As Frilite is a VIP, the size of her room and bed are large.

So she put two pillows

to keep her spacious bed from looking empty.
may have been put Or maybe it's the one that frillite holds when she sleeps.

But for some reason, Lorian felt that wasn't the case.

Lorian remembered.
The favorable attitude that Frilite showed toward Cloud.

“Everyone… you…”

I didn't want to ask and I wasn't sure I could ask, but I had to ask.

Lorian opened his trembling lips.

“Maybe… are you sleeping with me…?”

Then the two

His gaze returned to Lorian. As he looked at him, he thought. I'd rather be angry.
as she frowned at her fine brow
I want you to be angry, saying that you are insulting yourself. But reality did not
go in the direction he wanted.

“But?”

Frilite answered without changing her expression. The low-pitched voice was
like asking why you were asking for a natural story, and it sounded like it had
anything to do with you.

Lorian's eyebrows twitched.

“Is that so..? Frillite, do you know what you are talking about?”

"Know."

“Because you know… are you saying that knowingly?! Did you know that you did
that!”

Frylite had everything that Lorian didn't have.

One of the most prestigious names in the continent.

A power of unknown depth.
Even the invincible power that he had as a result.

To him, frillite was like a flower on a cliff.

A beautiful and noble flower that no one can pick.

I knew it was going to be hard to get. I thought that even if I couldn't have
it, I couldn't help it. But he never imagined it would fall into anyone else's
hands.

Even more so if that someone is someone he hates.

Lorian was now feeling an indescribable sense of anger and betrayal.

Looking at Lorian like that, Frilite put on an expression that she couldn't
understand.
 “What’s so strange about sleeping with your fiancé?”

“Hey, engaged?!”

Lorian was astonished.

An aristocrat's engagement is not determined solely by individual will.

Marriage of nobility is a bond between family and family. Even if it was a
frillite, it would have to get permission from the state of California.

'Is the headmaster allowed?'

In the not too distant past, Lorian had sent a letter to the head of the
Ferdiak family, asking him to arrange a marriage with Frylite.

He waited eagerly for an answer, but no reply came.

It wasn't until later that I heard that the headmaster had thrown the letter
away as soon as he read it.

Because of that, Lorian couldn't believe it any more.

'how?'

Although the same warrior, Cloud is a commoner.

It means that there is a gap between heaven and earth with frillite.

Did Gaju accept Cloud like that as a son-in-law?

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't believe it.

“…what is it?”

And I was angry.

As a royal family member of a kingdom, he was arrogant and accepted Cloud, a
commoner, as a member of the family.
Lorian, united with a sense of choice, felt a strong sense of inferiority.

“Why is it that man and not me?”

Frillite's forehead twitched as Lorian chewed his anger and barely uttered the
words.

"What?"

“I asked why it was that child and not me!”

Lorian shouted.

“I knew you before that man. I recognized your beauty first. I first recognized
your stubbornness. I had affection for you first, and that was more than that-”

"stop."

Frillite interrupted Lorian's words, which were pouring like rapid-fire cannons
in an unfair heart. It wasn't until her cold voice reached her ear that Lorian
realized what he was talking about.

He hurriedly covered his mouth with the palm of his hand, but the words that
had already been uttered were not something he could pick up and serve.

Lorian carefully looked at Frylite's expression.

Unsurprisingly, she was glaring at him with contemptuous eyes.

“I knew that you had a crush on me to some extent. But I didn't know you were
thinking like that."

“Oh, no…”

Lorian was trying to explain something. But Frilite did not give him time to do
so.

“Say it outright. I'm not interested in you. Both as reason and as a human
being, it is the same in every way.”

In the past, I did care to some extent.

As the same hero, it was necessary to monitor whether Lorian was acting more
vicious than necessary, and also to ensure that he did not die to keep his oath.
But not now.
The oath became meaningless.
Because of the viciousness of none other than Gis and Lorian.
Cloud committed suicide and took its shell by a human from another world.

Since the oath became meaningless, Frilite felt no value from Gis and Lorian.

“No, I’m not interested, so it’s even disgusting. You are an extortioner
covered in the fault of being a hero.”

Gis is someone else's

He enjoyed stealing women. She did not hesitate to rape her if conciliation and
intimidation did not work. As a result, a normal family is destroyed, or a
relationship
I didn't mind falling apart. Rather, I enjoyed watching it.

Lorian is more

because?

because he's a warrior

Because it is a divine being who will defeat the Demon King and save mankind.

In a world of clear identity, they were like beings inviolable.

Therefore, the emperor and the pope passed over all the sins they committed.
Frilite also tried to pretend that she didn't see her on the pretext that it was
because of her oath.

Each time she did, she felt terribly disgusted with her hypocrisy, which, along
with her own lack of incompetence, contributed to the exhaustion of her mind.

"It's horrifying that you love me like that..."

 Because of this, Frilite couldn't see Lorian well. Every time he talked about
her affection for her, it felt like her parasites were running through her body.

It's disgusting, disgusting, and disgusting.

The urge to slash the thing in front of me with a greatsword shakes my head.
But Frillite did not give in to her impulses.

Either way, Lorian will die.

I don't know if it's a good hound who listens well, or who will keep a hound
that bites even after the hunt is over?

Whether by the Empire, by a third party, or by her own killing, Lorian will
surely die after defeating the Demon King.

But he has work to do before he dies.

As a hound pays for his food by hunting, he, as a hero, has to pay for the
benefits he has received by defeating the Demon King.

If he died comfortably without fulfilling his duty, it would be an insult to

the victims.

Therefore, Frilite swallowed an impulse so strong that her fingertips shook,

and issued a cold warning to Lorian.

"go away. And never appear before my eyes again. Don't even think about looking
at me, and don't even think about me. Erase the existence of me from your mind.”

With that, Frilite turned her back. She was adamant, as if she didn't want to
mix her words any more.

“F, Frilite..!”

You must not leave like this. If that's the case, it's really all over.

Lorian instinctively felt so, and reached out towards her to avoid ruin.
However, that hand could not reach Frylite and was held by another strong hand.

it was Cloud

“Are you in moderation?”

"What..?"

“It’s ugly enough now, so don’t get any more ugly and just go.”

A face looking at a pathetic thing.

Lorian's face contorted even more.

“What do you care if I get ugly or not?”

“It doesn’t matter. Unless the person you talk to is my woman.”

my woman.
At that blatant word, Lorian suddenly rolled his eyes.
 “This humble thing!”

Lorian leans back

He reached out towards him, but his hand cut through the air. It was done
instinctively because it was a familiar movement, but unfortunately, today
the car didn't come While he felt frustrated, Cloud used the 'Ogre's Glyph'. I put
the power overflowing with the effect of the pattern into my fist
I put it on Lorian's stomach.

- Whoops!

“Cuckoo…!”

It was an attack close to a surprise attack, and Lorian wasn't even wearing
armor. His casual clothes made of high-quality materials may prevent cuts on the
skin from cutlery, but cannot prevent the impact of a blunt weapon.

And suddenly, Cloud's fist, whose level was higher than Lorian's, and his
strength stats popped up with the ogre's pattern, had a power that far exceeded his
blunt weapon.

- Woodduck.

It was not unusual for Lorian's ribs to crack.

Cloud grabbed Lorian's neck, who couldn't stand the shock and staggered. As
Cloud walked forward in that state, Lorian had no choice but to take a step
backwards to keep him focused.

thud.

Soon enough, he was pushed to the wall.

“You bastard..!”

