Ren & Rena: World Heroes Legend

Chapter 23 Grigori Yefimovic Rasputin

Still unaware of the moss whiskers under my nose, I took over the topic of discussion between the two of us.

"By the way, about mystical things ... do you know about Rasputin?"

Rena who was still unconscious or maybe just let the moss moustache that was under my nose, ascertained the character I was referring to.

"Grigori Yefimovic Rasputin from Russia?"

I nodded in response.

Rena started asking me.

"Why with him?"

"Aren't you curious about the mysterious things associated with it."

Rena showed a little interest through her words.

"Well .. actually, I'm a little interested. Do you know anything about him?"

"Little."

Hearing my answer, he looked at me as if there was trash in front of him.

Come on, I have a really bad memory. Please don't force my head to remember all sorts of information! If it continues to be forced, my head may explode later.

I started to explain what I remembered to him.

"Grigori Yefimovic Rasputin, known as 'The Mad Monk', was also an important person during the reign of the monarchy, Tsar Nicholas II."

Hearing my explanation, Rena's eyes began to shine brightly.

Didn't you look down on me? Basic labile.

I stopped my explanation with a long enough pause.

Feeling unable to wait, Rena asked me.

"Why did you stop?"

"I'm not a storyteller who'll tell you until you're sound asleep."

He immediately insinuated me.

"Basic stingy."

A tickle? Me? Got to! Because that stingy guy gets rich quick, you know?!

I answered the insinuation.

"How about you continue my explanation."

As if to challenge her, I looked at Rena confidently to have her hooked.

Instead of refusing and running away, Rena quickly accepted my challenge.

"Well, I'll continue."

I'm inviting.

"Please."

After once cleared his throat, Renapun continued my explanation of Rasputin earlier.

"... Rasputin's life span was 1869-1916 or more precisely, 47 years. The most striking thing in his life was the frequent failure of the assassination attempt on Rasputin. Not to forget also about the mystery of his death who was shot and drowned to death."

All of his explanations were true but, there were still some points lacking.

I added the point after he finished explaining.

"And lastly, the collapse of the monarchy after his death by the nobles."

Rena's face looks unhappy.

"Is something wrong?"

"You cut my explanation."

"Which part is lacking?"

Even that thing you want to talk about?! How far is your love for Rasputin? Why don't you just marry the tombstone, seriously!

I gave her my opinion.

"Maybe it's better not to talk about it."

"Are you scared?"

He looked at me like he was imitating what I was doing.

I sighed deeply and then said, "One."

He was immediately excited and presented a case to me, leaning his face in front of me.

"What about the final case that got him killed?"

Our faces were so close that they were less than 10 inches away, but I felt nothing for them.

I put her face away with my hand and said, "You're too excited. About that, what do you want to discuss?"

"Firing and the sinking of Rasputin."

Of course that is what he will say, the two things are interconnected but not with the cause of Rasputin's death. I mean, the autopsy results of Rasputin's body were that he died from oxygen exhaustion and not from being shot. But, there are also rumors that said that he was dead first because he was shot in the head.

The strangest thing about it all is that if you follow the second rumor, how can Rasputin catch up to the shooter if he gets shot in the head?

Before voicing my opinion, I asked Rena's opinion.

"What do you think of these two things?"

"Not related."

He was right, in case the death had nothing to do.

If he was shot, there was no way he could still catch up to the shooter. It would be more natural if the story sounds like, he was shot in the body and drowned. However, that was also not the answer as the autopsy results simply said that he was running out of oxygen.

I asked Rena to continue her words.

"Then?"

"I don't think his death was such a simple thing, he was already a scapegoat and was framed by the nobles to death."

I became interested in his opinion, this is even beyond the theory of most people.

So, I tried to guess what the girl was thinking.

"So, you want to say that there was a conspiracy to his death."

Rena nodded towards my words then continued her opinion.

"Maybe it's like, they're making his death as the bells of the beginning of the destruction of the monarchy's system of government."

That is, Rena assumed that her death was not caused by a trap or without cause. The death was shown as if it were being framed by nobles and creating all sorts of mysteries in the future. Rena's conspiracy theories can actually break some mysteries.

There are mystical rumors about Rasputin.

Failure in the attempted murder of him.

Lastly, the collapse of the monarchy after his death is told there was a letter he left to the emperor at that time.

First, the mythical rumors were deliberately fabricated and then began to spread. Second, the deliberate failure of the attempted murder case. Lastly, his death was a mystery for the future when behind all that there was a great conspiracy against the collapse of the monarchical system of government at that time.

I explained that to Rena.

Rena's face turned pale like a dead fish.

Feeling worried, I decided to ask Rena.

"Do you feel pain?"

"Yes, a little."

After that, we stopped talking about Rasputin.

To the end, I was still unconscious with a moss moustache still stuck under my nose.
