The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory

Chapter 126 - Your Name is the Form of Promise

..."If you do not keep your word, you are a hypocrite. I'm right, aren't I?"...

...~Grein de'Lavoisier~...

...----------------...

Ah, I'm getting sick of all this. When I accept and act like I'm okay without my family. There was nothing good after the day of the Lavoisier massacre and the execution of my brother.

Even I heard rumors that the Empress will be punished by Emperor Hortensia for alleged treason. Perhaps the woman has now been discovered as a Lavoisier.

The point is, at any time love will lose from revenge. So never think of using your feelings of love as your strongest shield. It will only cause deep heartache.

...****...

Hundreds of years have passed since the worst day of my life. I began to organize my life from the beginning again, as I once said to my sister even though she ignored it.

There's nothing I've done so far other than exploring avoiding humans who are allergic to Lavoisier. I don't know, when Ivory lived a long time ago. But they still pass on the full story of lies to their grandchildren.

An unhealthy life.

Even though I once said that vengeance would only lead to another grudge. I began to feel as if my heart was blackened.

It's all been aggravated by every sight I've seen out there. Their harmony almost wipes out the reality if they're the ones who took away my happiness.

But, even though I was upset and not willing to let them be happy on Lavoisier's death. I'm still looking for a way to get rid of the black magic that Ivory spread at Crater's request.

I know everything.

I just kept quiet and acted like I didn't know anything.

The incident where Crater asked for peace through black magic on Ivory, I knew it clearly though not by looking at them directly.

Basically, the peace that exists in this world is just a cover. Originally, the opposite of this world was brightly lit. Behind it is a bitter reality that is not necessarily acceptable to everyone.

This peace is a fake.

In order to make it original, I must absorb the black magic that exists in the Herbras Continent. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it yet. For hundreds of years of my life, there has been no progress.

"Hm.. hm..."

As I sat on the usual banyan tree I came to which was surrounded by a stretch of white roses. I heard a woman humming on the reverse side of this tree. His voice was so sweet and moving. As if it could make me fall asleep in a beautiful dream.

Out of curiosity, I peeked to the side next to this tree.

There was a woman with a camellia-colored silk mane leaning there. He also gently stroked the white cat that was on his lap. His eyes closed while continuing to sing his song.

Unknowingly, I was getting closer to him. And to the point where my face and his face were separated by a finger. Really, I was too intoxicated by the charm of his voice.

Both of his eyes slowly lifted. Showing a beautiful pearl-colored gem that is very shiny under the afternoon sky. I have not moved from my position at all.

"Hm?"

The girl stopped humming, she was surprised to see my face so close. That's cute. The way he was shocked was like that cat in his lap.

But I regretted all my praise for him when I felt like five fingers were coming into contact with my cheek.

PLAQUES

"Yeah! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PERVERTED?!"

...****...

I rubbed my throbbing cheeks, as if screaming in pain. While the look on my face did not change in the slightest as if - the slap just now was just a small thing.

Gadia herself crossed her hands in front of her chest while looking at me ferociously. Wow, even her eyes were still beautiful when she was angry.

No, wait.

Why do I sound like a masochist now? Just ignore.

"Don't misunderstand, miss. I'm only interested in your voice." I said with a tone of voice that was no less calm than my face. In short, I still refuse to express myself.

"Bajing*n else will also say that!" His shout, still eliminating both of his hands in front of his chest.

Oi. That's rough. Even when I saw your face that was not scratched in the slightest, there was no dirty thing whatsoever that I thought of. Seriously, from the beginning I was only interested in your voice.

I pushed myself further away from him. But there was no intention for me to leave the banyan tree where I used to relax. He's the one who should have left because I didn't accept anyone new.

But now he's the one who's even being rude to me. He looked at me probing, acting like I was a criminal here. I'm not a dark criminal*n, okay?! So stop looking at me with that condescending look!

"Are you a Lavoisier?"

He's? What say? Lavoisier?

Without realizing it, I forgot to change the color of my eyes. Usually I won't forget this fatal thing. Shit, he knew my identity before I knew what his name was. The situation is unfair.

"You got a problem with that?" I sniffed in annoyance.

