Chapter 121

Claire exhaled a small breath and called out his name.”Oscar….”There was so much light that it was difficult to look at him. I blinked slowly and saw a white sphere behind Oscar’s back.It was as if a large moon was right in front of it, and the brilliance it emitted was enormous.”I’m sorry I’m late.”said Oscar. Only then did Claire realize that Oscar’s heart was beating at a tremendous speed.All the strength was released all over my body. Even though I had no strength, I was relieved, and standing on my two legs was hard.The knights passed by the two of them, and it caught my eye as they entered the mansion.The light of the gigantic sphere disappeared, and Oscar bent one knee in front of Clair, who had collapsed from lack of strength.Claire, who was trying to explain what caused her, showed Oscar the restraint device.”Jeong, the spirits….”Maybe it was because I met Oscar and was suddenly filled with sorrow. I was afraid that I would never meet the spirits again.”What is this?”Oscar asked. Claire stuttered explaining.”So, Geralt Tedler… I don’t know how, but this is blocking my magic. So the spirits suddenly disappeared….””….””Ruby and Orfana… The two, the medium between them turned into powder and disappeared.”Claire said in a trembling voice. Oscar held Clair’s hand tightly.”What if we never meet again?”Claire asked while crying.”I’ll do something for you.””… Uh, how?””Somehow. lest you be sad.”Oscar pulled out a dagger from within. As one of the treasures of the royal family, it was a treasured sword made by a great spirit in the distant past.”… Isn’t that so precious?””I’m not worth more than you.”After saying that, Oscar pulled Claire’s wrist and lowered it to the floor.Claire blinked her eyes. Are you going to break the restraint ball with that dagger now?… Then my wrist is cut off, isn’t it?”I turn my head and close my eyes. It won’t hurt.””That, but….”Oscar directly returned Claire’s head. Claire had no choice but to close her eyes tightly.bang! bang! bang! Oscar held the dagger in both hands, cutting the restraint ball with tremendous force. The ground around it vibrated loudly, and dust rose.Claire endured the vibrations and turned her head and closed her eyes tightly.Every once in a while, with each loud noise, Claire imagined cutting off her fingers or wrists.bang! bang! bang!However, Claire didn’t feel the slightest pain during dozens of more terrifying sounds.As a result, Oscar began to worry.No matter how strong it is, it keeps hitting it with such a strong force, but I thought that Oscar might be having a hard time or getting hurt. Then for a while.”Stay there.”With Oscar’s soft voice, the vibration stopped, and the surroundings became quiet as if doing something else.Claire flinched in fear.”Okay, it will be soon.”With Oscar’s reassuring sound, Claire nodded her head.Immediately, I heard a loud bang again, and my body began to tremble at the vibration.Do it again dozens of times.Quajiic!It was when Oscar lowered his dagger a few more times.Surprisingly, the sound of the restraint ball breaking was heard. Claire opened her tightly closed eyes and turned her head.”Break, broken!”Claire exclaimed with a bright expression.The brick-shaped restraints wrapped around both wrists split into four exactly like a lie.The cracked cut surface was very clean. It resulted from hitting the same spot hundreds of times without any error.A dark light could be seen flowing through the split restraint ball. It seemed to be golden magic.However, without Clair having a chance to look closely, the restraint ball began to scatter like dust.At the same time, the bracelet on his wrist returned and he felt the touch of the teddy bear he had hidden in his arms.”The spirit is back! I’m so glad….”Claire, who was about to say that she was lucky, only then discovered Oscar’s condition.”….”Claire kept her mouth open and didn’t make a sound. It felt like time had stopped.The dagger used by Oscar was a treasured sword with an imperial legend.However, the handle, which had been studded with colorful jewels, was missing and fell to the floor.”Uh, what….”Claire blinked slowly and looked at Oscar. He was taking off the bandages on his hands with a nonchalant expression.When the handle of the dagger came off while striking the restraint ball, Oscar fixed the dagger with only the blade remaining in his hand and repeated the action again.The real power of this dagger was not in the handle, but in the blade.Thanks to that, Oscar’s palm was mangled with a knife.Tears welled up from Claire’s eyes. My eyes clouded so much that I couldn’t control it.”… No need to cry.”Oscar frowned at Clair like that. As I was wiping away my tears, I noticed the condition of my hand and let out a short sigh.He tore off his white shirt from the inside and wrapped it around his hand like a bandage.Claire couldn’t do anything and just cried. I was so shocked that I didn’t know what to do.”Uh, how are you…. Cow, hand….””I’m fine.”Oscar groaned in a nonsensical way, trying to calm Claire.But Claire’s crying showed no sign of stopping. Oscar pulled Clair and hugged her in her arms.Claire closed her eyes tightly and hugged Oscar to face her.for a long time like that”majesty! Inside, they found Empress Maleah and her maid, Saint Celestina. And….”The knight who came closer looked at the two hugging each other, froze, and blurted his words.”And?”When Oscar asked, the knight answered, ‘Ah!’.”I found Gerrol Tedler, and it was….””Why?””I’m already dead….””….””His whole body was cut in pieces with a knife.”When Oscar nodded instead of answering, the knight moved immediately.The real Claire, who barely stopped crying, said as if she remembered something important, suddenly fell from his arms.”Gerol Tedler intended to dedicate his empire to the kingdom of Themion by making Antonio emperor.”In response to the sudden words, Oscar stared at Claire without answering.”Themion Kingdoms are planning to devour the Empire!”Claire said as if frustrated.It was the same in the original. It’s not that Antonio sold the country, it’s that they control everything.The clues to the unidentified incident began to unravel at last.”So you were trying to kill me?”In response to Oscar’s question, Claire realized that the explanation was insufficient.”Their purpose is to destroy the charge.””….””He killed me and tried to shake you, Oscar. In the past, the weakness of your majesty was the empress’s majesty, but… They seem to think they are me now.”Still, Oscar was silent. Claire added awkwardly to the strange feeling.”Tea, I may be mistaken… Anyway.””It’s not an illusion.””….”Claire opened her eyes wide and looked at Oscar. His red eyes were staring at Claire without a single move.”They were right. My biggest weakness is… It’s you, Claire.””… what.””If anything happened to you according to their plan, I would be crazy.””….””It’s the first time I’ve been this angry. really… If you were dead, I would be crazy.”Claire opened her mouth in embarrassment. Oscar continued with a harsh hoarse voice.”I must have come to my senses when I was the only life left on this continent.””….””I’m really happy. You weren’t hurt, so….”Oscar still looked at Claire with an unwavering gaze.But his pupils were full of fear.Tears of relief began to drip from Oscar’s eyes. Seeing his tears, Claire was enveloped in an unknown emotion.No words could express my current feelings.* * *On the way back to the Imperial Castle, Claire lost her mind.When Claire wakes up after a few days. The capital was literally turned upside down.Claire opened her eyes slowly and realized this place was on the bed.”Baby!””master! Whoops, my lord… Oops!?When I opened my eyes, Ruby and Orpana’s voices were the first to be heard. Claire was relieved to see the doll placed next to the pillow and the bracelet on her wrist.’thank god….’”What the hell happened? Time suddenly stopped!””That’s right! How scared… Sobbing.”The spirits sobbed.
