Chapter 932 – Doppelganger (1)
A very surprising fact.
Shiva’s father is Lee Si-heon?
The night had become stiff like a jointed doll and I couldn’t come to my senses for a long time.
‘… Is your dad the King of Mokryeong? So, uncle? I lived and slept with my sister and father… ?’
He even made a subtly flirtatious recommendation.
Of course, I had no intention of doing such a thing, and the suggestion was probably half-joking, but if I had fallen for it, a terrible family story would have been born.
The night I had just pictured the father of someone I knew in my head, I forcibly erased from my consciousness the regret I felt toward Lee Si-heon, who was limping.
You might be wondering what his own feelings have to do with anything. It has a lot to do with it.
Doesn’t it look like she’s missing her friend’s dad?
“… Then why are you on the side of the World Trees… ?”
“It’s a bit long to talk about it.”
It doesn’t seem like she’s against her father. He didn’t seem to particularly dislike it.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“… Beep, okay. Huh.”
Shiba put her hands together cutely, cleared her throat, and then honestly told her story to her bank and night.
The relationship between Lee Si-heon and Shiva, and the power he possesses.
He is temporarily collaborating with the Bank and the Tree Knights to prevent Lee Si-heon from destroying himself due to the crown and power.
“You’re blocking it… ? You lost the world tree. If you help the World Tree, what happens after you stop him? There’s no way the world tree would leave these two alone.”
On the night of being beaten by a pagan, Shiva’s plan had a ridiculous direction regardless of its feasibility.
Are you going to let them go because they are crazy?
They will rush to kill Lee Si-heon, who lost his crown, and Shiva, who is weak.
It was a flaw that even Bam, who didn’t know much about the situation, could easily figure out, and Shiba could only laugh bitterly because she had actually been planning in that direction until recently.
Even if you make a contract and discern the truth, you don’t know the future.
However, it was not an impossible plan to realize, as Shiva’s power had greater potential than anyone could have imagined.
“I plan to stop the World Tree.”
“… It’s absurd. Sister. Anyway. The opponent is the World Tree.”
It was a night when I hated the World Tree, but I couldn’t ignore its majesty.
The reason why I am standing still and struggling with hospital bills, if I were to put it in principle, was because I lacked strength. If Bam had power like Lee Si-heon, he would have turned the world upside down.
“I don’t think it’s impossible. Right? “Bank sister.”
“… What should I answer? “I came here to persuade Bam as the representative of the World Tree, so I can’t defend his angular haircut.”
It’s impossible, she didn’t say.
Bam swallowed his saliva and looked at Shiva’s clear face.
Surely… Compared to when I saw him before, his posture was much more refined, and his expression seemed much calmer and more mature.
Of course, I couldn’t erase Shiba’s unique cute and soft atmosphere. This is something I was born with and couldn’t erase.
The bank continued the story by summarizing Shiva’s capabilities in one word.
“Despite those circumstances, Lord Shiba was chosen as the hero of the World Tree.”
Even if you only know this, you can guess the power of Shiva.
How good of a sword must she be to use a woman who is hostile to her, especially Shiva, the daughter of her king, as the main force in her subjugation?
Also, one of the reasons why her world ignored Shiva’s treason even after knowing about it was because they had some expectations of her own goodness.
It’s not that they expect mercy from her.
The reason why Shiba cooperated with the Tree Knights was to save her friends and innocent people.
In other words. Until the final battle, Shiva has no choice but to be with the World Tree. It was said that as long as the members of the Tree Knights remained under the World Tree, there would be no need for Shiva to overthrow the power of the World Tree itself.
‘… In other words.’
What if all the precious people are subordinated to Lee Si-heon?
She didn’t know what Shiva would do when the switch was turned on.
Ginkgo cherishes Shiba and loves her as a colleague, but her tone has always been set since she grew up in Jaeya.
Preservation of the imperial family and opening the door to the ginkgo tree family.
In addition, recovering the continent and straightening the foundation of the Chinese Empire were the life goals set by the princess, Baekwa.
This is the reason why we cannot cooperate with kingdoms competing for the same land. The reason why the night must be bound to the power of the World Tree.
If the Tree Knights become even a little disorganized, Shiva becomes a time bomb that may explode at any moment.
When I met the World Tree of Justice before. Shiva’s expression and expression on her return were as cold as a well-forged blade.
“… I knew the story. However, I don’t think I can trust the World Tree either. The princess too… Isn’t it the same? How can you trust those dirty trees?”
“Let me make this clear, I am only acting for the sake of the imperial family. I will protect your well-being in the name of the royal family. If you’re just asking about my personal likes and dislikes, then I also don’t believe in all trees…”
Few people know more about the world tree’s terrible actions than the bank.
At one time as the center of Asia’s hegemony, at another time in the middle of a fierce battle. The Imperial Palace, which is now a strategic location for the Tree Knights, was bound to be associated with the World Tree in one way or another.
Compared to him, what Lee Si-heon did was nothing more than an angel.
In essence, evil is what happens best when there is complete power with institutions and laws in place.
It was natural that the actions of the World Tree, which was protected by all kinds of deity, became lighter than the trivial events at the bottom that were illuminated day and night.
“In a world like this, we have to think carefully and make decisions. Not just you, but Shiva too. What is at stake for you, and which force are you safest when you entrust yourself to it? Or what you are hoping for.”
Aren’t we chasing good and evil like in fairy tales?
“Considering my immediate safety, it might be better for me to follow Shiva’s words and entrust myself to the king.”
“… “Sister.”
