(EP-72.1) Aftermath #1

072 Clean Up and Aftermath #1

A few dozen minutes after we dealt with Gamigin and his minions.

A large number of torch-wielding people from Ark arrived at the old castle ruins, perhaps to rescue us.

They were equipped with different types of weapons such as swords, shields, pitchforks and spears. They looked like witch hunters out for a hunt.

Over here! Here!

I briefed them on the situation like how Professor Balan used her students like living zombies.

That we managed to defeat Professor Balan.

And that there were survivors scattered around the area.

There are more survivors here! Move quickly!

The fortress collapsed, didnt it? It would take more than half a day to get rid of this!

Gorgor, work hard. Patient. Move human. Small. Little Life.

Oh, thats great! The rubble is being lifted!

Thanks to these people, the incident that had taken place in the old castle was somehow being sorted out.

However, me, Elga, and Mirna, who survived the chaos, had an uncomfortable atmosphere looming above our heads.

Lets go back for now. I want to wash up.

I took the lead of Mirna, who had a somewhat detached look on her face, back to the dorms. Meanwhile, Elga was glaring at her.

My body was full of mucus and I was filled with a foul smell. I really wanted to wash and change into new clothes as soon as possible.

Elga-nim, dont you want to wash up too? You have a lot of dirt on you.

.

Being the one who has been fighting the monster for the longest time, Elga was also covered in dried slime and looked unsightly.

Elga looked down at her body and sighed helplessly.

Alright, lets wash up first. Theo, keep an eye on that Draco so she doesnt run away, got it?

Okay.

I wont run away.

That brought it to an end, somehow.

After finishing all maintenance, including shower, we all went into Mirna Dracos single room.

Although it was called a single person room, it was as spacious as the three-people rooms where me and my roommates were staying. Thus, there was no inconvenience.

Why is the room so empty?

While walking around, Elga saw that there were few things that could be called furniture in such a large space.

Because Mirna Dracos private room only had a bed, a sofa, a bookshelf and a closet.

But wasnt that enough?

Isnt there like a beer dispenser here?

Theres none.

This room is boring~.

Was there a beer dispenser in Elgas room?

It seemed that the benefits of a single room were quite good.

Seureuk.

Aira sat down on where it looked the fluffiest. She was also naturally positioned in the middle.

Because she was, well, a Queen.

Queen Aira then said.

Something like a beer would be nice. Now, Mirna Draco, tell me what you know about Angmar.

Elga then followed up with a threat as she sat on the sofa, Yeah, you better not think about lying. At this time, Mirna had also sat down in front of the two.

They were of equal distance from each other, thus forming a perfect equilateral triangle.

I couldnt bu in such a confrontation, and simply decided to just stand by the sofa and listen. However, I couldnt hold my position for long.

Theo, Im tired after working all day, massage my shoulders.

Aira had ordered me to give her a shoulder massage, so I had to stand behind her and comply.

Seeing this, Elgas eyebrows wrinkled at Aira.

Working all day? You didnt do anything. In fact, I did all the hard work. Say, what did you do?

At Elgas questioning, Aira clicked her tongue.

I studied the shape of the clouds outside today. I was able to realize that Gracias clouds were not much different from Angmar.

She was looking at the sky in boredom, while we had to struggle for our lives?

However, only a third-rate character would correct that.

Since I was a first-class actor, I spoke skillfully to Aira instead.

As expected of the Queen. Possessing the utmost willingness to continue learning, despite already having perfect wisdom. Its something everyone should aspire for.

Of course, he who stands above can learn from anything. Only when you find something to learn from ants crawling on the ground can you call yourself a ruler.

Airas eyes then turned to Mirna, who was quietly drinking tea alone.

Thats the way it is. Now, Mirna Draco, tell your Queen what you know.

Aira was very confident.

Did you not recognize the authority of the Tarantera Family before, because a descendant of the Angmar Family survived somewhere?

.

Mirna was silent for a moment, and did not answer Airas sharp question immediately.

Aira was usually unpredictable when it came to what she was thinking, but there were times when she could simply be as venomous as a spiders fangs.

Clink.

Mirna Draco put down her teacup.

It is. Angmars blood still flows somewhere in this world.

Hearing so, Elga banged on the table.

So, why were you hiding it? By concealing it, doesnt that mean youre betraying us? What were you doing behind our backs?

What would I be planning? And betrayal? In the first place, the Draco Family did not join hands with you. We simply held hands with another Angmar.

That doesnt make any sense-.

Elga.

Having noticed that Elgas heat was quickly boiling, Aira raised her hand and cut the tempo of the story for a moment.

My cousin, dont use words that are too strong. It will make you look weak instead.

Ha.

Soon, Elga clicked her tongue as if she didnt like any of this. She then turned her head sideways with her arms crossed.

Hearing this must be really frustrating for Elga.

I knew very well that just not slapping Mirna in the face right now was already pretty patient for her.

Though, the one in question, Mirna, was calmly sipping her tea.

The Draco Family indeed helped in defeating Demon King Solomon. But thats because we wanted to put another Angmar in his place. Its the only reason why we temporarily joined hands with you.

Aha, that was right!

Mirnas explanation gave me an epiphany and, suddenly, the pieces in my head began to fit into each other.

This was the reason for the sophistry that although the Draco Family helped subdue the Demon King, it couldnt be seen as them betraying the Angmar Family.

They rebelled against Demon King Solomon, but had planned to have another Angmar take his place, which was not betraying the Angmar Family.

Seureuk.

Just then, Aira crossed her legs and said.
