Episode 165

* * *

Archduke Delosif frowned at the increasing density of magical power.

‘This is… …Nike’s magic.’

The girl’s unique magic was densely filling the space.

It was so dark that the entire courtroom was obscured and the entire courtroom could not be seen.

At that moment, a cheerful voice was heard.

[You know, sis. Shall I tell you a secret?]

When I looked back, Mikarin was looking down at Nikearsha, who was kneeling, smiling brightly.

A crack appeared between the eyebrows of Archduke Delosif.

‘Why would Nike kneel to something like that… … .’

Even Nicaea’s condition was not so good.

His cheeks were sunken and his body was so thin that his joints were prominent.

The dress was too big and didn’t fit, and it looked like it was of poor quality to begin with.

Above all—

‘Why do you have that expression?’

Dry and cracked lips.

Eyes that shake unsteadily, unable to look at Mikarin properly.

“Nike.”

Grand Duke Delosif approached his daughter.

But his voice did not reach his daughter’s ears.

I tried to grab his hand and help him up, but he wouldn’t budge.

The outstretched hand simply passed through Nicaearsha’s body.

Archduke Deloshif was convinced when he saw the magical power in the area I had passed through disintegrate and then regroup.

‘Is this an illusion shown by magic?’

No, to be exact—

‘The past is encapsulated in Nike’s magic.’

Just as rings are carved into a tree, so too is the past engraved into magic.

This sight now was a past engraved by the magic of Nicaea.

‘But there’s no way Nike has a past like this… … .’

At that moment, Mikarin said with a smile, “Uhuhu.”

[My brothers kept their distance from me because they had a very hard time dealing with the accident my sister had. But why did Dad keep his distance?]

[… … .]

[Have you ever thought it was strange? Why your father never eats with you.]

Mikarin lowered her head and whispered in Nicaearsha’s ear.

[The Grand Duchess died because of my older sister.]

[… … !]

The pale Nicaearsha shook her head slightly.

[No, my mother gave birth to me a long time later—.]

[That’s right. He died after giving birth to my sister. Why is that?]

[……why?]

[Magic. That damned nagging sister’s magic. It was poison from the inside. That’s how she died slowly. It’s so sad.]

[… … .]

The light disappeared from Nicaea’s pupils.

When Archduke Delosif saw his daughter’s face, he felt his insides burning.

“Don’t listen to me, Nike. It’s all nonsense! You don’t need to take it to heart!”

But Nicaearsha remained frozen like a broken doll.

Archduke Delosif grabbed his daughter’s shoulder several times, even though he knew he couldn’t touch her.

“Get angry! I’m telling you to slap me in the face for uttering such nonsense!”

There was no response in return.

“Why on earth… why are you so helpless… … .”

My daughter had a fiery temper.

But now even that spark has gone out.

As if it had been trampled so many times that it would never burn again.

“Nike… … .”

The scene changed.

Mikarin dared to press Nicaearsha.

[Do you know how much your father suffered because of you? Covering up all the evil deeds you committed as Princess Delosif!]

[… … .]

[But you’re saying you’re going back to your parents’ house just because you don’t like your married life? Why can’t you think about your father’s feelings?]

wedlock.

At those words, Archduke Delosif looked around.

Certainly, this was not the Archduchess Delosif’s residence at the moment.

[My sister doesn’t think about her father as much as I do as an adopted daughter. That’s what other people say. They say I’m better suited to be my father’s daughter than my sister!]

[… … .]

[So, now, give up the vain fantasy of going back home! If you go back, it will only be a nuisance to everyone!]

I understand why Nicaea is so helpless.

‘I’m living like this, away from my family.’

The author, Mikarin and her husband, extinguished the flame of Nicaea.

How many times did they pour water on it and trample on it so that it would never burn again?

“대체 어떤 개새끼랑 결혼했기에.”

I will tear you to pieces right now.

Nicaearsha was engaged to Iskalion.