Lorian in shame
He blushed and tried to attack Cloud. Although he doesn't have a weapon, he has
learned martial arts as well. It was close, and his neck was
As long as you hold onto it, you won't be able to avoid the attack. You can dodge
it by letting go, but that's not bad in its own way.

However, Cloud's instinctively extended fist was much faster than the fist that
Lorian was making decisions with his head and wielding it.

- Whoops! Woodduck!

“Ouch!”

A duller sound than before.

The cracks in the ribs were worse than before. Even the slightest shock would
cause it to break and pierce the lungs.
Cloud placed his palms on those ribs and pressed them down with very slight
pressure.
A terrible, indescribable pain struck Lorian.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

Lorian screamed loudly, as if it couldn't be more painful than this. He looked

a bit ferocious for being a warrior, but he couldn't help it.
 Because Lorian wasn't intolerant of pain.
He was born strong and was rarely seriously injured as he wore excellent armor
with his family's money.
Because he was strong, he was not immune to pain.
Ironically, Cloud didn't care.

Frillite's room had soundproofing magic, so there were no escorts to come in

after hearing the screams, so I just watched Lorian's painful expression and slowly
tightened his neck.

“Creepy..! Whoops..!”

I can't breathe properly, so I can't even scream.

Cloud freed him as his eyeballs were about to roll over from Lorian's whitening
face.

“Cool... huh… huh… huh…”

Lorian, sitting still, coughed a few times and then took a deep breath. He was
in pain even then, so he had to take a break.

Cloud squatted down in front of Lorian.

He said looking into his eyes.

"get out. If you don't want to die."

“...”

Lorian bit his lip in anger. But he did not rebel any further. He scrambled to
his feet and stood up, then slowly opened the door and walked outside.

* * *

As Lorian left, Frilite sighed as if she was holding back the rising
irritation. She then said that she suddenly kissed me and wanted to be alone for a
while.

I guess I was worried that I might be getting my anger out for nothing.

Understanding her feelings, I returned to my room, and there was an unexpected

guest in the room.

“Lauren?”

Laurenne, she was sitting on the bed in her fur coat.

He came to me when he was ready, and that seems to have been today.
She bowed her head and looked at the floor, but when she heard my voice, she
got up.

“...”

The atmosphere of her approaching me without a word was foreign. It's something
unusual. I waited patiently for her to come.

Then she stopped right in front of me.

The pungent smell of blood stung your nostrils.

Why does she smell blood?
 That question disappeared from my mind as Laurenne's thick fur coat flew down.

Blood-soaked white bra.

The ship below it protruded like a small hill.

It was not as large as that of full term, but the meaning of the smooth curve
was clear.

"Cloud."

Lauren calls my name.

Not in a voice full of drugs from the past, but in a self-help and powerless
voice.
With my head raised, what caught my eye was not a young girl who hated losing
but was not honest, but a woman who had given up on her life because she was so
tired of it.

She said with empty eyes.

“I am pregnant.”

It was not long after returning to the Kingdom of Kalita after 'that day'.
Laurene noticed her anomaly that had unfolded in her own body.

“The moon doesn’t come..?”

one day per month.

There were no menstrual events that made women extremely unpleasant. It's not
that she likes mooncakes, but that she doesn't happen at all is another matter.

It's a huge problem that can't even be compared with the pain you feel in your
lower abdomen.

An affair with Cloud flashed through Laurenne's mind. It was a violent night
that I never thought about contraception. Her complexion turned pale.

“Hey, I’ve definitely checked the fertility period…? I mean, they didn't let
you pack it inside on a dangerous day...!"

Something must be wrong.

Or she misunderstood the lunar cycle.

“Yeah, that’s for sure. Yes!”

However, even after waiting for two more weeks, there was no sign of coming.

“You must be ill. It must have been that I had a strange disease that I did not
know.”

If you are sick, you should go to a doctor or a priest. Parliamentarians and

priests staying in the royal palace will quickly recognize what kind of disease
they are due to their excellent skills.

But Laurenne did not visit them.

It's because of the anxiety that 'what if it's not a disease' rises from the
side of my heart.
 And it wasn't long before I confirmed that my anxiety wasn't wrong.

Lunch brought by the servant.

“Wow..!”

I couldn't stand the fishy smell of the meat and I was nauseous. At that moment
she realized. That she can no longer turn away from the truth while making excuses.

* * *

A noble marriage is a family union. Two different families form an alliance

through marriage. Therefore, the opinions of the parties to the marriage are not
considered.

An important issue in choosing a marriage partner is the family's ancestry, the

intertwined silver won between the families, and the family's honor.

If they are satisfied, the family will marry the members of the family without
delay.

So, in the extreme, their marriage can be said to be a business that expands
the power of the family.

And royalty is no exception.

On the contrary, it can be said that it is more demanding than ordinary nobles
because of their noble status.

'what should we do? What should I do?!'

So Laurenne was in confusion. Her pregnancy was already half-confirmed. She has
had the child of her estranged man who is not her husband.

No. In this case, he cannot be called an outsider.

Because she's not married. She didn't even have a fiance. But she may never get
a fiance for the rest of her life if this becomes known.

It is not enough for not keeping the chastity, so who is going to take
responsibility for a woman who has even become pregnant?

...No, there may be.

The family is not bad, but there are some major flaws, so men who cannot get
married.

Laurenne remembered the men who were married to the daughters of her father's
concubines. Her family was splendid, but both were old or ugly in appearance.

Naturally, they did not want to marry such a man as they had eyes, and they
actually knelt in front of their father and prayed that their hands would become
their feet.

-Father, please... Please look at me...! It's okay if you don't look good. Even
if I'm short, I won't do anything. Just... just marry an ordinary man!!

-If you want to give up everything you enjoy as a member of the royal family,
then do it.
 - Well, that's...

- Can't you? Then this story is over. Hello. Take this child out.

- Oh, Father! It's my father!!!!!!!

However, the will of her father and the king of Kalita was resolute. Laurenne
has never forgotten her scream that day when her half-sister was dragged away.

'Oh, no... I hate it...!'

She went to Lorian's party to follow her brother, but at the same time to delay
the marriage.

She didn't want to marry someone she didn't even want.

My body trembled at the thought that arranged marriage, which I hated so much,
might return in the worst form.

Then, when I remembered something, I was stunned.

'If caught... a child?'

Lauren, she won't die. Although there is a defect, it is definitely from the
royal lineage. She may receive a heavy punishment for tarnishing her family's
honor, but she does not die.

But the case of children is different.

The father will regard the child as a family shame caused by her deviance.
They'll try to clear it before the scandal arises.

The weak maternal love that occurred at the same time as she found out she was
pregnant did not want it. I want my child to be as safe as possible.

'If you secretly give birth...'

Maybe I could secretly give birth and adopt him somewhere else.

Although I may never see a child in my life...

Laurenne sighed.

“That can’t be possible…”

she is a princess An existence that attracts attention from all kinds of people
just by breathing. It is safe to say that there is no possibility that such a
person could hide the fact of pregnancy until full term and secretly give birth.

“...the damn child.”

In fact, secretly
There is a simpler way than doing anything. Just to hold her accountable to her
party who made her pregnant with her. As long as there is no pleasure without
responsibility
If a woman is conceived, the man is responsible as both husband and father.

Fortunately, Cloud barely meets the conditions in that area.

 He is a warrior, has the feat of defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, and is
loved by the people. Until you look good there.

It means that there is nothing lacking in being Laurenne's husband.

Even her father wouldn't object. If it was Cloud, it would be possible to

dispel the inequality treaty that was signed with Lorian's failure this time.

At first glance, this is the cleanest method, but there is one problem.

That is, whether Cloud will admit it.

