Sanzen no Souru Supina

"Maria... Myriattis Jarjajul"

Ashlee called softly.

Next to the fountain sitting deep in the palace, she dived through the crystal forest and called out to the source of the water supply.

A snake princess singing the name of Ashlee: the voice of Maria.

There was no grudging tone, only the princess's thoughts waiting for a man who hadn't picked me up.

I didn't know that.

Zion's impressions speak for themselves.

At the center of the source spring full of refreshing water, the serpent princess who kept calling the fresh spring water closed her eyes and fell down on her face.

As a result of Focus , which was an abominable punishment tool that admonished the whole body, the princess who had reached her limit soon after she had rested, fainted, and she could only get a moment's rest.

The call to Ashlee, which was similar to that prayer, was the very protection of her heart to keep her sane.

Only the sound of spring water pouring out echoes through the dome-shaped ceiling.

"Marya, Marya... I'm sorry." It would have been... so painful for us. I'm not asking you to forgive me. Please hate me. I'm going to let you all taste this suffering for your own sake. "

Theon offered to refrain from attending the fountain room.

If you need to, you can call them, and they'll be waiting outside the gate.

It was a thoughtful tribute to the Snake Princess, who had become one of the Mariahs described by Ashlee along the way, and who had continued to provide plenty of safe and clean drinking water for their battalions without breaking the contract.

“Maria, please wake up.”

The eyes of the captive princess twitched as a beloved knight called out to her.

Slowly, but it lifts up.

Ashlee was just a little surprised that her eyes, which she thought were full of sadness, were filled with the aftertaste of a happy dream somewhere.

Maria?

"Ashleigh... Ashleigh Dow? Oh dear." Yes, yes, as you requested. The princess, Maria, is entirely yours. Please use the princess until she's broken... please step on her plea... and do as you please. "

"Huh?! Marya, it's me, what's the matter?" Hold on tight! "

Are you losing your mind?

Ashlee shook Maria in a panic.

A flesh-catching instrument grimaced.

The serpent princess's eyes gradually refocused on Ashlee's call, and Ha-ha-ha.

"Ki, you son of a bitch?! A real one?! Is it real?! Then is it a dream?! Wow, what did the good princess say?! Wow, did I stop and tell you something ridiculous?!"

I see, it was a dream (depression).

If so, what kind of dream did you have?

Ashlee felt like she was confessing her love with something.

Nevertheless, the situation was completely different from a few days ago.

What has happened in the last few days?

Ashlee couldn't grasp the situation and took a deep breath to calm herself in a hurry.

"It's okay, it's okay, Maria." It's me. I'm here, I'm here to fulfill my promise. "

"It's okay, is that okay... that's good." I was worried that I might have muttered something unexpected again. Oh, thank you for coming, princess. "

Ashlee was determined to do what she hadn't heard before.

However, I felt a little relieved.

Apparently, the quality of Maria's continued blame wasn't a nightmare at all.

I didn't feel disgust or humiliation in Maria's voice.

It's a change I can't think of since I first met you.

She was occupied with suspicions of shame and humiliation as she was constantly strangled by malicious automatic devices for hundreds of years, and she was as peaceful as someone else...... somehow full of love.

"I've left a lot of space. Wasn't it thoughtful?"

"I knew it was the right place, so── Dragon King: The── princess facing Smaugard Garamgolm... the princess was fine." I was able to put up with it. But if anything happens to you, that's all I'm worried about. What if your duke loses his life trying to fulfill his promise to the princess? "

"You've been thinking that much?"

"But I knew it was going to be all right." It's a change that happened before your grandfather came. "

"Change?"

Ashlee asked without being able to swallow the situation well.

Even though the reason was unknown, what she was worried about was that she was uneasy.

However, the words and actions were somewhere far apart.

The serpent women had a strong hold on the Shrine Maiden's [Chala].

Therefore, I thought it was my ability to predict.

Isn't the princess any different, Ashley Dow?

"It's changed... ah, is this [Focus] color...?!"

