[BL] I Will Be Your Number 1 Devotee!

Chapter 51: 45 - Astilbe (16)



"Haa, thou wise eye, please give me your firmness..." Quella held her head, feeling dizzy as she saw her home destroyed in an instant. She had just returned from paying her respects to the mother and family and came home to find all the furniture in her house destroyed?

She knew who the people were who had done this, and she was sure that it wasn't just the Grith family that was in trouble, but her as well, for going against what they wanted. The fact that they were looking for Eros all over the place showed that they didn't know where he was, that they were just guessing and that they had attacked two houses at the same time. 

Earlier, the head of the village was looking for her, so she had to leave for a while and accompany Eros through the forbidden cave, that's why the people looking for him didn't know his whereabouts.

Everything fell apart because of the woman's will before she ended her life.

People are afraid and will do anything to keep the God of hope from hating them. They say this as if they know the God they worship very well. But if they read the story sold outside, they would know very well that their God hates vigilantism.

She also said that the God of Hope is very cruel when it comes to law and equality. Weren't these people now doing things that went against the teachings of the God they worshipped?

Worse, they had forgotten their God.

They don't remember not because of any influence, but they don't want to remember because they think it's useless.

They just worship, pray, and hope that their god will protect them.

The little girl is also very distrustful of the God of Hope. She insults and curses him. Maybe that is why people think that the God of Hope will come if they forget him.

What is certain is that this chaos was used by some shameless people to steal things from her house under the guise of looking for Eros. Look at the books scattered everywhere, someone must have been looking for the recipe for the medicine and instead found a book of children's stories.

Quella was sure that the Grith family would feel responsible for what had happened, so it was better for her to keep her mouth shut.

A book appeared next to Quella and instantly deflated into a piece of paper that turned into a wand. Quella picked it up and started drawing eyes while chanting "Ukub Nalaj Reb!" After that, the lying books stood up by themselves and went into the shelves. Along with the books, shards of glass and vases scattered in a small whirlwind. 

After gathering the collection of broken items, Quella began to swing her staff in a boxing motion, "Katok RaulIid Satiftiaerk!" The glass fragments began to break apart, and each shard began to form strange objects with strange colors.

This is the advantage of someone who likes to read fairy tale books. She can turn herself into a witch with her creativity and will!

While humming a little, Quella began to remember her youth. She used to hate witches because her family was always bullied. 700 years ago, the world was really mean to witches. But thanks to her teacher.

She proved that she, as an ordinary person, could have influence.

If she could find her, she wanted to thank her.

She also wanted to tell her that she had managed to catch the villain and become a hero. 

As Quella was putting these things back in their place, she felt a soft tap on her hand, which startled her.

"!"

"Granny."

"Oh, thou wise eye! You scared me!"

Eros, who appeared next to her, smiled weakly, "Let me help you." 

"... ? Sure." Quella nodded and began to place the small vase on the table. The books had been put away, but not the dust. Unfortunately, this little whirlwind could not carry the dust.

"...Ung." Hearing Quella's agreement, Eros immediately moved his small hands, picked up a glass teapot that had a strange shape, and began to put it in the same place where the previous teapot had been.

Eriu was not wrong when he said that Eros was a cleanliness freak and had a crazy obsession with the arrangement of things. Eriu himself said that he liked to change the atmosphere of their room once a week, sometimes their room was very clean and sometimes their room was suddenly full of small plants.

In the blink of an eye, all the messy things were put in place, before Quella could pick up the broom, Eros grabbed it and started sweeping, leaving Quella standing still.

"Would you like some tea?" Hearing this offer, Eros nodded, "Of course I would, grandma's tea is always delicious!"

Quella widened her eyes and chuckled, "Hoho, I'm very happy to hear that, then I'll start brewing the tea first." Quella walked over to the kitchen where various teas were stored. It was likely that the people who entered her house thought that this kitchen was nothing special because it was just open cupboards and places where tea leaves were stored that were out of place.

After that, Quella turned on the stove and started brewing, preparing two glasses along with the other sweet snacks she had.

When she returned with the tray in hand, Quella immediately placed it on the cleared table and began the conversation.

"Did Uncle bring you here?"

Without stopping himself from sweeping, Eros replied, "Yes."

"Teleportation magic?"

"Um, I think so?" Eros tilted his head slightly, making Quella think that Eros himself was unsure. The Grith family was truly mysterious, if there was any magic gathered, Quella should have noticed it, but right now, not even a little magic could be felt. Even the madam of that house had many strange magic tools that cost a lot of money. When that family carelessly placed the Orbital Eye in front of ten people's houses, her heart sank. Such an expensive and valuable item was given away and then destroyed because they didn't want those families to sell it?

Wow, they really didn't want to bow down and ask these people to return their things. Indeed, the fruit does not fall far from the tree.

When the village chief asked Eriu to apologize to those kids, Eriu steadfastly said no, and instead he destroyed all his belongings in front of those kids, saying, "Mom and Dad love me so much, they would have bought me something better than this. So why should I apologize to them?"

