Episode 6

“Untie this thing right now!”

It’s been a long time since everyone has attracted attention from Leon, who is running like a beast.

I knew right away. Now that I have been recognized as the successor to the Spades, every situation is in my favour.

On purpose, I opened my eyes wider, straightened my waist, and continued my story clearly, showing a ring engraved with the spade’s crest in front of my eyes for everyone to see.

“As the successor of the Spade family, the Postade, who has framed me, slandered, abused and taken my place as successor, I am asking the people to let the Postade family out from this ceremony venue.”

In the middle of the platform, I stood proudly in my two feet, where I could get everyone’s attention on one body.

“While I was weak and restrained from using magic, they treated me like poorly, used a lot of abusive languages, and physically abused me.”

The word “gasp” came from different sources.

Among the successors, as well as those below the podium, there were several who uttered unbelieving sighs.

Especially in Rachel’s case, she was looking at me with her trembling hands.

A day after the possession, all the memories of Yerine receiving medical treatment from the Postade family flowed into my head.

So, I wasn’t making up stories.

For all the brutality of the Postade family remained clear in the memory of Yerine.

“And he threatened to kill me if I didn’t hand over my succession.”

With my quiet voice, people began to whisper, covering their mouths one by one.

“Somehow……the Spade’s position was vacant at the moment, so they were trying to take over it.”

Leon’s eyes rolled uneasily at my words.

“How could they do that to the native spade’s child? The cruel ones.”

At this point, Leon would have noticed. Whose side are people on?

I clasped my hands in front of him, and made the most pitiful expression of my heart, and uttered a cry.

“I don’t want to punish them, I just want to let those demons-like people out of here.”

Although all my words were acting, the grief Yerine felt inside was real.

She’s had a hard time withering for years, and she’s only been waiting for the day to be liberated from them like today.

Even by suppressing with her own strength for unknown reasons.

“Oh, my God……that little thing…”

Soon after, the sniffling sound began to hear in the ceremony venue.

Fortunately, it seems that the smoke has passed through. There’s no acting and everything Yerine ever had is real.

Soon the official banged down on the platform and said the last word.

“We accept.”

As soon as the official’s words fell, the lower-level officials, who I had no idea where they were hiding, poured out in unison and seized the Postade.

Frankly speaking, the only people who made a fuss in the situation were the Postades, so the officials could pick out The Postades even if they didn’t know their faces.

“What, no, wait a minute! Wait, listen to me–”

Realizing that the situation was unfavourable, Leon changed his posture and shouted softly to the official, but the official didn’t even listen to him.

“Hey! You can’t do this thing to me!”

The Countess Postade was expressing that nasty temper with her whole body as usual.

So I smiled triumphantly as I watched in real-time the moment the expressionless officials, grabbed the sweating profusely Leon, Fernand and Countess Postade and threw them into the exit.

Even after the door was closed, the Postade knocked on the door with a thud, but the official locked the door altogether.

Only after the Postade disappeared from the ceremony venue did the official above the podium, wearing glasses speak, in a deep voice.

“Then let’s move on to the next step. Finally, we will proceed with the appointment of each successor.”

As all the successors stood in a row at the podium, the official looked at us one by one and brought up his words in a calm tone.“Eugene Brian Ace, Rayl Aiden Diamond, Rachel Carmel Ale Club, Ashtra Myon Jacqueline, and Yerine Ephritte Spade.”

The official, who exchanged glances with us one by one, smiled strangely, looking again at the long scroll.

“I appoint you as successors to the 7 Imperial Family of the Great Tigris Empire. Now raise your right hand and repeat what I say.”

All the successors raised their right hands in unison.

“I, myself, solemnly pledge to faithfully carry out my duties as a successor to the 7 Imperial Family of The Great Tigris Empires.”

I raised my right hand and repeated it in a clear and confident voice.

“I, myself, Yerine Ephritte Spade, solemnly pledge to faithfully perform my duties as the successor 7 Imperial Family of The Great Tigris Empires.”

As soon as our successors’ oaths were over, the fire of the glass that we had lit in advance flamed in unison, turning the dark ceremony venue into blue.

Then the candles surrounding the ceremony venue lit up in unison and the ceremony venue was brightened again.

Along with him, the applause and cheers of the people filled the ceremony venue.

When I found out that a huge number of people were congratulating me under the podium with a smiling face, something rose up in my heart.

Of course, I didn’t shed tears in front of them. Now that I’m the real successor, I shouldn’t be weak in front of people.

