BANG!

The flowerpot that was initially by the window narrowly brushed previous X’s temple. X cautiously opened his tightly closed eyes as quickly as the person lifted the flowerpot.

X’s dry lips twitched as he glanced on the shattered flowerpot that had crashed into the wall behind him.

“You continue to haven’t discovered her?”

A shiver ran down X’s backbone on the sound of the eerie voice.

X principally feared and revered his God, however he nonetheless believed he wouldn’t damage him.

In any case, X was probably the most helpful creation he had made. X himself had confirmed that fairly nicely up till now.

“I’m sorry…….”

Not too long ago, nevertheless, issues had begun to go fallacious, and for the primary time in his life, X felt threatened.

He started to concern standing in entrance of his creator, contemplating the likelihood that his creator may kill him.

It began after Arsene disappeared with Mary.

X had underestimated it. He didn’t anticipate Arsene would take Mary, and that Mary would make such a choice, leaving her household behind.

Even after sternly warning them to not do something silly. The day he got here nose to nose with the human Arsene, he ought to have stored him and Mary aside one way or the other, not handled Baron Bruno.

If solely he may flip again time…

However X knew. Even when he may flip again time, he wouldn’t have the ability to separate Arsene and Mary.

He was afraid of Arsene. He knew that Arsene, who was referred to as the compassionate companion of god, can be cruel to him.

“Within the meantime, the reminiscences of Grand Duke Conler are leaking out.”

Mary’s disappearance introduced one other variable. X sealed Estin’s reminiscence utilizing his brother’s life as collateral.

Their plan to govern his reminiscences and substitute Mary Conler with Tia Bluea went awry as nicely.

He had even thought-about profiting from Mary’s absence to imprint Tia Bluea as Estin Conler’s daughter as soon as and for all, however Mary’s absence was simply as devastating to Estin.

“A toxic fellow.”

The person gnashed his tooth. X agreed with him, at the same time as he stood immobile.

Even together with his reminiscences sealed, he nonetheless felt a way of disaster as quickly as his daughter disappeared. The sudden disappearance of his reminiscences will need to have given him a horrible headache.

Now, two vicious males are desperately looking for Mary Conler, who vanished with out a hint, like snow melting on a sunny day.

X didn’t understand Arsene’s powers had returned to such a level, and that he had earned Mary’s belief by coming to her assist like a black knight at any time when she was in bother.

In a means, God and X introduced it on themselves. They had been those who created the disaster that allowed Arsene to avoid wasting her.

“Is Tia Bluea nonetheless on the Grand Duke’s property?”

“It appears so. Her relationship with the Grand Duke isn’t significantly good.”

“Tsk, ineffective.”

The phrases had been clearly directed at Tia Bluea, however the coldness within the voice was like a well-sharpened knife plunging into X’s coronary heart.

Tia Bluea was his God’s best work, crafted over numerous hours.

She was important to vary Mary Conler’s destiny. Contemplating the present scenario, it was all on the verge of being in useless.

Feeling uncomfortable in entrance of his god, X started to rapidly roll his ideas in his thoughts. He couldn’t stay every day feeling like he was strolling on a knife’s edge.

X naturally loved amusement and prioritized enjoyable. However in a scenario the place he felt threatened, it was unattainable to seek out amusement.

“Possibly…”

As X continued to ponder deeply, cautiously testing his luck, his god stared at him.

Caught within the ominous gaze, X hesitated whether or not to talk or not. He prayed that his phrases would barely change his god’s temper, even when just a bit.

“Now that Mary is separated from her household, she would possibly really feel lonely. Wouldn’t or not it’s regarding if she turned lonely?”

“How can she be lonely when she has Arsene?”

“Arsene isn’t her household. He can’t solely console her. She may also really feel guilt for leaving her household behind.”

X’s phrases sounded cheap, however the god felt uneasy for some purpose. Did she not have sufficient dedication when she determined to depart her household to observe Arsene?

However then once more, ‘she’ is a fragile and delicate being, so she would possibly really feel immense guilt for the choice she made along with her personal palms.

