“Dazar. I think it would be a good idea to clean up this place first. I don’t think he’ll open his mouth right now. Rather, Axion… … .”
Elston, who was guarding Axion and Vanilla, looked serious. He had cold sweat on his face.
Vanilla’s trembling voice followed suit.
“Dazar! Zion… … Zion… … !”
After completely trapping the Prime Minister in a barrier, Dazar quickly ran towards them. When I looked closer, Axion’s complexion did not look good.
The color of the child’s face changed from pale to blue, so much so that one could believe that the child was about to die. Moreover, the energy emanating from Axion was unusual.
‘Ruben’s… … Strength.’
Then suddenly, Food Duck! With a sound, a red bird appeared in the air. But Dazar was the only one who could see the bird here.
The bird flew lightly in the sky and landed on Dazar’s shoulder.
“Ohh. Is my junior trying to awaken? Thanks to you, I will be handing over this world to Ruben. “Dazar.”
“… … you. “Did you know in advance that things would turn out like this?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have the ability to prophesy. “I just believed that you would bring about the destruction of the world again.”
The red bird giggled. Dazar’s face hardened. The red bird already knew that Celia was Hee-ah. And the fact that she would disappear like this… … .
“Where did Hee-ah go? She was sucked into space. “I’m sure you know.”
“well. “That’s a question I can’t answer.”
The red bird answered and disappeared in an instant. Dazar spoke as if he was chewing his teeth.
“First, we have to go to the villa on this island. “When Ruben’s energy radiates, all other transcendents will notice Ruben’s appearance.”
“… … !”
Elston’s face became grim. He quickly picked up Vanilla and Axion in his arms and followed Dazar to the villa.
The Prime Minister, who was trapped in the barrier and unconscious, was moved to the lobby of the villa by Dazar, who tore the space apart. He did not wake up for a long time in a barrier shaped like a bar.
“Fortunately, the fever has subsided a little, but Ruben’s spirits are still the same. No, I’m getting stronger.”
Elston looked at Dazar with a serious expression. As soon as Dazar returned here, he placed a huge barrier around his villa. It was stronger than any barrier Elston had ever seen. So much so that he wondered if he had been watching him from Ruben’s tower.
Of course, he himself had doubts about what I was doing and did not give it his all.
“As you probably know as a follower of Ruben, Ruben thrives on misfortune. Soon Axion… … “He will awaken and grow into Ruben.”
Ruben grows up eating misfortune. Elston’s face darkened after hearing that story. The misfortune that Axion experienced… …
“It’s because Lady Celia disappeared.”
In fact, she may have already died. Elston said she knew Celia had suffered great harm just before she disappeared. She expressed that she was gone but when she looked around she disappeared. Dazar, who was pushing her chancellor, clearly thought she was alive.
After setting up the barrier, Dazar sat on a chair in the lobby and waited for the Prime Minister to come to his senses. His face was so sharp that it looked like it would cut me if I touched it, so I felt a bit nervous.
“Soon the transcendental ones will come here. By now, they must have sensed Ruben’s energy and are preparing to punish him. So, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“W-what is it?”
The situation was serious. Celia has disappeared with great wounds, Axion is on the verge of awakening into Ruben, and the Transcendents are about to storm here.
Elston swallowed hard.
Dazar said, frowning slightly.
“Bring everyone from Seastarger. “Viscount Evanroir is also there.”
“If you are Viscount Evanroir, do you mean Lady Celia’s brother?”
“okay. “There’s definitely something in that necklace he gave me.”
Dazar clearly remembered seeing Celia’s necklace glowing just before she disappeared.
* * *
I asked young Dazar.
“Hey, then you… … If I keep staying here, I’ll die like this… … “Isn’t that right?”
To your father.
With a question hidden inside that I couldn’t bear to add, I looked at young Dazar. Dazaar wrapped his hands around his knees and slowly nodded his head.
“I guess so? Don’t worry though. “If you say you trust Ruben, your father won’t kill you.”
Dazar’s weak voice continued. And thanks to my continued questioning, I was able to fully understand Dazar’s situation. Perhaps because he was still young, Dazar easily gave me information.
