“Have you learnt the place Sofia Bruno is?”

“I don’t know.”

At Arsene’s quick denial, I narrowed my eyes and checked out him, attempting to gauge his true intentions.

He appeared so sorry that he couldn’t reply my query that I felt unhealthy for doubting him.

I attempted to ask him extra questions, however he didn’t appear to know something. I used to be getting annoyed.

I attempted to determine what to do. As I wiggled my toes, Arsene spoke up.

“Ought to we carry Sofia Bruno again?”

“In some way, it looks like that’s what we should always do.”

Arsene checked out me surprisingly. Was he taking a look at me like that as a result of he thought I’d ask him to seek out her for me?

To show my innocence, I raised each palms and gestured reassuringly.

“Don’t fear, I’m not asking you to do it!”

“What?”

“As a result of it’s one thing I promised Baron Bruno.”

“However he’s lifeless, proper?”

“Sure, however we nonetheless don’t know what occurred to Sofia Bruno.”

Yeah, as a result of we actually don’t know what occurred to her…….

The considered it made my mouth bitter. If Sofia Bruno was alive, I might discover out what occurred to her.

Though we didn’t have an excellent relationship, now that issues have turned out this fashion, possibly she would cooperate with me.

No, will she blame me for Baron Bruno’s dying? I can’t utterly deny that I’m not at fault…

“Baron Bruno talked about Jessica Bruno, didn’t he?”

“Oh, sure.”

As if he knew I used to be silently fighting the sophisticated ideas in my head, Arsene put his hand on the highest of my head and introduced up Jessica Bruno.

“Sofia Bruno and Jessica Bruno has a number of similirity. ‘Yoosa’ is a sorcery from very historic occasions that modifications the destiny of two individuals who have similarities.”

“Oh, so when Sofia Bruno fell ailing…….”

They saved her by utilizing Jessica Bruno as a ‘Yoosa’.

I hung my head in disbelief. I used to be horrified to know that there was such sorcery on the earth.

“Why would anybody… Why would they carry out such sorcery?”

“Give it some thought. In case your youngster, or your dad and mom, or possibly your lover was dying, however they’ll dwell in case you sacrifice somebody.”

If such a chance arises, what choice would I make?

Grand Duke Estin, no, my father, if solely he might regain his reminiscence……. However the place would I discover somebody like him? That’s the primary downside.

Duke Bluea, my father’s brother? I understand now, by my ideas, how terrifying human selfishness is.

I’m not able to criticize others.

“Phrases are sorcery. It’s like receiving an oracle from the god of dying. You pray on the temple and say, ‘My man has a illness that may kill him, god of dying,’ and it comes down.”

“Why would a god give such an oracle?”

If I heard such a divine oracle, I’m certain I might be uncertain, similar to earlier than. Nonetheless, the concept such a rotten lifeline is bestowed by a divine oracle is bothering.

What sort of god solutions prayers with such divine oracle? If I got such an oracle by a god, I might naturally doubt it.

If somebody says one thing to you, you could have a believable excuse that it’s from God.

“It was a type of leisure for that god in his lengthy, lengthy life.”

“How are you going to name {that a} god?”

“Properly, anyway, folks thought of such oracles as salvation. They began gathering on the temple of the god of dying, which was initially not frequented by folks.”

“No, folks truly search that as a god.”

As I muttered in disbelief, Arsene’s eyes widened, and he regained his ordinary expression.

He pursed his lips as if he had one thing to say. As I stared at him intently, he lastly nodded..

“No, I imply it. You’re actually completely different from ‘that particular person.’”

“I don’t even keep in mind that time…….”

I spotted that ‘that particular person’ talked about by Arsene referred to my previous life, and I grumbled in annoyance. Arsene agreed and smiled.

There was a touch of disappointment in that smile. As a substitute of feeling aggravated by Arsene’s fixed seek for traces of that particular person from me, I turned curious for some purpose……. So, somewhat impulsively, I requested.

“If it have been ‘that particular person,’ how would she react?”

“Huh? Properly, she’d in all probability be fascinated about how lonely that God should be as a result of he doesn’t get many guests.” 

Oh, God.

I used to be shocked to study that I had as soon as been that form of particular person.

Was I actually that good-hearted? The goodness of that particular person, who appeared to be somewhat out of contact, amazed me.

