A shield with an overall cross and arrows and halberds drawn behind the shield.

Even the contrast is perfect, making it comparable to modern tattoos.

“Thank you for the good tattoo. I really like it.”

I stepped on the dirt and pressed it down.

All the corpses of priests who had been cut into pieces were buried in the ground.

It was all thanks to Shir that the land was able to be sold quickly.

Someday, someone will notice the rising ammonia smell, but it won’t be now.

“Si. This is how a person’s body is buried. Rather than throwing it into the sky. Got it?”

“······Okay.”

Lexi glanced at me uncharacteristically.

Shir laughed and looked at the tomb, as if something was funny.

“Are you going to kill everyone called revenge?”

“Not now.”

After the king died.

If Edward passes the throne, there will certainly be those who oppose Isabelle becoming queen.

A child born before a madman inherits the throne?

‘Someone definitely stands up.’

Even if it doesn’t come out, revenge should be left as insurance.

“Are you really going to do it? To insult a servant.”

“The reason I was able to save you was because I didn’t pay attention to what other people thought.”

Shir was smiling, but he was not pleased.

It seemed that Shii didn’t like the same thing.

“If we publicize the truth about what we experienced, we have no choice but to fall into disfavor with the temple.”

“If you make a mistake, everything you have built could disappear in an instant.”

“Good.”

I hope so.

Because the only thing I have cultivated is a corpse.

Many people have died because of me.

Even Jules, who I loved the most.

“Don’t look at me like that. Because I know very well that what I’m doing is stupid.”

“You don’t have to do it. No matter how free will it is, this is a clear mistake!”

“Don’t make me annoyed. Don’t even think about disturbing me anymore.”

···Do you work well because you have free will?

Not only did I leave my parents, but Jules died.

Shir’s life was ruined. Seth and Edeline were also broken.

I actually drove nails into the hearts of those I cherished the most.

I could destroy the world for them.

“I know what I’m doing is stupid. But… this is all I have left.”

I remember 3 years ago.

At that time, I never wanted to see Shir again.

Because I never wanted to see myself caught up in the typhoon that swept around me again.

“Jules died because I met him.”

“The priest, Hyuso, and Tinch all died when they met me.”

Shir looked at me with a gloomy face.

“Do you think it’s your fault?”

“No.”

─Of course it’s not my fault.

“All my relationships were given to me by servants. Do you know?”

“Edeline and Seth are dragons, you are Ceres, Juul is thirteen servants, and Shii is Pluto and Mercurius.”

All the servants have ‘shackles’ on me.

“I offended you once. But how many died? Even Jules, who was blessed with immortality by Pluto, died!”

Because the servant took away the blessing bestowed on Jules!

“I am the problem. I can’t settle down. I have no choice but to live as they want.”

At first, I wanted to rebel.

─But how do you rebel?

The opponent is a god who controls reason.

Muzzle and thoughts rebel, but actions? I work for them after all.

For the happiness of my people and the people of the world.

“The servant won’t leave me alone.”

“I… I can’t be friends with people because I know that if I try to get comfortable, they’ll kill everyone around me.”

Just thinking about it felt ominous, so I intentionally didn’t think about it.

But as soon as it comes out of my mouth, my thoughts become fixed.

That became the keynote of my mind and became as hard as dry cement.

People who are invisible to me.

Just like raising a dog, if I don’t listen, they will start to eat away at my life.

Just like what I experienced in Bangora. So nothing can be created.

Unless you are an absolute strong person who will not be swayed by servants, you cannot become friends.

“I am a tool.”

“No. You are a person───”

“Okay. No. I am human. I love you, my people.”

“······.”

“I love you so much that I die. I love you so much that I can take out my heart. I love you even if you kill me and insult me.”

I’m human.

I am a person who pursues happiness, not a tool or machine.

“The least I can do to those who try to tame me as a tool… This meaningless nonsense is my own form of rebellion.”

Understand me.

Please understand that I am protesting against those who destroyed the only two treasures I had.

If you, who were a treasure, don’t understand that, then what am I?

“I love the world and my people.”

I don’t want to hear the answer.

I really feel like my actions will be a third-party mistake that the victim does not want.

I feel like my life will become truly miserable then.

“I hope you don’t argue about this anymore.”

Thankfully, Shir read my thoughts and did not continue talking.

Shii was looking at me silently.

“Thank you for your help. Now… let’s take Shir back to the south.”

“···Keep in mind. We’re on your side. If the worst comes to worst, I could take you with me and leave this continent altogether.”

“Don’t be crazy.”

“Let’s go.”

White wings sprout from Shir’s back.

Just like an angel. How beautiful and sacred.

“Let’s take a look. I’ll be well prepared in 1 month.”

“Take care of yourself.”

“···Take care of yourself.”

Woe!

The two of them fly into the sky like they are being shot.

Soon, it flew through the sky so fast that it was hard to believe it was alive, heading east.

The sight of it not even flapping its wings is like watching a jet.

It’s definitely comparable to a jet, but there’s no sonic boom.

“···I’m finally gone.”

Seth, who had been holding his breath in the distance, appeared.

Behind me stood Anne and Isabelle, looking at me awkwardly.

“Was that person listening too?”

“I thought it was right to listen. know? That invisible woman.”

Seth, who was whispering in my ear like a ghost, chuckled and walked around me.

Then he playfully hugs my back.

“I am the agent of a servant who is nowhere to be found.”

Anne trembles and looks at me.

This person could do it.

···Can I suddenly ask you this favor?

