12 – Chapter 12

According to Ea’s opinion, Illyana got into her carriage.

It reminded me of a sheep being led to a slaughterhouse somewhere, but it can’t be helped.

So she climbed into the carriage, and she fell asleep right away, probably because she was tired.

As she pulled out her tentacles to support her slowly collapsing body, Ea stood up and laid her Illyana’s head on her own lap.

As soon as I saw her and tried to pull her tentacles back, I heard Ea’s voice.

“…She did things a young lady couldn’t do.”

Yes, she did the wrong thing.

What would you do if you tried to kill her while she was sleeping?

She tried to reply, but when she realized that she couldn’t hear me anyway, she shut her mouth again.

But Ea’s words continued.

“And I think I will do one more bad thing this time, so I think I should tell you in advance.”

As soon as he hears her words, her tentacles come out in response to her emotions and bind her Ea.

What Ea just said to her is like saying that she will make another assassination attempt.

How could this behavior not appear?

If that’s true, it’s possible that Illyana’s sleeping right now is because of her manipulation.

But seeing that she didn’t resist even being grabbed by the tentacles, she loosened her grip a little, wanting to at least hear her story.

Then she continues the story.

“Ugh… Thank you… Let me explain the situation…”

“First of all, I am really sorry that the young lady has to continue using her authority for me.”

After such a short apology, unbelievable stories came out of Ea’s lips.

“…And in fact, everyone in the mansion knows the lady’s true identity and hates her.”

What the hell is that?

Okay, let’s get past knowing her identity.

But hatred? Confusion begins to set in as she is so different from the image that the householder showed her.

“Of course, you could crush the whole family right now, but I hope you will be patient with me a little longer.”

“Because that family is worth using.”

And after listening to the story that followed, it was clear that this maid named Eara was also insane.

Ea’s story, which began with the words “She is worthy of use,” Led to an explanation of her family’s value of use, how to achieve it, and what she had done now.

‘So, the head of the household tricks Illyana into harming her and the servants gaslight and make them side with Illyana? Then, the family is actually Illyana’s?’

Thinking about it again is crazy.

But after hearing the reasons and results of Ea’s actions yesterday, it doesn’t seem that absurd.

There are still two of them, but if we put in the time, it might definitely be possible.

In addition, if the strategy Ea prepared today goes well, the family head will be wary of Illyana’s power and extend her preparation period.

For Illyana, who had a long or short preparation period, the attack itself was dangerous, so the longer the time, the better.

And if that happens, you can enlist the servants during that extended period of time and give legitimacy to the clan deprivation that may happen later.

But is it worth risking Illyana’s safety, or even her life?

However, there is a reason why Ea’s opinion cannot be ignored.

The explanation written on the family tree.

‘It is made into a household that follows the will of the evil spirit.’

If it is a member of my family created by my will, there is no doubt that it will be for Illyana.

Perhaps they value Illyana more than I do.

And on top of that, the difference in information.

Ea has lived in the Altena family for a long time, and she has learned the atmosphere and customs of the place.

But I don’t know anything about it.

Then wouldn’t that judgment be a judgment that I would also make if I had sufficient background knowledge?

In addition, what is being done now is the report of the preliminary action candidate.

That means even if I oppose it here, I can’t stop what will happen from now on.

“…Haa…”

As she sighs in the air and returns her tentacles, Ea expresses her gratitude and focuses on taking care of Illyana again.

Three knights, a mage and an archer…

I have to think about how to deal with them.

.

Arriving at her lake, when Illyana was busy enjoying the beautiful sight, Ea took her lunchbox from her wagon and began spilling the liquid from the bottle in her arms into it.

Illiana doesn’t seem to notice, but I can see her very clearly.

Nevertheless, no restraints are already agreed upon.

If Illyana consumes that anesthetic, she will soon fall asleep and lose consciousness.

That way, she wouldn’t know about the people who kidnapped her.

Basically, she doesn’t want to make people feel anxious that she might be kidnapped, and she doesn’t want to show people dying in front of her as much as possible.

