The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

415 – Scene 415# Variables

*

“The warriors are starting to retreat!”

“Charge the cavalry!”

As a signal that the warriors’ camp was collapsing, the knights’ counterattack began.

After war was declared by Emperor Luna Meikahel, a defense line was established centered on the imperial troops stationed in strategic locations in less than half a day. The knights of the nobles in various places were also participating in the defensive battle, and the momentum of the warriors pushing towards the empire was slowing down.

Count Tristan of Ruelberta was able to quickly build a defense line in just half a day, thanks in large part to his contributions. Right before the war, he traveled throughout the empire, strongly insisting that they must prepare for the invasion of monsters, and putting pressure on nobles with fiefdoms. Although it is said to have become much worse than before, there was no one who did not know the notoriety of Count Ruelberta’s family, so the powerless nobles had no choice but to cry and summon their private soldiers.

What Tristan demanded was not simply a force sufficient to defend the territory, but a force sufficient to wage war. Naturally, dissatisfaction arose among the nobles, but there was talk that even the emperor was supporting Tristan, so he had no choice but to increase his private army by spending the money he had. There were many nobles who pledged to punish Tristan somehow in the future if there was no invasion by monsters.

However, in the end, it was impossible to say anything because we were able to prepare for the invasion of warriors thanks to Tristan. Rather, it is not enough to bow our heads and express gratitude…

Not only the flags of the imperial army but also the flags of various families were seen everywhere. If it weren’t for Tristan, not only the imperial army but also the knights under the nobles would not have been able to join forces and build a defense line.

“Ahh! “I’m dying!”

“Damn it!!”

“Get out of the way!”

A group of fleeing warriors were turned into dust by the knights and disappeared. The knights began to pursue the warriors without slowing down their momentum. At the forefront was Bela Isaachel.

“These people are heroes… “It’s absurd.”

Bella clicked his tongue as he watched the warriors scatter and run away. She returned to her mansion and led the knights of House Isaac Hel to participate in the war. War was already just around the corner.

Bella and her knights, who joined the imperial army, fought at the forefront and won battle after battle. The morale of the imperial army greatly increased with the news that Bella, a princess from the Izakhel family who was a renowned noblewoman within the empire and had produced many heroes, had appeared. She was defending the defense line with the imperial army, whose morale was so high.

“That’s right. Miss. These people are heroes, so if Wendy were around, she would have looked at them pitifully.”

Said Blanche, standing next to Bella in her armor.

The warriors were large in number, but their individual abilities were not great. In addition, there were many cases where there was no cooperation, let alone unity, and they were no match for properly trained regular troops. Those who fought under the name of the guild were okay, but many warriors fought alone. As this happened, clashes between warriors became more frequent and the camp collapsed easily.

Bella smiled softly at her escort who followed her.

“But Blanche, are you really okay with me staying here?”

“Yes?”

“Now that you have decided to marry Tristan, you don’t have to act as my bodyguard. It would have been okay if I had gone with Helga or Wendy…”

“No. You are my inestimable benefactor. Even if I marry the Count, I will remain your knight.”

“… “Blanchet also has a very stubborn side.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Hehe…”

The two people burst into laughter when their eyes met.

A long time ago, she was raised to be an assassin for the Ruel Bertha family. It was Bella who took in Blanche after she was abandoned. Blanche’s timing was so bad that she was unable to confide in Bella about her her past her her her, but it was clear that she would treat her the same even if Bella knew about her. Even though she lost her heart to the same man, the bond between Bella and Blanche was still strong.

It was a heartwarming moment where they confirmed each other’s trust, but ironically, Bella felt like she wanted to atone for Blanche.

“Sorry. Blanche.”

“Yes? Why are you doing that?”

“I’m only speaking to you, but actually I…” ” … “I wanted to follow Helgana or Wendy.”

Bella opened up about her inner feelings.

“Honestly, now that Tristan is leaving his position as head of the family, there will be a shortage of people to replace him. There are Helga, Wendy, Arthur, and many others, but since the war has broken out, it will not be easy to lead the Ruelberta family, which is bigger than any other family. So, as the future hostess, I also wanted to step in and help.”

“Miss…”

“That was my honest feeling… But I chose the Isaachel family, not the Ruelberta family. Without me, there would be no one to fight under the Izakhel family’s banner…”

Blanche looked at Bella. She turned her head and looked at the distant sky. She knew that the direction in which Tristan had disappeared was where she found paradise.

