Chapter 34 – Episode 34 the Crossroads of Choice

“Haha, how are you, Minister?”
“Coming to my house, it’s a big deal. Sadrick.”
“It’s not uncommon for subordinates to visit their bosses’ homes and ask how they are.”
Said Sadrick, scratching the back of his head.
“Were you like that?”
“Haha, I can’t go to the boss I respect…”
“Stop the useless flattery.”
“Yep.”
Sadrick smiled awkwardly and sat down on the sofa in the drawing room.
I sat across from Sadrick, facing him.
“So what’s the matter?”
“First of all, I’m thirsty, but would you like some tea?”
Sadrick stroked his neck.
“I will be back soon.”
Before long, Seria opened the door and came in.
“Ohhh, this man of the rumor…”
Sadrick’s eyes lit up as he scanned Seria’s body as she entered with the tray.
A naked sexual desire was revealed in the shining eyes.
“Both breasts and hips are huge. She is also a woman who was the flower of the Empire. The Minister will be happy. But where did you go? There’s no way you wouldn’t have done it, right?”
“Did you come to talk about that?”
“It is not.”
Even as he waved her hand, Sadrick glanced at Seria.
His gulping face was full of desire to do something right away.
“This is a greeting visit. I’m going to do a business report as well.”
“Is it.”
It’s a greeting visit.
I saw Sadrick.
Sadric Wolpart.
He was a member of the imperial faction, slightly different from the moderate Duke Solarion.
The most prominent young talent in the hardline imperial faction, who said that the aristocratic faction should be annihilated.
He, who even served as the Vice Minister of Magic, would not have come to the mansion aimlessly like this.

“It’s because I’m not innocent enough to believe that.”
Haha.”
Sadrick laughed for a moment.
“Sorry. I also feel that you are a minister. You don’t like lengthy introductions even at home.”
Sadrick, stealing her eyes, stared blatantly at Seria’s breasts as she poured her tea.
“It is beautiful. Yes?”
“It is beautiful. It was once called the flower of the empire.”
“Seria Siegfried, ah, you are no longer Siegfried. What should I call it? A lowly bitch?”
Seeing Sadrick’s belittling remarks, Ceria secretly bit her lip.
“Sadric.”
“Yes, Minister.”
“I don’t like people who talk about things I care about. I won’t forgive you if you do that one more time.”
The way he spoke was extremely cold.
For a second, I thought about tearing his mouth open.
Dare.
Who is to rate mine?

Facing me, Sadrick lowered his head.
“Oh, sorry. I had no intention of insulting the Minister. I just wanted you to know what it means for the emperor to give you a woman like this.”

I also wanted to know.
Why did she entrust this woman to me?
Does she know that this woman is a Half Ascendant?

“Now you have to make up your mind. How long are you going to stand there vaguely neutral?”
“Did you come to ask that?”
“Yes. I came for that.”
Sadrick had no intention of backing down.
“Now, join the imperial faction. It is said that the neutral nobles who have fallen into competition are planning to serve the minister and increase the power of the neutral faction. You don’t have to be a snake’s head. Aren’t you at least the one who will become the dragon’s neck?”
“Sadric.”
“Yes, Minister.”
“Didn’t I tell you that you were noisy the other day?”
“… Yes?”
Sadrick blinked.
“That mouth is too noisy. I think my listening ears will be inflamed.”
“Rejection, are you?”
“I have no intention of joining the imperial faction yet. The same goes for aristocrats.”
“Are you saying you’re going to eventually establish a neutral faction?”
“If you need.”

Bang!
“How can you say that! Why was the person who made the greatest contribution to placing the current emperor on the throne? Are you saying you don’t want to join the imperial faction!”
Sadrick slammed the desk and shouted.
Like a fire wizard, he was full-blooded.
“You know that too. What kind of person is the current emperor?”
I knew him better than anyone.
Even in the novel, he had the nickname of the bloody prince.
‘Am I the bloody emperor now?’
If I join his faction his, of course I will start a war.
The same goes for joining the aristocracy.
There was no way the nobles who were dissatisfied with the current emperor could sit still.
If that happens, the Empire will once again be in civil war.

It hadn’t even been months since the civil war had ended.
‘I’m still in trouble.’
Civil war was out of the question until the multitude of problems were resolved.
At least when I was Minister of Magic, I was thinking of stopping a civil war.

“Who do you think gave you the position of minister? It is His Majesty the Emperor! Think of the many policies being done now! Who is the one who cares for the people!”
Blood pooled on Sadrick’s neck, and his eyes his were red and bloodshot.
The eyes looking at me now were those of a fanatic.
I tried to send the excited Sadrick back quietly.
It was then.
“Even the woman who is being served by the minister in this mansion now!”
“Kyaaak!”
Sadrick pulled Seria’s shoulder.
Seria’s body was pushed against Sadrick’s, pushed by his rough grip of her.

