I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

Although the rapier was not suitable for such a small space, by utilizing "Water Acceleration" and "Fortress", he could kill Ella while withstanding Lotte's attacks. Any warrior of the same level could do this. Moreover, even if the "Fortress" failed to block Lotte's attacks when killing Ella, there was nothing to be angry about. He could just regard it as a punishment for his sister's irresponsibility.

"[Water Acceleration], [Fortress]."

After being pushed back to the wall away from Ella, Tifarian immediately cast melee magic on herself, jumped up using the low table as a fulcrum, and rushed out like an arrow, slashing from top to bottom sideways, completely ignoring Lotte who was about to rush into her arms from below.

“That’s it!”

"Sister, stop it!"

While shouting, Lotte twisted her left hand holding the magic spear at an incredible angle, while her right hand continued to rush into Tifarian's arms with the original momentum.

Ding--

boom--

The crisp symphony of metal and the dull sound of flesh touching each other appeared in the room one after another.

The magic bullet from the magic gun traced a blue trajectory and hit Tifarian's rapier. At the moment Tifarian used "Fortress", Lotte threw her to the ground, pressed the joint of Tifarian's elbow, causing her to lose control of the rapier, and completely suppressed Tifarian. Although Tifarian had countless ways to escape the suppression, any of them would cause Lotte to suffer heavy damage. After thinking for a few seconds, she smacked her lips and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to attack Ella.

Keeping her face to face with Tifarian, Loti stared into Tifarian's eyes - she could even clearly feel the other's heavy breathing on her face.

"Why, attack Ella?"

"Tsk, has the collar already been used to control it to this extent?"

Tifarian walked around Lotte and glared at Ella with eyes filled with intense anger.

Even without explanation, Ella understood why Tifarian suddenly attacked her - Tifarian had already realized that she was Lotte's master and mistakenly believed that Lotte was a slave forced by her. If she killed her, the ownership of Lotte would be transferred to Tifarian, thus ensuring that Lotte would not be controlled by this "evil" person.

Although normally one should be very angry when faced with a situation where someone wants to kill him, if he were in Tifarian's position, he might do the same thing - seeing his sister being turned into a slave by a stranger, anyone would be angry.

Removing the countless "magic shields" and "ice balls" standing in front of her, with a nervous mood as if she was about to meet the girl's parents - although the reason why Lotte became a slave was not her fault, and she had never forced Lotte to do anything, this nervousness could not be erased - Ella walked carefully across the messy ground step by step and came to Tifarian.

"If you think Miss Ella is ordering me around with her collar, you can let go of that thought. Miss Ella is the one who saved me."

"Wait until you take off the collar before you say that."

"Just like Lotte said, I never used the collar to control her."

"You still want to make excuses after all this!"

Tifarian's beautiful facial features were twisted together, and there was pain in her eyes as she looked at Loti.

[No, this person is completely hopeless.]

Ella couldn't help but cry out in frustration.

As far as he could remember, the only time he saw a collar was when Dean questioned Lotte's slave status. He ordered Lotte to attack him in the name of "commands." That was the only time Lotte disobeyed his orders. The rest of the time, at most, he had ordered Lotte to not be affected by the collar even if she was too far away from him. She was no different from a free person.

But the problem was how to explain it to Tifarian. In Tifarian's eyes, no matter what Luti did, it would be regarded as the result of her forced orders with the neck ring.

Although the slave collar cannot change the slave's deep thoughts, it can force the slave to do things. For example, it can issue an order in advance: "If someone asks you if you are controlled, you must answer that you are not controlled." Such an "order" is also achievable, so Tifarian does not trust herself so much.

The current situation is that unless he transfers Lotte's ownership in the form of a contract, there is no way to solve the problem. Of course, in his opinion, if Lotte wishes this, he can't say anything even if the ownership is transferred, but the problem is - although it sounds arrogant when he says it - Lotte absolutely does not want to stay in the Paris Palace.

Ah~ah, in that case, we can only let Tifarian choose for herself, right? Ah, no, there is another way.

Ella blinked as she suddenly realized the answer, looking down at Tifarian.

"In that case... in the name of 'orders', I release Lotte Nott from all constraints of 'orders'."

