I spent a long time with Stella and Damian.

Without even thinking about it.

Stella and Damian burst into laughter at the meal I served.

“This is what mom used to make.”

“···I miss you.”

When we were poor.

They lived alone in the mountains, digging up grass roots and eating them.

Boil it. I lost. Stir-fry. Dry it.

I somehow neutralized the toxin and ate it.

I dug up mushrooms and ate them, and swapped the game my father poached for bread.

Still, I was happy.

“Let’s eat.”

We enjoyed our meal at the cabin.

Although the two are now nobles, they accept this meal without any hesitation.

How much did you eat like that?

Damian asked.

“So, who are the people who kidnapped us?”

“They are the devil’s minions.”

“Devil? ···Dantalian?”

Stelly looks at me blankly.

“Your brother is Dantalian’s agent.”

“I quit.”

Dantalian’s former agent… briefly explained the head.

their identity. Reason for existence. The benevolence of a servant.

However, they were both afraid of the adventures I had experienced.

‘I made a mistake.’

Fantasy is fantasy only for me, and reality for them.

It must be very scary for the two of you to hear it.

“The point is that those people also want to avoid misfortune that happened in other worlds.”

Damian glances at me.

“···The first to synthesize explosives and make people aware of its dangers was a dragonia named Gusto. He is the person who set the mold for all industries.”

‘Dragonia?’

Something is strange.

How much did Venus and Dantalian fight to take over my body?

But a dragon and Dantalian, who are already on bad terms, are collaborating?

Come to think of it, he was a wild dragonia.

Power is expressed in a ‘tumor’ in the brain.

In other words, the dragon gave Gusteau power even after his death.

─Knowing that he is the head.

“Those people brainwashed others and used explosives in the war, and Gusteau punished them for that.”

This guy is very thorough and cold-blooded.

To the extent that he would not forgive the deviation of Edeline, who had worked faithfully for hundreds of years.

I conformed to their gaze.

“That’s right. As you know, I also exploded the Great Wall and Hein Deer.”

This is a fact they both know anyway.

So it was right for me to speak out.

“···At that time, Gusteau’s family was swept away. You deserve to be angry.”

Now that I think about it, I did something really bad.

‘I guess I should visit the grave sometime.’

If the two of you go back, let’s go back and collect the remaining bodies.

If there are any left.

“In the end, they are all good people.”

I feel relieved to see that the two seem relieved.

What we had afterwards was small talk.

By the time we finished eating everything.

The door burst open and someone came running in.

“Rian?! What should I do?!”

It was Rita who came in.

It was restless as if it had lost its soul, and its ears were folded and sunken as if it wanted to hide.

“···What’s wrong?”

“Alex came to visit…!”

Jumble-jump-

Suddenly, I hear footsteps getting closer.

Just the sound of footsteps.

But I felt like I could feel the emotion implied by the footsteps.

So the door opens.

slap!

Alex suddenly threw a curse at me.

I blocked it with a cushion.

Sigh!

“Uncle, are you here?”

“You bastard! Do you know what happened because of you now?!”

With quite angry eyes.

“Now Stella and Damien’s family is in panic, saying their spouses and parents have disappeared! I realized that in just one month! Everyone has gone crazy!”

Alex’s eyes glance towards Rita.

And take a moment to look over me and my siblings.

“···Is this your doing? Did you blow it?!”

“Rita came to see me because she had some business to do.”

“What business─?!”

For some reason, you won’t be able to suppress that temper.

I glanced at Rita.

His eyes are still filled with panic.

This idiot has been making mistakes for a long time, but in the end, every mistake turned out to be an opportunity for me.

‘It’s the same this time too.’

“Please tell me how to have a child of another race.”

At my answer, Rita opens her eyes and looks at me.

Alex didn’t seem to understand what I was saying due to a sense of disconnect.

I took a few seconds to think over the words I couldn’t digest.

“······What?”

“If not me, who else would transcend the limits of the species?”

I am also called Evangelist Lee Jong-ae.

Just as the expression returned to Alex’s stunned face.

Baaagh───!

Alex stumbled after being hit by something.

Before he knew it, Lexi was standing behind Alex and was hitting the back of his head.

An enraged Alex turned around and faced a sad Jaan.

“Master…?!”

“Go away.”

“······.”

“You told me to fuck off, right?”

Alex looked at me without saying anything.

“I just rescued them from being kidnapped.”

“Who?! How?!”

“It’s an act of hallucination.”

