36 – The Devil’s Curse

“Have you failed?”

[It is.]

The Crown Prince heard unexpected news.

The demon king’s army, who always succeeds when he prepares something, fails in his plan.

Of course he had already heard the report.

Out of that many test takers, as many as 50 people died, so even if you couldn’t kill half of them, isn’t it a lot?

But it is called failure.

“I’m sorry about that… . However, failure is failure, and the price must be paid.”

[Other than the obvious. However, I plan to raid the academy as much as I couldn’t kill it.]

“It doesn’t matter, but I can’t help you like this time. A large number of test takers died, so the political blow was huge. It’s a mess not only in the academy, but also in the cabinet.”

[The crown prince’s help is always appreciated, so I’ll give you a greater reward.]

“I gave you a big one, so I don’t mind.”

Then, the prince suddenly asked about one thing.

“Come to think of it, the bishop hasn’t heard from you. Did you take care of it?”

[…Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will be as planned.]

“Then, it doesn’t matter.”

After a short conversation, the high-ranking demon left the prince’s bedroom.

I lost so much because of this.

The hero didn’t wake up, and even the wizard who was supposed to die survived intact.

He only took 50 lives, but what he gained was very poor.

Weiying-

Communication from across the dimension.

All they could see was their shadows, but the high-ranking demons bowed down and showed their utmost respect.

[He is the King of Death.]

– I heard you failed miserably.

[That’s right. At least I tried to find the reason, but even the shadow I left to watch the progress met death.]

– It’s either one of the two, either there is a person capable of catching the hidden shadow, or it was a situation where even the shadow had to come forward.

The Commander-in-Chief silently gave instructions.

– It seems that there is a big variable that even the devil could not predict. To find out after a thorough investigation.

[As ordered.]

– Also, since the peace negotiations for the royal family are ahead, prepare for this as well.

[I know that too.]

– …good job.

After the connection was over, the high-ranking demons gnashed their teeth.

A bloody life engulfed the surroundings.

[I will definitely tear the limbs of the guy who gave me this shame and throw him into hell.]

I don’t know what that variable is.

You’ll find it if you look around.

I will definitely repay the disgrace.

The high-ranking demons were furious.

**

…I gradually woke up in a comfortable bed.

My last memory is the last time the hero broke the barrier, and then I passed out.

Perhaps it was because he had already overworked himself mentally and physically, as soon as he let go of the tension, he collapsed.

So I thought, this time, I couldn’t die in the end.

No, the people around them who are trying to save the Undead somehow are amazing.

Or do you think it’s stupid?

I think the fact that I am an immortal needs to be known someday.

Even if you try to die, it’s hard to use the strength of the undead because people around you keep stopping you from dying.

I have no idea when that time will be.

Besides, Bessia was sleeping on her bedside next to her.

…In addition, Caron was there, and Fran was dozing off while reading a book next to him.

everyone was gathered

This, the moment I woke up, it seemed that the hell of royalties would unfold, but I still can’t wake up.

…I thought of a better way.

“Caron.”

“…ah?”

“Caron, come here quietly when you wake up.”

“Ah, yes, yes!”

Certainly like a skilled maid, she quietly ran towards me.

I shed tears as if I was very happy that I had woken up.

“Do, Bocchan, I’m glad. You’re awake.”

“So Caron, can you tell me how faint I am?”

“It must have been about three days.”

“Then can you also explain what happened while you passed out?”

After clearing her mind for a while, Caron began to unravel a series of events one by one.

“First of all, the school decided to close for a while, and at the same time, a funeral was held.”

“A lot of people are dead, so it makes sense, what else?”

“There is a strong public opinion to hold the crown prince responsible for this.”

“Other than that.”

“The warrior went to church. He was probably called in to receive an oracle about a series of incidents and also to investigate statements in the church.”

He was a busy man, so it was no surprise that he wasn’t here.

Check out one by one.

First off school.

It’s a good thing that you definitely have time to spare.

It’s only natural to take a break for a while now that such a big event has happened.

It’s fortunate that the entrance ceremony wasn’t held while I passed out.

Second, the crown prince.

He stayed strong until I destroyed the royal family with my own hands.

Perhaps this political crisis will be easily overcome.

If there is something that is somewhat questionable, it is now at least dead due to my intervention, but a greater disaster occurred before the return.

If you think that you have preserved your seat even then, there is probably something that can overturn public opinion.

maybe sooner or later

There’s no way to do anything about the crown prince right away anyway, and even if the crown prince is removed, the royal family behind him doesn’t disappear.

There was no need to use a method to attack the crown prince with this case.

third warrior.

The warrior is actually one of the members of the church.

It was only natural that he had been given strength and blessings from God.

That’s why the warrior trusted the church very much, and it could be said that he had believed in it.

Because the church was the institution that delivered the word of God soon.

I roughly sorted out what happened after I passed out.

“Then Caron, can you take me out?”

“Yes?”

“Give me some support, my body is swollen.”

“All right.”

So now, what I have to do now is to escape from here.

After hearing Besiah’s words, I felt a sense of crisis that this place could become a confinement room at any time.

Her healing power was outstanding, and her body, which was expected to be able to move after a month of recuperation, was overflowing with vitality, so I didn’t feel the need to be confined here.

I took one step at a time, supported by Caron, as quietly as possible.

The moment you make a mistake here, you will be jailed for a month.

No, home confinement would be more appropriate than prison.

But that or that, there is nothing different.

The moment I reached the door like that and slowly turned the doorknob and tried to escape from here.

Jump!

There was a person who opened the door from the other side in a clamor.

“uh?! Argal, are you awake already?”

