Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 237
Chapter 237
The wizards were putting all their effort into stopping Grand Duke Valentine.
Above all, nothing would change even if Sabina returned to the castle.
Even though Grand Prince Valentine is currently away, he has taken the Black Falcons with him as an entourage. There might be a need for at least one more person who can stop the Grand Duke.
Still, they can somehow try to block it until the Grand Prince comes.
However.
“……Damn.”
She couldn’t make her legs move at all.
Sabina recalled Dana’s sweet smile. Who told her to have a nice dream.
Not only has it become a nightmare, but if it’s the last…….
‘If I go back, I may never have another chance to escape.’
Even while she thought so, Sabina was already running.
She knew that the Grand Prince would return soon after hearing the news.
But what if someone lost their life in a short period of time where Sabina or the Grand Prince is not there?
It wasn’t just Dana. There were many people in the Great Duke’s castle who did not fit the notoriety of Valentine.
‘Is there a worse idiot in the world.’
What she got, is a chance at best.
Sabina ran down the slope, her breath panting.
She was thinking about how far the wolf had put her down. She kept running and running yet she didn’t feel like she was getting closer.
As she took a deep breath and raised her head, she saw the annex engulfed in a huge flame when she looked up close.
The old castle, with its walls collapsing and turning black, looked like the remains of a meteorite site.
And standing at the center of the explosion was Grand Duke Valentine…….
It was as if he was submerged in a red sea of fire and blood. The scene she saw for real was more horrifying than she had imagined, it didn’t feel real.
“Damn it, stop him somehow!”
Sabina heard someone shouting.
“The Grand Duke must never be allowed to leave the castle!”
“But Gerald, there is a limit to how much we can maintain our defensive magic! We’re running out of magic stones!”
“Bring the diamont too! It’s gotten to this point, so there’s nothing we can do. I’m sure even the Grand Prince will tolerate it!”
Of course, the Grand Prince will condone their arbitrary use of diamont, Valentine’s asset, but he will never overlook their incompetence that led to the barrier getting destroyed.
The wizard Gerald, who knew that fact better than anyone else, shed tears of blood inside.
At that time, a boy who was far away muttered.
“If Brother Carlin was here….”
“Don’t even mention that guy! Are you still in contact with that incorrigible person?”
The boy was surprised by Gerald’s unnecessarily good hearing and answered in a confused voice.
“Master, is that the problem now?”
“For you to keep in touch with that guy! I’ve repeatedly told you to treat this guy who betrayed humanity and faith, as if he’s dead….”
Kuakuakwaaaang-!!
It was the second explosion.
The huge defensive wall surrounding the annex in the shape of a semicircular was helplessly broken.
At the same time, several wizards turned pale, broke into a cold sweat, bent over, and spat out blood.
“Cough!”
“Master!”
The boy ran towards Gerald, who staggered in surprise.
Yannick, the Archwizard’s direct disciple, had never seen his master suffer so helplessly.
‘How…….’
The boy looked towards the annex with trembling eyes.
The Grand Duke looked fine even after putting several wizards out of combat.
‘He’s even empty handed.’
He didn’t carry a single weapon that could pose a threat, let alone a sword.
Yannick, who thought that Valentine’s blood was expressing its abilities through the sword, was taken aback.
Just like a wizard uses magic with a staff or a sword master fires sword energy with a sword.
‘Did they just carry around the sword as a form!’
While the boy was having an enlightened moment, Gerald coughed up more blood and immediately used his defensive magic again.
“You can’t stop him forever just by defending!”
“You punk. So you’re saying we should attack the Grand Duke?!”
“Even if we attack, we can’t stop him! The best chance of survival is to abandon the castle and run away!”
At that time, several people who saw Sabina swallowed their breath with surprised faces and came to her in horror.
“My God, why on earth did you come out all the way here? It’s dangerous here. Hurry and get out of here.”
“What are you doing? Why don’t you hurry and take Madam to a safe place!”
Among them were wizards, knights, and servants. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but some were familiar.
“Sir Bart.”
Sabina called the blonde knight’s name.
“Bring me the most free wizard to explain the situation. The situation is serious, so bring someone who can step away for a while.”
In short, her words meant to bring in a subordinate or an assistant. Sabina has not yet been directly introduced to wizards.
“Did you not hear what I just said? It’s life-threatening, so hurry up and lea…”
“It is up to me to decide whether to leave or not. In this situation where the Grand Duke is rampaging and the Grand Prince is away, who should you listen to?”
Sir Bart was silent, but then answered a second later.
“The Grand Princess.”
She liked neither Madam nor the Grand Princess title, but that was not the problem now.
Now that she had given up on her escape and came here, Sabina had to resolve this situation no matter what.
Because if she doesn’t, she’ll want to kill herself for not running away.
“He, hey? Wait a minute!”
Bart obediently followed Sabina’s orders and brought the Archmage’s assistant with him.
Yannick was the youngest here.
Sabina asked bluntly.
“Are you free?”
“Do you see that?”
The young boy who was dragged into the imminent situation let out a huff.
“Then let me ask you. Even if the opponent is a Valentine, you are wizards from the imperial palace. Why are you so helpless?”
The wizard’s assistant hesitated for a moment after hearing Sabina’s words.
At that moment.
She doesn’t know what he was thinking, but a strange look suddenly appeared in the boy’s eyes.
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the curse passed down from generation to generation on Valentine.”
“Of course.”
“Then I’ll be quick.”
He glanced toward the annex in anxiety, and then added without delay.
“That is the devil’s malice.”
“The devil’s malice….”
“It’s not the power borrowed from the devil, but the devil’s malice itself.”
Sabina couldn’t understand exactly what that meant.
