CHAPTER 104
At the moment Roselina defeated and tamed the demons
The High Priest was trapped in the prophecy he saw.
Boom!
Even within the prophecy, the floor of the Grand Hall collapsed and a demon appeared.
“Roselina!”
“Sister!”
The Duke of Brighton and the Little Duke of Brighton were killed as they rushed toward Roselina.
“Father! Brother!”
The High Priest watched as Roselina burst into tears.
“After I finally have a family of my own……. I won’t let you go.”
At that moment, something appeared in Roselina’s hand.
‘A slingshot?’
The High Priest gasped.
‘How could she possibly use a slingshot like that against demons the size of a house?’
‘I’m sorry to hear about Miss Roselina’s situation, but the Master of the Magic Tower and the Duke of Palesdon are here. Therefore, it’s best to leave this in their care and evacuate to safety…….’
Immediately, however, the High Priest’s jaw dropped.
Unlike Master of the Magic Tower and Argention’s attacks, Roselina’s attack worked.
Crrrr-!
The demons that were hit by the slingshot fell to the ground and groaned.
Soon, they stopped breathing, and the people in the grand hall were stunned.
“A man came out of the dead demon!”
“It’s Count Molzigat. I thought he disappeared not too long ago. Why did he end up here?”
“A man turned into a demon? I’ve heard Count Molzigat talking about strange things lately, and he’s been asking me to join him in his quest for eternal life.”
Count Molzigat was not alone.
As one dead demon after another turned into dead people, uncontrollable chaos began.
“Why on earth did this happen?”
“The culprit is the Duchess of Palesdon! She must be behind all of this!”
“That can’t be true! The Duchess of Palesdon is the one who defeated the demons, and if it weren’t for her, we would all be in great danger!”
“That’s why it’s so strange. If the Duke of Palesdon, who is a Demon Slayer, couldn’t defeat the demons, why can the Duchess of Palesdon!”
Those who could not overcome their fear began to blame Roselina.
“I know you’re confused, but that’s not something you should say to me, who just lost my father and brother.”
“Since when does the Duchess of Palesdon care about her family!”
“Exactly, hasn’t she always exploited her family for her own gain?”
Roselina responded calmly, but the others continued to shout as if they had descended into collective madness.
“Rose didn’t do this, everyone calm down!”
“Why is the crown prince taking the side of the Duchess of Palesdon?”
“The Duchess of Palesdon once saved the Crown Prince’s life. Isn’t that why he was brainwashed by the wicked woman?”
“If not, then can we assume that what happened today was a collaboration between the imperial family and the Duchess of Palesdon, and that the imperial family staged something like this to keep the nobles down!”
Crown Prince Calix stepped forward, but public opinion only worsened.
“It’s not like that……!”
“Calix. You shall remain silent.”
“But Mother, Rose is being framed.”
“His Majesty the Emperor will see to that.”
The Empress soothed the Crown Prince and stepped back, and the Emperor stepped forward.
“I must ask you first. Is it really necessary to consolidate the imperial power by destroying the imperial palace?”
The Emperor looked around the crowd and pleaded.
It would cost a fortune to rebuild the shattered Grand Hall, but that wasn’t what he was talking about.
The palace had been breached.
The Sylvester Empire’s reputation for having the best security on the continent had been tarnished.
The palace could be rebuilt, but salvaging a shattered reputation was not easy.
The nobility, well aware of this, soon fell silent.
“I, the Emperor, am deeply outraged by this incident, and the culprits will be found and punished, no exceptions.”
“Does this mean that the Duchess of Palesdon is on the list of suspects?”
“Yes! The Duchess of Palesdon’s behavior has been suspicious; hasn’t she been the only one to attack?”
The emperor was silent.
The High Priest, who had watched him for so long, could tell what the Emperor was thinking.
The Emperor did not believe Roselina was the culprit.
But for now, a sacrifice was needed to quell the rising tide of public opinion.
“I told you there were no …… exceptions. The Duchess of Palesdon will be the first to be investigated. Knights, surround the Duchess of Palesdon immediately!”
After a moment of silence, the Emperor finally spoke up.
To the Emperor, Roselina was the benefactor who had found his son, but not for his people, who had just lost their parents and siblings.
But the Emperor thought his power was more important than hers.
The Grand Hall fell silent.
Even Roselina stood tall, making no protests.
