Chapter 111
I Don't Want to Give Up
It was when Eremvalt was in the midst of moving toward the Rosnova Family.
Inside the carriage, he thought to himself.
'Yeah, this is enough.'
That the choice of that declaration of severance was right.
They were days when he couldn't endure Erdes's watchful gaze and pressure, causing his hair to fall out in clumps.
W еb̀ ǹ оv̇ӗ ľ_ Ӗn̂ü m a
Since he received confirmation that Ferda had nothing more to do with him, they were now strangers to each other.
No, rather, it was Eremvalt who would remain the victim.

"I won't have to deal with that damn rascal anymore either. This is enough."
"What rascal?"
"Eek!"
At the familiar voice, he lifted his head.
We b̊n о v̈е̇l̄ Еń u m̌ã
This was inside the carriage.
The seat opposite should have been empty with no one there.
But sitting in that seat was a teenage girl.
Platinum hair and blue eyes holding mana.

Her name was Erdes Roton.
President of the Serdes Continent Magic Society, a living calamity, a magic-using ruffian.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
She grinned like a trickster.
"Say what you just said again. I'm curious what the story is too."
"I, I've committed a mortal sin. I spoke rudely of the President—."
"You think I came all this way to hear confession over such trivial pumpkin seed cracking?"
She was actually famous for holding grudges for a long time.

However, Erdes hadn't really come for that reason.
"Tell me what you talked about with the Regent."
"The story wasn't anything much."
"Not anything much my ass. If it wasn't anything much, why are Valdrova's attendant and the Regent moving together?"
Eremvalt was startled.
"Wh-where to?"
W̃е̊bñ о ve l̈ Ē ñ u m̄а
"Dunno. Judging by the direction, looks like it's roughly toward the Rosnova Family side?"
She snickered.

"Maybe he's planning to exterminate the family himself?"
Eremvalt made a shocked face.
Cold sweat dripped down continuously.
At Eremvalt's reaction, Erdes, who had been talking nonsense, ended up flustered instead.
Ё nu̇ mа_. іd
"What? Why's your reaction like that?"
"It's nothing......."
"Nothing my ass. You reacted like that because you thought that was the right answer, didn't you? Means a pretty intense conversation went down, huh?"
"It's nothing. I just spoke with Regent Ferda, and told him he's someone with no more relation to the family. He just had an oversensitive reaction all on his own."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"......What?"
At those words, Erdes neither grinned nor got angry.
Е̌n ǔ ṁ ä
She just stared at Eremvalt with an expressionless face.
That made it even more chilling.
"As I said, Regent Ferda is someone who doesn't share our bloodline. Aside from his gray hair, I informed them he's a kid with not a single resemblance."
"Hmm, so you severed ties?"
"That's right."
"Hmm......."

Having heard the answer, Erdes just tapped her chin with her index finger.
He had to say something to break this uncomfortable silence.
"And...... Ferda is definitely using black magic."
"......Why?"
"When I told him I'd cut ties, he used black magic to make a hand! To strangle my neck!"
Eremvalt pretended not to notice until the end.
Е̄ ñũ m̃а̀ .і̇d̊
Because if he noticed, he would've definitely been killed on the spot.
Her eyes shifted sideways.

"So he strangled you?"
"He didn't strangle me...... he just withdrew it, but......."
"How admirable."
"Y-yes?"
Еṅ ū m̈ǎ
Eremvalt was flustered by her answer.
She, who hated black magic more than anyone, showed an attitude like black magic didn't even matter.
"Admirable that he didn't strangle his father's neck when he said he'd cut ties."
No, not just that, she was defending him.

Eremvalt had no choice but to ask her directly.
"What are you going to do about Regent Ferda?"
Е n̂ u ṁ ă . і d
"Do what? I'm not doing a damn thing?"
"Even though he tried to kill you with black magic?"
"Yeah. You dying has fuck-all to do with me?"
The young woman's cheeky voice let out a long sigh.
"Ah, really, messing up this badly makes me feel like total shit. The heavens are helping that brat~."
Erdes stood up from her seat.

