Genius Warlock-Episode 702
702. role (2)
“role?”
Oliver followed suit..
Sleeping Beauty knelt down and nodded, and Oliver looked down at her in silence for a long time..
As if thinking over those words.
The longer she thought, the deeper and heavier silence quietly enveloped Sleeping Beauty..
As if the moment I make a mistake, I will swallow her up and destroy her..
A calm yet eerie silence watched Sleeping Beauty, who remained motionless and waited for Oliver's answer..
It seemed like a thousand years would pass like this, but fortunately Oliver opened his mouth before that..
“You're still saying things I don't understand..”
“sorry. that's my role.”
Sleeping Beauty apologized sincerely.
Oliver also saw the sincerity, but didn't think much of it. It was just annoying..
“great. Let's say it's a role. Prophesying the apocalypse and saying things that don't make sense. Let's say that's the role of a princess. But suddenly I'm curious.”
“······.”
“Who on earth told you what that role was? Who are you to be so faithful to your role??”
A strangely sharp question.
Surprisingly, it was an ordinary voice without any magic or emotion, but Sleeping Beauty felt like a cool razor touched her skin..
It's not just a feeling, it's real. However, the girl who had spent hundreds of years alone simply answered the questions calmly..
“There is no one who told me. I just realized it myself.”
“Now with me again-”
“-Isn’t it true that someone told you that rain grows plants, plants grow herbivores, and herbivores grow carnivores? They're just born that way..”
“······When did the princess think she had that role??”
“From the time I realized I had a precognitive dream..”
Sleeping Beauty answered at once. It was proof that this was an idea she had had in her mind for a very long time..
“Because it's a special power. A power that only I have, to know the future just by sleeping. Therefore, I have long thought that God or a being comparable to Him would have given me some role. very great and glorious.”
While speaking, the princess's expression changed briefly but quickly. Emotions from a nostalgic longing for the past, followed by regret and pain..
It was as if it summarized her life itself. Then she suddenly seemed to realize something and she had a sad yet resigned expression..
“It was foolish. Because I was so focused on glory, I couldn't think about the weight of that glory..”
“When did you realize that? Shall we guess? It's about time the Pied Piper appears.?”
Oliver spoke penetratingly, and Sleeping Beauty nodded, confirming that Oliver was right..
“Yes, it wasn't until malicious rumors started spreading about him that I realized who he was and what my role would be..”
“You're talking like it's someone else's business. princess. Your father also helped out..”
Oliver, who saw the past of the Pied Piper, answered.
The princess's father was also among the countless evil intentions that killed the Pied Piper and his son..
A cunning king who tried to make politics easier by spreading malicious rumors about strangers..
The princess did not deny this either..
“Yes, that's right. We too have sinned.”
“So you didn't do anything??”
Oliver asked. Is that why he knew about the birth of the Pied Piper and the disaster that would befall him, but stayed silent and did nothing?.
Even though Sleeping Beauty knew about the birth of the Pied Piper, she did not tell anyone, did not run away, and did not make any predictions to the anxious people..
As a result, they were sacrificed and doomed to neither life nor death for hundreds of years..
A rather passive and foolish response to looking into the future..
The princess who was involved responded..
“No, I didn't stay quiet out of guilt or responsibility or anything like that..”
Sincerity.
“I stayed quiet because I knew it would be of no use. Even if it means running away, telling people about future disasters, or comforting people. In the end, I knew it was meant to be like this and I didn't do anything..”
“Have you accepted the role??”
Oliver asked curiously..
Sleeping Beauty shook her head..
“It's closer to giving up. There is nothing I can do in the face of this great being called fate, so all I can do is do nothing..”
“It doesn't look like he's given up.”
“I have a new goal. As you know.”
said the princess, and what she said was true.
Oliver knew why the princess was doing this. In a small way, it was for his own rest, and in a big way, it was to liberate the hundreds of thousands of people who sacrificed themselves from this cursed forest..
It seemed contradictory, but it was true. At one time, he resented the people who betrayed him, but after countless years of time, he came to understand them..
That's why the princess is like this now..
13Because the only person who could solve this cursed sleeping forest using hundreds of witches and a kingdom as material was the prince of hell who appears in the apocalypse. At least she claimed so.
“······something is strange.”
Oliver suddenly realized something..
At first, I just ignored it because my emotions were strong, but then I suddenly felt something strange..
“Wouldn't the son of an angel be more suitable to fulfill what the princess wants than the prince of hell??”
Wow······.
I felt a cold breeze coming into the sealed castle, as if there was a hole somewhere..
Is it because the last name is old? The hole seemed to be gradually getting bigger. Like the question Oliver had.
“When I think about it, there are a lot of strange things. In the past, the princess said that it is not necessarily the prince of hell who will destroy the world.?”
“Yes, it does open the gates of hell, but it doesn't say anything about destroying the world..”
“You speak as if you heard it from someone..”
“Similar. I am certainly the one who prophesies, but I am also just a person who recites exactly what I saw and heard in my dreams. Perhaps, it can be said that we are the ones who do not know the most..”
“What you're saying is quite convenient. The representative elements that make up the apocalypse are destruction and salvation, and the prince of hell and the son of an angel, but you strangely mix them up... I don't know what my role is, so I wonder if I can do my job..”
