EP.157

“What is this...”

achievement. Suffering is necessary to achieve something.

However, the abilities of this character named Louis Christopher were too good.

Moreover, even the few personal clothes seem to be good.

“It is impossible to directly bring a dead person back to life. But if you go back to the point where that person died and make them not die, the future will be modified. “That is the result of my research.”

The 5th magic. Time regression.

By the time I tried to start research in earnest, it was already over.

Ella did it.

While she was destroying the empire and doing all kinds of stupid things, Ella devoted herself to research and perfected the fifth magic.

All he did was check whether this magical formula was feasible.

“You really are a genius.”

As I say this again, Ella’s cheeks turn red.

“Did it help you a little...?”

“very.”

“thank you!”

“I’m so grateful that I want to give you my spirit as well.”

Ella shook her head.

“For me, if Lord Ruid is happy, that’s okay.”

The magic is complete.

You can go at any time you want.

Now all that’s left is where to go.

‘...Honestly, it’s so easy that it’s almost empty.’

Until just now, I was depressed. That healed me. I saw hope.

‘If I had to change one thing about the past, it would be that time. The moment Irene decided to go to war.’

We have to stop it somehow, whether we tell Victoria or not.

If we just stop the war with the empire, nothing will happen.

‘...But it’s Irene?’

Can we just block that one moment?

Irene is honestly an unpredictable being.

If she thinks ‘there will definitely be a war with the empire’, it will happen someday.

Because she is the heir of Windsor and will become the Duke.

‘then...’

Ruid continued thinking while biting his nails.

‘We need to eliminate the reason why Irene decided to go to war.’

The conclusion has been reached.

All problems stem from the war with the empire.

“Then it starts now...”

“no. “I have something to do.”

“yes?”

“Ella wait here. ... It probably won’t take long.”

Ruid decided to ask Irene directly.

The destination is the 4th defense line.

It’s Windsor Castle.

**

“Meet the matriarch.”

When Irene appeared, everyone became quiet.

She was as usual. It didn’t seem like he was the one who caused this whole thing.

“It’s been a while.”

“Prince Damon. “I regret this incident.”

“You probably didn’t forget your promise, right?”

“Did I make that promise?”

“stop.”

The brief battle of nerves stopped with one word from Victoria.

“Irene. “Are you ready?”

“yes. All of Windsor’s troops were gathered. The monsters ahead are safe for the time being thanks to the matriarch taking care of them. Even if there is an unknown threat, there is no problem with Rosalie.”

“Right.”

“Then can I do my job now?”

Irene put her hand on the sword handle.

“I will remove any remaining imperial blood.”

Amelia stepped forward, pushing Damon back.

“sister.”

Irene smiled mysteriously.

“Speak.”

“stop.”

“Leah.”

Irene took a step forward.

Amelia’s body trembled slightly.

“Have you woken up from your dream of playing house yet?”

“That’s not it...!”

“Or maybe I didn’t realize it.”

Irene lifted Amelia’s chin with a deep smile.

“The only thing that can stand next to Windsor is Windsor.”

“...!”

“I will present Ruid as emperor.”

Irene turned away and took a few steps back. I opened my arms as if embracing the world.

“That’s how Windsor wakes up from his long-time role as a guardian knight and finally takes over the world. “What a beautiful world that is.”

“Oh, sister.”

Originally, Irene was far from normal.

He was an unusual person. Amelia knew that too.

But he was never an evil person. I could guarantee it.

Irene has that kind of personality, so she doesn’t force a smile often.

“...isn’t your sister sad?”

“huh? “It’s sad.”

“I didn’t think it was the face of a sad person.”

Because I wanted to look ‘normal’, I imitated the smiling face.

It’s definitely true. Irene-

“so? “By the way, it’s about the Empire.”

I don’t know what emotions are.

“...I actually know.”

“huh?”

“My sister lied.”

“lie?”

In fact, you may have already known it for a long time.

Luid Christopher’s hair is too good to pass up.

You can guess a lot from just a little bit of information.

But I pretended not to know.

I hated to admit that Irene was this kind of person.

But now – I think the time has come to admit it.

“Your sister is the one who planned all of this.”

“...”

“You also instigated Amelia to be killed.”

Lucius may not be outstanding, but he is not a foolish emperor.

There’s no way he wouldn’t know what would happen if Amelia died.

Nevertheless, Amelia was attacked.

And that too to a ridiculous being called a dragon.

That means-

“Actually, I hid the fact that Amelia wasn’t dead.”

Ruid clenched his fists.

“They’re all sisters.”

Irene put down Ruid. I squatted down and got to eye level.

It was still the same smile. It was still a kind smile.

“Why do you think you did that?”

“Because I want to destroy everything.”

Irene put her finger to her lips.

“That’s correct.”

“...”

It would have been better if I had at least denied it.

Ruid smiled bitterly.

“Why? why. You’re doing such a cruel thing. “For what?”

“Louis said it himself, right?”

“...This is something that even my sister can do herself.”

“Because I feel lonely alone. Louis. “I’ll tell you now.”

Irene’s face turned red.

It was the face of a girl facing her first love.

I knew it right away.

That ecstatic smile you are making right now is not a lie.

“You are neither Amelia nor the matriarch-”

Irene stroked Ruid’s head lovingly.

“It looks like me. So when everything is over, I’m sure Louis will be able to understand me.”

“...”

“What could be better than being recognized by a family that comes from the same blood?”

“different.”

Ruid answered sharply.

“I’m different from Irene.”

“I don’t know now-”

Irene said with excitement.

“But as time goes by-”

“That day will never come.”

Luid’s voice rose.

“I’ll take it all back.”

Irene’s expression immediately hardened when she heard those words.

Just as Ruid recognized Irene’s lies, Irene also recognized Ruid’s sincerity.

“Louis.”

It was just as Irene was about to say something.

Druk-

Someone opened Irene’s door and came in.

A cute maid with pigtails.

It was Ruby.

She approached Irene a little angrily but arrogantly.

“Speak.”

Irene tilted her head.

“now.”

Ruby said coldly.

“The Imperial Army is advancing on Windsor Castle. “It will arrive in half a day.”

What power does an empire that has destroyed half of its territory have?

And it’s half a day. The information is too late.

Ruid was puzzled in many ways. But he didn’t mention his doubts. I couldn’t say exactly.

Ruby was now radiating murderous energy towards Irene.

“As you wanted, the first emperor will take the lead. And the head of the family will personally come out to greet him.”

I’ve never seen Ruby this angry before.

The sound of Ruby biting her molars could be clearly heard.

“Are you satisfied now, Irene?”
