Beautiful Her (2)
Synopsis of what’s to come: Legion and Rosemary harbor subtle feelings for each other. A grand party is held at Annabelle’s castle, but Rosemary isn’t particularly thrilled. She’d rather have a one-night dream with Legion.
Just then, Legion comes out to the terrace.
The castle interior is bustling, but the terrace where they are is very quiet.
They share a conversation and feel a sense of camaraderie.
Legion smiles brightly and makes a call somewhere using the magic item Galaxy.
Nuvyeo Nuvyeo, who was showering and happily heading to the bedroom to have a third child with his wife, frowned and answered the phone.
-Fly here immediately.
Legion’s voice was very low and calm, so Nuvyeo Nuvyeo tearfully flew at maximum speed.
Legion, along with Rosemary, rides Nuvyeo Nuvyeo to a high altitude where oxygen is scarce. He puts up a barrier to keep Rosemary from getting cold.
For the first time in her life, Rosemary realizes where she lives.
She seems quite shocked by the fact that she lives on a planet.
She’s very happy, like a child.
Rosemary’s cheeks were as red as a girl’s when she returned to the castle.
Nuvyeo Nuvyeo, returning, cursed inwardly.
Legion doesn’t feel sorry at all.
The subtle feelings develop further.
A torrential downpour began.
A lot of rain fell, and the bridge to Poman was lost, cutting off the castle.
Until the rain stopped, they had no choice but to stay at Annabelle’s castle.
Annabelle throws lavish parties every day to win Rosemary’s favor, but her heart is already with Legion.
The two enjoy dates, avoiding everyone’s eyes.
Legion, who had been conflicted between Monsengyeo and Rosemary, now thinks, “I need to live a new life too.”
He hopes Monsengyeo meets a good man and gets married.
Legion and Rosemary currently have very good feelings for each other.
Rosemary rests her head on Legion’s shoulder and watches the pouring rain.
“Once this rain stops, we won’t be able to see each other anymore, will we?”
Rosemary said sadly.
Legion couldn’t answer.
He could pretend to be crazy, grab Rosemary, and run away.
But then the Baroque Kingdom would be devastated by the Empire. No matter how much he liked her, Legion wasn’t brave enough to sacrifice everything to the Empire.
*Someone says.*
If you love, give up everything.
He doesn’t have the confidence to do that.
The moment he takes Rosemary’s hand and goes somewhere…
The entire territory of the kingdom will burn.
He has to clench his teeth and soothe his aching heart.
Legion and Rosemary shed tears and shared their first kiss.
That day-
Someone attacked Rosemary while she was sleeping.
Legion is the first to rush over. He had deliberately chosen to stay in the room next to hers.
He burst through the wall and captured the assassins. The assassins were horrified to see Legion appearing through the wall. They were so dumbfounded that they briefly forgot their mission to eliminate Rosemary.
In the meantime, Legion captured the assassins.
Realizing that things had gone wrong, the assassins committed suicide.
They melted away like water, emitting a foul odor.
The rain continues to fall.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that something strange was about to happen.
P.S. Legion and Rosemary are flirting.
* * *
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
The face of the head of the Secretariat Knights was flushed red. In fact, he had been drinking, feeling relieved. He never expected anyone to attack in the castle of the lord who ruled the commercial city of Conjuring.
While blaming himself, he was also angry at the lord for not securing the castle properly.
And he was furious at Duke Legion, who commanded all of them.
“I’m fine. I was just a little surprised.”
Rosemary waved her hand with her usual beautiful smile.
Her eyes turn into half-moons like a puppy when she smiles. Many men’s hearts flutter involuntarily when they see her smiling face.
Although not often, the Emperor of the Empire sometimes has meals with his children three or four times a year.
The Emperor of the Empire is said to have laughed heartily when he saw Rosemary’s smiling face.
“You are not strong. You don’t have conviction. You don’t have the power to pioneer the future. But you won’t die. Your betrothed will risk his life for you.”
The Emperor said.
Rosemary herself didn’t understand the Emperor’s words. But all the men who heard the Emperor’s words understood the meaning at once.
Any man who has ever encountered Rosemary would understand what it meant.
The Secretariat, presuming from Rosemary’s slightly sad smile, was furious and jumped up from his seat.
“What on earth! How are you guarding this place? The princess was greatly startled!”
“I’m sorry.”
Vase Ravap stepped forward.
He knew from experience that it would be better for him to step forward than for the energetic young people to do so, as he could have a calm conversation.
Often, the perpetrator and the victim are ambiguous. The victim gets angry and pressures the perpetrator.
If the perpetrator is smart, they will apologize and try to resolve the situation amicably.
But in the heat of the moment, if they say, ‘You weren’t really harmed either. Just a scratch on that carriage! I’ll compensate you! But why are you cursing at me!’ the situation escalates uncontrollably.
It was only a matter of time before fists started flying.
Moreover, it was Duke Legion.
The unofficial strongest in the kingdom.
Some people still recognize the kingdom’s 7 strongest as the strongest.
But anyone who knows Legion doesn’t deny that he is the strongest.
Of course, a considerable number of warriors also consider Dreiser to be the strongest.
But what good is that?
Both are Grand Masters [individuals who have mastered their craft].
Vase Ravap thought so, but the warriors didn’t seem to agree.
They were quite curious about who was the strongest between Legion and Dreiser.
Everyone knows that Dreiser is Legion’s vassal [a subordinate or dependent]. Unless he becomes independent from Legion, the result is unlikely to be known.