Raeli, who wrapped her stomach in a bandage, greeted me.

I tried to overcome this crisis verbally as much as possible.

“I’m glad Raeli, you’re fine.”

“Well, there was a priest who happened to save me when I went out of the barrier… .”

“Argaaal?”

Damn, it’s late.

When I turned my head, I saw Bessia with a very brutal face.

“Did you try to run away?”

“A big misunderstanding… .”

“What a misunderstanding! Fran, get it!”

Kugu Palace-!

Just one word from Bessia created a barrier surrounding me.

It wasn’t a high-level barrier, but it was incredibly fast.

Surely, the last time I fought alone against a high-ranking demon, my skills improved.

It wasn’t very good news now.

“Where are you going?”

“…Fran, even you.”

“What, what should I do, that young boy?”

Caron was in the midst of panic, not knowing what to do, but he couldn’t help it.

It was difficult to break through forcefully here, and there was no answer to follow-up with a dagger.

All that is left is the root of the star, but would you just wait and see how they amplify mana?

Bessia glared at me with a very bloody gaze and said.

“Now then, let’s see where they tried to escape… ?”

“I’m feeling a bit stiff, so let’s go for a short walk.”

“Where are you going to play a frog?”

Bessia, who held my hand tightly, suddenly changed her mood.

She said, stroking her still scarred left hand with a loving hand.

“You promised, you did.”

Recall the promise you made before you parted ways with her at church.

“Let’s go to a cafe together and eat something delicious.”

“…right.”

“You promised to run away alone?”

“That is not my intention.”

Confinement or whatever, it was a joke after all.

I thought about it seriously in the first place, but I want to become something else.

…Let’s pretend we’ve passed the big crisis and get over it.

Raeli, who was listening to it, was delighted.

“what? Are you going to a cafe? Then let’s go together.”

“uh? Is it like that? Then I’ll wear some clothes!”

“what? I never said I would go with you guys!”

Bessia seems to have wanted to drink coffee and eat dessert alone, but it seems that it was already too late from the moment she spoke in front of the two of them.

Bethia felt sorry for the world, but eventually accepted the situation and moved to change her clothes as well.

“Okay, I can’t help it. If you run away again, then do you really not leave it alone?”

“…keep that in mind.”

“Stay still!”

Dada da da-

Then, he looked at Bessia, who ran away, and smiled.

I thought I’d go to the cafe with Bessia, but that doesn’t mean I’ll have to go with Fran and Raeli.

I didn’t expect that.

All that remains is Caron.

Caron only served me in a theft position.

…Perhaps it was Caron who worried the most about this incident.

He didn’t return to the estate and stayed at the academy until now.

How long have you been sleepy?

“Come with me, Caron.”

“Yeah? Can I still?”

“I’m going to wear it in everyday clothes, not as a maid, but as someone on vacation.”

“really?”

Caron was visibly delighted.

Seeing the pervasive smile on her lips made me feel better too.

“What do you sell at the cafe?”

“They sell delicious coffee. Come to think of it, the young master doesn’t drink much coffee.”

“That goes for you too. Where is the cafe in the country estate?”

“hehehehe, but I still have a chance to taste it.”

To go to a cafe as soon as you wake up.

It was a very odd schedule.

It wasn’t bad to take a break for a while.

Thinking of that, let’s walk outside for a while.

…countless numbers of flowers decorated the front of the room.

“What is this?”

“These are flowers given to you by the students while the boy was injured and passed out.”

The numbers were never small.

At that time, wouldn’t it be like this if all the students left one by one?

Why did you give flowers to me, who is not yet dead?

So, are most of them colorful flowers, not lilies?

I picked up a flower and smelled it.

A colorful scent tickled my nostrils.

…It’s not really worthwhile.

Because it was unimaginable before the return.

I just stood there quietly.

**

“Cough, Cough!”

In the dark room, Bishop La Vega coughed again and again.

He was writing a letter, relying on the light of a small candle, but the bishop, who felt that his body was rapidly weakening with each passing day, managed to stand up and put away the paper he had written.

“Cough, really, Cough, that’s strange.”

I received many replies.

There were favorable responses, and there were also people who agreed to accept the offer.

Here, the big incident at the academy shook the royal family.

More and more people in power are interested.

An unprecedented opportunity has arrived.

The bishop wanted to seek help from more powerful people, even at the expense of his sick body.

But it was strange.

Even so, the bishop was a priest with divine power.

It is a body that has little to do with minor illnesses.

But the Bishop of La Vega has recently been seriously unwell.

“Coke!”

Coughing up to coughing up blood at once.

Wiping the blood with trembling hands, the bishop murmured.

“How could even the blood… .”

dump-

Then, all of a sudden, my whole body felt weak.

As Bishop Lavega sat down, he knew where the strangeness had come from.

A mark of the devil that was born from the back of the hand.

As a priest, it is a mark that cannot be unknown.

“The devil’s curse? How the hell.”

thud-!

After realizing that, there was no way to respond.

The devil’s curse was already placed on the bishop’s body.

All that remains is death.

“You have to tell me, you have to.”

The bishop could not fall like this.

If he died like this, he would not be able to tell the dirty parts of the royal family.

The royal family, which has rotted from the inside, will soon destroy the entire kingdom.

And, he was worried that the sword of the church, which had rotted like the royal family, would reach that child besides himself.

I tried to write just one more letter with all my remaining strength.

In order to inform the maximum facts.

To leave the words that it is dangerous and run away.

moved the pen

“…Bessia, please, survive.”

However, the bishop, who had already exhausted himself, put down his pen.

The bishop’s last words did not reach Bessia.

dump-

So the bishop fainted.
