The Dark Side of an Engagement - Chapter 1

Episode 1 – Burned Letter

 

Blood Fairy.

 

The crazy fair of the battlefield.

 

A battlefield killer. 

 

These were all modifiers for one person.

 

It refers to the lovely and only daughter of the Duke of Chloris and the Pink Diamond Tessia of the Estonian Empire. 

 

Tessia, the younger sister of the emperor’s beloved relative of the Estonian Empire, was the only one of the children to follow the blood of the imperial family to have all kinds of love. 

 

As the blood of the crown princess, she was not only recognized for her right to succeed to the throne but was also awarded the title of princess upon birth.

 

Lovely pink hair and green eyes. 

 

There were a lot of people around Tessia who could bring the world just by smiling.

 

The value of Tessia soared without knowing that it was high in the sky, with the expression “one daughter” added to her noble statues 

 

That was Tessia Chloris.

 

And Tessia was the head of the Knights of the Empire’s proud Knights of Valkyrie.

 

When Tessia first chose the knight’s route, there was also a theory that the tear shed by the emperor and her family might have raised the water level of the Twensi River in front of the island by a span.

 

Nevertheless, Tessia fed up with overprotection went to war, shrugging off the pleas of her relative’s brothers who held her pant legs.

 

The Pink Dia of Estonia has been reborn as the Blook Fairy.

 

Tessia rolled up the reins. 

 

Hi- 

 

The cries of horses divided the battlefield.

 

The mana who had been intertwined with the people raised their heads.

 

The symbol of Valkyrie is a flying heavenly horse.

 

Troops riding in the sky covered the sky and the sun.

 

Tessia raised the ice sword. 

 

“Valkyrie.”

 

The wind from the celestial wing penetrated among the Estonian knights who were in Dothan. Ever since they heard the news that the Knights of Valkyrie were coming up to the island, the knights waited for them to arrive. The Knights of Valkyrie were called the strongest of the Knights Against Mana. Hope has finally come to them. Cried Tessia. 

 

“In!”

 

The black mana was trampled on by white heavenly horse hooves. The sun shining on the ice sword blinded their eyes on a sharp sword cut ou their hearts. Valkyrie’s false name was not a rumor. The demons knelt down. Tessia took off her helmet. Tessia, who pulled the sword from the body of the last demon, and smiled brightly.

 

“You won, right?”

 

The green eyes bent gently with a bright smile of Tessia. Spring-like pink hair waved in the wind. With the light spring breeze, the sweet scent of flowers seemed to blend in. The smell of sulfur from the blood and mna dispersed in the wind. After the long winter war, Valkyrie and Tessia brought spring.

 

“Yes, Miss Tessia.”

 

Tessia’s deputy held out a search that was rolling the floor to her. The sword, which Tessia had never laid down since she went to war, was put into the sword. 

 

“Uoaa~ Ouch!

 

“Long live Tessia!”

 

“Long live Valkyrie!”

 

There was a roar of cheers. Tessia glistened her eyes and looked back at the adjournment. 

 

“Alex.”

 

“Yes, Miss Tessia.”

 

“How about meat tonight?”

 

Alex’s eyes, which had been glistening in awe of Tessia, had cooled down. Tessia bowed her head and gestured secretly to Alex.

 

“It’s not because I want meat. Alex, you know we won the war, so to the knights, huh? You know?”

 

What, I know. Alex said, still looking at Tessia with cold eyes.

 

“You had meat yesterday, too.”

 

“No, if you ate yesterday, there’s no telling you not to eat again today.”

 

“You had it the day before yesterday.”

 

“…… you’re going to be stingy with the meat? No way, you didn’t cut back the supply because your brother was upset, did you?

 

Asked Tessia with a look of astonishment. Alex shook his head with a  sigh. 

 

“No way.”

 

The king of Estonia is the one who will take out the meat in his mouth. He doesn’t do the least bit of hate for Tessia, even if he’s going to stir-fry Alex. I had to receive dozens of telegrams from the emperor every day. He apparently thought Alex was not Tessia’s deputy, but about a “baby sitter.” Anyways

 

“Then why are you grumpy?”

 

“…….we’ve run out of meat.”

 

“What?”

 

Tessia was a big eater, a great glutton. I can’t imagine how that little body would eat all of it. Tessi ate twice as much Jangjeong, which was three times as big as she was. It is not entirely a myth that valkyrie’s food dispatchers say that half of Valkyrie’s food seems to be eaten by Tessia. But even as he searched for three meals a day, the fish in the water of Valkyrie, who had been running through the forest road for a while, fell off. But what’s the point of making such a bain face? Some people might think we lost the war. Turns ou Alex, the weakest man to Tessia sighed. 

 

“We’ve already sent a bunch of knights into the woods. There’s got to be something stuck in the trap.”

 

Tessia finally smiled. It’s not that simple. After a secret talk, Tessia and Alex stretched their backs. Tessia proclaimed to the other knights who were waiting for what important stores they were telling. 

 

“Everyone’s resting! The army will begin tomorrow morning, so eat and drink enough today!”

 

“Yes? Yes!”

 

It was so serious that I was wondering what was going on. Anyway, rest is a good thing and if you add a victory to it, it’s icing on the cake. The knights scattered with jubilant faces. 

