“····I went.”

Isabelle touched her temple as if dizzy.

She furrowed her brows and looked up at me.

“···That guy is always living a lie, but he is especially friendly to Si-hyeon. Ugh… my head hurts.”

Isabel frowned and moaned one after another.

Meanwhile, Isabelle’s hand goes to Edeline’s forehead.

“What are you doing?”

“Yes? Ah?”

The thumb pulls the middle fingernail and loads the gun.

‘for a moment!!!’

“───If Jule does it, people die!!!”

“That was an accident?!”

Just!!!

“Ah!”

Edeline held her forehead and lowered her head.

···Are you crazy?

I stared at Isabelle.

“····Why do you hit someone on the forehead?”

“Jeez, I didn’t do it! Dantalian does that on his own!”

“Why is Dantalian hitting Takbam, a stranger?”

“How do I know?! ····Are you okay?”

Isabelle doesn’t know what to do and cautiously reaches out to Edeline.

“····It’s okay.”

Edeline… is crying.

“Are you really crazy?”

He secretly glanced at Isabelle.

Isabel raises her eyes and glares at me.

“I didn’t do it?!”

“···The authority is broken.”

Seth’s eyes were focused on Edeline’s head.

“The power of Ceres in Edeline’s body… has disappeared.”

─You were stripped of your authority?

Seth was very embarrassed and looked at Isabel with fearful eyes.

“···The power can be eliminated?”

“I don’t know either! That woman exploded the ‘gift’ inside Edeline’s brain!”

The gift probably refers to a tumor forming within the brain.

In other words, it means that Dantalian destroyed the link between Ceres and Edeline.

“···The power of the dragon has returned.”

“Your power never disappeared in the first place. I was just bound by the power of Ceres.”

Was it all that crazy bitch?

I was dizzy from the scheming tactics that made it impossible to foresee even an inch ahead.

“If you knew, why didn’t you help Edeline?”

“It was necessary to prepare this place.”

···Dragon.

The dragon, who appeared as suddenly as Ceres, was standing against the window.

My blood pressure rose, but I had to hold on for now.

“Why not explain it from the beginning and ask for help?”

“It is an inviolable territory.”

“Why is it so crazy to split the continent?”

“They are saying that they will imitate your world.”

Isn’t Maal’s utopia a paradise for demi-humans?

To put it bluntly, Earth is not paradise.

─Never.

“If anyone asks the people living on Earth if Earth is paradise, the answer will be absolutely no.”

“That’s just your opinion.”

The dragon glares at me with sharply forged eyes.

I’m not angry.

It was just absurd.

Do you have the right to look at me like that?

“Look at his current behavior.”

“A mere human would say something like that?”

Just a human?

Yeah, I’m just human.

You fucking bastard.

“A self-righteous bastard who doesn’t even communicate, takes away precious things from others, and puts people in hell!”

“He is stupid, self-righteous, and can only see what is in front of him. How long will you live in captivity under the curse of the white wolf?”

“You plunged a dagger into Shir’s heart and killed Juul!”

“Then what is in front of you?”

“Isabella di Habstenburg! The thirteen servants you tried to create!”

A bastard more disgusting than the servants of the beginning!

“The white wolf fell asleep in my arms! It was your trick! You killed and hurt the people I love!”

“In that coffin, there had to be a demon king who used his human power at will. But who gave rest to the devil according to his free will?”

“It was Dantalian who taught Amor how to die! A person like you!”

“Hmph. You’re talking nonsense.”

I thought my anger had subsided.

But it seems that wasn’t the case.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been this angry.

“So the next best solution was nothing more than sacrificing an innocent person?! The Black Death was already coming to an end!”

“You just got caught up in the gears that started rolling.”

“Then the guy running that machine should stop! An innocent person was sucked in, right?!”

“The moment we appear in front of Ajin, we become reality, not an ideal.”

