Chapter 438 – 16. Leriel, the Last Survivor of the Black Moon Clan Who Inherited Her Husband’s Legacy
Rell and Haren followed the crown prince’s advice and had a break, but they didn’t notice the male and female that slowly stretched out on their necks.
– Quaang!
“Captain, this is a big deal! The southern residence was attacked by the emperor’s subjugation party.”
“What… “
“The emperor himself is leading the punitive force and enslaving all the members again. The information that they are torturing the members who have asked for the location of the leader and kept their mouth shut… “
“Haren.”
“… Ropilman, did he know?”
Haren realized that there was no one she could trust anywhere in the world anymore, and she gnashed her teeth and put on her coat.
“Haren, that body is dangerous.”
“… No, it’s something I have to put an end to.”
“Captain, what will you do?”
“Where is Heidenrich II?”
“Now we are continuing to move south. It seems that we have already grasped the location of our residence.”
“Haren, you must not move according to the Emperor’s will. Even now, we must gather the remaining members together and fight to the end.”
“Right, Captain, shall we call all the members?”
Everyone shouted and persuaded her to fight, but Haren looked at the silver-eyed woman standing next to her and shook her head.
If the emperor had been pointing out this place as the target, it was clear that the target would be Rell and himself.
Haren sacrificed himself without hesitation because the emperor, who had enslaved Rell’s mother and even Raena and put a leash around their necks, would not leave Rell alone.
“… An old abandoned mine owned by Krafton, there is a hidden shelter there. Rell, gather all his men and hide there. The emperor lures them here.”
“Haren, then you… “
“… Jotun, gather the members and tell them what I just said. And I have a little talk with Rell, so when she leaves, she goes right there. Miles knows where the shelter is, so she can ask for directions.”
“… I understand, Captain.”
-Kooung!
After the man called Jotun left, Haren and Rell, who were left alone in the room, held each other’s hands and exchanged sad glances.
Lel, who looked only at herself and stayed by her side until the end, she never wanted to see her fall off the cliff like her ugly women, soiled by her emperor’s hands.
“The mining bombs used in the abandoned mine are now prepared at the place. No matter how fast the emperor is, he won’t be able to close the distance to here all at once.”
“Haren, what do you mean by that? Let’s fight together, without you I… !”
“Lell!”
“… !”
“… It’s not enough, thank you for being by my side who didn’t achieve anything and only hurt you. Now it’s my turn to repay the favor.”
“Haren, no, let’s run away together! Even if the Liberation Corps disappears… As long as you have it, that’s enough. Please… “
“… “
Haren was moved by the fact that she believed in her cause and followed her to the end and made her heartbreaking request that even if her Liberation Corps disappeared, she would not be without him, but she gave up with tears in her eyes.
“Lel, I actually wanted to hand this to you.”
-Sreuk
“Ah… “
Sensing the silver ring on her slender finger, the cool feel and light weight, and Haren’s love in it, Rell wiped away her blurry vision with the back of her hand and looked at the man in front of her eyes, but once the blurry vision could not be cleared. Did not
– Quaang!
“Captain, vice-captain! They say the Emperor is approaching now, but we haven’t climbed the mountain yet… If so, it’s just a matter of time. It is said that even the wizard is accompanied.”
“The abandoned mine is an outskirts that belongs to Krafton and doesn’t even have a territory or village nearby, so the emperor won’t be able to approach it. It seems like he did some tricks on us the last time we infiltrated him, but… Rell, now you don’t have to worry about being chased by the emperor.”
“Haren, Haren!”
“Jotun, take Rell with you, and… Thank you.”
“… Thank you, Captain.”
“Are you going to leave Haren alone!? Let’s all fight together, Haren! Say something! Under… !”
– Perok!
Although it is a Lel that is close to the Sword Master, he could not grasp the movements of Haren, who had reached that level first. Haren, who collapsed helplessly, was grabbed by Jotun, who stretched out, and Haren watched her and handed her one last favor.
“Everyone, take good care of Lel. He’s such a nice person, he’ll probably do whatever he can to succeed in my footsteps.”
“… We will never forget the leader.”
Jotun, who had already guessed Haren’s sacrifice, he silently bowed his head and gave her one last greeting, and Haren quietly left the room and watched the assembled members.
“… “
The eyes of the members filled the vast cave.
Haren, who read the will, determination, and sadness contained in it, expressed gratitude for the fact that he was able to finish as the leader of the Slave Liberation Corps thanks to them and how inadequate and unsightly he was after meeting the emperor and falling into disappointment. Felt.
“Everyone has worked hard, and please take good care of Lel.”
-Turbuck, turbuck, turbuck!
Members quickly exit the cavity and Haren watched it.
After all the members had left, Haren slowly looked over the empty Liberation Corps hideout and headed to the warehouse for the final decoration.
The mine was the largest gold mine on the continent before it was abandoned. Adding to the joke, the explosives prepared to develop the place were large enough to blow up a whole mountain where Haren’s hideout was hidden.
The last gift for the members who followed him, who showed only his ugly side until the end.
Haren looked at the pile of explosives filling the cavity and hideout and prayed for Lel’s well-being and happiness.
Someday, I hope to see you again.
The little moon I loved.
***
– Boom!
“Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha… !”
“… Are you awake?”
“… Jotun.”
Lell woke up with his head on the back of his neck and a dizzying headache.
She got out of bed and hurried out of her room, ignoring the anxiety that overtook her.
– Jump!
“Ah… “
A structure you see for the first time in a landscape you see for the first time. However, Lel, who swallowed her drool at the appearance of a wider hideout than before, with everything she needed, swallowed her anxiety and asked a question.
