One soaked in helplessness can do nothing. But one filled with anger did something.

Rustica Gennes, a genius knight and the precious first daughter of the Flaché Viscount, and a growing young sage, were extremely angry today.

Is it right to just endure it when Carlos Arthur Ingram, on a false day, tightens his throat and strangles her, letting her take it all in without any resistance?

Even when she was cursed by Carlos, losing all her strength, she didn’t neglect her training. She forced herself to move her body, come out of the cave-like hut to bask in the sunlight, and tried to meet people even if she didn’t want to. She made efforts with tears of blood.

Roo never suffered without any thought.

“Ah, so this was it.”

The curse that bound her not only absorbed her power but also greedily sucked up the power that maintained her body, injured by Hayden.

Fully absorbed, it was offered to Carlos. So, Roo thought.

In other words, isn’t this curse a shortcut to Carlos? Since Carlos directly connected it, it was a sturdy path that couldn’t be cut off.

If she goes up against Carlos, like Carlos sucking in others’ powers, she might be able to regain the strength that was taken from her. The possibilities are endless, Roo thought.

Don’t go too far.

Of course, the only one who knew her secret thoughts explicitly said before sending her off.

“Did you come up?”

Even Carlos’s slightly bewildered voice was very pleasant to Roo.

Already, Roo’s consciousness, which had suffered great physical injuries and collapsed, was very faint and almost nonexistent for Carlos to worry about. However, it was enough to make him confused.

“Surprising.”

“It’s not surprising right now.”

Roo, looking at the ancient magic and powers that were too complicated and difficult for her to understand, muttered.

“Instead of facing me, shouldn’t you deal with what’s right in front of you?”

Before she finished speaking, Carlos looked straight ahead.

Ah, even his field of vision was seen by Roo. When she was hugged by Hayden, her eye level was about this much. Carlos, looking forward, had an eye level slightly higher than Roo’s and slightly lower than Hayden’s.

Roo not only saw his gaze but also captured the sounds.

“Ugh…!”

“No, why…?”

“Snap out of it!”

Sounds of surprise, questioning voices, and voices urging him to snap out of it, covering those voices.

To Roo, who had been in the Order of Knights for a long time, these were all familiar words.

Well, if you’re from Kaleita, everyone would be shocked by the sight in front of them. Roo was shocked too.

To Carlos, who felt no enthusiasm for the beautiful Shalea, so he didn’t know at all, the shock that the Imperial Knights felt was tremendous.
The demonic realm cannot be this beautiful. Or, it couldn’t be an ordinary metropolis like those in Kaleta.

Feeling the destruction of common sense, they tried to convince themselves that it was a peculiar illusion created by the Demon King.

But what would the advancing enemy, leaving that white city behind and slowly marching forward, say?

Piiiiiiing!

The white falcon, known by many names, cried sharply in the sky.

The majesty of Imperialle gearing up for battle was truly immense.

They filled the front field of Shalea and marched along with the emperor. Unlike the Imperial Knights on horseback, dignified divine beings carried the knights forward.

“Ah, Hayden!”

The demon known for being as beautiful as an angel. Emperor Perseuseta was holding the reins of Icarus, smiling with his characteristic smile.

Even looking at him like this, it was too pleasant. It tickled the heart. Looking at Hayden through Carlos’s eyes, Roo realized once again.

She loved Hayden too much. Just being able to see him made her happy, and even during the dangerous task of climbing against the power of the heavens, she felt no fear.

“Seeing you from outside after such a long time. The military uniform suits you well.”

Sunlight poured onto Hayden. Unlike Imperialle, who wore a helmet, Hayden proudly showed off his brilliant face.

Being a handsome lord becomes another factor of attraction. Hayden, who was praised as beautiful as an angel even though he was a demon, heard that in Kaleta. He was truly dazzling today.

And Roo was swept away by the power Carlos unleashed in an instant.

“Oops!”

Roo maintained balance precariously, riding the wave of power flowing down Carlos’s entire body. At the same time, she tried to quickly assess the situation. Could he have already started the attack?

“Attacking without a proper declaration of war, is this what you call a knight’s dignity?”

All dignity froze. Roo, who had somehow inflicted a slight wound on Hayden, observed the structure of the power Carlos had built up for hundreds of years with the momentum that he would not remain silent if even a slight injury was inflicted on Hayden.

Probably, only Hayden could understand this.

But it was not Hayden who came in, but Roo, so she had to do it. Once she approached this far, she had to destroy all of that and take it away to return it to its original owners.
