Episode 66

“I’ll stop here. If anyone asks about me later, you have to be nice to them, okay?”

After saying those words, Jane disappeared right away, leaving Kelvin and I standing blankly in front of the magnificent gate.

Leaving Kelvin behind, who seemed to have a lot to say, I walked towards the gate first.

“Go in.”

“……okay.”

Although his voice seemed to have suddenly subsided, he still walked behind me as if he wanted to follow me.

Finally, as I opened the enormous gate, the things inside came into view.

Chandeliers adorned with sparkling jewels, dozens of paintings that give a sense of the passage of time, carpets that look precious but are made of unknown material, and armor that used to be shiny and ornate but are now covered in dust.

And it seemed like we were in the eyes of the dozens of people who were investigating all of that.

‘Are these kids also warlocks?’

Just as I was about to frown at them, who were sending me not-so-nice looks, their gaze began to shift towards the Dracolich that was following me.

[Oh, father?]

I was taken aback by the sudden change in their gaze, but soon they changed their hostile gazes towards me to gentle ones and began to return to what they were doing.

As if he didn’t really care about me.

As if I was relieved that I was dealing with the undead.

‘… … These guys.’

Only then did I realize.

These guys are a fortress of bones.

The reason I came here was because I had just stepped foot into the stronghold of the enemies I was supposed to be fighting against, and I didn’t even realize it.

‘I’ve lost all my senses, too.’

I should have figured this out as soon as I got in, but I figured it out so late.

Just when I was about to burst out laughing, someone started approaching us from afar.

“Hey~ I don’t know who you’re from, but you brought something great?”

Crack, crack.

The floor of the castle, which was not carpeted, seemed to be made of marble, and at the same time, with loud footsteps, the guy approached me with a soft voice.

“Could you tell me a little bit about the secret to bringing about such great things?”

The eyes are sharp, the mouth is wide open, and there is a suspicious smile on her face.

It’s like… … .

‘You look like that rich guy.’

The appearance of the lich guy who was left outside the tower was exactly like that when he was alive.

While I was immersed in such sentiments, he came up to me and approached the Dracolich without paying any attention to me.

“Wow, that’s amazing. The scales are also very sturdy… and I didn’t think they’d even solve the undead’s stench, and there’s no tear in the wing membrane either….”

As I was groping around the dracolich, the panicked dracolich was about to shout at me.

[Ah, Father… … !]

“stop.”

Bam.

I got caught between the guy and the Dracolich and immediately grabbed the guy’s hand.

“Huh? What the hell is this?”

Of course, the guy looked at me with wide eyes as if he couldn’t understand what I was doing.

“Even if you are a necromancer, it is problematic to touch the undead without consent.”

The guy looked at me with a blank laugh as if he found my words ridiculous.

“Oh, really. Since when has there been such a rule?”

Bam.

The guy who took my arm out of my hand nodded straight upwards as if he was relieved.

“You go up there and clean up the bookshelf. I brought the wyvern here to check on you since you were late, but you’re acting very selfishly.”

And then he disappears into there, wandering around.

I don’t know who he is, but judging by his attitude, he seemed to be somewhere between a leader and a person in charge here.

Whether it’s the way you treat me as an inferior or the way you speak to me.

Of course, I couldn’t help feeling dirty, so my expression rotted away, but there was something more important than that.

“What the heck is this…….”

“Can you hold a royal guard ceremony in that library?”

Asking for confirmation from Kelvin, who still doesn’t seem to understand the situation and is baffled.

Kelvin looked confused for a moment, but soon understood what I was saying and shook his head.

“But let’s go anyway.”

Once you’ve infiltrated, your first priority is to avoid being noticed.

It was already very noticeable as soon as you entered the door, but standing out any longer doesn’t help hide your identity.

‘I wish you could give me directions to the warehouse.’

Kelvin soon took the lead and started walking somewhere, muttering in a voice too small for the other guys to hear.

At that time, I was following Kelvin up the stairs.

“……What is your identity?”

Kelvin asked in a trembling voice.

“What on earth is going on here…….”

When I heard that voice, it was only then that I realized that I hadn’t explained anything to Kelvin.

As I sat there silently trying to gather my thoughts, Kelvin began to mutter to himself, seemingly anxious.

“Your Majesty…… Your Majesty……”

By the time my thoughts had finally settled in my head, I had already arrived at what appeared to be a bookshelf, densely packed with books.

Since there were no people here and there was little light except for the moonlight, the risk of being caught seemed low, so I called Kelvin over.

“Stop for a moment.”

“Huh?! Oh, I see.”

Thud, thud.

Sitting at the desk, which was originally a place to read books, I explained everything to Kelvin.

Why I came here and what I intend to do with them.

And about the situation the Queen is in now.

“None of the guys here right now are truly trying to save your queen.”

Jane, according to what the guy told me when he found out I was the Bone Fortress, the Bone Fortress wasn’t there to bring the Queen back to her senses.

Of course, those black magic guys were also investigating and occupying this castle to find out the secret of the Queen’s immortality, not to save the Queen.

Of course, there are other players who sincerely want to save the queen… … Well, I don’t know.

