A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

300 – Final Farewell (4)

About 10 minutes before midnight.

-I will make you a queen.

Naria Geo Nostrum thought.

When she was 10, Gray Gibraltar decided to become her own knight.

At first she thought she had a romantic interest.

It is common for a boy to feel attracted to and show interest in a girl.

Of course, it is no exaggeration to say that the relationship between parents is one of bitter enmity, but in the history of the kingdom, it was quite common for love between children to wash away the resentment of parents.

But Naria soon realized.

Gray Gibraltar says she doesn’t look at herself as her opposite s*x.

Although she was a little disappointed, she wasn’t particularly dissatisfied with me or Lia.

Although she felt that the boy was too difficult for her to feel a romantic interest in her, Naria’s survival was more important to her than that.

Her Her Her own life Her Her Her was different from her Her Her her ordinary family her Her her.

It was too strange for her to say that she was the princess of the kingdom.

Although she is not a king, she is a mother who is busy with government affairs and cannot be seen often.

Her grandfather, who always treats her with respect and kindness.

I understand up to this point.

She said that the princess of the kingdom inherited the blood of an ancient dragon, and people around her praised her as a noble being, so she understood a little.

However, as a result of listening to the whispers of her maids and the whispers of the knights, Naria realized at a young age that the relationship between herself and her father was not normal.

-Your Majesty does not consider the princess to be his daughter.

-You even tried to kill me. Ugh. Anyway, that’s true.

She learned the reason for the pity and sympathy in her gaze toward her her noble her being her her her, the princess.

-Just because she gave birth she doesn’t mean she’s a girl. She was Charlotte’s daughter. She should have been carrying it by now

She realized why her father’s gaze was so cold towards her.

Through the eyes of the Grand Duke of Winchester looking at Queen Carmen and the relationship between her two fathers and daughters, who spoke affectionately while she was asleep, Naria came to realize her strangeness of her.

And she knew.

Those are not the eyes looking at her daughter.

Her eyes looked as if she was looking at a tool, not the daughter that people commonly refer to.

Why a tool?

Naria remembers.

Was she 1 year old?

At a time when she was just starting to walk.

What the king said when he approached with an unpleasant smell.

She didn’t know at first.

Before she learned language, all she could hear was strange sounds, and she couldn’t even hear them properly.

-Naria □□□□…

I was 5 years old when I realized that the unpleasant smell was the smell of alcohol emitted by drunkards.

When I was 10, I secretly combined and analyzed the words corresponding to the sounds at that time.

-You are my spare.

I didn’t know what the word ‘spare’ was, but I learned it when I was 13.

When half of the head was cut off.

If it hadn’t been for the wizards’ emergency measures, it wouldn’t have been surprising if he had died from excessive bleeding.

The first time I went to Gibraltar, asking her mother to send me to Gibraltar, following the ‘horse of Gray Gibraltar’, the first memory that came to mind, when my head was spinning because I didn’t know where to go.

Naria was able to encounter many imperial languages there.

She learned there.

What does the word spare mean?

If you think of it as a carriage, it can be called a spare wheel, and according to the terminology of imperial economics, it is a word that can be replaced by insurance or emergency fund.

Extra.

Or something else.

Even though she still doesn’t understand it at the age of 19, Naria at least gained one certainty from Gray Gibraltar’s words

Whatever it is.

Naria said that the moment she becomes an adult, she will know.

Crash.

Naria pulled the musket’s breech.

It is an imperial-style musket made by Gray Gibraltar for personal use, and has a magazine inside that can accommodate existing magic bullets made from mana and actual bullets made similar to magic bullets.

A bullet that can kill a person.

Naria quietly fiddled with her musket as she waited for time to pass.

And she recalled.

– Risking Naria Geo Nostrum’s life to catch Saint Geo Nostrum.

If Gray’s prediction is correct.

Beep.

The moment the minute and hour hands on the clock on the wall reached exactly ‘0’, Naria aimed her gun.

Ta-a-ang!

She fired her bullet at something writhing on the floor.

When the trigger was pulled towards the liquid-like gold surging, a hole was blown through something golden that resembled a human head.

It pierced her head her her her.

Until now, she has never killed anyone, but if it had been a person, she would definitely have died.

Murder.

