What exactly is unauthorized intrusion?
I frowned, unable to hide my bad feeling, while an unignorable event was happening before my eyes.
It usually starts with the troublemakers.
'Ah?'
Someone shouted from between the two groups who were staring at each other.
“You wicked witches!”
What the magicians used was definitely not offensive magic.
They may be trying to push an opponent too close or block space.
Even though I'm a fake witch, at least I feel that way.
But that sharp scream made the tense atmosphere swell like a bomb in an instant.
“He thinks we are stupid so we remain silent!”
“If it wasn’t for His Majesty’s order, we wouldn’t have let you act so arrogantly!”
"You always act like something was stolen from you.
We bet our lives every day fighting monsters.
Do you like that!
You narrow-minded person!"
This is not true.
No matter what you think, this is not true.
I took a step forward.
If the terrified Louis had not run to me and clung to me, I would have done so.
The system window has just been warned.
Something about unknown interference.
'Does he mean the invisible ones?'
So, one of them might be a troublemaker.
'Maybe they were mixed up among wizards or awakened ones.'
I narrowed my eyes and observed the situation.
After this damned event ends today and I return, I must suggest to the Emperor to check on the mages and awakened ones.
“We have known all along that you, the Duchess, use malicious methods!”
Someone mentioned Louis then.
Shrapnel was also scattered on me.
“You deliberately go around the prince to pressure us, don’t we know your intentions!”
I brought Loias to the palace only because of my promise with their master, the Emperor.
Because I felt pity for this child surrounded by the wizards of the tower and feeling lonely.
Anyway, even that annoying cold esper, Kaysis, relents in front of his little brother!
But before I could speak, the witches became angry.
“Can’t you keep your mouth shut!
Who would think we would want to take care of the prince you cherish!”
“If you are better, take him from our hands immediately!”
Bajijek─ Energy emanated.
And I got angry.
These really are.
The child hears everything!
“Shut your mouths─”
I would scream “Shut up!”
If it doesn't work, I'll use attack magic and endure the pain.
Because I saw the little boy crying when he was on the cutting board.
What do dirty adults do in front of a child?
But the incident finally exploded.
“Ahh!”
The two amplified forces collided violently, producing an unexpected result.
The energies of the Awakened and the magicians' mana mixed and began to explode like bombs.
Ping, pong!
"Ah, ah!
It's on fire!"
“Damn, don't turn off, ah!”
“My leg, my leg!”
It became a mess in an instant.
The wizards, of course, suffered as well, due to the mixing of mana.
'Not an attack, but a defense that should have been used?'
She immediately grabbed Louis's hand.
I was thinking of embracing him and protecting him with my body.
I know it's not the behavior of a duchess, and that it's strange to receive it in my body without magic, but I didn't have time to think.
Because I met the child's big, rippling eyes.
I would scream his name out loud.
It seemed that a powerful awakener was present, and his energy exploded.
“This is like an explosion, no, impossible!”
Following the tense scream, a black light exploded for a moment.
It turned into a huge fireball and flew towards us.
Exactly towards Louis's little body, a step away from me.
I tried to stop him.
I pulled him into my arms to protect him.
But……
‘Ah.’
It looked like a portal.
The open-mouthed, flying pillar of fire looks like an exploding gate.
The scene at my death.
Terrifying pressure.
'I will die.'
Screams fill the place, and terrifying esper energies explode in every direction.
'I'll be crushed like this.'
I felt a shiver run down my spine and my feet froze.
I felt as if the monster that killed me from the gate was approaching behind me.
My heart sank and I wanted to scream.
Hello.
A large tear rolled from Louis's eyes.
"no."
I extended my hand slightly towards Louis and stared at him stupidly, bordering on the threat of death.
The thrown energy approached, warming my cheeks.
Maybe someone thought of me like that.
The Duchess did not save the prince.
It drove him to death.
You didn't do anything.
"truly."
Your quads!
With a harsh sound, a massive ice pillar popped out.
“An exciting scene.”
A cold sound rang out, and the water and ice violently hit the people.
Ah, ah!
Screams different from before, and a terrifying smell of blood.
The man who looked at the awakened and fallen wizards with cold eyes.
The man who appeared exuding incomparably terrifying power of mixed energies seemed to me like a portal monster.
My tongue froze and my heart contracted.
His icy eyes shot an arrow at me.
A clear look of blame.
He looked at his pale, trembling brother next to him, then stared at me as if he were tearing me apart.
'I looked like I was doing nothing.'
It was not the time to explain away misunderstandings.
Kwajek!
A pillar of ice popped up at my feet.
It ran mercilessly across the back of my hand.
With the pain of tearing the skin, blood dripping.
I heard screams of astonishment from the fallen wizards, and the awakened ones, recovering with astonishing strength, screamed as well.
The Emperor attacked me.
I kept my expression from distorting, and calmly raised my bloody hand.
But my heart beats like it's going to explode.
This man attacked me.
The man who kissed me gently with the movements of a feather was a nocturnal illusion.
Mocking myf rose.
He seemed to have misunderstood that as well, so Casey broke his ice and came towards me.
Imposing height, large body, and spreading energies.
All of this brought back the shock of death.
Ah, yes.
Today is a really bad day.
“The Duchess.”
A voice colder than ever, even when I woke up in this world and grabbed his collar.
“Louis.”
I gritted my teeth.
“You intended to kill my brother and your student?”
His dark, reptilian eyes sparkled with murder.
If I say the wrong word, the ice will straight through my heart.
No, he won't kill the Duchess here, but a hole somewhere is possible.
I hated pain.
I really hated him...
'But this must be apologized for.'
It was definitely something to be angry about.
Louis's hurt and shaken appearance also saddens me.
Even if the magicians were disappointed by the Duchess's weakness.
Even if my unusual behavior was suspected, it was true.
“Your Majesty.”
I opened my mouth in front of the man who was smiling sarcastically as if he was saying, “Try any excuse.”
Exactly for the apology and explanation.
But at this very moment.
[WARNING!]
Oh, no.
[The character's identity is shaking!]
Not now.
[The confusion has exceeded the limit.
