As the scream echoed, Orian's back moved away. I can't go after him. If you chase him, he'll catch up. If we catch up, we'll have to kill him. You can't kill him, but you have to kill him. In the ambivalence of grandeur, she looked up to heaven with her head in her arms.

A demonic crystal lamp suspended in the ceiling begins to blink as if it had sensed her passion. Central section of the first floor of the Xuanlong Palace. It is the center of countless disturbed passages and the intersection connecting numerous rooms. I wondered if the doors in some of those rooms had opened, who or what voices had flown in, but she did not answer. It would be Zalwarn's senior officials who have been asking. I'm at Heavenly Wheel Palace. I can't think of anything else. You must have wondered about this attitude, one of the senior officials called in a guard.

She couldn't move.

(What did I want to do?

I just asked myself, there was no way I'd get an answer or anything.

No, I have to answer. She wanted Orian to be rewarded. He wanted to poke his reward at a man who had betrayed his daughter's expectations, plunged her into a Dinobot Cave, and allowed her to spend a decade of hell. It's nothing but death. Killing was the only purpose. I didn't think of him as my father. I kept thinking he was an enemy.

I have lived only dreaming of killing Orian-Lebaen.

There were no other goals. But I'm glad to hear that. If only I could kill Orian, then I'm glad. Youth was lost indestructibly, and hell spreading the smell of blood and death was her living world. It takes some purpose to survive. There's no way you can fight through that harsh world without a purpose.

You can't just "want to live" in a comic way. The people who just wanted to live or die, they just died. Only those with a purpose survived. Ginarvi, who vowed to avenge Mirelbas, Faye, who wanted to help Ginarvi, Crude, who declared he would grab the future, Zayn, who wanted to grab the stars, and Miriu, who held the killing of his father in his chest.

I fought through it, I survived.

When she was sworn up from hell, she swore to kill Orian, but had to prioritize her mission first. You can kill him after the war is over. That's what I decided. But Miliu was captured by the Gandhian army. Both Crude and Zain died, and she alone, after all, had no other path but to kill Orian. I lost everything.

I found a stop tree. If I'd stopped there, my heart would be at ease. Being at the boy's side could distract him from feeling lonely. He was the one who hit and followed to deceive himself. I could also make an excuse that my memory was cloudy. It was just fine. But what underlies her was her willingness to kill Orian, and I didn't think I had to kill Orian to leave myself to that tranquility.

Curse.

Tied to a country called Zalwarn. You can't betray me. Being one of his people, I couldn't. He is the light. I wanted to be in that light. But as long as there is a country in this world called Zalwarn, as long as Orian lives, we can't do that.

I have to kill Orian. Otherwise, it would be a distant dream, such as for her to truly gain freedom.

The Gandia army was approaching the Dragon House, the capital of Zalwarn. I'm about to get a chance. Might be able to kill Orian, distracted by the dragon house invasion.

That was the biggest and only reason she bought a dragon house guide to get out. I couldn't think of any other way to infiltrate the Dragon House with my captors. I was fortunate that Ryufu was a complex topographical city. The Gandia Army intended to take any means for the control of the Dragon House. Interests matched. She gained some freedom in her position as a guide to the Dragon House. That's good. It is not an end. Her purpose is only one. It was only about killing Orian-Lebien.

"You said you were with Master Orian?

"Ha."

I heard senior officials and guards talking, but she ignored. It doesn't matter anymore. I lost everything. The purpose of living, the food, the meaning.

I couldn't kill him.

Stunning, I admit.

I had a chance to kill him. I had a good chance. Orian was asleep when he stepped between the Lord's heavens. If you couldn't get one footstep closer, you could have killed him easily. I should have snapped my neck with a sword. But while I couldn't do it either, Orian distracted me.

Then, even before I reached the Xuanlong Palace, I had any chance of slashing him. Orian was right. He was showing a gap. If you were really going to kill him, you could have done it by the time you reached the Xuanlong Palace. I reached the Xuanlong Palace without doing so.

Orian must have boiled the business. He wanted her to kill him. He said he set everything up to get killed. Her memories, emotions, and thoughts were all created for that purpose, Orian came.

If that is the truth, what has been her previous life? It's just that I've been walking down a bloody father-killing path, set up by my real father. That's all life. Nothing else.

She despaired.

(Healthy?

Rebel the last words that Orian left behind. What do you want me to do healthy? Do you want me to live? Live healthy, what happens.

Nothing.

The purpose of living, and the reason for it, is gone. I let them get away with not even being able to kill the person to be killed.

"Looks like he's wounded..."

"Who is it?

"Whatever it is, do you have anything to pull out your sword in the Xuanlong Palace? Grab him and put him in jail."

Abandoned, the high-ranking officials followed the scene. If you try them, it might mean you don't want to get involved in the crap noise under this circumstance. If they were truly senior government officials, they would have been chased by the Gandian army's response. It would be the truth to want to leave this place as soon as possible, even for a second.

