[ Episode 370. Toward the end]
The time of contemplation became longer.
The probability of success is only 50%.
My hands were shaking because I couldn’t predict what would happen if I failed.
[“Hehe, I don’t have time. You’ll have to decide quickly.”]
I heard what Original Sin was saying, but I couldn’t hear it very well. All my nerves were on Vivian.
‘If you fail, you get a penalty. But will Vivian be the same…’
I couldn’t figure it out.
But right now, this was the only thing I could do to save her.
But what if it goes wrong?
[“Did you think you could get everything? Do you think where you live is a fairy tale? All of the people who have died at your hands so far have had their own lives and lives. Don’t you think I’m too greedy for the subject of stepping on my life?”]
“You’re right.”
In my previous life and now, I always sacrificed someone’s life to survive.
“But so what?”
Even if I go back to the past and the same situation comes, no, even if it happens again and again in the future, my choice will not change.
It didn’t matter if you cursed at me for being selfish.
I wasn’t a saint, and I wasn’t that grandiose.
‘I wouldn’t be able to bear it if the result of all those things was to lose Vivian, but…’ It
was a time of choice.
I accepted the message that appeared in front of Vivian’s sleeping face.
[Vivian Cromwell]
[Evolving…]
[Remaining time: 715 hours 41 minutes 03 seconds]
The die was thrown.
Approximately 720 hours came out, but in terms of days, it was about 30 days.
[“Yes, life is always a series of choices. Still, you’ve made not-so-bad choices so far. Honestly, I haven’t lost anything.”]
“What’s your name.”
[“What?”]
“Isn’t it time to tell you at least the name? Your name is not the original sin.”
I hugged Vivian carefully.
As if there was no pain caused by evolution, he seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
[“I was called the observer. There was a similar name, but I’ve forgotten it for a long time.”]
Actually, I wasn’t curious about the name.
It was just a story that I brought up because I needed someone to talk to somehow, but it was meaningless to find out.
“Are you done?”
Angela, freed from bondage, came over and looked at Vivian and sighed.
“Aren’t you dead?”
“yes.”
“What about your mother?”
“It is extinct. Now you will be able to inherit the position of queen.”
Despite the uproar, the altar remained intact.
Angela saw that, nodded, and patted my shoulder.
“great job.”
“I’ll just go.”
“……I’ll post directions. And when the succession is over, I’ll go see it this time.”
“yes.”
Even though I was talking to Angela, my mind was all over Vivian.
Did I really make a good choice?
Lust was obtained, but Vivian was put into a coma. If I had known this would happen, would I have given up lust?
‘For now…’
……Let’s go home.
I missed my family.
**
I was so distraught that I did not know how I got back to Cromwell. Thanks to that, it was a time where I could feel that I was such a weak person.
“Sister Vivian?”
The first person I met was Lucia.
Hollington had fled to our estate with most of his family and family.
“Are you sleeping?”
“……uh.”
Lucia’s eyes twitched.
Did you read the anxiety in my answer?
“It’s not just sleeping. What happened?”
“Let’s go to the room first.”
I headed to her room with Vivian on my back. It was even more heartbreaking because her room was assigned to my side, saying that she always had to escort me.
As she put Vivian to bed, people who had heard the news before she knew it came to visit.
“Brother, what happened?”
Amy, who is always busy with Yeongji’s work, asked me with a worried expression.
what to answer
Should I say this happened while dealing with the Vampire Queen? Or should I say that I became like this because of my greed to obtain sin?
“I’m breathing evenly…”
Diene was watching Vivian’s condition.
I didn’t know that she would still be here, but seeing her look after Vivian was a little comforting.
“It was overkill.”
“Did you overdo it?”
“I met an enemy stronger than I thought. I thought I would be enough alone, but in the end, I got help from Vivian.”
Even I thought about it, the words were disorganized, but Diene didn’t ask in detail.
“I don’t know what happened, but what caused you to fall asleep?”
“I used Aura Biggi. I fell asleep because of the aftereffects.”
“Come on?!”
Everyone in the room looked at Vivian with surprised faces. Looking at it like that, I don’t know myself.
“It’s not magical, and it’s not caused by disease. The problem has become a headache.”
“I will wake up in a month.”
“one month? How do you know that?”
I closed my mouth. I didn’t want to think about the fact that the chance of evolution success was only 50%.
waking up unconditionally Vivian will wake up like nothing.
……I wanted to believe that.
smart!
Amy opened the door at the sound of a knock on the room door. Then Evan, whose face was hard to see, was standing there.
“Evan.”
“I came right after hearing the news of your return, my lord.”
He seemed to take a sneak peek at the atmosphere and situation in the room, then quietly withdrew.
“You seem busy, so I’ll be back in a little while.”
“no. Let’s talk.”
Anyway, being by Vivian’s side didn’t change anything. Now was the time to do what I could without procrastinating.
I left the crowd and walked outside with Evan for a while.
“Looks like something happened.”
“Because of me, Vivian is in a coma.”
“You mean that escort knight? Leave it to Salem Yedidiah.”
