Episode 633
The Western Continent is large. Of course, in terms of size, the Eastern Continent is larger, but there are races on the Western Continent that aren’t on the Eastern Continent.
Orcs, harpies, vampires.
The Forest of Demons, located in the center of the Western Continent, is a very special place in itself, and its owner, Charlotte, is even more special.
The Milos Empire rules over both the Eastern and Western Continents.
There is only one emperor on both continents. So what about below?
Beyond the nobles, the archduke, duke, marquis, etc., there is only one being who is called the ‘real king’.
That is Charlotte de Royale, the mistress of the Forest of Demons.
No, the people living in the Western Continent are not fools and cannot possibly not know what is happening in the Eastern Continent right now.
There are hundreds of ships traveling between the Eastern and Western Continents. This is just a rough estimate, and if you count the number of ships, small and large, there are well over a thousand.
This means that there are that many people who can provide information, and to begin with, there is no need to go as far as the ship’s informants, as the people in the Taoist temple are spread out across the Eastern Continent.
Right now, every single ‘powerful person’ on the Western Continent is aware of everything that is happening on the Eastern Continent and is keenly aware of its seriousness.
There is only one reason why they are staying still.
Jack Milos.
Because the Emperor of the Milos Empire gave orders not to interfere with what was happening on the Eastern Continent.
And now a woman visited Cheon Gong Seong.
She had a very mature look with her blonde hair flowing, and her eyes were as red as blood.
It was just his usual appearance. His walking style was full of dignity, and even elegance could be seen amidst that dignity.
She opened the door and kept walking.
Charlotte de Royale didn’t even have time to enjoy the scenery of the sky that she hadn’t seen in a long time, so she went straight ahead and ended up encountering a man.
A man watering flowers in the garden.
He is the emperor of the Milos Empire, the one who gave the order not to interfere with anything that happens on the Eastern Continent, and he is Charlotte’s savior. He smiles brightly.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“… … Your Majesty, I have come to ask you something so suddenly… … .”
Jack waved his hand at Charlotte, who was being overly polite. He meant for her to stop.
“We’re not strangers, so let’s be comfortable, let’s be comfortable. We used to be comfortable a lot in the past.”
“… … I was young back then, but not anymore.”
“That’s true. You’re not a kid either. Sel too, Daniel too. Me too.”
Jack stopped talking.
Charlotte thought Jack looked lost in thought. And for a moment, Jack continued.
“It looks like Cell is really mad at me.”
“… … .”
“When did it start? Was it four years ago? Cell said that shortly after Daniel entered the academy.”
“What did you say?”
“No, wait a minute. That’s too harsh. Charlotte, aren’t you pumping your shoulders too much to rule the forest of demons?”

Thanks to Jack’s smile, the atmosphere became much more comfortable. It was certainly not a comfortable conversation, but Charlotte was able to feel Jack’s strength once again through this situation.
It’s to the point where you can change the mood with just one word.
Honestly, there’s no one else who can destroy the world with just a few words other than this man in front of you.
Charlotte decided to do as before.
“What did Cell say?”
“Aren’t you going down the wrong path?”
“… … Cell himself? Or Your Majesty?”
“I personally think it’s the former, but what Cell meant was the latter. He said that I was doing something wrong, something that an emperor should never do, and that whatever happens in the future should be left to the flow of the world, and artificially controlling it is not the emperor’s job, but the devil’s job.”
“… … I don’t really know what you’re talking about.”
“You don’t know. Honestly, I wish you didn’t know. I wish Valentine didn’t know, and I wish Sel didn’t know, but life isn’t easy.”
Jack’s expression was still full of laughter, but Charlotte noticed that behind the smile there was agony and distress.
Charlotte was always like that. When she listened to someone, she could read the person’s mind so well.
why.
Why on earth?
“Why are you having such a hard time?”
“I?”
“yes.”
“Well, it’s not that hard, it’s just that it’s not easy. That’s why I gave the order for people from the Western Continent to not interfere with what’s happening on the Eastern Continent.”
Just as Charlotte read Jack’s mind, Jack read Charlotte’s mind.
There’s no way Jack wouldn’t know why Charlotte came here.
“It’s better not to get involved.”
Jack seemed to know full well what Charlotte would do and say.
“Let’s leave that to Daniel and Cell. Oh, and Thanos is here too.”
“… … .”
“Why? Are you upset?”
Charlotte could tell by the feel of it.
“What is happening right now that I don’t know about?”
“It might not be true, it might be true.”
“… …Can I ask you one more question?”
“What is it?”
“Why can’t I do it, but Thanos can?”
Jack blinked. It must have been an unexpected line.

