I Was Sick of Loving You - I Was Sick of Loving You chapter 43

43 – Armis’ Revelation

Fortnight has passed since the day the fallen saint was attacked, and many things have happened.

It was revealed that the red cup possessed by the fallen saint was a holy relic of the Armis Church, and the empire was thrown into chaos with division within the Armis Church and massive oppression from the imperial family. A lot of blood was shed in the process, and the princess, who could not stand it, broke her silence and revealed her blessing.

With the appearance of a saint who appeared after hundreds of years, the divided church united around the princess. And the emperor, who treated the princess as someone who had no one because she was blind, extended a political hand to the princess.

The princess accepted the ugly touch without rejecting it. Thanks to this, the purge, which was aimed at innocent people, was taken away, and the imperial palace raid was finished with the best ending from the emperor’s point of view.

That’s how the incident ended, and awards and formal words of congratulations were given to us who had made a contribution.

The reward also included a title, and he was given a new surname and was able to put down the name Norman.

Baron Alic Douglas. That was my new title and awkward clothes.

For me, who only carried Norman and Brandt, the name was awkward, but I liked it because it cut the last remaining link between a family that didn’t feel like a family.

The awards and title ceremonies were over, and it was time to leave the dreaded imperial capital.

“Brother, your time is up.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

I packed my few things and headed out. Noon when the world is the brightest. The wizards busily preparing the magic circle, the warriors who had grown from thirty to twenty-two, and Iris, who looked somewhat tired, came into view.

“Good morning. Lady Gong.”

“… yes, good morning.”

Her weak voice bothers me.

“Where are you bad?”

“It’s just that I’ve had a bit of sleep. Rather, could you give me a moment when I get back?”

“I’ll give you whatever you want.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

A hazy smile passed across her face and the old sorceress approached us.

“Princess, everything is ready.”

“Then, make it work.”

“All right.”

“Please wait a moment!”

An urgent voice came from afar. When I turned my head and looked where the voice came from, I saw the princess running.

The princess approached us with hurried steps, breathing heavily and controlling her breathing.

“Your Highness, why did you come here without an escort?”

“I came secretly because I have something I must tell you.”

Saying so, the princess looked at us and bowed down.

“I owe a great deal of grace to all of you. I will live remembering the grace of everyone who saved me for the rest of my life.”

Far from etiquette, words of pure gratitude rang out, and the warriors raised their swords to their chests to show Northern courtesy. And our representative, Iris, opened her mouth.

“It was a great honor to be able to protect Her Highness, the princess.”

After Iris’ words ended, the warriors’ voices resonated in unison.

“It was a great honor to be able to protect Her Highness, the princess!”

The intertwined shouts filled the place and made the princess’ eyes red.

“…You guys are saved again by words.”

The princess, who must have been in a lot of trouble due to the incidents in the imperial family and church, said that and wiped her eyes. Then he walked towards me and handed me the letter.

“Sir Alic, please take this. It will definitely help you.”

“I will be grateful.”

He carefully folded the letter the princess had handed him into his chest and stood up on top of the magic circle. Light engulfed us, accompanied by mage’s incomprehensible words.

A sense of floating and dizziness comes, and the light scatters. The snowy landscape and the chilly wind informed us of our return.

“Everyone had a hard time. The memorial service will be held tomorrow, so rest in peace until then.”

With the sound of the warriors stomping, they dispersed.

“I have to report to my father, so please come to my room around evening.”

“I will.”

After our brief conversation, we went our separate ways. She headed to my father-in-law’s room, and I headed to the room assigned to me, carrying the letter from the princess. Less than a month had passed, but I opened the letter after roughly throwing my stuff into the room where it felt like it had been a long time.

“Lord Iris’ curse kept bothering me, so I prayed to Armis-sama every day. As if my prayers had borne fruit, I received a revelation from Armis-nim this morning. I’m not sure if this is the story of Sir Iris or Sir Iris, but I think it’s the story of the two of you, so I wrote this letter to tell you.

