72 – Revenge (4)

The war started quickly.

The Empire began its advance on a similar date as expected, and the western kingdoms, including Helia, also went to the front.

A war in which most Western kingdoms participated. Maybe if they were defeated this time, the empire would unify the continent.

Therefore, there was a solemn energy in the battlefield.

“majesty. The enemies are coming. “The number of troops is slightly higher than expected, but I don’t think it’s a big problem.”

A knight brings news to Yuna.

Yuuna stood up from her seat in the barracks with an indifferent expression.

She stood in front of everyone and raised their morale, and the knights roared.

And the war began.

***

‘Please stay by my side.’

All Yuuna ordered me to do was to stay by his side.

Battles may be taking place on various battlefields, but the terrain here was such that two armies were clashing over a long ridge extending from north to south.

Since Helia’s troops occupied the high point of the ridge, it could be said that Helia had an advantage in terms of topography.

The imperial army attacks us from below the ridge, and we defend the high point.

However, it would not be an easy battle due to the imperial army’s magical engineering weapons.

Yuuna was planning to use large-scale magic to bombard the imperial army from slightly behind the top of the ridge.

Because it was a relatively safe location, the staff was located in the lowlands a little further to the west.

The number of troops guarding Yuna right next to her was not small, but it was not so much that she could not be dealt with alone.

If we assume the distance was a little further away, there were many squads, but the distance was quite long.

Dung- Dung-

The sound of drums was heard, signaling the start of a full-scale battle, and at the same time, Yuna began casting magic.

-Oh oh…

A hot sphere begins to form in the sky, as if forming a giant sun.

All the surrounding troops were amazed when they saw him. It was surprisingly powerful magic for me too.

Duwoong-

And the sphere that Yuuna threw flew heavily deep into the enemy’s camp, instantly devastating the enemy troops.

As if a huge bomb had been dropped, the place became a wasteland in an instant.

It was truly a great power. Considering that this would happen just a few more times, I honestly didn’t think the Imperial Army could win.

However, the imperial army did not remain still.

They also fired weapons armed with the Empire’s latest magic engineering technology, and their power was not something to be ignored.

Paaat-

But they were all blocked by Yuna’s magic.

The magic bullets flying across the sky were blocked by Yuuna’s huge magic barrier and disappeared.

None of their attacks caused any damage to our troops.

Despite the empire’s high technological prowess, battles were conducted in a primitive manner.

‘Yuuna’s skills are better than I expected. ‘I shouldn’t take too long.’

Now that the battle has started, if things go like this right away, Helia will win easier than expected.

My original plan was to monitor the situation for a bit, but I had no choice.

“Whoa… Whoa… ”

Yuna was breathing heavily as if she were exhausted after using huge magic in succession.

Even though it was her, she was alone. Your magical power will gradually decrease, and your physical limitations will also come to an end.

Of course, the damage to the imperial army was already significant. Yuna was still capable of a few more attacks.

The period of time Yuna used magic became longer, and the tension of the guards instantly relaxed.

It was a shape that appeared as the victory began to decline.

Sereung-

From noble mtl dot com

I drew my sword. He drew his sword and stared straight ahead.

For a moment, the surrounding troops looked at me, but they stared straight ahead again as if it was no big deal.

I guess he realized that there was no immediate threat around him and thought he could just relax.

But their thinking was wrong.

Kugugugugung-

When Yuna used large-scale magic again and a hole appeared in the imperial army like a swarm of ants.

When the troops were clenching their fists and smiling, confident of victory.

When Yuna was taking a break, exhausted from the continuous massive magic.

“Ugh, huh-?”

I approached Yuna and kissed her.

gulp-

“B-Beryl? Well, now we are at war… !”

And with Yuna and the surrounding troops panicking, I took out a small vial from my pocket and poured it on her head.

It was a drug that returned hair color to its original color, given to it by the dark elves.

I’ve had it for a long time just for today.

“uh… … ?”

My hair is slowly turning back to its original blonde color.

And when Yuuna sees him, she is staring at me blankly, not realizing what is happening.

“… long time no see. “Yuuna.”

I waved my messy bangs and said hello to her.

“… Ben?”

Yuna spit out that name without even realizing it. However, it did not appear as if he was aware of the situation.

It seemed like he said those words without realizing it, looking at my face.

I looked down at her and pulled out my sword.

Clap- Clap-

And in an instant, he cut off the heads of the troops around him.

It wasn’t difficult. From the beginning, there was no one in this kingdom who could follow me with pure force.

They were all decapitated before they could even draw their swords.

