"Did... did...?
As the bell continues to ring, Eileen snaps. Relax, Lilia left her back on the wall. Elephas looked up anxiously at the sky from the melting corridor.
"Now the surgery should have been lifted... if it had been encroached upon by demonic incense..."
- That's it, Eileen.
Several noisy footsteps rang and aligned the corridor floor.
It was Marks who came out in the lead.
I look at the blurry corridor and whisper my eyebrows, but I tell him to correct his posture.
"It's the Empress's order. Eileen Lauren Dorthrish. You and your people are under arrest for violating the Emperor's life, and then executed!
- Speaking of which, there was still such a problem.
Elephas and almonds with a changed complexion cover my back. After looking sideways at it, Marks turned to Lilia.
"... Lilia too. This is all the fuss, the interrogation... you have to take it"
Lilia, who kept her back on the wall, looks up. And, yeah, I shook my head cutely.
"You work, don't you? There's only one thing you can understand if you talk properly. I was just trying to protect the Empress's precious things."
"How dare you..."
"'Cause it's true, isn't it? Hehe, that's sad. I can't believe Master Eileen's last execution."
Lilia hides in the shadow of Marks. Marks frowned, but seemed to be a young ace for the Knights, looking to Eileen.
"Grab it.... The Emperor ordered me to kill the demon."
"Dear Eileen. Grab an almond and run. I can stop you if you want."
"No! Now, if you don't do something about that woman, she'll get the Holy Sword again...!
"But I don't have the skill to fight you right now! The magic in the shadows is gone, and the Holy Sword is untouchable."
Irene holds her fist to Elephas' point. Calling Irene's holy sword, which wiped out Lilia's holy sword, would leave little power and would not be a weapon against the human opponent in the first place. Without the magic of the shadows, I can't borrow the power of other demons.
The Knights pull out their swords for Eileen. Irene bit her lips on several cuts that glowed.
Do you want to keep running or stick around ready to smash balls?
While I was lost - the Knights sword was rounded up and cut with a single flash, and that cut fell off.
"- Who are you pointing your sword at?
A man with glossy dark hair, floating in the sky as a matter of course, asked.
The frigid eyes are cold as ice, even in the form of a slightly grumpy eyebrow. Perfect beauty, even in the sun, shines rather without being compromised.
Scare the beholder, demonic king.
"Dear Claude...!
Their eyes are red, and they stare at everything.
Claude, turning her back on Eileen and putting her legs down before her, told her quietly.
"What are you doing to my fiancée? Draw your sword."
"... Claude, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince... at His Majesty's command"
"I feel very bad right now. I don't care who he is. I want to hit eight."
A magical thing rises from Claude's back, making a sound.
The almonds cling to me with a tremor.
"You guys know what I mean? When I woke up, there was all sorts of things, but this anger I had no place to do because it was almost solved. You say you don't give my orders there. This is the food for the outfit. I don't want the Demon King to be mistaken for brutality, but if we all lose our tracks, we'll have a problem."
"- Ki... is your memory back?"
Marks called out to his temper as the Knights soaked up and turned to each other. In front of you with Lilia on your back, I guess you don't want to look silly. I want to applaud that attitude.
But the word "memory" adds to Claude's anger and causes him to call a blast.
"Memory? Oh yes, memory. Right. How dare you take me lightly, you disgrace me. What if Eileen hates me? Shouldn't you all apologize to me?
At the next moment, all the Knights of Marks lined up in the corridor lay down on the floor like they were crushed even by heavy things. Lilia without the Holy Sword just crawls without being able to resist.
Claude brightened his tone slightly as he looked over at that sight of everyone sinking on the floor.
"What, you can honestly listen to me. That's a pretty good view. I got a little room in my mind. Are you on my side?"
"K, Dear Claude... I know how you feel, but that's it already..."
I'm starting to feel sorry for the overwhelming difference in power. The Marks and the others are only under the orders of the Emperor.
fisting on the floor and Marks raising his face in desperate shape. There was sweat on that forehead.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... this is the life of the Emperor... we carry out our orders"
"Oh. The Emperor's life. Well, I'm sorry, too. I still need room in my heart. - Listen, everybody, make your body easier and listen. The emperor's life has been withdrawn."
"... na..."
"You bet, Cedric"
Marks turns to the back of the corridor for the call.
The pressure from Claude seemed to be gone, and Lilia was cursorily waking her body.
I carve a crease between my eyebrows and look at the knights Cedric is lying on his knees, sighing and saying.
"... right. That's why, everybody, back off."
"... Cedric! What do you mean, by Lord Lester?"
"Lester? Oh, you mean the guy who believed in the false alarm that demons were going to attack the Empress' ball and make a scene?
Marks, who tried to grab Cedric's chest, takes a step back with his voice stuck.
Lilia stood up and shook up.
"Se, Cedric. What are you talking about? Lester does that."
"Until Julian, Gilbert, and Gray...... I didn't know they were quite small and sober. Are requests for assassinations to churches, dark auctions, illegal deals, or bribes of unknown origin?"
"Hey, come on. What are you talking about? Hey, Marks."
"Though you seem too dumb to be honest and didn't take part in those attempts. Still, it captures innocent people with profane evidence. Nice try."
"Nah..."
Marks stood as relieved as he was. Complain as Lilia rocks that arm.
"Marks! There's something wrong with Cedric. I can't believe I doubted my people."
"Don't worry, Lilia. Everybody says you're irrelevant. They're all doing it for you.... a horrible woman. I can't leave you alone. You bet, brother."
I turned my body slightly and Cedric looked at Claude. Claude returns a sigh.
"... right. But isn't she doing nothing herself?
"This outburst of Lesters is my handicap, my lord. Please punish me."
Marks and Lilia flash their faces to Cedric, who knelt herself before Claude. Eileen blinked, too.
Claude looks down at her half-brother with her head down, shrugging her shoulders.
"... then she, her fiancée, has no choice but to commit the same crime. I'll give you the punishment you deserve. First things like claustrophobia."
"Yeah. I should still be worth keeping alive, brother. Someday you will bring together those who oppose the reign of your brother, and you will be executed as mastermind."
"Become... Cedric, you're lying. Why not!
"That's what I'm talking about, Lilia. I'm sorry I'm such a jerk."
Apologizing, Cedric was laughing. Step back like Lilia was scared.
I didn't think the scare was an act.
Seeing the sight of undisputed reality, Eileen finally understands the meaning of Cedric's inexplicable behavior.
He wanted to betray Lilia. It is not a character that I can manipulate as I wish.
To show her that she's a living person.
"But my love for you will remain the same for life"
I think I saw the same thing somewhere with Cedric's eyes that soaked me with dizziness and joy, but I decided to pretend that someone wouldn't notice.
