āDid he think he could fool us with his perjuryā¦ā¦?ā
The Elder of the Alfred family spat as he gazed at Ciel Midfordās corpse.
Ferzen turned his gaze away from Ciel and looked at his wife with a grim expression.
Looking at her husband, Euphemia wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
āReturn to the mansionā¦ā¦ā
āYou arenāt in a position to worry about meā¦ā¦ā
With an exhausted sigh, Euphemia lowered her head at his words.
Because he was right, she would only damage Ferzenās reputation the longer she remained here.
But would she care about that?
Unlike her submissive words, she had already grasped the helm of his ceremonial robe.
āIāll be waiting for youā¦ā¦ā
Her hands never reached him.
However, Ferzen who was watching her gently grabbed Euphemiaās hand and stroked her hair.
The young woman had no idea if the affection contained in his touch was real or if she was simply deluding herselfā¦ā¦
In truth, she wanted nothing more than to cry her sorrows away in this instant.
āI will make it right.ā
āWait for me back home.ā
āDonāt worry, It wonāt take longā¦ā¦ā
It was a small act of kindness.
However, things have changed.
āIā¦ā¦Will wait for youā¦ā¦ā
Because that was his home.
Ferzen Von Schweig Louerg now shares the same last name as herself.
So his home was now hers as well.
Yes, her cageā¦ā¦Became her home.
The most comfortable cage in the worldā¦ā¦
As he watched Euphemia leave, Ferzen returned his gaze towards Ciel Midfordās corpse.
āIf you donāt have any more demands, I will begin the incineration of the corpse.ā
The corpse of an Auror Knight was a rare commodity.
However, because of the extensive damage to the body, his performance wouldnāt be ideal.
And also, the blessing of the Goddess of Protection didnāt apply to a ācorpseā.
Coupled with the fact he tried to harm one of the blood of Brutein, the Empire wanted nothing more than to be done with his corpse.
āI will take ownership of his corpse.ā
The Elder of the Alfred Family.
The Head of Brutein, his older brother.
Everyone looked like they didnāt expect it.
Yes, it was a surprise for them.
The corpses of the previous heads of Brutein who had awakened some sort of talent were thoroughly preserved.
To the point where one would even question if they were really dead, or simply resting.
So they couldnāt comprehend why he would choose to keep such a damaged corpse.
But they didnāt question his decision, because Ferzen as the afflicted party had the right to choose how the corpse would be handled.
āA little unusualā¦ā¦ But, so be it.ā
Controlling Ciel Midfordās corpse, he rose from his coffin.
Then as he opened his subspace, the corpse entered the void.
āWith this, the execution of the treacherous Knight, Ciel Midford, is concluded. His master, Prince Inas shall return to his kingdom within three weeks in order to fulfill our demands.ā
Prince Inas who was kneeling next to his father looked at His Majesty the Emperor of Ernes, the Sun of the Empire, and bowed his head as he opened his mouth.
āIt shall be doneā¦ā¦ā
The execution of Ciel Midford reached its conclusion.
āWell, with this business doneā¦ā¦Iām afraid I must return to my duties.ā
As they left the Imperial Palace, Jeremiah said quietly.
As the head of Brutein, Jeremiah led a busy life, and with my own responsibilities as an Imperial Professor, I would not be able to return to Brutein anytime soon.
āAre you returning right away?ā
āIāve been away from my duties for far too longā¦ā¦ā
Jeremiah smiled gently as he entered his carriage, engraved with the crest of Brutein.
āYour birthday is near.ā
āThereās no reason for you to send me any gifts Brother, we arenāt kids anymore.ā
āItās alright to act a little childish once in a while Ferzen.ā
āYes, thenā¦ā¦I shall give you many baby supplies. Isnāt your Older Brother thoughtful and practical? Since kids grow quickly, I shall do so every year.ā
āIf that is your wish brotherā¦ā¦ā
āOf course! You must be giving your wife a hard time trying for an heir, Hahā¦ā¦ā
āā¦ā¦Yes Iām doing my best, so hurry up and get married brother.ā
Jeremiah was still single.
āHehā¦ā¦You knowā¦Itās not that simple.ā
Ferzenās ego stirred a little, but after suppressing it, I opened my mouth with the most sincere tone I could muster.
āIf you love her, brotherā¦ā¦Thenā¦ā¦I donāt care about her standing. Because sometimes, there is more to a human than his lineage.ā
At my words, Jeremiahās eyes bulged slightly.
āWell, Well, Wellā¦.. Isnāt my little brother speaking like an old man nowā¦ā¦ā
āPlease act your ageā¦..ā
āHah, thank you Ferzenā¦ā¦My dear brother.ā
His words disturbed me, as I couldnāt control the slight embarrassment causing me to avoid his gaze.
āLet us spend more time together Ferzen.ā
āYesā¦ā¦It was good to see you again.ā
As soon as the carriage doors closed, Jeremiah couldnāt help but smile a little thinking about his little brotherās words.
And with such a soft smile, he returned to Brutein.
After watching his departing brother, Ferzen also left the Capital.
Because he still had one unfinished business.
A lone man could be seen leaving that road and walking into the wilderness.
āThis should be enoughā¦ā¦ā
Even if the corpse was burned, the only ones who would be attracted to the foul stench were wild animals.
So, after opening my subspace I made Ciel Midfordās ācorpseā stand in front of me.
His body had become a hideous amalgamation of hastily healed burns and melted armor.
As I gazed at the protagonist of this world, the one who stood at the crossroads of my destinyā¦ā¦conflicted emotions rose within me.
As expected I was met with his complete silence.
