“···You are going to go to Rome and report Baekseol to the country?”

“Yes.”

As always, Jules carries everything alone.

It was still the same now.

“No. They implicitly declared this land as their territory.”

It’s not that there aren’t people like that.

However, it was difficult to be sure that the person in front of him was that kind of person.

“What if something goes wrong and war breaks out? We are not ready yet!”

“As I said before, I have no intention of letting Baek Seol get caught up in my war.”

It was natural that I couldn’t accept Jules’ unfounded confidence.

Of course, Jules would know that.

“This is for everyone. What can you do on your own?”

“You know who I am and what I’ve done.”

“Are you telling us to stay still?”

“···White Wolf and Yunaira owe a debt to Romaria.”

She speaks silently and looks at me.

“If they do not repent for their past sins, I will return the same humiliation I suffered.”

* * * * * *

In the end it was rejected.

Jules was looking up at a tall tree.

It was a blooming servant’s totem, a snow tree.

“···This is a miracle.”

“Yes.”

“I heard that you made this place prosper, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.”

‘I did it?’

I just explained what a totem is.

Anne slightly avoided my gaze.

“I need your help now and then.”

“You know. I didn’t do anything.”

I didn’t do anything.

He was just holding back and boasting about what he knew.

However, there were no parts that were difficult to understand.

“Your sister was also Dantalian’s agent. But why did you fail?”

“I wasn’t angry because I was with you.”

“Don’t say anything gross!”

I shuddered at the sound of chicken meat.

“It’s true.”

Juul looks down at me with drawn lines in his eyes.

I feel pity for the woman in it.

Now it was like that. Because I also saw Jules in Isabelle.

We accepted each other.

But now, I am the only one who has rejected her.

“···Please at least explain.”

“There’s a reason I can’t understand even if I hear it.”

“I’ll listen and decide.”

Jules walks ahead.

“Before I was a priest, we were hunters.”

“···It was so cold in the north that if you killed a reindeer, it froze within five hours.”

“We lived by putting frozen meat in our mouths and melting it to eat.”

It was very suspicious.

I don’t think you’ll be happy from the beginning.

“When there is a snowstorm, the reindeer’s senses become dull.”

“We went hunting together back then.”

“Then one day. There was a time when the sun stayed up for a week without setting.”

‘Is it the midnight sun phenomenon?’

I look at the sun again.

Because this was also a cold region.

“I didn’t know it at the time, but it was when the Laobian Empire burned down.”

“······.”

Hearing this, I feel like Jules is from a really long time ago.

It was hundreds of years ago that the Laobian Empire burned down.

“The day has become bright and warm. The snow melted.”

“Our appearance and white hair were clearly visible to the reindeer.”

“They ran away even if they saw our hair from the ridge.”

“The warmth we had longed for began to tighten around our necks.”

Jules walks ahead.

We walked along that line.

“Then one day. There are signs of a blizzard.”

“It was a golden opportunity to make hunting successful.”

“But what we didn’t know was that the blizzard was so intense that we had never experienced it before.”

If it was natural, it was natural.

When an abnormal weather event occurs, corresponding abnormal weather events occur simultaneously.

One of them is the weather with no in-between.

“I didn’t know at the time. We just desperately searched for reindeer and succeeded in catching a large male alive.”

“But the good thing was short-lived. Our bodies also started to freeze rapidly.”

“But I couldn’t find a place to escape the cold.”

“First, we dug out the snow to make a shelter, broke the reindeer’s limbs, then cut its belly open and hid inside.”

“···What?”

I realized it only after thinking about it several times.

‘Because the animal’s stomach is warm.’

Jules laughs mischievously.

“In there, I heard the sound of the reindeer’s heart dying while they were hugging each other.”

“It was so bitterly cold that I thought of course I would die.”

“So I enjoyed my escape before I died.”

It’s a sound that’s more than dizzying, it’s more distant.

“He did it like crazy. You tried to get me pregnant again and again.”

Something was brewing inside me, but I felt it had no meaning, so I kept my mouth shut.

I started laughing again.

‘We were similar now and then.’

Besides, I stopped the beginning.

“So, I’m pregnant.”

“We named our child ‘Blizzard Stag.’”

“We were always together, but when my stomach got full, I couldn’t go hunting anymore.”

“Could it be that you went to meet another woman?”

Shir makes noise.

The eyes are secretly staring at me.

But Jules shook his head.

“I went out hunting alone through a snowstorm that became even colder. He took care of my back.”

“Even if other hunters returned empty-handed, my Ewa never failed.”

“Everyone in the village envied us. They said they met Eve.”

“Then I found out later.”

Jules’ faint voice fills me with nostalgia.

“My Eve only had seven toes.”

“······.”

‘Her’ eyes turned to me.