"Ha."

Four guards saluted the officials. They must have been gathered from all over the Xuanlong Palace. Armed and swordworn within the Heavenly Wheel Palace is a state of emergency until now. Typically, no swords or knives are allowed in the Heavenly Wheel Palace. It was a unique sight during the war.

"That's the thing. Make it weird."

"Just the four of us, are you going to capture me?

Miliu said, but he is never underestimating the guards. She was injured and could not use armed summons. Neither Sir Phantom Dragon nor the Dragon Man responded to her summons. Of course, that can't even make her helpless. Even without an armed summons, it is the armed summoner who can fight more than the soldiers there.

That hell was the space to hit and put on to sharpen your combat skills.

Though I hold my fist, I didn't need to put my strength into it. I don't even need a stand. There are four opponents. forward, left, right, and standing behind. They hadn't even pulled out their swords yet. Her sword rolling on the floor may have induced their alarm.

It didn't matter.

"Woman... what are you doing?

"What have you done with Master Orian?

"Orian would have run away. Abandon this country."

Miliu laughed mockingly. In fact, it was herself she laughed at. All I could do was mock myself for pitifully missing my target.

"Stupid."

"Don't believe me, it's paranoia. There's no way Master Orian would do that."

"Right. You must have failed to assassinate Master Orian."

"Oh, you're turning your head, too. Yes, I failed to kill Orian-Lebaen."

She, taking off her helmet, threw it towards the man on the left. It's moving at the same time. When he arrived at the man in front of him, he paid his legs to fall, and when he was lucky enough to control him, he pulled his sword out of the man's waist. With a sword in his neck, he glances at the man to the right and behind him. The man on the left seemed to have been hit by a helmet blow.

Move and I'll kill you.

"Ha, you think I'll miss the one that planned Master Orian's assassination?

"Is Orian more important than your own life?

Miliu gave up, but there was no lie in the look on the face of the man under control.

"That's all we have."

"If Zalwarn is gone, the Pendragon clan will be worthless," he said.

"Just because a country crumbles doesn't make it that easy to change its ways."

She exhaled as she felt the two remaining soldiers filling the distance with twitching. I just killed this guy here, and it doesn't matter. The battle is over, and more importantly, it's the same Zalwarne.

So what?

I threw it up all over my chest, but I also realized it wasn't something I could break off. Even those hated beings are not so easy to kill or anything like that. That would be something similar, but different, to not being able to kill Orian.

"It's not a beauty or anything that doesn't work."

Two, when I thought I heard a familiar voice, the body of the guard collapsed in a corner of my sight. Of the four, one of the remaining pulled out his sword and tried to cope with the situation, but soon I can see that he gave up.

"No one, he's stubborn."

"Aren't you stubborn, too?

"Um, I'd like to deny it."

That's how I put my sword in my sheath, it was Ryug. Admitting that there was no blood on her body, she was relieved. The fallen guards have not been killed. At a glance, the man Miliu controlled by weight also seemed to have finally given up. Instead, his eyes were somewhat surprised.

"You're safe."

Turning to the woman's voice, the beautiful princess had just rushed over from behind the lug. I'm not sure in the dark, but I couldn't think of anything else to say that I'm acting with Ryug.

"... Meryl?

"Long time no see, Sister Miliu"

Miliu found her childhood shadow on Meryl's face, making her want to cry too much of her nostalgia. but look, ask. Why is Luig here, whose only task should have been securing Merrill?

"Why are you here?

"I've been going down the underground aisle, but on my way, I met my uncle. My uncle said he had a Miryu sister in the Xuanlong Palace, so he hurried."

"I'm glad they rushed me. Thanks to you, we made it."

"Even if I don't make it, I'm not just dead. There was no problem."

She drew her sword as she said back to hide the surprise that spread in her chest. Just in case, I kept it in my hand, but I'm gonna retreat from the top of the guard and let you go.

The guard was flabbergasted to see that Meryl, the princess of the Ryburn family, was treating Miliu in a friendly manner.

What I want to be flabbergasted about was that she was the same.

(Father... what are you thinking)

I wanted to scream.

I just screamed, and there's no way I can solve anything. However, if you don't raise your voice, your irrefutable emotions are swirling. It wanders through my mind like dirt.

The uncle Meryl met in the underground corridor must mean Eighty-nine Orians. When that happens, I wonder why Orian told them where Miliu is. If you try to be Orian, you're supposed to exist that doesn't matter. He couldn't kill himself eventually, even though he raised him to kill himself. You can call it a failure.

(And yet, how...!

"Sister Miliu...?

Called her first name, she realized, for the first time, that she was crying. I can't stop the blurring and zero falling tears. It couldn't have been possible to stop the waves of emotion. I was just crying.

If nothing is sad, I'm not happy.

I just overflowed with tears.
