Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 21: The Hunt of the Year Yesterday (End)

“Diancam said you?” lirih Baginda with a sharp sounding tone.

Silent..

For a moment silence came over them, but Sheyra deftly explained the situation with a guilty look.

“True Your Majesty, if I do not obey him then at that time I will be finished off with the sword he carries. Either a blessing or luck, I did not even expect.. Miss Lucy even tried to heal me.” she said as she closed her mouth, acting as if the girl was truly sorry for her actions.

“Why don't you ask for help, Sheyra.” whispered Reygan who looks worried.

“Will anyone hear my words? I'm just a Princess Baron.” suddenly.

‘Ha.. she is good at words.’ Inner Emillo is upset.

“This is a serious matter Miss, you must account for all your words in front of His Majesty.” Read Emillo clearly.

“What if I say it, will the royal family be willing to guarantee my safety until the culprit is caught?” she asked as if she was negotiating.

The current situation was quite difficult to understand, but soon His Majesty took action.

“However, your actions cannot be justified, how dare you pour poison on the cup that my son-in-law drank, this is an assassination attempt on the royal family. Unfortunately a talented woman like her can neutralize the poison to break your plan. It is also unexpected that he tried to save you. I appreciate your honesty, so I will still punish you with a commensurate punishment.” said His Majesty with a unanimous decision.

“Ya Your Majesty?!”

It is true that at the time of the hunting event, Sheyra and Lucy were sitting together at a table provided, of course, they also drank tea from the same teapot source. It's just that we all really don't think that it's the woman who poured her own poison into the tea.

“I was forced to do it Bagin—” protest which is now cut off by the speech of His Majesty. It was appropriate that the woman could not refuse or evade, because all the words that came out in the King's mouth were absolute, indisputable.

“First whip sentence a hundred times, secondly, detention sentence for three months, I think this is quite beneficial for you who want to avoid the criminal.” Clearly it's firm. The woman was now just trembling in an overwhelming panic. Sir Emillo was just guessing, ‘It seems like this situation is not in your plans, Miss.’ obviously accompanied by a cynical laugh.

“Thank God Miss, that the punishment He gave was not to remove your Father's title.” Riana quipped. Behind the fan he held onto that covered his face, it seemed that this woman was laughing with satisfaction while looking at him contemptuously.

Sheyra who realized her guts just fell silent while bowing her head.

Such was the sentence for the Baron Princess set, at first glance being held for 3 months sounded terrible enough for the noble Lady, but the detention for a noble was very different. They will still be served, given proper food, even given a comfortable bed, what an irony is not it?

It has been a month since the incident. The perpetrator was finally caught, rather he gave himself up. He is Viscount Rajeev, Count Barayev's rival from the next diamond mine who was almost exposed to the scandal of Lucy's murder when he was 10 years old.

Already tortured and interrogated many times to ask on what basis the man did it, he did not give any answer. The man just looks like a living doll, his eyes blank, and just lets out a similar sentence over and over again, “I do.”

‘Think like anything, this is strange.’ thought Sir Emillo who always observes the situation.

Sheyra's assumption, Viscount Rajeev did this because he wanted to destroy the Barayevs. The reason he is still vengeful about mining first. But if the reason is so, it seems that Sir Emillo could not accept the statement, because the Viscount mining had grown rapidly when the mining owned by Count Barayev began to go bankrupt.

“You know what's more interesting?” ask the Crown Prince while he is grinning. They are currently in Reygan's office.

“After going crazy for a few days, he said the reason the woman could not testify was because she was asleep for 5 days. Then what did he say when he first woke up from his sleep?” continued the man with a serious look.

‘Your Highness.your speech seems to hate Lady Barayev.’.

“He said, ‘You who’ to his servant (Flona) who has served him many years.” Next was a small twitch.

“Do you believe it? He acted as if he had forgotten a memory, but the servants of the Count's residence said the young lady's behavior felt different, and said after fainting for 5 days, he said, he woke up and acted as if he forgot all the events that happened in the hunt yesterday.” he continued with an enthusiastic face.

“Surely because of her magic power drained out. But Dad said, it was the trigger, as if something was deliberately absorbing its power to kill the woman.” he said who somehow looks sad face now.

“Please forgive me if it is presumptuous, but I am curious about one thing, why Your Majesty behaves as if hating your own fiance.” he asked after a long time preparing his courage.

Lucy has been adopted as the Crown Prince's fiancee, only their engagement has not been officially done, but is not the relationship established since childhood will produce better chemistry? So what is going on between them?

Degs..

Suddenly The man was pecking, “Entah. I don't know, I just felt hate when I saw him, but I never hated the touch of his hand.” he said while looking at his palms.

‘Hah?’ Sir Emillo can't speak anymore. He is now just pensive while swallowing another question.

‘Actually why are you suddenly attracted to the Lady of the Baron family?’

...***...

That is what if the tragedy that occurred in the hunt last year. Lucy only gaped in disbelief when she heard all the stories Sir Emillo described enthusiastically.

‘Truly a terrible incident.. Lucy was almost dead.’ she said unexpectedly.

“So there was such an incident yes..”

‘More.. Lucy almost died because she lost a lot of her magic power.A witch without magic power will not survive.’.

The woman was silent for a moment while thinking about some things. ‘Actually..why did you get hysterical like that? What the hell's going on? What you see.. Lucy?’ ask him a few questions that revolve around his head.

Every magician basically has some element that he can master, but no magic can absorb or even rob other witches of their magic power. But if it happens, doesn't..

“Wait Sir, was that right, earlier I was hysterical crazy by saying darkness?” suddenly the girl asked, this time Lucy was really serious with the look in her eyes that radiated to find the truth about all these problems.

“Yes, Count Barayev said this so that you could not bear witness to His Majesty.” he replied with a frowning face.

The girl bit her nails with a trembling body, ‘What could Lucy have previously met the dark wizard? But who? Where's she? Wh why? All that can kill a witch in such a way is.’.

“The dark wizard.” his murmur arrived.

“Hng?” The man looked puzzled by Lucy's sudden change.

‘But who? There was no one else around. According to the testimony of other nobles as well, the only ones who entered the forest were the two of them. Then.’

Degs..

Degs..

“Sheyra?”
