5 – Resummoned 3

“Why, even if I gave you the whole empire, I couldn’t give you your neck? Your Majesty the Great Emperor.”

The fact that Chaejin’s way of speaking kept going back and forth between being polite and being polite meant that she wanted to ridicule the other person.

Such intention worked very well, and the emperor’s body convulsed slightly as he heard Chaejin’s grinning.

Originally, it was because of anxiety and regret, but now the proportion of anger is high.

But I am the emperor? Isn’t he, the emperor himself, giving up all his dignity and everything and begging for understanding?

But still, being rude like that…….

“… ….”

Though he thought so, the emperor could not say anything.

If you go this way, you will perish; if you go that way, you will perish.

Because I know that the only salvation is for the hero to change his mind.

Once again, the weight of the emperor’s head meant nothing to Chaejin.

From the time he was born until now, the emperor, who had always thought of himself as the center of the world, felt himself extremely humble.

If you just pretended to give me half of the empire and took the time to steal it, there wouldn’t be any problem.

It was ridiculous to even think of him trying to swallow it without getting used to it and then having his airway blocked and trying to kill himself.

“You pretended to be for the people, but now that your life is at stake, you become dumb right away. If you have nothing more to say, I’ll leave. I will stay in this world and watch how you perish.”

As if it wasn’t worth talking about anymore, Chaejin turned around.

Marquis Alfred had the urge to tear the hero to pieces right away, but he had no choice but to move his feet.

Killing it would be useless, and in the current situation, no matter how you fight the hero, you will only lose.

Crucially, there was no manpower left to follow his orders.

There was nothing he could do at this point, with the possibility of the imperial family collapsing just around the corner.

Nothing really.

‘You can’t let it go like this! I have to do it somehow, somehow!’

The head mage of the imperial family, Rondo, felt an indescribable sense of danger as he watched the hero walk away without regret.

‘Think about it. There must be something that can turn the hero’s heart.’

At that time, there was a person who flashed in Rondo’s mind.

‘Elua Rike!’

Elua of the Lyke family was one of the disciples who learned magic at the Mage’s Tower in Rondo and the fiancé of the hero.

Although she was shot in the back and was forcibly exiled, she was full of rage against the world, but it was clear that her heart would weaken when she saw her lover.

‘Just in time, the child is here.’

Only Chaejin and Elua knew about the tragedy that happened that night.

Unaware of that, Rondo hurriedly stopped the hero.

“Wait a minute, champion! Here is your fiancé! El Lua Rique, you say that the woman she loved is here!”

“…… ?”

Chaejin suddenly stopped and turned her head.

A face full of absurdity.

So what? Seemed to say

Sensing that it was agitated, Rondo hurried to act.

“Elua, come out here!”

To Elua, Rondo’s sudden acceleration was like a thunderstorm.

‘Oh no. No no… ….’

At this rate, I will not be able to follow Chaejin’s orders.

I desperately covered my face and lay dead in a corner.

“What are you doing! Come on, don’t come out!”

Elua stood motionless and prayed as if time had stopped.

I hope Chaejin ignores all that and goes outside.

But he’s standing there waiting.

He seemed to be waiting for himself with a face that seemed to ask him to come out somewhere.

“… ….”

Suddenly, all eyes around him were focused on him.

No matter how much you cover your face, people standing right next to you know.

That you are Elua Rike.

She shuddered at the thought of having to face Chaejin again, but she reluctantly walked forward.

Finally, when Elua came to her side, Rondo began to persuade her hero.

“If you are wise, you do not know. If the world perishes, the woman you loved will also die.”

Chaejin did not respond and walked toward Elua.

“Elua.”

“Hero… ….”

Seeing that, Rondo thought he was almost done, but things turned out quite differently than he thought.

As soon as Elua saw her champion before her eyes, she fell on her knees and prostrated herself like a sinner.

“Sorry, sorry, hero. The order to never appear in front of you again, I couldn’t keep it. Sorry Sorry… ….”

“That’s okay. I’ve been waiting to see you once. Rather than that, remove all the things that cover your face.”

When told to show her face, Elua carefully raised her upper body, took off her hood, and put away her cloth.

Chaejin stared at the woman’s face as she looked up at herself.

His trembling eyes, as if struggling with anxiety and guilt, are moist.

Dark circles, contrasting with the pale face, were expanding their area with momentum coming down almost to the cheeks.

Her appearance, which is quite shabby for a skilled wizard, gives us some idea of what kind of life she was leading.

“What is that like?”

“How can a traitor enjoy a happy life…….”

“Who is your fiancé?”

“The marriage was broken up.”

“If she was going to make me so miserable and leave, she should have lived better.”

“Sorry. My pitiful life, please use it to vent your anger.”

“Are you angry?”

Chaejin lowered her stance to level her eyes with El Lua.

“It’s been a while. It’s not that long, but it’s enough time to change people’s minds. There’s not much emotion about that time now, Elua. Did you have to deceive me? I understand everything. It was an order from these rotten things, so you couldn’t help it, because if you don’t do it right, you’ll die.”

Even though her words were nuanced as if she was forgiving, the strangely cold atmosphere made Elua feel the fear of the unknown.

What the hell are you going to say next…….

