“Grrk, kuk, kek.”

As I approached Feliks, the man trembled and glared at us.

However, the man who had once felt so formidable could no longer threaten us.

Because of the divine power that Rute and I were continuously attacking his body with, Feliks couldn’t even pull out the sword stuck in his mouth.

No matter how powerful Feliks was, he could no longer survive.

Feliks seemed to realize this fact as well, as his blackened eyes shook violently.

“Finally, this day has come.”

Jin stomped hard on Feliks’ arm as he clawed at the ground.

Her hand gripping the axe was filled with strength.

“Who would have thought you were a minion of ‘Evil’. Ha! To think I was used for so long without knowing.”

“You’re right about that.”

Rute also agreed with Jin’s words.

An emotion that was either anger or liberation surged in his eyes as well.

In this world, only these two people would understand each other’s pain.

“When I think of what I suffered because of you, I really want to tear you limb from limb right now.”

Feliks would never know until his death.

What he had done to these two people in his previous life.

How he had created this world.

You’ll really die knowing nothing at all.

Cowardly as always.

“…But still, you’re not my share to take.”

Jin, who had been seething for a while, eventually swallowed her anger and turned her head.

Bizra was approaching with the guard knights.

“…So it has come to this in the end, Feliks.”

Bizra looked down at Feliks.

Similar anger to Jin’s was surging in her eyes, but other emotions were also present.

Compassion for the blood relative she had once played and grown up with, back when nothing had happened yet.

“Kuk, grrrk!”

Seeing her, Feliks writhed his body.

At this sight, the guard knights quickly pinned down his limbs.

“A very long time ago, after mother and father passed away, a Royal Mage came to see me.”

At Bizra’s words, Feliks’ eyes widened.

She looked down at him as he stiffened and continued calmly.

“He told father that I might manifest the Blessed Eyes. Since this accident happened less than a few months after that, it might be related to that incident.”

We all opened our eyes wide at this story we were hearing for the first time.

So Feliks had tried to kill Bizra to prevent her from manifesting the Blessed Eyes?

And contrary to his plan, only Bizra had survived?

“You said it yourself. That our parents were blinded by desire.”

Bizra took another step closer to Feliks.

“You. You were angry thinking that if I manifested the Blessed Eyes, father would make me the Crown Prince, weren’t you?”

What?

“You were angry thinking that father, who treated you so kindly, was being greedy behind your back, right? So you used ‘Evil’s’ power to kill our parents, didn’t you?”

Earthquakes occurred in the eyes of the Imperial Knights who had heard this unexpected imperial secret.

As excellent imperial subjects, they should pretend not to have heard, but how could that work as intended?

“You stupid bastard. You should have just asked father directly instead.”

Regardless, Bizra cursed at Feliks.

“Father wasn’t after your position, you idiot.”

Feliks stiffened completely.

We also looked at Bizra in surprise.

“If I really manifested the Blessed Eyes, he planned to give up all rights as royalty and enter mother’s family, the Volgia Ducal House. So that I wouldn’t threaten your position.”

…My goodness.

If this was true, then Bizra’s parents had truly died an unjust death.

All because of Feliks’ single misunderstanding.

I looked down at Feliks.

His eyes were shaking violently.

“That, that’s a li…”

“What reason would I have to lie at this point?”

Bizra smiled.

It was a smile full of pain, tears, and bitter resentment.

“The reason we had visited the ducal house then was also to discuss this matter with grandfather, the Volgia Duke. And we planned to report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately upon returning to the Imperial Capital.”

If he had just waited one day, no, just a few hours, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.

I was speechless at the terrible devastation caused by misunderstanding.

“You ended up like this all because of your own stupid misunderstanding. So don’t blame me, and don’t blame our father either. It’s all what you did.”

I sighed involuntarily at Bizra’s resentful voice.

Looking quietly at Bizra and Feliks, I opened my mouth.

“…You probably didn’t just harbor resentment from the beginning.”

Both Bizra, who was holding back tears, and Feliks, who was frozen and couldn’t say anything, looked at me.

“Even if you were angry, you probably weren’t immediately ready to kill your uncle’s family. Because you were too young for that, Feliks.”

When he killed his uncle, Feliks was only about five years old.

He was far too young to decide to murder someone.

