Nothing much on brothers. Her death was with ML since he was the one who witnessed it. I don't remember how her brothers reacted and I doubt they knew it was for them since I only knew as a reader since that part was written in her pov. For those who think the elf is 2nd ml, he's not. He has his own circumstances where he wants revenge against the emperor. His sister loved the emperor before but died for her love for him and the elves had been against the humans since then. The elf was only okay with FL given she saved him, so in return he helped her remove the curse from ML. It took a long time, possibly passed halfway through the novel when ML finally started having his curse removed. ML didn't like the elf, since initially he was jealous of him but FL told him it's to remove his curse, so ML let the elf stay at his place. After it was removed, the elf left on his own to deal with his own problems. He met up with the emperor but if I remembered correctly, nothing really got resolved on that upfront. There were 3 guys who were romantically interested in FL, the prince (don't recall if he's a prince but he's the ogML), the guy who was with the dark mages, and ML. The prince is interested but he's also suspicious of her and he had kept urging her until the end to stop lying. The guy who was with the dark mages, is pretty toxic. He's obsessed with her power and also wanted to hurt her. There were multiple times where he almost killed her. Then there's yandere ML. Agree with you. Personally I hate angst so reading this novel took me days to finish. I was recommended by two friends and I regret it. But would recommend if you love a good angst.
I am sorry,but in original he didn't kill the villainess, he asked to be killed by villainess,to die by villainess's hand
The overall atmosphere in the novel is different from the manhwa. Some lines were changed too. Spoiler During the chess scene where they said the winner can get a wish granted. the ML won and asked the FL to sit on his lap, he asked her what her wish was going to be. In the manhwa she said "You would've found out if I won" But in the novel she said "something lewd" it was so porn-y
The novel isn't lewd. That part was more of a tease than anything else. Even as other spoiler had indicated, after chapter 66 there was no more fluff. Nor was the work "porny". It was initially 15+ on KKP because of the angst more than anything else, given that now it's no longer 15+ on KKP, it could be said the novel isn't smut at all, and having read it, they never did it in the main story. ML did have S&M dreams of her but in reality they never went further and his dreams were never described to be perverted but more of a mental breakdown as he was having them when his curse was being lifted, so he kept dreaming that FL was hurting him. I believe someone is tling it already and that part she spoiled was around chapter 19. She's good? She's barely portrayed, same with the OGML. The OGFL and OG ML both wanted to help FL but she usually rejected their help. Her existence is more to portray the setting backstory about the saints.
Cutting to the change, can anyone tell me if this story has a happy ending? Reading the spoilers I'm now conflicted whether to read it or not. I hope it does have a happy ending though ❣️
It's happy since she did get revived. ***I have no interest in reading side stories so unedited mtls Spoiler: 2 It snowed all day. As if pure white snow would cover the whole world, so much. Siriena was staring blankly at the white world outside the window. Azester, who always followed her gaze, naturally looked out the window. Outside the warm hut where Siriena was, it was an unfamiliar sight with nothing but snow. It's only been a day since I woke up from a long sleep. According to her original personality, she would have had to go through all the circumstances as soon as she woke up, but unfortunately, the body that was revived from the dead did not follow her will. Siriena saw her awake and cried for a long time to Astera, who at first spoke in a cold tone of voice, but on the inside, she was kind. However, after a few hours of Aster's crying, the limit began to come. He stopped beating Aster and became tempted to stop crying, but his stamina ran out and he passed out. The day went by like that. Upon waking up, Siriena burst out laughing in shock, but Astera saw her and started crying again. He was thrilled that he had saved Siriena, but when she fainted for a moment, Astera felt like fainting. It was because of the long sleep, or even years of death, that her body had weakened as if it were crumbling. By the time Siriena woke up, he had to feel a sense of despair he had never been accustomed to for a long time. “Stop crying.” Siri Ena, who finally looked out of the window, reached out and wiped his wet cheeks. Sticky tears dripped under his thumb. Even my hands were wet with tears, so Siri Ena sighed and lifted her hands. Aster then puts Siriena on the back of her hand. to never take it off. As a damp sensation spread from her thumb to her entire palm, Siriena raised her eyes as if she was doing something. Azester rolled his eyes like an obedient dog. “……I don't want to fall.” Then Siriena rolled her eyes. “Your hands are sticky, Aster.” “……Yes." “It’s sticky because of your tears.” “…….” They asked him to let go of his hand, but Aster pretended not to hear it. Even so, he wanted to enjoy Siriena alive. If Siriena comes back to life, she decides to do anything but escape from herself, and to give up all other greed, but in the end she couldn't keep it. Looking at her, I keep getting greedy. ……Would this be okay? But at that moment, I felt a strong force pinch my cheeks. Siriena looked at him dissatisfied, pinching his cheek. Have you been holding on for too long? Are you overly greedy? okay. Now she doesn't like him. No, you will hate it. In front of Aster's eyes, the image of Siriena, who had his neck cut and stained with blood, came to mind. As the horrific memories rekindled, Astery wanted to scream. Ciri grabbed Aster's ball and my finger strength weakened. “Looks like an idiot.” Seeing Aster like that, Siriena spat out a word. “Why do you keep making a face that doesn’t look like you?” “…….” “You look a little sloppy.” “…….” “I don’t really feel the time I closed my eyes, but I guess it was too long for you.” The white, slender hand that slid out of his grasp slowly stroked his forehead, the bridge of his nose, and further down his lips. Azester trembled at the tickling and strange sensation, but did not back down. I was amazed. “I think a lot has changed even though I’ve only seen it like this.” “……Is that so." "Huh." Siriena leaned slowly against Azester. As she had weakened in physical strength, she needed a support stand, but for Aster, Anon rolled into her arms. Azester gently hugged me to Siri. Outside covered in pure white snow, and a hut safe from the cold. Siriena's eyelids closed languidly. “Ajasster.” “……Yes." “Where are you?” “…….” When Aster did not answer right away, Siriena raised her eyes. No matter how long he slept and woke up, he couldn't go out of his way to see Azera for a long time and not notice the suspicious behavior. You have something to hide. “What are you hiding?” “……I did not hide it.” “Then why can’t you answer me right away? Where are you?” “I will not hide anything from now on. If you ask me, I will answer everything. So…….” Azester buried her head in Siriena's shoulder. thump thump. Although the hearth was burning pleasantly warm, Siriena's body was cold. “You can’t leave me.” “So I am sorry.” "what…….” “I thought you would run away from the mansion before you fell in love with me. If I did, I could have thrown it out right away.” When she saw Siriena, who spoke with a disappointing tone, strength entered Aster's arms as she was holding her. Siriena saw that and clicked her tongue. No matter how obedient you are, your obsession is still there. Siriena sighed. What should I do? have to live with I tried dozens of times to throw it away, but failed. So even though he chose death, he saved himself to the end. it was resignation “Come on, my lord, Aster.” “…….” “Where are you?” “…….” “Tell me, come on.” Aster's answer angered Siriena. *** It was winter. The season when Siriena died and all life withered. After being imprisoned in a villa for a while without releasing Siriena's body, Aester returned to the Empire. Upon his return, the empire was once in turmoil. A lot of questions poured down in front of Aster. In the meantime, where have you been and what have you been doing? What happened? However, Aster did not answer the question. He kept his mouth shut as if he had aphasia. I couldn't put my body in Siri in this noisy world. However, he could not keep the body in the villa. The reason why Aster came to the Empire. It was to keep Siriena's body, and to plan a way to save Siriena's life. But the people around him did not wait for him. 'The Duke of Agernia has plucked the seeds of Fasius.' 'Isn't it supposed to be a new achievement for him who has made such a great achievement?' 'But what happened to Siriena Melport, who disappeared during the wedding?' 'Are you alive or are you dead?' As you can see, the world was noisy. And questions poured down on Aster. What has happened in the meantime? And what happened to Siri or Melfort? Aster answered him. “……Siriena.” He could neither laugh nor cry, and he spoke heavy words. “It’s dead.” Then everyone around Siriena collapsed. Siriena may not be aware of it, but she was quite loved. Azester's Great and Painful Death It was because they couldn't afford to look at other things because they were buried in the pit. *** Siriena Melport is dead. "Do not lie! Your sister can't die. I didn't believe in you! Dirty, filthy bastard!” “I will kill you! asshole! damn bastard! I will dig out your eyes and bury you in the ground!” The brothers in Melport shouted excitedly. And Mikhail Melport. He was very angry. “What did Siriena do to you? you dare... … .” Mikhail Melfort picked the breath. Being angry doesn't change anything. Knowing this very well, he tried to convince Aster. “Where is Siriena? What do you think Siriena will think if she finds out about this? It's your last chance, Aster." “……Saying that doesn't change my answer. Siriena is dead.” Because that's true. But they didn't believe in Aster. The resentment grew and the hatred deepened. Under such circumstances, Siriena's funeral was held. A black coffin without a body. Inside the coffin were pure white flowers. The atmosphere at the funeral was gloomy. The saint, who had followed Siriena quite a bit, showed tears, and some nobles looked sadly at Azester, who had promised to marry Siriena. It was all in vain. she will come back to life will make it And that winter, a terrible accident happened. *** A new emperor was crowned. The prince became emperor. The prince did not forget grace. So, he tried to make Aster the prince himself, but he did not move as he intended. Taking advantage of the silence of the Empire, Azeroth carried out his plan. the northern end of the empire. A cold place where the snow never melts. He settled there. After moving Siriena's body there... … . “Wait a minute, you mean I left the Empire dead?” A blade stood on Siriena's neck and neck as she listened to Aster's story. A face that looks absurd and disgusted. Ah Jester lowered his tail and looked carefully at Siriena. Before I died, I saw the 'future'. What's going to happen in Azera's future. So some of his stories were the flow I knew. However, I had no idea that the situation could be like this. “It’s because there are so many people looking for you…….” “So, does it make sense to have dealt with death?” “If you report the disappearance, we will go looking for you.” After answering her shamelessly, when she met Siriena's bitter eyes, Azester lowered her head again helplessly. I couldn't quite understand his way of thinking. You say you live with me... But it didn't come out of my mouth. Now that his stamina was worn out, he was tired when Aster had run wild on the road. “And the imperial warlocks were almost .swept?” “It has become a beautiful world.” “…….” Come to think of it, I also had an appointment with Cedric. I was supposed to protect the children with black magic, but I couldn't. Siriena frowned. I had to keep it now. “I have to go back to the Empire. I will see it with my own eyes.” “……Siriena.” “Teleport now.” Realizing that Siriena's eyes were filled with anger, Astera bit her lip. He had to be different. I had to be obedient and obey her words unconditionally. But this case was different. Siriena's body is different from that of a normal human. So watch the progress. Siriena jumped to her feet as if Astera, who did not know what to do, seemed frustrated. “Now, teleport.” “Ajasster.” “Siriena, that’s…….” “If you don’t do it, I’ll go alone.” Siriena turned around as if she had done it. Azester quickly got up from her seat to follow Siriena. And that was the moment. Siriena's body wobbled and leaned to the side. “……Siriena!” So Sirina. He died without a single scream. Spoiler: 3 “I will kill you!” A neck full of evil. But it also felt like a scream, as if in pain. I naturally turned my gaze in the direction of .li. The gray-haired young man looked at me with bloodshot eyes. His swollen eyes are red as if they were pouring out water. When I saw the gray-haired young man, I was speechless and couldn't keep my mouth shut. My throat was hot. like it's going to burn. A young man who had completely stripped his womb, a new kaberin I did not know, laughed bitterly. “It’s better for someone like you to die.” “I will definitely kill you with my own hands.” ……Karon. My little brother. For some reason he looked at me with hateful eyes. "Ah……. Siriena.” When I opened my eyes, I saw Aster's face, crying like a child. I was so sad that my eyes were closed. I raised my arm and wiped his eyes. “……I'm afraid you won't come back to life. It was so scary.” I think my neck and neck are a little hoarse too. “……You must not die again, Sirina.” “Are you going to die?” “……You are dead again.” “…….” Oh my gosh. I thought I slept for a long time and woke up... … . - I'm going to kill you! Suddenly, I remembered a dream I had seen before I completely lost consciousness. A very familiar feeling. ……Have you ever experienced it? When he cut his throat and killed himself, he saw Aster's future. What if I saw the future like back then? ……But you hate me . Richie was Charon. There's no way Karon can do that. Becoming a young man completely out of the tee of years. to me……. “Siriena?” “…….” “Are you okay?” “……I don’t think it’s okay.” Aster's eyes widened. Not knowing what to do, I rushed to try something, but it bothered me and I grabbed his arm. “I have a question. How is Charon?” “…….” “Maxion, Mikhail……I wonder how everyone is doing.” “Charon and Maxion get along well.” Azester placed his hand over mine, which was holding his arm, perhaps as expected. And smiled softly. “Charon and Maxion entered the academy.” "what'?" That was really unexpected. “Just in case you were curious, I found out that Karon is attending the academy with excellent grades…….” "lie. I guess my talents have changed over the past three years. You were good at lying.” “What……. Why do you think it's a lie?” “You have to make a lie plausible. Could it be that Charon has excellent grades... … .” “Excuse me, Siriena, but you are his sister.” “…….” It was clear what those words meant, so I shut my mouth. However, it was hard to believe that Charon was attending the academy with excellent grades as he said. That's because Charon was a fool who would be sad if he was the second. As long as I've seen “If in doubt, when you get better, let’s go to Charon and Maxion’s graduation ceremony together.” “……graduation?" "Yes. It seems like it is time to graduate by next year.” Azester looked at me, kissing the back of my hand deeply. “Come with me, Siriena.” “……okay." ……The Charon I saw in my dream must have been a dream. I wanted to believe so. *** “……It’s a graduation ceremony.” Astera muttered as she looked at Siriena who had fallen asleep again. He sat at her bedside, stroking her fine silver feet, constantly making sure she was alive. “What can I do, Siriena?” I made a promise, but it was actually difficult. He wasn't lying about Charon and Maxion. It is true that they are about to graduate. Azester only told Siriena the truth. Because she died and I decided not to deceive her in the future. However, there are a lot of things that I haven't been able to tell Siriena because I'm not ready yet. There could have been a mistake Aster made against Charon... … . Another of the concerns was Aster's position in the Empire. seventeen. Coming out of Melport, Azerbai firmly established his position. And the position he had built up to the top collapsed with the death of Siriena. The painstakingly built tower turned into a sand castle that was swept away by the wind and collapsed no matter how hard it was built. Siriena died, and Astera abandoned everything she had cared for. At one time, he had been secretly performing tricks on the back of the Empire, but not anymore. - A rich white man. It was Siriena's dream when she was young. It was the present Aster. “…….” It seems that somehow it has become infinitely shabby and pathetic. What if Siriena saw that all the businesses he had started were ruined... … Azera's forehead wrinkled as she recalled Siriena's expression. I felt depressed when I remembered Siriena, who was looking at him with a pitiful, dying face. 'I should have left it as it is.' It didn't matter what happened then. Even if this world perishes, only Siria needs to be alive. However, when Siriena came to life like this, the desire to look good to her abruptly erupted. 'You have to build it up again.' I don't know why, but Siriena, who had looked at him hatefully before taking her own life, was kind to him again. Of course, it is not enough to say that her current attitude is kind. There were problems, but anyway, compared to his imagination, he is kind. Aster knew that Siriena would misunderstand him. I even imagined him screaming and drawing a sword... … . Because he gave up his life and brought back Siriena, who escaped from him. I did... … - This is an opportunity that will never come again. ……so. You absolutely have to do well. I can't show any more flaws. “I’ll try my best, so you can’t leave now, Siri.” Astera squeezed Siriena's hand. It was warm. I thought I'd never feel it again... … - Every time I held on to my cold hand and faced the warmth again, I felt like crying. *** It was the first time in my life that I had been enveloped in such intense emotions. My heart ached so much that I wanted to die. He grabbed my heart and cried for days, not months. During those few months, her body grew as if she was growing up, but the inside did not grow. Even now, several years later. Charon made a riot. Mikhail, who went around looking for Siriena, saw the pony-like appearance and forced Charon and Maxion into the academy. On the first day of school, Charon demolished the Academy building. And he was about to be expelled smoothly. I wish I had been kicked out of the academy like that. The academy that Charon attended was a money-loving place. In response to Mikhail's bribe, the academy made a fuss about destroying buildings one by one when they were young. The students at the academy, who saw it, thought it was a spectacle, but trembled in fear as they anticipated Charon's next move. However, contrary to expectations, Charon has been quiet ever since. I just studied quietly. As a result, I have become a senior. Rather, the problem was something else. Maxion Melport. As Charon's brother, he entered the top class, but was pushed back to the second seat, and at some point he was ranked first in the back. This is because they submit the exam questions without solving them at all. Charon became a model student, and Maxion became a fool. “……So, Karon, are you going to take a leave of absence?” "Yes." Charon, who had already taken off her tee, silently nodded her head. “……I recommend that you reconsider. You are a senior now, and graduation is just around the corner.” "I know." “I said I wanted to take a break. Of course, it's going to be hard because I've been running non-stop for three years. But graduation is not far away.” "Fine." “It’s not okay at all. All the hard work you put in this semester will be gone! Again, think long enough…….” “I have thought enough.” The dean, who was listening to Charon, made a sad expression on his face and sighed. At first, after receiving Charon at the request of Mikhail Melport, he thought that a thorny road would unfold before him until he graduated. As expected, Charon had a major accident and even shed tears at that time. But Charon soon came to his senses and became the best student at the academy for three years. The professors and dean who witnessed such growth were deeply saddened. As Charon is now an adult, parental consent is not required and, above all, Mikhail Melfort's permission is nothing to say. “……I see. If you change your mind, please let me know.” "thank you." Charon bowed her head elegantly without breaking the rules and left the dean's office. When I left the room, there was Maxion leaning at an angle with a dissatisfied face in the hallway. Charon's eyes met Maxion's, but he quickly turned his head. “Are you really going?” Maxion was familiar with Charon's attitude. Charon didn't answer. No, I hardly ever talked to Charon since he entered the academy. But Maxion knew what Charon was trying to do. can't know Aren't we born together in a fucking boat and we've been together for the rest of our lives? Maxion whispered to Charon. “My sister is dead.” “……Shut up." Only then did Charon look back at Maxion. His eyes were sharp as if he had not given up yet. I can't be too sad My twins don't give up and try to find their dead sister. He seems to be satisfied with finding a corpse. Spoiler: 4 The snow falls without getting tired. At the edge of the empire, the Eers estate was cold enough to freeze everything. Still, it's very rare to see so much snow... … . Quick! The firewood was split in half when the ax was smashed down. Lena wiped the sweat running down her cheeks and picked her breath. A breath of emptiness floats in the air and disappears. “Lena, it snowed a lot yesterday, so I’m worried that Grandpa Max is okay.” His mother, who was picking up firewood next to Lena, opened her mouth. "Iknow, right. It snowed a lot yesterday... … .” Grandpa Max was a famous person in town. He was a kind person who worked hard to help the villagers whenever they faced difficulties. He lived in a hut in the mountains, and he was worried that it would snow a lot the night he went. “Lena, how about you go and check it out?” "Yes?" “Come and see if Grandpa Max is okay.” “I hate that!” “Aren’t you worried about Grandpa Max?” “……Not that.” Lena remembered the person the townspeople shrugged off, but everyone was watching. “In the mountains lives a mad wizard... … .” Mad Wizard'. The villagers said that to the black-haired man who lived deep in the mountains. Her beautiful appearance is beautiful enough to attract everyone, but she is well aware of the fact that she should not fall for that face. Reminiscing on the first day he came to the village, Lena's eyes grew bright again. His mother looked at Lena like that, as if pathetic. Lena's stern gaze made her doubt whether it was her real mother. “Aren't you worried about Grandpa Max? How much has he helped us? Stop worrying and go away.” In fact, not everyone in the village knew about the mad wizard. Those who did not see the maniac were treated as vain. Lena's mother was one of them. “Okay, I’ll go.” Lena grunted and gripped the ax tightly. If you don't know, let's go get a weapon. *** Lena climbed the mountain. Carrying a heavy axe and food for Grandpa Max, which is heavier than the axe. Lena's hair tied behind her back fluttered sharply like a whip. 