If Cloud turns out to be not her child, no matter how loudly she insists, no
one will listen.

Originally, the truth should be revealed through a trial, etc., but for that to
happen, Kalita Kingdom has done something to Prona Kingdom.

Perhaps, to those who don't know, it may seem like an act of damaging Cloud's
honor.

“Bitch...”

When she thought about it that far, Laurenne burst into tears.

“I enjoyed everything, is this this? If you enjoyed it, you should take
responsibility..!”

You can't really say you're not responsible. Cloud doesn't know that Laurenne
is pregnant. But her excitement wasn't a big deal for her.

“See you next time.”

I'll lay it down and beat you hard.

She murmured, changed into a wide-brimmed dress, and left the room.
Complaining doesn't solve the problem.
To solve the problem, I had to move on my own.

* ＊ *

"Oh, what's wrong with Lauren? You come to me first.”

It was her mother that Laurenne went to to solve the problem. In her memory,
her mother, unlike her father, was kind and merciful.

Unlike the father, who harshly scolded him for his mistakes, the mother
embraced her children with love. If it was her mother like her, she might... she
didn't know she would embrace her.

Laurenne smiled at her happy mother.

"why? Can't her daughter come to see her mom after a long time?"

“What about him? When and now do you say that when you go after her brother
every day and make her mother sad?”

“Ummm…”
 There wasn't much to say about that, so Laurenne scratched her cheek with a
smirk. Seeing this, her mother, Lucia, grinned.

“Anyway, come on, my daughter. Let’s enjoy refreshments together with mother
and daughter after a long time.”

Lucia had her maid bring her sweets and tea. Her mother and daughter chatted
while tea and sweets were being prepared, and the conversation continued as she
drank the tea her maid brought.

Around the time the sweets were running out, Laurenne opened the door to bring
the topic out.

“By the way, has this happened before? Why? There was an incident where the
kingdom was noisy because of the Hasman family.”

“You mean the second daughter of the Hasman family had a child out of wedlock?”

“Ah, that one! It wasn't too much of a fuss back then. All sorts of rumors are
circulating. Now that I think about it, I don’t really know what happened.”

“There is nothing special about it. The only thing is that the second wife of
the Hasman family left her fiancée and had an affair with another man and then got
pregnant.”

"I see. But is that enough to turn the kingdom upside down?”

Laurenne asked in a cold sweat. Lucia, unaware of that, answered calmly.

“Of course, if it ended there, it would have ended in disgrace to the family.
But it didn't end there.”

“What if it’s not over?”

“She told her fiancé that she was pregnant and asked for forgiveness. I want to
save Aiman. No, did she ask you to grow up together?”

“…it had to be overturned.”

"right. Because you have tarnished the honor of your fiance and her family.”

“Well, how did it go? break up?”

“How great would it have been if the marriage ended only with the breakup?”

Lucia sighed deeply as if she was tired of thinking about that time.

“The fiancée put up a duel with the eldest son of the Hasmans to restore his
honor. Originally, it would have been impossible, but the job turned out to be a
job, and the eldest son of the Hasman family was blown off the head that day.”

"ah..."

“Then the territorial battle ensued. In that war, the Hasman family lost half
of the territory, and the family of the affair was erased from history because it
was a very Korean-American family.”

“...is that possible?”

 “Because no family wanted to help the Hasman family, whose honor had fallen to
the ground. The opposite was a lot. Well, in the end, it was meant to share some
land, but what I did was help.”

After that, she talked about how hard it was for her and her husband to mediate
the matter.

Laurenne listened to her mother's complaint and asked at the right time.

“How was the second girl?”

“That kid? I
As far as I know, after going around the city ten times naked, after being spanked
in front of all the citizens, she was sent to a convent.
I know... it was also in the family register, maybe? The rumor that the head of
the Hasman family is a daughter-in-law seems to be true. I only gave you that kind
of punishment
look.”

If it were us, we would never have done that.

At Lucia's dissatisfaction, Laurenne became terrified.

'Oh, no. This is very different from my case. Me, I don't have a fiance. At
least not until war!'

She thought about it and continued to speak.

“It was like that… Well, isn’t that pretty common? When a noble woman becomes
pregnant out of wedlock.”

At that, Lucia smiled.

“My daughter is also very… Do you think that it is common, you only see the
world in a dark way?”

“Is that so?”

“Still, it’s not as common as my daughter said, but it’s rare.”

“How about in that case?”

“Are you usually sent to a convent?”

"I see. So what if, what if… what would you do if something like that happened
to you?”

“Our daughter. Does your mom look like someone you're cheating on? No matter
how busy Dad is, Mom only loves Dad.”

As if slightly offended, Lucia pouted her lips.

“No, not that one, the other. If you are a parent, that is.”

“Oh, did you mean that? thank god. I was surprised to learn that the rebels had
returned to our daughter...”

“What kind of rebel is… answer me anyway. What are you going to do?”

"Hmm... our good sons and daughters won't be like that, but if they do... we'll
have to beheaded, right?"

"...uh?"

When Laurenne's complexion hardened, Lucia realized her mistake and hurriedly
changed her words, waving her hands.

“No, no. The beheading went too far, even as my mother saw it. She is a
precious son and daughter, and her body must be whole. Do you think it's ok with a
potion? But because our kids are so strong, medicine must be painful...”

How can I kill it painlessly?

Seeing her mother worried about such a thing with a pretty face, Laurenne
trembled.

“Killing... are you serious? Are you just going to kill your child for
something like that?”

Seeing Laurenne in embarrassment, Lucia hardened her expression coldly.

“Lauren. please correct The honor of the royal family is not something that can
be called a mere thing.”

It was the expression on her mother's angry face that she had never seen before
for Lauren.Laurenne had never heard her mother's angry expression or even a cold
voice. She thought that she was the only one who thought her mother was a kind
person.

“The royal family should be perfect and noble. There shouldn't be even a small
scratch. If it gets scratched, it loses its value.”

But it was an illusion.

Her mother is not a kind person.

“In that respect, you and Lorian grew up really well. Not only because of his
looks, but also because of his abilities. You are by far the best of my children.”

Lucia was kind to Laurenne and Lorian simply because they were the best of her
children.

Lauren realized.

The reason her mother delayed her marriage was not just because it was her
request.

If Lauren had not been a child of Lucia's surname, she would have been married
early, like the other sisters.

“…but it’s a problem because Lorian has had a lot of failures lately.”

Looking at Lucia's cold eyes again, Laurenne swallowed her saliva.

“In my mind
I want to deprive him of his position as heir, but I don't have a child who can
succeed him. People
You may fail at least once in your life. The important thing is to use that
failure as a stepping stone to achieve bigger things, right?”

"Yes. right. A human being can make one mistake-”

 “But Lauren, you’re not a hero, are you?”

Lucia put down her teacup and smiled.

“I hope I never let this mother down.”

“...”

* * *

Laurenne returns after talking with her mother.

Her expression was hardened, unlike when she left the room.

“Water... Water..!”

I am definitely thirsty even after drinking tea. He quickly poured water into
the silver cup on the table and drank it directly into his mouth. There was more
dripping sideways than drinking, but I didn't care.

Pour fresh water and drink again.

But no matter how much you drink, your thirst will never go away. The water jug
was empty before the thirst was quenched.

"what? why don't you come Why don't you come out!!!"

bang!

The water jug that had been thrown into the corner of the room was crushed to
the point that it was hard to recognize its shape. The servants who heard Laurene's
voice knocked on the door.

-Lauren, do you have any problems?

"no."

-Laurenne?

“No! Leave me alone!!”

- Oh, I see!

