Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 165
◈ 165. [Side Story] Serenade (2)
“your… … The seeds of the royal family. Give it to me.”
I gaped at the serenade's words. What are you saying??!
‘Oh my god! What is this woman saying now?!’
A man and a woman are together for seven years, lady.!
Red dragons may be the best here in the fantasy world, huh?! In the neighborhood where I originally lived, Confucian dragons were popular! If you say something like that carelessly, you'll be in big trouble.!
The amount of cold sweat rising from my back instantly doubled..
I was sweating profusely and avoiding Serenade's earnest gaze. Ugh, so manly! I can't make eye contact!
And when I averted my gaze, the serenade voice suddenly became heavier..
“……It's always like this, sir..”
“huh?”
“You, a lecherous Korean who flirts with women from other noble families every day, for some reason you never hugged me even once..”
Serenade lowered her head and her fists were clenched..
“No, it wasn't just hugging, he didn't even like making eye contact like he did now..”
“No, this is…….”
Now, this is just because I'm a master at it.…….
“Do you hate girls that much??”
“No, I don't hate it.…….”
“Because we come from a lowly merchant family? Buy your fiancee's place with money? If I hold you in my arms, I'm afraid you'll smell something unpleasant like metal.?”
Something flowed down Serenade’s white cheeks. uh?
It was a transparent water drop.
Serenade is... … therefore… … was crying.
i froze.
Oh my god! I really don't have any knowledge on how to deal with something like this.!
“I never expected your love from the beginning.”
Serenade looked up at me sobbing without even thinking about wiping her tears..
“i know. You don't want to mix the noble royal blood with such a lowly and dirty woman. But even if it's a contractual relationship, even if it's decided by adults, we've made a pact to become a couple..”
“…….”
“I am giving everything I have to you, but why do you... … You don't even look at the girl directly.?”
I wanted to say something to comfort him, but I couldn't say it easily..
The relationship between Ash and Serenade was a relationship between strangers that I didn't know about..
Is it okay for me, who is just a possessed player, to hastily get involved in this relationship??
Wouldn't that end up hurting this person even more in the future??
While I was frozen in hesitation, Serenade wiped away her tears and turned her head away..
“I'm tired of begging for your attention and affection like this.…….”
“…….”
“I'm sorry. I guess you were all alone, dragging your feet, complaining, and losing affection again..”
“No, that means I…….”
“It's been a while since I last saw you, so I guess I was just excited and my emotions got stronger. sorry.”
Breathe in and wave your hands like a true serenade.
The captain of the yacht turned the bow toward the port..
“It's pretty late. No matter how good the imperial capital's security is, it is dangerous for members of the royal family to walk the streets alone. I'll prepare a carriage, so take it back..”
“…….”
“If you need anything, please send me a message. With the festival just around the corner, the Imperial Capital will become chaotic. Don't wander around at night like this for a while.…….”
Serenade was about to say more, but stopped in shock..
“Oh, you hated nagging..”
“…….”
“haha. How. Does this go against your taste from beginning to end?.”
I was silent, and it didn't take long for the ship to return to port..
“I'm sorry for being so cocky today, my friend..”
Serenade bowed deeply towards me..
“Forget about today and relax like before... … Please come to me when you need money or alcohol..”
“…….”
“Well then, go in carefully..”
Serenade smiled with a tear-stained face..
“The girl was happy to be able to see her husband..”
***
In the carriage returning to the imperial palace.
I continued to be lost in thought..
Anyway, the architect and top line that I was trying to get from the imperial capital were secured..
The Winter Silver Merchant Marine, the largest merchant merchant in the empire, is something you can trust..
Crossroads' tourist city plan and independent Maseok distribution line will be able to be carried out easily..
but.
‘person.’
An unexpected problem arose.
‘It's always hard for people.’
Crossroads never thought about this problem..
Because my relationships with almost all people were built up by me starting from zero base..
‘Because it was a relationship between ‘me’ and not ‘Ash’.
But here in New Terra, the ecliptic, all relationships belong to Ash..
Not only the emperor and princes, but also the chamberlain and servants, and even the fiancée I met today. This is the human relationship that Ash has built up..
Do you mind if I touch this??
Even if I try my hand at it, will I be able to lead it in the right direction??
Relationships between people are like Jenga puzzles.
Rather than stacking them up endlessly, you take out the pillars in between and place them on top..
If you build it up as high as possible and then stop, the relationship will remain stable..
But now I'm wondering whether I should get my hands on the precarious Jenga puzzle Ash has been building up..
Whether the tower gets taller or falls down, problems can arise either way..
‘What should I do?…….’
I wrapped my head and thought about it..
- Why did you... … You don't even look at the girl directly.?
The image of Serenade crying out mournfully with tears flowing from her silver eyes came to mind..
‘after,’
It's not just a matter of serenades.