“Precious being. I also never wanted the role. I had expectations at first, but that doesn't mean I got this role because I wanted it..”
For the first time, a slight crack appeared in the princess's expression..
It was as if the sedimentary layer accumulated over hundreds of years had cracked and I was seeing the bare face underneath..
Even Oliver, who had treated the princess harshly, paused for a moment at that sight..
Rather than pity for the princess, I feel an inexplicable sense of kinship..
The princess, sensing this, quickly adjusted her expression and apologized..
“sorry. You ended up being rude..”
Oliver neither accepted the apology nor apologized himself. he asked instead.
“Who is the son of an angel?”
Perhaps Oliver should have been the most curious, but he brought out the entity that he was least curious about..
When a prince opens the gates of hell to punish hypocrites on earth, he learns about a being who sacrifices himself to save humanity from evil..
For the first time, Oliver spoke out about the being who had not paid the slightest attention to his problems..
At that moment, there was someone who reminded me of that existence. Of course, she was a woman, not a man..
“I can't answer that. I don't really know, and even if I did, it's not something I can answer directly. The archive has asked about this in the past, but was unable to provide an answer..”
Archives of the past. Merlin appeared in Oliver's mind..
“However, I can tell you one thing. If the prince of hell exists, the son of an angel also exists. They are opposites like two sides of a coin, but at the same time, they are inseparable..”
“I don't know what the princess's role is, but I think she's just trying to frustrate me..”
“Maybe you're not wrong..”
“······?”
“I am the one who has been given the role to help you move forward. This is how a person who is naturally frustrated moves..”
“Does that mean, just to confuse me, it's been here hundreds of years before I was born??”
“I don't know if it's to make you feel frustrated, but I think it's true that I've been waiting for it since it was born several years ago. With the people of the kingdom. At least that's what I concluded.”
I lost everything and endured hundreds of years of suffering for the sake of a being that would be born hundreds of years later..
“······Didn’t I feel resentful??”
“Why do you think so??”
“I think I would have felt resentful. Isn’t it too obvious??”
“······Hehehe.”
After hearing the answer, the princess suddenly let out a low laugh..
“Oh, sorry. I find it a bit amusing that you say such things. I didn't mean anything bad.”
Oliver could tell that she meant it. He was a bit curious himself..
I couldn't tell if he was the one saying these things, because he had been ignoring himself since some point..
At that time, Sleeping Beauty muttered.
“It's resentment... It would be a lie if I said it wasn't there..”
“Does that mean not now??”
“It’s hard for me to complain, because you are the one who has suffered a more unreasonable fate than anyone else. To reap what others have sown... It was difficult to blame such a being. Above all, I am not the only one born with such a fate..”
said Sleeping Beauty. She says she is not the only one who has suffered the same tragic fate..
Who else are you talking about? Surprisingly, quite a few people passed through Oliver's mind. If true it was pretty scary.
“······What would the princess do if I rejected that fate and stayed here for 1,000,000 years??”
“It won't do anything. I have no power or justification to force you to move. but······.”
Sleeping Beauty spoke more carefully than before. Until Oliver gives permission..
“please speak.”
“······I don't think you would have come here if you really wanted to stay still..”
The princess said that Oliver had already made his move. And Oliver couldn't say anything. Because it was true.
When the woman on the camel was about to blow up the castle, she moved and ended up here now..
What can I say, I couldn’t help it when I saw Kevin and Joanna. Is that why she didn't want to stay still? I don't know. It was questionable.
“If you need a place to rest, we will provide it as much as possible. Because the bed is as cozy as it gets.”
Oliver sat quietly on the bed as if accepting her offer..
“······Where is Marie now??”
“We are taking refuge in Area Z. With the help of the Anti-Development Committee.”
“That's a bit surprising..”
“There is someone who helped me.”
“Is Marie caught??”
“If things continue like this, I think they will get caught. There are many people helping her, but her situation is not good..”
“Are there any other warlocks other than Black Hand who are trying to meet Marie??”
“yes.”
Oliver continued to ask questions. Like a person who puts important issues in front of him and does other things. He kept asking questions about all kinds of trivial things that could be figured out with just a little thought..
For example, the actions of warlocks after the Holy Law disappears, or what will happen to the Paterism in the future..
Sleeping Beauty explained the question in detail. Based on the foresight I saw in my dream.
Just like that, Oliver's questions disappeared one by one, and eventually he brought out the most curious, yet most frightening fact..
“A princess once said this to me. I will be tested with anger, I will be tested with sadness, and finally I will be tested with love..”
“yes it did.”
“I think anger and sadness have already been tested.”
Oliver said, thinking of the Pied Piper and Rosburn..
Sleeping Beauty agreed in silence.
“Who will receive the final test of love??”
“You'll know when you go where you want to go and where you don't want to go..”
“It's scary..”
“That's why I think it's a test.”
The princess who waited hundreds of years gave advice.
After listening to the advice, Oliver thought for a while, then got up from the bed and stretched out his hand towards Sleeping Beauty..
“Could you please help me??”
“Anything.”
Sleeping Beauty answered without a moment of hesitation..
After a while, the sleeping forest disappeared with an intense light..
