Ling Yue heard approaching. She turned to look in the direction I ca from. She opened her eyes and looked over with her blood-red eyes. Despite knowing how her eyes looked, I was still slightly frightened in that instant. Ling Yue gently shook out her fur and questioned, So, whats your final decision? How are you going to deal with these things?
Destroy the entire city.
I caressed Ling Yues leg. She looked at with mixed emotions then sighed. She softly asked, Do you really have to destroy this place?
I have no choice. I cant allow a single one of them to escape. If even a single one of them reaches humanity, itll be disastrous. I cant take the risk. I know that destroying this entire city is cruel and ruthless, but I dont have a choice. For the majority, for this world and for your sakes, I wont hesitate to pay any price. Let shoulder it all. I no longer feel anything; Ive finally realised that now. Ling Yue, I said Id destroy this city, which ans that Im going to murder thirty thousand people, yet I dont feel anything. Can you understand that? Ling Yue, Ill be carrying the weight of thirty thousand lives, yet I dont feel scared or worried whatsoever. Im as calm as if Im about to have a daily al. How frightening, huh?
Ling Yue gently leaned her head over and licked my face. In a quiet voice, she replied, It cant be helped. Youre a King. You dont see just one or two people or a city or two. What you should be looking at is the entire world, this entire nation. No matter what happens to you or what you have to shoulder, Ill always stand by your side. Youre my husband, and I know what you did. You dont need the entire world to know what exactly you did. Only you need to know what you did. A King isnt soone who does what everyone considers to be correct. Because you stand alone, you need to always be aware that what youre doing is right, and thats all that matters.
True.
I wasnt a democrat. I was a dictator. I didnt ask for anyones approval when I acted. Nobody would know my reasons for doing what I do. Id be the only one who knew. I had no need to explain what happened to everyone. I protected the world that I had and those around . Nevertheless, sotis, protecting oneself ans that others would get hurt in the process. I had to destroy whatever I wanted to protect. That was my misery and what I had to do.
What would they think when they saw the burnt city? What would they think of ? Previously, I used ice to wipe out the entire anthropoid army. Today, the entire continent would be able to see the fire I set to Troy City. What exactly did I leave behind? What exactly did I accomplish?
I didnt need to think about so much, and I had no way of explaining it clearly. All I needed to ensure was that I, alone, understood and was aware of what I did. After all, everyone in the North, all the elves at Duargana and all the people at Hilles City were just marionettes. I just wanted to ensure the puppeteer who controlled them was a wise puppeteer. That was enough to .
Have you made up your mind? If Vyvyan was in your shoes, shed have already made up her mind. You may be her son, but it appears you arent as resolute as her. Vyvyan doesnt kill people at random. When she does feel that she must kill in order to protect sothing that must be protected, though, shell protect it no matter the cost and walk her own path. As she always remains rational, she always takes the right course of action. The sa can be said for you in that aspect. You know what youre doing is right, so why hesitate? What, because of that one thing they said? So what if you make everyone fear you? Youre doing the right thing. Since youre doing the right thing, why must you concern yourself with how others perceive you?
Im not worried about others
Are you worried about yourself?
What exactly has happened to ?
I looked at my hand. It was my hand, yet it looked foreign to . I actually even hated it, as a matter of fact. When I first went through ordeals with Nier I admonished her, only for her to reproach . I didnt have to kill. Or rather, I grew addicted to the sensation of killing people. The first ti I experienced the joy of taking from others. The first ti I killed, I felt a strange ecstatic feeling when I saw him plead for rcy in despair and heard his cries. I unarguably changed. I totally changed into soone I began to feel disgusted with. Nier was right. I beca hysterical. I used protecting others as an excuse to take from others. I went to extres to protect what I wanted to protect.
Thirty thousand people. I had to do my best to make them the last thirty thousand people. I planned to build Troy City up again after I tore it asunder. Next ti, however, I wouldnt let the next thirty thousand et the sa fate. I didnt do anything for thirty thousand people. Although I was busy protecting people, I didnt add them to the to-be-protected list. The pope was right. I never thought about saving them. I considered Troy City to be important, but I never considered the thirty thousand people to be important. What seed to be their mistake was, in actual fact, my mistake. I failed to protect the people I considered to be my citizens.
In that case, leave it all to . I know you cant bear to do it, so shut your eyes, and let use your body. Ill destroy the city. You wont feel guilty then, right? Of course, I promised that I wouldnt do anything uncalled for or go too far. Oh, by the way, I do want to hug that city little fox, though. Thats fine with you, right?
No.
Why are you so petty?! Its your body that Im hugging her with anyway!!
I ant that I dont want to shut my eyes. You can use my body to cast spells, but I want to see and rember it forever. My decisions led to the deaths of thirty thousand people, but I have to kill them. Its contradictory. Still, I want to use this as a reminder to remind myself of what I should do.
I see Well, as long as you let hug the little fox, I dont care either way. In saying that, dont do anything that will sadden your family, and youll be fine. Make sure to listen to others from now on. Whatever happens, calm down and assess the course of action you should take first.
