"Hehehe."

Laughter flowed from Iris' mouth.

a convoluted laugh, as if a screw was missing somewhere.

reading the madness in her eyes

The heavy rain breathed out a deep look.

There is no more fear of Fidelio in her eyes.

but

Was it right?"

I have too many things to think about. He knows.

This is not the best. Rather frightened, haunted by nightmares

That it might be better to live on.

From this fear... If I can get away, I can sell my soul to the devil.

Shivering, she recalled her desperately desperate voice.

Close your eyes.

It was her choice, her wish.

"The power of dependence can erase your memory."

After thinking for a while, Kangwoo shook his head.

'Dangerous.'

She is blessed with a high elf powerful enough to recognize herself in the power of concealment.

It's too risky to sign a subordinate contract with her here.

"No more... You're not afraid of Fidelio, are you?"

"Yes!"

Iris answered brightly.

Her bright smile in blood was somewhat eerie.

'And yet.'

This completely freed her from the shadow of Fidelio. 'This can't be without aftereffects.

At least it's better than suffering from fear and nightmares.

"Kangwoo, where should I cut it out first?"

Iris grinned at him with a dangerous look.

The heavy rain struck its tongue lightly. "Is this really better?"

It is true that she intended this condition, but in just a few days she "did not expect to be destroyed."

"That's how much I was afraid of Fidelio.’

On top of that, it would have been overlapped that Iris's nature was basically very gentle and kind.

Just as she had a strong repulsion that stood out as much as she suppressed, her nature and pure flesh, which had been suppressed in fear, burned uncontrollably and violently.

'I didn't think it would be this bad."

I regretted not pushing her too hard. 'You'll get better.’

a matter of no turning back in time

The good news is that Iris is following him steadily.

A situation where she can be controlled to some extent, 'Now slowly.'

It's time to quit.

It's already broken to the point of being late, but it's better than going from here. "No, I'm quitting now."

..what?"

Iris' eyes opened. She asked, alternating between Fidelio and Rain, who were unconscious.

'Well, what if I'm quitting?' 'I'm saying you can stop.'"

"Ah."

Her body trembled thin. Iris patted the dagger in his hand as if he was disappointed.

Kangwoo smiled and continued. "It's not all about revenge, is it? Now we need to take back what was taken away one by one."

"The one you took?"

Iris opened her eyes round. "Hwang Kwon, and the stigma of being a bad girl. It's all about Fidelio, isn't it?"

"That's..."

Iris' eyes filled me with conflict for a moment.

The imperial power was taken away. Let's say that.

Fidelio is not the only one to have a bad reputation as a "vicious woman."

He is more responsible for relieving stress from his subordinates.

"Iris."

Rain patted Iris' cheek in conflict.

Ask in a quiet voice. 'Everything, Fidelio did it, didn't he?' 'Oh, yeah! Yeah, yeah! It's all because of that piece of junkie!"

Iris nodded urgently and said vigorously.

Rain smiled and nodded his head.

"Yes, we should get rid of the false accusations and get ready to become a empress."

"... empress."

Iris looked at Kang Woo with a blank look at the unexpected remark.

Her father, Emperor Leopold von Arnan, is getting worse day by day.

In fact, they are forced to save what they are supposed to die by magic.

As Kang-woo said, it was true that it was not too long before she became a " empress."

'I'm... the empress?'

My heart throbbed. I couldn't breathe well, as the heavy burden weighed on me.

"That's too much. Kangwoo knows how my people talk about me."

In fact, it was possible to become a woman no matter what the people of the empire said.

The traditions of the imperial family are in her hands.

However, what Kang Woo said was "disgraceful false accusation."

It's almost impossible to take something off.

Not only is she not perfect, but she also knew how hard it was to change the perception that was once established. "Leave it to me."

Kangwoo smiled. I had thought about how to reverse her image as a villain.

He turned his head and looked at Fidelio.

He was bleeding all over his body, unconscious and faint.

"Well, Mr. Rain."

Iris grabbed the dagger and shined his eyes softly.

"So, shall we wrap this up?"

She gazed at Fidelio, who fainted in a desperate way.

Compared to the beginning, when he couldn't even look into his eyes, it was a great development.

Kangwoo looked at her with complicated eyes, while slowly shaking his head.

"No."

"If not..."

"I'm not going to kill Fidelio."

"What? Lord, I'm not going to kill you?!"

Iris looked at the rain with a surprised look.

I can't believe you didn't kill Fidelio.

That was ridiculous.

"Oh, no! I have to kill the garbage man myself!"

Iris said with a fierce display of his teeth.

He held the dagger in his hand threateningly.

Despite her insanity, the rainfall shook its head firmly.