“No. You just don’t see the value in stopping the machine.”

Because then the machine breaks down.

The white wolves and I were just caught up in the machinery of the factory.

There was only one thing for him to do.

“You should not have blocked the free will of your former agent back then.”

“······.”

“Have you ever thought about why that woman, who lived with four limbs for hundreds of years, cried out?”

Probably not. Because he must have been distracted by the gains right in front of him.

If only that had been done, the situation would not have turned out like this.

Is this all that a bastard called a servant can do?

“Do you think Jeondae Amor was guilty in the first place? No!”

“People are made by their environment.”

“Who carried the heavy burden on Amor, who was unprepared, without explanation or agreement?”

“You drove a stake through the heart of a man who collapsed from exhaustion, put him in a coffin, and tried to bury him alive!”

“Is that the best a dragon with omnipotent physical absolute power could come up with?”

“Is that all you need? Try as much as Pluto or Dantalian’s claws!”

The dragon’s pupils narrow.

“I already gave back something precious to you.”

“Something precious? You gave me back something precious?! I scattered that man’s bone meal all over Pangea—!”

“If you accepted that fact, why do you still have a bad mind?”

Damn house? The pupil of the guy looking at me dilates like a cat’s.

Soon the pupil regained its original shape, but at the same time, the power that had entered the eye was released.

As if he was disappointed.

“···There was no need to return the white wolf to you.”

A grin came out.

‘You gave it back?’

It finally occurred to me. The words Seth whispered sweetly to me.

···okay. I would have loved Isabelle just as much even if she hadn’t recovered her memories.

I would have devoted everything to her.

Even if I had to face death from Isabel, I could definitely accept it.

Even now, that feeling has not changed, and it is no different now than it was then.

“You live in the future by reflecting on the present, but I live in the present by reflecting on the past.”

That’s the difference.

Reality and ideal are close, but there is still a big difference.

‘Why did you hire an agent to handle such a cumbersome task?’

“You will never understand Ajin’s physiology.”

“You guys are so incompetent and stupid that we can’t get along.”

The dragon lifts his butt off the window.

“From now on, the servants of the beginning will never use their hands directly on you, but don’t think that we are on your side.”

“I never once thought that you were on my side.”

“You are good at understanding the topic.”

The dragon’s fingers cut through the air.

With that alone, the air is cut cleanly.

The dragon stepped into the black space without hesitation, and the cut space was sewn back together.

The unfamiliar silence that came like that.

‘···Why are there so many sociopaths among creators?’

No matter what I say right now, I don’t think it will get into my head.

I guess it wasn’t just me, everyone gathered had that look on their face.

Except Isabel.

He seemed angry after hearing my sincerity.

We reflect on the past, but we did not live in the same era.

And Isabel’s past is so deep and profound that she is still caught up in the past.

“Let’s talk again tomorrow. No matter what I do today, I don’t think the story will get into my head.”

“Yes.”

Seth stood up first and ripped open the air.

She quickly returned to the Magic Tower, fearful of Isabelle.

Edeline, who has regained her powers, appears relatively calm.

“Sihyeon.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t go anywhere, come straight to my room.”

“Edeline and Rohan’s stay──”

“Come.”

“You need to show me the room.”

Bang──!!!

Isabel puts the royal necklace down on the table and glares at me.

“Take this with you and don’t make me say it twice.”

It looks like I’ve stabbed the enemy.

“···Yes.”

I had no choice but to follow Isabel.

* * * * * *

As soon as Isabelle arrived in the room, she turned around and started glaring at me.

“Why on earth are you doing this earlier?”

“Sihyeon, who am I?”

“Isabella di Habstenburg.”

“And what?”

“Seollang Juyul and someone I don’t know.”

A different level of anger and growl rang out.

“···I am not denying my love for you. I would have loved you whether you found your memories or not.”

Isabel’s hand grabs my collar and twists it.

“Look at me.”