Quella liked Eriu's behavior, because those kids were very selfish and thought that their parents could save them at any time. 

"I suggest you ask Eriu's parents to teach you magic, I'm sure they won't refuse. You can also ask me to teach you a few things, although all my spells are more like lucky charms." 

"..." 

"You can also invite Eri after he returns. If he refuses, just say that I'll show him some magic and he'll definitely come."

Slowly, the sweet and calm voice became hoarse, "Ung..."

"Eros?"

"Uh... Hu?" Eros continued to sweep, making the atmosphere quiet. At that moment, Quella immediately walked over to him while rubbing his shoulders, "It's not your fault." 

"...Hik, but..." Eros looked down, tears running down his cheeks. 

"Did you break this vase?" Quella asked.

"...No." Quella nodded and asked again, "Did you steal my book?"

"I didn't."

"Right. This proves that you are not the culprit, so don't think too much about it. I think you don't like being here because Eri isn't here and that hurts my heart." Eros, who had been tense earlier, slowly calmed down and immediately shook his head, "No, being with Grandma is really, really fun!"

Both cheeks were flushed, the tears dried and the eyes slightly swollen. 

"Then would you like to join grandma for a drink after this is over?"

Without hesitation, Eros immediately nodded, "Ung!"

The wrinkles on her face signaled her age, her white hair the journey of her life.

Although she has been through a lot, she often feels lonely.

That is the reality of life. Nothing is eternal and perfect, being long-lived does not mean we can continue to experience youth, being short-lived also does not mean we have to rush. Cherish and remember.

Because knowledge will always tell your story.

After everything was settled, Quella began to pick up books from the shelf.

"Would you like to hear the story of 'The King and the Sharpest Weapon'?"

The smell of jasmine slowly spread, "The King and the Sharpest Weapon? Peacon Kingdom?" Eros' counter question surprised Quella, "You know?"

"Yes!" Eros replied in a cheerful tone, "There's an older sister who told me about it."

"Hoo, who is this sister?" Quella's voice became full of sound.

"Ramiel!"

Let's start opening this shabby journal.

The prince shed tears at the chaos before him: O my people, do not harm yourselves for me. Let me protect you.

The prince said to the dirty, shabby slaves. The slave used all his strength and began to drag himself to the prince: "We don't want you to cry. So don't use your tears for us, tell us -

Tell us that we are your people and you are our king.

Hearing this last sentence from one of his people, the prince began to cling to himself.

I will be your king, I will be your first wall, and when you walk on the thorny path, I will help you through it.

I am your shield. You are my weapon. Together, we will win.

For you are the spear and the sharpest sword.

I, Michael, will continue to be your king.

And you the most formidable shield.

We, your people, will continue to raise our weapons for you.

May the shield, the sword and the spear always be your talismans.

.

[A mysterious woman in a black veil smiled at him. She said she would give him a prophecy if he won.]

You are right, justice will win.

Since you have defeated me, I will give you two gifts.

Then listen to me.

In the future, you must find the one who chooses to remain between the past, present, and future.

And the sentence of absolute victory for justice will turn into a death that accompanies a world full of happy endings.

Second, you will save the girl who was hurt by her parents, make her survive as long as you can.

You will get a happy ending from those who seek revenge.

Well then, I wish you all the best.

And let's meet again in the distant future, Death.

[The woman wearing a black veil smiles contemptuously]

Fufu, such a personality as a heart.

Once again the woman recited the same poem as before.

Be careful what you look at and what you think.

Fall when you can't imagine.

Rise when you feel danger.

When you sleep, you can never see again.

For you have fallen with the world that leads you.

You didn't think or try to digest my story at all.

She who became the epitome of their sin.

A story forgotten but remembered by the world.

Then let me tell you the other meaning of this story.

The cards on the table began to fold, creating the shape of each character.

The king and queen of the wealthy kingdom.

The king and queen of the small kingdom.

The shameless prince.

The prince's fiancée, the older sister.

And finally, the younger sister of the prince's fiancee.

The cards of the older sister and the younger sister stand up and begin to play the scene that the world remembers.

The treatment that the older sister gave to the younger sister was cruel. From slapping her, pushing her and even stealing everything the younger sister had.

And slowly the world card began to turn into a heart-shaped card.

The older sister's card stands in front of the younger sister, blocking people from seeing the younger sister.

But still the older sister did this to protect the younger sister.

The useless little sister who will continue to be useless.

The older sister slapped her because she saw that the younger sister was just silent when the world insulted her, and to make her realize that she should look forward and hit those who insulted her, the older sister also pushed the younger sister so that the accusations of her poisoning the older sister were refuted, and finally the older sister stole all her younger sister's belongings because she knew that these tools were only used to brainwash the younger sister.

Because the younger sister is still young, only the broken and ugly toy can make her do anything for that person.

The younger sister, who couldn't do anything, only cowered when she was humiliated and said yes when she was told. 

One day the younger sister got sick. She could not move out of her room.

