I thought it would be disturbing if we wandered around in the same room as the doctor is currently using to operate on Merri. But I was reluctant to leave Merri alone. Fortunately, the doctor accepts my hesitation."You may remain in this room to accompany Miss Merri, lady. I think Miss Merri would have wanted it too if she had come to her senses." The Doctor said softly as he focused his gaze on the condition of Merri's back in front of him."Uhm, thank you. It means a lot to me. I'll make sure we won't disturb you too much."The two assistants who were beside him were busy giving surgery equipment to the doctor. It seems they have been trained to move quickly and precisely to assist the doctor so that the operation runs smoothly. Of course, I wouldn't let Merri's body be touched by those who didn't know what they were doing.Fortunately, once again, the doctor knew very well what he was doing. I can relax a little.I don't know what happened in the victim's halfway house on Shuden S
I gently stroked the back of Merri's hand. Over the past five days, I've stroked her hand repeatedly just to make it clear that Merri's body is getting thinner. There was a sharp pain in my chest when I couldn't do anything to restore Merri's body condition.But thankfully, today Merri has woken up."Now, what happened, milady?"“That is… something you don't need to think about. All you have to think about now is how to recover properly. You've held on well, Merri."The good news is that Merri didn't suffer the vertebral fracture that the doctor and I thought. After taking a closer look at Merri's operation, it turned out that there was a misplaced nerve in the bone that made Merri unable to move some parts of her body freely and caused sharp pain in her back.The doctor also said that a miracle happened because the nerve did not swell. Because if it swells, that will be even more dangerous.“But, because of me, your plan to leave this land became-”“Ssh, plans can always change follo
In the same room but in a slightly distant part of where Merri and Doctor Urfey were, I sat with Pasha.“Lady Sasha, I hope this dish can replace the energy you expended to protect the palace today. It's amazing to watch you use magic. But I hope you don't push yourself too hard so that your pregnancy stays well." A worried expression appeared on Lola's face."Thank you, Lola. I will enjoy it as usual.”"Human! I want to try that soup! Give it to me too!” Tuyul, after a long time of not chattering, ordered me to distribute the soup that the senior maid had just served on the table for me."Sure, sure."Today is so much fun. Merri had woken up fine. Dylan is fine too. Pasha is getting active. Tuyul and Mbayul were no different as usual with Mbayul who was currently going to Drachentia. Then I too have been freed from any shamelessness for having contributed to the security of this palace.If there's anything left to make the day even more fun, it's the annihilation of Hayden and his la
A dense turquoise-blue liquid gushed out from the body of the monster that had just lost its head. Not long after, the rest of the monster's body was torn apart by Dylan's sword. Not just one or two monsters, but five monsters at once that had swarmed Dylan's group, had lost their heads in no time.Even though their bodies were separated, there were still some parts of the monster's identity that remained from the uniforms that clung to their scaly skin."Ugh. I'm sorry. Really." A soldier mumbled sadly while burning pieces of the monster's body.Another soldier who was nearby also whispered an apology as he threw the monster's body pieces into the fire. Repeatedly. They must have realized that the monsters they had just wiped out were fellow soldiers who died fighting monsters in this area.And when one looks at the shape of the changes that appeared on the monsters, it seems that they have just evolved into the first phase monsters.“Is it the last one in this area?” Dylan asked a f
Fuschia's face flinched shortly, but then returned to her previous calm expression. Dylan caught the brief change and chuckled. Several times Dylan deliberately blew soft air into Fuschia's eyelids. Then Fuschia's eyelashes would flutter beautifully and that made Dylan even hard to hold on to lick those eyes.“Delicious. I wish I could feel all that you have for the rest of my life, Fuschia.” Dylan whispered seductively in Fuschia's ear.He thought that Fuschia would end the play. But the pair of eyes with curly eyelashes still refused to open even though Dylan had showered her face with kisses.Dylan didn't understand why Fuschia was so fond of this 'pretend to sleep' play when he would only find out every time. At first, he thought that maybe Fuschia was disturbed by him, so she pretended to sleep. That made him sad. But then, Fuschia explains that Dylan's assumption is not correct.Fuschia liked the act itself because she thought it made her heart race.'What a cutie.'"Or, do you
It's been ten days since. Thanks to Fuschia, a high and thick wall of solid earth fortified the surroundings of the central palace. Having only one gate for entry and exit is a great idea to limit movement. Neither the movement of humans nor of monsters. The same method is applied by Dylan and the group of soldiers when eradicating monsters.They attracted the attention of the monsters with the bait of the 'fastest soldier' who took the monsters to a building with one door open only, then ambushed them in a small space that restricted their movement.“Maftah said that they have received a reply from the Cruox Empire. And now perhaps their soldiers were on their way to Drachentia. It will probably arrive in a week." Dylan reached for Fuschia's hand for a kiss."I guess it's time to prepare to leave this place, right?" Said Fuschia to Dylan and Merri."That's right, milady."After Dylan left for the battlefield, Fuschia and Merri walked around the palace as a form of Merri's training.
