Dungeon Defense (WN)

We emptied the wine and poured the glass on the floor.

This long-standing tradition of the Moon Blind Army meant "irreversible choice." I couldn't put the broken glass back together and turn it into a glass. We crossed the Rubicon River. It was impossible to reverse the choice.

Yes, I was standing at an irreversible point.

My footsteps will not stop, will not rest, will continue to step on something. It didn't matter if it meant going forward or backward.

“I command the Grand Dukes. ”

“Please send down your orders, Your Majesty. ”

I stepped on a piece of glass scattered across the floor. I felt a sharp feel behind the sole of my shoes.

“There are still bands of rebels lurking in the palace. Search them all and execute them. ”

Today's banquet included only the Demon King and the Grand Duke, but the Grand Duke's family and nobles were supposed to meet tomorrow. They were currently staying here in the palace. They didn't know what Satan was doing at the banquet hall yet.

“There is no mercy. Kill any race, gender, age. Start with an old man who looks like he's going to die tomorrow and kill all the rebellious party blood from the fetus who have not seen the sunlight yet. ”

This was a war steeped in purge.

There were several reasons why the seven Mage Dukes followed me, but choosing one of them was at great profit. Other dukes who will relocate their homes today. Every piece of land that they already owned went back to the seven Dukes.

The Grand Duke no longer controls the throne of twenty-six.

From now on, only seven dukes will rule the kingdom.

“Respect.”

The Grand Dukes raise their right fist to the chest. The ducs lead the assassins out of the ballroom. Before I gave the order, I heard the screams of bloodshed across the hallway, whether the massacre was scheduled.

“Ivar. Carry out your mission as it is written. ”

“Yes, my lord. ”

I took a note from Ivar's sleeve and gave it to him. Ivar looks at the note and opens his eyes wide. Ivar looks at me. "Are you sure? 'I was asking.

“There is a wide half magic at work in this palace today. You have to fly high to carry out the mission. ”

“…… to take orders. ”

Ivar bows, breaks a long window in the banquet hall and flies up into the night sky. Now the only people left here are me, Pymon, and Daisy. Except, of course, dozens of corpses.

Quiet banquet hall.

Pymon gently folds his hands over mine.

“I was really surprised, Dantalian. What happened...? ”

“Something like that happened. Things like that.”

I make a bitter smile and glance at Daisy. I wanted to talk to Pymon alone, so he said, "Get out of here on your own." But Daisy was consistent with Morse.

“I am your father's escort. As long as Miss Ivar is gone, she can't leave until I do. ”

“If so, go to the entrance of the banquet hall and keep an eye out. ”

“Surprisingly, wasn't my place always right next to your father? ”

You are the one who made me a witness, so allow me to be by your side. Daisy was protesting so implicitly.

“ ……. ”

It's good.

I hesitated for a moment, but then I nodded. Daisy had the right to observe. It may have been my excessive greed to spend time alone with Pymon.

“I knew Barbatos would contact the Grand Dukes. ”

“How?”

“The information that I'm going to see the ducs, the information that I'm coming with you, has been leaking everywhere. It would have been considered treason enough for Barbatos. It was imperative that Barbato contact the Grand Duke. ”

Pymon was seriously focused on my story.

“You hit him early, Dantalian. ”

“Yes, it is. I had seven specially reliable Mage Dukes. Before Barbato made his move, I contacted them first. ”

Soon Barbatos will present some conspiracy to your Mage Dukes.

The conspiracy is a trick.

Our real strategy is to eliminate eight of the undeniable from the Grand Duke. And delegate to you the rule of the rest of the magic system.

I smiled.

“It's different. Just two days after I contacted him, Barbato tried to contact the Grand Dukes. From the perspective of the seven dukes, I have no choice but to trust them. ”

Seven dukes left to me, including the Serpent Duke.

They saw in the past the scene where Barbatos and I had sex. The two of us knew each other better than anyone.

Therefore, the seven Grand Dukes trusted the scenario that "Barbato and Dantalian are plotting again," rather than the scenario that "Barbato is plotting alone to outwit the Demon King Dantalian."

“The ducs still firmly believe that tonight's Purge was forged by Barbato and me. ”

“Dantalian... Amazing. ”

Pymon smiles brightly.

She's deep into me. The soft body of Pymon warmly wrapped me up. Pymon became a pose to put his chin on my shoulder and mine on Pymon's shoulder.

It was cozy.

There have been a lot of women who have hugged me so far. Barbato, Laura, Citri, Ivar. But it was the warmest I ever held with Pymon. Pymon was a woman like the sun. I liked the way she felt.

“But it won't be long before the ducs notice. That's the only thing I'm worried about. ”

Pymon whispered right into my ear. It was as if the voice itself was a silent music. Like an unobstructed cello beating at a constant rate.

