Chapter 470
The southern part of the zodiacal Gradium, at the entrance to the Krynto Forest.
Everyone, including myself, gathered at the pre-arranged assembly point.
-uuuuu
“are you okay?”
“It’s not okay, but what? That’s about it… … .”
Harriet asked carefully as she wiped the blood from my mouth.
“Still, to have your heart pierced twice in one day, there are so many experiences like this that there’s nothing good about it.”
It hurt behind me.
Being pierced by a spear was unexpected, but having his heart pierced by a rament a second time was done knowingly on purpose.
under oath.
Knowing that being stabbed is more scary and painful.
Of course, now it has been healed by Tiamata’s divine power, but the memories of pain do not easily disappear.
Above all.
Ellen’s shocked expression after stabbing me was stuck in my mind and I’ll never forget it.
It will definitely be a trauma.
I couldn’t be at ease knowing that not only had they stabbed me, but that today’s experience would make Ellen feel like hell.
I thought there might be Ellen on the scene, but I didn’t expect that the crowd would push her and force her into a fight.
Harriet unlocked the space travel shield and pulled me out at the right time according to the signal.
The Black Order’s leader is dead, and the remnants retreat.
I’m not sure what they’re going to do with me again.
The monsters of the gate were not nearby because the Knights periodically wiped out the monsters near the ecliptic. Of course, even that wasn’t perfect, so there were cases where monsters appeared in the refugee camp in the imperial capital.
Now there were no monsters visible within visual range near this forest.
A lot of unexpected things happened, but I was able to achieve the goal I wanted in the end.
We succeeded in rescuing Sarkegar, Lucinil, and Charlotte.
Although I had to do harsh things to Ellen unintentionally.
that it was unavoidable
I think so.
Charlotte was marinated at first.
But now he was up.
Charlotte was distraught, not knowing what had happened to her.
Charlotte has black hair and red eyes.
Could it be that I can no longer return to my original form from this state?
“Lowering… … .”
Sarkegar looks at me and speaks with a trembling voice.
“sorry. found it too late me too. There was so much to do… … . No, that’s okay. Sorry. I am too late.”
“No, lower. Just seeing you so unharmed… … . God… … . God… … .”
I quietly embraced Sarkegar, who was sobbing miserably.
It’s the true form of Dreadfiend, so it’s a bit frightening, but what about it?
I am grateful that Sarkegar is safe.
After hugging like that, I quietly hugged Lucinel as well.
“I’m sorry, my lord. I’m late… … .”
Lucynil also smiled and hugged me.
“No really? Because of your warning, me and this guy got along pretty well. I was treated like a royal guest. I heard in advance what will happen at the execution ceremony today.”
Lucinil hugged me by the neck and patted my back.
Finally, I stood in front of the dazed Charlotte.
“uh… … .”
What should I start with?
Just as Charlotte was lost, I was equally at a loss for words to begin with.
“I did it because I felt I had to do this… … .”
“… … .”
In front of Charlotte, who had no idea what was going on, I finally sighed.
“You have to go with me from now on… … . hmm… … . First of all, I’m sorry for everything up until now.”
Seeing my apology, Charlotte’s lips trembled.
“I don’t know if you still hate me… … . I couldn’t let it go.”
I don’t know what Charlotte is thinking.
But I certainly lied a lot, and it is true that I cheated on Charlotte.
Even Charlotte’s mother, Sarkegar, her enemy, is now standing by her side.
You may not be able to forgive me.
I don’t know what Charlotte did to me. But Charlotte looked at me and bit her lip.

Then, as if collapsing, Charlotte suddenly fell to her knees.
And then, he lowered his head.
Kneeling in front of me, bowing his head to the point of banging his head on the ground.
“Ugh… … . eww… … . ugh… … . ugh Ugh! Ugh!”
Charlotte cried as if screaming.
“No, no, why are you crying… … . I see… … .”
Did you feel sorry for me?
Like I feel sorry for everyone.
Did Charlotte feel guilty about me all this time?
Me, Ellen, and Charlotte.
why do we
Did they end up feeling guilty for each other?
Why are you so engrossed in the thought that everything is your fault?
“Ugh! Black! Ugh! Ooh, ooh! ugh… … ugh… … .”
sorry and guilt.
Charlotte lets out a beastly cry that sounds like nausea because of it.
“Uh, uh… … . eww… … . sorry… … ah. mi sorry sorry… … . Sorry… … . well… … . wrong… … . I was wrong… … .”
I knelt in front of Charlotte, who was crying and banging her head in front of me.
“I, too, made a lot of mistakes.”