“… … Uh… … Well, to be honest, I didn’t really want to contact Thanos. He said he was afraid Daniel would get into trouble and would stay in the Eastern Continent for a while, so what could I do? You know, Thanos’s job title is Guardian.”
A smile appears again on Jack’s lips, which had disappeared for a moment.
“Thanos is not a person from the Western Continent. He is a person from the Milos Empire. Whether it’s the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent, Thanos has the right to travel anywhere. I gave Thanos ‘freedom’. That’s it. Do you understand?”

“yes.”
“Yeah, that’s good. Um… … And I’m sorry to say this, but could you stay in the Sky Castle for a moment?”
Charlotte’s expression hardened.
“What does that mean?”
“It’s true. It’s been a while since you came. While you’re here, let’s practice a bit, eat some delicious food, and talk about the recent situation in the Demon Forest.”
Charlotte felt that Jack was trying to hold her back.
It felt strange.
To be honest, Charlotte had planned to go straight to the Eastern Continent after finishing her conversation with Jack.
Cell, who thinks of herself as a sister even though she is not related by blood, is in a situation where she has to deal with monsters and chimeras that have been revived on the Eastern Continent. It is right to help her.
I don’t know why Jack and Cell’s relationship got worse. I didn’t have time to think about that.
Charlotte made her choice.
“I’ll do it next time. Sorry.”
Charlotte kicked her seat. In an instant, she left the sky. Charlotte, who was floating in the sky, accelerated once more. In an instant, she was about to fly over to the Eastern Continent.
Charlotte had another strange experience.
Should we call it a world within a world?
Just now, I kicked the seat and kicked it again. It was definitely the present. It was the present, so why?
I wonder if he’s still in the Sky Garden.
Jack was smiling in front of her, his hand on the tree, while Charlotte’s own feet were nailed to the spot. She hadn’t even moved a step in the first place.
what.
Is this a fantasy?
Is this an illusion?
“Charlotte, just stay. Please.”
“… … What did you do just now?”
“Your thoughts and your body are just out of sync, Charlotte. Do you think you and I are in the same ‘time’?”
“… … What does that mean?”
“I mean, literally. Is one second to you one second to me?”
“… … .”
“I don’t want to make it rough. It’s not anyone else, it’s you. I didn’t actually give birth to you, but I have two children that I gave birth to in my heart. Cell and you. Oh, of course I’m a man so I can’t give birth to you. Do you know the general context?”
“Yes. Thank you for your kind words. I also think of Your Majesty as a father, even though he is not my real father. Not only me, but Sel too.”
“… … The cell is a bit ambiguous, but if I finish talking, I don’t want to make it rough like I said before. I know what you’re going to do. That’s why I’m telling you. Just stay here. Please.”
Charlotte was a strong-willed woman. Not only strong-willed, but also strong-minded and strong-willed. She was also deep-thinking. And sometimes she was reckless. But she had to show off her recklessness in front of the people who needed to show off.
It means nothing in front of Jack.
As we just saw, Charlotte felt isolated from the world without even understanding what she was doing.
There is nothing more to it.
Charlotte gave up.

“Good idea. Thank you. For listening to me.”
“… …Can I ask you one more question?”
“You can ask two more questions. Ask them all. I’ll answer them all.”
“Why did you and Cell fight?”
“I told you earlier.”
Charlotte shook her head.
“That was an abstract reason. I want a concrete reason.”
“That tells you everything.”
This time Charlotte shook her head again.
“I knew that Your Majesty and Cell weren’t on good terms. But few people knew the specific reason.”
“Rare?”
The word rare is used when we cannot be certain that something does not exist at all.
“I don’t know anyone around me, but Your Majesty, there might be someone around you. For example.”
“For example?”
“Like the Prime Minister or the Empress.”
Peeking Jack laughed.
“I don’t know either. But do I really need to know?”
“I’m curious. If I stay here as Your Majesty says, I think it would be less boring if I had something to think about.”
Jack shrugged.
“It’s a shame. Even though it looks like this, there are still a lot of things to do here. There’s a lot to see.”
“Even so, to me it’s just a house floating in the sky, nothing more, nothing less.”
“You’ve become rough.”
“Your Majesty has become more stubborn.”
Hahaha, I burst out laughing.
Then Jack said something Charlotte could never have imagined.
“I was turning back time.”
“……yes?”
“I don’t remember how many times. But I know what would happen if I changed the moment, the point, the event that happened. It’s still in my plan.”
Charlotte swallowed. What the hell was that?
“Why did Cell and I fall out? It’s simple. Cell, who was on the edge of a nerve, noticed what I was doing.”
“… … .”
“Cell said. Why do you want to become a monster like Ragnarok? Why do you want to manipulate time as you please, why do you want to make this flowing world your ‘experimental bed’?”
Charlotte couldn’t say anything. Is this real?
“If you keep doing that, I’ll have no choice but to stop you. You, the one who saved me and was the light in my life, weren’t this kind of monster. There was a time when I thought of you rationally, but not anymore, and that has nothing to do with it. If you try to stop me, you’ll have to kill me.”
Charlotte, who had already felt goosebumps all over her body, felt goosebumps again at Jack’s next words.

