To put it to the conclusion, it would be said that Ashâs face, which Count Suena had glanced inside the Oval Office window as he left the mansion, was a magical fake.
For reference, it was Alex who enjoyed the glory of becoming Ashâs face for half a day.
I donât know about anything else, but he looks similar because his height was taller than average.
As soon as the magic was applied at the time, Alex could hardly take his eyes off the mirror with an almost half-spirited attitude.
What is he doing now? Itâs magic so itâs probably gone, so heâs adjusted to his own face again, right?
I was thinking that, and suddenly I heard the voice of The Queen.
Her voice, originally felt cold, was cooler.
âLet me ask you one question.â
âSure.â
âIf you knew my purpose of trying to kill you from the start, as you said, why did you accept the invitation to call you to the kingdom in the first place? No matter how prepared you are, itâs like crawling into anotherâs trap.â
It must be a question of course. I arranged my words for a moment and answered.
âI was curious.â
âYou are curious?â
âI was curious about what kind of person you were. So to speak. Simple and humane curiosity.â
I added calmly.
âThatâs all. Itâs been cleared up.â
âListening to you makes me wonder one more thing. Did you think you could meet me if you came to the kingdom?â
âYes.â
âWhy? You said you knew my purpose, and I couldâve just ordered my people to kill you from behind without me showing up.â
âWe just talked. I was curious about you.â
ââ¦â¦â¦â
âI thought youâd be as curious about me as I am. So I thought you might want to see me in person before you kill me.â
ââ¦â¦â¦â
âAnd then you really are.â
The Queenâs eyes wriggled.
My answer seemed to go against her nerves. Terribly.
Soon, her mouth twisted and she had a cold smile. She laughed aloud.
âI see. Youâve been reading my action from the start, not enough for all my plans to be discovered by something as green as you are.â
ââ¦.â¦.â
âItâs funny. Aha haha. Itâs so funny that I canât stand itâ¦. something reprehensible.â
The next moment The Queen raised her right hand and waved.
Then the man standing closest to her drew the sword and swung it like a lightning bolt.
It was the Count who fell.
ââ¦â¦.!â
âUgh! Whyâ¦â¦â¦why?â
âWhy? Why? What do you mean by why? Youâre lacking. If I knew you were wrong, I wouldnât be willing to do it right away.â
The Queen spoke coldly to the fallen Count Suena.
The blood from the countâs body soaked the floor and spread to The Queenâs feet, but she didnât bat an eye.
Rather, it was this side that responded.
âOh, how could youâ¦â¦.!â
Sir Davery extended his eyes as if he could not believe it. Then he rolled up his fist and bit his lips in anger.
âI really want to dig out his eyeballs alive!â
ââ¦â¦..â¦.â
âI canât believe you killed him so easily! It was my share!â
âWhy do you hate Count so much?â
Of course, Count Suena was an evil and bad guy who tried to deceive me.
Is that what you want to do? The same reason when he deliberately stepped on his foot openly a few days ago?
No matter how much I asked, he didnât tell me why.
Anyway, I was looking at the upset Sir Davery, resentful for the hope but he would not be able to pray for blessings in the Countâs death, then The Queen again waved her hands in the air.
And all the knights in the room, including her surroundings, pulled the sword accordingly.
The sound of the blade being pulled out of the blade sharply filled all over the place.
The Queenâs mouth opened.
âIâll admit it. It was a funny trick. Iâve been humiliated. So what?â
The subdued amber eyes stared straight at me.
âYou donât think that turning things around like that could corner me, do you?â
The Queen put a laugh on her face.
I feel it again, but no matter what smile she smiles, her smiling face doesnât look like mine at all.
âLook around carefully. What would you do in here, even if you were to tie up the troops outside with monsters? You donât think you can handle all these people with two people at best, do you?â
I had about three things to refute The Queenâs words.
One. The number of monsters I will call by the enchanted cloth is not enough to keep the outside forces tied together. I donât know, but I think itâs enough to push them right away and destroy this building. Iâm just not giving such an order.
