The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 372
373 – Saint of the Church
Parvati opened her eyes feeling cold. Although she knew she was going to die, all she had done was lose her limbs and her mind. Parvati, who felt her dazed mind slowly becoming clearer as if she had just woken up, struggled as if in a fit as her memories flashed in her mind for a moment.
The person he cared about died. Nata, who was like a mother, and my precious younger siblings who had many dreams. Everyone lost their lives to one person. These children should not die like that. Parvati, who was struggling on the bed, reflexively turned her head toward the sound of the door opening.
“ah… .”
He was not a member of the cult that came to save him. A blonde handsome man with cool blue eyes. The person who caused Parvati to lose everything precious had entered the room.
“Ah… Ah… !!!”
The tongue was not cut out. It’s just that no words could replace Parvati’s anger. Roel sat down on the bed holding a wet towel towards Parvati, who was letting out a scream-like moan and glaring at her with hateful eyes.
Looking at Parvati’s gaze, Roel wiped Parvati’s body with a towel. Only then did Parvati realize that she was naked and she gritted her teeth.
“how much… How much do you plan on humiliating me? Was it not enough to send me to hell?”
Roel stopped his hand when he heard Parvati’s watery voice.
“… “I don’t plan on doing that.”
“then!”
Parvati, who cried out loud, asked Roel with eyes that looked like they were about to shed tears at any moment.
“Why on earth did you kill those kids? Those poor innocent kids… .”
Roel slightly opened his lips and then closed them again. Roel, who was silent for a moment as if contemplating her answer, moved her hand again and she spoke softly.
“… “It was just collateral damage.”
“what… ?”
For a moment, Parvati thought she had heard wrong and looked blankly at Roel’s face. Her face was like a mask, showing no emotions. Parvati, realizing that the other person did not feel any guilt, distorted her face and shouted.
“You murderer! I can never forgive you! “The religious leader will definitely punish your sins!”
“… “Why are you angry?”
Parvati was momentarily speechless at the sight of Roel looking at her with eyes that seemed incomprehensible. The question in his voice was sincere. She felt as if she was puzzled to see someone who didn’t deserve to be angry get angry.
The moment Parvati opened her mouth to vent her anger, Roel muttered first.
“Those children are sacrifices anyway.”
“… what?”
Roel tilted his upper body and brought his face closer to Parvati. Parvati, who was glaring at Roel with her hateful eyes, flinched without realizing it due to the strange impulse she felt at that moment. Blue eyes wavered and observed Parvati’s expression. After a moment, Roel spoke with an apologetic expression on her face.
“You didn’t know yet. So that means the cult leader hasn’t moved yet… “Have we not yet achieved complete causality?”
“… What are you talking about? It’s a sacrifice. If you’re trying to fool me by saying something like that, then stop it! Those children are not sacrifices or anything. “They were precious children who would become the future of our denomination!”
“future?”
Roel let out a happy laugh. Parvati felt an unknown fear as she saw Roel smiling as if she was genuinely happy.
“Why would a cult that aims to destroy the world have any reason to think about the future?”
“… That’s a common misunderstanding. “The doctrine of the church is not simply to wish for the destruction of the world!”
“No, it’s not a misunderstanding. You destroy the world. Tens of thousands of times.”
“… ?”
Parvati was unable to follow the conversation as Roel spoke with such confidence. Thinking that Roel was clearly mistaken, Parvati suppressed her anger and calmly began the conversation.
“The children of that village are not sacrifices. “As a condition for me becoming a saint of the church, I promised to protect children who lost their parents on the continent.”
As soon as Parvati finished speaking, Roel returned his upper body and put the towel down next to the bed. Roel, with a bitter smile, closed his eyes as if remembering something about him.
And he muttered quietly.
“Rif, Ariel, Lucy, Ophils, Fenia, Tris, Harry, Orion, Balaga, Dor, Horeth, Theodore, Vincent, Fudge, Spears, Carl, Robert, Elda, McLore, Penelope, Padma, Hardin, Parker, Mike, Susan, Ernie, Lily, Molly, Ginny, George, Edessa, Wilkins, Brian, Skandeberg, Paron, Albus, Lawrence, Mark, Peter… .”
