Frey’s selfish request, which she hates most in the world, was literally irresistible.

“……..”

“Lo, Roswin?”

Thanks to that, it was a fleeting moment, but she showed her disgust, disgust, and vomiting towards Frey
on her face.

“Why all of a sudden? Where are you hurting?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve been having a bit of a headache lately…”

But when Frey asked with a still dumbfounded expression on his face, Roswin immediately returned his
expression and began making excuses.

“Ah, anyway, do you want me to read these things myself? As expected, Frey-sama is very thoughtful. It’s
good to see and learn with your own eyes, but listening to what other people say is also good for
gathering information…”

“I just want to hear your voice, huh?”

“…Well then, let’s start reading!”

Roswin, who almost failed in facial expression control for the second time, showed transcendent patience,
managed to manage his facial expression and started talking.

“First of all, the news that this slave market will be held in a hidden magical space in a back alley.”

“If it’s a magical space… maybe?”

“Yes, it’s a world behind the scenes where the entrance is only opened once a year. Apparently, the slave
traders are very well prepared this time.”

Hearing this, Frey began to make a serious expression on his face, and Roswin looked at him with curious
eyes and began to ask questions.

“Why is that? Do you want to participate in the slave market? Or do you have any other information?”

“No, no. Keep telling me.”

“Ah yes.”

As Frey answered with a stern expression on his face, Roswin muttered to himself that he thought so, and
then smiled and resumed the conversation.

“Anyway, the scale of the upcoming slave market is the largest ever in 100 years.”

“Hmm… Is that so? Do you have any information on when, by any chance, it will open?”

When Frey asked if he was curious, Roswin shook his head in reply.

“We don’t have that information yet. But don’t worry. You paid for the additional information investigation,
so if we get the information, we’ll be the first to tell Frey-sama.”

“Oh, thank you.”

The phrase ‘I’ll tell you first’ means that Frey is willing to sell the results of the investigation he asked for
for money to others.

But as Frey simply nodded with a grin, Roswin laughed at him inwardly and picked up the material next to
him.

“As a result of our investigation, the imperial family, the investigation team, and the sun god church were
already bought by slave traders.”

“That means…”

“Yeah, the slave trade is banned in the Empire… but this means that this slave market is actually legal.”

Hearing this, Frey began to salivate again, and Roswin quietly lowered his hand under the desk to take
notes on a piece of paper placed on his lap.

Multiple possibilities for Frey Raon Starlight to participate in the slave market auction. Further
investigation is required.

“Roswin, do you have any other information?”

“Oh, yes! I’ll tell you now.”

Roswin paused for a moment and took notes, then opened his mouth again with a grin when Frey urged
him.

“This slave market has come from a variety of races and races.”

“Different races and races?”

“Yes, it is said that not only the West Continent and the East Continent… but also different races are
traded. After all, it is the first time in 100 years to say that it is the largest slave market in history.”

Frey heard that and nodded, and Roswin started taking notes without missing the moment.

“Is there any possibility that disturbers will come into this auction?”

“There will be very few. Of course, the pyramids will always be twisted.”

Having said that, Roswin said as he folded the file he was holding.

“Now, that’s all we have. Have you ever been disappointed by too little?”

“No, no. That’s enough. It really helped.”

Frey, who waved her hand with a bewildered expression on her face, immediately coughed and began to
speak cautiously.

“By the way… Actually, there’s one important thing left, right? Roswin.”

“Is it important?”

“So, that letter… um.”

As Frey put on a dumbfounded expression and tried to share top secret information, Roswin quickly shut
his mouth.

“Oh, I… I mean. Would you like some snacks?”

“all right.”

Eventually, Roswin said that to the guide who was staring at them with a blank expression on their face,
and the guide left the room without saying a word, with a slightly puzzled expression on her face.

At first, the guide was more envious of Roswin who touched Frey’s lips than wonder.

“…Fray, no way. My identity is a secret.”

When the receptionist, who had such an envious expression on his face, left the room, Roswin spoke with
