History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 364
364fury. fourth ending spoiler (2)
This is the royal capital of Magenta.
A living room for VIP guests located on one side of the room..
Parts……!
A passage of blue light appeared in the space..
Lloyd walked into it..
His figure disappeared inside..
next moment.
The world's time, which had stopped for a moment, began to flow again..
The clouds flowing through the night sky.
The air quality in the living room of the VIP accommodation.
Haviel’s breathing while he was pretending to be asleep.
His quietly closed eyelids.
It moved quietly. I woke up It sparkled.
“…….”
In the dark bedroom of the dorm, Javiel silently woke up..
And I looked for signs in the living room..
I felt Lloyd's presence..
But when I went there?
‘does not exist.’
I looked around the living room..
Lloyd was nowhere to be seen..
However, the sound and presence of Lloyd's breathing could be heard little by little from all directions..
I could even hear the sound of gurgling and swallowing..
“…….”
Javiel suddenly remembered a past memory..
How long was it before the construction of the Great Aqueduct?.
Something similar happened back then as now..
I had something to report so I went to Lloyd's bedroom..
Lloyd's presence was felt throughout the bedroom..
But I could never find it..
Even in front of the table.
Even under the bed.
Even beyond the curtain.
I looked for every possible hiding place, but I couldn't find Lloyd..
However, the situation at the time still felt like a presence..
Now is the same as then.
“…….”
How many secrets is that fake Lloyd hiding?.
What are they planning to do this time?.
“The facial expression earlier wasn't good..”
Javiel suddenly remembered the image of Lloyd he had seen earlier..
He said he was going to say goodbye to the king..
It was good until I got to the royal castle..
Lloyd's expression changed 180 degrees after returning to the castle..
Of course, it was barely noticeable on the outside..
It was a subtle change in facial expression that would be almost undetectable to a stranger..
But he was different.
He had been with Lloyd for several years..
I was able to immediately recognize the change in facial expression and emotional turmoil of that bad-tempered master, no matter how subtle the change..
Thanks to you, I felt it.
‘I was feeling anxious. I was nervous and nervous.’
At the same time, it seemed like he was preparing for something..
He seemed to be singing a lullaby to me while trying to hide his expression..
That's why.
I wanted to know.
What on earth happened to make it like that?.
Why don't you tell yourself what's going on?.
What are you trying to do alone, so nervous, anxious, and nervous?.
And yourself… … Is there any way to help?.
‘So I did something unbecoming..’
I pretended to be asleep.
It wasn't difficult.
Even though Lloyd is a sword master with advanced senses,.
He was a grandmaster who far surpassed even that..
It was so easy to fool Lloyd's senses..
That's how I tricked Lloyd..
Until I felt a change in his presence..
I closed my eyes, pretended to sleep, and waited..
‘But it's strange. I opened my eyes as soon as I felt a peculiar flow of mana in the living room where Lloyd was. In the meantime, Lloyd disappeared..’
Where on earth did Lloyd go?.
What kind of condition is it in?.
Why can I feel his presence but not see him?.
Besides, why on earth is that figure making a groaning sound like a person in shock?.
‘Like someone having a nightmare.’
Javiel let out a soft sigh..
Meanwhile, I thought for a while in the dark living room..
Should I wait for Lloyd like this?.
Or should I just pretend to fall asleep again so he can safely come back?.
And how should I help him who seems to be in unspeakable trouble?.
While the silver-haired knight was lost in thought,.
The night deepened and the moonlight became darker..
♣
The sun is slowly setting.
The space in the ending spoiler that just came in.
The moment of the future ending revealed through this gap in time.
Lloyd frowned as the setting sun suddenly pierced his retina..
No, I tried to frown but failed..
My eyelids couldn't move freely.
That trivial fact reminded me of one rule..
‘Oh right. Now I can't move my body.’
It's always like this when I write ending spoilers..
You can only observe and experience the situation by being overlaid in a future body that faces death..
I couldn't move or control my body at will.
‘Tsk.’
Lloyd suppressed his glare and tried to understand his surroundings as much as possible..
But it was in the meantime.
“Lloyd, I'm here..”
A low voice was heard from beside me..
It was a familiar voice, Habiel..
Before long, something gently covered my shoulders..
Did he put on a coat for me?.
But I couldn't react.
From earlier, I had no strength in my whole body..
I was extremely upset and nauseous..
It felt like I was having a terrible hangover..
‘but. Well, because it's the moment of death.’
This is already the fourth ending spoiler..
Lloyd did not panic and remained calm even at the moment of foreseeable death..
Now is not the time to be sentimental..
You must observe the situation at this moment and the conversation as much as possible..
We need to gather at least one more piece of information like a straw..
With a firm resolve, Lloyd watched the situation more calmly..