But the tip of my nose was a bit sour.

When I was so sentimental alone, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

“Yerine…”

It was Rachel, who kept glancing at me and looking at me with a worried look during the appointment ceremony.

“Well done…”

Holding my hands, Rachel said in a slightly blocked voice.

As the successor to the Ale Club, she must have been very concerned about today’s appointment ceremony, but she seemed to have been worried about me all along the way.

Somehow, I felt sorry and thankful, so I smiled and responded.

“You did a good job, too. Thank you for your concern.”

Rachel shook her hand at the remark, not knowing what to do.

“No, you’ve suffered more…”

While talking to Rachel like that, the official wearing glasses hit the podium again.

“With this, I’ll end today-.”

It was then.

The sound of a cold, sharp voice that froze the entire venue.

“Wait.”

The voice startled everyone in the venue and began to search for the source of the voice.

‘This voice… can’t be….’

If my memory isn’t wrong, this voice must belong to the person I just met.

Sure enough, when I looked up, I saw a man with black hair like a crow coming up the platform.

“Wha……what…….”

The official stammered and was at a loss for words.

When I saw inside the gold eye, which glowed like a hungry beast through its dark hair, I had goosebumps all over my body as if I had become a rabbit before a wolf.

Everyone on the platform did. Everyone was overwhelmed by the man and couldn’t move a single step.

“Gasp…”

At that tremendous momentum, the other successor standing beside me hurriedly shut her mouth and bowed her head with a frightened face.

Either way, the man took a step by step with a dangerous look like a jaguar slowly approaching the prey.

‘How long is he going to be following ……’

The man’s burdensome eyes really didn’t miss a single thing and were directed at me exactly.

I couldn’t get away from the idea that this guy was going to cause some trouble here.As if to prove my prediction, he slowly came to my front and stopped, then licked his lips with his tongue again like a beast.

I instinctively put Rachel behind my back to protect her.

At a time when I was rolling my head for a long time in stifling tension, I heard the man’s slow voice.

“Finally found you, my saviour.”

Savior?

What’s he talking about?

I looked up at the man in front of my eyes at the vague remark.

“Look, I was right.”

Gradually I didn’t understand this situation.

After the appointment ceremony, I thought I was done with what I should do today, but out of the blue, what is this?

“What are you saying–”

But I couldn’t finish what I was going to say.

It was because suddenly the man raised his thin, long finger and stroked my cheek.

“If you think you can run away again, it’s a big miscalculation, Yerine.”

My heart suddenly sank with a thud, as I felt a careful hand like it was dealing with something really precious.

His golden eyes glistened and shone as I looked at the man’s face in astonishment at the sound of my growing, fast-running heart.

‘Ye, Yerine have you ever seen this person before?’

No matter how much I thought about it, the memory of the man in front of me did not flow in.

This is why I recovered all of Yerine’s memories of abuse by the Postade family.

After a day of concealing why, when I met someone Yerine knew in the past, memories related to that person flowed into my head.

When I saw the users who had been in the castle for a long time in the hallway that day, Yerine’s memory related to them came to mind.

But nothing came to mind when I saw this man for the first time today.

‘Rachel’ was a friend she used to play with when Yerine was a kid, so I must have been able to remember.’

If Yerine knew this man, her memories should have flowed in, as it did when I saw Rachel.

Therefore, I had to conclude that Yerine had never seen this man.

As I stared blankly at him in confusion, the man suddenly held my shoulders and bowed his head.

In an instant, his warm breath reached my ears.

“I’ll never miss you again this time, so keep that in mind.”

I was so surprised that I quickly pushed the man’s chest.

Surprised, the man looked at me with wide-open eyes with his hands in the air, had nowhere to go.

Then, the people’s murmurs swelled uncontrollably to fill the venue.

“Oh, my God, what’s going on?”

“What’s going on, man?”

“Is there a love fight?”

Then, Rachel’s voice hit her ear.

“No way…….”

The man looked back, aghast at the voice.

“The Second Prince…..?”

The word “Second Prince” brought me to a standstill.

Why haven’t I thought about it so far?

Black hair, rare golden eyes, and a good-looking face that might be called the male lead.

All the hints were given, but why couldn’t I remember it like a fool?

“The Second Prince……..?”

I thought I should get out of here right away.

Because the Second Prince was the one who drove Yerine, who was crazy to insult the original heroine, to the bottom of hell.
