EP.151
No matter how strong your ability was, it was meaningless in front of this power.
Was it loosely based on the fact that he was a person from 1,000 years ago?
Is it because he has such overwhelming power that he views everything in the world as easy?
Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s already too late.
“sister?”
Amelia’s pupils are empty. I waved my hand, but there was no response.
I slowly turned my head and looked at Damon. I faced Damon’s expressionless face.
“Put it back.”
The mana in the air responded to Ruid’s intense emotions. I felt anxious as if I would burst if I touched it even slightly.
At least Damon would know what would happen if that happened. The amount of magical power sleeping within that small blonde boy is inexhaustible. If one loses control of magical power in this situation, no one can survive.
Still, Damon remained calm.
“Have you not figured out the situation yet?”
“….”
“With just one word from me, you cannot refuse my command.”
“If that were possible, I would have done it already.”
Luid’s eyes burned blue.
“is not it?”
“I think you’re misunderstanding something-”
Damon stood right in front of Luid and lowered his eyes.
“There is no being under this sky who can reject the royal family of the empire. “The reason I’ve been shrinking until now is that I just didn’t feel the need to.”
Damon snapped a finger at Amelia.
Amelia bowed her head slightly and walked to stand next to Damon.
“…Tell me what you want.”
“My favorite hunting dog bit its owner.”
Damon stroked Amelia’s cheek.
Ruid felt increasingly angry.
It was a anger so great that it felt like my heart was burning for the first time in this world.
“Originally, culling would have been appropriate, but it is difficult. It’s truly my favorite hunting dog. “Even this moment when I bite my owner.”
Damon raised one corner of his mouth arrogantly.
“Take over the entire army right away. “At best, the entire army is just you and your maid.”
When Luid heard those words, his head went cold.
‘Something is strange.’
If you think about it rationally, yes.
If Damon really had the ability to control everyone, he could use the power directly on himself without having to use Amelia.
But Damon went out of his way to use Amelia.
“…What if you don’t like it?”
Ruid asked to look at Damon.
“I don’t want to see a tearful sibling fight for myself.”
It was the moment when my suspicions were confirmed.
What Damon should have said here was, ‘I will use my power on you too.’
‘Which one is the lie?’
There was something hidden in a hazy fog.
There are two possibilities.
She wasn’t sure whether the power would work on her or not –
wasn’t Amelia being manipulated from the beginning?
Ruid looked at Amelia.
He was staring into space with an emotionless face.
Now that I think about it, that can’t be evidence of power. Amelia was at a level where she could act if she wanted to.
‘What if I put them both to sleep and take Amelia away?’
It was something I could do with just a blink of an eye. It is not too late to find out the details later.
Ruid had many options.
but-
Ruid didn’t want to take risks with Amelia.
“Rosalie.”
Rosalie answered with an expressionless face.
“yes.”
“Get ready to go back.”
A strange look passed through Rosalie’s eyes. A feeling close to disappointment. It was only a moment, but Ruid could tell that he was currently in a very sensitive state.
“Everything is as you wish.”
“Did you hear? He can’t lie. “Because I’m a vampire.”
Ruid took a deep breath.
“Hurry and put Amelia back to her original state.”
“I can’t believe it. “Would you believe it?”
Ruid bit his lip.
“It’s a different story.”
“Hmph, a guy who can erase an empire with just one word is talking too much. “What if you change your mind as soon as I put it back?”
“…I don’t do that. “I don’t lie.”

“It’s the easiest lie in the world to understand.”
Damon grinned. And he moved Amelia behind him.
“The prisoners will be treated with respect, so don’t worry.”
“…If anything is wrong with Amelia, I will kill her. “Not just you, but the empire you seek to protect.”
“It’s more brutal than anything I’ve ever heard.”
“I assure you, if I make up my mind, you won’t be able to protect anything.”
Damon shrugged.
“Don’t be like that. Would I want to be in a relationship with a genius like you? Just know that there is nothing you can do about it now.”
Damon turned around, put his hand in one pocket and waved coolly with the other.
“Once we determine that the evacuation is complete, we will send them back. “This is before you use your powers as you wish.”
Probably no one feels good because they move the way the other person wants.
It was the same for Ruid.
I quietly closed my eyes to calm the fire-like emotions swirling in my chest.
‘You just have to endure it. To stop war. It’s a request that Damon can naturally make. Rather, we should be thankful that no harm occurred.’
I decided to think positively.
Amelia was family.
It’s just a possession, but-
It was more important to Ruid than anyone else.
“I have been seeing Mr. Ruid for quite some time.”
