I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 157

157. Family

“I used to spend some time here when I was younger.”

Before the start of this evening’s talks. Erika and I were looking at the flower beds in the garden where the cool air flowed.

I didn’t think we should spend time with each other.

It was just that I came out into the garden by chance and Erica was looking at the flowers in the flower bed, so I just stood next to them.

“I had nothing to do. They didn’t teach me magic properly, and I didn’t expect anything from me, so I was just neglected.”

“Didn’t you learn magic from your family?”

Since the Bright family had such a high reputation in magic, I thought that the foundation of Erica’s outstanding skills naturally came from the family.

At her question, Erica gave her a wry smile.

“What I secretly learned over my shoulder must have been learned after all. Well, in fact, it might be right to assume it was stolen.”

“… ….”

“Because they were originally raised only for arranged marriages. I already have an eldest son and a second son, so she probably didn’t have to worry about me as a woman.”

She calmly unravels her bitter past. I understand the miserable feeling because I have experienced the indifference of my family.

Erica was smiling confidently as if she had already overcome everything.

Leaving the past behind, concentrating on the present and living life to the fullest was a beauty that could be compared to a flower in a flower bed.

“Thank you for coming to me like this.”

“… ….”

While looking down at the flowers without looking at me, Erica suddenly brought out her true feelings.

“No one knows how our relationship will end, but I’m glad you’re with me right now.”

The sincerity of her words is clearly felt. But the expression was not like that at all.

“But is this really the time you want?”

Erika slowly looked away from the colorful flower bed and looked at me. I was already staring at her from the beginning.

‘Again, this expression.’

I don’t know if Erica herself knows. She has overcome and overcome many things and has grown up.

She had a habit of making a unique facial expression, as if she had developed it during that time.

Overcoming or overcoming suffering.

His eyebrows are slightly gathered, but he forcibly makes a grave expression.

That was exactly the way he looked right now.

Erica again, she was overcoming something within herself.

“Is this really where you need to be?”

“… ….”

What should I answer to convince her? No matter how hard she tried, the right words couldn’t come to her mind.

I didn’t have the confidence to persuade Erica Bright, who had overcome her own greed and happiness.

“When I was little, I hated looking at these flowers. I was bored. I didn’t look at flowers because I liked them, I just looked at them because I had nothing to do.”

Erica added that she was at least worth seeing, and then said strongly.

“But Deius, I really enjoy my time with you. Even if the two of us are just looking at flowers like this.”

I didn’t know that the words still contained reprimands.

“But you are not happy.”

“Erika.”

I tried to get her attention to tell her to stop, but she casually puts her hand in mine.

“hahahaha, I guess I really love you.”

Erika spat out an absurd laugh and carefully leaned on my shoulder.

“Your happiness takes precedence over my unpleasant feelings.”

“… ….”

“It will take quite a while to go from Violen to Northwedon. Leave now.”

Because Violen was in the south of the kingdom and Northwedon was in the north. In fact, it was already too late to start now because it was the exact opposite.

Findanei must have already crossed the mountain range and arrived at the Clark Republic.

“Whoa, Erika. Finden I decided on its own.”

I respected her choice, so I didn’t bother to pursue her either.

“That was her choice, and I did her least mercy and didn’t kill her.”

I don’t know if Findenai knows about it, but I’ve already freed her soul.

Although it was a short period of time for her, it was my own mercy and gift to her who suffered enough.

It is absurd to imprison the soul of a woman who has gone off to fight for her freedom.

She will be completely free on her own.

In the Retry game, there is no mention that the workers of the Clark Republic have found freedom, but a lot has already changed from the game.

The future after that was something I couldn’t predict, and it must have been in the hands of Finden Eye.

“I don’t dare catch people who have left.”

“You said you had a plan.”

Erika didn’t back down even after saying this.

“Before you left the academy, you told me that you had a plan that wasn’t finalized yet, but was prepared. What was that?”

“No big deal.”

It wasn’t really a big deal.

“I only conveyed the news to His Majesty through the princess. Something unusual is about to happen in the Republic of Clark, so keep an eye on it.”

“… ….”

“I told Aria not to do anything and to rest in peace. Because if it were her, she might do useless things.”

“Then… Did you cheat on me?”

I tried to convince Erica by acting as if I had a plan for Finden Eye.

“Yes.”

Actually, I didn’t have any plans for her. If she hadn’t said that, she wouldn’t have been able to convince Erica to go after the Finden child.

“Deius!”

The voice raised momentarily.

Erica said as she held my hand so tightly that I felt a kind of fear.

“You are just lying with something like this…… Do it.”

