Duke's Son Wish To Follow The Story

Chapter 19 : Phil Austin

Leon gazes at them, comprehending the source of their anxiety. They are concerned about his well-being, and that's precisely why he desires to harness Phil's power.

'I wish to alleviate the suffering immediately.'

Phil's power is essential to Leon because he seeks to utilize it in gradually organizing the memories within his body. This way, he aims to exert control over the memories until they reach a state where it's acceptable to embrace them all at once.

Even though it might still be painful after that moment, he believed it was sufficient. He was convinced that his soul could effortlessly assimilate the remaining memories.

'I can now retrieve some of Leon's memories... not everything, but this marks a step toward complete memory absorption.'

For now, let's set aside concerns about potential after-effects and instead focus on the promising future he envisions along this path.

"uugghhus uggghhhhrateughh"

"Employ it in moderation...he said."

Luis once more conveys Leon's message.

Leon smiles inwardly and proceeds to blink.

Once.

Twice.

'Oh my, Luis... I somehow love you.'

He gazes at Luis with admiration. However, as usual, Leon's joyful expression remains unseen by them.

"Ah... so what Young Master Leon is suggesting is... we should utilize the power in moderation... but... for how long?" Phil inquires, peering into Leon's eyes. Leon shifts his gaze in Phil's direction in response.

"ughhhhhong guuughhhhan"

"I believe... he's implying... for as long as you're able."

Blink twice*

Leon blinked in agreement. Everyone nodded in acknowledgment of Leon's response.

"Then I will adhere to that, Young Master Leon. I'll give it my utmost effort," Phil declares, offering a warm smile towards Leon. A sense of relief washes over Leon.

'At least now... I can take the next step towards a pain-free path.'

Leon closed his eyes tranquilly, prompting Phil to gaze at him with a sense of pity.

'Aigoo... just look at him, pretending to be at peace with this situation...'

Unaware of Phil's thoughts, Leon was genuinely content in that moment. He eagerly anticipated escaping from his pain.

'After this pain subsides, I might be able to speak... Huff... I'll have to urge them to halt the investigation into these matters because...'

If the investigation resumes, the diary he tossed beneath the bed might be uncovered.

'Then... my— I mean, Leon's secret will be exposed... that could be troublesome.'

With these thoughts in mind, the treatment began.

Knock knock

"Come in."

Step step

The individual behind the door enters.

"How's big bro, Father?" Luis inquires as he steps into Leon's room.

Duke Carl turns his head in Luis's direction.

"Well... he appears to be fine for now. How's your mother?"
