“Did he aim for Regen because I was in the castle?”
Aedis’s eyes contorted.
“Eve, it’s not your fault.”
He saw into my heart.
The blue eyes were so cold that it was terrifying.
But knowing that it wasn’t anger towards , instead of shrinking, I just beca honest.
“I know. Just. I’m so angry.”
I put my twitching hand on the table.
The day I ca back from a tour of the territory, I suddenly rembered Regen, who followed and raised both hands on the table.
“……Aedis, why did it happen outside the castle? You said that you’re sure it’s that person’s work? I didn’t feel that kind of gaze in the castle, so I thought it was strange.”
“It’s my ‘base’. Just as he cannot exercise influence in Cyclan Castle, I cannot enter the desert, his stronghold. There are such restrictions. That’s why we wait for him to approach Gilbert and Regen to retrieve them.”
The Red Desert is another desert within the desert.
To get there, you have to cross the continent.
It was shocking to see that he was holding Regen from such a distance.
How the hell am I supposed to get revenge on that bastard?
It was not easy to control my emotions. My eyebrows and eyes kept trembling.
There may be a possibility if I use all the blood of the beast I have at once, but…… it would be better to leave this as a last resort.
Hooo.
I sighed and exhaled again.
Aedis looked at as I was trying to calm down and said.
“Eve, I have sothing to tell you.”
“……”
I opened my eyes to the fullest and set my gaze on Aedis.
My husband had a sculptural face. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“Stay away from until I deal with him.”
I cut off his words.
“Aedis, if you say that one more ti, I’ll kiss you.”
Aedis pursed his lips.
I glared at Aedis very intently.
“I’m not getting a divorce. Don’t even die. Don’t do anything. I’d rather be locked up in a castle. I won’t beco a burden.”
Soon, Aedis’s eyes softened.
“I didn’t an to get a divorce. Of course I didn’t an to stay in the castle. And if Wife is a burden, what would be the position of my first son, who is the real burden? Please withdraw your words.”
I don’t know what Gilbert’s position is.
I didn’t break the boundaries.
“Then where were you going to send ?”
Aedis smiled as he raised his lips beautifully.
“I was trying to teach you how to whistle. Shouldn’t there be a slave wherever you go?”
A slave.
“Paimon is my friend.”
Even though I forced Paimon to sign the contract without telling him the details, Paimon was my only spirit friend.
My husband, who knows as well as I do, made fun of , saying that the terms in the contract were not to harm people.
“I’ve been thinking about it, but aren’t the words Wife and conscience the most distant in the world? It’s no fun for to see Wife like that.”
“Hey. Why is the conversation going like this?”
Aedis grinned and returned to the subject.
“Are you really okay? I’m confident he won’t hurt Wife, but I’m not confident I won’t hate him. I am so sorry that I have the sa blood as him.”
Aedis speaking with the title of ‘him’ felt unnatural.
“It’s okay. You are my husband, and if you give a chance, I will drain all the blood in his body. By the way, there is sothing I want to ask you.”
“Please speak.”
A smile oozed out of Aedis’s voice.
“It may or may not be insignificant…… “
“Anything.”
Aedis nodded his head. He suddenly seed to be in a good mood.
Hmm, I think Aedis’s comnts sounded pretty good too.
I asked what bothered .
“May I ask why you are calling him back? Do you have any other reason?”
If I had felt that it was simply because he didn’t want to call his brother’s na, I would have moved on.
However, Aedis was more calm than expected, calling him ‘he’.
Aedis replied with a glance that said ‘my wife is also sharp’.
“Yes. I’m not telling you on purpose. His na has a restriction. Just like mine.”
……Like what?
“It seems that the restriction imposed on mine did not work on Wife.”
Of course, I didn’t really understand what this ant.
“Did you have a restriction on your na? Why? How? Since when? Who placed it? Can’t you remove it?”
How many tis have I called Aedis’s na so far?
……All I know is that there were too many to count.
“Eve, you have too many questions.”