“Look at my jewel-like green eyes and ebony black hair.”

“Listen to the voice that is as touching as a siren.”

“Look at the smooth white skin as if painted and the bulging breasts like a female with a child.”

“Look at the big bulging buttocks and thighs like a monkey in heat. How about it?”

“It is flawless and beautiful.”

Isabelle snorted.

“I’m disgusted?”

Isabel twitches the corners of her mouth and glares at me with strangely open eyes.

“I was a host who was respected by everyone. Not a girl that any human male would like!”

“You are Isabella di Habstenburg. You must not act based on memories from your past life.”

“No. I am a white wolf. You can get rid of this image of a vulgar female human being created by your sexual desires right away. I could go back to my home, the Ogre’s nest, in the south.”

Isabel’s eyes seemed to be on fire.

“Do you think I am not a rat?”

“I just want you to live in the present.”

“Sihyeon.”

···.

“The reason I stay here is so that I never lose you again.”

The tone and pitch of voice are familiar.

My heart aches with longing.

Isabel’s eyes widened slightly, and then she began to laugh.

“Haha! This is so fun! You know it too! I am definitely the rat who died and came back to life. Even though you admit it, why are you suddenly saying that I am not a rat? Both the soul and the memories belong to Jules, right?”

…I’m not denying you.

I want you to let go of the past and live in the present.

“People should not be influenced by their past lives.”

Isabek grits his teeth and raises his eyes.

“For 200 years, I only looked at you! I am only with you!”

“As soon as I saw you, I couldn’t wait to have it at first sight!”

“I felt dirty when you slept with Dragonia!”

“When I heard Shir and Reck Carter’s moans, I felt jealous.”

“Your moans were like the moans of a siren to me.”

“I wanted to make a soft moan come out of your mouth.”

“From the moment I saw you, you were the only one in my life!”

Isabel’s alluring eyes lowered.

“But you were mine from the beginning.”

“People come with bare hands and return with bare hands.”

“You were mine. you are mine You are mine─!”

…You’re still looking at me and Zur.

Isabel’s green eyes, regaining focus, glare at me as if they were burning.

“···I wanted to bring you back.”

“I wanted to bury at least your body… but father─…he put your dismembered body in a cart─!”

“Your body was so rotted that you couldn’t even recognize it.”

“I knew he was dead, but it felt like my heart stopped.”

Jules stares at me with gloomy eyes.

“···Why did you act stupid?”

“Because they didn’t give you your head back.”

“He gave me the head as maggot food, so he told me to just take that.”

“When I think about it now… I think it was really a good thing I killed him with my own hands.”

Isabel’s lewd eyes shoot out, and her hidden hands trace her back and buttocks.

“I even killed the guy who was my father with my own hands for you.”

“I have died for you, and I have died missing you more than five times. I love you. In this life and in the next life.”

also. Again.

Isabel tries to fall into her past again.

But Isabel, who looked directly into my eyes, glared at me first.

“Sihyeon. This is a warning. Don’t ever deny me again.”

Isabel’s warning, like a knife, pierces me with spirit.

I meant it. If I did something wrong, the strongest person in the ‘real’ Pangea might turn around.

“I am Isabel and Jules, and I am your companion who remembers the past that you cannot remember.”

“I’m not denying it. I just hope you don’t get caught up in painful memories.”

The excitement on Isabel’s face subsides a little.

“Because humans are animals that live in the present.”

“······Do you want to comfort me?”

“···That’s right.”

“Then you have to pay the price.”

cost?

“First, I have to pay the price for turning me into such an ugly human woman with my distorted sexual desires.”

Isabelle’s hands begin to take off my clothes.

“There is a price to pay for me remaining here for your ambition.”

I had nothing to say.

As I said, Isabelle is just staying here for me.

“You have to pay the price for making me die.”

Isabelle’s bewildered eyes focused on me.

“Right now.”
