Unfortunately, the black one missed.

It was a mistake to try to stab him with his left arm, which was still recovering, and the sword he swung missed and cut off his ankle, which was much lower than his neck.

But it doesn’t really matter.

Anyway, I plan on doing it right this time.

“Okay… Wait a minute! Leon…!”

“Just a moment, what just a moment? I don’t want my life to be controlled by you anymore.”

And I’m not weak enough to have to bother the Demon King’s family just to deal with you anymore.

Just as I was about to strike down the silver sword, someone blocked my path.

“…Han?”

When I looked up, I saw a familiar face again.

The armored man who assisted me when I went to the Elf Forest to seek revenge last time. I didn’t have any ill feelings toward him, but I felt I should at least ask him why he was blocking my path.

“Why are you blocking me? And since when?”

“First, I was ordered by the Demon King to protect Lady Leah when her life is in danger.”

“But why are you blocking me?”

“…”

Han was silent for a moment and then opened his mouth again.

“I know it’s shameless, but… could you please give me a brief reprieve from the execution?”

“Why?”

There would be no reason for Han to cover up his number. At least, the last time I saw him, he was like a loyal knight himself, so I was even more suspicious.

“My, … blood relatives.”

“What…?”

“My real name is Han Seung-woo. I surrendered to the Demon King’s army and joined them. I am the one who labeled the Han family a traitor. Therefore, Soo, or Han Soo-ah, is my younger sister. We were born from the same parents. ”

…?

?????????

What the heck, our genre was a soap opera?

“If you are going to execute me, I will do so, but before that, I have something to ask that child. Could you please postpone the execution for a little while?”

*****

Han Seung-woo, who Leah had known as Han until now.

He was Hansooah’s older brother, and it was an open secret in the Demon King’s Castle that no one (except Leah and Faber) knew about.

“What? I’m not stupid! ”

If you hear the voice of some old dog king, you are surely mistaken.

In any case, it is only natural that Seungwoo Han, who was such an open traitor, still had feelings for his family.

As he knew that his family was destroyed because of him, he also felt guilty.

Still, Han did not find out about his family.

It was because of something you could call belief, or stubbornness.

No, it feels a bit too late to be coming out at that age, but it would be more correct to say it was a period of rebellion.

By the time my worries about my family grew beyond that, it was already too late, and time passed by without any news being delivered.

But Han discovered, whether by good or bad luck,

My sister, who almost died while struggling with her own flesh and blood holding onto Leah’s leg.

Even though I had never seen his face, I could tell he was my blood relative.

And then you can ask her.

What happened to your parents?

*****

“So, you want to ask about your parents’ recent situation, right?”

“Yes, of course, according to Leah’s will-”

“No, it’s not that hard of a request. You did something.”

I threw the number of bubbles and fainted at Han Seung-woo.

“I’ll take care of the aftermath. My desire for revenge has been neutralized after going through the previous three people. Just make sure I never see you again.”

I heard from Abel that he was incredibly loyal, so this should be fine.

“But… if by any chance he crawls out and clings to me again, I won’t be able to let it go. You know that, right?”

“I will keep that in mind.”

And, crucially.

It wasn’t a look of intent to save him. Even if he falls into the hands of Han anyway, the person who kills him will just change.

Oh, good.

Even just talking to her drains her mental strength, and her subordinates are in charge of dealing with her.

Since you’re already hurt, shouldn’t you really rest today?

I threw myself on my bed, trying hard to ignore the screams coming from Seungwoo Han and Soo.

Did too much happen today? I’m starting to feel sleepy…

…zzz.

There is Abel, and he lives with his family in the Demon King’s Castle.

As if that wasn’t enough, the women of the now fallen warrior party were nothing to Leah.

And perhaps forever, it will be so.

*****

“…Did you say water?”

Han Seung-woo felt quite complicated.

It was kind of an appropriate reaction, seeing as how my sister was one of those bitches Leah always called trash.

How did my bloodline become so twisted?

“Because of you, I… …was a beggar since birth. It would have been better if I had just been a beggar, but I was also pointed at as a traitor. Do you like it? You act proud while abandoning your family all by yourself!”

…ha.

“How are your parents doing?”

“There’s no way Leon would do that… He always said warm words to me… What did you do! Give him back!!”

The conversation is not going well.

It was to the point where even the delicate bond between blood relatives was falling apart.

