"You said I killed him? Why did I do that?"
Ren's past was like a blank canvas for Eren. He had only heard about the past of Ren Necroline indirectly. For so people, he was the worst criminal to ever exist. For others, he was a myth that never actually existed.
Other than the Devourer, there was not a single person that seed to hold any good feelings toward Ren Necroline. The four Overlords of this world even ca together to kill him.
Thanks to Kelia, he finally had an opportunity to glimpse Ren Necroline's past which began in the Necromancer Tower with the death of Zephyr Necroline.
"No one actually knows why you did it, but it's believed that you did it to take the position of the heir from him. You were just three years old at that ti after all."
Kelia's answer made Eren's jaws drop. He was just three years old when he killed a person? Just what nonsense was she spouting? Or rather, just how absurd was Ren Necroline?
"How could a person be killed by a three year old child? Was Zephyr a fool? He could survive Hell, but he couldn't survive a three year old child?"
He almost wanted to facepalm himself.
"How old was that fool?" Eren asked the girl, only to receive just as shocking an answer.
"He was your twin brother, so he was also three years old."
Eren didn't know how to respond. The first person he killed was his twin brother when he was just three years old? At that age, children could barely speak properly. How could he do sothing like that?
"Are you sure you aren't exaggerating an accident?" he asked.
If his twin brother died, it might as well be an accident. He might have nothing to do with it. How could he? Which idiot would bla a three year old child for a murder?
"There was a knife in your hand which was stained with your brother's blood. Does master really think that it was an accident?" Kelia asked in response.
"Maybe soone killed him and placed the dagger in my hand?"
"There was a recording orb in the room. It was also verified that there was no manipulation in the recording. Since your brother was already dead by the ti others reached there, nothing could be changed."
"Although he was born with a better physique, more suitable for Necromancy, he died in your hands. With the only child left, you beca the heir of the Necromancer Tower."
Eren would've suspected Kelia of lying if it wasn't for the control of the mask. She was quite confident about her statent, which made him believe that her words might actually be the truth.
No matter how absurd the possibility, he killed his brother to take the heir position of the Necromancer Tower? That was truly what a villain would do. Was Ren Necroline actually a villain? He still felt like sothing was amiss.
"So even after I killed my brother, I was selected as the heir? Then why-"

Eren wanted to ask more about the situation and even about the future years of Ren Necroline when he heard the sound of footsteps from outside the cell.
The footsteps sounded extrely rushed as people were rushing towards the cell. He also understood why that was the case.
If anything, these people were quite fast. Normally, the Necromancer Tower shouldn't have believed a random girl who claid that the Left Guardian was hurt while investigating a re Servant.
"I'm sure you know what to do." He took a step back and closed his eyes.
Kelia also quickly reached and placed her finger on Eren's forehead. She just touched him but didn't do anything else.
Soon, the guards rushed inside. All of them noticed that Kelia looked perfectly fine. She wasn't pale as described by Ruby. There was also no trace of blood.
If anything, she appeared imrsed in soul searching. It was Eren who was pale, appearing to be in extre pain.
After a few seconds, Kelia slowly opened her eyes and retracted her hand.
"What a waste of my ti. There was nothing worth interest in his mories," she complained, appearing quite frustrated.
She soon reacted to the appearance of the Hall Masters in this place. Under her cold gaze, the hall masters froze, wondering why they even ca here.
They were truly fools to worry about this monster. Nothing could go wrong with her after all.
"If you don't give a good reason for being a distraction here, I might do sothing that you will regret," Kelia told the Hall Masters.
Her behavior towards Eren had changed, thanks to the influence of the wooden mask. However, her behavior towards everything else was the sa. Her personality hadn't changed.
"We were inford that you were hurt. We ca here to check." One of the brave hall masters answered while explaining the entire situation.
"Hoh? Since when did I need you to start worrying about ? Even if soone tells you so nonsense, you believe them? It seems that you have too much free ti, right?"
All the hall masters felt suppressed under the fierce gaze of the woman. They all wanted to bla Ruby but in this situation, they couldn't even move an inch without the permission of the left guardian.
Ruby was in an even worse condition. She was certain about the things that she had seen. So how could the reality be different? Did she really imagine things? She couldn't understand what actually happened.
Still, she was wise enough to understand what to do. She imdiately dropped to her knees.
"It was my mistake. I misunderstood the situation as it is my first ti in the Necromancer Tower. I shouldn't have been wiser." The girl remained on her knees, not even daring to look in the eyes of the Left Guardian.
The hall masters also followed the lead and started apologizing to the Left Guardian. They didn't even wait for Kelia's response before running away like their tails were on fire.