'You have to be careful.' It snowed a lot last night, so I had to be especially careful not to fall. Lena carefully climbed the snow-covered mountain. When I finally arrived at Grandpa Max's cabin. 'crazy.' Lena was shocked. The hut was shattered. The roof collapsed, the inside of the house was a mess with intrusive snow, and the sight of broken wood chips everywhere was bloody. 'Grandpa Max!' Lena screamed and ran into the hut. “Grandpa Max! Are you there? No, please say no!” I looked around to see if I was buried in the snow, but it doesn't seem to be. 'Then where did you go?' I haven't seen anyone in town lately with Grandpa Max. I suddenly had a bad feeling. There's no way a mad magician wouldn't be able to do that. 'But Grandpa Max... … .' He would often make the eccentricity of handing chocolates to a mad wizard. Let's see what he did on the first day he came to this town. “Anyway, where are you……！” Lena hurriedly wandered around and wandered around the hut. However, there were no souls in this place covered with snow. After walking for a while, Lena noticed that she had come close to where the madman was living. As I backed away, I saw footprints that had just been taken. I was bewildered if it was a maniac, but when I looked closely, it was a woman a little smaller than me. 'Woman?' She wiped her heart away, thinking that maybe the woman might know where Grandpa Max is. Lena ran in the direction the footsteps continued. And at the end, Lena saw the goddess. A pure white woman wearing a bright red cloak. It was a beautiful woman standing with her wavy silver hair hanging down inside her new Little Red Riding Hood hat. Lena looked at her as if possessed. She had never seen such a pretty woman in her life. This shock was what I felt when I saw the mad wizard. "Who are you?" The woman's mouth opened. Her eyelashes, as white as hair, trembled when she saw her. Are you guarding me? "excuse me……It is dangerous to be here.” At Lena's worried words, the woman asked. “Is it dangerous?” “Hey, around here…….” Lena instinctively lowered her neck. I said to the woman in a lowered tone. “……A mad wizard lives around here.” “……Are you a mad wizard?” “Yes, I am crazy. It's dangerous to get caught by him. You better get out of here before he finds out.” “…….” You don't believe me? but. Few people believed that mad wizards lived in the mountains. However, contrary to Lena's thoughts, the woman, Siriena, was only absurd. 'You're a mad wizard.' I'm sure it's Aster. How did you happen to hear such a thing? “Oh, right! Have you not seen a single grandfather here?” “Grandpa? I haven't seen anyone here but you." "Ah…….” Where the hell did Grandpa Max go? Lena nodded her head in distress. "okay. I'll just go see. Before the mad wizard comes, you go too.” “…….” “You don’t know the way, do you?” "no. I live close to here.” close? Lena was puzzled, but didn't ask further. I've never seen a woman like that in town, but that's not what's important now. I had to find Grandpa Max. "Bye." The white woman smiled softly and waved her hand toward Lena. It shook the heart of the same woman, Lena. it was terribly beautiful 半 半 水 It has already been over a week since I woke up. And how many times have you passed out during that period. No, I've been told to die and live many times. Every time he woke up, he faced Aster's crying face. Even just waking up. Aster looked at me nervously as soon as I closed my eyes. “Stop crying.” I pinched Aster's cheek, crying in pain. He laughed out loud about what was good. "Do not laugh. I hate to see you smile.” Yet he laughs. Time has passed. Aster was unconditionally looking at me and tried to match me one by one. to the point where it looks sloppy. As a result, there were no problems with each other. At first I was going to return to the Empire, but my condition was not perfect, so I decided to stay here until I was healthy again. ……And my family wouldn't want to see me sick either. When I get a little healthier, I'll go see them. Thinking about the day we will meet again makes me feel better. 'By the way, I didn't know there were people in the forest.' Like a woman looking for an old man named Max, people often pass by this area. Aster said that he would go somewhere for a while because of an emergency. 'I just need to return before Aster comes.' I'll be back soon, so it'll be fine. However, expectations were completely wrong. When I returned to the hut, I saw Aster, who was crying with tears in her eyes. “……Why are you crying?” Embarrassed, I couldn't even enter the room. Aster came over to me, rubbing the corners of my red eyes. He tried to back off for a moment, but Azester was one step faster. Aster hugged me tightly to prevent me from going anywhere and buried her head in my neck. It was quite heavy when it was loaded with weight. Now my body is not as good as it used to be. The sickly body couldn't handle Ajester, so he tried to push him away. If only I hadn't heard the whispers in my ears. Oh really. “Why are you crying?” “…….” “You know I have to tell you. stop crying Noisy and heavy.” “…….” Perhaps in response to the word loud and heavy, Aster immediately fell. “So why are you crying?” I asked, wiping the tears from his eyes. “……Siri." “Why are you crying more?” Azester began to cry more sadly, like an abandoned dog. What's the matter? Spoiler: 5 Aster's face frowned as he continued to cry silently. Then, Aster started to cry as if she was sad. It must have been the wrong choice. I had no choice but to comfort Aster as if it were a child, but after a while, Aster stopped crying. “Then why are you so lucky?” “……I thought it was abandoned.” "what?" “I thought you had abandoned me.” Now that I was a little relieved, Aster hugged me and exhaled. "go away." I pushed Aaster away, but he hugged me tightly as if he wouldn't give up this time. When he was stubborn, he became annoyed and decided to give up on getting rid of it. My body wasn't the same as before, and it was hard to move even a little, so the annoyance increased. “But where have you been?” “……I went to the capital for a while.” Aster, who buried her head in my neck, said languidly with a sleepy neck. “Well, I must be busy. You always had a lot of work to do.” “…….” Come to think of it, Ajester's situation in the future I saw was not good. Do you want to get better now? Could it be that I left everything behind for the three years that I had died? At some point, I must have come to my senses “Are things going well?” “…….” “Why aren’t you talking?” “……Oh, it's going well." Azester answered awkwardly, as if he had been stabbed by something. What's wrong? Noticing that my expression had changed, Aster quickly put on a gentle beauty. As if there was no problem. “You don’t have to worry about anything.” "okay. You must be doing very well.” “…….” “Why can’t you speak?” “……it's nothing." I didn't ask any further questions from Aster, who was showing a shaky look. What's wrong? Well, if it goes well, I'll tell you vaguely. 'Let's not ask more.' “Aaster, stop crying.” "I'm hungry. I mean, I have no luck.” At those words, Aster looked at me in amazement. “Wait, you now……！” I said I'm going to do it in moderation now, and Azerbai hugged me in a flash. As he looked at him with surprised eyes, Aster opened his mouth. “You said you had no energy.” “……Isn't this overkill?" “I’m sorry, Siri. Let’s go eat quickly.” Aster grabbed me and sat me down at the table. I was going to resist asking him to get off on the way, but as he said, I didn't have the energy, so I drooped and leaned on him. Aaster stood in front of the table and faltered without dropping me off. "what are you doing?" He floundered without answering my questions and put me down. ……What did you do? As Aster, who put me down, went to prepare a meal, my doubts naturally disappeared. What I learned here was that Azester was a good cook. After eating, I fell asleep like crazy. As Aster looked at him with worried eyes, he said it was okay and closed his eyes. Even if I die like this, I was afraid that Aster would really save me. *** Aster has been out often since then. I often go out in the morning and come back in the morning. Aster looked at me, but I had no idea. I guess I'm just busy with work," he said. Aster was busy every day. So I fell asleep without seeing Aster yesterday. I woke up for a moment, and I found Azester hugging me from behind and sleeping soundly. “……Aster.” I couldn't move and felt uncomfortable because of Aster, who was holding me tightly with a blanket wrapped around me. “Aaster, wake up.” “……no." Aster muttered quietly and hugged me tighter. he was out of his mind To make me like this and to sleep comfortably. "wake up." “……Ugh.” I pulled one leg out of the duvet and kicked my Aster. What was unexpected was that Aester could not resist once and fell out of bed. How did Aster's hard work and care of me show like this? Is it too healthy to be healthy? Startled, I removed the blanket and looked up at Ajester, who had fallen under the bed. Aster was also surprised, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at me. “……Siri?" The absurd neck and neck are calling me. I had no intention of dropping it under the bed either, so I coughed in embarrassment. “……That's why I told you to stop." Embarrassed, shameless excuses came out of their own accord. Still, I'm glad Aster didn't look sick. In the afternoon, after the morning of each other's embarrassment, Azester was ready to go out. Before leaving, Azester urged me as usual. “Siriena, you must never use magical powers by any chance.” "okay." “Your body isn’t perfect right now, so if you make a mistake…….” "okay. Because I know.” After seeing Aster, I sat down at my desk. 'It would be better to write a letter.' I promised to see my family in good health, but everyone will still be concerned. I brought a pen and paper from Aster's room. What would you like to write? So I struggled and groaned on my own, and in the end I wrote one line. I'm fine.] Oh my. I think I'll believe you're doing really well. I frowned at the letter. No matter how much I think about it, I don't know what to write. My time is still there from 3 years ago, but it has become awkward since I wrote a letter to them after such a long time. First of all, there is no Jeju Island where I write letters. It was me who responded to Aster with three lines when he sent me a letter that was five pages long. [I'm fine. I hope everyone is doing well.] I had a lot of questions about my family, but strangely, only two lines were written. When I thought of them, I was so overwhelmed with emotions that it was partly because I couldn't move my hands easily. “……ha." I sighed and put down my pen. I couldn't figure out what to do. 'You seem to have gotten pretty healthy though.' Has the frequency of falling have decreased? So, can't I go see you? If Aster knew what I was thinking, it was drawn in front of her that she would be very opposed to it. The more I stayed here, the more impatient I became. I think it would be good to talk again when Aster returns. If it was an old Aster, you wouldn't pretend to have heard it, but now... … . He seems to be trying to change too, so why not worry about it? It was a time of thinking alone. rattle. Wherever I heard something crashing. “……Aster?” Feeling popular, I turned around and asked, but there was no Ajaster. I got up from my seat and looked around. The dimly lit room was softly lit by candles. I looked carefully at the hut. There was no one in this. Did you hear it outside? I put on the thick cloak that Aster had brought, opened the door and went out. A fierce blizzard blew, and he frowned upon the penetrating cold. 'I heard it wrong.' It seems like it Because there was nothing but a hut in the open snow. 'When will Azerbai come?' As I was about to enter the hut again, I felt a cool sensation behind my back. The moment you want to look back. puck. Something heavy hit his head. *** Prince's birthday. The banquet was held more splendidly than ever before, as if to show off the one and only prince of the empire. All the famous musicians of the empire were invited and started playing in one of the banquet halls, and the atmosphere grew even more ripe. And today, the prince, the main character of the banquet, felt very good. Three years ago, after he, who was a prince, killed the emperor and ascended to the throne, there has not been a peaceful day. The imperial palace always blew blood and wind, and the battle of nerves with the princess who was aiming for the throne did not cease. In such a situation, the Duke of Aggernia, who had supported the prince, abruptly abandoned everything and went into hiding. And the condition lasted for 3 years. The current situation in the empire has become very unstable. Who said that the Duke of Agernia was the emperor's puppet? Does it mean that my country is shaken by the disappearance of a certain puppet? There were a lot of parts where the Duke of Agernia was involved in the empire more than I thought. The things that Aster held in one hand and shook were not going to be safe when the owner went mad and disappeared. For three years, the empire was in constant chaos. Now barely moving on a stable trend, the empire was still in chaos. Although the Agernia, Aytes, and Melfort families have made great contributions to uprooting Fasius, remnants of warlocks remain and continue to cause problems to raise Fasius. The problem didn't stop there. A situation in which neighboring countries are looking down on the chaotic empire for a long time. The emperor had a headache. But today was different. “Today is a very special day for Jim.” The emperor gave a congratulatory address announcing the start of the banquet, and laughed happily. A small baby was held in the emperor's arms. “The Empress gave Jim a very special gift. How did you know that such a blessing would come to me?” The emperor loved his one and only son terribly. He wanted to make this child emperor. However, it will not be easy because the power of the princess is strong. The emperor remembered the cards he had discarded before. 'If only there had been a Duke of Agernia... … .' If he had been his strength, things would have been easier. But it's useless now. “This child will be…….' And then. The banquet hall suddenly became chaotic. The emperor frowned. Such rudeness during the emperor's congratulatory speech... … “Ah, the Duke of Agernia eats it!” The emperor's eyes widened at that. Spoiler: 6 Duke of Agernia. He has always been the center of inquiry. Whatever it was, he returned to the main axis. That was until three years ago. As soon as the rumors spread that he was crazy, Azester went everywhere. No one had seen him in the banquet hall for three years. The relaxed expression that always had a smile on his face disappeared and his face looked like a corpse. That was the last time he saw Aster that was engraved in the Emperor's mind. I did... … . "this." The Duke of Aggernia started his first fortune with a smile as he did three years ago. “It was late for some reason.” “…….” “I see you, Your Majesty.” I put my hand on my heart and bowed gracefully without breaking the rules. The emperor and the nobles looked at Aster like that, as if looking at a corpse. He looked surprised at the appearance of the Duke of Aggernia. Only the new nobles who had never seen Azester blinked, not knowing what was going on. Ajaster looked around the banquet hall slowly and saw the baby in the emperor's arms. “You are a very smart prince.” “…….” “I prepared a special birthday present for the prince.” Aster's actions were leisurely, as if he did not care about the atmosphere around him as if time had stopped. At Aster's glance, his servant immediately moved. The attendant approached the emperor and handed him a piece of paper tied with a ribbon. The emperor, who took the paper, untiedly unwrapped the ribbon. “It’s a magic stone mine.” At Azester's words, the nobles took a deep breath. magic stone. It is a rare and high-value ore used to operate the magic tools of the empire. Handing it over to the emperor? “I prepared it because I thought it would be okay if the prince could play with it as a toy by processing the magic stone.” “…….” “Again, happy birthday, Prince.” Only the young prince, who didn't know anything yet, grinned. The nobles watched the situation in silence. “……Oh my gosh. It's a magic stone mine." “Your Majesty the Duke of Agernia…….” To give something as precious as a magic stone to use as a toy for the prince... … . To be able to pass over that precious Magical Stone without any hesitation means that it really means nothing to Aster. But didn't the Agernia family decline three years ago? However, the keen aristocrats thought differently. Aster started moving again. Perhaps the main axis of the empire may change. *** What kind of situation is this? I was annoyed and pondered the current situation. I heard Lee outside the door, so I went out, and someone hit me from behind and knocked me out. When I opened my eyes, my whole body was tied up like this. “Are you out of your mind?” Seeing the man who made me like this and asked if I was crazy, I thought about whether to subdue him right away. But. - Siri or by any chance, you must never use magic. Aster's request was taken. 'Even if you die here anyway, Aster will bring you back to life.' just stay still I wasn't really afraid of the situation right now. “What kind of relationship do you have with the wizard who lives here?” The wizard must be referring to Aster. But what the hell was Aaster doing? It was pretty annoying. “Can’t you just look at it? If there is a woman in a man’s house, he must be a lover.” The man who bound me chuckled and spoke back to the man who held the ax to my neck. The man who held the ax to my neck, ignoring the man who bound me, pushed me to answer. But I had nothing else to say. Because I don't even know what to say. “If it’s a lover, it’s worth threatening the wizard.” "Threat……?” “Don’t you know Mrs. The lord put a huge bounty on him. So this morning the town turned upside down.” ……Aster's future bounty. What does this really mean? My head was already starting to throb. “……What the hell did that wizard do to get you a bounty?” “I’ve been asking how you are going back to the village. From the looks of it, you don't think he's from this town?" Being a non-resident of this village also played a part, but after waking up after 3 years, I had no way of knowing what was going on in the world. “Because the wizard killed the lord’s father.” “…….” “The lord is giving a large sum of money to anyone who brings a magician living in the forest this morning, so who wouldn’t be coveted?” Once again, I realize that something truly unimaginable is happening in the three years since I died. These men looked like they were taking me hostage and threatening Aaster. And unfortunately, it's pretty difficult for me to use magic right now. 'Will I die?' If I die, those men will leave me. It's become a corpse, and it's no longer worthwhile to me. Aster will be surprised, but he'll take care of saving him. Since so many flagship-worthy things happen, I am now calm in front of such a situation. “But the lady is so calm.” “…….” “Do you believe the wizard will save you?” I think it's unreasonable to come to rescue me now, no matter how much Azaster. “It’s good to let go of that thought. The villagers are preparing to catch the wizard.” "Ready……?” "Hey. Don’t talk too much.” When the man who held the ax in front of my neck spoke without hesitation from before, the man who bound me stopped him. Then, the man who held the ax shut his mouth. I sighed inwardly. I don't know what they're preparing, but it won't work for Aaster. 'You'd better leave this place.' If Aster is coming today, let's talk seriously. It wouldn't be a bad idea to ask him to go see his family at this time. That was when I was thinking. Knock Knock Knock Knock! The window shook violently. The two men looked out the window for a moment, but their gaze did not stay long. It was time for them to look at me again. smart. A knock was heard outside the door. “……what?" "Who is it?" The men stared at the door nervously. “Isn’t the wizard back?” “…….” The men fixed their weapons. Waiting for Aster to come in. However, even after time passed, Aster did not come. “……Did I hear it wrong?” “You go out and check it out.” At the words of the man with the axe, the gaze of the man who bound me trembled and he nodded. The man who bound me went out of the hut. And the man did not come back after a long time. “……Lady, stay here.” When the man who bound me didn't come back, the man with an ax in front of my neck went out. What's going on? Suddenly, the scream of a man holding an ax was heard outside. ……It really looks like something is going on outside. As I was listening to the voice outside, the door opened and someone came in. “Aaster……?” *** It was so cold that the wind blew into my bones. It was cold even though he was already dressed thickly, and Maxion rubbed his red cheeks and glared at Karon who was walking ahead. “Why the hell did you come here?” “…….” “Hey, Karon! Can't you hear me? You came all the way, is this like this?” The village of Ers was famous for being the coldest place in the Empire. He never understood why Charon had come here. “You followed suit.” At Charon's cold reply, Maxion wrinkled his brow. I was worried, so I followed him, but there was nothing he couldn't say. 