00347 The Man Who Lives in the Heart of the Empire

Gamekin made a mistake.

If I had the slightest bit of space in the corner of my head, I wouldn't have gone after Pymon.

If he judged them coldly, he would have assaulted the servants. To stop the maid, Pymon would have to move heavily, and as a result, Pymon would still be exposed to the attack.

Pymon, on the other hand, decided to go there. Approaching Dantalian and provoking his opponent was a ploy to get the maids completely out of his sight.

The problem is that the taunt worked too well.

Pymon thinks the opposing team won't be able to attack if they stay close to Dantalian. She knew she loved Dantalian. I was careless about who in the world would risk their love and who would wield violence without hesitation.

“Ah…! ”

It was unclear who made the voice.

Whether it was Gamicin's voice right after the magic spilled, Pymon's voice surprised that he really attacked - or Dantalian's voice wrapped around Python and held out his hand.

The Shadow of Dantalian protrudes from the Shadow as the owner is in danger.

The Great Swords take the blades of the wind and safely counteract them. But a lump. An unstoppable wind blows through the Great Swords.

Blood splashes from Dantalian's forearms.

“Dantalian! Are you okay!? ”

Pymon shouts. Dantalian groans a little, then smiles bitterly.

“That's okay. Well, I guess I'm used to it now. My bad luck is strong too. ”

“What are you talking about...... There's blood everywhere! ”

“It doesn't even get stuck on the axis of the wound. ”

Dantalian pulls the potion out of his cloak. He pulls the cork plug out of the potion with his teeth, and then spills the liquid into the wounded left plate randomly.

That made Pymon absurd.

“Give it to me! ”

Pymon has taken the potion. You tore your duvet and gave it enough potions. I was going to use a duvet piece as a replacement for the bandage. Pymon encircles Dantalian's left arm with a piece of cloth.

“Oh my God, the man you are.... ”

“What's the big deal? It's really nothing, isn't it? ”

“Keep your mouth shut! ”

Pymon and Dantalian grumble.

“ ……. ”

Meanwhile, Gamigine stands still. As soon as I saw the blood splatter on Dantalian's forearm, she froze. Soon after the bandage is finished, Pymon turns his head and looks at the razor sharp eyes.

“Are you insane!? ”

“I was... going to... ”

“Kill the caretakers at will! And Dantalian!”

“Really... I didn't mean to... ”

Pymon strides toward Gamigini. She slaps Gamigine on the cheek.

“Without the Knights of Death, Dantalian might be dead. ”

“No, it was no-magic. It's that strong... ”

“You almost killed him! ”

Gamigine flinches.

“That's far enough. ”

Dantalian approaches from behind and opens the gap between the two women. Pymon to the right, Gamygin to the left. As the bandaged arm pushes him away, Gamigin freezes even more.

“…… Dantalian, however. ”

“That's as far as I was concerned. ”

Pymon shuts his mouth.

“I'll take care of this case. ”

* * *

What we did in Polytunia was a mess to come back to. The next morning. I was about to have a ridiculous laugh.

Pymon looks at me with a disgruntled face. I was angry, and my eyebrows were twitching. You want to punish yourself for this. I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have.

“Pymon. You honor the ladies. ”

“The complaint is……. ”

I shaken my head resolutely.

“There are no complaints. You are outraged as a witness. ”

It's only been a few months since the inauguration ceremony was held. At that point, the man who just stepped on the Duke gets on the fence? I'm not joking. The entire empire will be humiliated.

Not only that, Pymon represents the mountain tribe and Gamygyn represents the uncharted. When two people face each other in Imperial court, it already surpasses the level of one-on-one combat. They'll storm until either faction is finished.

“The honor of gamigin is not that of a spiked man. It's an empire honor.”

“Fame is better than nothing. ”

Pymon looks at me as if he won't back down.

“Can you fix a mistake? That's the low power of the country. Failure to correct wrongs will only make the empire worse. ”

“Oops. Didn't I tell you? ”

I gently stroked Pymon's shoulder.

“I'll take care of this case. Don't worry.”

“…… ugh. ”

Pymon sighs a little.

She takes a step back without answering separately. After silencing the maidens who are still sitting in the hallway and raising them up, Pymon leaves the Imperial Palace.

I smiled bitterly.

This is it. What a commotion from this morning.

I was not surprised when magic flew in. I'm used to it as soon as I get used to it. Instead of surprising, the feeling of 'or not.'

At this point, the way to calm the gummy bears was simple. I could have been hurt a little bit.

I ordered the Knights of Death to miss a breeze on purpose. Perhaps Gamigine was traumatized by my knife to the abdomen at the ballroom. When I bled, I almost instinctively paralyzed myself.

“ ……. ”

He was still staring blankly at my left arm.

By the way, Pymon has shown me some worthless consideration. It was better not to hide bandages, but to expose the wounds. That way he'll feel more psychologically uneasy. I really didn't want to interfere.

I can't help it. Without teeth, it's gum. Let's do a little acting.

“Ugh... ”

I grab my forearm as if it had suddenly hurt. I didn't forget the slightly bent details of the waist. Then he quickly regained his senses.

“Dantalian!”