“This woman, who has lost all of her status as a noble and is treated as subhuman, is also given by the Emperor! Look! No matter how much I tease her, she can’t even resist! Who made this woman this way? The emperor…”
Then, Sadrick touched Seria’s butt her.
Seria screamed.

Dare mine.
At will
To touch

I felt a disconnect in my head.
“I must have warned you?”

Awesome!
Before I could finish my words, I cut Sadrick’s wrists of his, who had just been gripping his hips of his.
A sharp blade made of mana cut it in an instant.

Sadrick noticed it a beat late.
“Quaaaaagh!”
I screamed.
“Didn’t I tell you that I only forgive once?”
“Cheuk, kkeok.”
Sadrick sighed, clutching his severed wrist.
I was shocked by the sudden pain.
Awesome! Wood deok!
I crushed Sadrick’s hand his, which had just been cut and was lying on the floor.
He shattered it so well that he couldn’t even regenerate it with a heel.

“Don’t you dare touch mine. Until I give permission, no one can touch my people or my things at will. Got it?”
“Do you think you will attack me like this and be safe?”
Sadrick looked up at me with bloodshot eyes.
“Your eyes are alive.”
I felt like I was living a good life.
It was only natural that the hands, the lifeblood of wizards, had disappeared.
The desire to pluck out that eye and decorate it in the dungeon welled up.
Right.
It was Maurice’s desire.
“Do you believe in the battle magic team that you are bringing with you? Or do you believe in the emperor you praise so much?”
“I dare say to His Majesty… ! Such words and actions are treason.”
“Who do you think the emperor would believe? Oh, correct me. Who do you think you value more?”
It’s not that Volfart doesn’t have a long-standing magic family, or a magic family that can replace fire magic.
But I
It was different.

The Emperor will believe me until he finds a replacement for me.
‘On the surface, it seems.’

“Wolfaert and the imperial faction will not stand still.”
“I look forward to it. What kind of attacks and threats you will use against me?”
“Don’t expect help from the nobles. As long as that woman is in your hands, the aristocrats will not be able to help you.”
“Now that I see it, the hand wasn’t the problem.”
I clapped my hands.
The raging mana forced his mouth open.
Sadrick hurriedly memorized a mana spell.
Although flames burned all around.

Awesome!
“Quaaaaagh!”
It didn’t stop me from cutting out his tongue.

Roaring!
A fire broke out and burned things in the drawing room.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
While Seria crouched down.
I extinguished all the burning fire by recombining the mana structures to create water.

“Huh!”
Sadrick closed his bleeding mouth and looked down at his severed tongue with his empty eyes.
A half-burnt tongue from the fire he caused.
It was because the body had become unable to use magic anymore.
What was needed for magic was the hand to make the formula, and the words to recite the formula were important.
He lost a hand and tongue.
Even if you could use magic again, you wouldn’t even dream of the previous state.

“And did you say that the aristocrats couldn’t accept me?”
I whispered to Sadrick, who was holding back tears.
“Do you really think so?”
I don’t know how my eyes looked at him.
But Sadrick, who met my eyes, was trembling.

“Go away. I never want to see your face again.”
He trembled and fled with his severed tongue.
‘I must have had an accident.’
Originally, I was going to say it softly and send it off.
But the moment Sadrick laid his hand on Seria.
I lost my temper and cut off his hand.
Because I completely crushed the severed hand of him.
The relationship with the hardline imperial faction must be considered completely destroyed.
“Tsk.”

I saw Sadrick running out of the mansion.
I didn’t say anything, but the emperor’s will must have been mixed to some extent.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come without an appointment.

Emperors, aristocrats.
And neutral.
How long has it been since the civil war ended?
Are the hardliners trying to pull out their swords again?
‘I’ll have to make a decision too.’

Previously, to see the ending of the novel, he stood on the side of the emperor.
But now, the story after all the stories in the novel are over.
It was a new story, a new life.
Should I stay by the Emperor’s side?

‘No.’
There is no need to do that.
Isn’t it a situation where nothing of the original work has remained since Seria didn’t die?
Besides, the emperor wants to spy on me.
You are the emperor who keeps me in check.
‘I can’t just follow him with ease.’

