CH 147

Chapter 147

As a result of Philina’s performance, the dragon was killed.

He was a mass of divine power. As if to prove this, the huge body turned to pure white and disappeared, leaving only a blue crystal stone and a beautiful flower.

The flower of the Holy Spirit.

When humans eat it, it is said that life and death can go back and forth, and it was a flower that stood at the crossroads of death.

It must have been the material Huey was looking for.

Later, he will fall into Cecilia’s hands and prepare for his fate at any time.

Pilina healed the wound from the dragon’s tail with her divine powers without difficulty.

Huey traveled to the tower through space-moving magic. It was to keep the flower of the Holy Spirit.

In fact, Huey’s purpose was to do that, so he didn’t think he would ever return to the Swordsmanship Academy, but he came to Philina’s room as if it were a matter of course.

“What are you here for?”

Standing with her back in front of the door, she looked up at Huey stiffly, and asked grumpily: Then Huey cried, as if he were hurt.

“Well, I can’t wait to see you . . .”

Perhaps he was talking about returning to where he came from. But she didn’t let go of her crooked expression.

Filina snorted in bewilderment.

“You’re here because of me? But you have good timing, too.”

“Huh? Why?”

Huey asked, blinking innocently, and she frowned.

“How come you come back from the Swordsmanship Academy when the investigation is over? Are you sure you’ve just returned from the horse tower? Aren’t you hiding somewhere and confirming that the investigation is over, and now you’re coming to me?”

“Aw, that’s some nonsense. Do you think I’m such a mean-spirited bastard?”

“yes, you’re mean.”

At the sound of Filina’s firm voice, he quietly closed his mouth. Then, subtly averting his gaze, he turned away.

“But the academy instructors are also very funny. They couldn’t handle it, they took care of what they had left unattended, and I dare to call someone to investigate.”

Filina crossed her arms and pursed her lips to look at him. Huey glanced at Philina and lightly touched the blue necklace around her neck.

“It’s a dragon crystal stone, isn’t it? It’s a very peculiar color.”

Again, Filina didn’t respond. Huey smiled awkwardly and then slipped toward her room.

Then Filina quickly stopped him.

“Hey, I’m going to get in somewhere.”

Huey blurted his frown at her low voice.

“So let’s keep standing here and talking? My legs hurt, Philina.”

He made a ridiculous excuse and looked at Huey, who had a pitiful expression, as if pathetically.

Inevitably, Philina stepped back slightly, and he went inside as if he had been waiting.

“Wow, why is it so good here?”

Huey looked around the dorm room admiringly. Then, naturally, I sat down on the bed that Bessie had been using. He asked, staring at Philina with shrew-eyed eyes.

“Shall I move into this room?”

“Turn it off.”

At her slap in the face, Huey shook his shoulders and laughed in amusement. Filina let out a small sigh as she pressed her hips against her bed.

Looking at her, Huey asked.

“Why are you so powerless? I kept my promise to Lee or something, and now all that’s left to do is go back to where you lived.”

Then Huey asked, leaning his upper body forward and resting his chin on both hands.

“Why? You don’t want to break up with me, do you?”

“…… What’s going on?”

Philina murmured in bewilderment, and he pursed his lips.

“You’re breaking up with me, and you really don’t regret anything. I’m very sorry.”

In the midst of Huey’s troubled voice, she only smiled slightly. He stared at Pilina silently, then tilted his head at an angle.

“Is it because of Lord Argeni?”

Huey’s voice was muffled, and she looked at him in silence.

Then Huey pulled his lips apart once more.

“You still haven’t woken up? He said he wasn’t feeling well even before he was hit by the dragon.”

Filina lowered her gaze without answering anything.

A faint sigh leaked out.

While Huey was out of the swordsmanship academy, Filina was called to the interrogation room alone and had to write an inspector’s report.

Belatedly, Weaver was released after writing only a letter of investigation to see if he had ordered them to go through the formalities, but he was heavy because he had been tied up in the interrogation room all day.

But Filina headed straight to the infirmary. It was none other than Henry.

The military academy separately called a doctor from an outside medical institution, and the infirmary controlled outsiders. Then, after a while, they allowed him in, and Henry was in a deep sleep in his bed.

He said that he was in a very bad state and was even attacked by a dragon and was in pretty bad condition.

She was not in danger because she was bleeding immediately, but the fever did not subside. That’s why she came to the infirmary.

Once again, Philina imbued Henry with a faint divine power.

The benevolent force easily improved his condition, but it did not succeed in awakening Henry.

It was up to Henry Argeni himself.

His white skin was as pale as a dead man.

Filina looked into his face without saying a word. Then, when the instructor told me to go back to my dorm, I came to my senses and turned around.

After that, Filina passed the time in a daze.

I have to go back to where I used to live as soon as possible for the ending of “Philina Debussy”, but I couldn’t.

