Chapter 293 – White Cow (6)
“Nice to see you.”
Since she bloomed anew at the hands of Seo Bang-nim, no one had ever thought that she was inferior to her appearance, but the woman in front of her was different.
“My name is Lucia Urella, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Lumenhark Empire.”
An unreal appearance that seems to materialize the concept of beauty.
A body that is perfect to catch a man’s attention to the extent that you can see it even if most of it is covered by clothes.
But more than anything, what made me wary was…
It was the fierce love for the West that could be seen in Lucia’s eyes.
***
It’s been a long time since work hours, but Mr. Seo doesn’t come to the bedroom.
There have been cases where Seo Bang-nim was late for work before, but this was the first time he was late without saying anything like today.
I was anxious.
So I sneaked out of the room and moved to a place where Seo Bang-nim might be.
Kiik-
My heart is agitated by the light of the library late at night and the voices heard there.
I cautiously approached the study, opened the door slightly, and peeked.
“Then, Aslan will prepare weapons and supplies to this extent.”
“…Thank you. …By the way, are you cold?”
“…How did you know?”
“Your complexion looks that way.”
“Haha.. The complexion. It’s the first time I’ve heard such a thing from anyone other than His Majesty. When I talk to the Minister, I feel as if I have known him for a very long time.”
“Hehe… I am like that when I talk to the Minister. Oh, wait a minute. I will prepare tea that will warm you up.”
“No. How could the substitute do such a thing? I will call her maid.”
“It’s okay. I can’t even call someone at such a late hour. Even if I look like this, it’s my hobby to get off the car, so it will fit in my mouth. Or is it that the minister doesn’t want to drink the tea I brewed?”
“…If you say that, I understand.”
Natural consideration as if he knew Seo-Bang better than anyone else.
And every time Seobang-nim smiles softly.
…Hate.
Hate.
I don’t like it. I don’t like it.
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
I hated it so much.
…I feel like that woman will take away Mr. Seo anytime soon.
***
The study was not the only place where Lucia permeated.
Even when she was in her bedroom, Mr. Seo talked about Lucia.
“So… I’m trying to support weapons and food in the warehouse.”
The food and weapons piled up in the warehouse are the power of the imperial family, which Seobang-nim acquired even while wearing a stigma.
Imperial power…
In other words, wasn’t it prepared to be my strength?
But you’re giving it to Lucia?
“…Uh…Why? Wasn’t that… What the West… Prepared for me… Ah…?”
“Yes, everything is for you, Soso. Don’t you know Disaster is coming. Fortunately, the disaster started from Lumenhark, not from Aslan, but when Lumenhark collapses, Aslan is next. Whatever the means, we must end the disaster before it invades the land of Aslan.”
Very logical words of the West.
Still, I didn’t like being on Lucia’s side.
I couldn’t object to it just for that reason.
“…Then I understand.”
“For understanding. Thank you.”
“Instead of that… Mr. West.”
Jjook─
He placed his lips on the nape of his neck and sucked hard.
It was not an act of confirming affection, but an act of leaving a trace so that I could recognize him as my man.
“…Will leave a mark. I have to paint tomorrow.”
“Don’t do it.”
“…Is it Soso?”
“Don’t erase…Don’t.”
“..I get it. So stop pouting and come here.”
“Yes… Mr. West.”
That’s how I left my traces all night long, and made my smell permeate Mr. Seo’s body.
**
The next day, I dared to attend the meeting to check Lucia’s reaction.
Even if Mr. Seo was covering his neck well with his collar, Lucia would surely notice.
“…”
What kind of expression will Lucia make when she sees Seobang-nim with my traces clearly engraved on her?
Just imagining it, I forcibly lower the corner of my mouth that keeps trying to go up.
And finally…
Lucia saw my traces engraved on the West.
“…”
My heart is pounding.
Will you be jealous will you be angry? Will you be sad
I couldn’t wait to see how he would react.
