Wherever the sound came from, Tyra took a step back as if stumbling. It wasn’t until late that a voice that seemed to have lost its soul lingered around me. The shaking eyes, as if in disbelief, denied something.
Everyone’s eyes were suddenly focused on one place.
“No way… . That can’t be possible. Something, something… There must have been a mistake.”
Tyra shook her head in confusion. Her white eyes, trembling slightly, closed and opened nervously. Tyra’s lost eyes immediately turned to Agatha.
“Agatha, you know. What’s on the next floor… You know, right? But why… why… .”
“Tira. “The Implementation Empire on the next layer is, as the guide said, our country.”
“Is that true? no… no. That can’t be possible. “No!”
Tyra swallowed nervously and then let out a sharp sound. The disbelief etched on her face conveyed how lost she felt. She looked as if she had been walking well but lost her footing and fell down.
The crossroads of dreams that were different from Tyra’s that Agatha had talked about might have started here. The grand duke’s dream, which Tyra had blind faith in, eventually returned with the result of derailment. With negativity and distrust.
“Tira, this is the way I saw.”
“You saw it? What do you mean… . That can’t be possible, Agatha. In my dreams… !”
The person who silenced Tyra was Lord Theo of the Protection Empire. Theo, who interrupted Tyra, slowly shook her head.
“Tira… Stop talking. It is dangerous to comment any further than this. “There are no restrictions on you.”
Tyra’s distorted eyes showed resentment. However, the moment her gaze landed on Baek Do-hyeon, she hurriedly sank as if she had committed a sin.
It was around that time that Agatha turned her back in cold silence. The clatter of her horse’s hooves announced her path.
“I have to get ready, so I’ll leave first. I think I’ll go to the tower as soon as my maintenance is complete, so I think this will be my last time saying hello here. Don’t worry too much. I will do my best to come back healthy. So everyone, I’ll see you again later.”
No one could utter a word of farewell. There was an unstoppable majesty about her. Tyra did not look up from her gaze on the floor until Agatha’s footsteps faded away and the figure faded into a dot.
Only her trembling hands and tightly pursed lips represented her unknown state of mind. Until the end, Tyra did not look at Baek Do-hyeon.
What that meant, Sehyun didn’t know at the time. At that time, I didn’t know about the ferociousness of the dangerously floating air or Baek Do-hyeon’s silently disparaging gaze.
***
Upon hearing the news of Baek Do-hyun’s withdrawal from the league, Jae-young Lee, of course, went wild. He had to stop me several times from wanting to bring him, even if it meant eating him.
It’s not that I didn’t think about persuading Sehyeon again and bringing him back. Still, it was better to let people come to their own feet after understanding the outcome. Especially if it is someone you will be with forever.
“How is that 8th place bastard any different from the ones who came back because they messed up?! If you think it won’t work, come back, I’ll never see you again! Brother, just pretend you don’t know because I’m going to eat that bastard. huh?”
“Just leave it alone. “You’re going to come back with a lot of regrets anyway, so what are you going to do?”
“Ah, he doesn’t regret anything! “I don’t know if it’s a red-and-white plate!”
The grinning Pom seemed very angry. She deserved it. Even if the time we spent together was short, he was a colleague with memories of shared joys and sorrows. The reason Lee Jae-young appears like this may be because of his strong sense of betrayal towards Baek Do-hyun.
Even if he pretended not to, Lee Jae-young also had a lot of faith in Baek Do-hyun. As much as Sehyun.
“Why are you making such a fuss because you can get something naturally by going to the tower? “Brother, then can I just lightly hit the guy on the back of the head for a moment?”
“Jaeyoung, eat some snacks.”
“Ah, the problem is snacks now!”
“Then you eat it all?”
“Uh, my brother ate it all… Hey, instead of doing that, can I come back for a moment while you eat? huh? “You really go there without even a mouse or a bird knowing?”
“Let’s be patient, our adult Jaeyoung.”
At those words, Jaeyoung Lee finally seemed to give up and sank down on the sofa. He leaned back against the backrest and made a vain expression, as if he had lived all his life.
It was at that time that the light came on from the horse-mounted communication device attached to one side of the room. While Se-hyeon and Lee Jae-young’s eyes were focused at the same time, Kyle, who was guarding Se-hyun’s side, quickly approached and checked the communication code and told Se-hyeon the name of the empire.
“This is Ardyn of the Cavalry Empire, Lord.”
“Connect me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, one side of the reception room was stained pure white. It didn’t take long for the video to take hold. Agatha was standing beyond the video, holding a spear. Behind her, a huge waterfall was seen pouring down with a refreshing sound.
