Volume 2, Chapter 4 - Avdocha the Convicted, Part 1-5

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Part 1

Early in the morning, Ash put on his uniform and rushed out of the magicship Silvanus straight to school. Since he had obtained Veronica’s permission last night the guards in charge did not stop Ash. On the way there Ash didn't encounter Captain Glenn. Of course, Ash also simply did not want to meet him. By quickly running up the stairs he finally arrived at the Student’s Council’s office.

"I’m entering."

He opened the door without hesitation but just as he did so… An object, like a cannon, flew into his arms.

"Oh! ......Eco?"

Eco’s body was soft. Yesterday she probably went to stay in Rebecca's room for the night. She smelled a sweet scent. One that did not tire you of it and yet made you feel refreshed.

"Something wrong?"

Eco’s attitude made Ash feel troubled. The feeling was like that between a pet and its owner that have been separated for a long time, and it leaped at its owner when they were reunited. The thing that he doesn't understand is… Does Eco have those kind of feelings? They didn't see each other for only one night... And yet. Her personality has become so docile?

"It's annoying that you are so slow…..."

Eco buried her face in Ash’s chest and was reluctant to let go. Not only did she not let go, but there were also signs that she was hugging him a lot more tightly. The heat from her was transferring to Ash's body. If it was only just that… Then he could have let it be. Right after that thought, Eco grabbed Ash’s tie and pulled him right into the front of her face.

"S-Slow down. Wait... My neck is going to break ...!"

Ash quickly put his hand into the gap between tie and neck, which barely enabled him to breathe again. At least he was now free from the danger of suffocating. What was wrong with Eco so early in the morning? Her cheeks were bright pink and her eyes were watery. Ash was struggling but Eco continues to attack.

"Huff......"

After making that cute sound… Eco’s feet began to wrap around his leg.

Her legs in knee socks, one of them sliding in between Ash thighs. The moment her soft thigh came into contact with his crotch his whole body shivered.

"No...... My body is so hot... I can’t stand it any longer." Eco gasped.

As she kept tugging at Ash’s tie while lifting her body up.

Her half opened lips moved towards Ash’s cheek––

"Uwaa!"

Extending her tongue she gently licked Ash’s cheek. Like a dragon who wants to be spoiled by its master.

"...... Ah?"

At this moment… Ash spotted something–– from Eco's mouth there came a rose like smell.

"You...... Show me the inside!"

"Is this......alright?" Eco says after she jumps down.

The usual Eco would ignore Ash’s order. However this morning, it was now like she was a different person. Her cheeks were getting redder and she stared at Ash’s face.

Being flirted with by her eyes… Ash saw Eco actually gently lift her miniskirt.

"... Huh?" Obviously Eco was confused about what 'inside' meant.

For the moment Ash just couldn't understand what was happening right in front of him.

"You...!"

Ash almost fell backwards.

The thing clinging to Eco’s pure white skin almost caused his awareness to be swept away. That underwear, embellished with lots of lace, was designed for adults! Suddenly he came back to his senses… Ash obstinately held Eco’s hands.

"What are you doing you fool! I'm not talking about the skirt. It's what's inside your mouth!"

"Umm... I know..."

Eco with a flushed face opened her mouth halfway. Behind her pearl white teeth, a pink tongue was seen.

"So this stuff is the culprit!"

On Eco’s tongue was a piece of round candy. A strong Ansal smell went into his nostrils. Even though Ansal was harmless to humans, it brought a strong intoxicating effect to the dragons. Like alcohol was to humans… Ansal's smell brought pleasure to dragons. The problem was that Eco was only a young dragon. Even with only a small amount of Ansal the result it brought was hard to predict.

"Come on. Quickly spit it out!"

"Nn....”

Eco exhaled a mouthful of heat, and firmly grasped Ash’s tie. Even though Eco was a petite girl, her strength was still like a dragon. Ash, unable to do anything, could only let her pull him–– Eco, with Ash immobilised, and whose mouth was half-opened with her lips...

At the same time, Eco’s tongue broke past the barrier.

"...!"

The two sticky and slippery tongues entangled. The unimaginable shock made Ash’s mind go blank and transfixed in place.

"Tee hee..."

During that time of contact, the candy was rolled into Ash’s mouth. Through his mouth, Ash could still feel Eco’s body radiating from the mouth-fed candy, which was melted into half of its original volume. Ash was utterly entranced.

"You… Just now..."

