My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 180

Operation to Escape from the Demon Castle (2)

Sianna was in charge of overseeing the residential area within the Immortal Castle, but she did not completely abandon her status as an imperial noble.

In fact, swallowing up the Korean and American noble families was just a means to facilitate access to higher-ranking positions, so it was true that there was no need to be obsessed with status now that one was part of the immortal army.

But wouldn’t it be a waste to just throw away something you’ve worked so hard on?

Fortunately, her master, the Immortal King Hans, seemed to have decided that it still had value and allowed Siana to visit the family periodically.

And the few moments she was given were like a vacation where she could escape this stuffy and musty space and enjoy a noble life again.

“Hmm hmmm~♪”

The fact that I hummed a song that day was not particularly strange, it was a natural thing.

‘As soon as I get there, I’ll have to treat myself to some top-quality black tea and cake. Next, enjoy luxury while shopping. Money has no meaning anymore, so let’s spend it generously instead of saving it. First, start by filling up your shoe collection that you may have missed….’

Sianna walks through the gloomy castle grounds with lively steps, organizing in her head all the things she has to do when she leaves.

As she was taking one last look around the jurisdictional area in case she would be away for a while before heading to the moving magic circle that the Immortal King had personally set up, she

came across an undead with an unusual appearance in the restaurant of her residence.

“Oh my god Andrew? “Is that really you, Andrew?”

“ah? Hahaha…. It’s been a while, sister.”

No… when I looked closely, I saw that it was not an undead person, but a person, Andrew Weaver, an awakened person from Earth who had been brought here with her.

A haggard complexion whose original appearance is unrecognizable, hair that has never been washed, thick dark circles on the eyelids, and unfocused, blurry eyes.

He, who was mechanically scooping food into his mouth to survive, turned his head blankly at the sound of Siana’s voice and looked at her.

“…Looking at you like that, I guess there’s no point in asking if you’re okay. “No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look good.”

“Ahaha… Ah, it feels good to see a familiar face after a long time. “I haven’t seen you so much lately, so I thought you’d already forgotten about me.”

“Hmm, you know that it can’t be helped, right? “But I did give Olivia a hint the other day…”

Even though his voice was weak, his words had a bone to them, and she glanced away.

To be honest, it was true that I remembered it a while ago and thought about going there, but then quickly forgot about it again.

‘Well, there’s nothing we can do about what happened in the past. And if you think about it, I didn’t really do anything wrong, right?’

Of course, as expected from a demon tribe, her regret did not last long.

If you think about it, it was a superior-subordinate relationship from the beginning, and now it’s just a motive for enlistment, so why is there such a thing as taking care of it like this?

“But is the work very difficult? “I thought you could do it reasonably well.”

It’s not noticeable when using your abilities, so you can just sit there with your eyes closed and take it easy.

I couldn’t understand why he, who was lazy by nature, was being overworked like that in a job that wasn’t primarily physical labor.

“…It’s not that I haven’t tried that too. That woman caught it like a ghost again. “You can tell just by looking at my body’s biological reactions…”

“Oh indeed.”

Detect vitality, which is the basic ability of undead.

Certainly, for someone of Olivia’s caliber, it would not have been a problem to use it to determine the person’s condition.

He was also literally a real ghost.

“After it happened a few times… it even became a quota. If I couldn’t fill it, I couldn’t go back to my accommodation! “To not be able to rest properly in an environment overflowing with undead and dark magic makes you no better than the devil!”

The more he thought about it, the louder his voice became as he spoke weakly, as if he was exasperated.

And with those words, the mood of Siana, the real devil, also worsened.

To devils, being called devilish is nothing short of a compliment, but using it like an insult like that is another problem.

“Yes yes. I’m glad I still have some energy left. But do you have time to talk like that now? “It would be better to finish eating quickly and get some sleep.”

“Ugh! That’s right. I got so excited without even realizing it, so I stopped. “No, but my sister spoke first…”

After whining at her rebuke, he sat down again and started shoving food into his mouth.

Sianna, who watched this for a moment, lightly shrugged her shoulders and turned around to inspect the area again.

First of all, since it’s been a while since I said goodbye, I plan to quickly finish my work and leave this awful place.

Because she was so anxious, she didn’t notice Andrew’s suspicious appearance while he was still in the restaurant.

“Whoa—.”

For a moment, he stared at Siana’s back with a look of relief and regret, but then he turned his head with a short sigh.

‘It’s been hard to see you on a regular basis, so this will be the last time I see you with Siana. It’s a bit unfortunate that the breakup is like this… but it can’t be helped.’

It’s been over 9 years since I was transferred to Outerica.

With his return finally imminent, he aggressively continued eating to survive the remaining time.

‘Now… it’s really not that long now. ‘You just have to hold on a little longer.’

Just dreaming of escaping from this hell.

***

Immortal second living quarters with limited contact with the outside world.

“…is it today?”

“Today.”

There, Princess Riley, who was concentrating on magical training as usual, and Hesperon had a quiet conversation.

