* * *

Though it happened when she was three years old, Bizra still vividly remembered that day.

They were on their way back to the Imperial Capital after visiting the Voljia Family, her mother’s side.

Having enjoyed a picnic in a quiet forest, it was already late at night by the time they arrived near the capital city.

“Sweetheart, can’t you sleep?”

Bizra, who had been standing on the carriage seat holding onto the window frame, turned her head.

Her mother, Roshia Voljia Karneus, with black hair and kind blue eyes, looked at her with concern.

“It’s way past your bedtime. You must be tired from running around all day, but you won’t close your eyes at all.”

Her mother’s gentle hand stroked Bizra’s cheek.

Loving that touch, Bizra tightly grasped her mother’s hand.

“She probably wants to play with us more. Just leave her be. She can sleep once we arrive.”

Her father, Dmitri Aleksio Karneus, ruffled Bizra’s hair playfully.

Bizra lightly bit her father’s finger, then grabbed the window frame again and looked up at the sky.

“Sweetheart, aren’t you scared? It’s so dark outside.”

Roshia asked while firmly wrapping her arms around her daughter’s waist to prevent her from falling.

It was late at night approaching midnight, and being in a forest, a young child wouldn’t be able to see anything.

Come to think of it, Bizra had been extraordinary since she was little.

She rarely cried, didn’t whine, and never threw tantrums.

She had many aspects that weren’t childlike.

That’s why Dmitri and Roshia secretly worried.

A child didn’t need to be extraordinary.

Just growing up ordinary would be enough for happiness—that was a parent’s heart.

“Mommy, mommy.”

“Yes, sweetheart. What is it?”

“Over there.”

The child pointed at the sky.

Following her gaze, Roshia’s body trembled for a moment.

“The moon is red.”

The moon floating in the dark night sky was distinctly redder than usual.

“That, sometimes that happens. It’s okay, sweetheart.”

The moon turning red was a natural phenomenon, so there was nothing to fear.

…It shouldn’t be frightening.

Yet somehow getting goosebumps, Roshia picked up Bizra.

The incident happened at that very moment.

Crash!

“Watch out!”

The carriage shook violently and suddenly stopped. Dmitri quickly pulled Roshia into his arms.

The shaking was too severe to be from simply stepping on a stone…

“It’s a monster! Protect the carriage! Guard Her Highness!”

The screams of the guard knights echoed from outside.

“D-Dmitri!”

“Roshia, calm down. The knights are here, so it’ll be fine!”

Dmitri looked at the trembling Roshia and Bizra with a distorted expression.

Should he leave them and go fight together?

Or should he stay to protect them from any harm?

But there was no time to deliberate.

Crash!

The carriage shook violently again and began racing madly.

“What, stop! Stop!”

“That way leads to the monster!”

“Your Highness!”

The knights’ shouts gradually grew distant.

Dmitri urgently raised his head and saw it.

The carriage racing toward a house-sized monster.

The knights who couldn’t catch up.

And through the window connected to the driver’s seat, the smiling coachman.

In that moment, Dmitri realized this was all planned.

But it was already too late.

“Roshia, Biz…”

Those were his last words.

Crash!

The carriage was violently torn apart by the monster’s claws.

Dmitri’s body, protecting Roshia with his whole being, was torn along with the carriage.

Unfortunately, fragments of the torn carriage pierced through Roshia’s back.

All three people tumbled to the ground along with the carriage.

“Your Highness!”

“Hurry and kill the monster!”

The guard knights who arrived late killed the monster while shedding tears.

However, most died from poison, leaving only two survivors.

Even they had suffered fatal wounds, making their survival uncertain.

Just as they were slowly dying, unable to do anything.

Rustle.

The two men sensed a small presence.

“…Mommy, daddy.”

Dmitri and Roshia, embracing each other even in their final moments.

From between them, Bizra poked her head out.

Even in this horrific carnage, the princess had tenaciously survived.

“P-Princess…”

The young princess was staring blankly at her parents who had died protecting her.

Confirming this sight, the knights crawled toward her with tears and carefully embraced the child.

“Oh God, thank you. Thank you so much for sparing at least this one…”

The two knights who offered thanks to God protected Bizra throughout the dawn so she wouldn’t be cold or hurt.

And the moment the Imperial Knights, who received the delayed message, came rushing.

They peacefully departed from this world.

From the sudden tragedy, only one person survived—Princess Bizra.

Whether due to the shock of that day or because it was always her destiny, Bizra manifested the Blessing Eyes right after the incident.

However, the child who was only three years old instinctively realized she must not reveal this fact.

Even though this ability alone could identify who killed her beloved mother and father, she never used her eyes even once.

To exact more certain revenge on the enemy who killed her parents.

