Don’t Concern Yourself With That Book Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Translator: yun

The light had been so overpowering that the light the emperor showed monts earlier paled in comparison.

A shadow of a man had been sliced down. Blood splattered. The sll of red blood. The familiar stench stung my nose. But no one could put up a fight. No, it was because they had been so starstruck by the display of divinity that they could not move.

I tried to move slowly.

‘I can move.’

When I glanced to the side, I noticed Soricks and Rebecca who seed to have found themselves in similar situations.

‘Perhaps the Power of the Lord doesn’t work as effectively on other Templars of the Lord?”

If that was the case, I was the only one in this hall who could move.

From so point, more than half the people in the hall had fallen. Did everyone who collapsed die? I made a hasty conclusion. The fact that I could still hear people’s moans seed to tell otherwise.

‘Why did he stop?’

Castor stared at the scene before unimpressed. Then, he turned his head. His eyes turned to face mine almost unrealistically.

“Ashley.”

His eyes were soaked in another level of madness.

“If everything… everything in this palace disappears, will you look at ?”

His whispers sounded like a roar.

“I have no need to go to you.”

My voice was neither loud nor soft.

But Castor seed to have heard what I said nonetheless. At a mont’s ti, he had already crossed half the hall.

“Will you not call brother anymore?”

He held tightly. When he tilted his head, his black hair cascaded down.

“You’re not even my real brother, are you?”

Rebecca flinched at my words. Soricks looked surprised too.

“So, you knew.”

“Did you not want to know?”

I smiled with my chin caught in his grip.

“If you hadn’t wanted to know, why didn’t you hide it? The truth I have been seeking has only been revealed to in bits and pieces.”

I continued as I stared straight into his eyes.

“You already knew I wasn’t genuine anyway.”

Castor smirked.

“You’re right.”

His golden eyes swirled with imnse energy.

“I wanted you to know. At the sa ti, I didn’t want you to. I also wanted you to be my bird and stay trapped in my cage,”

On the night of the Founding Festival, he confessed that he wanted to be like a bird in his palace for the rest of my life. He would grant anything I wished so he requested to stay confined for the rest of my life.

“I thought seeing you without your mories wasn’t bad either. Since you looked so lovely when you smiled without knowing anything.”

He pulled on my chin. His long fingers descended from my chin before stopping at my throat.

“But, just as I thought, it’s best you rember everything and continue looking at like this.”

Only his fingers had touched so far but still, goosebumps dotted my skin. Or perhaps it was the giddy way he was staring at .

“Ashley. Do you loathe ?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

I smiled as I placed my hands together. For a long ti, I had forced myself to place this smile in front of him.

“What answer were you expecting from ?”

I murmured dryly in a thin, naive voice. As he lowered my head, he stretched a sneer on his face.

“You don’t have to answer.”

He lifted my chin slowly. Our eyes t with intensity.

“You already know the answer, don’t you, brother?”

I spoke, without wiping the expression off my face.

“Castor Dje.”

His eyes stiffened slightly when I spoke his na.

“I loathe you.”

Though he might be facing with a sword just as he did back in that month of Habermia, with an expression completely different from back then, I smiled.

“I had been so disgusted with you, I could barely stand you.”

I acted like a moron so as to survive. I pretended to like and care for the murderer who killed . I had been so desperate to survive.

I was the monster you created.

But here he was staring straight at . Looking at the person he made.

Rather than guarding my life, I had grieved for those who died because of so I had abandoned them to atone for my irreparable past.

“There had never been a mont when I didn’t resent you.”

The cruel murderer that ruined my life.

“I had wanted you to disappear from this life.”

Finally, in this bloody landscape, I confessed my feelings.

“I had once wished for the sa.”

Castor smiled broadly. With his laugh, a strong gust of energy swirled in his irises.

“When all my loved ones had been slaughtered and the n who wielded the swords forced to make a choice, I had wanted to disappear from this world instead.”

He spoke seductively in a giddily low voice before holding my cheek. His hand had been dyed in blood.

“What do you think? Look. Ashley, I’m the only one who can understand you. No one knows about your regressions. They don’t rember.”

His words continued to sway . His words were making a mockery of .

‘Don’t fall for it.’

But I couldn’t resist spitting out.

“You made like this!”

“Right, I made you. So, have you grown afraid of the regressions? Because I will not give up until this Empire is destroyed. Having died and survived thousands of tis, I’ve beco the best tool for its destruction. You cannot stop it.”

Castor whispered with his low voice next to my ears.

“Beco the bird who would only look at . I’ll give anything for you.”

He took my hand before kissing my fingertips. After leaving clear streaks of blood on my cheeks.

“Do you need a beast that barks to your commands? I’ll be that for you. I’ll bring you all the treasures in the world. Say that you’ll look at .”

His eyes curled beautifully.

“There’s nothing left in this devastated world.”

His hand slowly parted with mine. In a blink’s ti, he was already looking across the hall.

“I’ll show you the true Power of the Lord no one has ever told you about.”

A blinding light burst out from beneath his feet. I noticed a strange golden gleam in the crystal. Then, dozens or what seed like thousands of sigils erged on the floor. And then.

“Run away!”

“P-People are coming back to life!”

Those who had been stabbed and groaning in pain rose. Even those who had their legs so crushed their bones could be seen rose and raised their swords.

“D-d-don’t do this! We’re both templars!”

Those who rose again raised their swords before striking their comrades.

Though they were trusted comrades monts before, they raised their swords against each other causing even more confusion and pandemonium. So fought for their lives bravely.

