Chapter 536 – 535. Love and Peace (15)
To be honest, Carcia didn’t think she was very happy about this opportunity. What Clark said right after having sex.
[Carnetia], Talk to your aunt.
Talk to your aunt.
It’s not that I’ve never thought about it, but it means saying all the things you’ve always had in your mind.
-Be sure to tell the story.
-Whether you like it or not, you have to face it and talk about it anyway.
-… At least I thought I spent a lot of time with my father without any regrets, but when I think about it now, I still have a lot of regrets.
-You’re the only family you have now, right?
There is only one family.
I didn’t agree with that.
-… Now, you are my family too, Clark.
-…Oh, really. I want to hug you more now. I can’t do this because I’m running out of time.
Clark, who had been acting as if he was going to hug her at any moment, appears to have regained his appetite for a moment and is holding back. Of course, the big picture he is drawing. And, seeing as he just asked to talk to Carnetia, his aunt, he didn’t talk about anything else.
As a bonus, I told Elaim to make a double for him.
-Make a stand-in with Elaim.
-Why?
-Whether you like it or not, if they go to you, they will show their naked faces. Perhaps, truths that we did not want to see may be mixed in.
-… Show it to me too.
-Why.
-Because these are things I will eventually have to face.
-Even if you face them, even if you realize that their actions were fake, it doesn’t change the fact that they ultimately plotted against the queen and had the will to rebel.
And Clark took a deep breath and said.
-… You want to see that ugly thing?
-I don’t want to look away just because I don’t want to see it. I just want to face it clearly and get it over with. If they think they don’t need me, there’ll be no reason for me to be here anymore.
-These are things you don’t need to dig up.
-These are things you have to face. I just take it from you, I’m not a spoiled girl, and I don’t want to be. Elizabeth Pantalone, she would have been like that too. So… I’ll face it too. Even if I finish it, I will finish it with my own hands.
For a moment, Clark remains silent as he looks at himself. And as if respecting that decision, he nodded to himself.
-I will respect that courageous decision. But, sometimes there are truths you don’t really want to know.
-… I have to shoulder that too. I made this choice.
-… I see. Then, after everything is over, I will come to you once again.
With those words, he left.
For the fight that continues far away.
-You don’t need me to help you?
-Protect yourself. And, the family next to me. That’s all.
-… Then, what about you?
-… Am I really alone?
I can feel his clothes wriggling. And, the huge flow diagram around it.
And, only then did I realize that he was not human and that he had escaped from being human.
-Don’t worry. They will be hit with an unexpected counterattack and completely destroyed.
I made such a boast, but I wonder what it will be like.
And now, like this, I am facing Carnetia in a room with just the two of us.
To be honest.
Not a very good story came out. That’s right, he is who he is, who has not been recognized anywhere. As soon as she came under Arsia’s command, she left the country without hesitation, taking the dark elves with her, and of course beat her up as well.
I can guess the reason.
Perhaps Arcia had been thinking of destroying herself ever since she took over the throne, and after Carnetia realized this, she rebelled without hesitation, and in order to save her life, she gave Arcia a blow without hesitation, and even Carcia, who was fighting with all her might, was killed. They subdued him and seriously injured him.
Arcia didn’t kill her because it would have a huge impact on her own image if she had fought to protect her queen.
Thinking about it now, I could infer that.
However, apart from that-
Sereung-
“I think we should talk about this with you. What do you think, Auntie?”
“… If that’s what you want. Well, let’s take a look at your skills again. I’ll tell you how much you’ve grown.”
A long sword and two scimitars swing at each other.
Following Clark’s advice, he said to change from a rapier to a long sword.
Although I was familiar with the rapier, I could stab and cut, and if I attacked with both hands like now, I could also use the long sword to block.
Kaaaaang!! Kaang!!!
Since I had already experienced how to react to an incredibly fierce attack through sparring with Clark, the speed was not surprising. However, the fact that the attacking Carnetia seemed to be having a hard time seemed to be due to changes in its own body.
Above all, after interacting with Clark, he was able to find out that part of his body had turned into a [Spirit] According to the characteristics of his body.
Is that why?
It seems like Elaim is pampering her even more.
That’s because her spirit characteristics also had those of a water spirit.
And, perhaps because he inherited her characteristics and inherited her magical power, his strength became stronger-
Kaaaaang!!!
It has become faster.
“… I got beaten up by you because of this before, right?”
He blocks the hidden blade hidden in his boots and deflects it with his pommel, and blocks all martial arts attacks with his elbow.
