It had happened several times. From the time four years ago when he almost died completely drained of strength while fighting in front of the barrier, it had continued.
Even though he tried every method, there was no mana and strength flowing inside his body, and he was only frustrated feeling like an ordinary soldier just barely swinging a sword.
Was he being suppressed by magic each time? Did he not even see that he was bound by emeraldcolored magic each time? He belatedly felt chills.
“To get rid of it, how…….”
Does Hayden know how? But he focused on diligently scooping up the stew and putting it into Lu’s mouth.
“Don’t rush, construction. Recognizing the problem comes first to solve any problem.”
What Lu did today was ‘recognize’. She saw the essence of the magic that bound her.
Then, what’s next? Why is Hayden helping her?
“Just do one thing a day. You did today what took four years. Don’t overdo it.”
He shook his head, stopping Lu from thinking further.
“I saw it today. Think about that only.”
“Thinking about that alone isn’t enough because I still can’t trust you as Calleta’s construction.”
“I’ve shown you how devotedly I’m tied up and even taking care of your meals, but you don’t trust me. That’s really too much.”
The man as big as a door looked at her with a hurt expression, as if how could he say such a thing.
There were so many expressive faces that he could even make that expression without hesitation. He would act amazingly if asked to.
“If you talk to me about parents again, I’ll jump.”
“You don’t even want to meet?”
“Not at all. If I’m told to meet, I’ll jump.”
He couldn’t stab his neck with a knife, but he might somehow succeed in jumping. While thinking vaguely, Hayden furrowed his brows as if he had a headache.
“That’s a problem. The Count and Countess won’t leave me alone.”
Why? Hayden quickly fed more stew to Lu, whose eyes were widened.
“They are the pillars that solidly support the monsterravaged West, so they must be given appropriate compensation. Like a daughter they haven’t met for several years.”
“I am…….”
“Stop thinking, General Gennes. If you think more now, you’ll fall ill, so finish eating and get some sleep.”
He blocked her mouth with a spoonful of stew, then added cold, hard reality.
“Don’t forget that we came here to subdue the monsters. Who would lose if we came to subdue and got sick?”
“…… You really …….”
“Are you too grateful? Not at all. Pay me back later.”
No, you bastard. Lu, who couldn’t say the words, decided to courageously finish the whole bowl anyway. She was a knight who knew all too well that it was her loss if she got sick.
Receiving service from the Emperor, it was painful, but let’s think about it later. Thoughts of parents, everything. The already drained body was sending signals that if she didn’t fall asleep now, she would regret it greatly.
[Star Icon]Lu, who had postponed everything to tomorrow’s self, regretted it as soon as she became tomorrow’s self.
Receiving the bright morning sunlight and waking up, Calleta’s construction, Lu, had become a person who had slept and came out of Emperor Perseita’s accommodation. She wanted to die.
“It’s fine, General. A person can sometimes even steal the bed of an emperor from another country.”
I want to kill that scoundrel too. Where’s the tea kettle!
“It would have been proper to send me somewhere else.”
Usually, there is no emperor who offers his bed to a diplomat from another country. Neither is there an emperor who orders breakfast.
Yet there’s one here doing that. Well, let it be. With his eyes darkening under them, Lucius mechanically chewed on a sandwich, glancing over the poppy field beyond the horizon.
“Can you see?”
Hayden sat beside her, folding his long legs. It’s been two days since he’s been stationed at Belfort. The reason the emperor didn’t move from here was simple.
“I can see.”
The inside of her mouth felt dry, but since Hayden was watching whether she ate it all, she had no choice but to eat the roughly stuffed bread with vegetables and meat.
Lucius looked at the squirming mana mass in the distant horizon.
It was now visible. She couldn’t feel mana as intensely as a wizard, but she could notice something so terrifyingly clustered even with her dull senses.
With her eyes peeling back a layer, she strained and saw something transparent squirming.
“If I can see it, it’s a big problem.”
She had never seen such a phenomenon in Kaleta.
While Lucius was down yesterday, Imperialle had suppressed a monster horde twice that appeared from the clustered mana in the afternoon and at night, she said.
Thanks to that, Belfort was overflowing with monster meat. Even now, in one corner of the fortress, the butchers were frantically cutting meat.
Even idle Imperialle members joined in and cut large pieces. The sliced meat was first distributed to the commoners, who were most shocked by the monster wave.
“It’s a big deal, so we can’t leave and keep watching. Drink this too. There’s plenty more meat.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
