chapter 266
266 – Scene 266# Encounter
*
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
“I… “I just hate low-class things.”
Either way, I brushed my long hair.
“Meaning does not refer to your origin or lineage. If it is not noble and has no dignity, it is mean and vulgar.”
He spoke in a clear voice to Aaron, who seemed ready to burst into anger at any moment.
“And what you are about to do is a mean thing.”
“That’s-!”
“Close your mouth and open your ears. Because I’m not finished talking yet.”
“?!”
Aaron flinched at my faint ‘anger’-filled words.
The words of those blinded by hatred are destined only for destruction. Aaron’s hatred is a problem because it seeks to destroy not only himself but all humans.
“Whatever feelings you have toward humans are none of our business. “Do not extend revenge for your personal grudges and force it on other demons.”
I know why he hates humans so much and he wants to bring a never-ending winter to this world. He also knows well the purpose of elevating the ‘Snow Princess’ whom he serves as the Demon King. But…
It is a future that should never come and a future that will never come.
“If you speak in such a vulgar way in front of me again from this moment on…”
I warned Aaron quietly.
“Then you will truly realize how lowly you can be degraded.”
“…”
Aaron remained silent and our conversation ended like that. He stared at me blankly and then got up from his seat.
He did not indiscriminately spit out angry words or curses filled with hate.
“… It’s a shame.”
I just sighed.
As I watched Aaron’s back moving away, I was lost in thought for a moment.
There is no way he will step down like this.
Since cooperation with me has been canceled, there are not many options for him from now on.
And obviously, if it was Aaron from the original…
“Oh, how… The Count who speaks informally… “Isn’t it too s*xy?”
It was Helga who pulled me out of my thoughts. Ah, the first one is a metaphor. Helga, I don’t have the guts to do that.
“Please, just like you did to that man earlier, speak informally to me and step on me gently!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. And I never stepped on anyone.”
“Then the first step… ?!”
“… Are you listening to me?”
“There is nothing more enjoyable than the first time you dirty a sheet of pure white paper that no one has ever used. Hehe… Please think of me as your servant and step on me to your heart’s content!”
I’m afraid that Helga may gradually start to notice her strange hobby. Normally she would have lectured harshly, but she doesn’t seem to have time for that now.
“Stop playing around and get ready.”
“Ready?”
“I have to go to the castle right now.”
“Eh? “Now?”
“Isn’t it too early to go back?”
Helgana Blanche expressed her doubts at my sudden order.
“It’s not just going back.”
“Then… ?”
“If I am correct, Aaron is probably planning to attack the castle as soon as possible.”
“Huh?!”
Aaron will not attack us because he failed to apologize. From his perspective, we are potential allies anyway.
So no matter how much he thinks about it, the only option he has is to fight the imperial army with himself and the demons under him.
You could say it would be reckless to fight an army of 100,000 without our help.
However, he still has a ‘secret weapon’ that can be used to fight against an army of 100,000.
Moreover, I don’t know about Aaron, but most of the 100,000 imperial troops who were hastily conscripted were close to new recruits. Even if Aslan is there, there is no guarantee that he will be able to properly deal with a single demon.
So, it would be better to go as quickly as possible and tell them. There will be an attack from Aaron soon.
“Listen carefully.”
It’s truly a hassle, but…
It can’t be helped.
“From now on, you will have to play with me.”

“Is there anything wrong with the northern wall?”
“Yes, yes! “Nothing wrong today!”
A time when the sun is still high in the sky.
Bela Isaachel was patrolling the walls that were being repaired.
Originally, Tristan, the general commander, was supposed to do this, but he was often absent while observing the movements of monsters, so Bella, the commander of the headquarters unit, often stepped in instead.
What. In fact, it was much more effective for Bella to patrol than for Tristan to patrol.
The title of the duke’s daughter, the prestigious family of the Seven Stars, and the title of the best swordsman in the empire. And because of his attractive appearance with silver hair, all the soldiers blushed and did not know what to do.
“Don’t worry! Princess! No matter what happens, we will protect you, princess!”
“Oh my?”
“Trust us! Even if monsters come rushing in, I will never back down!”
Since she, whom everyone in her country admired, met each and every soldier like this, she couldn’t help but raise their morale.
“Hehe… It’s reassuring to hear you say that. However, the first thing you need to protect from monsters is your colleagues next to you. “The future and well-being of the empire are entirely in your hands.”
Bella smiled and said to her soldiers.
“And I will also fight to protect you.”
“Oh oh…Princess…”
Bella watched each and every one of them in deep emotion, stood on the northern wall, and looked at the forest in the distance.
Commonly known as the Forest of Demons.
