chapter 37
37 – A Night in Hyperion Castle – 2
“Haa… Tired…”
Irina let out a sigh as she slumped back in her chair in her own office.
I wanted to lie down on the bed and go to sleep right away, but when I saw the pile of papers on the table, my sleep flew away.
‘I can’t believe you have such a human as your older brother…’
In her mind, Irina put all the torture that could be done on a human to her own brother, Ian, and she let go of her anger.
‘Older brother… He’s a completely different person than my older brother…’
Irina fell into a sinister imagination as she remembered her Gaon’s face for a moment.
-Haa…I was wrong…So please take a look…
-Don’t you call me an older brother?
-Oh .. Oppa ah … Forgive me just once …. She was the original daughter …
-Where can I speak arrogantly? Use respectful words all the time!
-Oh! Oh, I’m sorry. Oh, my brother… Please look…
“What…What a stupid idea!!”
Irina tried her best to erase the insidious delusions from her own head, blushing her face like a carrot.
‘Ha .. But …. If her brother did that to the original woman ….’
Irina made a strange expression as her whole body trembled.
‘Joe…Maybe a little happy…?’
She was
She was Irina She was aware to some extent that she herself was also M.
Because of this, she partly touched Gaon’s planting and secretly wanted him to punish him, but Gaon was not an easy man to move as Irina wanted.
‘Haa…What a foolish imagination…I’ll have to wake up and go to work.’
Irina wanted to clear her mind as best she could and handle her backlog.
However, she was forced to stop her work by the strong and ominous energy she felt in the hallway outside her office.
“…Who is it!”
Irina guarded the door of her office, quickly grabbing her own sword that was propped up against her wall.
‘Assassin? Or a traitor?’
In any case, it was very dangerous in the current situation without the escort knight, Alpheon.
However, the situation that Irina was worried about did not come.
Kikki-
“…You…?”
The person who opened the door and appeared was not an assassin or a traitor, but an angry Gaon with her face distorted like a demon.
“Irina.”
“Uh…Uh…?”
“If you do something wrong, you should be punished, right?”
At that moment, Irina made a puzzled expression and her body trembled.
“Uh…Uh…?”
She instinctively felt that something was wrong with her.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, her body began to heat up.
———————————————
She was obviously angry and came to Irina’s office, exuding her mana, but…
Ann Why are you like this?
“Ha ha… Ha…”
“………”
Um…..What should I do?
Still, I should ask first if this is the Lee Seo-yoon I know, right?
“Irina.”
“Why…Why…?”
“Lee Seo-yoon, about 165 cm tall, is a neat black-haired beauty, right?”
“That’s right…”
As expected, she was not a person with the same name, but the real Lee Seo-yoon I knew.
So this psycho princess dared to do such a thing to the soft-hearted Seoyoon? It’s my first love.
“Is something wrong?”
“Now.. Did I do something wrong…?”
Irina averted her eyes for a moment and avoided my gaze.
As expected, you know yourself?
“Tell me.”
“Uh…No!”
“No?”
Pair-!
“Uh…?”
I slapped Irina’s cheek with the palm of my hand as she lied.
Where do you lie?
“Again.”
“Okay… I didn’t do anything wrong…”
Pair-!
“Ugh. The original girl did nothing wrong…”
Pair-!
“Hey Yak♡”
I asked in a cold voice, hitting Irina’s cheek again and again with the palm of my hand.
“I’ll keep beating you until you admit it.”
“My original daughter is a princess… I can’t forgive this…”
Pair-!
“Haaah.. It hurts.
Pair-!
A long time has passed since then.
Before I knew it, Irina’s cheeks were stained red, reaching a level that could not be cured without her healing magic.
“Why…Why…”
“You really don’t know? Do I have to tell you what’s wrong? I’ve heard it all. This is your last chance. You’d better be prepared if you miss this one.”
“…….”
Irina thought for a while about my last notice, but then she opened her heavy mouth.
“….Lee Seo-yoon, a woman from the other world…..Has been harassed. However, it is for the sake of her growth…!”
“Shut up.”
“Kek?!”
I grabbed Irina’s collar with her right hand as she finally revealed her truth.
Irina’s neckline was perfectly adjusted to the size of her neck, so if you grabbed both of her collars with one hand, you could strangle her.
Thanks to this, Irina began to strangle her and begged her forgiveness with a “Keek kek” Sound.
“I’m sorry…”
“What?”
“Ha…Recklessly…To the earthlings…”
“Isn’t that the problem?”
“Hey!…This…Is causing Lee Seoyoon…Torturing…Mi…I’m sorry…!”
“Good.”
I untied her hand from Irina’s collar. Then Irina slumped to the floor, exhaling her breath heavily.
I roughly pulled up Irina’s beautiful silver hair.
Then Irina forcibly lifted her face and looked at me with her bewildered expression.
“Hey.”
“Why…Why…”
“Did you sign a mana contract with Seoyoon?”
