Chapter 111 – Imperial Party

Episode 111 – Imperial Party

Tweet! Jack!

A small bird sits on a thin finger, chirping cutely.

The girl tilted her head and looked at its owner.

The image of a beautiful woman is reflected in the bird’s bean-like black eyes.

Silver hair that looks like the moonlight has been pulled out and woven together, and blue eyes that look like condensed ice crystals.

Although not large, she has bulging breasts that show off the charm of a mature woman, and a graceful curve that extends from a narrow waist to a wide hips.

The main character with a beauty reminiscent of an ice fairy was Scadia, who was threatened with rape last night.

“Ha… “Why did I do that?”

She sighed as she remembered the night before.

In her mind her, the memory of her clinging to Luan kept replaying.

No matter how drugged she was, I never thought she would show such a side to Luan. She is so ashamed that it is difficult for her to even raise her head.

I don’t know how to face him in the future.

She was so upset that she even thought about just dropping out.

For reference, she decided to take a few days off.

Since it was such a shocking incident, should I take some time to calm down and get my mind together?

She barely managed to stop her father from coming running after hearing the news. If I hadn’t done that, persistent gaze would have followed for a while.

When she was lost in her thoughts for a moment.

Knock.

-Miss. Can I come in?

Maid Lenny came knocking.

Looking at the time, it looks like they brought a meal.

“Come in.”

When Scadia gave permission, sending the bird flying with a wave of her hand, the door opened and Lenny came in.

He came carrying porridge on a tray.

“Have you been getting some air? Lunch is abalone porridge. “It’s going to be delicious because there’s a lot of abalone in it.”

“I said there’s no need for that. “My body is fine.”

“Still. “You never know.”

She insisted that she was safe, but Lenny paid no attention and set the porridge.

Skadia asked as she sat down in her chair.

“So, what happened to the culprit? “I didn’t hear the back story.”

“Oh, you mean Rubio Hermes? “If it was him, he said he was taken to the cult along with the accomplice who provided the drugs.”

“To the church?”

She tilted her head.

It is true that what they committed was a violent crime, but it was not something the church should take action.

Lenny provided supplementary explanation.

“Yes. What did they say about that medicine? I heard it was made by the Dark Church? Anyway, so the saint decided to come visit us a little later. “I need to get tested just in case.”

“… That’s right.”

“Oh, and the situation was so urgent that I forgot, but Prince Ruan told me to be careful next time. Don’t mindlessly eat what others give you. Even though the engagement was broken, I think he’s worried about the young lady.”

Leni smiles shyly and twists her body as if she were a party to it. She never imagined in her wildest dreams that Scadia would be upset.

‘It’s disgusting.’

It’s really terrible to show that kind of scene to your younger self and then pretend to be nice now.

This is all because of weakness.

If it hadn’t been for those drugs, I wouldn’t have gotten help from Luan, and I wouldn’t have gotten sick of myself, drunk with desire.

And, above all, I wouldn’t have had to feel complicated emotions thinking about Luan.

It is still vivid in my memory.

The warmth that was conveyed through his warm embrace and the hand on my back his his his. Without realizing it, she felt reassured by the warm and gentle warmth, which was different from the heat of the medicine.

I forgot all my worries and fell asleep comfortably in his arms.

Even though I screamed that I hated and resented Luan, deep down in my heart, I still had affection for him.

With the breakup of the engagement, the ice that had taken hold of her heart melts, and the fragility of her childhood leaks out.

‘Stupid bitch. Will I come to my senses if I’m betrayed again?’

Scadia corrected herself.

She held up her spoon, trying hard to resist the urge to upset her dinner table.

“Lenny. Thank you I’ll eat well.”

“Yes! But I have some abalone porridge left. Would you like me to send it to Prince Ruan? Just wanted to say thank you─”

Wow!

Scadia overturned her dinner table.

The glass plate shatters and scattered grains of rice stain the floor.

Lennie was astonished.