“… Tristan won’t be upset, right?”

It was fortunate that there were no knights around because they were chasing the warriors. Otherwise, they would have seen Bella’s pitiful appearance of hers. Even though she was wearing armor, she could tell that Bella’s shoulders she was shaking.

“I don’t think so, but what if they think I’m a cold woman… ? Then I…”

“Lady.”

Blanche shook her head resolutely.

“That will never happen.” Don’t you know too, Miss? “The Count is not the type of person to do that.”

“… “I guess so?”

“The man we fell in love with is not that narrow-minded. If you knew the circumstances, you would definitely understand the young lady’s decision. No… “You won’t even think it’s a problem.”

Blanche followed Bella and looked up at the sky toward paradise.

“The Count will return to us without any worries.”

“Yes… Rather, it would be even more strange for Tristan to be offended by something like this.”

“You’re right. If the Count says something to the lady… Well, I will scold you.”

“Blanchet is scolding you? Tristan? How?”

“That… That…”

Blanchet looked embarrassed at Bella’s question. She thought deeply and opened her mouth.

“That… Uh, would you like me to spank her ass?”

“Phew… Ahahaha… What? “That?”

Bella stopped laughing and wiped her moist eyes.

“Do you think Tristan will just sit back and be beaten?”

“Umm… Surely…”

“Anyway, thank you. Blanche. “Thanks to you, I feel a lot better.”

Bella straightened her back proudly and looked around her as if she had never done anything like that.

“I think it would be best to end the chase here. Blanche. Bring in the knights.”

“Yes.”

Blanchet immediately shot fire magic into the air. It was a signal to return. Now, the knights who saw the signal will return immediately.

“Eww… The wind…”

The wind blew behind my back. A thick cloud of dust rose in front of them. It was the dust and sand left behind by the warriors as they died. Because numbers are numbers, every time the wind blew, a wind of sand blew that was enough to block the view. Because of this, they belatedly noticed the shadow coming towards them.

-!!

The sound of the wind breaking was heard. At that moment, Blanche caught one object after another flying towards her. That…

“Arrow?!”

“You damn NPC b*stards!”

What appeared from the sandstorm were three warriors. I didn’t know if he was running away and getting lost, or if he was waiting the whole time, looking for an opportunity. Blanchet’s eyes were just on the crossbow they were holding.

“Get lost!”

Faster than a crossbow can fire, Blanche threw the arrow she was holding at them. Her her throw her her her, filled with her her magic her her her, made the arrow move at a speed that made it invisible to the eye …

-!!

The arrow pierced the head of the man who was trying to fire the crossbow, as well as the head of the person behind him. In the blink of an eye, the two people turned to dust. The crossbow loaded with arrows fell in vain.

“This is crazy-.”

“Be quiet.”

The astonished warrior’s neck was pierced by a dagger. That was her memorization of her, which she threw quickly as soon as she threw the arrow. In less than 3 seconds after the surprise attack, the warriors quickly turned into dust and disappeared.

“… It looks like they are warriors hiding nearby. Since they are not afraid of death, be careful about surprise attacks like this… Hmm?”

Suddenly Blanchet stopped. Her eyes were on the crossbow left lying in a pile of dust.

Why? One of the three crossbows that failed to fire had no arrows.

No way…

Blanche turned her head in her anxiety. And…

“Ah, lady!!”

What she saw was Bella falling from a horse with an arrow stuck in her chest.

*

Faaah!

The moment the shadow burst with a sound, Tristan swung his sword without delay. The rushing shadows were clearly split in half. However, Tristan adjusted his sword and cut the split shadow without hesitation.

“Ohh…”

Junhyuk Park opened his eyes wide and looked at Tristan’s movements.

It was indeed a quick and fluid movement. As far as I know, Jeong Ji-hwan was a man who was far from sports, let alone swordsmanship. The same was true for Tristan, who was modeled after Jeong Ji-hwan. Count Pig. The man who was called by that nickname was now standing with a sculpted face and body. As if that wasn’t enough, he swings his sword like a sword master.

In terms of time, it is half a day. In the meantime, Tristan cut down the wires created by Park Jun-hyuk again and again without resting even for a moment. Nevertheless, far from showing signs of becoming dull, his movements were showing much sharper movements. Even considering that he had physical strength complemented by personality and magical power, I couldn’t help but admire him.

