127 – Victory Conditions (10)

Victory Conditions (10)

It starts with a light kiss.

An act to prove that Milia is a very attractive woman.

But does it end there?

At least that’s what Jim thought. This is just proof. So nothing more is necessary.

But, as always, the seven passions that take hold of his body are like this.

It makes his head sticky and makes him fall into lust.

and…….

“huh…….”

The same goes for Milia.

Unlike Irina, who was startled by the sudden situation and pushed Jim away, or like Tana, who only made brief contact to express her joy at being reunited.

Because she was the type of person who spoke her mind openly and honestly.

Their kiss lasted longer than ever.

“ha…….”

The two separated when they had difficulty breathing.

Zero distance. A transparent string of fate that has not yet been broken stretches between the two people who have gone beyond that distance.

A faint smile with hazy eyes and a flushed face.

“ah.”

Only then did Jim realize that his hand was held by Milia.

And the hand that was held like that was touching her chest.

Jim, who had lost his senses and was consumed by lust, mutters as he tries to break free from the sticky chains.

“I value premarital chastity… … .”

“doesn’t care.”

But once the reins were loosened, Milia did not hesitate.

You can’t get married?

“Even if you don’t marry me, we will be together forever.”

There is no reason for her to put up with something that is merely a ritual.

Because her love will take on a deeper and more solid form than his.

Swish.

Millia moved closer to Jim.

That alone was weighing heavily on Milia’s chest.

Overwhelming presence, weight. The hand that tries to go up again on its own.

“So Jim, if you’re going to push me away, now’s your only chance.”

Millia pushed the luggage over and climbed on top of it.

Jim hadn’t thought about anything until then.

If this continues, it will go all the way.

And if it goes all the way, Jim’s excuse of temporarily blocking relationships with other people in the form of premarital chastity will also no longer work.

Then, the relationship between the luggage and the people that was spread out in a centralized manner will also collapse, and the warrior party may fall apart before completing its purpose.

But I couldn’t refuse.

Because the seven passions that had taken possession of Jim’s body were holding him back.

And above all, the aforementioned face of Milia, who was climbing up after pushing herself over, was so captivating.

I guess it’s okay.

That moment when such a thought melts the reason in your head.

“Milia! We’re in trouble! Attack! Attack… … Ugh?! What are you two doing!”

Esmeralda ran in hastily, opened the door, and was shocked.

Esmeralda shut her eyes tightly.

A terrible reality that we don’t want to admit.

An awkward sight I didn’t want to see. And most of all… … .

“I told you to comfort me… …! I clearly told you to comfort me!”

It wasn’t that far.

Reality is painful. I even resent the situation that has come to this.

What’s more, what makes me the angrier is…

“Hmm?”

It was painful to see Milia tilt her head and look at him.

‘What the hell!’

He was angry that she, who would normally stare at him as if she was going to kill him, was so confident that she could beat him by arbitrarily setting him up as her competitor.

‘I’m not even interested?!’

Esmeralda became angry and even tearfully looked at the people around her who kept trying to tie her up with burdens.

Of course, Esmeralda did not yet know that to others, it might seem like she was sad that the man she loved had been stolen from her by someone else, right in front of her eyes.

“shit!”

It seems like everything in this world is designed to torment her.

It was confusing enough that the enemies had invaded right away, but I intuitively saw that the guy I had sent to comfort them was comforting his comrades in a strange way.

What’s more, the colleague even laughs at him and makes fun of him.

Is she being treated like this?

What on earth did I do wrong?

“Get dressed quickly and come out!”

The saddest thing is that she is also in a position where she can easily be misunderstood. I don’t want to get involved, but what can I do when the enemy has invaded?

Misunderstandings gradually pile up, and Esmeralda has no choice but to shed tears of blood.

“… … I’ll go right away.”

Esmeralda sighed, rubbing her forehead, Jim lowered his head as if he was ashamed, and Milia continued to sneer at Esmeralda.

***

The warrior party, excluding Millia and Jim, climbed up to the walls of the fortress city and checked the advancing troops.

What was different from what Esmeralda expected was that there was more than just one army coming.

“Irina… … . What do you think happened?”

“Um, well.”

There are two armies.

And one of them was a human soldier, an Imperial soldier to be exact.

