39 – previous life (1).

The Battle of the Territory ended in vain as Rodenov’s first warriors defeated all of Aiden’s warriors.

Dillard Aiden and Alan Aiden and all of Aiden’s family members were staring at the ground with unfocused eyes.

All the riches and glory they enjoyed were wiped away by the heir’s false words.

In exchange for the Battle of the Territory, the stake was everything for Aiden and Rodenov.

The loser had to hand everything over to the winner. Everything including estates and commercial districts.

Even the castle they live in.

“Thus the loser gives the winner everything he promised. This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and Aiden must uphold it.”

The moment the sentence fell, Dillard knelt down and sighed, looking ten years older.

“Ahh… … .”

‘finished.’

Same with Alan Aiden. The malice and meanness he had harbored vanished with the sentencing, and he realized what he had done.

I couldn’t even imagine that if I had miasma and malice, I would be able to feed the opponent at least once.

Now they will be on the streets, and the name Aiden has been downgraded to a commoner.

Where to live, what to eat, what to wear. Deprived of all of that, Aiden’s family will all end up begging in the streets in misery.

Someone will get sick and die, and a life of trembling is no longer possible.

Since they were now commoners, they could not be treated carelessly even by the nobles whom they usually looked down on.

If they do, their necks will fly off.

Really, everything is over.

Aiden’s glamorous life, as well as life as an aristocrat, everything.

All that was left of them was a pitiful body to live on in the old, dirty streets.

“… … Because of you. you… … Ruined everything.”

Dillard just said that and collapsed unconscious.

“My lord!”

With a sound like a scream, Alan hoped it was all just a dream.

but… … Rodenov’s chilly coldness touched his skin, he didn’t even allow him to deny the reality.

“I am not breathing! Please, please anyone see a doctor!”

Gassols screamed and shouted at people, but no one called a doctor for them.

Also, all the people who supported Aiden turned their backs and turned off all their attention.

Before long, the biting wind finally chilled Dillard’s breath and pronounced Alan’s cruel sentence.

Tragedy is just the beginning.

There was a festive atmosphere around. Both His Excellency Johannes and Duchess Claudia did not hesitate to say that they had worked hard on me.

My older brother, who had come to watch from Ortaire, saw me safely defeating Edith, briefly said that I had done well, and then went back to Ortaire alone, saying that I was busy.

According to the pact with Aiden, Aiden’s everything was returned to Rodenov’s.

That meant that everything that Aiden enjoyed, including commercial rights, had become Rodenov’s possession, and even Aiden’s territory in the center had become Rodenov’s.

His Excellency Johannes said that he would be busy for the time being due to the procedure, but his expression was overflowing with joy.

Sooner or later, several Rodenov administrators will move into Aiden’s realm.

“It was great. After all, it was like the person who threw me into the snow.”

The knights, including Sir Lucas, began praising my inaction. In particular, in the eyes of the majority of the Rodenov knights who had looked down on me, the hostility had disappeared before I knew it, and there was a sense of goodwill.

Adilun, who came to me among them, said.

“Thank you for your hard work, Phissis.”

“Adilune.”

“It was great. They must have seemed quite capable… … .”

“I was lucky.”

However, the expression on her face when she told me that she was amazing was not as bright as it was.

It was the same expression he had seen on her before, during the tournament. The golden pupils darkened, and a deep mire could be seen in those eyes. My fingertips tremble little by little, and I try to curl them up and act calm.

A look of fear and anxiety about something. Even so, seeing her pretending to be resolute, as if she didn’t want to be found out by me, it wasn’t easy to ask her directly.

What are you afraid of and anxious about?

* * *

At the small banquet held after sorting out various situations, I drank and talked with the people of Rodenov, and eventually returned to the inn and lay down on the bed.

Disturbed.

All day long, the expressions of Adiluun kept getting stepped on in my eyes, and my thoughts switched to that without even realizing it.

It was the same during the banquet. Her forced smile, her anxious gestures, all of that… … It messed up my vision.

