65. Actually, I was a little tired.
“Do trivial things dare to target France?”
Poof. I swung my sword and cut away the sticky blood.
Definitely, the guys just now were at the level of masters and captains, so they were stronger on a different level than the vice commanders.
The Master and First Captain are at the level of Sword Masters who can use Auras as seen in the game. But their attacks never reached me.
Because Gene Barenberg was a monster that could not be compared.
“Whoa.”
I sat on the waist of a junior general who had his head on the floor. He is a bastard kept alive to spread rumors.
“Hey.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Why do you think I saved you?”
“Well, I’m sorry. I do not know.”
Tsk tsk, it’s because I’m so clueless. I shook my head.
“Today, spread rumors throughout the underworld. “If you touch anything related to Princess Descartes, it will be destroyed just like you all.”
With this, they will never touch us again. The empire’s second most successful dark guild has been wiped out, but who would attack without fear?
“Yes, yes! “I will definitely do that!”
Slight tremors. Fear was evident down the spine of the junior captain who was using the chair as a chair.
“Then please take care of me. “I’ll just go now.”
That was when I got up from my seat and was about to leave. I turned around and asked.
“Hey, do you have anything to wear and a towel?”

After destroying Zenbucoros as planned, I immediately returned to the Descartes Duchy. As we arrived in front of the duke’s residence, the knights glanced at us. Is it because of these mud-like clothes?
“Please open the door. “I am on my way to carry out the princess’s orders.”
The knights looked disapproving, but they had no choice but to listen to me. Slam! The arched gate of the Duke’s residence opened.
“Hmm. “It looks like some kind of rag was draped over it.”
I couldn’t go dressed like this, so I stopped by my accommodation, changed my clothes, and walked to tell France the news. When I arrived at the front of the room, Helena was waiting.
“Princess, you are sleeping now!”
“What? “You’re sleeping?”
“Yes. You’re tired because you have a lot of work these days…….”
Well, I’ve had a lot of work to do these days. In my spare time, I learn magic, travel around and do things, participate in imperial parties, and even run a store.
My stress must have skyrocketed because I was worried about my health.
‘I should let you sleep here for a while.’
Sometimes even France needs to take a break. I collapsed in front of the door.
“Hey, what’s going on? “You don’t look good.”
Helena asked, lowering her upper body. Bright eyes. Now that I think about it, I’ve become a bit closer to this guy.
“Just. “It’s not a big deal.”
Ha, I sighed heavily. I felt skeptical as I slaughtered the guild members of Zenbukoros so cruelly.
“What’s going on…?” ?”
They look at me and get scared and worried. This guy is really naive too.
“You know. “How would you feel if you lost yourself?”
Helena tilted her head.
“I don’t really know what you’re talking about. “Do you mean my personality will change?”
I shook my head.
“It’s not that simple. It feels like something is eroding me, eating away at me. Should I say that I myself cease to be myself?”
I knew from the beginning that things were gradually changing. The way of thinking is the same, but the feeling is clearly different.
I definitely felt that this time. I had a lot of experience killing people before, but honestly, I didn’t think much of it at the time because of the circumstances. I just assumed it was because I was synchronizing with Jin.
But after I found out the truth that Jin was increasingly preying on me, I became awkward. I was afraid.
The person I am now is not me.
“Your hands are shaking.”
Helena held my hand. Warm warmth. I looked up at her head and met her eyes. Blue eyes twinkled.
“Are you comforting me?”
“Oh, I guess so?”
Why is it in question form? He may be a little eccentric, but his heart is pure and kind.
“Anyway. “What do you think?”
Helena looked up her head and was lost in her thoughts. And after a while. She gave her opinion.
“Hmm. I’m not sure what you mean by her not being herself. Because everyone changes. “Isn’t it actually a stage of adaptation?”
I laughed without realizing it. It would be nice if this was something I was getting used to.
I was always worried. I wonder if the deeper the synchronization, the more personality is inherited, and the more memories are inherited, the more the existence of Kim Gong-ryeok disappears.
“I wish I could think like that.”
“You can think like that, right?”
“What?”
Helena laughed. A pure smile.
“Of all the things I heard from my parents, there was one thing that touched me the most. “The more you worry, the more it’s not a big deal.”
I blinked at her and listened to Helena.
“Everyone is worried and afraid of the future. “No matter how strong a person is, this doesn’t change.”
Soft voice. Helena continued her words.
“If it’s just a little bit, why not shake off your fears and worries and look at something else? “The more desperate and impatient people become, the narrower their horizons become.”
When she heard her words, she felt as if a bundle of tightly held threads had loosened a little. And her thoughts began to change.
It is said that Jin’s memories are coming in and his personality is gradually being consumed and he is becoming Jin, but isn’t my way of thinking the same as Kim’s?
Her fists were clenched. If you do it wrong, your nails may dig in and blood may ooze out. But she didn’t care at all.
After listening to Helena’s words, I was able to find myself that I had lost.
I gained fighting spirit due to injustice. It is this world that called me, so why should I disappear? I will protect my existence at any cost.
At the same time, I will keep my promise to France.
“Thank you.”
I gained energy and a faint smile came out. I was surprised that Helena recognized my feelings.