There were also seniors who had once lived together and enjoyed joining the team and had received help as Yuuna’s escorts, but there was no inspiration.

Just by looking at the severed head of a knight rolling down the ridge, you will soon realize the situation here from below. That’s all I thought.

“Ben… It’s Ben… ? Well, but what… why… ? how… “

Yuna looked confused.

I wasn’t sure of my identity, nor did I really understand what was happening.

It was worth it.

Because I also couldn’t understand anything when I was betrayed by you ten years ago.

“Are you alive…? You might want to ask. that’s right. It was alive. I’ve been fooling you this whole time. “By playing someone else.”

“why… ? No, it’s really Ben… going to be? Then why… then… then… ”

told her But even so, she was still confused.

It would be difficult for her to understand everything from the moment I killed the knights around me.

I continued speaking as I sheathed the blood-soaked sword.

“But Ben…” That day, right in front of my eyes… ”

“He probably died right before your eyes. “The other boy that Gerg hugged tightly.”

“what… ?”

“We were able to survive thanks to Gerg’s sacrifice. “I put my clothes on the son of a rich hunter who was passing by, and then killed him as if he were me.”

Yuna couldn’t speak with her mouth open.

It seemed like he didn’t even know what was happening to his body right now.

“The day we first met, you cried. Because of the fact that you’re getting engaged to someone like me. And in the end, you didn’t give me your heart.”

The day we first met.

We were really young and stupid. No, was it just me who felt stupid?

“I tried to win your heart. Because at that time, Regius was in a situation where Helia’s help was needed, and I also liked you. “Because you were cute and I thought you would be happy if you got married.”

The memories I made when I was young to win your heart.

They said that when it passes, it becomes a memory. The memories of that time are still colored with beautiful colors.

“You told me about the habitat of moon squirrels and the rock lake in the forest behind the castle. On that dark night when the moon didn’t rise. After that, you visited there every month. “Every night when the moon doesn’t rise.”

If I didn’t know that place, you wouldn’t have opened your heart to me.

No, even that must have been all an act. Even that dark night probably had no emotion for you.

“Bennie is still growing up cutely. I see you sometimes when I go to your room, but you don’t recognize me. Well, the moon squirrels liked you, but I didn’t particularly like them.”

When I met Benny again, it was a bit difficult because the memories of that day came flooding back.

Because those were the only beautiful memories I had with you.

“You said you were going to marry a warrior, so I trained like crazy from then on. Build a body and swing a sword. To become a strong and wonderful man that you like. how is it? “I think I’m a little stronger now because I worked so hard.”

I wanted to become someone like the warrior. Because you said you like that kind of person.

I became stronger. I really, really got stronger. Much more than you think.

But I couldn’t become the warrior you wanted.

Now I’m more suited to being a villain.

“Be, ben… really… It was Ben… ?”

“I tried so hard for so many years. It really lasts for years. “I train my body to look good to you, study to become a husband worthy of you, wear a mask as a crown prince, and smile in front of you no matter how difficult it is.”

“Be, ben… ”

“But what did you think when you looked at me like that? “You wouldn’t have thought of marrying me anyway.”

“Oh, no! Ben… I am… !”

“I wanted to keep asking. As Beryl, by your side as your bodyguard. But, you don’t need to hear it. “It would be an obvious answer.”

I can hear nearby squads coming up the ridge.

Because Yuna’s magic had been paused for a while, the enemy’s attack began in earnest, and I must have noticed that the heads of the knights I had cut off had rolled down.

It meant there was no time anymore.

I thought that if I revealed my identity to her, I would be able to treat her without any problems, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

Those times still remained a time that I desperately missed, and I guess I couldn’t escape from them.

Although I now clearly hate you, I am ready to destroy Helya once and for all.

Nevertheless, memories were something that could not help but be so beautiful.

Because the memories of that day were really, really beautiful.

“… I’ll give it back now. “The pain I have experienced over the years.”

Put on a helmet and get on a horse.

I could hear her shouting something, but it was muffled by the helmet.

In the first place, I didn’t even want to hear any more. Because I wanted to get rid of this feeling.

Because I didn’t want to recall memories of the past anymore.

-Well, Your Highness! What happened… !

The troops who hurriedly came up from below the ridge were frightened when they saw the situation.

“… Hey!”

This time, I sprinted up the steep ridge, cutting off the heads of my colleagues without hesitation.

The horse ran well without falling. Thanks to you, I was able to not look back.

Sigh-

He races east, cutting off the heads of the knights who stand in his way.

Now it was time to leave this disgusting, enemy country.
