Chapter 36 – {The Hidden Conspiracy and the Way of Salvation}
{The hidden conspiracy and the way of salvation}
The tragedy of Lawton Bendision.
This tragedy was a shocking truth for Aria Riverin that changed her world as she saw it.
‘It was a shock as if the world was collapsing for Aria Riverin.’
As the princess of Riverin Kingdom and her next queen, she held her pride and honor in her heart as the royal family of Riverin Kingdom.
For her, the tragedy of the Ben Dishion family caused by her maternal grandmother, Aegina, was so shocking.
It was no consolation that if Lawton Bendision hadn’t become a villain, she would have rewarded him massively at the kingdom level.
To him who had already lost everything, the enormous reward would have meant nothing.
And in the process of becoming a villain and annihilating the Duke of Lestan, the family of Queen Laura, his very existence was concealed.
Although the name is unknown, there was a tragedy in which the queen and her family were massacred due to the atrocities of the villain who had already died.
The Queen’s mother, Aijina, was a Magical Awakener in the Kingdom of Riverin, and had chosen to save countless people. However, in the process, victims came out, and her family was avenged as the perpetrators.
Also, due to her grandmother’s sins, the blade of revenge is also directed at herself.
‘It must be a difficult story to endure.’
From Arya Riverin’s point of view, Lawton Bendision was the enemy who killed her mother and annihilated her mother’s family.
But at the same time, he was also a victim of losing everything by his grandmother.
At least that’s what she knew from her original story.
But what about the truth?
‘The moment Arya learns the level of truth she knew in the original story through Lawton… ‘
I would solve the truth only I knew.
In the original work, Seo Mun-hyeon fought with the argument that “Even if the circumstances are pitiful, what you did cannot be forgiven and I will condemn you.”
However, Lawton Bendision has been a long-time villain, so no matter how talented Seo Moon-hyun is, he can’t stand it and is defeated. In the end, Arya Riverin is captured and put to death on a hidden altar near the academy.
However, in the process, when Arya Riverin’s soul was offered as a sacrifice, Lawton Bendision was betrayed by the Aethernum Somnium organization and was in a situation where they would be sacrificed together.
Once her revenge on Aria Riverin was over, he would no longer cooperate with the Aethernum Somnium organization, so he had already served his purpose anyway, so it was decided to get rid of him.
Arya Riverin knew that.
‘And the readers learned the truth.’
The truth about Lawton Bendision, Aria Riverin, did not know until the end.
Seo Moon-hyun, who came to the scene late, also did not know the truth.
I just watched Lawton Bendision scream and die miserably.
Since he did not know the identity of Lawton Bendision, it remained as a scarred sight to Arya Riverin.
‘In the original work, Seo Moon-hyeon showed anger at the miserable end of Lawton Bendision and cut down the members of the Aethernum Somnium… ‘
I didn’t think it was sincere.
If it was Seo Mun-hyeon that I saw, he was just directing such a heroic image of himself in anger.
He thought of himself as a flawless hero, and for his sake, Seo Mun-hyeon, who did not hesitate to indoctrinate himself, would believe that he was truly angry with himself.
‘Aria Riverin was driven into a corner in the original work, so she couldn’t grasp the essence of Seo Moon-hyeon, who saved herself and pretended to be righteous.’
That’s why he became a heroine who actively wooed her despite her status as a princess.
But that wouldn’t happen anymore.
It was my job to save Aria Riverin, and unlike what Seo Moon-hyun did, I would do a more reliable salvation.

The afternoon class was a process of repeating theory and practice.
However, since it was the first day, most of the practice consisted of competing against specific monsters through virtual reality.
However, this was the first day, so it was over like this, but from tomorrow the classes will gradually change.
‘There’s a sparring class.’
As 1,000 new students are taught in Dalian, most of the first day of class was practiced in virtual reality to prevent incidents and to check in advance which freshmen are most likely to have an accident.
“Cheon! Are you going to have dinner together tonight?”
After finishing class today, Ye Eun-chae approached me and asked me to go back to the dorm first.
She seemed to want to eat with me, like at lunch.
“I think that’s going to be difficult. I’m going to have dinner with Minhye tonight.”
