Chapter 303 – Lucia Urella (6)
“Lucia. The situation is not good. If you don’t, you’ll lose command and even face a military trial.”
“…”
“Fuck. If you could have saved that man, there’s even a pretense of stealing the information… After all, you didn’t find anything and searched!”
“…”
“Hey! Are you listening Now you’re fucked! Because of your order to capture us, we needlessly increased our sacrifices. Please come up with a countermeasure!!”
“…”
Knock-
Seeing my silence, Bianca grabbed me by the collar and shouted.
“Get your mind right, Lucia Urella!! What are you doing right now because of that guy!!! Everything we’ve built up until now is about to explode!!”
“…Bianca…”
“Why! Fuck! Do you mind if I grab you by the collar? So why don’t you just shut up and curse at me!!”
“…You… Will never… Never know.”
A person you love enough to give your life for.
And the pain of losing that person in front of your eyes several times.
“Lee Iik…!!”
Then Bianca raised her hand as if to slap her on the cheek.
“…”
I didn’t dodge or block it, I just closed my eyes.
If being beaten would ease Bianca’s heart, he could have welcomed him as much as he wanted.
“Fuck!! Really..!!”
But in the end, Bianca pushed me and shouted without doing anything.
“What an asshole! I’m sorry for the time I wasted on things like you until now!! As long as you continue to be such a loser here, you can do as you please!!”
Quaang-!
I looked up at the ceiling in the room left alone after Bianca had left.
Even though the words are harsh, I know that it is Bianca’s own encouragement.
But…
‘…Sorry.’
I am so exhausted.
I no longer had the confidence to watch Eugene’s death.
I just wanted to finish everything.
Swoop-
I picked up the dagger I had hidden under the bed.
Fuuk-
Lucia Urella ended her life.
**
7th round, 4 years before the entrance ceremony.
Scary.
Afraid.
I want to quit.
However, this cursed return did not let me go.
That’s why I wait for the moment the world perishes.
I locked myself in my room
***
Five years have passed like that.
Clap-
I heard the door open.
Perhaps an employee who occasionally tidies up the room and leaves meals.
Normally I’d ignore it, but…
Today, the situation in which I had that dream again did not make me feel good.
I said as I wrapped myself in the blanket.
“…I don’t need it, so get out…”
“…”
Usually, with this one word, most employees leave the room immediately.
But this time it was different.
Jerk-jerk-
Instead of leaving the room, the sound of footsteps approaching me.
“…”
Yes, there have been several times.
The people who tried to get me out of the room by force in order to win my father’s favor.
The results were not always good.
“…I’ll say it one last time… Get out.”
Second warning.
Hwaaak-
And suddenly felt a bright light.
“…?”
I understood the situation a bit late.
Someone forcibly took the blanket from me.
Knock-
This has gone way beyond the line of an employee.
In response to the rising anger, I let out my magic power and shouted.
“…I told you… To shut up!!!”
And I was at a loss for words when I saw the face in front of me.
‘…Is this a dream?’
Am I still not waking up from the nightmare?
My heart hurt enough to die, but at the same time I felt that I wish I wouldn’t wake up forever.
Then, the man in front of me smiled and said.
“I will see you in a long time. Miss Lucia. As you may remember, my name is Eugene Calliope.”
It was not a dream.
Really… Eugene Calliope was in front of me.
“Please forgive me for my rudeness in suddenly entering the lady’s room and taking even the bedding.”
“…Uh…How…You…Why…Are you…?”
“Ah, I received a request from the head of the household. And even if it wasn’t, I wanted to see ‘The Moon of Empire’ again. Haha.”
Seeing Eugene’s cool smile, I said while avoiding my gaze.
“Please go back… Please…”
I don’t want to see your death anymore.
Haven’t I tried hard enough so far?
I wanted you to stop giving up.
Then, Eugene took a step closer and said while holding my hand.
“Lucia-sama… I don’t know what kind of pain Lucia-sama had… Or why she closed her heart.”
“…”
It has to be.
Because my return is my own curse that I cannot convey to anyone.
Didn’t you see clearly what happened when you broke it?
“So I will try.”
“…”
It was 5 years.
“I will do my best so that you can open your heart so that I can understand Lucia’s pain.”
“…”
“So please give me a chance to try.”
For the past five years, I tried to give up while killing my heart.
I thought I had finally made up my mind…
‘…Why.’
The cold frozen heart…
The moment I met Eugene, I melted so easily and warmly.
***
“…Lucia-sama. Are you really just in your room?”
“Are there any problems?”
“…No…That’s not it…Ha…Something…Something…Great.”
Eugene looked at me with a look of surprise, but it was only natural for me.
Even though the content was slightly different, I did the same thing several times.
“..Huhufu… I’m a pretty genius girl.”
“…”
Eugene secretly averts her gaze at my self-praise.
I said while holding her breasts in front of Eugene’s eyes.
“Oh, why are you not answering? Is not it?”
“…Lucia-sama. If you stand in the way like that, you won’t be able to work.”
“…Then you can answer. Now, is that right? Isn’t it?”
Continuing, Eugene let out a deep sigh and said.
“…You’re right.”
“What is right? Are you a genius? Or are you a pretty girl? By the way, my recommendation is both.”
Then, a sharp voice interrupted.
“…Hey. Do you flirt with my man over there?”
“Hmm… Bianca.”
“What’s with that grumpy expression…”
“It’s funny that you say ‘my man,’ a topic that you’ve been dumping for years and openly.”