When Damon’s presence faded, Rosalie opened her mouth.
“From newborn to now.”
Ruid slowly opened his eyes. When he looked up, he encountered Rosalie’s red eyes looking down at him coldly.
“Your capabilities are better than any other Windsor. “Not only magical talent, but also insight into the situation.”
“I’m tired. “Let’s go back.”
Ruid, who didn’t want to hear nagging, turned his back.
But Rosalie did not follow. I just stand there quietly and talk.
“Master always looked at the world with more intuitive eyes than anyone else. “There are few people like that.”
“It’s intuitive to sleep when you’re sleepy. But I’m sleepy now, so I’m going to go to sleep.”
Ruid, who had been making light jokes and glancing at Rosalie, froze in that state.
When humans breathe, their shoulders move slightly. No, this applies to any animal other than humans.
It was the same with Rosalie. Her shoulders would always move ever so slightly when she spoke. But now it wasn’t moving at all.
It was the first time Ruid realized this.
Vampires don’t breathe.
“It’s the same this time too. Surely Mr. Ruid knows. Something is strange. “If the power of the first emperor had been so convenient in the first place, there would have been no reason for such a greedy person to remain silent until now.”
“What do you want to say?”
Ruid really didn’t know that he would say this line twice today.
“Master, you are always passive. They have an indecisive personality and are afraid of even small failures, so they don’t try to do anything. Therefore, Ruid cannot become the head of the family. “It is not because he is not talented with the sword, but because of his personality, no matter how good he is, he cannot become the head of the family.”
“…Are you arguing now? “There’s no need to tell me what everyone in the world knows.”
Suddenly, Ruid remembered that his personality was quite similar to the original ‘lazy Ruid’.
‘My personality has changed these days’, something that anyone who is possessed is sure to experience. Because I’ve never heard anything like that.
“But it didn’t matter. “Just because your personality has a few flaws doesn’t mean your ability as a weapon deteriorates.”
“You’re seriously crossing the line.”
Ruid ruffled his hair.
I was already in a bad mood, but I was annoyed because Rosalie was annoying me.
“Hey, what did you just say?”
“It didn’t matter until now. If only Irene had followed through on her words. It was pathetic to be swayed by a person much lower than himself, but he would have put up with it. “Just like it’s always been.”
“what?”
I frowned, feeling something was out of the ordinary.
It was then.
White smoke of unknown origin filled the world.
“Windsor has quite a long history. “The resentment that the people have toward Windsor runs as deep as that period of time.”
‘Dangerous.’
Luid’s pupils shook.
A powerful magical power that I have never felt before.
To be precise, I felt the presence of a ‘powerful being’.
It’s almost as if this is what it would feel like if a dragon that went extinct a thousand years ago reappears.
“It is pointless to deal with Windsor head-on. That’s because it’s overwhelming no matter what comes. “Victoria Windsor alone has the power to annihilate all demons and monsters in the North.”
“What are you doing!”
Even in this hazy fog, Rosalie’s appearance was clear.
The problem was not to lose my composure at all, as if I knew this was happening.
“That’s why the northern monsters have been thinking about it for a very long time. A way to keep Windsor in check. “What is that?”
“Reveal—”
Ruid ignored Rosalie and started using magic. The first thing to do is to brighten your vision. The fog cleared quickly.
‘Damn, this is slow. If you somehow just look at Amelia…’
I had a bad feeling. I have a feeling that something will definitely happen to Amelia.
“Because the thoughts of monsters are simple. The method I came up with was also simple. But it was powerful.”
The speed at which the fog was rising was faster than the speed at which it was dissipating.
However, Ruid’s magic gradually increased its speed, reaching a point where the fog cleared faster.
‘Just a little bit further-’
“It was to find and persuade the only opponent who could stand against Windsor. That target was a dragon named Oppenheimer-”
The fog cleared.
Then, I finally saw things that had been hidden by the fog.
“Luid Christopher Windsor’s biological father was also the last remaining dragon in the world.”
In the cleared fog, Ruid saw a scene as clear as if he was seeing it right in front of him.
The hand of a man in a black suit was piercing Amelia’s stomach.
Amelia’s silver plate mail was soaked with bright red blood to the point that she could no longer do anything about it.
thud-
Ruid’s heart fell deep underground.
The man withdrew his hand from Amelia’s abdomen, and blood poured out.
Boom boom-
My heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to explode.
It seemed like it was in slow motion as Amelia fell sideways with her eyes open.
Thump thump thump.
That’s the last scene that Ruid remembers.
Ruid lost his temper.