The servant, who did not know the reason, recognized that the master was not
feeling well, and quickly withdrew. After her servant's departure, Laurenne smirked
for a while, then twisted her expression and ripped her hair out.

'Me too... I'm going to die...!'

She thought she was never going to die.

It was an idle thought.

There was an aspect of her mother that she did not know, and it was very cruel.

If you find out that you are pregnant, you will die in no time.
death.
As it suddenly narrowed the distance, something she hadn't expected, she gasped
for breath. Her chest felt tight, and her fever rose.

It is frustrating.
 Laurenne tore the dress she was wearing on both sides. I could feel her
breathing a little easier with her sense of liberation. Only after picking her
breath could she calm down a little.

'You have to kill me.'

Laurenne moved her hand, gently stroking the cause of her leash tightening. It
seems that she has just been pregnant, but her belly is already protruding a
little.

'Oh, you're going to die anyway, right?'

If she is found pregnant, the family will kill her. When she dies, so does her
child. In that case, wouldn't it be better for her to survive alone?

Yeah, that's right.

I have to live in the country. Am I too old to die?
How many things have you never done before?
How bright is my future?
I can't die like this.
It's okay for at least one person to live.

Laurenne tried to press her stomach. Her trembling hands were not strong
enough. The moment she tried to put her powers in her somehow.

Tung- Tung-

Her stomach rumbled. It was as if her child was beating for her life, and
Laurenne froze. Her stiff hands began to tremble again.

I can't.
must kill
I mean, it happened. There's no way anyway. It's not like you don't have
experience killing people. Why are you hesitating now because of one child?
It's not the child that matters, the most important thing is my life!

Laurenne urged herself inwardly.

do it
Come on give me strength!
However, there was no strength in his hands.
Suddenly, he fell down with no force.

Both the hands and the head.

"Sorry..."

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I'm really sorry..."

In the end, Laurenne did not harm her child. She knows it's a foolish act with
no future, but she just couldn't.

* * *

From that day on, she worked tirelessly to hide the fact that she was pregnant.
To accommodate her growing belly, her mouth widened the dress, and her private
encounters were reduced.
 Because of that, Laurenne was not able to enjoy the training and tea parties
she loved.

Not only that.

In order not to be suspicious, he had to be careful about his words and

actions, not only watching his family but also the eyes of one maid.

They also have eyes and ears.

It is only for a moment that a rumor is spread in the palace if caught by the
cheap maids.

Therefore, not a single mistake is tolerated.

Every day, every moment was like walking on a sharp blade for her.

As time passed, she grew tired.

Every time I eat breakfast, I look at my family and get restless. He was
startled by the servant's knock and hid under the blanket.

all tired

It's going to be discovered someday anyway, so I even thought about why I had
to hide it so much.

Nevertheless, she endured with a sense of duty as a mother.

her like that

Was the sky moved by the effort? She brought her one piece of good news. It is said
that she hastily summoned the warriors from the Empire. If it's a summons, it's the
Cloud
Also coming to the Empire. She risked her last hope and climbed into her carriage.

Knowing how hopeless that hope was, he was so exhausted that he leaned on it.

When I got on the carriage like that, arrived in the Empire, and met Cloud
after a long time, tears came to my eyes. Desperately holding back her tears, she
said to him.

'Later... talk to me later.'

'When you're ready... I'll find you.'

It wasn't until the day after arriving in the Empire that Lorraine was able to
make up her mind. That evening. As she went to his room, she met Lorian with a very
angry expression in the hallway.

“Where are you going?”

He asked after finding Lauren.

“Ah… well… to go for a little walk…”

"walk? There will be only rooms here, right?”

“That, right? I must have taken the wrong path.”

“Did you take the wrong way? You used to go in and out of the Imperial Palace
like that every time you came to the Empire? Stop lying and tell the truth. Who are
you going to meet?”

“Is it real? Who do you think you're going to meet? Anyway, it seems I've taken
the wrong road, so I'll just leave."

Laurenne tried to go back the way she had come. Lorian grabbed her shoulder.

"for a moment-"

“Hey! Let go of this!”

The moment his hand touched the thick fur coat, startled Laurenne turned
around, screaming almost in a seizure. Thanks to this, Lorian's hand was lifted
from the fur coat, but his mood became awkward.

Lorian narrowed his eyes at his brother's overreaction.

“Oh, my brother suddenly caught me…”

Laurenne hurriedly began to make excuses, but she couldn't hear them. His gaze
was on Lauren's fur coat.

'I just thought of it, but why is he wearing that?'

Laurenne is sensitive to fashion and often changes clothes to the point that
she thinks it is excessive. I don't know exactly when she will be like that, but at
some point she wore a fur coat that only made her look fat.

Every day, not once or twice.

Lorian said with a strange feeling.

“Lauren. Take off that fur coat for a second.”

"no."

“It will take a moment.”

“Because I don’t like it!”

Why would you turn down a simple request to take off your fur coat with such an
honesty? Lorian's intuition said there was something in that fur coat.

“Ah, I’m going anyway!”

Usually, my brother
I thought it was going to be private, but it wasn't now. I'm feeling so much anger
that I can't even discern it from the past.
It's Lorian He now felt that Lauren was ignoring him and undermining her authority.

“Are you even ignoring me?!”

After a month or so, Lorian overtook Lorene, grabbing the fur coat and pulling
it hard. It happened so quickly that Laurenne had no choice but to miss her coat.

The fur coat was removed, revealing the dress she was wearing.

"What. It’s nothing…”

 "What are you doing?! Give it to me!”

Lauren is fur
I yelled at him to return the coat. However, Lorian's power was stronger than
Lorenne's to regain her coat. Lorian didn't let the coat go, and he
It was the moment when Laurenne, who was nervous, was about to hit even one of his
vital points.

“Lauren. Your dress... Why is only the belly protruding slightly?”

Laurenne's body as she pulled on her coat stiffened.

“Wow, what are you talking about? Why is the belly convex? It just feels that
way because the dress is wide.”

“It’s a curve that’s too natural for that.”

“Actually, I have a belly fat these days…”

“Before putting on a dress, would you like a corset? Any amount of belly fat
can be covered with that.”

“My stomach, I have a lot of belly fat!”

“Are you talking about your thin limbs? Let's joke about this. Who are you?”

"uh..?"

“Whose child is that?”

Lauren's complexion turned white.

caught up
I was prepared at the best, but before I could say anything to Cloud, I was
caught.
That too, at least for my brother!

“Ah, Airani, what do you mean..?”

Lorraine took a step back and took a step back, but Lorian was honest and
caught up with her.

“Stop lying.”

“Gee, not really!”

She opened the door to the next room and went inside. She locked her door as it
was, but Lorian's arm slid through her door and blocked it.

Laurence couldn't even close the door, let alone lock it. Lorian opened the
door with force, went inside, and grabbed her wrist to prevent Laurenne from
escaping.

“Somehow, he wanted to be quiet these days. You were hiding this.”

“Let go of this!”

“Did you do it sanely? It really is absurd.”

 Lorian shook his head.

“Answer me. Whose child are you?”

“Why do I have to answer? My brother knows what to do!”

“Should I really tell my father? You said you made a child by doing something
unclean?”

“Well, that’s…”

Laurenne's pupils trembled when the thing she wanted to avoid the most was
mentioned. Frightened by the clear vision of her future, she knelt before Lorian on
her knees.

“Oh, bro. It's my fault. Because I'm wrong, can't you just take a look at it
just once? My brother..!”

“I told you. Are you going to ignore my orders?”

“Please… just once… huh?”

Seeing Laurene taking it all the way to the end, Lorian's annoyance soared. He
let go of Laurenne's wrist he had grabbed, and strode towards the outside of the
room.

