Chapter 22 – Why Alexandre Natalia Is Committed
“But after learning necromancy and becoming able to handle it, all I knew was that there was no magic that could bring the dead back to life. Reviving them with necromancy is a soulless monster wearing a human mask.”
It’s a natural story. No one can bring the dead back to life. As long as he doesn’t escape by hitting the back of the head like I did.
“In my family, I grew up listening to my father and older brother screaming at me for killing my mother, so I didn’t want to be in the house. Then one day I heard something about a magic school. I thought it was better. Because if they hated me at home, I could just leave the house. So I entered the magic school as the youngest. Luckily, I was the senior.”
Natalya was said to have been lucky, but considering her circumstances, it was easy to guess how many bloody tears she must have shed before she bore the fruit of being the youngest chief. Besides, she must have been admitted with a lot of attention.
“You must have been very interested.”
“It wasn’t good interest. People who entered school with me were jealous of me, and teachers were jealous of my talent.”
It is a common story that incompetent people are born jealous of outstanding people.
“I ignored it at first. It was nothing compared to the blatant hatred I was receiving at home. I didn’t care about the people around me, but the people around me seemed different.”
To those with insignificant abilities, Natalia was a dazzling sun. She covered her eyes so she wouldn’t see the sun.
“At first, I ignored it because I acted like I was invisible. It didn’t hurt me, so it was rather comfortable.”
But if you stay still, you’ll see it as a dick and harass it. That’s what human nature is. Her bullying would have turned outright if Natalya didn’t even care if her selves ignored her.
“Later, he started swearing behind me. She was also said to be a pervert who killed her mother. But she ignored it anyway. There were too many of them to deal with individually, and they were lukewarm compared to the hostility my family showed me.”
Shouldn’t have been ignored Even though it was bothersome, he should have grabbed a baby and dropped the dog. However, Natalia’s personality is not that harsh.
“I was at a loss when I realized that their hostility had turned blatantly into malice. And at the heart of those who oppose me is Arpagon Kessie. The man was there.”
“Is that bastard the main culprit of harassing Natalia?”
It was the name I heard from Roin yesterday. Did they say he was the son of Lord Arpagon?
“Yes. I couldn’t stand it, so I went to the man and asked him. Why are you torturing me?”
“So?”
“Because of me, he said he got runner-up, he said he was in a bad mood and his pride was hurt.”
“Just because of that? So what did you do?”
“I couldn’t do anything. There was not a single person at that school who sided with me, and they were all older than me. He was more experienced than me. In the end, until I graduated, I had to endure the ill will of the school people. I didn’t do anything wrong…”
Natalya’s voice was slightly damp.
“When I returned home after graduation, my heart was weak from exhaustion, so I expected a warm word from my family. It’s not my fault that her mother died, I haven’t seen her in a long time. I wonder if the malice towards me has subsided a little.”
If, at that time, she treated Natalya warmly at home, she would have no reason for Natalya to be here now.
“Father, the man was drunk. When he saw me as an adult, he said that I look exactly like my mother who passed away. He looked at me with dirty eyes. I realized then. That I have no place to be.”
I arrived at the cave where I first had a relationship with Natalya. Natalya had skeletons guard her entrance and went inside. I followed her and listened to her story.
“From that day on, I left home and wandered the world. Then I heard rumors about Kesiya.”
“What rumors?”
“There was a rumor that they were getting married. So, I came to Arpagon Manor and saw him getting married. He looked happy. It made me sick to my stomach to see him so happy after having toiled and made me suffer so much.”
Deep inside the cave, there were a lot of skeletons lined up. At Natalya’s beckoning, the skeletons opened the way and reached the end easily. In the plaza inside the cave, a sphere made of elongated bones was pounding ominously while trapping a black light.
“So I thought of revenge. I wanted to see his face contorted with pain as he stained this estate with death. Fortunately, the Earl of Arpagon is bordered by monsters everywhere, except for the east, and the corpses of monsters become materials to become undead. So I used this spell.”
“This?”
“It is a forbidden magic that dyes the mana of the surrounding area with the energy of death and turns it into a land where the undead are easily born. Of course, if a high-level wizard comes nearby, he can detect this sign, so I used a potion to erase the traces of magic.”
A drug that erases traces of magical power. This is the medicine that Natalia applied to my robe the other day. I thought it was left over, but did I write it here?
“After preparing this magic, I called out the number of undead while living in a cave. Then a star fell in this forest.”
I showed up while Natalia was preparing her revenge.
“When I first saw Hanseong, my heart was pounding. The one who reaps death appeared in front of me as I was preparing for my revenge. I literally felt like God was helping.”
“But you’re disappointed to hear that you don’t have memories?”
“⋯⋯. No. I wasn’t too disappointed.”
Natalya shook his head a little heavily and continued his words.
“I thought I would be punished, but I thought it turned out well. I thought that if I dedicated myself to helping Hanseong find his memories and regain his power, he would help me avenge myself. That’s why I helped Hansung. Am I really that bad?”
“Why?”
“That’s right, because I was trying to use Hansung.”
If that’s a bad thing, I deserve to be torn from my limbs to death, not the level of having my head split by King Yeomra.
“Me, I… Sniff I tried to use Hanseong-nim, who had no memory, but he only gave me warm words. Saying thank you, saying you’re happy, saying that you like it. Why was everyone always born to me? But, Hansung is glad I’m here, huh. Always on my side! It’s the first time I’ve heard of each one, so it’s a warm word! You were disappointed in me, right?”
Natalya shook her shoulders, clutching the hem of her robe.
Arsenic flowed out.
Natalya is an arsenal to myself for judging that the situation is working in my favor even though I have revealed all of her inner thoughts and unfortunate past.
I know it’s not normal, but I can’t help it.
‘Cause I’ve been living like that I have lived by beating and stealing from others.
He is an outrageous villain and has no intention of changing his way of life.
Take it before you get hit and take everything you can.
That’s all.
“No, Natalie, you are a good boy.”
“Sniff…”
He put his hand on Natalia’s shoulder from behind.
“In the end, you couldn’t overcome your conscience and told me honestly. You told me everything So don’t think that I’ll be disappointed in you.”
Quietly whispered in my ear.
“If you want, I will help you avenge yourself.”
Come on, Natalie. It’s only now to get out of my grasp.
“Really?”
“Then~. However, there are conditions.”
“⋯⋯.”
These are the devil’s whispers Though it would be better not to listen, Natalya was silent.
“Dedicate your whole body and mind to Me. Then,”
“⋯⋯.”
Natalia swallowed quietly. Waiting for the back story.
And I know what she wants.
“Then I’m on your side forever. Forever.”
My voice echoed quietly in the cave. Those words, repeated silently, are a deep swamp from which there is no escape.
“I, Alexander Natalia. I swear to devote my body and mind to Hanseong.”
Natalia is in a deep pit.
He gently hugged Natalya by the neck, like a snake constricting its prey.
“Huh. I got your oath for sure I am by your side forever, and you are mine forever.”
“Ah… Ah…”
Natalya’s tears dripped into my hands around Natalya’s neck.
He cupped Natalya’s chin with his hand and gently turned his head away.
Natalya looked at me with wet, wet eyes.
Red lips are alluring. Kissed her softly. Putting her tongue in his mouth, Natalia began sucking carefully.
No one reached out to the genius wizard who was a loner from birth.
If anyone had just reached out a little, the competent and obedient Natalya would not have been mine.
As expected, there are many hogu in this world.
