“He committed suicide.”

    “···It’s not our fault.”

    “I didn’t even ask that.”

    I glared at Shir.

    I feel so bad that I can’t describe it.

    That cowardice, which came from the heart of not wanting to be hated by me, made Shir feel like a stranger.

    Of course, emotions are only one side. There must be some reason.

    Lexi, who made a cocktail by mixing fruit wine that smells as sweet as wine, hands me a glass.

    “Eat and shake it off.”

    “···Was it really necessary for it to be like that?”

    Lexi felt that way.

    “Douglas was the faithful dog of Luna’s direct elves. Just like you.”

    “They received biased information, and even though they knew it was false, they ignored it and sent the person to execution.”

    “Even though I know that the reason is a shallow move to keep us in check.”

    ···truth.

    But Douglas was not one to cheat.

    Rather than that, he probably just did his job in stupid, silent silence.

    “Five wild men with families accused of unfair crimes like you headed to the execution ground without even being able to defend themselves.”

    “You know it too. Human emotions and laws have different temperatures.”

    “The points being discussed are different, so you cannot defend yourself unless you are an expert.”

    “The authority of the nobility was established without considering even the slightest level of equality.”

    ···right.

    Human emotions and law have different temperatures.

    Going to court and complaining about injustice is meaningless if it is ineffective.

    A court is that kind of place.

    “It is widely said that the two are dictators. How much is the truth?”

    I’ve heard it before, but never heard the details.

    “I said it before, but the people who want to enrich themselves are so sneaky.”

    “We provided some support first.”

    “I used the money you had left to buy magic tools.”

    “They put a totem soaked in an elixir to chase away seawater and gave it light and convenient fire.”

    “Medicines, insecticides, and food were provided. Many people voluntarily came under our wing.”

    Lexi sips a cocktail.

    “But there were people who treated respect as selfishness.”

    “It sucked our blood like a mosquito.”

    I drank half the cocktail and offered the other half to Anne.

    [thank you!]

    Anne showed the paper and drank the cocktail.

    “We ended up sending auditors to the people.”

    “Those who profited from lies have their jaws ground. To never tell a lie again. Of course, they gave me treatment.”

    “From then on, citizens began to criticize us as dictators.”

    “We were the ones who used our own money to gift daily necessities in the first place.”

    It is said that those who returned the favor with vengeance became embittered and started spreading bad rumors.

    That’s why public opinion was formed that the two were dictators.

    “Humans are also animals. The difference between wrong and right is just a sheet of paper.”

    “In the beginning, the Yunaira Alliance was composed of the native elves and refugees of Ymir.”

    “Did the elves of Ymir really enact a law favorable to refugees?”

    That can’t be possible.

    That’s probably why Ymir’s elves were called ‘direct descendants’ and ruled like nobles.

    “It wasn’t.”

    “Most people accept wrong laws without question like a trained dog.”

    “In most cases, they did not know how unfavorable the law was weighing them down in the first place.”

    “There was a need to cut out the law that was made from A’s perspective.”

    “But Ymir’s elves kept us in check, saying they couldn’t accept the constitutional amendment, so we had to do something.”

    However, Lexi’s determination was too fierce.

    Laws are created through thousands and tens of thousands of cases and the hands of thousands of people.

    Are you going to change that on your own? We had to find a compromise from both sides.

    “You’re arrogant.”

    Lexi’s brow furrowed.

    “You’re arrogant and naive, and this place is so weak!”

    “The guy who cut off your finger asked you, who was only 14 years old, to defend himself!”

    “Is that an unreasonable thing for a human being to do?!”

    “Even if a third party sees it, it is nothing more than a cub that needs to be beaten to death!”

    Even Shir looked at me expressionlessly.

    “Sihyeon, do you think you are the only one who cut off his finger?”

    “If it weren’t for your aunt and Dragonia at that time, you would have been headed to the slaughterhouse.”

