The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 612
Epilogue, a beginning, not an end (3)
a few days later.
the funeral was held.
It was an event to commemorate the people who lost their lives in this war and the death of Hans..
People flocked to Dmitry from early in the morning, and they found Roman Dmitry standing by even though the funeral had not yet begun..
Everyone knew what it meant. Hans was a very special person to Roman Dmitry, so the main characters spoke to him cautiously..
king of cairo.
Daniel Cairo stands next to Roman Dmitry.
“As the King of Cairo, I say that every human life is equally precious, but that is a blatant lie. As you know, I also had a special presence. Count Nicholas. If it weren't for the person who supported the young king who was nothing, I wouldn't be where I am today..”
I turned my head.
Now, the eyes of a strong man who did not fit the description of a young king turned towards Roman Dmitry..
“Baron Hans would have been happy. Didn't he at least have the last one together?.”
“thanks.”
“no.”
I felt grateful..
Count Nicholas had died horribly in the war with Kronos, so giving him advice like this would not have been easy. Nevertheless, he readily gathered courage for Roman Dmitry..
30Years have passed and now he, who is called everything in Cairo, has become a giant who can handle such emotions..
Daniel Cairo steps down.
This time Flora Lawrence approached..
“Are you okay?”
“……Okay.”
“I think life is truly unpredictable. When I first met His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, I was just an immature child who knew nothing, but now, as a middle-aged man in my 50s, I got to meet His Majesty, who looked exactly the same as I did back then. To me and to Your Majesty the Emperor. Baron Hans was a really nice guy. There are not many people in this world who can blindly give emotions..”
Lawrence and Dmitry.
Since they were married, Flora Lawrence had frequent encounters with Dmitry..
Actually, there were times when it was a little uncomfortable..
When she, who had an arranged marriage with Roman Dmitry, married her second son, Rodwell Dmitry, some people started talking bad about her behind her back..
Each time, Hans took care of Flora Lawrence as if he were proud of her. He knows how special he is and that he deserves to be treated here..
Baron Hans guaranteed..
If Hans was a precious person to Roman Dmitry, he remained a very good person to Flora Lawrence..
“Congratulations on getting back to your original position..”
were the last words.
Flora Lawrence also stepped down..
People started talking to me one after another like that..
Dmitry's main figures and people from all over the world deeply sympathized with Roman Dmitry's feelings and tried to help him even if only by saying a word..
They also heard the story of Roman Dmitry. The story of Roman Dmitri, who stayed by Hans' side as soon as he returned to Dmitry and watched Baron Hans' final journey until the end..
like that.
the funeral was held.
Roman Dmitry tried to remain calm..
However, the sight of the bereaved family members, who had been enduring their grief in tears, eventually breaks down and burst into tears, and the voices crying out for their families were heartbreaking..
I couldn't be calm anymore.
* * *
I still remember it clearly.
When Roman Dmitry first opened his eyes, he met Hans' worried gaze..
“Are you okay??”
“young master? young master!”
“Hurry and get the medicine! Master is sick!”
There was an uproar..
In the end, it all came to an end when Roman Dmitry came to his senses, but from then on, Hans was remembered as a special person to Roman Dmitry..
So I broke down the wall with him from the beginning. She couldn't get his worried eyes out of her head, so she let him into her enclosure without any special reason..
Baek Jung-hyuk and Roman Dmitry.
In fact, their beginnings were similar..
Baek Jung-hyuk, who was abandoned by his father, and Roman Dmitri, who was ignored by his father due to Dmitry's reputation as an idiot..
In a situation where he could have lived a similar life, Hans stayed by Roman Dmitry's side and proved that he was different from his previous life..
As a human being, I received human emotions..
A budding emotion has no capacity to accept other emotions, but Hans' blind emotion sowed a seed in Roman Dmitry's heart..
Nourished myself and was able to accept others..
Thanks to Hans.
Roman Dmitry was able to live as a human being.
As the memories of him flashed through his mind, Roman Dmitry felt his eyes turn red..
As the emperor of an empire.
As a leader for all people.
I had to hold back my tears.
If it is according to the teachings of the Heavenly Demon Church, if it is according to the teachings of the previous religious leader and father,.
He always said cruelly that human tears reveal one's weakness, and that absolute rule is impossible at that moment..
In fact, I have never once seen my father cry..
Even as his sons were dying, the father simply reacted with mockery at his son's weakness..
Baek Jung-hyuk hated his father like that..
And without realizing it, he took after his father and controlled his own emotions..
“……hans.”
Was that why?.
I didn't want to hold back my tears any longer..
Just like the feelings of other bereaved families who shed tears for the person they really cherish..
I became honest with myself..
I lowered my head.
I cried for a long time.
The day I sent Hans away, I revealed the tears I had secretly cried in front of everyone..
No one thought it was strange.
Roman Dmitry.
Emperor or not.
anyone.
When losing someone precious, everyone is just the same..
* * *
catastrophe.
dimensional rift.
As the problems that plagued humanity were resolved, the worlds of Dmitry and the Korean Empire quickly regained stability..
last week.
There was a special change.
Once Roman Dmitry returned to the throne of the Dmitry Empire, he entrusted the Korean Empire to Kim Jun-hyuk..
“Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk was a person who did his best to ensure the safety of the people even when he was persecuted by the central government. I have no doubt whatsoever that he would be worthy of being the next emperor of the Korean Empire. There is something I promised you when founding the Korean Empire. I will definitely let you live a life worthy of a human being. Even though I am stepping down from the position of emperor, as emperor of the Dmitry Empire, I will not ignore the reality of the Korean Empire..”
everyone was excited.
Junhyuk Kim.
He was a man of sufficient qualifications..
