'No, I think you've mistaken me for someone else.'
Axion's hand shallowly scanned the ashes scattered on the floor.
'I've never met the head of Berzet before.'
Unlike the black viscous object just a while ago, it quickly crumbled when rubbed.
Axion had been dreaming of something else for some time.
It was a dream where a place other than the King's palace came out. The situation and time were all different, but for one thing, the same person appeared before Axion's eyes.
As expected, a woman's face whom he can't remember after waking up. Axion was also bothered by Hilise Inoaden.
(What is the reason that I keep thinking that she is the same as the woman in my dream?)
But one of the things he saw in his dreams was not a beautiful and peaceful scene, but a scene in which people were helplessly killed by that woman.
But overlapping with a woman like that, maybe it's rude to Hilise Inoaden.
(I shouldn't have said that on that day either.)
Actually Axion was regretting it a little.
(But the first day we went to the King's palace together... When I saw Hilise Inoaden cutting her hair with her own hands and seeing her slitting her hands without hesitation, I saw her walking back calmly with a casual face and had an unbearable impulse. I ended up bringing up a horse that hit my neck in front of her.)
Of course Hilise denied what he said.
It wasn't what he expected, but it was so obvious that he wasn't surprised. But Axion somehow didn't think she had told the truth.
Slowly in time, Axion straightened up his body that was lowering.
(This, too, seemed to be an illusion, somehow strangely imbued with the scent of Hilise.)
(There were still a lot of unresolved questions. For now, it seems that some of the problems at hand should be dealt with first.)
~~This part would be a flashback on his fourth life~~
In the first moment of his fourth life, tears flowed down the cheek of Hilise, who sat in a daze.
In front of him was a dead beast wrapped in a thorny vine, and a little farther away, Ricardo and Gabriel were seen hugging.
(It's already been four times.)
Hilise was sad and could not stop crying. Just a moment ago, the chill in the bed, which was lying alone, seemed to still penetrate into my bones.
(Why is she alive again?)
'Hey, Hilise, are you okay?'
Ricardo and Gabriel also seemed embarrassed as Hilise sobbed silently in front of the body of the beast.
Hilise thought again of Diego's words. He said it was for all of them.
Until now, Hilise had never thought that Diego was wrong. It was the same this time.
Unconditional faith and affection for the family is all too natural for Hilise, and she has never even questioned it.
But now Lilith wanted to ask. There was no doubt Diego's work was for Inoaden and Ricardo.
But is it right that 'everything' he says includes Hilise? Of course Hilise wanted to believe it was.
'Father, believe it or not, I'm repeating this time for the fourth time.'
So this time, she decided to tell Diego the truth right away.
Although he was always cold and sometimes hard on Hilise throughout her life, she believed he would still listen if he spoke face-to-face.
In her last life Diego was still the least sweetest to her. Of course it was as far as it had been, but for Hilise, who had always been dry, it was like a rain after a drought.
'You're crazy. Don't move in the room until you find a way to transfer your power to Ricardo! Don't go out there and make a weird scandal!'
But he didn't believe Hillise, as it sounded absurd to Diego. Hilise tried to tell him the truth somehow, but only the look of a psychopath came back.
Diego kept Hillise locked up in his room most of the time. And then again, when the black box stuck out in front of her,
'Dad, I told you. This is the fourth time in my life.'
Hilise said without even opening the box.
'I know this is a jewel made of blood. My father forced me to eat this in the future. I don't know what blood this is, but it works even if you carry it on your body, and it works even if you eat it, right?'
Diego was appalled to hear Hilise. Hilise continued with her trembling lips open at the sight of him.
'At the end of my life, I died. If I eat this now, I'm sure I'll die before long. Dad, don't tell me you're going to repeat such a terrible thing. You're not going to do anything, are you?'
At that time, she complained desperately about how sad and painful she felt.
In the meantime, he insisted that there must be a better way than this. Diego thought he made this extreme choice in his past life because he didn't know much about the dangers.
She has built up with her beliefs again. Such as a sand castle in front of the waves, that if she says this, he will find another way.
'I almost fell for your bullshit. I don't know where they heard it from, but apparently one of the employees overheard my conversation with Ricardo.'
But the return result was disastrous.
'If what you're saying is true, isn't it all the more fortunate? That means the effect of this blood is so certain.'
Diego forced Hilise to bail him after dismissing her coldly. Hilise refused but it didn't work for Diego. She couldn't believe it. Diego didn't listen to Hillise at all.
There seemed to be no intention of him even trying to understand her mind. No, rather than that, he said it was good to know that the effect of blood was true even after hearing about how Hillise died.
Even though she said how miserable and distressing she was at the time and how painful she was...!
Hilise cried and refused to eat the jewels. There was a degree that Diego even forced her to eat them.
As a result, the effect was slower than in the past. Diego is in agony again.
What's a way to completely rip off Hillise's inner talents sooner or later? After much thought, Diego finally came up with it.
It was clear that the better effect when the blood of Callicia was swallowed and absorbed into the body was because it acted directly in the body and interfered with the flow of dysfunction.
People called the blood of the ancient generation with four families.
Then the source of this ability was blood in the body.
So... why don't you eat Callicia's jewels and absorb them directly into Hilise's blood?
Isn't that the most direct and surest way?
So Diego decided to do an experiment on Hilise.