"I'm sick of you. Don't let me see you again. If you pull any funny business and get caught, I don't even know what I'll do then. Got it?"
"Yes, I'll live...... humbly."
As if there was no more value in mixing words, she left the seat.
The inside of Eremvalt's carriage found silence again.
"Huu......."
Eremvalt unconsciously placed a hand on his own neck.
Wеb nо v̂ ěl E n̊ ü m_а́
Only after confirming his neck was still attached did he let out a sigh of relief.
He felt guilt for having cast out his son, but it vanished like a passing breeze.

Anyway, he just felt relieved that he'd never have to face that rascal and that filthy thing again.

Serdes Magic Society President's Office.
A round gate opened and Erdes came out from inside.
Е̃ nu̇ m à . і̆ ď
In the President's seat, Lu was sitting as if it were natural, processing her work.
"You dumped work again and went where?"
Lu asked with dark circles under his eyes.
Erdes whipped her head around and glared at Lu.

It was an irritated expression.
"Went to lay the groundwork in the Far East, why?"
E ńù m̆ а́ ._і d̆
"Didn't you hate that Regent a lot?"
"Right, fucking hell. There's no other word for this bullshit."
Erdes threw her body onto the sofa while spewing curses.
Inciting workers to form a labor union to create a counterforce was a good idea.
But the opponent was far more powerful than imagined.
"Stefan Pascal, that guy wasn't a nobody, was he?"

"He's the one who'll become Pascal Company President?"
"What?"
Erdes lifted her head.
It was a face hearing it for the first time.
"Since when? Weren't there two formidable competitors?"
"When are you talking about? The eldest daughter eloped to a western village with her husband, and the eldest son made a fuss about seceding before handing over the mercenary company management rights to Stefan."
W̆е b̀ńо v́ е l Ёn ǔ m̌ а
"Why didn't I know?"
"Because it was originally an area you had no interest in?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because it was originally an area you had no interest in?"
Erdes shot her a vicious glare.
Lu, who had been playing along, made a troubled face.
W̌ е b̆n о̆v е l Е ńu m̊ а
"Uh...... is that my fault?"
"You're a secretary, act like one and handle things cleanly. Even if I'm not interested, you should shove it in my face saying 'Please just look at this once.'."
"What baby-feeding nonsense....... Fine, I'll learn mind-reading magic starting now."
Lu answered with a dumbfounded face.

"And Eremvalt!"
The second thing that pissed her off.

"That bastard, to think he's such a coward. A knight family member getting scared shitless by a single mage?"
"The ones who didn't cower died by the President's hand, so you gotta understand."
"Even so, disowning your own son makes sense?"
"Didn't he say his blood doesn't flow in him? And he has two perfectly fine other sons. Besides, he offered him up as a sacrifice, so showing denial now is a bit much too."
Erdes crossed her arms and grumbled discontentedly.
"Even so, they lived together for 18 years, there'd be some attachment, right? If it were me, I'd still have the attachment from living together."

Lu's eyes widened in shock.
"You, President?"
"Why? Bitter? You think you survived talking back all this time because of your ability?"
Lu cowered and backed down.
"Anyway, so I couldn't find a weakness either. If there'd been even a little denial and attachment, I could've made that brat's weakness and blackmailed him......."
Instead, I only learned how wretched his life was.
E.n ŭm а. i d̀
Erdes didn't like that.
"Blue."

"Why do you call me?"
"Is my eye for people that bad?"
"You finally opened your eyes?"
"You wanna fucking die?"

"Seriously speaking...... it's not the good side."
"The Society runs well though? Is that because I work well?"
"That's because if it doesn't run well, you fire people starting from the neck up. It feels like it runs somehow because it's scary."
"Hmm, so that's how it was, that's how it was. Guess I need to change things up."

"Yes. Clean up personnel too, do a complete overhaul? Like when you brought me in."
When Lu slyly suggested that, Erdes stared at his face.

"Even if you say that, lifetime secretary here will never let go."
"Damn it."
The Magic Society President's secretary, Lu, failed to escape again today.

After confessing his anxiety, Ferda returned to work.
The wound Eremvalt left had calmed down to some extent, but the aftereffects lingered in his head in the form of uncertainty.