And in the end, the older sister was sold by her family just for the mine. The king lied to the older sister, saying that the mine could be used to heal the younger sister, but in reality it was because the older sister was no longer needed.

The queen was saddened by the older sister's departure and resigned herself as the younger sister became sicker and sicker.

Finally, the queen knew that the king had ordered the maid to give the younger sister poison in her food every day.

Therefore, the queen took the younger sister along with a group of guards to go to the older sister's place.

The journey of the younger sister and the end of the queen. The queen decided to burn the whole kingdom, all its citizens, with the fire of wrath.

Knowing the end of her daughter, older sister's miserable life.

The queen died along with the fire that spread throughout the kingdom.

While all this was going on, the younger sister was tricked by a group of guards and she became a slave. However, in the end, the younger sister was able to escape thanks to the teachings of the older sister.

Stay confident and believe in herself.

With that, the younger sister began her journey again.

A cruel and painful journey.

But at the end she stood in the crowd with all her mixed feelings looking at the end of the older sister.

The older sister saw her younger sister and then looked up to the sky and laughed out loud and said.

Dance until your legs break.

Cry until your eyes fall out.

Laugh until your neck break.

Dance until you are asleep on the ground.

Weep over your misfortune.

Laugh at the emergence of the new you.

Until the world only remembers me and your sin.

Because the older sister knew that this useless younger sister would be sad and would say the same sentence as the incident that happened in the past when the younger sister cried and was told by her dance teacher to dance all the time. She even broke her leg just because she was told to dance.

Only the younger sister stood in the crowd, and she was the one who granted the older sister's last sentence.

The older sister will continue to be her confidante.

See, you never look for the meaning of a story, and that's why you'll never win.

Pftt, how ridiculous is it now that you're saying I lied?

I'll tell you one thing.

Black blood will continue to appear to those who wish for the end.

And you are the one who caused the black blood to be spread everywhere.

You, the king who seeks the meaning of immortality that never existed.

[The veil woman looked at the open door.]

Fufu, we meet again, Death.

Please take a seat.

The woman began to walk to the sofa where she always sat.

I knew you would ask for this.

Slowly, a blank card appeared in front of her.

Then, who will you choose as your hero, Princess?

The doll in front of the black veiled woman smiled broadly, a princess doll her brother had bought for her.

The most beautiful doll she had!

The sweet girl who would continue to bring joy to her brother.

The doll disappeared after she wrote the name on the blank card, and a lily flower fell on the bench where the doll had been sitting.

Brother Lei!

Verse one, We the dead will never lie.

Verse two, We pray every night to scorch the unfaithful.

Verse three, You will be the traitor.

Verse four, Death is us and we are you.

Soon another lily flower appeared beside the lily flower, surrounding the room with the most beautiful meaning. 

We are Death.

The Vengeful.

The Forgiving.

The Brave.

The Wanderer of the small world.

We are Death and we can be anything!

Lei cried while holding Linda's hand, he couldn't even hear his own voice.

Even though this is a new beginning for you, and you are also just starting to write a diary of your journey in this kingdom.

The doctor who was treating the girl closed his eyes. He prayed to Justice that the girl would only remember happiness and love.

The happiest smile could be seen on the little girl's face, even though this was the end of the journey for the little girl.

"My handsome brother, will you hold my hand?"

Lei patted both cheeks, but he couldn't stop sobbing.

"I won't cry, so go to the White Kingdom first and don't forget to write me a letter."

Heaven is different.

Like the meaning of death, justice, hope, love, throne, so to speak.

They have their own meaning for each individual.

Nothing is the same as it was when we were created.

The dove flapped its wings while carrying a lily flower in its beak. The dove then placed the lily right next to the doll. There was even wood written on the doll.

Lily will always be Linda's faithful friend.

Goodbye, our little hope.

Forgive me for taking so long to see you, and thank you for still hoping for my arrival.

...

The little girl curled up and held her hand. Even though the fork was removed, the pain was still there! Everyone said that the pain would go away if the object that hurt her was removed, but why was she still in pain?

The little girl lowered her voice, hoping that her mother wouldn't come to her again.

"Huuu, sob, brother, uhhh..."

"It hurts..."

"Brother..."

As the girl started to feel cold, the doll her brother had given her started to move and walk towards her.

Amazement made her forget the pain in her hand.

Lily is alive!

Although the doll's mouth did not move, a sweet voice came from it, "Don't be afraid, I will take you to the most beautiful White Kingdom!"

The girl's eyes widened and as the doll held her wound, the pain instantly disappeared, "The White Kingdom?"

The doll nodded, "Yes, the White Kingdom, where children like us can play to our hearts' content!"

"Woahhh! Really?"

"Yes!"

"If I play there, will my illness be cured?"

"Of course! Because the White Kingdom is the most beautiful kingdom in the world!"

XX/XX/XXXX

That's why Lily will always be Linda's friend!

So don't be sad when I go there, I'll send you a letter!

And I promise to come back when I'm better!

Because I am Linda, the hero's little sister.
