That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

At the Wall Tower-1

boo- boo-

It’s still too early for anyone to wake up,

YuRia slowly opened her eyes at the sad cry of an owl.

Her body was hungry because she hadn’t eaten for a day, but her thoughtful brain couldn’t recall hunger.

I met Robert, and the day passed like that.

I locked myself in my room to have some alone time.

Was she wrong? Yuria stared at the blank wall.

In order to correct the wavering mind, to correct one’s thoughts.

I reflected that my mind was shaken for a moment.

For a moment, he showed emotion at Robert’s words.

There was no need to shake at all.

Didn’t he always make the right decisions about his family?

Even so, if you have a reason to question your beliefs.

Well. YuRia pondered while staring at the wall.

The long hair that had been falling down had already been cut short.

With bobbed hair barely reaching her shoulders, YuRia shook her head once, and a light breath exhaled from her mouth.

“…I’ll admit, I was wrong.”

He seemed to know why Robert hated him.

It was because he was too weak-minded.

It must be because he held the words of his mother who died someday in a corner of his heart, and what he did with the excuse of caring about his younger brother was not right.

What he did to rehabilitate himself into a member worthy of the family.

Who would have known that he would ruin Robert this far.

should have been harsher.

It should have been handled so that those eyes had only reverence and loyalty to the family, not feelings of resentment.

Didn’t you blame your younger brother for being weak?

However, it was himself who ate his heart weakly. Cutting his hair was to repent of this sin.

I thought he had changed since he hadn’t shown a pathetic appearance lately, but he hated himself.

Saying something like that to Sogaju was a sin in and of itself.

YuRia, thinking for a moment about whether to punish her, shook her head.

There was no need to punish him right away. No matter how many sins you have committed, shouldn’t you give them time to atone for them?

“Because I give you a cow.”

The aspect of being generous to members of the family was also an aspect that a Sogaju should have.

Close your eyes for a moment, then open them slowly.

The scenery in the room illuminated by the soft moonlight was clearer than before.

On the night when the full moon disappeared, blue eyes shone in the distorted moonlight.

…the light was pale, cold and chilly, as if frozen.

After the full moon festival, several events were held.

There was a meeting of the heads of families, led by the Duke of Taylor, and a hunting festival in which animals were caught and presented to the Lady.

I had no right not to participate in the event.

Even if he was told not to do it in the first place, he had intended to participate, so if I had to point out the reason, it was the princess.

“The closest thing to the crown prince was the princess.”

It was much better than my relationship with Yuria, but we still had a rough relationship.

Still, he needed her to approach the crown prince.

What I need is preparation to become the prince’s aide,

It wasn’t that difficult to approach as long as there was a family called Taylor.

However, what I set as my goal was to become the Crown Prince’s ‘faithful subject’.

Only then would he be able to see the prince’s every move.

It would be best to watch him from the nearest place and stab him in the back when the time comes.

It was like treason, but in fact the empire didn’t mean much to me.

Wouldn’t it be better for the empire to disappear?

However, single-minded strength alone is not enough.

At least, I needed a force that would fully support my will.

It was necessary to have that force to slaughter the crown prince, so we should start gathering information starting with Arwen right now.

“Then, the last place I’m heading to…is this?”

A map depicting the topography of the empire, my gaze turned to the ecliptic drawn in the middle of the map.

The zodiacal Eden, a human paradise that was created by the moon god descending long ago.

Since they had never been invaded by a foreign enemy, the number of times the imperial palace was stained with blood was literally one on one hand.

Perhaps it could be said that it is a city that symbolizes the prosperity of the empire.

It was kind of a strange feeling.

If my wish comes true, isn’t it the sound that the imperial palace itself will disappear from the empire?

The prince will die, and of course the imperial family, who will become my enemy, will not be successful either.

With the quill in my hand, I drew a line where the imperial palace was.

This map could be said to be a plan that I made on my own.

He had no intention of advancing to the imperial palace right away, as he would have to gather his forces step by step to help the crown prince.

Even so, wouldn’t it be just one fire moth?

I had the experience of the last episode.

That was the reason why he wasn’t particularly nervous despite making a grandiose plan to overthrow the imperial family.

Although it is difficult to fully recover the state, it will be quite helpful if you return to a certain level.

The last assassin was on the low level, so he caught it, but it was still difficult to fight against several knights.

How many imperial troops were there to subdue me in the past?

I remember that it was well over 500.

After killing all of them, the princess appeared and died. I didn’t intend to fight alone this time, so it should be fine.

The only problem was that there was no one who could match the meaning of treason.

You can’t do anything alone.

I only realized this after a few rounds.

But the more you think about it, the bigger the problem becomes.

Perhaps, it would be okay to think slowly now.

There were a few that immediately popped into my mind.

And the person I think is the most important among them is Adele Ygritte.

My gaze, which stayed on the map, turned to the handkerchief that I couldn’t return last time.