'I came here for nothing, really.' Siriena died three years ago, and since then, Charon seems to be in danger somewhere. He became less talkative and his complexion darkened. One unfortunate thing is still there, but... … . Still, I was worried, so I followed it, but it must have been nothing to worry about. Maxion grunted and followed Charon. Each time, it was cold as if my feet were buried in the snow and I felt like I was going to freeze. After walking along for a while, Charon stopped. Maxion was about to ask Charon why he was doing this, and then turned his head to follow where Charon's gaze had reached. It was a sign that Charon was not going to give me an answer, so I was going to check it with my own eyes. The place Charon was looking at was a snow-capped mountain. Why over there? While looking at Charon and the mountain alternately, Charon's mouth, which had been heavily closed, finally opened. “Go back, Maxion.” At those words, Maxion immediately noticed. There's something there. "no. Isn't it funny to ask you to come back after following me all the way here?" “Don’t waste your time like a child, and if you want to go back, go back.” “There’s something over there, I want you to go back.” When Maxion didn't want to go back, Charon frowned in frustration. I sighed and headed towards the mountain. "do it yourself. Because I'm dry." “Why are you drying it?” "Well." Charon shut her mouth firmly as usual again. Whatever you see there, it's up to Maxion. Even if it's Siriena's corpse. Spoiler: 7 Three years ago, the winter when Siriena died. That winter was engraved in Charon's memory and became a day he will never forget for the rest of his life. Even three years later. Charon couldn't admit that Siriena was dead. Poor and pitiful older sister. Something must have happened to him for sympathizing with that bastard and freeing him from brainwashing. Maybe he's trapped and bound by that crazy guy somewhere. After Siriena's funeral, Charon returned to the mansion. And immediately packed up. "What're you doing?!" “Hey, where are you going!” Ignoring the cry of the bewildered family, he left. To find Sirina. For three months like that, I searched for Siriena without losing hope. Ah. It would have been better not to look for Siriena then. Then I couldn't have seen that filthy thing. *** The two men who were binding me disappeared outside. An intruder was heard entering the hut. “Aaster……?” The room was dark and I couldn't see well. However, the shimmering Inyoung……. “……There, are you okay?” It was a woman's neck and neck. “……I am Lena Seeing some crazy niggas drag you inside.” The woman took out a handkerchief, wet as if soaked in water, and showed it in front of me. “I gave him some sleeping pills, which stunned me for a while. Anyway, it’s not like this, it doesn’t last long, so run away for now.” The woman hastily untied the ropes that bound me. I looked at her blankly. I didn't know I could get help from someone I didn't know. When the ropes were untied, a woman grabbed my wrist and lifted me up. “Hurry up.” “…….” “You never know when they will wake up? Hurry up.” At her urging, I had no choice but to follow her. Aster would be worried when he saw me gone, but it seemed better than staying here as the woman said. You'd better stay away until Aaster comes to find me. I didn't worry about how he knew how to get to me. I can save people, but I can't find myself. “Where are you going now?” “Okay, I have to go to town. It's dangerous to stay here. And I don't know what you're up to with this crazy wizard... … .” The woman paused for a moment. “This morning, the lord sent me a wanted bounty in front of the wizard. So you'd better not have any affair with a mad wizard." “Did the wizard kill the lord’s father, so the wanted bounty came down?” These were the words of the men who wanted to take me hostage earlier. At that, the woman frowned, stopped her hastily steps and looked back at me. “You know what to ask?” “Why did the wizard kill the lord’s father?” “How would I know that? Had he known, the wizard would not have been a madman.” Why the hell did Aster do such a thing? Aster doesn't normally act so recklessly. ……It would be impossible to return to the hut anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the village to find out. After going down the mountain for a while, I saw a village. My body hadn't fully recovered yet, so I was short of breath and dizzy. Still, where is it that the pick hasn't collapsed like before? “Lena! Haven't you seen Grandpa Max?" As I went down to the village, a man who appeared to be a villager pretended to know the woman who had brought me. “……Yes, I didn't see it.” “Great. Where did you go old man? My body isn't strong either. by the way……Who is the girl behind you?” “I don’t mind.” Lena pulled me in as if trying to protect me from the man. Ignoring the grumbling man, Lena walked on. As I was following the woman through the village, a piece of paper stuck to the wall caught my eye. When I stopped tall, Lena followed me back. “It’s a wanted letter.” I narrowed my brow as I looked at the wanted Aster. why are you hanging over there Still, I'm glad that the painting didn't match Aster's face. I sighed and opened the bounty badge. “You can’t rip it off!” Lena was startled and yelled, but I didn't care and ripped the paper on the wall. Lena stared blankly at my actions. “……Do you know what you are doing now?” “I don’t know.” “It’s a paper attached by the knights of the lord! If you rip it off, you will be caught.” "it's okay." “It’s okay, it’s okay!” Does the lord of this village know that the people they wanted are the few dukes in the empire? Rather, if this fact is revealed, I am more worried about the lord's safety. "Hey! What are you eating now?” “……ruined." Lena, who was standing next to me somewhere around Richie's neck, let out a sigh. Two men in knight uniforms approached me. “They are knights of the Lord.” Lena saw this and whispered softly. “That’s why I don’t rip it off…….” “If I break it, will I even go to jail?” “……Didn't you hear me a while ago?" “Then I will have to part with it. Thanks for helping out.” The knights were viciously blindfolded, but it wasn't that scary. I didn't feel much of a crisis because I died once and came back to life. It was the moment waiting for something to happen. He saw familiar gray hair passing by in the distance. “……Karon?” It was a moment to say his name blankly. My arm was pulled tight. The strong force shook her body. “Hey, miss. Where are you looking now?” “…….” “Are you sane to dare to open the current endorsement that the lord directly ordered?” I was distracted by the man pulling me. But my eyes were fixed on one place all the time. It seemed that Charon was passing by from afar... … . They couldn't have been here, but strangely, they couldn't be dismissed as illusions. wanted to check “Hey girl, are you listening to me?” “Let go.” "what'?" “Let it go.” At those words, the man's face turned red. The man applied force to the hand that was holding my wrist, as if he was trying to force me. power entered my eyes. I ignored Aster's warning and used magic for a very long time. “Aww!” With the man's scream, the strength of the gripped hand and ears weakened. I ignored the man and ran. In the direction you saw Charon and Maxion. .I wanted to call them rich, but the cold wind that blows in me seems to be strangled. Lee did not He simply stretched out his hand, hoping to reach Charon and Maxion. Perhaps it was the result of repeatedly reaching out and bending their fingertips, they reached. I made a beauty full of joy. And finally opened the clogged neck and neck. “Caron!” Charon looked at me with a surprised face as if answering my call. *** no Sirina Returning to the hut, Aster looked at the empty hut for a long time. No, it wasn't exactly a completely 'empty' hut. Two men were lying in the messy hut. But for Aster, without Siriena, this space is nothing more than an empty hut. The two men got up from their seats, moaning as if they had just woken up. The two men, who had been dreaming and dreaming, met the eyes of the cypher Aster, and only then became aware of the situation. “Where is the woman?” Contrary to the jumbled and confused mind, the words came out calmly. But the horse was as cold as frost. I realized that I had made a mistake I shouldn't have made because of the huge bounty. How could you dare to kill such a person? The only thing the men who could not breathe properly could do was beg for their lives. But that wasn't what Aster was hoping for. “I asked where you were. Was that such a difficult question?” “……Mom, I don’t know!” "I do not know?" With Aster's lively eyes, the men hurriedly told the truth about what had happened. “……Ah." In the boiling heat, Aster exhaled slowly and looked up at the ceiling. will you kill me Dare, my Siriena. Slowly lowering his head again, Azester drew his sword. Then the men screamed. Azester thought as she looked at the soiled hut. Did you mean to kill me outside? Siriena will hate it. And I didn't want to leave Siriena in such a dirty place. Azester thought as he left the hut. Should I relocate? The steps to find Siriena were light. Spoiler: 8 The former lord of Ers was a very greedy person. As a result, the villagers suffered quite a few injustices. Then, three years ago, one day, a wizard suddenly appeared and killed the lord of Ers. The greedy lord died and the village seemed to be a little more peaceful, but a son who looked exactly like him ascended to the position of lord. The situation did not change in the slightest. either that guy or this guy. It was a word commonly used by the villagers of Ers when referring to the lord. “……How did you get to this point?” The Eers estate was a freezing cold village far from the capital. no one is interested And the greedy lord did not deserve this fact. A little town far from politics. The lord did not know the capital's nobles well, but... … . Hypron Aites. This man was the only exception. If you don't know the Aites, one of the four great families in the Empire, you're probably a spy. “I was contacted all of a sudden, so I couldn’t prepare to serve you properly, so I’m just asking for forgiveness.” It was definitely a good thing that the head of the Aites family was visiting the rare Eers estate. However, the lord could not welcome Hip Fron so purely. 'Maybe you noticed.' what you are doing “If you have read the letter, you will understand, but this is the road that you pass while subjugating the North on the orders of His Majesty.” “If everything went according to plan, I wouldn't have to go through the village of Eers, but the heavy snow fell, and I had no choice but to stop by for a while. So there is no need to worry.” Hyphron, who stopped by the Eers estate with my knights sweating profusely, said calmly. It was an expressionless face that was difficult to read at all. 'That fact'。] There is no way that it was known. Then, it is true that the road was blocked by heavy snow... … . Hypron Aites had a point. Couldn't it really be a passing road? It would be nice if you didn't really know 'that fact', but I wasn't worried about getting caught. 'no. Maybe this is an opportunity.' Despite his worries, the lord was overjoyed at the fact that he had reached such a connection with the 4th Duke of the Empire, whom it seemed like he would never be able to reach for the rest of his life. “Drink inside. I will see you at ease.” *** “Caron.” He grabbed the hem of his robe, calling out his friendly name. But there was no response from the man. I slowly lifted my hand and looked at the man I called Charon. The face was hidden by pressing the robe deeply, but the face he saw at first glance was obviously Charon. Maybe I misunderstood? I miss you so much? If you look closely, the physique... … . Charon wasn't that tall. He was obviously of similar height, slightly taller than me... … . He had one head taller than me, and his wide shoulders looked like someone else. Isn't that Charon? I think you should check your face... … . “Let go.” neck and ribs are rough It looked like Charon, but it had a slightly different neck. Because the Charon in my memory was a young neck. The harsh neck and back shook the arm that had been caught by me. The rough feel of the hem of the garment that had escaped my hand remained on my fingertips. I took my hand from the man. “Excuse me.” Seriously, there's no way it's Charon. It's strange that Charon is here. And there's no way Charon is so cold to me. “Get that girl right now! How dare you do tricks on the knights of the lord!” Annoying neck and neck rang from behind. As if filled with anger, the knights drew their swords and were approaching me. Should I stop going now? I was about to turn around from the man who mistook him for Charon, but his wrist was grabbed. Surprised, before even looking back, his body was pulled back. “What are you doing…….” “Well, this time it looks pretty real.” The man who pulled me harshly whispered in my ear. A sarcastic neck .li stuck in my ear. Is it real? what is that? “Are you one too!” The knights who came all the way to my nose saw this man and I stuck together and got ripped off. Maybe it was because I was attacked with the magic I used for the subject that came to catch me, so I couldn't approach Charon hastily. It was funny to see him trembling while holding his sword nearby. 'So, am I okay?' Aster said not to use magic, but she couldn't help it. “I’m sorry I misunderstood, can you stop now? It looks like you're tied together." It was a huge mistake to mistake this strange man for Charon. “Aren’t you going to let it go?” The man grabbed my wrist tightly as if he didn't want to let go. I panicked and looked at the man. “Ah!” Power entered the man's hand holding my wrist. It felt like it was about to break my hand, and it felt like it was cracking my body like a statue. He wanted to shake off the man because of his sense of danger, but it was difficult to do so because of his growing strength. Shall we use magic again? There were no major abnormalities in the body, so that would be good. The moment he was about to use magic to escape from the man, a cold wind blew through his skin. At the same time, the thin hoodie worn by the man was excited. For a moment, seeing the man's face revealed, he was unable to say anything. “You don’t know if you are real, do you?” "what?" “Then you have to break it. you dare... … .” What are you talking about now? The face that was clearly revealed at first glance was Charon. No, it was a face that resembled Charon. The face, where the youthful tee was exposed, suddenly became thicker and the jaw line became sharper. But I don't think it's the Charon I know. It's not strange to believe that they're just similar people. But, as if that wasn't what I was thinking, a different cry came from somewhere. “Caron!” “…….” I looked at the man in amazement. The face of the man who called Charon from afar was a face I was familiar with. Even though his lines were sharpened, his former appearance remained intact. Maxion. “Caron! I told you to wait... … !” The man who saw me, Maxion's face hardened. I also looked at Maxion without saying anything. "sister……?” “Mac, si…….” The moment when you want to call out his name as if in response to him. Pasasak- Like a sand castle collapsing, I heard something collapsing. Come to think of it, it seems that the wrist that Charon held on to me didn't hurt at any moment... … . what? The moment I looked down, I couldn't say anything. My body was crumbling like a porcelain doll shattered. The shattered body turned to powder and flew in the wind. parsak. crisp. My body was constantly breaking apart. like shards of glass. Glittering powder was scattered all over the place. I stared blankly at the situation. “Aww!” Surrounding people watching this bizarre situation screamed. A woman surrounded by powerful knights in this town. Everyone was astonished at the sudden occurrence while watching what was going on in the dark with curiosity. “Hey, monster! It's a monster!” "you you……！ A monster has entered the village!” The knights who surrounded me gave me strength to hold the sword. “What is this……Maxion, who looked at me, dazedly licked his lips. I couldn't say anything. My body gradually crumbled and flew into dust. It was a cancer battle. *** Where the hell has Sirina gone? Is it okay? Although I heard the explanation that he ran away with the woman who suddenly appeared. I was not reassured. Originally, this hut was barricaded so that no one could access it. However, Siriena wakes up and Ajester breaks the barrier. It was because Siriena's body was abnormal now, and it was quite dangerous if she was exposed to magic. Still, I thought it would be okay because I was deep in the mountains, but these three months will come. It was too easy. Ajaster rebuked himself and hurried his steps. He said he ran away with a woman, so I was sure there was a high probability that he went. And it wasn't long before Aster found the footprints of the two women. The village we arrived at was confused. “Aww!” “It’s a monster!” a monster? I had an ominous vibe. I don't know what's going on, but I guess I'll have to go to Siri and not get caught up in it... … . When I unconsciously stepped towards that direction... … . Aster found Siriena breaking. Ah. It was the horror I felt then. Spoiler: 9 Azester grabbed Siriena, who was breaking with her weak footsteps. Why the hell did Siriena look like that? … . Excited emotions subsided and plunged into abyss. I've been out of breath It felt like I was going crazy. But he couldn't stay still. Hurry up and get her back... … . “You bastard…….” He only cared about Siriena, so he didn't know that Charon and Maxion were there. Aster met Charon's brightly shining eyes and gaze. Why are they here? I know Charon and Maxion are at the academy. “Isn’t there quite a bit left until graduation?” Hearing Aster's murmur, Charon wrinkled her brows. Maxion, who did not know what was going on in this situation, only looked at Siriena, who was shattering in a frenzy. “Kar, Karon……- Nu, my sister... … .” Charon sighed as she looked at Maxion, who couldn't even breathe properly. I didn't want to bring it with me for fear of this. What we feared actually happened. damn it Charon truly regretted bringing Maxion. “……Isn't that a wizard?" People were startled by the words of one resident. Then the wind blew. A cold wind blew past the floor, and the papers that had been fluttering were also swept down. Then someone picked up a familiar bounty from the floor. The wizard depicted on the bounty didn't even match half of that beautiful appearance, but in a cool corner, he resembled it. "You're a wizard... … .” “Then maybe a magician can find a woman……!” “But the bounty…….” Seeing the huge amount written under the face on the bounty, someone swallowed saliva. If you catch a wizard here now, you can live your whole life in awe. At that thought, someone immediately looked for something that could be used as a weapon, or tried to run into Aster. However, when he saw the bright purple eyes, he did not dare to jump. flat. It was the same with the knights of the lord, who were helping out in this village. If you defeat the wizard, you will receive a considerable reward from the lord, but the hand holding the sword trembled for that. However, they did not enter Azester's nerves. I had to fix Siriena in a hurry. It would be difficult if she was completely broken like this. If a person could die of nervousness, this would be how it would feel. Azester hugged the broken Siriena tightly. It would be nice to teleport to the hut, but I can't. If she moves with Siriena, her body will be completely shattered under the influence of his magic pulse. But it's too late to go back to the hut. At that time, the inn entered Azerbaijan's sight. Azester headed towards the inn as if possessed. The innkeeper, who had come out to check on the turmoil, stepped back in shock. But soon the innkeeper realized that the wizard was coming this way and hurriedly picked up the broom. He swung his broomstick as if he was trying to watch this inn with it, but the wizard looked at it indifferently. Should I shout for help? All thoughts ran through the innkeeper's mind. However, words that were completely different from what the innkeeper had expected came out of Azester's mouth. “Take it.” With those words, a thick pocket flew out of Aster's hand. The innkeeper instinctively grabbed the heavy pocket and opened it. And there were a lot of gold coins in it. The innkeeper stared blankly at the gold coins, then came to his senses and looked at Aster. “I’ll give you five minutes. If you empty this inn without anyone in it, I will give you ten times more.” ten times... … ? It was a car I thought I could live on for the rest of my life with the gold coins I received now, but ten times……. “What would you like to do?” There was nothing to count. The innkeeper was just about to answer me. “If you agree to that, I will consider you a wanted criminal and an accomplice!” “Summary execution!” The knights of the lord who had never been helped in this village shouted. Aster smiled at him and opened his mouth. “We’ll take care of it too.” Simultaneously with those words, Aster pulled out her sword. Cold air erupted from the sword, and the knights shuddered at the terrifying sensation that they had already been decapitated. They instinctively realized that they could end their lives here if they were installed like this. Azester smirked at the helpless knights and looked at the innkeeper again. “I will ask you again. Can you empty the inn in 5 minutes?” “……Ha, you can.” The innkeeper grabbed the money bag and ran straight into the inn. And to my surprise, I really got all the guests out in 5 minutes. As Aster entered the inn with satisfaction, she looked around stiffly. And the knights who were hardened like stone statues and trembled in his eyes came in. "there." “Yes, yes?” “Keep this front so no one can approach you.” At those words, the knights had a blank face. “I, we are the Knights of the Lord…….” "okay. It would be very honorable if it was written as a knight of the lord on the tomb.” The knights became as pale as corpses at the words that they would kill them if they did not obey their orders. “Ha, I will…….” Aster smiled contentedly. Then he went inside the inn and looked back as if he had remembered something. “Your sister will be sad to know that the kids who are about to graduate soon are here.” Charon's eyebrows twitched at the words that stimulated his teeth. Only Maxion, who had not been shocked after meeting Siriena, was dazed. It was full of things that did not make sense in common sense. "go back." Leaving only those words behind, Aster turned around. thud. The inn door was firmly shut. Everyone gathered here stared blankly at it. *** My head was pounding. It felt like a raging flame inside my body. I couldn't come to my senses, and I blinked blankly. Red water splashed in front of me. Come to think of it, when I first woke up, I was in red water……. Thinking so blankly, my body was pulled towards me. I got out of the bathtub and saw a man holding me in his arms. “……Aster?” “Siriena, are you out of your mind? Are you all right?” What happened? I must have met Charon and Maxion... … . I looked back at the hazy memories as if in a fog. At the too unrealistic memory, he leaned his head on Azester's shoulder and smiled. “Aaster, I think I was having a strange dream.” “……dream, right?” "Uh……. Charon and Maxion appeared in my dream.” Is it because of my mood that Aster's body hardened at my words? He blankly wrung his arms, and his body seemed to have stiffened. “……Siriena.” "Huh?" “Stop touching.” As he rolled his eyes at Aster's unanswered resolute words, his face was wide open. Ah. I lifted my hands from Aster's arms. “And that…….” "it?" “It won’t be a dream.” At those words, my hazy mind seemed to have cleared up and my sleep slipped away. I came to my senses and grabbed Azester's arm as if pinching. “What does that mean now?” Isn't it a dream? “Charon and Maxion are at the academy.” I heard from A Jester that there was definitely a graduation ceremony coming up. But why the hell are they here? I didn't quite understand. “Are you sure you deceived me?” like 3 years ago? He said that he would never deceive me was also a lie. I felt a slight betrayal towards Aster, and he hurriedly grabbed my shoulder. "no. I didn't lie. They were really at the academy.” "then?" "but…….” Aster was hesitant to speak. “But there is something I haven’t told you.” I felt ominous. Azester looked down at me with her head