How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 108



Only Noblemtl

Episode 108. Act 1, I’ll upload it (1).

Jack felt the tears that were about to fall from his eyes at Kael’s words dry up and he looked at him with a somewhat desolate expression.

“Your Majesty… Did you really have to say those lines… now?”

“I’m not as free as you.”

“It’s ridiculous that I was already swayed by information that was tailored to me!!! Do you really have to destroy my emotions like this!!!”

Barack! At Jack’s shouting voice, Kael felt somewhat bewildered by the reality that the only suitable candidate was the boy before him.

“I told you that I wouldn’t tell anyone else, and I’ve never mentioned your real name or brought up the tree fairy’s name in front of you since the first time we met. Aren’t you the only one who’s been misunderstanding and mistaken until now?”

That was also true.

I was the only one who misunderstood, made mistakes, gave myself medicine, and committed all kinds of acts of self-disclosure while lying in bed, so I couldn’t think of anything to say in response.

… But if you give yourself some time to get emotional, what’s the problem?

That complaint was fleeting. Looking at the current situation and his personality that he had seen so far, Jack’s forehead fell to the living room floor, thinking that it was worth adding to.

– Thud.

There was a heavy sound as his forehead met the floor, and Jack soon raised his head and opened his mouth.

“What should I do?”

Emotions are best when you are alone.

What kind of emotions can I feel in front of this person?

In response to Jack’s question, Kael opened a portal and thrust a crimson robe and black mask in front of him, with a piece of paper placed on top of it.

It wasn’t the piece of paper I had written my reply to Mabel on.

“idea.

He is over 180cm tall, always wears a crimson robe and a black mask, has a mischievous and playful side, and speaks with an unknown voice, seemingly an adult or a boy. His movements are smooth and almost imperceptible.

One who longs for the destruction of the world.

A person full of resentment towards the world.

“Those who believe that destruction is true salvation.”

“This is….”

“As you can see from reading, this is the idea you have to act out. I put a voice-changing spell on the mask, so it will be easy to act out the voice. Practice acting out the idea’s appearance today, and come see me tomorrow.”

Jack looked back and forth between the paper with Idea’s characteristics written on it and Kael, then he pointed to the ‘height of over 180cm’ written on the paper with his shaking fingertips.

“Your Majesty, you’re definitely not over 180cm tall. That means… when your Majesty is in Idea’s form, the heels on your shoes…”

“Because you can’t lose height.”

But Kael didn’t care at all and answered coldly, and Jack, who had been hoping to tease him even a little, nodded with a look of lost interest.

That’s a very reasonable reason.

Height can give us quite a bit of information when it comes to guessing a person.

“Please give me a letter to give to Miss Mabel too.”

Jack, who had even received a neatly folded piece of white paper, ran his hand through his messy hair. As the soft, light green hair, which was both natural and well-maintained, quickly found its way back into place, Jack sat up.

“Well then, I guess I’ll be going now.”

“okay.”

Jack smiled as if he heard someone telling him to hurry up and go.

Whether it’s our first meeting or now.

It was still the same as being unlucky.

What’s different from then….

“Oh, let’s also explore the streets of the capital where there are few people. It would be better if it’s a place that the Imperial Knights have been patrolling carefully recently.”

The darker shadows on his eyes than yesterday told him how tired he was.

He could have easily ordered me around, using the oath as an excuse or using the World Tree that I was the leader of. If not, he could have found fault with me, saying that I had already decided to accept the request, but he readily accepted the conditions I had laid out.

Even if he had asked without specifying conditions like this, he probably would have answered. So Jack now knew that the person he was facing was actually a more affectionate person than he had thought.

“Yes, yes. Whose request is it? I have to give it top priority.”

Jack turned around.

“And… thank you for telling me, Your Highness.”

“If you are grateful, focus on the request as much as you are grateful.”

As if indifferent. As if blunt. Jack disappeared from the villa with a slightly brighter smile in response to the reply.

Three days after that.

The guards guarding the capital urgently reported to the Imperial Knights that a ‘monster’ had appeared, and upon hearing the story, the Emperor personally visited the Viscount Damier.

“… There are many people who say they have actually seen the monster you mentioned.”

Emperor Bastian, sitting across from Kael in his office, let out a sigh with a serious expression.

“Is this what you told me about two days ago?”

?Your Majesty, the monsters that disappeared from the capital will soon reappear. I suspect that it is the work of those known as ‘Ideas’ that we saw in the Black Forest… .?

