He gained Katrin's sincere confession and the power of the underworld that carried her life;
After the devil died, his fourteen newly born children were divided into two batches and separated into two places;
The rise of Ipoli, Sharlanna's growth, Lovna's battle in her hometown...
The conspiracy in Glory City, the death of Katrin, Sirna's experience in the Holy See...
…………
In the past, he seemed to be making decisions based on his own heart and reason, but in fact, he had never truly grasped the direction of his destiny.
He originally thought that as a time traveler selected by the system, he could assist the destined queen to achieve great things.
However, every time he makes a misjudgment and pays more attention to one of the Silna Lovna sisters, treating one of them as the future queen, it will cause the other girl to make radical changes in loss and fear. choose.
When he accompanied Sirna, Lovna was bewitched by the devil and transformed into a witch who caused countless riots; when he accompanied Lovna, Sirna became a tool deceived by the Pope and almost became Saint Ann IV. accomplice...
At this time, Charles suddenly felt that this was the so-called system that asked him to help teach the truth about the "Great Queen". This was the fate of the two queens:
Each of them has obvious advantages and disadvantages: one has extraordinary talent and rationality, and achieves extraordinary things, but may become cold and ruthless; the other has strong vitality and emotions, has a clear distinction between love and hate, but is easily dependent on others.
Like Dionysus and Apollo.
After Ciel arrived in this world, they gained knowledge, hope and love from him.
Two growing up girls, in order to gain the appreciation of their teacher and to please the person they love most, become jealous, alienated and resentful of each other.
In the past, he seemed to be making decisions based on his own heart and reason, favorably helping the person he thought would become the queen, but in fact, even the slightest favoritism would only end up causing regret and disappointment for another person. A sprout in my heart.
Because exclusive and paranoid love is the strongest driving force.
Driven by the strongest and most impulsive desire of love, in order to get his attention and response, they will make various choices: make deals with devils, climb to power, bring killing, riots, subversion and chaos, and let the obsolescence The decadent world has changed, causing the old pattern to be broken...
In the end, driven by the destiny formed by countless choices and the superposition of cause and effect, they, who have become twisted and sick, will be sent to the apex of power in the east and west of the mainland.
Until he was alienated by power, distorted by obsession, and became the person who promoted history.
He felt truly powerless. In this series of intertwined webs of fate, every time he thought he made a reasonable choice, he inadvertently led to bad consequences.
When thinking of this, Ciel pondered for a long time.
Then, he asked the system: "If I had stayed in Ipoli, accompanied the two girls, and not left anyone behind...ignoring the mission you said of 'assisting the Queen to achieve great things', what if, I was just simply If I love them deeply, will everything be different?"
System: "The plague will still break out, the devil will still rise, the Pope and her husband will still be troubled by obsession... These crises will still come, and your two students will eventually grow up.
"You know, Ciel, forcibly avoiding the future will only make the future come early. Everything is destined, as long as you are here, they will have conflicts."
After a long silence, Ciel clicked his tongue.
"Who are you? 'The System'? Why do you have the same voice as a demon? Why did you bring me to this world, and why do you want me to bear such a fate?"
"I'm just a tool to guide you to complete your mission. I only do what I should do." It replied: "You can think of me as a devil, an angel, or the narrator and recorder of your story... I I am just the pusher of fate, I am an existence without beginning and end.”
Charles: "Then to you, me, Hilna, Lovna, St. Ann Pope, Monroe... what are we?"
System: "You are part of the destiny, a character in the story. That's all. We are all characters who perform our duties step by step."
………………
At that moment, facing this strange and indifferent system, Ciel felt not only anger, but also powerlessness.
He didn't want to believe everything the system said.
Destiny should not be a dead end with a predetermined outcome, it should have variables.The future of Sirna and Lovna shouldn't be like that——
They should not be puppets who play their respective roles step by step and finally come to the end. They should be the hands that write the story.
But, what should I do?
Katrin.
When he was distressed, the beautiful blond girl suddenly appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
"Lord Charles... wasn't my destiny changed by you?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion or a conjecture, but in short, she spoke: "As a child who was destined to die young, didn’t I get a new life because of your existence? Even if I still ushered in death, everything in my completely different life Isn’t the happiness you have brought about by the changes you have brought about?”
"Katelyn..."
"It's not over yet, Lord Ciel. We are all here."
Beside her, the phantoms of St. Ann IV and Monroe seemed to appear, the people who were supposed to be Charles's family.