If I used to be such a distinct particular person now, why was the underworld god nonetheless so obsessive about me?

Sure, the god of the underworld…….

I’m certain he makes use of these oracles to seek out similarities.

“So that you’re saying there’s a similarity between Sofia Bruno and Tia Bluea?”

“Sure, maybe.”

“……He used Sofia Bruno to carry Jung Seulbi right here.”

Arsene nodded. So is Sophia Bruno on earth the place Jung Seulbi ought to be? In that case, do I have to go to Earth to get her again? 

I ponder if that’s attainable. Or I’ve to seek out somebody just like me on earth to change. This makes it sophisticated. Is there a greater method?

“However what do you suppose are the similarities between Sofia Bruno and Jung Seulbi?”

“I don’t find out about that.”

“Would eradicating the similarities between them invalidate the sorcery…….”

“I’ll should go ask them then.”

If solely they might inform us about it themselves. However they wouldn’t open their mouths simply.

“If we’ve a hostage, they’ll inform us.”

Arsene blurted out the large phrases and not using a care on the earth.

“The hostage that might work finest for them can be…… me.”

“I’m right here to make you a suggestion, Mary Conler.”

“A suggestion?”

“If you need, I can conceal you from their sight. They’ll panic in case you immediately disappear with nearly all their plans in place. After which I can drive them to disclose their plans to me. Possibly we will discover a clue that may lead us to Estin Conler’s reminiscence.”

Arsene spoke as if attempting to persuade me. I used to be greatly surprised by the opportunity of recovering my father’s reminiscences.

Individuals would go to egocentric lengths to sacrifice others to save lots of their very own households, and this was nothing in comparison with that.

As I used to be being persuaded, I noticed the face of Arsene, who was able to doing horrible issues.

To flee the schemes of the god of the underworld and shield my household, it appeared like becoming a member of palms with Arsene was the best path to take.

“I’ve devoted a number of time to eradicating the god of the underworld. I don’t know when I’ll regain my energy. To do this, I would like you as a card, Mary.”

“All proper.”

“You in all probability gained’t see your loved ones for fairly some time, are you okay with that?”

Solely now did I understand the preciousness of my household.

“I need to maintain them protected.”

“Sure?”

“They love me a lot however I maintain doubting them. I need to be forgiven for deceiving them.”

I bowed my head and completed talking.

“Maybe now, after I’m not in my father’s reminiscences, is perhaps the optimum time. Different members of the family is perhaps unhappy, however…”

However I need to repair what I can, and in time, they might suppose it was a silly factor to do. If I inform them that I did it to guard them, I’ll be scolded.

I need to be scolded.

By my father, who has all his reminiscences again.

“I’m somewhat relieved that you just suppose so.”

“Oh, there’s a spot I’d wish to cease by, is that okay?”

‘Oh, I fell asleep.’ 

Demimore was sitting by the window, studying a e-book as a result of he couldn’t sleep, when he nod off.

Swiping her bangs off her brow, he turned his head to return to mattress and return to sleep, solely to be shocked.

“Mary?”

Demimore appeared on the silhouette that immediately appeared in shock.

Seeing the pitch black hair that matches the darkness that permeates the room, and the shiny black eyes that resemble the hair, it was clear that it was his fiancee.

Why would his fiancée, who was alleged to be within the Grand Duchy, be right here?

“Is it a hallucination?”

It wouldn’t be unreasonable to suppose so, however underneath the moonlight, Mary didn’t appear to be of this world.

She was undeniably lovely and cute, however to the extent that it made him marvel if she was actually like this.

Feeling disoriented, Demimore positioned his palm in opposition to her cheek, feeling the heat of her pores and skin. It was in all probability not a hallucination or a ghost.

The cat’s eyes, which she hated for trying so fierce, drooped. Mary gently rubbed her cheek in opposition to his palm like a kitten.

“Demimore, I’m sorry.”

What are you sorry about? For a second when he felt suspicious, Demimore swallowed breath as Mary got here into his arms.

Demimore clenched his fists at his personal unflattering response.

“Let’s meet once more later.”

Mary muttered sadly. Impatient, Demimore tightly grabbed Mary’s wrist, nevertheless it was in useless. Mary disappeared.

Was it a dream? No, even when it was a dream, to have her in his arms after which disappear like that…….

He felt so unhealthy.