“Aaaaah! Miss. Are you okay?”

She quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped Scadia’s body.

Scadia said casually.

“Oops, I made a mistake. Lennie. She said she had porridge left, right? Bring that.”

“Ah yes! First, take a shower. “I’ll take this away and bring it back.”

“Huh. Please.”

Scadia passed Lenny cleaning her floor and headed to her shower.

‘Where do you dare take it?’

If you’re going to give food to Luan, it’s much better for her to just throw it away.

At the same time, the saint who received a call from the church headed to the center of the sacred place.

An old man sits at the head table.

With graying hair and a benevolent smile on his face, he was none other than Verzio, the Pope who followed the will of Repentia and led the Church of Light.

“Welcome. Welcome.”

“Yes. Holy Pope! Long time no see! How have you been?”

“Haha! Of course I was doing well. Iris, how were you?”

“I’m doing well too! But what did you call me for?”

They greeted each other warmly, as if they were grandparents who shared the same blood, and then got straight to the point.

The Pope’s face became serious.

“Do you remember what happened at the party a while ago?”

“Yes! Are you talking about the attempted rape of a young girl in Maryland?”

“Okay. You may have already heard that the drugs used by the criminals were related to the Dark Church. However, I received information that the drug was distributed through the academy.”

“The Dark Church has been hiding in the academy?”

It is a truly serious matter that the hands of the Dark Church have reached even inside the academy.

Although it had been less than three months since the intrusion into the heart had occurred, it would not have been surprising if Levios’ heart had been stolen at any time since the illusionary maze barrier had not yet been improved.

“That’s right. So, we need to investigate the academy, and you are the right person. It may be dangerous, but please. Can you take charge of the work?

The Pope gave a guilty look.

No matter how necessary it was to hunt down the dark order, it was inconvenient to put a young saint into such danger.

He added words to prevent even the worst-case scenario.

“Of course, I won’t send you alone. I’ll give you Sir John, so we can investigate together. Do you understand?”

John is one of the seven paladins who serve the Pope by his side.

That power is equivalent to level 300.

If he stays by her saint’s side, there is zero chance of a disaster occurring. The problem is that it may be discovered in advance by the Dark Church.

The saint shook her head resolutely.

“No! You don’t have to! If Lord John moves, he will buy the Dark Church’s attention. “I can do it by myself!”

“But will you be okay? There are paladins in the academy branch, but it is difficult to respond immediately when something happens. Above all, I have to do the research alone.”

“Are you okay! Even the Pope knows. “I’m strong, right?”

Perhaps to reassure the Pope, she was a saint who confidently bent her arms and made her biceps, but her appearance only aggravated his anxiety.

Berchio, who had been thinking hard, made a suggestion.

“Or how about asking a trustworthy person within the academy for help?”

“Yes? “Are you a trustworthy person?”

“Okay. If it’s someone you trust, they’re probably far from the Dark Church. “Is there such a person?”

“Hmm… I can think of one person! All right. “I’ll ask for help.”

A man appeared in the saint’s mind.

He has black hair and silver eyes, and is an elusive person who is sometimes kind and sometimes fierce.

The Pope asked, using his transcendent intuition her to read her opponent’s her expression her on her face her.

“Haha! That’s right. But isn’t that person a man?”

“Yes?”

“Aren’t you feeling tired too? Since marriage is not specifically prohibited in the Church of Light, it is time to start taking in companions.”

His eyes widened happily.

Seeing that everyone seemed to misunderstand, the saint hurriedly waved her hand.

“Oh, no! “That person already has a lover.”

“Hmm… Okay? It’s a shame. Then, do you want to receive this? This is a group suspected of being a hidden member of the Dark Church. If we investigate this place, we might be able to catch the tail.”

“Yes! Then, let’s go!”

The saint quickly snatched up the documents handed to her by the Pope and left her shrine without any hesitation.

The Pope looked at her back and muttered.