With infinite love and affection.

“I cut it off and tied it up and hid it because I was afraid it would catch me.”

“It wasn’t that I was born with it or that I was skilled or anything like that.”

“He just didn’t spare himself.”

Shir shyly avoided my gaze.

“I cried out loud while holding my Eve, and for the first time, I blamed the world.”

“At that time, Dantalian’s power blossomed for the first time.”

“With this power, I pierced the hearts of others, and was recognized for my fake wisdom and became a priest.”

‘Come to think of it, I said Jules was a knight.’

What kind of person was Jules?

“We no longer do the same work, and we spend less time together.”

“Still, my Ewa loved me.”

“That love was so heavy. I couldn’t overcome that love and told you the secret, but still… you loved me.”

Before I knew it, all I could hear was the sound of snow crashing.

Shir looked grumpy for some reason.

“That’s why I wasn’t angry no matter what happened.”

“Because I was happy no matter what hardships and adversities came my way.”

For a moment, Jules stretched out his words as if he was savoring it.

Suddenly it stops in place.

“···Before my Eve died.”

“What?”

Jules looks at me with vague eyes.

As if something had occurred to me.

“···When I died, I unleashed Dantalian’s power, and when I died, I made a contract with Dantalian.”

“What contract?”

“I will do anything, so that I can meet my Eve again.”

“So you became a white wolf?”

“No. I wanted to take your revenge.”

‘Is that what happened?’

Juul received a ‘hair cut’ by ‘Head’.

However, it would not be possible to cut off Dantalian’s representative.

If so, it meant that there was a time when Juul was the ‘head’.

“But I failed. You were killed by the ‘head’…?”

Jules looks at me with confused eyes.

“Why were you murdered?”

“···Because they tried to destroy Romeria.”

Jules laughed as if in vain.

“But the ‘head’ sensed that and stopped me.”

Elysia said that Jules was a knight.

It’s also incredibly strong.

“I remembered. Everything.”

“What?”

Jules looks down at me.

“······I was a knight who walked in the firing line.”

“He was good at war. I brainwashed people and formed an army.”

“They were not my opponents.”

“So you took me hostage and killed me.”

But it doesn’t matter anyway.

I did. but.

“···You ended up dying again because of me.”

“······?!”

It didn’t seem to be Jules.

Because I stared into space with extremely murderous eyes.

It was enough to create a haze that spread to the surroundings.

“Wow?!”

It was Anne’s bizarre scream.

Anne steps back in fear. Even Shir’s tail swelled.

chin-!

I held Jules’ hand.

“Why are you suddenly angry?”

“What?”

“You said you wouldn’t get angry if you were with me?”

“······.”

Blue eyes look down at me.

I know because I have felt the anger to the point of destruction.

No matter how angry you are or how sad you are, if someone catches you, you can come back.

The power that had been running wild gradually subsided.

“···Now it’s resolved.”

Jules smiled brightly, as if asking when he had ever gotten angry.

but.

“···What is it? That black hair… a human?!”

“You are human! Humans have invaded!”

“Catch it! Don’t miss it!”

It was inevitable that the alarm bell would ring.

* * * * * *

“If it was the saint’s plan, I would have followed it of course!”

Anne fell away from me.

With that alone, my body odor remained as a trace, and the commotion became impossible to hide.

Of course, if Anne uses her powers, she can erase traces for a while.

But there was no way this commotion would end.

Thanks to you, it showed up and it looked like this.

“···But, unlike when I saw you before, you have become much smaller?”

“The wives are pedophiles.”

“······.”

“I think you know why I’m getting scolded, right?”

He argues with the nuance that Shir is pathetic.

Seeing that, the priest silently agreed.

I explained to the priest the plan I had in mind.

“···In other words, rather than continuing to interact with Lomaria, you are going to build that railroad in our village?”

“Yes. It will be possible to complete it within 5 years. All you have to do is hold on for a while.”

─5 years.

Everything is done in it.

It seems that the priest also gained trust when clear conditions were presented.

“How can we help you?”

“As I said before, all you have to do is trust us.”

The priest looked down with a worried look in his eyes.

But even for a moment.

“Yes. I trust you.”

To them, I am the person who revived the ugly village of Baekseol.

‘It wasn’t me who did it, it was Golden Lord who did it.’

Naturally, there is no way such a person would destroy his own work.

“···But, they won’t be so gentle.”

The priest looks at me with worried eyes.

“Do you know how evil the Imperials are?”

“I don’t know.”

“They distort the past and teach it to hide their own shame. I’m sure you’ve forgotten all the scandals of the past.”

It was just as the priest said.

In the end, history is written by the strong as they please.

─But.

The strong can overturn history.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“···Yes?”

“Because history belongs to the strong.”

Now it is time for mirror therapy.
