“There is no one who is not the protagonist of their own life.”

Mariela and Elysia fell silent at Lev’s nonchalant response.

Eleon sighed inwardly.

“It’s not something to be taken lightly.”

“I did not take it lightly. I am seriously listening.”

With that said, Lev was happy to see Mariela again. No matter how bad she’d been through, it was doubtful that she had been locked up for several years.

“Now that I think about it, haven’t you been locked up for quite some time?”

Lev nodded.

“That’s right. But I meditated most of the time I was imprisoned.”

Lev smiled softly.

“Can you imagine how fast that ship sank?”

That’s why she was able to move so fast. Eleon finally let out a breath that he couldn’t contain.

It was the will of Mariela and Elysia that brought them together in this place.

But it was he who allowed it. Because he was anxious to part with Elysia.

However, when they sat down to talk, it was not even clear what they were going to talk about.

He could only see Elysia. She was so beautiful in Eleon’s eyes. There was no hint of sadness in the face of Elysia, daughter of dukes, nor the face of Rona, his servant, and lover.

     Why?

There was no way to know. He didn’t even get a chance to talk to Elysia, who woke up from the side effects of the paralyzing poison and regained old memories of her. 

Exhausted, she woke up briefly and was mostly asleep the rest of the time.

When he sees her sleeping face, it’s ‘Elysia’, but when she opens her eyes, it doesn’t seem to be the woman he knows, so that made Eleon go crazy.

The more they talked, the more confused it became. Then Elysia looked at Lev.

“The problem is that there are people who want to achieve what is written in that book.”

“Oh.”

“And in this world, there is a force that does not want to defy the set flow.”

Mariela stepped up.

“It is also written about the death of my daughter. It is written that my daughter is obsessed with the Crown Prince, so she is abandoned and commits suicide.”

“Do you believe that?”

“Even if you don’t want to believe it, you will.”

Mariela’s hand that was on the table trembled.

“When Elysia was young, we named her Zela after my husband and me. However, one day an oracle told us to change her name to Elysia. At first, I never thought it was because of the book.”

“Hmm.”

Eleon was annoyed when Mariela seemed disappointed with Lev’s attitude of not taking it as a big problem.

“I thought that Elysia’s chances of meeting the crown prince were lower if she became a priest. But still, he kidnapped her and took her to the Crystal Palace.”

“He did something like that?”

“Yes. He wants to use the setup here to ascend to the divine throne. Just like the first Oder did. So he doesn’t have the conscience to protect people.”

When Mariela spoke seriously, Lev corrected her sitting position.

“Anyway, having such a force in the Empire can be a problem. But I’m far from politics.”

Lev smiled at Mariela.

“Let’s try to find a solution together. How about we have a drink together today?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

When Mariela responded reluctantly, Lev seemed excited and ordered the servants to bring drinks and snacks.

Then, they started to bring up old memories from the Berlas Academy days that Eleon and Elysia didn’t know about.

“Get up.”

Eleon gently lifted Elysia up. He was worried that she would not fully recover her health.

Although they left in silence, Lev didn’t care, laughing happily with Mariela.

As soon as they were out of the room, she told him.

“Can we talk for a minute?”

Eleon just nodded. 

The Empress’s palace fell into darkness.

Even though it was far from midnight, all the lights in the empress’s palace were off, making it look gloomy as if no one was staying.

However, a voice came out of the empress’s private room, speaking softly.

“So you mean that you lost Sailen?”

“Ye… yes. Forgive me.”

“Tsk. That ship could have been useful for a long time.”

Seraphina shivered on the cold stone floor as she heard Sonatek click his tongue.

“We can’t restrain an Oder with ordinary pieces of metal. You went through quite a hard time building that ship.”

That’s exactly what he said.

How can an ‘Oder’ be so strong and special, that my son isn’t?

To restrain Lev, Seraphina bribed an army surgeon on the battlefield.

The blood clots they cleaned from the wounded Eleon were secretly delivered to the imperial palace. God’s words had shown that only the blood of another Oder could bind Lev.

Lev was strong. So being careless was her daily routine. Thanks to her ignorance that she believed handcuffs would not stop her, Seraphina was able to subdue Lev with a weapon and handcuffs infused with Eleon’s blood. It was a way that wouldn’t work twice.

Then, she made a prison in a ship that floated on the water because she was afraid of Lev stepping on the ground.

Seraphina wondered why God couldn’t touch the power of Oder, but she complied because everything was done according to prophecy.

And the moment she’s been waiting for has finally arrived.

With the blood she took from the imprisoned Lev, she completed a poison that would blind Eleon. 

How excited she was when she received the vial with a strange red aura from Sonatek.

Around this time, Seraphina began to slip into madness.

She captures and imprisons Lev with Eleon’s own blood and deprives Lev’s son of a bright future with Lev’s own blood.

What a wonderful thing, she thought.

It’s been a long time since their existence made Seraphina shed tears every night and Sabiel turned into a lump of inferiority.

     May they suffer as much as I have suffered. 

Seraphina was satisfied because she could satisfy her revenge by following God’s will. 

In gratitude to the god who chose her as his avenging sword, she offered herself to be his faithful servant.

But the ship sank and Lev was free.

The failure was so great that Seraphina was afraid.

The god’s representative who flew from the sky was superhuman even with his authority.

She couldn’t imagine what kind of punishment a god would punish her with. But Sonatek didn’t seem to care much.

“What happened to what God said to bring?”

“Thi..this……”

Seraphina held out a vial of dark red blood to him with a shaking hand.

The ship sank when Seraphina drew Lev’s blood and left the ship to return to the palace.

She was fortunate to be able to obtain an Oder’s blood.

     Also, this will cause Eleon to go blind again.

On second thoughts, it was a must-have item even in exchange for her own blood.

”Good work.”

Sonatek, who received the glass bottle, said happily.

“Don’t worry about the ship. God won’t blame you.”

“Yes, sure. Thank you… thank you very much.”
