Chapter 72.1



A few dozen minutes after we dealt with Gamigin and his minions.

A large number of torch-wielding people from Ark arrived at the old castle ruins, perhaps to rescue us.

They were equipped with different types of weapons such as swords, shields, pitchforks and spears. They looked like witch hunters out for a hunt.

“Over here! Here!”

I briefed them on the situation like how Professor Balan used her students like living zombies.

That we managed to defeat Professor Balan.

And that there were survivors scattered around the area.

━There are more survivors here! Move quickly!

━The fortress collapsed, didn’t it? It would take more than half a day to get rid of this!

━Gorgor, work hard. Patient. Move human. Small. Little Life.

━Oh, that’s great! The rubble is being lifted!

Thanks to these people, the incident that had taken place in the old castle was somehow being sorted out.

However, me, Elga, and Mirna, who survived the chaos, had an uncomfortable atmosphere looming above our heads.

“Let’s go back for now. I want to wash up.”

I took the lead of Mirna, who had a somewhat detached look on her face, back to the dorms. Meanwhile, Elga was glaring at her.

My body was full of mucus and I was filled with a foul smell. I really wanted to wash and change into new clothes as soon as possible.

“Elga-nim, don’t you want to wash up too? You have a lot of dirt on you.”

“…….”

Being the one who has been fighting the monster for the longest time, Elga was also covered in dried slime and looked unsightly.

Elga looked down at her body and sighed helplessly.

“Alright, let’s wash up first. Theo, keep an eye on that Draco so she doesn’t run away, got it?”

“Okay.”

“… I won’t run away.”

That brought it to an end, somehow.

After finishing all maintenance, including shower, we all went into Mirna Draco’s single room.

Although it was called a ‘single’ person room, it was as spacious as the three-people rooms where me and my roommates were staying. Thus, there was no inconvenience.

“Why is the room so empty?”

While walking around, Elga saw that there were few things that could be called ‘furniture’ in such a large space.

Because Mirna Draco’s private room only had a bed, a sofa, a bookshelf and a closet.

… But wasn’t that enough?

“Isn’t there like a beer dispenser here?”

“There’s none.”

“This room is boring~.”

… Was there a beer dispenser in Elga’s room?

It seemed that the benefits of a single room were quite good.

Seureuk.

Aira sat down on where it looked the fluffiest. She was also naturally positioned in the middle.

Because she was, well, a Queen.

Queen Aira then said.

“Something like a beer would be nice. Now, Mirna Draco, tell me what you know about Angmar.”

Elga then followed up with a threat as she sat on the sofa, “Yeah, you better not think about lying.” At this time, Mirna had also sat down in front of the two.

They were of equal distance from each other, thus forming a perfect equilateral triangle.

I couldn’t bu†† in such a confrontation, and simply decided to just stand by the sofa and listen. However, I couldn’t hold my position for long.

“Theo, I’m tired after working all day, massage my shoulders.”

Aira had ordered me to give her a shoulder massage, so I had to stand behind her and comply.

Seeing this, Elga’s eyebrows wrinkled at Aira.

“Working all day? You didn’t do anything. In fact, I did all the hard work. Say, what did you do?”

At Elga’s questioning, Aira clicked her tongue.

“I studied the shape of the clouds outside today. I was able to realize that Gracia’s clouds were not much different from Angmar.”

… She was looking at the sky in boredom, while we had to struggle for our lives?

However, only a third-rate character would correct that.

Since I was a first-class actor, I spoke skillfully to Aira instead.

“As expected of the Queen. Possessing the utmost willingness to continue learning, despite already having perfect wisdom. It’s something everyone should aspire for.”

“Of course, he who stands above can learn from anything. Only when you find something to learn from ants crawling on the ground can you call yourself a ruler.”

Aira’s eyes then turned to Mirna, who was quietly drinking tea alone.

“That’s the way it is. Now, Mirna Draco, tell your Queen what you know.”

Aira was very confident.

“Did you not recognize the authority of the Tarantera Family before, because a descendant of the Angmar Family survived somewhere?”

“…….”

Mirna was silent for a moment, and did not answer Aira’s sharp question immediately.

Aira was usually unpredictable when it came to what she was thinking, but there were times when she could simply be as venomous as a spider’s fangs.

Clink.

Mirna Draco put down her teacup.

“It is. Angmar’s blood still flows somewhere in this world.”

Hearing so, Elga banged on the table.

“So, why were you hiding it? By concealing it, doesn’t that mean you’re betraying us? What were you doing behind our backs?”

“What would I be planning? And betrayal? In the first place, the Draco Family did not join hands with you. We simply held hands with another Angmar.”

“That doesn’t make any sense-.”

“Elga.”

Having noticed that Elga’s heat was quickly boiling, Aira raised her hand and cut the tempo of the story for a moment.

“My cousin, don’t use words that are too strong. It will make you look weak instead.”

“Ha.”

Soon, Elga clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like any of this. She then turned her head sideways with her arms crossed.

Hearing this must be really frustrating for Elga.

I knew very well that just not slapping Mirna in the face right now was already pretty patient for her.

Though, the one in question, Mirna, was calmly sipping her tea.

“The Draco Family indeed helped in defeating Demon King Solomon. But that’s because we wanted to put another Angmar in his place. It’s the only reason why we temporarily joined hands with you.”

Aha, that was right!

Mirna’s explanation gave me an epiphany and, suddenly, the pieces in my head began to fit into each other.

This was the reason for the sophistry that although the Draco Family helped subdue the Demon King, it couldn’t be seen as them betraying the Angmar Family.

They rebelled against Demon King Solomon, but had planned to have another Angmar take his place, which was not betraying the ‘Angmar Family’.

Seureuk.

Just then, Aira crossed her legs and said.