"done. You'll find out when you return to the kingdom anyway, you don't need to
know now."

“Oh, bro!”

Laurenne hastily crawled and grabbed the crotch of his pants.

“I will tell you. I'll tell you who it is, so please hide it. yes?"

“I’m not curious.”

Lorian shook his leg to shake off Lorene. When she was about to miss the crotch
of her pants, she cried out in a hurry.

"Cloud!"

Lorian's body stiffened at that.

“What did you just say? Who?”

"Cloud..."

"Cloud? Was it the Cloud I knew?”

Lorrian looked down at her as if he had heard it right.

Lauren closed her eyes and nodded her head.

damn-

Soon after, he was slapped hard on the cheek.damn-

 With a bloody sound, Laurenne's head turned to the side. Her cheeks swelled red
and swollen with her burning pain. Laurenne cooled her cheeks with her hands, but
she couldn't raise her head.

“Do you know what you did?”

“...”

“There is no answer. Raise your head.”

Laurenne shook her head. Lorian's palm swung.

damn-

“Are you ready to answer me now?”

“...”

“Speak. speak!”

Lorian shouted, and Laurenne trembled in surprise. Seeing that pitiful

appearance, Lorian let out an annoyed sigh.

Then she asked, lowering her voice so she wouldn't be surprised.

“When did you two get together? I mean, where the hell did you hit your navel!”

I tried to lower my voice, but I couldn't help but feel emotions. When there
was no answer after waiting, it was time to raise his hand to slap him again. She
said in her grassy voice, she said.

“The last time I went to Prona Kingdom…”

Their relationship began right after Behemoth was subjugated, but the day she
became pregnant was when Lorian visited the Prona Kingdom with a bunch of nobles.

Lorian's brow furrowed.

“While I have been through all sorts of torment and shame, you have been
napping with him.”

does not make sense

This is not what Lorian, who tried to occupy the capital of the kingdom as an
excuse, is not going to say it. But the world cannot always be logical and
rational.
law. Driven by rage, Lorian saw Lauren as her ass light-hearted bitch who betrayed
him by her pleasure.

The rotten bitch he betrayed when he was having a hard time.

Unable to bear the feeling of betrayal, Lorian grabbed Laurenne's hair, lifted
her head, and began to slap her on the cheek.

He grinded his teeth as he struck.

“Somehow, the plan didn’t go as planned, it was because there was a traitor
inside!”

“Oh no! I didn't do that!”

 "noisy!"

The anger caused by the feeling of betrayal caused an absurd misunderstanding,

which was not resolved by any excuses from Laurenne. After the assault that
continued for a while, Lorian lowered the hand that was beating.

“Why… why is it that guy?”

“...”

Lauren didn't answer. Lorian let go of her Lorraine's hair, muttering in vain.

“Frillite and you are all looking for him...”

Lorenne, who had her head bowed helplessly, raised her eyes as she heard what
he mumbled.

"What are you talking about? Why is Frilite looking for Cloud?”

"yes? Oh, you don't know. Cloud and Frylite are engaged.”

"engagement..?"

"okay. He even slept.”

"ah..?"

it was a grinder Her world collapsed. Her hope, which barely supported her,
disappears, and her gloomy darkness covers her eyes.

She didn't even have time to get angry, so her lips trembled.

Lorian couldn't even laugh at Lorraine, who had gone mad. All of the siblings
were swayed by Cloud, and their lives were twisted. It's a situation where you
can't laugh unless you laugh.

“Then why would a child like Cloud…”

Looking pathetic at Laurene, who had become a duck egg on the Nakdong River, he
realized something in his words and opened his eyes wide.

"Child..? yes kid! you have a child now The child of the Cloud!”

“...”

His expression widened as if the angry expression from before was a lie. He
exulted and grabbed Lauren's wrist and led him.

Laurenne, who was suddenly dragged along, asked in a weak voice.

"what. Where are you going…”

“Go to the Cloud. Go and tell them that you are your child.”

"...What?"

Lauren's expression hardened. She braced her legs to hold on.

 "no. I’m not going.”

Lorian narrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Bertie.

“Didn’t I say I was a child of the Cloud? He got you pregnant, so he should be
held accountable!”

“That’s right… you can’t admit it!”

Cloud is engaged to Frylite. She is a woman from the imperial duke's family,
with an outstanding face and body, and even an outstanding warrior.

...I hate to admit it, but she was a much better woman than Laurence.

After leaving such a fiancee, there is no reason to choose her now.

But as if that didn't matter, Lorian shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter whether he admits it or not. The important thing is for Fril
Litte to make her suspicious.”

"...What?"

“Lauren, listen.”

Lorian put his hands on Laurenne's shoulders with a serious face.

“From now on, we will go to Frylite’s room. Because she and her Cloud are
there.”

“Cloud is in the same room as Prlitte...”

“Listen to the end. Once you enter the room, what you do is simple. You just
have to hold on to Cloud while pretending to be miserable. I'll take the part of
making noise. Did you understand? Then go.”

"uh..?"

Lorraine, who was swept away by the atmosphere and dragged a few steps, came to
her senses and stood up against Lorian who was trying to drag her away.

“What are you doing?”

“Brother, what are you going to do? This means that you and your child should
play clowns right now! Because of your brother’s self-interest!”

It's not because of her clowns that she's holding up.

That clown play, if you can give your child back his father, he can do it
willingly.

But isn't it?

Laurenne imagined the situation where she went into Frillite's room like this
and started a riot. What kind of expression will Cloud make in that chaotic
situation?

you're probably embarrassed

I don't know what that means, so I won't be able to take any action right now.
 But, what will happen when the situation is settled and the incident distances
him from Frilite?

Perhaps he would look at her as annoyed and annoyed.

Lauren had never seen Cloud's eyes like that before, and she didn't want to see
them again.

Lorian tried to beat Lauren, who was struggling.

“Why is this because of my selfishness? You should also hold Cloud

accountable.”

"I do not need."

"What?"

“I don’t need to take responsibility for that!”

What Laurenne wanted was Cloud, a playful, mischievous laugh, not Cloud who
annoyed her and annoyed her.

“So let this go. Let go!”

Laurenne pulled her arm out to free her. Lorian's expression frowned. He
decided to give up on her persuasion and dragged Lorraine by force.

Pushed by the force, she began to be dragged along.

“Don’t go. I mean, I'm not going!"

Lorenne, who had twisted herself to hold back, saw the door approaching. Go
through that door and you're done. When she thought of that, her composure
disappeared from her.

“Do it in moderation!!”

Laurenne stopped holding on and surrendered herself to the power that guided
her. She bumped her body with Lorian she added to her own strength there.

“Ouch!”
“Hey!”

Lorian hit the door first, then Laurenne on his back. The two got tangled up
and fell to the floor. Laurenne quickly came to her senses, and a crocodile crawled
behind her to distance herself from Lorianne.

She drew her dagger and pointed it at Lorian.

“I, I am not going. So, don't force it. I can't stand it any longer..!"

Lorraine, she knew better, that a dagger wouldn't do even the slightest bit of
help against Lorian. He couldn't be easily dragged away, so he's trying to make a
move.

But... things went strangely.

The one where Lorian fell

did not stand up. No, I tried to get up, but I couldn't. Even if he gets up, he
stumbles and falls again.
A few times, he managed to get up and leaned his back against the wall while
sitting.

"...Brother?"

Realizing that Lorian's condition was not serious, she slowly approached him.
You can see his lips moving and saying something. Your voice is so low it's hard to
hear.

