SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

5.

... my beloved daughter.

... Don't expect anything.

...... Don't expect anything.

…… don't expect, don't lean. That's the secret to life.

... … whenever you say to yourself, ’Maybe this time,' the world whispers to you, 'Maybe this time.’ Trick once is an experience, and twice is a tragedy. But it's a farce to cheat three times.

... my beloved daughter. You are a noble.Be careful that your life doesn't become a joke to anyone. Don't give yourself three chances.

…… twice. Only two wounds are enough to be remembered forever. Those old kings sought their own death long before they lived. Don't repeat the folly of building monuments in the desert.

…… but if you still want to leave yourself to the world, my daughter. Remember, you don't lend your life to people. Don't try to be somebody's debtor. From the beginning, give it to me with no intention of getting it back. Give it all.

... forgive people for raising your corpse. Give me your hair. Give me your finger. Give everything from your purest sacrifice to your purest joy, to your purest hope. They will indulge in all your pleasures and feasts.

... so don't leave anything in this world.

Nothing.

Mother died of that will.

The funeral was burnt.

6.

The basement is quiet.

“What's the matter? ”

Only the voice of the lily spirit resounded. The air is cold. The interrogated servants bled out, but the pit of blood of three men could not warm the basement at all.

“Please punish me as the nation. ”

“Ha, ha. ”

The Crown Prince smiles faintly.

No, can I see that he's smiling? I barely climbed up my mouth and fluttered. It was a miserable failed smile.

He turns his head to look at the Inquisitor and me as if fleeing. [What do you think of this absurd situation?] The Crown Prince's eyes said so.

“Prince Charge.”

But the escape failed. The voice standing by on the day of the Lily Infant stopped the Crown Prince's gaze.

“Shall I refer their crimes to the Emperor's Special Forces? ”

The Crown Prince stopped.

“Are you trying to trample the subway of the abortion?" ”

“Will you test how far the Emperor will forgive you? ”

Threatening.

His tone was weak and not out of manners, but the Duke's supper, the lily infancy, was clearly driving the Crown Prince away.

And it was a valid threat.

"Ugh."

The heir to the empire trembles. Trembling, the duc grabs his devoted sword. However, the emperor's decision was to stay behind to hold the sword. You're not even close to swinging the sword.

“Sylvia..."

Tae-ja lets down her blade. Boss, he looked at us. Do you want someone to step up and stop the Lily spirit?

“Nice work! ”

However, the Inquisitor smiled.

“I like that you brought us in as well as the Prince of Thailand. Aha, because all of the people here have become accomplices and keep their mouths shut. The Crown Prince is relieved of his responsibilities. I'm glad the Princess is punished! ”

“Sh-Sylvia? ”

“The problem is that only you seem to benefit from it. ”

The Inquisitor's eyes twist like an upside down moon.

“Is there any benefit to doing things this way? Princess, three of the Duke's loyal servants will die? He will even be punished on behalf of His Highness. I'm very curious about what you think. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. As I said, these are Mainlanders, and it is only right that I, the Mainlander, take responsibility for their mistakes..."

“Aha, beautiful! But it's inefficient for discussion! Let's be honest with each other for a more efficient discussion. Why do you want to be punished on your behalf? Is that a princess's love? ”

The sound of breathing in the basement.

The golden and silver spirits exchanged their gazes for a moment.

“Doing what you have to do as a servant. The Golden Hawk.”

A bold voice followed.

The baby lily didn't even flinch her eyebrows.

“There is no deficiency in profits and costs. You may have grown up in a distant family, but you may not understand it easily. ”

“In other words, you don't want a reward? ”

“Do you want my answer? Abandon. It has no effect on my actions whether you understand me or not. ”

“Interesting……"

The Inquisitor breathed. It was hard for me to imagine what that breath meant right away.

But one thing was certain. The reaction of the Inquisitor was never what the Crown Prince wanted. Inquisitor Ethan had no intention of stopping his love of sisterhood. The emperor, who was clinging to his love, was filled with despair.

“…… One moment please. Miss."

That's why I had to open my mouth.

The Inquisitor tilted his head and looked at me.

“Yes, Chamberlain? What.”

“If those servants really are the perpetrators of the assassination, we have a right to retaliate. It is not right to leave the punishment to His Highness. ”

My mouth is foul. I turn my head. In order to overcome this politically complex incident... I was obsessed with thinking about [best course of action]. I did not hesitate to use the butler's knowledge.

[Increases engagement with people.]

[Your current immersion rate is 7%.]

My tongue was all dried up. Not yet.

“… The same is true of the Lily Soul. They were betrayed by loyal servants. I think he deserves to punish his acolytes. ”

“Oh. That's it? ”

“Three servants who sinned. There are three people who deserve to be punished. ”

I saw servants tied to chairs.

“Why don't you take care of each one and punish him? ”

Silence.

“Lord Lily wants to make us accomplices anyway. That's why you brought us here.... Your Highness can't handle the punishment alone. I think it would be appropriate for the three of you to be equally responsible. ”

It was quiet for a while.

“Hmm.”

The Inquisitor closed one eye.

"......."

The lily spirit narrowed her eyes without saying a word.

The Crown Prince's complexion suddenly brightened.

