[Rein's POV: ]
Talk with a demon born divine being that had control over positive powers better than even the priests that I am seeing at the moment.
"We express our deepest gratitude to all who have gathered here with us for this sorrowful moment."
We were back to the capital of Lakmer for the post-war event as well as for the inauguration of the memorial that was built in the memorial of the deceased.
'Many people were present here, and, since they had built the monument right in front of the grand coliseum, it will become an inseparable part of this unique structure.'
The idea was to immortalise the names of the people who fell victim to the cruelty of the demon cultists, and the one who made this whole grand memorial was one of the best architects of this world, the lady of Lakmer.
There was no room for error or criticism in this structure.
'It was a masterpiece in itself. Something that certainly enhanced the beauty of the coliseum present right behind it.'
People had gathered here, and the atmosphere was completely different from the atmosphere of the garden in the plains of Adanca.
People related to the deceased were mourning, everyone was wearing black, white, or outfits that fit the funeral code of their own culture, while the tall round structure before us shined in the morning rays of sunlight.
[ "How does it feel?" ]
He asked while standing right beside me and his head down, his black clothing still even in the blowing winds.
It was unexpectedly windy today.
[ "Still unfamiliar, but, it's better." ]
After that person, Albert, that giant creature and an elder eternity mentioned that strange name that I still can't remember... my eyes had reacted strangely and as if to have evolved to another strange like the origin skill, my eyes could do a little more than what they were capable of before we had tea with the two of them.
"They were innocent and good souls. People who had lived their lives their own way, had done things that I will always remember in my heart... I pains my soul as well that they departed without any last words to us, however, I know in my heart that they will find peace.
Instead of wandering in this world as ghosts, or spirits... they will find peace in the afterlife."
The one speaking right now was not sir Justin but lord Maverick, the president of the Lakmer, and true highest authority of this land.
Which was the right thing to do in their position.
'The last few days have not been anything simple for the Lakmer, especially the Lakmer household and the president's family.'
Just like how I was suffering from the effects of my eyes' new abilities though which I was able to see a portion of the hidden truths about everything and everyone in this world, which was a lot worse experience than what one could imagine, they were dealing with a lot of things.
'Lakmer was practically facing attacks from all the neighbouring nations at the moment.'
All of this was even more difficult for him, exactly because of that.
'If it wasn't for Lady Carolina holding him from beside, there was no doubt to many of us that he would fall apart. That he would show a sight to the common people that they did not need at the moment.'
He knew what he had to do very well, he was the president that all of them had selected and maintained in that position.
They trusted him, and he knew the best how to reciprocate their support.
"I apologise... everyone... those who had lost someone precious to them, those who had suffered because of the loss of someone else, to all the people gathered here and even those who aren't present with us... I express my apologies, my sincerest condolences, my deepest regrets for the losses you have suffered...
For the losses I have suffered, however..."
His eyes regained the unwavering light that everyone recognized in an instant as he looked back at them, at his citizens that trusted him, the people he had sworn to protect and serve.
"For the loss of My people, My family, My brothers and sisters... the elders who supported me when I was a nobody, and the children who shared their precious smiles with me... I have also lost many irreplaceable friends, memories, My people that made me who I am today."
The memorial sphere, a structure containing the list and accounts of the dead people who lost their lives in the war, was right behind him, so he placed his hand on its round marble walls, and poured his Aura inside it.
-Ooooooooooooooong!
The material that was used in the creation of this place was something that reacted with the special energies like Mana and Aura, and it was made with the intention of keeping the names written on it alive.
"I have lost something because of those damned demon worshipers... something precious, and for that... I am not going to forgive them."
The people around us were crying even though they weren't part of the people that had last someone close to them in this war.
They were representatives of the nobles that had come here on their behalf, and just like the rest of the common people who were mourning the loss of the common and innocent, they were expressing their own sorrow towards the unjust acts of those demon bastards.
"I will avenge them. I swear upon my name... they will pay for what they have done."
Master Maverick was a sensitive person that loved Lakmer above all else.
He was a king ranked knight and someone who possessed a vast record of victories in the in the times of wars and there was many things he could do if he just wished for it.
He was strong enough to create his own nation that would be filled with his own followers and since he had someone like Lady Carolina by his side there was no way they would be a power that anyone could just deal with just because they wanted to.
'He was strong.'
But at the same time, his attachment to his homeland and the people he was now in charge of, was so great that he couldn't possibly leave the bastards that had dared to do so much damage to them...
"Let's pray for a happy, blissful afterlife for our family and friends... and, let us remember this day, as the day we declare the demonic Cultists our eternal enemy."
He was channelling their anger and resentment towards the demon order, and, with these new eyes... I could see it had worked out just the way She wanted.
