The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 369

Chapter 369

The news of the demon tribes attacking Raziern in the kingdom of Leviina in the southern part of the Empire spread throughout the imperial capital.

To be precise, it was a raid on the Merchant Guild branch on the outskirts of Lazierne. In fact, the demons also attacked Lazierne.

However, the damage was not great. Because the number of demons that attacked was very small.

However, very large casualties occurred in some places in the outskirts where there were no guards.

The Merchant Guild branch on the outskirts of Lazierne was the place.

The list of victims included the name of Duke Arthur de Grants.

I already heard the report from Sarkegar.

Was used by Bertus.

I was wondering why the imperial family hadn’t grasped the revolutionary forces, but they already did. I just left it alone because I didn’t know if I used my hands carelessly until now, there could be a lot of trouble.

Bertus made a completely different decision after seeing that all other suspicious parts were buried just by the fact that it was an attack by demons during the attack on the nameless monastery.

Judgment that it is enough to eliminate the revolutionary forces in this way.

The name of the remnants of the Demon World is a kind of source of evil that can cause all events arbitrarily in the current situation and throw everything upside down.

Traces of a fabricated battle lined with corpses of demons. countless people sacrificed. A newspaper with photographs of the scene and the names of the victims.

I was watching it with my eyes wide open.

Duke of Granz.

Arthur de Grantz.

He died due to an attack by demons in a small country in the southern part of the empire.

“Why did this happen… … .”

Harriet was crying with her face covered, as if recalling the events of the Duke of Grantz, who had spent the day not too long ago.

Ellen was looking at the newspaper with her eyes wide open. Like trying to make sure you didn’t see something wrong.

“Let’s go see Liana.”

Ellen put down the newspaper and said that.

* * *

– It

was raining in the winter.

I am Cliffman Adelia Harriet. Ellen.

We who came to the duke’s house came to see Liana.

It would take some time for the body to be recovered and returned to the duchy. There were already many people in the Duke of Grantz family.

I wasn’t sure if they were relatives or not, but the helpless expression on the Duchess’s face, surrounded and comforted by so many people, spoke of the shock she was feeling right now.

Liana was no exception.

“uh? ah… … . Are you here?”

Harriet held Liana’s hand still, but Lianna seemed oblivious to what had happened to her.

Liana was out of her mind. I feel like I should be sad, but I can’t even sense what has happened to me right now.

Everyone doesn’t know what to say to comfort this kind of thing.

The people around the Duchess were saying something, but we didn’t know what to say.

I am.

I didn’t know what to say to Liana, who had done something I hadn’t done but had become.

I didn’t.

It’s not what I did.

but i can’t say that

Harriet quietly held Liana’s hand, and Ellen gently hugged Liana’s shoulders.

“… … .”

Liana was just staring blankly into space with unfocused eyes.

* * *

We stayed at the Duke of Granz.

The Duchess, who is sensitive to nobles, did not be sharp towards us staying at the mansion in this situation.

Still, at least she was an adult.

“Thank you everyone. Liana please.”

She seemed genuinely grateful that we remained here to take care of Liana’s condition.

Unlike Liana, the Duchess could not remain sad. When the body is recovered and returned, a funeral must be held. To do that, you have to talk to a lot of people who come to you in advance. In a lightning-like situation, someone had to stay awake, and that was the Duchess.

next day.

The body of Duke Grantz was recovered and returned to the duchy.

Liana stared blankly at the duke’s coffin as it was being carried with her eyes wide open.

Like I know what’s in there, but I can’t believe if it’s really there or not.

The Duchess stumbled over to the coffin and opened it once to take over the body.

– Uhhhh!

We all watched blankly as the Duchess collapsed on the spot. Liana was staring at him blankly.

“Oh Dad… … . dad… … ?”

Liana staggered closer to the coffin. Harriet was looking at Liana’s back with a pitiful expression, unable to stop or catch her step.

Liana casts her gaze down the half-open coffin.

Liana didn’t cry.

just.

I was staring blankly at something in the coffin, as if I had been shocked by something.

soon.

