There will be no words to say.
You shouldn't have replied. If you have a conscience.
The fact that the Emperor hid himself in a safe place and pushed the Kishian out of the limbs, and that he treated me as a worthless daughter and left me behind, was all true.
If he had apologized, I would have listened a little, but he still called the Kishian a monster.
I was trying to slip away from the incident that had treated me badly.
Therefore, I couldn't recognize him as a family member either.
After a long silence, a quiet call was heard.
"Elona."
"..."
"I think I raised you too finely. I thought you were a wise child who understood your father's heart even if you didn't have to take a beating."
Bang!!
The door shook dangerously with an even louder sound than before.
'Are you trying to break down the door?'
There was no sign of me opening it, so it seemed as if he was going to break the door and come inside.
Boom again!! The door shook precariously.
It was only a matter of time before they caught me.
I had to run away.
I approached the window again, where I had withdrawn from fright.
Because of the high floor height, the ground was far away, even though it was only two floors.
But now was not the time to think about such things.
I grabbed the hem of my robe and jumped down the thick bushes.
"...!!"
Kung! There was some impact, but there was no break because the bushes acted as cushions.
Instead, my ankle hurt slightly.
At the same time, there was a commotion in the direction of the room where I was staying.
"I think she jumped out of the window!"
"Catch her right now!"
Without paying attention to the subtle pain in my ankle, I hurriedly walked out of the front door of the hotel.
Immediately, some soldiers followed.
"Help! Who, who...!"
I desperately squeezed out my strength and called for help, but there was no one around because of the monster that had appeared earlier.
I was out of breath.
Even though I was panting and running with all my might, I couldn't shake off the soldiers.
I was about to turn the corner in front of me and hide in an alleyway.
"Stop!"
A strong hand snatched me from the back of my head.
The nape of my neck was pulled back, and I couldn't breathe.
If you get caught like this, it's over. Feeling that crisis, I turned around and reached backwards.
And at that moment.
Boom!
A glimpse of black flames rose from my fingertips.
"...?"
The soldier flinched back.
I wanted to ask what I had done, but I didn't.
What did you mean by that?
Thanks to the strange phenomenon, I was able to shake off the soldier's hand, but my luck only went there.
The flames quickly died down, and I was quickly caught by the other soldiers who rushed after me.
"Let this go!!"
Even after I was captured, I resisted so fiercely that some soldiers clung to me and entangled my body so that I couldn't move.
When the three men came to arrest me, I couldn't resist anymore.
I was on my knees with my hands behind my back, and the Emperor slowly approached me.
He looked down at me with sad eyes, as if he hadn't seen the flame a moment ago.
"Have I ever stabbed you?"
"..."
"Yes, I was so busy taking care of Letie that I paid less attention to you. However, I don't think I could play the role of a father."
...The man who pushed me into my nemesis' bedroom because he didn't want to sacrifice Letie was saying.
You didn't play the role of a father, right?
No, you never considered me your daughter.
He just kept me as a consumable item to be sacrificed to protect Letie someday.
His smile faded a little, as if he had read the contempt in my gaze.
"Didn't I come to save you as a father? There is nothing to worry about. When you look up, it will be all over."
As he said that, he nodded to one of the soldiers.
The soldier pulled a handkerchief out of his arms and blocked my respiratory system.
The handkerchief was damp with a drug that was supposed to be a sleeping pill, and even though I held my breath to avoid smelling it, I felt drowsy.
'Never... I can't fall asleep.... I have to hold on until the Kishian comes.'
At the end of that thought, my consciousness went black.
***
After all, only one monster appeared.
Kishian was able to defeat it with ease.
Now that he had finished his work, he was going straight to Elona.
He was in a hurry because they had been interrupted while he was having a good time.
Still, he couldn't run right away because he suddenly noticed a strange mark on the monster's fin..
The monster had a strange shape that looked like a fish or a lizard, and had a small number engraved on its fin.
'Is this...?'
Seeing the fins clearly engraved with the number 5, he felt strange.
There was no way that such marks would have formed on the monster's body by itself.
It was carved by a person with a bull seal.
That means that.
'Did someone breed it?...monsters?'
He didn't think anyone would do such crazy things, but otherwise, there wouldn't be anything like this engraved on it.
It looked like someone was breeding several monsters and numbered them to distinguish them.
"..."
A monster that had been secretly bred suddenly appeared.
As if he were trying to lure Elona out when he was with her.
A foreboding came through his mind like a thunderbolt.
He let out a short curse and frantically ran toward the hotel.
The hotel was eerily quiet.
A deeper foreboding made him dizzy.
"Elona!!"
A sound that he didn't know if it was a scream or a shout burst out in his throat.
Kishian couldn't think of anything.
He just frantically ran towards the room where she was supposed to be.
But from the hallway, he had to face a horrible reality.
The door to the room where they stayed was broken.
Feeling his breath tighten, Kishian stepped into the room.
"..."
She couldn't see the person who was supposed to be there.
The other person who had been talking to each other just an hour ago.
"Oh..."
In the middle of the room, where the footprints of strangers were stamped messily, he collapsed.
He knelt down and fumbled to pick up her bathrobe, which had fallen to the ground.
As he frantically inhaled the lingering scent of Elona's body, he was able to think.
'Kidnapping.'
Elona was kidnapped.
The other person seemed to have prepared quite elaborately for this event.
Everything had been planned before they arrived at the hotel.
Seeing that the knights attached as escorts were nowhere to be seen, they must have done something about it.
After putting the knights away, they unleashed the monsters to draw the Kishian out, and it seemed that they had snuck in and taken Elona away.
Ugly and relentless kidnapping...
There was only one person who could do this.
"...the Emperor."
A voice full of murder came from his teeth.
There were bloodlines in his eyes.
The anger swirling inside him felt like his heart was going to explode.
Where did it go wrong?
Or was it all wrong from the beginning?
He should not have forgiven the Emperor in the first place.
On the day he picked up Elona at the imperial palace, he should have burned it down and beheaded the Emperor.
What would happen now...
“Ha, ha ha…."
A madness as terrible as the Emperor's madness consumed him.
In the middle of the empty room, where his loved one had disappeared, he was frantic until he could feel blood running out of his throat.
When the laughter ceased, what stood on his face was pure flesh, without any Impurity.
He didn't want to be hated by Elona, so he made a wrong choice once, but he couldn't do it again.
This was the time to behead the Emperor's long-time nemesis.
***
How long had I been asleep?
When I woke up as if it had been at least a day, and I didn't feel any strength in my body.
I forced my eyelids, which still felt heavy, to look around.
I could see the scenery of a spacious and luxurious room.
I knew where this room was.
It was the second most luxurious bedroom in the Imperial Palace.
'Letie's bedroom...I've finally come to the Imperial Palace."
I felt like the Emperor had dragged me to this place.
My body was dressed in a high-quality sleeping gown.
It seemed like a very sincere treat, but the shackles around my ankles reminded me of my situation.
I was kidnapped now.
It was also to my father, the Emperor.