“You can’t be the target of your anger. No matter how you die, it doesn’t matter to me. You’re nothing to me He said he doesn’t feel anything when he sees your face like this.”

Wow.

A clear liquid trickled down from her moist eyes.

She cried about what she did well. She held back the tears at the thought of this, but for some reason, her mind went blank and she couldn’t control it.

She knew better than anyone else that her traitor had no right to be hurt or shed tears.

But she doesn’t know where hurt is undeserved.

What Chaejin just said was a mortal wound to Elua.

Chaejin gets up and walks toward the outside of the imperial palace as if everything is really over.

Only the footsteps of a man and the sobs of a woman echoed endlessly in the hall.

‘What is it? Betrayed? A fiancé other than the hero? No way… ….’

Rondo stood blankly and inferred the situation from the information he had just learned from the conversation.

And it didn’t take long to come to a conclusion.

Kiki….

Rondo asked as soon as the hero opened the door and left.

“Elua, by any chance…… Were you abandoned because you couldn’t give up your feelings? To the warrior?”

“… ….”

Elua could not bear to answer.

Seeing that, Rondo felt uncomfortable for a moment.

‘Wait, didn’t I know this? I knew it, but I feel like I forgot it.’

But it was such a vague and elusive memory that it soon became embedded in the depths of my memory.

‘No, more than that. Everything looks ruined because of this bitch!’

That small sense of incongruity was sublimated into anger toward the junior who had violated the imperial order.

“I-I-I…” … This disgusting thing!”

Wow!

The palm of her big swing slapped her across the cheek without hesitation.

She was Elua, who collapsed and landed on her floor, but she didn’t even think about fixing her posture.

She just lay her body on her floor, staring into her void and weeping.

“You must have sworn! The moment I enter the hero’s assistant, I will kill all hearts and act only for the empire. But why are you paying for this month because you can’t throw away love!”

Rondo, who participated in the expulsion of the hero, had no words to say, but now he needed a target to vent his anger, anxiety, and confusion that was about to explode.

And Elua could be said to be a very suitable target.

“Even if only you did well! Even if only you did well, I could have turned the warrior’s heart! It is as if the world is perishing because of your greed for choosing your fiancé over a warrior!”

Correlation is long gone.

In the first place, what the hero felt extremely betrayed was the deportation and the attitude of the nobles.

Of course, it is true that Elua gave Chaejin a terrible feeling, but that has nothing to do with destruction.

‘I…… I’m guilty…….’

Elua did not have the slightest intention to refute the words of Rondo, who tried to shift all her responsibilities onto herself.

She actually said that how she looks, she seems to have all the responsibility herself.

She said that if she had done well, if it hadn’t happened that day, Chaejin would have saved the world just by looking at her face.

Chaejin was such a person.

‘Because I was stupidly indecisive, because I was swept away by the situation, because I lacked decisiveness, so…… Everything will disappear because of me… ….’

[She’s my girl, my fiancée, and she’s been waiting for the day she’ll hold a ceremony with only you in her heart ever since she was young. ]

[ It doesn’t make sense to marry someone who suddenly appears, damn it! I’ve never even held my hand properly……. ]

[ I must have bitten and sucked it to my heart’s content during the trip anyway. I would have given up purity. I’ll try it just once, what’s the problem? ]

[ Don’t you feel sorry for me? ]

[ Since I was young, I’ve only loved you, and if you feel a little sorry for me for trying to be a man that suits you, don’t resist. ]

While she was nervous about her first experience with Chae-jin, Jeron, the fiance chosen by her family, suddenly burst into the room.

Even if you say that the engagement was decided by the family, that it was only accepted out of a sense of duty, and that he had never been in love, he recklessly tried to commit it.

No matter how much she is a member of the warriors party, the warriors party has a deformed structure in which the strength of the party members does not matter much due to the special protection of the protection, so the combat power itself is not very strong.

The opponent is a descendant of a knight family, and he has some talent.

When they were close together in such a narrow place, the compatibility was at a level that could be said to be the worst.

Still, he had better skills on his side, so if he had risked his life and fought desperately, he could have escaped…….

For some reason, her body did not gain strength.

‘Why, was it?’

Feeling guilty and heartbroken that she suddenly fell in love with another man after she’d stayed still for over 15 years, as if the time had come for her to hold a ceremony?

If I had to look for a reason, I could only come up with that much of her.

But I still had my doubts.

It is hazy and unrealistic, but she is confused only by the fact that she did it.

She should have resisted, no matter what, even if it meant death.

Even if you feel guilty, even if your heart hurts, it shouldn’t have even the slightest amount of room when you think of Chaejin, who made me know what love is.

There is not a single day that I do not regret that moment.

If you had a hundred days, you would regret it for a hundred days, and if you had a thousand days, you would regret it for a thousand days.

ㅡ Yes, even if only that woman was good…….

ㅡ You said you swore an oath? It’s tantamount to betraying the empire while taking care of the honor of being a member of the warrior’s party.

ㅡ Damn bitch.

Elua has become a traitor to humanity today.

But oddly enough, she didn’t feel hurt at all.

Compared to the fact that now she is no longer an object of hatred or anything to Chaejin, she really feels like a wound that is not even a scar.