So I warmed up my mana and tried to achieve some feedback from him.
After organizing the pieces of this puzzle, I managed to receive feedback from himā¦ā¦.
It was something I suspected could have happened.
āHis perjury was incited by an unknown personā¦ā¦Who also instructed him to bring the Alfreds in.ā
That was all I could get from him.
While heaving an exhausted sigh, I also took the corpse of the 27th head of Brutein, Bavaria Von Grielle Brutein.
āForgive this transgression ancestor.ā
Then while controlling him, he created a weak flame, lighting my cigarette.
The pungent smell of tobacco, made some birds flee from my surroundings.
āThe cloaked manā¦ā¦ā
Did he plan to steal Cielās body before it was incinerated?
Even if he managed to change the injection from the lethal dose to the Stasis poison.
It would be impossible to transport Ciel Midfordās corpse undetected.
So there is only one hypothesis remaining.
He bet on the off chance I would claim ownership of Ciel Midfordās corpse.
Just like those students in the Dormitory B were killed during the Academy incident?
Their assigned corpses ācame back to lifeā and slit their throats.
That cloaked man planned to kill me in the same way.
āReallyā¦ā¦This is fucking ridiculous.ā
Such crude words slipped out of my mouth.
āDonāt you agree, Ciel Midfordā¦ā¦.?ā
āAfter having his heroine robbed by the villain, the main character burned his life essence without the fear of death, but in the end, he failed, and even his own death was disguised and planned by othersā¦ā¦ā
āSeriously what kind of main character leads such a shitty lifeā¦ā¦ā
What did the writer think while creating you?
And what was he thinking when he imprisoned me in this body?
For a long while, I pondered such things.
His stasis would be over by tonight.
I planned on waiting since I wished for him to see who would kill him.
āEuphemiaā¦ā¦It seems that I will have to break my promise after all.ā
I promised her I would return soon, but it seems this will take a while.
The sun was slowly being overcome by the moon.
But even when my pocket watch announced it was already midnightā¦ā¦
Ciel Midford showed no signs of waking up
My patience reached its limits at this point, so after smoking the last one of my cigarettes I opened my subspace once more.
āI, noā¦ā¦Seo-Jin admired the kind of person you were.ā
Because, in the novel, Ciel Midford always struggled to survive and to overcome his challenges.
And Seo-Jin was very invested in this sort of story.
So it was natural that he along with Ciel, raged when the Villain Robbed The Heroine.
And this was the end result, butā¦ā¦
Uncorking a bottle of wine, I poured its contents over Ciel Midfordās head.
The sweet and savory smell of wine spread around us.
āIf a thing like reincarnation existsā¦ā¦ā
āNext time, dream of the impossible.ā
āFight the undefeatable enemy.ā
āStrive for the forbidden love.ā
āWithstand the unbearable painā¦ā¦ā
And catch the stars in the sky that no one would ever dare to try.
The 27th head of Brutein lit Ciel Midfordās body alight.
His burning body produced an unpleasant smellā¦ā¦
Taking a sip from the remaining wine in the bottle I gazed at the Protagonist of this World.
Ciel Midford ā The protagonist of this world, crumbled to ashes.
His remains were carried by the night breeze and he started his next journey in the beyond.
Seeing this scene, I quietly whispered.
āEven though youāre deadā¦ā¦ā
The stars still twinkle in the sky.
The moon still illuminates the night.
Everything is still continuing, regardless of the main characterās death.
This proves that this world is real.
Before long, his ashes were all scattered by the night breeze.
Looking at where he stood, only the burned grass remained.
The mana inside me stirred.
Those of Euclidean class have two-dimensional mana.
But inside me, a change occurredā¦ā¦
A three-dimensional shape was created.
Yes, the one who overcame the protagonist of this world.
As the Villain, I became an Apollyon-grade Warlock.
The nightās breeze coursed through his body.
After reaching this bittersweet finale, Ferzen rose from his seat.
āNo one will know of your true demise.ā
āI shall remember it.ā
I, the Villain of this world, will never forget your death as the Protagonist of this world.
Just like that, Ferzen Von Scweig Louerg left.
After he left, only silence lingered in the wilderness.
Only the nightās breeze coiled around the burned grass.
The Lights were still on.
Euphemia must have waited for me all this time.
With a guilty conscience, I entered the mansion.
A maid came to me with a restless look.
But my attention was fixed on the doctor standing behind her.
Ignoring her cries, I ran towards the bedroom.
She was sitting on our bed, reading a boorish book.
No, she was pretending to read it.
Her eyes were fixated on the book, but they didnāt move.
Then as she became aware of my presence, Euphemia gagged.
She quietly shook her head in denial.
āEuphemia, I saw the doctor here. Do not lie to me.ā
āNoā¦. It doesnāt hurtā¦ā¦ā
āIā¦.Iām not sickā¦..ā
With careful movements, she stroked her womb with a blank face.
āT-They saidā¦..I wasā¦.Iāmā¦Pre-pregā¦ā¦Iām carrying your ch-child.ā
āT-That was what the doctor said.ā
Euphemia continued to mumble in an incredulous tone.
āHereā¦. In my wombā¦.Your seedā¦.Itās growingā¦.ā
As soon as she said that, I couldnāt control myself anymore.
Quietly, softly and gently.
Later, the maid and the doctor cameā¦ā¦
And told me that she has been pregnant for three weeks already.
Yes, Euphemia El Lauren Louerg.
She became the mother of my child.
TL NOTE: Well that is it guys one of the Major arcs of this novel reached itās endā¦ā¦ we gun start Yuri-Chanās arc~~~~~~