Tristan cut down the wires coming from all directions without even looking at them. His senses were as keen as those of a warrior on his limbs. Every time he swung his sword, sparks continued to fly in the air. Beneath his feet, cut wires wriggled and fell to the floor.

“Haha… Now who will think you are Tristan, Count Pig? It’s not easy for people to change, but you’ve changed completely over the past year. Could that be the power of the devil?”

“…”

Tristan did not feel the need to answer Park Jun-hyuk’s question. It wasn’t the devil’s power or anything. A swordsmanship that I learned by stealing simply out of ‘jealousy’. Because he was possessed by the villain Tristan, it was just one of his means to survive.

“What… It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. “No one can be my opponent, be it a demon lord or anything else.”

“?!”

The flaccid wires behind Park Jun-hyuk’s back became blurred for a moment. At that moment, Tristan rushed to his side without any delay. And that action saved his life

The place where Tristan had been standing a while ago was dented as if a meteorite had fallen. If I had been a little late in throwing myself away, I would have ended up like an exploded tomato.

“Hey… It’s really amazing. “I never thought I would avoid this.”

“That arm…”

“Oh, you mean this? It’s God’s hand.”

Park Jun-hyuk caressed his thick forearm floating in the air. On his back his his was an arm made of wires. It was like a mechanical forearm and moved according to the movements of Park Jun-hyuk’s clenching and opening of his hands.

“If I were to put it bluntly, it would be a rebuke to foolish NPCs who challenge the power of the system.”

As Park Jun-hyuk let out a bitter laugh, wires writhed like blood vessels on his back. They came together into four lumps and soon transformed into four arms.

“Whether you are Ji-Hwan Jeong or Tristan, you are insignificant in front of me. “I will tell you that from now on.”

“?!”

The next moment, a storm arose. The wind created by the four fists aimed at Tristan.

Tukan!

Tristan knocked out Park Jun-hyuk’s fist with the sheath of the sword he was wearing. Nevertheless, the shock was felt in my hands. Unlike when it was a frontline attack, the fist-shaped attack was heavy and had much more destructive power. If you take it like that, the sword will definitely break.

“Ugh!”

Before my hand could feel numb, the next fist flew out. I almost missed the scabbard. However, Park Jun-hyuk did not give Tristan any time to rest. The four fists relentlessly pushed Tristan.

“You are a proud man. Tristan. However, pride is only allowed to the powerful. Do you understand now? “How worthless were you?”

“…”

Tristan didn’t answer. It seemed as if they were just silently letting go of the attack and looking for an opening. Of course, we were gradually being pushed back a few steps by the explosive attacks coming from the four arms. No matter who looked at it, it was Park Jun-hyuk who had the upper hand.

However, Park Jun-hyuk did not let down his guard. Even though he was being pushed back, Tristan was able to take his attacks with only his sword skills. He’s not using all his abilities yet. Is he conserving his strength? Is he wasting time? If so, what is Tristan aiming for?

Park Jun-hyuk, who was thinking quietly, burst into laughter. Actually, it doesn’t matter what Tristan is planning. Whatever it was, Park Jun-hyuk was able to easily defeat it. Because he had the strength to do so.

Nevertheless, the reason Park Jun-hyuk is expecting a counterattack from Tristan is to completely break his heart.

Tristan is a character with the personality of ‘pride’. Because of this, he is arrogant and full of bravado in any situation. In other words, he is the type of person who has a lot of pride and does not admit his defeat. Therefore, I planned to make Park Jun-hyuk realize how foolish his ‘pride’ was. It will become a huge wall and make Tristan feel helpless. I will completely destroy the man named Tristan.

So dealing with him now is the cornerstone of that…

“Hmm?”

The next moment, Park Jun-hyuk frowned. His fists, which were made with thorough calculations, began to gradually miss the mark. Could it be that the movement has become faster? Number 1, 2, 3 out of 10. The number of missed fists increased.

In that case, just swing faster.

Park Jun-hyuk increased the output of God Hand (God Hand). The speed at which he swings his fists increases and at the same time, his fists gain strength. Its power is enough to break a sword with just a passing glance. If this happens, it will be difficult for him to attack anymore.