During the pouring rain that was getting heavier, and the darken night, Dylan rode his horse frantically down to the deserted streets of the capital – unlike the chaos in the place he had just left. All that could be heard now was the neighing of horses galloping in fear of the dark and pouring rain. But neither of them beat the loud sound of Dylan's racing heartbeat.It was as if Dylan could hear nothing but the deadly thumping inside his chest.‘Fuschia… Fuschia, not again, please. Please.” Dylan tightened his jaw while waving his whip frantically.“Kiiiiiiik!” The horse neighed as they surged into a gallop.'Come on! Faster! Faster!'His piercing eyes cut through the darkness of the capital in front of him. Determined to get rid of everything that stands in his way, and make the blue fireball that is continuously shot into the night sky his goal.He recalled the conversation directed as a joke between Fuschia and Merri about the signal they would fire if they were in trouble to see
“Wow, I wish to smack the back of their head with mahogany!”'Mbayul?! I'm sure it was Mbayul's voice just now!'“Fuschia, are you still not awake? What should I do now? What can I do other than just following you like this? This is sad. Fuschia! Hurry up and wake up!”Looks like Mbayul has been following me from the start. He must have been frustrated as he couldn't scream for help because no one could see him but me and Merri, and even Dylan can't.'I think Merri is drugged too. I hope she is okay.'I took a breath, then tried to gather the manna I could muster with my depleted energy. Then with a slight nudge from inside my chest, I opened my mouth.“Argh-ugh, let me go, now, scoundrel.”“Fuschia! Are you awake already?" Mbayul's voice rose with a sigh of relief.But unlike him, the two men who kidnapped me cursed. "Damn, she's awake! What should we do?" asked one of the men worriedly."Tsk. We don't need to do anything. Seeing that she hasn't done any magic on us, means that her b
Tuyul is nowhere to be found.No matter how hard Mbayul and I searched for him, we could only conclude that Tuyul had left us. It's hard to accept that reality, especially when we don't say goodbye to each other.Mbayul and the other wandering fairies are still with us. They worked for me as a royal CCTV. They were the right creatures for the job because few could see them, even though many wizards had appeared now.Then, when Pasha was three years old, I learned Tuyul's last story."Mom, do you still remember Uncle Tuyul?"One night, Pasha asked about it.Pasha has excellent verbal skills at an early age, and he can already form complex sentences well, making it easier for us to converse. He also remembered some things about his childhood, when he was one year old.He even remembered the house in the middle of the forest that we once lived in in the Haddad Kingdom, and he also remembered our battle with the monsters. Therefore, it is not surprising that later those memories returned
It had not been six months since Dylan had served as the new king of Drachentia Kingdom, and he already held the title of 'Drachentia's golden wolf.' In that short time, he was feared by the kingdoms around Drachentia. Mainly because of his achievements in eradicating all the monsters and the remaining alchemist in Drachentia.Not only that, but he also paralyzed the illegal trade that occurred in Drachentia's sea. Without mercy. And it turns out that his actions have spread to shake the economic stability of other kingdoms in the vicinity, which have outsmarted Drachentia in terms of trade at sea.Then today was a big meeting with the diplomacy of the allied kingdoms, who were present for fear that Dylan would prey on their kingdom. As many people know that Drachentia is an archipelago kingdom, I think they are afraid that their kingdom will become one of Dylan's new islands.'But he's not that ruthless tho.' I smiled proudly at Dylan sitting beside me with a sinister expression.As
My second marriage ceremony.As Dylan requested, before the king's coronation ceremony, we had a wedding ceremony.Of course, a lot needs to be prepared for a royal family wedding, but since we want it to be done as soon as possible, the preparations are quite simple. After all, we want to be crowned husband and wife soon. So we don't think much about banquets and so on.I'm wearing a white wedding dress that looks as divine as the diamond sprinkles on top of it. When the sun's rays fall on me, my dress will twinkle.Why can there be such a beautiful wedding dress ready in such a short time? The answer is because of the enthusiasm of Laura and Mr. Andre, who had prepared the dress long ago, even when they didn't know when I could wear it. Likewise, with Dylan's wedding tuxedo.“Milady-oops, your majesty, you look so beautiful. You are like a goddess!”"Isn't she more like an angel because of her white dress?""Well, our lady can do both. Hohohoho~” Merri and the others had fun dressin
