Episode 368 < Disgusting. (2) >

“Just calm down for now. Confucius. “There’s something alive in your eyes.”
Raviel tapped the chair next to her.
The fan used to hit the armrests of the chair was also a high-quality item that I gave as a gift.
I bit my lip.
It wasn’t just an expensive gift. It was a fan made with great effort by Buwolseon Namgung-un, the Murim lord who had been my teacher’s rival and was now deposed by Cheon Mu-mun’s Taesang Protection Act.
Raviel must have guessed in advance that I would attack. She was wise. She said ‘calm down’. She had devised a way to calm my emotions that was much more effective than a single word.
As expected, Raviel’s intention was correct. Ice poured into his burning heart when he saw the object that was reaching the end of his Master’s bond.
At best, they just poured ice cubes into the lava.
“… … “If I don’t embrace life now, when should I embrace it?”
“No matter when it happened, even if it was this moment, it is clear that the place where you should live is not right in front of my eyes. “It’s not a matter of time, but a matter of place.”
“I know. But I don’t want my anger to dull. “The more I talk to Raviel, the more my reason will take control of my emotions.”
I said softly.
No, from the moment I realized Raviel’s death, my voice only flowed quietly. It wasn’t to keep my cool. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
This is because I did not want the heat of anger that colored my heart to leak out through a mere voice. Even just one point.
“I want to bleed with pure anger and emotion. “Please tell me first who dared touch Raviel.”
“To my ears, it just sounds like you want to go crazy.”
“I heard it right away.”
“…….”
Raviel lifted the corner of her lips.
She seemed satisfied, as if she had discovered a new toy, and for just a moment, she shrugged her shoulders at the wave of my emotions.
I realized something when I saw the curve of the lips engraved on the white face.
finished.
Raviel was more interested in my enraged reaction to that death than in her own death.
“Do you want to kill the person who killed me?”
“… … yes.”
I could feel the smell of blood in my mouth. The teeth biting my lip dug into my red flesh.
“How do you want to kill me?”
“I want to rip you apart, kill you.”
I knew which destination this conversation would reach and which ocean it would flow into. Even though I knew it, I answered using my teeth as a wheel and my tongue as a stream.
Because I could not remain silent in response to the question of the person I loved. never.
“You want to slice your lips along the lines of your teeth. “I have to watch as his voice becomes distorted through the gaps between his gaping teeth and his cut lips.”
“What about the eyes?”
“I will dig it up and connect the blood vessels and nerves it lost with my aura. And then I’ll put it back into the eye socket. “Every time I blink, it causes me so much pain that I wish I were blind.”
“…….”
Raviel’s smile became even deeper.
Now I could see it with my own eyes. Below her left ear, her slender neckline twitched briefly. Raviel was experiencing the sight of me completely losing my sense of reason, experiencing the extremely rare madness of her husband.
“.Raviel.”
“Right. My thoughtfulness wasn’t deep. close the door.”
Raviel pointed to the bedroom door that was wide open behind me.
“I can’t let anyone else appreciate your voice and face like this. “It is a luxury that should be granted entirely to me.”
“Close it. Confucius.”
The door was closed.
The air in the bedroom became even more toxic.
The poison was scented with blue lilies.
“What about your hands? What about your wrist? The back of your hand. As for the fingers. “What are you planning to do with your fingernails?”
The source of the poison was the red eyes.
“I want to hear it.”
I opened my mouth.
“Listen.” My love.”
I heard it.
All hell imaginable, a white-hot purgatory that even hell would laugh at as lukewarm, flowed from my mouth. With the warmth of the heart and the poison of blood.
Raviel indulged in my warmth and venom to her heart’s content. It would be nice to say that I gorged myself.
The more my anger growled that I wanted red blood, the more Raviel’s red eyes became shiny. It became shiny. Her venom was as sweet to her as her vitality.
“So, are you going to kill me like that?”
Raviel asked lazily like a well-fed lion. He seemed to have finished all his predation.
“yes.”
“Among the shadows you have collected, it is rare to find someone who is not a murderer. Some will be murderers, and some will even be massacres.”
“iced coffee… … .”
“Whoever killed me will have to pay the price. Confucius. I have no intention of stopping you from coming forward and saying that my love will make that reward come true. However, I don’t know if the price will be weighed fairly.”
I touched my forehead.
Raviel was ordering me to be fair. It was I who accepted Esther and even forgave Yu Su-ha. Raviel said that the standards set when accepting them should be applied the same way this time as well.
“Raviel… … , but.”
“Do you think I wouldn’t have felt the same anger when you died?”
My heart slowed down.
“How many times do you think you have died since sharing the ring with me?”
“How many times do you think I’ve held back?”

“Confucius.”
Raviel smiled.
“You will have to be as patient as I have been.”
I couldn’t say anything.
Raviel knew my anger. A way to calm your anger. A single word that will never let you explode with anger.
Even if I had something more to say, it probably wouldn’t have come out of my mouth.
Raviel pulled my wrist and covered my lips. It was hot. So much so that his tongue burned. The heat that poured out of her heart, it was clear that she had taken everything from her.
The closed door did not open.
4.
In the end, when we calmed down and started talking calmly, it was around the time when the sun set, the sunset spread, and the silver moon peeked through the window.
“He is the crown prince.”
Raviel spoke in a voice that had calmed down. The low tone of the voice always resonates as if it were submerged in an ice sea. It was my favorite Raviel’s voice.
“Damn it.”
However, what Raviel revealed included a character I could never like.
“That ramen bastard. “It’s not enough to have blonde hair, so now even my brain has turned into beef noodles and is bloated?”