In order to overcome the bondage of the curse, you repeat your life by sacrificing the status of a demigod. Thank you for protecting my flowers. To repay this, I risked my revelation.

In the land of sand where even a handful of water is hard to find located in the east, a miracle left by a true god lies dormant, so go find it. It will surely be of help to you. And please understand that due to restrictions, we can’t tell you the exact location.

And now, misfortune is beating your partner. Even so, don’t give up. don’t break And trust your partner.

Kaian and I are rooting for your nobility.”

The content of the letter containing the revelation has come to an end. In order to unravel the contents that cannot be understood with a single reading, the contents of the letter were chewed over.

「To overcome the bondage of the curse, those who repeat their lives by sacrificing the status of a demigod.」 I was blocked from the first sentence.

It is understandable to say that a person repeats the cycle of curse and life. They were my life, so they must be talking about me. However, why does the half-god appear? Even the monster called me that, so why is it calling me that?

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure it out. Far from being a demigod, he’s more like a criminal…

Words that I couldn’t understand at all, I put them aside for a while because they cluttered my head.

「Located in the east, a land of sand where even a handful of water is hard to find」 I have to collect accurate information, but it seems to be referring to the huge desert in Newdel Kingdom.

“The miracle left behind by the true God is dormant, so go find it. It will definitely help.” Words that seemed to deny the true god, all the gods in the world. Even just interpreting those words, I felt disrespectful and put them aside.

I put that word away and focused on the words after that. It is the word of God who seems to know my life, and it is certain that it will be able to cut off her curse. The exact location of the place where the miracle rests is unknown, but it is a hope that shines overwhelmingly above other hopes, so you just have to spend your time looking for it.

With that promise, I turned my eyes to the most ominous sentence.

“Your partner is now experiencing bad luck.” It must mean my partner… Iris. That was fine, but the sentence about bad luck coming was very annoying.

It was mentioned in a divine revelation, so it wouldn’t be an ordinary misfortune. does it mean curse If you mean curse, why did you say bad luck is coming… I don’t know.

In the midst of feeling ominous at the completely incomprehensible words, her tired-looking face and powerless voice pass by this morning.

Has bad luck already begun?

Many emotions are entangled in that thought, and thoughts become complicated. Complicated thoughts give birth to ominousness, and ominousness consumes me.

I pushed back the encroaching ominousness and averted my eyes. Even if I continued to worry about the ominous things that could not be resolved, knowing that there would be no benefit, I ignored it and turned to the letter.

“Don’t give up. don’t break And trust your partner. Kaian and I are rooting for your nobility.”

God’s words of encouragement and support made me feel strange. I have never believed in God in my life, but they know me, bless me, and support me. It cares.

Who am I, the word that I am a demigod continues to come out, and I receive the blessings and support of the gods.

The answer does not come from empty consultation. I know there is no way other than just accepting it. Even so, the advice did not disappear and was engraved in my heart.

Repeating the question engraved in my heart, I waited for the evening to come.

As I was lying on the bed, the reddish room informed me that it was evening. It’s evening, so I move on.

Knock on her familiar door and wait for her response.

“Come in.”

With her permission, I opened the door and saw her with the scent of fragrant herbs tickling my nose and dark under her eyes.

At that appearance, a passage of revelation flickers around me.

“Why are you standing there blankly? It’s not like we’re only seeing each other once or twice. Sit comfortably.”

At her words, verses of revelation were scattered. I sat down in front of her, clearing away the fragments of scattered passages.

“Princess, what are you talking about?”

“Well…”

She didn’t answer right away, but paused for a moment. I waited for that figure, without urging, and quenched my thirst as the car burned.

“Hmm… I’m going to tell you something out of the blue, but don’t worry too much about it.”

“All right.”

He lied naturally.

“Do you know who Evan and Ellie are?”