Erika bit her lip. Her trembling figure with her head bowed down seemed like it would collapse if something went wrong.

“Your condition is worse than I thought.”

“Whoa, Erika.”

It was Erica who forced herself to continue her words as if she had swallowed something bitter, but I let out a sigh and called her.

“I am the same.”

At that, Erica raised her head suddenly. There was a lot in the teardrops that gently formed in her eyes.

“Can I cut in for a moment?”

At that time, Deia and Edwin, the second son of the Bright family, who had been keeping an eye on us for a while, approached us.

I thought it was a bit of an odd combination, but the moment I saw the two of them, Erica quickly let go of my hand and ran away.

“Huh? What?”

Deia, who is surprised by Erica’s sudden reaction, and Edwon, who immediately frowns.

“I’m sorry, Lord Deius. It’s been a while since my little sister has no manners. Stupid. I will educate you.”

“Don’t belittle my fiancé.”

As I unknowingly scolded him, Edwon immediately lowered his head and apologized.

“I’m sorry.”

“Hmm, Mr. Edwon? We have something to say to each other, so please step aside.”

“Yes? You just told me to follow you…….”

“Go.”

As Deia gestured with irritation, Edwon had no choice but to step back with a puzzled expression.

“Unexpectedly.”

When I implicitly asked that Edwon would come with her, Deia replies angrily.

“Originally, I was going to say it was love at first sight and say that I was going to get married, and then I was going to see your reaction… ….”

Look at me and check my reaction. She is silent, and Deia sighs as she listens to her story.

“Ehh, what do you want? It seems like your engagement isn’t going well, so he must have been aiming for me.”

Looking at me, Deia frowned.

“What’s up? What did that b*tch say to you?”

“Whoa, Erika is my fiancee. Be careful what she says.”

“What are you saying? You’re not really going to get married anyway.”

“… ….”

She didn’t hesitate to answer and kept silent. Deia glanced at her and asked again if she was uneasy about something.

“No, are you going to do it?”

“…… Okay.”

After answering like that, Deia, feeling a little relieved, let out a long breath and stretched her body.

“Well, anyway, since that woman is kind to you, I think things will go well this time…… What, exactly, brought Bright and Geronia together?”

“Among the aristocratic families loyal to the kingdom, I needed a family that I could organically handle.”

Deah shook her head saying she was bored with my words.

“Yeah, I know that. I wonder why you need a family that you can handle.”

“… ….”

Should I say Deia?

If it was Darius, I would just say that and move on, but I will definitely point out the reason behind it.

It can be said that she was reading my intentions just because she had been investigating the Bright family’s private affairs even before she came to the meeting.

Well, if it’s Deia.

It might be much better to tell you, and it’s easier to defend.

“There is a group of black magicians called Dante.”

“Dante?”

Deia looks puzzled as if she is hearing this for the first time.

“These are the ones I’ve been associated with from long ago, but this war in the Great Forest of Marias can also be attributed to them.”

“Mmm.”

Deia, who seems to have understood that this is a pretty serious matter, crosses her arms and listens to me while thinking.

“Originally, I could roughly predict their behavior, but now it’s hard to grasp. It is impossible to predict how it will come out, so we are just trying to use our strength to respond in all directions.”

“Since you are the only warlock in the kingdom that has been recognized, you must be keeping an eye on it.”

If you pretend, Deia will pretend and understand. She asked with a subtle expression, as the accident reached even the parts she did not dare to say.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to get help from the royal family? Last time I saw you, you and the princess were pretty close, right?”

“Then, at my request, the kingdom becomes a moving form.”

“…… Ah?”

“The people of the kingdom, who still have a resentment towards the warlock, will not look favorably on the royal family moving with my words.”

“Definitely.”

You can receive indirect support, but you cannot ask for help directly.

The reason I was accepted was because the relationship between the royal family and my A and E was clear from the outside.

Perhaps the bishops will use civic groups to jump in like crazy and wage a public opinion war in the same way that the memorial service is coiled around the royal family.

“Is that why you chose Bright, who is strong despite being on the periphery with the fallen Geronia?”

They have some strength, but now they’ve stepped back from the stage.

After hearing all of my story, Deia puts a smile of subtle satisfaction on her lips.

“Ummm, how nice it would be if you said it this way.”

Certainly because they are within the fence of family. She felt comfortable saying something to Deia.

The reason why he intentionally didn’t ask me about Finden Eye must be because he trusted me and was worried.

“Is it family?”

Involuntarily, I spit out a single word as if mumbling. At those words, her Deia’s eyes trembled slightly, and an awkward smile was drawn.

“Family, Izzy.”
