After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

I had to kill my brother because of my own immaturity.

This thought was deeply engraved in Lagias's mind at that time.

Because of this, I can't afford to lose.

He had to use everything he had and exert all that he could to take the life of his beloved niece.

——This is the role that I, who beheaded my brother, the great Finn, need to play.

Lagias's lips trembled slightly as he spoke.

But now, the person who could stop this will is no longer here.

Chapter 23 Contract

My vision flickered and I lost my sense of balance in an instant.

After what felt like a few blinks, Eltis opened his eyes.

What came into view was a familiar scene, the same scene I had seen when I was lying in bed and looking up.

Eltis put pressure on his fingertips, confirming once again whether his body was solid.

In any case, this feeling of uncertainty will appear when the illusion is withdrawn and consciousness returns to the body.

Of course, these feelings will disappear over time.

No matter what, I have fulfilled my duty.

Eltis's face softened slightly.

Although his expression did not reach the level of expressing any emotional fluctuations, it did seem to carry a hint of happiness.

I'm not sure if it can be called intelligence, but if so, he should be very satisfied.

Thinking of this, Altis lowered his legs from the bed and walked out of the bedroom.

Suddenly, the dressing mirror came into view.

In it, the reflection was of himself just getting out of bed and standing up.

Her hair was sticking up in a funny way, and she was wearing men's clothes, but it looked very messy.

Her eyelashes and complexion were probably no better than usual.

Just as he was about to leave the room, Altis stopped on his toes.

Naturally, she began to smooth out her hair and the wrinkles in her clothes with her long, slender fingers.

After washing my cheeks with water, I blinked and looked at myself in the mirror.

Is that all? I still need to get my dressing box out.

Just as he was thinking this, Eltis's face suddenly turned red.

What are you doing?

I like wearing men's clothes, and my tone of voice changes with my outfit, but I'm not forcing myself.

Eltis truly felt that this posture and state was most suitable for him.

Therefore, until now, I have left my hair and makeup to the maids and have not paid much attention to it.

However, what is wrong with me now?

Eltis's large green eyes flickered, and he looked away from the mirror.

Now I am like a girl who spends time dressing up.

Eltis didn't remember ever having such a hobby.

Besides, the person I'm going to meet next is that rude human, Murphy.

So, why bother?

Not at all.

Thinking this, Altis placed his hand on the door separating the bedroom and the living room.

She cleared her throat in front of the bedroom door, tidied her hair naturally with her fingertips, and pushed open the wooden door.

--squeak.

There was a somewhat ancient sound coming from the door.

"I'm back. Didn't I do a good job? At least I don't have to fight blindfolded anymore."

There is no need to say who deserves the credit for this, just raise the tone of your voice slightly in your throat.

But after waiting for a while, there was no response from the expected voice in the house.

It’s weird.

In any case, even if it's a voice with a hint of sarcasm, it's fine.

Eltis pouted in dissatisfaction and looked into the house, only to find that the figure was still the same.

However, that figure was now sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

For some reason, Altis quietly and slowly approached the figure, leaned in close, and looked at the face carefully.

Deep breaths exhaled at a certain rate, and eyelids that did not open.

That's right.

Murphy fell asleep in the chair.

Once again, Eltis's lips trembled as if expressing dissatisfaction, and his eyes intensified slightly.

She is not the type to show her emotions on her face.

But now, her expression showed that she was obviously unhappy.

He created an illusion according to the instructions and went for reconnaissance. When he came back, he found that the person who gave the order was asleep.

Now that the instructions have been issued, we should carefully monitor the results. Isn't this one of our obligations?

Altis pursed his lips as he studied Murphy's sleeping face.

Ah, no.

As Eltis blinked, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Really? He barely slept last night.

When I think about it carefully, Murphy held her body in her arms all night last night, supporting this body without sleeping.

Somehow, Altis's long ears suddenly began to twitch.

So that's how it is. Well, to some extent, there's nothing we can do about it.

I heard that the human body is not that strong or durable.

Thinking back on what happened yesterday, he should really get some sleep now.

Eltis gently stroked the strange, rough hands resting on the chair.

What's more, this person is his knight.

As a superior, I should really show due magnanimity in this small matter.

Thinking of this, Eltis once again gazed at Murphy's sleeping face, and the restless feeling had completely disappeared from her heart.

On the contrary, those thoughts seemed to be praising the other person's work.

Not relaxing for him, for Murphy.

I don't completely believe him in my heart, but I also have some thoughts.

However, he has little hostility towards humans.

Eltis blinked gently.

Initially, it was out of sympathy for each other, thinking that they were both people who had given up hope and should lick each other's wounds.

But that was my own misunderstanding.

Eltis realized that this was just his own unilateral thought.

Murphy said she didn't want to give up, and even more so, she didn't want to die.

Not only that, he also threatened, showing his determination to take him out by force, and penetrated his blue eyes.

Altis, who had been quietly looking at Murphy's sleeping face, smiled.

Really, how disrespectful!

Originally, beheading on the spot was also acceptable.

Just a human and an elf princess.

It feels silly to even make the comparison.

However, Eltis didn't care at this time.

If it weren't for Murphy, sooner or later he would have been exhausted in this tower as time passed, and his soul would have quietly fallen into madness.

Certainly, these hands would not have the courage to walk out of the tower and reach towards the sky.

These legs will no longer have the courage to run across the earth.

Ah, of course.

One day, I will give up everything, and this hand will undoubtedly let go of everything as well.

But Murphy wanted to involve himself in it, lead himself out of the tower prison, and hold this hand.

Eldis took Murphy's outstretched fingers and intertwined them with his own.

He seemed to be sleeping very soundly and showed no signs of waking up.

Then, Eltis tightened his grip with a little more force.

"You said you'd drag me into this, that I couldn't escape. Speaking of which, I was actually quite frightened at the time."

Thus, Altis chewed over the words word by word and announced them to the sleeping Murphy.

It seemed like a blessing, but also like a curse.

"Elves are very persistent. Once they develop feelings, they won't let go easily. Absolutely."

Perhaps because of their longevity, the elves find it difficult to change their way of thinking, habits, and emotions.

Then, I signed a contract with him.

He said he wouldn't let me escape.

And I accepted it.

So, this is the contract.

Not completely forgiven;

It is not complete trust;

It doesn't mean that everything is accepted.

But Murphy wouldn't let him escape.

And Eltis accepted this binding contract.

That's all.

"I will keep my promise, on my dignity."

With their hands intertwined, Altis whispered in Murphy's ear, who was still sleeping.

Chapter 24 The Owner of the Battlefield

It was the time when the Golden Crow appeared and the sun shone brightly.

The summoned elven soldiers held their breath in the city of Gasalia, while at the same time, they filled their hearts with murderous intent and took steps that were a mixture of courage and timidity.

The elves were fully armed, holding bows and spears.

Could the total number of elven soldiers reach several hundred? Not sure, but probably around that number.

But one thing is beyond doubt, at this moment, they are all heading towards the battlefield.