However, when Charles came back to his senses, there were still only the corpses of Monroe and the Pope in front of him.
162. Eldest daughter and eldest son
He made a decision.
"System...So, what you desire is to make my students become queens. I hope that they will become paranoid and fanatical rulers driven by jealousy, resentment and twisted emotions, and then change the pattern of the continent and bring about innovation. ……Yeah?"
System: "That's right."
"Then...if I leave them, if I secretly take responsibility for them, just like Katrin took on the curse of the underworld for me, can I change their fate? Can they truly reconcile? Can they no longer stop? fight each other"
"Oh?"
The tone of the system changed slightly, as if the person in front of it acted beyond its expectations.
…………
After that, Charles found his eldest daughter Sherlana, and the child he met for the first time - Emil.
The two of them are the leaders of the children Lovna and Silna respectively take care of.
Ciel told them everything: his past, the existence of the system, the secret of time travel, and... the future of Sirna and Lovna.
He told his two children that he wanted to change their destined fate.
He can no longer stay and become the source of mutual hatred and jealousy between the two girls.
"Silna can only think calmly and rationally when it comes to matters that have nothing to do with me; Lovna can only shoulder responsibilities alone if she gets rid of me.
"I may have to leave for a long time, ten years... 20 years... I will kill and defeat their enemies as an unknown person in the darkness of the mainland, whether they are stale nobles, rebellious rebels, or invading barbarians. .
"I will help their empire survive the crisis and provide them with help and guidance at critical moments.
"When the new structure of the Western Continent takes shape and a new chapter of history begins, Lovna and Sirna will be freed from this prison. They will be freed from their responsibilities, and I will come back to find them.
"But I'm not enough. I need your help.
"Sharlanna, I hope you will never use those twisted powers of the underworld again. I know that power is powerful enough, but the lessons of Saint Ann IV are right in front of you.
"I hope you won't be greedy for the power and longevity that power brings. I also believe that even without the power of the underworld, Luovna will still love you, and she will truly grow up.
"I hope that you can use your reason and wisdom to support Lovna and give her the strength to persevere when she is shaken and sad.
"My leaving without saying goodbye will definitely make them very sad. I hope you can take good care of her and don't let her be sad about it.
"Emil, I'm sorry, as a father, I couldn't give you much care and concern, nor could I accompany you through your childhood.
"Furthermore, since Sirna has the power of the underworld that belongs to you, she will definitely live in self-blame and fear. I hope you will not let her worry too much, and give her recognition and praise when she has done enough. .
"They are sisters after all. Don't let them be jealous of me and alienate each other. When they are tired, you can find a way to relieve them of their burden. When all the responsibilities entrusted to them by fate are completed, and when their respective empires are stable, When a new era has truly begun, I will definitely come back to find them."
He originally thought that the two children would be resistant and embarrassed by this, but after thinking deeply, they gave a decisive answer.
"I will, father." Sharlana said: "I have already had similar thoughts. I will not let this power become the guilt that distorts my humanity. I would rather experience a short life as an ordinary person than As a corrupt ruler, he became a monster who lost his humanity.
"Furthermore, I will never let the one I love die of old age in front of me. I will find a way to transfer my life to Sister Lovna. I will not let her reunite with you because of the limitation of lifespan. , and full of regrets.”
Emil also nodded in agreement: "We will protect Ms. Sirna, no matter what kind of troubles and challenges she encounters. We know that Ms. Sirna has rarely enjoyed true family love except her father. We will become She relied on me to share my stress and pain until the end of my life.”
Neither child actually wanted to be separated from their father, but they still agreed.
"Please."
In this way, Charles left without saying goodbye.
But he didn't really leave either.
Ciel was always there when Sirna was in trouble.
He divided the national alliance that intended to overthrow Sirna, killed religious leaders who might pose a threat, secretly searched for heresies intent on reviving, and collected a large number of magic books over the years and transported them to Glory City to assist the magic academy. of construction.
Ciel was always there when Lovna was in trouble.
He silently executed the local nobles who intended to assassinate Lovna, stopped the terrifying mage who attacked Lovnania, continued to punish and kill the enemies who threatened Ipoli, and executed and punished the villains who committed the most heinous crimes in various places. Give Ipoli all possible support by all means.
There is no final battle once and for all. If you want to truly change your destiny, you can only face endless trivial matters and struggles.
But as long as he does more, brings more changes to the world, and works harder for their empire, the burdens that fall on Sirna and Lovna will be lighter.