'Iris.' 'Laugh.'

"I said I wouldn't kill him."

"Ha, but."

Iris looked at the rain with his eyes full of tears.

Fidelio was a terrible enemy to himself.

No, not only himself, but also the villain who took the empire in his hand and sucked the blood of countless people.

His end is not death.

"Pierce, Fidelio has to die," Iris said cautiously.

You want me to change my mind now?

The rain smiled and asked. "Really? Why do you think you should die?"

"That's it..."

Is it necessary to say that?

Iris glared at Fidelio with a look of madness.

"That's the only thing that would go with that kind of crap."

No matter how hard I think about it, Fidelio was not worth living.

Kang-woo burst into laughter at her remark, which had been so bold that he could not recognize it for a few days.

It was a bright smile. "You really think that's the only thing that makes sense?"

"...yeah?"

"If you really want revenge on Fidelio, you shouldn't end it like that."

"I don't... I don't know what you mean." The rainfall tilted its head toward her.

He stroked his head and spoke in the same way as a teacher teaching a child.

"That's the end of it, isn't it?"

No matter how painful it is, no matter how miserable it is.

If you die, that's it.

It is no longer painful, painful, or sad.

"Come on, think about when you were beaten by Fidelio."

Every day together.

"Didn't you think it was better to die?"

"Ah."

Iris' eyes grew bigger. Yes, Kangwoo was right. She found her death in a terrible strain of despair.

I thought death was the only salvation.

Why would you kill him?"

The heavy rain smiled broadly. Death is nothing. "It's more painful to be alive."

Life is the only pain. A cold electricity spread through Iris's spine. 'Oh, this person.

He's a really scary person.

No.

Is he a human being?

I don't care.

It doesn't matter whether he's a human or a monster or a devil.

The important thing is that he saved himself and led him.

He didn't protect himself like Reynald or Kim Si-hoon.

I didn't give you a place to hide.

He pushed his back so that he could stand up for himself. "Yes. I'll follow what you say." Iris nodded.

I'm going to rain with a dreamy look on my eyes.

looking at

"Yes, I'll be a little busy from now on."We had to get rid of Fidelio's lines and build up the Irish line.

They had to rebuild their ruined empire.

'Then I'll focus on Lucifer."

Under the current circumstances, it was highly likely that people would not be as scared as they expected the advent of evil spirits.

I mean, every single day has nothing to do with the resurrection of evil spirits or the resurrection of the devil.

go

"Lose is the only way to be scared."

And the moment the fear nears despair.

The whole continent will face an apocalypse.

"If you do well, I'll give you a nice seat with Si-hoon, so work hard."

Rain patted Iris on the shoulder and said,

There will be no reward as sweet as the time she spent with Kim Si-hoon at first sight.

'I'm a little sorry for my wife.

Though my heart gets heavy when I think of Layla, I didn't have the same taste as Kim Si-hoon to perfectly coax Iris.

Iris gave a short exclamation.

"Yes, I'll do my best."

She grinned at the hem of the rain.

The smile, it felt somewhat awkward.

a room full of strong blood

Fidelio, who had passed out, came to consciousness.

Oh, uh."

There was an unpleasant groan that seemed to break through the mouth full of wrinkles.

"Huck! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

He vented his breath roughly.

The lingering pain made his whole body tremble.

"Mi, you're crazy.’

a young man with sharp eyes

Linda.

I can't think of anything but crazy. 'Iris or him.'

Both are out of their minds. No, the man named Oh Kang-woo has already gone beyond the level of insanity.

'Devil, gulp. Fidelio swallowed a bloody saliva.

The sound of my teeth bumping into each other teeth echoed.

Tears flowed down. It feels like swimming in an endless nightmare.

'I have to run away."

You must escape from the devil's hands. But how? "Ah, ah."

Clattering. Clattering. The chains that restrained him moved noisily.

Fidelio wobbles desperately.

It was.

"Ah, ah, ah."

He twisted his whole body to get out of the hands of the devil and out of the hands of the mad monster.

The chain covered my skin. The wound opened and blood flowed out.

A terrible pain spreads through the body. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

But rather than suffering like that, fear of the devil was greater.

Fidelio roared and fluttered like a fit.

It was then.

with a click

"Huh?"

The blood-soaked chain loosened a little.

Fidel opened his eyes.

As I moved from side to side, I felt my body slowly escape from the chain. 'D, finally!' The opportunity has come.

Fidelio moved his body more violently and poured blood from the wound.

The hope that he could escape rather than the pain of tearing his skin and revealing flesh was rather filled with joy.

'I have to run away."

before his return

before the devil returns

As soon as possible.

We have to run away!

Fidelio's body came out of the chair.