The name flowed endlessly from Roel’s mouth. It wasn’t just a name. All of those names were children from the village that Roel had killed. There was no difference at all from the names that Parvati remembered carefully one by one.
“Uh, how… .”
When Parvati stuttered and asked, Roel half-opened her closed eyes and smiled sadly.
“Leif’s dream was to become a great knight and protect everyone. Tris wanted to become a wizard and protect you, and Lucy wanted to become a doctor. Ofils, Vincent, and Fudge have wanted to live in the village with everyone for a long time. George, Edessa, Wilkins, and Brian had a dream of going to the sea they had seen in books and becoming fishermen. Paron became a priest of the church and wanted to be by your side, whom he had unrequited love for-”
As Roel continued speaking, Parvati felt a strange pain in her chest. Roel knew everyone better than she knew herself. As Roel said, Parvati eventually burst into tears as she naturally imagined her future children achieving their dreams.
“… Nata’s dream has always been to remain a good mother to her children.”
“How do you know that… ? How, how… How could you kill everyone even though you knew them in such detail? Knowing that everyone is innocent… Knowing that Nata did not actually follow the religious order, but was just someone who loved children and served them… how.”
“Because we watched and remembered each person’s ideals for eons.”
“what… ?”
Parvati, who had a questioning expression, met Roel’s gaze. At that moment, Parvati trembled at the intense emotion felt in her blue eyes. It was so clear and obvious that she couldn’t deny that Roel was sad. She was just hiding her sadness rather than showing it on the outside.
“Soon, the children were scheduled to become living sacrifices for the cult leader’s cause and effect. Every time Nata tries to protect the children, her whole body explodes and she dies. When you realize the truth too late, you feel betrayed by the church, but there is nothing you can do about it. That’s what will happen in the future. So I went to the village and killed the children. To capture you, the saint of the cult, and disrupt the cult leader. “Because it’s the most efficient.”
“What is that… Efficiency, the future? What does it mean for Nata to die every time? .”
Parvati was confused. I couldn’t understand at all that Roel knew all the village children and that he was talking about the future. One thing is certain: Roel believes everything he says is true.
Roel looked at Parvati and smiled slightly.
“You don’t have to understand. Because I never asked for understanding. But it was necessary. “The reason I cut off your limbs was because you tried to escape every time, and the reason I kidnapped you was because I needed your role.”
“What are you talking about? What on earth does that mean? “Say something that makes sense!!!”
As Parvati struggled and screamed, Roel reached out with a bitter smile and gently stroked the area below Parvati’s belly button. Parvati, who had stopped struggling under her touch, asked, grinding against her.
“Do you want my body?”
“Yes, because you are a saint of the church.”
From noble mtl dot com
Parvati said with a laugh at the obvious answer.
“… “I have no intention of humiliating you.”
“That’s right, I don’t do that. Just use your body. “Not the church, but me.”
“What is that-”
“Because you are a sacrifice no different from children.”
“… “I’m a sacrifice?”
Roel smiled at Parvati, who gave her a puzzled look, and got up from the bed. Then he walked over to the window with the curtains hanging down and pulled them aside.
Sunlight from outside brightened the room through the window. Parvati, who was blinking, lifted her head with difficulty and looked out the window. It was a beautiful city. A tourist city that remains vivid in Parvati’s memory.
Only then did Parvati realize where she was.
“This place… .”
It was clearly El Dorado, ruled by the Golden King. Beautifully carved buildings and special styles can only be seen in El Dorado. Parvati, unable to hold on any longer, relaxed her hold on his neck and laid her head back on his pillow.
“Why am I here…?”
In response to Parvati’s question, Roel came to the bedside. Roel said, looking down at Parvati.
“For smooth negotiations with the Golden King.”
“I’m thinking of selling myself to the Golden King…” ?”
“No, if you refuse to negotiate, I plan to release the parasite living inside you.”
Roel pressed the area below Parvati’s navel with his fingertips.
“Because you are the host that harbors the bug of chaos.”
Parvati couldn’t understand Roel’s words. The reason he smiles while looking at the city outside the window.