*** Fortunately, there were free injuries and fewer victims in today’s war.

If Tessia’s knights had arrived earlier, the number of victims would have decreased, but it was too late when they received requests for assistance. As soon as he received the request, he turned his way to the capital and decided to return to the country, but as many as 300 casualties were reported. Even though no one ordered it, drivers came forward to collect the casualties and collect the line they were wearing around their necks. It was to return it to the bereaved families. It was not until Tessia also prayed for their repose that she could return to the barracks and set up for her share. Even if you get used to the battlefield, you shouldn’t get used to someone’s death. Tessia swept down her face with her dry hand and released the army. Only them did real rest come.

 

“What is this?”

 

A letter was placed on the table in the middle of the barracks.

 

“Oh …..”

 

It was a letter from the imperial family. However, it seemed that the letter was sent in private, considering that it was stamped with the emperor’s personal seal, not the imperial seal. Ugh. Sometimes the emperor was more overprotective than his mother and father. Tessia pulled the letter out with a paper-knife. I was going to read a letter before going to a peaceful dinner. It was time for Tessia to unfold the letter.

 

“Mr. Knight! Mr. Tessia”

 

“What’s going on!”

 

“There must have been remnants of the devil! The rest of the group has been captured by the scouts! You’ll have to come in person!”

 

The letter and envelope caught up in the surge of Tessia, fell onto the brazier. But since Tessia had more to say than that….

 

“Oh my! Meat…..”

 

Tessia, with tears in her eye, picked up the ice sword. With a face, not the less curious about what the letter had. Tessia had no idea how it would affect her in the future. [Dear brother, Tessia. You’ll be able to see it in person soon. Tessia, it’s spring now. Shouldn’t you have a warm spouse like spring? After much consideration with Auntie, the Empress, and other imperial servants, I chose your fiance candidates. I’m sure you’ll like it too. The most powerful of the candidates is the Prince Luwenhart of the Trianaban kingdom. Of course, you’ll like it. We respect your choice. The prince will arrive earlier than the other candidates, so You will be able to meet him as soon as you come to the island. Let’s talk about the rest of the story, later. – from Helios, my brother who loves you.] 

*** I never thought the exterior of the day would come back like this. A letter that had been burned one day in the past was holding Tessia back. Tessia looked around the table with a confused face. Ten men, led by Emperor Helios and Tessia were seated around the dinner table. Everyone including Helios was only looking at Tessia.

 

“What the hell is going on here? ….”

 

Tessia could guarantee that this chaotic situation was the first time in her life.

 

“Helios….?  What is this situation?”

 

Asked Tessia with a bewildered look.

 

“Tessia, I’ve prepared it for you. Now, these are your fiance candidates.”

 

Helios smiled with a proud face. I thought today was definitely the day of a reception welcome Luwenhart. But Tessia’s fiancee candidates……? Tessia in the past, often. No to be really honest, I used to often think that I wanted to grab Helios by the collar and smash him to the ground. Usually when Helios gives out 101 praises for Tessia. And Right now!

 

“Tessia, do you not like me…..?”

 

Asked Luwenhart with a wistful look. Oh. My. God. Why is our precious healing wizard there….?

 

“Wasn’t she supposed to be married?”

 

I have no idea what the hell is going on. As Tessia is looking at Luwnhart, she hears the voice of another candidate next to her. 

 

“Tessia. You really didn’t expect this situation?”

 

It was Redford, who had been friends with Tessia for a long time. Still, Redford has a calm, friendly face as usual. Yeah, why the hell are you here again…..? Tessia’s green eyes were shaking. In the meantime, Luwenhart threw a stone around the time the candidates who did not know where Helios had attracted them, threw a word or two at Tessia.

 

“You certainly said you were responsible for me…..?”

 

Of course, Of course! However, Tessia’s offer of responsibility was a very trivial one. It seemed significant to make such a remark here. The candidates gathered in the dining room and began to roar.

 

“Wait, Tessia!”

 

Helios stepped in.

 

“You didn’t know this situation? The letter from my brother! The letter full of love!”

 

“That’s….”

 

“Didn’t you finish reading the letter?”

 

Said Helios with a face that seemed to have lost a thousand years of love. Brother, can you……. The emperor’s aides were embarrassed by the Sitcom. He looked worried about Helios, who had lost his dignity in from of his fiance candidates. Tessia laughed awkwardly, hahaha. All of those letters were from Helios? Somewhere on the battlefield, it was finely used for firewood. Tessia didn’t have time to read the same lengthy letter The battlefield isn’t a playground….. But if I say that, Helios will be hurt more right? Next time, I might write a longer letter and send it. Tessia gulped down her saliva.

 

“Tessia! How, how….”

 

Helios covered his wounded face with his palm. Then, he raises his head to see if this is not the case. 

 

“He, and….. Responsible for Prince Luwenhar…….? Luwnhart! You, what have you done to Tessia!”

 

Tessia was the one who said she would take responsibility, but why is the fire popping on Luwenhar. But Blood Fairy, who was sprinkling blood, was Helios’ only sister and the flower and a baby she had to protect. The flesh under Helios’ eyes trembled, which I swear never once imagined Tessia would do this or that with a man. Tessia pointed her head.

 

“Oh, it’s distracting…….”

 

Tessia thought she had to make some moves.
