Extra Episode 1: Undisclosed scenes

Scene 1: Saint and Calia

Early in the morning, the saintess entered the visiting room of Solaum’s prison.

“I want to talk to Calia.”

“No matter how saintly you are, you cannot meet Calia. This is an order from Her Highness, the Princess.”

“Wouldn’t it be enough if only Her Highness didn’t know?”

The saintess handed the pouch full of gold coins to her jailer and said. An amount he could not earn even if he worked all his life.

So the jailer had no choice but to roll his eyes.

“… It’s only 5 minutes. I can do nothing more than that.”

“I understand. Thank you May the blessings of the Goddess be with you.”

The guard was away. After a while, he dragged Calia into a room on the other side of the visiting room.

There was a thick bar between her and Calia’s, so they could only see each other.

The saintess who saw Calia couldn’t contain her astonishment.

Not to mention her hair, her limbs were all cut off.

She had already heard about her condition, but seeing it with her own eyes, she was devastated.

“… Thank you. You may go now.”

“I have to protect this place in case of an emergency.”

“Okay, so be it.”

The guard guarding Calia’s side was worried, but the saintess approached Calia as closely as possible.

Calia, who was behind her bars, didn’t even look at her saintess side. At the request of her saintess, the jailer placed her Calia as close to her as possible.

A close distance with only bars between them. In any case, the saintess could have stretched out her hand and grabbed Calia.

“… What the hell happened?”

When her saintess asked, Calia moved her unfocused pupils and looked at her saintess.

“… Kick.”

A sneer escaped her lips.

“Will you tell me?”

“I would rather ask. Where was the goddess when I fought Edmund?”

“That… ….”

“Why did the Goddess take the holy sword from me at the critical moment?”

As Calia fired back, the saintess was momentarily taken aback.

However, the saintess, who soon concluded that she was a loser’s guest, asked Calia calmly.

Calia widens her eyes at this.

“Yes! Even in a situation where the useless guys fell one by one, I fought the aliens alone! I got caught in all the traps he dug, but the more I did, the stronger I got. Eventually I succeeded in breaking his sword! But, at that very moment. The Goddess betrayed me.”

“… ….”

“How would you explain this? If the goddess was really on our side, shouldn’t she allow me to kill him? But why at that decisive moment? Did the holy sword disappear!”

“… Apparently even the Goddess knows. That you lack the qualities to remain as a hero.”

“Huh.”

Calia laughed at the saintess’ conclusion.

“When did I not preach that I was in need? Didn’t the Goddess tell me that there is a reason why I still have the holy sword? But now that I’m defeated, are you going to reverse your words like flipping the palm of your hand?”

“At that time… ….”

“Could the prophecy about Edmund be like that?”

“Don’t talk!”

When Calia crossed her line, the saintess did not hold back and raised her voice. Normally, she was Calia who would have shrunk as it was, but Calia, who had nothing more to lose, just smiled and glared at her saintess.

“Two!”

Then he spat in the saintess’s face. It happened suddenly, so the saintess couldn’t avoid it.

“This, this guy… ….”

Her jailer, who was belatedly beside her, pulled down her Calia and then took out her club and tried to beat her.

“Stop it.”

However, the saintess calmly wiped the saliva from her face with her handkerchief and said, The jailer put the stick down again and checked the time.

“You have one minute left. Any last words you want to say?”

“Calia, it is clear that the Goddess has chosen you as her champion. It is also true that you have big plans for you. But it was you, Calia, who dumped all your plans. It is karma that the Goddess abandoned you at the last moment.”

“… You still wear it properly. So are you clean? Are you going to be some kind of perfect adult?”

“I am the Goddess’ agent.”

“hahahaha!!!!!”

At the saintess’ determined words, Calia laughed out loud. When the jailer, aware of her poor condition, tried to take her Calia back to her cell, Calia cursed her saintess one last time.