The news of the dragon appearing at the Swordsmanship Academy and Philina, who killed him, seemed to spread throughout the Alvar Empire, sending gifts even from the imperial palace.

It was said that it was a gift chosen by Her Majesty the Empress herself.

I don’t know how it was delivered to the outside world, but each gift came to Philina and Huey.

And there was one more.

It was none other than Henry’s gift.

Apparently, the rumors were inflated. Henry simply jumped into the dragon to save himself, but didn’t engage in a direct fight.

I didn’t have the spirit to do that.

Henry wasn’t in very good shape.

But the way he jumped into the dragon would have been heroic enough for an outsider.

And rumors are bound to be inflated.

Philina was given an expensive sword, and Huey was able to obtain a great deal of magic material.

He was quite pleased with Her Majesty’s gift. He smiled with great joy that he wouldn’t have to go around looking for magic materials for a while.

Henry’s gift was also a sword.

It was a very familiar form of object.

As it turned out, it was a gift as a reward for his tremendous performance in the Cohen Wars in which he and Ian participated.

The sharp edge of the blade drew a crane-shaped pattern that would have been engraved in the name of Her Majesty the Empress.

It was also the sword that was used when Philina died in her third life.

It showed that the course of the story didn’t matter.

It just needs to be the same.

In other words, he only needed the last scene to return to where he came from.

At Ian’s command, he had to enter the prison in the imperial palace.

There was no time. The world would always try to kill him, so he had to meet the end as soon as possible.

“…….”

However, something stuck in my mind.

Even though I knew I didn’t have time, I lost my strength.

That’s what I wanted to do, but I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t motivated.

She lowered her head and bit her bottom lip.

Huey, who had been staring at Pilina intently, asked in a light voice.

“So, when are you going back?”

She looked up to face Huey. His red eyes were shaking as to what was so unsettling.

Huey didn’t urge, but waited for Philina’s answer.

She lowered her head again.

Through the silence flowed the faint voice of Philina.

“…… When Henry wakes up.”

A helpless voice cracked apart.

She said nothing more.

***

From the morning onwards, Filina visited the gardens of the imperial palace without fail.

However, it was only two empty chairs that greeted her.

Ian hasn’t been seen for a while. As a result, Filina had to spend her boring time alone.

The atmosphere in the imperial court was not pleasant. Maybe that’s why Ian doesn’t show up in front of her.

After the crushing defeat in the Cohen War, his stature hit rock bottom.

However, because of the rumors that spread throughout the Alvar Empire, people doubted whether Ian was worthy of the position of emperor.

But when the defeat of the Cohen War was added, the mood of the empire became even more tumultuous.

There is probably only one way to calm this.

Rushing his engagement to Cecilia.

Only then will the tumultuous atmosphere of the Alvar Empire change, and he will be able to take over the throne as soon as possible.

Philina’s eyes sank dryly.

When the story went wrong because of me, the world must have been nervous. That’s why everything flows so fast.

Just seeing the ending of the main characters would be the final purpose of the original story.

“Debussy, it’s been a long time.”

Philina, who had been lost in thought, looked ahead at the sudden sound of a voice.

It was none other than Hestia, smiling at her with a happy expression.

Filina hurriedly stood up.

“I see you, Princess.”

Nodding at her greeting, Hestia looked at the empty seat.

“Apparently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with his affairs and will not be able to sit down, but if you don’t mind Debussy, may I speak for you?”

“Absolutely. It’s an honor for me.”

At Philina’s answer, she smiled a little and sat down.

Just as she hadn’t seen Ian in a while, she hadn’t seen Hestia in a long time. As the imperial mood subsided, there was also a faint shadow on her face.

“You don’t look good.”

At the sound of Philina’s low voice, Hestia ran a hand through her hair with a tired-looking face.

“I’ve had a hard time keeping up with Her Majesty’s mood since morning. As Debussy knows, the atmosphere in the Alvar Empire these days is so sublime that he is very sensitive.”

“…… Is that why His Royal Highness can’t come here?”

Hestia, who had rested her chin on her hand with a sad face at Philina’s words, suddenly looked somewhere and slowly pulled her lips away.

“Ian is busy getting ready for the engagement ceremony these days.”

Following Hestia’s gaze, he saw Cecilia hurriedly walking behind the people of the imperial palace.

Her face was tense. He seemed to be going to meet someone who was probably in a very high position.

For example, His Majesty the Emperor.

Philina’s gaze sank dryly.

Apparently, their engagement ceremony was going to take place soon.

Cecilia would not dare to refuse His Majesty’s command.

The original advanced the whole story. After all, it meant that Philina Debussy’s death was not far off.

Or maybe they will do everything in their power to get rid of the obstruction.

Just like you killed me through Henry in a previous life…….

A twisted smile slipped between her lips.

No way, I wonder if I’ll be so easy again.

Philina’s red iris stared at Hestia in front of her.
