So now I am
Ailee woke up from her coma and sat there blankly, losing focus for a moment.
However, the light returned to the focus, and Ailee’s expression became alive as if she was gradually awakening her consciousness.
Ailee’s next reaction was to scream when she saw Leon and Feirn entering her bedroom.
“Hey! What are you doing? Why is Leon in my bedroom?”
Then he quickly pulls out the blanket and covers himself.
It wasn’t revealing clothes, but the maids wore pajamas for Ailee who was in a coma.
The nobility, and the royal family or the imperial family, are surprisingly accustomed to exposure.
He is used to the act of always showing off his boots or a maid, changing everything from underwear to outerwear, and even following him into the bathroom to serve.
Of course, the friendly servants I’ve been with since childhood and the gaze of a stranger are two different things.
Ailee’s reaction was the same.
Although Leon is not a stranger, it is said that he is shy to show off his pajamas.
But soon the focus disappeared from Ailee’s gaze for a moment.
And then he says something strange.
“what’s this······?”
Ailee staggered slightly as if she was dizzy, with her eyes still out of focus.
Leon approached her so she wouldn’t fall over and supported her on the shoulder, asking.
“Do you have any discomfort?”
“Someone is talking to me in my head…”
Leon made a serious expression.
One of the worst possibilities I had anticipated in advance.
The human mind has many unknowns.
Needless to say, if it were a soul.
However, Leon was the first to restore a human soul under external conditions.
No matter how Leon perfectly restored Ailee’s soul, something could go wrong in the process of merging the two souls.
It’s kind of like a mental illness, for example.
Hallucinations of hearing thoughts that are not theirs were one of those problems.
schizophrenia.
It was one of the most well-known schizophrenia, a mental illness caused by problems with the cranial nerves.
The soul was one of the substances made through the cranial nerves or the nervous system that extended throughout the body.
It was directly damaged, so there was no problem with Ailee’s cranial nerves, but there was a problem with her mental activity.
Treating it in an externally procured way could conversely cause a problem that puts a strain on Ailee’s cranial nerves.
“What does that voice say?”
Leon asked, but Ailee’s face immediately turned red and regained vitality.
“Hey, you can’t say that!”
“Is that so absurd?”
“It’s not necessarily like that…”
Well, it didn’t seem like it was the worst.
Leo is not a psychiatrist, so he doesn’t know the details, but he knew that in the case of auditory hallucinations caused by schizophrenia, there were many cases where the words were inconsistent.
If so, maybe…?
“Is it your sister’s very personal, so private opinion?”
“···yes.”
Leon figured out the problem.
“That’s probably the sister’s own opinion.”
Ailee’s soul restored by Leon was forcibly merged into one.
So, the spirit used to restore the soul maintains its function in the form of replacing Ailee’s soul activity.
Ailee seemed to feel her thoughts conveyed by the spirit in a way that ‘someone is talking to me’.
“But why am I here? I am definitely…”
At that moment, Ailee’s expression darkened as she recalled memories from before she fell into a coma.
“Don’t try to force yourself to remember painful memories. The Demon Lord of Destruction has already been subjugated, and Ailee noona has been rescued to such a safe place.”
“The Demon King of Destruction…?”
Ailee gave her a startled expression.
“That means Leon, you subjugated the Demon Lord of Destruction?”
“yes.”
At that, Ailee put on a sad expression.
When Leon was bewildered by the expression on his face, Ailee let go of the blanket that was tightly wrapped in her hand and hugged Leon tightly.
“Because of me, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry······.”
“yes? Why is my sister sorry for me?”
Ailee didn’t say anything to the question, but Leon was belatedly able to understand Ailee’s way of thinking.
Ailee is one of the few people who can tell that the Demon Lord of Destruction was Melit Flare Farostel.
In other words, the fact that Leon subjugated the Demon King of Destruction means that he killed his father with his own hands.
The demon lord of destruction kidnapped Ailee, obviously deserves the punishment he deserved, but Ailee felt guilty about the situation in which Leon had no choice but to kill her father with her own hands.
“You don’t have to feel guilty about it. After all, as long as he was a demon, someone had to defeat him. And if I had the power to take him down, it had to be me, and it had to be me to take him down.”
And Leon was somewhat relieved by Ailee’s reaction like that.
Ailee has recovered.
It’s because the way she’s doing now was the kind of thing that would make her say that she was Ailee.
“Is there anything else strange about it?”
“Well? what? My circle…”
Ailee took a tear and stole it, then looked down at her own chest with a surprised expression.
The six circles engraved on her heart had disappeared.
“This time it is my turn to apologize. I’m sorry, sister. My heart’s circle disappeared because of what my sister had done to them. What can I say instead…?”
When Leon activates the circle and sends a signal of a magic wave, a light ring floats over Ailee’s head.
