“Escape!”
“You wretches! If you don’t want to die buried in the dirt, run!”
The cut cliff collapsed. It slowly broke into pieces like splitting reason.
“Ahh, ahh!”
The sight was dizzying. Somewhere, a scream rang out, “Mom!”
“My, my daughter is in the house. My daughter is in the house!”
The house was buried under the heap of soil.
An aide hastily took his seat in the office.
This early morning upheaval would not be welcome.
The aide brought out the topography map of Portuta. A red dot was marked on the topography map. It was the origin of this incident.
The cliff that had been carved out was partially depicted on the topography map. That topography and that place were not good.
“We don’t have much time for this leisure.”
Aster pressed on his temple.
On the side, they discussed with the aides and details. Benjamin unfolded the topography map, carefully poking it with his hands.
The aides expressed their concerns.
“As the situation is urgent, we need to handle it quickly.”
“Has the source been identified?”
“It’s one of the villages in Portuta. The name is ‘Purote,’ a village near the harbor. A mercenary group has temporarily resided there, and the village has been developed. As Dolsan became famous, miners and their families settled, and some mercenaries took residence there, so the news spread early.”
“The extent of the damage?”
“The passage between villages is cut off, and part of the village is buried in the soil.”
The origin is presumed to be Portuta.
Benjamin quickly skimmed through the urgent report and mumbled.
“It’s not an ordinary earthquake.”
A royal guard responded from the side.
“Yes. Spider webs were mixed in the soil pile. They are lower-level creatures that hide in the soil and catch insects.”
“The collapsing of the ground is probably due to these land spiders.”
“Yes. It seems they destabilized the ground.”
Benjamin, feeling stifled, loosened his tight shirt and undid the buttons.
“We’re heading to Portuta.”
“Your Majesty, the internal investigation has not been completed yet.”
“Is that a concern?”
“……. or is it distrust?”
“Could there be such a disloyal feeling in the royal court?”
The royal guard kneeled.
“I will bring the warhorse.”
“When the preparations are complete, we’ll depart immediately.”
It was time to leave.
The time for leisure was over.
“Ensure the Empress’s safety to the palace.”
“Go back safely. The imperial situation seems chaotic.”
The Emperor and the investigative team headed to Portuta. Since Portuta had always been at the forefront of battles with monsters and led the extermination and war, the imperial response was prompt.
“Today’s farewell is loud again.”
At that moment, Windsor also became chaotic.
“I wanted to send you off more leisurely.”
Relatives grumbled with their tongues.
“Stay healthy.”
“Take care of your health with tonics. Gain some weight, and physical strength is important. If the body endures, the mind endures.”
Sharlof put on a shawl and stood in front of the main gate. Crimson hair shone outside the shawl. While adjusting the seam of the shawl, a glimpse of white hair caught the eye.
Leonardo reached out and tied the seam. The wrinkled hand was exceptionally white. The gaze lingered at the fingertips.
“I wish I could rest a little more leisurely, but things don’t always go as planned in life.”
“Don’t worry.”
This wasn’t a story for a granddaughter but for the Empress, an adult of the imperial family.
“Find your center.”
“…….”
“Anchor yourself firmly with roots. If the roots of a tree are pulled out, what use is it for the branches and leaves to endure?”
Leonardo touched Sharlo’s shoulder. It wasn’t about shouldering a burden.
“I will always be by your side.”
The arms that embraced tightly were firm.
Wherever you are.
“Wherever you walk, I will walk with you.”
“…Whether it’s black magic or monsters, don’t get deeply involved. Step by step, the chains become a shackle for Your Majesty.”
“I haven’t even started walking yet, but it seems you’re already restraining my steps.”
“Portuta is close to monsters. Moreover, Your Majesty has seen the ‘grave of monsters.’ It’s part of the post-war trauma experienced by mercenaries and knights. Those who are closest to the essence of monsters have experienced the grave. Perhaps, deeply involved, it might be a suggestion to withdraw.”
“I’ll be careful.”
“I hope my concerns remain just concerns.”
Leandro whispered softly.
“I see you getting involved again.”
Even if you’re told not to walk that path, you inevitably reach there as if crawling.
“This is also my concern.”
Even if you’re told not to walk that path, if you crawl, you might not even notice the blood pooling under your feet. Yes, to him, it was just a child.
“I will take my leave now.”
Sharlof, who stepped off the carriage, looked back.
“Is there anything left to say?”
“Later. We’ll talk later.”
“Sure. Since there’s later, let’s talk then.”
The carriage door closed.
“We’re departing, Your Majesty!”
The escorts saluted solemnly. Outside the carriage, the presence of the imperial guard was firm.
“Escort His Majesty straight to the palace,” the Emperor ordered.
The Emperor and the investigative team headed to Portuta. The investigative team, accompanied by the excluded imperial guard, guarded the Empress.
The early hour made the path silent. Whether it was due to the aftermath of an earthquake or dust, the road to the imperial palace was full of debris.
“I will close the blinds.”
The outside view was blocked.
‘I see you getting involved again.’
Getting involved.
Perhaps it might happen again.
The body became lethargic.
It felt like being left alone in an empty field.
‘Why.’
The body sank as if it wanted to protect itself from being connected to that place.
Strange.
Annoying.
Those feelings continued to scratch.
“It’s irritating.”
Why is it irritating?
The window crack twisted. Why is the road so rough? It wasn’t this rough before.
“…It wasn’t just an ordinary earthquake.”
Even outside, they realized the anomaly.
“It’s strange. It wasn’t just an ordinary earthquake.”
Sharlof, leaning on the window sill, glanced through the crack. The twisted gap gradually widened.
Beyond the crack, an old man briefly passed.
The old man had a bent back. The spine twisted, making it grotesque like a shrimp’s back.
The old man walked away with a cane.
His outline gradually blurred.
“Draw your swords, everyone!”
The warhorses jerked, lifting their front hooves in a fit.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
