Operation to escape the demon castle (2)
Although Syana was in charge of overseeing the living quarters within the Immortal Castle, she did not completely abandon her status as an imperial aristocrat.
In fact, since swallowing up a noble family was just a means to make access to a higher level easier, it was true that there was no need to obsess over status now that they belonged to the Undead Army.
However, there are things that I have worked hard on, but wouldn’t it be a waste to just throw them away?
Fortunately, her master, Hans, the Immortal King, seemed to have judged that it was still worthwhile, and allowed Cyana to visit the family periodically.
And the few moments given like that were like a vacation where she could escape from this stifling and musty space and enjoy her aristocratic life again.
“Hmmm~♪”
It was natural that there was a humming song on that day.
‘As soon as I go, I’ll have to treat myself to the finest black tea and cake. After that, enjoy the luxury while shopping. Money is meaningless now, so let’s spend it sparingly. First of all, fill in the shoe collection you may have missed in the meantime…’
Shiana walks through the gloomy castle with lively steps, organizing things to do when she leaves.
Before heading to the moving magic circle that the Immortal King himself had set up, she looked around the jurisdiction for the last time in preparation for being away for a while…
In the restaurant of the residence, I was able to face an undead with an unusual appearance.
“Oh my God, Andrew? Are you really Andrew?”
“ah? Ha ha ha ha ha···. It’s been a while, sister.”
No… Looking closely, it was not an undead, but a human, and Andrew Weaver, an awakened person from Earth who was brought here with her.
From the haggard complexion that can’t be recognized to the original appearance, the hair that was washed when it was washed, the dark circles on the eyelids and the blurry eyes without focus.
As he mechanically scooped food into his mouth to survive, he turned his head blankly at the sound of Sianna’s voice and looked at her.
“… Seeing that, there’s no point in asking if I’m okay. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look good.”
“Ahahahaha… Ah, it feels good to see a familiar face for the first time in a while. I haven’t seen you lately, so I thought you’d already forgotten me. What is it?”
“Kuhm, you know that it can’t be helped, right? Still, I hinted at Olivia the other day…”
Even though his voice was low, she slightly turned her gaze to his bone-like words.
Honestly, it was true that I remembered it a while ago and wanted to visit it, but quickly forgot it again.
‘Well, I can’t help what has already happened. And if you think about it, I didn’t do anything wrong, right?’
Of course, like a devil, her sorry didn’t last long.
If you look closely, it’s been a hierarchical relationship from the beginning, and now it’s just a motive for enlistment, but how can you take care of it like this?
“But is the work very difficult? I thought you would do it in moderation.”
It’s not obvious that you’re using your abilities, so you should just sit back and relax with your eyes closed.
I couldn’t understand why he, who was lazy by nature, was so overworked on a job that didn’t involve physical labor.
“It’s not like I haven’t tried that either. That woman, that kind of thing, she caught it like a ghost. I can tell just by looking at my body’s biological response…”
“Ah, indeed.”
The undead’s basic ability, detect life force.
Certainly, with an existence on the level of Olivia, it wouldn’t be a chore to use it to determine the person’s condition.
Literally, he was also a real ghost.
“After taking that a few times… even the quota was set. If I couldn’t fill it, I couldn’t go back to the dorm! To make it impossible to properly rest in an environment overflowing with the undead and dark magic is nothing short of a complete devil!”
Andrew’s voice, which had been weakly speaking, grew higher and higher as he reflected on it.
And those words made Sianna, the real devil, feel bad as well.
To the devils, being called devils was nothing more than a compliment, but using it like an insult like that is another problem.
“Yes, yes. I’m glad you still have energy left. But can you afford to talk like that now? You’d better finish your meal quickly and get some sleep.”
“Ugh! That’s right. Stop getting excited without even realizing it. No, but my sister spoke to me first…”
After muttering at her criticism, he sat back down and began to shove food into his mouth.
After watching this for a while, Shiana shrugged lightly and turned around to inspect the area again.
Since he said hello after a long time, he thought of quickly finishing his job and leaving this disgusting place.
Because she was in such a hurry— she didn’t even notice Andrew’s suspicious expression at the restaurant.
“Whoa—.”
It wasn’t long before he stared at Siana’s back with a light, yet regretful gaze, and then he turned his head away with a short sigh.
‘It’s hard to see normally, so this will be the last time with Siana-sister. It’s a bit unfortunate that parting is like this… but I can’t help it.’
It has been over 9 years since the transfer to Auterica.
Finally, on the verge of returning, he continued his meal militantly to endure the little time left.
‘Now… soon, really not long. I just need to be patient a little longer.’
Only, dreaming of escape from this hell.
***
Second residence area of immortality with limited contact with the outside world.
“…is it today?”
“Today.”
There, as usual, Princess Riley and Hesperon, who were working hard on magic training, exchanged low-key conversations.
The moment she had been longing for had finally arrived.
Here, the day when we will be free from the clutches of the Immortal King and regain our freedom.
“The situation is not too bad. The fact that the woman named Lilith, who was watching over us, is away means that the possibility of noticing and responding immediately to an abnormality is reduced by that much.”
It was only yesterday that she left a lot of food and said that she would not be able to come for a while, and told her to take care of herself.
Originally, it was impossible to inform them of such information as prisoners, but since this place was not an ordinary prison, it did not matter much.
