30 – Straighten your shoulders, great queen – 7

“It is a lie!”

What broke the icy silence was Kiaru’s cry. Although her whole body was fixed, only her mouth moved.

“Christine-sama, you don’t believe me, so you’re trying to believe Jekiel’s words!”

“What do you mean by that?”

Even though she thought it wasn’t even worth listening to, Christine asked back herself.

It was just because I couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe that Kiaru, who had been loyal to her all her life, had betrayed her.

I felt like I had to listen to something. So it was.

“I am being manipulated by Jekiel.”

“control?”

Kiaru looks like he really is.

“For what reason would I want to harm Christine! Isn’t Jekiel the most suspicious in this situation? A guy who takes out his heart proudly can’t even manipulate others!”

Christine groaned.

If I had seen her more honestly, I wouldn’t have been so disappointed.

However, the loyalty Kiaru had shown so far was truly amazing, and there were quite a few of his henchmen who looked at him with eyes like, ‘Is that really so?’

“Common sense, if you were going to kill me, why would you heal me?”

“It is to harm Christine-sama in front of everyone! You’re trying to lay the blame on me! ah… That, yes!”

As if there is something crucial, a color appears on Kiaru’s face.

“What Christine has on her body is a curse of the highest order. How can I, a mere henchman, obtain such a curse? The culprit has been decided! Christine! Do not be fooled!”

Christine’s heart was not shaken by Jekiel’s tip. Even now, Christine has come to his aid.

However, the others, who did not know the details, seemed to be quite shaken by Kiaru’s appeal.

-Was Christine sick?

-It’s not once or twice that Christine has been sick. stupid No surprise.

Other races talk like that

-There is no reason for Kiaru to betray.

– Then again, Jekiel… so meticulously… ?

The henchmen started whispering like that.

“Is that the end of the excuses?”

Jekyll shakes his head.

Despite receiving that cold stare, Kiaru did not back down. Rather, like a ferocious cat, her eyes widen even more.

“Jekiel… ! Stop doing this bad thing right now! Your operation is ruined! From now on Christine-sama rules!”

“Shut up.”

“What, what?!”

“What are you making excuses for when you are reciting the kinds of curses you didn’t even ask about? Of course, the approach itself was fine. However.”

cool—

Jekiel, who vomited blood again, slowly took off his coat.

“Look carefully.”

Heo eo ok, exclamations poured out of everyone’s mouths.

It was not because I saw something amazing and marvelous, but because the horror unfolded that I couldn’t bear to see with my eyes open. Stares stare at him from all sides in amazement.

“that… . That… ”

“What, what!”

Mouth full of blood. An arm that had been bitten all over and its shape was distorted. Even if you look at it one by one, it’s a gruesome look.

However, there was another reason why everyone’s eyes widened.

“…the pattern of time!”

someone shouted.

Yes, the pattern on the nape of Zekiel’s neck was a shape of a snake wrapped around a huge sword. This is the pattern of the times.

It was still humming in real time, sucking out Jekiel’s vitality.

Even the fact that the man is standing still feels strange, but he continues his conversation calmly.

“The curse you spoke of hangs over me. I didn’t say it with bluff.”

Jekyll shakes his head a little more. It’s like looking carefully at the pattern.

“Let’s drop one more pretense and be honest. If it had been me and not Christine that you were aiming for, I would have surely died.”

This time everyone held their breath.

Jekiel’s past was something that could never be called pretty.

For him to reveal his true state and give it a chance, no one would think it strange even if he was killed right now by someone he had a grudge against.

But.

‘Nevertheless, there is work to be done.’

He just thought so.

By that time, the invisible hands holding Kiaru in the air had disappeared.

“I don’t even have the life force to hold you down now. What are you going to do?”

The conversation was over.

Kiaru, who had been beaten by all alibis, was still frozen in place even though his intangible hand had disappeared.

I just broke out in a cold sweat. Like a cat at the end of an alley.

The anger in the eyes of the other servants was small. Christine’s eyes were no different.

“Vivian. I guess it’s your turn now.”

And Zekiel’s gaze turned towards the sin of envy. The decadent white Lamia Vivian. she clicked her tongue.

Vivian wasn’t stupid. Jekyll is giving her a chance.

The curse of envy was used, but Vivian had a chance not to be suspected.

Tsutsutsut.

When he clicks his tongue once, two of Lamia’s henchmen jump out from the sides. In an instant, it wraps around Kiaru’s lower body like a snake and strangles her.

“eww… . ugh… ! Wow! Gagging!”

Tears welled up from Kiaru’s eyes. Foam began to form in his mouth.

“thing… almost all… It’s okay, it’s okay… . Christine’s lineage… Hey, hey, you don’t fit in as a queen… … ”

Eventually, with a thump, Kiaru collapses to the floor.

Vivian’s henchmen return to their places. Tsutsutsu. Vivian asks Christine.

“What. If you still have doubts, you can show greater sincerity.”

“All right. First of all, keep Kiaru locked up. I will interrogate you later.”

As soon as Christine finishes talking, Artel drags the fainting Kiaru and leaves.

ha. After confirming that the situation has been resolved, Jekiel stumbles.

No, it seemed that even staggering was difficult now. He loses his balance and falls to the floor.

But there was no dull thump. Because there was someone who supported him.

Christine, it was Christine who caught him as he fell.

-Christine is more amazing than I thought.

-I know. To treat the world’s Jekiel like an object like that?

– I’m not even embarrassed.

Others started to make their own noises.

It was all a tribute to Christine. The stage was completed only for Christine, but how is it so empty?

Christine’s henchmen quickly surround Jekiel and her in a circle. I made a circular wall and made it impossible to see inside from the outside.

It was louder than ever, but still at the same time. He focused all his attention on the man he was holding onto.

The place where my heart used to be is now in pain because it can’t beat.

It’s a strange feeling. It’s not the first time I’ve felt it, but it’s been a long time since I’ve felt it, so it’s even more strange and weird.

With trembling hands, he carefully rubbed the nape of his neck.

cool—

The face that coughs up with difficulty is very awkward.

It’s the first time he’s seen something like this. It was Christine who always hurt. Lying down is Christine and standing is Jekiel.

It would have been that way all my life. The rest of my life would have been like that too.

“under… ”

His eyes were crying, but his mouth was smiling.

It was absurd. Christine laughed and squeezed her lungs again and again before finally asking.

“Why are you like this?”

no answer comes back

“Why are you doing this?”

It was more of a plea than a question. I was hoping for an answer.

“What answer do you want?”

What answer do you want? Christine had only one thing to say.

“Sincerity.”

yeah, nothing more than that

“Just tell me the truth.”

“Seriously.”

As if the words he was going to say would be absurd even if he thought about them, the man burst into laughter.

“I want the human world and the demon world to be in harmony. That’s all.”

“under.”

Again, Christine let out a mischievous laugh.

what the hell are you talking about what the hell are you doing No, what the hell are you thinking?

Just ask him again.

“You are a fool. He is a liar who speaks nonsense. Do you know?”

The woman’s eyes were watery.

“know. likewise.”

The man’s left arm, which seemed to never move again, moves. All he showed her was a ring.

“I am your fiancé.”

“stop.”

Christine covered Jekiel’s mouth.

I didn’t have the confidence to listen to the next words, and I didn’t want his condition to get worse.

oh Christine buried her face in the man’s broad chest.

His own heart buried in that chest-

“…Stop talking.”

I was running faster than ever.