Even if I tried to find the reason, I couldn’t figure it out at all, so in the end I would have no choice but to ask her directly, but I couldn’t even ask blindly because she didn’t seem to want it.

Because I didn’t want her to hate me.

What I did to her was still holding me down.

What should I do?

I kept repeating my thoughts in search of an answer, but eventually, unable to find the answer, I had no choice but to surrender myself to the alcohol and fall asleep.

* * *

My vision is blurry. I opened my eyes.

A field of cold snow with nothing visible in front of you. With a raging blizzard, biting wind sweeps through my skin.

Where is this?

I couldn’t figure it out, but somehow I felt I had to move on.

In the middle of the endless snowfield, I moved forward.

Without even knowing why I was moving, I walked endlessly. how long did it take Something starts to appear in front of you.

The shape of something was unclear. It looked like a woman at first glance, but that was all I could tell. She was all enveloped in a black mist, staring at me.

[hi.]

Caught in a fog, she spoke to me.

“you are… … Who is it?”

[Well. Guess you.]

“Where is this? I’m definitely in my dorm… … . ah.”

At that moment, I realized that this was a dream world.

If so, maybe that woman… … .

As I looked with conviction, she nodded.

[that’s right. I… … It’s a fragment of your old personality that you’re trying to suppress.]

“hahahaha. It’s ridiculous.”

It was absurd. Why am I dreaming like this

[There is no need to be embarrassed. The reason you have this dream is simple.]

“What?”

[You want to know. Why is Adilun so anxious?]

“you… … Do you know?”

[I know. then. I don’t know very well.]

In an instant, the surrounding scenery changes. As if a puzzle is being put together one by one, the snowfields are scattered, the world is fragmented… … It transforms into various scenery.

And in that scenery, I… …

He was looking at Adilun with contempt. The appearance he saw right after his reincarnation begins to regenerate because of her.

[Why is she anxious? The reason is so simple. The violence you show, the contemptuous glances you shoot at her, the hateful words you shoot at her. Because of all that… … she is anxious Do you think that by pretending to be nice now, her scars will be erased? There is no way.]

“… … .”

[Are you different from your previous life? hahahaha. No way. You were the same guy in your previous life. i said I am a fragment of your ‘old’ personality. You were the same in your previous life. ruler. look. This is what you look like.]

The landscape changes in the same way as before, and an overly familiar landscape is revealed to my field of vision.

The images of people being killed by strange monsters, and the image of the city being stained with their blood.

There, I was approaching a woman who was crushed by the rubble of a collapsed building, screaming for help.

– Can anyone help! please… … .

– Money?

-… … .

– Or is there something that could be a reward?

-… … .

– No.

-Ahhh. Please, please save me!

– No money, no reward… … If you don’t have it, you must die.

Having said that, I turned my back.

[My previous life was different… … Acted for good, finally saved the world… … . hahahaha. It’s funny. yes. Assume you saved the world. But you turned away so many people. Things that happened all the time for years before you met that child.]

[On such a topic, your appearance shouting that you are pursuing goodness… … Don’t you think it’s disgusting?]

I couldn’t say anything. Because what she said was true.

[Why is Adilun afraid of you… … Will you feel insecure? The reason is simple. she knows That people don’t change easily. that you are that kind of guy Now, let’s be honest.]

Like a child, she demands the truth from me.

[Can you say that the thought of wishing Adirun happiness wasn’t just to forget the disgusting things you’ve been doing?]

“no. It is unmistakably sincere that she wished me happiness.”

[lie.]

“It’s not a lie.”

[No, it’s a lie. While wishing her happiness, you don’t know what she likes or what makes her happy, none of it… … I didn’t try to find out. I just matched what she was doing with what you saw in the scraps of typeface.]

Words like blades pierce the heart.

[Now, are all the questions answered? then.]

In an instant, all sorts of hatred, anger, and hatred towards me began to appear on her face.

[Now off.]

At the same time, my consciousness was thrown into hell.
