AWWEWNR Chapter 20

Back home, Hanaella spent days thinking about Lloyd’s terms of cooperation. She wondered if Lloyd meant it when he stated the terms formally.

 

‘It’s a matter that will reach the ears of the Emperor, the Empress, and each of the nobles.’

It’s quite a departure from my original plan to keep it to myself, my father, the Thearine siblings, and the rest of the nobility as a rumor.

It was a far cry from setting herself up as a potential future Crown Princess. Hanaella wondered what the Crown Prince was thinking.

‘Does he think he could do me a favor and put Knight under his thumb like this…?’

Of course, if Knights were to be placed under the Crown Prince, there would be no obstacle to the current Prince becoming the Emperor.

After all, the Knights were the reason the Empress was able to raise her son, Lionel, to the position without a dissenting vote.

But my father made all decisions for the Empire, not the current royal family.

When it came to loyalty to the Empire, no one in the Empire was better than my father, and he would never go under the Crown Prince, who had yet to ascend to the Emperor’s throne.

That’s why he was so upset when I told him I loved the Crown Prince.

‘Besides, there are too many nobles who would rise against me if I became the Crown Princess, so it’s not really possible. The Crown Prince doesn’t know that, so what the hell was he thinking…?’

Hanaella shook her head with a long sigh, as the more she thought about it, the more complicated it became.

No matter what trials lay ahead, it was important to make sure the Thearine siblings could no longer take advantage of her.

Inwardly, Hanaella felt bad that she had touched such a huge mountain in the form of the Crown Prince in her quest to resolve the matter involving the Thearine siblings.

However, she stopped worrying about it as it was spilled water. Deciding to go with the flow, she immersed herself in learning dark magic.

Although she had no intention of bothering the Knights, she often visited the Knights’ barracks because she needed a target to cast the spells she had learned.

At first, the Knights were puzzled by her unexpected arrival, but as she showed up every day to cast her spells on her practice wooden dummies, they began to watch and applaud her skill.

Time passed and the day of the hunting festival arrived.

Thanks to Gemma and Belle, who had kept Hanaella on her toes since the morning, she was able to attend the hunt looking more graceful and beautiful than usual.

Despite the fact that the occasion required her to wear an active dress that was not fancy.

With her long hair neatly rolled up, she looked sophisticated yet lighthearted. It made her young face look even more youthful, but the demure, elegant dress kept her from feeling like a child.

On the other hand, Rosaryn played up her features boldly.

Her dress, which stripped away the glamour and instead exposed her shoulders, waist, and hips, made her look seductive rather than vulnerable, and her red hair and ruby-red eyes made her look even sexier.

No wonder, Hanaella and Rosaryn were inundated with offers of partnership.

However, Rosaryn rejected the offers of many lords, and offered herself to Duke Edward Ethan Delioffe. Edward nodded, his expression unchanged at her offer.

Hanaella’s face twisted at the sight of Tharrott, who had come to her with another offer of partnership.

She had no intention of accepting, but when Tharrott told her that she needed to speak with her privately about the incident in Ariel House, she agreed.

Despite their agreement to pose as lovers, Tharrott had been wary of saying anything at the hunt in front of the eyes and ears of all the nobles, as it would get him into trouble in more ways than one.

Still, Tharrott wore a triumphant smile, knowing that if he mentioned the day’s events, Hanaella would be his partner, even if she didn’t like it.

First, he’d been interested in her because she was Rosaryn’s choice, then he’d been intrigued because she’d been so hard on him.

Then he’d been amused by the thought of having her as his wife, a woman who was growing more beautiful with each encounter.

And now, as she garnered as much attention as Rosaryn, he couldn’t help but smile at the thought of all the men who would envy him for having two women, Rosaryn and Hanaella, as his wife.

He would be that man, the envy of all, with two of the Empire’s most beautiful women.

In the intoxication of such sweet dreams, Tharrott had overlooked one thing.

That Hanaella was a witch, the first in centuries to carry the Empire’s darkness, its black magic.

Following him through the forest as Tharrott had planned, Hanaella sighed briefly as she watched him scan the area as if looking for a demon, rather than engage in the conversation they had planned.

“Count. I was going to leave the hunt for a moment and talk to you earlier…”

The sudden, unpleasant sound made Hanaella turn around.

In front of her, a giant, mantis-like green creature stared at her and Tharrott with a hideous grimace.

As if it had spotted its prey.

Squeak—

As Hanaella, seeing the creature for the first time, involuntarily swallowed hard, Tharrott seized the opportunity and stood in front of her, sword drawn.

For a moment.

The mantis swung its massive forepaw at Tharrott, and before he could finish his sentence, Tharrott raised his sword to block the creature’s attack.

Hanaella stared at Tharrott, who was fending off the creature with more difficulty than she had expected.

For an elite paladin, he was weaker than she had expected. Of course, she knew it was inevitable.

Holy power itself was a far lesser power than black magic, and the Knights of the Cathedral were always in the shadows of the Dark Knights.

Hanaella glanced behind Tharrott, who was struggling with the Mantis, and when he lost his grip on his sword to the Mantis, she let out a short sigh and quickly cast Shadow Bind.

Then, black shadows rose from the ground and wrapped around the Mantis’ neck, arms, legs, and body.

Suddenly immobilized, it panicked for a moment before extending its two long antennae and sending them flailing at Hanaella and Tharrott, who stood in the way of the creature’s blinking eyes as she cast her next spell, Blade of Darkness.

The mantis writhed in agony as its antennae swiftly flew toward Hanaella and Tharrott, slicing through the black shadows in an instant, the creature let out a ghastly scream.

The howl tore at the creature’s ears, causing Tharrott to cover both of his ears in agony, but Hanaella didn’t blink, her gaze fixed on the next point of attack, and she spoke in a low, hissing voice.

“Madness.”

In an instant, black light began to emanate from every inch of the mantis creature’s body, and soon, the black light exploded and shattered the mantis creature’s body.

Tharrott stared down at the shattered corpse.

The creature he had chosen for easy killing was stronger than he had expected. When the antennae flew at him, he thought he was in trouble for his ill-conceived plan.

But Hanaella had saved his life.

Unbeknownst to Tharrott, there was a hint of reverence in his eyes as he gazed up at Hanaella in amazement at how easily she had slain the creature he had fought so hard to defeat.

After urging Tharrott, still dazed from the Mantis attack, to return to base, Hanaella ventured further into the forest alone to capture the creature that would spill blood on the Hunt.

‘I shouldn’t use madness. If it shatters like it did earlier, the blood should not be sprinkled on the festival.’

My thoughts of killing and dragging them away with only my dark blade led me deep into the forest.

Unfolding the map to see where she was so as not to get lost, Hanaella’s eyes widened at the sudden sense of foreboding.