Even the Empire doesn’t have many Grand Master-level experts.
Maybe none at all.
The Empire has never announced who the Grand Masters are.
Other countries thought that the Empire had at least one and at most three Grand Masters.
Of course-
The probability of the head of the Secretariat Knights being a Grand Master was very low. Unless, like in some novels or movies, the Grand Master falls in love with the princess and lives as her lifelong bodyguard.
The knight of the Empire would be beaten just enough not to die.
Is Legion the kind of person who considers the other person’s circumstances? No. He’s the type to finish things completely so that the other person never dares to challenge him again.
The head of the Secretariat Knights would have the most bitter experience of his life.
That’s why Vase Ravap stepped forward.
When the prime minister of a country stepped forward, the head of the Secretariat Knights could no longer raise his voice.
He knew that he had to protect at least the minimum amount of pride, even if it was a small country.
There was no need to foster resentment.
Still, he couldn’t help but be angry.
At that moment, Rosemary grabbed the arm of the head of the Secretariat Knights.
The Secretariat looked at Rosemary. His eyes were filled with pity. She didn’t deserve this treatment.
She didn’t deserve to be sold off like an object.
Rosemary shook her head. *I’m fine.*
“I understand.”
The Secretariat took a deep breath and turned to Vase Ravap.
“They are the ones who will become the king’s bride. Please pay special attention to their safety.”
“I’m sorry. I will make sure that not even a fingernail touches the princess.”
Vase Ravap pleaded deeply.
Legion secretly used scan magic. He searched the surroundings thoroughly, but there were no signs of intrusion from the outside.
That meant that someone inside had turned into an intruder.
He looked around.
Everyone except Vase Ravap was unreliable. But he couldn’t just grab them one by one and interrogate them.
Count Annabelle increased the security net around the castle tenfold, preparing for any possible situation.
Legion thought it was an overreaction. Instead of increasing the security net, it would be better to install another barrier using magic stones.
He was about to say that, but he didn’t.
That bastard had been glaring at him with fierce eyes ever since that day. He was annoyed and didn’t want to talk to that guy.
And-
Rosemary was there for him to protect.
Kugurrr! Kung!
Lightning flashed outside the window. It had been raining non-stop for three days.
The harvest was just around the corner. A considerable amount of farmland was flooded.
The farmers couldn’t sleep and were struggling to drain the water out.
Some farmers were swept away by the heavy rain. Their families went to the guards protecting the city and asked them to find their husbands and fathers who had disappeared.
But even the guards couldn’t move rashly right now.
They couldn’t approach the river through the torrential rain. The river had swollen as much as it could.
The bridge leading to the outside was already submerged in the river. It was often called a submerged bridge because it happened frequently.
But it had never been submerged in the river for days like it was now.
Urrrg! Kwang! Kwang!
The rain continues to fall.
* * *
Underground of the castle.
The stench of blood was overwhelming. No one would know that there was such a place in the castle.
This was the core area of the castle. Illusion magic and multiple boundary magic were installed so that no one could come here.
Dozens of men and women were hanging upside down naked. Their arms were drooping.
Ropes were tied to their ankles, so they swayed, but they didn’t move.
They had no heads.
It wasn’t visible where they had gone.
The blood from the severed heads was drained to create a pond.
In the past, it was known that in order to perform black magic, a catalyst had to be made with the blood of humans who resembled the appearance of gods.
But in recent years, that custom has disappeared. There are plenty of alternatives that can be made, so why would anyone go crazy and become a murderer?
If you want to become a black magician, you can go to a department store and buy an alternative called ‘Human Blood’.
Occasionally, in uncivilized areas, they use goat’s blood instead of human blood.
But in the kingdom that was one step ahead in magic, that was not necessary.
Nevertheless-
Right now, this place was creating a magic circle with real human blood, not an alternative.
Annabelle took off her clothes and entered the pond in the middle of the magic circle.
The blood reached up to her waist, sloshing around. She smeared the blood on her face as if she were washing it.
The followers stood around the pentagram.
Annabelle looked back at the followers and said.
“Soon the world will be destroyed!”
“It will be destroyed!”
The followers repeated Annabelle’s words.
Their gloomy voices filled the underground temple.
“We will take the first step!”
“We will take it!”
Annabelle swallowed a small jewel she had received from the Archbishop. Then her body reacted violently, synchronizing with some kind of power.
“Keuheok!”
Red light poured out from her seven orifices.
Something wriggled up from the pool of blood. It was a giant tentacle.
It wasn’t just one tentacle.
All kinds of tentacles swelled up like balloons, thrashing around in the pool of blood.
In the meantime, Annabelle stood firm. Her back swelled up greatly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All kinds of monsters popped out as her skin tore.
Nevertheless, Annabelle didn’t seem to be in any pain at all.
“Kuaaaaa! They are coming! They are coming!”
Annabelle’s laughter, filled with madness, filled the underground temple.
The expressions of the followers who were helping to operate the magic circle also gradually hardened. They had expected what would happen.
But expecting it and experiencing it directly were on different levels.
They opened the gate to the Demon World using Annabelle’s body as a catalyst.
The world where the Black Dragon originally lived.
Life forms from another dimension that are completely separated from humans.
Annabelle and the apostles temporarily opened the gates of hell.
In the middle of the city.
Shuaaaaa!
The rain was pouring down.
Hell had opened deep underground, but no one noticed it.