Reluctantly, she narrowed the distance with Lorian and walked right in front of
him.

“Say it again-”

“Cool!”

Lorian coughed and coughed up blood. Her Lorraine's mouth opened as she saw the
blood soaked in her own body.

"uh..?"

blood..?
Why is blood coming out of the cough?
And so much...

She lifted her head again and stared at Lorian. She was taking a deep breath
with her face turned blue because it was hard to breathe.

It was clearly the figure of a dying person.

“What, what? Come on? I… I just bumped into…?!”

The moment Lorian collided with the door, his rib, which had been barely
cracked, was broken. Her broken ribs pierced deep into his lungs the moment Laurene
bumped into him.

With his lungs pierced by a rib, Lorian felt terrible pain as his lungs were
torn apart with every breath. Even then, it was hard to breathe because of the
blood in his lungs.
He didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers.

Lorraine, unaware of that fact, was just embarrassed, thinking that it was all
because of her.

“Uh, what should I do? Potions... Yes, bring potions...”

Lorian grabbed the back of Laurenne's gibberish hand.

he said with his lips.

-priest.

"ah! priest! If you are a priest in the Imperial Palace, you can cure it! hang
on. I will soon-”

- While I was going through all sorts of hardships and embarrassment, you were
hanging out with him.
 Lorian's angry voice suddenly came to mind. Laurenne, who was about to run out
of the room, stopped moving.

'My brother hates me.'

Partly because of a misunderstanding, he was basically dissatisfied with her

for having a relationship with Cloud.

-Should I really tell my father? You said you made a child by cheating?

'As much as I hate the Cloud, my kids will hate it too.'

- It doesn't matter if he admits it or not. The important thing is to make

Frilite suspicious.

'I had a corner to use again this time, so I immediately tried to use myself. I
don't care what happens to me later.'

All kinds of negative thoughts about Lorian fill her head. Her head slowly
turned towards Lorian.

Even at this moment, Lorian was dying little by little.

Looking at him like that, Laurenne thought.

Do I really need to save this person?

This person who only harms me and my children?

In the past, I would have never imagined that it was Lauren when I was chasing
Lorian, but now is not the time. Lorraine was too disappointed and exhausted by him
to follow him blindly as before.

She is pushed to the edge of the cliff.

As long as she has a child, everything in the world is her enemy.
Lorian, a family member, is no different. No, he is rather the most venomous
enemy.
Because she was trying to use her as well as her children.

Even though she said she didn't like it, she remembered Lorian who tried to
drag her by force, and made her decision.

let it die

After all, this is a buy. It wasn't intentional, so it can't be considered

murder.

'Let's wait a little bit and go find the priest when they're almost dead.'

I thought they were all going to die, so I brought a priest, but what if they
were still alive?
What if the priest spares him?

'...Let's just go find him when he's dead.'

Who comes to hear the commotion before you die?

Will she be able to pretend well? Could it be that she only invites more people
for nothing because of her awkward acting?
 'Then what shall we do?'

What?
There's the simplest way.
way you know well.

‘...’

Laurenne grabbed Lorian's neck with both hands. At that moment, she could see
Lorian's pupils shaking in her eyes. Lorian grabbed Lorene's stiff arm.

Unlike when he had grabbed his wrists before, he felt no strength in his hands.

He doesn't even have the strength to resist now.

There is nothing stopping Laurenne.

Now all you have to do is kill it.

But the trembling hands don't work well. After shaking her hands for a moment,
she bit her lips tightly and opened her mouth.

“Hey, this is all because of my brother. If my brother had been nice to me,
this wouldn't have happened. But didn't your brother do that? So it’s all your
brother’s fault.”

This is self rationalization.

She came up with a reason to kill him and convinced herself.
A little force was put in the hand holding the neck.

“Yeah, that should have been nice to me. Only half of what I did for my
brother… even if I did half…”

Emotions begin to load into self-rationalization.

“No, even if I only did half of what I did to that woman called Prilitera! This
never happened…”

Emotions are getting stronger.

"I know that? me

Did you like my brother? of the opposite sex, not of the family. I gave up though.
because it's family Because it's a blood share. When I'm with my brother as a
sister
I thought it was enough. But why? Why, why, why is he not interested in me! Why are
you taking my devotion for granted?!”

The sadness that had accumulated for a long time exploded. Tears flowed
endlessly, and the tears that fell were mixed with blood. Raising her head, as she
bowed helplessly, she met Lori Ann's eyes.

"I know that? The interest that oppa didn't give me... Cloud was so easy to
give, didn't he?"

When they were together, Cloud was always focused on her. Even though it was
her natural, she felt very good about it.

“Remembering the past decade, I was so vain... But even that was forgotten
because I was with Cloud. From that moment on, it was rather enjoyable.”
 I hate to admit it, but...
I really hate it, but...

“I have to admit. I guess I love Cloud.”

She rarely smiled broadly.

That beautiful smile soon disappeared slowly.

“Brother, have I thought about it? The last time I met Cloud, he obviously
didn't have a fiancee? But what do you see now?”

Judging by the timing, Cloud became engaged to Frylite after she and Lorian
came out of the Prona Kingdom.

“I don’t know, but we had a good atmosphere back then. Hopefully... just a
little bit longer, it could have been an official one. But my brother ruined it.”

Blood drips from her bitten lips. Along with that, the hand that tightened his
neck was also full of strength.

“It was all ruined because of my brother. My brother ruined my life! take
responsibility Take responsibility and die!”

“Keck... Keck...”

"die. Please die and get out of my life!!”

Lorenne was squeezing Lorian's neck so strongly that tendons began to sprout.
Her throat was choked, and blood filled her airway, completely blocking her airway.
Lorian's pupils became blurry and then completely lost their light.

The hand that had been holding Laurence's arm fell, and her pale face slumped
down helplessly.

Lauren took her hand away.

Even after being released from prison, Lorian did not move.

"He's dead... he's really dead..."

Lorian is dead.
her brother died
The warrior of Kalita Kingdom died.

I don't feel it
Maybe it's because of the defense mechanism.
Because he knew unconsciously that if Lorian died, the woman who went with him
to the Empire wouldn't be safe either.

I killed him even though I knew it.

Laurenne recalled that fact anew, and took her eyes off Lorian's body.

She took off her bloody dress.

There was blood on his bra, but he didn't even want to take it off.

I left the room and walked down the hallway, wearing only the fur coat.
Arriving in Cloud's room, she opened the door without knocking.
 There was no one in the room.

someday it will come

Laurenne sat on Cloud's bed and waited for him.

After a while the door opened and he came in.

“Lauren?”

She approached him, looking quite surprised. As she approached, she asked
herself.
Why am I here?
You know that nothing changes even if you come, right?

'...maybe you want to end it all.'

Let's give up everything in a cool way because even Cloud, our last hope, turns
us away.
It was probably moved with that intention.
Convinced, she took off her fur coat without hesitation.

Astonishment spread in his eyes, which had been full of wonder until then.

Yes, that's the reaction.

are you okay. I understand.

"Cloud."

I understand, so let's end this skit.

Laurenne spoke with empty eyes and a voice that didn't expect anything.

“I am pregnant.”

As soon as he heard those words, Cloud hugged her tightly into his arms. As her
eyes widened to the size of a candle, he said as he gently stroked her back.

"it's okay. I will take responsibility for everything.” The royal palace
audience, which can be said to be the core of the imperial palace.
It was crowded with not only the emperor, but also vassals, court nobles, and
high-ranking clerics.
But no one spoke up.

“Sinners raise their heads.”

Because it was the palace of the emperor.

