Chapter 165 – Episode 98 – We Have No Regrets
*All characters appearing are adults.
*This is a fictional story that is nothing but fiction. Never follow
Even Princess Bellion was not aware of King Doublet’s evil deeds from the beginning.
She learned of her evil deeds when she heard bad rumors about her father.
The king is a prostitute.
He is a gentleman on the outside, but a tyrant on the inside. He is numberless of those who died at his hand.
If he wasn’t a demon, he would have been called the worst lord.
He’s well-rounded, so even when he does crazy things, no one notices that he’s crazy.
At first, Princess Belion dismissed these rumors as lies.
She believed it to be a ploy by wicked men to impersonate a tyrant out of jealousy of her father.
So when she first heard the rumors, she immediately sought out those who spread these malicious rumors and punished them severely.
However, Princess Bellion saw it.
‘What did I just see?’
The image of her own handmaiden being raped by King Doublet.
When she heard that the lady-in-waiting she was supposed to come was caught by the king and taken to her bedroom, Princess Bellion immediately went to her father and saw the scene.
That her father, who said she would love no one except her queen, did that.
Princess Bellion was so shocked that she forgot the idea of getting her maid back and she ran away.
‘Lord, are you dead? Uh, when?’
And soon after, news came that the lady-in-waiting had been murdered.
Her body was found in the woods.
Strangely, it is said that there were traces of the stomach being hacked to the extent that the intestines were completely exposed.
Although it was a serious case in which a lady-in-waiting who worked for the royal family was murdered, the investigation was quickly concluded with the conclusion that she was murdered by an assailant.
‘Strange. Something is strange.’
Aren’t you doing too much research?
It’s an incident that might be related to the safety of the royal family.
Thinking something was wrong with her, Bellion went to investigate on her own.
And,
She was confronted with a terrible reality.
‘Ah, my father did this, this, and this?’
Searching through her father’s library, Bellion found a list of women killed by her father.
Name, age, appearance, facial features, etc. Were written in great detail.
When they were killed and when they were properly dealt with were all documented.
The women on the list have two things in common.
One is that he was raped by the king.
And another is that she was murdered for having the king’s child.
King Doublet killed countless innocent women for the sole reason that he could undermine his power.
‘Father, why are you doing this…’
Eliminating static is understandable.
It is also understandable to falsely frame loyalists and drive them away.
It is also understandable to keep in check the royal families of countries that have become vassals.
If he had sat on the throne himself, he would have committed a cruel act to solidify his rule.
But this is not it.
This has gone beyond the level of being wrapped up as a cause for the sake of the country.
This is murder
It is a serial murder committed for personal desire.
The murder was committed by his father, who was called Seonggun.
Bellion was in great shock.
The shock the princess received was so great that she could not see her father’s face properly for several days.
‘Ah, Bellion. You’ve figured it out too.’
What’s even more shocking is that her mother Libel knew all about this.
Even though she knew it, Libel just pretended not to know her husband’s arbitrariness.
‘I’m not comfortable either. If this fact spreads, people everywhere will stand up.’
The king is a serial killer.
The serial killer rules the country.
What if this fact spreads throughout the human world?
Nine times out of ten, the flames of rebellion will flare up everywhere.
Many nobles who are already dissatisfied with the king’s coercive policies will incite the people to cause a massive rebellion.
With the cause of getting rid of serial killers and correcting the country.
‘Then it will be like doing only good things to the demon king. They will try to take over the human world in chaos.’
But her queen Libel decided to shut her up.
She gave strict orders to keep quiet to everyone who knew the secret.
Because the situation is too bad to condemn.
‘Bellion, you know that. That the demons are intent on devouring our world.’
Due to the invasion of the demon king Leviathan, the human world was almost destroyed.
The expeditionary force led by the brave Emilia barely managed to survive the human world, but the crisis itself did not disappear.
The demons who lost the demon king are still frantic to take over this land.
It’s a situation you can never let go of.
What would happen if a large-scale rebellion broke out in this situation?
Tragedy will happen again.
A world where the territory is burned and the people are trampled by demons.
A world will come where nothing but despair exists.
So I have no choice but to let it go
Even if King Doublet did crazy things, he had no choice but to close his eyes.
Eliminating the king, who has become the pivot of the human world, is the same as opening the door to tragedy.
‘So, Bellion. I hope you understand too. Please, don’t say anything.’
‘Don’t be funny. How can I close my eyes to this!’
Naturally, Bellion protested.
To ask you to close your eyes even though you saw the ugly truth.
Is that what royalty should do?
At the time, Bellion ignored his mother’s words and tried to expose his truth.
But he couldn’t.
‘The demon’s movements are suspicious. They have deployed troops on our borders.’
‘The territory on the outskirts was attacked by demons. The lord died, and the people were taken captive.’
‘Demon King Eris is gathering troops. These are signs of aggression. I need to talk to the goddess right away…’
The demons are attacking again.
Despite the loss of Leviathan, their will to invade did not break.
Because of that will, the human world is in danger of being destroyed again.
‘I think I know a little bit why her mother said that.’
Things are not so good.
The time was not too good to expose the truth and right wrongs.