However, he could not openly pretend to be the emperor.
My relationship with the aristocrats is the worst.
It is also because of the existence of Seria.
There was also a way to return her to Siegfried.
To defeat the Emperor and restore her identity to her.
By the way.
‘I want to avoid that method.’
It would have been so if she hadn’t known that Seria inherited the blood of the Ascendant.
Until he figured out what Siegfried was plotting.
‘I can’t trust even the aristocrats.’

What’s left.
‘Are they neutral?’

Now I had to live in this world.
It has already been several months since I saw the completion of this novel.
The time has come to make a choice.

“Whoa.”
I looked at Seria.
A symbol of the emperor’s trust, and at the same time a good means for the emperor to put pressure on me.

Seria was both a reward and a fetter given to me by the emperor.

If I join hands with the Neutralists.
How to deal with ceria.

“I don’t know.”
I really don’t know.

***

Throbbing.

Returning to the room, Seria was busy trying to calm her beating heart.
Sadrick’s hand touched her buttocks and was blown off by Maurice in an instant.

From the moment Seria entered the drawing room, she felt the man’s desire her.
I was used to it.
In the past, when she was a princess, she also received it.
The gaze full of desire that I received from many men.
At that time, if it was a shady desire secretly expressed because it could not be overcome by the brilliance of Siegfried.
Now, without receiving that brilliance, it was a dirty desire that was blatantly revealed.
Not to mention the stars at her, she couldn’t say anything at all.
Seria was feeling it too.
He is not Siegfried.
That there is nothing left for her now.
He said It’s a being that you should be grateful for even having a name.
But I was holding on with the pride I had until now.
At least Maurice didn’t look at me with such a shady gaze.
‘Even though it harassed me.’
It was as if he was solving a task given to him.
‘But why…’
Did you cut the man’s arm?
Maurice’s expression at that time.
It was the same one Seria had built on the second day when he destroyed all his stuff of her.
No, it was worse than that.

Why do you make that face because you touched the bully?
If you make a face like you care for me.
‘That’s against the rules.’
It was she who was struggling to resist pleasure and Maurice.
She was resisting to protect her last sense of pride from the man who saw herself as less than human.
So I thought this time was one of those plays.
If he told Sadrick to hug him, he was going to do that.

But.
Things turned out differently than she thought.
Sadrick’s arm and tongue were cut off.
For touching me.
For saying insulting things to me.

It was embarrassing.

Why are you doing this?
Why are you suddenly saying that you love me?
You were the one who teased me until just now.
Why are you acting like you’re protecting me now?

Is it possessive? Or the desire to conquer?
Is that a common feeling that men feel?
Why are you angry because it’s yours?

It was definitely something I would hate.
Even in the worst situation in which the man who harasses her treats things.
When she said Maurice was hers.
I felt a deep sense of relief.
The fact that he had protected her instantly washed away any anxiety he had felt.

Why do you feel comfortable
She couldn’t figure out why.

‘Who sent you here?’

At that time, the words Maurice had said before echoed in her ears.

‘Did I send it?’
‘No, the emperor executed you by status.’
‘Your father gave up on you.’
‘I just received it.’

It wasn’t completely wrong.
She, too, was implicitly acknowledging it.
That you are not locked up here and harassed because of that man.
‘Do I have to admit it?’

I don’t know about complex politics.
Even when she was a princess, she was far from politics.
That’s why he was sure that Duke Siegfried would come to save him.
It was still the same as not knowing politics.
But only one.
The only thing she can rely on now is the owner of this mansion.
That there is only Maurice.

Seria remembered Maurice, who used magic to protect herself.
During that time, I felt my lower abdomen getting hot.
‘I said it was mine.’

Maurice’s thick arm that was visible when casting magic.
Even though she was a magician, her hard chest her was trained through constant exercise.
His body her when completely naked.

She fantasized unconsciously.
Maurice hugged himself.
That she hugs him too.
As violent as that day.
I wish I could hug you and treat you like I’m about to break you.

Before she knew it, she was pulling back her skirt with her fingers, touching her cunt through her panties her.
Seria, who was soaked with pleasure, suddenly came to her senses her.

“What, what are you doing?”
To an act you did without knowing it.
She was perplexed
‘Wake!’
Seria shook her head.
‘This is not my sincerity.’
It is just an optical illusion effect that I saw because my situation was difficult.

But she didn’t know.
The fact that the vulva engraved under the navel is shining strongly.
The more the vulva shines, the more it shines.
That her cunt was getting wetter.

Deep in Seria’s consciousness, she heard a demonic voice tempting her.

‘You’re imagining it anyway. It’s not really happening.’
‘Do it. Do it.’
‘That man wants you.’
‘I’m enjoying watching you resist to protect your pride.’

Seria’s hand is getting closer without her noticing.
She Headed down.
