Episode 49: Guilt

“…you’re again.”

After some time, Kailos opened his mouth and muttered fiercely, “I lower your head off and gave it as a crow’s meal.”

The raised corners of his lips twitched as if mocking.

“It’s deplorable {that a} loser who has already died, lives and comes again in time.”

“This time you’ll be the crow’s meal,” Raymond responded coldly to his opponent’s ridicule.

Having already been woven into dying as soon as, it was a humorous relationship to proceed displaying manners.

Seeing his half-brother’s perspective that modified from what he vaguely remembered, Raymond thought he would have returned similar to himself and Raymond’s thought was proper.

‘Then what about Chloe?’

I remembered her pitiful look as she checked out me and solely shed tears. Though she stated it was as a result of she was sick…….

“Chloe, is she again?”

At Raymond’s query, Kailos visibly hardened his expression.  Seeing that, Raymond was satisfied.

“She should have come again too.”

“Don’t put her identify in your mouth!”

Kailos cried, grinding his tooth.

“Chloe doesn’t love you. She pretended to like you, however Chloe by no means beloved you. It’s me she loves, not you.”

“I do know, Grand Duke Ludwig,”

Raymond added, wanting contemptuously at his half-brother who dared to remind him of what he knew.

“However I really like her.”

“You like her? Don’t discuss nonsense! Chloe is the girl who sacrificed your life for me! Nonetheless, do you’re keen on Chloe?”

With an incredulous look on his face, he opened his bloodshot eyes.

“In fact, I nonetheless love her.”

Final night time, Raymond stayed within the Grand Duke’s visitor room and contemplated again and again till dawn.

Chloe Garnet, a lady who stifled her personal breath along with her slender and beautiful palms. A lady who is aware of so nicely what’s going to occur once more if she chooses him.

He got here all the way in which to see her, however couldn’t work out what to do, so he couldn’t sleep till late at night time.

He was nearly to open the door, questioning if the night time air would clear his head. Raymond, who stopped as a result of presence of somebody on the door, raised his palm as if possessed and positioned it over the door.

‘Raymond…’

Raymond. No less than on this Duchy, nobody was fearless sufficient to name his identify.

However why does the voice that claims his identify, resemble hers? She had by no means actually known as him by his first identify.

‘I’m sorry, actually…… I’m sorry….’

The phrases combined with sobs flowed by way of the door. At that second Raymond groaned slowly and closed his eyes.

Sure, Chloe. You, you’re sorry. You can not bear to convey the guilt in entrance of me, so you’re letting go of this sense alone like this.

“Chloe won’t ever be blissful subsequent to you.”

It was extra like a perception than a conviction. Chloe Garnet won’t ever be pleased with Kailos Ludwig.

“So I’ll make her blissful. I’ll get her away from you, Kailos Ludwig.”

On the assertive tone, Kailos trembled.  The hostility felt in his gaze was as sharp as being stabbed, however Raymond sneered calmly.

“Do you suppose it’ll work as you want?”

His squeezing voice didn’t sound excellent. After ending his meal, Raymond stood up, shaking his hand calmly.

“Raymond Del Astaroth!”

As he was about to go away the eating room, Kailos caught him.  Raymond glanced again at him with an detached look.

“To Chloe… You’re not saying something bizarre, are you?”

“Nicely.”

With a short reply, Raymond turned with a transparent toxic goal, and instantly went to her. As soon as he made up his thoughts, he was not going to cease.

In contrast to yesterday, he gently grabbed her head as she greeted him politely. Her eyes had been nonetheless pink, Raymond didn’t prefer it.

“I’m a lady of no worth to Your Majesty.”

Raymond’s eyes narrowed at her disparaging remarks. Possibly she has gone again in time as nicely, and she or he is aware of nicely what her emotions are for him.

‘….. guilt.’

She’s most likely pushing him away due to her gloomy emotions. That’s why Raymond couldn’t carry himself to debate ‘love’ along with her.

She had an anxious look on her face on a regular basis. He might so clearly see what her little head was considering that it made him set free a heavy sigh.

‘You should be anxious that I would fall in love with you once more.  However what to do, Chloe, I’ve already gone again in time as soon as, and I’m nonetheless in love with you.’

Raymond knew her guilt would destroy her the second she spoke it out.

Chloe Garnet was an extremely harmless and tender baby, it was unbelievable that she was an individual underneath Grand Duke Ludwig.

So Raymond denied his emotions. No less than he didn’t intend to indicate it in entrance of her.

