Chapter 211 – Liana Lumenhark (1)
[…I was partnered with Liana.]
When you think of a partner, some people think of a sexual partner first, but…
Partner here doesn’t mean that, but it means that I am the most trustworthy person like Lucia now.
To believe that I trust Liana Lumenhark and no one else.
It was so unbelievable that it made me laugh out loud.
However, in the world of my dreams, I trusted Liana deeply and undeniably.
‘…Every family was twisted because of it.’
She leaned against the back of her chair and looked up at her ceiling.
Until now, I thought that the reason why ‘Resurrected Corruption’ had my appearance in the first playthrough was because of the leftovers from playing ‘Teacher Aka’.
But…
The fact that I partnered up with Liana made my hypotheses crap.
To be sure, when I was playing ‘Teacher Aka’, I was killed every time I met Liana.
After being killed several times, I tried many ways to avoid her death her, but it did n’t work.
On the contrary, there were even times when he was found out for his futile tricks his and was killed more quickly than usual.
A relationship that makes it difficult to even talk properly, let alone become partners.
That was me and Liana.
‘With one exception, it was all like that…’
But only once.
There was a time when he survived confronting Liana head-on and even won her favor her.
…Right now.
Only in this world, Liana showed me kindness.
I don’t think my actions are the cause.
Right after my reincarnation, my behavior did not change much from that of ‘Eugene Calliope’ during my ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’ days.
At that time, I was afraid of the butterfly effect, and I thought that I had a high chance of survival by following the affair as much as possible.
However, even though my behavior did not change from the days of ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’, Riana’s reaction was completely different.
If I had approached Liana without fear…
To the point where I think our relationship might have changed quite a bit.
‘…All assumptions only happen when Riana doesn’t hostile to me.’
Then, what is the biggest difference between ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’ and ‘This World’?
Surprisingly, the answer is simple.
That I was reincarnated into this world.
The condition that Liana does not oppose ‘Eugene Calliope’ is that ‘I’ is reincarnated as Eugene Calliope.
‘…Then what on earth is the world that Liana and I are partners in?’
The more you think about it, the more complicated your head becomes.
It’s like wandering through a labyrinth with no exit.
All the hypotheses that come to mind seem far-fetched, but I couldn’t explain the situation otherwise.
I let out a long sigh and gave up concluding.
‘… The important thing now is not how I became a partner with Liana.’
What matters is what choices I make in the future.
So far, I’ve been thinking of delaying Liana’s plans for her and ending her civil war with minimal damage.
Because Riana took it for granted that she was evil, and she didn’t even think to doubt it.
‘If it wasn’t for the scene I saw in my dream, I’d still be thinking that…’
But now that I have confirmed all the truth, I just couldn’t do that.
I lowered my head and looked down at my palms.
The white palms overlapped with the bloody hands.
─Fufufu…Now…Yujin…Will…Never…Forget me…♪
The words I heard when I stabbed her heart in a deal with Liana.
Her will her did n’t disappear even when the world changed, and it was deeply embedded in me.
To me in the dream world, Liana’s death had a great meaning.
If I hadn’t had a dream, I wouldn’t have had to worry about it.
I thought about that for a while, but it’s a stupid idea.
If the ‘me’ I saw in the dream world was the real ‘me’, I would have tried to tell this story somehow.
Even if he handed over his body her to the ‘Resurrected Corruption’.
‘…That’s absurd.’
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
In the end, I couldn’t believe that everything happened because I chose it.
‘…I pretended to be proud, saying that he was a deceased person, but I didn’t know anything about it.’
He thought that Liana’s betrayal of humanity and the civil war was just entertainment.
Because the princess is such a character.
I came to a simple conclusion and didn’t worry about why I made that choice.
But what about the reality?
Liana did not betray the Empire.
Rather, she took on the stigma of being a traitor and achieved the unity of the Empire through her death.
‘…For the past hundreds of years, the Lumenhark Empire has been overly peaceful.’
Because few countries could be called enemies of the Empire.
At most, there would be a demi-human nation and the Aslan Empire, but the king of the demi-humans didn’t move, and the Aslan Empire was close enough to be called a brother country.
It was good that the peaceful times continued, but…
As stagnant water rots away, even though there are no external enemies, the darkness inside the empire gradually grows in power without revealing itself.
It was the civil war caused by Liana that made them come out from hiding in the dark.
Even they, who would have noticed and remained silent if it was a civil war waged by other nobles, would have thought that an opportunity like this would be hard to come again since Liana, who had her royal blood her, rebelled against her empire her.
The reactionary forces that had spread throughout the empire gathered under Liana, and when their power peaked.
… Liana chose her death her.
‘Now that I think about it, I should have doubted…’
After Liana’s death her, everything went suspiciously well.
Her forces her, who lost her excellent head as the princess, fell into chaos, and the imperial family did not miss the opportunity.
The reactionary force, which had disappeared as a protective shield of darkness, was overpowered at once, and as a result, the empire temporarily became one and gained the strength to confront the final boss.
“…This is the story of the world of Akazo teacher.”
In addition, I gained enormous support from the soldiers because I directly dealt with Liana in the dream world, and through this, she rose to the position of commander-in-chief.
The road to the final boss was opened at once with Liana’s death in her.
‘The princess’s behavior now is almost identical to that of the dream world.’
Except I’m not her partner her, Liana’s behavior her now is the same as in her dream her.
She does not have to force herself into a confrontation with Riana, and if Riana is left alone until she commits suicide, she will naturally get a chance to fight her final boss her.
If you hadn’t seen the dream world.
Even if I had known the truth, I might have turned a blind eye to Liana’s death in her.
If Liana wishes her death her, and wants her to use it to her best advantage her, I have no right to stop it.
However.
The day before my heart was pierced.
One word Liana spat while looking up at the night sky made me unable to do that.
─But I still don’t want to die.
Although she immediately added that it was a joke, Liana’s words about her not wanting to die were sincere.
… Even though Liana didn’t want her dead, she ended up committing her own suicide.
As if it had no choice but to be.
Liana Lumen Hark is not a human being who would choose her death through her intimidation or coercion.
Still, the fact that Riana committed her suicide is that there must have been a reason.
‘…The problem is, I can’t think of the reason.’
Feeling frustrated, I bit my lip.
The reason I chose Liana as my partner in the dream world was because I heard the reason.
Because of that, I sympathized with Liana, and I felt sorry for her.
…. She tried not to love.
I could tell intuitively.
The key to all of this lies in this reason.
‘…Should I ask Riana directly?’
He thought about that for a moment, but then he shook his head.
Don’t get confused.
This is not a dream world.
It’s true that Liana has a crush on me, but we don’t bond as much as in the dream world.
When I suddenly asked her about her deepest secret of her, Liana’s reaction of her was unpredictable.
I got up and went to the window and looked up at the night sky.
Which one is right?
In the dream world, I believed that Liana’s plan was right and she lived as her partner her.
As a result, I have seen countless innocent people lose their lives in the civil war.
I know.
Obviously this is wrong.
However, the empire will not unite as one unless there is a civil war.
Ahead of the great war, individuals will check each other only for their own interests, and the darkness will start its activities without missing a chance.
‘…If so.’
I lose even the chance to fight against the final boss, and the world eventually faces a bad ending.
Had to choose
I know a lot of people will die and get hurt, but will you let Liana commit suicide to get a chance to fight the final boss?
Or, even if the unification of the empire fails, will you stop Liana?
Liana’s life her and the future of this world were in my hands.
