Chapter 17: Witches and Destiny

Translated by SoundOfDestiny

Edited by Zil

“That was bad. ……… I thought I was going to die.”

The dark-haired man: who looked more like a boy than a man: stepped into a building that no one had entered for hundreds of years.

The boy has scars all over his body. On his arms were three scars that looked like the claw marks of a beast, indicating that he had been attacked by a demon and had fled to the ruins.

The boy closes the entrance to the ruins tightly to prevent the demons from coming in from the outside, and uses magic to light a fire.

“Light………, that’s a relief for now. Let’s stay here for a while and try…………”

This is where the boy finally noticed the presence of Neimilia.

He looked up and down the body of the beautiful witch, hanging by chains at the back of the ruins, and was often speechless.

“Oh……”

A voice leaked out of Neimilia’s mouth as if she remembered.

She had stopped thinking about the boy who had appeared so suddenly, and she didn’t know what to say to him.

The boy and the witch often look at each other under the light of the fire created by magic.

And then–

“…………”

The boy turned on his heel in silence and tried to walk out with his hand on the door of the ruins.

Realising that someone she hadn’t seen for a long time was about to leave, Neimilia shouted in panic.

“You can’t go away! Don’t go!”

A desperate cry reverberated through the stone building. Neimilia herself was most surprised to hear such a loud voice coming from her own mouth.

“I’m not going to hurt you! Don’t be afraid! Look, there’s a naked lady! She’s got beautiful tits!”

“…… No, I’m leaving because there’s a naked lady…”

The boy turns around. His eyes wander through the air without looking directly at Neimilia.

“What’s the matter? Come on, come on, I’m not scared.”

“You’re the one who’s crazy. Put some trousers on.”

Neimilia, bound by chains, was in a state of undress, and with her hands and feet bound, she was unable to hide her body.

The magical lights exposed her breasts, legs and even her more sensitive parts to the light.

The boy looks away, scratches his head, and sits down on the stone floor.

“Well, ……, that’s fine. I’m sure there’s a pack of demons out there anyway. I’m going to keep you company for a while longer.”

“Thank you, I’m so happy! You can touch my tits if you want!”

“…… Can I leave now, please?”

The boy glanced at the door with a delicate look on his face.

He wondered for a moment if he should leave after all, but then he slumped his shoulders as if he had given up.

“So, ……, what the hell are you doing? Don’t tell me, it’s not a crazy play, is it?”

“Well, in some ways it’s S&M, DV, neglectful play, but…… it’s been too long! I’ve been tied up here for a long time. For hundreds of years!”

(TL: DV-Domestic Violence)

“……I see. That’s how it is.”

The boy raised his eyebrows suspiciously but nodded in agreement. The boy was so understanding that this time it was Neimilia who tilted her head.

“You’re convinced? I think I’m saying some crazy things.”

“Well, this can happen. There’s a legendary holy sword, so there must be other strange things.”

The boy said with a faraway look in his eyes and took a brown object from his pocket. It was a smoked sheep’s meat preserve that adventurers often carried around with them.

“Mmm…… you want to eat?”

“No ……, I’d rather talk to you.”

“Hurmm…..I’m wondering why are you in such trouble……….”

The boy turned his eyes to Neimilia and saw her naked body again and panicked and fell on his face.

“Well, it’s not good for a gentleman to pry into a woman’s affairs. How about I tell you a little story about myself.”

The boy began to talk about how he had come to visit the ruins.

They had come to gather precious medicinal herbs that can only be found in this dense forest. On the way back, he encountered a herd of demons that were not supposed to appear at this time of year.

As he ran away from the monsters, he went deeper and deeper into the jungle and finally got injured.

It was at this time that he found these ruins and rushed to escape.

“These ruins must have been sealed with a spell. How did you get in?”

“The seal? I don’t know. I pressed it and it opened. That’s how I got in. That’s all.”

It is not easy to get in. If it was such an easy seal to break, someone would have visited this place much earlier.

In addition, even Neimilia did not know this, but this ruin was surrounded by a ward to keep people away, so even the adventurers of the pioneer city could not find it until now.

“ And so……that was what happened to me.”

The boy went on to tell how he had once been royalty, how he had been exiled from Royal Capital because he had been chosen to be the keeper of the Holy Sword. He went on to talk about how his family, friends and subjects had all abandoned him.

And finally: after all this time: when she heard the boy’s name, Neimilia spilled tears in her eyes.

“Hey, hey, what’s going on?”

“Nothing, nothing……”

Neimilia did not know why she was crying.

Did she see herself in the boy who was all alone?

When she heard that he was the keeper of the holy sword, did it remind her of the man who had locked her in here?

When he heard that the boy’s surname was the same as his, did he realise that the man he loved was married to another woman?

It’s not clear why, but Neimilia continued to cry until the water in her body dried up.

As he nursed her, the boy: Raidorl: wandered left and right through the ruins in a daze.

“You’ve become an emotional idiot by staying in this gloomy place. I’ll take you to my town and we’ll get the hell out of here!”

“I’m happy to ……, but my chains are……”

“Hmm, what’s wrong with the chain? Why don’t you just break it off?”

“Eh……?”

Raidorl drew his sword from his waist and broke the chains that bound Neimilia as if the chain that bound her was nothing.

A magic chain that has been unshakable for hundreds of years is easily torn apart.

“Eh…… why……?”

“Well, then, let’s get on with it…..What about the demons?”

Raidorl put his own jacket over Neimilia’s head and pondered how he could escape the demons and return to the city.

Looking at him, Neimilia was convinced as if by a revelation.

“I see. …… I should live for this man.”

She followed her mother to destroy humans and betrayed her family to fight for the ones she loved.

Only to be betrayed by the one her love and held captive for hundreds of years.

It was the only reason she could think of to find meaning in such a ridiculous and trivial life.

“I will live for this person. I will protect him. I will do his will. …… I will give my all and one day I will have his child. I’m sure that’s why I was here waiting for him.”

(TL: Yandere??)

Originally, Neimilia was a serious romantic person, prone to mistaking chance for fate.

Even after hundreds of years of imprisonment, her fundamental character remained unchanged.

One of the ‘Six Witches of Doom’, Neimilia, the Witch of Darkness, became Raidorl’s follower, and her existence would later change the fate of the Kingdom of Zain.
