The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me - The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me chapter 82

82 – Balance (4)

‘It would be better to stay away from the empire for now. This war was started with the imperial family fully aware of your existence, so if you make a mistake, you may be held greatly responsible.’

It was the first princess’s consideration.

Yuuna’s runaway was truly unexpected.

The fact that he could fire that much magic in that state was amazing in itself, but the result was the worst for everyone.

In conclusion, the war ended with only scars on both sides. It all happened because of one person, Yuna.

As it was an empire that started the war after suffering a lot of damage, there would certainly be a lot of turmoil within the country as the war ended without any gains.

Perhaps the first princess who took the lead in this matter might have taken on a lot of responsibility.

I didn’t know the extent of her position within the empire, but since she returned from this war without winning, it was definitely not going to end normally.

Fortunately for me, it was that she didn’t take me to the empire.

If I had gone to the empire together, I could have been executed, so she helped me leave for another place.

Of course, not only the Empire but also the Allied Forces suffered irreparable damage due to Yuuna’s rampage.

In other words, war could not occur for a while. If anything, it was a good thing.

“Are you a mercenary? “It looks like he participated in this war.”

Thanks to this, I became a wanderer.

A state where you are not chased by anyone and there is no need to hide your identity.

Still, I had at least one place to return to, so I caught a passing wagon at a suitable place.

“… “Yeah, whatever.”

From noble mtl dot com

The coachman spoke to me.

As it was a historically large war, there was a lot of attention from the continental people.

Perhaps because it was a war in which neither side gained anything, the details of the situation would not have been reported to the continental people.

There will probably be wild speculation. Why did it become a war without a winner? What is the reason why each army was devastated? What was Yuna’s magic like and what was the empire’s technological prowess like?

“So, what happened? “I guess you said that both the Empire and the Allied Forces left their armies without any income?”

It seemed like Yuna’s last runaway was unknown.

Even Helia probably didn’t really understand what happened.

Even he probably doesn’t know why Yuna went on a rampage. Because she would be dead.

The last time I saw Yuuna, her condition was also not normal. Because you can’t use magic like that and stay alive.

What is questionable is that Helia has not expressed any position regarding the king.

If King Yuna had died, they would have announced him and quickly elected the next king, but they are not doing so.

In any case, it is a fact known through word of mouth that the reason the war ended this way was because of Yuuna’s rampage.

Then, from Helia’s point of view, she should quickly reveal him, put the blame on the dead Yuuna, and focus on recovery, but she is not doing that.

‘No, I guess we’ll hold off on announcing it for now.’

If it is revealed that Helia has lost a great force called Yuna, they may be attacked again soon, so they might hide it for now.

The fact that Yuna died does not seem to have leaked to other countries.

If that’s the case, maybe they’re just pretending she’s there to prevent another attack.

If that were the case, people inside Helia would be busy trying to hold people accountable for the war.

“I don’t know… ”

done. I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Anyway, I don’t know everything that will happen, so I can’t predict how the situation will unfold.

It’s not a situation where I can get involved, and there’s no need to.

What matters to me is that she’s dead. And nearby Syria will also do the same.

That was the only thing that mattered.

“huh? “What did you say?”

“I don’t know either. “All I did was retreat after receiving an order.”

“is it? Anyway, I don’t like what those nobles are doing. Just raise taxes on a false day… … ”

I pretended not to notice the driver and closed my eyes.

I tried to fall asleep to the sound of the talkative driver talking as a lullaby. There’s no need to answer anyway.

It was an empty feeling. Was this the end of revenge I wanted?

I do not know. Just thinking about that made my head hurt and my heart ache.

I just stopped thinking and left myself in the carriage.

“… “It’s been a while.”

There was only one place for me to return to.

A city of dark elves. Diria.

Since they live much longer than humans, they will still be staying in the same place.

In fact, it was not a situation for them to move their residence.

I delved into the familiar forest and broke through the barrier.

It was thanks to the dark elf tattoo he received when leaving Diria in the past.

“… Oh. “Who is this?”

“Master. Long time no see.”

The first thing that greeted me was Balus, who was swinging his sword like before on the outskirts. He was my swordsmanship teacher.

I had changed quite a bit since that day, but seeing him still the same made my heart ache.

It felt like I had returned home.

“Hey everyone, look who’s here!”

He still had a pleasant personality.

He could be said to have an unusual personality among dark elves, but thanks to him, he received a lot of help.