Perhaps the Bone Fortress and the Warlocks, who are trying to use the Queen, will just sit back and watch?

“……lie.”

The first emotion Kelvin showed when I spoke was denial.

Of course, I didn’t think he would believe me right away.

“That’s a lie, isn’t it? Don’t you think it’s nonsense? Why on earth would they……!”

“quietly.”

Tub.

As I covered Kelvin’s mouth as he was about to raise his voice, the bastard struggled and tried to get away from me.

Of course, I didn’t just sit back and watch that happen.

“Of course, you may not believe what I say, but I’m not asking you to believe me.”

Sigh.

As I took my hand away from his mouth, Kelvin looked at me with bloodshot eyes that looked like they were about to cry.

“I have something to say… something.”

“I’m just saying to wait a little longer.”

Sigh.

I looked out the window, and because it was a tall castle, I could see the whole kingdom at a glance.

The image of the queen, who continues to wander from place to place, is also the same.

“Hearing her words, I too became curious. What on earth is the Bone Fortress planning to do to the Queen?”

Kelvin said no more.

However, as if he was imagining something, he just clenched his teeth.

“I’m going to find out what these guys are up to, and I’m going to share it with you.”

“……If what you said is wrong, and if the Bone Fortress really wants to cure our queen, what will you do?”

Although I was troubled by those words, it didn’t take long for me to answer.

“Inauguration ceremony. No, was it called coronation ceremony?”

The minimum steps required to understand the Queen’s speech.

And the reason why I came all the way to this castle in the first place.

“I won’t let you give up what I promised to receive from you.”

“……Is that so.”

He starts to think deeply.

Of course, it wasn’t that important to me, and I could have achieved my goal with or without it.

Of course, if you have it, I just asked because I thought it would make things a little more fun.

After thinking about it for a very long time, he said to me.

“Do you know why Her Majesty the Queen’s guards can communicate with Her Majesty the Queen despite her loss of consciousness?”

How could you know?

Shaking his head, Kelvin silently began to remove the gauntlet portion of his armor, which he had never removed before.

Empty.

The metal that had fallen to the ground clanked clearly, revealing a forearm, and Kelvin stabbed it with his other hand, raising his spear.

“…….”

Ppujik.

Originally, the arm should have spurted blood with that sound, but there was no such sound.

Even though Kelvin had pulled out the spear, the wound on Kelvin’s forearm remained in the same position as where he had been stabbed moments ago.

“……This is.”

It was as if time had stopped.

Looking at me like that, Kelvin said indifferently.

“We are those who are willing to give up our lives to protect Her Majesty the Queen.”

Bam.

He looked at me and said, shaking the spear in the air as if shaking off blood.

“Therefore, we are subjects of Her Majesty the Queen.”

Whether it refers to the body or to the soul.

Or maybe it’s both.

I vaguely thought I knew the answer.

“I thought you wouldn’t be able to come this far anyway, I thought you couldn’t do it no matter how strong you were, it’s my fault for not telling you because I thought so, so I’ll tell you now.”

Swish.

Kelvin stood up, putting his armor back on, and headed towards the stairs again.

“If you are truly confident that you can restore the Queen, and if you do not intend to cause her any trouble, then follow me and perform the coronation ceremony.”

With strides.

I followed closely behind him, keeping pace with his footsteps.

“If you’re telling even one lie… turn around and leave.”

Still, he stood still on the stairs leading up, trying hard to ignore the sound of my footsteps without turning around.

“Even if you are not lying, if you fail, your soul and body will become subject to the Queen like us, if that is what you are afraid of…….”

“Since when have you been so talkative?”

Knock knock.

Patting Kelvin on the back, I said the answer I had already decided on.

“Let’s go quickly. Time is of the essence.”

“……You will…… until the end.”

Kelvin sighs deeply.

He turned around and put his hand on my shoulder and said.

“Don’t regret it, it was your choice after all. If you fail, don’t blame me…….”

Kwaaak.

He spoke with a hand that seemed to be squeezing my shoulder as if it would break, as if I had unconsciously applied force.

“……Please save our queen.”

With a voice that was so earnest that words could not describe it, he quickly took his hand off my shoulder.

Without saying any more, he began to climb the stairs in silence.

Step, step.

The higher we went, the more dilapidated the castle became.

A ceiling that looks like it could collapse at any moment, unable to withstand the passage of time, and an old wooden floor that looks like it could break at any moment and send you crashing down to the floor below with every step you take.

After stepping precariously over all of them, Kelvin pointed to a place as soon as he reached the top floor where there were no more stairs.

“……Come in.”

At the end of a narrow hallway barely wide enough for three people to stand, there was a wooden door.

The moment I opened the wooden door and went in, I heard a voice from inside.

“Huh? Who are you?”

And then what caught my eye was a man sitting cross-legged and looking at us, whose morale was incomparable to that of the guys down there.

For a moment my gaze turned to Kelvin.

I thought it was someone I knew.

“You are…… someone.”

As soon as I heard Kelvin’s words, full of caution, I realized.

This kid is a fortress of bones.

So there was only one thing I had to do.

‘Dracolich.’

Puhwaaaaak!

A green breath flew across the air.
