Chapter 165 – Declaration of Emergency, Then

At that time, Princess Aira was imprisoned in the dungeon of the royal castle.
Even though she wore rags and thin clothes, she did not lose her plentiful breasts and beauty,
Her arms, which had suffered so much from the humiliation she had suffered in the past few days, were embarrassingly thin.

“…Princess.”

At that time, the jailer puts food through the iron bars.

“Don’t do this. If you get caught, you won’t be safe either.”
“……I can’t stand watching the princess starve.”
“Do you trust me?”

Ira murmured in a sad voice.

“A princess through affection with a monster.”
“There is only one thing I believe in. The princess is working hard for us.”

The pieces of bread the jailer brought with difficulty,
Ira puts it on her pretty lips, mumbles it, and melts it little by little.
The bread was hard enough to have to do that, but this is also a precious food.

Duke Collint, who took control of the royal castle, deliberately refused to give her a proper meal to make her Ira suffer.
In a situation where it would not be strange even if you were weakened,
Little by little, she is maintaining her spirits with the help of several people.

Soon, crumpled paper comes out of the bread.

[Looking for a way]

It was the handwriting of Archon Delia.

“Delia…”

Through a small window barely looking out,
You can still see the towering black pillars.

The kingdom may be over.

No method.
The princess thought carefully about why things had turned out this way.
It was so sudden that day that my heart was still beating fast.

… Initially.
Because of Hannah’s surprise preemptive attack, a war against Chokkai will be triggered regardless of the kingdom’s will.
She made an emergency declaration.

Up to this point, Ira did not think that she had erred in her judgment.
By the way.

To fight against 〈 catalyst 〉,
She sent a letter to prove her allegiance to the kingdom, and she stood up with all these,
They joined forces under Duke Collint and became a huge rebel force.

The rebels quickly surrounded Furnaul,
The princess realized that things had gone wrong only when her royal guards, including Sir Collint, came to her castle.

“What a fuss! Sir Collint, are you insane?!”
“Shut up. Dirty bitch having sex with a monster. Who’s going to recognize you as a princess?”

At that moment, Ira felt that her eyes were dizzy.

‘… Information leaked.’

[Promised Chu-Chu] Was a fatal scandal.
She gave the order to mute, but she was so concerned about the tug that she didn’t pay attention.
Her spies must have already been making noise by sprinkling seasonings on each of the feudal lords. Since that happened in the kingdom of knights…….

It wouldn’t be strange if the hearts of the feudal lords left.
In particular, Collint had been dissatisfied with the royal family from the beginning. He called him an emergency declaration,
He gave a golden opportunity to raise an army, so Fur Naul had no choice but to fall in vain.

Due to the great failure of Operation Hundred Flowers, the Knights of the Kingdom became infamous,
Due to Tia’s attack, most of the able royal guards were also lost.

Ira was almost naked.
The gap,
Duke Collint did not miss.

“To entrust a woman with important affairs of the country, this shouldn’t have happened in the first place.”

He stroked his beard and grinned.
He has almost bloodlessly entered this far, so he deserves to be happy.

“The will of heaven is with us. Bring out the princess!”
“Ancient!”
“S-Stop it! What are you doing!”

The princess suffered an absurd humiliation.
It was not enough for her to kneel before the monster,
Now he is dragged out by the Duke’s privates and forced to the ground.

“Princess!!”

The soldiers forced Delia to kneel as well, and pointed spears at her throat.

“What are you doing! I am the princess of a country!”
“A princess who plays with monsters is not the king we have established!”
“Playing around, like that…”
“Then you’re talking nonsense? I’ve heard all about you flirting with the monster and playing around with it.”

Ira was speechless.
Collint’s cause was indeed plausible, and a few words cannot reverse this situation.
It is true that he was treated as a lowly Chu-Chu, and it is also true that he provided convenience for the monster.

And at that time, let’s make an excuse that she had no choice but to do it.
It only tarnishes the honor of the royal family even more.

Ira was silent.

“……Put them in jail. The execution date will be set later.”
“Stop it!”

Delia cried.

“The reason I made a pact with Chokkai was because the situation was so urgent. Sir Colint!”
“Then why did you try to hide it? If you were confident, you shouldn’t have had anything to hide.
“That….”
“What actually happened? An evil omen that seemed to reach the sky bloomed, and Saint Esilla’s prophecy came true!”

The princess and Delia had just received a report about 〈 Black Pillar 〉.
Under the circumstances, Chokkai, excited by Hannah’s attack,
It seems they are preparing an attack to make the kingdom pay a decent price…….

There was an odd corner somewhere.
It wasn’t organized enough to bring it up here, but the two women were clearly feeling it.

