The Eternal Debauchery's

transactions

Ysnay, Evelyn, Dina, and I were in the carriage on the way to the palace. The others stayed behind to take care after today's incident.

Some power plants guard the trains. Normal people would think they were there to protect us.

Actually, their goal here was to stop us from escaping.

In other words, we are prisoners.

Even though it's normal. Our operation ended causing the deaths of two thousand people just in the capital. And the number was hundreds of times greater around the empire.

Even if the emperor did not know about the deaths in the entire empire, two thousand deaths in the capital was enough for him to send us to the pillar.

After all, someone has to be responsible for this.

And we are the perfect scapegoat. In fact, I'm pretty sure the emperor is celebrating in the palace right now. He finally found an opportunity to get rid of us.

To be honest, the situation is quite serious. Two thousand deaths was not something that even emperors could shrug their shoulders easily.

It could be seen from the fact that the twelfth-tier powerhouse was escorting our carriage. According to my observations, he is from Hidden History.

And Hidden History only acted when they felt the existence of the empire was being threatened.

In other words, two thousand deaths in the capital, plus hundreds of thousands of deaths around the empire were enough for them to make a move.

I'm not worried, of course, I've prepared precautions for this situation.

But first…

“Ysnay, erase the memories of everyone who witnessed me facing the Eternal except those who were close to me. Also, eliminate information about Immortal.”

“Mm?” Ysnay raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“It's too early to reveal my true strength. Plus, if too many people knew about it, the information could reach Emilia's ears through spying. I'd be totally screwed if that happened. "I said.

Ysnay nodded. "I understand. Should I also eliminate all of these problems for you? I can erase the fate of the people who died today. It will be as if they never existed.”

“It is not necessary.” I shook my head. "I've got a plan to use this death."

Ysnay shrugged. He then snapped his finger and smiled.

"Done."

… Very fast.

I don't even feel anything.

“... Your control over destiny is extraordinary as always, Ysnay.” I said.

"thank you. By the way, this help will burden you a little.”

“Mm?” i'm appalled.

“Don't look at me like that. I'll do it for free if I'm your woman, but you refuse to accept me, so I don't think it's wrong to charge a small price for this.”.

“... Isn't that the point where you helped me unconditionally to show your value and make me fall in love with you again?” I said.

"Hahahaha, come on, we both know it's not gonna work."

… Yeah, he's right.

Besides, it's not a bad idea.

Quite the contrary, it was very good.

I don't want to owe Ysnay anything if possible. And if we make our relationship purely based on interests, I won't feel bad if I have to kill him later.

But-the

"How much?"

"i'll tell you later." Ysnay smiled mysteriously.

I narrowed my eyes. It's suspicious.

"You know that there are some things I won't do no matter how much I owe you, right?" I said indifferently.

"Of course, of course, I know my limits." Ysnay chuckles. “Don't worry, it's not something that will affect you or those close to you. Mm... How about this? This time I will help you for free, but next time you need my help, you will have to pay me with something.”

… How suspicious.

Is he planning something?

I thought for a moment and finally, I decided to agree to this moment.

"OK…"

"That's a deal." Ysnay smiled happily.

I want to know what he's up to. I need to be more careful of him.

The worst part is that I can't just kill him. Ysnay's way to Eternity will only allow him to bounce back somewhere, and by then, I won't be able to keep an eye on his actions. Besides, we'll actually turn against each other.

And I don't need more enemies now.

Well, I'll only pay the price he asks if I think it makes sense.

While I was deep in thought, I felt a complicated gaze fall on me. As I followed that gaze, I found Dina looking at me and Ysnay strangely.

Dina opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just shook her head.

I smiled wryly.

It seems like my brother's mood is a bit complicated now. Haaa.

Even though it's normal. She has just learned that her beloved brother is not who she thinks he is.

Although he already knew I was keeping some secrets, he could not help feeling sad when he learned this secret was bigger than anything he had imagined.

Moreover, it was clear that Evelyn and Ysnay knew more than her about my secret, causing my sister to feel worse.

I let out a breath. I then grabbed her hand gently and smiled at her.

"Sister, is something wrong?" i asked.

Dina stared straight into my eyes for a few seconds. Then, he sighed.

“... Claus, about what happened today..”.

“... Please wait a minute longer. I don't want to burden you with this right now.I'll explain everything to you when I think you're ready.”

“... brother, just answer something... Am I a burden to you?” dina.

I furrowed my eyebrows. I then looked at Ysnay coldly.

It was his fault for saying unnecessary things.

Sighing again, I smiled at my brother.

“How can you be a burden to me? Don't you know how much I love you, sister? To me, helping you is my happiness.”

Dina blushed and threw away her face. However, his lips curved up forming a happy smile.

“... Very cliche.” Evelyn muttered dissatisfiedly.

I gave him a tingly look. "Are you jealous, principal?"

Evelyn snorted and ignored me. Hey, why is this girl angry with me?

I wanted to ask him what was going on, but the carriage arrived at the palace at that moment.

Then, the twelfth-tier practitioner escorting us opened the carriage door and bowed.

"Please follow me."

We followed him obediently up to the palace hall. There, the emperor sat on the throne waiting for us.

Several ministers and important people stood on either side of the hall, and each of them looked towards us as soon as we appeared.

I could feel that some of these gazes were filled with pride. One of them, in particular, came from Earl Riea. It seems he is enjoying our misfortune.

I smiled and nodded at him, not caring about his expression. The Earl snorted and threw his face away. However, he seemed ready to enjoy a good show.

Father-in-law, how much do you hate me?

Well, even my father looks in a good mood, as if he can't wait to punish me to death. What can I expect from my father-in-law?

all right, let's see the show.

The emperor looked at Evelyn, Dina, Ysnay, and me and asked in an icy tone.

"Speak, what do you have to say to defend you?"