As Bastian said, Kael came to see him quietly two days ago without anyone knowing.

When he met the Archimandrite, Bastian welcomed him, as he had known that he would come to see him personally soon, as written at the bottom of the document he had given him, and was unable to hide his embarrassment at the story that came out of his mouth.

The Ideas, those who wish for the destruction of the world that they met in the Black Forest. And the attack of the monsters that Kael said he saw.

Bastian had a hard time accepting the unexpected story.

?Is it certain that there are people called Ideas??

?I’ve also met Lars in person. If you have any doubts, you might want to ask him.?

?No, it’s not that I don’t believe what you say…?

It’s a monster.

There was no one who did not know that the world was currently heading towards destruction, but there were clearly some things that were better than the past.

It was like that, with only humans, without any other races.

One of the good things about it was that there were no deaths or damage from monster attacks.

But the monsters are appearing again?

Monsters… especially high-level monsters, were beings that could kill a village or dozens of people just by revealing themselves.

That’s why Bastian couldn’t easily say that he believed Kael’s words, which he had always trusted without a doubt. To be exact, he didn’t want to believe them.

But the day after hearing that, reports of monster sightings began to pour in, and eventually they reached Bastian’s ears.

“I always say… I can’t see the distant future. I can only see the near future.”

Kael, who had been silent, opened his mouth, and Bastian looked at him.

?I wish I was a hero.?

?If Viscount Damie can solve another worldly danger just like this one and gain the fame he deserves… then I will recognize both custody and parenting rights for Mabel.?

The voice of the high priest I had met in the conference room came to mind.

?That’s right. The hero that the High Priest spoke of. I’ll try to become one. Until then, not a single fingertip of my daughter’s… no, not a single hair on her head should be harmed.?

Bastian raised his hand and wiped his face, recalling Kael’s voice that had answered him so easily.

He really hated the current situation.

I’m in a situation where I start to doubt my close friend who always gives me helpful advice, and then I have to say it out loud to confirm my doubts.

“You… when you answered the Grand Chancellor, was it after you saw this future? So… did you answer so easily?”

Bastian’s voice flowed out, lower than usual, and Kael nodded slowly.

– Boom!

Bastian saw his nod and slammed his fist on the desk in front of him.

“Then shouldn’t you have told me in advance?!”

Bastian’s anger exploded, unable to tell whether it was directed at Kael, who had known this would happen but had not spoken out, or at himself.

Despite his anger that made even the air tremble, Kael showed no signs of agitation. He simply picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the tea inside.

“I wish I had told you in advance.”

“… … .”

“I got to see that future on the day I met the High Priest. That’s why I wrote down a document while trying to find a way to tell His Majesty. And then I went straight to see him the next day and told him.”

The day after seeing the future. Bastian let out a gasp of breath at Kael’s words that he had come to see him. The breath that came out as if bursting out was filled with trembling.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Idea in advance. I did hear an explanation from Lars. I only saw them that day. It was only a few hours, and I thought it would be dangerous to judge hastily, so I planned to find out more and tell you. I think I made a mistake.”

At Kael’s words of apology to me, a complex mixture of guilt and regret flashed through Bastian’s eyes for a moment.

“No… No. It’s not something you should apologize for. It’s Jim who should apologize.”

“I believe you will not just apologize in words.”

Kael responded to Bastian’s words with a playful remark, and Bastian’s stiff expression softened slightly at his words.

“It seems like you want something else.”

“I think you should help me a little so that I can become a hero. Your Majesty the Emperor will not suffer any loss.”

“How can I help you?”

Kael answered Bastian’s question.

“Just use me.”

“You?”

“As Your Majesty knows, I am better at using magic than most palace magicians.”

It was a remark bordering on arrogance, but Bastian readily agreed.

The palace was always staffed with palace knights to prevent intruders, and his own room was especially protected by magic that the palace magicians had painstakingly created. However, Kael always came and went from his room too easily.

“To be honest, I didn’t want to reveal my magical abilities because it would be a huge hassle. But now I think I have to.”

“Are you going to step forward and handle this situation yourself?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I need you to help me a little so I can become a hero.”

Inside the dimly lit office, Bastian opened his mouth, thinking that Kael, with his back to the moonlight, looked somehow devilish and sinister.

“Tell me what I can do to help you, Jim.”

A faint smile appeared on Kael’s lips at his words.