'Whatever the case, it's true my power is unstable.'
The fact that it doesn't move by a single emotion, but another emotion could intervene, is unprecedented.
The pre-regression Ferda would've thought 'good' and tried desperately to make it work somehow.
Because for a mage with a Red Circle, other emotions are merely braking devices.
Ferda knew that balance well.
'Losing control leads to tragedy.'
Ӗṅ ǔm̌а_
He would go against Valdrova's will, and Ruri, as her attendant, would demand payment from Ferda.
Being killed by Ruri's hand would undoubtedly be a tragedy.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'But what's even more tragic.......'
Was killing Ruri, who came to kill him, in reverse.
'If I kill the only child Valdrova believes in.......'
The feeling of isolation Valdrova felt surged vividly.
Е̌n̂u m а̇
After the Dragon-Demon War, she lived 150 years feeling guilt and loneliness.
But there was a sliver of hope.
Valdrova knew Ruri was still on her side.
In the previous life, even that her disappeared.

That means in Valdrova's life, there was no one; only despair.
'I would've gone crazy long ago.'
Wѐb́ n o v ёl Еnǔṁ ȧ
But she didn't go crazy.
In the end, she even gave her heart to Ferda, who hated her.
Not resignation leading to despair, but new hope through final sacrifice.
'Such a woman.......'
How could I leave her alone?
How could I hurt her?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It felt like the rope thrown into the pit of despair was actually rotten, unknown to me.
Far from saving her from within, it would only leave greater wounds.
Just like.
The sight of him strangling her in the dream.
Don't be anxious.
At such times, a sweet voice would pierce his ears.
Е̌ň u_mӑ.ĭ d̆
There's no reason to worry like that.
Because you're strong.

Do what you do well.
Ferda didn't answer that voice.
He ignored it and ignored it until it sank down.
'I need to pull myself together.'
Еnům̄ а
He had to steel his mind to not lose to the great temptation.
Ferda Valdrova.
Since he was a man who found answers to everything, he decided to believe he could find an answer this time too.
'Worst case.......'

He could just give up his life as a mage.
That'd be much better than carrying a bomb that could explode anytime.
È ñ ũ.m̊ а̂. ïd̄
'Then what's left for me?'
Ruri demanded one thing from Ferda.
To become a fiancé worthy of Valdrova's stature.
Unlike the thought that time would make things better, he only realizes how trivial his existence is.
All he has is shabby future information and magic knowledge.
In the conditions Ruri wants, he's out.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a terrible situation.
The moment he abandons either side, the balance collapses and everything crumbles.
Don't want to give up.
Just as she never gave up on herself no matter the situation.
Ferda also didn't want to give up on her.
Kwoong!
W е̃b̊n о v е̄ l̄ Е̇ n ǔ m̂ а
That was when.
A vibration large enough to shake the castle rang out.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Valdrova's blood qi?'
No.
The amplitude flowing through his feet is different.
This was a vibration happening inside the castle.
W̃ е bǹ o v́ē l Е ṅ um̈ӑ
Someone must've caused a major accident.
'Was there an experiment big enough to vibrate this much?'
Ferda rose from his seat and headed toward the research building.
The castle interior was already filled with confused people in the corridors.

"What's this commotion?"
"We came out wondering the same thing."
Е̊ n̈.u ḿ ã
"Wasn't it an explosion from your lab?"
"Our lab can't produce an explosion this big?"
The people who could be culprits all wore clueless faces.
Ferda himself had naturally assumed it happened at Vernel's lab and came.
'If not here.......'
There was only one element that could cause an explosion.

"Ferda-nim."
Ruri found him and reported.
"There was a massive mana movement. The location is—."
"The study?"
"How did you know?"
Ruri narrowed her eyes and asked.
Е́ṅ u m̀а. i̊ d́
The question of 'Ferda, did you do this?' was contained in it.
"If not here, the only person who could cause an explosion this big would be Echidna."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This week was her period in charge of Mori.
That Echidna would be in the study savoring Mori.
So he moved his feet toward the study with Ruri.
Opening the study door, a devastated interior was visible.
Ẁ е̌b̃ň о̌v̊ е̌ ĺ Еn um̂ а
There, Mori was sitting.
She was silently doing her work, sweeping away papers pouring down like late autumn leaves.
The massive explosion wasn't even in her sight.
"Mori."

At hearing her name, she stopped her pen and lifted her head.
Her eyes shone purely even at this moment.
Wеb ňȯ v̇е̂ l Ê ńü mа́
No, she seemed to have a strangely refreshed expression.
"What happened?"
Mori wrote the answer on paper.
-Echidna has dissipated.
Summarized cleanly and concisely, but the content was quite serious.
