Chapter 50:

“I don’t know,” Philip replied, intentionally feigning ignorance, regardless that he was nicely conscious of the scenario.

Altaire Eloy nodded, as if she anticipated his response.

“After all, it’s pure to not know. We’re not a company that operates overtly. Let me clarify briefly; we exist to forestall inside conflicts inside humanity. Our function is to make sure that humanity’s energy stays centered on coping with the demons. My turning into Girl Eloy was additionally part of that function. After all, I by no means slept with…”

Felicia was shocked by the Countess’s phrases and nervously swallowed.

“What about Bleuhan Eloy, then?”

“That scoundrel didn’t come from my womb. Can’t you see the apparent variations between us? He’s an illegitimate little one, born to the woman of a buying and selling agency with whom Adrian Eloy had an affair.”

Altaire Eloy set free a deep sigh.

“It’s the story of an unlucky lady who devoted her youth to responsibility and conviction.”

With that, she started to relate a considerably extra prolonged account, resembling a mom telling a fairy story to her little one.

—Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled by way of Ñôv€l–B1n.

“In easy phrases, Adrian Eloy is a person who should die. He made a contract with the Archduke of the Netherworld, Dehetra. After inflicting important turmoil in human society, he’s destined to be reborn as a strong demon.”

Philip blinked in bewilderment on the data revealed by Altaire Eloy.

“What does that imply?”

“Initially, Adrian Eloy’s aim was to incite a struggle. He believed that, as a princess, I would offer a compelling purpose to start out one.”

“Then, in the long run…”

“Sure, he failed. However I couldn’t deliver myself to kill him. If I did, there would nonetheless be a struggle within the western area of Calaria. Quickly after, the Nice Sage, one of many senior members of the Genesis Society, knowledgeable us that he had made a contract with a demon. Somebody needed to control him.”

“I see.”

Philip lastly grasped the complexities of the scenario.

“Initially, the plan was to imprison Adrian Eloy someplace nobody might discover him. Nevertheless, he wasn’t that easy. He had devised numerous schemes, utilizing his life as leverage. They couldn’t correctly uncover these schemes. So, that’s once I stepped in.”

As a princess, Altaire volunteered to turn out to be a sufferer. She persuaded her father, the King, to make the Eloy household a Rely, and she or he grew to become a countess herself and watched over the Eloy Household for twenty years.

It may need been a shrewd resolution or maybe an imprudent one.

Nevertheless, a lingering query remained.

“However why on earth did Adrian Eloy strike a take care of demons?”

“He needed to turn out to be a king. Whereas the Eloy household possessed sufficient wealth to determine their very own kingdom, they lacked the loyal the Aristocracy wanted to assist an illegitimate lineage. In some unspecified time in the future, he informed me that if I might make him a king, he would annul the pact with the demons.”

“He made a pact with demons simply to turn out to be a king? What a silly endeavor.”

“There is likely to be extra to it, however I don’t know. At first, all I desired was to swiftly remove Adrian, however because the years handed, being the Countess didn’t appear so unhealthy in spite of everything.”

Nevertheless, such a state of affairs appeared unlikely. Phillip needed to inquire why she caught with the Elot household for 20 years, however he didn’t consider she would offer a solution.

“… So, what do I do now?”

In response to Phillip’s query, Altaire chuckled, as if questioning why he would ask such a factor.

“Killing Adrian… No, our Adrian. Isn’t that what you need to do? Proceed together with your plan, however train warning.”

“It mustn’t result in struggle. It appears simpler than I believed.”

“Simpler, you say?”

Phillip kept away from answering Altaire’s query and bowed deeply.

“I’ll meet you once more underneath extra favorable circumstances.”

‘That’s Neria’s first proprietor.’

In contrast to his earlier house owners, this feminine knight had a delicate demeanor. Nevertheless, Philip recalled the second he first challenged her.

‘I simply stared at her and died with out even understanding what occurred.’

Difficult her had been futile because of the huge distinction in talent. He had left her alone, identical to the others. She gazed at Philip and smiled mischievously, and in that second, his neck was sliced off.

“Now, issues is likely to be completely different. A minimum of this time, I ought to be capable of put up a combat.”

As Philip confronted her, he felt his whole physique trembling. Holding onto the sword Neria had crafted, he widened his stance and ready for her imminent assault.

And this time, Philip might foresee how he would die.

“She faked a strike after which went for my neck.”

The expertise of getting his imaginative and prescient out of the blue flipped by having his neck severed was all the time horrifying.

‘Seems such as you failed on the primary try.’

When he awakened from the dream, Neria spoke in a comforting tone.

‘Let’s go for the second try instantly. Possibly after about 150 makes an attempt, I’d be capable of face her sword at the very least as soon as.’

Philip mumbled, perspiring closely.

The duel trial was scheduled for 2 weeks from now, as talked about within the letter. Inside that point, he needed to develop as a lot as doable.

‘I is likely to be going through dying quickly.’

Philip stepped again into the digital area, rigorously assessing the palms, ft, and gaze of the feminine warrior. The distinction in talent degree was staggering, leaving him doubting the reliability of the knowledge he had gathered.

Nevertheless, he held onto one certainty – if he might elevate his skills sufficient to considerably match the feminine warrior, he believed he might safe victory within the duel trial.

“Please information me going ahead,” Philip humbly addressed the feminine warrior.

‘The primary proprietor was a remarkably sort individual. Since Neria’s awakening, she shared fascinating tales along with her each day. And through her prime, she was an unmatched drive on the continent. She’s not somebody you’ll be able to problem recklessly.’

Neria’s recommendation lingered in Philip’s thoughts.

Regardless of the cautionary phrases, Philip adjusted his stance and readied his sword. A whip-like aura surged from his blade.

‘So long as I preserve distance, I needs to be advantageous.’

He launched an assault from afar. Nevertheless, the feminine warrior effortlessly deflected his strikes and swiftly crushed his higher physique.

“Agh!” Philip winced upon waking up, his coronary heart racing.

‘You must attempt about 400 extra occasions.’

Neria teasingly remarked.

Philip managed a smile regardless of the exhaustion and frustration he felt.

He believed he had improved since his first try, however the actuality was far past his expectations. Even when he had been to swap positions with Emil Phanoy, he knew he would nonetheless battle to face towards her.

“Properly, let’s begin with a light-weight 100 extra tries after which resolve if we have to method this otherwise.”

After quite a few deaths, he lastly embraced the damaged psychological state and drifted right into a troubled sleep.