“Then, what do you want in return, Prime Minister?”
However… Lucia didn’t show any reaction.
“I haven’t thought of anything yet. First of all, defeating the disaster will be the first thing.”
“Are you going to stop making blank remarks?”
“Haha, it can be. We will get a reasonable price.”
I wasn’t jealous, I wasn’t angry, I wasn’t sad.
She just smiled lightly as if she was happy.
How?
How could that be?
How can you be calm while admiring the West so deeply?
“…Your majesty?”
“I’m… Not feeling well, so I’m going back.”
“Are you okay? Shall I call the courtesy?”
“It’s okay…First…Don’t go.”
So I ran away.
Lucia, if it were in front of that child, she would continue to face her own ugliness.
**
After a while, she went on a business trip to Mr. Seo.
“…Then I’ll be back.”
“Please take care of yourself. West.”
Normally, I would have followed her stubbornly, but this time it was an opportunity to talk with Lucia alone.
After Mr. Seo left, I immediately went to see Lucia.
“…Instead. Let’s talk for a minute.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Glory comes.”
The place I brought Lucia to was the bedroom where there were still traces of Mr. West’s body odor.
While there, we were talking about light small talk.
I asked what I really wanted to ask.
“…What’s your relationship with the West?”
“There is no relationship. I just saw her face once more than ten years ago.”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Kwaak-
The moment I heard that answer, I was strangling Lucia.
“Your eyes and every action are shouting out that you love Seobang!! How dare you tell a lie!”
“…A lie…No. I… Have nothing to do with… Eugene.”
Lucia’s words feel like the truth or lies.
It drove me even more crazy.
Knock it out─
Having abandoned Lucia, I whispered in a low voice.
“If her life is a waste, don’t recklessly approach the West any more… I won’t stop then.”
“..Ha…Ha…Yes…Your Majesty…I’ll keep that in mind…”
It was a check that was too naive and low to be said to be conducted by the emperor of an empire.
But as long as I could be by your side, I could do anything.
***
How many days had passed since I warned Lucia?
Around the time when I still couldn’t get out of the terrible self-loathing.
Quaang─!
The door was suddenly opened.
“Suddenly, this is a commotion!”
“Sorry…Sorry..!…Your Majesty! However… The chancellor… The rebellious… Family heads… Kidnapped…!”
The back story didn’t sound right.
When I came to my senses, I was already running.
Upon arriving at the imperial plaza, I saw Seobang-sama drooping, covered in scars, with her hair caught in the hands of Cheonggaju.
“Look! I, Cheonggaju, caught the evil traitor who killed Your Majesty’s father!”
At that moment, along with the sensation that the blood vessels in the brain were cut off, my vision was dyed red.
“Cheonggaju!!!”
At the same time as I rushed toward Cheonggaju, Blue Dragon, Red Dog, and Black Tiger blocked my way.
“Blue Dragon! Enemy dog! Black tiger! Stop Your Majesty! His Majesty is possessed by a traitor and is beside himself!”
“Get out of the way! Do you think you guys will be able to stop her original daughter!”
“Stop! Your majesty! We are not your enemies!”
“That’s right! Everything is inversely wrong!”
“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!! Don’t talk about things you don’t know anything about!!!”
Kwaang─!!
I struggled somehow to get closer to the West.
“Ah..How can a human being be so strong even if he is the first disciple…!!”
“Shut up and concentrate, black tiger! Still, it’s not impossible to stop the three of them together! Focus on defense as much as possible!”
“Vicky means!!!”
I struggled and struggled.
However, when the road was about to be opened, the other side rushed in and blocked it.
“Get out of the way… Please… Get out of the way!!”
“This man, who is not a citizen of Asran, tricked His Majesty into becoming the chancellor, coveted the wealth offered to His Majesty, and filled her barn.!!
At that time, the dagger that Cheonggaju held up shone.
“That’s not enough! He is a traitor in the world who even murdered His Majesty’s father who wanted to lead His Majesty to the right path!!”