– Uh uh uh… … .

A suppressed moan began to flow from Liana’s twisted mouth.

– Uh uh… … eww. Ugh! Ugh! Ahh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Liana started tearing at her hair.

and.

– Flash!

Eerie thunderbolts across the pale winter sky began to engrave the sky.

– Flash! Flash!

-Kurrureurreung!

The lightning that colored the sky dozens of times and the fierce thunder that followed fortunately did not hit the ground.

– Aaaaaaagh!

But it was obviously not a normal weather phenomenon.

Psychic people awaken their abilities under extreme stress or extreme situations.

Just like I strengthened my self-suggestion several times that way and finally made my language bloom.

Riana de Granz was no exception.

Dozens of lightning bolts across the sky were now connecting from sky to sky, but Liana, who had lost her reason, might strike the ground with lightning bolts.

Everyone was already aware that this strange weather phenomenon originated from Liana.

The sky is running wild.

We need to stop Liana.

-Pajik Pajijijik!

And blue sparks began to burn fiercely around Liana’s body as she tore her hair out as if torturing herself.

It is dangerous as it is. People around the coffin might be swept away by Liana’s rampage.

before i can say anything

– Whoosh!

Ellen ran through the rain to Lianna.

-Pajijijik!

Ellen pierced the electric current that began to seep around Liana with her bare body while wearing magical power enhancement, and slammed her hand straight into Liana’s neck.

Ellen jumped in without a moment’s hesitation between the lightning strikes, where even one hit could not guarantee her life.

-puck!

Ellen lightly accepted Liana’s body, which was instantly incapacitated and collapsed.

Everyone was looking at Ellen with dumbfounded expressions, as if they didn’t know what had happened.

Ellen, with her quick judgment, prevented a second catastrophe from almost happening in a dire situation.

Ellen looks at the Duchess and says.

“I’ll take you inside.”

“Yeah… … . thank you so much… … .”

The Duchess stared at Ellen with a complicated expression and nodded.

* * *

In the mansion’s own bedroom, Liana opened her eyes a moment later.

“… … .”

Liana felt a headache like a whining in her head.

My body was as heavy as wet cotton. Liana was staring blankly at the ceiling.

It may be a dream.

It may be a bad dream.

Excessive drinking often leads to bizarre dreams.

So I don’t know when I drank or when I collapsed, but it might all be a dream.

Liana feels a vague wind.

Because dreams are so damn long. I guess it’s an extension of that.

Didn’t you hear only unrealistic sounds, as if something had actually floated? Suddenly, my father died and the coffin came to the front of the mansion and inside it.

All the things I saw that I never wanted to admit.

Dreams are shattered if they are shocked too much. I saw that and woke up from a terrible dream.

I wanted to believe that.

‘I’m fed up with mom and dad treating me as the only reason a failed marriage has to stay.’

I want to stop saying that.

If I thought it would be the last time, I shouldn’t have treated it like that.

So from now on, no matter who you deal with, whoever you meet.

Thinking that you might be seeing this person for the last time, I should think a little more and be a little more considerate.

Especially for my dad.

because I realized that

Now, I apologize for what I said, and I will become a daughter who will at least not get in the way, rather than a daughter who only aggravates the already bad marital relationship.

Still, I regret all the days when I ignored my father’s words and only gave me a face to face.

I’m going to make a little difference.

if it was a dream

like that.

I think

It’s not a dream.

It can’t be a dream.

He was staring blankly at the ceiling, holding each of his right and left hands tightly.

One is Adelia and the other is Harriet.

If everything was a dream

There’s no way these kids were looking at me with such a worried look and holding my hand.

Liana closed her eyes tightly.

If it wasn’t a dream

I’d rather run away with a dream.

couldn’t even do that.

Miserable tears flowed from Liana’s closed eyes.

* * *

– There was a funeral for Duke

Grantz.

In the rain, there were diggers wearing raincoats, and a priest dispatched from the Tuan Church stood holding a sutra.