“…Hey…Chuck…!”
Vivian caught up with Bianca who was about to rush at her in a fit of fuss.
“…Uh…Sister…!..Ji…Calm down.”
“Let go! Ah! ..Vivian…I calmed down, so let go…!!”
Haha… We get along well.”
“…Yu… Yujin-nim! Yujin-nim too…Don’t just laugh and help me…!”
Pair─ Pair─ Pair─
Eugene said while organizing the situation.
“Okay, so everyone was joking and everyone checked the report, right? A group of top-notch monsters appeared near Isols Village, so we went together and solved it…”
“No.”
I declared, interrupting Eugene.
“I alone am enough.”

Tear – Storm – Dragon – Fangs
《Press – Kill – Giant – Footsteps》
“..Ha…Ha…It’s so…”
Red clots of blood mixed in between the coughs.
“…”
I was feeling it myself.
That I’m overdoing it now.
But I can’t help it.
In the last five years I’ve wasted, Liana has grown stronger.
This level of power is still not enough to deal with Liana.
“I need to be… A little… More… A little… More… Stronger…”
I walked forward, wiping my bloody lips.
***
8th round, one year after the entrance ceremony.
“A spreading nightmare.”
I said to Eugene and her group.
“Don’t think that the person infected by the nightmare is a human being anymore. Even if it’s a family member or a lover, don’t hesitate to kill it.”
If you make one mistake against this guy, it’s over.
The moment you make a mistake, this guy, as the name suggests, ‘Spreading Nightmare’ Will sweep us away.
In the 6th episode when I was saved again by Eugene, I eventually defeated Liana, but I couldn’t overcome the ‘spreading nightmare’.
And at the end of episode 7.
Just when you thought you’d almost defeated ‘The Spreading Nightmare’ after literally changing your lifespan.
Bianca is haunted by nightmares.
‘…’
The moment she confirmed that she was infected with the nightmare, Bianca took her own life without hesitation, without leaving her a single word.
Once a mistake was made, it collapsed in an instant.
‘…Run away…!!’
Vivian, who cast a heart-rending spell on herself, bought time for us.
In the meantime, I ran away with Eugene.
In the end, even though he knew that this end was death, he ran away like crazy and ran away.
‘Lucia…’
‘Eugene…’
How far did you run away?
The end has finally come.
Magical power is the bottom, behind is the endless cliff, ahead is the army of nightmares.
‘…Sorry.’
Eugene and I hugged each other and threw ourselves off the cliff.
But…
“This time…”
It will be different this time.
***
9th round, 7 years before the entrance ceremony.
No.
No no no no no no no no no no!
It shouldn’t be like this.
In the normal way, there is no way to save Eugene.
‘…I had the wrong idea from the beginning.’
If this world attacks Yujin with malice…
I also had to be spiteful towards the world.
I won’t be the only one sacrificing for Eugene anymore.
Even if it means sacrificing everything in this world…
I will rescue Eugene.
***
Six years before the entrance ceremony, the crown prince’s birthday party.
Liana must have noticed my tailing a long time ago, but instead, she walked to a place where there were few people, as if enticing.
And finally, when the human presence completely disappeared.
‘…Now!’
Ugh-!
I used an artifact that allowed me to avoid the magic surveillance spread all over the imperial family.
But it only takes 30 seconds to fool the eye.
I had to finish everything in it.
29 seconds ago—
“…?”
Liana realized the abnormality.
28 seconds ago—
I shot my magic at Liana.
《Through it ─ Kill it》
Killing people is also possible with the most basic magic, Wind Blade.
However, magic that commands direct killing is classified as black magic and is strictly prohibited.
The reason was simple.
Black magic is magic that harms not only the opponent, but also the user.
Just by using it once, the soul becomes dirty and the lifespan is shattered.
《Explode ─ Kill》
《Freeze-Kill》
《Burn – kill, fall out – kill, press – kill, fall – kill》
15 seconds ago—
However, black magic was the only way to catch Liana within 30 seconds.
“… Big..!!”
At first, it is Liana who blocks well, but she is gradually pushed back as she shoots black magic at a speed close to that of a radish spear.
‘The remaining time…!’
5 seconds ago-
Even thinking about confirming Liana’s death, this attack had to be put to an end.
《Poke it ─ kill it!!!!》
Kwaaaaak-!
Stems of roses rising from the ground and shooting towards the liana.
Liana miraculously escaped between them, but…
Tok-
A thorn sprouted from the last of her stalks and pierced Liana’s pinky finger.
“…!”
“…!”
A wound too small to be fatal.
But as long as the magic I used was «Prick it—kill it».
The death of Liana, who was stabbed by a thorn, is certain.
“…Ah.”
0 seconds—
Liana fell to her floor like a doll whose threads had snapped.
“…Ahaha…Congratulations…Lucia…I don’t know how…I don’t know how…You succeeded in killing me…But…Even after this…Yes…Family. .Is it okay?”
“…Doesn’t care.”
Before coming to this place, her father and mother had already inflicted great wounds on parts that did not affect her life.
If that news goes in, it will not be that the next head of Urella’s family killed the princess, but rather that I, who went insane, did it.
“…Huhuhuh…Really? There is…A secret passage…To that…”
“…”
Liana’s advice.
But, of course, I didn’t believe it.
‘…Let’s go.’
Putting on the cloak, he left the imperial family through the escape route he had secured in advance.
