Desire

Wait, I thought time had stopped. Persian's chest is slightly wet. It was the tears. Azin grabbed Persian by the back without a word and swept her back. It's been two years. It was as overwhelming as I thought... or as light as I thought. It may be because I've thought about it many times and painted it many times.

‘.. not yet. ’

I calmed down. It was not time to get all wet with emotion. Azin did what he wanted, but his work in these woods is not done yet. Not the Queen, not the Undead. Everyone was still there. The same is true of the Gracians who were scattered from these forests.

“.. will you wait a little longer? ”

Azin whispered in Persian ears. Persian raises his head. She blinks at the pain with her moist eyes. In that appealing look, he couldn't help but keep his lips shut.

“... why? ”

“.. because I still have work to do. ”

The laughter that I make is written. I felt like staying here with Persian and talking more. But you shouldn't. If I had the time now, I would have had to prioritize what to do now.

“... okay. ”

Persian spills his eyes and falls from Azin's body. She folds her arms, puckering her lips. Then I opened my eyes and shot Azin.

“If it's important, I respect that. I don't want to disturb him.” “.. interruption. It's not like that. I can't believe I'm interrupting you, Persian.” “Well, that's a relief. You know he's in a good mood, but he's ruined it. I know.” “We'll get it on the boat later, so you know that.” “I understand. I don't know how you're going to get it, but I'll make my own arrangements.” “Hmph. ”

Persian lip twitches. Azin rises up. He looks down at Persic with his regrettable eyes, and he shakes his head across.

“Bye. I have a lot of time. ”

He nodded. He turns around and leaves the hut. It was so hard to open the door at first and come in here. I didn't need any preparation or tension to leave the hut.

“Why does it come out? ”

As I left the hut, I heard a voice. Azin turns his head to look at the lake. There is a queen standing on the surface of the lake. She tilts her head, expressing an incomprehensible look.

“Isn't she the woman who missed you so much and longed to see you again? Why aren't you doing anything?” What do you mean? "What do you mean, nothing?” “I don't know, and I can't empathize with it. But I do know that there is a love between a man and a woman. I've seen other men think of me that way, even though I haven't been through it.” “So?” When the emotions were heightened, men and women became close to the beast. They covet each other, hug each other, kiss each other. They use reproductive behavior for simple pleasures, sweating and panting at each other. Why don't you do that? ”

The queen asks, and the moment I hear the question, I am speechless. Azin, who was staring at the queen, hesitated for a moment about what to say.

“.. there's plenty of time. ”

Azin, who was thinking of answering for a moment, said the answer. The Queen's eyebrows frown slightly.

“You have a lot of time? You mean you can barely contain the overwhelming emotions right now?” “Not everyone can do that. In this situation, I still have work to do, and Persian understood me. That's all." “Right. Not all humans are the same. But it's a little different than I expected. I saw how much you waited for each other and wanted to see how your emotions would behave at that heightened end. How you covet each other, how you love each other. I'm a little disappointed.”

Is she a voyeur patient? Azin worked hard to get that thought out of his head.

“You know? I thought about killing that kid. ”

The queen suddenly said. At that, Azin's face cooled down. The boy. It was clear who he was talking about.

“.. why? ”

“I wanted to see how frustrated you were. I don't know how I feel, and I can't empathize with it. After all, I chose to observe other people's feelings. ”

The queen's tail rises. Azin glances at the queen with a cold face.

“If your emotions reach to the end, and you just reach out and you can't... reach out. What would happen if that happened? I was curious about that. So I thought I'd kill her, too.” “... if I kill Persian..." “What will you do?" ”

The queen asked.

“If I kill her. What can you do to me? Can you kill me? You can't do anything. You can be angry with me and cause me a lot of pain. But you can't kill me. Even if Adim comes here himself. Even if there are other gods equal to Adim. Because I don't know death, I never die. ”

Azin's lips were chapped. If the Guardian detonates the special effects of the Guardian and receives the protection of the Addim, the Queen can be overwhelmed. Temporary overwhelming. You cannot kill the queen. Even if today becomes the night of the full moon.

“Don't make that face. ”

The queen smiles coldly at Azin's cold expression. She shakes her head slowly.

“Let's try that, I just thought. I'm not going to kill her.” What are we going to do? "” “Literally. I thought so, but I don't intend to anymore.” “.. why?” “Because I didn't want to. ”

The Queen was not a big deal. She raises her hands behind her back, her side head over her shoulder.

