Before seeing Laurel-chan, he was always indifferent, wasn"t concerned about his life or death.
His rare brain, foresees ahead of anyone.
His wisdom was not impressed by the world.
In that world a girl as if one string of light appeared.
Muriel-sama, who was annoyed of both life and death, fallen for vitality of Laurel-chan he met, attracted to it, feeling various kind of emotions, soon he could start to laugh.
Finding someone he loves and adores, he found a meaning to live protecting her by his side.
But before he met Laurel-chan, he was always in complete darkness.
Even when I told him that this place will be blown up by down, Muriel-sama didn"t show any signs of impatience, [is that so], he returned with uninterested tone.
I reflexively lost my words, because I misunderstood his inhuman tone.
Muriel-sama said he is delighted that his death is approaching.
When I couldn"t keep up with him, Muriel-sama muttered in a small voice.
“Dawn, I see,"
Muriel-sama who can"t be controlled by anyone, instead of struggling against the King remained indifferent, but it seems his physiological discomfort is boiling up in the thought of being raped by that old man.
While muttering, I changed the meaning of running away hurriedly.
The pain in my chest got stronger but I pretend not to notice it, and put my emphasis on persuasion as much as I could.
Let’s get out of here before King Rugnand returns.
Muriel-sama, who was idly watching the window for a while, eventually lifted a heavy waist with a small sigh.
It seems that he chose the bother of accompanying me, rather than letting that old man feed him aphrodisiac and make him into a night partner.
While hurrying Muriel-sama, who lazy moved his legs with a little motivation, I search for hidden pa.s.sages.
The memory is faint, but I was able to find it safely, without running into King Rugnand.
While watching out for people, I removed the picture frame with the rose painting.
When I struck a wall with usual appearance, there was a sound as if something moved from a certain place, and an entrance to the hidden pa.s.sage appeared.
He didn"t seem to be interested in how to escape, and followed me without asking any questions, with /Jajang/ sound entrance appeared, but Muriel-sama had a slight reaction.
“hm… It is ….”
Muriel, before meeting Laurel-chan had no emotions.
The only emotion was the pleasure of approaching death, my mind became dark with that fact.
Even though I understood that there was no Muriel-sama I knew, I felt my heart’s cavity becoming deeper as I watched him.
Pa.s.sing through the narrow entrance in the hidden pa.s.sage, returning the wall to its original position and sound as if something returned to its place was heard.
I don"t know what it was, but if one closes it, it will never open again.
If King noticed that Muriel-sama has disappeared he will try to use this pa.s.sage to escape, but it is closed now.
Surely he would be frightened and looking pitiful, imagining him like that I felt my mood rise a little.
Going further, depending only on the light of the torch in the weird hidden pa.s.sage.
Because it was a single road, I didn"t get lost, but some traps weren’t described in the manga.
[Hmm?] When I thought that the wall was dented somewhat, from its side several knives strike out.
Oh! I tried to avoid it reflexively, but wasn"t quick and agile enough, so my arm was penetrated by the sharp edges.
“…… __ !!”
I tried to cast a healing spell at once but this place is a magical ineffective area.
I couldn"t cure the wounds on my arm.
Muriel-sama was uninjured.
He seemed to notice the unnatural state of the wall, so it was some kind of a trap.
With the pain reverberating in my head, if Muriel-sama noticed than he should have said something to me, but Muriel-sama only lightly tilted his head. And returned [Why?]
Muriel-sama who took a torch and walked ahead was expressionless and apathetic.
[Why should I do such a troublesome thing?] His thought were obvious.
Muriel is not interested in his own life and even more in the other’s.
Everything is annoying and troublesome.
Now it is Muriel-sama in the state before he encounters Laurel-chan, he will move forward without moving one eyebrow, even if I die.
The injuries on my penetrated by the knives arm are deep, blood overflows.
Muriel-sama urged me to move my eyes before taking a step.
While nodding hard, I endure pain that makes me want to cry.
Losing his memory, Muriel-sama returned to his original state.
He, who always saved me when I was in trouble, wiping away my tears when I cried, was not here anymore.
Muriel-sama, who stayed by my side, was irregularity.
Oh, really. We should have never met. Then I wouldn’t have to feel this pain.
While trying to preserve my consciousness from excessive blood-loss, I go through the hidden pa.s.sage.
I don"t know how long it took, but I could see the light in the distance, and when I aimed there, we came from the corner of the mountain, which was outside of the castle grounds.
Muriel-sama being outside of the castle grounds didn"t show any impressions.
Although he has looked around at once, with no feelings met my eyes, with no emotions going away somewhere.
Robe was flattered by the night breeze.
Embracing it tightly, as if power has left me, I sat down.
“It hurts …”
My arm and my chest. Even though I knew.
It was a happy fortune to return Muriel-sama without causing mental and brain abnormalities.
But, perhaps I was expecting something.
That Muriel-sama will be like Melba who was always with me.
The throb I was killing all the way slips from my mouth.
I realized that now, there is Muriel-sama that would care if I die, and Melba is nowhere to be found.
Because I was continuously moving, blood still overflowed from the wounds.
The magical non-interference area was behind, and healing magic can be applied, but I had no energy left.
I felt that I was satisfied just by being alive, but the pain in my nose and slowly flowing out tears couldn"t stop.
The vaguely distorted vision gets brighter, I can see the dawn is close.
The sun rises and the flowers start to fill everything with color.
It seems that I was sitting in a place where wildflowers of the mountains bloomed.
While I was out of it, watching the beautiful sunrise, I heard an explosion /Zodong/ that broke the eardrums.
Looking back, the main tower, which can be seen from a distance, fell down and rattle wrapped in smoke.
It was the last moment as the country collapsed.
A beautiful morning sun and a flower garden spreading in my eyes felt somehow unreal.
I seemed to have lost consciousness in the flower garden, Forte and Levin had protected Jungun.
And a few days later, I was informed of the King Rugnand death, that was the end of the war.
King Rugnand, who realized that Muriel-sama was missing, seemed to have escaped from the main tower alone, using a different escape route, but he was murdered by the people of his own country.
When Ricardo-sama rushed there seemed to be only a chunk of the King left, but in that blood pool a ring which is the testimony of King Rugnand proved it to be the King. It was a good end for the King who laid the evil and oppressed the people.
Jungun won over Rugnand country and regained its peace.
Luxen academy cla.s.ses also begin, and the original daily life was returning.
Ricardo-sama has raised his name as a crown prince, and gathering the popularity of people.
Laurel-chan who stood by his side also grows more popular, steadily walking the way of the princess.
Muriel-sama, who just couldn"t feel like it, met Laurel-chan, saw her brilliant strength and seemed to be attracted little by little.
That method of artificially creating magical power did not seem to remain in Muriel-sama’s memory, but since Estna had his finished tool, he succeeded recreating it anew on it"s basis.
The story of 【flower blooming in the snow】 is returning to its original form.
Once, I had crossed with Muriel-sama in Luxen academy, but he pa.s.sed by me without showing any reaction.
Only looking at Laurel-chan who was there, softly loosening his mouth.
There is no point of contact with the support role Tiarella Norfolk and Muriel-sama.
Even if I pa.s.s by edge of his sight, he will not notice my figure.
I came back to the position of a minor supporting character.
Jungun is peaceful, the future King and Queen are great, there are people who support them.
The fairy tale was wonderful, happy-happy, and curtain of happiness began to close.
I can"t say it was happy end for me as a supporting role, but this is truly righteous end of the tale.
