memory
-found! He is the pirate queen’s child!
-Whahaha! Oh my gosh, oh my!
―Damn pirate queen! They must have ignored our pirates!
-Shall I kill you?
-You idiot! I have to collect the ransom!
When asked what the most painful memory of his life was, Dietrich could confidently say that it was that day.
that day.
The day I was kidnapped by pirates.
Blindfolded and with his hands and feet tied, the young Dietrich was taken to an unknown location in the ocean.
He was trapped for over a month, and until that time, no answer came from Dietrich’s mother, the Pirate Queen.
-Still no answer from the Pirate Queen?
―I’m afraid she’s a cold-blooded woman. I don’t think she even blinks when her child is kidnapped.
– Didn’t you kidnap me by mistake?
-It’s already been over a month! Let’s just kill it!
Her mother did not respond to the pirates’ demands for ransom.
At first, I thought it couldn’t be possible.
He tried to comfort her and then turned away from her, wondering if her mother would abandon her.
Either the news hasn’t arrived yet, or something went wrong somewhere along the way!
However, it wasn’t.
When Dietrich’s kidnapping reached 60 days, well over 30 days.
Dietrich learned the truth.
-The Queen has officially announced that she will not pay the ransom.
-It seems like I was abandoned.
-Poor guy. Who would have thought that they would abandon their only child like this?
―The queen is not even human.
Dietrich was abandoned.
At first I denied it, but I no longer had the strength to do so.
The reason he was able to survive in the middle of the sea with extreme temperature differences between day and night, eating food worse than dog food, was because of the hope that his mother would never abandon him.
That hope has disappeared.
Actually, I knew it.
The pirate queen never bows down to others.
Especially that he never negotiates with other pirates.
‘Am I going to die?’
Dietrich, who was very skinny, looked up at the stars in the night sky and smiled self-mockingly.
‘Am I abandoned?’
I heard the story of pirates.
The Pirate Queen will not come to rescue Dietrich.
Dietrich, who was no longer useful, was to be publicly executed tomorrow.
Or sold as a slave to some remote country.
‘I’d rather be executed.’
It is better to die than to live as someone’s slave.
However, there was a high possibility that the pirates would sell Dietrich somewhere to make up for some of the money they had spent on feeding him.
So, Dietrich was worried.
‘Let’s die like this.’
You die by biting your tongue.
If that doesn’t work, hit your head.
What meaning is there in this life?
“Do you want to live?”
It was then.
A blue bird flew in and asked Dietrich.
I thought I was seeing something in vain.
I have never seen such a small blue bird in this area.
It was clear that he was hallucinating because his condition was bad.
So, Dietrich answered helplessly.
“I want to die…”
I didn’t want to live.
I didn’t think it would be that bad if I died like this.
Anyway, what you see before your eyes is an illusion.
I know that even if I pray for my life, I cannot survive.
“You’re alive, so you don’t want to ask? “Why did I abandon you?”
“······I don’t want to know.”
What is the point of knowing that reason?
Even if there were unavoidable circumstances, 60 days have already passed.
It makes no sense that there wasn’t even time to send a small letter.
“It would be a waste for you to die like this. Your talent is quite attractive. But in this situation, it seems like there’s only one ‘gamer’ who can save you…”
What are you talking about?
I didn’t understand it at all.
Wasn’t it just nonsense?
“So, I’ll ask you again. Aren’t you curious who sent these pirates to kidnap you? “Don’t you really wonder why the Queen gave you up?”
I abandoned my family.
For Dietrich, this was unthinkable.
If it was someone you care about, you should never let go of their hand, no matter what the reason.
It may be a fantasy that appears in a desperate heart.
Deep in his heart, it was clear that the blue bird was born from the wish that his mother would not abandon him.
“···I can’t survive anyway.”
“It’s unlikely, but ‘that person’ can save you. Honestly, I’m a little curious too. “How can I save you from this situation?”
“If you sign a contract, you will forget everything anyway. So, let me tell you one thing. “It was your father who sent these pirates.”
“father···? “Did I have a father?”
“King Cernil! He played with fire with the queen and gave birth to you. The queen finds out everything and is desperate. “If you die like this, the queen will die too.”
“My mother…”
I don’t know.
King Cernil is her father, and doesn’t that mean that he instigated the pirates to kidnap her?
There was no makjang like this.
Moreover, when my mother realized that fact, she let everything go.
My mother was the Queen of Iron Blood.
Does this mean that she, who did not even blink at the death of her close associate, was truly in love with King Cernil?
Doesn’t that make sense?
It’s also a fantasy.
But Dietrich was curious.
“How can I survive?”
So I asked.
Even if you think about it a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times, it is impossible to overcome this situation.
So give it a try.
In an instant, the contract was concluded.
The most terrible day.
The most terrible memory.
In a place where there was no chance of survival, Dietrich survived.
Phantom.