Two. Not two at best. The family brought five articles in total. Three more people are hiding.
And three. In fact, two people can do it all. If one of the two is Ash.
âWow, thatâs great.â
Sir Davery showed his admiration without hiding it.
âThis clearly makes me feel like Iâm out of the Empire. I canât believe you trusted this number against His Excellency The Duke. Wow, how refreshing.â
âDavery.â
âYes, knight Davery Sack.â
âCan I leave it to you for a moment?â
âOf course sir.â
It was not difficult to know what was entrusted. Sir Davery took a few steps to protect me.
âIsnât that my role already, Your Excellency?â
Though generally, his duty is limited when the absence or busy time of âHis Excellencyâ. As soon as Sir Davery added so, Ash kicked the seat with a sword in his right hand.
âKill them!â
The startled Queen shouted at once.
As a result, knights armed from all sides rushed toward Ash at once.
But the results were not good. None of them fulfilled The Queenâs orders.
Every time Ash swung the sword out of sight, three or four fell to the floor.
âWow.â
I donât know well and Iâm not a major in it, but itâs probably hard to keep up with action movies. They need to grind people and mix them with special effects to make it look similar.
âUgh!â
âAgh!.â
The number of opponents decorating the floor increased. The one who screamed at least was in a good situation.
Most of them were helping to decorate the floor without even being able to attack back.
ââ¦â¦.!â
When the knights failed to do anything, and died in a flurry, The Queen seemed to falter.
Soon after, she winked at this side, and I could see what that wink meant right away.
Sir Davery cut down the article that was creeping behind me.
âShe must be thinking Iâm like a scarecrow here.â
The Queenâs face hardened to the brim.
ââ¦â¦damn it.â
Soon she turned from her seat. Like trying to run away.
But The Queen could not achieve his will.
Thatâs because the other three knights on our side, as I mentioned earlier, finally revealed themselves as if it was their turn.
âIâm afraid you canât go this way. Your Highness The Queen.â
âPhew, weâre barely getting off this tight helmet.â
âThis is why the retro-blocking role is so damaging.â
The Queenâs foot stopped.
Three family knights in front of her, blocking the retreat.
Ash, who organizes all the knights in the back, wipes out the blood from his sword.
There was nowhere for her to go either way.
For the first time, The Queenâs face was pale with proper defeat.
âYouâd better give up. Thereâs nothing more you can do anyway.â
The Queen. And The Princess, holding The Queenâs arm tightly and hiding.
The last remaining knight to escort those two.
I approached them, accompanied by Sir Davery. The Queen gnashed her teeth at me.
âWhat are you going to do with me?â
âWell.â
I havenât thought about it yet. But there was definitely one thing.
âI canât save you in any way.â
If I save him, sheâll kill me again.
Iâm a man who doesnât easily believe in the reform in reality. Besides, I think it is foolish to show such mercy when my opponent is already trying to kill me.
âAnd even if I wanted to save her, Ash wouldnât.â
Even if I save her now, Ash would slash her from behind.
The Queen shouted at me when I was thinking that.
âYou mean youâre going to kill the mother who gave birth to you?â
âYou tried to kill me first, so I donât think you should say it.â
I shrugged oneâs shoulders. I didnât even feel that line so brazen, perhaps because I already knew who the other person was, by sharing a few earlier words.
It just sounds like crap.
The Queen must have noticed from my manner that her words would not work.
Then she suddenly changed the subject.
ââ¦donât you want to be a queen?â
What?
âQueen?â
âThink about it. Youâre my daughter. Even though youâre wrongly known to be dead.â
The Queen held his arm and took off the shivering princess.
Then he said something incredible.
âKill this.â
ââ¦what?â
âUh, uh, Mother?â
âKill this, and save me instead.
âDonât you have no basis in the kingdom yet? If I die, Iâll lose my crown to the rebels. But when this kid dies and I live, youâre my only heir.â
âââââ
