In the name of God (13)
From the moment half of his strength disappeared, Neftam had been roaming uneasy within his luxurious abode.
Even if he unreasonably separated himself in order to dominate Elina, trying to influence him caused the problem.
Due to Leonhardt’s trick, his memories were split in half.
Having been divided in half, he must have gone to a place beyond his power.
maybe Abyss.
It was still unknown what had become of the other half of himself that had been sucked into it.
I was still anxious because Yuan was playing tricks, but even this happened.
‘I should have done it earlier.’
There was a part that bothered me a little, and the problem was that I was late.
If I had controlled Elina without delay as ‘that man’ had told me, there would not have been such an embarrassing situation.
“… Awesome!”
Neftam, who suddenly became feverish, threw the ornament in his hand to the floor.
Clink.
It was the moment when the beautiful self broke with a sharp sound.
“yes? strength… ?”
For a moment, the feeling of getting far in my head passed by, and the energy that had disappeared was filled.
The separated half of himself was coming back.
It would have been nice if it was just that.
Neftam narrowed his eyes, feeling something unclear.
‘uh?’
Horrible memories flooded in.
Neftam put a hand on his neck.
It was a suffocating sensation, as if the head was submerged in very deep water. Cold, scary, painful.
“Huh…ぅ… ”
Complex emotions struck Neftam like a mace in an instant.
Suffering, obsession, helplessness, love, guilt.
The memories he brought with him from being split in half flashed before his eyes in an instant.
It was a trap.
“Neptam. It’s good to see you again.”
Neftam heard Leonhardt’s voice and raised his head reflexively.
A man was standing at the ornate door, looking at Neftam.
“Leon… Hart?”
His sudden appearance took Neftam’s breath away.
But, unknowingly, it was his hand.
There was a small bell in Leonhardt’s hand.
The thought of danger passed through Neftam’s head.
I had to stop him from doing it. It was at that moment when Neftam tried to move urgently.
ding-
That rational judgment disappeared with the sound of a bell.
“… Kyaaak!”
Neftam shuddered and screamed involuntarily.
Before I knew it, the strength in my legs gave out, and Neftam collapsed helplessly to the floor.
Tears welled up in Neftam’s eyes from learned fear.
‘no. no… ‘
With an untainted spirit, Neftam tried to defy that fear.
Memories she had blocked off through the gaps in her weakness began to resurface.
‘Breathe… I need to breathe… ‘
Neftam tried to force his breath out, but his tight throat refused to breathe.
A deep-seated fear paralyzed her sanity.
A hazy fog hung over her hair, which had been clear until just before.
“… mandible… ugh… ”
Leonhardt calmly watched the suffering Neftam and gave a small smile.
He slowly walked in front of Neftam.
Neftam grumbled and tried to run away from him, but it wasn’t a very effective getaway.
She couldn’t even run away from him.
In the meantime, she recalled most of her memories.
What he went through, and what devastating choices he made that changed.
Neftam closed his eyes. everything was going wrong.
“Come on. Neftam.”
He stood right in front of her and called Neftam like a puppy.
“Huh… ”
Neftam shook his head sluggishly, trying to resist the call.
If you go to his arms, you will never be able to return to your original self. I don’t know if I can be comfortable and happy.
She knew it instinctively.
But the moment he sighed in disappointment, Neftam’s body moved naturally.
It was so ingrained in me that I shouldn’t offend him.
Neftam, who was hesitant, rushed into Leonhardt’s arms. Then she rubbed her cheek against his chest and slowly blinked her tear-filled eyes.
“You don’t like the sound of bells?”
Neftam nodded several times.
The tear-stained face and the restless trembling body were pitiful.
Leonhard hugged her twice in despair and kissed her on the cheek.
“Breathe. I’m with you. It’s not scary.”
Leonhardt rubbed Neftam’s back as if he were comforting a child.
Neftam gasped for breath at the relief that came in an instant.
Strange. It shouldn’t be like this.
The memories brought by his class were more intense than any memories he had accumulated.
Some memories never forget
Especially if it is a very deep wound.
No matter how hard she tried to forget, there were countless memories engraved in her.
“me… I… how is this… Why did I become like this?”
“Again.”
Leonhardt’s voice grew cold.
Neftam was startled and shivered.
right. You can’t talk like this to Leonhard. What are you doing stupid?
“… I’m sorry. sorry.”
Neftam, who spoke hesitantly as if he wasn’t used to it, cried, and finally burst into tears.
He had come to understand what had happened to him.
“please forgive me.”
“What are you talking about. You have already forgiven.”
Leonhardt gripped Neftam’s chin tightly, forcing him to look at him.
His chin trembled, and his blue eyes, crying without rest, focused on Leonhard.
“You’re back. This one is pretty.”
He put his lips on her juicy lips.
It was only for a moment that I thought that this shouldn’t be the case.
She was bewildered by the rush of euphoria, but she had no choice but to give in to it.
I can breathe easily, and I am so happy to be with him. I was happy to receive his affection.
right.
I almost forgot
Also, you should enjoy this affection to the full before going into the water.
She felt a rush of exhaustion and quietly closed her eyes.
The resignation I had become accustomed to found.
.
.
.
The space that had been owned by Neftam a while ago was now owned by someone else.
In the room where the clean and sweet scent passed my nose, a cold scent mixed with it.
Leonhardt sat with his feet stretched out on Neftam’s elegantly decorated bed, hugging her shoulders tightly.