"Ciel, your achievements over the years truly amaze me."
The originally vague system suddenly turned into a talkative one. Ever since Charles killed Saint Ann IV, he had often appeared and pointed at him.
At this time, the system looked at what Charles had done and couldn't help but sigh: "...You seem to have really changed the fate of your two students. They should not go to their own ends because of fighting, jealousy and hatred. Destroyed. They should be reconciled soon."
"Shut up you."
In any case, it seems that destiny has really changed a little.
When Ciel disappeared, the two queens who hugged each other formed an alliance to support each other. Even though they were estranged from each other, they would occasionally exchange letters.
They rely on each other in their hearts.
Occasionally, Ciel would hide in the crowd and watch the two students from a distance.
When he looked at Sirna giving a speech at the entrance of the newly built magic academy, he would notice the tension and exhaustion hidden under her glamorous appearance.
When he looked at Luovna receiving the envoy in the palace of Yiboli, he would notice the wrinkles and scars hidden under her exquisite makeup.
And his children, Sharlana, Emil... they also silently shared the pressure that belonged to the two queens.
They know that Shire is here, so they are not afraid of difficulties and challenges, nor are they confused about the future.
"If we are not relieved of our heavy responsibilities and if our empire makes the continent more prosperous and beautiful, we will meet again."
However, their empire is still full of crises.There are more challenges than Charles expected. Just ten or twenty years are not enough for him to solve the affairs that threaten Sirna and Lovna.
Moreover, just eight years after he left No. 20 without saying goodbye, the system gave him a second mission.
"Char. I suggest you leave the Western Continent quickly, pass through the eastern border of the East Ipoli Empire, and go to the dark realm further east.
"There is a new mission for you.
“In that area where demi-humans, aliens and demons gather, a powerful demon is about to appear. The cursed half-dragon hybrid will devour all enemies and become an unstoppable dragon species.
"Your second mission is to find this monster, stop this guy, and end the sinful bloodline. Otherwise, the Western Continent where you are located will also be threatened."
The Dark Realm is different from the Western Continent occupied by pure humans.It was another vast continent connected to the Western Continent by only a few narrow channels, but it was completely unsuitable for human habitation.
In that dangerous area composed of snowfields, deserts, and wastelands, there were once strongholds and nests of demihumans, alien species, and heretical cults.Only those guys can survive in that barren and terrifying land.
Although those guys also instinctively believe in the eternal Heavenly Father, their way of enveloping the envelope is more primitive, weird and twisted.
In the many expeditions organized by the Eternal Holy See, the huge Eastern Expedition army resisted the magical suppression caused by regional changes and destroyed the heretical settlements and city-states on the west side of the Dark Territory that might threaten the Western Continent one after another.
Charles's old father-in-law, Monroe, participated in several of these expeditions and made a lot of achievements.Several of the dragons he killed were encountered during the Eastern Expedition.
However, more than a hundred years have passed since the last expedition organized by the Holy See.This has become history within history. Even the Holy See is almost finished at this time, and the last warriors who participated in the expedition have long since died.
In this long period of time, no force from the Western Continent has ever wanted to return to that dangerous land.Even the expedition to the Dark Realm has become a legend.
Now, people basically believe that there is no longer any alien civilization in that land that is not suitable for life.Only fairy tales, legends and history books have some descriptions of the Dark Realm.
"I'm not going." Charles replied: "I don't want to get into the unnecessary trouble you are crocheting. I want to protect my students and my children."
"However, if you don't nip the crisis in the bud, the rising devil will cause carnage in the dark realm, then turn around and head west, threatening the people you want to protect."
The system seemed to anticipate his answer: "I won't hide anything from you this time. When the time comes, I will tell you directly who the devil is, and I will also tell you what to do to eliminate that guy."
"…………how long will it takes?"
"One or two years, at most three or four years," the system estimated: "Don't worry, I will help you get rid of the magic suppression of mortals in the dark realm. The power of the underworld you possess can also help you isolate those evil spirits. Intrusion. This time you don’t need to support any great queen or make a career. Your mission this time is just to kill the enemies that pose a threat, just like what you did for your students in the past.”
"Second mission..."
"Yes." The system continued: "My guarantee to you is still valid. Charles, I believe you can complete all tasks."
The system did not lie to him this time, and it was indeed a task that was not difficult for him.
But after that, he did not obey the arrangement of the system or "fate".
So, when all the dust settled, thousands of years had passed.