I have come to the ecliptic, and I have to keep running into Ash's people. Then you need to clearly decide on your stance..
Don't touch it at all.
or not…….
‘Everything about Ash... … Either I carry it or.’
I kept my mouth shut..
Anyway, up until now, I had considered Ash a stranger. I thought you were a separate person from me..
Can I accept someone else's life as my own??
Do I really have the determination to do that??
It was then.
thud!
Suddenly the carriage stopped..
“huh?”
I looked out the window in confusion..
The imperial palace is not visible. This is a dark back alley. what? Did the carriage break down??
At that time, the coachman got off the coach seat and walked back..
“Hey, what's going on?…….”
Suddenly!
Before I could ask the coachman anything, he opened the carriage door, grabbed me by the collar, and pulled me out..
“what-?!”
At the same time, threw it away.
I was suddenly floating in the air and screamed without realizing it..
“Wow?! What are you doing??!”
Craddangtangtang!
Still, perhaps because I had some time to wander around the dungeon and wallow in defense, I corrected my posture in the air and sat down on the ground. crackling!
“What kind of reckless bastard dares-!”
I looked ahead while shouting and stopped talking..
Gooooo……!
Standing in front of me was a woman dressed as a maid carrying a huge coffin..
elise.
Serenade's subordinate was the driver who brought me to the imperial palace..
And a terrible spirit was emanating from her whole body..
The materialized force created a wind in the area, fluttering the skirt of her maid's uniform..
“His Royal Highness Prince Ash.”
Elise's deep navy blue eyes were full of eerie anticipation..
Like a finely forged blade, an example.
“you are trash.”
“yes, yes?!”
Without realizing it, I asked myself a polite question. Why, why are you like this all of a sudden??!
“10My master has devoted himself to you since he became engaged to you two years ago. If you needed money for gambling, he lent it to you, and if you wanted to drink famous liquor from around the world, he gave it to you. Most of the evil you did in the imperial capital was not dealt with by the imperial family, but by our Wintersilver leader with money..”
Crackling.
Elise's teeth were gritted violently..
“I hated seeing you like that, but I held back. It was the wish of the previous merchant family to establish ties with the imperial family and rid themselves of the stigma of being a lowly merchant family.…….”
Boom-!
Elise aimed the huge tube she was wearing on her back forward..
“Because my master, Lady Serenade, loves you.”
“…….”
“However, we cannot tolerate this any longer. You will only cause harm to our top. Above all, it only hurts my master..”
The anticipation emanating from Elise’s body became clearer..
“To repay the kindness owed to the previous Master of the Sangdan, and for the rest of my beloved Master's life..”
And Elise said,.
“you should die here.”
I'm going to kill the royal family..
He declared that he would fight here..
I didn't know if this was an act of twisted loyalty or what, but I quickly pulled the staff out of my arms..
‘Holy shit! How do I calm this situation down??!’
The mercenary guild has already figured out that Elise is an SSR level character. I don't know, but it's probably pretty strong..
‘Let's subdue it first.!’
However, I also defeated countless monsters and grew up through all kinds of hardships in the dungeon below the lake..
You will be able to easily defeat SSR level characters who have been living comfortably here in the imperial capital without even being able to fight in real battles..
……I thought so.
bang!
Elise suddenly slammed the coffin she was holding like a blunt weapon into the ground..
I opened my eyes wide. Eh? what are you doing?
and,
“swordsman, deployment.”
As Elise muttered, the coffin opened to the left and right..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
And inside the coffin, all kinds of swords were stored..
Great sword. Long sword. dagger. Rapier. Gok too. Park Do. Long sword. attitude…….
All of them were weapons of at least SR grade or higher..
‘This is crazy?!’
Only then did I realize Elise's identity and I opened my mouth..
I didn't think I'd ever seen Elise in a game. but it wasn't.
I just didn't recognize the maid's uniform because it was unfamiliar to me..
‘Why is Elizabeth, the funeral inspector, here?……?!’
A monster that is by far the strongest among all the swordsman characters that appear in.
Elizabeth, Undertaker of the Sword.
In the game, she appeared wearing a black undertaker outfit and an undertaker hat, so I didn't recognize her at all when she was dressed as a maid.……!
‘Holy shit, Lucas! I have to speak straight!’
The natural disaster was not my fiancee's serenade..
This woman, Serenade's escort, was Elizabeth.!
“We'll let you go without any pain.”
Elizabeth muttered darkly as she chose the sword to use at the swordsman's office..
“That's your consideration for the man who almost became your husband..”
Immediately afterwards, Elizabeth took out a serrated sword with a jagged saw blade..
“Oh, this would be nice..”
No, that looks really painful, that thing.-!
Whether I was scared or not, Elizabeth drew her serrated sword and charged at me..
It was seriously going to kill me..