However, there was one unexpected problem…
“Still, I felt comfortable because I hadn’t seen that face in a while. This is a bit unfortunate.”
“What are you whispering about? Riley? You look very carefree. I guess you’ve had a pretty comfortable time eating the food they give you? Like cattle.”
It was that the crown prince, who had been forced to stay out of doors for so long, had become free.
Prince Simon Carte Agerion, who was imprisoned here first by Andrew and later by Siana’s plaything.
Even when he was alone in the daily bullying, it was his daily life to soothe his tired body by locking himself in the inn, but since yesterday he had rested all day, he seemed to have regained his stamina to the point where he went out like this.
‘Is it because I grew up eating a lot of good things? His stamina is amazing.’

Moreover, he had a well-trained body as a knight, so it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand at all.
Of course, Siana just liked it more after seeing it, saying it was strong.
“Oh my, aren’t you my older brother? Did you finish all the laundry and cleaning for today? If you forget even for a day, you might get scolded later, right? There was a lack of obedience training.”
“Awesome! you you···!”
He, who had been arguing first and stabbed a sore corner, opened his mouth with a reddened face.
In the first place, there was no corner to win in an argument, so I couldn’t understand why they started a fight in the first place.
“···under! You get along well with each other. To eat with such an unknown bastard. After all, can’t low blood be deceived?”
In the end, he quietly dragged in Hesperon next to her and crushed her entire mother’s family.
This time, Riley’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.
Her mother’s family was also an aristocratic family, but she had a weakness in that she came from a merchant family with a relatively young history.
Even the maternal grandmother was also a case of marrying from a wealthy merchant family, so it was inevitable that conservative forces led by the crown prince would bite the bullet.
The moment she tried to counterattack by opening her mouth again.
“That’s great.”
Hesperon, who had been quietly watching from the side, scratched the back of his head and sneaked in front of her.
‘No matter what, Pad Lip crossed the line.’
Besides, if you look at it closely, isn’t that what he said, including himself?
He was born in his own way and grew up as an only child, but this was an abusive remark that could not be tolerated.
“It’s really spectacle when a person called the crown prince talks to his younger brother. Do you find it absurd to see them arguing about dignity?”
“···What? What about you? How dare you intervene, saying where is this place?”
Why did you intervene now after arguing with them first?
Isn’t it a scene where you can clearly feel his self-centered way of thinking?
Apparently, the previous training hadn’t been very effective.
‘I have to say something to Sianna. I think it’s too much to say that it’s a favorite toy.’
He must have been afflicted with it every day for over a month, but seeing that attitude that was still not discouraged, it seemed that his ego was quite high.
In order to completely obey such an opponent, constant attention and management are required.
“As expected, I have to say something to the owner. Because of the lack of education, the brute that has been kept like this runs out and sticks its teeth at anyone? It seems the trainer’s skills aren’t that good.”
Fast—!
“… Heron?”
Even the seemingly insignificant lower classes mocked him, and Simon’s teeth resonated with a bloody sound.
Riley, too, looked worried.
It was an everyday occurrence for her, a member of the same royal family, but it was clear to her eyes what would happen when someone who judged her level to be inferior due to the personality of a proud crown prince insulted him.
In addition, the supervisor who would control the situation was also absent…
“Huh- yes. It wouldn’t hurt to show you what you saw right now. Even if it’s not, I’m not the only one who’s annoyed these days. If I don’t kill them, they won’t say anything out loud.
His reaction that followed was exactly what she expected.
“Wait. Thinking of using force here and now…!”
She hurriedly tried to rectify the situation, but in fact, Simon, who was stressed out, had no patience left.
In the first place, the reason why I dared to come out like this with a not-so-good body was to somehow vent that anger that was about to burst, so this could be said to be a rather good excuse.
uhhh—
The aura that rose without hesitation, as if determined, strengthened his body in an instant and sharpened his blunt sense of battle.
He also didn’t have much time to devote himself to training like Riley, but his age in his late twenties and his considerable talent were enough to make him a knight.
“Kuhuhh— Shall we see if I can get as good as that snout?”
At least now, it was not an opponent that two people who were only beginner wizards could face.
Even if he is not in normal condition right now.
And Prince Simon, who again grasped the opponent’s state with a sharper sense of humor, was also very aware of that fact.
That you can never stop yourself with their level!
“Heron! First···!”
He hurriedly interrupted Riley, who opened her mouth to say something—.
Kwaaang!
“I’ll make you crawl on the floor! What a vulgar thing!”
With a distorted face, he spurred the ground and attacked Hesperon.
A fist that cuts through the wind and extends as if to crush the opponent’s face.
And he…
Fuck!
“hehehe!”
Courageous-!
He allowed a straight hit to evade and counterattack, which followed very naturally, and rolled to the ground.
Like you said, crawling on the floor.
“Keuugh, what is this…?”
“···what?”
Simon, who was involved in the unexpected situation, as well as Riley, who was hurriedly preparing for magic, blinked and panicked.
He was not a high-ranking knight that could be called a veteran, but he had reached a fairly high level among rank knights.
In the first place, a knight is a human weapon that only polishes combat skills.
A low-level wizard who was not prepared for anything was not an opponent he could resist…
“He has an impatient personality. How could such a person be the crown prince? I am worried about the future of the empire.”
However, Hesperon did not care about their appearance and only grumbled lightly, saying his own words.
As if it had been activated before I knew it, mana from auxiliary magic flowed through my whole body.