If it were a person, she would have killed someone for the first time.

But what does it look like now-

“…!!”

The moment the golden human with a hole between the eyebrows appeared, Naria remembered the shape of that face exactly.

“Zero Barcelona?!”

The dead.

A person who is said to have already died dozens of times in addition to what Naria knows.

As that person tried to reach out from the floor stained like liquid gold to catch Naria, he was hit in the head by a bullet.

“As expected.”

“…!!”

Naria hurriedly pointed her gun back at the creepy, familiar voice that came from behind her.

Ka-euang!

The sound of iron hitting iron.

The side of the muzzle of her musket struck her claws as if the golden dragon had grasped them with precision.

“As expected, you are not my daughter.”

St. Geo Nostrum.

“A person who inherits the blood of Nostrum handles the weapons of the empire.”

“This…!”

“It would be nice to talk leisurely, but you aren’t just idiots either.”

The Saint King looked at the door and grinned.

“Slow.”

The moment Saint lightly aimed his wand at the door, someone broke in from beyond the door.

“Gray-“

Gray Gibraltar, who broke through the door, or rather ‘cut’it, was holding an Auror blade in his hand.

Something that can sharply cut not only gold but also people.

“I’m sorry!”

Saint Geo pressed Naria with those words.

Fa—ah.

The moment she thought the Auror Blade was heading behind her, Naria’s vision of her was colored with golden light.

And the moment she opened her eyes, Naria saw.

“What is this…?”

A space shining with gold.

It was structured like an ancient temple, but everything was shining with gold.

“Welcome, Naria Gibraltar. To the great golden temple that only Nostrum can enter.”

And behind him, Saint Geo tapped the floor with his cane and fell from Naria.

“You can’t run away. You can’t escape. This is a space where only Nostrum can enter.”

“…”

“Ah, what a pleasant day it has been. Almost 21 years since the day you were born, no, since the day my love was taken away… No, 48 years…? No, 49 years? Hehe. I don’t even remember it anymore. Military.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You won’t understand. It’s a miracle you’ve never experienced.”

Saint Geo spread his arms and smiled broadly.

“The golden dragon given only to the royal family of Nostrum, the miracle of Chronostrum! A miracle that is not given to any other human, and is passed down only to the blood of the great Nostrum, [Time Reversion]!!”＜ Br＞

“Time, retrograde…?”

“That’s right! To put it simply, you go back to the past. With all your memories. Hehe.”

St. Geo tapped his temple

“Have you ever thought of going back to the past?”

“…”

“Not yet? Yes, I guess so. But I want to go back to the past. From the moment I went back to the past, I wanted to go back to the past again.”

Saint Geo turns his back on Naria and heads somewhere.

Ta-a-ang!

Naria immediately raised her musket, aimed it at Saint Geo and pulled the trigger, but the golden wall rose beneath her became a shield, as if protecting Saint Geo.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t kill me in this space. The Golden Dragon’s protection is protecting me.”

“If that protection exists based on Nostrum’s blood.”

Even though Naria failed once, she put her hand on the trigger again.

“I am also a nostrum.”

“Now they don’t even show respect.”

“Because I’m not that stupid either.”

“Hehe, really?”

“Why did you call me Naria…’Gibraltar’?”

Saint Geo’s eyes are bent like half moons.

The corner of her mouth touches the tip of her ear, and she continues fiddling with her wand and grinning.

“Well, because you are not my daughter.”

“Time retrograde. Naria Gibraltar. And the dreams the people experienced through gold. That…”

“That’s right. I…Winded time.”

When Saint Geo tapped the huge pillar with his staff, the outside of the pillar immediately began to sparkle with golden light.

“That is…”

“The miracle of time reversal created by our great guardian dragon, the Golden Dragon Chronostrum. It is an artifact that causes great magic.”

The inside of the pillar, which had begun to become transparent so that the inside could be seen, was concave in the middle, and something like golden sand was flowing down from within.

“When I first saw this, I called it the ‘Golden Watch.'”

“…”

“You’ve never seen it before.”

Saint Geo placed his hand on the golden watch.

“Nostrum does not fail. If it fails, all you have to do is turn back this golden watch. Even if it fails, there is a next chance. That’s right, a spare. You are my next chance.”