His face felt so hot that it seemed as though flames were about to burst from it. Before, Ash was wholly concentrated on the mouth-fed candy. That was why it was only now that Ash found their lips tightly pressed together. Eco then slowly averted her face, revealing a devilish smile. Thinking hard of what had just happened… Wasn't that his first kiss with Eco?

"Nn....”

Suddenly, like a puppet whose strings were cut, Eco fell limp. She buried her face in Ash’s arms and fell into a deep sleep. Seems like the drunken Eco had finally fallen asleep.

"Really... She only knows how to give people headaches."

Just as Ash breathed a sigh of relief–– A new voice is heard...

"..... From the position between a human and a dragon, your behaviour just does not sound healthy."

"Uwaaa!"

Hearing a surprisingly calm voice, Ash was shocked.

- Glup!

The candy in his mouth was accidentally swallowed.

"....Rebecca! Since when have you been here?"

Rebecca leisurely crossed her arms in front of her chest, as she stood in the doorway. Her face was wearing a snappish smile.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course… When Eco ran out of the room."

"Isn't it that you were here from the beginning to end? Why did you stand on the side-lines and not come to my aid!"

"Well that scene was very exciting! Oh, Ash, by the way, that underwear Eco is wearing belongs to me."

"Yikes...!"

After hearing that, Ash cannot help but think about Eco’s exposed underwear...

Those laces flooded his whole mind, the material should be silk, right? He remembers the top has a unique gloss. It turns out that Rebecca usually wore those kind of underwear–– After getting lost in his imagination Ash returned to his senses.

"Hey! That's not the point! I would like to know why Eco’s mouth was stuffed with that candy."

"Ahh. You mean that? That is my self-prepared, personal snack. When she saw me licking it on my palm, Eco came and begged for one. When I saw her eager face… How could I heartlessly refuse? "

"Rebecca, even when you knew the Ansal herb will have a bad effect on Eco, why did you continue to let her eat it?"

"Huu? ... I do not understand what you mean by that."

Rebecca exposed a playful smile and hid inside her room.

Part 2

Rebecca looked at the faces of all those who were present.

"Then let the meeting begin. Silvia will not be present for today’s meeting... So there are only three people left?"

She was correct. Right now. The ones who are sitting around the table are Rebecca, Max and Ash, the trio. By the way… Eco was lying on the couch. The Vice President and the Secretary didn't seem like they intended to attend this morning either.

"Right... Doesn't it feel a little lonely?”

After Ash stated this Rebecca looked at him ridiculously.

"Any problem with it Ash? Are you so lonely when Silvia is not here? Is Rebecca onee-san not enough to satisfy you?"

"How could I dare to think so?!!"

Ash was too nervous to know what to do next. Max, right beside him, was also shocked but he interrupts:

"President. We don't have the time. Please don't tease Ash anymore and quickly begin the meeting."

"Hmm. You’re right. Every time I see Ash… I just want to make fun of him."

Rebecca, with a bitter smile, returns back to the topic.

"As you have heard, Princess Veronica's condolence trip is going to be held this afternoon. Actually... We must represent the academy’s students by accompanying the Princess."

Ash sensed something bad.

"The people who are going to accompany the Princess must be Max, Ash, Eco and I. This is Princess Veronica’s orders. We do not have the right to refuse."

Just like what he sensed… His bad feeling was correct.

"Princess Veronica has many enemies. If someone wants to assassinate the Princess they certainly will not miss this great opportunity. Even though there are the seven escorts who are in charge of the security, we still should not neglect precautionary measures. We, as mere Dragner's, must also be mentally prepared to be able to protect the Princess when there is danger."

"Please. May I ask ..."

Ash timidly raised his hand.

"Is there a problem Ash?"

“Rebecca-san. You're not a 'mere' but a dignified Ark-Dragner. Max, also, is an outstanding Dragner but I'm just a humble breeder.”

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you also have the famous title 'Silver Knight'?"

"... That's not the kind of title I want. Even if you give it to me for free."

"But I think that it's suitable for you. Back to the topic... The next thing is the main point."

After changing the topic… Rebecca showed a serious expression and passed the information in her hands to Ash and Max. That was commonly known as a 'Wanted Poster'. The entire sheet of paper was full of the details of the criminal’s characteristics and looks. The reward offered actually reached up to one million Eccles[1]. Compared to a normal reward this amount was excessively large.

