46. proof. (2)

“… … okay. it’s okay, tell me Why do I miss the toys I threw away because I got tired of it so much? Did you go back in time to find it again?”

A harsh tone of criticism.

Hearing that, Elena bit her lower lip.

toy.

… … It’s not like that. I swear I never thought so. I never despised him.

Because I couldn’t even think of a world without him in the first place.

from the moment I first met him. Until now.

Before Elena even said anything.

Lou spoke in a tone mixed with resentment and anger, as if to let out his overflowing emotions.

“You don’t know why Cale committed suicide, do you?”

Even if it’s just one word.

chin, and

The chest. Feeling like your heart is sinking.

“… … Oh, uh.”

memories of that day.

When Cale died. … … The memory of voluntarily taking his own life.

Even for Elena, it remained the most intense memory.

Even if I close my eyes, I can’t forget it.

Every time I came out of my dream several times, I woke up with nausea.

The trauma that I couldn’t overcome even though I knew that it was no longer a thing.

‘… … I will end my life.’

Cale snatched the sword from the executioner’s hand and, in reverse, aimed at his head.

Poo-wook.

With the eerie sound of blades digging into the skin.

His body swayed and fell to the floor.

The original warmth is nowhere to be found.

His body, after losing life, cools down.

Even so. What was the most disgusting thing about that situation? that the anger was welling up.

It was so painful just to watch, even though I wanted to scream.

It must have been a cry that didn’t come out of his mouth.

As if the emotions were sealed. It must have been an expression that did not reveal even the slightest agitation.

Due to hallucinations caused by the sacred objects of the false god, he could not even distinguish the reality in front of his eyes.

The shock of Cale taking his own life was enough to dispel the hallucination in half.

Beetle.

From nob le mt l. co m

Just thinking about that memory made me feel sick.

Elena, barely standing upright, breathed heavily.

I can’t run away any longer.

Didn’t Lucia come to him?

The only wizard who remembers his sins. Weren’t you investigating your own sins?

“… … That’s because I betrayed… … .”

“I only know half. no. I must say I know you well.”

Elena’s words.

Lou, who heard that, laughed as if it was funny and said.

“Honestly, I was envious. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t. I was only a friend… … Because you were the lover he could rely on.”

Lucia’s voice was strangely trembling when she said that.

I didn’t raise my eyebrows because I was laughing.

With anger, it’s close to breathing hard.

how it looks

It would have been closer to sobs without tears.

“… … The reason he died wasn’t just because you betrayed him. Because you betrayed me at the worst moment.”

Elena’s betrayal came as a great shock to Cale.

But if that was all, Cale would have been able to overcome it someday.

If only he hadn’t been driven to his mental limits.

Cale had already reached his mental limit even before Elena betrayed him.

war against the devil.

The North has fallen. The Duchy of Briseyton was destroyed and the Empire had to fight a war against disaster.

The Duke of Reinhardt, led by Aion, the former head of the family, fought at the forefront of that war.

disaster.

A monster that cannot be dealt with by human power.

An evil god that cannot be killed or defeated.

The only ones who were able to fight battles like battles with them didn’t exist except for Aion and Cale.

However, even if it was the Duke of Reinhardt, there was no harm in the war against the devil.

No, as much as we fought in the front. lost the most

“I lost my family. We lost a loyal knight, and we lost a dedicated lady-in-waiting.”

The Duchess and the household Aion died.

But because the news shouldn’t have spread.

The story changed in such a way that the householder retired and Cale became the householder.

The faithful knight died without even having time to mourn it.

In the ambush aimed at Cale’s life, while blocking the demons heading towards him.

The naive knight who had sworn allegiance to Cale died just like that.

Only then Cale cried for half a day feeling helpless.

… … Lucia is. I couldn’t help but watch it from the side.

The pink-haired lady-in-waiting also died.

A maid who awakened her original blood. She was willing to sacrifice her life to save Cale.

Cale didn’t cry then. But the light in his eyes disappeared.

Like someone who has lost their emotions. Like someone who has given up hope.

It’s like I can’t believe it.

After hearing the story, Elena looked at Lu with trembling eyes.

“… … So, talk. I didn’t.”

“of course. There’s no way that idiot could say that he was having a hard time with his lover. I wanted you to be safe.”

I feel like my brain is going white.

I thought I knew everything about my mistakes.

He thought that he knew everything he did wrong to Cale.

But it was ridiculous arrogance. Elena herself was ignorant.

that ignorance is a sin. Elena was acutely aware of this only now.

However, it seemed that it was only the tip of Cale’s pain.

Lou continued his explanation in a resentful tone.

That Cale fought.

To take revenge by killing demons and disasters, and to protect Elena.

Becoming the family head of Duke Reinhardt, he pushed himself at the forefront of the battlefield.

A more perfect sword than now.

You can protect those you want to protect, and the damage can be reduced to a minimum.

to wield such a sword.

“Breaking limbs is common, and there was a time when my left arm was cut off. Although I managed to restore it with magic.”

Although he basically stayed with Count Ray Holton.

Around the time she stayed on the front line due to the battle against the demons, Elena also visited Cale several times a month.

however. I didn’t even know that

Cale, who visited me, was still kind.

I couldn’t believe that I was in such pain, because it was the same as before.

Although it often felt a little strange.

stupidly too. Didn’t care about it any more than that.

because it’s so embarrassing

My throat is choking with sadness, but the fact that there is no one left to apologize to is so painful.

Elena’s teary eyes turned red.

