The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People

"Uncle Vest, what the hell is that...... what did you take from me...?"

With confusion, Pride couldn't put his finger on the cup.

While the palpitations were low and rumbling on my body, I could finally say those words with my numbing tongue. As his fingers trembled, Vest replied, "It's just as he said it would be." After all, I nodded in my head and looked back at her, who kept asking questions.

She narrows her shoulders and opens her mouth again after confirming that she will not unilaterally turn around to ask for an explanation.

“Pride. You know I'm a Special Ability.”

"Yes, of course. I know that Uncle Vest, who, like Steyl, was my mother's brother-in-law, is also a rare or brilliant specialist."

However, I was not informed of any Special Abilities.

Just as Stale hides more special abilities than he needs, Vest's special abilities are revealed only to a very small number of humans.

I never imagined that it would be revealed in this place.

A sweat dripping from your nerves into your cheeks, swallowing your mouth again. I didn't expect his special abilities to be relevant from the time Vest appeared in this room.

With his special abilities, one of the Queen's arms, it might be possible to revive Rhea's memory. However, at the same time as his brilliant mind was coming to a conclusion, Vest answered as if he had expected it.

“Memory erasure. That's my special ability.”

I knew it...

Thinking so, Pride delivered oxygen to his lungs. Vest's special abilities, which he hadn't been informed about for 19 years, didn't block his empty mouth.

Something is still not satisfactory. But I can see why Gilbert created a place to meet Vest here.

It is only natural that care was taken so that no one could be identified. The opponent is one of the highest ranks of the nation, and it also has a secret special ability. Moreover, it may also affect future diplomacy if it becomes superficial, such as erasing memories.

Even so, regimes that can erase memories in other countries where the existence of special abilities cannot be understood are only marvels.

After placing the cup and holding her blue hair tightly with her hands, Vest put his fingers together on her knees. Now that she knows that her doubts are not exhausted, she waits for them. It is not too late for me to answer all my questions.

With Vest in the cup, Pride put a cold cup of tea in her mouth to calm herself. Place your fingers back on the cup, taste one mouthful and two mouthfuls, and carefully place on the table.

Even though I was conscious not to make noise, the agitation landed neatly on the cup receptacle. Kachan, after the sound of small dishes, also made a fist with his hands on his lap.

"Would you mind telling me, Uncle Vest?" Why did you do that...? Memory erasure does not exist in Japanese criminal law. First of all, even though they attacked my country, they are only slave victims, including Ryer. "

At the time, you knew what to do with them after they were captured, didn't you?

Pride nodded sharply at Vest's words, which she had not long before returning.

The recapture battle itself was an event I was deeply involved in. Originally, if Adam hadn't manipulated himself, they wouldn't have been thrown into the Freesias as a force. Of course, she knew all about how to deal with each damage at that time.

I can't help but wonder what happened to the people who suffered because of me. The same is true of the victims of slavery.

According to their own laws, they were not severely punished.

Sometimes he was brainwashed as a slave, and all those who had been brainwashed exchanged "contracts" with the queen in court, and were later given probation. The content of the contract is also not as strict as "subordinate" or "slave". Only "Prohibit betrayal to the Kingdom of Freesia" and "Prohibit the leakage of information obtained from the recapture battle to this day".

In the name of being under probation, we also provide handover to the original relatives and mediation of work tailored to their needs so that they can return to life as a people. It is a sufficient guarantee from the eyes of the public that the guards regularly check whether they are not treated unfairly in the workplace, or whether they have dyed their hands in the after-effects of brainwashing and illegal activities. Even from the lower class residents, I envy the treatment.... but no one is willing to fall victim to human trafficking.

With pride, Vest nodded to himself that he was sure of their treatment at the time. After confirming that there is no punishment such as memory erasure, he opens his mouth.

"First of all, erasing memories is not a [punishment]." That's a special [treatment] from me personally. "

"Treatment...? That's not a" contract "...?"

The attack on the country under the orders of the Rajiya Empire had a great impact on the country and the people. Alternative contracts that leave it unquestioned. Even if brainwashing does not reoccur or dissolve completely, they will never again be able to commit treason against the Kingdom of Freesia under the contract. It is not a deterrent to petty crime, but it is also a measure of security.

Unlike that, Vest shook his head and peered into her eyes without regrouping his fingers on her lap. While staring at the same purple eyes as his father, he captured them so as not to miss the shake.

"You know about the after-effects of slavery victims." And the [brainwashing] they've been given is not as easy to solve as it should be. "

Lowered voices and brutal reality shook the shoulders of pride slightly.

Vest continues to observe her eyes drifting from confusion into thoughts and understanding.

As soon as I heard my uncle's story, [] certainly a new question came to my mind.

Only about three months have passed since the recapture line. And Ryer was tried two months ago. Is it so gentle to wash your brain into slavery that you can reintegrate into society in just one month?

Brainwashing is dangerous enough to be captured in a castle cell, but now they're all free. All the slave-dwellers at the time recovered so that they could be brought to trial, and they exchanged contracts and returned to the lives of the people.

And as far as I know, I have not received any reports that the slave victims have caused the incident.