“He's a good boy. If it wasn't for the child I liked, I would have been able to carry the weight of killing... Luckily, I didn't want to kill him that much. That's all." "You mean you don't know how it feels? ”

The question was interrupted for a moment. The queen blinks and stares at Azin. His gaze and silence made him realize that he was obscured.

“You and I are a little alike. ”

“... what? ”

“No, that's a little wrong. I'm not the same as you... I was three years ago. It's not that you don't know how you feel. You never realized how you felt. ”

Azin had no choice but to laugh. What if she doesn't know what she's saying, and she can't empathize with it? He would have simply killed Persian for his own purposes.

“.. I don't know what you mean. ”

“I'm not a man enough to make you understand that. I was just on my way, but I'll tell you what's so great about it.” “I never asked for a lesson from you. ”

The queen frowns and spits. Azin shrugs.

“So, why did you leave the hut, what did you do?” “I didn't come alone into these woods.” “I see. You came to these woods with the king of Gracia and his men. They're wandering the woods right now. Fighting the magic of this forest, dying over and over. That's a lot less.” “If I were to kill those things, What are you going to do?” “What are you going to do? ”

The queen smiles bloody. It was the right door, and Ajin knew him, too. No matter how many magic objects die in this forest, the queen doesn't care. The queen raised her hand. The darkness of the forest fades with her movements.

“Go.”

The queen languishes. The darkness that has kept her out of sight is gone.

“Why would I stop you? I have given you my respect. I, Verdinger Selgerounia, have not acquired the gods, dragons, or Mages. ”

Azin reaches out as he listens to her. I heard a sound from a distance. The darkness that was blocking your senses disappears, causing you to hear the rushing sounds of the forest.

Azine widened the senses. Nothing else is needed. What Azin wanted was the emperor. Azin plunges into the ground in pursuit of the Emperor's presence. Azin, who jumped high and looked down at the forest, immediately found the emperor.

One side of the forest is burning and freezing. There was nothing to think about. The emperor was there. Azin sprints into the air.

The emperor stood in the middle of the forest unshakeable. Behind his back stood the Five Spiritual Kings, and a great surge of power swept around him. The ground burns and freezes again.

But it was only the emperor who stood there. There were many corpses lying around him. The knights of Gracia had different armor. The monsters that died and were resurrected to the Undead and attacked the Emperor died again at the hands of the Emperor they served. Ajin looked into the situation first without immediately appearing.

‘Death Knight. ’

Bolaris and his Death Knights surround the Emperor. They stop at nothing to approach the Emperor. They were the ones who abandoned the God of Knights, but it seemed a burden to face the Five Spirit Kings at the same time.

‘There doesn't seem to be any wound. ’

Ajin was a little disappointed. I was hoping the Emperor would suffer a slight wound in this situation. But it should be comforting to know that Gracie's power has decreased greatly.

‘Okay, so what do we do here? ’

Is there an end to the Emperor's power? I'm not sure. I've never fought an emperor before. But there was nothing to think about. The special effects of escort knights have not yet been completed.

With the current azin, you can slaughter the Emperor in front of you without even thinking about it.

‘If I have to. ’

This was also the right door. The emperor will die in these woods. Actually, you don't have to kill me. Even if the emperor returns to Gracia, Hermione will become the emperor over time.

‘No, we have to kill him. ’

The Black Forest expedition is practically a failure. Gracia lost a lot of power. What if the Emperor returns to the Empire in this state? In the nature of the emperor, we may be preparing to subdue the forest again. In the worst case, the emperor may ask Azin for the sin of this failure. If that were the case, he would have to travel a long way.

But if the Emperor dies in these woods,

‘At least three must die in these woods. Emperor Muren. Biggenhardt.’

Court Wizard Muren and Grand Duke Bigenhardt. And if the Emperor dies? The three who had the most power in Gracia disappeared. If that happens, no one can blame this situation. Even if you want to ask Ajin about his responsibility, there is no one higher than Hermione, so you won't be insulted. The Grand Duke of Portia, an army commander, has embraced Hermione in this situation. Even though Prince Savirt is still alive, he's a cripple with a torn limb anyway. I can't do anything.

So the emperor kills here. Kill the Emperor and make Hermione Emperor. If so, the biggest condolences that Ajin can do in Gracia will be completed. Familiarity between weakening Gratia's power and the newly emerging emperor. If we do, we can still have a friendly relationship with Gracie.

‘The problem is the Death Knights. ’

Is there a problem? Ajin has gained the queen's approval. If the Desknights were loyal knights to the Queen, they would not be hostile to Sijin. The situation is enough. Azin rises up.

A frontal assassination.
