Chapter 157 – 39. The Only Hope (5)
“Ummm…”
The 4th Princess Miria di Cairos was tossing and turning. In her sleep, her hazy mind constantly moved her body to find her most comfortable position. But she was very far from being satisfied with her body.
With the limbs tightly restrained, it won’t be easy at all.
Eventually, Miria, who failed to get her comfortable sleep, her consciousness surfaced above her sleep. How the hell did she take care of the futon, so I wonder if the condition is like this. She opened her eyes slowly, holding her irritation and dissatisfaction in her heart.
And, she screamed.
“Kyaaaaa!!”
Beginning with the princess’s scream that broke the silence of the forest, all the aristocrats who woke up one after another were startled and startled.
The monsters gripped their limbs tightly.
“What is this!!”
“Ah! Let go of this!!”
The clearing surrounded by grass and trees was teeming with black monsters. Some of them were holding on to someone’s body to prevent humans from escaping, while others were roaming the surrounding land or flying in the sky, keeping watch in all directions.
Miria struggled and struggled with her physiological disgust and fear. However, it was of no use in front of the strong grip of the monsters. The part caught by them was so painful and unpleasant.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Where the hell is this what are these monsters Why should he suffer like this?
Miria is a princess. To her, who has been thoroughly protected and treated with dignity since her birth, her dangerous and sudden situation was unbearably frightening.
There was no hope anywhere.
Everyone else was in the same situation as he was, and the monsters were too numerous. Even as a rule of thumb, it seemed to easily exceed the level of dozens. Escape by force was impossible. There are only trees all around. There was no sign of rescue.
How is he now? Did they get eaten alive by them and disappear without a trace? Or a more terrible end than that…
“I hate it!!!”
The monsters only restrained people’s limbs and left their mouths alone. At this, countless screams resounded loudly in all directions of the deep forest.
Miria screamed with all her might, just like everyone else. She felt as if only she could find her savior, and she did. Even though she knew very well that such a person did not exist.
‘Sister Jennifer! Transcendentalists! Or other knights or wizards! Anybody there?!’
The weather was overcast. Miria wept bitterly as the dark, cloudless sky seemed to be her own future.
At that time,
As her transparent tears soaked into the ground,
The clouds parted and the warm sunlight flooded in.
A huge hole in the middle of the sky.
Something surrounded by a brilliant light in the center.
From this center, countless beams of light soon pierced the dark clouds and fell violently to the ground.
Sky blue windows rained down.
“Keeeeeg
“Kkureuk! Kkuik!”
Light fell like rain.
The monsters couldn’t stop it or avoid it.
Those who were pierced by the sky-blue light were instantly annihilated from this world without a trace.
It was an overwhelming majesty.
Like a natural disaster, an irresistible attack aimed precisely at the evil monsters.
People who were screaming and despairing stood up from the ground one by one and looked up at the sky.
First appearing through the clouds,
Who saved them from danger at once,
An existence surrounded by brilliant sunlight.
“God…?”
Miria muttered blankly.
The man next to her involuntarily nodded at her self-talk. The tremendous inaction contained in the pupils just now was not lacking at all even if you call it divine.
But as the being slowly descended from the sky and set her feet on her ground, Miria could not take her eyes off him in another way.
The hero who saved her life.
“I am Honorary Viscount Ji-Hoo Jeong. I have come to rescue you from the monsters of the Pandemonium. Has anyone been hurt?”
With his bright smile, warm face, and reliable body,
Heartbeat
Miria’s heart started beating fast.
* * *
The way back to the ecliptic Cairopelium.
“Whoa!!”
Miria looked down ‘under her feet’ in admiration as she straightened her fluttering hair with her gusts of wind.
“Flying in the sky, it feels like a dream! Mr. Jihoo!”
After the stop It was the name of her hero who saved her. A summoner from another world, a man who has awakened the mythical level [Heaven] Attribute.
After examining each of the abductees carefully, he explained the circumstances of the attack on the ecliptic and gave them their current location.
ㅡThese monsters are said to have originated from the Demon Realm. She prophesied the second coming of the demon realm by the 2nd princess.
It was quite far from the ecliptic, so it was estimated that it would take two days on foot to get back.
