48. Conviction (2)
“…Haha, so it’s checkmate, huh? I’ve been found out, it seems. Yet another execution? How unoriginal. Why can’t I kill people? I mean, isn’t it fun? It feels really exciting for me. I mean, I don’t know for what reason should I continue on living. It’s only when I kill people that life feels worthwhile—it was precisely at that moment I realized, ‘I see, I was born to kill people’.”
Maria laughed drily, and began to talk casually, as if sharing her impression of a novel. The way she referred herself went from third person to merely ‘I’.
Due to her unnatural behavior, everyone grew wary. Will hugged my waist while Kevin put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
“Then, what’s the death sentence going to be, this time? Hanging? Well, anything is fine. Ah, I want to destroy the kingdom… break it into a thousand pieces and throw the political society upside down… oh, right. Your lover, Tia… rize, isn’t it? If I had broken that woman—raped her and then discarded her like one would a rag, before finally killing her, I wonder if I would get a more sensational charge! Yep! Definitely, I would be accused of something far more interesting than merely being a murderer!”
“Will!”
Precisely at that moment, Will’s magical aura rose to an unimaginable level.
Anyone with magic would understand that.
I noticed Will’s change faster than I could grasp what Maria had said. I placed my hands on Will’s chest and shoulder in a hurry, and focused his gaze unto me. I could see Will’s eyes.
They were dark—they contained terrible desire. They were unlike his usual fresh teal green eyes—now they had the color of a deep, bottomless, sea.
“Will, Will—!”
“Oh, oh right… I am alright, Tia… King Talia, Lyon, do you have anything else to say? If not, this woman shall be detained immediately. No, I want to take her back to Haulfa—is that okay?”
Will seemed to have finally regained his sanity after I beckoned to him. But his expression was still tense.
Both His Highness Lyon and Luka showed a difficult look after hearing what Will had said.
“She also murdered a lot of our people…”
His Highness Lyon muttered stiffly. Luka said something along the same line.
“Because of the human trafficking, who knows how many people were affected…”
“Well then, let’s imprison her at Haulfa. I shall place her under my watch. I shall contact the two of you shortly about her fate. You’ll offer immediate assistance if she is to escape, won’t you?”
Will’s words choked both His Highness Lyon and Luka. Would Will alone be enough to subdue Maria?
I was wondering so and lifted up my face to stare at Will—but I couldn’t do it, because he had embraced me.
After confirming there weren’t any objection, Will removed his hand from my waist and stepped forward. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out to Maria.
In the end, he decided against touching her, and briefly raised his hand to chant a spell, instead.
Although this time it wasn’t a continuous cast, a pattern still appeared in the air as the characters began to be engraved—it happened again…
…a mysterious phenomenon was occurring. I was taken aback.
In the next moment, Maria vanished from the room.
The knights, who were holding her, also disappeared.
I blinked my eyes—huh…?
What just happened…?
“As always, you go crazy right off the bat.”
“To be able to use the highest-tier magic in an instant, as expected of the prodigal First Prince of the Kingdom of Haulfa.”
His Highness Lyon and Luka said in admiration.
…highest-tier magic?
When my gaze returned to Will with a jerk, Will smiled slightly as he patted my head.
Then, he told me.
“Let’s go home, Tia, to our kingdom.”
Immediately afterwards, the carriage was readied. Hurriedly, I told him that I wanted to say farewell to my guild, first.
Then, Luka looked at me with a sigh of relief as he bowed deeply.
“L, Luka—no, I mean, King Larsen?”
“I want to tell you to keep calling me Luka, but the situation disallows it, it seems… Lady Tiarize, not too long ago, I retreated with the guild members.”
“Yes…”
“…Despite everything, I still think that I made the right decision.”
“…I see.”
To be honest, I also couldn’t say whether his decision was right or wrong, either.
I didn’t know. The right to judge whether it was right or wrong didn’t belong to me.
Seeing that I nodded, Luka panicked a little.
“To tell you the truth, the kingdom soldiers were stationed right in front of that mountain just in case the guild fell. However, Mival guild is quite excellent—therefore, it was not going to be defeated just like that.”
“I see, that’s how it is.”
I was shocked by Luka’s words. I never knew the kingdom’s soldiers were there!
Luka nodded lightly to my words.
“I already expected the number of casualties to be quite high. However, there’s also the fact that the members of the guild are vigilant… I didn’t want to sacrifice them. But, the kingdom’s soldiers aren’t invincible, either. They aren’t dispensable—therefore, I had to make a decision. …I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to explain that.”
“…Never mind that.”
Which would you sacrifice to maintain the balance?
As a king, he must always make such decisions.