“Are you the Demon King’s pawn?”

When Collint drew his sword and aimed it at Delia’s neck,
Cried the princess.

“Stop! Stop. We… We… We just did as we were told, at the risk of our lives.”
“Weak girls. In the first place, they weren’t meant to be entrusted with men’s work.”
“…”
“But rest assured, I’m here to set things right on your behalf.”

Collint trampled on Princess Aira’s head with a leather shoe.

“Ugh!”
“Should I say thank you? Aira.”
“…”
“You mean you can bend to monsters, but you can’t do that to me?”
“…Since Sir Collint has arrived, the kingdom will surely be saved.”

The princess’s words were full of thorns.
Collint, however, smiles happily.

“If you’re just doing what you’re told to risk your life, tell me where tainted women like you are now.”
“That….”
“Because we have to catch and kill them all. Tell me.”
“……I do not know.”

Until a while ago.
Delia and Aira gathered their servants and were talking about the actions of the Chokkai.
If the black pillar is proof of the complete separation between Chok-gae and the kingdom, there is one part that cannot be understood.

They are savage women.
Not like Chok-goe, who values ​​the seedlings as much as his life,
Their movements were exposed as they were.

Liana and Chokkai’s wives, who hid themselves at the headquarters of the Church of the Stars,
I sent a short document [Requesting secrecy to the kingdom]. It was Liana’s quick response.

At the end of the document it was also written:

[The agreement is valid]

Was it an unexpected situation even for Chokkai?
There is no way to check here.

“You don’t know? I heard that you even ensured the safety of those women?”
“Sir Collint. I did not cause this mess. We are still assessing the situation, and no one knows where they have gone.”

Ira was determined to keep the pact.
Not because she is holding her life with 〈 Incarnation Fruit 〉. Aira yielded to Chokkai’s threat to harm the kingdom’s subjects and accepted the pact.
He felt the fact that Chok-goe still had the power to do so.

Chokke is still more frightening than Collint.
Just imagining what will happen when the pact is broken makes me shudder.

However, if 100% of the choke could be completely removed, and the safety of the subjects would be guaranteed.
If the price was her own death, Ira was willing to die with a happy heart.

Unless that’s the case.
He cannot surrender power to a rash usurper.
The feudal lords who swore allegiance to the royal family, no matter how fatal a scandal was to the royal family…….
It was at this time that he wanted to raise an army and turn against the enemy like flipping his palm.

Even if she was a good-hearted princess, it was so angry that her blood would ooze backwards.

She feels sorry for not being able to punish Collint, who must have had this kind of heart a long time ago.

I’d rather trust Liana.
Even though she has turned to the Chokkai side, her senses of Liana are believable.

“Can you handle the monster that even the Knights of the Kingdom couldn’t do anything about, Lord Collint?”
“He’s the demon king from the prophecy. He’s not a monster.”
“…”
“So the princess’s deviation may be forgiven in some cases.”

Collint grabbed Ira by the neck and lifted her up.

“Ugh… Geup…!”
“I’m going to call the hero and the saintess, so decide how to greet me in the meantime. It won’t be a waste if that pretty face disappears in the dew of the executioner.”

It meant that he would save his life if he fawned.
In her heart, Ira wanted to spit on her, but she couldn’t because the power to choke her was strong.
In this case, the female is infinitely helpless.

However, Aira’s heart was not broken.

“If you kill Delia… Even that will disappear…”
“Huh? If I don’t kill you? Does that mean you’ll consider it?”
“This body… Has already been marked by the demon lord Chokgae. Just know that if you touch me, what kind of evil curse will fall upon you.”

Boarding the trigger coin.
That was Princess Aira’s decision.

“Then, on the day I killed the Demon King, all problems will disappearhaha!”

The guards also laughed along.
It is natural for a man to want to marry Princess Aira as his wife.
I don’t have much time now.

I bought some time by talking about curses for a while,
The life in confinement, which was tantamount to threats, was telling. Collint’s patience is running out.

‘…… Did I do well? Maybe Lord Collint is the righteous one, and I’ll be remembered as a foolish princess who followed the monster.’

Ira looked with her sad face at the black pillar outside her grate.
If the promise made that day is really valid.

Choke will change the situation.
Now I had no choice but to hope for that possibility.
Even if it’s a vulgar and perverted monster. Chokkai defeated the Kingdom Knights with a head-on breakthrough.

We cannot surrender our country to a cowardly usurper.
That’s why I can’t offer it to a monster.

‘Cook-Cook.’

Ira suddenly found herself laughing at her situation.
She doesn’t even know what she wants.
But if you ask where her heart is going.

‘Turning….’

His consistent charisma,
Aira’s heart was moving.
