【160】
The Fate Spirit King’s voice was peculiar.
It sounded as though not one being spoke, but many simultaneously.
The voices of an old man and a child, a woman and a man, all intertwined together.
Like the whisper of a ghost, like the resonance of wind. Like waves crashing ashore, like a bonfire roaring to life.
It was the glimmer of stars, the rising of the sun, the sound of the moon setting.
A chill ran down my spine.
I trembled, and from far away, Rasifer gazed at me.
So Rasifer could read the shimmering text after all.
I could tell by the look of surprise on his face as he stared at the same place I was looking.
[Fate% Spirit@ ‘■■■■■’ sings.]
[Three threads of destiny I have woven for you. Decide the direction of the waves.]
I had read words like these somewhere before in a book.
That Fate always arrives suddenly.
And it truly did.
Why is this happening?
I wasn’t sure if there was even time to ask such a question.
But I understood that here and now, I had to choose something before I could even deliberate.
And depending on my choice, something would shift dramatically. That was the premonition I felt.
If that’s the case… then at least I need to understand why such a key was placed in my hands.
There must be a reason the Fate Spirit King entered at this very moment.
Surely.
[$# Spirit# King ‘■■■■■’ sings.]
[Because only you have been granted such power.]
[Fate@ &Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ sings.]
[And… because someone who wishes to manipulate Fate to their own liking is quite displeasing. If trials are not trials to them, then I shall make them trials.]
[Fate% Spirit@ ‘■■■■■’ sings.]
[Such is the destiny of one born with great power.]
Power that I possess?
After a moment’s thought, I summoned the Jellyfish.
One, two….
All twenty-one of my Jellyfish.
The greatest ability I have is one related to time.
Specifically, time reversal.
Perhaps that’s what they’re telling me to use.
[$# Spirit# King ‘■■■■■’ offers the first thread.]
[Very well, Child. You may forget as though nothing ever happened. You shall forget even the fact that I entered this room. You have the ability to resolve this, yet you need not use it for your own peace. I do not condemn your selfishness. Nothing shall befall you.]
I see.
[Fate@ &Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ offers the second thread.]
[Child, you can rewind time with your ability. Of course, not for very long. Perhaps only back to when you stepped on the mine.]
‘But if I could just go back to that moment… I could stop it. All those catastrophes.’
Rasifer would believe me, so I’d just need to end the match quickly, leave, and inform him of everything.
Actually, there’s no need to explain anything.
Actions speak louder than words.
I could ask Rasifer to send my Father and all the key forces from the various Houses back to their territories.
I calmly formulated a plan in my mind.
Right now, the Spirit Kings aren’t here, and I can’t consult with anyone.
‘I have to decide this alone.’
I can do it.
I’m still very young, but I can do it.
Because I’ve learned so much all this time.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ demands a prudent choice from you.]
[But there is a price. You will lose two things in exchange for reversing time.]
‘Two things?’
[First. All but one of your Jellyfish will vanish. That much must be offered.]
‘….’
[Second. You will lose something precious to you for a long time.]
The letters themselves were ominous.
I could see Rasifer shaking his head.
His eyes seemed to spell out ‘don’t choose this’.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ presents a third thread.]
[Child, I shall show you one last path. You can save those precious to you. Only Fasayen will remain in danger. In exchange, you will lose about half your Jellyfish.]
I see.
The reason only I can do this is simple.
The ability to reverse time belongs to me alone.
‘Either reverse the entire Empire’s time or just Fasayen’s time.’
Either way, I’d have to sacrifice my Jellyfish.
And after that, I probably wouldn’t be able to reverse time ever again.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ whispers.]
[I shall witness your choice.]
Will Eden be alright?
Since the Fate Spirit King is speaking to me, it seems like it probably will be.
‘Perhaps the Fate Spirit King is preventing the other Spirit Kings from interfering.’
Because some choices must be made entirely alone.
“Fasayen has Hans. The pastries Hans bakes are truly delicious. The Kitchen Staff loves them too. And there’s Joy, and Lina. My Jellyfish are so precious, but….”
I bit my lip firmly.
I hate any parting, parting from anyone. I hate giving up something.
I hate weighing the importance of precious things.
I hate it, but I have to do it.
And fortunately, I’ve been educated on how to conduct myself in situations like this.
Cedric taught me this.
‘I am the Fasayen Princess.’
Therefore, Fasayen comes first.
It is my duty to uphold my household’s honor and protect my territory’s people.
If I only thought that far, it would naturally seem I should accept the third thread.
But—
“I will accept the second thread instead.”
That was my choice.
What if Fasayen alone remained unscathed while everyone else faced annihilation?
‘I would never view it kindly.’
I would despise it utterly.
‘Besides… just as there are people like Hans and Lina in Fasayen, there must be such people in other territories too.’
Some are precious because I’m close to them, and others aren’t because I don’t know them.
That’s not right.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ smiles softly.]
[That is your choice. Then, for your altruism and my initial stance, I shall grant you a gift.]
Until now, the Spirit Kings usually gave gifts when they first manifested or made their initial contracts.
What would the Fate Spirit King give me?
I hoped it would be something that could help me navigate this situation.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ bestows a blessing.]
[Child, you shall be free from your Viju. You need not choose a Companion from Viju. Your Viju’s Companion must be you, but you need not be bound the same way.]
What?
Wait a moment!
‘That’s not what I need!’
Beyond the shimmering letters, Rasifer’s expression turned terrifying.
He rushed toward me, yet still seemed impossibly slow.
As if cutting through an enormous current.
[The Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ blessing reaches toward you.]
[I release the bonds placed upon you. Live freely. That shall be sufficient recompense for your sacrifice.]
Reading the fading shimmering letters, I could neither cry nor laugh.
No, couldn’t you just send down rain made of candy and chocolate instead?
Rasifer is enough for me—I don’t need any other Companion!
“Gasp.”
I suddenly came to my senses and realized the world’s speed had returned to normal.
The sounds that had been muffled like a hum regained their meaning.
Rasifer, with a fierce intensity blazing in his eyes, rushed toward me and embraced me tightly with an expression as if he might cry.
“Shu.”
“Um. Hey, did you… see?”
“….”
He definitely saw. What do I do now.
For now, I can’t tell what’s changed.
What matters is the fate of this nation.
Everyone seemed to be discussing what needed to be done, but their opinions were nowhere near converging.
“Current territorial devastation rate: fifty percent and climbing. Astonishingly fast.”
Rasifer, who had been holding me for quite some time, muttered coldly.
