Dungeon Defense (WN)

Dantalian is seriously injured.

As soon as she heard that, Elizabeth quickly looked around the throne. The temple priests who arrived late were wandering among the injured, and those with light or no injuries were still standing up to applaud them.

Corner seat, one man leaning against a tree.

At first glance, the condition was severe. Blood rushes to my abdomen. Since the treatment of ordinary priests was the Demon King acting as a poison, the priests couldn't do it, and left the work to only a few healing wizards.

The man's eyes narrowed. His eyes met Elizabeth's gaze. The man, Dantalian, has been looking at this side from the beginning.

- Everything was going slow.

Even the clapping slows down. Elizabeth is mistaken, her whole body seems to be numb.

‘…… Was it planned from the beginning? ’

‘As you said. ’

She sounds like Dantalian's answer is clear. Not a speculation. Dantalian's face distorts with pain, but his black eyes glow brightly. It was giving me something more convincing than words.

‘There are quite a few people who have seen you and me leave the ballroom. ’

‘Only the Mainlander returned to the scene of the accident, and you were found severely injured. ’

‘The script is ready to be dubious. ’

People clap their hands. Bark, bark, and clap heavily like a bell. Everything was slow except for Dantalian and her.

‘You would have thought, There was an accident without him. If we keep going, we may even be suspected of murder. ’

‘Ah. I needed to join the scene a little sooner to show off my good looks. Even if a suspicious person appears, it is hard to blame me for leading the rescue. ’

‘Indeed, you would have led a wonderful rescue. ’

That's why Elizabeth arrived more quickly than Dantalian.

In this situation, suspicion was always focused on those who arrived late. Someone rushed in to help people as soon as the incident broke out, but why did you arrive so late? Maybe he had other intentions.

Through her survival, Dantalian's intentions were frustrated.

By participating in the structure much more aggressively than Dantalian, the cause was obtained.

The story would have ended here.

‘I was sure you would succeed. ’

If only Dantalian hadn't been found injured.

‘There was terrorism aimed at the saint. In addition, I was beaten. It's not just an assassin. There is someone behind the terrorist…… people will think so. ’

‘And doubts are focused on me. ’

You left the ballroom with Dantalian. On its own, it's already on the dragon ship.

Moreover, Elizabeth has mastered the structure a little too well. Everyone was baffled by a sudden accident, and only Elizabeth responded surprisingly calmly and calmly. People will ask themselves, is it really possible to be so cold?

You're expecting things to happen.

‘You have plenty of motive. There's a personal vendetta in the Bruno Plain. First of all, just moments ago, you were devastated by a diplomatic war between the Holy Girl and me. ’

‘He tried to assassinate two people in retaliation for diplomacy. ’

Elizabeth chiseled her teeth.

‘Motivation is too obvious. I don't know if I'm the culprit. ’

‘But doubt does not go away. Isn't that right?’

‘ ……. ’

People will think.It's too much of an impossibility for Elizabeth to call herself a darkness. But there is a possibility. People's doubts don't go away as long as there's a chance…….

‘Your reputation on the diplomatic stage is not very good. No, the Habsburg family itself does not earn much credit. because it's tied up with a lot of bad rumors. Besides, you killed your second brother with your own hands. ’

It's hard to trust your personality even when you're second best. That's the diplomatic reputation of President Elizabeth.

"There is no guarantee that whoever killed my brother will not cause terrorism. I'll hold on to your doubts and press you. ’

‘ ……. ’

The crowd gathers. They applaud Elizabeth with a smile, and ask her to shake hands. I couldn't see Dantalian anymore because I was hidden by the crowd.

What happens tomorrow? If you think calmly and calmly, you will have no choice but to suspect Elizabeth. It is not praise and kindness that is poured out upon Elizabeth at that time, but doubt and contempt.

‘However.'

Elizabeth thought, shaking hands with the people.

‘By the way, he stabbed himself in the stomach to the point where his intestines would flow out. ’

After Elizabeth left, the Dantalian was left alone in the garden. There, Dantalian drew his sword and killed himself.

It wasn't a single stab wound or two. For more than five times, the man pierced his stomach with his knife. Where there's no one. There's no one around. I put down my blade silently, enduring the pain and groaning.

Imagining that, Elizabeth calms down.

What kind of face did you hurt yourself with?

What kind of life did you live that made it possible?

‘Ah, the opposite. ’

Elizabeth realizes again.

‘Is it abbreviated because it can be done like that. ’

It was getting late.

The Republican delegation was postponed indefinitely.