That is the blessing Leon bestowed upon her as a newcomer.
It was a kind of passageway that connected Leon and the soul.
Ailee looked a little surprised at him, but a smile quickly appeared on her face.
“Is this, is this Leon’s feelings?”
“yes. I’m sorry while she was sleeping, but I appointed her as my saint at will.”
And Leon told the story while she slept, that is, while her soul was destroyed.
“You said you made an artificial spirit and implanted it in me?”
“I had no choice but to restore my sister’s consciousness. And the spirit dwells in the pendant. In order to maintain a normal soul in the future, you must always have that pendant on your body. really sorry. sister.”
The pendant’s impact range is approximately 10 meters.
So it doesn’t have to be worn around her neck all the time, but Leon couldn’t help but feel like she had a leash on her.
He wanted to heal her soul itself if possible, but there was no way in the knowledge allowed to Leon.
However, despite Leon’s apology, Ailee carefully wrapped the pendant with both hands with a proud expression.
“Hi-Hi. So, did I receive a present from Leon too?”
Leon could feel the emotions stabbing his heart when he saw Ailee smiling like that.
It was because Leon could clearly feel her feelings from the light wheel floating above her head.
There was obviously no pretense on her face.
Intense feelings of joy.
However, there was a fear that could never be hidden within her.
Nevertheless, she smiled brightly to hide her anxiety so that Leon would not feel guilty.
“sister······.”
“Um, with this, it will be difficult for us to lie to each other in the future. right?”
When Leon did not answer, she hugged Leon once more.
“But it doesn’t matter. I will always be honest with you. This is also my sincere feeling. I’m glad. That you did this for me, and that I can wake up to see you again. So don’t be too sad. At least I’m not sad.”
Ailee hugged Leon without saying a word until there was no more sadness in Leon’s feelings.
“Hmmm.”
And when Emperor Fairn, who was watching it all from the side, pretended to be popular, Ailee was startled and separated from Leon.
“It feels good to know that the two of you are closer than Jim had thought, but for now, let’s talk about the future.”
“What’s ahead?”
Fairne shook her head when Ailee asked a quick question as if to hide her embarrassment.
“It’s a wedding between the two of you.”
Ailee was startled by the bombshell remark, and her mouth twitched.
Well, I was engaged, so it was a decision to have a wedding someday, but now I felt it was too soon.
But Fairn had a different idea.
“We have already made an alliance by revealing our official position on the Demon Kingdom Veritas, but it seems that public sentiment is not easily restored.”
It turned out that Leon intentionally betrayed the Philo Empire and became independent in order to deceive the Demon King and to protect the Philo Empire.
However, among the people of the Philo Empire, who felt that Leon was a traitor and developed a bad feeling for him, there seemed to be some people who had a hard time controlling the flow of their emotions.
On the contrary, there were people who wanted to inflict direct harm on Veritas of the Magic Kingdom by cultivating a bad feeling.
Perhaps it is happening under the leadership of the Mato.
The Philo Empire’s magic tower was already on the verge of collapse.
The elders, who are the highest authorities in the tower, infiltrated the spies in Veritas to steal magic tricks, but these truths were only knowledge that even the mage of Veritas could easily access.
There were countless aristocrats who had a bad feeling for Leon, who spread such knowledge to anyone and twisted the dynamics of the nobles and commoners.
“At first, I thought it was necessary to expose the relationship between you and Ailee to the world and establish a stand for each other.”
However, no matter how badly they have feelings for Leon, if the princess of their home country and the king of the other country are married, even the nobles will not be able to act recklessly.
It was a story about to make sure that the relationship between the Philo Empire and the Magic Kingdom twists and turns into a war by dragging things out for nothing.
“I like it. How is your sister?”
At Leon’s answer, Ailee hesitated for a moment.
Because there were only stories that I couldn’t understand what the Demon Kingdom Veritas was and why Leon was hated by the people of the Philo Empire.
But soon she buried her face in her hands and whispered softly.
“It’s natural to be good.”
She seemed to be hiding her shy expression on her own, but her emotions were evident just by looking at her red-hot earlobes and the back of her neck.
Leon, who smiled as he looked at it, added after that.
“But before that, there is someone I want to introduce to you, is that okay?”
“Who do you want to introduce?”
“You are the most precious person in the world to me.”
At those words, Ailee’s eyes widened sharply.
“Are you the most precious person? who is that? Maybe it’s not that red girl? Maybe a blue girl?”
Red? blue?
Are you talking about Olivia and Arya?
Leon shook her head, and Ailee was snoring in excitement alone, as if she knew now.
“Then is that the maid?”
“no. It’s not like that…”
“Tell me right! Who the hell is that!”
“My mother.”
“oh······.”
A heavy silence fell in Ailee’s bedroom.