“I might be able to see my great-grandchildren soon.”

Reacting violently didn’t seem to mean that the other person didn’t have feelings for me.

… It was fall.

In the late afternoon, Regina came to her student council room after finishing her class and saw Isis, who had arrived earlier and was organizing her papers.

“Joy! Hmm- Ah! Regina. “Are you here?”

What is so exciting? Isis, who was humming her song, smiles brightly.

It was my first time seeing it.

“… “You look like you’re feeling a lot better?”

“Is it so? Actually, I received a gift from Luan yesterday.”

When I brought up the topic, Isis quickly showed off her necklace as if she had been waiting for this moment.

The cross necklace sparkles with brilliant silver.

“This is it. How is it? “It’s pretty, right?”

“… That’s right.”

“They even said it was an artifact. They say it has purifying powers. Luan gave it to me because she was worried about me. Hehe!”

Isis must have already seen it to her heart’s content last night, but she was happy to see it again, as her eyes her never left her necklace her.

Looking at Isis’ face like that, Regina had to put even more effort into managing her facial expressions.

‘As expected, Isis…’

She must like Lu Ann as her opposite sex.

This is an idea I had yesterday when I reported the scene where Luan was giving Isis her necklace. And today, seeing Isis’ actions of her, that thought became even stronger.

Of course, this may be a misunderstanding.

I myself am hoping that it is a misunderstanding.

However, Isis and Luan’s attitude towards each other clearly exceeded the standards of siblings.

‘It doesn’t make sense.’

A brother and sister attend a party together as partners, dance lovingly, and even give a necklace as a gift and wear it themselves?

He had never even imagined doing something like that with his brother.

Even if I had to imagine it, it felt very awkward and even disgusting.

“The two of you have really gotten along a lot better.”

“Is that what Regina sees? Hehe! As expected, it was good to talk to each other. Thanks to this, I think the misunderstanding has been resolved and everything is back to its proper place.”

Isis’s face showed both happiness and bitterness.

She is happy that they can get along like before, but it also feels like something different from back then has happened?

Feeling a dangerous intuition, Regina asked what had been on her mind.

“… “You mean during vacation?”

“Yes?”

“You went to your parents’ house together during vacation. What happened then? So the misunderstanding was resolved and our relationship became better. Right?”

“Well, that’s…”

“Tell me. What happened?”

Regina smiled on the outside but secretly put pressure on Isis.

Isis eventually gave in to his persistent gaze at her.

“Well, there was just an accident.”

“Accident? What accident?”

“… There was a hunting competition. At that time, she headed to the snowy mountain with Lu An, but unfortunately a snow storm blew in, so she hid in a hiding place. At that time… While talking, we resolved each other’s misunderstandings.”

“Is that all?”

“… Yes.”

It’s a lie.

Regina came to a conclusion at once.

Otherwise, that face cannot be explained.

Red-hot skin, eyes shaking as if there was an earthquake, tightly closed lips, and even a gentle smile on the lips of hers.

It was clearly the face of a girl in love.

There is even a hint of excitement.

‘What were you two doing in the hiding place?’

Anxiety increases.

In her mind, a scene from a romantic disaster movie was unfolding.

There are scenes where men and women, unable to even use her magical powers due to all of her unreasonable devices, rub against her naked body under the pretext of maintaining her body temperature!

My teeth are grinding.

Regina continued to look at her, her Isis, desperately trying to calm her anger.

“Is that really all there is? The explanation is too poor? What exactly were you doing inside?”

“W-what are you doing? I didn’t do anything. No, that… We just talked. Anyway, now that His Highness the Crown Prince is coming, let’s get to work!”

Isis was visibly agitated and returned to her seat with an awkward movement.

Regina looked at Isis’s back and her expression she became cold.

‘What did you do?’

That’s something I can’t tell anyone else.

If it gets to this point, it would be good to be half-confident even if there is no physical evidence.

Something, a solution was needed.
