Happy Monday!
Heres the chapter, enjoy.
ED: Ignite
My family was once considered nobility several generations ago, but now in my fathers generation, we are just a slightly affluent family.
We began to shake a little bit as Yoru picked up speed while turning the curve on the path.
Ria, who seed like she was going to fall, panicked and tightly held onto Yoru.
I, I beca part of the royal family fifty years ago, and I have been living like that since then. However, one day, the village that my family lived in was attacked by a monster. Everyone, including my mother, father and all the villagers diedI thought that they had died.
Saying up to here, Ria bit down hard on her lips.
Seeing that the atmosphere around Ria had changed, I tilted my head in confusion.
What, what was the monster that attacked the village?
For so reason, I had a bad feeling.
There was hatred in those eyes of Rias.
It was a sli. Though If that were true, then all the villagers whod been swallowed up by a monster that couldve easily been rescued. Unfortunately, that was not a normal sli, but a black sli. Certainly, there are various types of slis, but I have never seen a black sli before until that day.
I let out a low gasp.
My premonition had co true.
Speaking of black slis, that was the sli that had captured Alia when I first t her.
I had thought that if that sli only captured elves, those who targeted elves for their beauty had sent the sli so that they could enslave the elves.
However, if they even went as far as to injure beastn, then thats a different story.
Then there was the encounter I had with the kidnapper from the elven territory. He was ard with a sword of Uruk and seed to be a knight as well, which bothered . Just what was going on with the beastn.
that sli is definitely sothing that was artificially created and dispatched by soone.
What did you an just now, when you said that you thought that they had died?
I asked Ria who had her head down and was muttering sothing.
The look on Rias face darkened even more.
I said it when I first t you, didnt I? I asked youdo you know, just how much was sacrificed to summon them.
oi, oi, you couldnt possibly be trying to say that the kidnapped beastn were sacrificed for the summoning, right.
I thought back to what Ria had said before we entered the dungeon.
However, I had already thrown those thoughts from that ti out of my head.
I didnt know that what the reason for going so far as to sacrifice people just to summon heroes was, and at that ti, I had thought there was a proper reason for summoning.
However, my hopes were overturned and Ria nodded.
That was exactly what happened. I knew that I was the Hand of Protection, so I had affixed a barrier on my family and the villagers just to be on the safe side. The barriers of the Hand of Protection were different from those of normal barrier masters. It wasnt just stationary objects, I could affix barriers on mobile objects as well.
I see, if thats the case, she could affix a barrier onto people themselves.
Her attack power was low, but in regards to her defense, it had a similar effect as the barriers.
Just as the na Hand of Protection suggests, if the target of the barrier died with the barrier intact, the barrier will naturally disappear, such as when they were poisoned while the barrier defended against physical attacks. And when that happens, I would be able to sense it. when they were being swallowed up by the sli, my barrier had yet to disappear completely. And yet, one day, all my barriers suddenly disappeared. At that ti, I had already been adopted into the royal family, so I made full use of my authority as a princess and inquired about what happened at that ti.
I looked down.
From this, even if I didnt hear the rest, I understood.
There was nothing within the beastn territory, but that had occured within the human territory. The accursed hero summoning. After ascertaining that the timing of my barriers disappearing had aligned with the ti when a vast amount of magic power had been poured into the magic circle used for the hero summoning, I headed towards the human territory to take a look at the heroes, even if it were just a glimpse of them.
There, she t .
I suddenly thought of it.
Did Ria not know that I had co to this world via the hero summoning.
When I first t Ria, I had called out to her, but I had left the ranks of the heroes.
And, even if she she investigated prior to eting Alia, she would only know about the nas One Accompanied by Monsters and the one that I had unwillingly accepted, Assassin of Darkness. There was a high possibility that she did not know about my summoning.
To begin with, the only one among the beastn who noticed that I had been one of the ones who were summoned as a hero was Linga.
Though I was an acquaintance of the elven king, it would be hard to imagine that Ria who had just beco part of the royal family and Linga who was a re guildmaster had so kind of connection.
Moreover, every ti soone said the word hero, Ria emitted a small amount of bloodlust.
However, it was not directed towards .
should I tell her?
Since we didnt know just how powerful the demon was, I had prepared for the worst and permitted Ria to accompany us, but truthfully, I planned on fighting the demon by myself.
Even if I told her now that I was one of the people who was summoned, it wouldnt be a big deal even if I left Ria behind now.
Ria was not in a position where she could travel together with .
However, lets tell her soon.
With my father being an accessory maker for the royal family, coupled with the fact that I had the Hand of Protection, I was adopted into the royal family.
Ria ended the conversation with that.
She looked at who was frowning with confusion and said this.
I had gotten excited as I was talking and everything was chronologically disordered, but the stories from my past arent very important, so it would be fine if you forgot about it.
It is important!, I endured and did my best to restrain myself from yelling that out loud, and I asked her about what had bothered the most.
I would tell her about coming here through the summoning after asking that.
Then, what is the thing that you have to tell Alia no matter what? Ive only heard about it a little, but you have not t Alia before.
The probability of Ria, who had no rights to the throne and was adopted, and Alia being acquaintances was an absolute zero.
Moreover, elves and beastn were on bad terms with each other.
That made it even more impossible.
Slightly hesitating, Ria started speaking.