People’s clothes and belongings were all of no help to the return. In Miria’s case, her clothes were her walking dress, one shoe had fallen off while being dragged, and her belongings were her necklace and rings and other jewelry.
In addition, they were all tired, hungry and mentally exhausted, and the route to the ecliptic had to cross a dense forest rather than walking on flat ground.
So, when people, all of you, prepared for the arduous journey and strengthened their will, Jihoo came up with a very surprising and great solution.
That is, riding a large board made of her [Heaven] Attribute mana, flying through the sky and returning!
“I am glad that Your Highness was satisfied.”
Jihoo whispered in her ear with a voice like honey. Miriae blushed at her shyness, but slightly puffed her cheeks as she didn’t like the way she treated herself with respect.
‘You can treat me poorly…’
Miria fell in love with Jihoo at first sight. Under the same circumstances as before, is there a woman she won’t fall in love with? So, with the authority of the royal family, which she does not ordinarily assert, she squarely occupied the place to her right.
Miria glanced to the side of her.
The red-haired young lady sat in the seat left of her. Surely her name was ‘Serena’? According to her, she had been acquainted with Jihoo-sama from the beginning…
‘Huh…’
Miria deliberately pointed out the face of her prospective mate (?) So that Jihoo could hear.
“Serena. There’s something on the corner of your mouth.”
Between her red lips were two strands of ‘curly black hair’. Since it wasn’t red, it probably wasn’t Serena’s, and since it was curly, it wasn’t Jihoo’s hair either. So she thought maybe she was the hair of those hideous monsters.
“······Oh, thank you······.”
Huh. Seventeen is right.
Serena was a woman who looked fierce somewhere.
‘I don’t think he’ll be my competitor.’
Miria felt more comfortable and enjoyed the flight date with Jihoo while feeling the cool breeze.
“Jihoo, please tell me the story of another world!”
As you fly, hear amazing stories from another world.
Could there be a more unique and impressive experience than this?
Time really passed in the blink of an eye like this wind. The silhouette of the huge imperial palace was visible in the distance.
Among the cheering aristocrats, only Miria suppressed her regret.
“You’re already here. It was an honor to speak with Your Highness.”
No, Jihoo seems to be feeling sorry too!
Miria immediately felt better.
The heart of a girl in love is like a reed.
“Me, me too… Next time! I’ll invite you to my palace!”
She looked to her side and smiled brightly.
* * *
All of the people who were suddenly kidnapped by demonic monsters safely returned to the ecliptic.
It was all thanks to Jihoo.
As soon as Miria arrived at the imperial palace, as the 4th princess, she made a strong petition for Jihun-sama to receive an unprecedented reward.
As a minor with no attributes yet, she could not participate in the Empire’s decision-making. However, no matter how low-key she was, the earnest request of the imperial family could never be ignored lightly.
Miria herself was willing to offer her goods and treasures to Jihu if she felt that his reward was not enough.
It was the price of saving the 4th princess and the expression of love.
The next day, when Jihoo’s reward was confirmed and the veil was lifted, Miria couldn’t help but be surprised.
1. Military Merit Medal, 2nd Class: It is usually a medal awarded for achievements in saving the kingdom/Ecliptic.
2. Bounty: Comparable to all the wealth of a tolerably lower aristocratic family.
3. Victory: You are elevated from an honorary viscount to an honorary count.
And,
4. Engagement with the 2nd Princess.
“Uh······.”
In an instant, Miria’s legs gave out and she slumped to her knees on the floor. Embarrassed, she held back her maids who ran towards her with her hand, and she looked up at her sister with her empty eyes.
Soniel di Cairos.
Miria was called by her 2nd princess and was able to hear the shocking news directly from the spot.
She is married to her sister, Sonny El, by Jihoo.
This meant that her soon-to-be first love of her own was extinguished as soon as it flared up.
There was no precedent in imperial history for a noble to marry two members of the imperial family.
Her Miria’s chest throbbed.
It feels so cold, dark and lonely. It felt like all the colors in my field of vision had faded. It was as if she had been left alone in her ruins.
“Do you like the West?”
Sonny Elle’s sister knelt down on her knees right in front of her, whispering softly so that no one else could hear her.
“Wait a year, no, six months. I’ll keep my chastity until I become an adult. Can I?”