"I think in those boring stories you've been slaughtered. Even the last person was burned down a lot - crowded in the white territory." Say it in plain tone.

Is he too naive or what?

I stared at him flatly. Honestly, if anyone brings up - reveal Lavoisier's very dark history. Usually I was too lazy to serve him and would leave him alone while I dived to the bottom of the lake to calm down.

But for now, there are things I cannot miss from him.

Lavoisier's ruby eyes are the most special and perfect among other eyeballs. They can see through anything and manipulate a person's brain or more.

From earlier his body absorbed the dark smoke that I could guess was black magic. While the girl now really did not feel that she was absorbing black magic.

Hey, will my trip end after finding her? I can use that great ability to solve the deceit of this world. Peace will be achieved in real terms.

"What's your name?" I asked spontaneously.

"What about you, sir? All I know is your name is Lavoisier, it's. Hehe~"

"Yes. My name is Zavius de'Lavoisier."

For the time being. Let it all go this way.

...****...

It's been a month since I got to know Lyserith. It turned out that the girl was so cute and so cheerful. Slowly - I began to carry out my plan to involve him in the mission of eliminating black magic.

I even told him the special ability he had. Don't know how it goes, but so far he's always come to this place. Maybe he still thinks my story is rational.

But it was also in my mind.

Did Lyz really listen to me or did he just give me an ear in my honor?

"Zavius? Zavius!"

Uwahs. You don't have to scream. I can hear your crisp voice even from a long distance away. Because he was noisy, I better just continue to pura - pura sleep. After all, don't call me Zavius out loud. What if someone else heard it and executed me too?

Lyz sat next to me. I glanced at him, he was pulling something out of his bag. And that was the white rose she had just picked.

Stop picking up wild flowers in this garden. Although he does need white roses as an intermediary, anyway. So diligent even the flower stalk is clean from thorns.

"You're really taking my words seriously, eh?"

Lyz looked at me.

"You know? I'm doing this to solve the world's problems without slipping into a big lie."

I was a little impressed with his decision which was in line with what I had planned. But somehow, the closer I got to the truth, the more I felt afraid. At least Lyz is like my sister who always accompanies me at all times.

Since the beginning of this girl her work is just slow - hanging.

"I thought you'd think I was lying."

"Hehe. There's no reason not to help you. After all, I am just an unemployed person who likes to do anything. Spending my time helping you isn't a big deal at all."

"Yet..." I hung my words.

"Hmm?"

"This job is not easy. I warned you about this." I said firmly.

Since I began to feel comfortable in his presence in my life. I want to put my original plan aside. Really, I just couldn't waste my precious life being with him.

"Just calm down, Zavius. I will be with you whenever you need me. As long as you don't say something that means you hate me. I won't leave you either!"

I smiled gently at him.

"I would never say such a thing to you."

"....Lyserite. Actually, I..."

"yeah? What do you want to say?"

I swallowed my saliva heavily. Something was blocking my voice from coming out.

"Can you promise me?"

"certain. I have always been able to hold onto my words! So, when I said I'd help you. I'll do it until it's all over."

Back I was stunned to hear and see all his determination. This banyan tree and rose garden bear silent witness to the little covenant I made with him.

"May I give you a name?"

"Name? I already have it."

"I mean last name."

Lyz frowned. Maybe in his mind he felt strange about the topic I brought with me suddenly. Plus she was just an ordinary village girl, it was impossible for her to have a last name. He would be laughed at for imitating the nobles.

"For what?"

"Form your promise." I said briefly.

"Huh?"

I took his hands and cupped them in my hands. I slowly pressed the part where his veins were. I pulled the corner of my lips up.

"Your name is a form of your promise today. Didn't you promise to help me get everything done?"

Lyz nodded slowly.

"I promise to absorb this black magic until it disappears completely. If I die half my way. And if there's another life after this. Then I'll finish it in my next life." He said determinedly, he said his promise a little nervously.

Lyz was actually a bit overdone in his promise. He brought - bring the next life, but if you want he may not need to be tied to the task of this world just because the color of his eyes is pearl.

He's tied up in a miserable life cycle.

"From today your name is..."

The more I quote my smile when I see his face that still shows a burning determination - blazing.

"...Lyserith Scoleth's."
