Chapter 63 - Volume 2 Chapter 19: The Bitch Elf Who Doesn't Want to Cry

(Years before Walson and his group arrived at Teigitan)

Thisland is a place far far away from the Capital City of Teigitan, on the Bourne Plateau in the north of the Western Continent.

"Aurevia Bratio Ilf, from henceforth, you have been deprived of your status as a Noble and therefore have been expelled from this Empire!" A rather handsome looking prince put his arms around the beautiful princess and sentenced an elf girl to the cruel fate of an exile.

The true love between the handsome prince and the beautiful princess was obstructed in every possible way by the efl girl.

And just to drive away the beautiful princess, the elf girl tried to use many dirty methods.

In the aristocratic schools of the elves, the jealous elf had launched all kinds of attack toward the princess, insults upon insults are launched, the jealous elf had tried a lot of different way to make life difficult for the beautiful princess, from splashing water to spreading hurtful rumors about the princess, and even to physical bullying.

However, despite the oppression that the princess received, she is still very kind to others, constantly illuminating the life of countless others just like the bright moon who lit up the night sky.

Opposite to the sun which is represented by the prince, there is a beautiful moon standing by his side.

And the one who is opposing the both of them are the scheming whore, with a dirty heart, filled with evil, cunning minds and unscrupulous thought.

The kind princess won the support of everyone, and in the end, even the closest friends of the scheming bitch turned their back against her.

The scheming whore who had hurt everyone, even her own relatives, was finally being held trial in public.

Under the begging of the kind princess, the prince who originally planned to give the scheming bitch a death sentence finally changed his mind.

Instead, the bitch would be deprived of her elven weapons, be made to put on a slave's collar, and be expelled from the kingdom of elves forever.

The blond woman, who was referred by the many as the nasty scheming bitch, whose life was over, knelt down on the ground in embarrassment, accepting the trial of her ex-fiancé.

The guards on both sides came over and took her by the arms.

Ignoring her screams of resistance, the prince handcuffed the slave collar around her neck with a look of resentment clear on his face.

After that, the collared girl was dragged out of the lobby in despair.

(Barella)

"..." I touched the collar around my neck and smiled with a hint of sadness.

That was... seven years ago.

I am twenty-four years old this year, it has been so long.

After that, I was expelled from the kingdom of elves under the excuse of "studying abroad", and was expelled to this "distant" academy.

In fact, I know in my heart that this is actually almost the same as the death penalty.

On the surface, I was just the exiled slave of a prince.

Barlon... the days of him filled my mind nonstop, and the day where the only thought I have about him is of adoration and love, has all passed.

My end is near.

There are only a few commands left implanted in my collar.

I am not allowed to do any behavior that will allow me to gain money, and I'm not allowed to fight back no matter what bullying I would encounter in this distant land. And after graduating, I will "walk" back to their hometown alone.

These three orders are meaningless, and are mainly there to represent the prince's punishment for me.

I was not allowed to have an income, so that meant I could only use the money they gave me, which of course is running out now.

Barlon does that In order to let me live as a poor person outside, and at the same time to make sure I would have no income, to make sure that I cannot build any kind of influence in foreign land.

Even if someone offers me money, due to the order in the collar, I can only refuse it.

Furthermore, I am also an elf who has lost my [Elf Weapon], something that is worth being discriminated against, combined with my status as a slave, being beaten and humiliated are all common occurrences.

I just accept it because I can't fight back the bullying.

Finally, the last command is for me to return home on foot.

Actually, this curse doesn't make sense at all.

Because even if I were to return, the order of my expulsion still won't be revoked, and I would still be killed if I ever set my foot on the Empire.

It's a loss-loss situation for me.

If I don't obey, the collar will kill me, but if I obey, the Empire soldiers will kill me.

Of course, a student like me entering the academy is causing a lot of headache for the academy higher up, but to handle this,Barlon gave the school a lot of financial aid, all just to get me punished.

... I'm a valued person toBarlon, in a sense, it's something that the me from a few years ago would be delighted to be.

Lastly, if something happens in the middle of my punishment, such as the curse in my collar doesn't work, there is nothing the prince needs to be worried about.

Before I was exiled here, the Elf royal family sent a group of spies to the city of Teigitan.

I don't know what they are planning, but they have an extra task related to me, which is to kill me secretly if something goes wrong.

In order to avenge his wronged princess,Barlon did everything he could.

—Barlon, You, you were originally my fiancé.

And yet, the moment she appeared, you showed her a smile that you never showed to me.

All I ever wanted was just for you to not fall for that girl, all I want is for my future husband to not fall in love with another girl.

In the end, I was exiled by you, and even those that I thought as my best friend betrayed me.

Even you Barlon, whom I love the most, also betrayed me.

— Barlon, I'm sorry , i can't follow your command, even if I my death is guaranteed, even if my days are not long,

I would live happily till the last day I drew my breath.

"That's why you gave me and Grace an assist, right?" Walson said with a grin.

"So, how are you going to help me? You better hurry up and put on the collar, you little braggart."

Actually, I won't really ask you to wear it.

Despite how it looks, I know that you have helped me a lot.

The days when you drink with me, listen to my singing, listen to my nostalgia for my hometown, and listen to my complaints about school, is something that is very precious to me

You and Grace are all that's left of me.

"It's true that I didn't expect that there would be a fantasy world CCP-equivalent group monitoring you, but I shouldn't be surprised, black ops are a must in every society, but I didn't expect to come into contact with it in this way— Well, it's just a little troublesome." After hearing my story, Walson just smiled and said such words.

"....Eh?"

"Melon, if I eradicate a spy group from another country who are hidden in the Capital City, will I be regarded as an enemy?"

"I don't think you would, Maser is doing the country a great favor after all."

Wait, what are they talking about?

"Very well, then, Barella."

"Huh?"

"You mean, as soon as you are released from slavery, those guys will come after you, right?"

"Uh...yes..."

"So, let's go out and change the places for a while, don't fight in the store, it's a hassle to clean it up." After saying so, Walson extended his hand to me, his palms about to grasp my hand.

"Wait, you won't be..."

"... Please enter the urn." Grace appeared beside me at some point.

It wasn't long before I found out.

It turns out that these three people who have been by my side all the time who look like ordinary people... are not ordinary people at all.