* * *

Elizabeth's eyes look this way. There is little vision from the excessive pain. However, for some reason, Elizabeth shined relatively clearly. It's a curious thing.

That's a shame, Elizabeth. You seem to have noticed my technique and personality, but unfortunately, only one step was missing.

I'm not stupid enough to put you in a straight fight. I'm the one who can't even handle Enrieta from the front. You're three times scarier than Enrieta. Running away is tricky.

So I turned the whole plate upside down. The saint almost died. The meeting is adjourned. There has been no gathering of some humankind and beasts under the name of Republicism. At least it was postponed later....

So far, Elizabeth, you've noticed. But I didn't think I'd hurt myself.

Do you understand now? Weaknesses aren't just runaways. If there's anywhere left to run, you haven't fallen into hell yet. A man who thinks he stands at the edge of a cliff. There is nothing but a glimmer. That is the abbreviation…….

It is not possible to deal with monsters like you without sacrifice. You have to sacrifice at least one arm or leg lightly. If I can hit it with a few punctures, it's more like a transverse jaw.

Is this the second time I've harmed myself?

I used anesthetic ointment when threatening gamigin. I couldn't this time. There were wizards everywhere who specialized in medicine. The anesthetic was potentially rich for them to recognize.

They will be questioned as to why the assailant was drugged. I had to stab myself without anesthesia....

At first, I thought we should use Ivar's puppet. The doll returns to the ballroom while I deal with Elizabeth. It's where they get caught in the explosion. This leaves Elizabeth alone at the ball. The charges are getting thicker.

The problem was that the ballroom guard was heavier than I thought.

Pymon was clearly devoted to the meeting. I couldn't sneak the doll in because the knights and wizards were waiting in triplicate. In the end, there was no other way to hurt myself.

It was a hell of a thing. If I didn't have the Demon King's ability to regenerate, I'd be dead. Honestly, I want to lose my mind right now.

But not yet. A little more people need to get together... Damn, my eyes are getting numb. I don't see Elizabeth anymore. I can't feel the pain because the pain is so severe.

“Your Excellency! Are you okay?”

Finally.

I felt a sudden rush of noise around me. I was one of the most powerful men in the Habsburg Empire. It was only fitting that the protesters came and made a fuss.

“Wizard, what is your condition? ”

“I'm doing my best...... but the wound is poisoned. The President is highly regenerative, but the poison is blocking it. ”

The wizard said calmly. I hear people whistling. “Poison.” “Sinister technique.” Followed by the destruction of the building to the point of its collapse, it was even close to an assassination. I feel like I've been punched.

“This poison completely prevents regeneration. It wouldn't be much use to us. The assassin must have wanted you from the beginning. ”

“This is serious. I heard the saint is in serious condition. If we keep going.... ”

You're making too much noise. Don't worry. I've adjusted the poison only to the point of death. Jeremy did all the hard work, not me... but he probably won't die.

“You are a bridge between man and the devil. Both factions could be running wild... Wizard! ”

“We're doing our best. ”

Not even this wizard. I would have dedicated my treatment. Humans and the Horsemen had quite different treatments. The Wizard must want to die because he's in charge of the Demon King's unfamiliar treatment. If I die, I'll actually be executed, old man.

Is there a proper group of people? This is your last chance to act.

“Ugh… ugh…. ”

“Mr. President! Are you awake, Mr. President?" ”

Don't shout so loud! My head is ringing! Haven't you learned to be quiet when dealing with patients? There are too many idiots in the world. The problem is, it's time to use that idiot now.

I opened my mouth.

“…… ”

The pain was too much for me. The condition was worse than I thought. I couldn't get a good voice. I focused my mind on my lips and tongue. It was like manually activating the body that had been moving automatically until now.

“Lady...... is she...? ”

“ ……! The Holy Mother is safe! She is wounded, but not in trouble! ”

Whoever it was answered me urgently. It was a slightly slower speech. It was already a big deal that the saint was hurt. Maybe I was exaggerating to reassure myself.

I smiled without knowing because I was stupid.

“Well... I'm glad.... ”

That's it.

I let go of the spirit that I was trying so hard to keep. The consciousness was rapidly escaping. I tried to endure the pain while bluffing, but it was also difficult. I screamed as if I had mistaken it for something else.

“Go, Mr. President! No, you need to wake up! ”

“Who did this?" Tell me who did this! ”

“My Lady Dantalian! ”

Idiots. Didn't I tell you not to die?

You can testify quietly that I was worried about the comfort of the holy woman while I was wandering around…… That is your duty. Prove my innocence. Don't forget to act...

And I blacked out.

Truly, it's a job even the Demon King can't do.