Gamigine rushed me up. What can I say? It was fun to react as I intended. She desperately made excuses not to hate me.

“I'm sorry... I made a mistake... But I didn't mean to...!" ”

“Of course I know. ”

I smiled. It was a hard smile to endure the pain.

“You couldn't have deliberately attacked me. ”

“Yes, because of that whore. He avoided uselessly.... ”

“But I was disappointed. ”

Gamigine frowns and stops.

“Huh?"

It was like a broken doll.

I wiped the laughter from my mouth.

“I was right next to Pymon. If I had missed, I would have been hit. Gamigan, you have used magic without hesitation in situations where I may be right. ”

“I was aiming for Pymon.... ”

“One at a time. Are you confident you have a chance of missing even a hundredth? ”

You stare coldly at the golden eyes of Gamigine.

After going out for a long time, I found out one thing. Gamigine could hardly stand the cold gaze I gave her. She'd be all white in her head by now.

You cannot even think how to answer it. I simply blocked her words, but I used her silence as something positive.

“I see. You attacked me in case I got hurt……. ”

Gamigine grabbed the corner of my clothes with both hands. She kneels slowly, relaxed from her knees.

“Oh... it's you. Dantalian. Trust me... It's really not... ”

“I even hurt myself to apologize to you. ”

Gamigine is pale.

“In the end, it's more important for you to release your anger than it is for my safety. Your feelings are more important than mine. Garmigin, please let me know. How much more do I have to hurt to satisfy your feelings? ”

“No, Dantalian. It's really not... ”

I murmured depressingly.

“All I'm saying is that this is not an excuse for me. I don't know where you were before, wise man. ”

“All of a sudden I'm angry because I thought you had Pymon first! ”

Gamekin opens his fluttering lips. He seemed to want to make excuses somehow.

“The maids insulted me before! So, Pymon intervened...... I didn't know if you were back, but Pymon said he knew...... ”

A situation where my boyfriend is clearly wrong.

Here, the way to push the opponent further is simple. Pretending to give a thorough excuse, the opponent only brings out what is wrong with him.

However, we should not continue to point out the same mistakes. Gives the opponent time to regain his senses. We have to make it look like a one-to-one punch to uncover new mistakes. Then the opponent loses his time to think and only has an excuse.

For example.

“Gaemigan. How did you know I was back? ”

“Huh…? ”

“Did you plant a spy in the imperial palace? You want to keep an eye on me? ”

Gamigine's face collapses.

Bingo.

“Tell me honestly. Did you really plant someone watching me? Because you don't trust me? If I'm hiding something from you, don't you think there's a good reason for everything? ”

“Oh, no. It's not like that. Dantalian, it's not like that, just in case.... ”

“You said you doubted me! ”

I shed tears, overwhelmed by emotion.

It doesn't have to be real to shed tears. No, all emotions are real, to be exact. There's just a difference between real and false motivations for emotion. I can shed tears in 5 seconds when I'm around.

“Ah……. ”

As tears flow, Gamigine completely stops thinking.

A man's tears are supposed to save for the moment in his spleen. Until now, I have never shed a tear in front of a gargoyle. In other words, Gamekin was the first person to see my tears.

“Ah, ah... ”

“How can you doubt me? Garmigin, what have I done to you? I gave you everything I could…… the land of Moravia, the land of Schlesien…… a duchess, the most prestigious seat, all of it. Yet you……. ”

When you reveal what you have done to your lover, you should describe it as accurately as possible.

It is not a land, it is a land of Moravia. It is not a title, it is a duchess. The less abstract the wound, the sharper the wound. It is a fundamental principle, except for the small gifts, that only the biggest gifts are mentioned neatly.

“And yet you don't even wait a day for me! ”

“No, Dantalian... Please... ”

“I have made every effort and commitment to you, but coming back in return is suspicion and espionage. That's your love. It's love that hurts without even giving permission for a day... …. ”

I got down on my knees. I dug my face into Gamigine's face. My tears poured out and moved to Gamigini's cheek.

“Gambit, please answer... … Gambit. Please let me trust you…… it hurts so much that I want to trust you…… It hurts so much, spicy……. ”

And...

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry... Dantalian, I was wrong... I'm sorry... ”

Gamigine bursts into tears.

“I'm sorry I doubted you... I had no idea... I'm sorry... ”

Tears came over her and my face.

Now Gamigine had completely lost her mind and had been forgiven only by her emotions. believing it was the right attitude. Forgetting the scar I'd given her, forgetting that I was the one who had planted the suspicion and anxiety in the first place, and feeling completely guilty.

I can't help it.

Gamekin had no relationship experience. I had no strategic vision at all about the injuries and how to use the gifts I gave them. She did not know that love is war.

“Really? Is it okay if I trust you again...? ”

“Really... I'm sorry, I'm sorry.... ”

I'm really sorry about this, Gammy. First love is supposed to be miserable. However, the degree of misery varies depending on who gets it.

Being caught by a stupid guy is pretty bad, and being caught by an irresponsible guy is pretty bad. As every man is either stupid or irresponsible, there is very little chance that his first love will be miserable.

“Then... do me a small favor. Then I can truly forgive you……. ”

But the worst part is getting caught by a man who uses his lover.

Blame the sky.