“That…That’s right…”
“Destroy it.”
“..What..What?”
Irina opened her eyes wide at my words, which were close to her notice, and began to speak as if making excuses.
“The mana contract is absolute…! That means it can never be broken. Even if she tries to break it herself, it’s impossible!”
“So you’re saying that Seoyoon has to do your biting thing forever?”
“That…That’s…If the original girl guarantees her maximum freedom…”
“Shut up.”
Holding Irina by her hair, I got up from her seat and moved, dragging Irina like hers.
“Ugh…!”
“Let’s see…”
I started to search Irina’s office with her left hand, which did not hold her hair.
In Irina’s office, documents containing important tasks, several fountain pens, and a world map were found.
“Hmm? What is this?”
Then, in the bottom drawer of the drawer, I found a piece of paper that gave off mana.
“That…That’s…!”
“What is this?”
“Ah..It’s nothing..!”
“Hmm…”
There is something in this paper. It must be something important seeing as suddenly Irina rolls her eyes away from her, losing her composure.
“Let’s see… Is it a contract…? But only the signature line is there?”
“It’s not a contract! So put it down!”
“Really?”
Looking at the mana, it seems to be a magic item…
Just use [Item Research] And you’ll know
“[Item Research].”
[Mana Contract: The other party contracted with this contract can never violate the terms of the contract.]
“Oh my…”
Is this a mana contract?
“Brother..? First of all, put the paper down and talk slowly…”
“My brother is a b*tch.”
I injected mana into the mana contract and started writing down the contents of the contract.
After that, I handed out the mana contract with all the contents of the contract written on it to Irina and ordered it.
“Sign.”
“…This…This…”
*
Mana Contract
1. Irina Hyperion obeys Gaon Park.
2. Irina Hyperion is restricted from all actions to harm Park Gaon.
3. Irina Hyperion’s property is treated as Park Gaon’s property.
*
“What an unfair contract…!”
“What are you talking about. When do you say you don’t know about unfair contracts?”
“No matter how much she loves you, she has crossed her line! Can’t you stop!”
Irina asked me angrily if she read the contract and thought this was really crossing the line.
But she couldn’t do that to me.
“[Psychokinesis]”
“Ugh?!”
“Use it.”
“Mo… My body…!”
I forcibly manipulated Irina’s body using [Psychokinesis].
Irina tried to resist [Psychokinesis] Somehow, but just because she wanted to resist at level 46, she didn’t have the ability to resist.
In the end, Irina forced her to sign the contract with her tears in her eyes.
“Okay. I’ll have to sign it too.”
“Ahhhhh…”
“Don’t cry, it’ll make your heart weak.”
I smiled wickedly as I signed the contract with Mana, just like Irina.
“Congratulations Slave Number One.”
“This… This body… As a princess… Belongs to the Empire…!”
“Hey, did you?”
I commanded Irina, who had a tearful expression on her face.
“Stop.”
“Hick?!”
“So, are you feeling better now?”
“Ughhhhh…”
“Seoyun must have felt the same way you felt when he signed the contract with you, right?”
“Mi..I’m sorry…So…Please…Please be lenient with only slaves…”
In the end, I bowed my pride and smiled mischievously at Irina, who bowed her head to me.
“Then you shouldn’t ask for that.”
“That…Then…?”
“Get down on your knees, bang your head and apologize. Then I’ll see you.”
“That…That can’t be…! This body is the princess…”
“If you want to keep the minimum level of dignity as a human being, you should follow it, right?”
“…………..”
Irina pondered for a long time. However, when she finally met my cold eyes, she trembled and slowly knelt on the floor of her office.
She then knelt down and bowed her head.
“I…I’m sorry…I was wrong…”
“Looks like you still don’t know who’s up?”
“…Sorry…Sorry…Forgive me…So please…Please…”
With this, all of Irina’s pride as her princess was destroyed.
Now Irina is struggling to live as a human at least. In fact, if I said one word, she would be able to live as a livestock, not as a princess.
“Please…Please…”
“Hmm…”
‘Was it a bit harsh?’
Actually, I had no intention of making Irina her slave. Even if Seoyoon did something bad, she was the princess of this empire, a woman who could not be openly treated like a slave.
But I thought that if I left it as it was, the same problem could happen again, so I decided to completely destroy her pride in Irina.
“Please…Please…Forgive me…..Please…..Please…..”
However, seeing Irina’s long apology weakened my heart a little. Looking at the current situation, doesn’t it seem like I’m harassing Irina one-sidedly?
Ah, is it unilateral bullying?
“Please please please please…”
“Okay, now stop…”
In the end, her heart weakened and the moment I tried to get Irina back on her feet, something completely unexpected happened.
[A new void egg is born.]
……Yes?
“Ohh… My king… This is a pretty interesting situation…”
At that moment, Veronica appeared from my shadow with a system message saying that a void egg was born.
Anyway, is it okay to appear in front of Irina like this?
“It’s okay, King. That princess is already in a state of disintegration.”