    “You were tired of just fingers, so you connected them too. Who had their tongue cut out and their hand blown off? Some people got their heads cut off!”

    “What’s to blame for those people?”

    In the end, it’s just what I think.

    I was also a victim, and even Jules was angry at Yunaira’s law when I was a victim.

    “It’s okay to ask. But don’t ever doubt us again.”

    I could feel paranoia in the way Lexi looked at me.

    It seems like he suffered quite a bit from people like me.

    “Sorry for doubting you. So, did you think about it while I was out?”

    “···Yes. However, there is a condition.”

    “What is it?”

    “I will contact you every night at midnight. And he said he would visit once a month. If anyone discovers your identity, the operation will be halted immediately. If you need help, call right away, and never do anything unreasonable on your own. If you don’t keep it, I’ll come get you.”

    “···How do you plan to come here?”

    “Don’t worry, I’ll find it on my own. At this point, I am ending my relationship with the woman.”

    I’ve explained it several times, but it keeps happening.

    “Science develops the world. They say Edeline’s help is indispensable.”

    “I’m not blocking human relationships. It means to be a little restrained.”

    “Huh? Isn’t that strange? I learned this from Siyi?”

    “···What?”

    ” Is the person who watched her being gang-raped by the tribe, dragged her to a water mill, and did all sorts of perverted things to her? ”

    Lexi sits down at the table and looks at me with narrowed eyes.

    My heart sinks as I see eyes full of jealousy, anxiety, and hesitation.

    Let’s lose.

    You only have to shake off Lexi’s powers when you meet, right?

    “It’s a joke.”

    “···I can’t see you off. Since you are not here at the moment, you two should leave quietly.”

    Leave quietly?

    “···Really? Aren’t you going to see me off?”

    “Do you want to be stabbed by those who hate us? And whenever I need to send a letter, I plan to send it using Korean.”

    ···ah?

    “Korean?”

    Lexi grins.

    “We learned the writing of your world by looking at the thousands of sheets of paper you wrote and studied. It was a detailed phonetic script.”

    “──────?!!”

    They both look at me with mocking eyes.

    You read my diary?! 6 years’ worth──?!!

    “···Did you read all that?!”

    “I lived a boring life. So much so that I can understand why my personality has collapsed.”

    “Oh, really!”

    My face felt hot.

    ‘Don’t study from someone else’s diary!’

    He opened the cage, went in, and buried himself in the bed.

    Because I avoided the two pairs of eyes, my heart felt a little lighter.

    ‘···Shall we just suck a little honey like this?’

    The military watch runs no matter what I do.

    Even if you only play for 2 to 3 months, doesn’t that mean you only have 3 months left in your military service?

    “···I guess I should hang out here for a bit.”

    One side of the bed is caved in, throwing my body off balance.

    It was Shir.

    He quietly climbs on top of me and smiles with his eyes narrowed.

    “I think you haven’t had enough mental education yet.”

    “What mental education?”

    “If not your wife, who do you trust?”

    Shir’s hands began to enter her chest and pants.

    Anne also lay down comfortably and lightly glanced at me while giggling.

    At this point, I know I can’t resist.

    As the days went by, my hands got a little bolder, and my headaches got worse.

    Squeak─── Shake!

    Lexi lies in the fetal position next to me and rubs her butt.

    ···I think it would be wrong to sleep comfortably tonight.

    * * * * * *

    “So, let’s leave in 3 months?”

    ” Didn’t you come here to serve in the military, but simply apply to the military to take refuge? ”

    Isabelle’s face is perplexed.

    “Ha, but…”

    “Since there will be a Drekar spy hiding in Yunaira anyway, they will report that an avenger sent from Drekar killed 800 people, just as the two announced.”

    “···Really?”

    “Tricks and corruption are done secretly and boldly.”

    I laughed lightly.

    “The information that I deserted must have been overlooked, so you can just eat, sleep, hang out with me, and then go back.”

    Isabelle seemed to understand.

    Except for Anne.

    “By the way, how is that person together?”