“…Stop…”
“So, I’m Cheonggaju! I will punish you on behalf of Heaven!!”
“Please… Please… Stop!! Please..!! Please…!! ..Stop it..”
Pooh-!
The dagger that Cheong Ga-joo struck down pierced Seo-bang-nim’s chest.
“Look everyone!! I, Cheong Ga-joo, killed a traitor!!”
Cheong Ga-joo was shaken wildly as if to show off Seo-Bang-nim who had his heart pierced, and then threw it on the floor like garbage.
Crying— Crying—
Blood gushed out like a fountain from the chest of the fallen West.
“May the will of heaven be with me!! Everyone, secure His Majesty’s recruits!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”
West is dead.
The moment I realized that, my entire field of vision turned red, and my hair turned white with gray hair.
“…Ju…Ju…Kill…Throw away…Kill…”
“Your Majesty… Give up. It’s over now…”
Kwaz means-
He tore off the entire jaw of the enemy dog that stood in his way.
“His Majesty has gone out of his mind! Everyone back down… Kwaaaaah!”
He broke the fleeing Black Tiger’s leg and pulled out his arm.
“Lung…”
I put my fingers into the blue dragon’s eyes and tore his body lengthwise.
“…Cheong…Go…Ju…”
“Hee..Ik…!!…A monster…A monster…!!..Oh…Don’t come…! Don’t come closer!!”
“…Chung…Gajuuuuu!!!!”
“Come… Don’t come!”
Blue dragon, black tiger, and red dog, I couldn’t stop it even with three.
The magic that Cheonggaju shot at random in fear.
Of course, it couldn’t reach me.
Chow-!
I realized it belatedly only after I ran to Cheong Ga-ju in an instant and cut off her head.
“…!!”
One of the spells he shot blindly in fear flew toward the West.
“…Seobang-nim!!!”
Don’t be late
Don’t be late…!!
Please don’t be late…!!!
I ran like crazy to the West, but…
However, it was delayed again.
Faaaaang—!
I thought so…
After the dust cleared, there was a woman who wrapped her body before me.
“…”
It was Lucia Urella.
Lucia, who received the magic of the blue wine with her bare body, was not in good condition.
“…Everything…It’s good…It’s…”
But Lucia didn’t seem to care about those wounds.
“…This time…It’s…It’s not… Late…It’s good…”
She just smiled softly, as if she was glad she was able to save Mr. West.
I couldn’t understand.
I couldn’t understand why Lucia didn’t stop Baekgaju’s magic.
Baekgaju’s magic would have been enough for Lucia to defend.
However, that child, Lucia, just barely used the minimum amount of mana to preserve her life.
Why?
For what the hell?
“…Just a little…Just a little…More…Bear…Please…”
The reason was immediately clear.
Whoa uhh—!
Lucia had no intention of using her magic for herself from the start.
In order to pour every single drop of her magic power to protect her own life into her husband…
Whoa-!!
Lucia’s magic unfolds, and West’s time goes back.
The blood that escaped from Seobangnim’s body returns again, and the wound in his chest heals rapidly.
And at the same time…
I could feel Lucia’s vitality draining rapidly.
“…!”
The moment I saw it, I felt it.
If this continues, Lucia will die before the magic is completed.
I ran in an instant and grabbed Lucia’s hand and said.
“…Use mine…Mine!”
“…”
Swoop-
“…!!”
The sense of exhaustion of vitality was so frightening that even though I knew that this was what Seo Bang-sama was asking for, I would unknowingly take his hand away.
‘How much…’
Because how deep is the love…
Even in this fear, did Lucia throw herself away casually?
“Please…■Foot…This■■Big is…”
“Again this time…Again…Per■To…Phrase■■…”
“Why…!…Uh■Stand…■■…■■■!”
In a fading consciousness.
Feeling a voice coming from somewhere, I closed my eyes.
