■Night 202: Crown of Pain
So you visited us first, then?
King of the Sludge (Ooze): Cure The Bane greeted the Assholes deep within the territory, under the aerial garden.
A few days have passed since the Achilles sent down the Him .
After putting the Lord under control, Ashlee temporarily unravelled the boundary of the sanctuary's storm, and went home with the help of the true knights' maidens.
Temporarily, it was a necessary measure from the safety point of view, and because the snowstorm created by the storm barrier serves as a reflector to deliver light inside the canyon.
"I promised you." Take away the crown of pain. "
"About that... something strange happened." You can tell at a glance, can't you? "
Cure the Bain stood in front of Ashlee.
Indeed, "Ashlee nodded.
It was bleached.
A golden crown was completely inserted in the head of Cure The Bane, reminiscent of a penitentiary device.
Can you explain what I mean to you?
"Probably, but... it's a change due to the change of the owner of the painful crown."
Are you saying that the re-adaptation (re-personalization) of Focus has been carried out?
Ashlee's tongue curled up as if it was a cure.
Dante did not name the king of the sludge.
He is clearly familiar with Focus.
"Yes," she continued, nodding.
"And the new master,"
You're a duke, my friend.
It was a wonderful insight.
No race is foolish enough to serve as king.
Ashlee renews her thoughts.
"So... can you remove this?"
"No... the conclusion is that it is difficult in the present situation."
"Let's talk more about it."
Ashlee nodded and talked about what had happened in the Sanctuary of the Dragon.
It was about Smaugard, and then the fight against The Lord , and the chains that had become bleached.
"In other words... you say that I am in the same state that the dragon princess was held captive?"
"Thank you for speaking so quickly, Cureza."
So our new lord is you, then?
Suddenly, at that moment, the tone of Cure Thebain's words fell on the earth.
A voice reminiscent of a cold blade of ice.
However, Ashlee immediately denied it.
Don't panic, stare straight into the eyes of one of the sludge kings.
“No, I'm not treating you like a slave.”
"But the crown cannot be removed. No matter what you think, isn't that what this is all about?"
"I'll find out how to take it off." At the very least, I try to find a way to do it whenever I can. This is Urdu... I swore an oath to the Dragon Princess. Of course, I'll swear to you here and now. "
Mmm, Cureza roared.
A short silence falls between the two of them.
“But that's it”
"I can't believe it, my friend."
"I don't mean that I don't believe in you as a knight." But what about the ruler? Let's be honest, Ashley Dow. "
Isn't it convenient to have a convenient dirty player like us?
"Once upon a time, Smaugard pushed us into that role. From what I've just heard, it seems that at some point that mind was devoured by the [Emperor]... but our relationship began a long time ago. It may have been the ideal king for the dragon princess, but it also meant that he was a ruthless ruler.”
…………
“After all, it was Smaugard before he changed his mind that gave us the crown of pain and dirty work. I've given them as a sacrifice."
The frequency is different.
"And now you have inherited the mechanism." Conveniently, the crown of pain belonged to your lord thanks to the smaugard swallowed by the [lord]. And this has now become something that cannot be removed. "
The King of Sludge (Ooze) turned his neck and pointed to the crown of bleached pain
It looks down on Ashlee.
I can't read it from the expression on the face that doesn't stop the human archetype, but it definitely shows distrust.
"You think it's convenient?" When we are dissatisfied with the treatment from your lordship and turn the defiant flag over, don't you think that you can use it to wipe out our intellect, erase our culture, and let the idiot fall into existence? "
Ashlee replied with a smile as she heard Cureza with her arms folded.
"Something's wrong."
"That's impossible." My friend: "Cure the Bain"
It was now the turn of the Sludge King to laugh.
Sweet, ashleigh, dowdy and dessert.
"I can only say that it's sweet. That's what people always say when they say something like that, only in the beginning, just in the mouth. But the moment I actually became a ruler, I changed. Know the reality of the ruler, the politician, the king. We are the descendants of a species that has been subjected to such oppression for thousands of years, aren't we? Do you really think that's the case when you look down on me?"
A light idealism is something else to do.
Cure the Bane, who told him to spit, but Ashlee laughed and showed him again.
Cureza, I'm sorry to hear that, but that's all I'm worried about.
"What? What are you laughing at, Ashley Dow?" Don't tell me you really think we're not going to turn the flag on ourselves. We, the people of the sludge, will accept the injustice we've been doing? "
Unlike the King of Sludge, Ashlee shook her head and showed her.
"No, Cureza, the other way around." If I don't like my rule, you will soon break the truce and turn over the flag of rebellion... and I recognize you as a Kitin, a knight who hasn't forgotten that. "
Huh?
Instead, Cure the Bain twisted his neck and narrowed his eyes.
Eyelids that are reminiscent of the transient membrane of the eel narrow, conveying distrust.
"So... what are you going to do?"
"I won't use that crown."
"When it's sweet,"
"But I will never forgive you at that time." Destroy you and your empire with all my might. The last one, even if he is an infant, without forgiveness. "
The king of sludge opened his eyes in surprise at the cold ashlee.
Then he laughed out loud.
It's still pleasant and painful.
“Do you like it?”
"Oh, that's quite a joke. No, really, it's the biggest laugh of the last hundred years, Ashley Dow."
"I'm glad you liked it."
If my empire is serious, will you choose the means?
"It's the same for me."
Looking at the literally, the swordswallowing was a remarkable conversation, but there was a strange intimacy between the two of them that could only be fostered by those who would fight each other for their lives if it were to happen.
"I mean, you really don't intend to use this painful crown?"
"Oh, not at all."
Well then, as a sign of friendship, I would like you to present the beautiful princess one by one to the moon.
"Of course I can't do that."
"Otherwise, I will see no intention to keep my promise and turn the flag."
What if I told you?
As if to enjoy Chez Servis' premature pointing, Cureza said quickly.
He seemed to enjoy what Ashlee was giving back, but on the other hand, there was a sword in his voice that could not be said to be a joke.
Before he was a friend of Ashlee, he was the king who led the Knights of the Sludge (Ooze).
The group to which he belonged, in order to respond to that trust, was a man who knew with his own body that even if he was a friend, he sometimes had to swap blades.
I'll do it if I say so.
The melancholy was seeping from the edge of the word.
If Ashlee was just a hero, it was no wonder that the tip of the battle was open at this moment.
But... a man named Ashle Dow was different.
Broken, that was a word for him.