down, like a dog who knew what was wrong. “What didn’t you say?” “…….” “Tell me, Aster.” There were only a couple of things I wanted to ask him. I can't forget the expression on Charon's face that met me. I happily catch him, but why the hell does Charon look at me like I hate him and say I'm a fake? Aster said they thought I was dead, but that wasn't my reaction to seeing the dead come back to life. “Siriena, won’t you leave me?” Azester grabbed my arm eagerly, as if trying to confirm it from me. It was so detestable that I shook off his arm. “Even if you ask for forgiveness, say it and beg.” “…….” “What good is all this before you hear it? is not it?" *** The innkeeper had a happy face, hiding ten thick pockets in the safe. I will no longer live in such a wretched inn. The wizard really handed him ten times the amount of gold coins. Who said the author is a madman? It is better than the lord and his knights who do nothing but persecute. The innkeeper lifted his hand from the safe and prepared to move the hearty meal he had prepared. The wizard told the woman to prepare food for her when she woke up. The innkeeper paid great attention to quality. It was the first time in his life that he prepared food with such high-quality ingredients. The innkeeper put food on a tray and went up to the wizard's room. I knocked and tried to enter, but when I realized the door was open, I slowly opened the door with my foot. "I…….” The moment you open the door and carefully call the wizard. A sharp cracking sound was heard. “Crazy bastard.” A slender woman who could not even reach the tip of a man's chin slapped a man called a maniac on the cheek. The innkeeper immediately closed the door and left. I hope to come back next time. Spoiler: 10 Maxion stared blankly at the inn where Astera had entered the broken Siriena. flat. He was quick to grasp the situation, but this time it was not easy at all. It was when I was shopping for a while at the general store. I was told to wait for a while, but Charon has disappeared innocently. Belatedly, I went outside to find Charon, and Siriena, who had died, was with Charon……. And suddenly my sister broke... … . "crazy. What the hell is this?” “…….” “Hey, Karon. What the hell is this?” Confused and going crazy, Charon kept her mouth shut. Maxion seriously thought about grabbing Charon by the neck, but he also seemed to have lost his mind, so he decided not to. “I should have killed him…….” Then Charon muttered a little. "who? Aster, the guy?” "no. The kid was holding it.” If that bastard was holding... … . “Are you Siri? Are you crazy? What are you breaking now?” Thinking of Siriena reminded me of my body that was shattering again. ……In the first place, is that true of your sister? Because of that, even though I saw my older sister alive for the first time in three years, I couldn't approach her easily. “Who is your sister? That's not my sister." Charon said to Maxion, who was confused. It was Charon, who had lost her emotions after Siriena died three years ago. But now, his face rarely showed emotion. “……What if it's not your sister?" At Maxion's words, Charon laughed weakly. “Something that needs to be broken.” And that was one of the purposes of coming here. *** It was three years ago. Charon searched all over the continent in search of Siriena. My sister isn't dead until the body comes out. Charon did her best to find Siriena. Aster, who had been with her until the end, was the most suspicious, so I followed him undetected. And found the hut where he lived. It was really hard to find because it had a magic barrier. In the first place, I wasted weeks not realizing that this was a barrier. I thought they were going round and round in the same place, but I wasn't mistaken. Charon tried to break the barrier. After spending so much time, the barrier was broken. Charon liked that he had broken Aster's barrier. stupidly. I didn't even think that Azester had personally released the barrier. Charon entered the hut with the intention of saving Siriena. It would have been better if I hadn't seen 'it' there. “……No one.” Charon murmured in the dark hut. “Siri noona, are you not there……?” There was no answer from inside. Charon was starting to get annoyed when she didn't get anything from the dark hut. And then, with a sound like scraping metal, a door was opened from somewhere. A reddish light came in through the crack in the open door. Charon entered there as if possessed. And there……. "sister……?” Perhaps, I will never forget the sights I saw there again. Siriena was there. No, there were a lot of Siriena's. Like porcelain dolls, Siriena fell while walking and broke and shattered horribly. The broken body was like glass. Glass shards splattered around the fallen and broken Sirienas. The floor was damp. The dolls swam there as if the red water was a mountain of them. “……This is it.” My mind went numb. He staggered as if he was about to fall, but at that moment, something pulled the hem of his bar from underneath. At that moment, it felt as if the cold was seeping through my body. As I bowed my trembling head, a doll that copied my sister's face, and a doll with a half-broken face. “Kah, uh……Roo... … .” The pronunciation was muffled, but the doll certainly called out her name. "hook." At that moment, I couldn't stand the disgust and the nausea soared. “Wow.” Charon, who had covered her mouth with her hand and vomited in vain, collapsed. Mixed with the fallen and broken dolls, he vomited. Fragments of the doll were strewn under the hand that touched the floor. The sharp shards tore the delicate skin, but Charon didn't even know he was sick. “What is this…….” “Is the question cleared up now?” A long, thick shadow fell behind his back. I was able to forget that disgusting neck and neck. Noona said what was pitiful for a guy like that... … . Charon wiped his lips and staggered to get up. But he couldn't get up. My body kept slipping, probably because of the mysterious red water that soaked the floor. No, it wasn't that he actually slipped and couldn't get up. Just Charon couldn't get up now. I felt like crawling into that deep darkness. “……What is all this?” Charon burst into laughter as she saw the doll that resembled her older sister hanging at her feet. A thick stream of water flowed from his eyes. Azester looked down at Charon with an indifferent expression. “I probably didn’t come here because I wanted to hear an answer.” “…….” “I came here to see this. is not it?" The figure of Aster with her arms crossed and smiling at an angle was delicate and beautiful like a sculpture, but to Charon, she only looked like a demon. The Duke of Melfort bore four children. And raised one more child. Even the descendants of blood did not resemble the Duke of Melfort... … . “Crazy bastard.” It was crazy just like my mother. Charon staggered and stood up. No, I had to get up. “Crazy bastard.” Karon smiled sadly. The small sound of laughter grew bigger and bigger. Aaster watched the figure still. Charon, who was laughing, stopped laughing and frantically smashed the dolls in the shape of Siriena. I watched quietly. Charon drew his sword and smashed the doll and smashed it. When she finally broke the last doll, Charon didn't have the strength to laugh, even in disappointment. He just dropped the sword he was holding while breaking the doll and sat down together. “……Sister, where are you?” “…….” “Ask where you are, motherfucker!” Aster, who was quietly looking down at Charon, smiled slowly. “It’s mine.” "what……?” Violet purple eyes were revealed through the black hair. The beautiful face smiled softly. “It’s mine. Don’t touch it.” It was brutal as if he was going to kill him right away if he touched it. Her beautiful face suddenly turned into madness. No, in fact, it may have been dyed from a very long time ago. It's been months since I've been looking for Siriena. Charon had no choice but to return. I had no idea that such a futile and terrifying ending would await. When Mikhail saw Charon getting into a fuss when he returned, he brought him into the academy with Maxion. It was because I thought that if I went far away, I would be able to forget even a little of this sadness. But Charon never forgot that day. Even after three years have passed, I have not forgotten even a single moment of that feeling. Rather, the emotions at that time grew stronger and made Charon stronger. Even at the cost of his own death, he will bring back Siriena's body. *** “Crazy bastard.” An unbearable rage surged when he heard Aster's story. I slapped Aaster's cheek. Still, the anger didn't go away and he slapped the other cheek. Azester stood without dodging or blocking, and stood still as I struck him. His face was half resigned, as if he was prepared for this situation. That was amazing. “……What did you do?” “…….” "Say it. you have a mouth Why can't you speak?" I asked Aster why Charon reacted like that when he saw me. Aster, who was conflicted with my question, opened his mouth with a hint of hesitation. When I heard all the stories like that, I felt a great shock. “I knew before then that you were experimenting to save me.” “……how." I knew it because I saw the future. In the future I saw, he was constantly tormented and broken. It was so pitiful that sympathy took precedence over hate, and I decided to forgive him. “But I didn’t know your experiment would be so disgusting.” “Siriena, that’s it. When you die, you have no choice but to create a new body... … .” "okay. That's right. But why did you show it to Cha Ron?” My head was pounding. There are only a couple of things to consider, but there were so many twists and turns and the content was quite shocking, so no words came out. “……It interfered with the experiment.” “……You call it a horse now?” “……I'm sorry." "no. Yeah, that's really……That’s a plausible reason.” He no longer had the strength to be angry with Aster. I floundered on the bed and stood still, distraught. “……Siriena.” “…….” Azester sat down on one knee and met my gaze as I sat on the bed. Aster looked up at me with a sad face. "sorry." “…….” “I was all wrong.” I asked in frustration as I looked at Aster who begged me to do something wrong. "Hey. Aster, is this body mine?” Spoiler: 11 The glowing sunset has set and it has become a dark night. The lord prepared a hearty dinner for Hypron and his knights from afar. It was a time when the dinner table was ripe for a long time. “Lord!” It's been a while since I was wary of Hypron Aites. Fascinated by Hypron's fame and his family, the lord was crouching to win his favor. The servant in a hurry called him. When the ripe dining atmosphere was cut off, Yeongju sent a sharp gaze as if rebuking the servant. “My servant has been rude, sir. I will punish you... … .” “You are being punished for this. Fine. Please feel free to talk.” The servant was terrified at the lord's words of punishment, but the gentle tone of Hypron Aites loosened the tension slightly. However, the lord still did not hide his angry eyes. “It must not be in vain that you have dared to summon me to an important event.” At his words, the servant shrugged and approached the lord. flat. It was an urgent matter because the lord was concerned about it. "That is…….” The servant, who was watching the guests at the dinner table, whispered carefully into the ear of the lord. “The wizard who didn’t come down from the snowy mountain is now…….” The servant saw and heard what had happened in the village and reported it to the lord. Then, the young man's eyes opened wide. "what? You mean that madman is in the village inn now?” There's a guy who seldom comes out of the mountains at the village inn. This was definitely an opportunity. Yeongju resolutely lit up her eyes. "What's going on?" At that time, Hypron Aites stopped his hand slicing the steak and looked at the lord. Oops, upon hearing the surprising news that the wizard was in the inn, he forgot that Hypron Aites was here and raised his voice. "That is…….” The lord hesitated for a moment, but the thought that this moment might be an opportunity passed by. Hypron Aites is a legendary figure. Previously, he was a heroic figure, but he became a legendary figure after slaying the warlock group Fasius. In the case of the Melfort family, who wiped out the family together, the former head of the family died and the dignity was not as good as before, and in the Agernia family, the married woman died and the head of the family went crazy. Currently, Aites was the family that came to mind the most. If you use that Hypron Aites to catch a wizard... … . “In fact, there is one problem in our estate.” “Is it a problem?” "Yes. Three years ago, one day, a mad wizard suddenly appeared in this estate... … .” Three years ago, the lord, who did not know that Hypron Aites had reacted to those words for a moment, had sad eyes. “I murdered my father, the former lord.” “…….” “After that, he always caused trouble and wanted a bounty.” “Why haven’t you caught him yet?” “It’s not that I didn’t catch it, it’s that I didn’t catch it, sir.” Because those words were true, Yeongju made a single face. Three years ago, the lord had no intention of killing the wizard who would kill my father. It is because fear came as if choking when thinking of the moment when we met the wizard's blue eyes. But now three years have passed. The fear that was engraved in his mind gradually diminished like a rock being eroded by the waves. “I am ashamed to say this, but no one in the realm can catch that mad wizard.” The lord looked at Hypron Aites with a desperate face. After realizing what he wanted, Hypron Aites nodded slowly. “I have been treated like this, so I will help you.” “……dismissal. How am I supposed to repay this favor? … .” "no. Now that I have been helped, I deserve to help.” The lord called for joy in his heart when Hypron Aites said that he would come forward. Now, if you deal with that wizard, you won't have any anxiety at night. *** “Lift higher.” “…….” “Just put your hand down there. I won’t leave you alone.” I said sternly to Aster, who stood on both knees and raised both hands. Aster, who was in a standing posture, carefully looked into my eyes. Even if he put the bee up like that, he didn't get angry, so he had Azerbai hold the heavy jar in the inn. “I’ve been doing that all day.” At those words, Aster nodded helplessly. I turned my head to the meal the innkeeper had brought me, glaring at Aster. I don't even have much taste. “You must eat, Siriena.” “…….” “You can’t go hungry even if you don’t have an appetite.” “I didn’t allow you to open your mouth. Quiet." It was funny that Aster insisted on my meal even in the midst of her guilt. I lifted the spoon to eat. My reflection was reflected in the clean silver spoon. -Aaster, this body is mine, right? I looked at him carefully, wondering if he would hesitate to answer me like before, but Aster answered right away without hesitation. - Your body. not another body. Previously, it was Aster who hesitated when asking questions that were difficult to answer. It's been a long time since Aaster had her emotions exposed on her face. 'After the brainwashing, I just cheated.' Aster himself seemed not to be deceived by me. 'It's a problem because it's hidden.' He shuddered as if he was aware of his mistake. After eating, I got up from my seat. Aster opened her eyes as I moved and looked at me. “I’m going to wash up. In the meantime, don't put your arms down and stay there. okay?" Aster nodded her head with a sullen face. When I came out after washing for a while, Aster continued to stand with her hands raised as I said. I let him hold a heavy jar for quite some time, and his arm didn't seem to hurt at all. Is this really worth it? “Didn’t you secretly lower your hand?” “……no." Looking at Aster's genuinely unhappy face, it seemed that wasn't the case. Beulser lay down on the bed, looking at Aster, who looked gloomy like a child. “Come down when I fall asleep.” “…….” “Don’t get off until then.” Aster did not answer, and looked at me. As I raise my eyebrows, Azethter laughs softly. Embarrassed by the unexpected reaction, Aster opened her mouth. “Siriena.” “…….” "Love you." “…….” "Sleep well, my love." I was taken aback for a moment by the sudden remark, but I turned around pretending not to hear. upset What should I do with Aster? 'I can't throw away something like that dog... … .' Even if you throw it away, it won't be thrown away. I closed my eyes to fall asleep. The complicated mind and chaotic consciousness interrupted his sleep, but he could not overcome his weakened body. Suddenly I fell asleep. It was dawn when I woke up again. The lights went out and the room was dark. I was tossing and turning to go back to sleep, but I couldn't move on my own. “……Siri, are you awake?” It was natural for me to feel uncomfortable with Aster holding me from behind. “Who wants to climb up on their own?” “But you didn’t tell me not to come.” “Are you saying that now?” As the tone of her throat and neck rose from absurdity, Azester closed her mouth. He quietly buried my face in my neck as if asking for forgiveness. His breath touched his bare skin and it was hot. “Siriena.” "Huh." “You can’t leave me.” He hugged me tightly as if he would never let me go. I took a deep breath as my body tightened tightly. “You know, Aster.” "Yes." “I have already abandoned you many times.” “…….” “But you, you did not admit that I gave up and back down. Have you ever been there once?” Aster was speechless. I guess I know myself. “Since you can’t speak, you know that. 'Do you think I'll be abandoned by you?'" “……Siriena, I.” As if he was speechless again, there was no reply from him. I thought that the conversation was over and I was about to close my eyes again, but then my neck. Lee heard. “……I just wanted to be with you. That’s it.” “When are we going to get married?” “When you get married, you are together for the rest of your life.” "Well. I think I'll get a divorce if I see what you're doing." It seemed like he was about to burst into laughter when he saw Aster, who had been speechless for a long time. “……I love you, Siriena.” "Huh." Now I really close my eyes to sleep. When he wakes up, he will go to Charon and clear up the misunderstanding. If you tell me what happened in the past, I'll understand even if it's confusing. i believe *** “……Siriena.” “Siriena, you need to get up.” I have always had a weakness for sleep, especially after my body became weak. My body longed for something better. “……Siriena.” "no. a little bit…….” “Are you having a hard time getting up?” “……Huh." A moan, a moan, a moan, as if in trouble, was heard from above. But as I fell asleep, I dismissed what I heard as a dream. “I love you so much, Siriena.” “…….” “Excuse me for a moment.” While I was sleeping, I was startled by the sensation of my body floating. When I lifted my heavy eyelids, I saw Aster holding me. “……what are you doing?" “I’m going through the back door.” “……what?" “Hide for a moment. You can sleep there.” I couldn't figure out what the situation was, and I was bewildered, but Aster laughed as if not to worry. “……What is the danger now?” “It’s worse than dangerous.” “A bad situation?” Aster replied with a smile as if he was in trouble. “Hypron Aites has arrived.” Spoiler: 12 warm Astera hugged the sleeping Siriena and groaned. It was a warmth that Siriena could never feel when she died. Every time I touched the cold Siriena, I felt a dead warmth and cried every time. But now... … . live. “……uhm.” Siriena let out a moan as if it was bothersome to keep rubbing. Aster was startled, observing the sleeping Siriena, and got up from her seat. "Sleep well, my love." Azester wiped out Si Liena's disheveled hair with a remorseful hand and left the room. It seems that Siriena's body has recovered, so it would be better to leave here quickly. There's nothing good about staying in town for a long time. As a proof of that, the knights of the lord have arrived from the early morning. Azester looked out the window with cold eyes. I was going to take Siriena out early in the morning, but I'm afraid I'll kill them all this early. Then it would be really easy. Aster thought of me in Siri in the room. I don't want to see blood in front of Siriena. “Wow, that’s a big deal!” Then the innkeeper wept and ran to Aster. “Wow, the knights of the lord……！” Even though the amount of money he received from Azester was so great that he handed over the inn, the innkeeper's face became half regretful. “Ma, sorcerer, you promised to get rid of them…….” “I will keep my promise, so don’t worry.” Before leaving this village, he was planning to go out with a lord. I was going to get rid of it right away, but I didn't because I didn't want to grow the business until I saved Siriena. “Listen to wanted criminals! I already know what is in it!” Azester stood with her arms crossed and looked out the window. The knights of the lord shouted at the inn with their shrill necks. “I don’t want to grow a job! Your life is now over, so come out of it! Then I will send it to you comfortably!” What are you going to do now with a topic that you haven't been able to deal with yourself until now? It was so funny that a wretched beauty was drawn on Aster's lips. The innkeeper, who had been watching Azester anxiously from the side, saw it and his face went blank. He looked a little crazy, but his face was really beautiful. It was because of the knight's neck that the innkeeper, who had been looking at Aster as if possessed, came to his senses. “In order to subdue you, a noble person from the capital stopped by. It will be the last time to close your eyes on your actions!” Are you from the capital? Aaster looked out the window. Azester narrowed her brow to the fiery red hair she had not seen in a long time. “Hypron Aites…….” It's a boring relationship. “Ah, Aites isn’t the family that defeated the Warlocks!” The innkeeper jumped up in surprise after hearing Aster's murmur. He was about to die, as if he regretted being in the same boat with Aster. “Ooh, what do we do now, wizard!” Seeing the innkeeper making a loud noise, Azester turned back. Things turn tiring. I left it to sleep, but I think I need to wake up Sirina. “Me in Siri.” “…….” “Siriena, you need to get up.” Siriena rubbed her head on the pillow, feeling tired. The figure was so lovely that Aaster looked at her for a moment. It was so noisy outside, but Siriena sleeping without knowing the world was so cute, too. “……Siriena.” "no. a little bit……? “Is it hard to get up?” “……Huh." I hated waking up to seeing her so lovely. It shouldn't be like this. Can not help it. I'll have to hug her myself and hide her. As if surprised by his subsequent actions, Siriena woke up late. Azester calmly explained the situation, and Siriena's red lips parted slightly in surprise. How ugly is that look? “……Why is Hypron Aites here?” "Iknow, right. I was going to subdue the North and return to the capital, but I was very surprised to suddenly come here.” “Are you really surprised?” "sure. First of all, I have to hide you so that the author can't see you... … .” On the map of the inn that I had memorized yesterday, I remembered that there was a warehouse near the back door. I'm going to take Siriena out there. “Wow, that’s a big deal! The knights are breaking down the door now!” When the innkeeper hurried into the room, trembling with fuss, Aster made a troubled face. “Siriena, I