The hesitant knights were about to surround her.
“No matter what the Emperor says, you cannot treat Palesdon with impunity.”
Argention stepped in front of Roselina.
“If you want to take my daughter-in-law, you’ll have to take me first!”
The Godfather of Palesdon stood beside Roselina and glared at the knights.
“Are the imperials blind? Do they not even realize who saved them? I, too, will join the Duchess of Palesdon.”
“That’s right, you’re all being too critical on her, you’re all making a big deal out of her, but think about it, if it weren’t for her, we’d all be dead together right now!”
The Master of the Magic Tower and Countess Maria defend Roselina.
“There may be no power left in me, but…… I will join you.”
“Then imprison them all, and I will grant you your wish!”
The Emperor was furious, even with Felix.
“Then, as Your Majesty says, we will leave this situation.”
Just as they were about to protest, Roselina stepped forward.
Roselina said something to those who stepped up for her, and then walked out of the grand hall together.
“Wait, the entrance is blocked…….”
The panicked Emperor called out, but it was of no use.
With a flick of his sword, Argention sliced through the wall blocking the entrance.
The eyes of those who saw the group leaving the Grand Hall shook.
“Ugh!”
“W-what was that?”
An indescribable horror had occurred.
The dead had turned back into demons.
“Slay them!”
The knights ordered by the emperor rushed forward, but to no avail.
No matter how hard they tried, the demons came back to life.
It was an endless cycle.
They could not fight the endlessly resurrected demons forever.
One by one, the knights began to fall.
‘No!’
The stoic High Priest screamed.
“Help……!”
There were a number of people who barely made it with their lives, but the situation was far from over.
Following them out of the Grand Hall, the monsters began to spread across the Empire.
Everything was broken and smashed, and more people died than could be counted.
This is not all.
Those killed by monsters were turned into monsters.
Eventually, every living thing in existence began to turn into a demon.
Finally, the High Priest was the only thing left standing on the ruined ground.
‘Alas…….’
Darkness spread across the world.
The air was thick with it, and everything in sight was gray.
The High Priest kneeled against the gray sky.
‘I’d rather die, please save them even if it means killing me.’
He cried out in tears of blood.
He wanted to stop the tragedy unfolding before his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
“Please God. Please help me. Please save those poor lives……!’
The High Priest prayed more fervently than ever.
But he knew. Prophecy was always absolute.
Once a prophecy was out there, it was never changed.
It had never happened before, but it would happen again.
But then.
Beyond the colorlessness, he heard a familiar voice.
“This quest is way too hard. How am I supposed to do all this?”
She mumbled something he didn’t recognize.
Her pink hair rippled with each step she took.
It was Roselina.
“But if I could take it all back, I would.”
She’d survived the monsters’ attack.
“When I’m done with this, I’ll start a human rights organization for transmigrated people. Why am I still working when I already transmigrated?”
She seemed to be making up her mind, but the High Priest didn’t hear it.
Ssshhhh!
A demon jumped out of the sky above and attacked Roselina.
She had somehow managed to survive until now, but if she were to collide with that thing, she would surely die as well.
‘Miss Roselina!’
The High Priest shouted at the top of his lungs.
‘Miss Roselina, get out of the way, please, get out of the way!’
But this was a dream, a prophecy fulfilled.
No matter how many times the High Priest called Roselina, his voice would not reach her.
‘If you stay still, you will lose your life!’
Nevertheless, the High Priestess cried out.
He could no longer stand by and watch life slip away before his eyes.
Just because he couldn’t do anything didn’t mean he would stand still.
At that moment.
Puck!
“Miss Roselina!”
His shouts came at once.
The High Priest blinked, unable to comprehend the situation.
“Huh? There’s a human here?”
Roselina, the same Roselina who had defeated the monster flying at her, recognized the High Priest.
As if that weren’t enough, she started walking toward him.
This hadn’t happened in the first prophecy.
“How the hell did…….”
The High Priest was at a loss for words.
His voice was actually coming out.
“Old man, are you okay? This place is dangerous and you should get away from here.”
The High Priest looked at Roselina, who was near him, and felt an instinctive sense of urgency.
This unbelievable miracle was created by Roselina.
‘Miss Roselina can stop this tragedy.’
Finally realizing the breakthrough, the High Priest burst into hot tears.
The next moment, he opened his eyes.
