“What does the Phoenix Lord say, Your Majesty?”
Serven hastily asked.
It was no coincidence that the Phoenix had caught up to the wildly running carriage. His face revealed the whirlwind of ominous thoughts swirling in his head.
“Is there news worse than Her Majesty tearing up the capital? Is there?”
“No… that’s not it.”
“Then what is it? Ah, please… speak. I know my words are poor, but my heart feels like it’s going to burst right now.”
Serven really looked at Rasilia while rubbing his chest.
He was aware that showing his anxiety so candidly was perhaps inappropriate.
However, he didn’t think it was wrong.
It must have started then, when part of his consciousness was stolen due to some trick performed by the royal foundation’s master.
Ever since the Empress looked straight into his eyes and returned his consciousness, Serven couldn’t hide anything from her.
It happened unintentionally. Yet, he didn’t find it strange.
Hiding something from someone who had looked so deeply into him seemed meaningless.
Serven didn’t realize, but his previous resentment toward the Empress had melted away like snow since that day.
“So, Your Majesty is not the mutant.”
“……Yes?”
“Is that true?”
Both shadow knights opened their mouths with similar expressions at the same time.
It was as unbelievable as Rasilia.
“Then… no, then what does that mean?”
“It must be a demon.”
“A demon… another demon has appeared?”
“It seems so.”
Rasilia locked eyes with Dekan.
Her fears had become reality. A demon existed that had taken the rituals of the royal foundation master and Count Pielion. And now it showed itself.
“It’s fortunate that Your Majesty led the guards, so people won’t confuse the presence of the demon.”
“Peep!”
Pipi nodded its head.
But calling it fortunate was overly optimistic.
Dekan muttered as if talking to himself.
“The appearance of a demon… will bring chaos to the Empire. A great one at that.”
No one could refute Dekan’s words.
(This is a time separator.)
“……Ah, quite fast.”
If he spread his black wings entirely, he could darken an entire plaza.
Standing at the top of the capital central plaza’s tower with his wings spread, the demon squinted his eyes and stared into the distance.
He saw clearly.
The being inheriting Bahamut’s blood was coming riding on a horse.
The mix with human traits was convincing. It was ridiculous, but now he looked almost human.
“It’s absurd, totally absurd.”
The demon who revealed himself as Saint Malik, no, usually masquerading as Saint Malik, was Hasteya who flicked his finger tips.
Rumble…
Then, a building somewhere near the plaza crumbled down.
“Aaargh!”
“Uwaaah!”
Screams of humans and the sounds of dying breaths followed.
“You’ll come back eventually, Bahamut.”
Thump, crash!
Hasteya applied force to his toes. The smooth marble tower began to crumble slightly.
“I’m doing this tedious work to take you.”
Hasteya flapped his wings and lifted his body.
Simultaneously, the tower completely collapsed.
Whoosh!
Hasteya flew in the opposite direction of the approaching guards.
Before that, Hasteya didn’t forget to set a stillstanding building on fire.
(This is a time separator.)
Peck, peck.
This time it was a pigeon.
“Peep?”
Pipi found the pigeon sitting on the roof of the carriage and pecking cautiously at the window frame.
“Ah… now even the carriage.”
Dekan muttered a small, useless worry as he opened the window.
Sure enough, the pigeon passed by Dekan and went straight to Rasilia’s side.
The pigeon, nodding its head as if bowing to Pipi, stretched one foot toward Rasilia.
“It’s you again. You’ve worked hard.”
Rasilia untied the string around the paper and handed it to Dekan. A pigeon stealthily approached, attempting to nuzzle Rasilia’s head.
“Coo!”
Then, Pipi abruptly kicked the pigeon’s head.
“Coo!”
The pigeon let out a surprised coo. Pipi showed no mercy.
“Coo! Coo!”
As if scolding the pigeon for daring to land near her, Pipi chased it away.
“Coo….”
The pigeon, its head bowed, flew out and perched on the carriage roof.
Serben watched the scene with keen interest before asking,
“Your Highness seems to dislike doves. Is there a reason? Has the dove done something wrong?”
“Coo!”
Pipi let out an indignant coo.
The reason was absurd. The pigeon had been incredibly rude.
“What did you say? I feel like you’ve answered me.”
Rasilia paused to look at Serben before answering.
“Are you certain that I understand what Pipi is saying?”
“Hm? Wasn’t that always the case?”
Serben seemed genuinely confused.
“Isn’t it more strange if the Empress and her bird don’t communicate?”
By the gaze of others, that would indeed be the case.
Rasilia realized that her efforts to not be mistaken as Pipi’s companion had been in vain.
Everyone else already considered her to be the true companion.
Dekan noticed Rasilia’s peculiar expression and interjected,
“You could never hide it, Your Highness.”
“…..Seems so.”
Rasilia sighed softly, causing Serben to look puzzled.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