The blue collar that had been hidden around Lotte's neck flickered for a moment, then disappeared. This "command" similar to the highest-level command should be enough to dispel Tifarian's doubts. When she was studying at the Holy Academy, she had heard that there was no command with a higher priority than this "command."

After being stunned for a moment, Tifarian immediately began to struggle and tried to stand up from the ground, but Luti still restrained Tifarian and prevented her from doing the dangerous thing she had done before.

"Lotte!?"

"This is my personal wish, sister, please don't hurt Miss Ella."

"but--"

Although she wanted to say something, Tifarian remained stunned. If Tifarian was an emotional and unreasonable person, she would definitely continue to doubt Ella. But if that were the case, Tifarian would not be the princess of the Kingdom of Barris. So after realizing that Loti was no longer bound by any "orders", Tifarian could only look at Loti with a complicated look.

In the messy room, only the dust in the sunlight was still floating around.

After a dead silence filled the room for at least five minutes, Tifarian let out a long sigh, dropped her rapier, and turned her gaze towards Ella.

"Could you please step out for a moment?"

"elder sister--"

There was a hint of urgency in Luti's tone.

"I already have a rough idea. I won't harm Miss Elelaya. Please wait outside for a moment."

Tifarian spoke to Ella in the business-like tone of a mature woman.

Without hesitation, Ella nodded and left the room.

Judging from the way Tifarian treated her just now, if she didn't have deep feelings for Loti, she would never have done that. So even if she left, Tifarian would not hurt Loti. What's more, she was just outside the door and could check the status at any time with the "Terrain Search".

……

Thanks to the defensive barrier Tifarian had cast, the fight inside the room wasn't even visible to the outside world. Lotte slowly released her grip on Tifarian, letting out a subtle sigh of relief before standing in front of her, who had also risen from the ground.

Tifarian straightened the sofa that had fallen into the room and pointed to the spot opposite.

"Please sit down first."

"Um."

Silence flowed in the room - Loti was waiting for Tifarian to speak, and Tifarian had no idea where to start. Now she only felt regret that was strong enough to make her stomach boil - regret for disobeying her father, Earl Lutwich, and regret for not being able to stay by Loti's side.

As if to let out all the unhappiness in her heart, Tifarian let out a long breath without any princess-like manner.

"...I already know everything about your family's downfall and your enslavement. I treated the woman I abused the same way... Although it's unworthy of me as a sister to say this... Is Lotte okay now?"

This was an expected question, so Lotte answered without hesitation.

"Well, Miss Ella is the nicest person in the world."

"...If I hadn't seen the 'order' take effect, I would have suspected that Lotte was still being controlled."

Tifarian frowned. She looked no different from the rude adventurers on the street. Rather, this was her original appearance. Tifarian stood up, slowly walked to Luti, and finally squatted down.

"Six years?... A lot has really changed..."

As she spoke, Tifarian extended her hand to Loti. Loti stepped back for a moment and then let Tifarian hold her hand up. Although her sister had always doted on her, it was only at the level of family affection and she would not do anything excessive like Iris.

Looking at it carefully, as if searching for some trace, Tifarian held Luti's white and slender hand against the pale winter sunlight and examined it carefully.

"Did that person named Elelaya use the 'panacea'? There's not even a trace left."

The marks, of course, refer to the scars left by the abuse. According to Tifarian's knowledge, only a "panacea" that can be called a miracle can have such an effect - eliminating all scars and even repairing a leg that has been broken for more than ten years.

"Yeah...yes."

After hesitating for a moment, Lotte confirmed Tifarian's words. Although she knew that it was Ella's magic called "Archangel's Kiss" and "Intermediate Healing" that restored her to her original appearance, these were things that she absolutely could not tell anyone, so it would be more appropriate to cover it up with the "panacea".

Hearing the affirmation, Tifarian's brow relaxed.

“…Is it the same as the report…?”

"Could it be that my sister already knew this in advance?"

Chapter 36: Two People on the Street

"No, the only information I know is from the time you entered the capital. Although you are a princess, it is just a superficial title."

Slowly putting down Luti's hand, Tifarian continued to add.

"What are you going to do with that woman? You can ask for anything."

"...You decide for yourself, sister."

After hesitating for a moment, Luti gave the choice to Tifarian.