“Lucy Prisis. Keep in mind In the end, you will face the same fate as me. How could that smack her smug mouth… !”

But before Calia could finish her words, her jailer took her out. Even after that, Calia continued to say something, but her saintess didn’t hear it properly.

“You must not tell anyone about what happened today. You know?”

When the jailer came back, the saintess asked him. And after she heard his answer, she turned her steps.

Fear settled in a corner of her heart.

Scene 2: Convince the escort knight

When Arthur opened her eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

From noble mtl dot com

He stood up in a completely different landscape from the Rossier family mansion.

Two wizards stood in front of him. A short wizard with black pigtails and a wizard with pink hair.

“W… Where is this?”

“Stay still. I have no intention of harming you.”

Rafaela said in a soft voice.

“You, who are you! Wait… ….”

As Arthur looked back and forth between the two wizards, he suddenly felt that the black ponytailed wizard was oddly familiar.

Instantly he recognized who she was. He was a mage of the Noir Tower, but now he was excommunicated Mina Yun.

“You, you….”

“You seem to know my identity, so let’s get right to the point. I hope you will cooperate with us.”

Mina said, summoning her contract. Arthur was dumbfounded.

“Ji, are you saying that after you kidnapped me?”

“Knapped? That’s too….”

“Yes, you are kidnapped. But please understand There was no other way. Anyway….”

“Send me back right now!”

Arthur drew a dagger from his belt and threatened the two wizards. When he came out uncooperatively, Raphaella went over to Mina and whispered in her ear.

“… Shall we use that method too?”

“Not yet. Let’s do what Edmund said.”

Mina looked at Arthur and said. And she took a few steps forward towards the threatening Arthur, still holding the dagger.

“So, when I go back. Are you trying to escort Iris?”

“Ji, you dare not use the duke’s name indiscriminately….”

“Why would you risk your life to protect such a pervert?”

“What does that mean?”

“Listen carefully. Iris killed Duke Rossier.”

Arthur’s eyes widened at Mina’s words.

“No, that is nonsense. That day, I watched the whole sight! A wizard named Lucas was injecting drugs with a syringe to the ancestor duke who was coughing up blood, and the duke later took the syringe out, but the ancestor duke passed away.”

“… Stupid guy You mean you haven’t doubted it even though you’ve watched it all?”

“What is that…?”

“If you have an idea, try it. When a wizard named Lucas is injecting drugs with a syringe. So I didn’t even go in properly, but the Duke was already coughing up blood. So, was the drug in the syringe a poison or a cure?”

“… ….”

“And, since you also escorted the Duke to Rosie, you should know it well. If the medicine he takes reacts with any other ingredient, it turns into poison. That’s why the Duke adjusts his diet before and after taking medicine, right? Mystic Rose is a type of rose that is the symbol of the family, but it is not found in Roswell.”

“That… how do you…….”

“Information about the former hero, the duke, can be easily found by a wizard of my level. So let me ask you again. Do you seriously think the old wizard is the real culprit? He said he was even close with the Duke.”

After hearing all of Mina’s story, Arthur’s head got complicated. But really, as Mina said, there were not one or two suspicious parts.

“Ha, but then where is the evidence that the current duke is the culprit?”

“To be honest, there is no conclusive evidence. But circumstantial evidence abounds. First of all, she was the one who benefited the most from Duke Rossier’s death.”

“Yeah, but that alone….”

“Why not? Among the people who can contact the duke, they have a clear motive, and unlike the servants who have various restrictions, they can freely come and go from the mansion, and they can freely buy medicine that will harm the duke’s body. Ah, even being a noble, you must have excellent acting skills.”

“Don’t forget that you took the medicine out of the syringe without thinking about it.”

Raphael also added a word. Arthur dropped his dagger and grabbed his head.

He still wanted to deny it in his head, but in reality, the probability that Iris was the real culprit only increased.

– I have to meet Iris soon, did you convince me?