“I’ll positively discover Mary Conler! So please don’t be impatient.”

X, who rapidly observed the delicate adjustments within the man’s expression, admonished him with a sinister voice. The person sat on the couch and tightly closed his eyes.

X was by no means one to disappoint him. Even now, he should be placing super effort into discovering traces of Mary Conler.

He was nicely conscious of that, however he didn’t know how one can suppress his rising anger.

“……I see.”

Nonetheless, in comparison with the anger he felt when she was taken away from him, this was nothing. He had waited for a whole bunch of years, so couldn’t he wait a bit of longer?

There was nonetheless some lingering anger within the man’s voice, however it had softened to some extent.

X lastly took a deep breath. As he turned to depart, he stopped in his tracks.

‘Ah, is it okay to say this? The ambiance has improved, and I shouldn’t damage it for no purpose, proper?’

“Do you might have something to say?”

The person requested impatiently as X hesitated.

If he simply stated, “Nothing,” and walked away, he’d solely irritate him greater than he already was.

X took a deep breath and tried to take care of a nonchalant tone as he started to talk.

“Properly, do you keep in mind Cameron Arstans?”

“Are you testing my reminiscence?”

“It’s not that… It’s simply that… It looks as if Rex Bluea is as much as one thing. It looks as if he’s attempting to get revenge on Cameron Arstans. You recognize Rex Bluea has a harmful means.”

X, who had lately wandered over to Demimore to see if he may discover any signal of Mary Conler, discovered himself dealing with an sudden determine.

Rex Bluea was getting ready to take revenge on Cameron for Mary Conler’s disappearance.

He couldn’t correctly grasp the main points of the plan, however his skills had been greater than sufficient to shake Cameron Arstans.

“Why does that matter?”

X nonetheless felt like he ought to assist Cameron to some extent.

After all, he was interested by how Rex Bluea would use his skills, however Cameron Arstans had additionally helped him, and he thought he may nonetheless be one of many helpful chess items.

He wants him to maintain Demimore in test.

“We nonetheless have to assist Cameron…….”

“X.”

The person’s chilly voice lower by way of X’s phrases.

“Do you assume it’s time to have interaction in superficial camaraderie after I’m already busy and preoccupied?”

“Oh, no, I didn’t imply that.”

“If you happen to had the psychological capability to care about such issues, you’ll have discovered Mary Conrler by now.”

“No, I’m simply……. I assumed he would possibly have the ability to hold Demimore in test.”

On the man’s sarcasm, X felt his eyes glaze over him.

As the person stated, he puzzled if he had been so distracted by this that he hadn’t been capable of finding Mary Conler.

“Mary Conler is lacking, so what’s the purpose of conserving Demimore in test?”

The person stood up and pressed his index finger towards X’s brow. X tightly closed his eyes.

“Inform him to maintain himself. I don’t want chess items that may’t even win.”

When Cameron Arstans awoke from his sleep, he discovered himself in the course of a forest.

‘The place am I?’

A way of familiarity washed over him. He remembered seeing this forest someplace earlier than. Cameron, who was mendacity within the forest in his pajamas, had an ominous feeling.

Within the neighborhood of the spot the place Cameron had been mendacity, there was a bonfire, offering some illumination to survey the environment. Cameron cautiously approached the bonfire, feeling his means by way of.

‘Am I dreaming?’

Cameron blankly stared on the hearth, then pinched his cheek.

“It hurts.”

Judging by the ache, this wasn’t a dream in any respect. Startled, Cameron rapidly stood up from his spot and scanned the environment.

The place was this place? Why was he right here? His legs started to tremble uncontrollably.

“……X?”

If X had summoned him right here, it could be considerably relieving.

Maybe X had referred to as him right here to debate the current disappearance of that thorn of their aspect.

Might X have kidnapped Mary Conler? The place was she being held captive?

The thought that X might need tied Mary to a tree someplace round right here, giving him an opportunity for revenge, barely lifted Cameron’s spirits.
