Episode 141

Aster laughed at Andrew, after seeing him speechless.

You’re still living in a fairy tale. Or maybe you want to blame me for your incompetence.

Neither party could avoid his sincere words.

I put you on the front line because I thought that, with your strength, the damage to the soldiers could be minimized.

There was no need to send Andrew to the battlefield.

However, Aster knew how many ordinary soldiers die on a battlefield like this.

On the battlefield with magical beasts and magic, ordinary soldiers were practically used as consumables.

The reason Andrew was always in front and fighting the enemy was to minimize the amount of soldiers dying like this.

After he became emperor, he wanted Andrew to take over.

You mean you didn’t bother me?

Well, not that I didn’t mean to, but at least that wasn’t the case.

Aster looked at Andrew, who was confused, and clicked his tongue inwardly.

It would be great if he could take his time.

You’re messing with me.

Andrew, who realized it late, got angry and cast a spell at him.

Aster quickly swung his sword and slashed the ice spear and entered the forest.

You still have a bit of ingenuity, brother.

It wasn’t easy to hit a moving target with magic.

Most ice spears just hit the tree.

Meanwhile, Aster reduced the distance and threatened Andrew.

Ahg!

Aster, who reached up to his nose, threatened Andrew with his sharp sword.

He raised both hands and quickly made a shield with magic, but it was broken by Aster’s merciless sword.

The tip of the sharp sword grazed past, leaving a small scratch on his face.

The Grand Duchess will be sad.

Aster smiled playfully and turned his body.

At the moment he increased the speed of his sword and aimed for her neck.

You just curl your tail like a mouse, brother.

Andrew raised his magical powers and immediately froze the surroundings.

In an instant, the golden forest was easily crushed by his magic.

Have you given up running now?

Andrew smiled slightly as he looked at Aster on the ground, one of his feet frozen.

No way.

Aster raised his sword and tapped it under his feet.

He must have forgotten he was a summer wizard.

Ahg.

In that short period of time, he turned the magic inside his body to avoid freezing.

The sense of combat was truly incomparable.

«That’s why I chose this golden forest.»

Andrew checked the necklace he had hidden in his arms and deliberately gave Aster a break.

He probably wouldn’t even dream of giving her a break on purpose.

Andrew was able to block the sharp sword coming at his eyes in an instant with an arm that had been strengthened with magic.

Blood splattered.

But the opportunity was now.

He picked up the necklace and slammed it against Aster’s shoulder.

Die!

Black energy vibrated from the necklace with a high-pitched sound and was absorbed by Aster.

Ahg.

Aster’s breathing became harsh as he vomited dark red blood.

I said. I will take back everything that was originally mine.

Seeing Aster being eroded by dark magic, Andrew smiled slightly.

While investigating Tatiana’s bracelet, he discovered that it was a relic of a demigod war.

A weapon made by humans to survive the wars of the gods.

It tames those beyond human limits, twists thinking and subordinates them to the wearers.

Tatiana’s bracelet evokes affection, and this necklace can force absolute submission.

Come on, brother. You will kill yourself.

Aster, whose eyes were mesmerized by his words, pointed his sword at himself.

Andrew smiled broadly and whispered softly.

Watch from the underworld as your younger brother, who has been so careless, takes everything of yours and your wife.

For a moment, Aster’s eyes turned black.

Andrew met those eyes and took a step back with a feeling that something was wrong.

In an instant, a strong heat enveloped his body.

He couldn’t even scream.

* * *

His gaze slowly turned to me.

Karina.

Unknowingly, I recoiled at the tenacity I could sense in the voice.

Aster emerging from the hollow center looked like a demon.

Surrounded by a beautiful shell, its aura was cruel and destructive.

Your Majesty.

The voice calling him trembled softly.

I heard Tatiana, who was standing next to me, collapse to the ground.

But there was no time to look at her again.

I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if I looked away from Aster.

Why are you looking at me like that, princess?

She tilted her head as if she was genuinely curious.

My gaze reached the pendant that had lodged on her shoulder and was emitting black magic nonstop.

I’m worried that His Majesty will get sick.

Ah, this.

He casually pulled out the pendant and threw it.

Blood gushed out and soaked his upper body, but it was only for a moment.

His wounds healed quickly, leaving no trace.

This is nothing.

Aster smiled broadly and approached me.

Hesitating, I decided to take his hand.

If it was shrouded by distorted magic, it was better to use the nearby object to get rid of it.

«It’s something to do with the life force, so I must be sure.»

But things couldn’t have been that easy.

In an instant, rose petals flew like a storm in front of my sight.

Then someone grabbed my waist and pulled me back.

It was Raymond.

What are you doing dangerously? Did you get excited because you wanted to die?

I punched his arm and pulled away.

When he quickly checked Aster’s condition, he had a blank expression as if he had been hit by Raymond’s mind magic.

Princess!

Behind Raymond appeared Wilhelm with the knights.

Karina!

And then I saw my mother.

Everyone who could have helped gathered.

They were all carrying magic tools that Raymond had made.

He seemed to be able to use magic not unlike that outside the Golden Forest, perhaps better than last time.

What happened to his majesty?

I think he was hit by distorted magic.

Wilhelm’s expression became serious at my words.

He was the most affected by the distorted magic among them.

When you’re wrapped in magic, you crave blind affection for your opponent. It’s not just about being kind or anything like that, it’s about being destructive.

Saying that, Wilhelm saw that Andrew was being carried on a stretcher.

I think the Archduke used it to control Her Majesty, but it seems to have had a side effect.

Mother said as she looked at the necklace on the floor. I nodded slowly.

Raymond, how long can you keep the Emperor bound?

Probably half a day. He’s using up his magic a lot faster than you think.

I’ll hold out in his place, so go to the Imperial Medical Center immediately with Sir Wilhelm. Let Robert give you the purifier.

Wait. They don’t even have to do that.

I quickly intervened between them.

Continuing like this will only take longer and become more dangerous.

What’s your point?

I have a way.

I slowly explained my powers to them.

Of course, I excluded the story of using my life force as collateral.

If that were the case, everyone would be against it.

Once I get close to Aster, I’ll be able to fix it somehow.

The color of my mother’s face changed at those words.

It’s very dangerous. You are not devoid of magic at all, so you could be affected….

Seeing my expression, my mother immediately shut her mouth.

Yeah, you weren’t the one who would take the risk….

Don’t worry. I’m not lucky with men, but I’m lucky in other areas.

When I smiled a little, my mother smiled as if it was absurd.

Sir Raymond, you are clinging to Aster. I will ask my mother for remote support and Sir Wilhelm for my escort.

I understand, Princess. It will take some time to prepare the other knights as well.

Let me know as soon as you are ready.

Wilhelm said nothing, but Raymond’s face was full of dissatisfaction.

I ignored Raymond, sat back and imagined the situation in my head.

If I’m wrong, everything will go wrong.

It would be easier to kill him. Everyone who has seen the emperor here knows that now, right? That’s not a human, it’s closer to a beast. If people here would keep their mouths shut….

At Raymond’s words, I glared at him.

Don’t talk nonsense.

Do you love this man enough to risk your life?

I frowned at the strange question.

I’m not risking my life. I just believe in Aster.

Raymond’s expression changed strangely at my words.

I looked at him and opened my mouth.

And the opponent is the emperor. Do you think everyone here, not just one or two, will shut up?

And I was so upset that Raymond, no one else, said anything like that.

When you were being reckless, nobody said it was wise to kill you.

Wasn’t Raymond the representative player who acted inhumanely?
