Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

It's the worst.

I am confident that the last twelve hours have been the worst parts of my life. I think my life has already ended once, but you know something.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I fell into the water. I swam with all my strength to die, and then the torture train awaits. It was no joke.

I was tortured without knowing what was going on. I begged them to forgive me, beg me for mercy, and tell me why they tore me apart, but they didn't pick a single eyebrow.

“Who backed up the culprit? ”

“Last Wednesday, you met with Ersi. Are you sure?”

I left out some nonsense that I don't even understand.

I don't know why, but my survival instinct was fiercely warning me that I should never say 'yes' or 'no'. The moment I answered correctly, my life was really about to end. I said I didn't know, and they tortured me unconditionally.

The amazing thing was that. It's a potion. Something gushes out, and all of the wounds heal. I realized I had fallen into a completely different world around that point. Chat with Venus Pants before dying, a world where potions exist…….

Crystal was Princess Johanna. She broke into a prison and took me away. It was a huge brawl with the guards, whether he acted fairly strangely.

It was shaped here, because I was out of my mind at the time. The interrogation is too painful and I am confused.

If Princess Johanna hadn't saved me, she would have died... … Ersi, Nabal, and all of them would have said yes to the torture, and I would have been ridiculed for all kinds of nonsense. I am truly grateful to Her Majesty.

“Are you feeling better? ”

When I was resting in the bedroom, Sebastian came in. This man was also my savior. It was Empress Johanna who ordered it, but I heard that it was Sebastian who actually referred the guards. He wanted a bedroom here, too.

“Yes, thanks to Sebastian. ”

“What? I follow the Queen Dowager's orders. ”

Sebastian said as if it were natural.

He was a first-class servant of the Empire, and I was a foreigner with nothing but ointment. There was a difference between heaven and earth in identity. Nevertheless, Sebastian did not lose his respect for me. It made sense to guess what kind of personality he was.

“I'm sorry for you.... ”

“Something went wrong. What do you want me to do? ”

As soon as I spoke, Sebastian was slightly surprised.

“You're calm, compared to how you got out of prison an hour ago. ”

From my point of view, it was obvious. Under no circumstances did the Empress of the Kingdom confiscate those who were tortured. It couldn't have gone wrong. The potion restores health. All that remained was a mental Awakening.

“I heard you can get into the Beast's Den and live as long as you stay awake." I'll do whatever I can. ”

“Excellent attitude. So, where should I start...? ”

Sebastian told me about the current situation in the imperial palace. The description was brief and clear, so it was easy to understand. I swear, if the bastards who tortured me looked half like Sebastian, they'd be happy to confess.

“That's roughly it. The Maid of Honor and the Guard Commander are vomiting the Empress Johanna in one voice. ”

Sebastian sighs.

“The Empress is still seeing the Maid of Honor. I'm worried there's a limit to how long I can last. ”

“I see.”

Prideful departments and immature princesses. Definitely did not look good. How much more dangerous my position was.

But, is it the Internal Affairs and the Guards…….

“Sebastian. Do you know of any other members of the court who are particularly familiar with my roster? ”

“Well, perhaps the Emperor Rudolf is closer to the inner manifest. ”

Originally, she was the most prestigious woman in the imperial palace. Prince Rudolf is the Empress's enemy. It was naturally closer to the internal list than others.

“So, do you have any patrolmen who support you? ”

“Ah. The guards generally support Queen Elizabeth. He's been the most devout preacher for centuries. ”

And the knight-affirming guards supported Elizabeth, the greatest genius of all time. I lowered my head for a moment.

Johanna von Habsburg. That was definitely Elizabeth's sister's name.

Does not appear directly in. Johanna von Habsburg was already dead by the time the game began.

The cause of death was suicide. The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince, or their relatives, could not stand to be molested over the years. In fact, it would be okay to think of it as a massacre....

The good word is the victim, and the bad word is the loser.

I've only heard briefly from Sebastian, but it's clear that this is hell of a power struggle. It is not something to boast about being weak in such a place.

No, Empress Elizabeth won the Dungeon Arch because she survived such a hell. The strong are virtuous and the weak are sinful. Johanna von Habsburg was a minor.

In a cold way, he's not that great after all. A humble existence compared to that future Elizabeth who conquered the Demon King and united the continents...... However, that person saved my life.

“Sebastian. Help me deliver the Queen Dowager. ”

“Did you come up with any good ideas? ”

Did I feel a strong sense of confidence in my voice? Sebastian did not hide his expectations. I didn't know why I valued it because I didn't waste my time asking why I saved it.

“Yes, it's a very threatening situation, but you might hit them hard." ”

Yes, reasons are not important. She saved me. If so, how should I behave…….