“… … I am.”

“Ah, yes. I don’t think he knew he was fighting like that. Since you are a noble noblewoman, you must have lived a life far removed from such battles.”

That’s why, at the same time as envy, even before the betrayal, I was a little resentful.

Although Cale deliberately hid the news from the battlefield from Elena.

Cale is suffering like this without knowing anything.

Because Elena received Cale’s love without paying anything in return.

“… … And, by the way, you I betrayed Cale. So you’re going to come back and join Cale again? You have a conscience, right?”

There were excuses.

Relic of the false god. Because betraying Cale wasn’t his will in the first place.

But I couldn’t come up with an excuse.

It was because he was too disgusted to make excuses like that.

In the end, he betrayed Cale.

As she said, at the worst moment, the person who fought to protect himself.

himself. I gave up.

It doesn’t change… … Because it is a fact that cannot be changed.

But so.

Rather, I was convinced.

“… … I can’t leave Kale alone.”

“under?”

If Cale had lived such a life.

If you have fought such a fierce battle.

If the ignorant himself didn’t even know that.

“… … Even if I have to take on Kayle’s battle, I will make sure that he can live a more comfortable life.”

Haia so he can lead a better life.

Doing this. Because it would be natural.

It’s not something you want to atone for.

If you can bear his burden yourself. If that’s how he can be a little less hard.

… … if he can laugh

Because he could really do anything.

maybe even that

Even if it means sacrificing my life.

“Ha, what about you?”

As if full of energy, Lucia frowned and said so.

derision. Or a face mixed with disbelief.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. It’s true that I betrayed Cale. … … You can think of it as trying to atone for my conscience.”

That doesn’t mean anything.

… … I don’t even think it will be an atonement.

Let’s just say that.

Lu, who paused for a moment, spoke.

“okay. … … Then prove it.”

“… … proof?”

“There is nothing I cannot say. So, in search of the devil himself, George. Kill the ‘Prophet’. Try it.”

Prophet. If I had to call it by any other name, it would be the Great Devil.

A religious leader who leads the demons, and a sort of leader of them.

Excluding disasters, they were virtually the most threatening.

The crisis that Cale actually went through. Most of it was done by guys.

“… … if you tell me the location. right now.”

Elena nodded without hesitation.

Maybe it’s because she still doesn’t know the enemy of the prophet properly.

Essentially, it must be because he has already prepared for death.

Unlike before the return, the only spirits contracted with her were mediocre spirits except for the spirits of time.

“I know the location. Because I was thinking of taking care of it anyway.”

damn

When he flicked his hand, the magic that spread from Lu’s hand settled into Elena’s hand.

A fantasy magic that unfolds like a map.

Several locations were marked on the map.

A place where the devil is supposed to be.

“… … thank you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. ‘Cause I didn’t forgive you … … Even now, my heart wants to shove the magic into your face.”

It’s like I can’t even talk anymore.

Having said that, Lucia turned around.

He drove Elena to the trash.

The words that came out of Lucia’s mouth were too sharp and ferocious.

… … I could guess to some extent.

That Elena had her own reasons for betraying Cale.

if it wasn’t like that

… … After Cale’s death, I wouldn’t have suddenly lost my mind and been so angry one day.

Anyone who has seen Elena, who is called the ‘Crazy Elementalist’, even once.

I could never have thought that she would be normal.

And even if he did, he had no right to be angry.

It’s Cale’s job to get angry at that, not him.

But I didn’t want to understand before the regression.

I will accept it calmly. Saying that he would give up his life for Cale at any time.

all annoyed

If only it was trash as it is.

So, if that was a year to clear away for Kale. Would it have been better if

but. It can’t be.

Elena was the person Cale loved the most before returning.

At least Lucia could never replace it… … Because it was such a place.

Anger at Elena.

Part of that must have been the inferiority complex of not being chosen by Cale.

Even though I vaguely knew that, it was because I was the most unseemly myself getting angry like this.

Lou bit his lip and spat out a curse.

‘… … Like an idiot.’

-okay. That’s right, climb.

Along with that, Lucia’s voice echoed in my head.

“… … what?”

did i hear it wrong

Thoughts like that ran through my head. As if that wasn’t the case, Lucia’s words continued.

– That’s right. Fool. Worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet. I get angry, but I can’t even get angry properly. Fool. ugh How did I grow up like this?

‘What, what… … !’

without even knowing it properly.

As if he was full of energy, Lou couldn’t even answer properly.

As if it was natural, Lucia said.

-okay. i don’t know What happened in the future, what you went through with Cale. however. does that matter?

To the point where Lu’s mind went blank for an instant. confident voice.

-Before the regression, anyway, the important thing is now. Kyle is alive. because there is a lot of time

‘… … .’

– This time I, no. We just need to make Kayle like us, right? what’s difficult ah. I want to see kale.

while saying so

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Lucia spits out a monologue, saying she wants to see Cale.

Seeing this, Lu burst into laughter.

“… … ha ha ha. okay. That’s right. You crazy b*tch just like me.”

-… … what? Where did you hear such rudeness!

Lucia shows off her fright as if she said something very unpleasant.

Lou burst into laughter and shouted proudly.

“I want to see you. me too. ah… … . I want to see Cale——!”

– Crazy b*tch, that’s my body! Quiet, won’t you be quiet?!

that commotion.

It lasted about 5 minutes before Lucia suddenly took control of her body.

Lucia, whose face was flushed red, seemed to be a bonus, as if she was asking why the shame was her share.
