Chapter 132 – Chapter 132: Leuclid

Profit.

I saw
Ruclid, who was crouching in the corner of the bed without eating food that was cooling down in front of him.
She didn’t even look up at the sound of the door opening.
As if the light shouldn’t reach her, she thoroughly avoided the light and was crouching in the dark.

I saw her expression of her.
A face that has lost everything in the world.

“Are you still doing that?”

Before I could finish my words, Leuclid raised her head.

How many days have you been crying?
Her eyes her were red.

“Maurice…”
“If anyone sees you, you’ll think you’re a person who has lost everything in the world.”
“I lost everything. The emperor’s dignity, his power his, and all the people he believed were his loyal subjects his.”

It was not wrong.
It was me who took it all away.
My words must have sounded deceptive.
However, I couldn’t help it.
If you don’t bite, you’ll be bitten, if you don’t eat, you’ll be eaten.
That is the world of this empire.
There was no guilt in her despair.

I took a step closer to Ruclid.

“I didn’t even eat. How many days have you been starving?”
“I haven’t eaten.”

I looked at Ruclid again.
The ball was drawn in.
I didn’t eat while I was busy with work.

“Ha, you might as well eat some.”
“No.”
“Do you want to die like this?”
“I’d rather die. I don’t want to live like this any longer.”

Leuclid dug his head further.

“Do you want to be the first emperor in history to starve to death?”
“I will become the emperor who died after being dethroned.”

Negative energy continued to rise.
At this rate, I think I’ll repeat the same thing, I really cast a spell on Ruclid.
It was a simple magic to restore the tangled and bound mind.
The magic is simple, but the effect is certain.

The strength in Ruclid’s body, which had been sitting in an uneasy position, was released.
Ruclid’s eyes, which had been staring at empty space with blank eyes until just now, shook.
Tears welled up.
It was much better now than when I was staring at empty space.
At least that means you’ve calmed down enough to shed tears.

I sat next to her without saying anything.

The reason she is in danger right now is that there is no one by her side of her.
Since her heart her was broken by Cecilia, no one has been by her side her.
Having lost even the power he had in such a situation, he must have felt a great sense of collapse.
Even if I poured out more words in this situation, it would not be heard by Ruclid.

So he sat down.
Silently, silently.

“Hey, black, hehe.”

Ruclid cried.
The tears that were welling up were dripping down.
She thought her tears had dried up.
Because I cried for a long time.
But why are there so many tears?

I do not know.
Maurice comes in.
The moment he sat down next to him, he felt an unknown relief and his mind was released.
It had just dried up and hardened.

“Kkeuuuuu”

I remembered Cecilia.
That she did her no good to her.
That there is no turning back now.
It was so sad.
When I heard that, I wish I had understood everything…

How nice.

“Huh uh uh.”

I handed the handkerchief to Ryuclid, who kept crying.
Like a lady, Ryuclid took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears.
The two years that I showed as hallucinations.
Do you have deep memories of that time?
The image of Ruclid wiping away his tears and crying and regretting his past his was a woman.

It wasn’t until after she cried for a while that she calmed down.

“Eat. You may not have an appetite, but eating is living.”

I held out a plate of cold food.

“Why do you keep doing this to me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Wouldn’t it be better for you if I died? Now that the emperor is dead, the usurper becomes the reason to ascend the throne…”
“Sounds useless.”

I interrupted Ruclid.

“When you die, the empire breaks and breaks. I don’t want that.”
“Then why did you attack me? Why did you rebel?”
“It’s not that simple. Isn’t it because of you?”
“… Me?”
“Because you pressured the nobles and broke the peace I wanted.”
“…”
“When I was teaching Seria, he followed me silently. She followed them into battle with other nobles, and was even ordered to put down a rebellion. She is Cecilia… It’s also about healing.”

There were many conflicts in the process, though.

“It did.”

Ruclid said in a crawling voice.

“It’s a disaster we created for each other.”
“…”
“I am telling you because I want to minimize the catastrophe. It’s okay if you die.”
“Ah…”

Leuclid opened her mouth.
The trembling eyes her stuck to me and did not fall.

‘What are you thinking?’
I couldn’t tell.

Ryuclid remembered Sebastian’s words.

-It is because I believe in the master’s choice.
-Because I believe in his ability.

Ability to do anything.
So you can trust it.
He seemed to know a little bit about what that meant.