"We received some information from a certain party that 'Avdocha the Convicted' has infiltrated Ansarivan. Everyone please be very careful."

Part 3

The Ansarivan revival operations were well underway. The noise, hustle and bustle of construction and repair sounded off in St Durham’s Square one after another;

The sound of the roaring man supervisor. The sturdy frame operator’s loud cry. The knocking sounds of the hammers. The Necromancia’s attack had happened a full two weeks ago. The Square had been razed to ruins, and yet today the revival operation was going on smoothly. Magicship Silvanus landed slowly from above the square. Right after she safely alighted from the magicship… Veronica immediately, with a loud voice, announced to the public:

"Dear countrymen! Thank you for your hard work!"

On recognizing the heroic Veronica… The scene suddenly changed into full of cheers.

"Wow. It's the Princess Veronica Her Royal Highness!"

"To even think that Her Royal Highness would actually come to a place like this..."

"That armour really looks valiant!"

Every worker stopped doing their work as they were all moved and full of tears. However, Veronica just stared at them fiercely and...

"Who allowed you to rest?! Why are you bothering with my existence. Immediately continue with your work!"

At Veronica's loud voice, even the earth would shake! Furthermore, the Asias that were brought to the construction site were also shivering.

"Yes. Princess!"

Even though all the workers were burly, self-confident and brawny, they were all now feeling particularly vulnerable and hurried to resume their own work. The sense was more like a strict supervisor who came rather than a condolence visit. Ash, standing beside Veronica, couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Rebecca, Max, Ash and Eco, the four of them followed along with the arrangements made in the meeting this early morning. They are accompanying Veronica as the student representatives.

"Hmm... There is something strange."

Eco from the start was looking around aimlessly.

Did she find out something unusual using her dragon’s intuition? If that was so, the situation they were in will be a serious one, it was most likely an enemy of Veronica.

"Eco? Is there anything suspicious?"

Ash asked Eco with a nervous voice, but she then revealed an extremely unhappy expression.

"The crepe stall is gone."

"... Hu?"

"I said, I can’t find the stall selling crepes!"

Ash was dumbstruck. What Eco liked to eat the most was none-other than the crepes sold in the stall in St Durham Square.

"You tell me... What Crepe seller will do business in this construction site?"

"Wuhu[2]...... My crepes..."

Eco was so disappointed that she showed a dejected expression and there were tears whirling in her eyes.

"Really.. I can’t stand you any longer. The owner must have moved his stall to some other part of the streets. Later we will look for it together… Alright?"

"Really?"

Once she heard this, Eco immediately smiled dazzlingly.

"...!"

Her smile was like a full blooming rose of which Ash could not help but stare at her deeply.

"Is something wrong?" Eco asked when noticing Ash's stare.

Right after Eco confusedly asked… Only then did Ash come back to his senses and, with a pumped up attitude, cleared his throat.

"Ahem. No. Nothing......"

In short. His bribery had been successful and Eco will, temporarily, quiet down. After all, he was now playing the role of Veronica’s guard with a heavy responsibility. Just in case this job was messed up by Eco, it would be hard for him to make sure that his head stays on his neck. Using crepes in exchange for the safety of his head… This price was nothing.

"Hmm. Using the strength of an Asia? A breeder who chooses to be a civil engineer is really rare."

"Y- Yes. I’m just lucky!"

At the same time Ash was trying to keep Eco calmed down, Veronica’s condolence trip was smoothly being carried out. Apart from the square, the surrounding buildings had also been damaged by the Necromancia. Which was why there were many carpenters working there right now. The carpenter Veronica was talking to seemed to be a breeder and at the side an Asia can be seen pulling a trolley. The fierce looking carpenter, due to excessive fear when facing Veronica, looked very nervous. Somehow, this scene was really amusing. Looking at that the kind of laid-back scene Ash suddenly remembered the name that Rebecca brought up at the morning meeting.

--‘Avdocha the Convicted'

According to the report; She had the blood of a Tantalos. From a young age she had been doing guerrilla activities in the mountains. Later on she spread out from the mountains and was involved in terrorist attacks across the continent. She was very famous for her anti-establishment activity. But five years ago, in the capital City of Fontaine, after Veronica’s assassination ended in failure… She was never seen again. Some reports stated that such an activist is likely to stage a comeback for Veronica. Of course, the credibility of those reports were yet to be verified but they still must be prepared for the worst. Ash gathered his nerve and whispered in Eco’s ears.

"Hey, Eco."