Leaning her little head on his chest, Neftam raised her gaze and looked up at him.
Watching his actions, waiting for him to smile at him at any moment.
Leonhard pretended not to notice her and was deep in thought.
Maybe it has something to do with you.
Neftam wiggled his hand nervously over his flat chest.
It would be nice if it wasn’t a bad thing.
“Hmm… .”
Though he was troubled, he occasionally gave Neftam light kisses on her flushed eyes, cheeks, and lips.
Every time that happened, Neftam flinched and his whole body trembled slightly at his kiss.
happy.
It was a feeling that naturally raises your head, like when you strike a bell and you can’t breathe.
Meanwhile, Leonhardt’s mouth finally opened.
“yuan… .”
When his brother’s name came up, Neftam’s squirming hands froze.
His hand caressed her cheeks, which were pale with tension.
“I have to apologize. Are you going to do it?”
oh
right. I have to apologize.
Because of being selfish, I have to go to ask for forgiveness from the girl who was hurt.
The infused guilt weighed heavily on her.
“yes. Yes. Okay.”
Neftam always nodded.
But how… ?
Neftam looked at him curiously.
The residences of the Constellations were so independent that it was difficult to trespass without permission.
That law was no different from the world’s compulsion, so only indirect communication using the Constellation Net was conducted.
“You just need a little help.”
Then he took out a small black pen.
Neftam felt a faint power within him and his breath stopped for a moment.
It was all exhausted now, but the power inherent in it must have been transcendent.
“As expected, you can feel it when it reaches the level of Neftam.”
Leonhard put a pen in her hand and said.
“If you have enough garnets, restoring your strength isn’t difficult. I didn’t even have a chin with the sacralite that Gaunis had.”
He cut off, and picked up Neftam’s protruding hair and tucked it behind his ear.
I loved the stupid face that slowly turned its eyes toward him.
So, he spoke in a low voice.
“If it is Neftam, it will be possible.”
Holy lutes were sometimes used like money, but in general, they were no different from the rewards of life accumulated by the Constellations.
Everything accumulated as a human and as a Constellation is accumulated in the form of a holy stone.
The huge holy stone was also used to raise one’s rank.
Something precious to any Constellation. It wasn’t something that could be easily handed over to others.
“no?”
Leonhardt asked, pulling her by the chin.
They were so close that their breaths could touch the bridge of their noses.
Her lips, which had a slightly stupid face, twitched.
“no. I’ll do it. Please let me do it.”
It was nothing to worry about.
From the moment I heard that, no other options existed.
Rather, her heart was filled with the fact that she could be of help to him.
to the point of suffocation. happy.
Instantly, a large quantity of sacralite in Neftam’s possession seeped into the pen.
The power of the pen that had absorbed the holy flow stone was filling up again.
More than half of the sacralite that Neftam had collected so far disappeared in an instant.
The light returned to the pen and passed back into Leonhardt’s hand.
“under.”
Leonhard let out a light laugh, feeling his dim possessiveness satisfied.
He ran an affectionate hand through Neftam’s soft hair.
“You are helpful too.”
Leonhard curled his lips and touched her lips.
She closed her eyes softly, feeling a hand gripping her neck.
I can help too.
It was Leonhard’s help. you can be loved more
Neftam felt proud and accepted his kiss. I was even more happy and full when I thought it was a reward.
“ha… .”
A sigh of unknown origin flowed out as the long kiss ended.
Neftam licked his moist lips. It was too sweet.
“Leon… Hart.”
Finally, she called his name.
It was a small voice that only he could hear in a large room.
“okay.”
Neftam’s eyes moistened at his sweet voice.
Leonhard kissed her affectionately over her eyes that were about to burst into tears.
That kindness was so precious that it actually brought tears to my eyes.
“Cry even if you treat me well. why.”
Leonhard laughed awkwardly at her tears.
“I don’t know. just… .”
Neftam answered in a sobbing voice.
I couldn’t even define what this feeling was.
I was just sad and happy. Even though I could fully feel that I was broken.
Leonhardt hugged Neftam, stroked her hair until she stopped crying, and kissed her in several places.
He didn’t care that the hem of her dress on her chest was getting wet.
As soon as her panting breaths died down, he kissed her again.
“Are you okay now?”
At Leonhard’s low voice, she shrank her head.
“yes. it’s okay. I’m sorry.”
Neftam habitually muttered an apology.
It was a beautiful voice that still lingered in tears.
“It’s a big deal because it’s become a habit. You keep saying it, it doesn’t sound like you’re serious.”
Despite the playful voice, Neftam shook his head in surprise.
“Ah, no… ! yes… ! Yes… .”
Leonhardt covered Neftam’s mouth with his lips once more before removing it.
Her lips, which had been tense for a moment, soon lost their strength and loosened.
He lightly bit her lower lip and pulled it away.
“Now then, shall we go see Yuan?”
He whispered as he looked at Neftam, who had a melted expression on his face.
Neftam moved his head helplessly like a doll that could only nod at his words.
“yes.”
Leonhardt smiled lightly at her answer.
Brother.
My heart beat fast at the thought of going to see my brother very late.
We haven’t seen each other since that terrible end.
Suddenly, it felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on my heart.
What kind of face should I look at her with? What should I say?
Anxiety rushed in like a wave, staining her mind.
“Neptam.”
But those thoughts faded away in his voice.
That was all.