“Huh?”
“Please please please…”
Now I see Irina, her eyes quivering, repeating her elongated words like her psychotic patient.
If what Veronica is saying is true, then she says Irina is out of her mind right now…
No, but Irina is so mentally weak? Still, she seemed to have a strong mentality.
“I guess the king didn’t know. In fact, void mana basically has the characteristic of wearing down human emotions.”
“But what does that have to do with the current situation?”
“Can’t you notice when I say this?”
Veronica sighed and pointed her finger at me.
“Isn’t the king still spewing void mana?”
“Huh? Come to think of it, is that so?”
Coming to think of it, from the time I entered the office from the hallway, I was exuding a lot of void mana.
I was trying to express ‘I’m angry!’ By using the characteristics of Void Mana, which exudes strong energy.
“That’s right, the princess’ mind must have been continuously worn out by the void mana that the king exudes.”
“Crazy…”
This is bigger than I thought…? I didn’t mean to do it this far.
“It might be a better situation, though.”
“Is this a good situation? Are you kidding me?”
“Thanks to that, the princess hatched from a void egg.”
“The child is a void egg?”
I pointed my finger at Irina, who was still muttering “Please, please, please, please” With her eyes closed.
“That’s right.”
“Why is he a void egg?”
“There are two conditions for being selected as a Void Egg, King.”
Veronica spread out two slender fingers and began to explain to me the conditions to become a void egg.
“First, in order to become a void egg, you basically need to contact void mana.”
“……The condition was met by contacting my void mana?”
“Yes.”
Veronica folded one of her two outstretched fingers.
“And secondly, you must have a feeling of emptiness.”
“What do you mean…?”
“Didn’t I explain it before? The emotion of emptiness is an emotion that blooms when an emotion reaches its end, and it is an emotion that means ‘absence’ of emotion. It must have become.”
In other words, Irina’s mentality completely collapsed thanks to her constant contact with Void Mana…
As a bonus, did Irina, who fell into the void due to contact with void mana + mental destruction, fulfill all of her conditions and change her job to a void egg?
Wow the f*ck does this happen like this? Even common third-rate dramas are not this orderly.
“King, don’t underestimate the void too much. In the past, there were many people who shuddered at the word void.”
“My head hurts just hearing the word void now…”
From now on, except for monsters, the use of void mana is prohibited.
“Please please please…”
“By the way… Have you pushed too hard, my king?”
“How could I have known it would turn out like this.”
“Void mana makes the human spirit defenseless. Even a general who has been on the battlefield for 50 years is no different from a 10-year-old child in front of void mana. So I recommend not using it on humans recklessly.”
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t use it on people anymore…”
When Irina, who seemed so mentally strong, became like this, I could understand how dangerous void mana was.
“But doesn’t the king have [Purity]? If he heals with it, this princess will also come back to her senses, right?”
“…Is that so…?”
But does it also restore the mind?
It’s true that it’s an excellent healing ability, but it’s definitely different from physical pain and emotional pain.
“[Purity] Is a higher concept ability, so it will work. Instead, it won’t be enough to change the job. So, if you use [Purity], You will return to your original mind as a Void Egg.”
“Is that so? I’m glad then.”
As soon as I heard Veronica’s words, I immediately used [Purity] On Irina.
At the same time, as soon as Veronica saw that I used [Purity], She instantly turned into a black mist and disappeared into the shadows.
I went back into the shadows to avoid being seen by Irina, who was about to come to her senses.
“Ugh… My head… Hurts…”
A few seconds after using [Purity], Irina regained her senses with a frown on her face. She started groaning in pain as she ran her hands through her head at the same time.
“…What happened…Ah…Is that so…”
As soon as Irina came to her senses, she put on a resigned expression and raised her head to look at me quietly.
“…Has the original woman become your slave…”
“No, that’s…Well…”
For reference, the effect of the mana contract itself has already completely disappeared thanks to the excellent effect of [Purity]. However, Irina, who does not know about [Purity], Seems to think that the mana contract is still valid.
“I will accept being your slave…But please do not inform the outside world. It will surely cause great trouble to the Hyperion family.”
“Uh… Well… Yes! I’ll keep it a secret that she became my slave.”
“..Thank you… Master…”
“Lord… Master?”
f*ck, I don’t know why, but this girl started getting really immersed in the situation? She just hit her head by the way and she cried so much that she simply nodded like this? Did her personality change as she regained her sanity?
“For the sake of the master… First… What should I do?”
“No, it’s okay if I don’t do anything…?”
“I can’t do that. Serving my master is what slaves do. In a situation like this, just do whatever you want.”
In her moment, Irina looked at me with the eyes of a hyena preying on her prey.
“….I’m happy to accept any name&…”
“Haa…”
…This isn’t the ending I wanted…
I don’t know if Irina is sorry for her sins or a little…Ahhhhh
“…Everything is fine, but don’t even call me master.”
“I don’t like it.”
“f*ck…”
