“The soul of dead humans…… ?”
—They’re not just dead. They were slaughtered all at once to create the death spirit. How could they do such a terrible thing…!
Somnia’s anger was vividly conveyed to me, her contractor. I, too, felt great shock and anger, and my hands were shaking. Numerous faces protruding from the death spirit’s figure… Does that mean they are all actually dead? And they were killed all at once…
‘How could they… Such an unforgivable act…’
In Theodore’s memory… The person who did the ritual was undoubtedly Owen’s wizard. That means that the Owen and Everett families are behind the creation of the death spirit…
It means that the Everett family massacred so many people…
“…Urp!”
Suddenly, a strong feeling of nausea hit me, and I covered my mouth and retched. My heart was beating quickly and unsteadily. Owen. I never expected him to be this cruel.
‘Scum… No, he’s not even human. He’s a monster… A devil bastard, I won’t feel any relief even if I kill him. How is he going to bear all those sins!’
Extreme disgust towards Owen surged within me. I felt terrible having to see him tomorrow. I had to call such a devil ‘brother’ and behave obediently…
‘…So creepy.’
Goosebumps appeared on my arms. I was rubbing my arms with both hands and chewing my lips, then suddenly turned to look at Theodore. He still hadn’t woken up.
I was worried that something might have gone wrong. I asked Somnia again.
“Somnia, what about Theodore? Why isn’t he waking up?”
—His mental state is still unstable. It will take some time for the broken memories to be sorted out.
“…….”
As I stared at Theodore, whose eyes were closed as if he was quietly sleeping, I fell into thought again.
Owen and the wizard— they created a death spirit in a cruel way… And the rift.
‘…From what I’ve heard, when the balance between magic and spirit power is disturbed, that’s when a rift occurs.’
What if there is a being created by magic that defies the laws of nature? Wouldn’t there be rifts appearing around that area? The abnormally dense magical power will break the balance with elemental power…
‘That death spirit… It was what caused the rifts. Over the past few years, the frequent rifts that have occurred in Veronis…’
…It was all the work of Owen and House Everett.
‘No way, I thought…’
I had no idea that House Everett was really behind the rifts.
A cold feeling flowed from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, as if cold water had been poured on me… Then, the death of Camillus Valentino… It must have been the work of the Everett family.
‘It is said that Camillus Valentino lost his life while trying to prevent a sudden rift…’
That rift… There was a high possibility that it was caused by the wizard’s death spirit.
And perhaps even the death of the previous Duke and Duchess of Valentino… It could have been Everett’s doing.
‘How old is that wizard? Since when did he help the Everett family…? According to Charlotte’s research, it was only recently that he came under Owen’s command.’
All kinds of speculations were tangled in my head. My gut was telling me it was all Everett’s doing, but I needed more solid evidence. For example… Like arresting that wizard and punishing him for his sins.
‘…First of all, we have to make sure Owen doesn’t notice anything.’
Owen was ghastly sharp. When I deal with him tomorrow, if I show even the slightest hint, he’ll notice right away. To prevent something like that from happening, I need to pay close attention to Theodore as well.
‘It was the spirit’s fault that caused Theodore to lose his memory…’
It was certain that just before Theodore lost consciousness, the spirit rushed at him. Before that, Owen’s wizard attacked Theodore and wounded his head.
‘Why did he make Theodore lose his memory? To hide the fact that there were signs of rifts around the death spirit?’
It’s highly likely that it was so. If Theodore had found out about the man-made rift, he would not have stayed quiet.
Theodore would have tried to capture the wizard and the death spirit, and ultimately uncovered the Everett family’s evil deeds.
If it’s revealed that House Everett had been creating man made rifts, there would be a big uproar. The kingdom would be divided, and other countries could invade under the guise of justice.
It must have been a bad picture for the Everett family, who wanted to keep the Fraunces Kingdom under their feet forever and take advantage of it.
‘However… Why did Theodore not only lose his memories of the spirit and the wizard, but also his memories of me?’
It was a moment when such a question suddenly occurred to me.
“Ugh…”
Theodore’s pained groans came. I quickly turned my head and looked at him. He was frowning and gritting his teeth, but slowly opened his eyes. Cold sweat was flowing from his forehead.
“…Are you okay?”
“…….”
As I asked vaguely, Theodore looked up at me with his blue eyes. The eyes were as soft as a wounded animal, but I was no longer agitated by them.
“Lily…”
“What about your memories?”
“…….”
Theodore looked confused. Moreover, he seemed very distressed. He was staring at me with his mouth open, and suddenly a drop of tear fell. I just stared at him expressionlessly.
Theodore spoke in a voice that seemed to choke his throat.
“I remember everything.”
“…….”
“All the memories I lost…”
That meant he remembered the brief moments when he was sweet to me.
I just looked at him in silence. Theodore straightened his back, leaning against the back of the sofa, and ran his hands down his face.
It was not difficult to read the shame that soon appeared on his face.
“I know. It’s too late…”
“…….”
“So I will do whatever you want. Anything for you…”
He spoke as if he was desperately clinging to me. As if pleading with me. I felt like I knew what he wanted without even having to ask.
He is… He hopes to get even a piece of my forgiveness. Just like my past self hoped to get a piece of his attention.
…I opened my mouth and spoke my truth.
“…I don’t want to forgive you.”
“…….”
“If I forgive you, the guilt in your heart will be alleviated a little. But me? My wounds will still be there.”
“…….”