“I heard everything. I told you everything. Now, don’t go anywhere. Stay at Cheonggongseong. You can use the room you used before.”
It’s true that Jack’s words were shocking, but the second reason it was creepy was that Jack was talking about all of this so casually.
With a smile.
I said it was really nothing.
Turning back time, whether it be years, decades, or centuries, is not a big deal. I don’t deny that I’ve turned the world into a giant laboratory, nor that I’m trying to shoulder it all by myself.
Suddenly, a word occurred to Charlotte.
Monster.
Originally, there was a word in the vampire language called Monstrum. This word originally referred to deformed children and severely disabled people, but as time went by, it became Monster, a word that refers to monsters or evil spirits in the human world.
That’s right.
Jack is a monster.
He became a monster in the true sense of the word.
The monster said.
“Would you like to have a meal? Would you like to drink my blood for the first time in a while?”
* * *
Daniel, who killed Yeongjeong, turns his head. Cell, who happened to kill Beckerman, also turns his head.
Daniel walks slowly.
He approached the cell and spoke.
“I won’t make it long. I plan to make the Eastern Continent my own land. Will you help me?”
“Why do you think I would help you?”
I ended up laughing.
“That’s because I helped you first.”
“… … .”
“Master, I fully understand your feelings towards your father.”
“you?”
“Yes. After hearing that from the teacher, I went to see my father.”
Cell waited quietly for Daniel to speak.
“To my eyes, my father looked very suspicious.”
“……okay?”
“Yes. I’m not sure if it’s like turning back time, as the Master said. But if it is, then.”
“What if?”
“This moment may be one that even Father has not thought of.”
“… … .”
“Do you know why I came here?”
“Why did you come?”
“I had a feeling that I shouldn’t go to Mannyeonseolsan.”
Advertisements
“… … .”
“Master, you could have fought those two alone. You could have won. There is a chance of losing, but the odds are extremely low. But you know, Master. Nothing in the world can be predicted.”
Cell had a good idea of what Daniel was trying to say. Daniel said.
“Would you like to stay by my side with me?”
“… … .”
“I want a teacher.”
Cell closes his eyes for a moment. Daniel’s firm words reach Cell’s ears.
“If my father has become a monster, I will stop him. Will you help me?”
Cell opened his eyes and said.
“What if you don’t help me?”
“I will make it happen by force.”
“you?”
“Yes. I do.”
“It’s impossible. You, who have not yet ascended to the level of the Magical Spirit, do not know the true ‘truth.’ I have thought carefully about what kind of obstacle your choice will become on the path I will walk in the future… … .”
“Do you know what I ultimately want?”
“… … You’ve grown a lot, even though you’re still listening to the teacher.”
“I was originally big. Please answer my question first.”
The cell burst into laughter.
okay.
“So, what do you want?”
“This is the teacher.”
“……what?”
“You have taught me since I was little, so you must know what I am thinking, so I will not speak at length this time either.”
Daniel took a step closer to Cell.
The distance between the two people is only 20 cm.
It was literally so close that if you fell, your nose would touch it.
“I can do anything for Master. Father may turn back time, but it doesn’t matter. At this moment, my heart is with Master. I apologize to Father, but I intend to achieve it.”
“Achieve? What?”
Daniel smiles. What he’s achieved can be expressed in just one word.
“All of it.”
“… … .”
“I will clear out the Eastern Continent. And I will clear out the Chimera. Stay by my side. Don’t fight alone.”
Cell found himself laughing without realizing it.
And Daniel could not have predicted what Cell would say next.
“You always say that.”

Daniel was confused. It wasn’t just because of what Cell had said earlier.
Cell.
No, because the teacher was shedding tears.
“You don’t change. You really don’t change.”
It doesn’t change?
What on earth are you talking about?
Cell asked with a forced smile.
“How many times do you think this is?”
It’s the same question as the one in the cell before. But the difference is the nuance.
Daniel, those words sounded so sad right now.
