–Aninsar
==============================================================================================
Hearing Anna's words, Amy, who was spun lightly, had a hopeful expression on her face.
Perhaps Amy thought she will save her?
"But I just can't forgive you alone. You have seduced and corrupted the Crown Prince and the men who were to be the future pillars of the Centraren Kingdom. As a result, this country has been disrupted so much that the blood of so many innocent people has been spilt."
Anna said this to Amy with a cold expression I haven't seen in a long time.
Then she changes the tone of her voice and says the following with a hint of anger,
"That's not all! How dare you sell me out to the Est Empire for some incomprehensible reason!"
"Wh-what! Isn't it your fault that you weren't attractive as a woman!"
Amy responded hysterically to Anna's anger.
No, it's not even a rebuttal.
In the first place, what kind of nerve does she have to immediately respond in this way to someone whom she should be trying to beg for her life?
"That man and I were only engaged for political purposes. Even if there was an obligation, there was no love. But still, how dare you try to defile my chastity! And, even inflict such fatal wounds on Allen as well!"
Anna takes her strong anger out on Amy. However, for some reason, Amy is bullishly trying to make a strong comeback.
"Fufu, hmm? But that's too bad. You've been defiled by dozens of men. Serves you right."
No, what the hell is going on already? Does she even know what's the situation right now?
"Fufu. Sorry to disappoint you. My chastity is safe. The Spirit of Light protected me."
But Anna said this with a triumphant look, and gently touched the fairy's hair ornament with her right hand.
"Ah?"
Amy with a strange voice is glaring at Anna with a terrible expression.
"At first. Like Allen, I too thought about how quickly killing you will solve everything. But when I saw what happened to Markus, after breaking the brainwashing of His Highness, and also by the time we came here, Allen's swordmaster, and all the other soldiers whose brainwashing I had to break, I changed my mind."
"Then!"
Then again, she immediately looks hopeful.
No, seriously, I don't get it. What is going on in this woman's brain?
The words that came after this would not be positive in any way.
"Oh. I won't take your life. But let me take that voice away."
"Eh?"
Amy's eyes widened when she heard this.
"Silence reigns in the ice. There is no sound in the silvery world. O my holy ice! In the name of Anastasia Kleiner von Ramslett, I command you. Silence the voice of Amy von Bleiess, the frightening Witch of Envy who stands before me. Holy Ice Voice Seal."
Then Amy's throat was entwined with ice, which quickly shattered and disappeared.
Amy flutters and then turns blue when she realizes she can't speak.
"Now this woman can never speak again. Come on, Allen."
I gave a small nod and wrapped the Crown Prince and Amy around the ice using the rope I alchemised.
"Anna, you're ready."
"Oh. Let's escape while taking these two with us. No, before that…"
Anna said so and went to Markus, who was sinking in a pool of blood.
"It may be too late, but something may work out."
With that said, Anna uses Holy Ice Awakening and Holy Ice Healing in quick succession. Markus was then enveloped in holy ice.
Was he still breathing at least once?
It is very unlikely that Markus would survive a shotgun blast to the body.
And even though Markus was obsessed with Amy, he was one of the guys who had been harassing Anna for a long time.
Even though Markus was her enemy, she still extended her hand to him, as expected, Anna was definitely chosen to become a saint.
And I'm sure she wants to treat the soldiers who have fallen in the battle outside. But that's not possible because Gerhard-san has forbidden it.
"Now, we're getting out this time."
"Yeah. Let's go."
Thus we escaped from the royal castle, dragging Amy and the Crown Prince on ice while releasing the brainwashing of every soldier we passed. Then we rode on Jerome's back and headed for the main camp where the Second Prince and Duke Schleistein were.
****
"Wha! Br-brother?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince!?"
The Second Prince and Duke Schleistein spoke in surprise.
"We kidnapped him from the royal castle ourselves. As promised in advance, the Crown Prince will be handed over. Please do as you please."
The Crown Prince is mumbling and protesting, but I don't know what he is saying.
"So, what about that witch?"
"Yes. My Kingdom of Ramslett will give appropriate punishment and dispose of her. Her voice has already been silenced, so she will not be able to do anything worse."
"Is that so……"
"But we've done almost all the important parts ourselves, you know. Your Excellency the Duke, we are looking forward to working with you, okay?"
"Y-Yes…"
We then flew away with Jerome-kun, leaving behind the Duke, who replied tartly, and the Crown Prince, who was freed from the ice.
"By the way, Anna. What are you going to do about this woman?"
"Oh. I heard that this woman has been saying for a long time that she hoped I would be messily raped by a bunch of thugs. As a woman, I don't understand why she would think that way at all, but I thought maybe if she went through the same thing I went through, I would feel a little better about it."
"…… That's, well…"
"Oh. I heard that the mines hire prostitutes for a very high salary, but it is still a tough job. Therefore, I hear that there are only a few who volunteer for it and are soon forced to quit. The only ones who remain are those like this woman who was sent to be executed instead. "
Amy, who is pinned in ice with a pale face and her mouth agape, was trying to say something, but her voice never uttered a word.
Thus, our battle with Amy, ended.