can’t help it.” Aster put her down carefully so as not to hurt her. And whispered softly into her ear. “There is a warehouse at the back door. It's hiding there. You know?” “……okay." “If you have a problem, call my name out loud. Then I will run.” Upon hearing his words, Siriena nodded and left the room. The innkeeper's eyes widened and he looked at Aster. “Why is that girl…….” “We have to go get ready for the guests.” “……Cow, guest.” The innkeeper seemed perplexed, but now the only thing he could trust was the wizard in front of him. It wasn't this year that he was overflowing with leisure, but he had no choice but to believe that there was definitely a way. *** It wasn't just because of the heavy snow that Hypron Aites came to Eers' territory. The heavy snow subjugated the north of Pu, which would have been just a good excuse, and found out that the monsters that occurred there were a problem caused by the Warlocks. When he was the son of the warlocks who caused trouble, Hypron unexpectedly heard a story from them. They say that the lord of Erus is supporting them. To find out if that was true, he stopped by the Eers estate. So far, there doesn't seem to be anything very suspicious about it. “It’s snowing a lot.” It snowed a lot in the northern part where he was, but it also snowed a lot in Eersu territory, which is not far from him. Hypron frowned at the town covered in pure white. On a snowy day, I think of a dead woman with silver hair that was almost as white as snow. The woman always had a surprised face when she saw him. When he saw the woman's angry face, Hypron Aites was enveloped in strange emotions. And I didn't know what it was until after she died. Incomprehensible, he wanted to see the woman's smiling face. “It’s all over, sir. It is right here.” The knights of the lord of Ers stopped in front of the inn. “Listen to wanted criminals! I already know what is in it!” How did you kill the former lord? What kind of little boy is he? He was quite a madman when he asked him to open the article and listen to the stories of the villagers. Besides, I don't know if the commotion that happened yesterday in town is real... … . Suddenly, the silver-haired woman broke and a wizard appeared. Rumors circulated that wizards killed women or created monsters. He suspected that he might have something to do with the Warlocks, and Hypron went out on his own in the end. “I know you are there, so there is no use hiding! Your magician... … .” "stop." Hypron ordered the shouting knight outside the inn. “It looks like you don’t even want to come out, so stop doing meaningless things and go in.” At his command, the knights were ready to break the door. When Hypron quietly raised his hand to the knights who were ready, the knights moved. "charge!" With a loud sound, thump! thud! thud! It sounded like a door being smashed. As the knights appeared and became noisy, the villagers began to snore. The knights paid no attention to them and concentrated on breaking the door. And then. The moment when the knights rush towards the door with a beat. The old wooden door opened. “Aww!” “What suddenly!” The knights suddenly lost their balance and fell to the open door. Hypron frowned at the sight of the knights of the lords falling unsightly. I felt it before, but the knights were not well trained. “Such. It hurts a lot.” With a familiar neck and neck, Hypron raised his gaze more at the fallen knights. This neck... … . The tired, familiar face looked at Hypron and kicked the knight who fell unsightly. “Uh-huh!” The knights went mad at the kick. But they shouted if it was reassuring to have Hypron Aites behind their backs. “Your deeds like this will end today!” Aster looked down at such a knight and said, built Hypron Aites frowned. A laugh full of leisure that I saw after 3 years. He was a man who had forgotten how to laugh after the woman died. “Long time no see, Duke of Aites.” *** I hid in the warehouse at the back door, as Aster told me. Suddenly, Hypron Aites came. what is this... … . 'But why should I avoid it?' As I was hiding on the wall of the warehouse, I suddenly had a question like that. Why should you avoid it? You would only know that I was dead, but it's strange to see you alive. Come to think of it, how is Azester going to reveal to the Empire that I am alive? When I thought about it, my mind became complicated. when you sigh bang! There was the sound of something breaking outside the warehouse. Leaning comfortably against the wall of the warehouse, I looked at the warehouse door with my nerves focused. I heard footsteps approaching this way. widely. The warehouse door shook and light came in through the crack. Unexpectedly, I checked to see if anything in the warehouse could be used as a weapon. -If there's a problem, call my name out loud. Then I'll run At that moment, I remembered the words Aster had left. Soon I shook my head. That's really a last resort. Now that Hypron Aites is here, I have decided not to. The door to the warehouse opened slowly. I grabbed the broom tightly and prepared to wield it with the intention of stunning anyone who came in. As soon as the door opened, I was about to swing the broom, but I stopped moving because of an unexpected face. ……why are you "that……' Surprisingly, he was the first to open his mouth. “……Is it your sister?” It was Maxion. Spoiler: 13 The feeling of facing Maxion in an old warehouse was shocking. He was no different from me. “……Maxion, why are you here?” “…….” Maxion didn't answer for a moment. When he sees my face, he acts like an idiot as if his head has gone white, and then his face is distorted as if in anger. “……Then why are you doing this here?” “…….” “Why, why didn’t you say anything while still alive……. Why were you here pretending to be dead?” “Maxion, that’s…….” “Didn’t your sister never think of us?” There was a look of resentment in his gray eyes. Seeing Maxion's reddened eyes, I quietly reached out and grabbed his hand. “It’s not like that. Something happened.” “What is the matter?” Hesitatingly, just as he was about to answer his words, he heard the sound of clashing armor and heavy feet. Did the knights of the lords come in here? “Come here, Maxion.” "no. I’m not going.” He was startled by the resolute response, but kindly coaxed him. “Come on, Maxion.” “No…….” “Nice, my brother. Come on.” After all, the word “kind” is very effective in soothing children. He quickly grabbed his hand and dragged him into the old and cheerful warehouse. As soon as the overgrown Maxion entered the warehouse, the inside became cramped. I realized that I had already become an adult while I was away, and I laughed bitterly. My neck and ribs were angry, but I was a little happy that she was just like a young child I remember, who meekly followed as I led. “I missed you a lot, Maxion.” When he smiled brightly and hugged his body, Maxion's body hardened. The covered hand that embraced my back together trembled slightly. 氷 半 water The knights who came together to subdue this mad wizard with Hypron felt a strange current. I thought the appearance of the legendary hero of the Empire would scare even the mad wizard... … . Rather, seeing Hypron, the mad wizard greeted him with a carefree beauty. “Long time no see, Duke of Aites.” People who are not familiar with Hypron Aites cannot say such a thing. Surprisingly, the knights of Hypron were the same. Except for the young knights, all the other knights were with Hypron for a long time. There's no way they wouldn't know Aster. He wondered if his eyes were wrong, and he was confused as to why the Duke of Agernia was here, and why he was called a madman and was the subject of subjugation. “……Why are you here?” Hypron frowned at the absurd situation. In the meantime, he did not make the mistake of invoking the title of Aster. Because I thought it would be best not to tell the people here that that madman was the Duke of Agernia. “For once, Duke of Aites, it would be good to send those knights back.” Azester slowly looked around the knights Hypron had brought. And among them, there were knights of the lord who had been ordered by Azester to protect this place yesterday. As soon as they made eye contact with Aster, they immediately averted their eyes. In response to the herbivore-like reaction that encountered the beast, Aster smiled softly. The knights in the cold beauty were frightened and retreated, but they realized that Hypron Aites was in front of them and stood with their shoulders outstretched. “I asked why are you here.” “Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be here?” “You probably don’t know what I mean. It's quite questionable why you're here as a subjugation target. Can I search the inside?” “I will decline.” Anyway, he was a tired little boy. Azester stood firmly in front of the inn, as if he had no intention of moving away. Hypron Aites narrowed his forehead and glared at Aster, who was standing with his arms crossed. “I heard what happened in the village yesterday. You must make sure the woman you took is safe. So get out of here.” “Women are safe.” “How do you ensure a woman’s safety from a maniac like you?” Mad Duke of Agernia after his fiancee died. And yesterday he embraced, the beautiful silver-haired woman that was broken. Neither Hypron nor Azester had any intention of backing down, so the confrontation was prolonged. Hypron was planning to go by force if Aster's refusal to the end. After reading his thoughts, Aster sighed and stepped aside. “If you say that you want to check it out like that, I have no choice but to do it. Come in.” Pretty annoying little guy. Azester and Hypron looked at each other and thought so. As Hypron Aites entered the inn, the knights of the lord followed them with impatience. On the other hand, strangely, the knights of Hypron Aites looked at Azester. So the search began. Azester leaned against the inn wall and stood with her arms crossed, watching the knights do the sheep. If there was a knight trying to open the warehouse door, he was going to use magic without anyone knowing. “……How do you know that wizard and hero?” “Hero?” I immediately realized that it was a title for Hypron Aites, but it was a really odd title for Azester. Aster knows how Hyphron Aites sees Siriena. Isn't he an ugly and twisted little guy like himself? It's funny that such a person is a hero. Eventually, the search was coming to an end. In other words, the search was over and nothing came up. Even the woman in question. “……Oh, nothing!” “Aren’t there any women?” "That's right!" Why is there no woman? The knights of the lord stopped for a moment and felt a question as they looked at Hypron Aites thinking. Can't we just subdue the wizard? “Where is the woman?” Hypron looked at Aster. Aster doesn't seem to want to tell me. built Hypron exhaled as if exhaled. It's always been like this. It's a ridiculous idea to ask this man in the first place. “I’m leaving today.” Judging by how relaxed he is, it seems that he has hidden the woman somewhere. Hypron looked out at Azester. The knights of the lord followed such Hypron, bewildered. “That subjugation…….” An ignorant knight asked Hypron and received a stinging glance. Azester pretended to see Hypron off and immediately closed the inn door. And hurriedly headed to the warehouse where Siriena was hidden. “Good job, Siriena.” It must have been boring for a long time. Ajaster thought of Siriena, who must have been difficult, and opened the warehouse door. But there was no one there. Siriena is gone. Aster's face hardened. *** “……So you mean that your sister got hurt while dealing with her and woke up after 3 years?” "That's right." “And Charon is looking for her sister, and she sees the strange things Azester has done to heal her and acts like that.” He nodded as he looked at Maxion who was arranging the situation. Now I'm on my way to where Maxion is staying with Charon. When the knights approached, he decided that it was dangerous to be in the warehouse, so he and Maxion sneaked out the back door. There were knights guarding the back door, but that didn't matter. This is because Maxion put him to sleep with sleep magic. “……So, sister, what was the one that just broke before?” Maxion, who recalled that time, carefully grabbed my hand, as if afraid that I would break again. "that…….” “I have ears too, sister. It happened yesterday, and I went around asking the villagers about this and that.” Maxion looked around for fear, but he didn't seem willing to back down until he heard the truth. “I was very sick. Because he was injured until he died, and it was difficult to treat... … .” I gave up hiding from Maxion to some extent, but I had no intention of telling you that I had died once. how would you say something like that “So, Aster’s magic almost saved me, and in the process, my body got a little weird.” “It got weird and my body just……Does it break like that?” “I’m getting a lot better, so don’t worry.” “……How could I not be worried?” Seeing Maxion smiling bitterly made my heart ache. “Still, I’m really glad that my sister didn’t die. Aster, I don't know why that damn bastard said his sister was dead... … .” Even thinking about it again, Maxion clenched his fists as if resentful. It was not unusual for Maxion to punch a fist when he met Aster now. Obviously, even if Aster had crossed the road, it was a long way over. “Thank you for being alive, sister.” He laughed very happily. Even the cloudy sky seemed to clear up like a mist, as if representing Maxion's mood at this time. “I am glad to see you again.” “Did he not do anything to your sister by any chance?” “It didn’t go away. but…….” This was the part I was most worried about. “I think Charon misunderstood me because of what Aster did.” “Somehow he kept saying it was weird.” “It must have been very shocking. Even now, I want to clear up Charon’s misunderstanding, but I want Maxionne to help me.” “Of course I need help.” Unlike a while ago, who had a serious face, Maxion walked side by side, touching my hand. It was the same reaction as Aster, who kept stroking me when I was alive. Is it that good? Unlike Aster, Maxion was cute and patted his head. Your smiling face is so cute. It's hard to find a corner that has grown over and over again, but to my eyes, it always looked like a child like before and now. “There you are, sister. With time, everything changes.” When Charon got closer to the place where he was staying, Maxion suddenly broke his luck. “This and that changes, and some of them change too.” "However?" “Karon is a bit……has changed.” Maxion said it was difficult, but that was expected. “It seemed like the last time I saw it.” "Huh…….” Charon's transformation was fully understood because he had heard from Aster. That part was sufficiently prepared. So I arrived at the place where Charon was. It's time to clear up the misunderstanding. Spoiler: 14 Where is Sirina? Azester pondered as he grabbed the empty warehouse door. It didn't take long for the answer to come. Did you go to see your brothers? It was the only place Siriena could go. And since yesterday, he had an anxious face... … . His palms slowly pressed against my chin. “……You're leaving without a word, Sirina." What if Siriena doesn't come back after meeting Charon and Maxion and getting mad again? Frightened like a child, he stared at the empty warehouse. “That wizard……7 At that time, the innkeeper, who was sneaking up to Aster's side, opened his mouth softly as if he could hear him. “Now what should I do…….” Aster slowly opened and closed her eyes. Didn't Siriena do that yesterday? Even if she abandoned him, she always failed to abandon him. Recalling her words, Aster smiled softly. The innkeeper watched the wizard's lips soften gently. Admiring her beautiful appearance, she marveled at the fact that she could smile like that. “I’ll be back soon, so please prepare a meal.” “Yes, yes?” “I like food that is not too salty like last time and can go on smoothly.” "all right." He was a man who didn't really know where he was going. The innkeeper looked at the sorcerer who took off his coat and went out, like a strange person. Meanwhile, Aster was confused when she looked at the cloudy sky. I haven't even had breakfast yet. I was most worried that Siriena would not be hungry. *** Before entering the inn where Charon and Maxion were staying, I took a moment to breathe. I cleared the words in my head and opened the inn door. I was just trying to clear up the misunderstanding... … . “What, where did you go?” Seeing the empty room, Maxion muttered as if he was embarrassed. It was frustrating for me as well. “……damn it. Did you pack up and go out?” Maxion, who ran into the room and checked the traces of Charon, kicked the closet weakly as if he was heartbroken. He's blinded that I'm being abandoned by Charon... … murmured. “……Still, since I was here with you before I left the inn, I wouldn't have gone far yet." “Then let’s find them together, Maxion.” "what?" Maxion frowned as if he didn't like it. "No. It's dangerous to be alone." “Don’t worry, Maxion. I can protect my own body.” If you die, Aster will take care of bringing you back to life. What kind of risk do you think it is. was not afraid either. “And even if you find your sister, Charon, she must be misunderstanding her, so it’s dangerous.” “You worry too much.” “It’s not that I worry too much, but my sister always makes me worry.” I couldn't think of any words to refute the sound of hitting the bones. In the end, my talk was ignored and we went looking for Charon together. Along the way, I thought that Aster would be worried about me, but when I remembered that he was the one who caused the misunderstanding, I heard a nasty sign. Just keep having a heartache there. “Maybe I’m this tall…….” “About age…….” “He had such a hair color and a wild impression…….” Maxion and I searched for a place where Charon could pass and went around. “It’s because I haven’t seen it! Don't disturb business and go. I have never seen such a young man here.” I wandered around the village for a while, but there was no income. Then I started getting more and more anxious. Charon must be moving away while we're doing this... … . “I should have gone looking for it…….” “Then it’s clear that my sister will cause some trouble.” “……still." “No, sister. We can't see each other right now, we'll see each other again someday." I was puzzled by Maxion's confident eyes. He grinned as if reading my thoughts. “We are a family.” “…….” “So that’s how we met again.” “Yes.” It was an uncertain story except for the family, but Maxion's words were strangely understandable. I be Charon following Maxion. asked “It almost looked like this…….” It was time to tell the fruit vendor about Charon's appearance. The merchant looked annoyed and turned around thinking that he had no income this time. And then I met an unexpected person. “I saw the man you were looking for.” He turned right to the neck and neck he heard while asking the people around him, and it was the face he had seen yesterday. “……Lena?” Surprisingly, she seemed to be the same. “……Oh my gosh. It really was you.” Lena's eyes widened. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a corpse come to life. No, is that right? “How did it go? You suddenly broke... … .” “Lena, that’s…….” “Are you right?” A look of fear crossed her face for a moment. I couldn't say anything. It was fine when I was with Aster, but I didn't think I was like a human being, walking around incompletely after dying and coming back to life. But that was all. I didn't have time to think about my identity for a long time. “Lena, it’s not the kid you saw, did you really see that guy?” “……that's right. saw." “Where is the child?” "kid?" this. I have a habit of calling Charon “ah” over and over again. Maxion, who was next to me, looked at me strangely with the same expression as Lena. “You’re a child too, Maxion.” “……What do I look like to my sister? Now I am an adult who knows everything I know.” "okay. yes.” “…….” Maxion had a displeased face, but even that seemed young to me. “I will tell you where it is. Follow me.” At Lena's words, I immediately followed her. If only Maxion hadn't grabbed my arm. “I don’t want to bother with getting directions. I would appreciate it if you could just tell me the location.” Maxion seemed unwilling to receive Lena's guidance. Perhaps he is wary of Lena. why? “……Then yes.” Lena nodded and taught us the chapter that she came and saw Charon. Before we parted, I sincerely told her. “Thank you for saving me yesterday, Lena.” At my words, Maxion widened his eyes, not knowing what to say. “I hope you find the person you are looking for, Grandpa Max. Then I'll be fine." Lena bit her lip as if holding back something and looked at me. “……late." "Iknow, right. I should have said thank you right away.” So we parted. It would have been nice if I had understood the meaning of Lena's words back then. Being late doesn't mean just saying thank you. It was time to walk in the direction that Maxion and Lena had given for a while. “……Is it true that she saved your sister?” “He saved me from the men who tried to hold me hostage.” “But, noona, just because you helped me once doesn’t mean that people’s feelings are not always the same.” Maxion said coldly. It was then that I realized that things were taking a strange turn. I quickly looked around. The surrounding area was a dark alley closed on all sides. In short, it was a good place to be captured. “There it is!” With awareness, I heard Lena's neck and neck, which had parted a while ago. I turned around in bewilderment and saw Lena running along with the lord's knights. It was a trap. “Suppress it!” Maxion frowned. He evoked magical powers from his hands as he was about to run away. And that moment. “……Whoops.” It felt like Maxion's magical power was very disgusting. My stomach is churning and I feel like my body is going to break like before... … . “……sister?" Maxion, who realized that I was strange, reaped the magic power, but my body was as weak as a sandcastle. Maxion embraced me as if to protect me from the knights. Maxion, who had decided that he could not use magic, muttered as he shed tears. “It’s ruined.” I let go of my dark mind in Maxion's arms. *** When I woke up again, I was in prison. Things were going horribly wrong. I was just trying to find Charon, but somehow... … . Where is Maxion? I looked around, relieved that my body had not been broken. But I was the only one inside the locked iron cage. 'What if?' Why am I always messing things up? It really wouldn't be like this without luck. He leaned against the iron bars and waited for the time to pass. Even if it was the worst case scenario, would it be worse than death? If you die, Aster will resurrect you. It was when I was leaning so helplessly against the iron bars. The door that had been closed deep down in the dungeon opened. As the light leaked in, I immediately turned my gaze to the other side. “You said the wizard caught the silver-haired woman he was carrying?” The neck I was sick of. Lida. At that moment, he seemed to stop breathing. The sound of footsteps was getting closer. Soon the sound stopped. The shadow of Hyphron Aites stretched out in front of me.
So this is like a SE. BUT! Author goes like, WAIT! and gives a "false" open ending. That in truth is an actual GE, and it's solidified in the extras. Did I get this right?