He saved himself.
It was a miracle.
When Dietrich remembered his lost memories, he remembered that the phantom escaped the situation through his own body.
The process was truly speechless.
With their dying bodies, they lured the pirates and killed them one by one.
After awakening and learning all the facts, Dietrich headed to the Kingdom of Cernil.
To ask the king why he was kidnapped by other pirates and abandoned his mother.
Having gone through such hardships, Dietrich had no trouble.
I was sure that nothing more terrible than that could exist.
But… it wasn’t.
‘······This is a more terrible place than inside that iron cage.’
Than the place where I was trapped for over 60 days.
This place was even more terrifying.
This place was truly hell itself.
Every day, someone is eaten, and someone else is dragged away as a corpse.
I didn’t know when it would be Dietrich’s turn.
Is it not only that?
“Ahh…Ahhhh!”
At some point, Apsel started screaming.
Dietrich seemed to know why Absel was doing that.
Absel occasionally opens his eyes and looks at Dietrich.
Because it resembled the knights who ate someone behind bars every day.
Absel wants to eat Dietrich.
To resist that impulse, you scream.
afraid. scary.
In this situation, I couldn’t close my eyes and sleep comfortably.
There are no bluebirds here.
Phantom… He, too, will not come to save himself.
Because there was no contract, and you are not even his significant other.
‘···How long do you plan on hoping for someone’s help, Dietrich?’
It was that moment.
Dietrich came to his senses.
That day, the queen did not come to rescue Dietrich.
You should not foolishly wait for someone to come to help you again.
‘I am the king of the Cernil Kingdom.’
Dietrich was king.
He took out the guardian holy sword and proved himself.
Although he is not the king that everyone recognizes.
Still, it was okay.
Because you just have to prove it until it works.
Because I will stand up on my own.
“…I alone am your master. “Guardian holy sword.”
Ssssssssssssssssss!
At the same time, the guardian holy sword was placed in Dietrich’s hand.
The sword that had been stolen was summoned again into Dietrich’s hands.
Recognized as the owner of the perfect guardian holy sword.
There is only one thing left now.
‘Escape.’
I remember the Phantom who made the impossible possible.
···can do.
Dietrich hid the guardian holy sword.
I took advantage of the time between shifts with the guards and waited until the guard was left alone.
And when the time came, he spoke to the guard holding the key.
“hey.”
“······?”
“Don’t you want to eat my body?”
“What is that little guy talking about?”
The huge guard tilted his head.
Dietrich said.
“When the other knights came down and ate, their mouths were watering. “How long do you plan on just watching?”
“That is a favor bestowed by King Rundmal.”
“Just give me a glass of water. Then I will let you eat my arm.”
“······He told me not to touch it.”
“Just give me a glass of water, and I won’t tell you. “Who will know if I don’t tell you?”
“I will interrogate you…”
“If it stays like this anyway, I will be eaten by Apsel. This guy is not a dwarf. “A knight who has evolved into a dwarf.”
“······.”
“My last wish is to have at least a glass of cool water.”
gulp!
The guard swallowed.
“You really don’t say anything?”
“iced coffee. “I promise to give it my all.”
“······ i get it. wait.”
The guard brought water with his mouth drooling.
“Drink.”
“Inside… I don’t have the strength to move.”
“Tsk. “You’re not thinking nonsense, are you?”
“Look at our condition. What can I do right? “All weapons were taken away.”
“······Hmm. “That too.”
The guard looked inside the cage.
Clearly, the skin and bones are so close that there is no strength to move.
What can these little guys do?
Dwarves without even weapons are weak, worse than insects.
Finally, the guard opened the bars and entered.
“Drink.”
“Closer… I’m sorry. I wish I could pour it directly into my mouth. “I really don’t have the strength to lift a finger.”
“You’re bothering me. “Be sure to keep your promise.”
“Don’t worry.”
The guard approached Dietrich with a bowl of water.
Then, the moment I lowered my head to make him drink water.
‘now!’
Suddenly!
Dietrich took the hidden holy sword and cut off the jailer’s head.
thud!
A guard who lost his head was rolling around on the floor.
Dietrich then spoke to Absel with a cold expression.
“Eat. Absel. “It’s your food.”
*
Kwaaaaang!
The tower shakes.
The crack that started underground soon spread throughout the tower.
“It’s a monster!”
“A monster has emerged from the dungeon!”
“They’re eating all the knights…!”
Something sinister appeared and started eating them.
The more you eat, the stronger it becomes, and its form becomes more rugged.
It’s like something you’ve been starving your whole life.
He was greedily devouring runes.
Even King Lundmal at the top of the tower felt that incredible magical power.
However, it is a strange thing.
I felt like I had definitely felt this magic somewhere.
That too in the not-too-distant past.
King Lundmal, who soon realized the true nature of the magical power, smiled.
“······ Abcelon. “Was she alive?”