It doesn’t matter if I lose my virginity and my body becomes dirty.
In the first place, the bank was so dirty as a pig that it was easy to even think about being hugged by a fat father.
The bank declared in response to Shiva’s worried words.
“My life is nothing but fertilizer for the imperial family.”
If I cling to Lee Si-heon, who advocates equality between wooden people and humans, by the crotch, will the imperial family be preserved?
It’s not like there is no distinction between nobles and commoners in King Mokryeong’s kingdom, so it doesn’t matter what it is, but the nobility of the imperial family is related to the ‘bloodline’ handed down from the deity of the World Tree.
Even if Lee Si-heon defends the imperial family, he has no choice but to deny its essence.
In the end, he will live as one of the many lords who enthroned him.
The family lineage and meaning have been completely erased. The word imperial family will disappear. There is no hope of saving the empire.
But…
There is a possibility if we stick to the side of the World Tree.
No matter what the Church powers and the World Tree of Justice dream, if Shiva’s plan comes true and the world is turned upside down. Reconstruction of the empire was not impossible.
Encyclopedia is an ambitious person.
Always looking high, never knowing how to be subordinated to anyone.
Even within the power of the World Tree, the royal trunk has always stood alone and nobly.
The bank, who revealed all his intentions, bowed his head and asked Bam.
“Please do me a favor. Even if it means risking my life and the name and honor of the imperial family, my body and mind. So that nothing happens to Bam and your sister…”
In the middle of the conversation, Bam felt captivated by the bank’s speech.
I couldn’t trust the World Tree, but I felt like I could trust what these two sisters said.
Compared to Lee Si-heon, who doesn’t know what to do yet, being part of the world tree means being an eight-year-old who just needs to be protected.
The atmosphere that the princess gave off, the trust she gave, and the nobility that emerged were something that Lee Si-heon could not match.
The feeling of weight and the power to weigh down the opponent… ?
I don’t know because Lee Si-heon has never shown his true colors. Right now, banks are ahead of this.
Perhaps it is because he is a man who only shows his mischievous side, but the charm of the Royal Bank is so beautiful. The night almost took my heart away without me even knowing.
“Please raise your head first. Because I knew what you and the princess said…”
If the day comes that the bank is defeated by Lee Si-heon.
That was when her body and mind were completely taken over by her man. When all possibilities disappear and being on his side is the only last resort left.
“Okay.”
I had a headache at night.
It is difficult to choose what to say as the two who can be said to be the main pillars of the World Tree approach and admit that ‘The World Tree is a tree that cannot be trusted.’
‘… I don’t think he’s a bad person.’
Although I was concerned about the man, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to trust and entrust myself to these two rather than the World Tree.
-Excited.
When your heart starts to waver. Bam’s eyes trembled as he put his hands on his knees.
“… It might be better to go in with dad.”
Shiva, who noticed her, added a few words, but honestly, he couldn’t guarantee her father’s unexpected behavior.
What Si-heon Lee wanted from Bam was something that even Shiva didn’t know, so she couldn’t say it out easily.
Even with the desperate defense, my head is still dizzy. In the end, Bam, who knew nothing, had no choice but to make a decision based on what he heard right now.
“Then…”
The lips of the night slowly opened.
“… Then. Like that.”
Accept.
I entrust myself to the World Tree.
To be precise, it would be correct to say that she was risking her life not on the World Tree, but on her friends Shiva and the princess. It was hard to believe that it was a choice made by Bam, who had a grudge against the World Tree.
– Jijijik.
Just before the night’s words, which were difficult to say, came to an end.
Bam, who still looked sick, clenched his fists without speaking.
As I was pausing to see Lee Si-heon’s face drawn over and over again, the sound of electricity coming from outside suddenly became stronger.
“… ?”
-Roaring!
Lightning pours down. The semi-basement window broke, and stagnant rainwater came down.
“Wow!”
How big is that glass window?
The miser Night screamed inside, but things went by quickly.
-Chin, chin chin chin.
Legs wearing the same shoes seen through the window.
It was so well hidden that things in the shape of humans began to surround the building.
“… Is it a kingdom?”
“Dad will move it himself. And if he came directly, there is no need to pressure him.”
Shiva and Ginkgo got up from their seats. If not the kingdom, then who is it? Flower?
“It won’t be a church. Since I threatened to personally persuade them, I probably wouldn’t do something coercive like this.”
“… Then flower?”
Weird. Flower also showed no movement to clean up her ears.
If we narrow down the possibilities, it is at least a kingdom… Otherwise, the World Tree dug a trap to eliminate Ginkgo and Bam at once.
‘No.’
The bank quickly denied that possibility.
What does the act of pretending to be Shiva now mean to the World Tree?
Then what on earth is that force?
A situation where questions abound and no answer is given.
-Boom!
The semi-basement wall collapses. Gunmen dressed in black robes surrounded the building, and a petite woman standing in the center took off her hood and rushed towards the three.
– Whilick!
A girl whose rain-soaked hood comes off, revealing light green hair.
It rushed toward Shiva, scattering blue magic.
“… Lord Shiva!”
Fast. And the purity of the concentrated magical power is unusual.
It even surpassed Shiva’s reaction speed for a moment!
“Wha!?”
Shiba, whose reaction was one beat late, narrowly avoided being hit and fell to the bed.
The mattress gave way and her springs popped out, and Shiba, buried in her cotton, looked at the girl with her hood removed with a surprised look on her face.
“… “What are you?”
She is a girl with a face that looks just like her.
The girl with bright red eyes and green hair was glaring at Shiva with a mischievous smile.
