146 – 44. Destiny (1)
“Why did you do that?”
Elijah spoke in a short, dry voice.
“My lady. I can explain. First….”
“Why…. Why?”
Elijah did not listen to her own words.
Muttering weakly and emptyly.
He hesitated as he tried to approach.
Elijah looked back at himself.
A face without expression.
She is different from the expressionless expression she made up of the one she knew.
A face with no expression, unable to make a face.
A dead face.
It glows golden, looking at itself with empty eyes.
Tears continued to flow from his big eyes as if water were leaking out.
“Did you really have to do that? Me….”
She was about to say something, but Elijah shut her mouth.
“My lady. Calm down once….”
Judas approached and froze.
[‘Discovery of Revelation’ activated. Immune to all magic for 3 seconds.]
‘What….’
Stayed for three seconds at an incomprehensible notification.
[24 Hours until next use.]
“Awesome.”
Elijah laughed weakly.
“Even preparations for sobriety are perfectly prepared.”
Only then did Judas realize.
Her Elijah had just tried to confirm her own memory.
But she was blocked by the discovery of the revelation.
“Come to think of it, there was a moment in the past when I tried to look at your memories.”
The day he almost strangled Judas.
“At that time, I thought I was flustered and made a mistake with my magic….”
Elijah immediately shrugged her shoulders and laughed.
“That wasn’t it. It was because you were the perfect person to kill me.”
Once again, vulgar words came to Judas’ mind.
Fate is completed by the act of avoiding that fate.
Judah clenched his teeth and hurriedly denied it.
“It’s not like that! If you check again….”
“Why did you do that?”
But Elijah did not listen to Judas.
I was buried in the confidence that I had perfected myself.
“If you’re going to make me miserable like this, I’d rather kill you. Why have you been so nice to me?”
Elijah knows the answer.
After she got close to her and caught her off guard, she knew that it was to kill her most definitely and safely.
She knew, but she couldn’t help but ask. She wasn’t asking
Hoping for an answer from her.
No matter what she says, it won’t explain.
“Have I done such a big mistake to you…. Or, as a man, did you lust after my body?”
“My lady. It’s not like that, I….”
“You said I liked you. How did you feel when you heard that?”
“… ….”
“How did you feel when you said you liked me in front of my mother’s grave?”
The voice of Judas did not come out.
It felt like something had jammed her throat.
She had to say something, but she didn’t know where to start or how to say it.
How was it?
She was happy enough to fly away, although it would be a bit childish to look at the moment she heard those words.
It was the same when he returned her heart.
Individuals are others who can never be reached, so it is a fearful thing to dare to show your heart.
But he himself received that heart from Elijah.
More than that, she is happy that Elijah also received the heart she gave her.
That’s a miracle.
It was terrible at the same time.
Why did we have to meet in this form?
First, Judas decided to tell the truth.
“As I said at the time, I sincerely adore you.”
I met Elijah’s empty eyes straight.
She didn’t know if she really saw herself, but she had to say what she had to say.
“And, I know that it is difficult for you to accept. But I really… I don’t remember anything before meeting her. She’s been trained, and she doesn’t remember ever doing it. The fact that my past was like that, I also found out only recently. It’s an unbelievable excuse, but….”
“… ….”
“Actually, I am, so, originally not a person called Judas, but a person from another world….”
“… Kut!”
Elijah covered her mouth and laughed.
“Hey! Heh, heh, heh! Ahahaha-!”
While she was still weeping, Elijah burst into a delightful laugh.
She bursts into laughter until her back bends.
It was so funny that he looked like a person with tears in his eyes.
“Judas. What are we going to do now?”
Judas bit her lip. She
She didn’t expect this to happen. She
She knows, but she said.
She told him that there was no truth as certain as she was.
The truth that she was possessed by an unknown person and did not know anything about her past.
Naturally, she sounded like a ridiculous excuse to Elijah.
“You want me to believe that? Judah.”
She suddenly stopped laughing and looked straight at Judas.
“Do your best.”
“… ….”
“If you’re going to kill me, just kill me quickly. Don’t play with people.”
“My lady, I….”
“Kill them quickly!”
Elijah cried out that her throat was torn.
A scream like a scream froze Judas’ body.
“If you’re going to kill me, kill me now! Please… ! Don’t make me more miserable, just kill me!”
Crying out, she sat down on the floor.
She smacked her floor with her little hands.
With her hair disheveled, she starts begging.
“Please…. Judah. Just kill me…. Please….”
“… ….”
Judas brushed her bangs in frustration.
What should I do to convince her?
He felt lost in front of her exhausted and begging her to kill her, unable to control her anger.
Judah knelt before Elijah.
