77.

It seemed Theor had been thinking of killing the dark sorcerer from the moment he pierced my stomach with that black spear.

The others couldn’t even think to stop such a Theor and instead protected the Emperor and Lloyd to avoid getting caught up in the battle between him and the dark sorcerer.

“Kill the Crown Prince too!”

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Empress screamed viciously for Lloyd to be killed, and the knights she had brought hesitantly closed the distance while pointing their swords toward where the Emperor and Lloyd were.

Driven to a dead end, the Empress finally tried to assassinate the Emperor and Crown Prince while leaving countless pieces of evidence, and the Imperial Guard and other eyes that had gathered due to the commotion in the Imperial Palace all witnessed that scene.

Oslo in particular looked shocked seeing his mother’s rebellion.

‘Theor! You mustn’t kill him!’

Theor, who had lost his reason beyond control, cornered the dark sorcerer to a dead end and tightened his grip on his throat, and because of this, the dark sorcerer who had no other options began targeting Greim, the next High Priest.

If he killed Greim and fed his soul to the Demon God, his dark magic would become stronger, so he seemed to think he could face Theor who had suddenly become frighteningly powerful.

However, Pandeum, Lloyd, Greim himself, and even Theor were already blocking the dark sorcerer’s attacks, making it difficult to kill Greim.

“Look at this fool! Didn’t I tell you to kill the Crown Prince! You should be targeting the lives of the Emperor and Crown Prince…!”

“Your Majesty the Empress!”

When the Empress, unable to bear the dark sorcerer’s actions any longer, screamed while filled with venom, the dark sorcerer summoned a black spear as if annoyed and threw it toward the Empress.

In that moment, the startled Oslo embraced the Empress protectively and took the black spear in his back.

“Ugh!”

“…!”

The Empress’s face hardened in shock at Oslo’s action of throwing his body to protect her.

And when her son collapsed bleeding in her arms, her hardened face gradually turned deathly pale.

“Kyaaaah! Oslo! My son!”

The Empress held the fallen Oslo and screamed in anguish.

“Aaaaah!”

And soon after, Theor pierced the dark sorcerer’s heart with a long black sword.

The dark sorcerer seemed to think there was no way he could die like this, blinking his eyes several times before immediately vomiting blood and dying.

“The Demon God has been sealed again.”

Pandeum muttered to himself as if sensing something.

The knights who had been following the Empress had already fled, and the Empress left alone held her bleeding, collapsed son and wailed miserably.

And.

Thud.

Theor, who had used power beyond his body’s limits, collapsed and lost consciousness.

* * *

“Elinea!”

I was watching Lloyd and Greim trying to support and move the unconscious Theor, wondering what to do about this ruined situation, when I clearly heard Theor’s voice from behind.

When I quickly turned my head, the soul of the unconscious Theor was looking at me with eyes full of emotion.

“Theor?”

Swoosh.

Theor embraced my soul and rejoiced.

“W-wait, let go! This isn’t something to be happy about!”

“I thought I’d never see you again. I thought I’d never be able to touch you again. Never again…”

“I get it, so please let go!”

I pushed away Theor who was moved to tears with joy, let out a deep sigh, and asked Pandeum.

‘Pandeum, Theor’s soul has also separated from his body like mine – is this okay?’

‘I don’t know everything either. I’ll look into whether there’s a way to return to your bodies, so don’t stray too far from your respective bodies.’

He emphasized that just in case, souls and bodies should stay close together.

Then Theor said to place my body and his body side by side.

‘Explain the whole situation to His Highness and ask him to let both of us stay in a safe place in the Imperial Palace. Since souls shouldn’t be separated from bodies, make sure my and Elinea’s souls don’t separate either.’

‘So you’re saying you’ll continue staying in the same room with me?’

When I looked at Theor in confusion at those words, Theor spoke with melancholy eyes like looking at a master who didn’t understand his feelings.

‘I almost lost Elinea. I never want to let you out of my sight again.’