She sensed an aura similar to hers in Maurice.
The reason why ‘he’ felt strangely wary in the past.
Because Maurice, like her, had the power of her ruler her.

“Ah…”

Ruclid’s body her trembled.
That power that hasn’t come out since turning into a woman.
It was felt by Maurice.

‘Perhaps…’
Wouldn’t he be more suited to be her ruler than the current ‘her she’?
I even heard the thought.

“So eat. Don’t just fall down. I kept it warm.”
“… Okay.”

Leuclid cut the meat Maurice had reheated her.

“Thank you.”
“Okay.”

Ruclid munched and ate the meat.

Dalgrak Dalgrak.

I saw Leuclid eating slowly.
She waited until she finished her food.

Maybe my stomach got smaller, and I couldn’t eat half of it.
After removing the bowl, I said to Ruclid.

“Cecilia is back.”
“Uh…?”

Ryuclid narrowed his eyes.

“What does that mean?”
“You brought Cecilia, whom you have been looking for so long, back to the capital.”
“You hid it like that until a while ago.”
“Because I heard you want to kill me.”
“…”

It was quiet again

“It… Are you here to talk?”
“Okay. I came to tell you that.”
“I see.”

I thought for a while about whether I should say this.
But I don’t think I can tell you anything other than now.

“Cecilia will come.”

I said to Ruclid.

“What does that mean?”
“It is literally. Cecilia will come. I won’t be able to meet you right away, but I’ll come to the mansion once I’m in order.”
“Then, how about we meet like this?”

Ruclid pointed at the woman’s body in her.

He was so manly and slender that he couldn’t remember when he was a man.
Perhaps if Cecilia sees this…

Nothing good will come of it.

“Whoa.”

I sighed.

It was dangerous to bring Ruclid back to normal.
But.
It wouldn’t be a good thing for Cecilia to meet the woman, Leuclid, either.
‘It’s difficult.’

It was a really difficult problem.
To turn or not to turn, at the crossroads of this choice.
What should I choose

Several possibilities came to mind.
I thought for a long time about which option would be the best option.

And i
She snapped her hand at Leuclid.

Fuck!

At the same time, the surrounding mana raged.

***

“You called earlier than expected.”

Cecilia, who came to the mansion, said.

“Thanks to the empress, the capital has started to stabilize.”

If Cecilia hadn’t helped me, the wizards wouldn’t have helped me restore the capital.
Her credit her was great.
Her appreciation for him was unmistakable.

“I don’t like hearing the word empress. In the past, whenever I heard it, I felt good.”

Cecilia’s gaze at me was colder than ever.
Even when I read it in the novel, I read that such eyes were often shown.
It’s my first time seeing it in person.

“I think it is too late to hear that title now. Because the emperor is already in the hands of the minister.”

And I saw
She kept her cold eyes, but she knew that Cecilia’s hand her holding the hem of her skirt her was shaking.
She’s forced to hold on.
Even though the uneasiness that comes whenever I see a man has not healed yet, I came to see Ruclid.

Is it because I’m fine?
I do not know.
Cecilia’s thoughts.

“Is Ruclid inside?”
“That’s right. I am waiting for the Empress, no, Lady Cecilia.”
“I look forward to it. How could you have ruined him?”
“You ruin it.”
“Isn’t that the master of torture? They say that even a strong-minded archmage turns into a crippled person.”
“It’s an old story.”
“Is that so?”

Cecilia laughed.

“Didn’t Emily come along?”
“Yes. She says she doesn’t want to come. He said he didn’t want to see Ruclid. That’s strange. I’m not that kind of person. She becomes a woman and has she changed…”
“I’ll do that because I’m busy.”

She was in charge of many tasks.

I wouldn’t have had time to come here.

“Then follow me.”

I took Cecilia into her mansion her.

Again and again.

The sound of shoes echoed through the hallway.

“Contain the dethroned emperor in his mansion. Only the minister can think of that.”
“Is that so?”
“Sure. How big is his symbolism? I’d rather put you in a dungeon.”

Cecilia’s voice was colder than ever.

She passed through the corridors and arrived in front of the room where Leuclide was staying.

“I will open it.”
“Wait.”

Cecilia put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.

“Whoa, that’s okay.”

I opened the door.
Inside the wide open door.

“Count… Celia.”

Ruclid, who was wearing the imperial white uniform, was waiting.

The woman Leuclide.