“I see! Sylvia's acolytes were right. The princess was betrayed by her men. Sylvia was attacked. I need to establish a law immediately! Everyone has their reasons, so it's better to dispose of them one by one! ”

“Your Highness. The king should not share responsibility with others --

“Shut up!”

The prince nervously threw a knife at the baby lily. Heave-ho! The blade hits the infancy's leg and bounces off.

The baby lily was expressionless. You must have hit him hard enough.

“If something happens, kill it! Punish him! Punish him! That's all you can say! So far, so far, how many humans do you think I've destroyed? ”

“It is your duty to lead this empire in the future. ”

“I'm not a murderer! You're not a butcher, you're poisonous. Fierce thing! If you want to see blood like that, kill it first! ”

The crown prince grunts. The duc stares at the crown prince. Time is frozen.

The ice in the air breaks as infancy slowly bends at the waist. She picks up the knife. Mocking continues. Left hand for knife, right hand for knife. Proficient.

Lilies draw their swords.

"Your Grace."

The color of the blade resembles her hair.

"Then at least give me an order. ”

"Orders? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Order me to be executed. Why are you hesitating? Have you forgotten the law you ordered? You're giving up the king's rights."

The Crown Prince takes a deep breath.

"Week,”

It's like saying something out of the question.

"Kill... ”

However, Silver Lily's infancy was never in vain.

Blood splattered.

The air in the basement cracks, and the heavier flesh cracks even more.

"Ha."

The lily infant's shoulders froze like a small sigh. Not only that. After taking one life in one sigh, the lily spirit looks at us.

"......."

An ominous note rises. Your heart beats warmly.

I realized what I felt for the Lily spirit.

[Increases engagement with people.]

[Your current engagement rate is 8%.]

The instinct is that [this person will one day stand in the way of the Golden Ladyship].

It was an obsession that we must solve the human in front of us.

“Hahaha. I'm getting more and more interested in you! Well, that's great! ”

That's why the immersion rate went up like crazy.

“We can't let the man who bought the assassination live. Give me the sword. I'll take care of the second one. Let's be accomplices! ”

How many people has the Inquisitor killed so far?

I don't know yet, but at least the Inquisitor wasn't an amateur in this regard.

As soon as the Inquisitor took the sword, he said, "Hmm!” You executed him in a single blow.

Now there's only one servant left.

“Ah…. ”

There was only one person left to administer punishment.

The Crown Prince opened his mouth and looked at the Inquisitor. He didn't know that Inquisitors could execute people that easily.

“Ugh...! ”

And then something amazing happened. The Crown Prince stepped back and tried to escape. Before Silver Lily would say anything, Inquisitor Ethan said, "Oh!” The moment he shouted, the Crown Prince ran.

Since no one expected it, the Crown Prince almost succeeded in running away. Yeah. If I hadn't blocked the basement stairwell in the back of the group.

“Th-that's reckless! Who stands in the way of one seed? ”

“You.”

I grabbed the Crown Prince's wrist and grabbed it. Cough! Determined and empowered.

The Crown Prince tried to sow his hands, but failed. A low scream came. In the beginning, the opponent was no match for me in grip.

“You... ugh! Let go of my hand right now! ”

“It's all because of you. ”

The voice that came out of my mouth, it was cool to hear. It was not my usual voice.

“This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't bought an assassination like that. He is crazy about love and has a kidnapping play. It could be. But you're not going to take responsibility for being crazy? ”

I stared at the Crown Prince.

“Catch it.”

“Come on, catch… what…. ”

“Carl. Grab it. ”

The Crown Prince flinches.

[Increases engagement with people.]

[Your current immersion rate is 9%.]

More immersive, but irrelevant. My heart was the same as the butler himself. Anger at the cowardly fugitive.

I grabbed the Crown Prince's wrist and dragged it. Tae-ja resists. She tries not to be drawn to me. But I ignored it and took the Crown Prince.

“Grab the hilt. ”

“Ugh, that's reckless...! How dare...!"

He didn't try to catch it, so I forced him to.

“Keep your sword straight. ”

“Let go! I command you to let go! Oh, no one?! ”

I tried not to put it up, so I forced it up.

“I can see how much you've been blaming others up until now. Dirty things, dirty things, unwanted things. They must have all been passed on to the Lily Princess. the emperor of a country. ”

“Shi, Sylvia! Dry your acolytes! Sylvia! ”

“Draw your sword and cut it down. ”

The emperor's arm is weak. Easy to get rid of.

So, I dropped it.

“Ah."

The smell of blood in the basement became more intense. The servant's body tied to a chair slipped.

The Crown Prince stared at me with a dejected face. At the prince's feet, the lily infant slowly bent her knees. Her skirt sits in a pool of blood and rubs red.

“The blessing of all people is that the national capital established the law immediately. Your Majesty.”

"......."

The Crown Prince did not answer. I turned my back silently. This time, I let go too.

"Brace yourself and keep the rules of the new bees from now on."

The Prince walked up the basement staircase with difficulty. Buzz, buzz... Throughout all this time, Silver Lily's spirit advised me. Her voice hits the crown prince's back and johns flow into the cellar.

“The fate of this country and the fate of its people depends solely on the mind of the Crown Prince. You may be alone, but you're not alone. Your actions and determination affect the Empire greatly. Please.”

The footsteps are distant and disconnected. We were still looking at the lily infant who had her head tightened.

“Be strong.”

I am.

I wanted to understand him.