"... What’s the problem?"

"In case that I ran into a dangerous situation… Could you make me the Ark?"

"Well. Do you even want that kind of patch up work? I don’t mind, but there will be conditions-"

"Alright, alright, no matter how many crepes you want to eat... I’ll buy them for you."

Except for the ansal flavor crepes... Ash, in his heart, silently added just as the nearby church bell rang. That was the bell to indicate one o’clock in the afternoon.

"It is already this late...?"

Listening to the solemn bell, Silvia's face suddenly emerged in Ash's mind. The building around St Durham Square had more than one church. At this time Silvia should be complying with Veronica's command by offering her prayers in the St Valeria’s church for repentance. Just when Ash took Silvia’s feelings into account, and his mood was subsequently depressed, something happened.

Suddenly. -Boom!

The sound of an explosion was heard.

"W-What happened?"

Ash, surprised, looked toward the other end of the town square.

A thick black smoke is seen rising into the sky.

"It can’t be ...!"

The worst thought came up in Ash mind. The location where the black smoke arose were St Valeria’s clock tower. At the same time the explosion occurred, the public presently gathered in the square started screaming and the crowded site degraded into a mess. After all, only a few days ago they were subjected to the Necromancia's attack. Because of that, the present reaction of the town citizens were particularly extreme.

“-Princess please return to Silvanus.”

Glenn’s voice was heard at this time.

"You’re right." Said Veronica, as she just calmly nodded without blinking an eye.

Ash who could not help but angrily interrupt said:

"Didn't you see that church? Princess may be right inside there -"

However, Veronica coldly interruptted Ash:

"Don’t worry. From this moment, I declare that Silvanus will become the strategic headquarters of this Operation. All of you, please return together."

Even when her biological sister might be caught up in the bombing, Veronica’s calm attitude really pissed people off.

Part 4

Silvia arrived at the St Valeria’s Church under Veronica’s order and she did not even bring her maid Cosette with her. St Valeria’s statue was positioned on the altar and was one of the Twelve Apostles who served St Rosa Maria. In the denomination of Rosa Maria's bible; St Valeria was not only portrayed as a woman full of compassion, but also the protector of law. In addition to Silvia, there were also many people who patronised the church. Most of them looked like tourists though. So, those who were like Silvia––who had their own troubles––were of the minority.

“St Valeria. Please forgive my imprudent actions."

Silvia knelt in front of the altar and began to pray.

"St Valeria..."

At this time, someone else right beside Silvia was non-stop praying. That voice felt very familiar.

"Please bless me so that I will get pregnant with 'Silver Knight'-sama's child......"

"What are you praying for?!!"

"Kyaa!"

THUND. That person was so shocked by the other roaring voice that she screamed and fell backwards. Silvia carefully looked at her face.

"...I knew it was you, Jessica Valentine!"

Jessica stood up straight and stared back at Silvia.

"Oops. Look at you… You're not with the Princess? I thought you were to accompany Princess Veronica for her condolence trip today."

"Err... Sorry to tell you that I did not accompany her!"

"Y-You. What are you getting angry about?"

"Give me a break! That is not the point… How come you're here?"

Jessica obviously did not understand the reason Silvia was so angry.

"Well. I just wanted to beg St Valeria to bless me for an easy childbirth..."

"St Valeria is a protector of law! You have looked for the wrong Saint! "

"Hmm. I’m not like the rest, I won’t even bother such a small detail."

"What type of small detail is this?”

"Hm... If you keep on clinging to petty things like this… You will never be on equal footing with the Princess!"

Silvia, who felt her weakness exposed, suddenly became furious.

“What did you say? Outsiders like you will never understand!"

“It's obvious at a glance–– There's too much difference in both of your open-mindedness."

"Ugh! How shameless are you... to talk about someone else's pain!"

"Oops. It is your pain? Oh… As a royal you are far behind Veronica-sama. In your open-mindedness and as a Dragner your strength is far less than 'Silver Knight'-sama; I advise you to learn how to be a woman, you can take this noble’s daughter as an example."

"What did you say......?"

Silvia couldn't bear with it any longer and her rational thinking snapped. She felt that what Jessica implied was as if she is trying to persuade her to hurriedly marry Glenn. Although logically it is impossible for Jessica to know of her arranged marriage with Glenn, but Silvia could’t care about the details so much.

"Ha! A mere Randall family’s servant even has the nerve to ask me to take her as an example? Even my toes are laughing!"