‘therefore… … Dazar’s father became a follower of Ruben, and his grandfather, the current head of the Siaster family, is unaware of that fact. His father plans to eliminate all of the Siaster family, including Dazzar… … .’
The plan is to secretly hide Dazar and attack him while the grandfather is unconscious.
‘I can’t believe something like this has to happen between family members…’ … .’
It was such a terrible story for a child to experience. Looking at Dazar squatting in shackles, I quickly composed myself.
‘I can’t leave Dazar like this.’
I couldn’t just leave him waiting for his father here. In other words, he couldn’t let his father give up his life. If he dies here… … You won’t even be able to meet your future self.
I said with a stern face.
“Dazar. I think I can help you. Would you like to leave it to me?”
“… … what?”
“You don’t want to give your head to your father like this. “Don’t you want to go back home?”
“… … .”
Golden eyes trembled. Dazar bowed his head and was silent for a while before answering in a low voice.
“I want to go back. grandfather… … I miss you. “I don’t want to die like this.”
The small, delicate voice contained moisture. I looked at Dazar and then reached out my hand to him.
“Then let’s get out of here.”
“… … how?”
“like this.”
I pulled hard on the shackles on Dazar’s ankles with both hands. Quad deuk!
Dazar’s eyes widened as he saw the shackles breaking apart like tofu being crushed.
“you… … What are you? strength… … After all, you are a transcendent?”
“I said no. “It’s just, he’s actually a bit strong.”
also. Even though it was my original body, not Celia’s, my strength was still the same. furthermore… … It seemed like no external force was acting on me.
I looked at the bars with a strange energy flowing through them, and widened the gap between them. Then the bars crackled as if electricity were flowing through them! It opened with a sound.
“… … amazing.”
I heard Dazar, who was watching what I was doing behind me, mumbling absently. Ahem. I guess I’m kind of amazing. I shrugged my shoulders and held out my hand to him in a cheerful gesture.
“Then, shall we go out? “Dazar.”
“… … .”
Dazar nodded slowly and gently held his head together. As I held his small hand, I remembered the times when I used to walk around holding hands with Dazaar.
… … Dazar said she needed me to remember who she is.
‘mama… … !’
Axion and Vanilla probably need me as well. I have to go back home quickly. As I was thinking that, I suddenly realized.
‘ah. Did I just think of it as ‘home’? … .’
Since when did you start thinking of that place as ‘home’? Clearly, I was possessed by the world in the novel. I strode out of the prison, scratching my cheek and holding Dazar’s hand.
“Well, from here on, you will be out of prison. Are you ready to go?”
“huh.”
The prison was surprisingly empty. It seemed like it was built only to confine Dazar, so only the space we were in was made of bars and the rest was just a cave.
I glanced outside the cave where the light was coming in, and then lowered my eyes towards Dazar again. He looked a little nervous.
‘What will happen when you leave the cave? … ‘You probably know.’
If Dazar returns to his grandfather, his father will not be safe. I checked briefly and found that his mother had died while giving birth to him. Then the only family left would be his grandfather.
I was a little worried and looked down at Dazar, but he bit his lip and spoke firmly. At first glance, the look of an adult flashed across his face.
A face with a firm heart and strength.
“Let’s go out.”
Dazar stretched out his foot before I could respond. As I followed him out of the cave, an open forest appeared. He looked around and looked at me. He didn’t seem scared even though it was an unfamiliar forest.
“Are you going too? To Siaster Mansion.”
“uh… … .”
Should we go together? Because then I think I’ll find a way to go back.
I nodded slowly.
The child gave strength to the hand he was holding and suddenly asked.
“What is your name?”
My Name? I was about to answer Celia right away, but stopped. What I look like now… … Isn’t that what Celia looks like?
“My name is Hee-ya. Lee Hee-ah.”
Then Dazar folded his eyes and smiled. It was the smile of a boy his age.
“okay. Heeah. I am… … It’s Dazar Siaster. “I feel like I already know.”
Thank you for saving me. He added softly.