He doesn’t even think about what he did to Leah, and while he regrets it, he thinks that she will accept it as a given.

Regret is always too late, no matter how fast it is, but I didn’t even do that properly.

Seriously, I was screwed.

This is so much so that I feel guilty towards the Demon King and Lady Leah, knowing that they are my blood relatives.

Han twirled the Morning Star in his hand. It was a weapon he didn’t normally use, but there was nothing better than this to instill primal anger.

I had followed the Demon King around and done things like this countless times.

Phew.

Kwajik!

She screamed as I crushed her thigh with the Morning Star.

If you think about the price paid, even that was cheap, but when you think about the fact that she is my younger sister, my parents’ daughter, you make me feel uneasy.

◦ Fuck … My dad is not enough!

ah.

So that’s how it ended up like that.

If I had expected it, then it was an expected result, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t know it would turn out like this when I left home and followed the Demon King.

When it actually became a reality, it was a little bit bitter.

“Leon… I have to go to Leon and apologize… I had a hard time…”

All business is over.

There’s no need to keep her alive any longer.

-Kkwak.

Han Seung-woo hit Han Su-ah’s head with a morning star.

After crossing the line, the vending machine coldly spews out late and useless regrets.

Knock, knock.

Morningstar was soaked in blood.

Was he, the traitor of the Han family, the only survivor of the Han clan?

“…Your Majesty, the intruder has been dealt with.”

Again, I knew this would happen.

Because humans and demons are in conflict.

However, his mother and father died indirectly because of his own fault.

I killed my brother, whom I had just seen for the first time, by smashing his head with my own hands using a morning star.

It seemed like he himself was regretting it a little bit.

They say that regret is always late, no matter how fast it comes. Is it too late for your regret?

Han cleared his mind again.

And as always, the body was removed.

It was like that yesterday, it is like that today, and it will be like that tomorrow.

*****

As a child, 15-year-old Han Seung-woo, who was just entering puberty, was very interested in historical sites.

For some, the chuunibyou that was released by sealing the black flame dragon in their left hand was released by him by exploring the history of the ruins.

That’s why the boy was able to easily obtain permission to explore the family ruins.

A white ruin without a single monster that has been abandoned for a long time, located deep in the mountains.

The boy explored the dungeon with shining eyes, which had no profit as there was not a single monster, and the owner of the ruins, whether by whim or mistake, gave him a deeper place.

Naturally, the excited boy took it as a coincidence that he explored a previously unknown path and was able to discover a mural.

It didn’t take long for the smile to disappear from the face of the innocent boy who had been enjoying interpreting the mural while holding a torch.

The reason why this family’s remains are off-limits is not because of imports.

It was to bury the truth.

Their family’s ancestors were slaves.

Up to this point, this was enough reason to keep this tomb buried forever, but there were a few more reasons.

The one who saved their ancestors who were slaves was the dead lover of the seventh demon lord.

And in the process of seeking it, he lost a great deal of light to the Demon King.

The true nature of the goddess is the scum of the earth that is hard to find even in the human world, and it is she who seeks to wipe out humanity. On the contrary, the Demon King’s lover tried to save humanity, but was killed by the goddess.

For a young child to accept, it is content that could completely destroy that child’s world.

But, whether it was the child’s age or his recklessness, the child believed it and insisted that we must repay the debt to the Demon King.

The boy’s parents were the first to put a hand on him.

Even if you say you will kill the Demon King, it is not enough, so how can you betray humanity? It was a statement that would completely destroy the family.

But the boy was not discouraged. If you owe a debt, you have to pay it back. And, it was also the greatest respect he could show to his lover who had once tried to save humanity by standing up to the goddess.

The boy’s parents also did not change their minds. Unlike the boy who was still untouched by the world, his parents had a lot to protect.

So, the boy.

He ran away from home, leaving behind only a book that recorded the truth about the goddess, and surrendered to the Demon King’s army.

I hope that after reading that book, someone will know the truth.

The book was burned, but Han’s beliefs were not broken.

The family’s ancestor’s will to repay the debt owed to Noah and Abel was firm, and that will elevated him to the position just below the Four Heavenly Kings.

She was even able to break her own younger brother’s head without any hesitation.

But sometimes, Han just thinks about it.

I wonder if it would have been better if I had tried to persuade my parents a little more at that time.

It was a river that I had already come too far to return from.