After a while, Sebastian accompanied me to the Queen Dowager's conference room. The interview room was small to make sure that the position of the second princess was not great. Sebastian knocks politely.

“Your Grace, this is Sebastian. ”

“Come in.”

You hear a clearly dull voice outside the door. It was far from being competent. Suddenly, I became anxious. And my anxiety turned into reality as soon as I opened the waterhole.

A silver-haired, impressive girl sits in a luxurious chair. Should I say I sat down? I just dug myself up. He was giving out an aura called 'Very boring right now.'

“Wow! You're awake! ”

But when we look this way, we shout for joy. I don't know, but for an Imperial princess, she seemed pretty foolish. Honestly, my first impression was bad.

I bent my knees without feeling faint.

“I've never met Saga John, the beautiful honor of Habsburg. ”

“Yes, yes. My John's a bit of a hotshot. ”

The girl smiled heavily and boasted. There was no doubt in my mind. Maybe my first impression was a better one…….

“Hey, come closer here! I'm very interested in you. So, how did you get through the Imperial Palace's absolute barrier? You really don't know martial arts or magic at all? What's the point? Was there really an accomplice on the inside? ”

King Johanna asked me a quick question. I was hesitant about how I would react, and Sebastian opened fire for me next to him.

“Your Majesty. He's only been out of the torture chamber an hour now. I wonder if we can talk about this later.... ”

“Hmmm? Hmmm. Even so.”

Johanna rubs her side head.

“We don't have much time. Maybe two hours at the most. In two hours, yes. You said her name was Lorita, right? She's going to be taken to the inside, to the guards or both. ”

Only two hours...... My esophagus was in a jam. It felt like someone was strangling me from behind.

King Johanna smiled. It was an honest smile.

“I'll just say I'm sorry. Lorita, I'm sorry. You may think I'm a lifesaver, but I can't save your life. I just postponed the time of death by about three hours. ”

“ ……. ”

“But at least I can avenge you a little. I kidnapped you, and now everyone inside the palace has heard about it. If you are punished by the Internal Affairs or the Guards, everyone will know you were wrongfully sacrificed. ”

The reputation of the inner and proximal guards falls to the ground. It's a bit of vengeance, but it's the best I can do, and the princess said without hesitation.

“Here. So we don't have a lot of time to get along. I need to hear what I want to know first. How did you get here? How did you get here? How did you get here? How did you get here? ”

“Your Majesty. ”

I had a long town.

“You must have saved the life of your servant. ”

“Huh?"

King Johanna tilted her head.

“No, wait a minute. If you talk to me now, there's really nothing you can do. It's a waste of time."

“What if there was a solution for the dwarf? ”

“Heh.”

The princess's eyes changed.

“Yes, I'd be happy to interest you. But, Lorita, you better watch out. ”

If you had been the eyes of the Devil so far...... now you are testing your opponent. Curiosity without evil disappeared and the height of the eyes of the ruler was set from birth.

“If you don't provide me with a reasonable solution, I'll lose interest in you. That means that even the two hours you were guaranteed have been taken away. You're going back to that hellish torture chamber. ”

I tightened my head. I was prepared.

“This is the story of the man who was tortured, but the chairwoman and his guard went to the torture chamber. I didn't know who it was at first, but I did know it through a conversation with the warden. ”

“Huh? What's wrong with that? It's either the Maid of Honor or the Chief of Staff. Of course it bothers you. ”

“Even if you come by once an hour? ”

The malicious expression disappeared from the face of King Johanna.

“…… once an hour? That's too abnormal. ”

“Yes, I felt overzealous. ”

“You said there was an intruder in the pond last night. It's only been half a day. Why would the commander of the guard and his bridesmaids be so anxious? ”

This is for me to judge.

Tae-ja Rudolf took over the list. Elizabeth III, on the other hand, captured the hearts of the guards by demonstrating genius even though she was young. It was already clear in politics that the two of them would compete most intensely for the next place.

“In other words, this battle is likely to be an epidemic of the imperial succession. ”

“There are superiors who rush them...... I see. Rudolph and Elizabeth. ”

King Johanna swallowed the moan.

“Rudolf and Elizabeth are up for grabs. Depending on who wins, the owner of the palace will also be chosen. Hnng, I'm going to solve this curiosity. Then I stepped on the tail of a ridiculous snake. ”

“What if it's not the tail of a snake, Your Grace? ”

“Huh?"

King Johanna has sent a clumsy gaze. I smiled.

Don't worry. You saved my life. I will stop the future of being raped and killed by my own brothers. Even if I have to return the empire's emperor and the future absolute monarch as an enemy…….