“What’s going on, Agatha? “It seems like it’s only been a few hours since we parted ways.”
[I see, haha. I guess I couldn’t figure it out. Still, could you please understand? I’ve contacted you like this because I have a favor to ask of you, so please listen to me.]
Agatha was standing there looking the same as usual. She didn’t even show up to shake off her nervousness. She accepted this fact as it came to her and stepped into her own dream.
“… “Let’s listen first.”
[Tomorrow, will you please see me off?]
It was an unexpected statement. Sehyeon looked at Agatha with a look of surprise.
“What are you doing, Mr. Fen and Mr. Li Jeong?”
[Fen is busy with alliance work, and Li Jeong is not in charge of monitoring the Baekdohyeon army. So, I just want to be seen off by Jaeyoung Lee and you. That’s because I don’t want it to be a lonely road.]
“Is there anything special that needs to be seen off?”
[Why not?]
The smiling gaze was asking me not to be mean. In the end, Sehyeon had no choice but to answer with a sigh.
“Yeah, whatever. “There’s nothing I can’t do, so I’ll do it.”
I thought I wanted to participate together, but Agatha’s deep eyes clearly drew the line. The only thing that went there was Agatha’s Empire. All Sehyun could do was believe. The determination in Agatha’s vivid eyes. The determination to return without fail was evident in her tightly held hands.
Now I had no choice but to believe it.
[Thank you.]
For some reason, the gentle smile made my heart feel tight. As soon as I nodded, the communication ended. Looking at the place where Agatha was, Sehyeon quietly blinked.
I hoped it was rain. She wanted to think that the anxious look Tyra showed was simply her reaction to something different from her own dreams.
“Jaeyoung, let’s go and rest today and see you early tomorrow. I’ll tell you in advance, I’ll get scolded if it leaks somewhere else. “I’m going to contact Zenka, so go straight to the empire.”
“Brother, don’t do that, let’s… .”
“Jaeyoung.”
“… okay. Otherwise it won’t work. “Oh, anyway, that bastard has a long chain.”
Lee Jae-young stood up with a disapproving look at his stern gaze. And he began to pace nervously. However, along the way, Lee Jae-young suddenly stopped walking. The way he turned his head and looked back gave the impression that he had grown a lot.
“Thank you, brother.”
The unsmiling eyes stared at Sehyun for a long time. I didn’t really want to point out what I was thankful for. Sehyun just smiled and nodded.
Only after seeing this, Jaeyoung Lee turned his back and went forward again. Jaeyoung Lee seemed to have already found his way. He said that the only people left were Baek Do-hyeon, who was wandering, and Tira and his group, who were still wandering around without any clues.
If Agatha’s words are true, events from now on will proceed faster than now. Sehyun decided to move with that fact in mind.
What happens tomorrow after seeing Agatha off depends on how Tyra of the White Cloaked Empire turns out. Now that her own dreams have taken a major turn, she, too, will have to make her own choices.
Furthermore, will you cooperate with this side or will you just sit there and stop?
“Kyle, we’re going to the tower, so let’s get ready.”

“yes.”
Whatever it is, Tyra will never fully believe in her dreams in the future.

Rattling-
The sound of Agatha’s hooves echoed for a long time in the warm golden space. Many people followed behind him. Agasa’s vassals, Sehyeon, Jaeyoung Lee, Ruhak, and Zenka.
“Why are you alone? There’s a guy wearing a mask who looks like he’s a shadow or an assassin. “Shouldn’t she just go with him?”
“Haha, Li Jeong is currently busy with work so she can’t join us. Besides, it could be a dangerous place, so I think it would be easier for me to go alone.”
Agatha said, looking at Jaeyoung Lee as if he was cute. She said it was like she was looking at her little puppy. At that gaze, Jaeyoung Lee turned her head with a shocked expression.
“The light coming from the door is weaker than last time.”
When Sehyeon first stepped into the space on the 90th floor, the light coming out of the iron door leading to the world of manifestation was more intense than this. The bright, eye-piercing light was now weakened, like a languid sunlight.
“Perhaps the problem could be the contamination of the goddess that the guides mentioned. As they say, there may not be much time left.”
Concern appeared on Agatha’s face. Even as I walked toward the iron gate leading to the world of embodiment, I felt a faint sense of worry.
The Cavalry Empire was an empire with skills on par with Jaeyoung Lee, if you look at its pure national power. It was that powerful. Although it bothered her a little that the Archduke was not there, if she had received the Archduke’s dream in her place, she would be able to piece together the fragments of the various scenes and overcome the difficult path.
