"Why should pastors come get killed if they can just go public?" Meridians dropped to the sofa. "I don't think that sneaky guy came just to get killed. What do you think the purpose is?"
Silent. They were all staring at Meridians.
"What's? Why are you just looking at me?"
"There's black magic in your body." Lumiel tapped on the Meridian's forehead and appeared many magic circles. "There's a lot of traces of where here. Do you understand why priests cannot use magic when they use holy power? The two are called the gifts of the Gods, yet somehow contradictory."
"Then?"
"Black magic, where demons, magic and holy power clash within you. But you're not whimpering?"
The meridian pressed against his heart which had been in excruciating pain earlier. "I think it's just for a moment."
"It could be because of your mana capacity or something else." Andaru. "For now, go rest. I'll go back to the palace to take care of the rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Why didn't he ask?
Andaru actually teleported without leaving a single question mark about Lumiel. He didn't seem to know either, so Meridian just assumed he didn't feel it was time to ask.
"Speaking about where, how am I okay?"
Why is nothing crashing? Usually all things fly away because the Weak is on a rampage.
"Of course." Lumiel looked at Herdian. "Use healing magic on him. The wound may be deep enough."
Herdian jerks. But he rushed closer to the Meridian. "I don't know if it's going to hurt or not, so please hold on a second, Miss."
"Baik—" Meridian freeze. Not knowing why, suddenly his life seemed to be uprooted.
*
Heh.
It has to be this place again.
Though the Meridian sense is now more important he questioned Lumiel's true identity. Meridian thought because he was a demon, yes the skin was made exotic and sweet, but it turned out to be white.
It is discriminating appearance world, want in the novel or in the real world. White ones are always better (in their perception) than black ones.
But from Lumiel's good looks, is she the second male lead, not Herdian? His good looks almost matched Andaru's. Between demons and humans, which one is better suited to be a husband?
"Hey." Let's finish this first. "Why invite me if you hide? Quick out. I'm tired."
Silent.
"Chairs." Meridians dropped down on the chair that appeared at his request.
Since he didn't miss the Weak, the Meridians just evaporated, then closed. Whatever. Diceki will also come out on his own.
"My twin."
The Meridian Shadow appeared just like her request again.
"I want to discuss Lumiel. What say?"
"Could he be a descendant of a demon lord? Maybe the son of the demon king?"
"It makes sense." From his striking appearance and great strength, it was no wonder that he was given a super background like the descendants of the demon king. "But his eyes are red like Andaru's. Apart from reptilian eyes, is it possible that it is the same?"
Meridian Two folding hands. "If it was Laila, wouldn't she just love red eyes? Red eyes tend to describe superpowers, right? He makes a difference Andaru has a vertical iris, while Lumiel does."
Ohiya, yeah. This is Laila's novel. The meridian forgot.
"But, so far I've been involved with a lot of super characters. Judging from the abilities of all of them, isn't it an exaggeration for a fantasy romance novel? I mean, they're handsome, of course. Just, why am I so busy dealing with political and war issues with this temple?"
"Either? Not that the transmigration novel did change according to the soul of the main character?"
Meridians fold their hands. Mumbled dissatisfied. "Then do I have to finish what to get back? Marry Andaru? If you follow the pattern of transmigration novels whose plot changes due to differences in the souls of the main character, will not the main character also change? Do I have to be with Lumiel?"
"If you think about it again, it seems to make sense." He sighed in annoyance. "Then, what's the conflict?"
Silent.
The debate with the temple would have arisen because of the Meridian. Following Laila's plot, the conflict may have centered more on the tragedy of a possessive brother trying to lock up his sister but the sister instead marries the OP's crown prince.
"That means I have to kill Dion? Or report his actions to Andaru?"
"What about the temple?"
"I don't care about them."
They looked up, compactly nodding with one deal.
Let's not care about the unfortunate villains. Just as Her Highness the Princess of the Meridian Forgot Her Name, the temple also left it alone. Ruben also let it go, even though he was a bit interesting to be a real villain.
The most important thing is to go home!
"Then I stay—"
"You won't come back."
Everything suddenly changed. Meridians turned their head quickly back, somewhat surprised to find the False Meridians filled with black bloodstains.
His clothes were tattered, his hair was tangled in a mess, and his voice was almost gone if the atmosphere was not silent.
"You won't come back."
Meridian ruffled waist next door. "I'm definitely back. I told you I'm not someone who gets himself tied up, bleeding to be pitied. You're pathetic."
She smiles. "You're right. I'm pathetic."
"I don't need a justification."
"Unlike someone who is strong facing something, confident and always okay, I'm pathetic."
"Yes, take that." Meridians fold haughty hands. "Unlike you, I'm strong. Want me to get hurt, want me to be sad, want me to despair, I will not let myself drown until I am out of breath. You're just a lunatic pretending to be a victim of your own doing."
"You're right."
"I told you I don't need a justification."
Meridian breathed.
"Listen to me, little girl. Your life must be very hard, but to assume only your life is heavy is a form of vanity covered in weakness."
"...."
"When you think you are suffering and being tortured, then, unconsciously, you also think God is specialising in your torment. Anwser me. Why does God have to make people who don't even believe in Him special? People like you, who just keep thinking of giving up and giving up just because he failed and failed, will end up being this troublesome. Do you think I'm not tormented? Do I have to make myself bleed too so I look pathetic?"
"...."
"I told you, ask for help. If the Marquis doesn't help you, then ask the empire for help. If they ignore you, ask the temple for help. If they ignore it, ask the common people for help. Your life has meaning, Miss. When you are rejected, it means you have to use another path. God didn't create you just to eat and laugh, got it?"
"...."
"I'll be back." Meridian turned. "So just shut up and get ready to get back into your body."
But this world does not want to restore Meridians. No matter how many times he tried, unlike before, the Meridians remained there.
"Hei—"
"Strong people like you," the voice sounded so weak, "it was created strong."
For a moment, anger soared high within the Meridians. "Born strong?" Himself? Born strong?
Dare to. How dare he insult the Meridian effort of a lifetime!
"I CRAWLED FROM THE MUD TO SIT CONFIDENTLY ON GOLD!"
Meridian snatched his neck.
"I STRUGGLED TO UNDERSTAND MY LIFE, TO UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE, TO ACCEPT MY WEAKNESSES, TO GET OUT OF MY ZONE, TO ROLL OVER EVERY DAY IN TROUBLE FOR ME TO BE STRONG! SO THAT I DON'T END UP LIKE A SLACKER WHO ONLY INSULTS ME OUT OF ENVY!"