“hmm. I always look forward to seeing what you compare the crown prince to. I’m satisfied this time too… .”
The anger that had barely subsided over four hours was rekindled.
However, where the fire had already swept away, only a pile of ashes remained. As Raviel had intended, the same level of anger as before did not occur.
Water seeped in from places where the embers could not burn. It was the opposite s*x. It was cold judgment. Reason, which clung to my skull like old moisture, made me let go of judgments that were almost habitual.
“… … but. “If it weren’t for the imperial family, they wouldn’t even dare to kill the Duke of Ivansia.”
Once the lube was running, the rest was simple.
My thoughts spun quickly.
“But the current emperor is a wise monarch. I know that the power of the empire was tilted towards the Ivansia family. “This is not the manipulation of the entire imperial family, but the arbitrariness of one crown prince.”
“Hmm.”
Raviel rested her chin.
She was happy and was giving me a wink telling me to keep talking.
“But if Raviel dies, everyone will immediately suspect the imperial family. The Emperor may claim he is innocent, but it will be difficult to prevent people from being suspicious. “It was at that moment that the crown prince rebelled against the emperor.”
Quickly.
Even while biting my molars, I expressed my reasoning.
“[The emperor was blinded by power and assassinated a loyalist of the empire, the Duke of Ivansia. As the crown prince, I cannot bear to watch the empire collapse. Therefore, I will rise up with tears of blood in my eyes. Even though I will be unfilial to my father, I will gladly raise my sword if I can save the empire by bearing the shame alone.]”
Raviel did not refute my words.
That sight gave me confidence. Crazy bastard. A ramen-haired bastard who is blinded by power. They saved him because he was the heir to the empire, but out of consideration for the reputation of the emperor and the imperial family, they turned a blind eye. dare.
“The engagement is now broken off, but the crown prince was once Raviel’s fiancé. [Even though he met an unfortunate ending, he cannot stand by and watch the death of a nobleman with whom he was previously engaged.] I guess he plans to gain the support of the dukedom by crying out for a worthy cause.”
“It’s really unfortunate… … .”
Raviel let out a sweet sigh.
“People always marvel at your inaction. No one knows that there is a well-discarded knife hidden in your head. “What would the people of Hagisa know?”
“…….”
I cleared my throat.
“… … If the crown prince only gains the support of the dukedom, he is actually putting the aristocracy on his back. He must have calculated out of his own mind that there was a high possibility that the rebellion would succeed. yes. “For something else.”
I looked at Raviel.
“For this plan to succeed, we need to instill in people the confidence that [the culprit who assassinated Duke Ivansia is the emperor]. Raviel. Tomorrow, where will you close your eyes?”
“The people of the empire should rejoice because the moon of Ivansia is so wise.”
Raviel completely confirmed my reasoning.
“I was waiting at the imperial palace to see His Majesty.”
also.
“… … It wasn’t assassination, it was poisoning. He is the idiot who abandoned Raviel and fell in love with the Golden Silk. “He must have seduced a servant of the imperial palace with his smooth face.”
“right. Even if you draw 120 points on an answer sheet out of 100, no one will reprimand you.”
“At least the crown prince himself was probably not in the palace at the time. That way she will avoid suspicion. “Did she go hunting somewhere?”
“That’s 150 points.”
“under. They must have dragged away a few members of the Imperial Guard under the pretext of hunting. “As soon as they hear that Raviel has died, they can storm the imperial palace with their soldiers!”
“Is it 200 points? … . It’s difficult, Confucius. Even if you are a dupe, if you give more than twice the perfect score, you will inevitably be questioned as to whether you are fair as an evaluator. Are you planning to subject me to biased judgment?”
“great. “I will kill the crown prince for a moment and all the other creatures who participated in the prince’s hunt.”
“You subtracted 100 points again and brought it back to 100 points, so your consideration is truly profound.”
“…….”
I looked at Raviel.
Raviel also looked at me.
“Now that I think about it, five hours doesn’t seem like enough time to quell my anger.”
“Hoo.”
“The more I think about it, the more I wonder how long it has been since I met Raviel and spent time alone together like this, but I’m so angry that I can’t fully enjoy this time because of the crown prince. pup!”
“So?”
“Just play with me all day.”
“Are you planning to hand over one day to the crown prince’s group?”
“no. “After playing for a day, I’ll turn around for the day.”
“What a brilliant idea. “I cannot find any reason to reject your offer.”
We played all day.
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
And we played one more day.
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
As I played, it became difficult to find a reason not to play one more day.
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
world? assassination? Power struggle and political fight? Everything goes out.
For now, I’m going to hang out with the person I love.
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
It took about a week for us to come to our senses. Beyond the window, the silver moon was still twinkling in the same position. Raviel and I rested our chins side by side, pondered side by side, and muttered side by side.
“Was it a little harsh?”
“I think it was a little harsh… .”
“As expected, it was a bad week… … .”
“It might have been a rough week… … .”
“Then I guess I’ll just have to play for one more day.”
“yes. “Let’s play for one more day and refrain from doing so.”
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
So two weeks passed.
I’ll keep quiet about what kind of shit we got into during the past week. But imagine what would happen if you could turn back time and no matter what you did during that time, people wouldn’t remember it. It was only about 3 times what I imagined.
We were perfectly satisfied.
“What do you plan to do now, Confucius?”
I shrugged my shoulders at the sound of Raviel’s perfectly satisfied voice.
“I will go see the crown prince first.”
“Don’t kill me. If you want to kill it, you have to do it quietly, not now, but later, when no one cares.”
“yes. “I’ll be back.”
okay. It doesn’t kill.
It just shows pain worse than death.
etc,
