The Queen’s Cosmetician

Chapter V Defending Descendants 1

The Luglova River is one of the most expansive rivers in Clan Haive. The source was a pot-shaped lake surrounded by steep cliffs, and it was a beautiful scenic spot with an abundance of fairy lights flying over the water, even at night.

The lake is now in the shadow of a leaning moonlight and filled with darkness. There was only one boat on the lake that sounded gentle water.

Wobbly, wobbly. Slowly swirling like the leaves of a circling tree at the end of a stream of water.

The wind blew over the deck.

The rolled-up garment caught on the sailgate and flipped over.

The figure of someone trying to get it back was no longer seen anywhere on the ship.

Just then, throwing the material onto the tabletop, Mariage took her seat rampantly. Wait for the magic tool to activate for the Continental Conference. One, two, three. Look at the fan-shaped spread of the material while counting the numbers in a frustrated manner. In the meantime, a civil servant came and went behind the scenes, and brought various reports to Mariage.

"The wife is an intermediate nobleman family. The three lower nobles, with the exception of the son of the Patam family, have been wiped out."

"Of the 16 registered churches and chapels under the castle, there are three teachers and seven dao women..."

"The priests and the related facilities on the aristocratic side of the city are safe."

"Those who saw it came to the door in a state of panic."

"Police and Riot"

Your Majesty

The sorcerer told Mariage to move away from the sorcery.

It's up and running.

The light shone on the sorcerer's board.

Except for the Mariage, there were only two of them. The only countries that responded to this late-night call were Doppelgänger and Zemnam.

“Thank you for responding to this urgent call.”

That's right, I was about to call out to you.

You seem to be having a hard time, too.

Prime Minister Zemnam's Sairies reacted immediately, followed by Doppelgangham's queen, Fortuna. Both countries are in the same situation as Del Ligueiria. The rumbling of their voices conveys the sign of a man who moves in a hurry.

The queens of Farine...

The church in the three kingdoms is very influential, including Don Fan... I guess we can't afford it yet.

I hope your Majesty is safe.

Mariage muttered in a sigh. One of the documents describes the results of an exchange with each country. Donfan, Zekst, Farril. We've heard from you that the Queen of the Continental Conference is safe, but we haven't heard from her since. Mariage did not respond to the rushed call.

Mariage asked Sairies when she noticed another unresponsive person.

Is Queen Akselina safe?

Yes, and now I want you to meet a confused nobleman.

Sairies answered.

"I'm sorry I'm late..." His Majesty has entrusted me with the full power of political judgment in this meeting.... including the flow, can we continue to talk about the situation in our country? ”

Yes, please.

Time is running out. The situation is tight, and I can only use this magic tool until the full moon sets on the horizon. By then, we must confirm and exchange information, and decide on the future course of action among nations if it is to be realized.

At the urging of the Mariage, the Sairies opened their mouths.

"Immediately after I was able to see the pillars that had a light intensity closer to midday than the north and the clan haves, a large number of people in my Zemnam became lights and disappeared. Regardless of the nobility, the common man or the people. At the heart of the damage is the radicalism of the Church of Our Lady. Apparently, on the way to their disappearance, those who took the hand were also involved, and the public and private sectors, mainly those who disappeared in the first place, were harmed. Fortunately, all the radicals who were hiding from the most recent information were also being monitored, so they were quick to grasp the situation."

“Excuse me. Would you like to share some radical information with Queen Farine?”

I'm done

"That's right.... I'm sorry. Please continue with your report.”

Mariage apologized for interfering along the way. No problem, and Sairies keeps talking.

It's about the situation, isn't it? Anyway, the chaos and fright are terrible, so in my country, your Majesty will do everything in his power to keep everyone calm. The situation in the province is still being confirmed... I think it looks similar.... how about that? ”

It's pretty much the same.

Fortuna answers.

"The damage is still centered on the people who were obsessed with the revival of the Church of Our Lady, the radical faction of the Church of Our Lady. However, as you know, our country's involvement with the Church of Our Lady is weak."

Most of the people of Doppelgänger shall be made up of those who have been played out of the shelter of the nobility, or the protection of the bloodline of the holy lady. Although the church handles the daily coronation ceremony, Doppelgum, which hardly combines the currents of the Maisenbourg nobility, has a thin relationship with the church.

Inside the Imperial Castle, there were a few disappearances of diplomats. The citizens were confirmed to have disappeared by the nomads they had received and the priests they had dispatched from outside.... the situation outside the castle is still being confirmed. ”

“The same goes for Del Ligueiria.... there were still a few aristocrats who disappeared from the royal capital. This low damage was due to my relationship with the nobles who were connected to the Church of Our Lady when I returned to the throne."

