Chapter 95

Callix Crowbell’s first life was truly miserable.

He lost his heart to a woman who wouldn’t even look at him, Anabella Rizeren, and while suffering from heartache, he was consumed by dark magic.

In the name of love, he kidnapped her, and in his obsession to never let her be taken away, he committed the insane atrocity of turning the people of Belheim into monsters.

But Anabella never chose him until the end, and he died with his heart pierced by the sword of the Prince who came to rescue her.

But for some reason, when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to four years ago.

In this life, Callix desperately struggled not to repeat his mistakes.

But fate mockingly drove him back to the monster extermination site, and eventually consumed by dark magic, he kidnapped Anabella Rizeren once again.

When he barely regained his sanity, Callix released Anabella.

But the Prince and the Temple said they couldn’t leave him alone as he had become an evil being consumed by dark magic, and attacked him to the end.

In the end, Callix was killed by the Prince’s sword once again.

When he opened his eyes again this time, he was back four years ago without fail.

This time, Callix found and killed Anabella Rizeren before the monster extermination occurred.

Because he thought everything started because of her.

Having experienced three regressions, his feelings for her had grown cold, so he could stab her without hesitation.

But the moment her heart stopped, some woman’s voice was heard.

“You can’t just do as you please.”

As soon as those words ended, Callix’s heart stopped too. There was no time to struggle, not even a moment to scream.

Having met such a futile death, he was back four years ago without fail.

This was already the seventh time he had repeated the same life while struggling desperately in every way.

What Callix realized after repeating seven lives was that no matter what he did, what was meant to happen would definitely happen.

If he tried to deviate even slightly from the predetermined path of fate, an inexplicable death would invariably bare its fangs and strike him down.

In this endless, terrible nightmare, Callix’s mind was slowly wearing away.

Just when he was about to give up everything and let himself go with the flow, a woman named Eileen appeared.

When she intervened, the long rainy season that he couldn’t avoid no matter how much he struggled, and the flooding of the Raed River that had claimed hundreds of lives, didn’t occur.

‘If it’s her this time too…’

An unfamiliar hope raised its head from the bottom of his heart.

Once or twice could be miraculous coincidences, but if those coincidences kept repeating, it was an undeniable inevitability.

Knock knock-

“My Lord. Miss Eileen has come to see you.”

Just then Eileen appeared, and Callix’s eyes shook greatly. He answered while crushing the half-burned cigar into the ashtray.

“Come in.”

Eileen, who was about to open the study door, flinched and stopped walking at the acrid cigar smoke that stung her nose.

When her brow furrowed slightly at the murky air filling the room, Callix, who was sitting by the window, roughly pushed open the window.

The cold air pouring in swept away the harsh smoke.

“What’s the matter?”

When Callix asked, Eileen, standing in front of the desk, opened her mouth.

“I came because I was curious about what happened to Anabella Rizeren.”

“There hasn’t been any particular progress yet.”

Noah Roheim, who was standing beside them, answered instead with a troubled expression. Eileen’s eyebrows trembled finely.

“Two days have passed, and still nothing?”

Noah nodded with an awkward smile. Eileen sighed softly and lowered her gaze.

“You seem eager to deal with that woman quickly?”

Callix, who had been observing her intently, asked cynically.

“Rather than wanting to deal with her… I’m curious about why she did such a thing. I also want to confirm whether the Temple is involved behind this.”

“If the Temple is involved, what will you do?”

As if she hadn’t thought that far, Eileen closed her mouth for a moment.

After staring at her feet for a long while with her head slightly bowed, she soon raised her head as if she had made up her mind. Her unwavering eyes turned toward Callix.

“If you haven’t found out anything yet… may I check directly myself?”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to meet that woman, Anabella Rizeren. Just the two of us alone.”

“Miss Eileen!”

Unlike Callix, who raised his eyebrows as if surprised, Noah shouted in shock.

“That woman tried to kill Miss Eileen. But you want to meet her alone! It’s too dangerous!”

“Will you allow it?”

Despite Noah Roheim’s dissuasion, Eileen asked again. Callix, who had been staring at her, soon nodded.

“Fine, let’s do that.”

“My Lord!”

“However,”

Callix interrupted Noah Roheim and added.

“You must keep your distance with the iron bars between you. I’ll allow it if you promise never to get close enough for her to reach you.”

“I will do that.”

When Eileen readily accepted the conditions, Callix gave an order to Noah Roheim.

“Grant her request.”

“…I understand.”

No matter how he thought about it, it was dangerous, but faced with the resolute Callix and the even more stubborn-looking Eileen, Noah had no choice but to back down.

* * *

Noah Roheim kept telling me to be careful all the way to the underground prison where Anabella Rizeren was confined.

He also told me to scream immediately if that woman showed any suspicious behavior.

“I’ll be as careful as possible, so don’t worry too much, advisor.”

“I’m saying this because you never know what might happen even if you’re careful.”

Noah Roheim let out a deep sigh.

“Why do you want to meet that woman anyway?”

“I wonder too.”

I don’t want to see her either, but I have no choice because of the Main Quest.

I smiled awkwardly, swallowing the words I couldn’t say.

The new Main Quest appeared this morning while I was getting ready for work.

[4-2. Go meet Anabella Rizeren.]

[Reward: 30,000p]

Go meet someone who tried to kill me.

As soon as I saw it, I automatically said “Are you crazy?” I jumped up and down shouting what kind of ridiculous Quest this was, but the system gave no response.

I pondered for a long time about what to do, but there was only one conclusion.

‘I have to do it.’

If it had been content like forgiving Anabella Rizeren, I would have given up even if my life was reduced, but if it was simply meeting her, it was doable.

I was also secretly curious about what state that woman would be in, and whether she was regretting it.

I was worried that Callix Crowbell might oppose it, but surprisingly, he readily gave permission.

“This way.”

The guard who had been waiting at the entrance to the underground prison took the lead, saying he would guide us.

The underground prison was more horrific than I had thought. The deeper we went down the stairs, the more the musty smell and unidentifiable stench that stung my nose vibrated.

The walls were damp with moisture, and only the sound of water drops falling from somewhere regularly broke the silence.

‘I want to finish quickly and get out.’

I don’t want to stay in a place like this for long. I rubbed my goosebump-covered arms and hurried my steps, closely following the guard who was leading the way.

“Here it is.”

The guard positioned me in front of the deepest prison at the end of the corridor and then left. Noah Roheim also left after reminding me not to forget the precautions.

I looked at Anabella Rizeren in the darkness beyond the iron bars. She didn’t seem to notice the presence of people and didn’t move at all with her head deeply bowed.

To think this was the appearance of the original heroine I knew. It felt strange.

I opened my mouth while keeping an appropriate distance from the iron bars.

“I guess God didn’t teach you about this kind of future?”

Even though I deliberately sneered to provoke her, she showed no reaction.

“Did the God you worship so much order you to do this too? Or did the Temple order it?”

“….”

“If you tell me honestly who’s behind this, you might be able to save your life. Or you could try praying to God to spare you. Though I’m not sure if He will.”

Even with my continued provocation, she didn’t say a word. It was strange that she wouldn’t even lift her head, so I was about to move closer when—

[Main Quest 4-2 Complete.]

[You will receive 30,000 points as a reward.]

[4-3. Please break Anabella Rizeren’s brainwashing.]

I hesitated momentarily at the system windows that appeared one after another. After checking the contents of the new quest, I frowned.