Cloud in handcuffs
He was on his knees with his hands tied. No matter how many handcuffs coated with
Orichalcon material, it is far from confinement to the hero Cloud.
lack. But the important thing was not whether the handcuffs were functioning, but
the attitude that the Cloud was compliant.

Hearing this, Cloud raised his head and looked at the emperor.

“Sin, Cloud. You fought with the hero, Lorian, and killed him. Do you admit
it?”
 Cloud's crime is killing the hero.
After he surrendered himself with Lorian's body, he was imprisoned and is on
trial.

“I admit it.”

“The investigator

fracture. There were clear handprints on his neck, as if he had strangled him. The

This time, he admitted it coolly.

in the audience room

The audience began to murmur. Even so, they only know that Cloud killed Lorian,
they know the details
couldn't It is not unusual to be astonished at the shocking truth.

“Jeong-suk.”

The emperor slapped the throne's armrests and muttered. As if it was noisy, the
inside of the audience suddenly became quiet.

The emperor continued.

“Sinners are extremely

do. Anyone have any objections?”

The emperor turned to the people who filled the audience and said. Each and
every one of them had their own voice, but no one disagreed with the emperor's
ruling.

“No. Then we'll break the trial. The knights escort the criminals.”

-yep!

Two knights in platinum armor came forward and stood on either side of Cloud.
Cloud got up on his own and left the audience with them.

The trial for the murder of a hero with a ripple effect that shook the
continent ended in vain.

Frillite looked at Cloud's back as she left the audience and clenched her fists
so tightly that they bled.

* * *

The incident took place a month before the trial.

 The day after she sent Cloud out saying she wanted to be alone, who was
offended by Lorian's sudden confession.

Cloud took Lorian's body and embroidered it.

At his embroidery, the Imperial Palace was literally turned upside down.
The warrior was killed.
Also for the same warrior.
It was a major accident among major accidents, and no one dared to step forward
because of fear of aftermath.

Frylite, until she steps out.

-Cloud? what is this...

-...sorry.
- What are you sorry for? Well, let me explain...
-Sorry.

To her repeated questions, Cloud only replied that she was sorry. It wasn't
until later when no one was around her that she whispered her to her.

-I'll tell you all about what happened later when things are settled. Until
then... I'm sorry, but be patient.

Cloud, who said that, had a very bitter expression on her face, so she couldn't
argue further.

'I didn't spend that day like that.'

Frylite regrets it.

This wouldn't have happened that day if I hadn't let him go that day just
because he felt bad.
The fight happened after Cloud came out of her room.
Because of this, she even felt a little guilty about this.

In my heart, I wanted to help him... but helping is only possible with

knowledge.

'Cloud... what are you hiding?'

Have I not yet become the person to whom I can confide in you? It was when
Frillite put on a gloomy expression in her sad heart.

Along with the knock, the voice of the knight guarding the front of the room
was heard.

- Mr. Frilite. The princess of Kalita Kingdom, Laurenne, has come to visit. Can
I bring it in?

When she heard the name of Lorendra, Frilite's eyebrows narrowed. She is a
woman who has been very loyal to my brother, Lorian.

'Are you trying to complain to me about Lorian's death?'

I can't go to the imprisoned Cloud, so instead of that.

Maybe it's just a simple request to say something.

 After a moment's contemplation, she answered.

“It’s okay to bring it in.”

At the same time as her answer, the door opened and a young beauty with light
brown hair entered the room. Laurenne looked into her room and, even though she had
not been told to sit, she pulled a chair and she sat across from the frillite.

It was slightly rude, but the frillite passed.

I had no intention of accusing a person who lost a family member over such a
trivial matter.

“Yes, Lauren. what brings you here-"

“I hate you.”

However, even Frylite had to frown at the criticism that came out of nowhere.
At first I tried to ask what it was, but there was no need.
I got an answer before I even asked.

“You have everything I want. Not only did he possess my brother, he also
possessed Cloud. I couldn't be happy because of you."

“…why is the name of Cloud coming out of your mouth?”

Lauren took off her fur coat. Her belly had a beautiful curve that could not
even cover the width of her wide dress.

“Honestly, I don’t want to say it, but you should know. It’s all my fault that
Cloud did that.”

"...What?"

Frilite's two eyes filled with embarrassment. Doubts turned into doubts the
moment they saw the convex ship. no way. it won't be It can't be. Lauren Nga wedges
her visibly agitated frillite into a wedge.

She said, gently stroking her stomach.

“The child of the Cloud.”

Frilite's eyes widened. Lauren was happy with her reaction, but she didn't show
it.

“Unbelievable... the sound...”

"Really. The one in my boat is Cloud's child..."

“Stop the bullshit!”

The atmosphere in the room changed at Frilite's ferocious voice. A feeling of

pressure, as if her head was thrust into her tiger's jaws, weighed on Lauren.

“Considering the misfortune you have caused, I will pass on this matter.
However, if I say nonsense one more time, I will ask for the price of my crimes for
trying to despise me. So go away.”

cold sounding words.

 It was an unbearable pressure for Lauren, but her mother was able.
Giving up her life and choosing to live as a mother, she continued to speak
without succumbing to the pressure.

“Cloud’s cock is unique. I always stick to places that feel good.”

“..!”

“How about this... Ugh!?”

The intangible pressure that weighed on her grew stronger.

“Yeah, if you know that, you have to admit it. but..."

The pressure intensified.

If the feeling of pressure before was a tiger cub, there was a difference to
the extent that it felt like an adult tiger now.

“Aren’t you too proud to reveal that you are in a relationship with someone
else’s fiancée?”

"...What? Right?”

It was Lauren who was crushed by the pressure, but her mouth moved freely in
her heart.

"Do not be ridiculous! After all, you're mad with my man!"

"what?"

“I was faster! I opened my mind first, I blended my body first. All that I am
faster than you! So-"

"stop."

Frillite frowned and cut off Laurenne's words.

“Same words… I guess you can’t even deceive the bloodline.”

"What? Why do bloods come out there?!”

Seeing Laurenne screaming, Frillite shook her head.

“I’m really… what am I doing with a pregnant woman in front of me…”

He felt so pathetic that he let out a sigh. Her frillite released her energy,
and only then was Lauren freed from her intangible pressure that weighed on her.

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point.”

Frilly Te said as she laid her back on the chair. She was restraining herself
as much as possible because she was in front of a pregnant woman, but she could not
hide the displeasure, irritation, and anger in her eyes.

“Why did you come to me? Is it to hold Cloud's fiancee responsible for your
child? If that's the case, accept it. When a child is born, it is officially
adopted-”

“It’s not like that! This child is mine and I will raise it. No interest!”
 Lorraine, who was stabbed by a scourge, cried out in a seizure. Frillite looked
at her with her cold eyes as she grinned.

“Then what? What did you come to me for? It would be nice to have a good
answer. If you come here to brag about your child and say the same thing, I will
destroy your family as it is.”

I will destroy the royal family of a kingdom.

A word that seemed close to bluff became a threat rather than a bluff when it
was spoken by someone who could do it.
Lauren swallowed her saliva.
After hesitating for a while, she explained why she came to Frylite.

"Help me. Because if you want, you'll never appear before him again..."

He spoke with a weeping face.

“Please help him...”The first thing to solve was Lorian's body. No matter how
much Laurenne, the princess of a kingdom, she cannot be freed from the sin of
killing a hero. Even if she had surrendered it was clear that she would receive a
terrible punishment.

But my case is different.

I am a warrior like Lorian. A warrior who proved his ability by defeating the
Four Heavenly Kings. I thought that even because of my abilities, I wouldn't be
able to properly punish them, and it actually happened.

