Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

Chapter 95

95 – Post-war Processing – 1

When we returned to the imperial palace, the Royal Guard was waiting, as if the Sword Saint had given us word in advance.

“The Sword Saint asked me to guide you to the basement as soon as you arrive.”

The Royal Guard politely showed me the way.

Considering the fact that there is no need to do so because the status of those over there is generally much higher than that of academy students, it is safe to say that the rumor about healing magic has spread.

The source of the rumor is probably one of the three archmages who participated in the Wizards Association. Since you are the only human capable of using healing magic, he must have told you to protect him at all costs.

“This is the innermost prison here.”

After the Royal Guard arrived in the basement, they went inside for a long time.

A prison located in the innermost part of the imperial palace basement. This was the room where the murderer Karna was once imprisoned.

“We have arrived. The Sword Saint—suck.”

As soon as I opened the double doors of the prison, a feeling of death pricked my skin. Even though it wasn’t directed at this direction, it was a brutal killing that made even the Royal Guard hesitate.

It was completely different from what I felt when I first encountered Geomseong. If it feels like you are being forced to choose between fighting back or dying, then this is a feeling that is purely weighing down your body and mind.

Well, from my perspective, it was much easier to endure than it was then. Right now, all I could feel was that I felt alive. At that time, I had a hard time suppressing the desire to fight back by pulling out Youngwon right away.

“Are you here?”

As Karna approached with a smile, the royal guard standing next to her stiffly raised a salute with her stiff body. She tried to tell Karna that she didn’t have to do that since she wasn’t the leader anymore, but she remained firm.

Geomseong was still glaring at the people imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison with cold eyes. Then, only after turning his head and looking this way did he relax.

“Thank you for your hard work. “Go out.”

“Yes!”

The Royal Guard, who had struggled to gather themselves, saluted and left the basement. As the sound of clanking footsteps disappeared into the distance, Geomseong sighed deeply.

“I’m sorry for showing such indecency.”

“It’s okay. But what about this...... ?”

It was the first time that the Sword Saint showed such strong emotions, except for the moment when Karna returned to her human form. She wasn’t at that level when she came to see me in person, telling me that Brünnhild and I were almost dead.

“In the past, that person said harsh things to me, who was a murderer.”

“Stop, Karna. Don’t put those dirty memories of her in her mouth. “I will do it for you.”

The swordsman, who closed Karna’s mouth like her sword, spoke her words.

“Do you remember that I locked this child up for a long time?”

“Yes.”

“I was repeating failures endlessly that day, and somehow it knew and came here.”

The eyes that were looking at the abandoned crown prince calmed down.

I thought I was worried because I was locked in my room for only a few hours, but if something like that had happened before I was locked in, it would have been worth worrying about. Because you don’t know what’s going to happen inside.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. That’s me. “Let’s open the door.”

Instead, I knocked on the door. After a short silence, a proper response finally came.

“...... If you’re going to come in, come in alone. “I won’t open the door to other people even if it kills me.”

Shocked, the servants and I looked at each other. Aside from his cracked and hoarse voice, you could never think of him as the prince’s usual way of speaking.

“I will leave this place to you. Since you have vowed never to open the door for us, staying any longer will only be a distraction. Please take care of your Majesty.”

The judgment was quick. The servants, as if confident that their stubbornness would never be broken, handed me a tray full of porridge and stomped away. Left alone, I knocked on the door again.

“Everyone left. “I’m the only one, so you can open it.”

“...... Okay. Come in.”

Creak, the door was half open. Laura stuck her head out and looked outside, and only after making sure that no one was there did she make a sign that it was okay to come in.

“... ....”

As soon as I went inside, I was shocked. The entire room was devastated, as if it had been bombed.

All the furniture was destroyed, the carpet was torn into pieces and strewn about helplessly, and the walls and floor were completely burned. Not a single place was sound.

Laura, who came to open the door, did the same. Her clothes had become little more than rags, and her hair was a mess. What did she do in that short period of time? There were dark circles under her eyes.

“Your Highness. “What is this?”

“Don’t say that! Just hearing it makes me sick...... Yo. This.”

Laura, who reflexively shouted, looked up at me, and her body trembled, adding an ambiguous politeness to me. There was really something strange about her. She didn’t seem to be the usual Laura.

Her trembling fingers grabbed my wrist and pulled me. Although she had no strength at all, she walked obediently as led. As she came in, I was burning her from all sides and stinging her nose.

Laura was still holding her notebook in her right hand.

“What on earth happened while I was gone? “Why are you speaking like that?”

Laura laughed for a moment at my question and looked down at her notebook. Her enemy, who had always been full of confidence, was half dead inside.

“This is something you can’t even imagine.”

“Whether I can imagine it or not is up to me to decide. “Tell me.”

A faint sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. She said let’s just leave it at that.

“Would you believe that this world was created by someone else’s hands?”

“Of course it is.”

There are four people, including me, who have been dragged into this ‘created’ world, so there’s no way they wouldn’t believe it.

But even though Laura confirmed me so easily, she still did not give up a faint sneer.

“Then, I am the one who created this world?”