Meanwhile, I heard the sound of grass rustling next to me..
Judging by his appearance, I wonder if that guy, Javiel, is sitting next to me?.
It probably seemed like that..
“Javiel.”
Soon, a thin voice comes out through my lips..
Javiel's answer came back as if he had been waiting for it..
“Yes, Lloyd..”
“There's something I want to say.”
“yes please.”
“It seems a bit long.”
“it's okay.”
Javiel, is he really crying?.
As usual, his voice was filled with unique coldness..
But the end of those words were faintly wet and trembling..
Sigh, this side of the future laughed hard..
And opened my mouth.
“This ending spoiler is really terrible. yes?”
“yes?”
“Just listen. Because I don't have time to explain everything.”
“…….”
“It started from then. Immediately after the construction of the Pantara Mountains Railway was completed. You probably felt it. The King says there seems to be something wrong with your left arm. That feeling is right. Don't ever just spill it.”
A voice struggling, stuttering, but trying to speak clearly..
Just like what I said to Javiel.
On the one hand, like a monologue.
But in fact…….
‘Is this really something you're telling me??’
I guess it seemed like that..
Lloyd focused on the story coming out of his future self's lips..
“King's left arm, it's going to get even worse. It's going to get worse much faster than expected. Just numb? I wish it had been that much. Unfortunately, it's even worse in this version. It rotted away in just two months. My arm just, like it had some kind of disease..”
‘…….’
The King's sister's arm is rotting away.?
Lloyd's eyes widened at the terrible words..
The story of the future self continued..
“So I just cut it. Because no treatment worked. I feel like if I leave it as is, my life will be in danger. He cut it himself. I bit my lip once. If I tell you this far, you can get a general idea, right? Yes, that's right. Iron-blooded knight. The attempted assassination of the king that took place there. The result was very similar to that..”
‘……what.’
Lloyd was astonished..
It was really awful to hear..
The phenomenon of restoration of fate that I had seen before somehow seemed to be even more cruel than the first version..
‘furthermore… … We are closer to the original story of the Iron Blood Knight than before..’
Lloyd held his breath..
I focused more on my future story..
“It's the same after that. The King's sister, who cut off her arm, eventually changed her personality. I guess it must have been such a shock to cut off my own arm after experiencing such terrible things. Probably so. Anyone would do that. Especially since the King is a person who uses a sword. It must have added to the sense of loss of losing an arm. Anyway… … Phew.”
My future self takes a moment to catch my breath..
The story continued again.
“Sister King, as your personality changes little by little, you begin to be suspicious of those around you. I think someone added a tiny bit of poison to their food and thought that's why their arm was paralyzed and rotted. So I executed all the servants. Still, his anger seemed to have not subsided, and even the court wizards were hanged along with him. I know why?”
‘…….’
I do not know.
But somehow I think I know.
“Yeah, you guessed it, right? that's right. It was because of suspicion. Suspicions that a magical curse, rather than a poison, may be the cause of the arm necrosis. Anyway, even the court wizards were purged like that. Thanks to this, the House of Nobles was in an uproar. Of course. Among the court wizards, there were many descendants of noble families. that's right. That was the beginning of the civil war.”
‘……Phew.’
As I listened, I pictured the situation..
The entire royal capital was probably covered in dark clouds..
Because it was like that in the novel Iron-Blooded Knight..
The king's sister, who lost her arm in an attempted assassination of the king, went on a rampage, became suspicious of everyone around her, and carried out a large-scale bloody purge..
‘As a result, a civil war broke out.’
More than half of the country is devastated.
Countless fields and villages burned down.
The majority of noble families fell into the abyss of extinction..
But it seemed like that happened here too..
After listening to what the future said, it was really like that..
“Those who follow the King and those who oppose tyranny. It was a big war. So which side is my family on? Of course it was your sister’s side. I was calculating enough and it was clear which way the civil war would be won or lost..”
Probably so..
Even I would have moved like that..
Mirae's monologue continued..
“Of course, I didn't actively participate. I hated meaningless war. Should I say that I actually held on in a neutral position? Fortunately, the King's sister seemed to have completely lost her senses, so she didn't question me much. Although the other action taken instead was a bit problematic,.”
‘…….’
What kind of action did you take?.
Lloyd was taken aback by Future's subsequent testimony..
“King, you started a war with another country just as the civil war was almost over. To control the domestic atmosphere. For the reason of uniting the surviving King faction nobles. Invaded the southwest. know? Kingdom of Veneto.”
‘…….’
no way.
Lloyd felt eerie..
But it was true.
“The Pantara Mountains Railway that I opened. That trade route was used as an invasion route. Thanks to this, the Kingdom of Veneto fell before it could last even ten days. So what about me? I rebelled. This is a different story. They said they didn't create a trade route to do something like that. But the cost of that backlash was a bit greater than expected. It disappeared. Praise, the bearer of Magentano.”
