“What, Crown Prince, what?”
“That’s impossible….”
Both those who had been fighting the demons and those who had been fleeing were all shocked beyond words.
However, no one could doubt it.
The vivid green eyes revealed beneath the red hair that symbolized the Imperial Family.
That proved Bizra’s words were true.
If she had spoken falsehood rather than truth with her blessed eyes, their eyes would have returned to normal.
It wasn’t just them who were shocked.
“What, what are you saying?”
The Emperor and Empress, who had been hurriedly trying to leave the banquet hall under the knights’ escort, also stopped abruptly.
“The Crown Prince, what did he do?”
The two looked at Crown Prince Feliks.
Feliks, who unlike them, wasn’t fleeing but standing firmly in place.
They had thought he remained to take the lead in commanding the knights.
“…Feliks?”
But that wasn’t it?
“Felik….”
The moment Queen Sophia took a step toward Feliks, the Emperor grabbed her.
“…Braden?”
At the Emperor’s suspicious gaze toward their son, Sofia cried out desperately.
“That can’t be, that can’t be! The Crown Prince, our son couldn’t possibly join hands with demons!”
“…Sofia. The blessed eyes do not see falsehood.”
The Emperor’s voice trembled terribly.
He too didn’t want to believe it.
He wanted to deny it.
However, Bizra’s blue eyes and Feliks’s green eyes told them that all of this was true.
So, so….
“Feliks. Say it with your own mouth. Did you truly join hands with the demons?”
“Answer, Feliks!”
The Emperor and Empress shouted alternately.
However, Feliks didn’t even glance at them.
He only stared at Bizra inside the protective barrier.
Bang, crash!
As if responding to his gaze, the demons pounded the barrier even more violently.
But even as the demons clawed with their talons, bit with their teeth, and spewed poison, the noble golden barrier didn’t show even a scratch.
Bizra, safely protected inside, also stared straight at Feliks.
With those hateful, bright blue eyes that Feliks could never possess.
Crack.
Feliks clenched his fist tightly.
“…Do not be deceived, Father, Mother. Bizra is showing illusions using the demons’ power.”
“…Then, you mean Bizra is the enemy?”
Sofia’s face went blank.
She was confused.
She couldn’t tell whose words to believe.
“How could such a thing….”
One was her own son, the other was a niece she had raised like her own daughter.
One of the two was a subordinate of ‘Evil’.
Who on earth should she believe?
“Your excuses are quite pathetic, Crown Prince.”
That’s when it happened.
A gentle yet powerful voice spread.
It was Ordel.
“I, who possess the Sun God’s power, am protecting Princess rather than you, so do you think that excuse will work?”
Ordel pointed her mace at Feliks.
“It’s already too late. From the moment you failed to kill me, your defeat was already confirmed.”
The pitch-black mace glowed golden, and the inside of the barrier was instantly filled with golden waves.
The moment her eyes shone with an even deeper color.
Crash!
Lightning struck down on the heads of the demons that had been pounding the barrier.
Under the terrifying divine power, the demons couldn’t even scream and crumbled into a handful of dust.
People’s eyes widened at the overwhelming sight.
They had already heard about it, but seeing it in person was on a different level.
“Now, everyone. Look.”
Then Ordel, who had wielded divine power in a human body, pointed at Feliks.
The people who turned their heads as if entranced witnessed another shocking sight.
“That wicked power that blocked my strength.”
Drip, drip.
The moment the lightning struck, part of the protective barrier surrounding Feliks had melted away.
“That, that! I saw it at the Temple of the Sun God!”
A translucent black barrier. It was identical to the black barrier that had protected the demons and Bes Lunata at the temple.
“The, the Crown Prince really did join hands with demons!”
There could be no more perfect evidence than this.
“That can’t, that can’t be…. My son, the Crown Prince, with demons…. Why, why….”
The shocked Sofia swayed greatly.
The Emperor’s eyes, as he hurriedly supported her, were also shaking aimlessly.
How could this be, how could this possibly be.
The child he had believed without doubt would help the Empire become a greater nation.
How could this be!
“Oh, my.”
Then an exclamation that didn’t match this shocking situation was heard.