I don't know what SE is and it wasn't open ending because she did woke up at the end of main story. The extras just elaborate more on it and a bit on what happened after she was revived. *** Spoiler: 15 Passing through the inn where Astera's doll mimicking Siriena stayed, they headed towards the snow-capped mountains. He climbed the mountain and arrived at a hut full of dolls in the shape of his older sister, whom he had broken a long time ago. Upon entering the hut, the disgusting smell of decaying corpses wafted through. Two men were dead inside the hut. Ignoring the two bodies, Charon went inside and entered the room where she once broke the doll that mimics her sister. And brought back old memories. God, please let me kill the doll today and find the body of my poor sister. Not a boy without faith, but a man who was now an adult prayed. *** Maxion opened his eyes inside the scruffy prison. Upon realizing Siriena's condition, she was brought here because she could not use magic. The woman who had been helping her sister suddenly came up with what she was thinking and brought a accusation to Siriena. 'it's annoying.' I have my body tied up, but who knows how to untie it. I couldn't use magic because I was by Siriena's side, but I can use it now. 'But I hope that writing here won't hurt anyone, right?' At that thought, Maxion frowned. nothing becomes “Hey young man, are you awake?” I was struggling for a long time when I heard a noise from the prison next door. Maxion, who did not know who was here other than himself, turned his head in surprise. There was an old man sitting uncomfortably, looking at Maxion. “How did you get locked up?” It looks pretty bad, too, but the old man asked calmly. “How did Grandpa come in?” “I want to tell you, but I’m afraid to speak out for fear of what will happen to the young man.” Then the old man suddenly chuckles. He was a strange old man. “What is your name? It’s a face I haven’t seen in town.” “……This is Maxion.” “It’s a good name. But how did you come to this place by making a mistake? Now, a young man like you can't be in a place like this." words are long Maxion, who made a name for himself as a fool at the academy, had no respect for the elderly. However, Maxion asked, because he did not want to give the other person an embarrassment. “What’s your grandfather’s name?” “I’m Max.” Yes. *** What happened to Maxion? Why did Lena suddenly betray me? Well, we're not even close enough to ask why. “I brought a silver-haired woman…….” I heard the stiff neck of Hyphron Aites who found me. The important thing now is that I met this man again in the worst case of being imprisoned. I couldn't even raise my head. There was only a barbed wire between Hypron Aites and me. “……I want to see your face.” The man's neck and neck fell from the top of his head, seemingly confused. That's when I seriously thought about it. to use magic If you use magic, your body will break like before. Instead, you can avoid this situation. “Is it difficult to lift your head?” “…….” okay. Let's use magic. I'd rather break my body. Then, as before, Aster will heal me. no. Then Maxion can't be found. I can't do this either, so I'm frustrated, but Hypron Aites has bent her knees. "dismissal……！” The man standing next to Hypron Aites shouted in amazement. It was already too late when I was about to back down in the sudden situation. Kneeling down and making eye contact, Hypron Aites checked my face. His golden eyes trembled slightly when he saw me. "dismissal! You just need to get this girl up and running! Your Excellency is on your knees!” “Leave the key and leave.” "Yes……?” “Did you not hear me?” The bright yellow light in the man's indifferent eyes flashed like a man who had no sense, and the knight quickly left the key behind. As the article went out, Hypron Aites grabbed me as if pulling an iron window and looked at me. “……Are you not dead?” “…….” The golden eyes looking at me made it impossible for me to avoid this situation. When we met like this, the venomous words that were always pouring on that tired face did not come out. “Why are you here?” “…….” “Young girl.” he called me “Why are you here?” I asked. Have you been deceiving everyone all this time?” An angry voice made it impossible to escape from this situation. He won't let me go until he finds out the truth. “Have you been pretending to be dead all this time?” “……no. It was like being dead. I just woke up recently.” “……waking up.” “At that time, I almost died in the den of Fasius.” At my words, Hypron forgot to breathe and looked at me. I decided to talk to Maxion as I told him. “Azister saved me like that.” “……The gnome's Duke of Agernia. He said you are dead. You're hiding the fact that you're alive." “Because it was like a dead body. I have been almost dead for three years.” Hypron had a face that did not understand what I said. “Then I could have brought you back to the Empire to be treated by a doctor. But why……！” “Why are you angry?” “…….” He rarely expressed outrage. Hypron Aites wiped my face with the palm of his hand as if trying to control my emotions for a moment. “……You don’t know, but I thought I was lucky that Young-ae was alive.” “…….” “But, young girl, the Duke of Agernia is not normal.” “I know that.” Hypron Aites had a frustrated face. For a moment, I felt funny. Who are you, what are we? I was not the man who persistently dug up me and forced me to confess somehow. As the disgusting memories of three years ago came to mind, disillusionment with the man came. At that moment, Hypron unexpectedly spoke out. “……Then, I regret it.” “…….” “I regret terribly that I pushed you like that for three years.” I was speechless and looked at him. Wasn't he a man who hated sin terribly? That's why you pushed me like that and doubted me. “……I always regretted that I shouldn’t have done it back then.” “So what are you going to say to me?” “I’m sorry, Young-ae.” I was speechless when I received an apology from him. To be honest, it was my fault. The Empire joined hands with Pasius, who was trying to uproot it, and committed all sorts of sins. Even if this man was not just, it was only natural that he would despise me. “You know it too. That I've teamed up with the Warlocks. But now why... … .” “Because you were a victim too.” “…….” “I’m sorry that I couldn’t trust you after being threatened by the warlocks and forced to move.” no. He was wrong. I looked at him with a firm expression and placed my hand on his hand that was holding the iron fence. At the sudden touch, his body stiffened. “You are wrong.” “…….” “I can never be a victim. I am just a sinner.” “…….” “So you can’t apologize to me. Do you just pretend you didn't see my sins, or do you accuse them?" Hypron's golden eyes trembled slightly. “It’s one of them.” I don't want you to understand what I've done. The only thing that mattered to me was whether to tolerate it or not. “……You haven't changed at all." "of course. I don't know how you spent those three years, but I just woke up. I am the same as three years ago.” Hypron looked at me like that and sighed briefly. And he dropped the key he got from the knight in front of the cage. “Come out.” It was something I would never have done before. I opened my eyes wide in surprise and looked at him. “Are you crazy?” “I’m not crazy.” “Then why are you giving me the key?” “……I don't know either.” He also wrinkled his brow as if he did not understand his actions. It was the same three years ago or now. I quickly picked up the key and opened the iron cage door in case Hypron's mind would change. As I came out of the cage, Hypron looked at me with an annoyed face. But he stood still, unable to do anything to me. I looked at him and asked. “Do you still like me?” He hasn't been able to manage his facial expressions well before, but this time his face is completely distorted. But he gave no answer. “……Does the young girl still like the Duke of Agernia?” “Why do you say that?” When Hypron mentioned Aster once again, he became displeased as Aster's amazing deeds came to mind one by one. “If you still have any favors for me, I hope you can help me.” “……What can I do?” It was a rare sight to see him speaking in a calm manner. “Where is my brother?” *** When Siriena woke up, she wanted to live in peace. Now there's nothing yo. to get in her way. But I guess it wasn't. Until Siriena woke up, she didn't look around at all, wanting to focus on keeping her alive. Standing in front of the lord's castle, Aester sighed. “Siriena, it must be difficult to have dinner at the inn.” Azester muttered to himself, remembering Siriena, who was somewhere in this castle. It is said that he did not know that he would come all the way here to pick up Sirina. “……Isn't that a wizard?" The knights who found Azester standing in front of the lord's castle murmured. The wanted person came directly to the lord's castle. There's no way I'd come here to turn myself in, saying, "Catch me." … . Aster smiled and threw something at them. The knights were terrified that the object that fell in front of me might explode, but when I looked closely, it was an identity card. No, maybe it's a bomb disguised as an identity card... … . “Hey, aren’t you familiar with this ID badge? … ?” “……Hopefully this.” One of the four famous families from the capital to the Eers estate far away. One of the families that subjugated the warlocks who were notorious for the Empire... … . At one time, among the four great families, the most dominant……. And the Duke of Agernia, said to have greatly bought the current emperor's trust. Spoiler: 16 It was a sunny afternoon. Mikhail heard a sound like a blue sky. “……Charon left the academy?” According to the report received by Mikhail, Maxion and Maxion left the academy with the consent of their guardian 'Mikhail Melfort'. Mikhail Melfort never agreed. “This damn bastard…….' The circumstances of the case are as follows. This bastard Charon said it was the consent of Mikhail Melfort, and forged the documents. I've been quiet for a while... … . Mikhail grabbed her throbbing hair. I never dreamed that my brothers would escape the academy by forging documents. Angry at this, Mikhail came to the village of Ers to capture Charon and Maxion. “Oh, it’s cold.” Winters in the capital are not so plentiful. I hate the cold, but how did I come to the cold territory at the end of the empire? “Where are these fucking bastards?” Please hide. If you get caught, you'd better be prepared for a real bruise, you damn kids. *** “……So the old man saw that the lord of this village had something to do with magicians?” “That’s right! In the middle of the night there was a flash of light and I saw something and it was like that.” Whenever he said he would never let a young man get involved, he bluntly confessed what he had seen. It was nice to meet someone who had been in prison for a long time, so I came all the way here to talk about it. Grandpa Max didn't even know what he was talking about. Maxion, who came to know these secrets while talking to the old man, was just astonished. “What kind of experiment did the lord have with the warlocks?” “Experiment?” “I heard you study people’s eternal life.” Maxion managed to swallow a moan. The nightmare from three years ago seemed to be reappearing. Poor older sister who was taken advantage of by warlocks. Then I got to the point where I almost died. His anger like a fireball seemed to melt his reason, and his mind went blank. “Eternal life. It's so fleeting. The value of life is that the life span of a person is fixed, so it shines even more.” Grandpa Max clicked his tongue like he was sorry. “It’s a corporation that has an order in the world, but trying to distort it with mere greed…….” Grandpa Max sighed, but Maxion couldn't hear it. Maybe Maxion, he thought it was fate that he came here. Destiny to meet my sister. and……. Destiny to uproot the evil. “Old man.” “Why, however, young man.” “Did you say that the lord was imprisoned here after witnessing something to do with the warlocks?” “Yes. My story is a secret, young man. Never go anywhere and never tell me. Only you are in danger.” "no." Maxion stood up, wiping the dust off his clothes. “It is not us who are in danger.” Warlocks and their associated spirit lords. “Senior, do you deal with me?” "transaction?" “I’ll get you out of here.” Grandpa Max's eyes widened at those words. “Instead, the old man should help me.” *** “Where is my brother?” "Brother?" At my question, Hypron Aites gave a gloomy face. “I was with my brother when I was brought here.” “……We will try to find it.” I was unfamiliar with Hypron, who listened to me obediently. Maybe for 3 years... … . “Didn’t someone else enter your body?” “……?” As if I had entered Siriena's body. “What kind of nonsense is that?” Fortunately, seeing a face that didn't know what he was saying, it didn't seem like that. “Go, sir……！” When he was about to leave the prison with Hypron Aites, a knight rushed in. The knight opened his eyes wide when he saw me, who had been imprisoned in a cage, side by side with Hypron Aites. “It’s not that woman, why is she outside the iron window…….” “I took it out. So what kind of dragon is it?” As Hypron urged him to hurry up and say something, the knight hurriedly opened his mouth as if he had remembered his original purpose. “Hey, that’s a mad wizard……No, Your Majesty the Duke of Agernia has visited the castle.” “Duke of Agernia……?” Hypron and I were surprised by the title that came out of the knight's mouth. How did those who had known Aster as a maniac know his identity? “The Lord has prepared a dinner for you, the Duke of Agernia, so please bring him to the dinner with us…” … .” The knight pointed at me and said. “……what?" Hypron looked absurd about how things were going. that was me too I couldn't stay in jail forever, so I left the prison and headed to the dinner room as the article said. when it arrived like that. “Siriena.” There was Aster, who sat naturally as if the lord's castle was the master bedroom of his house. On the other hand, Yeongju was sweating profusely and had a pale face like a corpse. “Siriena, come here.” Aster, who got up from the dinner table, came up to me, and led me to the seat next to him. The situation was so absurd that he did not say anything and sat down as he led. “Siriena, I can’t eat today. I'm going to be very hungry. Come on, let’s eat.” “…….” I knew right away that I was crazy, but I would have been crazy like this. “No, that’s right, Young-ae. We've been told that our drivers have made a mistake. I prepared this meal to ask for forgiveness, so come on... … ? "under. What is the situation now, Duke of Agernia?” I didn't know the day would come when I could empathize with Hypron Aites. What's really going on with this? “Why do you keep standing like this, Duke of Aites? Come on, sit down. Won't the Duke not eat?" “…….” Hypron Eye Tess rubs my head as if it doesn't make sense. I also wanted to hold my head together. “Aaster, why are you here?” “Why? I'm here to pick you up. I was afraid I would be hungry, so I prepared a meal at the same time.” It was as shameless as if he had become the owner of this castle. In fact, the owner of this castle was so frightened that he couldn't even take a picture. Aster took my plate and started slicing my steak instead. Finely chopping the steak, he put it back in front of me. “Have a good meal, Siriena.” I can't complain about anything here. “Your lord will eat it soon too.” How shameless are you? The lord looked at Aster's eyes, picked up the fork and opened his mouth reluctantly. “Big, big……. I apologize for the mistake I made earlier in not getting to know Your Majesty the Duke of Aggernia.” “The lord does not have to apologize.” “That word…….” Aster is silent. built It was a fresh and beautiful beauty like a flower in full bloom. I have been with Aster for a long time, but I did not know the meaning of that beauty. It means you've already been photographed. “……Lord.” I pretended not to see Aster's actions and called the lord. The lord looked back at me with a face that was contemplating on Aster's beauty. “When I was brought here, my brother was with me. Where is my brother now?” “Well, I’ll tell the knights to release them right away.” It means that Maxion was also imprisoned. I looked at the lord with cold eyes. Noticing my reaction, the lord's complexion became as white as a corpse. “You have no appetite?” Then Aster asked without notice. It's probably not that you're really ignorant, but why are you doing this? I whispered softly enough for Aster to hear. "Are you crazy?" “Extremely normal.” “Among those who are crazy, there are no normal people. Anyway, I'm not planning on eating. As soon as I find Maxion, I will leave.” "No. Siriena, haven't you eaten?" “Is that important now?” “I think that's important.” With a very serious-looking face, I was at a loss for words again. “And just because I came here, I have something to deal with here.” “Are you going to handle it?” “You will find out if you wait.” Aster puts her interlaced hands on the table and smiles meaningfully. Then a knight hurried to the lord. As the eyes of the people around him turned towards him, the knight looked at him and whispered to the lord. The lord's face became contemplative no matter what he heard. “That little girl…….” Yeongju, who had been sweating profusely, opened his mouth as if he had finally made up his mind. “Young, Young-ae’s younger brother escaped from prison…….” I'm sorry. Before the lord could finish speaking, he heard a loud sneer from the side. When someone said no, there was no need to question it, the culprit was Aster. He burst out laughing at what was funny. Then the snout of hell opened again. “Good.” “Okay, what is that…….” “Because I am going to destroy this lord’s castle today.” I don't want Siriena's younger sister to get hurt by any chance. Everyone in the castle froze coldly at Aster's words. Even me who was by his side. Spoiler: 17 “I will release the children as promised.” After hearing the knight's words, Lena was relieved. This morning, the knights suddenly stormed into Lena's house. He took Lena's family hostage because she was with the silver-haired woman, and ordered her to bring the silver-haired woman. But what can I do? Lena had doubts, but when the knights pointed knives to the necks of the family members, her feet exploded in the morning, so she had to go looking for a woman with silver hair. and……. 'sorry.' He apologized, remembering the silver-haired woman who was captured by the knights. My family had no choice but to live. “……Please release my brothers.” "okay. promise to keep Miss, but.” The knight seemed unwilling to free my family. Lena was worried. What the hell are these crazy bastards trying to do... … . "Since we've been waiting for you, shouldn't we show sincerity?" “……Holy?” “Since we gave him extra time, we have to show his sincerity. And girl, you've got involved with a criminal, so there's nothing to say about being in jail. You're saying that we're going to move on to something particularly good." It's like these crazy people. Shamelessly taking my brothers hostage and making them do their own thing! Lena was furious. But all he could do was kill his emotions as much as possible and speak rudely. “……I'm sorry, but I don't have money." It is difficult to eat and live. But where is the money to give them? … . "okay?" At that moment, the knight grinned and grabbed the younger brother's shoulder. “Ah! Sister!” "joy!" The younger brother burst out crying in pain as if his shoulder was being ripped apart. However, the knights did not stop there and dragged the younger brothers out. “What are you doing now!” Lena hastily pursued the knights. He wrote evil to let his younger brothers go, but the pain did not end. 'What the hell are you doing!' These crazy bastards... … ！ “Does the young lady always think of sincerity as money?” “……What do you mean?” “There is no other sincerity like a human being.” “Are you going to sell my brothers now?” "answer." At the words of the knight, Lena's head went blank. “Let my brothers go now, you crazy bastard!” Lena rushed at the knights, but was easily subdued. The knights slapped her on the cheek a few times saying it wasn't the same. Lena with blushed cheeks looked into the air without focus. “Aww! Sister, save me!” “Don’t hit my sister! Oh, you bastards!” My brothers and sisters were crying sadly, but there was nothing they could do. Residents of the village, who came to see the current situation in the loud noise, pretended not to see Lena, fearing that they would be harmed for nothing. Among them, some of the faces that Lena knew were also mixed. When I saw that scene, I was blown away. ……now maybe good? That was then. “What else is this?” The gray-haired man looked at the knights with an outrageous tone. The knights dared to look back to see who was talking to them like that, but……. He hesitated to treat a man in a noble outfit. The gray haired man looked like a nobleman. “Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like a well-run manor.” “……Do you dare insult Lord Ers right now?” "no? Did I tell you the truth?” The man nodded bitterly and ripped the wanted badge from the village. “It’s okay to rip it off……！” “What, you look like that motherfucker, Aster? I have no luck.” Mikhail tore up the wanted paper without hesitation. The knights looked at it in absurdity. What's with all these guys? no. To act like that is to have something to believe in. Maybe even more than the lord of this town... … , The knights who noticed a strange look blinked at each other. For now, I'll have to step back and find out who that man is later. “I think you are lucky!” The knights roughly released Lena's younger brothers and tried to run away. Had it not been for Mikhail to stand in their way. “Uh-huh. Where are you going?” “……?” “You all got caught by me.” Saying that, Mikhail smiled softly. “Oh, no. Can go." “I don’t think they’re the ones who’ve tried haeng-pae once or twice, but if you ask while you’re on the street, someone who knows your name will definitely come out, right?” “…….” “If not, how about forgiving me?” The knights immediately stared at the villagers around here. Mihail noticed a hint of unspoken threats to kill them if they spoke, and kicked them in the shin. “Aww!” “It’s tough.” “I think my bones are broken!” The other knights flinched when they saw the knight grabbing his shin and screaming like death. “Hurry up and get him out.” When Mikhail spoke harshly, the knights did not delay and forced the article about being sick. Seeing the knights who ran away with the limp knight, Mikhail built a cool beauty. “Oh, thank you…….” “Brother, that’s great!” When the younger brothers saw Mikhail's appearance and shouted with their sparkling eyes, Mikhail laughed mischievously and rebuked him. And Mikhail looked at Lena. “I have something to ask you.” Lena listened blankly to the man's words. *** When the lord said that he had come to destroy this castle, he froze for a moment, then smiled. "haha……. This is a very funny joke... … .” He must have taken Aster's comment that he had come to destroy this castle as a joke. Aster did not affirm or deny the words of the lord, and made a beautiful. So it's even more worrisome. When Hypron looked at me with eyes asking for an explanation, I avoided his gaze. I don't know what Azaster was thinking either, but I had nothing to say. 'Should I just go home... … .' I need to find Maxion too... … . I didn't want to get caught up in this mess anymore. I whispered again, soft enough that only Aster could hear it. "Aaster, I don't care what you do, so can't I go first?" At that, Aster made a very disappointing expression on his face. “We are a team, Sirina.” Since when? “Well, Siriena shouldn’t be overdoing it, so it’s better to finish it quickly. and…….” Why are you so ominous? “Because I decided not to hide it now.” Aster said with a gentle smile. “Now Siriena has to take care of me.” What the hell are you doing to say something like that? Aster stood up when she saw that I had finished eating. Are you going now? And looking at him, Azera drew his sword. “What are you doing now…….” “Duke of Agernia, what is this…….” Hypron and I looked at Aster with surprised eyes, and the lord looked blankly for a moment, then looked at Aster with a white face. “Come on, you’re joking…….” "joke?" Aster asked, pointing the sword at the lord's neck. “Do you still look like a joke?” “Duke of Agernia! What are you doing now!” Hyphron Aites drew his sword at Aster's excessive behavior. The atmosphere in the dining room was messed up. The waiters who served the meal glanced around, and the knights of the lord rushed in to see if they had spoken. Aster looked at them with a relaxed look. And soon he opened his mouth. “How long is the lord of Eers going to hide his sins?” “……I'm hiding my sins Before that, Sir, Duke of Agernia, put away your sword! How the hell are you trying to insult me!” The lord shouted in anger. “Aren’t you going to kill my father and not fill the castle? Now I understand why the rumors circulated that the Duke of Agernia was crazy. It's crazy to point a knife at anyone like this... … Aww!” “You talk too long.” A sharp blade was pierced into the lord's neck. Blood was dripping from his thick neck, which had been slightly cut by the blade. If you look at the situation, Aster has no villain. “Lord, I don’t really like meddling in other people’s affairs.” “……that, what is that.” “Do you know what the Empire calls me?” Mad Wizard? crazy guy? That was the only thing that came to mind at Aster's question. However, a name that did not suit him came out of Aster's mouth. “It is called the hero who defeated the Fasius group together with the Duke of Aytes.” I really don't like Aster. “Perhaps the Duke of Aytes came here for the same reason as me.” As Aster gave a low rhyme, Hyphron looked at him with sunken eyes. “I’m not here to remove the seeds of the warlocks who are trying to cause chaos in the Empire.” “Hey, what the hell does that have to do with me!” Before the lord's words could be finished, Ajester gently beheaded the lord. degul. The lord's neck fell. Spoiler: 18 degul. The lord's neck fell. A fountain of blood rose from the spot where his neck fell, and everyone who saw the sight froze. “Uh, ahhh!” “Ahhhhh!” The servants who served the meal at this place screamed at the terrible sight. I just wanted to scream with them. “Young lord…….” It seems that even the knights do not know how to respond to this sudden situation. Their faces were full of panic. “Duke of Agernia! Are you really crazy? What the hell are you doing now... … .” “What are you doing now, Azester!” Are you crazy? ……Of course, I knew right away that I was crazy, but I think I'm more crazy in a crazy state. I don't even know how to express this. “Ah, Siriena.” Aster stooped down and picked up the lord's severed head. Blood is dripping down, and there is no such thing as such a cruel and bizarre scene. He was about to turn his head in disgust, but at that moment, Aster made even more crazy. I wondered what he was doing when he sat down at the desk with the lord's head held up... … . He placed his face on top of the severed lord's neck. You wouldn't think that a severed neck would be attached, would you? If so, this time, I decided to abandon Aster. However……. “Gee, what is that now…….” “Sah, a person’s throat…….” An unbelievable thing happened. The fallen lord's necks were attached to each other as if they were looking for a joint. "also." Seeing that, Aster laughed as if it had been expected. “The lord of Ers is with the warlocks It looks like they studied eternal life together. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s playing because it has breath.” “…….” “The fact that warlocks were studying immortality was revealed three years before Fasius was slain.” Hopefully now... … . That's why he cut off the lord's head... … . “I think we have shown enough evidence that the lord of Ers was related to the warlocks.” As if a complicated problem had been solved, Aster lightly clapped and laughed. Everyone here is at a loss for words. Confusion, astonishment, and fear all combined to make me dizzy. At that time, the lord's eyes widened, and he slowly regained focus. “……Whoops!” “Are you feeling a little better now, Lord of Ers?” The resurrected lord came to his senses, breathing hard as if he was trying to find a san. “Many people here are surprised that the lord has something to do with the warlocks.” “Hey, what……！ How can you do such a terrifying thing that you have to do with sorcerers!” “Then, how would you explain the fact that the lord, who was surely dead, came back to life?” Aster asked the lord with a shaky neck. The lord trembled and said nothing, but rolled his eyes and looked at Hypron Aites. It's like looking for someone who can help you out of this situation. However, Hypron Aites was sober. He tried to save the lord before he witnessed the lord come to life. “Explain.” “Duke Aites is right. The lord just needs to explain.” “……this, this. So…….” Youngjoo could not answer right away, and his mouth twitched as if he was trying to come up with an excuse. It was then. A loud commotion was heard outside the dining room. “You, what are you……！ If you dare to take down knights here at will, you will be safe... … .” “Get out of the way.” bang! The force of slamming the door opened as if it were about to fall. I couldn't hide my surprise when I saw the man who came in. “Everyone is here.” ……Maxion? Maxion looked carefully at the faces here. He looked happy when he saw me, then immediately looked at Aster and frowned. Then he calmly opened his mouth. “Large! I brought evidence that the lord of this place was related to the warlocks, who would you like to see?” At Maxion's words, the lord's eyes shook violently. Seeing the lord, Maxion smiled and waved the notebook in his hand. “Eternal life or anything else, it was a journal containing the records of experiments with the warlocks, and they say that they have been experimenting for the second generation.” “Lord, is that true?” After hearing Maxion's words, Hypron Aites asked the lord. “……I don't know why Sir Aites is here, but I compared the handwriting myself. If you don’t believe it, you can do it yourself.” The conclusion was reached. It became clear that the lord was related to the warlocks. The lord got up from his chair as if trying to run away. Aster, who was the closest, did not hold onto the lord for what he was thinking, but let him go. Youngjoo trembled and just took a step back. Before long, a wall hit his back and he realized he was in a corner. “Hey, this can’t be…….” The lord, who blankly denied reality, made the worst choice. “What are you doing! Come on, catch them!” He ordered his knights. However, the knights lowered their swords when their eyes met Hypron and Azeri. He doesn't have the courage to fight at all. However, the young Joo scrambled again. “Do you think you guys can get away with it? You were too! It was you who saved the sacrifices!” “Ah, so the knights here are all in one team.” Azester slowly stood up, looking around the knights. As Aster, who was sitting halfway at the desk, got up, Hook's eye level rose. His physique, his strength, his head, and his momentum were not pushed by anything. The knights and the lord were frightened, but Azester retreated as if he had no intention of attacking them. What else are you going to do? … ? I was looking at Aster with puzzled eyes, and he came to me. Aster picked up the towel from the table and wiped the blood off her hands. Then he looked back at me and asked. “Siriena, do you smell that?” “……?” “Can’t you smell blood from me?” “……?” What is the purpose of the question? I looked at Aaster, speechless. It seems better to give up thinking. "Well. Still, it's bloody hands, wouldn't it be disgusting for Siriena to touch my hand?" “…….” “I am sorry. Had I known this would happen, I would have ordered the Duke of Aites to cut off the lord's head.” “……?” Hypron Aites looked tired, but unlike me, he had not yet given up. “Anyway, things seem to have been resolved, so shall we leave, Siriena?” I think I was just growing my business, but where the hell did it go? “The Duke of Aytes will take care of the rest.” “…….” I felt Aster's actions were absurd and shameless, but I stood up without a word. It was because I wanted to run away from this place. “Then I hope you all do well.” Do I have to say hi? Although resigned, Aster's actions continued to create doubts. I followed Aster out of the banquet hall. Maxion followed us while monitoring the situation. “……Can I go like this?” “What can’t be……Ah." As soon as they left the banquet hall, they saw armed knights gathered in front of them. “That’s it. It must be a little difficult to just go.” Aster pulled out his sword. After that, it was a mess. *** Yeongju Fortress was built solidly so as not to be swept away by heavy snow in winter. In front of Yeongju Castle, a sharp cold wind blew. As the cold wind scratched his skin and went down, Charon's cheeks were burning bright red. Even in the cold wind, Charon stood tall like a tree and looked at the lord's castle. I came here to find a doll with a face that resembles my sister. I tried to go to the inn where Aster was. However, rumors that a silver-haired woman who had spread throughout the village had been taken to the lord's castle led Charon to come here. "under…….” Charon broke the thread. His mind was filled with only thoughts of ending this bad relationship. However, my hands trembled at the thought of handling a doll that resembled my sister. Yes, it's because it's cold. Without further delay, Charon drew his sword. The knights standing in front of the castle of the lord opened their eyes wide in surprise. "Move." As the knights drew their swords as if they were about to confront Charon, Charon swung the sword he held firmly. Now it's time to go smash the doll. Spoiler: 19 I knew that Azester would fight hard against the lord's knights. But. He bluntly stepped forward. He seemed to be thinking of passing all the troublesome work to Hypron Aites. However, the knights who did not know Azester's thoughts were confused as to what Aster was thinking. “Aren’t you passing by?” The knights who were paying attention to Aster's question soon made the worst choice. “Kill him now!” It was the worst choice to kill Aster. So the situation became a mess. Aster could not use magic because of me, so he only dealt with the knights with his sword. Knights rushed into the cramped space, and the situation was a mess. As blood and flesh fell everywhere, I covered Maxion's eyes. But Maxion put his hand away as if he didn't need it. We went through the knights with Azerbaijan in the lead. But the crowd was so large that I made the best choice. “Aaster, I’m sorry.” “Siriena?” “It’s your fault, you fix it.” I pushed Aster's back. “Siriena?” Ignoring Aster's bewildered voice, he ran away while he was dealing with the knights. Maxion is also there, but this scene is not right in the field of children's education. I grabbed Maxion's hand and ran. Fortunately, the drivers didn't mind us. It was because the mighty Azester was so focused on him that he could not afford to stop us. Sometimes there were knights trying to catch us, but Maxion kicked it. The majority is difficult, but the minority is achievable. On the way, the servants screamed when they saw us running tangled with the knights. “……Are we done now?” so stupid? Maxion muttered as if it was ridiculous. “It’s the first time it has ended so easily.” It was as if he had predicted that this event was going to be a pain in the ass. “But, is your sister okay?” "what?" “The authors are a bunch of warlocks.” “…….” “Of course, I thought my sister would be upset again, but I’m glad it looks okay.” “……It has nothing to do with me now.” I am completely free from them. No, actually, there's only one left. A problem to be solved when returning to the capital. A promise to Cedric. If that's all I can do, I'm completely done. “It’s over there!” Then the knights looking for us. Lee heard. Maxion grabbed my hand. “Sister, would you like to run?” "okay." I was about to run in the opposite direction from where I heard my throat, but the knights rushed in from the other side as well. With one passage left, it was completely blocked in all directions. This is difficult. I looked to the side. Can you break through this wall? It's an outer wall, so if you break it, you'll be able to escape right away. Maybe it's too much power, so I'll have to use magic. I saw Maxion. I haven't used magic for a while now, but it's probably because of me. “Maxion.” “Yeah, no.” However, he was politely rejected by Maxion, who was quick-witted. Maxion clenched his sword tightly. “I’m sorry. I would have done it if I had Charon... … .” At that moment, I heard a cracking sound on the wall I was looking at. Jeok-Jeok- The knights who had gathered to face us turned their eyes to that direction, and the officer Kwajik! The wall was smashed with a loud sound. The shattered wall splattered in all directions, and in an abrupt situation, the knights were hit by the shards and fell off. There were also several knights with their bodies covered in large chunks. The outer wall I was looking at with regretful eyes was broken. I wondered if God had granted my wish, and I was seriously thinking, but I saw a familiar face in the big crack. ……Karon. “Why is that bastard here? … .” Maxion seems to be perplexed by the unexpected situation. Charon's sharp eyes were looking this way. It was as if his body had been stabbed in the stinging gaze. “Sister, does that bastard want to come here now?” The moment Maxion, who instinctively noticed, spoke, Charon, who was outside the castle, took a few steps back. At that moment, Charon, who was below him, ran forward again, smashed the ground wildly and leapt. With his eyes wide open at the astonishing sight, Charon stepped on the broken outer wall. “Yeah, you boy……!' The knights, who were so surprised and blankly watching this situation, drew their swords in front of Charon. “You guys have nothing to do with it. The cups are off.” “Catch him right now!” There was no chaos. The knights attacked Charon, and Charon subdued them with force. He grabbed the knight's head with one hand and threw it against the wall, kicking the knight's stomach who was attacking from behind. I can't move any more because my ribs are broken. It was overwhelming power. The knights who couldn't even dare to attack Charon rushed to the sheep to catch Maxion and Nara as well. there was no fuss I couldn't stay still like this. I picked up the sword of the fallen knight and counterattacked those who rushed this way. He died for three years, and perhaps because he was alive, his body didn't follow him like it used to. It was a creaky movement because it didn't come out well, but it seemed that the situation was resolved without any problems, perhaps because of the weakened momentum of the knights. When so many knights were organized, I tried to put down my sword. That moment. A sword was held in front of my neck. ……It was Karon. "Hey! Karon, what are you doing to my sister?” Maxion shouted in surprise, but the knights rushed at him. Maxion couldn't afford to mediate in this situation because he had to deal with the knights in a hurry. Charon didn't help Maxion. It was the gaze that dropped the hindrance. I smiled faintly and looked at Charon. “Charon, it’s me.” Then, Charon's dark eyebrows rose. Where should I start clearing this misunderstanding? “I heard from Aster. I think you misunderstood because Aster did something strange... … .” “Does that bastard tell you to do that?” "what?" “You want me to act like a sister? Have you ever decided to make a doll your sister?” “……Karon, it’s not like that.” "Shut up." Charon never listens to me. It was then that I realized I died to Charon on the day I saw Aster's outrageous deeds. he admitted So I can't accept that I'm alive. “There!” Then the knights came rushing in again. Charon looked disillusioned at the constant influx of disturbers and grabbed my waist. “ Karon!” "Noisy." Charon grabbed me and jumped out of the broken outer wall. For a brief moment, the faces of the knights in the castle were wet with desperation. A cold wind blew in. The wind was strong, as if resisting the body, and her hair fluttered in all directions. Charon and I fell down. After landing safely, Charon threw me down on the floor. “…….” He really didn't seem to want to believe that I was his sister. So I guess you're being harsh on me. Where should I start to clear this misunderstanding? I got up from my seat helplessly. “How can I trust you, Karon.” "no. Listen.” Charon had an angry face like a man who had been deceived. On the one hand, his gray eyes looked sad and sad. “You are not my sister. Don't pretend to be my sister. Because it is disgusting.” “I am your sister. I'm not really dead." “If you say those words again…….” Charon caught his breath for a moment as if his throat was choked. His cheeks were red because he had been exposed to the cold wind. Even the tears in his eyes were red and he looked like he was about to burst into tears. He was so pitiful that I put my hand on Charon's face without realizing it. He wiped his cold cheeks and rubbed his eyes. In the past, my vision was right with me, but while I was away, it had grown a lot, so now I had to raise my hands high and bend my head to see him. Charon stared blankly at me for a moment. “Don’t cry, Karon.” “……Damn it.” Charon shook my hand away. The strong force made me fall again. Charon looked at me coldly. “I will kill you!” Charon held out his sword to me with trembling hands. I was surprised and backed away. “Did you even follow your sister’s habits?” It was the first time I knew I had this habit. It seems that Charon found Siriena in an action she didn't even know she did. “It’s better for someone like you to die.” “…….” “I will definitely kill you with my own hands.” Charon held the sword firmly. “Charon, no!” Maxion, who had come down all of a sudden, shouted at Charon. Maxion ran as if trying to stop Charon. Charon laughed as if exasperated. “It’s easy, so I must have deceived Maxion.” Karon's hand stopped shaking. Charon muttered as she watched Maxion running. "okay……. He's not guilty... … . So it's okay for me to finish it." Charon raised his sword. It looked like he was going to wield it on me. I hurriedly tried to avoid it. However, the body did not move because of excessive force. Charon didn't hesitate any longer. he swung his sword I shut my eyes tight. However, the sword of Charon did not fly. What's going on? I slowly opened my eyes. The sun that had been obscured by the clouds appeared and dazzled my eyes. I could see later that someone had blocked Charon's hand. “……under." Breathing out like an absurd one. Lee. Someone was standing behind me. I looked up and looked at the man. “……What is this again?” It was Mikhail. Spoiler: 20 “……What is this?” Mikhail wondered if he was dreaming now. What the hell is this? A while ago, I unintentionally rescued a woman and children and was introduced to a place to stay nearby. I was passing around like that, and it was noisy, so I saw……. Outside the castle, Charon could be seen rioting. What is he doing over there now? As a guardian, it was a very shaky scene. You sent me to the academy to study, so why the hell are you making all the fuss in someone else's house, even in the castle of Yeongju? I was so surprised that I ran to dry Charon, and this was the situation. “Brother, that’s…….” Maxion, who had just approached him, licked his lips as if trying to explain the situation. but rating. Although he was a bright child, Maxion seemed to be at a loss as to what to say about this situation. “Why are you here, and…….” Mikhail looked at Siriena and wrinkled her brow. “Fuck I…….” It was only a day ago that I went to Siriena's tombstone. But why here... … . Mikhail was confused. I have no idea how things are going. Mikhail just stared blankly at the face of his longing brother. Her wavy silver hair shimmered in the winter sunlight, and her red eyes were still as bright as rubies. Siriena looked at Mikhail in surprise. But soon her body lost strength. His eyes slowly closed and he collapsed on the spot. “Siriena!” Mikhail was startled, knelt down and grabbed the fallen Siriena. He hurriedly placed his hand on Siriena's neck. I felt the pressure to make sure my brother was alive. “…….” It felt empty, as if everything had disappeared like a mirage. “……sister?" Maxion looked at Siriena in surprise. “……Don’t run.” Mikhail muttered blankly. It can't be like this. no pulse He was obviously alive, but again……. what to do What should I do? He wiped the flowing hair of his brother. Siriena didn't even move. Mikhail just stood still, not knowing what to do with Siriena. That was then. “……you." Charon's neck was excited above his head. Lee heard. When he lifted his head, he saw the blood-stained Azerite coming out of the castle. It was then that Mikhail realized. Oh, it's your fault. *** The dwarfs flocked endlessly. Azester slashed the knights with an annoyed face. At some point, the knights were all annihilated. Aster frowned as he looked at my blood-stained bone. What if Siriena doesn't like it? Worried, Aster made strides forward. Then someone grabbed the lock of Aster's trousers. Aster looked down. “Ugh……help me…….” The knight, whose vision was stained with blood, could not tell whether it was an enemy or an ally, pleaded with Azester. Azester looked at the knight with unimpressed eyes. “……My, I know the lord's cellar. So save me... … .” It's the lord's cellar. What's the benefit to me knowing that? I wasn't interested. “There is a whole lot of information about eternal life…….” Azerbaijan, who was about to turn away from the knight, stopped. Siriena, whose body is easily broken, came to mind in Aster's mind. I don't expect anything big in the lord's basement. Still, is there anything useful? “Where are you?” “Sa, if you save me, I know, Ryeo…….” He was a pretty annoying little guy. Aster sighed and knelt down on one knee. And he sent a pure white light towards the knight. "Eww……Ah?" As my wounds healed little by little, the knight's eyes widened. Aster did not heal all of them, but only made enough for the knights to do their job. But that was enough. After absorbing Siriena's power, Ajester was able to use some healing magic. “I don’t like to waste time, so I wish I could tell you sooner.” Realizing that I was in pretty good shape, the knight hurriedly moved. The momentum to attack Aster with the knights a while ago disappeared, and the knight kept his promise. Because I decided to protect the newly acquired life carefully. Azester entered the basement led by the lord. The basement was just as Aster had expected. A lot of experiments were prepared here, so the magic circle and various experimental tools were lined up in the center. Aster looked at it and smiled. When Aster first entered this town, the former lord demanded a large sum of money from Aster. It was a reasonable reason to have to pay money to live in this village, but the outrageous amount was nothing short of a sham. Aster, who did not want to cause trouble, was willing to get off. Until he found out that the former lord had a terrible connection with the warlocks. So killed it. That is how he came to be called a mad wizard in the village. It's funny. Who is the true madman between the lord, who pours the money he has collected into magic, as if extorting the villagers? Azester put an end to his useless thoughts and began to browse through the books that reported the experimental process. Most of what Aaster knew was or was wrong. Still, there were no results. It was a pretty interesting experiment. Azester took a few books. This will help strengthen Siriena's body. Aster laughed happily. That was then. "you you…….” The lord came to the basement, not a mournful horse. The lord's colorful clothes were torn and stained with blood, making it difficult to recognize the original form. 'You came all the way here by living there.' Whether to call Hypron Aites incompetent or to honor the lord, Azeri pondered for a moment without meaning. “Do you dare to be safe?” “…….” “Soon the warlocks will kill you……！” “Are you still out of your mind?” Aster picked up the book, covered her mouth, and smiled. “Aren't you supposed to wake up when I killed your father?” “……you you." “It’s stupid.” Aster came to the front of the lord. Then he stopped for a moment, looked at the lord, smiled and passed by. “Take a good look at it once in a while.” Not killing the lord was the most painful death for him. Aster came out of the basement like that. I came out of the lord's castle, wondering where to find Siriena. And what Aster saw... … . It was the sight of the dead Siriena in the arms of Mikhail Melfort. Aster was holding back the tingling sensation in her stomach. Siriena, whose body was not perfect, continued to die, and Astera watched the scene several times. I watched it enough to get used to it, but it was still a scary and terrifying moment for Aster. “Did you do this?” As Aster approached, Mikhail asked. It was the eyes that confirmed that it was Astera who killed Siriena. There was no room for objection because it was not wrong. Astera reached out to take Siriena. But Mikhail hugged her tightly as if to protect her brother. “Do you not want to save your brother?” “……what." “……Please.” Mikhail's eyes widened at Aster's words, which were close to begging. “We must save Siriena. So…….” “……You can really save it, right?” Aster hesitated for a moment to answer. But. Even if it is impossible, it will be saved. “It can be saved.” Mikhail, with eyes full of anger, handed Siriena over to Azester. If only I could save my brother... … . Mikhail closed her eyes tightly. Astera hugged Siriena, who returned to her arms fondly. *** When I opened my eyes, I was again in red water. Now it wasn't surprising. I calmly got up. It seems that he collapsed due to overwork today. Of course, it is a little contradictory to say that he collapsed in the dead yard. I grabbed my throbbing head and remembered what had happened before I collapsed. What happened? I looked around. flat. When I woke up, Aster was watching over me, but now there was no one there. “Azester?” As I got out of the bathtub and came out of the bathroom, I heard a commotion. “Hey, you crazy bastard!” And there, Mikhail, who was screaming and rushing to Aster, and Maxion trying to stop him. ……come back later Spoiler: 21 Aster's head was torn as if he had been hit. The vase, which had been in good shape, was broken and rolled on the floor. "excuse me…….” I pretended to be popular and called them. Then Mikhail, who was drawing a sword, stopped and looked back at me. Maxion was drying him. Aster, who had been standing still, quickly opened her mouth with concern. “Siriena, are you okay?” "Where are you going!" As Aster comes up to me with a fuss, Mikhail yells at my sister not to approach me. My brain is ringing in my throat and neck. “What’s wrong with your face, Aster? You're right?" Instead of answering, Aster looks at me sullenly. I gently placed my hand on Aster's forehead and sighed. I don't know how far Ajaster told Mikhail and Maxion, but to be honest, I couldn't tell you anything about what he did. “……But where is Charon?” There was no Karon. Maybe something else happened? Mikhail answered by pushing Maxion away, feeling very anxious. “The bastard, Charon, is gone.” Charon is out? “Where did you go?” "I do not know. I'll just cool off and come back." ……I thought maybe Charon might be a little difficult to handle all of this. Where and how far did Aster speak? “Aaster, come with me.” At my words, Mikhail and Azester look at me with wide eyes. “Let’s go find Karon together.” “……Wait a minute, are you going to go with that child now?” Mikhail asked as if he didn't understand. I nodded. “The two of us will find it.” “……no. Siriena, what do you believe in leaving you with that bastard? Well thought…….” “I won’t do anything strange. You promised me you wouldn't." “Do you believe that?” Mikhail looked at Aster with sullen eyes, as if he was not at all reluctant. “You will keep your promise. right?" Azester nodded slowly at my question. But Mikhail still seemed dissatisfied. “……Siriena, I.” He seemed to have something to say to me. Then he glances at Aster. “……I don't want you to be involved with that child any more." Mikhail muttered as she washed her face dry. “Now that I don’t have a mother and my brainwashing is over, shouldn’t we each go our separate ways?” Aster's eyes, which had been lowering the corners of his eyes as if to conform, became fierce. When Mikhail saw that face, he pointed a finger at that. “No, to be honest, even if