Thus, Bizra had lived in hiding for 19 years.

Right up until today.

And now that the resentment built up over 19 years was finally released.

Bizra cried for the first time.

She shed the tears she hadn’t shed even when saying goodbye to her mother, father, and everyone who had risked their lives to protect her.

Because she could finally avenge them all.

“Felix Roan Carnuss! In the name of Bizra Karneus, I accuse you of assassinating the imperial family!”

With a face that was unclear whether she was laughing or crying, Bizra declared.

These 19 years had been solely for this day.

* * *

…Are you insane?

I gaped at Bizra’s bombshell statement.

Feliks did what? Killed who?

…Bizra’s parents?

Wow, such unimaginable betrayal that my mind is reeling.

If I’m this shocked, how much more devastating must it be for the Emperor who still hasn’t escaped from his sibling’s death even after 19 years.

I glanced at the Emperor.

“…”

I shouldn’t have looked.

Nothing is more uncomfortable and heartbreaking than the face of someone in despair.

“…Feliks.”

The moment the Emperor opened his mouth, I unconsciously squeezed my eyes shut.

His voice was filled with pain so deep it chilled to the bone.

“Did you, did you really, kill Dmitri and Rosha?”

“…”

“Answer me!”

Feliks kept his head deeply bowed.

His face wasn’t clearly visible because of his hair.

This time he won’t be able to make excuses about Bizra lying or anything like that.

Bizra is currently surrounded by an obviously extraordinary golden power, and the Emperor and Feliks, being imperial family, reacted to that power.

So now there’s only one thing he can do.

“…How annoying.”

Admit his crimes.

“I never expected the Eye of Blessing to be used twice. I didn’t anticipate this.”

Feliks slightly raised his head.

The two eyes revealed between his hair were neither the gold-mixed green nor the original teal color.

They were pitch black, as dark as an abyss.

Crash!

At that moment, demons burst in again.

I got goosebumps.

Those things are different from the ones I just dealt with instantly using Judgment!

They’re stronger, with more potent toxicity!

“Everyone block the demons…!”

I tried to shout urgently below, but there was no time.

I immediately deployed a protective barrier.

Bang!

Black energy struck the barrier.

If I had been even a moment later, the Emperor and Empress would have been drenched in the poison Feliks spewed.

That bastard, is he now going to kill his own parents too?

“Fe, Felik…”

Thud.

The Empress also seemed to realize this fact as she collapsed into her seat.

“Don’t misunderstand, Mother, Father. Surely I wouldn’t try to kill you both. What I was aiming for was that insolent man clinging to your side.”

Feliks looked this way and smiled.

However, with his blackened eyes and blood on his cheeks, he only looked grotesque.

“As if they’d believe you with that kind of smile.”

When I mocked such a Feliks, he immediately glared at me.

“Murdered his uncle at five, poisoned Rute’s body at six. Remarkable from the very start.”

“My abilities are outstanding.”

Feliks extended his hand.

My brow furrowed involuntarily at the black power gathering beneath his palm.

That bastard knows.

That the current me cannot defeat him.

He also knows well that if I fail to completely block it, the poison might cover his parents, yet he continues trying to attack?

Well, having already committed one act of betrayal, a second wouldn’t be difficult.

Feliks looked at his pale parents with a smiling face.

“Mother, Father. Surely you wouldn’t abandon your beloved son?”

“…What?”

“Am I not your only son? So no matter what I do, you’ll choose me, right?”

That bastard is now making threats.

“…Are you, are you really our son?”

“Mother, you’re saying strange things. I’ve been like this from the beginning.”

I’m curious.

When exactly did that guy become a subordinate of ‘Evil’?

Being imperial family blessed by the Three Patron Deities, he couldn’t have received ‘Evil’s’ power from birth.

When exactly did it start.

“…The life of one biological son versus the fate of this entire world. Can you two put these on a scale?”

I asked the two of them.

In this world, there might be people for whom one person’s life is more important than the world’s fate.

Especially if that person is their biological son.

However.

“That’s for you two to decide. At least I won’t.”

Actually, regardless of which they chose, I planned to do as I pleased.

【Activating skill ‘Holy Spear’!】

I immediately grabbed my mace and charged at Feliks.

Bang!

However, Feliks blocked the mace wrapped in Holy Spear with his bare hands, looking completely unfazed.

“It’s a bit hurtful when you rush in so suddenly.”

I didn’t think it would work, but having absolutely no effect is too much.

“Blame yourself for being weak.”

Thwack!

“Gah!”

Feliks, wearing an annoying smile, kicked me straight in the abdomen.

Unable to withstand the impact, as I floated in the air, he hurled a black spear at me.

“Damn it!”

At the same time, he also aimed at Bizra who was still floating in the air.

My eyes widened.