When I was told, it was obvious to me.

The [Focus], the punishment tool that captured Maria, had completely changed color.

I didn't realize how hard I was going to take care of her when she fainted.

Certainly, the punishment equipment that captured Maria not only changed its shape, but also its color.

From pitch-black to white like bones washed in the waves.

There was a memory of Ashlee in the color.

"Is this... a whitening?" I don't think so... So the [Focus] that Smaugard owned switched to my name... "

muttered in a daze.

I remember a conversation between Izuma and Urdo in the Dragon Sanctuary.

It is virtually impossible to rewrite the name of "Focus", personalized by "Soul"...

The serpent princess herself continued to turn her fingers down on both eyelids in an attempt to stop the dizziness that was coming.

"Have you finally figured it out? Yes, it was a few days ago. Suddenly, this abominable punishment device that had been capturing the princess and making her a comforting thing began to rage like a pain in the ass. I thought it would break, but it stopped the rampage... and changed into white like this."

It's when we take down the [Lord].

"I knew with my own body that I had accomplished a great task," said the princess.

Ever since.

"The behavior of this instrument has changed. As a merciful, but as a devouring, gentle, and deeply sought. It wasn't a lucky finger that succumbed to shame, but one that loved the depths of the princess's heart...... I completely changed into that kind of behavior."

Besides, it was a shock.

"From there, it was your duke's... thoughts and thoughts of your [Spindle]." It tells me how much you care about the princess and how much you care about her... I can't stand this... You can't stand it, can you? "

Crying for a while, Maria says she doesn't like it or feel sad at all.

"I can only feel joy. Even though I'm playing with you, I can't feel any disgust or pain just because it belongs to you. I can't refuse anything at all, I can't even think about it. I can only think that I'm loved."

I've spent a few days like that.

"Is there something wrong with what the princess is saying?"

Ashlee shook her head silently.

Although extremely subjective and idealistic, the way the serpent princess felt was not wrong.

Indeed, Ashlee cared about Maria.

Not only do you owe me for saving your squad, but you must be free to let them go.

And this giant [Focus], who whitened his thoughts and became his own, took it and changed his behavior.

Impure King: The difference between the painful crown and behavior of Cure The Baine is probably because it is a tool to subjugate Cure The Baine, while this instrument was always a tool to automatically blame the Snake Princess.

Therefore, the moment the owner switched from Smaugard...... No. [Lord] to Ashlee, he took the thoughts in the deepest part of his heart and changed the quality of his actions towards Maria.

It's just that Ashlee thinks.

"Is this... unremovable?"

"Ashleigh? Ashleigh Dow? What do you mean?"

Strangely, the serpent princess didn't ask about "irremovable things".

"Do you want to remove this?"

"Oh, of course. I can't take it off. That's what I said. I'll definitely let you go. Didn't I swear to you?"

Maria's eyes widened as she was told something unexpected.

"Did you really mean to set the princess free?"

"Of course, that's why I fought for my life. I'll keep my promise to you."

Asserting Ashlee, the Snake Princess looked shocked for a moment, and then blushed her cheeks.

Maria?

"No way... no way, really that much"

Are you happy or sad?

Maria shook her head in a small, confused manner.

I don't understand why, but anyway, Ashlee went into a fight with [Focus].

Since this Focus is already yours in the first place, there must be a way to free Maria.

But no matter how hard I tried, the Sentinel did not try to release the Snake Princess with her grip on her.

As before, it was a rampage like punishment that did not occur, but the shackles that captured the Snake Princess did not scare.

"What's going on here?"

"I think the princess... this is automatically... that is, even if you don't realize it... isn't it because it's a tool to make her play and listen to what she says?" Isn't this a tool to extract the hopes that are beyond that kind of consciousness? "

What do you mean?

"Um... I mean... your heart doesn't want to let the princess go, so... the princess thinks foolishly"

I wonder if you're exhilarated, princess?

Ashlee was stunned at Maria's face, which turned bright red.