“Oh no! no! me, i… … . I didn’t trust you! All because of me… … . All, all, all because of me… … . because of me… … .”
I couldn’t help but watch Charlotte cry for a long time like a small animal and pat her on the back.
* * *
Lucinil, Sarkegar, and Charlotte.
I managed to take them all back to the Edina Archipelago.
Lucinil and Sarkegar were not treated harshly or tortured for my warning.
Nothing happened.
The Black Order attacked me, killed their leader, and even had to fight Ellen who was there.
Many civilian casualties occurred.
But in the end, I succeeded in safely bringing the three I was aiming for.
Charlotte didn’t hate me, she felt guilty.
Who was the cause of all this in the end?
It seems inevitable that the gate incident occurred due to the intertwining of each other’s feelings and my lies.
Everyone seemed to take responsibility for all of this.
Rajak’s kingdom.
I felt the need to be alone with Charlotte.
At first glance, Charlotte was too weak, and in very poor condition.
Charlotte, who had stopped crying almost in a fit, lowered her head.
Even making eye contact with me made me feel guilty.
“It is all in the past.”
“… … .”
“Let’s end each other’s wrongdoing, everything.”
“… … .”
But those words couldn’t erase the guilt Charlotte felt towards me.
“I am… … . then no. I am… … . You deserve this help… … . doesn’t exist. even alittle… … . Until this… … . don’t help me… … . i betrayed you I didn’t trust you you… … . I didn’t try to understand… … .”
So as if you think you’d rather be killed by a monster in some street or wilderness.
“People died because of me… … . All… … . It’s because of me… … .”
Charlotte’s guilt went beyond self-reproach and became self-torture.
I grabbed Charlotte’s cheeks as she kept repeating masochistic words with her head down, and forced me to look into my eyes.
Charlotte, who had the devil’s eyes, couldn’t bear to look me in the eye and lowered her eyes, then closed them altogether.
“Do you remember what I said a long time ago?”
“… … .”
“If you do this, what will I become?”
If the demon king’s soul resided in his body, wouldn’t it be better to die?
When I said that, I spoke to Charlotte with sadness.
How would I feel if you didn’t value your life and kept repeating these masochistic thoughts?
“If you do this, what would it be like for me to risk my life to escape from the castle, and what would it be for you to keep your ego while killing my father’s soul? I had to fight the Black Order and Ellen to bring you back. If you do this… … . I who brought you here… … . what will it be?”
“… … .”
At those words, Charlotte struggles to open her eyes and looks at me.
His eyes were full of tears.
Those tears stemming from a sense of guilt, it was painful for me to see.
“Live for me. If you’re sorry, work for me as much as you’re sorry.”
“… … Day?”
“Yes, to be honest, rather than bringing you here to save you… … . uh… … .”
I think this one would be better.
Because I can’t seem to accept myself being with me because of guilt and guilt.
It’s because I can’t seem to tolerate being given such a comfortable environment.
“I brought you to work.”
Just as Elerith destroyed the warp gate to relieve guilt and guilt. Like putting off thinking about guilt and guilt indefinitely while desperately trying to do something.
Let’s make Charlotte think there’s something she has to do, something she can do.
And actually, I brought Charlotte here because I needed her.
“You have a lot of work to do.”
“I… … ? what to do… … ?”
“Anyway, if you feel sorry for me, if you feel guilty towards people, work. Work to pay it off.”
I will be in debt
Pay off the debt that saved your life three times.
If those words could instill even a little bit of determination in the present Charlotte, these words would be better.
“I am… … . It’s like this… … . how i… … . what can i do… … .”
What the heck can I do in the form of a devil, despite this situation, made me laugh a little.
“No, great.”
I gently run a hand through Charlotte’s black hair.
I guess I shouldn’t be saying this.
“You have a better visual than me.”
“… … ?”
To be honest, it was true that Charlotte had a more devil-like visual than me.
There are obviously no writers who ask a demon lord representative who looks like this to have a fight with a plate or cup that has been broken.
When I heard that I brought her to work, not to save her, I roughly squeezed Charlotte’s cheeks, who was taken aback.
“… … !”
“So from now on, eat well and take care of your body. I mean exercise too. okay?”
“… … .”
“You have to do it to do it right. is not it?”
Charlotte looks up at me, her cheeks swollen.
“Answer me quickly.”
Letting go of her hand on her cheek, Charlotte lowers her head with a dazed expression.
“… … huh.”
Charlotte cried again, knowing why I was talking this way.
I told him that he would get angry if I kept crying, but I held my breath while trying to force myself not to cry, and then I thought I would run out of breath.
I had no choice but to pat him on the back.
