BXBX NOVEL 48 - Art. 48. Poke A Snake In The Bush
"What is wrong with that prisoner?
I ask the guard point-blank.
"Yes, that\'s the nobleman. He\'s been delirious for quite some time now, and the sorcerer has been casting restorative spells on him all day long.
The extra heal itself consumes a lot of magic power, but on the other hand, if you keep applying extra heals all day long, even if you are cut down by a "demon cutter", you will survive, right?
"You\'re going to cast a recovery spell? Hey, She-Ra."
I can do the restorative magic for you. Thank you.
Princess Stupid Cat tries to get to Cearius, but is stopped by the guards.
"Why? I\'m just trying to help you with your recovery spell! Why should I be stopped?
"That\'s right! We\'re trying to give you mercy! Why don\'t you just take it! They really are a bunch of idiots."
The two of them struggle with the guards. Just when I thought I was going to beat him up anyway, Cearius stood up.
"Noooooo ！！！！"
He grabs the robed sorcerer by the neck in one fell swoop. He snaps the sorcerer\'s neck.
"Your Highness! Please calm down!!!!"
A guard approaches Cearius\' cell in a panic.
"Gaaaaaaaaaah!
The sorcerer had not locked the door, and Cearius burst out of his cell. He quickly pulled out the sword from the soldier\'s waist and plunged it into the soldier\'s chest.
"！！！！！"
The soldier falls to his knees, his voice muffled. I cast a wind spell at Cearius. At that moment, Cearius slices through the wind magic, and loses my wind magic.
"Hyah! Your Highness! Kill me! Kill him!"
I look closely and see Bisto Zai in the jail next to Cearius. He is screaming with one of his missing hands pressed against the prison. He, too, is completely blind.
"Kill him! Roll, gah!"
Without hesitation, Cearius plunged his sword through the bars to Zai\'s throat. Zai\'s body collapses like a puppet with broken strings. He gets into a scuffle with the other soldiers who have heard the commotion, but Cearius cuts them down in an instant.
"Stop, you! I will not tolerate such violence in the presence of the brave!"
The idiot prince shouts at Cearius. The color of the eyes of Cearius, who turns his head to look at the fool prince, is strange. His eyes are dark. At that moment, Cearius moves. He comes towards us at a completely different speed than he has ever moved before. I was a little caught off guard.
In an instant, Cearius is close to the fool prince and he swings his sword down.
"Master Willis!"
Amalia the she-cat was cut down defending Willis.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
The idiot princes are sitting on their haunches. There\'s blood everywhere. I fire a fireball at this homicidal maniac. But Cearius cuts through it with his sword...he resisted my lvl 3 fire magic!
"Gaaaah, haaaaah, don\'t die... don\'t die..."
He is moaning as if he is going to spit it out. There\'s something wrong with Cearius. I use my appraisal skills to check his skills.

The "curse" level has been increased. This is why he is labeled as a demon. The overall skill level has increased.
It\'s a little narrow, but I\'m going to fire a windcutter. But Cearius ducks it with his sword. He turns his back on us and runs away.
"Stupid cats! You guys are stuck here!"
I go after Cearius.
When I came out of the basement, I saw Cearius surrounded by soldiers guarding him, swinging his sword at them. I quickly trap Cearius in a ward and deprive him of his actions. Then the soldiers fold in on top of him and seize him.
Cearius is being led away by the soldiers. He will probably die a mad death soon.
We go down to the basement to protect the stupid cats. We can\'t keep them in jail, so they are taken to the palace. Amalia, who was cut down while defending the idiot prince, has already expired. Attempts were made to revive her with an Ultimed heel, but she had been cut from the top of her brain to her back, and her brain was too damaged to be revived. Others had also been stabbed through the heart and could not be revived.
I took Amalia in my arms and carried her to the room where the stupid cats were housed.
The cats were very depressed. When I entered the room with Amalia in my arms, the princess approached her and said
"Amalia! Amalia! Wake up! I beg you, wake up!
"Is there no one who can bring Amalia back to life? Heedata Empire, right? Aren\'t there sorcerers who can resuscitate people? Hey! You\'d better call the sorcerer, quick!"
The idiot prince is pleading hard.
"Amalia has been cut from the brain. She can\'t be revived if her brain is this damaged.
"You don\'t know what you\'re talking about! Look! Amalia is unharmed! Don\'t lie to me!"
"I magically sealed Amalia\'s wounds. I feel too bad for Amalia with a wound that big."
"Somebody... somebody... somebody... somebody... somebody... somebody has to get Amalia... Amalia..."
Prince Baka\'s voice became tearful. At that moment, the door opened and the Prime Minister and Princess Licorette entered the room.
"A squire has been killed? I\'m glad to hear that none of you royalty were injured.
"No, I would rather you had been cut down. You acted on your own accord and even brought others into it. You were simply trying to satisfy your own interests by taking advantage of your royalty. As a result, you lost a squire. For whom do you shed your tears? Is it really for that squire? Aren\'t you crying because you are sorry that you can\'t continue your game?"
The relentless curses of Princess Licorette fly. The Prime Minister looks as if he\'s biting a bitter bug. The idiot prince and princess glare at Princess Licourette, not bothering to wipe away their tears.
"Now, get out! The truth is that you don\'t deserve to live, but if I cut you down, you will disgrace this castle and the land of this empire. You are a plague on this land. Leave the Heedat Empire as soon as possible. We will carefully bury your dead squire with our own hands. You are not worthy even to mourn him. Linos... Take these men to the border at once."
I did as I was ordered and silently led the stupid cats out of the palace.
The wagon they had prepared for us was rather small. The food on board was also minimal. I got on the dais to pull the carriage and left the capital with Ilimo.
The three of us did not speak a word in the carriage. Well, this was partly due to the fact that Ilimo, who was pulling the carriage, was running at an unbelievable speed. The next thing they knew, it was dusk. A beautiful sunset was about to set on the horizon. Looking up at the sky, the stars are full of stars. We are almost at the border.
I stop the wagon in front of a river near the border. For the time being, I put wards on the three of them that will last for a few days.
"There\'s a village half a day\'s walk across the river. Go there first.
What should we do?
The idiot prince opens his mouth.
"Meet people and talk to them. There are many ways to live. Learn about them. Realize that you cannot live alone. You were fed by the people of your country. For nothing. But that\'s not the way it\'s supposed to be. If you don\'t do something for them, they do nothing for you. Learn that. That\'s what life is all about.
The stupid cats are silent and lying on their backs.
"Hungry? I\'ll give you this."
I handed them some o-hagi from the infinity storage.
"Remember that taste," I said.
With these words, I climbed onto Ilimo and headed home.