“You idiot! If that’s the case, shouldn’t they hide their identities?”

“All hallucinations are dead.”

Alex was left speechless by my answer.

Alex soon calmed down his anger and left the room on his own.

“···Uncle is also a very pitiful person.”

I threw away the unusable cushion.

The two were looking at me with eyes that didn’t know how to react.

“He is a good person, but he has trauma from failure.”

I didn’t know what the failure was, but I knew it.

‘Because I’ve been like that too.’

When I couldn’t protect Shir, I almost went crazy.

If I hadn’t corrected the situation back then, I would have ended up like that too.

I looked at Rita, the only person who understood Alex.

“Aren’t you going?”

“···Huh?”

“I have to follow uncle.”

“Ah!”

Rita then quickly followed after Alex had left.

The corners of your mouth raise as you see that nothing has changed since your first meeting.

After fixing my gaze like that.

I noticed concern on both of their faces.

‘Because they both have their own lives.’

That felt proud.

I spoke first before the two of them could speak.

“You guys should go back soon too.”

─1 month gap.

I don’t know what he was doing, but his livelihood must have been greatly disrupted.

I took out sixty gold coins and split them in half.

‘I said I was in a panic.’

Not only that, but other acquaintances will do the same.

The two of them needed an excuse to go back to their daily lives.

“What do you two do?”

“I am a teacher at the academy.”

“How about the salary?”

“Five gold coins per month.”

Fortunately, there is no greed visible in the eyes.

“They say they made a bet with a certain white-haired old man. I bet one gold coin a day on how long it would take for your family and people around you to forget you.”

“But, we missed you so much that we gave up halfway.”

“But it is said that the old man gave him a gold coin and said.”

“‘Thank you for letting me hear the cozy sound of the wind.’ Say.”

It’s absurd nonsense, but the situation that the two’s families and relatives went through is the same.

‘Because I realized that my family was gone after just one month.’

I put gold coins into each leather pouch.

“Buy a lot of gifts to give to people. And apologize. You were more precious than gold coins. Then your family and friends will welcome you two.”

He glanced at Damian and Stella subtly and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Hey, we don’t have to worry, you can come a month later!”

The two burst into laughter.

When I got up from my seat, the two of them also got up from their seats.

The two glanced at Lexi standing outside the door.

You know that that person is a military god.

“I’m sorry.”

Damian’s eyes widened at the warlord’s apology.

“···Yes?! What an absurd thing to say!”

“I thought that was right at the time.”

Lexi looked at me with soft eyes.

“···But it wasn’t. I only realized that fact recently.”

All the women were standing outside the door.

This is a car that immediately caught my attention immediately after experiencing an incident.

He seemed nervous because Alex came to visit.

‘If you do that, you’ll have no choice but to get stabbed in the back.’

The two open their eyes and look at the wives.

Then he glanced at me and walked out.

“I heard the story from my brother. Please take care of my brother.”

“Please take care of me.”

Let’s say hello like that for a moment.

Soon their eyes were fixed on Edeline.

The two pairs of eyes were full of astonishment.

“···Professor?”

professor?

Edeline also seemed to know who the two were.

“It’s been 8 years since I saw you.”

Emotion wells up in the eyes of the two.

Eight years ago, I was dead.

“I heard that you suddenly disappeared from academia!”

“What on earth happened to you?”

Edeline is unable to answer readily and looks at me.

Following those gazes, Stella and Damian’s gazes also turned to me.

What can I say?

“I seduced you.”

* * * * * *

The two head to the communication center.

The plan was to return home as quickly as possible with Dragonia’s help.

So now.

“I’m asking this because we are alone. Who told you?”

“What?”

“The fact that I am Ryan.”

Damian chuckles.

“Find out on your own.”

Stella also seemed to be shocked and kept her mouth shut.

“Give me a clue. Anything is fine.”

The two smile and look at each other.

Stella rolled her eyes, seemed to be thinking about something, and then said.

“It was a man.”

“Ah! I know who it is.”

“Now it’s time to leave.”

At Dragonia’s urging, the two bodies head towards the portal to Area 4.

“Your family will be resentful of you, so you really need to buy a lot of presents. Got it?”

“Sure.”

“Take care and goodbye.”

“You are doing well too.”

“Send me a wedding invitation when I get married. I will definitely go see it.”

Stella smiles.

It was natural.

My wedding was sure to be chaos, no matter how I thought about it.

“Of course. Before that, let’s go see our parents together. I’ll come find you.”

The two of them smiled and entered Area 4 beyond the portal.