“There is something I would like to ask you.”

“No.”

There is joy in the immediate answer without hesitation.

Thanks to this, I was in a daze, and it became an indescribable feeling.

“······Why?”

“You idiot. You should have said that to everyone’s face when everyone was gathered. Your real penance was decided then.”

···It’s not a lie.

Even the chance to throw away my luggage has passed away.

“Isn’t it amazing that even if you are reborn as a maggot, you can still become a human being? If it were me, I would definitely do it.”

Although his dignity had been tarnished, Seth shivered and fell to the ground.

This person… Wait a minute.

‘It used to be that even mere insects had nests and all.’

The flagship, stunned and speechless, flows back. Soon, laughter filled me.

“···It was all an act?”

“Ah, do you understand now? It wasn’t then. As of now… yes, it was an act. I took a drug that made me more sensitive.”

“Ha!”

Laughter burst out.

Why am I happy even though I got stabbed in the back?

“···Isn’t that too much? You know that I was killed.”

“Sihyeon. Human relationships, no matter how broad they are, are just cumbersome to manage. You just need to meet a few people deeply. Like now.”

It is only fitting that if there are many boatmen, the boat will go to the mountains.

It’s hard for Shir and Lexi, who keep interfering with each other and claim it’s theirs, so why is Seth like this?

Why are you so anxious because you can’t change me?

“Humans are not wandering animals.”

“No. It’s a wandering animal.”

Sets, who expressed his affection towards me like a cat by rubbing his cheek against me, was like a cat.

“What you have received is a privilege so great that it cannot be expressed in words. Do you know how many lives died right after you were conceived so that you could be born again in a human womb in the first place?”

“I don’t know.”

“You died two thousand times to be reborn as a human! To be exact, it’s number 1,987!”

“What?”

“So, did you know that dead humans can only be reincarnated as humans?”

It’s not like that, but the fact that he killed me like that gives me goosebumps.

“Maybe I would have to kill myself ten thousand times.”

“That happened in just one day. The servant said he didn’t want to go through that trouble anymore. Now I am openly supporting you.”

It is said that he was killed 2,000 times to be born in a human’s womb.

In other words, they had already been targeting me from the moment I was guillotined.

“Now when you die, you will come back to life somewhere on Pangea. In just one day! The two people listening to this must be secretly liking it, right? Because I have achieved immortality in the true sense of the word.”

driving me crazy.

Seth pats me and looks up at me with envy.

“Sihyeon, you are immortal. It’s called Avatar!”

Why is everyone saying shit to me?

Contrary to my feelings, Seth’s voice had a light tone to it.

“Sihyeon. Don’t be too hostile toward the servant and make a wish yourself.”

“The servant is sure of his benefits.”

“For example, asking for the person you love back… or asking for true immortality for others as well.”

···You want Juul back?

Give true immortality to others so they can live forever?

“For example… yes. If you fulfill Ceres-sama’s request, Ceres, the creator of living things, may create the white wolf again.”

─Bullshit!

“Jul is dead.”

The re-created Juul is not the Juul I knew.

The thought of seeing a fake Juul is terrifying just thinking about it.

“You died too. But I survived.”

“······.”

“Think about it~! If Ceres accepts your request, you will find something that was a white wolf and make her a white wolf again. If you recall the memories of your past life, what will be different from before?!”

······Can Jules survive?

no! Don’t be fooled. Don’t be fooled. Seth is also a servant’s liaison.

As a result, the dragon is the culprit that ruined Etheline, Shir, and Lexi and caused Jule’s death!

“You can live forever with the people you love.”

“Think carefully. The real medium is not the brain… it is the soul.”

Even goosebumps began to appear at the sweet words.

“···There is no need for immortality. Do you think life would be fun if you lived that long?”

“Ahh~! Don’t be such an arrogant brat! The reason it’s no longer fun is because you’re tired of your sick body and mind, and it’s not because the world is changing. There is nothing more foolish than blaming others for my boring life.”

Although he answered in a cold voice, there was no trace of emotion in Seth’s eyes.

Just love and desire bubbling like an eternal stew.

Seth buried himself further into my back.

“The day I said I would accept the servant’s will. You are no longer a tool… you have become a true representative of the thirteen servants.”

“Seth will get sick of me someday. You’ll get sick of everything.”

“It is Ain’s nature to lose interest in what he understands. It’s like losing interest in a novel you’ve read once.”

As expected, Seth’s way of thinking is very different from mine.

“···Can you accept something you don’t understand?”

“People are unable to understand children, parents, or even married couples.”

“But people change very quickly. If you change, you will always be new even after 100 years.”

“So…don’t beg for understanding from others. Because that’s undermining you.”

Are you saying that begging for understanding is undermining myself?

It’s so unfamiliar to me. I can’t define right or wrong.

“Make people judge you. Like a hero’s story, like an expensive painting in an art museum, make you fantasize!”

A face as soft as a baby’s skin is buried in my neck.

“Sihyeon. Be the perfect person for me. Please become someone higher than me so that all the women in the world can envy me. So that I can become the ruler of the world by carrying you on my back.”

The voice full of desire ironically seems familiar, putting the mind at ease.

‘This is a person.’

Seth’s human scent was so strong that it made me feel at ease.

When I think about it, I am drawn to Seth even though I cannot understand him.

That’s why Seth is so attractive.

“Until then, I will give my all. Anything.”

“···I will.”

“I love you so much. Sihyeon.”

After finishing speaking, Seth turned into smoke and disappeared.