I don’t think Iskalion would do that, though… … .

‘If anyone could have made my daughter like this—’

At that moment, the scene changed.

[Yes, Clairs. Uncle—no, I think Dad really loves me.]

Mikarin wraps her arms around Kleas’ neck and kisses him.

The handsome eyebrows of Archduke Delosif were furrowed.

‘That was that son of a bitch. But.’

The Archduke’s gaze turned to Mikarin.

‘Why is that thing calling me dad?’

By the way, I mentioned something about ‘adopted daughter’ to Nicaearsha earlier.

[What happened at the Grand Palace?]

[That’s right, hehe.]

Mikarin smiled shyly and continued speaking with an excited face.

[I fed my dad a steak today. Ah~ I said, try it. Isn’t he like a real daughter?]

Archduke Delosif stood tall.

When I returned from another continent, I remembered the dinner I had with Nicaea.

Even though the meat he liked so much was right in front of him, he was only looking at me.

At that time, I didn’t know why.

I was worried that he might not have an appetite because he had collapsed, so I cut up some steak for him.

‘… … It wasn’t just that I had no appetite.’

Archduke Delosif’s gaze passed over Mikarin and Kleas and turned to the door.

Through the slightly open doorway stood a pale, exhausted Nicaearsha.

That day, Nicaea was recalling this moment.

‘… … Is this really the past?’

In front of their daughter, her husband, Kleas and Mikarin, were kissing and bickering.

[I thought that was something you only did for me.]

[What, Clairs? Are you jealous of my dad?]

[Mikarin, I can’t help but be jealous of you because you’re so lovely.]

The two men obviously knew that Nicaea was watching.

Mikarin’s gaze glanced at the door, and she exchanged mischievous laughter with Clairs.

For the two of them, the fact that Nicaea was watching was a source of amusement.

‘How dare you… … .’

The tendons in his tightly clenched fists bulged.

But no matter how hard I hit, my fist just passed through space.

No matter how much I shouted, how angry I was, or how much I covered my daughter’s eyes and ears, it was no use.

[I guess Dad loves me more than my sister. It’s the same for everyone.]

[Why do you think we were born on the same day at the same time? Don’t you think something has changed?]

[I’m the real awakened one, and my sister didn’t become anything. I guess I’m dad’s real daughter?]

All I could do was watch as my daughter was subjected to countless insults.

For the first time, Archduke Delosif felt incompetent.

No, I wanted to strangle myself.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

“What on earth.”

“Because I… …look like this.”

“… … .”

“Born like this… … .”

When my daughter said that, why didn’t I ask for more details?

“… … I wanted to be a useful daughter to my father.”

“what?”

“I failed to manifest as the greatest Awakener of all time and was not able to fulfill my usefulness, so I must prove myself in some other way.”

“What kind of usefulness does it prove?”

At that time, I thought it was strange to keep talking about how something had to be useful.

‘Like someone who’s been told hundreds or thousands of times that he’s useless.’

But I dismissed it as unlikely.

Who would dare say such a thing to Archduchess Delosif?

‘… … I should have asked then.’

I just thought it was my fault.

You made the child desperate because you didn’t express it properly.

No, actually it was his own fault.

‘I can’t even shout out to Mikarin to stop talking nonsense… ‘

Nicaearsha was staring at the video Mikarin showed her with a blank expression.

[dad!]

[… … Mikarin.]

[I missed you so much, Dad. I’m so glad you escorted me like this today!]

In the video, Mikarin runs to Archduke Delosif and links arms with him.

Even though the video stopped, Nicaearsha couldn’t take her eyes off it.

I just stare at the two of them, like a warm father and daughter.

Archduke Delosif’s eyes were distorted with pain.

.

.

Zerno and Akainu were amazed by the sight surrounding them.

“What the heck is this… … !”

“It is a past engraved in magic.”

“The past? But how is this part of his past?”