Still, though the templars who had gathered were the best from their temples, they hesitated to stab their comrades.

“P-Please don’t do this!”

While the battered templars struck their comrades down without rcy. Still, the number of people who fell increased one by one.

Those dazed looks, their cloudy expressions. I looked back at Castor in a hurry.

“What do you think, Ashley?”

“You…”

Just then. I quickly turned my head to the groan I heard from right next to . Soricks who had been stabbed with a sword had fallen to the ground trembling. He too looked like he could barely resist this force.

“No. no… Run, princess…”

When I looked around the hall, I noticed fallen patrols all over the place resisting the power.

“Their loyalty to you is comndable.”

“Why are you doing this?”

I said, glaring at him.

“You could have gotten rid of everybody here without needing to do this. Why are you playing with life!”

Castor could have made them unable to move. He could have also killed everyone here with his powers. In other words, he could have done what he set out to do without creating this savage landscape.

“Do you see that?”

Castor smiled slowly before pointing towards a specific spot.

“The emperor is not dead yet. I missed his vitals when I stabbed him.”

Castor who bent over slightly beside before grabbing by my shoulder and whispering.

“What sights would a greedy man who sacrificed his own innocent son just to maintain this Empire be most frightened of?”

Castor laughed to himself before continuing as if he had not expected an answer in the first place.

“It would be the sight of all his templars dying before him. The fall of templars is symbolic of the fall of this Empire.”

The emperor was staring at the sights before him with his eyes widened. His bloodshot eyes were twitching non-stop.

“Vengeance eats away from what you care about. The Lord of the Gods reign above the rest of the gods. That is why we, his heirs, can manipulate templars.”

The strongest heir of all ti had created the cruellest scene befitting his na.

I closed my eyes. A long ti ago, he had intruded into my mind and made feel emotions that weren’t my own.

‘Is this possible because his powers were stronger?’

As Castor looked on, another man fell to the ground.

“Ashley.”

Castor peered over at .

“All that were present here today will die.”

For so reason, I was reminded of the Founding Festival. The words he had spoken as he grabbed onto the mont I regained my mories.

“… You’ll co to on your own. Because I can see the future.”

Was this the future he saw? Amidst the many people dying and in pain, there were people I loved. No, this wasn’t horrible because my loved ones were dying, it was because these were innocent lives.

“Is there any way to stop this? There must be since you keep reminding of death. Right?”

“…..”

“… Will you save these innocent lives if I beco yours?”

Slowly, he raised his head. Groans of pain resonated throughout the hall.

“If you find aning in them living for a few days, I will.”

Castor spoke gently yet firmly.

“Nobody would be able to live in destroyed lands anyway.”

He lowered his waist before caressing my cheek, touching as if I was fragile.

“Other than you and , I an.”

Eyes holding different warmths t. I narrowed the distance between us.

“Castor. That kind of life ans nothing to .”

“The way you call my na is music to my ears. I want to hear it forever.”

”Castor.”

The na I loathed the most, the na I gritted my teeth as though I was sharpening my sword with them to utter. I stared at Soricks who was struggling not to raise his sword. I spotted Rebecca who had been seated next to , pointing a blade towards herself.

“Do you love ?”

He lifted the hands that had been resting on my cheek. This was my first ti seeing him flustered.

“You turned a blind eye to even when I cried for help and begged for rcy.”

He never failed to co and kill . Just as he did to , I wiped off the sweat on his face. Blood that had been partially hardened was left on my fingers.

From the mont he killed to the mont I would have my revenge. I was slowly taking after him. I had used my life to change the future and used my life to save people.

‘To be honest, I don’t feel particularly perturbed by this scene either.’

I have forgotten the importance of life. The fact that the lives of my loved ones were precious. My hope that they would never die. But why were theirs so precious?

“From you, I learnt to give up and be resigned. From so point on, I only lived with hate and vengeance as fuel.”

At so point, I had beco broken. I had taken my life for granted and treated it like a fly’s.

I had Fleon, Dane, Ray and Rebecca. I had gathered such kind people around but nevertheless, I continued to break piece by piece.

“At the rate I was going on, I might have turned out the sa as you. After slowly breaking… I ended up the way you wanted to.”

I could see him better now. The tyrant I could never understand, the cruel murderer. I could see him.

The fact that I now could ant that I had changed.

‘Like how when you stare into the abyss, it would stare back at you?’

A part of had been stained by him as I tried to catch him.

“But Castor. We might be similar but I don’t think we can ever be the sa. Do you know why?”

A bright purple flower blood at the tips of my fingers. The light that gradually spread throughout the hall created an intense beam of light.

Castor hurriedly retreated.

“Even when I was stuck in despair, I was never alone.”

Just then. Through a cluster of purple lights, a mysterious green one pierced through. Hundreds of vines rushed through the cracks in the doors.

Vines even managed to enter through windows, and even the walls and the ceiling to immobilise the templars. Those who did not stop and tried to resist were forced motionless by the roots that burst through the floor.

The door swung open.

Soone stumbled into this bloody landscape. His white tunic sparkled as his interestingly sky-coloured hair fluttered in waves.

The man lowered his head.

“It’s been a while.”

Flowers blood on all the stalks present in the room.

“Brother.”

The sight of flowers in bloom. And there Amor was, standing in the middle of it all. He looked up to stare at Castor who was standing on the steps.

“Amor.”

Amor tilted his head slightly upon Castor’s call. A piercing smile spread on his face.

“The 4th Branch, Amor Noche Kaltanias. You’re a little late for the ceremony.”