It was Ordel.
“Princess.”
“What?”
“Would you like to see one more truth about the Crown Prince?”
“What?”
Bizra looked at her with furrowed brows.
“I already saw one truth, there’s no way I can see another.”
“It seems quite possible if I help you.”
The blessed eyes allow one truth per person.
It’s a law set by the gods, so how could that be changed?
However, instead of answering, Ordel traced the empty air with her eyes.
As if she was seeing something.
* * *
This works.
I looked at the messages appearing one after another before my eyes.
【The blessing of the Three Patron Deities possessed by ‘Bizra Karneus’ responds to the user’s divine power.】
【Using the user’s divine power, the blessed eyes possessed by ‘Bizra Karneus’ can be temporarily enhanced.】
【Effect: Can see a second truth.
(However, there is only one chance.)】
It’s only once, but in the current situation, it’s a very good ability, isn’t it?
【’Sun Risen from Death’ informs you that it’s because a pathway connecting to the gods has been created inside the user’s body.】
Ah!
When I achieved 65% divine power, the communication skill was upgraded and a pathway was opened.
I only thought it was tiresome because I’d receive unlimited useless messages from the Three Patron Deities.
But it’s surprisingly useful?
【’Sun Risen from Death’ sniffles, saying he’s hurt that you call communication with gods, which others desperately want but can’t have, useless.】
I ignored the tearful message and looked back at Bizra.
“If I use my divine power, I can temporarily enhance the Eye of Blessing.”
“That’s, possible?”
“Well, it’s me we’re talking about.”
Don’t look at me with such bewildered eyes. It’s really possible.
“…Well, if it’s possible, there’s no reason to refuse. I happened to have one more thing I wanted to ask that man anyway.”
“That works out well.”
Nodding my head, I shouted loudly.
“I am one who inherited the Sun God’s divine power! With my ability, I will enhance the Eye of Blessing to reveal one more truth about Crown Prince Felix!”
“Nonsense! That can’t be possible!”
Felix shouted with his face twisted hideously.
Now that he’s cornered, his true expression is finally showing.
I looked at him and grinned wickedly.
“Whether it’s nonsense or not, just wait and see.”
【Using the user’s divine power to enhance the Eye of Blessing possessed by ‘Bizra Karneus’!】
The power that had been surging within the protective barrier was instantly sucked into Bizra’s eyes.
“Huk!”
Her body swayed as she suddenly absorbed the divine power.
I supported her.
“It’s heavy and cold, isn’t it? But endure it. It’s the only power that can satisfy your curiosity.”
At my words, Bizra clenched her teeth tightly.
She looked almost desperate as she took deep breaths, trying to absorb more divine power somehow.
What could she be so curious about?
“…Ah.”
After a few seconds like that.
The divine power she had absorbed began to gradually gather in her eyes.
As she slowly raised her head, golden light seeped into her bright blue pupils.
“Th-that! Princess!”
Her body, responding to the divine power, slowly rose into the air.
Bizra, who had flown higher than anyone else in the banquet hall, looked down at the Crown Prince.
“Urk!”
The Emperor, who had been staring blankly at Bizra, groaned and clutched both his eyes.
I quickly ran up the stairs and approached the Emperor.
“Emperor is also reacting to the divine power. It will only hurt for a moment, there won’t be any major problems, so don’t worry.”
“Y-your eyes…”
The Empress, who had been examining the Emperor, said urgently.
His pupils, which had turned green, were also flickering with golden light.
“Aaaahhh!”
Since even the Emperor was reacting like this, it was natural for the Crown Prince to react as well.
But how could a body that had accepted the power of ‘Evil’ handle divine power?
He screamed and clutched both his eyes.
Blood flowing down between his fingers was clearly visible.
Bizra pointed at him with her finger.
“Felix Roan Carnuss. Another truth you’ve been hiding. And also what I was most curious about.”
Everyone in the banquet hall focused on Bizra.
On the other truth she was about to reveal.
Bizra shed clear tears, gritted her teeth, and shouted.
“…Felix is the true culprit who killed my father and mother!”
The truth thus revealed was utterly vile and horrifically terrible beyond measure.
