Chapter 188
Cathedral of the Holy Order of Kinesien, Second Cardinal’s Office.
As soon as the wedding was over, Enrite returned to the office with Lesia and Seran.
Demon beasts still remain beyond the periphery, but the 3 great demons and 4 great disasters have been completely annihilated.
The Demon God would not be able to resurrect anymore, and the front line troops would be able to stop the Demonic Beasts.
“Is a wedding supposed to be like this?”
“Not all are the same… The method will be similar.”
“Are there too many humans?”
“It’s black and harness, so it’s a lot. You must have seen another wedding the other day?”
“ah. Ice magic sword? I’m not familiar with it, so I took a look.”
“… … .”
Enrite sighed and sat down at the table.
Considering the size of the wedding and the number of guests invited, Juter and Barchen’s wedding would be grander.
Of course, Shion and Harnette’s wedding was not relatively lacking, but it couldn’t bridge the gap between the direct royal family and the duke’s title.
“The King… Your Majesty… No, is it often that His Majesty the King officiates?”
“… It doesn’t happen often. Usually bureaucrats prevent it.”
“Did you officiate after all?”
“Heroes who have made achievements must be treated appropriately. It’s not formal for His Majesty to officiate, but it’s black and white, so I couldn’t object.”
“You might think you should?”
“There must be many bureaucrats who support the Duke of Adelaira. The Duke of Ternane also changed direction… … .”
Due to Zion and Harnet, the Duke of Adelaira gained more power than before.
The Duke of Ternane jumped on the flow through Oz, and was indirectly connected to the royal family with the Marquis of Reggierd in the middle.
Of course, the king would be keeping an eye on this composition, and the Duke of Adelaira had no choice but to act as he knew.
“Well… I think you’re right. Only the location was different, but the color and atmosphere were similar.”
“A wedding is also an event, so certain customs and policies are followed. Everyone has to prefer what they are familiar with.”
“Aren’t you the same? I could have made a little change… … .”
“All human beings are different, but there is an idea that they think and accept in common. Without such an idea, human beings cannot harmonize with each other. The wedding is also part of it.”
“… Does that mean that the kingdom of Alain is maintained because there are notions?”
“I thought I should explain more… You don’t have to.”
Enrite smiled and looked at Lesia.
I don’t doubt Lecia anymore, but I couldn’t leave her alone.
There were still many things I didn’t know, and I had doubts about the existence of humans.
I had to follow him, teach him various things, and stop him in advance so as not to cause trouble.
“But I don’t think there will be any problems in living even if you reject the notion.”
“It is either one. Live quietly, or be weeded out by fellow humans. In the end, you will be left alone.”
“Does it have to follow the will of the majority, whether they like it or not?”
“The will of the majority is not always right. But basically, it would be nice to respond. Aren’t you human too?”
“Um… Depending on your mind, you might become a little special person, right?”
“Then you have to live alone. If you don’t get help, or if you’re unlucky, you may end up being ostracized. Can you stand it?”
“If I’m with you, wouldn’t I be able to endure that much?”
“… … ?”
Enrite was taken aback and showed a puzzled expression.
Lecia still has a lot of shortcomings, but now, even if she gets away from herself, she will be able to adapt without difficulty.
In the meantime, I have built a material foundation by building a ball, but why do I want to be confident?
“It’s a bit far-fetched, but you have the ability to live without me. You can find the life you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.”
“I tried to become a human in order to meet you. You are the reason for my life.”
Saeran, who had been quietly eavesdropping, listens with strange tension.
Enrite and Lesia hadn’t gotten along since the first time they met.
Enrite lashed out without hesitation, and Lesia only responded calmly.
But at some point, they became close to each other, and they even expressed their will to be together.
“Do you mean you will go with me to the end?”
“I would like to if I could.”
“What if I refuse?”
“Shouldn’t we prepare a house a little further away and think of something else?”
“… You’re not trying to spy on me, are you?”
“Can I not even see it?”
“after… Why do you think that would be?”
“What’s not going to happen? Can’t we do something like that?”
Enrite frowned and revealed a complicated feeling.
Saeran had a lot to say, but he just thought he would have to be patient a little longer.
“Although you and I are closer than most other humans, that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to spy on me.”
“Are you just watching?”
“Think of it the other way around. How would you feel if I secretly watched you?”
“I think it will be fun.”
“… … .”
“Huh… Hmmm.”
Saeran unconsciously let out a sigh, then immediately shut his mouth.
If I had known what was wrong, I wouldn’t have said that.
Enrite also knew that fact, so he remained silent without getting angry.
“Lesia, the act of seeing someone should be short-lived, not continuous. This is also related to the idea I talked about earlier.”
