Did he think he could fool us with his perjury?

The Elder of the Alfred family spat as he gazed at Ciel Midfords corpse.

Ferzen turned his gaze away from Ciel and looked at his wife with a grim expression.

Euphemia.

Looking at her husband, Euphemia wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Return to the mansion

But you

You arent in a position to worry about me

With an exhausted sigh, Euphemia lowered her head at his words.

Because he was right, she would only damage Ferzens reputation the longer she remained here.

But would she care about that?

Yes.

Unlike her submissive words, she had already grasped the helm of his ceremonial robe.

No

She tried to.

Ill be waiting for you

Her hands never reached him.

Rustle.

Ah

However, Ferzen who was watching her gently grabbed Euphemias 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 herself

In truth, she wanted nothing more than to cry her sorrows away in this instant.

I will make it right.

Euphemia.

Wait for me back home.

Dont worry, It wont take long

It was a small act of kindness.

Yes

However, things have changed.

IWill wait for you

In the mansion.

Because that was his home.

No

Ferzen Von Schweig Louerg now shares the same last name as herself.

So his home was now hers as well.

Yes, her cageBecame her home.

The most comfortable cage in the world

* * * * *

As he watched Euphemia leave, Ferzen returned his gaze towards Ciel Midfords corpse.

Lord Louerg.

Yes.

If you dont have any more demands, I will begin the incineration of the corpse.

The corpse of an Auror Knight was a rare commodity.

However, because of the extensive damage to the body, his performance wouldnt be ideal.

And also, the blessing of the Goddess of Protection didnt apply to a corpse.

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.

I will take ownership of his corpse.

Well

The Emperor of Ernes.

The King of Roverium.

The Elder of the Alfred Family.

The Head of Brutein, his older brother.

Everyone looked like they didnt 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 couldnt comprehend why he would choose to keep such a damaged corpse.

But they didnt question his decision, because Ferzen as the afflicted party had the right to choose how the corpse would be handled.

A little unusual But, so be it.

Yes.

Controlling Ciel Midfords corpse, he rose from his coffin.

Then as he opened his subspace, the corpse entered the void.

With 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.

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.

It shall be done

With this, on May 23rd.

The execution of Ciel Midford reached its conclusion.

* * * * *

Well, with this business doneIm afraid I must return to my duties.

As they left the Imperial Palace, Jeremiah said quietly.

Yes, I suppose so.

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.

Are you returning right away?

Ive been away from my duties for far too long

Jeremiah smiled gently as he entered his carriage, engraved with the crest of Brutein.

Ferzen.

Yes.

Your birthday is near.

Theres no reason for you to send me any gifts Brother, we arent kids anymore.

Its alright to act a little childish once in a while Ferzen.

Yes, thenI shall give you many baby supplies. Isnt your Older Brother thoughtful and practical? Since kids grow quickly, I shall do so every year.

If that is your wish brother

Of course! You must be giving your wife a hard time trying for an heir, Hah

Yes Im doing my best, so hurry up and get married brother.

Jeremiah was still single.

HehYou knowIts not that simple.

I

Ferzens ego stirred a little, but after suppressing it, I opened my mouth with the most sincere tone I could muster.

If you love her, brotherThenI dont care about her standing. Because sometimes, there is more to a human than his lineage.

At my words, Jeremiahs eyes bulged slightly.

Well, Well, Well.. Isnt my little brother speaking like an old man now

Please act your age..

Hah, thank you FerzenMy dear brother.

His words disturbed me, as I couldnt control the slight embarrassment causing me to avoid his gaze.

Let us spend more time together Ferzen.

YesIt was good to see you again.

My heart was content.

My Brother.

Creak!

As soon as the carriage doors closed, Jeremiah couldnt help but smile a little thinking about his little brothers 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.

* * * * *

On a wide pathway.

A lone man could be seen leaving that road and walking into the wilderness.

This should be enough

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 Midfords corpse 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 destinyconflicted emotions rose within me.

Ciel Midford.

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 him.

It was something I suspected could have happened.

His perjury was incited by an unknown personWho also instructed him to bring the Alfreds in.

That was all I could get from him.

Sigh

While heaving an exhausted sigh, I also took the corpse of the 27th head of Brutein, Bavaria Von Grielle Brutein.

Forgive this transgression ancestor.

Then while controlling him, he created a weak flame, lighting my cigarette.

Sparkle!

The pungent smell of tobacco, made some birds flee from my surroundings.

The cloaked man

What was his plan?

Did he plan to steal Ciels body before it was incinerated?

No.

Even if he managed to change the injection from the lethal dose to the Stasis poison.

It would be impossible to transport Ciel Midfords corpse undetected.

So there is only one hypothesis remaining.

He bet on the off chance I would claim ownership of Ciel Midfords corpse.

Just like those students in the Dormitory B were killed during the Academy incident?

Their assigned corpses came back to life and slit their throats.

That cloaked man planned to kill me in the same way.

ReallyThis is fucking ridiculous.

Such crude words slipped out of my mouth.

Dont you agree, Ciel Midford.?

After 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 others

Hahahahah!

Seriously what kind of main character leads such a shitty life

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.

EuphemiaIt seems that I will have to break my promise after all.

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 midnight

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.

I, noSeo-Jin admired the kind of person you were.

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, but

Plop!

Uncorking a bottle of wine, I poured its contents over Ciel Midfords head.

The sweet and savory smell of wine spread around us.

Ciel Midford.

If a thing like reincarnation exists

Thus.

Next time, dream of the impossible.

And achieve it.

Fight the undefeatable enemy.

And claim victory.

Strive for the forbidden love.

And claim her heart.

Withstand the unbearable pain

And catch the stars in the sky that no one would ever dare to try.

Sparkle!

The 27th head of Brutein lit Ciel Midfords body alight.

His burning body produced an unpleasant smell

Taking a sip from the remaining wine in the bottle I gazed at the Protagonist of this World.

Crumble!

Ciel Midford 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.

Even though youre dead

This world didnt end.

The wind still blows.

The stars still twinkle in the sky.

The moon still illuminates the night.

Everything is still continuing, regardless of the main characters death.

This proves that this world is real.

Swish

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 occurred

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 nights breeze coursed through his body.

After reaching this bittersweet finale, Ferzen rose from his seat.

No one will know of your true demise.

But

I shall remember it.

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 nights breeze coiled around the burned grass.

* * * * *

The Lights were still on.

And bright too.

Euphemia must have waited for me all this time.

With a guilty conscience, I entered the mansion.

Ah! Master!

A maid came to me with a restless look.

But my attention was fixed on the doctor standing behind her.

Master!

Ignoring her cries, I ran towards the bedroom.

Bam!

But Euphemia was fine.

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 didnt move.

Ah

Then as she became aware of my presence, Euphemia gagged.

Are you sick?

Ugh

She quietly shook her head in denial.

Euphemia, I saw the doctor here. Do not lie to me.

No. It doesnt hurt

Euphemia

I.Im not sick..

With careful movements, she stroked her womb with a blank face.

T-They said..I was.ImPre-pregIm carrying your ch-child.

T-That was what the doctor said.

Euphemia continued to mumble in an incredulous tone.

Here. In my womb.Your seed.Its growing.

As soon as she said that, I couldnt control myself anymore.

Without saying a word.

Without doubting her.

Quietly, softly and gently.

I hugged her.

Ah!

Later, the maid and the doctor came

And told me that she has been pregnant for three weeks already.

Yes, Euphemia El Lauren Louerg.

Was pregnant.

With my child.

She became the mother of my child.
