CH 207

“You’ll break your bones if you try to stand too hard, okay?”

The woman in question said while I was being pressed down to the floor by the invisible and mysterious force as if she was looking at an insect whose wings got plucked off.

“I’m sorry, old man. I know you said that you won’t forgive me or something earlier, but we are the ones who won’t forgive you, so please don’t make the mistake of thinking that. 

By the way, the Empire has already purged all slave traders, dark organizations that deal with illegal slaves, and anyone connected to them. However, since you are part of one such organization created and nurtured by the Kingdom, I would at least expect one of you to have some backbone, though the ones you brought as escorts were not good at all. That, however, is not because you aren’t good enough but because the master you serve is of a different calibre, so if you want to resent someone, you should resent His Majesty the King, who is in agony there. Now, who would you like to die first?”

If it had been before she attacked me, I would have dismissed it as nonsense or a bluff, and I would have laughed at it instead of getting angry at such an obvious lie.

However, the fact that she attacked me and it ended in me being stuck here, waiting for her to kill me, could only prove her words true.

Even if we could escape from her invisible force, we couldn’t from her other attack, and neither could we call for help or even tell the outside world what was going on unless His Majesty the King escaped from the invisible force and left the room.

Furthermore, His Majesty the King got attacked in some way on his leg, so even if he wasn’t under the invisible force, he wouldn’t be able to stand up due to the pain.

With the invisible force on top of it? There is no way he could ever escape from the room.

This likely means that we will get killed by this one young girl without being able to put up any resistance and without knowing anything about the magic she used.

If God exists in this world, isn’t this too unreasonable? I felt like asking out loud.

But no matter how unreasonable or unforgivable it is, I couldn’t see any way to reverse the situation.

There’s nothing we can do about this invisible force in the first place or the attack on His Majesty the King because we don’t know what had and is happening. 

“What are you doing when I take my eyes off you for a second? I thought I said it was just a detour today?”

“Ouch!?”