“Is that notion formed between other people and other people?”
“hit.”
“We are not other people, so why should we?”
“Because I am uncomfortable.”
“Oh yeah? You say so long ago.”
Enritte fell into bewilderment, but quickly regained her sanity.
I couldn’t ask for much from someone who was learning humanity in the first place.
That’s why I had to stick with myself until the system and concept were established.
“Then what should I do? I told you not to follow me secretly.”
“… I haven’t told you to leave yet.”
“Say it like you’ll have to leave someday.”
“Whoa… You have already experienced part of my life. It may change little by little in the future. It won’t suit you, but do you still want to stay with me?”
“I can live as I am now. Occasionally eat something delicious, go for a walk… I can talk with you too.”
Enrite realized that his question was meaningless and let out a blank laugh.
From the time Lesia met her until now, she had always endured it.
Of course, there were times when I expressed my dissatisfaction, but I stepped back from the proper line and went back to my daily life.
It was through perseverance in order to gain faith in oneself.
“I will ask you one last question. Why do you want to stay with me?”
“Because he is my one and only brother.”
At the unexpected answer, Enrite showed a stiff expression.
Of course, to others, he and Lesia were known as brothers.
However, it was the first time that Lesia had emphasized the fact that they were siblings over herself.
“Just because you’re a brother doesn’t mean you have to be together.”
“I still want to be by your side. do you hate me?”
“It’s not that you don’t like it. but… … .”
Enrite pondered for a moment, but in the end she couldn’t finish her words.
The direction he and Lecia were pursuing were starkly different.
She pursues a quiet and cool life, but Lesia longs for a passionate and passable life.
They were so different that if they stayed together, they would constantly quarrel.
“Did I make a mistake? Or does it still seem like he’s hiding his identity?”
“It is not like that. Rather, I just think that you and I are not compatible in character.”
“I’ve been doing well so far, what’s the problem?”
“I can’t just ask you to be patient. Whatever you do, you’ll look uncomfortable. There is nothing good for you or me.”
“There was nothing inconvenient. There were times when I was annoyed. Still, I was happy to have you by my side… What were you like?”
Enrite meets Lesia’s eyes while being surrounded by silence.
Her purple eyes were gloomy, capturing her own image.
I wondered if Lesia’s reaction would change depending on what kind of answer she was giving.
“It didn’t start well. I always hated you, and you must have been in trouble just like you. It’s a lot better now, but I don’t know what will happen later.”
“… … .”
Lesia made a melancholy face and lowered her eyes.
Enrite, her brother, the one and only being was trying to push herself away.
I expected it to some extent, but when I faced reality, even the will to live seemed to fade.
“But… You can stay by my side if you want. You can’t send it out irresponsibly, can you?”
“… Does that mean I can do it my way?”
“Yes, I will respect your choice.”
“Huhhhhh… … .”
Lesia leans in with a hint of a smile.
Enrite feels burdened but reluctantly agrees.
“Can we get married now?”
“what?”
“… yes?”
Enrite and Seran both look at each other in surprise and suspiciously.
I’m sure he said it because he had his own thoughts, but it was a very bizarre remark.
How on earth do you have to go through to arrive at such a conclusion?
“Why? Didn’t you marry when you fell in love?”
“Why does love come out of this?”
“Well… Are we close?”
“Lesia, marriage is not an easy decision. You have to distinguish between being close and loving, and you cannot marry people of the same sex.”
“Ah, so you’re marrying people of different genders? Why are there no genders of the same gender?”
“Whoa… … .”
Enrite got up first and headed towards the work desk.
Seriously, Lesia started to worry.
No matter how much he is learning about humans, can he pour out dangerous ideas without hesitation?
“uh… Is this also an idea?”
“If it wasn’t an idea, why would I have explained it?”
“Do you have any intention of breaking away from your notions?”
“Lesia. Should I be angry or should you give up first?”
“I will give up first.”
Lesia answered instinctively and avoided Enrite’s gaze.
Sharp, cold eyes glared at him.
Apparently, it seemed to stimulate Enrite’s beliefs as well as general notions.
“I must have let go too much. I shouldn’t have been merciful… … .”
“Why… Why do you say that?”
“You have to learn all over again. Let me teach you properly.”
“Even if you don’t, you know… … .”
“Did you just think that you would do well on your own?”
“I don’t know… … .”
“That’s why I want to teach you properly. I’ve seen strange books somewhere… I’ll make sure you don’t think of that again.”
“… … .”
Lecia couldn’t even refute and broke out in a cold sweat.
It was only a short talk, but it was showing a violent reaction.
I wondered if I would have to suffer for a while.
‘Ahh… Do I have to listen to nagging all my life?’