Pot!

It soon disappeared.

Only Dragonia prepares to ride the wind with the coordinates of the ‘door’.

The lights in the movie theater came on and seemed to say that it was time to go back.

‘He’s a man.’

Hermann is the only one who knows my identity.

He has always been a person who values family, and for that, I am grateful.

After leaving the door, I headed straight to the dungeon.

“Have you been living comfortably so far?”

No answer comes back.

The nobles greeted me with sad looks.

I glanced at them lightly and took a chair to sit down.

“I don’t know if you had a good conversation with the Queen.”

Of course, if the proposal had worked, there would be no way for them to be in a place like this.

“Surprisingly, when you disappeared, the government became smoother.”

There are many reasons, but I didn’t really want to explain them.

“Your family has begun to cooperate with the royal family. Because you are also a valuable member of one family.”

They were poor people.

These people probably didn’t do it because they wanted to.

‘Of course I would have done it.’

I skimmed through the nobles.

“What do you think your sin is?”

Many eyes turned to me.

This is to determine whether you are alive or not and whether your family is alive or dead.

“I was looking at the moon with my wife.”

But then the nonsense started.

Now most nobles look at me.

“But then an arrow flew out and pierced the hearts of me and my wife.”

I like it─

The door to the dungeon opened, and Shir appeared.

“······!”

“That is your sin.”

It will be scary.

Especially if you have witnessed the indescribable power of Shir.

“Attempted to kill the white wolf and his mate.”

Even the nobles who had been avoiding their gaze looked at us in astonishment.

I raised the corners of my mouth.

“···We never gave such instructions!”

“But the two people died.”

Of course, not me, but the two skirmishers.

I was confident because it wasn’t a lie.

“Whether it was then or now, anyone who touches a saint is killed.”

“It has been this way and will continue to be so.”

I looked at the nobles and held Shir in my arms.

‘Now you know who I am.’

It was a kind of coming out.

To be reborn as a devil when my footsteps are discovered later.

The nobles looked at me with skeptical eyes.

“Seo, saint… yo?”

“Yes. He is a saint who killed many people.”

I looked at them while holding Shir in my arms.

They all looked shocked.

Because before my eyes were two people who created an uproar in an era.

“Saints don’t murder, but I am different.”

“Kill the enemy and stomp on the embers.”

“I do anything for the saint, then and now.”

Shir picks me up and laughs at me.

I rocked my waist left and right while holding Shir.

“That’s why you’re here.”

He grinned.

“···Hasn’t the royal family’s actions been suspicious recently?”

“The king is cut into pieces by someone… and the princess, not the king, ascends the throne…”

“The Great Wall is on the verge of collapsing.”

The nobles widen their eyes.

He seemed convinced that the culprit behind it was me.

“The Queen begged that you, who had supported Habstenburg, be spared.”

“Why should I do that? It’s easy to kill them all. So we made a bet.”

“If the queen wins, she releases you. Even if she doesn’t, she releases you.”

The nobles look at me with fascinated expressions.

He seems to think I made a mistake.

That was very funny.

“You are nothing. From the beginning, my only interest was the queen.”

“Soon, she will abolish the noble marriage and prepare to marry ‘someone’.”

─The king marries a commoner.

It was a sound that could never be understood in today’s common sense.

“It would be good for her too.”

“There are no nobles on your side anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to marry ‘someone’ who will love you?”

He laughed leisurely at the nobles.

They looked at me and Shir and realized something.

─If we leave it like this, the country will be taken over by ‘someone’.

A nobleman glared at me.

“···Do you think we will stay still?!”

“Yes. Yes.”

Actually, I want to retire right away, let alone the world.

I wiped my face and covered the face of the nobleman who answered.

“······?!”

The nobleman who was facing him opened his eyes wide.

“One day, your children may hate their father.”

“Your parents will be disgusted with you, and your spouse will return to his or her parents’ home.”

“Your relatives will suddenly stop contacting you.”

The nobles trembled in fear at the sight.

Of course, I had no intention of doing such a thing.

It didn’t matter whether they were silent or rebelled.

“Don’t worry. I treat things with great care.”

“I promise.”

“Hapstenburg will be a very nice country to live in.”

This much was sincere.

I stood up with Shir.

“The Queen will release you in the near future.”

“When you return home, please embrace and love the family that welcomes you.”

“Before you act, weigh how much you love your family and friends.”

I smiled at the speechless nobles.

“You will definitely be able to make a wise choice.”
