“Miss, you’ve left it like this again?”
Lia discovered a plate with more than half of the food remaining and looked at Evenel. Since that day, she had been eating and not eating, so it was impossible not to worry.
“I just don’t have an appetite.”
“You’re in your room all day, that’s why.”
Though a few days had passed since she had awakened in this body, Evenel had not taken a single step out of this room. Her fate was already determined, so there was no need to find out anything.
It would only become more bothersome if people found out that she had changed for no reason.
“Still, the weather is nice today, so how about a walk in the garden? Hmm?”
Defeated by Lia’s sparkling eyes, she rose from her bed, which was as immobile as a fixed stone.
“Alright.”
“Take your time. I will prepare some snacks.”
Evenel’s eyes wavered slightly at that bright smile, as it overlapped with the image of her younger brother Aran. Since the first time she saw her, Lia occasionally reminded her of her brother. She had mistaken her for him more than once or twice.
‘I’ve only seen Lia so far.’
She had not yet fully grasped this world, but given her high status, it seemed natural to have attendants.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
Before she knew it, Evenel, who had come out of the building, walked aimlessly wherever her feet took her. As Lia said, the refreshing air lifted the stuffiness just a bit.
At that moment, she heard several voices talking in the distance.
“Miss Evenel, you’ve been locked in your room all day lately? Not even eating properly.”
“It’s understandable. She’s been sent to a place where every messenger sent dies.”
Upon hearing the conversation related to herself, Evenel instinctively hid her body behind a nearby tree. Peeking out to check, she saw a few people in the same outfit as Lia gathered.
That meant the maids she had not seen before.
“Who would have imagined it? The divine protection given to Aodin would be lost.”
“Right. Monsters have started to appear too. I’m scared that something big might really happen.”
‘Divine protection.’
Evenel naturally recalled the story Aran had told her before. The most crucial background to this novel, and the reason this body was taken to Karies.
‘Should I be glad I remember this?’
The two empires that first emerged on the primordial continent.
The southern Aodin, with mild weather of four seasons and vast plains, and the northern Karies, with vast mountains and abundant resources.
Similar yet different, the two empires rapidly expanded their territories. But their peace did not last.
At some point, a strange creature called a monster appeared from an unknown space in various places of the two empires. They were too powerful and were just monsters, so they had no choice but to be helpless.
As they grew tired of the endless war with the monsters, a miracle happened in both empires.
A special power to defeat the monsters.
In the north’s Karies, a special power that could defeat the monsters, and in the south’s Aodin, a special ability that could see through the monsters’ only weakness.
Of course, not everyone was given it, and it manifested in the royal family and selected noble families, one per generation.
It was later called divine protection.
The two empires combined this power and ability to defeat the monsters, and the situation completely reversed in no time. Everyone cheered at the fact that there was nothing to fear anymore.
‘But that peace didn’t last either.’
The crack between the two empires started when the monsters began to appear concentrated in the Karies Empire.
In contrast, the appearance of monsters in Aodin noticeably decreased, and 40 years ago, they disappeared altogether.
It was perhaps natural for the balance to tilt to one side.
The damage from the monsters was concentrated in Karies, and Aodin, with nothing to lose, began to demand compensation for help.
And as time went by, the price became increasingly unreasonable.
Demanding sacrifices as a show of faith was basic, requesting vast mining and maritime rights, and even forcing monopolistic trade that was detrimental only to Karies.
Since the location of the core differed even among the same type of monsters, and in order to completely cut off the breath of the monster, it was an undeniable fact that the help of Aodin was needed to accurately attack the core hidden somewhere in its body.
So Karies had no choice but to accept the excessive demands without protest.
Sometimes they abandoned their pride, bowed their heads, and asked for help, but Aodin always turned a blind eye, making various excuses.
They deceived with promises to help after getting everything they wanted, and thoroughly shunned Karies, who were in distress, laughing at them.
‘Really despicable beings.’
Even when Evenel saw it, Aodin’s actions were utterly despicable.
They must have received help when they were in need, but how could they ignore and pretend not to know?
Of course, they could have demanded some compensation, but this went far beyond the line. To take all and then stab in the back.