“Even then, the ducs couldn't be more confident that they would choose Dantalian over Barbato... Ah. Of course, it's not that I don't trust Dantalians. You'll take care of everything, Hehe. ”

“You have nothing to worry about, Pymon. ”

I grabbed the dagger from my waist.

“It's all true. ”

“Yes?”

Pymon tilted his head.

I grabbed the hilt and shoved it through Pymon's neck.

Red blood splattered into the air.

Immediately, Pymon hurls out a scream. At the same time, I felt the strength of Pymon's hand wrapped around me. One finger at a time. All ten fingers feel vivid from the spine. With a trembling voice, Pymon groans faintly.

“However, Talian...? ”

I swinged my dagger and stuck it in Pymon's back. The blade digs deep into Pymon's body. Hiccup, and Pymon sighs painfully again. The blood gushed from her veins drenched my gloves.

It was no ordinary dagger. There is deadly poison.

I once again shoved a blade through Pymon's back neck. Barely, Pymon, who was really barely standing, loses his strength and collapses.

I supported her collapse with my left arm. Pymon falls to the ground very slowly. She looks up at me with her broken-eyed eyes, holding me in my left arm.

“Ugh… ugh… ugh… ”

Pymon pounces as if to say something. Her words are blocked by the relentless blood spurting from her neck, making no comment. It was just to spit out the bubbles without a hitch.

“Slavery will be abolished entirely. No horse, no human, no exceptions. Your life was what Barbato demanded in return for agreeing to abolish slavery. ”

“(* Sobbing *) ”

“I value that one more than the liberation of all men, Pymon. You're already dead. ”

I looked down at Pymon.

“You shouldn't have said that earlier. Last chance, Pymon. Last chance. No turning back now. ”

“Dantael, Lian... (* Sobbing *)... However, Talian…. ”

“So I'll take your place. Just like we promised that night. Forever.”

Pymon slowly raises his right arm.

She put her palm to my cheek. Pymon's bloodied palm is hotter than usual. Her hands tremble constantly.

“Love, do.... ”

“ ……. ”

“I love you... don't cry... Dantalian... ”

And Pymon's hand falls below the threshold.

As I drew a long red trail of blood on my cheek, I fell indefinitely.

Everything stopped.

The weight that I felt in my arms, the vibration, the touch, everything was different. What remained there was no longer Pymon, but a kind of tremor she left behind. The window, and I glanced at him a little, but there was no response.

“ ……. ”

I kissed Pymon.

I smelled the scent of blood. I continued the kiss no matter what. It was red and warm.

How long has it been?

“Your Grace.”

I hear Ivar's voice. Turning around, Ivar steps over from the window and approaches me. Ivar winces at me. My footsteps stopped.

I said dumbass.

“Report.”

“…… I delivered it to the Demon King Barbato. Case closed. Barbatos immediately returned the favor of raising an army to take over the rebel dukes' territory. ”

The note I gave Ivar said to contact Barbatos. There was a reason Ivar was surprised not to know the details of the incident. Ivar had no idea I was conspiring with Barbatos.

Barbato gave false orders to the Grand Duke, "Arrest Dantalian and Pymon."

I gave the seven Dukes a completely different kind of closure.

All of them were scripts that Barbato and I planned to lead.

“Well done, Daisy. ”

“…… Yes, Father. ”

“Catch any assassins roaming the halls and bring them here. ”

Daisy leaves the ballroom and returns with the assassin dressed as a servant in less than three minutes. As I huff and puff, Daisy scowls at the assassin without hesitation. The assassin falls without screaming.

I held my dagger in the assassin's hand.

Then I took off the gloves I had been using and burned them.

“Daisy. You've taken a moment to make sure there are no assassins nearby on my orders. Meanwhile, an assassin broke in and attacked me. Pymon covered me like that, and instead, he was moulded. Do you understand?”

“…… Yes. ”

“It was the assassins who killed Pymon and the other dukes who hired the assassins. ”

That was what would officially come out.

The Mountain Demon Kings will be furious. He must have been angry with the traitors. Some of the Demon King may doubt that I did this, but the question is, who leads the opinion of the mountain tribes?

Once Pymon is gone, the only person who can lead the mountain tribes is Citri. Citri trusted me more than anyone. I will put an end to my doubts at once. Even if I had some doubts, it was only then that I cheated Citri.

Since all the High Priestesses of the traitors will be dead and all their relatives will be dead within the night, all the truthful third parties will be buried in the ground.

My power remains intact.

Carry the support of Barbato, the support of Citri, the support of Marvas on your back, and remain unchanged. Factions' balance remains stable, with the exception of the fact that Pymon is dead.

Nothing has changed.

“Let's go.”

I hold Pymon in my arms.

“To the Imperial Palace. ”
