Chapter 153 – 13. Kingdom of Ventorino – Germination (16)

“That’s right. I’m the culprit behind everything.”

“…What?”

Jurina was nervous and watched the mouth of the boy standing in front of her. She stiffened her body at Valdez’s words. It was an incomprehensible answer.

‘I admit it so meekly…?’

Brown eyes shake.

It was definitely the answer I wanted, but I was strangely annoyed. A shameless attitude despite being a criminal who clearly committed wrongdoing. It bothered me, and anger welled up again. She was pissed off at acting so calmly while killing the Hike, whom she loved, who was much more precious than that hateful half-memon race.

‘Huh, let’s calm down, Jurina.’

Looking at the demonic maiden frowning with her cold eyes, Valdez couldn’t help but laugh.

I was curious.

What would she look like when she found out that she knew all that she had been doing around her, spying on her, doing her research her? How will she react when he finds out the full extent of her mischief that has her from now on and will commit her mischief of her.

But they needed to be put off a little longer.

Otherwise, it would not be worthwhile to leave her as she is and ripen her hatred her.

“I’ll tell you one more time. I did everything that led the demons to attack and ordered the Dark Elves to kill Hike.”

“… Your goal is Princess Clara.”

The midnight tryst between the two of them came to mind in Jurina’s mind.

“No, wrong. It’s just secondary income.”

“What…? The princess is secondary…?”

Valdez walked in front of her grinning her and arching the corners of her mouth her.

Tumble.

Every time she took a step closer, Jurina’s body her moved slightly. The desire to run away from that villain whose true identity was uncertain came to mind. The devil’s intuition was screaming that he shouldn’t get close to that person, that he couldn’t even get involved.

But suppressed

She couldn’t back down The boy in front of her eyes was an enemy she could not miss.

Of course, it wasn’t careless. Even though he looks like a boy, he does n’t even know his opponent’s clear identity his. But he is a man who is the enemy of the one he loves, and maybe even the enemy of the kingdom. That alone was enough for a reason.

She didn’t know

Because she didn’t run away now, no, that her future had already been decided. Jurina couldn’t even regret what happened at a later time. Because what was left of her future was not her death or despair her.

“Are you curious about my true identity?”

“…”

“You must be very curious. Why am I obediently telling you this?”

Jurina trembled at the presence of her right in front of her, but reached her right hand around her waist her and grabbed her sword. She intended to cut Valdés down immediately if he behaved strangely.

“Simple.”

—Hook.

“…Uh?”

“I have no intention of saving you.”

“Cool, Luck…?”

Jurina coughed up her blood with her bemused face her. She looked down at the bloodstains she had spat out as she lowered her head with her face in disbelief. But no matter how many times she looked, it was her own blood her from her own mouth her.

I didn’t understand.

No matter how close she was, she was a beast race, one of the few races that I could count on my hand, and she was a different knight on the level of an expert. And yet, either intuition didn’t even work. She found out too late that she had been stabbed in the stomach. She was not even a weapon, moreover, her finger her had been pierced in the stomach her.

A situation where you can’t even laugh. Still, a smile came out of her mouth.

“…Under!”

Tears flowed.

Stomach pain. It hurt so much. It hurt more than when I first had my period.

She thought it was worth it. Because there is a hole in the stomach of her. A hole the size of an index finger. Jurina had never been through a war. And it was the first time she had ever suffered such a wound. Still, she could sense it.

This is a wound that could lead to death.

“Shut up, ugh…”

Still, she summoned up all the strength she had been suckling in and pulled out the sword she was holding onto and swung it.

It’s such a close distance. She could cut him in half with a single stroke, if she had just crossed her sword properly. Even if her intuition her didn’t work, if it was a blow that would risk her life her. You can reach the opponent in front of you. She believed it

“This can’t happen.”

However, even such a desperate blow was fleeting.

“…?!”

As she strained her body, blood poured out of the hole in her stomach. But that was all. Jurina couldn’t draw her sword. Just by bringing the tip of Valdez’s bloody index finger to the end of the handle, she was immobile.

“What, say… Don’t… “

‘… It’s a monster….’

Jurina’s body her collapsed.

“Let’s say hello again on the way to the underworld. Nice to meet you, Jurina. My name is Valdes. I am the next demon king, or demon prince.”

“…?”

‘What… ?’

An absurd remark that came out of Valdez’s mouth. She wanted to ask what that meant, but her lips her would n’t move.

The wound on Jurina’s stomach was exactly two and a half inches deep with Valdes’ index finger. It couldn’t be said to be extremely deep, but he had pierced it so dangerously that it was bleeding profusely. Thanks to that, even though her wounds hadn’t been long since, she was quite bleeding a bit.

‘Shit… Here like this… To die… ?’

“Then see you later.”

“Uh… Dil… Go… Ah…”

Facing the departing foe in her salutation her, Jurina moved her lips with all her might.

But that was it.

Valdes disappeared from her field of vision, either because he had n’t heard her, or if he had heard her but ignored her.

‘Ha… Ha….’

Left alone in her dark alleyway, Jurina sighed heavily.

Her head her was already dizzy and her eyes her were blurry.

‘Ah….’

As her death approached her, the only person she remembered was the one person she still loved, Jean Haiq, the Guardsman.

‘Hike, senior… I will soon… I’ll go….’

Did he come to meet me from the underworld?

With blurred vision and deafened ears, it seemed as if two human figures could be seen. That was the last thing she thought of before she passed out.