She’s a bit late, but even now, she’s telling only her truth, and I had to convince her.
“I like it a lot, very much. It’s the first time I’ve experienced these feelings and experiences, so I couldn’t cope with it maturely. Sorry. When I first found out, I should have told you beforehand….”
Would it have really been different if I had said it earlier?
I don’t know.
Maybe, maybe not.
If that was the case in the past, it is meaningless to assume.
It’s easy to check for a wrong answer and then decide that it would have been better had you picked the right answer then.
It’s like pointing a finger at other people’s work.
Until you see the results, you never know.
“I know it’s hard to believe. I know, but I really didn’t come here to kill the lady….”
While she was talking, Judas suddenly lost her mind.
Let’s just say that I didn’t come to kill Elijah.
By the way, what is the truth about killing Maria?
Will the past change because of this apology and confession?
Does she say that she doesn’t remember, does that mean it never happened?
Could the dead Mary even come to life?
Has the wound in Elijah’s heart healed?
What should I do?
“Why not kill….”
While Judas was confused, Elijah muttered to himself.
“Why not kill me…. Now is the best time to kill me….”
A brief moment of silence.
Soon she realized.
“… Ah. I see It’s a ploy to capture without killing. To use my power. Right? You intend to use the power of the sun.”
“No. Miss, please tell me….”
Elijah staggered to his feet.
Only eyes stained with mad fire shine on the shadowed face.
Judah also looked up at her and stood up cautiously.
That moment when your instincts are thrilled.
Elijah, who had been letting her hair hang down helplessly, lifts her head.
Glowing golden eyes glared at Judas, and her fire radiated from her.
Golden fireballs rain down on Judas.
At that time, Judas stopped watching.
The second tragedy.
Elijah pouring her magic upon himself with her tears and angry face.
That scene was unfolding right in front of her right now.
Judas raised her arm reflexively.
Before her moment, she remembered the last day she died in her life.
Right after she came here, she was vague, but while staying, she remembered the last day.
The time when she was stabbed in the stomach and died.
She lived a life that was not very meaningful, so she buried it.
When she closed her eyes tightly and opened them, Judas body was fine.
She came up late.
Due to the full moon, she herself is immune to fire.
However, the full moon did not activate.
All the golden fire Elijah shot out missed him.
It didn’t catch fire or explode anywhere.
It has completely disappeared.
“Ah…. Ah, ahaha….”
Elijah sat down in her seat with a weak smile.
Even in the midst of this, her heart skipped a beat at the thought that he might be hurt.
Yes. She was worried about him
It was such a terrible feeling.
So, just before reaching it, it changed its trajectory and then disappeared.
I did it instinctively.
It was disgusting.
I also have these feelings.
Even that assassin who has been deceiving himself, staying by my side and building up feelings for me.
I was disillusioned with everything in this world and fed up with it.
“My lady… ?”
Judas noticed that she had deliberately slashed her magic after hitting her with a comb.
She knelt down in front of her, who carefully sat down.
“Judas….”
Elijah looked at Judas.
The burning eyes of Elijah and the eyes of Judas meet.
Different golden eyes that shine.
Elijah clasped Judas’ hand and held it together.
Even in the midst of doubt, Judas quietly offered his hand.
A warm sunlight-like energy permeates Judas when his skin still touches him like this.
The same goes for Elijah.
A pleasant chill, like a cool late summer night breeze after rain, enters her body.
If it wasn’t for this, she wouldn’t have been so hung up on him.
Abomination and at the same time endearing.
My head is all messed up.
I can’t think of reason.
“I hate you so much.”
“… ….”
“But more than that, I like you so much.”
“… ….”
“I wish you would die, but if you do, I will die just like the old days.”
“… ….”
“If it’s for you, if what you want is my life, I think I could just die. Beyond liking…. I love you very, very much.”
“… ….”
“But then, what about my mother? Huh… ? And I, who couldn’t achieve or protect anything, what on earth should I do in this situation….”
Her sobbing puts her in her talking, Judah couldn’t say anything.
She just pulled her hand into hers.
She carefully took Elijah into her arms.
Elijah did not refuse, and leaned her body on her own bosom as before.
Soon she started crying like her own child.
Small and precious, she hugged her body temperature and said.
“I, too, love you, very much….”
Somehow, that confession didn’t seem to reach me.
*
“… Ellie?”
After cleaning her bedroom, Leah saw a flash of light.
Golden lights.
It exploded in the direction of Elijah’s office.
As far as Leah knows, Judas and Elijah are together there.
By the way, golden sparks.
That must be magic to hurt the other person.
‘What’s going on… ?’
She instinctively felt it.
Something is about to happen between Elijah and Judas.
I had to stop it before it was too late.
Leah hurried to her office.
