glass of wine in his hand, Oliver grumpily thought as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was already brimming with people who were talking about what just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he really that stupid?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver thought, taking a sip of his wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why reveal that to everyone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he wasn’t that knowledgeable about what those energies were, he could tell they were far more important for the elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet... he still told everyone about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[«He might have something in his mind.»]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith’s voice echoed in his mind as he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[«Or maybe he is confident enough to bear the consequences.»]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver smiled slowly as he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are you saying that he can stand his ground against an entire race?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[«Perhaps.»]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...That’s ridiculous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue as annoyance kept on building within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver still remembers the weak little boy who looked like a twig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who used to bully others with the Aljanah name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it’s been so long, he still remembers that asshole of a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not even been three years and he feels so far away.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Oliver was a year older than him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I am still far behind him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand subconsciously tightened around the glass as he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite how he shows, he doesn’t like being so weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and time again, his weakness has made him lose all those close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[«You are still better than millions, don’t undermine yourself.»]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Yeah.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a solitude formed beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure of real Aimar appeared, whom only Oliver could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fuck is happening now?\" he asked, eating a pack of chips. \"Are you at a party?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, Azariah got engaged.\" Oliver replied, smiling. \"With Siersha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew something was going on between them.\" Aimar said, grumpy. \"Fucking manwhore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver chuckled as he glanced at him. \"How is your training going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good,\" he replied. \"I just feel bored here all alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good, don’t let others distract you.\" Oliver replied, slumpily. \"Be the strongest—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck you.\" Aimar threw a handful of chips at him. \"Fucking dead ass bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver flipped his finger, only to stop awkwardly when an elf glared at him from behind Aimar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a sigh as he looked forward, finding a group walking towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do?\" Elijah said, walking closer. \"The elves are super pissed right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The vampires are no different.\" Elise replied, standing beside him. \"They are questioning the engagement’s real purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar glared at Oliver when Elise grabbed his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys don’t have to worry about that,\" Oliver said, awkwardly removing her hand. \"I think Az—Himmel knows what he is doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah gave him a look but didn’t say anything to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heather, who was standing on his side, whispered. \"Don’t you guys think, they are giving us pretty bad looks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmm?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver glanced around the place, finally noticing their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ahh, no way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver recognized the look on their faces...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they thinking of using us as bait?\" Elijah said, his voice guarded. \"To use us against him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver smiled softly, trying to get away from Elise, who was glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They won’t do anything,\" Oliver replied. \"Even if they want, they can try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Pasithea not going to come?\" Elise asked, trying to change the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tried talking with her,\" Elijah replied, scratching his cheek. \"She seems busy with her work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good that she didn’t,\" Oliver mumbled. \"Otherwise, things wouldn’t have been good if she met the Demiurge King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yeah.\" Elise replied, nodding her head. \"The elves’ condition isn’t good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Oliver was about to reply,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man now stood in front of him, looking down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aimar,\" Edel said, his voice cold and distant. \"We need to talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rubbed the back of my neck as I walked down the empty hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words that Esmeray said kept on echoing in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I just hope things go well without any problem.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t afford for things to go on like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the elves fall now, the consequences would be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In the game, the elves were supposed to win the war without any problem.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, things have come down to a point where they can lose everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If the elves fall now, then so will fall the world tree.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the world tree falls, then the gate of hell that’s present inside will also open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, I would have another headache to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My main problem is my mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the elves fall now, then things will go as Esmeray wants it to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the fall of elves, the Aljanah will fall just after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Aljanah falls, then the next house of Akasha will fall after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This all will start with the massacre of the Gerald Family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all starts with Nerissa losing herself and killing her entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this was supposed to happen later on, but maybe....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Core One of the game will end faster than it did in the game.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, we are heading to a bad ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh as I rubbed my temples, a bitter feeling crawling under my skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I am such a hypocritical person, aren’t I?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I still don’t understand why my entire goal revolves around stopping Esmeray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My work and life isn’t always about stopping her....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I still don’t know who I am, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exhaled a breath as I stood outside of a hall room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strengthening my back, I walked inside and was immediately greeted by malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demigod of the House Atretic and their Princess sat on one side of the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mariam stood close to the window, her cold golden eyes on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze remained fixed on an unwanted guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\" I asked, looking at the blue-skinned creature. \"Kryllios.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Demiurges smiled softly. \"The deal concerns the future of my race,\" he said. \"Of course, I would be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We allowed him here,\" the demigod said. \"He won’t do anything here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I coldly stared at him before my gaze landed on the boy standing by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, this is my youngest son,\" he replied, patting the child’s back. \"Say hi to uncle, Axl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child waved at me, his eyes filled with raw fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept on staring at him without any words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt about it, he is Kryllios’ son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have done my research on him and I know full well about Axl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He is the youngest son of Kryllios’ main wife,’I thought, staring at him.’Kryllios loves him more than his other children.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Something just feels wrong about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His mana is uncannyingly unstable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to keep on standing there?\" Nariya, the princess, barked. \"We don’t have all day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shifted my focus away as I moved and sat down opposite to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never got your name,\" I said, looking at the demigod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Renwick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded as I felt Mariam quietly walking and standing behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princess looked agitated as she glared at me. \"Where is my brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rested my arm on the edge of the seat, not breaking eye contact with Nariya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of my hand, branches of trees appeared behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with it was the youngest son of House Atretic, Vadanis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nariya’s eyes softened as she looked at her brother before they turned hateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she noticed his missing finger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want?\" Renwick said, folding his arms. \"And you are brave enough to take him out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can try snatching him,\" I replied, wrapping a branch around his neck. \"Let’s see whose reaction is faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renwick’s eyes turned cold as he glared at me. \"What. Do. You. Want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Renwick without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t be asking anything out of your reach,\" I replied, as I raised my hand. \"I only want two things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renwick gestured for me to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First,\" I replied, folding one of my fingers. \"Give me back the mark you placed on Zenith’s soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renwick’s eyebrow twitched, but it seems like he was expecting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Nariya frowned. \"Who is Zenith?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at her in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh, yeah.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as I remember, she isn’t that much involved in the works of her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...That’s why she later betrays them for Arthur.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a nasty bitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Granted,\" Renwick said, nodding his head. \"It will be returned to Yennefer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded as I folded my other finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, I want you to stop supporting Demiurges,\" I said firmly. \"Do not let them continue the war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a pause as Renwick leaned back slightly, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re asking for too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" I said calmly, \"I’m asking for what’s necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kryllios let out a soft laugh, tapping his fingers together. \"You act as if you’re the one in control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t say that,\" I replied, giving him a cold smile. \"But you wouldn’t be sitting here with a fake smile if you weren’t worried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you care so much?\" Nariya snapped. \"What do you even gain from protecting the elves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t answer right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the truth was... I didn’t know anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it started as guilt, or responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was just the fear of what my mother would do if no one stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need a reason,\" I said at last. \"I just know what’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renwick exhaled through his nose, his expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally said, \"Granted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let myself smile a little as I leaned back. \"Alright then, all we need now is a proper—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My words halted abruptly as Axl ran towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears trickled down his eyes as he hugged my leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Axl?\" I asked, unsure if I should touch him or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It happened in a split second but... I saw it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body inflated like a balloon, reddish mana burst out from his eyes and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion ripped through the room....