"Besides, even if the brainwashing is solved, not everyone can be sane." There have been many people who have lost their memories due to trauma without my having to deal with it. So far, I've had [inhuman] experiences.... and there have been many reports of suicides, new injuries to others, and insanity. ”

Some of them dyed their hands to avenge the traffickers who sold them out and to avenge other countries for treating them as slaves. If the regent of the country told me so, Pride also bit his lips.

I know it well because I've been operated by Adam myself. How much the memory of the past erodes its body. I know the feeling of holding my breath and the whitening of my thoughts just by remembering them for a moment. And unlike the sinners themselves, the victims of slavery are pure victims according to their name.

It's just that I've been tormented, treated like an outsider, forced to do more painful things than lick the earth. For them, the memories of the past were nothing but [poison].

"That's why I've only personally erased their memories since I became Regent." Rosa, Albert, and Gilbert know each other. I don't know if it's going to be the usual treatment or find a replacement if it's not for me... well, I can help you out for a while if you guys want to. "

Even those with special abilities in the memory system are rare.

And if it becomes a special ability of memory erasure, there is also a considerable risk in inviting people into the castle itself. It was possible because it was the current Regent and Vest who had a subordinate contract with the Queen.

As a one-armed queen, she was also present at negotiations and meetings between countries, and sometimes ended the negotiations in a room where it was forbidden to even bring a pen.

After grasping their plans to stay close to the Kingdom of Freesia unilaterally like the Rajya Empire, they can also erase their memories and disguise themselves as coincidences so that their plans do not coincide.

You can disclose the information here to confirm the other person's appearance, and then try to deal with them again by erasing their memories.

It is also possible to erase the memory of the side that disclosed the information, and conceal the fact that the information was disclosed even to the person that disclosed the information that was grasped here.

All of this is a small part of what he's been known to do as the Queen's one-armed friend. Having been in a lot of shadows, he hasn't even caused a single breakdown in his skill.

While appreciating Vest's words that he would lend a hand if he needed to, even in his own childhood, Pride mumbled.

I have certainly heard of therapy in the direction of not knowing the fact itself to a human suffering from a hard memory even in my previous life. But I wonder if it's really the right thing to do to make people forget all about themselves like Lyre.

Vest, who sucked the emotion of pride into his hands as he waved through the silence, cut himself off, “This is all I have to say.”

For now, I'm going back to the point of resolving her undisturbance.

"The memory of this person named Rheer, if you're right and you've lost all your memories, it's because of my abilities." If there is a problem, of course I will take responsibility. "

I could only recover the memories I had erased, but my brows narrowed in pride when I said no to Vest.

Thank you! "I bowed my head and was delighted to recover Rhea's memory. And then... suddenly another question comes to my mind.

Uncle Vest...? "I thought I noticed the pride of leaking my voice, but Vest returned it with one word. I also knew that a smart girl would put the question to herself, needless to say.

I thought of tasting a sip of black tea again, but I checked that there was only one sip left and stopped now. Her large eyes, which were wide open, photographed Vest like a mirror.

"Well... do you mean that I've lost all my memories, which means that it was unexpected to Uncle Vest?"

"That's what I'm asking."

In fearful open words, Vest hadn't put his hair in for a long time.

Just to say that this is the point, his tall stretching straight ahead, as if he had been pointing at the ruler. With a little force in my fingered hand, I cut my words once.

My uncle's eyebrow wrinkles were carved again, and his pride was small. He snorted his throat and then corrected his posture.

I dared to erase the memory of the slave victim, but that was a strange way to say it. On second thought, some of the slave victims, other than Lyre, have returned to their families. Then why did only Rhea lose all her memories? I didn't think I had a tough vest.

“The question is, why did the person named Rhea lose all her memories? All I have to do is erase my special abilities, and I can't peek into or read the other person's memories. Therefore, when erasing the memories of slave victims, it is not possible to determine whether they should be erased in detail. All you can do is specify the memories you want to erase."

Simply selecting the memory to be erased does not confirm the specific image.

If you simply have "hard memories" or "sad memories", you will naturally lose memories other than when you were a slave. Even if you specify a period of time, West doesn't know who was a slave for how long. And if I was brainwashing, it was impossible for me to answer that question.

In other words, Pride understands that Vest's designation of the [condition] to be eliminated caused some problem for Lyer. First, in order to solve the brainwashing of slave victims, the easiest way is to erase the memory while being trained. If the brainwashing experience they were taught disappears from their minds, they will all of a sudden return to their sanity.

And if Vest's right to erase their memories to prevent trauma while they were captured for slavery, it's only natural that they should be erased.

"And all I erased was [the memory of being a slave] and [the memory of being involved in the business behind the scenes]."

The shoulders of pride jumped up and down violently.

Vest's lowest voice and domination today convinced him that he has already grasped the truth.

The sweat not only spread to my forehead and cheeks, but also to my neck, and the edges of my mouth twitched and twitched. The past I heard from Ray and the settings I had in the game in my previous life. And if you hear the word "back office", there is only one result.

Driven by the urge to flee from the scene in an instant, she stood on the sofa. From now on, I understand that this is the right place to fight.

Of course, I still have the knowledge I need to defend myself against the operation behind the scenes, and I'm going to be choked by the sharpened eyes of West. My spine began to get chilly.

"Pride. Isn't the person named Ryer a person who has been deeply involved in trafficking in human beings or in the business of making (...) crops (...)?"