“Ah! If so, will I be a nuisance if I go?”
Ye Eun-chae regrets that she can’t have dinner with me and she was hoping that maybe she could join her. However, at the same time, he showed a cautious attitude, fearing that this proposal might be a nuisance to me.
I felt like I would naturally laugh at the appearance of a puppy worried about disappointing its owner.
“No, it won’t be a nuisance. It would be okay to introduce my friends to Minhye at the same time. I’ll text Minhye for a while.”
“Oh! Got it!”
Ye Eun-chae quickly answered with liveliness, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t been able to make friends with her, but she was 21 years old and had an incredibly naive side, but when she combined with her beauty, this was also felt as her unique charm and looked lovely.
‘Now then.’
I took out my phone and immediately texted Minhye Seo.
– My brother will take his friends for dinner. Let’s eat out together.
– Yeah, fine.
Since I found accommodation outside the academy, I didn’t have to get permission to go out after classes ended, as I was not part of a dormitory.
However, Ye Eun-chae, Yoo Hyeon-ah, and Aria Riverin, who belonged to the dormitory, had to separately obtain permission to go out.
“Minhye’s reply came. She says it’s good.”
“Ohhh! I see!”
When Ye Eun-chae replied that she liked the preface, Min-hye, she was visibly delighted.
“I’m going to go and bring Hyuna and Aria too! I’ll get a permit to go out quickly!”
“Isn’t it a little early for dinner?”
“Ah! Is that so?”
“Okay. So let’s meet in front of Door A around 6pm. How is it?”
At the academy’s gate A to meet at 6 p.M., Ye Eun-chae smiled and nodded her head.
“I will! Then let’s see you at 6 o’clock!”
“Yes.”
After saying goodbye to Ye Eun-chae for a while, I headed to my dorm first.
Upon entering my dorm, I immediately sat down on the bed and closed my eyes for a moment while leaning my back against the wall.
‘I don’t feel any fatigue at all.’
If I had been in a state before gaining power through synchronization, even at the age of 15, just before gaining the ability, if I had grown up intact, I would have felt tired just doing classes.
However, for me now, the concept of fatigue itself would have been difficult to come by easily.
And with this overwhelming power, as planned, he entered the academy, the first stage of the original work, and finished his first class.
‘Relationships with Seo Moon Min-hye, Aria Riverin, Ye Eun-chae, and Yoo Hyun-ah are going well, and Isena is also working.’
The preparations for dropping Seo Mun-hyeon were getting stronger.
But I was feeling annoyed.
‘It’s bothering me for no reason.’
If it was a time when there was no strength, it would have been enough to just say it was a pity and pass it over.
However, since I gained strength, I couldn’t get rid of the thought that it seemed that I was getting more and more distant.
There is power, so let’s help a little bit.
What started out with this idea turned out to be bigger than I thought.
Since I had a lot of money, I could say that the investment that raised the welfare of the academy with my spare money was for my convenience because it was a place I would go to.
But other than that, rescuing or supporting countless orphanages in this world or people who would be harmed by villains with the power of the Yoochun Group was purely hypocrisy and simple self-satisfaction in a way.
There is a saying that hypocrisy in action is better, but I myself thought that there was no pure sense of justice.
‘I don’t have the same sense of justice as Ye Eun-chae.’
Still, there was a weak conscience.
That’s why I got strength, so I helped a lot of people.
Orphanages, which are easily targeted by villains, were famous for being especially dangerous, and it was said that around 70% of people worldwide survive and grow up in orphanages.
In other words, it meant that up to 30% of children would die or go missing.
It was easy to deal with orphans who had no connections, unlike ordinary people who could easily incur resentment and resentment.
And since I gained strength, the number of missing or dying children in orphanages has plummeted.
In addition to the support of the Yuchun Group, it was the effect of having the Magic Awakeners belonging to the Yuchun Group constantly patrol the orphanages.
In this way, purely for my own self-satisfaction, I am living.
‘I’ll have to get rid of the awkward scenes from the original and give Arya a proper salvation.’
In her original story, Aria Riverin never knew the truth, so she always lived with a deep wound in her heart.
But the wound would be gone.
Because I will make it