“it’s okay. Because I already took action……”
I slurred my words and walked towards the floor.
Then Evan suddenly grabbed my shoulder.
“Evan?”
“Lord. Don’t try to carry all your burdens alone. Sir Vivian must have been glad to have been of help to his lord.”
“…….”
It may sound like something that comforts you, but it didn’t touch you.
I will probably never forget that proposal, the last thing Vivien showed me before she came and played a match.
“If you see Evan here, what’s going on?”
“We have identified the location of the emperor.”
oh emperor
I couldn’t even think about it because all my nerves were focused on Vivien.
“As expected, I was good at trusting and entrusting it to Evan.”
“It is understood that the Emperor is now in the Shaiya Desert. The last bell leads there.”
“The Shaiya Desert.”
It is a place that must be visited someday.
But is it really a coincidence that the emperor went there?
‘In the Shaiya Desert, one of the sins, gluttony, lives. Those who bit off the roots of the World Tree were the bastards of gluttony.’
The sins I got were a total of 4, including indolence, greed, anger, and lust. One of the other three, Jealousy, was hidden in a secret place in the meeting, and I had already asked Morn to bring it to me.
Then, considering that 5 were already in hand, there were only 2 remaining, Arrogance and Gluttony.
‘I don’t know where Oman is.’
However, if the gluttony was solved, at least one arrogance was irrelevant. There was a high probability that the emperor had that arrogance.
“I will go to the Shaiya Desert.”
“Are you going to deal with the emperor?”
“Compassion and honor.”
At my words, Evan’s expression strangely changed.
“Are you saying that there are other purposes as well…?”
“I originally had an idea to go to the Shaiya Desert.”
Come to think of it, many things were intertwined in the Shaiya Desert.
There was gluttony, which was a sin, and my favorite sword, Galaksur, also came from the Shaiya Desert.
‘I heard from Wu Guan that Luna’s blood relatives were also in the place where the Shaiya Desert used to be. Before it becomes a desert…’
In addition, Sin, a heterogeneous organization related to Agatha and Deshurn, also had its base in the Shaiya Desert.
Now that even the emperor was there, it was a land where various circumstances and ties were intertwined.
“Then, do you have any idea why the emperor went to the desert?”
“That’s not correct for me either.”
Could it be because of sin?
But one question remained.
If you really went to the Shaiya Desert because of your sin, shouldn’t you have targeted me?
I just closed my eyes and said nothing, but the emperor must already be convinced that I have the original sin.
‘But why did you go to the desert without targeting me first?’
I honestly don’t know why he went all the way there if he wasn’t looking for gluttony.
“Evan.”
“Did you call?”
“Can I go with you?”
“Of course. Rather, it is an honor.”
If only the emperor was blocked, virtually all destruction-level episodes would have been prevented. Then there is no need to save power.
“We will mobilize all available numbers.”
“I will pass on the master’s orders to the other members.”
“As soon as Morne arrives, we will depart. Please.”
“Has confirmed.”
Evan lowered his head in response and immediately moved. Probably going to Salem or Maximin.
‘Vivian.’
My goal was to finish everything before she woke up. To live a happy life with her and everyone without any more dangers.
‘Original sin and transcendents. I don’t know what you want from me, but I’m going to live my life.’
It was not the time to be sentimental.
I immediately started preparing to leave for the Shaiya Desert.
**
A few days later.
Morn returned with jealousy.
“You’re going to fight the emperor?”
“yes.”
“Heh heh heh! great. I knew that a day like this would come someday, but…”
Because it was a gathering of people, the wrinkled eyes of Morne, who was using his respect for me, were wet.
“I’m sorry. It’s old, so it’s the main book.”
“no. More than that, I didn’t know that the godfather hated the emperor so much. If I had known you would be so happy, I would have gone a little faster.”
When I said it lightly, he smiled.
“It’s a little rude to say this, but my lord’s father, Kane Cromwell, was like a child to me. The one who betrayed Kane is the emperor.”
I already knew that Morne had a special thought for my father. No, in fact, I knew the vague fact that there was something connected with our family even before that, except for my father.
“I am so happy that I can get my revenge before I turn to dust.”
“I am very reassured that my godfather is helping me too.”
I turned my head and checked the rest of the members of the Shayah Desert Expedition.
Salem Maximin Evan Morn Luna.
In fact, there were many more, including Isabelle and Louise and Agatha Noah Lucia Dmitri, but they chose to stay for the estate.
“Leave this to me. Last time I was treated in vain, but it won’t happen again.”
Just then, Isabelle spoke to me as if to reassure me.
She was always sorry for me after that, as if the experience of being attacked by the Blue Knight of Death was still in her heart.
“I believe. every.”
If I didn’t trust them, I wouldn’t have entrusted my younger sister Amy and sleeping Vivian. And they were looking at me with an expression of great responsibility, as if they were aware of that.
“Shall we depart?”
“Gazuaaa!”
Luna shouted vigorously and went out of the mansion first.
The time has come to end the long bad relationship with the emperor.
