Hey Guys, hey,
The last two chapters are somewhat controversial, with many of you wishing Ysnay happy, and others wishing him dead.
I like it, it means you're immersed in the story, so I feel a little proud of it.
About Ysnay, the plan goes deeper than you think. Much deeper. I'm sure many of you will be surprised to find out at the end of the novel. But I've said it many times before. She loves Claus so much, so she would never do anything to hurt him .. I guess? I'm not going to say more about his plan, because it's a strong spoiler.
Now, some of you expect that Claus should forgive Ysnay.
Let's put it this way. A man gets married, but one day he finds his wife having an affair. A few months later, they were in the process of divorce, but the wife did not want to divorce. He begged the man to forgive him, telling him it was a mistake and he never and never will do it again. However, the man refused to forgive her.
Is it wrong for a woman to apologize? sure doesn't. Everyone makes mistakes, and there is nothing wrong with expecting a second chance.
Did a man not forgive him? This isn't either. He's betrayed. He has the right to hate her and try to make her life with someone else.
So, neither Ysnay nor Claus were wrong, but it was Ysnay who made a mistake, so now he was just reaping what he sowed.
continue story.

The next morning, it was as if nothing had happened.
Ysnay doesn't do any weird actions or touch our topic anymore. He continued to act as usual, as if his determination last night was a lie.
But I knew he was starting to move.
In a sense, last night could be considered a declaration of war.
And although I'm not one hundred percent sure of Ysnay's plan, I was lucky, so I learned a lot.
I never expected a fate clone, though. The trick is new.
That's a pretty good trick. It was so good that it managed to outwit most of my previous preparations.
It was not strange for an immortal being to create a clone. It's pretty easy actually. But Ysnay's fate clone is rather special.
If it was a normal clone, with my ability over the soul, I would be able to see that part of his consciousness was used to control another body.
But this time, I didn't notice anything.
It was as if his main body and his clone were two completely separate entities.
Furthermore, she used her real body as a hood to hide her mock actions from my sight. That way, while I was distracted watching his main body actions, his clone would move behind the scenes, completing everything he needed to complete.
Such an arrangement is amazing. Worthy for its reputation as one of the best destiny users ever.
But unfortunately for her, the goddess of luck smiled at me this time.
Ysnay didn't know, but before she arrived in this world, I did something to Alice's soul.
I took a small part of his soul and kept it with me.
And through that, I could tell what Alice was doing.
Moreover, since Alice was also a user of fate, I hid my actions from fate to stop her from knowing what I was taking. However, it also meant that this was hidden from Ysnay.
It was something I did out of my caution towards the users of destiny. But I never expected it would surprise me this time.
In other words, I knew everything about his deal with the gods last night.
Of course, I wasn't naive enough to think that his plan was just like that. Ysnay is a plotter genius, one who is able to turn the most certain defeat into victory simply by twisting certain small facts. Looking through his plan was not so easy.
Even now, I'm not so sure about what the end goal is.
But the fact that I knew he was planning something would allow me to make more purposeful preparations.
I'm not sure how useful that will be.
But there are some things I can't understand.
Could he have wanted to prove me wrong? Does he want to prove to me that every seer will make the same choice when faced with the temptation of power?
Or maybe there is another hidden meaning behind his actions?
The second thing I don't understand is that Ysnay definitely knows that acting like this won't win points with me.
Quite the contrary, it would make me even more wary of his actions.
Then what is he planning?
What does he want to achieve?
… Cih, dealing with forecasters is exhausting.
I really don't want to do this.
But at this point, there was no turning back.
I am determined to achieve my goal. And to achieve my goal is to leave Ysnay.
As for Ysnay, she was determined to put herself into my life again, even if it meant going against me.
Suppressing the urge to sigh long again, I arrived at my destination today.
I will leave the capital tomorrow to go to the frontline against the daemons. So, there are a few things I need to do before I leave.
And one of them was visiting my fiancee, Clara.
I haven't seen him since we flirted at Bryan's funeral.
That's why I'm here.
The church headquarters.
Calmly, I got off the train and walked inside the church. The guards at the entrance looked at me strangely, but there was nothing stopping me.
As soon as I entered, I was taken by a nun to the living room deep inside the headquarters and told to wait there for a while.
After waiting for 15 minutes, the door of the guest room opened and Saintess Safelia entered the room together with the two church knights.
I raised an eyebrow towards Safelia.
"I thought I'd see Clara today."
Safelia grunts. “She's a little busy now so she'll be late. However, before that, there is something I want to talk to you about. ”
Oh?
With an interested expression, I looked towards the guard who was accompanying him.
Safelia understood my point and glared at them.
“Leave us alone.”
“But Saintess, the–”
"It's an order," said Saintess coldly. "wait outside."
The two guards put on complicated expressions and nodded helplessly.
But before they left, I talked to them.
"Right, when Clara arrives, tell her to come in. Alone, of course."
The guards frowned. But since Safelia did not reject me, they also had no reason to reject me.
After the guards left, I looked at Safelia with interest.
"… Very interesting. To think you would take the initiative to be alone with me.”
Safelia said nothing. He instead bit his lips for a few seconds and a doubtful expression flashed across his face.
Finally, he sighed.
“I think I need your help.”