Nicaearsha, who had not even been able to get food, was clinging to the splendidly dressed Mikarin and begging her.

[Today is my mother’s anniversary. Please let me see my mother today… ]

[Why is my sister so selfish?]

widely!

Mikarin slapped Nicaearsha’s hand away as if it was dirty.

[Today is a sad day, as my grandmother passed away. I wonder what my brothers would feel if they saw me on a day like this.]

[… … .]

[My sister made a mockery of the empire by lying about being an Awakened One, and caused all sorts of accidents, tarnishing the family’s reputation.]

[… … .]

[Please stop hurting your family now.]

“That crazy?!”

Even though he realized through several experiences that it was useless, Akain could not hold back and threw his fist.

Jerno’s eyes became frighteningly cold.

Nicaearsha was dragged away by a maid and locked up.

On the other hand, Mikarin, who had visited the Archduke Delosif’s residence, returned with a new headdress.

Both Xerno and Akainu recognized the headdress at a glance.

“That’s my mother’s… …!”

“You don’t even know the topic.”

There was no way Nicaea could not have recognized what they had recognized.

[… … I have already been erased from my family.]

thud.

At that small murmur, Jerno and Akain felt their hearts sink.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous! This can’t be happening! Nike didn’t come to my mother’s memorial day, and she only came with that, and now she’s giving me my mother’s belongings!”

“… … .”

“Is this really the past? Isn’t that Mikarin’s delusional thinking?!”

The face of Akainu, who had been chanting, hardened.

Mikarin was rolling around with Kleas, carrying her mother’s belongings.

[How is it, Clairs?]

[It fits you perfectly, like it was made for you.]

[I’m happy. Oh, kiss me more.]

In front of Nicaea.

“Crazy, crazy! Don’t watch this!”

Akainu desperately tried to cover Nicaearsha’s eyes, but it was no use.

“Why don’t you tell us! When you get home—”

“There’s no way she could come. Mikarin acted like our younger sister and even brought back our mother’s belongings.”

“That’s ridiculous! Why would we… … .”

But that wasn’t the end of it.

A greater hell awaited Nicaea.

.

.

Ulysses looked ahead with wavering eyes.

What he was seeing was himself getting angry.

[What the hell is that in the basement, Clea. It’s Nike! Is that what you meant by ‘There’s nothing I won’t do for Mikarin’?]

[Yeah. If you don’t understand, then I guess there’s something you can’t do for Mikarin. Mikarin would be really disappointed if she found out.]

[… … .]

[Report it to the palace. Then you might be able to get the position of Mikarin’s husband that you so desperately wanted. You dirty debaucher.]

[… … .]

[But Mikarin will find out. Whose love is real.]

[… … I didn’t see anything. And I won’t see anything in the future.]

I couldn’t understand it at all.

It feels like you’re looking at another creature wearing your own skin, not yourself.

[I feel sorry for you, Sister. I had a feeling that you might be like that… … .]

[Mikarin. Look at me.]

[… … Ulysses.]

[Even if I go back, I’ll pretend not to know Nike once more. If that’s how I can prove my feelings, even if it’s dozens or hundreds of times.]

[It’s like saying I love you, that’s… … hehe.]

[Smile. I’m happiest when you smile like that.]

“Ugh… … .”

I was filled with anger at his and Mikarin’s actions.

Ulysses covered his mouth.

‘How could you leave Nike in such a state… … .’

The situation of Nicaearsha, trapped in the basement, was horrifying, if not miserable.

[Yul… Liss, please… … tell someone… … my, my situation… … .]

[… … .]

[please…….]

I wanted to hold her hand right now.

But my hand could not reach Nicaea and only passed through.

And the other self who can actually talk to Nicaea is… … .

[It’s your fault for being stupid.]

[… … .]

[It is natural that weaker species are eliminated. It is the law of nature that stupid individuals are eaten by strong individuals.]

[… … .]

[So don’t even think about blaming anyone. It’s fate.]