Finally, the moment she had longed for had come.

The day when we will escape from the clutches of the Immortal King and regain our freedom.

“The situation is not bad at the moment. “The fact that the woman named Lilith who was watching us is away means that the possibility of immediately noticing anomalies and responding is reduced.”

It was only yesterday that she left behind a lot of food, saying that she would not be able to come for a while and telling me to take care of my own meals.

Originally, it would have been impossible to reveal such information to prisoners, but as this was not an ordinary prison, it was not a big problem.

However, there was one unexpected problem…

“Still, I felt at ease because I hadn’t seen that face for a while. “This is a bit disappointing.”

“What are you whispering like that? Riley? You look very carefree. It looks like you’ve been living quite comfortably, eating the food they give you? “Like livestock.”

The crown prince, who had been unable to leave the house for so long, was now free.

Prince Simon Carte Azerion, who was initially imprisoned here by Andrew and later became Siana’s plaything.

Even when he was alone due to constant bullying, his daily routine was to stay in his dorm and soothe his tired body, but since yesterday, he seemed to have regained his stamina to the point where he was able to go out like this even after resting all day.

‘I guess it’s because I grew up eating a lot of good things. Your stamina is amazing.’

Moreover, he had a well-trained body as a knight, so it was not something that could not be understood at all.

Of course, Sianna only liked it more when she saw it, saying it was sturdy.

“Oh, aren’t you my brother? Have you finished all your laundry and cleaning today? If you forget even for a day, you might get scolded later, right? “There was a lack of obedience training.”

“Ugh! you you…!”

He started an argument for no reason and got stabbed in a painful corner, so he gaped with a red face.

There was no way he could win by arguing in the first place, so I couldn’t understand why he started the fight in the first place.

“…under! They get along well together. I can’t believe I’m hanging out with an unknown bastard like that. After all, people of low blood can’t be deceived, right?”

In the end, he quietly dragged Hesperon next to him and crushed her entire maternal family.

This time Riley’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.

Although her maternal family was clearly an aristocratic family, it had the disadvantage of being from a merchant family with a short history.

Since her maternal grandmother also married into a wealthy merchant family, she was bound to become a frequent subject of criticism by conservative forces led by the Crown Prince.

The moment she opened her mouth again and tried to fight back.

“Wow.”

Hesperon, who had been watching quietly from the side, scratched the back of his head and slowly stepped in front of her.

‘No matter what, Padrip crossed the line.’

Besides, if you think about it, didn’t he mean lowly blood, including himself?

He was born with honor and grew up well as an only child, but this was an abusive remark that could not be tolerated.

“It’s truly awe-inspiring how a person called the crown prince speaks to his younger brother. “Isn’t it absurd to see people criticizing dignity?”

“…What? What about you? “How dare you intervene here?”

You started the fight first, so why are you getting involved now?

Isn’t this a scene where you can clearly feel his self-centered way of thinking?

It seemed that the training so far had not been very effective.

‘I need to say something to Sianna. I think it’s too much to say that it’s my favorite toy.’

He must have been suffering every day for over a month, but looking at his still dejected attitude, it seemed like his ego was quite high.

In order to completely obey someone like that, constant attention and management is needed.

“Of course I have to say something to the owner about this. Because of lack of education, the animals raised like this run out and point out their teeth at anyone, right? “It seems like the trainer’s skills aren’t that good.”

Snap—!

“…Heron?”

A bloody sound rang out from Simon’s teeth as even seemingly insignificant lower-class people mocked him.

Riley also looked worried.

It was an everyday occurrence for her as a member of the same royal family, but she could see what would happen when someone who judged the prince to be inferior due to his strong personality insulted him.

Moreover, the monitor who was supposed to control the situation was currently away…

“Huh—yeah. At this point, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to show the truth. Even so, I’ve been quite annoyed these days. … If you don’t kill them, they won’t say much.”

His subsequent reaction was just as she expected.

“Wait. Are you thinking of using force here and now…!”

She hurriedly tried to resolve the situation, but in fact, Simon, who was so stressed out, had no patience left.

The reason I came out like this in a bad shape in the first place was to somehow vent that anger that was about to explode, so this could be said to be a good excuse.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

was washing HIS AURORS that rose up without hesitation as if he had made a decision and instantly strengthened his body and sharpened his dull fighting senses.

Like Riley, he had only devoted a short amount of time to training, but his age in his late twenties and his considerable talent were enough to make him a knight.

“Hehehe—let’s see if he’s as good as that snout.”

At least the two people who had just graduated from being beginner wizards were not opponents they could face.

Even if he is not in normal condition right now.

And Prince Simon, who once again grasped the opponent’s state with a sharper sense of humor, also knew this fact very well.

You can never stop yourself at their level!

“Heron! first…!”

He cut Riley off as he opened his mouth to say something urgently.

Quaaaang!

“I’ll make you crawl on the floor! “You mean thing!”

With his face distorted, he kicked the ground and attacked Hesperon.

A fist stretching out through the wind as if to crush the opponent’s face.

And he…
