And so Eldrina’s welcoming party came to an end.

Although Glenn, whom she cared about and wanted to take care of, left first due to health reasons, Eldrina never showed any feelings of disappointment or discomfort when dealing with Yuma.

“Hugo had a good wife.”

The next morning. The drunkard who returned to the annex said. Siron came out to meet Yuma, who reeked of alcohol.

Lucia came into the annex before midnight, but Yuma was still captured by Eldrina, and it seemed like they had been drinking all night long.

“Do good people drink alcohol until dawn?”

“Isn’t it okay? Since we’re not human anyway, we don’t get drunk very often. It’s not even strong whiskey, it’s just wine made in a manor. To me, it’s just like water.”

“Then you don’t need to help me, right?”

“I seem to be getting drunk late. My head is pounding and my eyes are spinning…”

“Don’t be drunk and come up calmly. Because I have a story to tell.”

Yuma pretended to stumble and tried to lean against his wide chest, but Shiron ignored the drunkard’s foolish behavior and went up to the room on the second floor.

“You live quite frugally.”

Yuma looked around his head and said. A desk with writing instruments. Curtains and beds that do not let in sunlight. The room that was all of that made her feel fresh.

“This is easy to clean.”

“Do you clean it yourself?”

“Because I don’t like people coming into my room when I’m not there. More than that, I have something to talk about, so please sit down instead of standing.”

“…Okay.”

Yuma sat down on Siron’s bed instead of on the chair nearby. Shiron locked the door and pulled up a chair across from Yuma and sat down.

“I think the head of the family has seen the future.”

“…Yes?”

Yuma, who was stroking the bed sheets, was startled.

“This suddenly? Last time, the head of the family said that he had lost his power of foresight…”

“I was skeptical because he suddenly seemed blank during the meal, but after talking with him yesterday, I was convinced.”

“…Many Prien have been worshiped for hundreds of years, but this is the first time this has happened.”

Yuma hugged the pillow and sighed. Loss of foresight. Not only that, but the head of the family ran away from home, and other events that had not happened in 500 years occurred one after another, and Yuma’s mind was in turmoil.

“Have you ever asked what the content of the prophecy is?”

“I tried talking to him, but he didn’t tell me the content of the prophecy.”

“Are you worried about being tampered with?”

“To say that, you said what you wanted to do.”

Siron recalled last night. Glenn wiped off his sad expression as he was supported, but he was unable to shake off his energy.

“They say they have something to talk about when they meet their uncle.”

“……I know this is presumptuous, but may I tell you?”

Siron nodded as if giving permission. Yuma took a deep breath, straightened his back and opened his mouth.

“I think the content of the prophecy is death.”

“Do you want to reconcile with your brother before you die?”

“I think that’s probably true. Even though Hugo hates the matriarch now, he took good care of the matriarch when he was young.”

“There is still quite a bit left until the expedition ends…”

Siron muttered while looking at the calendar hanging on the wall. It has already been almost a month since Siriel went on campaign.

After Viktor revamped the expedition system, Siriel’s return will be approximately three months later.

Considering that previous expeditions lasted about half a year to a year, it was a short period of time, but since Glenn was acting like a person who didn’t have much time left to live, we couldn’t just wait.

‘Do I have no choice but to go see Hugo now?’

Siron glanced at the window in the direction of the training hall.

‘He doesn’t look like he’s about to die.’

There, Glenn, who wanted to spar with Lucia, was competing in a slashing battle.

It may seem a little absurd to say that the thing I want to do right before I die is to spar with my daughter, but Siron felt a strange atmosphere between Glenn and Lucia yesterday.

An awkwardness that makes the viewer blush.

Siron did not hear from the person involved what happened between the two, but it was not difficult to know the reason.

“Master, are you really okay?”

“…what.”

“Miss Lucia, who I always thought was my younger sister, is actually Kylie.”

Before I knew it, Yuma was next to me, looking at the training ground and speaking.

Unfortunately for Lucia, Yuma had reported what had happened at Dawn Castle as soon as he met Siron.

Even though it wasn’t a betrayal by Yuma, whom she trusted, Lucia still had some faith that Yuma would protect her secret.

Why? Kylie and Yuma didn’t have a good relationship, but that was 500 years ago, and doesn’t Yuma have karma for using Kylie’s name without permission?

If people had any conscience, it would have been their duty to protect Lucia’s precious secret, but unfortunately, Yuma was not a person but a devil.

And I have already dedicated my body and soul to Siron.