“Is it enough to stay?”

From outside the cage, Frilite asked with a look that was difficult to
describe. She answered in her bright voice so as not to worry her.

“You deserve it. I'm not being tortured like a real criminal."

being locked up in jail

My treatment is not like other prisoners. As soon as he entered the prison, his
handcuffs were released and he was freed of his body, and his meal was worthy of
every meal.
give it to Also, every hour the jailer comes and asks if there is anything missing.

“This is enough for a sinner.”

I shrugged my shoulders with a funny expression on purpose, hoping that her

expression would improve. But there was no effect.

“Even if you are not a sinner?”

“…from whom did you hear it?”

“I heard from the real criminal.”

“Ah… that idiot.”

What if you blow it up? Who am I doing this for now?

“Frilite, so how did this happen…”

 "done. I have already heard all the explanations.”

“…how far have you heard?”

“Didn’t you say you heard it all? I know everything.”

"I see..."

I've always wondered how to reveal Laurene's pregnancy, but that's how it's
going to go. She sighed as she covered her face with both her hands.

“He showed me the ship he had called and told me. He said that he had an affair
first, so it was me who had an affair with another man. It's a fun story, isn't
it?"

oh god damn
Lauren, what have you done?

'Because I'll take care of it.'

What if you can't stand it and have an accident?

Just as she was about to lose her mind, Frillite spoke.

“What’s even more interesting is the last words you said after sending me a lot
of hostile attitudes. What do you think she said?”

“… away from my man?”

Frylite shook her head.

“He asked me to help you. In return, I said I would never see you again.”

As soon as I heard her words, I could not open my mouth hastily. The only thing
that came out of her mouth, which had been muffled for a while, was a big sigh.

'I said I was responsible for everything.'

Why would you do such a useless thing...

Am I that stupid?

“So what did you say? Will you help?”

"no."

"then?"

“I don’t know if it’s just a matter of helping, but I said that as long as
there were such conditions, I wouldn’t judge. So that's the question. What do you
want to do?”

Frilite grabbed the iron fence and asked with serious eyes.

“If you ask for help, I will get you out of here by any means possible. It's
not without noise, but I can crush that level with my authority."

“Aren’t you going to meet Laurene again instead?”

 “...”

Frylite nodded her head without saying a word.

“Flylite. The kid on Lauren's belly is mine. He cannot abandon the child.”

“You can adopt it as an adoption. There will be no discrimination for not being
my real child. Promise me.”

“But that will make Lauren unhappy.”

That day, she remembered Laurenne in her arms. When she said she would take
responsibility for everything, she shook her head in disbelief and immediately
burst into tears. She said that it was hard, and that she almost gave up several
times, pouring out her sorrows.

She had already suffered enough and was unhappy.

“I have a responsibility to make her happy.”

If Laurenne wanted to hide her birth and start a new life, I would have done
it.
But that wasn't what she wanted.
The once arrogant and immature girl chose life as a mother.
There must have been a lot of things to give up, but one heart to love a child.
It was too cruel to take her husband and children, who had to rely on her like
that.

"So I'm sorry-"

She smiled bitterly and raised her head, but when she saw Frillite's face, she
froze.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, dripping down.

Unlike usual, the corners of his eyes drooped and he did not hide his sad
feelings.

"I thought so. I thought you would say so.”

“Prillite..?”

“But… I didn’t think it was possible. There was an expectation that he would
choose me, even if it was against humanity. But still it is.”

Tears streamed down his cheeks and dripped onto the stone floor. I didn't know
how to react to my dismay. In the meantime, Frilite's red eyes kept me straight.

"Cloud.
No matter what I say, I truly love you. That's why I was happy when you said that
you would shoulder my responsibilities together. you in the nightmare
For the first time in my life, I felt a feeling of jealousy when I was mixing with
another woman. When she is with you, she feels a sense of satisfaction that is hard
to express in words.
I felt and I was happy. But you take back all the happiness you gave me.”

“...”

“Lorraine said. I have everything she doesn't have. It's a funny story. None of
them are what I really want.”

There is despair in her voice.

Without giving me a chance to interrupt, she continued.

"authority? strong
With power comes heavy responsibility. As you know, I am weak in responsibility.

“Prillite...”

“Since I got to know you, I have hope that life might become quite enjoyable.

dump.
Frylite knelt down. He lowered his head helplessly and muttered.

“In my mind
I want to get rid of it all. With everything I have, I want to isolate you
thoroughly, even if it means being a bad bitch. Only for me
I want to make it But I can't. I don't have the courage to be hated by you."

As if the hard armor surrounding her had been broken, her tone of voice also
faded.

"Hey. What am I to you?”

For me, frillite is...

"Important person. A very precious person.”

She was silent for a while in response to my answer. Then she muttered a
little.

“Only a precious person...”

Frylite raised her head, which had been bowed, and got herself up. Her tears no
longer flowed. Her eyes were swollen a little red, but her expression was
expressionless as usual.

“In three days the jailer will release you. I'll put a bunch of weird
conditions on it, but don't worry about it. It wouldn't be very useful."

"...thank you."

“No need to thank you. This is not because of private feelings, but because of
public affairs.”

She drew a cold line.

It hurts a little, but I can't help it.
Because of what I did, she must have suffered more.

“Two days later, the Platinum Knights and I enter the portal to the Demon
Realm.”
 “Can I join as soon as I am released?”

"no. The task of subjugating the Demon King is only me and the Platinum
Knights. Your job is to execute the hero, Gith, who did not comply with the summons
order.”

"execution?"

"okay. Warrior
Recalling Gith's disposition, I decided that if the Platinum Knights and I were
absent, we would aim for the empire that had a power gap. the empire is that wicked
There shouldn't be a single thing that falls into his hands."

“...Subjugating the Demon Lord, are you alone enough? Wouldn't it be better to
go with him after executing Gith?"

“So much time is wasted. In the meantime, if the Demon King's army attacked
from the portal, nothing would be as dangerous as that. So I will leave the
punishment of Gith to you.”

Frylite turned her back. She said as she looked at her back as she was about to
leave the prison.

“I’ll follow you soon. Stay safe until then. don't get hurt Even if I die, I'll
just sit there and cry, so take care of it."

At those words, Frilite stopped.

She clenched her fists and trembled, but eventually left without looking back.
I thought as I looked at her back as she left.

'What would you like to say?'

I thought about it, but it didn't seem like what I said would have comforted
her. She sighed and leaned her back against the hard stone wall.

Concentrating her consciousness, she drilled a tiny hole like a thread in the
dimension, and then spoke to her who was connected to her soul.

- How much is left?

-master? what is it all of a sudden? Please do not contact me as much as

possible.

- How much is left?

-Yes? If you're talking about a barrier, it's been a while. I'm about 95% done.

- Hurry up.

- Oh, you're doing it? Why are you so hurried! Some people put off the game
they want to play...

-ostrich.

-...I'm sorry. I'll finish it within a week.

-okay.

After hearing Leah's answer, I closed the dimension hole. Now this skit is
over. It was a time when I was feeling nauseous.

"Cloud...?"

An unconfident voice came from the entrance. Turning her head, she saw Lauren,
standing there, hesitating. I smiled trying to hide my complicated mind.

"I'm here?"

* * *

The home town of Cloud and Neria.

In Cloud's house, where the owner is now gone, Neria shouted at Eri and
Ophelia.

“Are you still human?! How did Cloud treat you?”

“Ah, no… Apart from being sad, you have to eat-”

"shut up! get out! Get out!!”

Eri and Ophelia, who brought food at the request of the village chief, were
pushed back by Neria and kicked out of Cloud's house.
