My Wife the Empress is Becoming Frightening - Chapter 58
58 – 58. Lust (the desire to feel about the body)
Episode 58
I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. My body was bound by magical power, so there was nothing I could do other than that.
It was miserable indeed. Do we have no choice but to wait until someone comes to rescue us?
Rarely has Selemin been by my side. It was said that a strong enemy who did not know who it was appeared and had to control the incarnation directly.
I don’t know who came because I’m in a state where I can’t even detect it, but if I came alone, there would be no chance.
As I was praying to myself that it would be better not to be killed like a dog and run away in a hurry, I felt the wind coming in through the open window in the room.
“… … ?”
It was strange. It was because I remember that Selemin must have sealed all the doors in this room with magic to prevent my possible escape.
“You look miserable, Isaac.”
It is hard to believe that it was the queen of the elves who suddenly pushed her face onto me lying down. What happened? Did you pass Selemin’s surveillance with the power of the spirit?
“Shh. More details later. Because I don’t have much time.”
Before I could say anything, Odelia covered my mouth with the cloth she had brought. Then he picked me up in a hug and immediately jumped out the window.
Should I call this a kidnapping or a rescue? Either way, the feeling of being carried away by a woman is deeply humiliating.
Odelia, who jumped over the castle wall in one breath while holding me, literally became the wind and began to fly.
… … Is Odelia next to Selemine? I was hoping someone would save me, but at least that someone wasn’t him.
I felt like I was going to be half what I was meant to be, and I closed my eyes.
—
“What the hell was that guy doing?”
Selemine, who was watching the back of Valentino Knox, who was running away through the eyes of the incarnation, muttered to herself as she disconnected from the incarnation.
I didn’t know that he would suddenly run away, so the response was delayed. If he wanted to, he could have pursued it, but Selemin, who gave up because it was annoying, decided to go back to Isaac.
“Looks like you’re waiting patiently, my Isaac.”
It was Selemin who swallowed Morior’s authority and became able to manipulate even the incarnations.
However, since the power she possesses is only a part of the power of the Goddess of Creation, it is necessary to focus separately in order to handle the incarnation properly.
Above all, if you want to merge the scattered incarnations into one and recreate them into a strong entity and directly control it, the power will inevitably be directly erupted from Selemin.
Isaac, who was weakened by his own curse, would not be able to handle it, so he had to use his power from a distance.
“Even if it’s far away, that’s how I feel.”
Returning to the castle at once by using magic, Selemin headed to the room where Isaac was waiting. I didn’t feel any noticeable change in Isaac’s presence.
The fight against Valentino Knox wasn’t long, but Selemine already missed Isaac. I hurriedly entered the room at a quick pace.
Because of this, when Isaac was not on the bed in the room he entered after opening the door, his body froze before becoming angry or embarrassed.
“… … … Isaac?”
Selmin looked around the room in disbelief. The presence of Isaac still lingered in the room, but he was nowhere to be seen.
“what? what? what? what? what-!”
Selemine’s magical power, which had been stirring the room like crazy, exploded. At the same time, the entire room was blown away, revealing the identity of the presence she was feeling.
“mana? no, it’s not what the hell is this… ?”
As a sorceress, her eyes clearly caught the form of the power that deceived her.
Selemine tried to put her hand on it inadvertently, but the power that imitated Isaac’s stance dissipated and disappeared before her hand could touch it, as if it had a will.
As a result, all that was left was a single woman who had disappeared like a loved one evaporating without any clue.
“Isaac—-!”
The roar of a beast would not be enough, and Selemin’s magical power destroyed the castle at once.
However, it was not visible. It was neither detected nor felt. After a while, I was really away for a while, and Isaac disappeared.
“where are you? who is this? by what means? dare! I will kill you! No, I won’t let you die, and I’ll make you feel the pain of rotting your whole body forever! Isaac? Where are you? Sir Isaac!”
With a look that can only be described as out of mind, Selemin began searching the castle he had made into ruins.
Of course, there was no way Isaac was in the ruins, and he shouldn’t have been, but Selemin was in a state where he couldn’t even think of such an obvious thing.
“Who is it? Marianne? Haria? okay. Only those two years! You’re taking Isaac away from me! f*cking thieves looking at someone else’s man!”
It didn’t matter how he managed to fool his own surveillance nets or what the power was to imitate Isaac’s presence.
“It’s Jin. It’s Jin! Right now, I will destroy the Blata Empire, no, all mankind, and bring Isaac back!”
The influence on the monsters and incarnations of the void was not yet complete, but Selemin did not mind. He could have lost the monsters and incarnations as long as he could get Isaac back.
In the first place, monsters, incarnations, and even Morior’s powers are just tools to be with Isaac.
“I am different from you! I know everything about him! Isaac-sama’s courage, sorrow, tears, laughter, sorrow, resolution, duty, sacrifice, love, hope, despair, and yet, the sun rising from the mud again and again. I’ve been watching!”