He was reciting prayers and talking about the serenity of the dead and the purification of the resting soul.

After the lowering of the coffin, people who came to pay condolences were standing in line and throwing flowers into the pit.

Without even using an umbrella, Liana was watching the scene with her eyes wide open.

Liana, who couldn’t even cry, was still in the cold winter rain. Harriet tried to put an umbrella over her, but Liana stubbornly refused.

Like trying to punish yourself.

A lot of emotions were swirling in Riana’s eyes as she was naked in the rain.

Duke Grantz was a powerful aristocrat after all before he became a revolutionary force.

Numerous nobles dressed in black came to pay their respects, laid flowers and spoke condolences to the Duchess over his death.

and.

Among the mourners were first-year students from the Royal Class.

“… … Asmodians.”

Ludwig, dressed in black, opened his eyes and chewed his lips in front of the duke’s coffin with pure anger.

“I cannot forgive you.”

I couldn’t help but stare at Ludwig’s back as he left the flowers with angry eyes.

Regardless of personal acquaintances, all first-year students came to pay condolences.

Of course, among them was Charlotte de Gradias.

“… … .”

Perhaps aware of the situation, Charlotte threw the flower without looking at Liana, and left after a moment of silence. Charlotte made brief eye contact with me, but said nothing.

Saviolin Tana was also attached to escort her.

She didn’t even lay a wreath.

In this situation, there is something that only I can see.

It seems that Chanafell has carried out his mission.

Otherwise, there would be no reason Charlotte would have to look like that.

There is no reason why her eyes and expression when she sees a distraught Liana should be so strange.

Because there is no reason to put on a guilty face in a situation where there is no reason to feel guilty.

Of course, Mr. Epinhauser and Mr. Mustrang also came to visit.

Apart from the fact that he was a member of the Black Order, he was doing his job properly as a teacher.

Mr. Mustang saw Liana’s disillusionment and carefully hugged her while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

After laying the wreath, Mr. Epinhauser stood in front of Liana.

“If you need help, you can always find me.”

“… … Yes, teacher.”

Liana muttered the words absentmindedly, as if she were on an answering machine, but didn’t seem to think about the words themselves.

Mr. Epinhauser left those words behind, and our eyes met for a moment.

he didn’t say anything to me

but.

Somehow he seemed to know that this was not my work.

and.

Bertus de Gradias also came to the tomb to pay condolences.

“… … .”

Bertus looked down at the coffin with a hard expression on his face as he threw flowers on the grave.

Bertus then stood in front of Liana.

Seeing Liana bewildered, Bertus seemed to be thinking about something.

Bertus did something for the Empire. That would have been something Bertus had to do.

But he framed me and murdered Riana’s father.

I couldn’t say I didn’t do it, and Bertus wouldn’t say it was his.

Bertus said a word to Liana while he was also getting caught in the rain with a hard expression.

“I’m sorry. liana.”

“… … .”

It was an ambiguous word.

I am the only person here who can understand the ambiguity.

Liana took a deep breath while biting her teeth, probably realizing that she was in front of the prince.

“no… … . Thank you for coming. Bertus.”

Liana was saying thank you to someone she should never be grateful for.

I couldn’t look at Bertus’ face.

No matter what expression he was making, he had no confidence that his fist would come out when he saw that face.

Earth began to fill the coffin of Duke Grantz, which was almost covered with white flowers amidst the flowers of countless mourners.

“I’m sorry, Dad.”

Winter rain was streaming down Liana’s face.

“I’m sorry, Dad.”

Even though her lips were bluish from the bitter cold, Liana was looking straight at the grave of Duke Grantz.

“I was all wrong.”

What are you so sorry for? What are you so sorry for?

In the end, Liana started shedding clear tears that could not be rainwater.

“I… … . It’s my fault… … .”

So why don’t you come back?

I’ll do well now

I won’t act like a crazy bitch.

because now i know

You’ll do well in the future.

can’t you come back

Liana muttered as she watched the pile of dirt piled up on top of the coffin.

of course.

Duke Grantz did not return.