If I say that I don't hate the mistress who abused me, I would be lying. I have cursed her more than once. It would be better to say that I have cursed her countless times. But now it seems that it has been a long time and I can't remember it at all. The hatred has faded to the point that I don't want to see her again.

"Really? Then leave it to me... Lotte's previous moves were at least level 15, right? She was a child who knew no magic before... Did Elelaya teach you that?"

"Well, Miss Ella asked me to study with her at the Holy Academy. I'm already level 20 now."

"Level 20? Warrior?"

"My close combat skills are the result of Miss Camisia's teachings. My main job is a magician."

Seeing Tifarian's surprised expression, Loti happily took out the magic gun. The black gun body reflected a mysterious color in the sunlight. Even Tifarian, who was a pure warrior, could see its extraordinaryness.

"Scarlet Gold Grade? You're giving away not only the 'Elixir' but also items of this rank so casually?"

Loti nodded slightly. Although Ella had never said what level of weapon the magic spear she had initially given her was, just by looking at its delicate internal structure, Loti knew that it was an item whose value could not be measured. So now Tifarian's praise made her feel very satisfied - because it was a compliment to Ella herself.

Perhaps noticing Lotte's joy, Tifarian raised her brows slightly.

"You should thank me properly later... But I'm a little shocked to see Lotte being bought off so thoroughly..."

After a moment of silence, Tifarian looked up into Luti's eyes.

"You don't blame me for not finding you in time?"

"...No, sister just couldn't find me."

Luti shook her head. There must be a deep reason why her sister changed her name and hid her identity to become the princess of the kingdom. She must have had her own difficulties for not finding her at that time, such as lack of strength or interference from other things. Although she had imagined her sister coming to rescue her more than once, it seemed like a long time ago now, and the idea at that time had long been worn away by time.

Tifarian's orange-red eyes lit up at Lotte's words, which didn't contain any accusation, and she continued the question in a tone that clearly contained expectation.

"Then who is more important, me or Elelaya?"

"...Sister, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Tifarian was stunned for a moment by what Lotte said with complex emotions. She slowly lowered her eyebrows, and her originally shiny orange-red eyes gradually dimmed. She murmured in a voice that was almost like talking to herself.

"Is that so... Well, I expected this to happen. I'm asking for trouble."

Tifarian took a long breath.

"Anyway, if Lotte wants to come back to me, you can come find me anytime. Based on your description, Elelaya shouldn't restrict you from coming back."

"I don't think... that day will ever come."

"Ah, just think of this as my self-consolation as a sister. Why do you have to follow up with this now? It wasn't like this before."

At the end of her words, Tifarian turned her head away and paced around the room, muttering to herself while scratching her hair without looking like a princess at all.

Perhaps she felt that time was enough, so Tifarian stopped and looked at Luti who had been sitting on the sofa.

"Now that we're done, let Elelaya in. Remember to tell her not to tell anyone about my condition—never mind, I'll handle the fight marks in the room."

"Can I ask you a question about my sister?"

"Hmm? What's the problem?"

"Are you aristocrat or a pro-king? And why did you hide your identity and become a princess? Didn't you like the nobles' ways before?"

Tifarian frowned at Luti's question. She stopped and supported her chin with her hand, humming softly as if she was thinking.

"First, regarding the first question, if Lotte ultimately chooses Elelaya, I can't answer it. As for the second question, I simply want to send those guys to the rack—those who framed my father, brother, and you. As for the third question, as long as I can achieve the second goal, even a temporary sacrifice is fine."

"Tell me here, aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"

"Lotte isn't that kind of person, is she? And after seeing you, my desire for revenge has faded a lot. I'm even starting to doubt whether I should continue."

Tifarian walked to the window and looked at the bustling royal city below. A slightly lonely and bitter smile was reflected on the transparent glass.

"...If possible, I really want to live an ordinary life."

"Pfft, you look a lot like Ella-san like this."

Lotte, who had been keeping her composure, suddenly smiled. Looking at this smile, Tifarian narrowed her eyes slightly and sighed deeply.

"Is that so? I see. Well, now that we've said everything we need to say, let's go get her in."

"Um."

Because Iris left the royal city early, Ella and Lotte were the only ones walking on the crowded streets.