That was why, I could only respond with such a vague answer. I didn’t understand politics—that was why, my reply was short.
“—as for you, Your Highness Williant from the Kingdom of Haulfa, I can’t thank you enough. As a form of gratitude, our kingdom shall assist the intentions of the Kingdom of Haulfa as much as possible.”
“…I am grateful for those words.”
Will turned back to Luka, who bowed deeply, and pulled my waist.
This new behavior of his tickled me, I was not used to it.
Involuntarily, I looked up at Will—Will showed me a reassuring smile.
“I shall accompany you as you bid farewell to your guild, Tia.”
***T/N:
…first of all, WHY DO WE NEED A SECOND PART OF SUCH A SHAM CHAPTER/CLIMAX!??!?!?!?!
“…Haha, so it’s checkmate, huh? I’ve been found out, it seems. Yet another execution? How unoriginal. Why can’t I kill people? I mean, isn’t it fun? It feels really exciting for me. I mean, I don’t know for what reason should I continue on living. It’s only when I kill people that life feels worthwhile—it was precisely at that moment I realized, ‘I see, I was born to kill people’.”
Maria’s reason for killing is finally revealed!–but do we care? Nope, ok, moving along.
oh, right. Your lover, Tia… rize, isn’t it? If I had broken that woman—raped her and then discarded her like one would a rag, before finally killing her, I wonder if I would get a more sensational charge!
…This is godawful. And nope, I’m not talking about Maria’s rape threat–that’s equally as godawful too, but about how the Author tries to shoehorn Tia inside a scene that clearly had nothing to do with her, like at all. Instead of anything, it felt like a poor attempt to return the spotlight to the (heavy parentheses) heroine.
Anyone with magic would understand that.
Hello all of you readers who are still here, whoever has magic, please step forward! Yes, the author is referring to YOU, she doesn’t wanna waste time explaining about magic to US; these lowly beings with no magic whatsoever, so please help us know what’s the magic system of Tia’s world! It should be easy, or so the author said!
…a mysterious phenomenon was occurring. I was taken aback.
At this point the biggest mystery in the story is whether or not Tiarize has any other reaction beside being taken aback or ‘i-don’t-know-what’s-happening’.
Honestly, the only thing that would surprise me now is if the bitch doesn’t get surprised whenever anything happen.
To be honest, I also couldn’t say whether his decision was right or wrong, either.
–OH NO YOU DONT GET TO PERCH YOUR ASS ON TOP OF THE NEUTRAL GROUND NOW, YOU BITCH!!!!!!! I TRANSLATED EVERY GODDAMN ONE OF YOUR FRICKIN THOUGHT!!!!! YOU INCESSANTLY THINK WITHDRAWING IS FUCKING WRONG!!!!! YOU WON’T STOP HAMMERING US WITH YOUR IDEALS WHILE YOU STAND THERE DOING NOTHING AS THOSE IKEA DRAGONS RAMPAGE!!!!!!
“To tell you the truth, the kingdom soldiers were stationed right in front of that mountain just in case the guild fell.
So where were they when the disaster actually happened? LIES. THIS DUDE IS JUST LYING TO SAVE HIS OWN ASS.
However, Mival guild is quite excellent
…Yeah, that’s not what we saw a few chapters back.
therefore, it was not going to be defeated just like that.”
–AGAIN!!!! THAT’S NOT WHAT WE SAW A FEW CHAPTERS BACK!!!!! I’VE BEEN THERE, MAN. IT WOULD REQUIRE SOME SORT OF MIRACLE OCCURING FOR THE GUILD TO NOT BE DEFEATED JUST LIKE THAT!!!!
“I already expected the number of casualties to be quite high. However, there’s also the fact that the members of the guild are vigilant… I didn’t want to sacrifice them. But, the kingdom’s soldiers aren’t invincible, either. They aren’t dispensable—therefore, I had to make a decision. …I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to explain that.”
–LUKA, DEAR, THE BIGGEST QUESTION HERE IS, WHY ARE YOU–THE KING, THE MOST INDISPENSABLE FIGURE OF THE KINGDOM–IS THERE ALSO?! HOW DID YOU GET THOSE SOLDIERS TO AGREE TO LET THEIR KING CHARGE HEADLONG TO THE SUPPOSED MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURE?! OH, I KNOW. THE SOLDIERS ARE ACTUALLY QUITE FAMILIAR TO THEIR KING’S COWARDICE. I BET THEY WERE LIKE ‘meh. Once shit happen he’ll ran off and it’ll be up to us to clean his shit.’
I didn’t understand politics
…this admittance… coming from the future queen… ooooo boi. My head throbbed already.
“I shall accompany you as you bid farewell to your guild, Tia.”
