Episode 505
– Ugh…!
“…Khak.”
Serena, with both arms held by her subordinates, grits her teeth and stomps on Frey’s head as he falls on the floor.
“Please calm down!!”
“Put this down. I’m going to kill this bug today.”
“No!! You know what will happen if you do that!!”
The subordinates tried their best to stop Serena, but determination appeared in her eyes.
“I will take full responsibility. All you have to do is testify that I killed him.”
“Serena!!”
“Actually, this wasn’t the first time I tried to kill him.”
Saying that, Serena coldly looked down at Frey, who was coughing up blood and writhing on the floor.
“I’ve already poisoned you dozens of times, cursed you, and attempted assassination, I can’t even count.”
“Ugh…”
“But for some reason, that devil-like guy continues to live with his insect-like vitality.”
“…….”
“Like an idiot, without even knowing how much of a negative impact his existence has on this world.”
Frey, who had been breathing heavily for a while, eventually lost consciousness as he heard her mutterings full of venom.
– Crackling…!
“So, I have no choice but to do something before it’s too late.”
Serena stamped Frey’s head with her shoe once again.
– Crackling…..
“I’m warning you. Everyone, just step back.”
At the same time, as terrifying deadly force begins to emanate from her body, the subordinates holding Serena begin to retreat one by one.
“The poison and curse I placed on you should have taken effect by now.”
As everyone stepped back, Serena forcibly tilted Frey’s limp head back and began to whisper coldly.
“But seeing you walking around so well, I guess you gave your soul to the devil.”
“…….”
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
A sharp blade protrudes from the fan she aims at Frey’s neck.
“No matter how much you do, if your neck is pierced right here, you have no choice but to die.”
The moment Serena said that, she was about to plunge the blade into Frey’s pure white neck.
“Please let me go to hell, Freyr…..”
– Rustling…
“hmm?”
A hint of popularity felt behind her.
“I told you not to come closer…”
Serena muttered that in a venomous voice that was different from usual, and looked back, exuding murderous intent.
“…ah?”
Her eyes soon turn round.
“……..”
“Princess?”
For some reason, Clanna appeared behind her and was approaching her with a stern expression.
“Princess, how on earth do we get here…”
“You don’t need to know that.”
Serena’s subordinates, who were trying to quickly approach Klarna, stop at her firm words.
“Serena, that’s enough. Please stop and step away.”
“B-but…”
“Please.”
Eventually, when Klarna said that, Serena began to close her mouth and make a complicated expression.
“…I will personally interrogate you.”
-Sreung…
Then, after hearing Klarna’s confident voice, she reluctantly put away the blade and lowered her head.
“Excuse me.”
And a moment later, she bowed her head, said that, and quietly left the interrogation room.
“No, but… how did the princess come here?”
“Didn’t you come with the great wizards?”
“You idiot, they were right next to us.”
“Well, then how on earth…?”
Eventually, even her subordinates, who were talking about Klarna’s sudden appearance with blank expressions, left the room one by one.
“…….”
Soon, silence began to fall in the interrogation room.
“Hmm.”
“…Fray.”
In that silence, Klarna looked around for a moment and began pouring the potion she had in her arms into Frey’s mouth.
“Cluck, clack…”
After a few minutes, Frey regained his senses by coughing dryly, and his eyes turned to Klarna.
“…Am I going to be scared today again?”

A look of confusion crossed Frey’s face for a moment, but before I knew it, he had a playful expression on his face and was asking that question.
.
“You have defiled the pure princess, so you are a traitor.”
“It was the pure princess who gave me that order…”
“…Let’s agree to a dispute.”
It was a joke they always exchanged, but unlike Frey, Klarna’s expression was very dark.
“Anyway, you are truly self-indulgent.”
“Okay, so this is how it all happened.”
Frey sees that and realizes that the situation is unusual, and quietly smiles.
“…How did you come here?”
“I teleported.”
“Are you already able to use teleportation magic on your own?”
Then, upon hearing Klarna’s words, he widens his eyes and asks that question.
“But how on earth do you know this place…”
– Sreuk…
“…oh.”
Eventually, an old diary pops out from Klarna’s arms, and Frey makes a blank expression.
“I must have put it in the drawer…”
“He was fluttering alone at his desk.”
“Ugh.”
Frey, who heard those words, let out a short moan, and Klarna, who was lying on the floor, lifted his head onto her lap and added.
“There’s no use trying to hide it. I’ve seen almost everything in the diary.”
“…….”
“And I also compared it with the ‘original’ next to it.”
“……..!”
“You really changed a lot.”
Frey and Klarna’s gazes quietly cross each other.
“You stopped my rampage. Thanks to you, I was able to avoid becoming the emotionless tyrant described in this diary.”
“No, you weren’t that kind of person…”
“You prevented the defeat of the empire and a humiliating negotiation. And, you saved the princess who was destined to die without knowing the truth.”
“The princess.”
“Besides, the contents of the diary have changed because of you… The number of times my deep despair has changed into shining hope… I can’t even tell you all with my mouth right now.”
Klarna said so.
“So, please answer me.”
“……..”
“You are the one who has changed the contents of this diary several times so far.”
I ask a question with a trembling voice.
“You can also change the last story in this diary, right?”
“yes?”
After hearing those words, Frey reached for the diary with a puzzled expression.