-!!

As expected, Tristan gave up on attacking and began to focus on avoiding Park Jun-hyuk’s attacks. The ground he was standing on broke with a sound. The windstorm began to cause scars on Tristan’s face and arms. I dodged his fist, but I couldn’t block the wind pressure and debris.

Tukan-!

Junhyuk Park changed his aim and aimed for his sword rather than Tristan. First, I’ll break his sword and see his reaction. I wouldn’t despair just because of that, but I was curious about what they would do to fight back. Of course, Park Jun-hyuk planned to trample on Tristan’s means of counterattacking one by one. He wants to make it known that he has an overwhelming advantage.

Park Jun-hyuk blocked Tristan’s escape route with four arms and swung his fist at the sword he was holding. That moment…

“Huh?”

Tristan’s figure disappeared before my eyes. The fist aimed at him hit the ground in vain and kicked up dust.

Kuung-

At the moment when debris and dust were about to obscure his vision, Junhyuk Park did not miss the shadow flying into the dust.

“Haha! “I can clearly see your movements!”

Park Jun-hyuk finished his calculations. Tristan slammed his palm down toward the expected trajectory.

Kwasik-!

The giant palm quickly snatched away the shadow that was trying to run away, as if catching a fly. A sensation delivered through the hand of God. I caught it for sure. Just when I was about to think that even Tristan couldn’t avoid his eyes his his his his …

“?”

Park Jun-hyuk, who suddenly felt a sense of discomfort, raised God’s hand. Then, the identity of the shadow lying flat under the palm was revealed.

It was the black coat Tristan was wearing.

“Huh?”

“You really see movement well.”

Park Jun-hyuk turned his head at the cold voice that came from behind him. At what moment did it appear? He was caught behind by Tristan, who couldn’t even come close.

“But I guess I couldn’t see the blind spot clearly.”

What Tristan was aiming for was Park Jun-hyuk’s blind spot. To be precise, it targeted the blind spot created by the four arms. It was huge and had menacing arms, but it obscured his vision. The reason Tristan widened his distance and focused on evasion was to gauge Park Jun-hyuk’s blind spots.

A tactic of surprise attack by targeting the blind spot created by the enemy’s weapon. That was what Bela Isaachel taught.

-An ordinary swordsman does not know how much the sword he is holding is blocking his vision. On the contrary, the better a swordsman, the more he understands how blind spots his sword creates.

-An opponent with a great sword would be perfect.

-That’s right. Still, a thin sword like a rapier is not much different. The point is, well… I guess you could say this.

At that time, Bella said differently.

-If you want to aim for the opponent’s blind spot, you can move at the same speed as the opponent’s sword swing.

-… What?

-Move at the same speed as the sword.

-…

‘Easier said than done.’

Tristan recalled Vala’s words and smiled bitterly. At the time he learned this skill from Bella, the curse had not been lifted and he could not handle her magic power. Since he couldn’t even dream of strengthening his her body her her with her her magic her her her, he simply ended up clumsily imitating Bella’s movements her her out of jealousy. But now that the curse has been lifted… Tristan was able to move like Bella said.

“Haha! I wondered what he was aiming for, but was he aiming for that kind of talent? But what can I do? “The opportunity I had worked so hard to create was in vain.”

If Tristan had swung his sword without saying a word, he might have reached Junhyuk Park. But he didn’t do that. I don’t know if it was his arrogant personality, but he gave Park Jun-hyuk a chance.

Park Jun-hyuk did not miss the opportunity and moved his arm. He is not late yet. At this distance, he would be able to block Tristan’s approach with the four God Hands.

But

“?!”

He could not wield the Hand of God (God Hand). No, he wasn’t swayed. The hand of God (God Hand) that Park Jun-hyuk boasted about did not have any strength. What? Why isn’t it moving?

It was Tristan who answered that question.

“I wasn’t just avoiding your attacks. “I swung my sword hard in a place where your eyes couldn’t reach.”

“No way…”

Only then did Park Jun-hyuk realize. Tristan didn’t just approach with confidence in the blind spot. He looked closely at God’s hand. Soon something strange caught his eye

A crackling spark was flying from the area corresponding to the joints of the hand. Upon closer inspection, the tendons of the wires that moved the hand were cut sharply. He was cut so sharply that he didn’t even notice until he saw it.

