Chapter 113 – Relenting Mind
@@
“Kyaaaaah!”
Yuria screamed and raised her upper body.
My whole body was full of cold sweat.
She hurriedly looked around her and found that she was in her room in the old castle of Tairat.
“Heo-euk… Heo-euk…!”
Taking a deep breath, she examined her own body.
Naked, not wearing a single thread. Just in case, I pulled her hair and looked at it, and it was light green.
Transformation has not been resolved. I’m so glad
“Aww…!”
Her head felt like it would break.
She feels like having a nightmare. Wrapped around her body in her thin blanket, she got out of her bed.
She wanted to find a suit, but there was none.
It looked like someone had taken it.
YuRia let out a deep sigh and found a black dress hanging on a wooden hanger next to her door.
An embarrassing design to look at.
This must be… The dress her mother wore.
The moment she thought of Margaret, a thunderbolt struck in YuRia’s head.
“Ugh… Aaaaa!!”
Sensing her intense pain, she sat down on her floor and cupped her head.
A thing from Tairat that looks just like Ji-hyeok, a monster from a gentle mother, conception, and Ji-hyeok who appeared in front of her eyes.
Memories of her unconsciously pushed aside brought her back, causing her immense pain.
Her whole body felt as hot as being burned at the stake.
I want to scream for help, but the words won’t come out.
As she fell to the floor, curled up like a shrimp and moaning in pain, Yuria saw her door burst open and her tiny soles rushing towards her.
“Mrs. YuRia!”
The owner of her sole was Meryl.
She screamed as she rushed to Yuria.
“Mrs. YuRia! Are you okay? Miss Yuria! Why are you crying! Don’t cry!”
Meryl, who was told not to cry, continues to cry.
Feeling the pure sincerity of her little monster, Yuria’s pain slowly subsided.
After a while, when her pain was low enough to bear, Yuria struggled to lift her head.
“Meryl…”
“Huhhh! Don’t be sick!”
Looking at Meryl, who couldn’t even hear her own voice and said what she had to say, her Yuria smiled faintly even in the midst of her pain.
I was really grateful to Meryl for restoring her broken mentality.
Yuria stretched out her trembling hand and grabbed Meryl’s small hand tightly.
Then Meryl’s crying, which had been wailing loudly, stopped.
“Hueng…?”
She blinked her large tangerine eyes.
It was cute to see her mucus sticking out of her tiny nostrils.
YuRia, who is much better now, said.
“Meryl… Thank you… I’m fine thanks to you.”
“Hey!”
Meryl, who ate her nose, tilted her head.
An expression of incomprehension. YuRia put the blanket back on her body and sat down on her bed.
Then Meryl jumped up to her ceiling and landed next to Yuria.
Her jumping ability is unbelievable for a seven-year-old.
Her ears, and the fox beard on her cheeks, and her formidable athleticism…
Every time I saw something like this, I thought that a monster was a monster.
But her wariness towards her Meryl was not at all.
As for the lovely Meryl, she was an irreplaceable child to Yuria now.
Even though she had only just met her, she felt this way.
She seemed to have adapted herself to the society of monsters.
“Mrs. YuRia. Did you feel sick? A lot of?”
Meryl asked me with innocent eyes.
YuRia wiped Meryl’s eyes and smiled helplessly.
“It hurt a little…”
“Why?”
“I had a nightmare… No, I was facing a bit of a hard reality.”
“Ugh? It’s difficult… Please tell me easily.”
“You don’t have to mind.”
“Then why were you naked?”
“I… Don’t know… What time is it?”
At that, Merrill opened the window, looked at the position of the moon, and answered.
“It’s morning.”
It was still a polar night that I couldn’t adapt to.
But it wasn’t as tight as before.
YuRia shook her head.
“You haven’t slept in a while…”
“Yes? YuRia-sama, you only slept for two days?”
“What…?”
Two days Did he lose consciousness then and never wake up?
It was so shocking that it was justified.
It’s strange that it’s so calm.
Perhaps, thanks to Meryl, he was able to see monsters again, so he didn’t lose his mind even after seeing his mother’s family.
Why does it remind me of the earthly adage that humans are creatures of adaptation?
“I see…”
“Are you hungry? Shall I bring some fruit?”
I was really hungry because I hadn’t eaten anything for two days.
I also get thirsty.
“Will you? I’ll ask for some water.”
“Yes!”
Meryl jumped off the bed and tried to get out of the room.
“Ah, YuRia-sama!”
“Yes?”
“The Demon King was worried. As soon as I woke up, I was told…”
“…..”
Tyrat… Now I’ve come to the point where I’m confused as to whether he’s the Demon King or Jihyeok.
As YuRia ponders with a serious expression on her face, Meryl approaches again and asks.
“What do I do? Shall we keep it a secret?”
It was so admirable that he even tried to disobey the supreme command of the demon king for his own sake.
Yuria, who stroked Meryl’s hair, shook her head.
“I’ll just eat breakfast and go. I just had to ask you something.”
“I see.”
YuRia, who had been sitting blankly looking out the door where Meryl had left, looked at the dress.
If you look at what I brought here, it sounds like you should wear it…
“Ha…”
She let out a long sigh and rose from her seat.
@@
In the end, Yuria put on a dress.