At that time, Edmund telepathically asked Raphaella.

“The time is running out.”

Rafaela whispered to Mina. Now it was her turn to deliver the final blow to him.

“You seem to keep denying it. Then we will prove it here.”

Mina instructed Raphaella to summon her Sphere of Truth.

“That, that….”

“Right. The ball of truth. If the truth comes out here, you will believe it, right?”

In fact, the truth orb is to decipher whether the tester believes it to be true. So, if the tester believes the false information to be true, the truth orb will be judged to be true.

However, Arthur, who did not know much about the Sphere of Truth, could not know the details of this.

“… I will believe you.”

“Let’s get started. Iris Rossier murdered her father, the Duke of Rossier.”

Arthur opened his eyes and confirmed the Sphere of Truth. However, the color of the truth orb did not change.

“This… what is this…… “

“Can’t you believe it? Then ask again Iris Rossier did not murder her father, the Duke of Rossier.”

As soon as Mina finished speaking, the orb of truth turned black.

Only then did Arthur accept the truth and his eyes darkened.

“… So what do you want me to do?”

He said in a weak voice.

“We are going to reveal this truth. To do that, I need your help.”

“… ….”

Now Edmund has about a minute left before he goes to see Iris. So Rafaela tried to urge her, but before that, Arthur opened her mouth.

“Good. I will help you guys.”

So Arthur also helped Edmund’s group.

Scene 3: Iris’ Nightmare

‘It’s another nightmare.’

After the second meeting. Iris fell asleep again.

Today, I always had nightmares. She was trapped in an endless dark space.

Something muddy liquid rose up to her knees, but when Iris looked down at her, it looked like red blood.

Feeling displeased, Iris looked around her.

Someone was walking from far away.

“… Calia.”

It was her bad friend, Calia.

Calia came in front of her with her glamorous appearance in the past. She wore a holy sword at her waist.

“You hated me that much, and in the end, you and I followed you.”

Calia mocked her as soon as she saw her iris.

“… At least, unlike you, I am not engaged to a young boy.”

“Are you bragging about that now?”

“Arranged marriage itself is something other nobles do, so what’s there to blame?”

“Because you are on the same path as me right now. Maybe the ending will be the same as mine.”

Calia’s appearance changed drastically. Her coveted hair fell out, and her arms and legs shrank.

Eventually, when only her head and her torso remained, Calia lost her balance and lay down on her blood. And she slowly began to sink.

“This is your future. Your year will end up like me.”

Before being drenched in blood, Calia spoke in a dry tone.

At the same time, the blood was gradually rising.

What had barely touched Iris’ knees earlier rose to her waist in an instant, and then to the bottom of her chin in the blink of an eye.

Iris struggled to get out of her blood, but the more she struggled, the more she got bogged down.

Eventually, when her eyes were completely soaked in blood, Iris saw her own reflection in her mirror.

A miserable figure, like Calia, with her limbs cut off and all her hair falling out. But what shocked me the most was her face, which had aged dramatically like her grandmother.

“Heo Eok!”

And she woke up at the same time.

Upon waking up, she quickly checked her mirror.

Fortunately, her limbs were still attached.

But her face had changed a lot.

‘This… Is this me?’

The dark circles that were already thick became thicker, and the skin was more damaged.

But most of all, her lustrous red hair had faded.

From noble mtl dot com

Like petals withered.

Quaaang!!!

Checking her own face, Iris struck her mirror with her fist.

Her mirror broke and some shards of her glass became lodged in her hand. The pain of being stabbed through her glass rushed through her red blood, but Iris didn’t scream.

It was miserable. In the meantime, she thought she was holding up well. She thought she had a good handle on her mind.

Her appearance began to wither.

‘Your b*tch will end up like me.’

Calia’s last words came to mind.

If it was her usual girl, she would have just let it go, but now she was afraid that the words would really come true.