I say nothing that has ever happened.” Mikhail sighed and said. “You two don’t even have a personality. What do you mean you keep sticking around?” “You, too, are not compatible with Siriena, and you are acting as your brother.” “What is this bastard?” Azester seemed to have a lot to say about Mikhail's words, but she looked at me and kept her mouth shut. “Am I like you? We are a family, and you... … Mikhail looked at Aster, and his words were blurred. Although we had been together for a long time, it was a gaze that looked at impurities that could never be mixed. “Ha, Mikhail sighed in frustration. “Siriena, are you really going to find Cha Ron with that bastard?” I nodded. “……okay. Do whatever you want.” “Mikhail hyung!” Maxion, who was still still at that time, shouted at Mikhail. “I am the opposite. A guy with that kind of speed and noona... … ！” “I don’t like it either, but what if Siri would do it?” “……Brother, are you bored? Why all of a sudden?” “What is this guy? What is the habit of talking to you?” Mikhail fed Maxion a honey chestnut. Maxion clasped my tingling head and groaned. It was then that I realized it. I'm back. I looked at them and smiled faintly. Then Mikhail carefully grabbed my hand. His hands were smeared with confusion. “Siriena, the reason I don’t stop you is not because I trust that bastard.” “…….” “You do it because you want to.” Mikhail glanced at Aster and continued. “If you see anything strange, run away from that bastard immediately.” I couldn't see it, but I could feel Azester looking at Mikhail coldly. “……I regretted a lot when I heard that you were dead. you'll do better No, I should have helped you live your life the way you want it to.” Many regrets and regrets were buried in his neck and neck. “I don’t know if it’s right to leave you with that child, but I’m just leaving it because you said that. If it looks dangerous, I'll run right away." “……thanks." “At that time, even if you really don’t like it, I will force you to take it off.” I saw Mikhail. He smiled sadly and handed over my messy hair. “……I'm glad you're alive." “…….” "really. Happy." *** Mikhail and Maxion shared a brief hug and parted. I went out to find Charon with Aster. We walked without a word. It was Azester who broke the long silence first. “You know, Siriena.” “……Huh." “I was a little envious of you when I was younger.” “Did I envy you? Why?" I don't understand it at all. “When I was young, I wished I had a brother.” “……That’s something I didn’t know.” “Because I didn’t say anything. Of course, not now.” Come to think of it, Azester as a child was different from what it is today. He was no different from ordinary boys in his childhood. “Originally, only children when they were young wished they had siblings.” "that's right. I thought it would be nice to have a younger brother too, so I ran to my mother and asked her to give birth.” Ira... … . Come to think of it, who was the silver-haired child I saw in the future before I died? Why does he suddenly come to mind? ……I think he was a kid who looked like Aster. I hope not. I shook my head. It's unimaginable that Aster and I are having a child. “What are you thinking, making such a terrible face?” “You know, Aster. What if you and I had children?” At that moment, Aster's face flushed red. Ah. ……Somehow, I ended up saying something that could be misunderstood. “……Me and Siriena’s child.” "no. done. Don’t say anything.” It is uncertain whether he will marry Aster again. ……I probably won't. After that catastrophe, you want to do it again? I don't like it very much. But Aster's face was still red as if he was about to explode. If I had talked about the future I had seen, I thought that my skin might turn red. I didn't want to see Azaster for nothing, so I strode ahead. Whether he knew what was inside or not, he quickly caught up with me walking ahead. Then he whispers shyly. “……The child may not have arrived yet.” At that moment, I was annoyed. “I told you not to tell me. I won't do it with you." “……with you?” At that moment, Aster's shy expression changed. “Then you mean you’re going to have sex with another man?” “……I think it's better not to talk with you sometimes." Why are you talking like that? "I do not know. go away." However, there was no way that Aster would want to separate from me since I had already brought it out. My salesman is like that. I sighed. The child I saw then must have been a dog dream. ……And the future, right? It must be a strange dream. “Siriena.” I was alone and confused, and Aster called me. “Hey, this is Charon.” As Aster said, Charon was sitting alone in a chair near the frozen lake. Sitting motionless, it seemed as if he was lost in thought or lost his mind. That's when Aster made a move. I hurriedly grabbed his arm. “What do you do?” “Hey, I’m going to apologize.” Words that didn't suit him at all came out of Aster's mouth. “Are you apologizing?” “Isn’t that why you came to pick me up?” “……what?" “Isn’t it?” Aster obviously thought I was trying to apologize to Charon for him. “It’s not like that.” “Then why did you bring me out?” “Is there no reason? I brought it out because I thought it would be more suitable for Mikhail if I just left you there alone.” Aster kept her mouth shut, not knowing what to say. It was an acceptable face. “And why am I asking you to apologize?” Aster made a puzzled face. “……But Siriena was mad at me for not doing well.” "right. I was angry. No matter how you think about it, what you did to Charon was not right.” “……But why?” He has a curious face as to why he doesn't apologize. I glanced at Azester's face for a moment, full of doubts. The reason was simple. “We didn’t even apologize to you.” “…….” “Nobody ever apologized for ruining your life.” “…….” But in what capacity are you going to apologize? Now, no one can apologize. “And you don’t really feel sorry for Charon either.” “…….” Seeing that he had nothing to say, it seemed that he had no regrets for what he had done then. It was like Aster, too, so it was ridiculous and I laughed out loud. “So don’t force it.” Even if we apologize in the first place, it's not going to be resolved. have come too far But even so, trying to be together was also funny. “I’ll go to Karon, so don’t go anywhere and wait.” “I am a good listener.” "okay. Listen to me, Aster.” I walked up to Charon, who was sitting near the frozen lake, with Aster behind nodding my head. Charon sat motionless. I quietly went and sat next to him. Charon, who was sitting blankly, looked around when someone sat next to me. Then he sees me and is shocked. As if she didn't know what to say when she looked at me, Charon licked her pitiful lips. “It’s okay, Karon.” “…….” I had no intention of forcing anything on Charon. I cast my gaze on the frozen lake shore where Charon was watching. We watched the lake silently. Even though there is nothing but a huge frozen block of ice. Spoiler: 22 As a child, Aster was concerned about 'the form of a family'. Although he did not express it, he was implicitly envious of a stable family. Even a loved child is sometimes hungry for love. However, Aster had no memory of being particularly loved. He was always alone, so maybe that's why he was even more lonely. Of course, that was a thing of the past. Because now it all feels useless. Aster looked at Charon and Siriena. Siriena was smiling brighter than ever. Looking at that beauty, I felt a shallow jealousy. He said that to Sirina. never brought Although he smiled very rarely, Ah Jester was always thirsty. The dark clouds cleared and the winter sun appeared. Siriena smiled softly in the sunlight. Then he turned and looked at Aster. Siriena, who saw Aster, frowned, then smiled softly. That beauty was beautiful. It was so pretty. Aster saw that beauty and smiled involuntarily. I love you, Siriena. *** Peace came to the village. The evil that the son who succeeded the former lord had spread in the village came to an end. It was revealed that the lord had studied eternal life through the sorcerers. When the lord was captured, the warlocks associated with him were also captured one after another. They say they will be executed according to the imperial law. When the villagers heard of this, they cursed at Yeongjuseong. Soon, a new lord was appointed to the Eers estate. The new lord was a collateral of the two former lords. Young residents trembled in apprehension that it might be him. However, the new lord returned to the villagers the wealth that the former lord had forcibly ripped off. It did not stop there, and the new lord seriously thought about how to lead the young ji and took care of the resident with sincerity. It was truly peace. and……. “Lena, how are you?” Grandpa Max is back. “Grandpa Max!” “The installment!” Lena's younger brothers smiled happily and hugged Grandpa Max as if they were running. However, Lena looked at Grandpa Max with a frown on her face. “Where the hell have you been, Grandpa?” “I’ve been a little busy.” Max laughed awkwardly. It was a secret to help the young man to uncover the lord's secret. All he had done was to provide evidence, but to the old Max, it felt like a youthful adventure. Anyway, maybe it's because everyone is at peace. The villagers found their vitality. Meanwhile, the capital was also noisy. “It is said that the Melport girl is alive!” After the warlocks, surprising news was delivered. Three years ago, during that incident, the warlocks had an accident and Siriena's body had not been found. So I thought he was dead, so I had a funeral without a body... … . Siriena fell to a distant land by magic. And while he was dying, he was miraculously given to the villagers and survived. And it is said that her fiance, the Duke of Agernia, who did not give up and searched for her, managed to save her alive. All of a sudden, the mad duke had turned into a romantic. Upon hearing all of this, Siri clicked my tongue as if it was ridiculous. “What kind of romantic is that? obsessive.” Azester smiled and kissed her next to what was so good. “You’re engaged, Siriena.” “…….” “Everyone asked when we would have dinner.” At Aster's words, Siriena straightened up. “Because I’m not marrying you.” Determined to be single for the rest of her life, she defeated Aster. However, Azester happily hugged Si Liena. Siriena waved her arms as if to go away, but showed no sign of falling. “Are you okay now, Siriena?” “……Not bad.” Astera looked closely at Siriena's body. As Astera worked hard to heal Siriena, her condition improved a lot. It was still unreasonable to use magical powers, but instead of being exposed to other people's magic, he didn't hesitate. In order to return her to the healthy body she used to be, Aster looked after her carefully. Thanks to this, she was due to return to the Empire sooner or later. It was because he was in a tedious recuperation so as not to be exposed to magic in a distant land. Oftentimes, Mikhail came to see me in Siri, where he was being treated. Each time he looked at Aster and frowned, but Mikhail gave Siriena a beautiful bouquet of flowers. “Come on, a present.” “What flower is that?” "I do not know. There are flowers outside, so I picked something.” The pretty, well-arranged flowers were harmoniously packaged as if they were well-managed at a flower shop. Aster, who was standing by, spoke to Mikhail as if mockingly. “You're not attentive, Mikhail Melfort. Do you know what that flower means?” “……Freesia. I bought this because I was hoping for a fresh start. Are you okay?” Mikhail nodded dissatisfied. It seems like you put a lot of thought into choosing it, but I don't know why you're pretending not to. But being grateful was grateful. “Pretty, thank you.” At Siriena's words, Mikhail put on an awkward expression. “……Ah. Charon and Maxion are graduating soon.” "really?" Mikhail looked at Siriena carefully. Azester recognized the gaze and opened his mouth. “Until then, don’t worry, I will recover safely.” “……Will you come too?” Mikhail, who was relieved, looked at Aster. Don't you think you should fall for it? It was the same eyes. Aster shrugged without answering. “Rather than that, Siriena needs to calm down, so it’s better to stop and go.” “Are you lying? Are you saying that when I come every day, Siriena needs to rest?” “Hey, you got it.” “This kid…….” “Both are noisy.” It was an atmosphere that seemed like a fight would happen soon, but with Siriena's words, both men kept their mouths shut. It was a peaceful afternoon. After the visit, Mikhail returned and it was night. Siriena looked out the window and looked at the dark landscape with the sun gone. “Aaster, I want to go for a walk.” “The night wind is picking up, Siriena.” There was a hint of disapproval, but he could not defeat Siriena. Astera forced Siriena to cover her with a blanket, in case she was cold. For this moment, even a strong tenacity could not defeat Azester. The woman with the blanket covered her and the man who was overly concerned that she might suddenly fall out of the house went out. The two walked out without a word. Siriena was the first to speak. “Aster, maybe I will be busy when I go to the Empire. There is one thing I need to work out.” At those words, Aster made a look of what was going on. “A question about the Warlock... … .” Unsurprisingly, as Siriena had feared, Aster's expression deteriorated. “Aren’t you over with them now?” “It’s over. But there is one thing left to do.” “What is it?” Aster opened her mouth as if anxious. Siriena remembered her promise to Cedric. I have decided to help innocent children with black magic not be sacrificed. “Yeah, good job.” As Aster's face hardly straightened, Siriena pinched Aster's cheek. “Siriena…….” “I know what you are afraid of. But you don’t have to.” “…….” “Sometimes I hate and hate you, but I don’t throw it away.” “…….” “And I told you before. Does throwing it away mean that you are abandoned?” Aster smiled softly at those words. Aaster hugged Siriena. “……that's right. It won't be thrown away. never." Siriena sighed as she watched Azera clinging to me. She stroked Aster's soft hair. As she stroked her straight and pretty forehead without thinking, Aster's purple eyes looked at her. “I love you, Siriena.” Her purple eyes are round and her red lips are beautiful. build As the ecstatically beautiful face came close, Siriena immediately turned her head. After that, he separates from Aster and hurriedly walks ahead. Aster has hurriedly followed Siriena. The tip of her ear was slightly red because it was a cold day. Aster, standing next to her, grumbled dissatisfied. “Siriena, you say you won’t throw it away.” "I do not know. hey.” *** The news that Siri or Melport is alive has spread farther than expected. Even on any hidden island far away from the Empire. Igeltoo wept and laughed when he heard that Siriena was alive. He, too, was the one who didn't give up on Siriena thinking she was still alive. I have been looking for Siriena diligently for three years. “Igeltoo! A letter has arrived!” Igeltoo, who received the letter without thinking, shook his hand when he saw the sender. ……Ah. It was Sirina. When he left the Empire, only Siriena's family was informed of his location. and asked If you're looking for Siriena, please let me know where you are. Igeltoo opened the letter with a trembling heart. Even before reading the letter, hot tears fell on this letter. The letter smelled of nostalgia and welcome. [How are you, Igelto?] Seeing the letter, Igelto smiled brightly. Long time no see, Siriena. *** Not sure why people assume it's tragedy when the ending was "happy" and not open ended since she did get revived. This is the last few mtl sentences of the main story - epiloque: Spoiler I coughed reflexively, and I noticed a emaciated face. The man had a sharper face than before. Dark circles under the eyes created a decadent atmosphere. “Ajester….” “…….” I’m sure I was dead……. Ah. He succeeded in reviving me through that endless pain. “……I’m sorry, Sirina.” He cried. I cleared up the guilt I had with him. And I let go of my compassion— my love for him, which had both compassion and affection, was completely indescribable. I opened my stuck lips with difficulty. “Well done….” This is it. The punishment handed down to him is over.
After reading all the spoiler I'm confused if i should read it or leave it.... I will read it, see if i feel attraction...like i hated "the double agent" story but couldn't help going back reading it anyway
thank you so much. does anyone know who’s Igelto? (side story 22) I’ve read some of the novel last year and forgot everything
Are you kidding me, author? What kind of effing ending is this? Why did MC kill herself if all her loved ones are fine and can finally be happy? I can't believe we haven't got a single moment of fluff, even after MC's brought back to life. First of all, in the beginning the mc seemed normal. She didn't suffer any abuse or anything so how tf did she become so twisted? I don't agree that the author is good at characterisation, she just writes most characters unnecessarily screwed in the head, from reading the spoilers. The moment ML got rid of the brainwashing, they should have started being a loving couple, happy ending right there. And she could add some angst from dealing to the villains in the later half of the story. MC just ignores and is cruel to ML and everyone else who cares for her for no reason. What was the point of the reincarnation, if she was just as sick in the head as the original villainess?? Thanks everyone for the spoilers, btw! I hope the manhwa will be different from the novel.
****DISCUSSION**** oh my god I completely feel the frustration with this one. The thing about the characters is that I understand the logic behind the development of their personality throughout the course of the story BUT i also don't agree with it and think that they could've also developed differently??? There were other directions that the author could've taken but the author repeatedly chose the most tragic option I'm comparing her past life / present life and trying to reason from both the author's POV and my POV in this one..... Spoiler: MC - the compulsive liar What I'm most frustrated about is MC's compulsive lying??? It's like why??? I kind of understand but why???? Her lives Past life: Her past life seemed uneventful and unlikely to be behind the reason for her lying a current life: the main cause of the trauma is the mother. I don't remember the brothers being involved in her mental torture. The brothers were protective of her towards ML, but I don't believe they were culprits in handling the brainwashing Me trying to reason this out but still not agreeing Author POV: If I think about it from author's standpoint, it sort of makes sense that she felt the need to lie to protect herself. The environment her mother created was a terrible place for a child to grow up in. The mother may not have harmed her, but she did actively try to manipulate MC to carry out her will, like frequently suggesting to have relations w/ ML to produce a powerful baby, that could act as her mother's chesspiece. Having a parent that only looks out for their own interests can create a deep sense of insecurity, making the child feel as if their needs are not as important and that it's futile to even express what they want. When that happens the child can grow up wanting to act out to get the attention they didn't have when they were younger, like compulsively lying all the time MY POV: But the sole cause of her misery is her mother and not her brothers. Again, the brothers were kind of mean, but they were not cruel or violent, they were just normal teenagers looking out for their sister, they had a pretty normal and positive relationship. I don't remember the employees of their estate partaking in MC's mother's cruelty and treating her badly.... the author could've chosen to make the MC one of the two choices below... but chose option 2. 1) very guarded BUT very loyal and will only trust a few people at a time 2) does not trust anyone at all the more I typed this out the more I did not understand why the author wrote MC's personality to be so annoying Spoiler: comparison to 'How to Protect the Female Lead's Older Brother' and 'the devil' Comparison to "How to Protect the Female Lead's Older Brother": I don't actually understand b/c Serina's environment wasn't as chaotic as Roxane's. Roxane's father pitted everyone against each other and didn't hesitate to kill anyone he deemed useless. Her siblings didn't understand the value of life and didn't really care much when her younger brother was killed by the father right in front of them. The mistresses also wanted to kill other members of the family so their children could have power MC is also reincarnated.....she didn't trust anyone but she trusted Cassian (ML) and her younger brother Jeremy more in comparison to everyone. She treated them well b/c she knows the environment her father created is not the norm for other families or the outside world in general Comparison to "the devil" MC's life was godawful. She got married to an abusive husband, ML sexually assaulted her more than once, and she was locked up in a tower for most of her life, w/ virtually no contact w/ the outside world. She was also not educated and did not know how to financially support herself. MC also didn't have the advantage of being reincarnated w/ memories of her past life to keep her somewhat sane and the years of living in seclusion has taken a toll on her, making her emotionally regress to a childlike state. She has not mentally developed much past whatever age she was before she was confined in the tower due to lack of socialization. MC does not trust anyone because she keeps experiencing death, sexual assault, manipulation, abuse, etc. So...why???? like why???? Why is Serina like this??? I'm still trying to reason from author's POV and my POV, but my conclusion is that it was unnecessary for her to have been so manipulative Spoiler: MC playing w/ ML's feelings Author POV: ML has spent most of his life being influenced to think that he's in love w/ MC. When brainwashing is released, MC is still doubtful of his love and also a little scared of him after he involuntarily harmed her a couple of times when she attempted to release the brainwashing before. Her personality is also most comfortable w/ protecting herself w/ layers of lies and she finds it difficult to talk about her true feelings. She has not really experienced love b/c of her mother and the love that she has gotten was manufactured through cursed candles. ML is also not emotionally or mentally stable at this point and it seems like a gamble to trust him My POV: No communication to ML: If she has seen how much ML has suffered over the years then you would think that she'd be a little more considerate right??? Like finally telling him the truth of why she's been pushing him away right??? Like communication right??? NO. Why is she still hiding secrets from him after he's released? Also, I don't remember the ML ever having sold MC out to the mother before (correct me if I'm wrong) b/c that's the only way I can rationalize why she would be reluctant to tell him anything. Making ML "prove himself": So ML is chasing after her and he's very confused about the mind games, not to mention, he's still mentally / emotionally unstable after the brainwashing. MC knows all this and her inner thoughts are "I want to free him" but then she just.....makes him emotionally suffer. I am not sure if I'm interpreting this correctly, but it seemed like she liked being chased and liked the feeling of being loved by someone, but she's also unsatisfied w/ whether it's ML's true feelings or not, so she tests him to see how much he will mentally sacrifice or how far he will go just to be w/ her. ML's obsession w/ her is obviously not something that could be controlled on her end, but she could've tried to communicate to give him a sense of security MC hates how her mother treats people like playthings but she's also inadvertently repeating the cycle and subjecting ML to this. It makes sense to question where his love is genuine or not, but it almost seems like she forgets that he can't be blamed for his own circumstances. It seems like she inflicts her frustration onto him by never telling him the entire truth ???? The other characters: Also why does she keep thinking that she has not been loved when her brothers care for her so much ???? Did she forget about those three entirely???? What about the other characters who care for her??? What does she want from them??? The love interests are kind of questionable but is she trying to also question whether their love is real or not? But that's a question the general public feels about their friends and family from time to time???? You either choose to believe it or not..... ..... Spoiler: tragic s*icide route ending Why I don't like MC: Idek anymore why she chose to end her life. ML is frustrating at this point and his obsession is terrible, but again, he has been mentally unstable and she also knows that she is the primary reason why his level of distrust has also escalated. why i don't like ML: At the same time, ML is pretty creepy and wants to isolate her from her connections to the outside world and he's someone you would want to run away from if this was real life, regardless of whether he's mentally sane or not. This part about her being fed up w/ him is understandable b/c I don't know most people would feel if they were in this situation. the s*icide route is dumb: But why did she choose to end her life? Did she forget she had brothers and other acquaintances / love interests who care about her even if it was in their own twisted way? Was she financially trapped by her family? Am i missing something? ML was terrible but didn't she also have access to the duchy's finances for her own personal needs? am i wrong? She could've done something else? She's making go through the exact insecurity she has: But she's also twisted by compulsively lying to everyone around her. If she wants to question if other people's love or affection is genuine, can't that same question be asked of her as well? Does she not realize her lies make people suffer the same insecurity as her, wondering if she truly cares for them or not? Like ML is suffering from her? Ok i feel better now. I also don't understand the point of her reincarnation either. Maybe I'm missing a few things from the novel?? I really don't know