As much as I promised to go to the north, I planned to visit before the end of the year.

If she doesn’t come again this time, it’s only natural that she’s likely to get angry because of her personality.

However, my concern was whether to warn her of what she was about to experience.

Things to save won’t change, but if I’m not careful, she might doubt me.

Compared to a few days ago, my thoughts and attitude have changed quite a bit.

It was because he abandoned the thoughts that were dominated by neglect and aiding and abetting.

I am living my 101st life, but after getting rid of my lingering attachments, I made up my mind to think of this as my first life.

Since so many things had changed in the first place, it was safe to say that they had nothing in common with their past lives.

Being tied to the past only complicates your thoughts.

So, I slightly modified the plan. Rather than a method close to assassination, I would rather break everything and change it.

So, I decided to save Adele.

Accusing her of treason is a definite future, and it is unknown whether she will follow my will in such a situation.

It was better to think about this part when the situation came up.

So what should I start with first?

This part had already been sorted out to some extent.

“The things I have to use are the princess and Taylor.”

There was nothing wrong with the princess, but it was true that he had some doubts lately.

Did the princess really know ‘nothing’ about the prince trying to kill me?

If he knew, he hid it from me, and if he didn’t know, that’s weird in its own way.

So there was no guilt.

Rather, if I approached her in this way and found out her true color, that would be a bigger benefit to me.

It is better to bite your tongue than to be taken advantage of by someone.

I’d rather find out first and use it on my side.

And Taylor… has been thinking about it quite a bit.

Because he had never touched the Taylor family.

I’ve killed everyone and erased the name Taylor, but I’ve never risen to the position of head of household myself.

I didn’t even think of going up, as if I had decided that my place would be just here.

However, it was not necessary until this life.

YuRia no longer had the slightest meaning to me.

So there was no need to consider it, and I felt that my current position was too low to properly use the name Taylor.

Thanks to our Sogaju, who has already taken away the authority, isn’t my position in my duke’s house also ambiguous?

It’s the future where I become the head of household. When I thought about it, it was funny.

I was planning to destroy the imperial family with my own hands, but the family head, who should be most loyal to the imperial family, took the lead.

It’s a future that hasn’t been decided yet, but there’s nothing I can’t do if I’m determined to do it.

There was no longer any hesitation, so if you want to do it, you do it.

Yeah, like Adele once said.

“Because I decided that.”

Tak, I covered the map with various markings on it again with a board and looked around.

It was a pretty difficult map for anyone to see.

To openly draw a line against the imperial family, no matter who saw it, wouldn’t it be a conspiracy of treason?

I smiled for some reason. It was certain that his heartbeat, which had been felt for quite some time, was beating faster than before.

I completely hid the map, confirmed that there was no presence around me, and sat down in my chair.

It seemed like he was getting tired from using his head a lot.

Once I had a rough plan, there would be no problem moving forward, but what awaited me in front of me was a future I had no idea about.

There were not just one or two variables that immediately came to mind.

At least, it must be that it is quite different from the future that I knew originally.

The closest schedule was the family meeting held in the imperial city.

As far as I remember, there was no incident there, but it was certain that I could meet the princess.

They meet and become friends, meet the crown prince and become his aides.

I think this might be the current goal.

He had planned to meet the crown prince before autumn was over.

‘That way the plan will work to some extent.’

Of course, there may be ill feelings at this point as they accused me of treason, but it would be difficult to dismiss me as a seemingly loyal subject.

It was better to keep at least my outward appearance close to that of an innocent servant with no trace of integrity.

Just as I was lost in thought, a wind suddenly blew through the open window.

Come to think of it, it was autumn now.

After the full moon festival, the weather always changed quite abruptly, and the wind, which always seemed to be hot, would cool down in an instant.

I close my eyes as the wind cools the sweat on my forehead.

Leaning my head on the backrest, I enjoyed the momentary relaxation that came to me.

Only then did a variable I forgot about come to mind.

I had forgotten for a while, but what Saint Adrian told me last time.

Did you say that Mirazen and Adrian are friends?

I knew it, but I didn’t know if it could be applied quite effectively this time.

When we met last time, didn’t we say that we would meet again someday?

If we meet again, wouldn’t this trip to the zodiac be that time?

“…If we meet again, this time it might be fate.”

It was Adrian who hadn’t been able to meet because he was always out of touch, as if he was always twisted somewhere.

It seemed that meeting in that episode was not permitted.

Whenever I needed to find her, she was always away.

However, this time it was different. Even if you don’t really want to meet, even if you don’t have the heart to meet.

As if it was going to happen like this, we came across it naturally.

Adele comes to the full moon festival and runs into the saintess on the street once again.

I don’t know what these things are trying to say to me, but if there was an opportunity, I had no intention of missing it.

if chance

Really…if this is fate.

This time was to see the end.