Yeah put a leash on the dumb hoe, Will, in case she runs off chasing butterflies.
oh btw I have news for you guys:
–THIS SHIT GOT ARC 3.
THE GAZILLION EXTRA CHAPTERS WEREN’T ENOUGH, WE GOT A GODDAMN ARC 3!!!
ITS THERE IN CASE YOU GUYS WANT A PROLONGING OF THIS SUFFERING.
IN CASE YOU GUYS ARE INVESTED IN SCHMIA OR FERN OR AMILIA, THAT’S WHY ARC 3 IS HERE, IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE…
…AND NOPE, I AM NOT TRANSLATING THAT, FUCK THAT, AFTER THIS ARC 2, IM GOING TO MALIBU IN A CRUISE TO DETOX MYSELF OF THE BITCH’S NEURONLESSNESS.
Arc 3? Why author-sama? Why would you hurt people like that?
I THOUGHT MARIA WAS THE ORIGINAL MAIN CHARACTER IN THE NOVEL THAT AMILIA GIRL REINCARNATED IN?? ARE WE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHY IT SUDDE LY BECAME LIKE THAT? Or are we just going to assume that the person who reincarnated as Maria was a serial bloodthirsty murderer???
Ah yes, I am magic man. I can attest to the magic being done here as completely real and not at all confusing. I am a verified magic person as it says on my Mc Donalds Gift card
I just finished reading an updated chapter finally of Beware of the brothers… sigh… they grow up so fast…sniffles…
I have a guilty pleasure, I absolutely love seeing blackheads removed by tweezers… its so damn satisfying… you see this nice clean hole after a skin poop is pulled out…ah… you feel cleansed!,
This story has never been satisfying like that… its like those other zit popping vids where they dig their nails in the skin creating damn long deep ass indents in skin already tortured by red and bloody pulsating pustules… its very unsatisfying… heck they don’t even get it all out! its like dude! at least get out the damn zit completely! far out…just why they do that…
Id link a video to those satisfying extractions… ah… time to go put that on loop after reading this…
Kuq ku, whats the title of that manga where the noble lady got a butler from a gacha?
Chitra
In your rage, you seem to have skipped chapter 48. At least, I can’t seem to find it.
Ah this is chapter 48. Wrong name.
If u count the prolog then this is indeed the 49 th chapter. After a month i experience a mental slip
Honestly though, I have absolutely no idea on the flow of the plot from chapter 1 until now… I was thinking maybe the author wanted to try every genre in this story but everything turned bland.
I actually had more fun reading your commentaries, I hope the author also reads them.
Lastly, since theres Arc 3 but you decided to take the train to Nopeville, does that mean you wont translate the next chapters? (I mean it doesnt make sense to sympathize with schmia or maria now that theyre dead/zoned out)
Nah i will finish arc 2 at least. There is still a few ch left. Fuck me.
I am gonna flip out even more if the author tries adding a sci-fi genre by making an android chara or something like it the world is actually a VR world like SAO and not just a simple I reincarnated into a game genre.
GABE DONT PUT IDEA INTO THE AUTHOR’S HEAD
SHOOT!!!! I MADE A MISTAKE!!!! ARC 4 MIGHT BE COMING!!!
THERE IS 10 CHAPTERS OF ARC 3 ALREADY EVEN THOUGH ITS ONLY 4 DAYS.
I admire the author’s ability to come up with new chapters that fast, whilst the author of Eliza Kaldia, one of my favorite WN, last updated in August last year.
Its a good story? I thought that the summary is too depressing so i
It’s got way too many drama that people might not enjoy but I like how Eliza’s personality is…….she is not the typical reincarnated villainess who tries to avoid her death by escaping and other cute means, she outright eliminated the cause of her demise but is now causing her trauma and became the source of her drama. The story is told in Eliza’s POV and we can see that this little baby is way too harsh to herself even though I think the people don’t think of her as badly as jow she thinks of herself. I am waiting for the MC’s redemption. But I didn’t like the things happening around chapter 50 to 55……the happenings there killed my heart and I had to stop reading for a few days to get over it.
Basically Eliza isn’t the Im’ma escape my fate by being all nice to OrigMC and the capture targets, or by avoiding them plainly. It would actually be more accurate to say she is slowly becoming the ML by outshining the capture targets with her amazing battle achievements. Enemies call her ‘vampire’ because they thinks she drinks the blood of the people she killed in the battlefield and even their own soldiers who got injured fear her, thinking that she would also kill them because they are injured thus becoming useless. But the noble ladies in the capital call her ‘vampire’ for an entirely different reason, because they think she is so handsome like a vampire and they would gladly offer their blood for her.
