Episode 225. The Best Time (2)
This incident helped each of us resolve the worries we had been harboring in our hearts.
Lyman will gradually solve the problem by talking to Mirona, who has regained her memories of her past life, and Mirona will also be reunited with Lyman, whom she has missed so much.
Ruska and Angela confronted Talema, who had been tormenting their sisters, and Jenny was freed from her nightmares by being forgiven by her mother, who had been the source of her guilt.
All the characters have regained true freedom of mind.
The same was true of Nevia Cromag, who was once a villain.
“I watched your imitation of Elder Envyel very well. Your acting was truly amazing.”
“Would you like to learn it?”
“Hehehe, I was just saying that.”
Nevia and I sat together on a quiet hill where no one could be seen.
The grass and flowers blooming on the ground swayed in the wind under the moonlight.
Nebia, who originally would not have matched this beautiful background, looked good today.
“It just occurred to me. It felt like all the complicated threads in my head had unraveled.”
She too had been very worried until this incident occurred.
She, who would have fallen to the level of a villainess and met a terrible end in the main story, also had a reason for becoming so.
The death of a family member who was the only one they could trust and rely on in a slum life where they had to live like beggars.
To her, her father and brother were like two flowers that barely bloomed in a garbage dump.
Her older brother calmed her anxious Nebia, and her father played the role of restraining her violent mother.
Compared to those two, my mother and I had no power.
“I lived in a cold beggar village before I could even grow up. I had no idea how my family had fallen into such a beggarly state, or why I lived so despised by people.”
Even after becoming a saint, I had no idea why. No, I didn’t try to find out.
If they had put in the effort to investigate at a time when they were in a position of high power, they could have figured out the truth, but they didn’t.
Because after being blinded by the immense power, the memories of him gradually became diluted.
If you forget painful memories and live on, it may seem better at first glance, but it doesn’t mean that the wounds you received from those memories will be healed.
Nevia, who was reborn as a saint, could no longer feel the pain of the wound that had taken root in her heart.
Because of this, I didn’t even realize that the wound was continuing to open.
“When I think about that time, the only thing that comes to mind is my mother’s loud voice. For someone like me who has good hearing, it was the worst nightmare.”
The mother’s scolding, which was extremely stressful due to the deaths of two people, was beyond imagination.
Still, Nevia trusted her mother. She said it was just a temporary venting of anger.
But Nebia could read people’s minds through their voices.
At the time, I was not good at reading minds, but my mother’s inner feelings were clear enough.
-It’s because of you.
-Those two people died because of you.
-Why were you born?
-Please go out and die.
That was what Nebia had heard her mother’s true feelings.
Every time I think back to that time, that voice always rings in my head.
The more this happened, the more the wounds in her heart continued to widen, and Nevia tried hard to ignore the pain.
In the end, all that Nebia saw before her eyes was trash, as she had forgotten what worries she had.
It was the moment when everything in the world seemed like trash, and the reason why she was reborn as a villainess.
“Have you ever heard of the concept of compensation psychology?”
“I know. It’s basically the mindset of ‘I can’t be the only one who gets this.’”
I’ve done it before, too. I still remember when I tricked Mary with a Nobel record.
“Yes, I couldn’t be the only one who suffered. It was unfair.”
She was so overcome with resentment that she eventually stopped looking at the world.
We ended up living our lives with blinders on, only looking at each tree, not the entire forest.
The only thing that matters is yourself.
I want to dominate.
Such desires are also closely related to such perspectives.
Why did my father and brother die? Why was my mother such a piece of trash?
And why did his family become beggars?
The reason for knowing them disappeared from Nebia’s mind.
Despite having immense power.
“But even after meeting you, senior, I can now look back.”
I have been running away and ignoring you all this time.
He was just a coward who turned his back on the pain of the wounds that were happening in his heart.
The reason I came to know that was thanks to the bloodthirsty monster that took my freedom away and Angela who had beaten me up.
Once he realized deep down that he was a coward who tried to run away from his past, his lofty ambitions disappeared in an instant.
So I had to look back.
Because his real enemy was not the princess or Angela, who was the object of his inferiority complex during the day.
“Since then, my purpose has been redefined. I also wondered why I was born with such good hearing.”
An important fact that I had forgotten came to mind.
The fact that her father and brother were equally perceptive.
It’s probably no coincidence that everyone in the family, except the mother, has the same traits.
So I had the priests do a secret investigation.
It should have been this way from the beginning.
“The results of the investigation were quite shocking. I never dreamed that my family would be wealthy.”
She, like the Crowler family, was a fallen noble.
Since this was a fact that didn’t even appear in the main story, I was quite surprised when I first found out.
They were not even ordinary nobles, but descendants of the ‘Yeongmyeong Tribe’ who inherited outstanding sensing abilities.
And they were survivors, too. 300 years ago, the Dawn Tribe was said to have been wiped out due to continued discrimination and the Demon King’s rampage.
“And now I understand why my mother was so violent. It was because she loved my father materially, not emotionally.”
She was a mother who had married with the dream of a wealthy life. It was difficult for her to adapt to life in the slums.
So who brought about the downfall of her family?
“If it was the ability to see through someone’s true identity, it would have been a headache for the Demon King 300 years ago.”
The first thing that Machia did after being reborn as the Demon King was to eliminate anyone who could become his enemy.
