I am the Newly Born Woman of Around Thirty Volume 5 Chapter 9

It is quite high if I look outside of the window.

From here, the royal city of Rugnand can be seen one 180 degrees.

Castle is surrounded by a large moat that should store water, and one can escape only with the bridge lowered, so to get out of the castle.

Even though I am frightened by the huge water moat, I breathe deeply, Jungun flags are standing around the kingdom.

The army led by Ricardo has already overwhelmed most regions of the country.

If we can get out of the royal castle it will be a friendly position.

But the troublesome thing is that it’s magic disabled area, including digging, it was impossible.

Because magical powers do not pa.s.s here at all, there are many tricks in the castle, so Ricardo-sama and others are cautious about attacking, despite having overwhelming advantages.

Unlike me wandering around the room with questions, Muriel-sama was eating rare candies of Rugnand country that were prepared for him, and sipping tea silently.

Going straight to eat without reading the air is completely Melba-like.

“It's not time to be relaxed! Somehow to escape! Does the door have soldiers … Somehow from the window … Do you want to replace the rope or try to break the wall?”

Even though I was squeezing out my thoughts about escape, there was absolutely no motivation in Muriel-sama.

He is too uncooperative.

“There are too many enemies and place is disadvantageous, there is a high possibility that we will be killed.”

“It’s okay! King Rugnand can't kill Muriel-sama, let’s run away.”

For King Rugnand, Muriel-sama is the last trump card.

King Rugnand can't kill him like that.

I know that we are unlikely to escape, but I would like to bet.

I don't know in detail what the medicine of memory loss that King Rugnand said for Muriel-sama to drink.

King who needs Muriel-sama's wisdom will not destroy the brain fundamentally, but I don't know what kind of harm that unhealthy drug can do to his body.

So, despite my desire to escape, Muriel-sama, who is the key player, wasn't motivated.

“As a lifetime request, let us escape, because of me Muriel-sama had to drink strange medicine by king Rugnand’s order, so that you will destroy Jungun army with a magic tool,”

Shaking him I was on the verge of tears.

Because of me, Muriel-sama was cornered, producing the devil weapon against his will, that may cause serious damages to the Jungun army. The body of supporting role can't bear this mental strike.

Grabbing the hand of Muriel-sama who was graciously drinking tea and raise him from the chair.

I was pulling him towards the door, but Muriel-sama stopped his feet on the way and seemed to be thinking about something. Turning my head to complain, I saw that Muriel-sama was studying the torch in the room.

King Rugnand in the magical non-interference area was using retro flames instead of light magic.

Not caring about me pulling his hand in a hurry, he seized it for a few moments and as if seeing the way he threw something inside of the torch.

“Wha … … what are you doing !!!”

That is a notebook of Melba that I saw in the forest.

Muriel-sama in the manga carried around a handbook about the magic tool’s near his skin.

As I was going to pick it up from the flames,

“It was my fault.”

I was bound by Muriel-sama’s arms that stopped me.

“It's not your fault it's my mistake.”

“What  is?….”

I caught his voice laying down on my head.

“I never thought you would become my weakness, I didn't notice it, so that's why I was cornered by a king like that, it’s because of me…”

" … … …Let’s discuss responsibilities later, Let’s run away for now”

[As soon as possible!] I was saying it, but my hair shook lightly, and I understood that Muriel-sama was shaking his head.

“I am not interested in my life, and everything is bulls.h.i.+t, so it was okay to finish it or whatever….”

“Stop, wait a moment …”

Muriel’s words that were interrupted unnaturally did not follow.

However, I feel something unpleasant in that voice, that includes self-blame I hear for the first time.

There was such a tone, as if we could never meet again.

Chills run through my back and I turned around reflexively, Muriel-sama’s perfect face with the beautiful expression came to my eyes.

If I looked directly at his figure, I strongly felt Muriel-sama rather than Melba, and I turned around with embarra.s.sment as I still couldn't swallow everything, trying to look away.

Because he helped me many times, I will unconditionally withdraw my power to Melba’s arms, but if I look back and see Muriel-sama, I retreat in shock.

“Before King Rugnand comes back!”

I try to hurry Muriel-sama while turning away my face.

Muriel-sama laughs raising his lips, as if he understood my heart.