Jessica's face turned from red to white and back to red.

"Can it be Rebecca had told you...?"

"Don’t worry, under the president’s order, I will not spread this to the public. But, I would like to advise you to have a little restraint and stop falsifying your status."

Lips trembling, Jessica fiercely glared at Silvia.

"Then I’ll ask you... Can you guarantee that your actions are never related to falsehood?"

"I-I..."

Silvia was also afraid that someone will see through her timid side, which was why she was always pretending to be strong. As one of the Lautreamont Knight Country’s Princess' she was trying her hardest to play the ideal image of ‘This is what a princess should do’. Isn't such behaviour also taken as falsehood?

"Oops. Could it be that I hit the bull’s eye?"

"N-No. That's not it...”

Just while Silvia intended to voice a rebuttal-

-Boom!

The sound of explosion came from above.

The floor shook due of the impact, while dust, sand and stones fell from the ceiling. Judging from this evidence… There seemed to have been an explosion upstairs.

"Kyaa!"

Silvia was so frightened she inadvertently clung to Jessica. Maybe Jessica was equally caught up in the panic she wrapped her arms around Silvia and hugged her hard. Silvia and Jessica’s screams were like a trigger which made the other visitors cry. It was only one explosion but compared to the original sacred atmosphere of the Church, it instantly turned into a living hell. At this time… A condescending shadow was cast over the apalling scene.

"Who’s that person?"

Silvia's eyes widened. Black hair, with gimmering eyes full of evil. Wearing a native folk costume, with a high degree of exposure, an almost tanned coloured skin can be seen. Like in a drama, the woman began to speak:

"‘Blame the sin, rather than the sinner!’ What a joke! The fragile mind of a human is the root of all evil, and all who are sinners will never escape death!"

WHACK! The woman snapped a toss of the whip in her hand––

"I am called "Avdocha the Convicted’"!" [3] The woman said in a high and mighty manner.

Silvia became dumbstruck. She remembered that name.

"How come... this person is 'Avdocha the Convicted’?"

Silvia knew about the existence of this anti-establishment activist. Long ago… She had also seen her 'wanted order' several times. Her reward amount is up to one million Eccles. However, the woman in front of her had the face of a child, a petite body, and a childlike appearance, which caused others to disbelieve she was a battle-hardened terrorist. She was totally different from the picture in the wanted poster. But the woman looked at the visitor with a calm expression.

Even while her body looked petite, she was still able to look down from up high. That was because she was standing on the back of a basilisk! Under the sight of the big rolling eyes that only a basilisk has––

"Eek...!"

Both Silvia and Jessica trembled. The extreme fear caused them to not release each other’s hands.

––––Basilisk!

Even though they bear a striking resemblance to lizards, their size is nowhere near that of a normal lizard. Although they were well known as close relatives of an Asia, judging from the body's appearance, there was not even a slightest hint that they had a Dragon's intellect. After capturing it... To tame such monster and ride it like a horse, no matter what, it could never be done by an ordinary person. So the only explanation is… The woman in front is none-other than 'Avdocha the Convicted’––

"From now on, you are all hostages! Just don’t act rashly and I will not take your life! On the other hand... If someone dares to fight back… Don’t blame me if we use you to feed him!"

Following Avdocha’s order, the basilisk made an earth-shattering roar.

Part 5

The atmosphere of the airship Silvanus’s navigation room was very tense. The crew, led by the helmsman, were at their posts; They were ready to take off at any time.

"Huhu... It's hard even for me to tolerate this, Glenn." said Veronica who was smiling while sitting on the captain seat.

"Yes. Veronica-sama." nodded Glenn seriously in agreement.

Apart from the escort’s captain Glenn who was by Veronica’s side, the other six escorts were on their dragons responsible for the protection of Silvanus.

Under Veronica’s order Rebecca, Max, Ash and Eco ––members of the student’s council–– also gathered in the navigation room.

"Hey.... How can you be so calm? The church that Princess is in was attacked!"

Ash, unable to restrain his emotions, questioned. Veronica, on the captain’s seat, comfortably crossed her legs and teased:

"You're too inexperienced Ash. During the Necromancia's attack, were your emotions this unstable? If it is so, then you were just lucky the last time–– You'd better give some deep thought about it or else you cannot guarantee even your own life."

"What did you say?"

"Veronica-sama!"

At this moment the communication sergeant, while looking back at Veronica, interrupts Ash.

