Part 2, Chapter 44 (237)
Rasifer’s confession was utterly shocking.
There’s a world of difference between anticipating something and hearing direct confirmation from his own lips.
My heart was turbulent, but I fought to maintain composure and think rationally.
‘I understand why Rasifer kept it hidden. He was ashamed of his father.’
To think I should be embarrassed by Father.
As someone who respected Father more than anyone in the world, I couldn’t comprehend it.
Why didn’t Rasifer’s father care for his own child?
‘That’s what infuriates me. That Rasifer had to carry this secret alone, suffering in silence.’
I wouldn’t have been able to speak of it easily either. It’s not just personal shame—it’s the disgrace of an entire household.
I felt a sorrow so profound I didn’t know what to say.
When I thought about it, Rasifer had always been alone.
There were many mages around him, but they weren’t ‘family.’
‘Perhaps that’s why he clung to me more.’
Even while hating and despising Viju, there must have been a part of him that wanted to rely on it.
“But if there’s any consolation, unlike my mother, you have a dependable family and a place to return to.”
“Pel….”
“It’s sad that I have to call that a consolation, but it’s genuinely one. Our relationship won’t deteriorate like my parents’ did.”
Of course, if I were ever imprisoned or something happened, Father would come running, along with my Older Brother and Grandfather.
My cousin Older Brothers wouldn’t stand idle either… and what about Cecilia?
If anyone dared act against my will, they’d have to face all of Fasayen.
[Water Spirit King Aurora adds her voice.]
[All the Spirit Kings as well. No one in this world can ever hurt you.]
That’s right, Mother.
Still hesitant, I stepped closer to Rasifer, who couldn’t lift his gaze.
“Pel, look at me.”
“….”
“It’s alright. Will you look at me?”
When I thought about it, Rasifer was simply cleaning up the mistakes of the previous generation.
I had no desire to corner someone like that.
“You’ve suffered so much. Your heart must be deeply wounded. You couldn’t tell anyone and carried this burden alone, didn’t you?”
Rasifer’s eyes widened as if he never expected me to say such things.
“Thank you for confessing now. Thank you for not suffering alone… for sharing this with me.”
“…Shu.”
“I mean it. Let’s find a solution together.”
I didn’t condemn Rasifer. There was no reason to, and I didn’t want to.
But Rasifer seemed shocked, unable to hide his surprise.
“Now that I know clearly who we’re facing, I’m actually relieved. Finally, everything is clear.”
Before, everything had been murky and unclear.
I didn’t know the enemy’s motivation—why they were going to such lengths.
But now I understand.
Rasifer gazed quietly into my eyes, then lowered his head deeply. His shoulders trembled as he laughed with a soft, choking sound.
“Ah… that’s exactly why I love you.”
“Huh?”
“You’re someone I can’t help but love, truly. How could I not love you?”
Rasifer’s face looked noticeably lighter as he whispered those words.
“My father has been gathering materials all this time. Diolrose Bellarian was the most essential material for the resurrection ritual. That’s why he abducted her first.”
“Materials? Surely not… using Sister Diolrose’s body?”
“That’s exactly it. But what comes after isn’t an ordinary story. My father doesn’t want something like implanting a soul into Diolrose’s body.”
“Then what?”
I finally understood why Sister Diolrose had been abducted—the secret behind it all.
So why am I necessary?
“I’m not entirely certain myself. But since we share Laximon bloodline, I can make an educated guess. He probably started the war because he needed many sacrifices, and he used the Elves because when a pure race falls into corruption, dark magic becomes far more powerful.”
“I see.”
“For years, I’ve pursued traces of my biological father, trying to capture him. But every time, I only found fake bodies embedded with red crystals.”
Rasifer continued his explanation calmly, as if he’d set something down.
Yet strangely, watching him speak like this, I felt as though we’d grown considerably closer.
As if I’d finally glimpsed the face beneath the mask he’d been wearing.
‘I see. What bothered me was that Rasifer only showed me his good side.’
[🙂: 13 ▶ 14]
[Grape Board Progress: 29/30]
Along with the notification that I’d completed a Quest, another stamp was added to the Grape Board.
After glancing briefly at it, I turned my gaze back to Rasifer.
The most crucial part of this conversation still remained.
“What my father truly desires is probably the power of time.”
“Could it be… he wants to bring back the time when they loved each other?”
“Your guess is correct. That’s why you’re needed. It’s like he wants to extract a portion of the past and implant it into Diolrose Bellarian’s body.”
Rasifer ran his hand roughly through his hair.
“Setting aside how insane it is to even think that could work, if he carves out the mother from the past like that, no one knows how the future will change. The entire world we knew could collapse.”
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ grows serious.]
[Even though I love chaos, I’ve never thought of something this insane. In a way, it’s impressive.]
If even the Chaos Spirit King is reacting like this, it must be something absolutely, absolutely forbidden.
Because the Chaos Spirit King is someone who’d even suggest starting wars.
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ clears his throat.]
[No matter how supreme one is, even I know what shouldn’t be touched. If you pull an already-written past into the present, Causality won’t stand idle.]
The past is the past because it has already passed.
No matter how painful, regrettable, or difficult, it must be released.
If you go against that… well, even I know something truly terrible would happen.
“Mother didn’t die. She’s just hiding. Because she despises and abhors my biological father so much.”
“…Yes, Pel.”
“Because she can’t find her mother, who is perfectly alive somewhere… or because she tried to turn back time and win back her mother’s heart but failed, she summons the version of her mother from an era she could control and possesses another person’s body with her.”
Rasifer let out a hollow laugh.
In truth, as an ordinary person, it was something I couldn’t comprehend and didn’t want to understand.
“So that’s why you need me. Because I have the power to reverse time.”
“Exactly. More precisely, I need the power to ‘fix reversed time in place.’ Even a Wizard can’t reverse another person’s time.”
After hearing everything, I deliberated.
So she wanted to ask me for a favor, but since I wouldn’t grant it, she decided to resort to coercion from the start.
‘How cowardly.’
Petty and contemptible. Stubborn and wicked.
Truly selfish and despicable.
I didn’t want to use such words for Rasifer’s Father, but that’s exactly what he was.
“I absolutely won’t do it.”
“Of course not. I’ll stop her, Shu.”
“Yes. And Rasifer, you… I know you’ll never become like that. Because I won’t let you.”
I understood what Rasifer truly feared.
Now I fully grasped what ‘you won’t become like your father’ truly meant.
So I held Rasifer and told him again and again.
“You won’t become like that. Don’t worry. Never, ever will I let you become that way… let you be destroyed and let us be destroyed.”
This is the promise I can give.
So I hope you’ll trust me.
Even now, my mind was busily working through revisions to the plan I’d already formulated.
But this part required Rasifer’s consent.
I looked into Rasifer’s eyes and explained, with tenderness but firm resolve, what I would do from this moment forward.
After that, we went together to where Father was.
To be precise—
We burst into the Strategy Conference Room.
“I have something to say!”