“…under.”
He reads the last page of the diary for a moment, then sighs and replies.
“I’m sorry, Princess. This has changed.”
“…….”
“If you have seen the original, you would know how cruel and terrible the ending of this diary was…”
“So, this is your final plan?”
Klana, who swallowed dry saliva without realizing it, closed her eyes tightly and asked.
“Just as written in this diary. Is this really what you want, to disappear with all the hatred and shame written over it?”
“The princess.”
Frey gently holds her hand and whispers weakly.
“On the hills of my hometown, beautiful evening primrose flowers bloom at this time of year.”
“What are you talking about?”
“And on the other side, dazzling sunrise flowers bloom.”
Frey’s eyes look at Klarna, who doesn’t know what’s going on, and Lee Chae is young.
“I can’t forget the games I played with my childhood friend in that garden until late at night, and the vows we made to each other while looking at the moon rising in the sky.”
“…………”
“Likewise, I still can’t forget the oath of loyalty I made to my young lord while kneeling in that garden.”
After saying that, Frey smiled brightly.
“If you can survive, if you can continue your life instead of me. I am satisfied with that.”
After speaking with a pale face, Frey closes his eyes and mutters.
“By the way, am I now resting my head on the princess’s lap? Oh my god, it really feels like a dream…”
“…your heart is so cold.”
Klarna, who was trying to turn her head away from him, held back the tears that were about to burst out and placed her hand on Frey’s heart.
“I can quell the cold with my sun’s mana. So…”
“Please don’t. I received this curse as part of it.”
But Frey politely takes her hand away.
“You need this to be able to fight on equal footing with the Demon King. I didn’t know that before, so I suffered a crushing defeat.”
“Devil…”
Klana heard that name and quietly gritted her teeth.
“Now that I think about it, today was the day the Demon King declared war. It was a good thing I received the curse in advance.”
“…Stop it.”
“yes?”
“Stop it!”
Then, she suddenly grabbed Frey’s collar and started yelling in an angry voice.
“Please stop!!”
“what…”
“Please, stop doing this….”
Before she knew it, the tears that had begun to fall from her eyes were falling on Frey’s chest, who was completely covered in curses and poison.
“Why on earth did my body become like this…”
“It’s because I’ve been imbued with Serena’s poison and curse since I was young. It seems like it’s spread a bit these days…”
“You could only pretend to get hit!!”
“It’s quite difficult to deceive her. There’s no real solution other than to attack her directly…”
“Then what about you!!”
As Klarna’s cries echoed through the room, Freyr spoke in a hushed voice, avoiding her gaze.
“I’m the type of person who will disappear anyway. This doesn’t really matter…”
“Don’t say that!”
“…Princess, it’s time to leave.”
Then, he pats the back of Klarna, who is crying with her head buried in his arms, and whispers.
“Now, you will have to stay away from me for a while. My servants and I will have to go to the outskirts, and the princess will have to guard the imperial palace…”
“no!!”
“This is not the time to be foolish.”
Nevertheless, when Klarna shakes her head and does not break the hug, Frey sighs and speaks.
“People are coming. If we delay any longer, we might get caught.”
“…I will change it.”
At that moment, Klarna slowly raised her head and began speaking in a determined voice.
“Just as you changed the contents of the diary and saved me, I will change the last page of the diary.”
“…….”
“So just wait. Don’t die.”
Clanna, covered in tears, tries to keep a cool expression and concludes her speech.
“It’s an order.”
Frey, who was wiping away her tears with his hand, tried to say something with a bitter expression.
“…All right.”
He soon changed his words, nodded quietly and hugged Klarna.
“Is it a promise…?”
“As expected, you are kind, princess.”
That was their last conversation that year.
.
“…Should we attack her right now? No, she is still the princess.”
“………….”
As Klarna comes out of the interrogation room, Serena appears restlessly wandering around.
“Ah, princess!”
And after a while, Serena stops in front of her and looks surprised.
“You’re safe! I’m glad…”
“…….”
“I thought I should go in because it was taking so long…”
“Let’s get out of this unpleasant place first.”
“Ah yes.”
Clanna walks outside with her and quietly looks up at the sky.
“It’s already morning…”
Just as Clanna said in a sleepy voice, the sun was already rising.
“Princess, please forget about the rather unpleasant incident that happened today.”
Serena reads Klarna’s dark expression as she looks at the sun, and comforts her in a low voice.
“The Empire is victorious, and there will be no more trials.”
“……..”
“The idiots who were destroying the empire have been confined to the outskirts, the nobles are all cooperative, and the forces of evil have been rooted out.”
That voice soon changed into a confident tone.
“From now on, for the empire and the princess, there will be only glory…”
– Kuuu!!
“hmm?”
Out of nowhere, an owl flies towards her.
“Emergency call…? But, it’s probably not worth it…”
With a puzzled expression, he accepted the letter the owl was holding.
“…….!?!?”
Soon, Serena takes a step back with a shocked expression on her face.
“Demon Lord…? Declaration of war…?”
“…Serena, I’m sorry.”
Clanna’s lips, as she mumbles while looking at Serena, are trembling with tension.
“This can’t be true… There’s some mistake…”
“This is just the beginning.”
The torn last page of the old diary in her hand was quietly fluttering in the wind.
