Chapter 57's
...* * *...
“I am not baptized.”
Evan said he had not been baptized. And, at the time, I thought Duke Icard was too indifferent.
“Actually... I've long wanted to get holy objects.”.
…I wonder why he wants to obtain a sacred relic that is useless to the general public.
Sven kept explaining to me that there was little room for black magic to be abused.
“First of all, ordinary people are also baptized these days, and holy relics are considered the life of the priest. It is difficult to meet any requirements. ”
He seemed to have forgotten that there was a contradiction in his words because he was in a hurry to explain his general idea to me due to time constraints.
He then tried to seduce me with bait so he could revive the dead, but the storyline continued, saying, 'Actually it's not that easy.' But for now, it doesn't matter to me.
“...Sven,” I asked with a bit of confusion.
“It.... dark magic of reviving people... Is it famous?”
"Of course not."
He shook his head.
“Yeah, I only know because I've been working on it for a long time. Although most people do not know because black magic itself is also taboo.”
I took a deep breath.
"It is said only in Carovantes that black magic can revive the dead."
“I've been to Carovantes for a while as a child.”
Duke Icard had clearly said that at the temple earlier. So, he probably knew from childhood that black magic could revive the dead…
“Evan and I will also be happy in the end. With other important solutions.”
On the night of the Ludva incident, Duke Icard clearly stated so.
“...If all my plans go my way, all the wrong things will return to normal. So, I can't stop now.”
Things will go back to where they should be... The fact that I look up important solutions. Now, all those puzzles were slowly put together.
“If I do better, I can reverse everything.”
Ah.. Duke Icard is really trying to undo it all.
“...If I can go back, I want to be a very good father to Evan from the beginning.”
I quickly found out the truth. Duke Icard recalls the black magic he heard in Carovantes as a child after Matilda died. She was unable to take care of Evan because she had lost her mind about it. Duke Icard, of course, is not a black magician.
Thus, in order to practice black magic, it was necessary to control the nobles and the Imperial Family. Therefore, he was trying to control both. Especially, in the case of the Imperial Family, as it was extremely rare for black magic to be allowed to summon demons.
It is only natural that black magic, which undermines the world order, should not be allowed to.
It was something that he could not even ask for unless he became a person who had significant influence after marriage.
“That's a fact no one knows. You should also keep it a secret.”
No one knew that Evan was not baptized. Furthermore, the Duke also searched for the holy relic in secret. Besides, Marcel and I were completely silent about sacred things, so it was clear that even Sven had no idea that Duke Icard was interested in black magic.
“We don't know much about the infinite world of black magic yet. However, one thing is certain.”
Meanwhile, Sven continued on without knowing what I was thinking.
“When our organization and the powerful Black Witch join hands, we will become the real ruler of the world.”
'Wow-'
It was a line like an evil mastermind who seemed too enthusiastic to manipulate the world and ended up failing ...
"Miss Laria could be our great Master."
"Why aren't you looking for another black magician, rather than someone like me who isn't interested in such things?"
“Only a few great black magicians make the devil react because everyone is trash who secretly make reagents.”
“In fact, you don't have to be the owner of the world. I would love to stay in the world of black magic.”
Sven spoke with great respect with both hands held together.
I noticed his identity. In the world from my previous life, some people enthusiastically explored weapons and military warfare, and they called themselves 'Mildeok.' And, from what I know, Sven is very similar physically to those people.
[T/N: Mildeok is an abbreviation of the Korean word '- ⁇ - ⁇ ' which can be translated as military geek]
From what I know, Sven is very similar in material terms to those people. So, in short, Sven must be a black magician.
"…I'll think about it."
At that moment, I replied bluntly.
First of all, I never really expected an awkward topic like black magic to be raised like this.
“By the way, I guess I should know black magic.”
Moreover, I was secretly uncomfortable with the fact that Neo, the personification of demons, was responding to me. No matter how annoying I live, I don't think it's enough for the devil to want to talk to me ...
In that case, could that be the reason why I was injured when I was blessed?
'Black magic…'
Anyway, I can't close my eyes to this.
First, it has something to do with Duke Icard's secret, and secondly, I still need the Vestian Dark Information Guild. Thirdly... Obviously, it probably has something to do with my body.
'Although what if I was born with the qualities of a true dark magician? Even if I don't have a villain, I actually have a Black Witch? Did Laria die without knowing her talent in the original book? Then... I will really conquer the world?'
Is it my destiny to be strong, not a villain, a female lead, or a male lead?
"It's not sudden, but I understand what you're talking about" I said, tripping over. There were so many things that I suddenly discovered unexpectedly.
“Meong~”
When I looked up, Neo clung to me and looked at me with puppy-like eyes.
"Gosh my god."
Serena uttered with her head tilted.
“I think Neo wants to be with Miss Laria..”.
“Meoooow~”
As Neo nodded, Sven made the face of the abandoned butler.
"Sorry."
No matter how evil it was, there was no denying that it looked funny, so I patted Neo's head gently.
“I'm busy taking care of myself now. Come when it's time for me to be a little lonely and bond with someone.”
“Meoow~ Meow~”
Finally, Neo sadly turned to Sven as if he understood.
“A long time ago. Evan might find me, so I'm leaving now.”
"Of course…"
Sven hurriedly hugged Neo and replied, “Stay, you can say no. Miss Laria is my mother's benefactor. ”
She seemed to be talking about how her mother could avoid the fire in the building she was living in, thanks to me.
“Even if you don't like it, of course, I will do my best for whatever Miss Laria asks. But, I'm telling you because I really want to be with you.”
Despite this, Sven's sincere words did not reach me.
“OK.. Indeed.”.
He was trying to save the dead, that's what Duke Icard wanted to do.
'If Matilda really comes back to life, will everything really go back to normal...?'
Didn't that ultimately fail in the original story?
I didn't make a mistake, though somehow, I still felt uncomfortable somewhere in my mind.
'But, why the hell? For what?'
I don't understand it myself either.