It was because he couldn’t have an audience with the demon king while wearing a blanket.
It was the same design as the one my mother wore, so the curvature of the body was exposed.
Feeling embarrassed for nothing, YuRia ate the fruit while hating Meryl’s praise.
After that, I went out into the hallway and went down to the first floor.
The monster attendants showed a polite example towards him.
The same behavior as when playing hide and seek with Meryl.
It was unpleasant at the time, but it was different now.
Should I say it’s cryptic… I felt strange.
‘Relax… Please…’
Shaking her head, YuRia stopped in front of the audience room, ignoring the greetings of the attendants.
The door he destroyed has been fixed.
I put my ear to it just in case, and it was very quiet.
Heaving a sigh of relief, she was about to knock but hesitated.
Let’s just go in Thinking so, YuRia opened the door.
The audience room was not as dark as usual.
A huge fireplace at the end was burning with a crackling sound, and the soft orange light from it illuminated the throne.
Yuria gulped down her saliva and studied the face of Tyrat, who was sitting on the throne reading a book.
‘Jihyeok… I don’t think so… But I think he’s right…’
My head was complicated, and my heart was tight.
As YuRia hesitated while standing still, Tyrat closed the book and spoke.
“Don’t stare at me like that.”
Yuria shook her shoulders.
She asked nervously.
“You… Who are you?”
“Sit down.”
As Jihyeok waved his hand, a splendid chair in the corner of the throne room floated up and sat next to the throne.
“Is it… Magic…?”
“To be precise, telekinesis using magical power. He told me to sit down.”
“…..”
Yuria, instinctively thinking that she should follow his words, cautiously stepped forward.
Passing through the soft carpet and approaching the throne, she glanced at Tyrat and climbed the stairs and sat down on a chair.
Soft touch. It feels like sitting on a bed.
I was looking at the chair here and there in wonder, but Tairat complimented me.
“Your dress is pretty.”
“Thank you… No, that…”
She is still unable to catch the galpi.
Tyrat was fed up.
“What are you curious about?”
Taking a deep breath, Yuria summoned up the courage to speak.
“You just said it. Who are you?”
“It’s Tairat. The leader of the Demon Realm and the Demon King.”
“… That’s not what I’m curious about.”
“Then what?”
It was Tyrart, who was looking at Yuria with a mischievous smile.
YuRia, who was biting her lower lip, spoke.
“You… Look like someone I know.”
“Right.”
“It’s not such a simple matter of glossing over. I want you to answer me properly.”
“You will find out naturally.”
Yuria thought that Tairat was trying to adapt herself gradually.
He was currently making a hypothesis.
The hypothesis that Jihyeok and Tyrat are the same person…
At the same time, he was expecting that he would also return to the past, just as he had returned to the past.
Hypotheses and truths have different weights to accept.
If this were true, no matter how much I expected it, it would be absolutely shocking.
More than when Margaret turned into a monster.
If that happens, he will pass out again, and Tyrat didn’t want that, so he seemed to be considerate by saying that now.
‘What should I do…?’
I want to hear the truth, but I don’t have the courage.
Do I have to wait for it to be noticed naturally, as Tairat said?
After thinking about this and that, she finally decided to change her mind.
“Mommy… Where is she now?”
“I am in the dungeon. Oh, now that you’re pregnant with your sister, is prison too harsh?”
At those words, Yuria jumped to her feet.
Seeing her angry expression, Tyrat raised one corner of his mouth.
“Does it look sad? That’s what my mother did.”
“Shut up…!”
“Fortunately, there are still opportunities. A chance to turn your mother back into a human.”
Yuria widened her eyes.
“How…?”
“If I retrieve my factor from Margaret’s body, she will return to being a human again.”
“Right Now…!”
YuRia, who was about to tell her to return her mother immediately, shut her mouth.
He couldn’t beat Tairat at the moment.
A handful. It was a self-evident fact.
If you try to solve something by force, neither will it.
Rather, it might have been better to flatter him and get him to do the favor.
As YuRia trembled, Tyrart made a sarcastic remark.
“This time, you grasped the subject quickly. Should I praise you for not attacking…”
“This…!”
“Let’s make a bet.”
“Betting…?”
“Convince Margaret. If you make her tell me she wants to go back to me, I will retrieve the magic without any conditions.”
“Really…?”
“Of course. But… Will Margaret really try to go back to being a human? He’s a guy who came to hate his fellow human beings while he was human. There is a distrust that is deeply imprinted in the brain. They even carried my child.”
YuRia gritted her teeth.
It really sucks, but what he said was true.
I don’t know how he turned his mother’s heart around… My mother became a monster because she wanted to.
Also, if you recall what she said after the change, it seemed that her mother truly understood her own position.
The position that he had to belong to a group of monsters.
“Also, you must be in a state of thinking that monsters are better than humans. Will you be able to properly persuade me?”
“Don’t talk like you know me!”
Yuria shouted out loud. Tyrat shrugged his shoulders slightly.
“I will give you two days. In the meantime, I’ll give you permission to go in and out of the prison and the castle.”
“I’m going to my mother right now… Don’t let the monsters stop me.”
“I have already dealt with that.”
A tilat with a relaxed expression.
YuRia confidently persuaded her mother and promised to flatten that guy’s wonderful… No, high nose.