    “I followed Lee because I like him.”

    Anne was clinging to my back like a ghost.

    Isabel was looking at Anne with concern.

    “···Didn’t that person do anything strange?”

    “This man never touches a woman first.”

    “Yes?”

    “There are so many good-looking women around me.”

    “······Really?”

    Only then did Isabel look relieved.

    I don’t know why you think I’m a pervert. In the first place, this person has no choice.

    “If you feel frustrated, we can take you out. Of course, you will have to wear a veil, but I think you will understand that.”

    “Let’s go out together. There are so many things to see and eat outside!”

    Isabelle laughed at Anne’s childlike reaction.

    Anne seems to think Isabelle is older than her, but how will she react when she finds out that she is actually her younger sister?

    “···Please do that. I feel like I’m going to die of frustration.”

    “Please use this.”

    He handed the veil to Isabel.

    Isabel wears a veil wrapped around her like a hijab.

    “Isabel.”

    “Yes.”

    “If the servants had not acted out, there would have been no great war or division.”

    “Of course.”

    “We would never have to suffer like this.”

    “···Yes.”

    “But the other person is the creator of the world. Just in case, I have no choice…”

    ” I said I would.”

    Isabel interrupts me calmly.

    I was just asking just in case, but it seems there was no need.

    “···Okay.”

    I headed to the temple first, taking Isabel, who was wearing a veil, with me.

    Isabelle seemed to be very interested in Ymir’s tomb, which was so high that it reached the sky, but she could not get close due to the soldiers looking at her with lights in their eyes.

    ‘That’s right, because I sat down with my hijab wrapped around me.’

    I passed Ymir’s tomb and walked straight into the temple.

    For a moment, I hope that yesterday’s female priest will look this way.

    “Oh my god…!”

    There was admiration in the eyes she looked at Isabelle.

    It was a truly rare feeling, but it was pointless to ask a question while the person in question was in front of me.

    “Please rest here for a moment. There is someone you need to see.”

    “Yes?”

    As if he hates temples, his head turns towards me.

    “We must meet the deceased.”

    “Was he a close person?”

    “This is the person who cut off my finger.”

    His brows are furrowed as if he doesn’t understand.

    Cute too.

    “···Isn’t he an enemy?”

    “Although he was not a close person to me personally, he was someone who deserved respect.”

    The strong will that has been built is clearly visible today.

    “And he was one of my master’s few friends.”

    “Let’s go see it together.”

    What are you doing? I looked at Isabelle, but there didn’t seem to be anything special about it.

    Isabelle seemed to be reluctant to look at the goddess.

    “Let’s do that.”

    We moved to the morgue.

    Douglas’ body was made up with makeup to make it look brighter, and a stone was placed on top to keep it from being seen. You will likely place a stone over your eyes until rigor mortis is relieved and you can close your eyes properly.

    “Let’s go.”

    Isabelle could not take her eyes off Douglas, who was sleeping peacefully.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    “Oh, that’s because this person doesn’t have buds on his head. It’s unique.”

    “I am a half elf. Half-elves cannot have offspring like mules.”

    “Ah… Yes.”

    Isabel nods and smiles awkwardly.

    ‘Was my explanation strange?’

    I don’t know.

    Anyway, the funeral went as I wanted.

    While looking around. A fragrant smell catches my attention.

    There were numerous lilies placed under the platform where Douglas slept.

    “···Who sent these flowers?”

    “They asked us not to reveal who they are.”

    ‘They’.

    Naturally, the corners of my mouth rose.

    Because I thought that this person’s path would not be lonely.

    ‘It seems your dedication was not in vain.’

    I expressed my condolences with my heart and turned to Douglas.

    I felt like my steps became lighter.

    “Let’s go. There is someone I would like to introduce to you.”

    “Introduction?”

    “She is called the Great Witch. You will be surprised when you see it.”

    “···Really?”

    “Of course.”

    I’m sure you’ll be shocked.