“…”

“It looks like you still don’t understand the face. Could you explain? Since you have become an adult, you are now qualified to unleash the power of this golden watch.”

Saint Geo grinned and tapped the golden dragon that was clinging to the golden watch with his staff.

“Now, declare. I will hand over the miracle of the great golden dragon to Saint Geo Nostrum.”

“…Why?”

“Why?”

“Why should I do that?”

Ta-ang.

“Why me?”

“Ha. Isn’t that natural?”

The magic bullet flew towards Saint Geo’s face his, but the gold immediately wrapped itself around him as if protecting him.

“I gave you birth, so wouldn’t it be right for you to sacrifice yourself for me?”

“What… ?”

“He made me born as Naria Geo Nostrum, not Naria Gibraltar, and allowed me to live a full life as a princess of the kingdom. Isn’t that enough?”

“What are you saying now…?”

“Why are you asking the obvious?”

Saint Geo pointed at himself and Naria alternately as if he couldn’t understand.

“You are a tool. You are not a child born of love, but a tool of mine that was created for this moment from the moment you were born.”

“…”

“Ah. Do you think you can endure it? Hehe. If that’s the case, don’t worry. As a result of my travels throughout Nostrum, looking for ancient ruins and the graves of the ancestors who turned the golden watch, I will give you the watch even if you don’t want it. You can get permission to run it.”

St. Geo bit his hand lightly and rubbed his blood on the hourglass.

“Ten years ago, on the day I barely managed to get Charlotte, I ended up failing again. But it’s okay. If you think about it, the current Charlotte is a woman who has given birth to three children. She’s not a virgin, so it’s unfortunate, but it’s not worth risking her life for her. .”

“…”

“But the Charlotte of 20 years ago, the Charlotte before she married that b*stard Crimson, is different. When she first entered the academy, she was a virgin who knew nothing about men. That beginning… I will take it this time. “

Gooo.

The hourglass slowly began to emit light.

“The great golden dragon. Chronostrum, the guardian who looks over Nostrum. The king of our time, Saint Geo Nostrum, begs you.”

As if performing his ritual his, Saint Geonostrum held his staff with both hands and raised it high to the sky.

“A powerful person who can protect this land from the Nostrum crisis, a person who possesses the [Dragon Treasure] That you left throughout this land, and a person who has already had the experience of turning back time, a chance for this Saint Geo Nostrum! !”

“…!!”

A golden chain erupted from below, instantly wrapping around Naria.

“A being made of nostrum, bring to me the miracle of time reversal possessed by Naria Gibraltar!”

The light sparkles, and a chain wraps around Naria’s neck

“Great, Chronostrum—!!”

The moment when Saint Geo Nostrum grabbed the end of his staff and swung it towards the hourglass as if hitting it.

Tick, tick.

The sound began to resonate like a clockwork.

“Oh, oh…!! This is it, that’s right! The miracle from back then is now back to me…!!”

The golden dragon holding the hourglass moves like a mechanical device, slowly raising its arms and raising its body to turn the hourglass over.

“Once again, back to that day…! Back to my childhood, when I was 10 years old!! Haha—-!!”

The moment when Saint Geo exploded with sparkling red eyes.

Push ㅡㅡㅡi.

The golden dragon hugged the hourglass again, as if his excitement had waned.

“…Huh?”

Like St. Geo Nostrum blowing out empty air.

“Why can’t this work?”

With a blank face, I could only stare in vain at the hourglass.

“Huh, huh? Why, why can’t it work? It’s supposed to work? If it’s like this, it’s just going to work, right?”

“What a fool.”

“…Huh?”

Suddenly.

“What I saw after waiting for three days was all the bullshit and bullshit of an idiot.”

The golden chain was cut by a red trail, and a man appeared behind Naria and embraced her.

“Naria. How much time has passed outside?”

“…3 seconds, about.”

“One day per second? Gray guy, you said time wouldn’t pass at all. You were vaguely wrong. Hehe.”

“…Crimson Gibraltar?”

Crimson Gibraltar, who stood guard over Naria, had a red beard, which was not his usual style.

“Why are you coming out here…?”

“Why?”

Crimson Gibraltar extended his sword forward.

“I came to say my last goodbye to you.”

Shining blood-stained aura.

“Die, you incompetent one.”