It is the territory of demons and monsters, and a dangerous place that you should not tread carelessly.
“Count…” . “Has the commander-in-chief returned?”
“Oh, yes! Count Ruelberta returned a little while ago!”
“Is that so…”
He was so busy that it was hard to even see his face. She was so busy that every time Bella visited her, she was absent.
Oh, of course, I never went there because I wanted to see him. I just had some little things to report to him. Since he is the commander in chief, he has so much to report and do, so it is truly inevitable.
And yet, you don’t show your face even once, just because you’re working. At this point, you should question the overall commander’s qualifications.
“Joy. You could come see me in person sometimes… I’m really sad…”
“Yes? “What did you just say?”
“No. I just talked to myself. Hmm?”
At that time, a shadow fell over Bella’s head.
Her clouds covered the sun.
“The clouds are really big…”
“I guess so.”
Bella saw the dark shadows created by the clouds moving towards the castle. It was just a completely natural phenomenon, but somehow it felt like an ominous sign.
It was then.
“W-Who are you?! What about you!?”
Bella turned her head at the soldier’s shout.
“Well, what are you doing! Identify yourself!”
The soldiers are aiming their spears as long as they are standing on the watchtower… It was a strange woman.
‘Where on earth did you get up there?’
That question is just a moment away. The moment she saw her face, Bella couldn’t help but hold her breath.
She was wearing a black eye mask and armor, so it was impossible to see her body or the outline of her face her her, but no one could deny that she was beautiful.
Eerily thick black hair was blowing in the wind. It was a beauty that was hard to take your eyes off, as if you were looking into an abyss.
However, no one saw her blush. Because the atmosphere she gave off was so cold that it made her heart ache.
Wicked woman.
It was the first word that came to everyone’s mind right now.
“You are…” .”
The moment Bella was about to speak, the evil woman opened her mouth first.
“It’s boring. “I can’t believe you can come in so easily.”
“?!”
The soldiers who had been staring in fascination at those words finally came to their senses.
“Knock, don’t move!”
“It’s an intruder! Everyone draw your weapons!”
Maybe it was because she had Bella, whom she admired, in front of her. Immediately they began to surround and surround the mysterious evil woman.
“Get down from there!”
“Jjongal jjongal. It’s noisy…”
Although she was surrounded by soldiers on the precarious wall, she muttered as if she was annoyed rather than nervous.
That slyness irritated the nerves of the garrison commander who allowed the intruders in.
“What are you doing! “Bring that woman out at once!”
“Yes, yes!”
“If she resists, I’ll even stab her with her spear and drag her out!”
“For a moment!? That’s too much! First, capture them and interrogate them!”
“Catch that b*tch!”
“oooh!!”
Bella’s point was that she was meaningless, and the soldiers all rushed towards the woman.
At that moment, I could almost imagine the sight of several soldiers holding down that poor woman…
The garrison commander was astonished.
“What?!”
The soldiers who had rushed in at once fell like dolls whose strings had been cut. Rather than touching her her, her her body her, at most I could only step on her shadow her.
“Things that are mean…”
On the other hand, the black-haired villainess was very fine.
She was shaking the dust off her armor, looking down at the fallen soldiers with disgust, as if she had seen a bug.
Looking at her appearance, Bella was able to infer.
That woman… The enemy of our humans, the demons.
Bella drew her sword.
I didn’t know how he did it, but the opponent was strong enough to take down soldiers without even lifting a finger.
If you approach too hastily…
“Hey, this b*tch, how dare you kill my subordinates!!”
“Now, wait! “No!”
“Take it down!”
The enraged guard captain shot the arrow he was carrying. But the next moment, Bella couldn’t believe her eyes.
“?!”
The evil woman’s shadow floated around and she swallowed the flying arrow. Not only that, it stretched out like a liquid and even hit the garrison commander, who was frozen in a daze.
“What, what?!”
“Don’t kill me. Because it gets dirty.”
The garrison commander, who was sucked into the shadows, was soon spit out with a tattered appearance. In that brief moment, Bella saw her countless eyes fluttering in her shadow.
Regardless of her appearance, she was a creepy demon.
Bella couldn’t help but be more nervous than ever in the face of this type of being who easily played with humans.
“How…”
“No luck… After all, the first time I met you was you…”
“What?”
“No. “Nothing.”
The evil woman clicked her tongue and scratched her cheek sheepishly. Bella couldn’t understand her actions. No, she didn’t have the power to understand.
She just puts the questions that come to her mind her into her mouth her her her her.
“You are…” Who is it?”
“I am Trinity.”
The black-haired evil woman introduced herself to the silver-haired princess with a smile full of pride.
“This is the woman who will become the devil of this world.”