‘The praise is gone?’
The one who carries magentano.
It was the first compliment he ever received..
It was a gentle compliment that ensured that no matter what he did, he would not be suspected or hated by the King, and that he would receive her full support, favor, and support..
But if it disappears?
Even if the King disappeared while becoming a tyrant.?
It was obvious even without looking after that..
“By this point, you probably have a general idea. that's right. As soon as the praise disappeared, the control that had been holding her doubts down until now was released. Our family has become so powerful that any ordinary monarch would have felt suspicious and threatened, but the dam that prevented it has disappeared..”
My future self chuckled..
The voice became more self-mocking..
“Branded treason. He has become a public enemy of the entire kingdom. What would I have done in that situation? Well, what else can you do? I openly opposed it. I couldn't see any more room to negotiate or compromise. So the second civil war began. The King's sister's royal family and our family. So, who won?.”
I think I understand.
It's this way.
My future self nodded..
“You would know. we won The castle was captured fifteen days ago..”
‘…….’
“Actually, I was going to stop there? But it wasn't reality. King, you committed suicide..”
‘…….’
“I thought this wasn't right. The situation was really shitty. It was from then on. I watched the situation unfold. How reality is broken, distorted, and falling apart. How does it end? But a person’s life can be ruined really quickly. So it was yesterday. The Count and Countess Frontera were buried in the tomb..”
What else happened?.
Mirae's own voice, which became more self-deprecating, gave the answer..
“While I was on an expedition to capture the capital, someone from among the nobles who followed the king sent someone. I met the two of you, pretending that it was a dispatch from me, or that I had brought you an important and urgent letter. And then… … I stabbed you without you having time to do anything..”
‘…….’
“Of course, you two had an escort. I'm not so sloppy as to leave the house unprotected. But the assassins and nobles sent it with purpose. He was a sword master wandering abroad without any affiliation..”
‘…….’
“Anyway, I drank a lot since yesterday and my whole body feels weak. But what can I do? My heart aches like this. In the end, I couldn't tell them the truth or call them my parents. He was sorry, he was sorry, and his heart ached. So it’s been a while since I drank it. Thanks to you, I decided in the meantime.”
My future self chuckled..
I knew it when I saw that smile.
What decision did he make?.
What are you thinking?.
Why is now the moment of death for my future self?.
“okay. You would know. Lloyd Frontera wrote the ending spoiler. You are the one peeking into the present from the past. You must have noticed it earlier, right? That this is my message to you.”
‘…….’
Know.
He predicted the situation in which he would write an ending spoiler and left this message right before his death..
So I was thinking.
After all, it’s like yourself.
At the same time, I was puzzled.
‘It's just that I'm not feeling well from binge drinking, but this is the moment of death.?’
It was a little strange.
He looks like he's in pain because of binge drinking..
It looks like you're very heartbroken..
But it didn't look like it was going to die..
‘And he's acting like he knows he's going to die soon. Wait, then no way…….’
It was then.
My future self grinned..
“that's right. Ending spoiler, it shows death at the last moment. But death is something that can be faced somehow..”
……no way.
Lloyd thought.
But it was true..
My future self turned his head for the first time..
I said to Javiel who was sitting next to me..
“Javiel, now is the time..”
“……Do you really have to do this?.”
“uh. Only then will I survive, the Count and Countess, and His Majesty the King survive..”
“but…….”
“trust me.”
“…….”
Javiel’s complicated gaze looking at us this way.
Judging by the atmosphere, it seemed like a lot of talk had already been exchanged between the two about the current situation..
My future self probably insisted..
I must have persuaded him persistently and persuaded him again..
He must have dragged the reluctant Javiel here..
Thanks to this, Javiel would eventually nod his head while crying like that..
“……All right.”
Javiel woke up.
The guy stood with his back to the sunset.
Thanks to this, the crying guy's face was visible covered in shadow..
His shadow covered this face too..
The only thing that shined was the sword he drew..
Grumble.
Javiel raised his sword..
The tip of the sword was trembling slightly..
As if checking for the last time, or as if he couldn't let go of his regrets, as if hesitating..
I asked.
“Is this really the only way?.”
“uh.”
“…….”
Javiel bit his lip tightly..
This side of the future smiled bitterly..
And as if leaving a will, I spit it out.
“Oh, and this is the conclusion I came to after much reasoning: There is someone who brought about the restoration of destiny ahead of schedule. That's right-”
Javiel's blade fell off.
so quietly.
The blade cut my body..
that was the last time.
fresh blood pouring out.
body falling down.
Consciousness fading rapidly.
At that moment, I gathered my last breath and whispered it like a sigh..
“……king of hell.”
Soon everything was immersed in darkness..