“… Your skills have improved considerably, Carcia.”
“Yes, his side must be a dangerous battlefield.”
“… Stop it, you can’t keep up there.”
“It’s not for you to judge.”
“You, before and now!”
“Whether it was before or now, you are the same as me and don’t care about my circumstances. Right? What kind of fights I fought and what kind of thoughts I had as I stood here. Have you ever cared?”
“… I was entrusted with your safety by your sisters. And also by your damn father!!”
Kaaaaang!!!
This time it’s scary. The anger felt from Carnetia’s sword. Anger at his father for taking his sister and causing her death. Perhaps because of that, he openly showed his anger towards Alois, and although he was the best warrior among the dark elves who lived as slaves, despite this, the high elves could kill him at any time if they wanted.
However, Alois did not kill Carnetia, he just hugged his younger self and said he was sorry, sorry.
For the future of the elves, for their [Survival], They needed me.
“That’s right. I was a child created by my father out of necessity. There was nothing like his love, and he raised me simply for the survival of my people, my fellow countrymen…!!!”
That’s why there was no love.
The woman he loved, the woman he kept by his side, but who nonetheless could not even attempt to see her heir. She loved that woman, but what she couldn’t raise with love was that she was so crazy about the elf society, and she had to blow up this whole society one day.
And, a [Being] Was needed to start from the ashes again and save the compatriots.
That was who she was, and now, here she was, albeit unsteadily, leading them as their queen.
Everything from the kingship that a royal should have, as well as the ruling ideology and governance method.
However, now, it was a situation where the damn elves were openly raising their heads, with people sarcastically pretending to be high elves when they were not even high elves, or blatantly treating themselves as bastards.
It is said that his skills in hand-to-hand combat have improved greatly, but Carnetia is, of course, a warrior who has lived for over hundreds of years.
Naturally, it would be crazy for even her to turn on Elizabeth, her elf slayer. Not only the swordsmanship, but also the weight of the sword, and the total amount of the person’s combat sense and magical energy itself are completely different, so it is combined with the four beats of the sword, magical energy, martial arts, and combat sense.
That’s right, she is at a level that can never be ignored, and is at a level that cannot be surpassed, that is, she is capable of cutting off anyone’s head, unless she is someone like Elizabeth.
Or, he can’t use his power against beings who don’t suffer much damage even if their throats are cut, but most of them are completely helpless against such beings. How many beings aren’t like that?
It was good anyway.
Now it’s just-
She wanted to vent her anger on this woman.
“The only real family to me… Was you.”
Kaaaaang!!
“And then you stabbed me, smashed me to pieces, and walked away laughing!”
“… You probably didn’t know how dangerous you were back then.”
Carnetia also knew why Carcia was so angry. She didn’t have a chance to explain, and she thought it was too shameless and too late to explain now.
“Yes, that’s right. Arcia, who thought my usefulness had run out, would have tried to kill me then!!”
“You know that, but you don’t understand!!!”
Kaaaaang!!
Once again, Carnetia’s two scimitars flew in, he threw one of them, moved to that location, and rapidly attacked towards himself, catching the thrown scimitar back and striking again. A feat that only she can do.
And with that, Karcia creates a blade of water to block the scimitar being swung towards her, and she is torn in half.
The blade of hydraulic pressure.
The high pressure of the water cuts off the scimitar’s blade, but Carnetia quickly takes out another scimitar and fights back.
“I understand. I understand. But… There really wasn’t time to explain?”
The heart of a broken child. And, the feeling of being abandoned by her family. At one point she was madly hateful just for that, but why didn’t she kill herself and why didn’t she even explain why she didn’t kill her.
And turn away, ignore.
Even after more than a century, Carnetia was the only Elvenguard family.
He was my only blood relative, and there is no one else around me anymore.
And Carnetia was in trouble differently.
That’s right, I thought it was just a simple conversation, but I never thought we would have a conversation between the body and the sword… I didn’t. I thought I was definitely going to get screwed, and I thought I was going to get screwed with Carcia, but sure enough, I was really screwed.
Her anger that had been building up for a long time was enormous, and there was a lot of pressure for her to deal with it, and her hands were sore.
Now Carnetia knew why Clark put her here.
It means facing directly the resentment that has accumulated over a century.
Fuck you.
Of course, it’s something that has to be dealt with and faced at some point – but I can’t believe I’m facing it here.
From her point of view, she thought Clark was a real asshole for putting her here.
Really, I wish I could at least slap you in the face later. Really.