Oh dia will heal you soon after. It will be chapters of fluff afterwards.
So we will see Dia tonight!!!! Better prepare some offerings.
BTW, Have you seen this commander???
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/without-showing-this-wound/
It’s a short read and I say it’s good for passing time and watch out for the last chapter.
N-no thats not what i am implying. I haven’t translated dia yet as of this month.
This night is tia and ally.
Oh……..so I must prepare my roasting tools instead of offerings….and also prepare my mind for some muscles
Shush you might get isekai’s into schmia’s body
No…please don’t anything but that…please
Also no isekai-ing into Tia’s body nobody wants that.
But what if it happen Gabe. What would be the first thing you do
Make sure smart people or at least people with common sense gets hired in the academy to teach the nobles and make sure those 2 will become the qualifications of hiring teachers or tutors then I would personally supervise the learning of Tia and Williant so they at least get a bit of common sense…..if I failed then I will find a way to give them brain transplant…if that also fails then I will just jump of in front of a carriage in hopes of getting isekai’d to another novel.
Gabe… There will actually be arc 4.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
SERIOUSLY????!!!!!!! WHAT’S THIS MY CASUAL JOKE CAME TRUE???!!!! WHYY?????? I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF TIA GETS AN…………I won’t continue it might become true.
Next time I’ll make a joke about me becoming rich.
Dear translator, have you ever thought of making your own rant story? I’m literally continuing to read this novel just for your comments.
Wait, there was a story arc here? No wait, there’s been two? Now I know I missed something…
Yeah when tiarize yeeted herself from the royal palace with fern thats the start of second arc
Okay, so there’s an “arc”…I think what’s missing is the “story” part…
Continue being you, Eh. Continue being you…
( ̅̅̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅ Ѡ ̅̅̅ ̅̅̅ )
Deep breaths translator…
You wouldn’t want to reincarnate into this novel anytime soon do you?
What’s this highest-tier magic? It wasn’t mentioned exactly what it does, but from what I read here it’s some kind of transportation magic? My question is, if he could use such magic easily in an instant, why didn’t he use it to quickly go to Talia to search his oh-so-beloved Tia?
because……. He wasn’t really in an urgent need to do so. Believe it or not this dude loved tia.
Why…why is there a third arc? You know…maybe the author gains powers from our distress thats why she keeps writing…But honestly…right now I can’t tell if my headache is from this chapter or from not having my morning cup of coffee lol.
She thinks it deserve arc 3. She thinks schmia need a proper backstory…
Hi! Welcome to another episode of “Tia Roasts”
In today’s to be roasted:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GV-DPYz0LRcJsesPFjPsR-Ljk5OZAbW9/view?usp=drivesdk
Why can’t I kill people? I mean, isn’t it fun? It feels really exciting for me.
Girl you wanna feel excitement??? I know a good harmless way. Join us in playing brawl stars then feel the excitement.
Due to her unnatural behavior, everyone grew wary. Will hugged my waist while Kevin put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Look at this clip:
https://youtu.be/q0xl48wkNao
Notice how Thor hid Rocket behind him to protect Rocket or how Tony made a shield for Hawkeye. That is how you try to shield someone you don’t hug their waist, it won’t do any good for the both of you and will most likely just hinder your movement in case you need to.
Your lover, Tia… rize, isn’t it? If I had broken that woman—raped her and then discarded her like one would a rag, before finally killing her, I wonder if I would get a more sensational charge!
Honestly I didn’t really care about her threat. What bothered me was the thought of Maria swinging that way. She charmed and seduced a ton of man and brought chaos in a kingdom, but in the end she actually swings that way………did she ever seduce a woman in her previous kingdom???
When my gaze returned to Will with a jerk, Will smiled slightly as he patted my head.
I made a mistake of reading “Will smiled” as Will smith

“To tell you the truth, the kingdom soldiers were stationed right in front of that mountain just in case the guild fell. However, Mival guild is quite excellent—therefore, it was not going to be defeated just like that.”
Indeed the guild was quite excellent, particularly in the aspect of losing and retreating.
That was why, I could only respond with such a vague answer. I didn’t understand politics—that was why, my reply was short.
THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU THE FIANCEE OF THE CROWN PRINCE AND THE FUTURE QUEEN??????!!!!!!! AND WHY THE F@CK ARE YOU NOT TRYING TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO LEARN POLITICS????!!!!!!!!! EVEN BABIES CAN LEARN POLITICS SO WHY THE F@CK CAN’T YOU????
Amazing roast, Gabe. We shall couple it with a bottle of rose wine *pops the bottle open
Btw turns out will can teleport…
Can he teleport Tia and himself to the trash??? If the answer is no then his teleporting magic is useless.