In other words, the moment Park Jun-hyuk followed Tristan’s coat with his eyes… So, the tendons in his hand were cut in the blind spot. And not just one, but all four arms.

Tristan’s swordsmanship was far beyond what Park Jun-hyuk expected.

“Under…” Haha… “You always surprise me.”

“Don’t laugh.”

-!!

A sharp light slit Park Jun-hyuk’s throat. The sword that Tristan swung had a cool light like moonlight. Then, unable to withstand the weight, Park Jun-hyuk’s neck slowly fell to the ground. His empty body, which belatedly lost its head, fell to the ground.

It was truly a ghost-like skill.

This was also one of the things Tristan learned to survive. Although I learned swordsmanship out of ‘jealousy’. Since it is only an imitation, it cannot surpass the original. However, the ability to imitate also varies depending on the original.

Tristan was able to imitate Izakhel style swordsmanship through Bela Izakhel. As a colleague of the hero Alonso Isaachel, he was able to imitate the swordsmanship of the early Isaachel style. He was also able to imitate his swordsmanship by taking charge of his sword with the change-back Kyloel Green.

He was able to imitate the swordsmanship of three swordsmen who were considered the best swordsmen of their time. Although he could not surpass the original one by one, as he accepted the three swordsmanship as one, his swordsmanship has now reached an unrivaled level.

“…”

Tristan glared coldly at the body of Park Jun-hyuk, who had collapsed with his head cut. What was in his eyes was not the relief of revenge. He opened his mouth.

“Get up. How long does he plan on pretending to be dead?”

“Haha… That was a bit unexpected just now. “I never thought I would get my neck cut.”

The answer came as if I had been waiting for it. Park Jun-hyuk’s headless body wriggled and picked up his head from the floor.

“Well, you couldn’t kill me anyway.”

Soon, wires began to creep out and connect Park Jun-hyuk’s neck and head. The sight of tentacle-like wires connecting heads was truly bizarre.

Tristan didn’t think Park Jun-hyuk would die like this. I never thought that the man who made his brother and him like this and created the system that allowed him to interfere in this world would be defeated so easily. Even so, an inexplicable feeling of disgust upon seeing him revived unharmed even though his head had been cut.

“… “What are you?”

“On the contrary, I will ask you. What do you think of me? Park Junhyuk? Crazy guy?”

“…”

“It’s a pity, but it’s neither.” Because the person you knew named Park Jun-hyuk is no longer there.”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s literally like that.”

Park Jun-hyuk, who was completely glued to his neck, shrugged his shoulders as if he had never done that before.

“I am not the ‘human’ Park Jun-hyuk you knew. It’s the ‘system’ called Park Jun-hyuk. The person that the world knows as Park Jun-hyuk was just a fault that I once had. If I had been a caterpillar and a cocoon all this while, he is now no different from a butterfly. Like this.”

Junhyuk Park took off his gloves and showed his bare hands. His hands were stained gray, as if they had been discolored. But he wasn’t discolored. It was skin covered with iron plates and wires. Like the system that is still devouring the world, not only Park Jun-hyuk’s hands but also the skin exposed below his neck his was made of machinery.

“I, who shed my human skin, succeeded in completely assimilating with the system.”

Only then did Tristan understand. The man in front of my eyes was Park Jun-hyuk, but he was not Park Jun-hyuk.

“Of course, it didn’t happen overnight. As you know, uploading human consciousness into the system requires a lot of trials and errors. From the Lemina project to the creation of Michaela and Lucaella, everything was done for me now.”

“Then Park Jun-hyuk, your original body is…”

“He died.”

Park Jun-hyuk answered calmly.

“Let’s see… It must have been yesterday, right after I uploaded my entire consciousness into Milky Way’s system. My brain eventually couldn’t bear the load and shut down, but luckily I transferred all the memories I needed. Perhaps, if we do well, the body will be found a few months later? Ahaha. By then, it will be rotten and dirty. “I’m going to have a hard time cleaning it up.”

Park Jun-hyuk speaks as if it were someone else’s business. There’s no way he doesn’t realize how absurd it is to upload one’s consciousness into a system. However, Park Jun-hyuk was a worthy human being. Considering what he had done, it was not strange.

Park Jun-hyuk’s body was connected to numerous wires. Those wires were also connected to various places, including the World Tree. Now I could see that he had assimilated into the system that was trying to control this world. He was no longer human.