"There is a signal from St Valeria’s Church!"

Beside the communication sergeant’s hand, the Bright-Dragon-Crystal next to the magic communicator was shining.

"Connect to it."

"Understood!"

The magic communicator continued to flash for a while then a projection appeared in mid-air.

"––!"

Ash gasped. Even though he knew that this is a type of oracle, he had never seen such method. The technology must have been imported from the Empire. Although there was a lot of static noise, the scene shown on the screen looked like the interior of the St Valeria’s church–– St Valeria’s statue set on the altar statue proved this fact. The only thing was, the screen didn't show the hostages. Of course, that didn't rule out that Silvia could have been abducted.... which made Ash anxiously clench his fists.

At this moment… The projection screen suddenly showed a woman's face.

『 "I am called 'Avdocha the Convicted’. Wait, since we are already familiar with each other, I don’t need to announce my name… Right Veronica?"[4]』 She again spoke with a haughty and powerful voice.

"You're right. So could you quickly tell me what your demand is?"

Veronica showed the calm demeanor of a royal family.

"She is...'Avdocha the Convicted’?"

Ash's eyes widened and he turned speechless. Seeing her childlike face Rebecca, Max and Eco seem to feel the same way as Ash. All of their faces looked stunned and skeptical. Because comparing between her looks and the arrest warrant they received earlier… They were apparently two completely different characters.

The portrait in the arrest warrant looks like a 24-year-old she-leopard with a sharp look, which gave the feeling of a veteran guerrilla soldier......

『 "I’ll let you have a look at this first!"』

The screen suddenly focuses at another person’s body.

The altar of the Rosa Maria’s religion was magnificently decorated with its symbolic totem wing like crucifix. However, there is a person tied to the winged cross.

Ash and the others turned speechless and not just because of Avdocha's fetishes.

"Jessica...?"

Rebecca, who knew her since childhood, muttered blankly.

She was not wrong, the one tied on the winged cross was––the president of the SKFC––Jessica Valentine, of all people. Evidently she seemed to have inadvertently become a hostage.

"That’s t-too much!"

Ash's lips were trembling. Jessica was actually only wearing her underwear. Apart from her underwear and knee socks the rest of her clothing were mercilessly stripped away. The humiliated Jessica was desperately struggling to hold back her tears. Not only that, there are also squiggles on top of her bare belly that read:

- The Head of Valkyrie!

"That. Is that text in blood...?"

"No. That does not look like blood. It should be something like lipstick.”

Rebecca swept away Ash’s worry.

"Hmm... To even use hostages as a meat shield to make me offer my head. She is really an insatiable woman." Veronica calmly remarked. Even after witnessing Jessica’s inhumane treatment, Veronica was still so easy going. At this time, the screen slowly moves downwards, and the altar was shown.

"...What is that?"

Ash frowns.

Around the altar, there were black objects that give the impression of a "machine". Although it was an extremely strange and rarely seen thing, they were filled with a dangerous atmosphere that can never be found coming from equipment within the church.

From the screen Avdocha's voice was heard again:

『 "As you can see we have a bomb set up in the church. This is an Empire made mechanical bomb. Once detonated, the church will immediately be blown to pieces. Also, I am a person who has no patience. Every time the bell rings... I’ll kill a hostage."』

"What did you say...?!"

Ash excitedly clenched his fists. She was threatening that every hour there will be someone who will lose their life. Until the next time the bell rings… there was only around fifty minutes.

『 "Hehe... I can’t wait to see your head when it is off your neck Veronica."』

Once finished with these words the communication was terminated. It seems that Avdocha stopped it herself.

"Your Highness. What should we do now?"

Rebecca asked, but a sneer is shown on Veronica’s mouth. The coldness of her sneer, caused Ash’s hair to stand up straight.

"I’ll never compromise with terrorists. If we face an emergency situation we’ll use the main canon of Silvanus to blow up the whole church."

"What ..."

After hearing this emotionless declaration, Ash felt as if he was punched at the back of his head.

Even when she knew that Silvia may also be inside the church. But...

"You are really...!"

Ash finally understands the reason Veronica is given the title 'Ironblood Valkyrie'.

Notes:

1. The currency in this story. From a town in UK.

2. Whining sound.

3. In this sentence she speak in an high and mighty form. It is very hard to translate so the simple form will be I am 'Avdocha the Convicted’.

4. This is also spoken in an high and mighty form.
