Princess Who Hides Her Fandom

It was two days after Agnes left.

The temple made an important announcement.

The northern snowy mountain called the end of the world.

A place where no human footprints have ever been left.

The temple began to study its secrets using a magic golem created with special technology.

It was already several years ago that strange magical waves were discovered there.

However, it was a place where people couldn’t reach because of its high altitude.

So the temple used a specially made golem.

The summit of a mysterious mountain that no one has conquered.

Unexpectedly, there was a huge statue there, believed to have been erected in ancient times.

It was a stone statue that seemed to symbolize the appearance of an ancient god.

After discovering the place that only exists in legend, the priests gathered a team of capable researchers and studied the place in depth.

Even though it is a place where snow falls all the time, mysteriously, snow didn’t accumulate on the statue and it didn’t freeze even in low temperatures.

Also, there was something strange and out of place in front of the statue.

It was a ghastly crack, as if the air had been distorted and torn, and the inside was pitch black with no light at all.

The temple was periodically observed through a camera installed on the magic golem.

You couldn’t see it on days when there was a lot of snow, but you could see it again when the snow melted.

However, it couldn’t be observed for a while because it didn’t melt for a particularly long period of time.

One day, when the snow finally melted, researchers were able to see it again.

The sight that appeared was shocking.

The small black gap had suddenly grown disgustingly large, as if a snake had opened its mouth.

And the day the war against the devil ended.

The gap disappeared like a lie.

It didn’t completely disappear. It’s just healed like a black line, as if it was forced closed.

The temple guessed that there was a close connection between this unknown gap and the crack where demons appeared.

And back to the present…

The day recently when cracks appeared again.

As expected, the black gap observed was the mouth opening.

The temple gave it the name Source of Cracks.

And he quickly found a way to get rid of it.

It was impossible for him to dispatch the knights right away.

From the beginning, it was a place where people could not reach.

Even if a flying object was launched, it couldn’t rise above a certain height due to atmospheric pressure.

It was impossible for an average person to withstand that pressure and altitude.

Moreover, you needed the ability to get up there in the first place.

The temple judged that there were two strong candidates.

Raymond Spencer is said to possess both noble magic and pure divine power.

And Kylo Gray, who has both explosive strength and magical power that surpasses monsters.

Unless someone had power that surpassed that of an ordinary person, he or she could not be considered a candidate.

However, it wasn’t possible for the temple to point out the person who should be sacrificed.

The temple conveyed the results of its judgment to the world through the emperor, excluding their names.

It was an incident that could turn the entire empire upside down.

The people of the empire, who were frightened, came to the capital and began protesting in front of the imperial castle.

He raised his voice, saying that the source of the crack must be eliminated at all costs.

However, one side said that another way must be found, saying that peace that is preserved through the sacrifice of one person has no meaning.

However, no one was able to come up with meaningful measures.

A few days passed in chaos like that.

Meanwhile, Kylo Gray visited the princess’s palace several times.
As soon as he heard the news from the temple, Kylo Gray realized his role.

Now his head has cleared, as if all the puzzles have come together.

It seemed like he had finally regained his usefulness. It was a strange feeling.

But he couldn’t leave easily.

His senseless greed kept holding him back.

Just in case. If his thoughts about Princess Agnes aren’t his own illusions…

He could never die.

But he also had self-destructive thoughts.

In any case, even if he and the princess had the same feelings, it wasn’t an easy relationship.

He had nothing of his own.

No high title, no fortune, no honor like others. Since I had nothing, there was nothing I could do for Agnes.

So, what if you give up your life to become a meaningful being?

Wouldn’t it also be meaningful the sacrifice made the world she lives in less painful?

I was lost in sentimental thoughts and wanted to be engraved in Princess Agnes’ memory.

So he had to meet the princess.

But even on her third visit, Kylo had to hear words of rejection.

“She says she doesn’t want to see you.”

Kylo clenched his fists at the chamberlain’s firm words.

“Once again…Please tell her. I have to meet her, definitely today…”

“…Please wait a moment.”

However, the chamberlain came out a moment later and said something even more miserable than before.

“…The princess says she hopes you never comes to visit again.”

“……”

Kylo realized that this was her truth.

It was the moment when his illusion was completely shattered.

After a while, he took a step back.

A sense of relief came along with the extreme emptiness.

He felt fortunate.

Because I can do my best without any regrets.

The court doctor tilted his head.

There was clearly no problem with Princess Agnes’ health.

However, Princess Agnes was helpless to the extent that she was strange.

She didn’t want to get out of bed, and all she wanted to do was sleep all day.

When they heard the news, even Crown Prince Damian came to the princess’s palace in worry.

However, he couldn’t even exchange a few words with Agnes and had to leave the princess’s palace.

“It seems like a symptom of depression….”

The emperor was furious at the courtier’s words.

I can’t believe Princess Agnes has become like this while I haven’t been able to pay attention to her due to the crack problem.

The emperor blamed the courtiers and servants and walked directly to the princess’s palace with the crown prince.

The courtiers, servants, and maids froze and followed the emperor and crown prince into the princess’s bedroom.

Damian was dissatisfied that Agnes was causing trouble during this hectic situation, but he held back.

One way or another, Agnes is his family.

Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity and brought in Raymond Spencer, who happened to be with him.

I recently heard that Agnes refuses to meet with Raymond at all.

So he has no choice but to meet in this way.

As I entered the bedroom, I saw the inside of a gorgeous room.

Agnes was lying limply asleep on the bed.

“Agnes.”

Emperor Alexander woke up Agnes, who was asleep in bed.

Agnes slowly opened her eyes and looked blankly at the emperor.

“Agnes, where does it hurt? Why are you doing this?”

“……”

Agnes just blinked without saying anything.

Damian’s eyebrows furrowed at the symptom that seemed more serious than expected.

Raymond, who was standing behind her, also turned pale.

“Agnes?”

“……”

The emperor called Agnes’ name several times.

It happened in an instant.

Agnes’ body, which the emperor was holding, slowly began to crumble into powder.

Everyone’s expressions were filled with astonishment at a scene that seemed like something out of a nightmare.

“Ah, Agnes…!”

The emperor’s hand, which was more surprised than anyone else, wandered in the air, its shape disappearing.

The servants and maids belatedly screamed in shock.

Damian frowned and shouted.

“Agnes! Come out now! What kind of joke…!”

But the bedroom was quiet.

There was an eerie silence that gave me goosebumps.

“……”

Traces of the powder that had been scattered remained on the bed.

And soon the cluster of light fluctuated and even disappeared.

All that was left on it was a piece of paper.

The densely engraved letters were Agnes’s handwriting.

It was Agnes’ first will.

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn’t leave the place.