Yet the reason he could carry it out without hesitation was one thing.

“The ‘Evil’ that came to you must have disturbed your thinking when you couldn’t make proper judgments yet.”

“Don’t, don’t insult him…”

“Don’t insult him? He used you to plant hatred in the Imperial Family and prepared a foothold to devour this empire. He even planted poison in Rute through you.”

“…”

His eyes wavered.

His deep-rooted faith toward ‘Evil’ began to shake.

“He probably already knew. That your uncle wasn’t trying to bring you down, but rather loved you.”

He had thoroughly deceived young Feliks, who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, so that he would never realize his uncle’s good intentions.

“Because ‘Evil’ is a vile creature who enjoys manipulating humans to ravage the world.”

Just like how he had deceived everyone by using Idella, who became the Holy Maiden, because he wanted to see the Sun God fall to rock bottom.

It wouldn’t be strange if Feliks was also just a means to that end.

“…What a truly ridiculous thing.”

Bizra, who had been listening quietly, let out a lament.

Her eyes became bloodshot red as she realized that everyone had been dancing in the palm of ‘Evil’s’ hand.

But she endured until the end without shedding tears.

“Feliks. Even if you were used by ‘Evil’, the sins you committed cannot be washed away.”

Bizra extended her hand.

A guard knight immediately handed her a sword.

Feliks’ eyes widened at the sword engraved with an eagle symbolizing the Imperial Family.

“You, how…”

“Therefore, according to the will of His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress of the Karnuss Empire, in the name of the new Crown Prince Bizra Voljia Karnuss, I execute you here.”

Bizra drew the sword and pointed it at Feliks.

This was Bizra’s consideration.

Rather than exposing Feliks’ completely monstrous form to the world, executing him here was better for him.

“Kuk, grrrrk.”

Feliks struggled.

However, perhaps because he had heard shocking truths one after another, his strength was weak.

I infused flames of radiance into the sword Bizra held.

Bizra, who had been quietly watching the blazing flames, stood beside Feliks who lay unable to move.

The two looked at each other.

Bizra bit her lips tightly and raised her sword.

“…Goodbye, Feliks.”

The last words Bizra said to Feliks were a greeting given to family, not an enemy.

Drip.

For the first time, tears fell from Feliks’s eyes.

Whether those were tears of anger at his own failure, betrayal toward the ‘Evil’ that used him, regret for what he had done, or perhaps guilt toward his cousin—only he would know.

Slash!

The blade wreathed in radiant flames severed Feliks’s neck.

Feliks’s neck, already weakened to its limit, was cut far too easily.

Bizra watched that sight for a long while.

She didn’t collapse, nor did she shed tears like Feliks.

She simply gazed as if bidding farewell to family she had once grown up with, who was no longer of this world.

“….”

Raising her head, she soon turned around.

And toward those still fighting the remaining monsters, she raised her sword wreathed in radiant flames and shouted.

“Feliks is dead! Now if we just kill the monsters, victory is ours!”

“Waaaaah!”

The soldiers’ morale grew even higher at Feliks’s cry.

Even those who had been struggling gritted their teeth and swung their swords again, casting magic.

The tide of victory was turning to our side….

Was it really turning?

“…No, it’s not over yet.”

Rute muttered.

Bizra, who had been looking down at the battlefield, and I, and Jin all looked at him.

“Feliks is just a minion of ‘Evil,’ not ‘Evil’ itself. We haven’t killed that thing yet.”

Right. It’s ‘Evil’ that births the monsters.

Rute’s words snapped me back to my senses.

Feliks’s death wasn’t the end.

“Get away!”

Just then, Jin wrapped her arms around my waist and threw her body.

Rute gritted his teeth and used magic to send Bizra and the guard knights flying far away.

Before I could understand why, I saw it.

The sight of Feliks’s severed neck slowly reattaching itself.

Thud!

The man pulled out Rute’s sword that had been stuck in his mouth and threw it to the ground.

Feliks, who should have been dead, was slowly rising to his feet.

An aura spread that was heavier, colder, and more disgustingly nauseating than when using divine power.

Ah, I could tell instinctively.

【Warning!】

【Warning!】

【Automatic warning system activated.】

【’Evil’ manifests in this land!】

‘Evil’ had descended upon this land.
