106 – Death of Kim Bin (3)

* * * *

smart.

A voice was heard along with a sharp knock.

I always moved my body as if it were a habit to hear the sound at the same time and in the same way, and finally applied a white cream around my eyes.

“Your Highness, it is time for breakfast.”

“…Yeah! I’m leaving now!”

When I open the door, Marianne bows to me as always.

“Today’s breakfast menu is salmon steak with basil and lemongrass, various garnishes, and…”

A lengthy explanation followed that could be said to be lengthy.

However, without expressing any complaints, he just waited in silence for Marianne’s explanation to end.

In a princess-like posture, with a princess-like smile on her face.

“…That is all.”

“It looks so delicious! It would have been nice if Marianne could have eaten it too. It’s always a pity.”

“You’re saying too much. More than that…”

“yes?”

“Did you sleep well last night?”

… .

… .

“Yes! Of course! Didn’t Marianne tell you that getting enough sleep is more important than anything else?”

“……If Her Highness is like that, then I understand.”

“Okay, then shall I go?”

As I take the first step, Marianne bows deeply again and says,

“I will prepare tea and incense that are good for quality sleep. Please use them… The only light of the empire.”

“…Okay! Thank you. I’ll let you know how it went after I wrote it~”

I’m sleeping well, so why are you so persistent?

Thank you for worrying about me, but it goes too far.

However, it was not like a princess to give a rough answer.

With dignity in each of these trivial things, he did not neglect them and left with a kind reply to Marianne.

“Her Highness, did you cough?”

Ian Cedric greeted me with a respectful bow.

They say you don’t have to do that, but isn’t it just waiting for me to come in front of the student cafeteria every day?

Sometimes, on days when my stomach is bloated, there are days when I want to skip meals, but I think I’m being too strict.

“It’s okay if you don’t say hello like that.”

“…I’m sorry, but I can’t.”

ha.

Where the hell did he learn this shit stubbornness?

Before, I thought I was just a nice fool, but now I see that there is no such thing as sweet pumpkin.

I shake my hand lightly and walk into the restaurant, when Ian Cedric walks in behind me.

“Today, I want you to eat all the meals given to you.”

that’s the sound again

What number is it?

“I can’t eat it all because I have a small stomach. What’s wrong with this unavoidable problem?”

“But when we all ate lunch together before…”

… .

… .

Ian’s eyes trembled violently as he looked at me.

hands too. legs too.

As if you were told you had to walk on ice that was about to break.

“Oh, no. Forget it.”

“…sweet.”

Talking about it, I feel like I’m a little depressed.

again and again.

Every time the shoes of the uniform made footsteps, everyone’s eyes turned to me, and then withdrew.

As if I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.

It was not a look of disgust, fear, or avoidance.

Rather… remorse?

If he dared to have sympathy for the imperial princess, if this were the empire instead of the academy, he would have nothing to say even if he was punished severely.

‘No, a true princess should have a broad mind.’

okay.

Maybe I don’t have what they have.

For example, Yeoni… .

“Oh, look at my mind. Breakfast menu…give me a little less than the amount, and I don’t need dessert.”

“Ah, I see…”

am i scared

All of the faces I’m not familiar with tremble when I put them in front of me. I want why

I moved again and took my seat right in the center, not the corner where people always sat, where people couldn’t see.

Because from some time ago, this center seat became the designated seat for our party members.

… Why is that corner empty?

Even if the seats are full, no one wants to sit there.

Did the rumor spread that he was cursed?

“Hello, Her Highness the Princess.”

“Hello Grace.”

“Ah, hello… Her Highness the Princess.”

“Goodbye, Anna.”

“hi.”

“So hi Bianca, aren’t you with Refre today?”

“Leafre heard that a letter came from Wirydia, so he said he’d be a little late.”

“I see.”

As I sit down, everyone starts glancing at me.

… I’m not a spectator.

It was Grace who spoke first after carefully checking her eyes.

“Her Highness, today… I’ll give you a blessing and recovery.”

“I’m always grateful… but no matter how much it is, it’s a saintess, is it okay to give preferential treatment to individuals like this?”

Grace’s gaze is directed toward my chest.

I don’t know why they’re looking at me when the same girls say there’s something to see, but if I compare the size, it’s much bigger over there.

“…It’ll be fine. I’m sure. Rather, I just want you to know that it’s not all-powerful because it’s a blessing and rejuvenation.”

“I know that much.”

“Someone who knows…!!!”

Jump up.

Grace screamed and jumped out of her seat.

“Why, yeah…? Is there something wrong?”

I tilted my head, not knowing why.

There was a little bit of moisture in her eyes.

He shook his head and sat back in his seat.

“it’s nothing.”

Next was Anna.

“Wow, Her Highness… These are medicines that are good for your health.”

Anna brought all kinds of potions today.

He spreads various potions on the table and, as always, starts explaining them to me one by one.

“This is a rejuvenating drug. This is a mind and body tranquilizer. These are various nutritional supplements.”

“…Are there no sleep inducers today?”

“Ah. If you continue to take it, it will have fatal effects on your health…”

“I see.”

He licked his lips with regret.

I didn’t know if I would have to stay up all night.

I could see you even in my dreams… .

What book should I spend the night reading?

It is always after the morning sun emerges that we know that the night has passed.

Because thick curtains are drawn in my room every night.

Marianne blocked her from seeing the night sky.

Is it because I don’t sleep at night and only look at the night sky? She was a maid with many worries.

“Oh, the food is here.”

Finally, the long-awaited feast was served.

Carefully slice and chew the salmon, not forgetting to put a smile on your lips to express the taste.

filth… gulp.

“It’s delicious.”