That’s why I wanted to have it. Because it was Selemin who had lived her life envying Marianne, who was the brilliant sun she could not have.
She wanted to have him, another sun that burned much hotter than what Selemin had longed for, a light that could not be achieved even if she tried with all her might.
“You already have the light, Marianne! It’s okay if you give me at least one, at least one!”
Even if the night comes, it cannot stop the morning from coming. Such was the life of Isaac, watched by Selemin.
It was interesting to see a young boy who ran to the battlefield on his own as soon as he reached the age where he could hold a sword with one sense of duty as a prince.
As he grew from a boy to an adult, he lost his innocence in the process, but the emotion he felt when he saw the young man who had not lost his first heart was love.
Eventually, a life, a warrior, a prince of the kingdom, but a being equivalent to a god of battle, the name of the emotion I felt when I saw him was love.
It was unmistakable love. Selemin’s love had started there. I couldn’t let go of the sun I had barely found.
“As your master, I command all monsters and incarnations! March right now, trample on all mankind, and take him back… !”
-Wait a minute.
Despite being able to manipulate it with thoughts, Selemin, who had been declaring aloud because he couldn’t overcome his emotions, hesitated.
It’s because she heard another ego talking to her in her mind.
“Morior? what? I’m busy right now!”
– A stupid thing. That much I know. So that’s what I said.
“what?”
Selemin couldn’t understand Morior’s words. Because he gained her power, he was able to understand the Goddess of Creation’s hatred more clearly than before.
She was kicked out by the giant into all the gods and the void due to the jealousy of the first generation of mankind, created by the original giant.
The second generation of mankind, whose gods disappeared and degenerated and changed, betrayed even the creations of Morior who reaped them.
There would be no reason to hesitate, and there would be no reason to stop the work of annihilating mankind now.
-Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying don’t destroy humanity.
“then?”
– I’m trying to tell you that the direction is wrong. If you want Isaac Mayer back, you have to go that way, not that way.
Seeing the direction indicated by Morior’s fingers, rather than her thoughts, Selemin asked with a frown.
“That way is the direction of the Mayer Kingdom. Are you sure you want to use this as an opportunity to destroy the Mayer Kingdom by using me?”
-This shortcoming. Are you assuming that the battle madmen have a sophisticated means of fooling your watch?
“then? What’s over there besides Mayer… … … ah.”
Belatedly realizing what Morior was trying to say, Selemin’s eyes widened at once.
“Heterogeneous people?! They stole Isaac? Did you know that!?”
Are you really using only half of your brain? It is none other than you who absorbed all of my power, even if it was only a part, that I managed to bring out of the void. How do you think I could have sensed it when I was barely conscious inside of you?
Selmin felt annoyed. I didn’t really like Morior, who refuted item by item and only said the right thing.
But it was clear that he had a clue about Isaac, so he had no choice but to listen in silence. Morior continued the story to Selemin, who was quietly waiting for an explanation.
-I don’t know which race it is, but it must have used the power of the spirit. Spirits are beings that were born at the same time as our gods. I’ve never competed directly with them because they’re self-destructing to fight, but with their strength, it’s possible to fool even me. Well, it should be assumed that it is not the power of the body as it is now.
Selemin, who never imagined that the spirit would be such a high-ranking being, blinked for a moment, but that was all. Their history was not part-time job anyway.
After listening to Morior’s explanation, Selemin regained his composure and asked the question in his heart again.
“Apart from the elimination method of possibility, are there any other grounds?”
-The form of power that was pretending to be Isaac’s presence that you just missed. It was a trace of the spirit’s use of power.
It became clear. Selemine was able to infer the identity of the person who stole Isaac from her.
“Then it’s most likely an elven queen named Odelia. Because she said she was also targeting Isaac-sama.”
-… … Did he touch the elf too?
“Who’s going to touch it! The chicken coop elf attacked Isaac? but what You made me see Isaac’s past, but you don’t know anything about Isaac?”
-That’s funny. Do you think I’d be interested in humans?
“So is it.”
Convinced by the Goddess of Creation, Selemin changed the direction of the monsters and incarnations. Their destination is the eastern edge of the continent where the kingdom of Mayer and the realm of different races coexist.
“I’ll get you soon, Sir Isaac… !”
Selmin, sitting on the throne created in an instant with magical power, came to mind and repeated Isaac’s name with a sorrowful heart.
That’s why Selemin, who was immersed in the idea of getting Isaac back, lost sight of it.
-… … … .
The contradiction of the Goddess of Creation, who said that she had no interest in humans and not only told her how to save them, but also revealed the possibility that the identity of the culprit was the race she created.

It’s not love. In the first place, it was more like an addiction than an emotion. If you have to ask… … yes.
Shall we call it lust?