“I’m glad it was helpful.”
Helena stroked my head.
“… “What are you doing?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I have a younger brother.”
What is your relationship with your younger brother? Helena continued speaking as if my feelings were reflected in her eyes.
“My younger brother worries a lot and gets scared. So I always stroke her head. Then you will feel at ease…….”
Is that what it was? I definitely feel comforted.
“It doesn’t feel bad. “I’ll have to ask you more often in the future.”
Helena smiled at my joking words and patted my head more.
It was then.
Rat!
Suddenly, France’s door opened loudly.
“What are you guys doing now?”
Cold eyes. Seeing France like this for the first time sent a chill down my spine. I felt like I needed to make an excuse, so I quickly opened my mouth.
“I was waiting for you, princess.”
“Really? And?”
“We just talked a little while we waited.”
France’s attitude did not change despite my excuses. She felt the magic power built into her body stir. Why is it suddenly doing this?
“Come in first.”
“Yes.”
I got up from my seat and followed France in. We naturally sat facing each other at the table.
“So, how did things go?”
“It was handled without any problems.”
“Really? I’m glad.”
“What happened to the store?”
France chuckled. Looking at her smile, it seemed like she had just woken up from her sleep earlier. I’m a bit sensitive when I wake up.
“This one also ended without a problem. “They said they were scouts.”
Are those the troops I wiped out? Trying to enter the duchy with that number, this won’t be a problem that will be easily resolved.
‘Did they give you that much money?’
If you’re Frida’s madam, it’s worth it. She may have risked all her money to get the heart of her business back. If you take a portion of the money you received and give it to the nobles, things will calm down.
“Anyway. Take a break today. “It’s a little late, isn’t it?”
France took my hand and gave me some gold coins.
From Noble mtl dot com
“It’s pocket money. “Today must have been hard, so go out and eat something delicious and come back to feel refreshed.”
Her heart throbbed and rang. You are the only one who thinks of me…….
‘Including Helena.’
I bent my waist at a knife-like angle.
“Thank you, then I will have a good time!”
“Okay. Oh, and please call me Helena.”
“Yes.”
I opened the door and walked out with a happy heart. He spoke to Helena, who was waiting.
“The princess is calling?”
“Princess? “I’ll go right in.”
Helena hurried into her room. Rattling. The door closed and I left the mansion.
‘When you’re depressed, the best thing is to eat something delicious and get some fresh air.’
She received unexpected comfort from Helena, and France gave her pocket money as compensation. Let’s have fun and come back. It’s been a while since I drank alcohol and ate a lot of meat.
I left the Duke’s residence smiling.
* * *
Talk. Talk. France knocked on the table with an uncomfortable expression on her face. When Helena saw this, she felt fear for some reason.
France’s expression was cold, but it also felt strangely alive.
“Oh, princess. Is there anything you need? ?”
Helena tried to remain calm and asked. Her fear was evident in her trembling voice.
“Helena.”
“Yes, four!”
Drur. The chair moved back and France stood up.
“Do you seem to be on good terms with Jin?”
“Are you Jin?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, that’s…” … “
Boom! France suddenly slammed down on the table. Helena was startled and her whole body twitched.
“Huh. She definitely told Jin too. “Don’t be friends.”
Helena felt fear for her life. Fear gripped her whole body, as if her rabbit had been chained before her beast of prey.
“Helena.”
“Yes, yes!”
France bent her waist and looked up at Helena, who bowed her head. Her cold eyes. Helena felt a chill on the back of her neck.
There is no focus in her eyes. There is no movement in the facial expression. All she could feel from France was coolness.
“Don’t approach Jin anymore.”
“Yes, yes? But… ….”
Boom! France slammed down on her table again. She seems to have black smoke coming out from behind her, is it because of her mood?
“Are you talking back now?”
“Oh, no…” ….”
Helena was unfamiliar with this kind of France.
When she was first assigned as France’s personal attendant, she always looked out her window with a bored look on her face.
But at some point, she began to brighten. Of course she was nice to Helena, and it was nice to see her doing well.
But it suddenly changes like this. Helena couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Helena.”
“Yes, four?!”
“Please keep in mind what I say.”
France sticking her head in. If she came a little closer, their foreheads would be touching.
“Don’t be presumptuous.”
What on earth is so presumptuous? Helena didn’t really understand. Is she coming out like this just because she talked to Jin?
‘Isn’t their relationship simply a master and a slave…? ?’
All sorts of questions passed through her mind, but Helena could only nod her head.
“Yes, yes! So what should I do next… ?”
“Conversation with Jin is prohibited at all. Don’t even care. “Don’t even approach me.”
Helena nodded her head repeatedly with her trembling body. Only then did France regain her smile.
“Did you understand what I said?”
“Of course! “It’s the princess’s order!”
“Okay, that’s enough. “Just go out now.”
Helena hurried out of her room. Then she fell, sliding back against the wall, clutching her pounding breasts.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok…” ….”
She recently heard that the Princess had learned her magic. Is it an effect caused by magical power? Helena, whose senses were relatively dull compared to others, also felt alive.
Helena let out a deep breath, clutching her still trembling hand.
‘The princess has become strange…….’
