Chapter 11.2:
“What and how much Lord Rivelon knows. What does he want to know, and what he wants from me. Could you please tell me?”
That being said, ‘What I know is your past and future, and what I want to know is your taste. What I want from you is to repent and repent so that you can contribute to world peace!’
“Well, that’s…Sp, spare me?”
“Why would I kill my aide, I won’t.”
Serpence’s long, rich eyelashes slightly sank, casting a dark shadow around his eyes.
“…depending on the answers.”
I really thought I’ve been doing well. Serpence wasn’t as scary as I had been worried about, and he showed an interesting side. Because of that, I saw possibility, I concentrated on it and got distracted.
‘Without being aware that this is his goal…’
Unlike Humanus, who knew nothing, I knew the past of Serpence. So I was proud that I could open his heart. But all the efforts I put in came back attacking me.
“I, maybe…”
“Say it.”
Serpence with a relaxed expression waited patiently with a gentle smile. He has a lot of time anyway…Is that it?
“If I said I couldn’t speak, what would you do…?”
“Lord Rivelon, what do you think I will do?”
The content of [Master of the Holy Sword] flashed through my mind. Mostly Serpence killing or torturing others. Serpence never killed them easily.
‘More painful. More miserable. More brutal. Make them feel even more afraid.’
The day of the choice had not yet come, but Serpence was already well aware of the methods. He knew it all too well because he had personally experienced it.
“Actually, I didn’t mean to push you this far.”
The green eyes behind the round glasses looked sharply as if they knew my thoughts.
“Lord Rivelon continues to fear me.”
At the time, I believe that the present Serpence had not yet fully been corrupted. But where is the guarantee that he won’t do anything? Knowing the circumstances in which Serpence grew up and the pain he suffered. Knowing that he was acting. I thought I was looking beyond what others could see.
“You seem to be having a pretty interesting idea.”
Seeing me turning white, Serpence smiled. It is still bright outside the window. The warm sunlight came out and embraced Serpence. But I felt the coolness of a snake crawling on my back, and I couldn’t move.
“So much that I wonder what kind of thoughts you have.”
It was on purpose. He was holding his breath slowly, deliberately trying to impress fear.
“Ah, come to think of it, earlier. You said you have no interest in me.”
Somehow, I seem to know the next line.
“It looks like you’ll have now. No, you probably already have.”
After saying those words, Serpence carefully examined my face without saying a word. It’s like saying ‘that’s you’. It felt as if a snake wrapped around my body and kept moving, giving me a chill.
“The future looks like it will be fun, doesn’t it?”
“Why no answer?”
“I’m going to be a little sad.”
“Answer, won’t you?”
“Answer. You’d better do…”
“If I lose interest, I don’t know how I’m going to act.”
Serpence slowly said one sentence, one sentence. He gave time and gradually pressed. The moment I get caught up in it, it’s over. Should I tell him what I know? Do I have to tell him, and will he even believe me?
‘Actually, this is fiction. The holy sword will belong to someone else, and you will eventually fall and become the final boss. And in the end, you will be killed by the prince, the master of the holy sword.’
That sounds very believable. If I tell the truth, I will die. I have no choice but to say something though.
‘Let’s calm down, let’s calm down. I can’t get stuck like this.’
Talking about the coming future is not helpful in the present situation. The fact that the Holy Sword will choose Humanus is a story too far in the future. All I know of what happened before the day of choice came, was that Zion was hit by a wagon and died.
‘This is of course dismissed.’
As I recalled, nothing was of any use right now. So what happened in the past? Let’s talk about it based on the last recollection I had.
‘Even if I don’t have a good way to convince him…’
If only I could corrode his thoughts little by little and paralyze them. I just have to make sure that he doesn’t have the time to dig into loopholes by using logic.
‘Serpence’s only got a lot of scars when he was young, he’s not scary. He hasn’t been corrupted yet. It’s okay, I can do this.’
I thought as if I was brainwashing myself. The fear seemed to be fading little by little.