Everyone starts eating after watching my whole process.

I heard that there is a custom in the far east that the elders or those with a higher position should start eating first before they can eat… Is Touhou popular in the academy these days?

“Come to think of it, Ian, from now on, don’t stand guard in the morning in front of the magic department dormitory.

“…All right.”

“It’s prohibited even from afar. Just go to your dorm and sleep.”

“…”

Ian Cedric remains silent.

If you don’t want to listen to me, I can’t help it.

Ian is not a human of the Empire, let alone a subordinate of mine.

“Ehh, do whatever you want.”

“…I just apologize.”

yum,

“Ah, I’m full.”

“””yes?”””

Everyone stares at the food in front of me with blank eyes.

A bite-sized morning bun.

Cream soup with only traces of being touched.

Twice sliced salmon steak.

Garnish is… ate a piece

“It’s delicious, but I’m too full to eat it. Is there anyone who doesn’t have enough? If I don’t care, I’ll give it to you.”

“””…”””

The children who were looking at me all put down their forks and spoons as if they had lost their appetite.

Sudden silence and gloomy atmosphere.

As I nodded my head, I heard Leafre’s voice from afar.

“Li-Cadet Lily…!! It’s a letter from Evangeline-sama!!”

“Uh…thank you, but why did you…?”

“That’s what you thought of checking your mailbox… Ah. No, just open it. Evangeline misses you a lot. And…”

“Refre!!!!”

bang!

Ian Cedric slams the table and screams.

He then closes his eyes and shakes his head at Leafre.

“Ah, ahaha…it’s nothing. Just open it. Read this and cheer up.”

Then he patted my back a few times and left.

When I opened the letter, there was a small note and a flower together.

[This flower… … This is the silver lisianthus you said you liked. I thought about giving you a sunflower or a lilysiana, but I thought this was better… .]

Then, I felt an unbearable feeling of vomiting.

“Oooh!”

“””Your Highness the Princess!”””

I waved my hand at the children who were urgently trying to look after me.

“Oh, it’s okay. I need to go to the bathroom…”

As I hurriedly move my steps, I can faintly overhear conversations.

“What the hell am I supposed to do…”

“Shall we use the potion of memory oblivion…?”

“…I know about that potion, but if the memory comes back in the middle of it, then things won’t be able to be dealt with.

“Well, then how…”

“……Would you mind leaving me alone for a moment?”

“Yes? Where is Grace?”

“I, too, have things to worry about.”

bang!

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I locked the door and regurgitated what I had just eaten.

“ooo!!”

I ended up doing something that the princess couldn’t bear to do.

… are you okay. because no one has seen this

No problem.

i’m right… are living

I’m living properly.

okay.

As ‘yes’ wanted… .

If this is a punishment, I must endure it.

No matter how hard it is, even if I’d rather die, I’ll hold on until the end.

Want to see.

when, how much… Will I be able to see you if I hold on longer?

… I love you.

* * * *

“The 30 knights I heard about… All of them reached the level?”

“If you do that much, you can put your name on the sword castle. Then, did you think that some idiot could defeat 30 people alone?”

“It’s not like that…”

So, the meaning of what Finn was saying now was this.

Even if I become 30 and attack him, I can’t win against him.

Somehow, Selina thought I was weak as fuck.

“Ha… at this rate, I can’t even go around calling myself a disciple of the Sword Saint.”

He lay flat on the ground and complained.

Then, across the dark river, I see guys glaring at us with glimmering eyes.

“What do you mean by that? You have such a great talent that I boast about myself as a disciple.”

… Dude, it’s not appropriate to say hello.

“Hey. Even though I wrote about your experience and went through all the hardships, I’ve reached the level now. But what…”

“If I could accomplish such a feat with my body that can’t even be assassinated, it’s a great talent.”

Pin smiles with her eyebrows raised.

I tilted my head because I didn’t understand.

“What do you mean? Your body can’t be assassinated in the first place?”

like a star. then what am i

Looking at it with those eyes, Finn sighed and began to explain in detail.

“Rather than that, my body is a body that is almost completely focused on knights. No matter how much you display your skills as an assassin, it’s only natural that you can’t display even the tip of your toes.”

“…Explain a little bit more.”

“All living things have their own limitations. For example, humans cannot grow wings.”

“So what you’re saying is, from the point of incorporating into your body in the first place, it couldn’t bloom as an assassin… you mean?”

Finn nodded softly.

“Do you think I reached the pinnacle of knighthood entirely with my mind alone? A basic foundation. It is impossible without a body.”

“If you can reach the peak only with your mind, then you can bring in an elven archer and give him mental training to raise him to the peak of a knight.”

I was at a loss for words.

If so, then I… .

“Then I…”

“It’s safe to say that you belong to the pinnacle as much as I do in that direction. Rather, my body became an obstacle. Look at your body now.”

this place is hell. where the soul dwells

So my body here has the form of a soul.

tall stature.

The skin doesn’t even show any blemishes.

My hands are thin, but they are much longer than my fingers usually felt.

“The skeleton itself is different from mine. You.”

“And, with your eyes, you should be able to see the guys on the other side of the river even in this darkness.”

He turned his head and looked at the guys who were screaming at us.

“…Ah, those demons?”

“Why, do I finally feel that I came to hell?”

food. Laughter flowed out.

“Did you know what I wouldn’t have in heaven? And…”

I looked at them and smiled.

“What are mere devils doing against us.”

The corpses of demons are already scattered all over the land.

Finn’s sword was already stained black with their sticky blood.

“If you want to drag me to hell, I’ll drag you there.”

“Yes, for those who dare not even know the subject, we should make this place their hell.”

Finn and I looked at each other and smiled.