All the houses that were deeply involved with the Church of Our Lady in Del Ligeigeigeia insisted that Mariage should be taken off the queen. Few of their associates remain in the capital.

However, there were many disappearances in the castle's inhabitants.

People disappeared in front of me. Leave clothes and decorations behind. It literally became a grain of light and disappeared.

The panic of the people who witnessed it has spread to the people, and everywhere is now in the middle of chaos. It may be worse in regions where it takes time and distance to reach a castle.

Among them, Del Ligeigeigeigeia's castle, in particular, is still spared the worst.

There is one reason.

"... the one that attracted the disappearance is the bracelet." A testament to the faithful of the Church of Our Lady. "Silver bracelet with wild rose decoration"

After receiving a warning from Juno, he carefully followed the steps of the Church envoys, forcing them to accept what he found to have been handed over by them.

The most collected of them were bracelets with wild ornaments and chains.

"A part of it fires in response to that pillar of light." The room I kept was burnt... So when I checked around the disappeared person, I got a testimony that he was wearing a bracelet. I haven't confirmed it in the castle yet..... "

I will also check here

"This too......"

Two politicians rush the clerks to investigate. Listening to their voice, Mariage pushed her forehead against the hand she had joined.

"That's probably the sign of a raw sheep." Our sorcerers say it was one of the means of harnessing the magic to create the maiden. ”

There's that board you're using at the meeting, isn't there?

Alvina stared at the [Demon Use] bird that had been sent to the castle and cut out a commentary.

"I was wondering how you were going to collect magic power, but the theory was the same as that one. I sent my magic power remotely through the moon... no, I pulled it this time. The intrinsic magic of a person wearing a bracelet."

Everything is made of magic.

Humans are dense magic containers. Every day, the magic power and concentration of the outside are matched, so people keep their potash.

But if something sucks in my magic, it's incredibly powerful.

Don't people break apart?

When the magic power that far exceeds the human's endurance density oppresses the human from the outside, the vessel becomes distorted - deformed.

“Not all of the bracelets have played that role. A very small amount of sorcery was injected into it... this time."

It was activated according to the ritual of the Saintess.

Fortuna took over Mariage's words.

”... as I told you, the people who sent you to Luglois contacted me to start the ceremony.”

Yes, the Doppelgänge gave us that news, which is why we were able to check the situation quickly and quickly.

Regardless of whether or not the maiden was born, the magic device was activated.

Was the neutralization operation not completed in time?

There was a place near the source of the Luglois.

"There it is... were you able to confirm it?"

That's right.

Fortuna affirmed with an oozing voice of bitterness.

"In the form of wearing the wall of the source, there were several facilities and magic devices. They have been disabled and have been contacted. But... the most important thing was that Reina Luglova, the church magicians, and the two people allowed to attend the ceremony were nowhere to be seen...!"

Die and Fabien Barnier, the head of foreign affairs.

Fortuna's voice was trembling. Even Mariage wants to scream. But that's not what I'm saying.

He said he would come back.

So you have to believe in it and do what you have to do.

“Is there anything else I should share?...... If not, let's get started. Predict what will happen in the future and discuss countermeasures."

"...... Reina."

I can hear your voice.

Cute, Reina

The soft voice of a woman who tries to indulge her opponent.

Hearing his voice, Die raised his eyelids as he felt a burning sensation on his wrist.

"Ahh..."

I can jump up and dissipate the heat from my left wrist. The black discolored barbaric ornaments and chains crumbled in the air. Only the silver tree continues to shine dullly on the die's wrist.

What happened, when I was dazed, my eyes met the smoke crystal-colored eyes that couldn't read the emotions in front of my face.

"Mr. Sace...?"

How are you feeling?

"Um... sleepy...? Also, my left wrist tingles..."

"The left hand was burned by the residual heat after the magic was activated." The skin may peel off later. The Sleepmate is exhausted after resisting magic pressure. Is there anything else that bothers you? ”

The die opened and closed an eyelid that looked like it was packed with sand, and shook its head to the side. Ceith stands up away from the die.

As his vision brightened, the die took a breath away by the sight that spread out in front of him.

A small thunderbolt runs there, sparks are scattered, and the hemispherical space is bright unexpectedly. However, the brightness was gradually being lost. From the ceiling to the floor as if the water were pulling. The concentric circle drawn on the floor also vanished from the outside to the inside, loosely lit by the magic characters.

At the center of it was Reina. A thin thunder runs around her, stopping her from approaching.

It seemed like he was stunned. Die got up in a hurry.

Reina.

Reina

A woman's voice echoed like a die.

It's too gentle a voice to be true.

Seth glances at the source of her voice. Looking irritated, a woman with a face resembling Reina was projected on the corner of the wall.

Reina, my mother is coming to the Red City. Because as I got poorer and poorer, I thought it would take a lot of power to save the many vulnerable people who needed help. ”

It was a voice full of compassion.