The Imperial Army advancing towards the fortress city and the Demon King’s Army flanking them.

And between those two groups, the fortress city’s troops are ‘now’ pouring out attacks on the Demon King’s army.

‘Judging by the mood of the Imperial Army, they definitely did not come as reinforcements.’

Irina first saw the Imperial Army officers dealing with the Demon King’s attack from afar.

She is someone he knows too.

A soldier of relatively high rank within the Imperial Army.

Irina recalled the suspicions Esmeralda had raised about the personnel appointments that seemed to have a strong political motive for coming to support the fortress city.

“… … The first assumption is that we may not be the only ones to have noticed the betrayal of Lord Felheim Senova.”

“If it’s the first, is there a second one?”

“The second is the reversal of causality. The Imperial Army tried to attack Lord Felheim Senova first, and Lord Felheim Senova noticed this and conspired with the Demon King’s army… … . I think it’s this way, but what do you think, warrior?”

Irina’s theorem cuts to the core.

Her reasoning, which took into account the personnel selection of the Imperial Army officers, the location of Felheim Senova, the direction of the power struggle, etc., as told by her, who usually exerts influence on the Empire’s politics, was close to perfect.

“… … I think that’s right too.”

Esmeralda remembered her conversation with Felheim Senova.

What shocked her was that Felheim Senova took pride in protecting this place.

But if the Imperial Army decided to bury Felheim Senova, then it would be understandable that they would betray her. Wouldn’t it be foolish not to betray her?

“When I see the emperor acting like this, I sometimes feel doubtful about whether I am a warrior.”

“Right? Me too. The one who made me like this is the Empire. In a way, aren’t I also a victim?”

“Do you really have to defend yourself like that in times like this?”

“I’ve recently felt that your gaze has become arrogant and even blasphemous.”

“… … .”

Esmeralda couldn’t argue.

In fact, she was looking at Irina that way.

The ability to almost perfectly understand the situation when she said that Felheim Senova might have betrayed her, even without the Emerald Tablet.

Wouldn’t you know this well, since you’ve done similar things in the political arena within the empire?

“Okay, so what should we do?”

Esmeralda looked back and muttered.

There, Millia was seen climbing up the wall with her usual expressionless face, having finished her preparations.

‘Where did Jim go? Well, even if he was there, there’s nothing I can do about it… … .’

***

Felheim Senova was watching the two armies from a position a little distance away from the warrior party.

The imperial army marched to purge him, branding him a traitor.

The Demon King’s army reached out to him and encouraged him to betray.

-%$%@#$#^$!!

“Well, don’t rush us so much. Even if we attack the immortal army you lead a little, it won’t be a problem as long as you are alive. Here… … .”

The fortress city is attacking the Demon King’s army as if it knows nothing.

Not all of her subordinates are aware that she is being purged by the Imperial Army.

If you openly side with the Demon King’s army here, it will actually be less effective.

She has already turned her back on the world.

Would you feel guilty about tricking your subordinates into killing them?

That’s really funny.

Because she is a commander.

Even if it weren’t for her betrayal of humanity, she was the one who pushed countless soldiers to their deaths with all kinds of sweet talk and promises of honor.

It is because we have lived like that that we have been able to protect the city.

Sacrificing others.

That doesn’t matter to her anymore.

Then what is she after? Felheim Senova said, looking at the warrior party that was still observing the situation from the top of the castle wall.

“Isn’t it the best way to kill two birds with one stone?”

Felheim Senova raised her hand. In her hand was the Commander’s badge, and with her usual solemn expression she declared.

“All troops, prepare.”

I’ll keep my promise from the beginning.

In order to deceive the warrior party, they are now holding back the Demon King’s army.

The Demon King’s army is attacking the Imperial Army as per their contract.

And a party of warriors who decided to infiltrate the Demon King’s army by sharing a contract with him.

Did you say two rabbits?

No, you’re wrong.

‘If you want to gain the upper hand in negotiations, you have to bring them to an equal position.’

She’s after three rabbits.

Imperial Army, Demon King Army, and Hero Party.

From noble mtl dot nete

The intention was to bring them all down to a lower position than himself.

So that we don’t get purged like this again.

‘I have the most advantageous position in this situation.’

That was the most perfect winning condition she could imagine.