‘Still, even so…’

‘I also agree with putting the bodies in the same place for now. Anyway, it’s not good for souls and bodies to be separated for long, so once we find out the cause…’

‘Tell His Highness right now to lay my and Elinea’s bodies on the same bed.’

I felt like he was adding personal motives to this situation, but anyway, the important thing was that not only my soul but Theor’s soul had also left his body, so I decided to solve that part first.

“Eli! Sob! Eli!”

“Hic, sob, hic, sob.”

“Stop crying, Princess. She’s not dead, is she?”

“Countess Triaize, please stop crying too, or all the moisture in your body will disappear.”

But seeing Perioze’s Sister and Caroline genuinely grieving over my unconscious body, I also became sad and teary, watching them cry for a long time and crying along with them.

At least it was fortunate that Lloyd was comforting Perioze’s Sister and Greim was comforting Caroline.

“Stop crying, Elinea. You’ll collapse first at this rate.”

…And me too.

I cried miserably in the arms of Theor, who was comforting me with a worried face.

“I just didn’t want to die, and since I thought I was, hic, possessed in a book, I became close with Sister to, sob, try not to die, hic.”

“Elinea…”

“But in the end, like this, sob, if what was going to happen, hic, happens anyway.”

I poured out barely coherent words to Theor while crying in sorrow.

To summarize, if it was going to be like this, why make me mistake this for book possession and make me live earnestly in another life?

If people destined to die will die and people who will commit bad deeds will commit them anyway, why bother showing the future through the medium of a book and making me work hard to change it?

Things that won’t change will never change for a lifetime, so what were they thinking?

I expressed my resentment toward God while embraced by Theor’s soul.

Not knowing that God was watching all of this.

[That was my arrangement.]

Then, a resonant voice flowed from above my head.

Startled, I looked up to see a completely white person in human form appear.

That person seemed to be quite far away, yet was such a massive existence that only their face was visible.

God?

Are you really God?

I blinked in disbelief, and God’s voice continued again.

[Even I cannot change predetermined fate or plans, so I used you as my worker.]

A real God appeared before me.

…Unbelievable.

God said that seeing the Empire walking toward ruin and countless humans dying in the fate he had set, he wanted to change the path he had predetermined.

For that, several conditions were needed, and on the day I, who met those conditions, died and disappeared, he switched me with a soul from this place.

In the end, God said that when his wrong choices led human lives to unwanted despair, he hoped to show the way through a book and have me change the future with my own hands.

[If you had been tainted by evil energy, my arrangement would have failed once again. But your faithfulness and that of the humans around you saved the world.]

God casually said he had gambled the future on me, and since the Empire’s future had changed with my help and the dark magic created by humans following God’s power could now disappear, he would grant me a wish.

He said this wish was for me, who had performed the task God entrusted well, and for Theor, who protected me as God’s worker, telling us to state any wish we wanted.

“Mine is for Elinea’s safety. Please protect Elinea from any danger in the future. I hope she lives a peaceful, prosperous, and happy life until she dies.”

Moved by Theor making a wish solely for me, I burst into tears again and buried myself in his chest, pouring out my sorrow.

“No, how can you just use up such an important wish on my happiness alone!”

Theor was flustered by my scolding words.

[My worker, then what is your wish?]

God asked me.

I spoke my wish while still crying in Theor’s arms.

“Please make Theor, Perioze’s Sister, Crown Prince Lloyd, Caroline, and Greim happy until they die of old age. If I may be more greedy, please make it so the Empire’s people no longer suffer from demons by giving God’s abilities a barrier function like my dark magic. So we can prepare in advance and never suffer any damage from demon attacks again. Oh, and please give abilities to commoners too. I don’t know what you were thinking giving God’s power only to nobles, but commoners are God’s children too.”

After that, I began reciting wishes that could make the entire Empire happy.

They were wishes so long, detailed, and numerous that even Theor and God were bewildered.

But God, who listened to everything I said until the end, nodded and said he would grant them.

And,

[My worker, you are a very thorough and meticulous child?!]

leaving behind an exclamation before disappearing.