“Why did you have to do that… ?”

“There are many reasons. Also, he could not exert 100% of the power of the system. There were many inconveniences while living as a human being, but in the end, it was my choice to become a true creator. But… I realize I can’t say I’m 100% in control of the power of the system yet. There was an unexpected variable.”

“Variable?”

“Okay. “You are the variable.”

Park Jun-hyuk looked at Tristan with a bitter smile.

“If this world had gone according to the story, you would have been destroyed. You should have disappeared from this world a long time ago. But this world changed because you didn’t destroy it. I still see it now. “You are still alive and doing things beyond my expectations.”

Suddenly, the surroundings started to get darker, as if it were night. Park Jun-hyuk’s shadow was getting bigger and bigger.

“I think it’s because you are a being between the system and this world, both Jeong Ji-hwan and Tristan.”

The World Tree was losing its shine. The World Tree was losing its shine in proportion to the growing shadow of Park Jun-hyuk. The influence of the system is about to completely encroach on the world tree.

There is no time to delay.

Tristan raised his sword. This is not the time to decide between means and methods. We must stop Park Jun-hyuk, even if it means mobilizing all the individuality we have. The moment he was about to ignite the spark of emotion in his heart, a message appeared in front of Tristan’s eyes his.

[Warning! The use of individuality is restricted by the system!]

“No more joking around.”

Kwasik!

A dry sound rang out.

“This is the end of your story. Tristan.”

Tristan looked down at his chest. There…

“Variables should be removed.”

A thick wire was penetrating his chest.

*

I was hesitant at first.

Bella, who returned to the mansion to participate in the war, thought about it as she changed into her armor. Her gaze was directed to the edge of her bed. Part of me wants to take it, but I know it. Honestly, it wasn’t something worth taking to the battlefield.

Tristan also said it the other day.

-Do you still have this?

-Joy… If I just hold him and sleep with him, he sleeps well. There is no particular reason.

-Can’t I sleep without this? You also had a somewhat childlike side.

-No? It’s not that I can’t sleep without it, it’s that I sleep well so I have it.

-… What’s the difference?

-That’s a big difference. And you’ve never heard of that? These are also kept as guardian spirits to protect children from nightmares.

-In the end, I’m not saying you’re like a child…

-It’s noisy.

Immediately after that, I stepped on Tristan’s toes, but he wasn’t wrong. In addition to her status as a duke, it was something that did not suit her as an adult.

Nevertheless, the reason Bella was worried was because it was a very precious item to her.

I want to take it. Anyway, isn’t this too much of a ploy? It’s not a necklace or an accessory. If you take something like that to a serious battlefield and get caught, you don’t know what you’ll hear.

After hesitating, Bella finally…

“Lady!!”

“?!”

I opened my eyes to the urgent voice. Before my eyes was Blanchet’s meditative face.

“Are you out of your mind?!”

“Blanchet…”

Only then did Bella come to her senses and stood up. She vaguely remembered. She was ambushed by her warriors and hit by an arrow, causing her to fall from her horse and faint. She should have dodged the strike with her sword, but the sandy wind had dulled her senses. It was a mistake. The price for her moment of intention was high.

Bella naturally had doubts.

“I am… How are you alive?”

I remembered her clearly. An arrow fired from a crossbow pierced her armor. It should have been lodged in her chest as is, inflicting serious or fatal injuries to her. But Bella was fine, except for the numbness in her chest.

In response to Bella’s question, Blanche carefully showed her the items that were next to her.

“This stopped the arrow…”

“Ah…”

That’s the teddy bear that Bella secretly hid in her her armor her her her … It was Dmitry. An arrow was lodged in Dmitry’s chest her her her, which had somehow managed to fit into an empty space in her her armor her her her her. It was so tattered that it was fortunate that several layers of cloth were added.

“Thank goodness. Miss. If the arrow had pierced the doll… “

“Tristan…”

“Yes?”

At that moment, what Bella thought of was Tristan.

-He’s a guardian… In that case, it would be nice to have this doll instead of me.

In the memory, he held up Dmitri in front of Bella and laughed. And he whispered in her ear.

-Because this child will protect you from nightmares.

“Ah, lady… ?”

“Ugh…”

Bella couldn’t hold back her tears.