“… Haren, did you follow him?”
“… “
“Answer me!”
“Captain Haren… “
“—–“
Kwuk, the collar is released, and Tuk, Lel’s hands hang down.
Jotun, who had delivered the shocking news, guessed Lel’s disappointment and disappeared with the words to take a rest. Lel quietly entered the room, wet the floor with tears and empty eyes.
The emperor and his subjugation party disappeared into dust along with half of the mountain due to Haren’s last defiance.
The entire continent was surprised at the fact that a person worth an emperor had vanished so futilely, but the prince’s behind-the-scenes work was widespread in the background.
He prepared a means to neutralize the emperor’s artifacts and left his closest aides in the empire. Using the slaves he favored as bait, the prince urged the emperor to subdue them quickly so that their loneliness would not go away, and in the process he also brought up a story about the runaway slave, Lel.
The emperor who was particularly mad at women’s sex, regardless of the position he held, yearned for Lel and went to her lair on his own, and the result was an explosion that was so certain that it was futile.
After the death of the emperor, the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor, took care of all the atrocities and atrocities committed by Heidenrich II, and led the empire in a new direction.
All the slaves of the emperor disappeared, slavery was abolished, and there was resistance from numerous nobles, but Heidenrich III, who became the new emperor, began to reorganize the empire with many people on his back.
In the meantime, Lel and the Slave Liberation Corps continued to reorganize quietly, hiding in the dark.
The Liberation Corps fell into despair as they realized the vacancy of their leader, Haren, but even after the abolition of slavery, the widespread slave market did not disappear, hiding in the shadows, so they quietly waited for their time.
“Now, it is time to stand up.”
After Haren’s death, Lell took a break and shut himself up in his room for several years.
She appeared, sorting out her feelings for her Haren and her anger at her emperor, and with a small pledge of her own, stroked the ring on her hand.
‘Even though you are no longer there, I will live as your woman, taking you as her husband… I will create a world where there are no slaves and everyone can live fairly.’
The crown prince, no, Heidenrich III, now the emperor, could not be trusted at all.
Rell did not think that Heidenrich III was irrelevant to the background of the emperor’s subjugation party safely approaching the residence that day. Since she was a man with a serpentine temperament, she must have been up to something, she judged.
The revival of the Slave Liberation Corps began like that.
The Liberation Corps, which started in an abandoned mine and spread all over the continent, raided the slave market hidden in the shadows and displayed the heads of dirty nobles on the streets, raising the name of the Liberation Corps.
Lell also moved diligently.
Based on the underground waterway, it has been playing around with the luxuries of the nobles and raising funds so that the members can live comfortably.
It was a liberation corps that started to succeed Haren, but gradually, her men, whom she saved with her own hands, settled down and followed her. Rell became attached to her every day.
“Haren… “
Every night when I lay in bed and touch the ring he gave me, I remembered his warmth, his eyes, and his love, but Lel didn’t stop.
Harder than anyone else, and harder than anyone else.
He didn’t mind coming in to take care of his family, he raised funds so that the Liberation Corps, which succeeded Haren’s will, would not disappear, and even held the hand of the crown prince, the son of Heidenrich III, whom he hated, to protect the Slave Liberation Corps.
Lell gradually changed his mind and, like the crown prince’s private soldier, raided the slave market he informed him of and even traded weapons.
Even though she knew that she had no one to control her, she put her unreasonable plan into action with the thought of doing it for the liberation group.
And in the end-
-Tap, pop, pop…
“Ah… “
Jjeok, the thirst you feel in your mouth the moment you open your mouth.
Her lips and mouth were dry, but the tip of her tongue and the roof of her mouth were palpable, and the touch of cold metal on her chained limbs seemed to freeze her bones.
Rell only closed her eyes for a moment, but then she fell asleep and realized that her body was broken because she had even dreamed about her.
The moment the long dream ends and you realize that it was all a dream and the past, you feel a sense of futility.
Lell moved her damn, parched lips, rested her parched tongue on her lower teeth, and moved her jaw, but her dried, starfish-like tongue didn’t get crushed by her teeth.
-Ugh, ugh…
An artifact that made it impossible to dream of intentional self-harm, self-determination, and rebellion. Recalling the wizard who talked about the magical aesthetics of the black choker stuffed around her neck, Rell realized that she had completely fallen into Oberon’s hands and looked beyond her bars with her empty eyes.
– Iron puck, iron puck, iron puck
The sound of muddy footsteps echoing through the wet bricks.
The heavy, dull footsteps were the sound of a man’s footsteps, so Lel realized that he was completely naked and tried to hide his private parts by twisting his arms and legs, but only the protruding breasts and buttocks were shiny and swayed gently.
-Clap, squeak!
The iron grate opens helplessly the moment the key fills the hole and unlocks the lock.
Over there, he knew that if he stretched his arms and legs a little, he would be free to escape, but Lell tried to laugh at the man who was entering to avoid having false hopes.
“It’s awake.”
Hearing a voice that was familiar somewhere, a voice filled with unknown emotions, Lel raised his head and faced the man’s face. Lel stiffened her face, pursed his dry lips, and looked at the man with a voice boiling with phlegm.
“You guys… “
“It’s been a while, Lell.”
Neatly grown black hair, black pearl-like black eyes that you don’t know what to think.
At the appearance of Cassano, the man who had imprisoned his subordinate, Catra, and entrapped himself with Enremia, Lel shook his iron grip and chain, burning his eyes.