“……Ugh!”

‘I’m sure…?’

Jurina looked around.

I thought she must have died, but she was miraculously alive.

She wasn’t a dream. Even now, her stomach ached and her head pounded. She lifted the blanket and checked her body her. Her stomach was bandaged, and her clothes were changed into something else. Unless she was an idiot, she could tell that someone had rescued her and even given her medical treatment.

“…”

She put one leg down to get out of her bed.

“Ugh!”

She felt a strong pain in her abdomen. But it was natural. Since the pear is located at the center of the human body, even a slight twist of the body can easily injure it.

Then, the door on the opposite side of the bed opened and two women appeared.

“Oh, you’re awake.”

“Everything, you…!”

Jurina’s eyes widened. She knew the identity of the woman, or rather the girl, who had just spoken to her. A person who is so incomprehensible that he is here.

“Whoops, how are you feeling?”

“Ah, that, it’s okay! Ma, Princess Marie!”

It was Marie Ulstro, the 2nd princess of her neighboring country.

At the appearance of an unexpected figure, Jurina panicked and tried to get her body up from the bed. But Marie quickly came over to the bed and pressed her on the shoulder.

“Calm down. Your wound hasn’t healed yet, so just sit on the bed.”

“Ah, yes, yes. Go, thank you…”

“Huh, you look like you don’t know why.”

“That… Yes, yes….”

“You don’t have to think too complicated. Me and Ethylene, who served as my escort, found you by chance and treated you while I was taking a walk. Then, I took a room at an inn on the street.”

“Ah…”

It was the voice that made me nod my head, and the content.

Once again she looked around and was able to realize that the place she was in was an ordinary inn. She certainly would n’t be able to take an unknown beastman to the royal palace, so their choice her was the right one.

“… Oh, hello late. Thank you for saving her life her. My name is Jurina.”

“Yes, Miss Jurina. Then… Do you have any idea why she suffered life-threatening wounds in such a secluded place?”

“That…”

She hesitated

Will I be able to bring in the princess from the next country? But she soon shook her head. If you think about it, it was something she didn’t have to worry about. Rather, it was the Kingdom of Ulstro that was more dangerous than this country. It was also the country where the demon prince had really infiltrated.

Of course, Marie had a right to know. And at the same time, he needed the strength and power to stand against the mighty enemy of the Demon Prince, who was completely deceiving himself. Even for her sake her, Jurina thought that she would drag her into this.

“Yes, actually…”

Eventually, Jurina told her everything she had been up to.

Without knowing that Marie and Ethylene were already playing with Valdez because they didn’t know everything.

Ethylene, the role of an escort knight, didn’t have to act, he just had to make a serious face behind Marie. After all, she wasn’t very good at deceiving or tricking others.

“Ah… Um, really? I can’t… “

On the other hand, as a listener, Mari listened to Jurina’s story with a very good attitude.

Starting with a match, exclamations, and colorful facial expression changes. As the face madam of the Ulstro royal family, she fully demonstrated her skills in dealing with nobles. Of course, Jurina, who knew nothing about her political side of her, let alone Mari, was completely fooled by her.

Rather, she unknowingly burst into the excitement of Malbo. Then, belatedly, she realized she had overdone it and apologized to her Marie her, blushing.

“S-I’m sorry… Uh, I even talked about useless things…”

“Whoa, no. Rather, thanks to you, you learned an important fact, right?”

Marie’s face her darkened as she said that.

“I can’t believe that Sir Valdes was a demon prince… To be honest, I also had some doubts, but I didn’t think deeply about it. But, if he is definitely a demon prince, there are parts that are quite convincing…”

“Is that so… It’s a bit hard to say this, but I’m glad.”

“Thank you…?”

“Ah, that… You can dismiss it as nonsense, but please believe me… Yes!

“Hehe, I was joking.”

“… Me but….”

Jurina asked Marie about her sudden question about her.

Perhaps it was because of him that he had been staying at the inn all along. Her timing was second to her, and it was a natural question for her, who did n’t know how much time had passed. Her Marie’s answer to him was simple.

“No way. I just came back too. Miss Jurina has been lying down for most of the day. I’m here for a walk as usual.”

“Day…”

Laughter came out. And she was angry at herself for being helpless.

As the day passed, Valdes would expand his position and train Princess Clara, but all he did was lie down in pain. I broke my teeth.

Jurina’s expression darkened, her clenched fists her were covered by her two hands her.

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll do my best to solve the problem.”

“Ah, yes… Thank you….”

After that, the two talked about their plans for the future and parted ways.

“How was it?”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been determined and fooled someone… It was quite fun.”

“What about Clara?”

“Ah, how that couldn’t have been fun! … Ah, come to think of it, brother!”

“Ah, it’s a surprise. What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

“My older brother was really too good!”

“Uh, huh?”

“Do you know how long me and Ethylene waited outside?!”

“Ah… I and Clara….”

“That’s right! While Clara and her are having a lot of fun, we… Ugh.”

“Haha, sorry…”

“I’ll be really angry if you do that again.”

“It was fun though, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“And…”

“Yes? And what?”

“… What are you going to do if you get angry?”

“That, that… “

“Where is the heavenly older brother…”

“Ah, hehe… I’m sorry… ♡ Marie who was against my brother who is like the sky, please punish me with my brother’s cock… ♥”

“… Just show your pussy.”

“Kyaa~♥”