Of course, everyone reacted with disappointment at the fact that Roman Dmitry was stepping down, but because they knew his relationship with Dmitry, they could not force him to hold on..
No one thought it was irresponsible. Lastly, I thought that his promise not to ignore the Korean Empire proved his sense of responsibility, regardless of his position..
That wasn't all.
Roman Dmitry raised another issue.
“Listen, Dmitry's people. During the 30 years I was away, my brother and deputy, Rodwell Dmitry, showed great leadership. Without him, Dmitry would never have moved in the right direction. I realized one thing through this experience. If the day comes when I have to resign from this position. Dmitry's successor will not be my child, but someone like Rodwell Dmitry, who has shown great service to this country. A person who has been proven through thorough verification will be granted the qualifications to lead the Dmitry Empire..”
It was unconventional.
Blocked the succession of power.
Even though he would later marry and have children, Roman Dmitry did not want the problems caused by hereditary succession..
and.
“In the meantime, we have experienced many trials. Especially the decisive battle with the Absolute. By winning that battle, the Korean Empire and Dmitry proved that they had become one. In the future, we plan to actively interact between the two worlds and two dimensions to create a new world. God has given us another trial, but as always, we will endure the trial and create a new future..”
new future.
It was the moment a new world began.
like that.
time passed.
* * *
It was a sunny afternoon.
Although the weather was perfect for a picnic right now, a lot of people crowded into Dmitry's building..
The reason is.
It was because of Kim Pan-seok’s trial..
After all the confusing reality was sorted out, a truth that would shock people was revealed to the world..
“A wizard representing the Korean Empire. The wizard in white was actually Alexandre.!”
It was shocking.
In Dmitry's world, Alexander was remembered as a symbol of evil..
His name is even mentioned in textbooks, and countless people have lost their families due to this devil-like being..
But somehow.
The reincarnation of Alexander!
the problem was serious.
At first, people said that Kim Pan-seok should be judged immediately, but some people questioned whether it was right to pass on the sins of a past life to a 'reincarnated' being..
It was a really complicated problem. While the arguments were fierce, the trial schedule for judging the crime was finally decided..
Inside the courtroom.
As the jury watched, the judge spoke..
“Prisoner Kim Pan-seok. In his past life, in the name of Alexander, he committed unspeakable evil deeds. We all remember that name, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with being reincarnated as Kim Pan-seok. Now that the judgment is imminent, the criminal must make his final plea in front of everyone..”
eyes were focused.
last.
It was my last chance to speak..
Since there were no lawyers in Dmitry's system, Kim Pan-seok stood up and looked at the judge..
My gaze stung..
Judges looking down at themselves, jurors looking at them with hostile eyes,.
Not everyone liked him..
However, until now, when he revealed his identity and attended this event, he did not try to deny his past as Alexander..
Kim Pan-seok said.
“I admit all my sins. Back then, when I was called Alexander, I committed evil acts that should not have been committed as a human being. Actually, I don't know what to say here. Having been reincarnated as Kim Pan-seok and given the opportunity to repent, I tried to clear away the karma of my past life as much as possible, even though I knew that belated reflection was meaningless. I have done so many good deeds that I am called the White Wizard, but when I look back on the past, I cannot deny that I am trash. I won't defend myself. If I have to be punished in this life for the evil deeds of my past life, I will gladly accept that reality..”
I lowered my head..
admitting guilt.
That was the best Kim Pan-seok could choose, sincerely reflecting on Alexander's sins..
* * *
new life.
new opportunity.
Kim Pan-seok wanted to live.
Since I was given the opportunity to serve the Heavenly Demon, I really wanted to survive and live a new life..
but.
‘It is an undeniable fact that I have committed evil deeds. At that time, I was consumed by black magic and gave up being human, but that excuse would be meaningless to those who lost their families. In order to live as a person of His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry from now on, I must clear my karma. If not…….’
I gritted my teeth.
Even at a dead end, Kim Pan-seok did not ignore reality..
‘It would be better to die.’
left the choice.
From now on, it was not my will..
Whether people saved him or not, Kim Pan-seok was willing to humbly accept the outcome..
If you think about it.
It was a happy enough life..
Didn't I, who was nothing but an idiot, really live as a person of the devil at one time?.
The judge received the jury's opinions.
After discussing an important topic for a while, he focused everyone's attention and finally announced his decision..
“In this trial, jurors attended and actively reflected the public's opinions on the guilty verdict. Alexander is an undeniable villain. Although the crime he committed cannot be forgiven, the court does not believe that there is a relationship of responsibility between Alexander's evil deeds and Kim Pan-seok's existence..”
It's not just because you died once..
There was a reason why people changed their minds.
“The sinner actually showed repentance after being given the opportunity to be reincarnated. He did good deeds to the extent that he was called the White Magician, and above all, immediately after meeting His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, he immediately revealed his identity and helped him in many areas. If the sinner simply wanted to survive. He could have not revealed his identity, or he could have been uncooperative in connecting the dimensional passages. However, the sinner made a remarkable contribution in many areas, and Dmitry's people highly evaluated the sinner's sincerity in that regard. blast furnace…….”
Tensions rose..
Even if they say they are forgiven.
If the sentence is life imprisonment, Kim Pan-seok would have to live a meaningless life..
Finally.
The judge concluded the trial.
“Instead of acquitting the criminal Kim Pan-seok, he is ordered to perform indefinite community service to pay for his past life's sins..”
In those words.
In the word innocent.
‘Cheonmai. I survived! I, the second-in-command of the Church of the Heavenly Demon, had to survive in the right way.!
Kim Pan-seok secretly clenched his fists..
three lives.
The tough relationship with Cheonma is not over yet..