Fortunately, Ea’s strategy worked, and when Illyana collapsed, Ea fired her flare toward the sky.

Then, as if she had waited, an arrow flew from the forest.

She cuts it off easily, but she can’t help being nervous.

A single mistake could hurt Illyana.

As their surprise attack is blocked by an unexpected presence, several people emerge from the forest.

The knights, wizards, and archers that Ea spoke of.

But there is one person whom Ea didn’t mention.

…But it seems like I’ve seen it a lot…

Let’s think about it.

Silver hair and green eyes. There, she is a nun of the Sun Church. The same age as Illyana.

…Angela?

She is said to be the youngest saint of the Sun Bridge, but she also has the nickname of a saint abandoned by God.

Why did you have such a nickname?

Simple. Since the heavenly god worshiped by the Sun Church had chosen her as her holy woman, not once had she been entrusted with her oracle.

In this world, a believer in the Church of the Sun basically receives an oracle at least once.

However, a saintess who is not even an ordinary believer has never received an oracle?

This is a problem. And that problem becomes tinnitus and follows that child.

But why did such a child get caught in the announcement that the head of the household urgently and secretly recruited?

While expressing her doubts like that, Ea tried to take Illyana away from her, shouting “It’s dangerous” To me, wondering if Ea recognized her as well.

However, she cannot entrust Illyana to Ea, who does not know when she will return to her senses.

In order to immediately stop Ea, and to reinforce her brainwashing, Ea was imprisoned with tentacles.

Then a voice came from the other side.

“God against the sun! O God who hides the light! Free the girl! Even if you say it’s an evil god, you don’t have any pride to take a god hostage!”

Could it be that I was holding on to her Ea?

In that case, it would be nice if you could see the hostages and put them in your hands.

But the group immediately showed with their lines that they had no intention of doing that.

“Kuk… Greatness always comes with sacrifice. Sorry girl I will never forget your sacrifice for the rest of my life.”

Huh. Up to the sacrifice.

Is that really a group of good people?

It’s no different from the group of bandits I saw last time.

I glanced at Angela, and she too was staring at the knight who had spit out her words with a tired expression.

After adding a few more words like that, they finally rushed towards Illyana.

A knight uses a sword, a wizard uses magic, and an archer uses a bow to press.

But the only thing that could be called a threat was the wizard’s magic.

To be honest, everything about them fell far short of what I thought.

I was thinking of losing some tentacles.

The knights who thought it would be quite durable died too easily, and the archer’s bow had low accuracy.

At least to the extent that the magician’s fireball made the tentacles struggle.

But strangely, there is no activity from Angela.

I was most wary of dealing with the power of the heavenly gods, but if I didn’t do anything like that, there’s no reason to be wary.

Obviously, since he was still young, he must have been terrified at the sight of death in front of his eyes.

As I was thinking about that and trying to organize the last article, I heard a prayer.

“…God, please shine the world with that bright light and punish them…”

As soon as the prayer is over, shining spears fall from the sky aiming for tentacles.

A tentacle that turns to dust upon being hit.

That’s right, Angelage.

It looks like all the tentacles will disappear if I watch it, so I hurriedly finish the last article and rush at those in the back row.

Along with Angela’s prayers, the sun shines on their weapons, but with such a difference in weight class, it is difficult to lose without skill.

As it is, after turning the archer and the wizard into flesh, he sends tentacles to Angela.

Angela tries to block the attacks of the tentacles by unleashing the power of the heavenly gods, but she still falls short.

Angela ends up allowing the tentacle’s blow to her own body.

And the moment the tentacle touched Angela, the world began to shatter.

The spectacle that was stable with a ringing sound and illuminated the material world changes while revealing geometric patterns like the original kaleidoscope.

Then, eventually, a part of the space distorts, and a being appears.

A woman with a halo behind her head with her white dress.

And the moment each other recognized each other’s existence, she spits out the same words from her and her mouth.

“”What is this…””