The day of Crown Prince Hayden's trial has finally arrived. The sky was a dull gray, and people flocked to the High Court to witness the historic trial in an uneasy mood. Their minds were in turmoil.Dylan and I sat on the witness stand. I could feel all eyes on us. I heard the whispers of the people behind us as they were the seats of the nobles."I'm here. Don't be nervous." Dylan whispered. Pulling up the nervousness I didn't realize ate up my consciousness.Even though I heard that Madame Luxor and Laura were trying to get a lot of news written in the newspapers in our favor, that doesn't mean everyone would necessarily believe all that. Especially the nobles who might be aiming for royal power through the royal family.More so when they heard their next king was a formerly enslaved person and a victim of alchemist experiments—not forgetting that I would also be their queen."Phew."The supreme judges entered the courtroom. I know one of the high judges who sit in the highest seat
After that great battle, I slept like the dead for two days. I pushed myself too much, so that's how it turned out.Meanwhile, Laura and Madame Luxor mobilized a lot of news media in the form of newspapers to write down everything that had happened overnight—starting from the reason for the rebellion led by the Luxor Family with the help of the Mountravven Family troops to my surprising appearance.Madame Luxor quickly prepared everything related to the news as she owned information guilds. So she has planted several reporters on the scene to capture everything that happened since the beginning of the battle.And as professional reporters they are, reporters get a lot of 'astonishing' pictures, which are then pasted in their newspaper headlines.From the picture of Hayden leading the monster army, then the picture of me using water magic, and the picture of the dragon in the sky that blessed Dylan and me. Of course, the last picture was the one that seemed the most implausible, except
I don't know what just happened. What I do know is that Dylan suddenly had Hayden's sword in his hand, and from that sword came a superpower(?) of a giant rolling circle that sliced through the monsters with a single numbness. Then because of that power, Dylan's energy seemed to be sucked in and made him fall limply into my arms.I panicked because I thought Dylan was about to die, but he was only limp for a moment. Because after that, we and some of the 'healthy' soldiers explored the temple.Of course, at the time, I also didn't know why people looked at us with amazement as they said that we received blessings from the dragon that stroked our heads with its feet.I don't even know anything about the dragon in the sky. But I think it might be Lord Drachen.Anyway, I met someone I almost forgot on the way to the temple."I'LL KILL YOU!" Sarah was about to jump at me with a vengeance, but her body was already being held back by the soldiers who followed us."It's all over, Sarah," I
"Where are you going, sir bastard?"Without hesitation, Merri engulfed Raymon's body with her smoldering blue flames.“AAAAAAHHHHH!” Raymon writhed in pain while screaming hysterically; then, his body was kicked by the grande monster.Merri smirked as she looked down at Raymon, who was flipping like a dying fish.Merri thought, 'Look, how easy it is to crush that bastard. If I were stronger since long ago, then Milady and my life wouldn't be this messed up.'"Merri?! What are you doing here?" Fuschia approached Merri, looking happy at the top of a tree.“Milady! I did it! I burn that bastard!”“Gre- great job, girl. But don't push yourself as you're still recovering, Merri."“Of course! Hahahaha, this is fun. What about you, milady? Uh? Your head is bleeding!” Merri almost jumped from her position to get closer to the flying Fuschia.That made Fuschia flustered. But then Fuschia calmed Merri down. “Calm down. I already drank that potion.”"Ah! The magic medicine, of course!”Fuschia s
Fuschia stared at the man in front of Madame Luxor warily. "Commander Hugh?"She recognized the man before as The Knight Commander of Drachentia, Hugh Connor of the Count Connor Family.Dylan frowned wryly then spoke in a low voice, "I should have made sure you died in my hands."The knight commander Hugh bowed his head as he faced Fuschia. He didn't raise his head as he spoke.“I… had time to come to the Crestine Hall. There I met Lady Laura and the survivors. Then I… learned the truth from her. So please, allow me to atone for my sin of stupidity, Your Highness.”Fuschia knew Hugh Connor as a knight loyal to the kingdom. His loyalty is shown by a devotion to the leader. He is known as the 'hunting dog' of the late king who has bitten many nobles or rebels who threaten the power of the late king.Like Hayden and Raymon, he was trained by the late king and the late general commander in swordsmanship. That was why the sword styles of the three were almost the same. So he has a good rel
“FUCHIA!”It was Dylan's voice. He emerged from behind the soldiers."Dylan!" Fuschia immediately raised her legs to shorten the distance between the two.The two of them ran at each other with their arms wide open.Amid a battle between monsters and humans that seemed like it would never end, Dylan and Fuschia hugged each other tightly.The whirlwind of their minds and the erratic beating of their heart were relieved by the familiar scent they breathed in on each other. The tight hug they shared at that time seemed to convey all the tiredness in their hearts and minds.Then, along with a brief kiss they shared, each of them killed the charging monster. Fuschia separates the head of the monster charging at Dylan with her ice saw, while Dylan rips the neck of the monster charging at Fuschia with his sword.Never before seen a romantic and horror moment happen in one frame. So many soldiers thought so and accidentally witnessed the scene.“What's wrong with your sword? Why are they so d
