After listening to the soldier's explanation, I denied reality at first.
Using monsters in war, I didn't think that was possible.
However, the sound I heard outside was definitely the sound of a monster.
And the desperate screams mixed in it...
"No, no..."
I stumbled, and the soldier hurriedly sat me down on the bed.
Can Kishian defeat twenty monsters?
How many of his soldiers are familiar with defeating monsters?
When I thought that maybe he was going to die, I couldn't think of anything because of my nervousness.
'Thought... I have to think about it.'
I sat on the bed, clutching my head, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
As long as I could get out of here, the monsters wouldn't be a problem.
They could not harm the Savior, and they had a habit of trying to stay away from me.
The problem was that I couldn't move here.
'Its power... If only I could use that power...'
If I can light that black flame that I don't know what kind of situation it will work in, I will be able to defeat those who are watching me and go outside.
I tried to increase my strength.
The flames, too small to be used as weapons, appeared and disappeared for a moment.
At that moment, soldiers came from nowhere.
"Your Highness, the Princess, please heal the polluter."
"..."
It was probably that some of them were contaminated in the process of releasing the monsters.
If I healed them, they would go out again and swing their blades at the Kishian. I had no choice but to treat the polluters they had brought with them one by one.
That's how I treated about three people.
"...?"
I felt like something was filling me up.
It's so small that I wouldn't normally feel it, but I definitely feel something filling my body.
I tried to raise the strength in my mind, just in case.
Boom.
It was still small, but the flame was brighter than before.
The moment I saw it, I completely understood.
Why couldn't I use this power normally, and why was it now unleashed casually?
I thought it was simply because I lacked eagerness, but it wasn't.
I quickly cured the contamination of the soldiers to confirm the hypothesis.
Afterwards, I hurriedly said to the soldier who was nearby.
"My Father, go and tell the Emperor. I am ready to do what he has commanded."
"Are you talking about it now? But His Majesty is now..."
"Go and let him know. No matter how busy he is, he'll be happy to hear it."
Breaking the imperial curse was his long-cherished desire.
Even if the Kishian was just around the corner, he would be happy.
He didn't know when I would change my mind, so he would ask for the purification even more urgently than he did...
The soldier hurried to deliver my message.
***
"Did the Princess say that? Will she do what I have commanded?"
The Emperor, who was watching the war with his arms unaware, looked surprised.
The soldier who relayed Elona's words replied with a hint of fear.
"Yes, it is. I was going to tell her to wait because it was an urgent situation, but she was so stubborn in her order."
"Finally!!"
The Emperor rejoiced without even listening to the soldier's words.
She stubbornly insisted that if he didn't let her go, she wouldn't lift the curse, and finally decided to obey her father.
She was a little reluctant to wait until this time without complying, but it didn't matter.
Now that she's come to her senses.
Elona wouldn't be foolish enough to give her heart to a monster who started a war to drag her away and soak the ground with blood.
He called out to his vassal, who was beside him, with a surge of joy.
"Siegmar. Take Elona to the place where the flower is, and purify it."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty won't go with us?"
"I have something else to do."
"I see. I will take Her Highness there."
As soon as Siegmar and the soldier bowed their heads and retreated, the Emperor lifted up the magic tool.
It was the item that Kishian handed over for the final negotiations.
He thought it might not be possible, but it seemed that he had decided to listen to the Emperor even though he was busy.
Soon, a harsher voice came from the device.
"Will you surrender?'
He asked him as if he thought he had contacted him to surrender.
The Emperor opened his mouth, looking forward to the miserable despair of the arrogant one.
"It looks like Elona has decided to abandon you."
"What... say?"
"She promised me to cooperate. She's curing pollution for me and my soldiers. The curse that has bound me will soon be done by her hand."
"..."
"What did you expect? Did you think that a monster that had been killing monsters, killing people, and killing things all his life, would she really love him?"
"..."
"Look at yourself now. How ugly it is, covered in blood."
Kishian unilaterally terminated the connection without responding.
He seemed to ignore it, but the Emperor could see clearly through the window.
Even against a large number of monsters, his movements were noticeably sluggish, as he wielded his sword without any signs of struggling.
He pretended not to do so, but he was psychologically damaged.
The Emperor gladly waited for the end of the monster.
***
It was as expected.
Soon after, a vassal of the imperial family and ordinary soldiers came to visit me.
"His Majesty was very pleased. I'll take you to where it is right now."
I nodded, pretending to obey them.
He acted as if he would never let me out of the shelter, and as soon as I said I would lift the curse, he took me out of there.
After that, they went to the main palace and took me to the warehouse in the basement.
The flowers were waiting for me in the same way they had been before.
As I approached the glass box where the flowers were kept, I felt an eerie magi stinging my skin.
It's just like I've seen it before. It contains a much more powerful magi than the tainters or the seeds.
I felt a dangerous force that I had never encountered in my life.
It will probably take more effort than purifying the seeds.
But it was something that had to be done.
"Let's get started."
After saying that, I opened the glass box and picked up the flowers.
Afterwards, I wrapped my hands around it and held it in my chest.
Unlike when I purified the tainters, I felt the ferocious magi clearly in my palms.
I instinctively resisted, but I held on to it.
'Magi disappears...'
The magi in the flower was slowly fading.
The sturdy power that had stained the royal family with madness for so many years was finally...
"Your Highness, the Princess?"
I was exhausted and took a deep breath, and the vassal showed his concern.
I shook my head at him and continued to collect the magi.
After holding on like that.
"Hah, ha... The curse is broken."
I put the flower down with a gasp.
The flowers, which had existed fresh for a long time, immediately crumbled like dust as soon as they fell out of my hands.
The power that held the flowers together was completely gone.
"Thank you, Your Highness! His Majesty would be very proud. Then I will take you back to the evacuation center."
The vassal said that and tried to approach me.
I shook my head.
"Nope. I won't go back there."
"Yes?"
"I'm going to see the Kishian."
They didn't understand what I meant, so I reached out to him and the soldiers who were standing there in a daze. Then.
"Fire, fire!!"
They were surrounded by flames that were unmatched and hot.
The power was unleashed as I expected.
When I first healed the tainer, I thought I had purified the magi from his body.
I could feel the power in his body disappear.
I thought that the Magi had been purified by pure energy and had disappeared.
But it wasn't.
"Magi didn't disappear. It had been absorbed into my body."
The black flame that jumped out in a dangerous situation was the power that nourished the Magi that resided in me.
Therefore, once it was used, it could not be used again, and it was only after the contaminator was cured and filled with magi that it was used again.
I almost passed by without knowing it, but I was convinced of it the moment I treated the polluters earlier.
I turned to the vassals and soldiers and warned them.
"The flame will soon be extinguished. But you'd better not follow me. At that time, I had no choice but to take your life."
After warning those who were floundering in the flames, I left the warehouse.