The Dawn Tribe was not mentioned in the main story, as it was only mentioned briefly.
But Machia would not have expected that there would be survivors left.
So the guy who appeared before him was a descendant of those who had been followers of Machia during the emperor’s time.
“I didn’t know at the time because I was still babbling, but according to the religious order’s investigation, my family was exterminated on the charge of practicing evil magic. The group that intensively investigated this was none other than the Magic Federation.”
Yes, it was a magical organization with Enviel as its highest elder.
He was a descendant of the followers of Machia, and he used his innate ‘Evil Eye’ to create a force that looked up to and praised him. Examples include the Vladimir School and the Heidern School.
The ‘Maan’, which can see through the essence of a target, was used to distinguish between subordinates who would follow him.
And using that, they discovered that Nebia’s family was descendants of the Dawn Tribe.
“Yes. Our family was ruined by the tricks of Elder Enviel. And it didn’t end there. Our entire family was put in danger of being executed.”
It may seem like an overreaction to imprisonment or execution, but it is not surprising considering that the Emperor was Machia on the inside.
However, Nebia’s family, who barely managed to escape, fled to a harsh region.
It was my father and brother who finally figured out the true nature of the emperor, so they decided to fight against them.
“That’s how the rebels were born in the snowy slums, and even this was discovered by the imperial family, so in the end….”
The slum massacre has occurred.
It’s obvious what happened after his brother and father were murdered.
“Thanks to you, I was able to realize who the main culprit was that ruined my life. If I hadn’t met you, I would have continued to be used by the Demon King in the guise of an emperor.”
The Nevia of the original story, who was obsessed with self-esteem, was no different from a puppet.
A miserable being who assists in attacking Alighieri as the Emperor wished, but ends up meeting his end.
It’s quite ironic, considering that her real enemies were the Emperor, including Doomsday.
“But I was able to get revenge on him. I’m sure my father and brother in heaven will be pleased.”
Although he was unable to kill her, he succeeded in bringing about the complete downfall of Machia, the mastermind behind everything.
It was she who destroyed the evidence that Machia was trying to collect, and it was she who revealed the guy’s true form.
He couldn’t help but be satisfied with the fact that he had managed to send the guy into the abyss in a way only he could.
“Maybe that’s why… I feel lighter than usual.”
Nevia smiles brightly at me.
The fact that she felt lighter both physically and mentally meant that she felt happy. The negative emotions she had felt from me were gone.
Her hair looks more shinier under the moonlight.
She, who was made to fit the light, became a being truly worthy of being a saint.
The view of the village illuminated on that moonlit night is also great.
The destroyed building was being restored by numerous artificial golems.
If humans had wisdom and courage, they could always take revenge on broken hearts and wounds.
“I feel ashamed of myself for not being able to feel gratitude while living in such a beautiful world.”
“How do you plan to live from now on?”
“What should I do? I will repay the favor and atone for the people who woke me up.”
Snap-
Nebia’s delicate jadeite grabbed my hand.
And then he pulled me closer to him, his face coming closer, and finally something wet brushed my cheek.
I had experienced it several times before, so I knew right away what it was.
Thanks to that, the speed at which I panicked was also fast.
“This is my first repayment, senior.”
Of course, I got used to it quickly because I had experienced it many times.
Perhaps because her feelings for me had become certain, I could feel the power of the Holy Spirit flowing from the hand that touched me.
[Erosion rate reduction: -4%]
[Erosion rate decrease: -3%]
[Erosion rate decrease: -2%]
At that moment, I opened my eyes wide as I saw a window opening.
The erosion rate is decreasing on its own even though you haven’t lied yet.
This is a phenomenon I’ve experienced before.
So I tried to vocalize it.
“Liar’s… Curse…!”
It wasn’t muted. I lost my mind for a moment at that fact.
“Senior? Can’t you hear me?”
“Saint Nevia…”
When I called her, Nevia tilted her head.
And then, in admiration, he hugged her.
“thank you!!”
“No… I haven’t allowed it to go this far yet…”
At first, Nevia was embarrassed, but after being hugged by me, her face gradually turned red and she started to get excited.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. More importantly… why are you suddenly like this?”
Nevia felt helpless at the sudden skinship and fumbled with her fingers.
Nebia’s face didn’t cool at all as her heart pounded as if it was going to burst.
“That’s it.”
I tried to explain what had happened so far.
Now that I’m holding hands with her, I feel reassured that I won’t be silenced.
“You were here.”
Someone was coming this way, stepping on the grass.
It was the Bayman Dreadnought that came up the hill and spoke to us.
“I’ve been looking for a long time. Radon Crowler.”
At what the guy said, I let go of Nebia’s hand for a moment.
Because at this point, there’s no particular reason for Bayman to come looking for me.
The guy’s expression at the moment looked very serious. It was a face that conveyed a sense of mission that he absolutely had to accomplish something.
It was an expression that he, who was like a cornered person, would never make.
So I furrowed my brow and asked why he had come.
“That… that…”
Bayman’s hands were shaking and his speech was slurred.
It was strange that he came suddenly, but the more he showed this kind of behavior, the more suspicious he seemed.
That was when.
thud!-
“I look forward to working with you in the future, brother-in-law!”
With his head bowed and his forehead pressed to the ground, Bayman shouted loudly.
At that sound, I blinked, wondering what was going on, and Nevia, who heard the sound of his mind, burst into laughter for some reason.