In fact, mendacity in entrance of her that he doesn’t like her was extra painful than he thought.

However he might put up with it. Raymond Del Astaroth was a person who might do something for Chloe Garnet’s happiness.

“Chloe, should you want my assist to be blissful, inform me something.”

In response to his low whisper, she requested him for assist in lower than a day.

“There’s just one factor I need.”

She stated, placing poison in her fairly eyes.

“I wish to twist his neck pretending to be pleasant.”

Her reply to the query of whether or not she had discovered her happiness was fairly absurd. As Raymond stood nonetheless, she spoke her phrases as if attempting to elaborate just a little extra.

“I need revenge on him. For those who use me, Your Majesty will have the ability to carry him down. Your Majesty, use me as bait, as Kailos has supposed to do to His Majesty. I will likely be your bait.”

The phrase revenge made Raymond’s eyebrows wriggle softly.

“No, Chloe, That’s not your happiness.”

“However I…….”

Her eyes wandered and shed tears on the agency refutation.

However Raymond had no intention of breaking his will earlier than her tears. In fact, the Grand Duke of Ludwig wanted a punishment appropriate for him.

Raymond doesn’t know what occurred to her after his dying. Nevertheless, from the response of her and Grand Duke Ludwig, he solely assumed that she was sad, opposite to his needs.

He didn’t imply to disregard her need to wrench the Grand Duke’s neck with that small hand. It is just as a result of he is aware of that there’s something else that should be preceded by taking a look at her face which was uninterested in lengthy misfortunes.

“I can get you out of right here should you don’t like being at my brother’s aspect.”

Chloe Garnet must be blissful. In his earlier life, he even gave his life for her happiness.

And but, if she was nonetheless sad, Raymond was going to make her blissful.

That approach, I don’t suppose the dying of my previous life will likely be in useless.

So erase the tears from that fairly face and smile once more.

“Okay, then Chloe, now let’s say it once more. What would you like?”

“I wish to get away from him.”

She replied, whereas trembling her moist, moist eyelashes.

“Then say it once more, It’s not a deal, I need you to assist me.”

“…please assist me, Your Majesty.”

As quickly as he heard the reply he wished, a smile appeared on Raymond’s lips.

“How can I enable you?”

“…….”

Chloe stared at Raymond silently for a second. Raymond needed to suppress the doubts that had raised in his head a number of occasions within the face of these eyes.

‘What on earth has occurred since my dying that you just wish to run away from the person you really liked? The person who ruined you, whom you really liked, what sin has he dedicated to make him so determined for you?’

He was curious, however didn’t intend to ask. As quickly as he asks her, she is going to know that he has travelled again in time.

“I’m going to lie just a little. Please cooperate solely as soon as. I wish to go away the citadel, however Kailos doesn’t need that. Regardless of how a lot you say, you may’t get me out and not using a good purpose.”

“Sure.”

“So I’m going to make an excellent purpose out of it. I want your assist in that lie.”

Raymond instantly acknowledged what lies she was telling. However he by no means thought she would counsel the tactic first.

“About ten days later, I’ll inform him that I’ve a baby of His Majesty.”

Chloe stated, whereas gritting her tooth. What did she consider when she considered this lie? Raymond clenched his fist, considering maybe she was considering of the identical scene as him.

‘Estelle….What occurred to Estelle after that, Chloe?’

The query he had been ignoring all alongside echoed in his coronary heart.

“The roots of the Duchy flowers that develop within the alpine areas west of the empire gradual the menstrual cycle and trigger signs much like these of being pregnant. It should be onerous, however should you get it and take it, even the physician of the Duchy received’t be suspicious.”

“I’ll get it for you.”

It was a transparent reply that got here out with out having to rethink, however she hesitated and seemed round. When Raymond was questioning, she stated timidly,

“In fact, as soon as I’ve escaped from the Duchy, I’ll discover my approach and go away instantly to keep away from hurt to His Majesty. Simply ten days…  …  Even when I don’t have a baby, please keep by my aspect so he believes it.”

Her troubles had been so cute that Raymond burst into laughter.

“Who do you suppose I’m?”

“Sure…?”

Blinking her bewildered eyes, she was precisely what he remembered.

“You alone received’t trigger me any hurt or bother. So that you solely take into consideration your happiness.”

“Oh… “

The softly flushed cheeks had been so beautiful that Raymond touched the ends of her hair for a very long time with a relaxed expression.