'It is very sad to leave you for that. If I become a holy woman, it may not be fulfilled to see thee. Yeah, but... if it's for you, I'll give you this. "

It was a voice that was more irritating to me than to take care of my daughter.

"Oh, you should come here someday." I'm sure he'll come. That's a good boy. Reina...... ”

"Fufu, fufufufu..."

A quiet laugh echoes in the scene.

The sorcery script had lost all its dazzling glow.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Reina's laughter echoed through the gloomy space.

She stood up and waved as she laughed for a moment.

"Shut up."

A crack ran through the wall where the video was projected.

"You can't even protect your newborn daughter." That's why I couldn't be a saint. Unlike Reina. "

The wide banded hem that tied her waist swayed.

Low-heeled shoes have no footsteps, and they keep a close distance.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Reina whispered.

Even with a slight whisper, it sounded like the sound of ease.

"Come on, Die."

"... where are you going?"

"It's a ceremony. We need to celebrate."

"... what is it?"

"This world has become a little cleaner." Hey, did Dai come to make a festive makeup for Reina? "

Reina's voice was gentle. I realized that I was really looking forward to the makeup of the die.

And yet, I'm scared.

One step at a time, she felt the pressure as she stepped on it. My skin foams and gets clogged in the back of my throat. It feels as if it's boiling inside your body, but it's cold as if your fingertips are holding the ice.

A shadow stuck in front of the die.

It was Ceith.

"Stay away from me."

Reina paused and narrowed her eyes uncomfortably.

"A pest who went up on his own." A fine knight? "

"If you come any closer, the die will die because of you."

Reina pulled back her stepped foot.

Seth, who had become reluctant, pursued her.

"You don't know what you are or what's going on.... how many people did you sacrifice to make it that way...!?"

When I heard Ceith's unusual rough voice, I finally came back to calm beneath the die, which was just dumbfounded at their intercession.

"Why....."

Doubts ran through the die's mouth.

"Why did you kill the priests...?"

Did Reina become a saintess? Or has it changed to a different one? The die doesn't know. There is no change in the appearance.

One thing is clear from the current die.

As can be seen from the screams of the present time, for the priests, their own death was not woven into the future.

Reina killed him. Those who are supposed to be our allies.

Reina smiled at Die.

"Oh, didn't you tell Dai and Mariage from the beginning?" Reina wants to clean up the world. I want to wipe out the people who can only pray. ”

I was telling you. Sure. But... that's it.

"Perfilia, not just...?"

“Of course, as far as Reina knows, I've wiped it all out.”

"... from all over the world?"

"Unfortunately, there is no spell beyond the western beasts, and those who have not grasped it will still remain."

This is what Reina says.

All the fanatic followers of the Holy Maiden that Reina sees on this continent have disappeared.

She smiled at the battling die.

"In this world, die." It's not good. It's hard to see. Everyone hates sweating. Even if you are trying, if you can manage by just praying, you can easily throw away the daily business you have cherished, and trample on everything you've done, regardless of your closeness.... hey, you know? For example, healing techniques. Until the birth of the Holy Maiden, there were many kinds. However, since the saintly lady heals people without worrying about it, it's gone. Everyone relied on the Holy Maiden. Ah, you must have been very happy, madam. It was praised as amazing and amazing. I'm counting on you. You must have wielded your power. All the children who had been able to solve the problem with the hand of the saintly lady thought that if there was a saintly lady, they would be able to do something about it, and until then, they would have slaughtered the magician who had repeatedly mastered it. Because if you rely on the Holy Maiden, everything will be fine. I still... think that if I call the saintly lady, everything will be fine. "

Those who do not rely on the Holy Maiden will surely be eliminated as treacherous.

From the curse created by the holy lady drunk with a sense of justice and the people who are sweet with it, even after several stars frost, I cannot get rid of it, and my children and grandchildren are still looking for salvation.

I desire the Holy Maiden.

If you ask so much, Reina will become a saintess.

Reina smiled suddenly.

"In exchange for their lives." The Holy Maiden will be born. I was crying out for the Holy Maiden. That's the basis, isn't it? Their wish will come true, won't it? For them, it should be a pleasure, right? ”

Die shook his head to the side, wanting to cry.

I didn't like the words.

Reina's words are true, and I can't say otherwise. Even if they were all like that, they wouldn't be a good reason to be killed like that.

However, Reina was swarmed and ravaged by such people.

Even so......

"I'm sure there were just people who believed in Reina-sama..."

I admire her. I intend to support her. There's someone like that.

Reina smiled calmly and asserted.

"The Holy Maiden helps herself unconditionally. It is more foolish and ugly for others to think like that. I hope all the filthy bugs that have just recovered from their weaknesses disappear...!"
