246. Return (6)

"Abama is...."

At first glance, tension appears on Logan's face as he opens his mouth.

"Did you forcibly take Lord Sharon's body? What happened to her soul now?"

[...] ... .]

Seonghwang opened his eyes slightly wide and looked at Logan. It seems to have been a quite unexpected question for him.

But for Logan, it was a natural question.

It hasn't been long since I heard that Cadmus, the first saint, had taken the bodies and extinguished the souls of past saints. He is still manipulating the body of Saint Seo Yi-seo as he pleases.

Therefore, from Logan's point of view, who did not know about psychic powers or the decision to burn, he might have wondered whether Seonghwang had also done the same thing to Sir Sharon.

[...] okay. I understand what you are worried about.]

Seonghwang answered bitterly and once again tapped the floor with his toe.

[Not like that. It's just that Sir Sharon has special abilities that are different from ordinary people, and I'm just borrowing them for a little while. Currently, her spirit is alive and well, and everything I do is done with her consent. So you can rest assured.]

It was unfamiliar to hear a voice filled with thoughtfulness, but Logan still felt that his words contained a ring of truth.

"Of course, I honestly thought that Abama would have done such a thing..."

Logan, who had been flustered without knowing that the atmosphere of the festival seemed to have become gloomy, soon closed his mouth with a cold expression on his face.

What kind of useless excuse are you making? Isn't it true that you doubted him?

Although I have always thought highly of the Emperor's personality, haven't I always reminded myself that I must never let down my guard since I am the emperor of the empire?

[Is that all you're curious about?]

Seonghwang asked again in a somewhat casual voice.

'What on earth does this person want to tell me?'

Logan, who was furrowing his brows inexplicably, suddenly remembered the explanation that Seonghwang had given in passing when he arrived here.

-There are many factors that determine a person's presence. Among them, memories and experiences have a great influence on the appearance.

If it were a coincidence, wouldn't it be truly unfortunate?

It was as if he knew that he was worried about Mores' presence.

'... no. 'It's no coincidence.'

Logan realized that Seonghwang was still staring at him.

It was the gaze of someone who was called the representative of God and feared by everyone. Eyes that scatter a deep and sharp brilliance that seems to instantly see through not only a person's thoughts but also the subconscious beyond that.

'I really want to tell you about Mores!'

As expected, this scary person doesn't know anything.

But Logan felt a sense of welcome rather than fear. Aren't you grateful that you deliberately lead people to ask questions that are usually difficult to ask?

He decided not to miss this long-awaited opportunity.

"Yes. There's something I've been curious about for a while. I heard that a person's soul can be seen intact through Abamama's eyes. Is that true?"