“ah. You came. Has it been 5 years? Has it been 6 years? “I came back soon.”

“Arion.”

Arion, who first saved me and accepted me as a member.

Led by him, the dark elves came out of the village one by one.

They were all people who taught me a lot and were like family to me during the eight years I stayed here.

The day I left here felt like it was yesterday. To that extent, their appearance remained the same.

I never thought I could feel this way after losing Regius.

After everything was over, I felt grateful to them.

“however… It seems like something has changed in the atmosphere of the city. I don’t think anything has changed… ”

“Let’s go in first and talk. “Welcome back.”

I entered the city, being welcomed by the dark elves.

It was still an incredibly technologically advanced city. The Dark Elves’ technological prowess was so great that even the Empire could not compare.

I said hello to everyone and entered a familiar house.

Arion sat down and served me my favorite tea.

“so. “Did the work end well?”

“finish… “It did happen, though.”

I explained to Arion everything that had happened so far.

Finally, even the doubts that remained after the war ended. He silently listened to my whole story like before.

“Right. Good job. Actually, I was watching to some extent. “We didn’t know what you were doing inside Helia, but we certainly had no choice but to observe the war.”

“okay. This is a war that ended in an unpleasant way in many ways. Well, from my perspective, it’s not a bad thing.”

“Instead, our position in the empire must have become ambiguous. “Once the war is over, we will no longer be able to belong to the empire.”

“you’re right. So, for now, I’m just going to wander around for a while.”

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

I felt relieved as I told the story that I had not been able to tell anyone for a long time.

There were times when I felt guilty, honestly. There were times when I felt like I was being cruel.

Of course, at some point I erased all those feelings, but that didn’t mean my humanity disappeared.

This means that it was nice to have someone who understood my situation like this.

I felt grateful towards them as if they were family.

“So, was there anything special going on in Diria?”

“Would there have been anything different about us? Five or six years is almost a moment. But now we are at the point where change begins.”

“When does change begin?”

“okay. I prepared for a long time and saw an opportunity. Actually, I was able to seize an opportunity through this human war. “Those who had not been seen in the forest for a long time have appeared.”

“Speaking of them… “I guess you mean high elves.”

“that’s right.”

High elf. I heard a lot about them while I was living in Diria.

Basically, they betrayed the Dark Elves, and that’s why the Dark Elves have an aversion to them.

I don’t know exactly how the dark elves plan to act, but they certainly have revenge as their goal.

“They are also called the Guardians of Balance. In short, it seems that they decided that this war could upset the balance.”

“hmm… That might be possible. But they had no involvement in the war. Humans probably didn’t even know they had appeared. But if they are trying to maintain balance, shouldn’t they have prevented the war in the first place? Otherwise, the entire continent would fall into the hands of the empire, which would have completely upset the balance.”

“That’s not the balance they claim. There’s something a little more profound. And I don’t think I can say I was completely uninvolved.”

“Are you saying they had some involvement?”

“To be exact, it will be after the war is completely over. Although we couldn’t figure out that part exactly. Anyway, it was a great harvest just to catch their traces.”

I continued the conversation with Arion.

It seemed like the time had come for their long-planned revenge to begin.

In other words, it meant that the dark elves were attacking the great forest.

Since the Great Forest is a kind of inviolable territory, there is no chance of interference from other races.

Their own war, which would not be recorded in human history, would probably unfold.

“hmm… okay. I hope you have good luck.”

“That’s right. “We’ve been preparing for a long time, and they probably just stupidly stopped.”

Because dark elves cannot use magic, other technological capabilities have developed dramatically.

High Elves are a race that is sensitive to mana and specialized in magic, so their magic has developed dramatically.

I don’t know much about the High Elves, but I didn’t think the Dark Elves would be defeated.

Because their technology was truly amazing.

“… Then Arion. “I want to help too.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your war. plural. I want to help you like I was helped. “Please allow me to add even just this feeble strength.”

“This is our job. “There is no need for that.”

“Wasn’t I also recognized as a member of the clan?”

He says this while showing the dark elf tattoo he got when he left this place a long time ago.

I wanted to help them as much as they helped me.

I was confident that I would not hold them back. Because I too have grown a lot.

“I have nowhere to go right now. “Isn’t it impossible to remain in this city alone?”

Arion made eye contact with me for a moment and then burst out laughing.

“… The stubbornness remains the same. do whatever you want.”

“thank you.”

So, the future schedule has been decided.

Maybe I just needed something to clear my head.