Everyone is worried about the re-invasion of the demons.
I am also afraid of being trampled on by them.
Everyone is trembling with anxiety, do you need to drop the bomb yourself?
In the end, Bellion decided to remain silent after hesitating.
Decided to become a sinner just like his mother.
And,
“Ha, ha, Mr. Theia…”
Princess Bellion had to pay the price for her silence today.
●●●
“I was a member of the Knights Templar.”
Theia was the first to speak.
With silver hair down to her waist and black eyes, this succubus slowly revealed her own past.
“I was entrusted with the mission to go to the capital and protect the palace.”
“…”
“I was so proud to live as a knight. We considered it an honor to protect His Majesty the King, our support.”
“…”
“But I realized that the glory was a lie only after being raped by Your Highness.”
“…”
Bellion was quietly listening.
Because Camilla had cast a spell to curb her excitement, she was able to listen to Theia in her sanity.
As he listened to her story, Bellion’s face turned blue.
“I have Your Highness’s child. I was afraid of being assassinated, but thanks to Karis-sama, I was able to escape to the church.”
“Te, Theia…”
Karis, looking at Theia, was confused with her mind.
‘I sent to the church to save you…’
Karis worked with Princess Belion to help the women raped by the King as much as possible.
Although she chooses to remain silent, at least she can’t turn away a helping hand.
The two tried to protect the victims as much as possible.
Most of them were killed by assassins sent by the king, but only Theia was able to be saved.
Karis was greatly relieved at the news that Theia had safely arrived at the church.
I did, but that Theia became a monster.
How did she end up like this?
Theia was resentful of the sky.
“I gave birth to my daughter safely. The person next to me now is my daughter Luna.”
Luna, a succubus with bobbed silver hair and red eyes, quietly bowed her head in greeting.
“Wait, if it was Luna…”
“The princess is right. Luna was a saint who succeeded the queen.”
Bellion couldn’t keep her mouth shut at Theia’s answer.
Seeing the princess like that, Theia calmly continued her words.
“Of course, it is of no use to anyone now. Because Luna and I both became succubuses.”
“…”
“But I have no regrets. I am rather happy.”
Theia hugged her Luna tightly.
“In this way, she calls Luna her daughter and she is able to live.”
Even though she gave birth to a daughter, she never once called her daughter by name.
She has never been able to reveal that she is a mother.
She knew that the moment she spoke, she would both die, so even though she wanted to speak, she had to hold back.
But not anymore.
She doesn’t have to put up with it any longer.
You no longer have to suffer from the King’s threats.
Because there is a queen and her sisters who protect them.
So she doesn’t regret living as a succubus.
Theia and Luna’s life was so happy right now.
“Hey, Princess Bellion, no, since her father is the same, can I call her older sister?”
Luna asked Bellion a question.
“Does her sister know what the king has done?”
“Ah, I knew.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me? Why did I just watch a victim like her mother come out?”
“That, that…”
“Don’t turn around, look straight ahead and talk. Were you pretending not to know your father’s sins?”
“…”
There is silence for a moment.
After moving her lips a few times, Bellion opened her mouth.
“Yes, I was pretending not to know.”
“Why? Wouldn’t you have stayed still?”
“Because it had to be. If demons invade and a civil war breaks out, the country will be ruined. So I had no choice but to pretend not to know.”
“In other words, you decided to ignore the minority for the sake of the national interest.”
“…”
Bellion couldn’t bear to raise his head.
He was so keen on the gazes he was looking at now.
It’s ready to bite right now.
He knew this was going to happen, but when it happened right in front of him, Bellion’s body trembled with fear.
Luna’s words towards Bellion were unexpected.
“I fully understand your position, sister. The country might be ruined, but you can’t ruin it all because of trivial things.”
“…”
“But do you know that the country was ruined because we didn’t pay attention to that trivial thing?”
“…”
“You should have been more assertive. He should have killed his father and ascended the throne himself. Even if there was confusion, it had to be. If it did, the kingdom might be different from what it is today. It might have prevented it from getting worse.”
“…”
“All I want to say is this.”
Luna declared her guilty with a judgmental face.
“Surrender before it is too late. Otherwise you and your father, the queen and the prince will all be unhappy.”
“…”
“I mean, that’s all.”
With this, Luna’s remarks ended.
“That was a great point, Luna. You said everything I wanted to shoot at you.”
Lilia clapped her hands in praise.
“Whoa, whoa, I thought you were nice, but you’re a complete hypocrite.”
Camilla laughed at Bellion,
“That sister and that sister. All royalty are like that.”
“… Ha.”
Rascal showed an attitude of yes.
Carly, who was sitting next to her, sighed.
“Princess…”
The only person who was worried about Bellion was Karis.
“Okay then, who will do it next?”
“We will.”
Rascal, a woman with both her hair and eyes light green, raised her hand.
She glared at Bellion with an expression of eagerness.
“We want to tell this woman the pain she suffered.”
“Yes, please. However, violence should not be used.”
“I know.”
After taking one deep breath, Rascal opened his mouth.
“We are the people of Perno who lost everything because of the king.”
Rascal began to reveal his past to everyone.