After saying that nonsense, he went to Mikarin.

“That crazy guy.”

Ulysses repeated this over and over again, covering his mouth.

“You crazy, you crazy, you crazy. Die, you piece of shit.”

“You’re so selfish, I’m going to protect you in the end.”

“Just how much trash is the me inside you?”

“Don’t look down on yourself too much, you’re actually that kind of trash.”

Something Nicaea once said.

It wasn’t just because he had three legs.

‘I did this to Nike… … ?’

And then you shamelessly asked for forgiveness?

You want me to know that I did it for you?

“Ugh… … .”

Ulysses’ body collapsed.

* * *

I sighed deeply as I watched the past flow by.

‘… … Since the magical power was so powerful that it could swallow up space, is it natural that the past engraved in that magical power would be visible?’

It doesn’t seem wrong in theory, but it’s also possible in reality.

I guess my magical power is really enormous.

I shrugged my shoulders, looking at the past flowing by.

“Well, it’s all in the past.”

He paused after speaking.

Is this just a ‘thing of the past’?

It was such a miserable and painful time that I would have been better off dead.

Both the body and the mind are being cut down and cut down to the point where even the original personality is lost.

‘But to just dismiss it as something of the past and move on.’

I was a little surprised at myself.

Meanwhile, the scene continued to change.

A dark shadow fell over me as I collapsed, unable to properly control my body.

‘Ah, it’s Iskalion.’

Feeling happy, I took a step closer.

Iskalion’s eyes shook as he confirmed that he had collapsed in a horrible state.

[Why are you doing this?]

[… … .]

[Why you…]

Iskalion’s face was distorted in pain.

I reached out and gently pecked his forehead.

Even so, you won’t be able to reach it and will only pass through it.

“What did you do well that you’re smoothing out the wrinkles?”

I raised my head at the voice falling over my head.

Iskalion was looking at me with a face that looked like he was about to cry.

Not the Iskalion of the past, but the Iskalion of the present.

“Instead of telling him not to frown, you should have slapped him on the cheek.”

“Have you seen my past?”

“……okay.”

“I hoped you wouldn’t see it.”

Iskalion’s breathing became shaky as he smiled.

“why…….”

“I knew you would be in this much pain.”

Bam.

Finally, a clear teardrop fell from Iskalion’s eye.

“Don’t cry.”

“I couldn’t be with you when you were so sick.”

“… … .”

“I was too late, and I caused you this pain.”

It was such a terribly Iskalion-like remark that I had to laugh.

“I thought it would be terrible to bring up the past. I was afraid that I would be eaten by the past again.”

“… … .”

“But when I look back at it like this, it just seemed like… … ‘something in the past.’”

“How could this just pass by!”

“That’s right. I was curious too, but now I know the answer.”

I looked at Iskalion.

“Because I knew you would come.”

The Iskalion of the past was whispering salvation to my past self.

“Because I knew I would see you again.”

The current Iskalion hugged the current me tightly.

“It’s not too late.”

“… … .”

“You always save me. Just in time.”

In the past, and now.

I hugged Iskalion’s back tightly.

“… … I thought it was a bit regrettable that only I remembered our first meeting.”

“Now I remember too. Until I die—even after I die, I won’t forget.”

That was the moment when I smiled at those words.

Something strange caught my eye.

Iskalion of the past cut my hand.

And then I dropped blood on top of my past self who had fallen unconscious.

A huge amount of blood seeped into me.

And then disappeared without a trace.

“… … ?! What the heck… … .”

Unlike me who was flustered, Iskalion had a calm expression on his face.

When I looked at that face, something uneasy crossed my mind.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s strange.’

At this time, Iskalion was dying from the curse.

But why,

“Come find me. No matter what. Find me.”

Did he ask you to come find him?

I became immersed in the prison and couldn’t even escape it.

In that moment, my whole body trembled as the realization struck my mind.

“ah…….”

It was Iskalion who brought me back.