“Did you put it on each other?”
“Not that.”
Aedis continued to laugh and my eyes turned into grumpy triangles.
Aedis seduced with a voice that seed to have been coated in sugar.
“Eve, would you like to co closer?”
……Th-this is.
It was a waste of ti to answer, so I slipped onto Aedis’s lap.
“Thank you.”
As a married couple, I was a bit skeptical about whether I should be thanked for getting on his lap.
Aedis wrapped his arms around to keep from falling and continued explaining.
“Rember when I said that the experint he had done on himself was a failure? Imdiately after that, he was going to do an experint. To get perfect immortality. He has a success story like myself, so I guess he thought it would be okay if he just got the materials again.”
“The material is……”
“Everything that makes up the magical beast, including the abilities.”
I felt my body stiffen, so his hand was placed on my back.
He gently rubbed my back.
“Relax, Eve. That was 500 years ago.”
“……”
“He headed to the north, where there were far more demons than now, and I pursued him. All I had to do was kill him. I didn’t even notice the corpses of the beasts around or the rivers of blood.”
“……”
“But when I overtook him, I saw sothing.”
Aedis buried his head on my shoulder. I could feel his soft hair.
“The existence seed to have misunderstood and my brother as accomplices. It certainly seed to have grasped our blood ties. However, I had no intention of explaining it, so I ignored it, and then suddenly we were caught together. Our nas were restricted, and the places we used as our bases will not be able to be invaded.”
I leaned towards Aedis and listened to the story, then tilted my head.
“It must have been incredibly strong enough to still be effective?”
Aedis was the strongest in the background in〈Esralda’s Crescent〉, and his brother was tough.
But 500 years ago, there were more people?
Considering that the first Grand Duke Kalakis was also active around that ti, it ca to that it was an unusual era infested with monster-like humans.
Aedis laughed softly.
“It was not human.”
I-it tickles. My ear…… Don’t laugh in my ears.
My face felt like it was going to get hot, so I leaned back a bit and asked.
“Really?”
“It wasn’t a beast. It wasn’t even a spirit.”
“……”
“But it seed to fit all three descriptions.”
What was it?
Not a human, not a beast, not a spirit, but it was possible for it to put a ban on Aedis and his brother that won’t break even after 500 years?
I can’t get the feeling.
Even Aedis had a light tone, as if saying not to take it seriously.
“Maybe Paimon doesn’t even know. Even then, Paimon was in Eire Forest with the spirits under his command, so he must have picked up sothing.”
Lately, I have been missing Paimon a lot.
I resented my tongue for not being able to whistle, and rembered what Paimon had said.
-Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden? Well, of course he ca here. I need his help to completely break the seal.
– He?
-Yes, he. But I don’t think he is here now. I guess he went sowhere else.
Ahh.
Could it be that the ‘he’ who could unlock Paimon’s seal and the being Aedis spoke of are the sa person?
There was a possibility as it was easy for Aedis to break the seal placed by the first Grand Duke.
– Who is he?
– Both a spirit and a beast…… No one knows his true identity.
Hmm, I guess that’s right.
But even then, I thought about it, but again, it was an explanation that didn’t help much.
“Have your questions been answered?”
Anyway, I nodded my head, realizing why Aedis didn’t call his na.
Also, I feel like I shouldn’t be curious about his na.
It was okay to call Aedis’s na, but there was no guarantee that I would be okay when his brother’s na was called. I don’t want to take that risk. Aedis looked at as I rubbed my ear where his voice had reached.
“I have a question for you, too.”
“What?”
Sohow, I couldn’t help but prepare myself.
Aedis hasn’t asked yet, because I drank the blood of a beast to save Regen.
But my husband, who was going sowhere I didn’t know, asked a completely different question from what I expected.
“If I give you a bribe, will the duration of staying in our own rooms be shortened a little?”
Uh…… A bribe?
Waiting for my answer, Aedis had a very serious expression.
More than when talking about his brother or talking about the restrictions.
“…It depends?”