” Ashamedly, when I first heard the identity of Lady Lucia, my whole body lost all strength and I collapsed. ”

“…That could be possible.”

“But Mr. Master has been calm since yesterday. It was as if I had learned something insignificant. Only in this way do I feel the shortcomings of my practice.”

“…But that doesn’t change the fact that Lucia is my younger sister.”

Although Shiron felt burdened by Yuma’s gaze, he managed to put an iron plate on his face.

“And it is I who am the hero of this era. The fact that Lucia is Kylie and a warrior from 500 years ago is not that important to me.”

“Master…”

“So you don’t have to worry about my heart breaking, Yuma. Because a hero doesn’t sit down before he dies.”

“Master…!”

Yuma, who heard Siron’s wonderful words, folded his hands over his chest with an moved face. Soon, hot tears formed in her eyes and flowed down.

” This is Yuma. I will follow you for the rest of my life. No, even if you die, I will remember you until the end of my life.”

“…Do whatever you want.”

Siron sighed and looked at the training ground where the match was over. In the empty space where the ground was caved in and the sandstorm was blowing, Lucia was the only one holding a sword.

The result of the sparring was Lucia’s victory.

‘It’s definitely weakened.’

That was the sentiment I had for Glenn. Even though Lucia is Kylie’s reincarnation, she still falls short of Glenn in his prime.

Although Glenn was unable to kill an apostle, he was strong enough to repeatedly kill the five apostles alone in the Demonic World.

It’s not easy to deal with just one apostle, but dealing with five by yourself is not an easy task.

No matter how much he had the power of prophecy, Glenn was doing things alone that he didn’t know if he could do or not.

‘Are there 1, 3, 4, and 6 left?’

Siron thought about the whereabouts of the remaining apostles.

‘Now that Glenn has cleared the Demon Lord’s defense, it wouldn’t be surprising if the 1st and 4th Apostles attack at any time.’

The three apostles work around the magic tower in the magic world. It may have been a hasty assurance, but considering his earnest wish, it was not a definite conclusion.

The six apostles are sealed and sowing disaster every year on the Arwen Plateau.

‘But that doesn’t mean we can’t ask the weakened Glenn to take charge of Lord Demon’s defense.’

The Macal Mountains are long and the Makal Range is so wide that it cannot be explored without a prophetic ability as powerful as the old glen.

In the end, there was only one thing Siron had to do.

‘We must face the Apostle at all costs.’

“Yuma.”

“Yes, master.”

“Can the existence of the Dawn Castle stop the Apostles?”

“…I don’t know.”

Yuma answered uncertainly.

In the early days of the Dawn Castle, there were a few attacks by the Apostles and there was friction, but ever since the battle was established, the Prien family has been dealing with it. However, even they have never destroyed the Apostle’s Seat, so it is natural for them to lose confidence in Yuma’s answer.

The devil disappears, but unless the throne is erased with the holy sword, the apostle is infinitely resurrected by the power.

This difference created an endless cycle. Shiron patted Yuma’s shrinking shoulder.

“As long as the matriarch is here, some of the apostles must have crossed over the mountain range.”

“…”

“If the head of the family predicted death.”

Shiron stroked his lips and thought.

“Who will I die from?”

“Do you plan to prevent the death of the matriarch?”

“If you can, you should try your best.”

“…If the matriarch really foresaw my death, the prophecy cannot be avoided.”

“That’s why I’m asking.”

I wanted to stay by Glenn’s side all day and prevent his death, but Siron and even Glenn didn’t know if he was dying by someone else’s will or if his lifespan was exhausted.

“Could it be a natural death? When I see you suddenly getting a nosebleed, it looks like your health is not getting any better.”

“…The head of the family is not yet fifty. No matter how much you push your body all your life, you are not old enough to die…”

Yuma couldn’t finish his sentence. This is because during the conversation that followed, I noticed that Siron’s mind had hardened.

Guard breached.

An apostle who may have already crossed the mountain range.

“No way.”

“Who would dare kill Glenn Frien? I don’t think anyone else could harm the matriarch.”

Siron thought about the sparring that had just taken place in the training hall. Although he missed the knife, Glenn’s inaction was clearly beyond human scope.

“The prophecy was always pointing to the apostle. The head of the family is not the kind of person who would be poisoned by someone.”

Why did he want to see Hugo? Before Glenn dies, Siron will take him to where Hugo is, and Glenn’s wish is to see Hugo.

“The apostle will appear where the uncle is.”

Siron, who had been thinking constantly, prepared to leave.
