Chapter 189: Younger Sister (3)

Chapter 189: Younger Sister (3)

I also had a younger sister, though now I could no longer remember her voice. Someone who was sometimes annoying, at other times grumpy for unknown reasons, and would glance at me up and down when I called her name. Of course, that girl wasn’t Yeriel.

Yeriel wasn’t that girl. It might be my misunderstanding that their personalities were similar at first glance or even felt similar. Maybe I just wanted to replace her with Yeriel. Ever since I first met Yeriel, I might have begun to harbor those selfish thoughts without realizing them. However, there was nothing more foolish than wandering into the source of an unknown emotion.

I hated philosophies that contemplated and explored one’s self. I didn’t waste time looking for reasons behind my emotions. I had pride in this unchanging self, so I would never lie.

So I could be sure of Yeriel, who found me first after I became Deculein. Whether Yeriel was Demon Blood or not, nothing changed. I already thought of her as my younger sister. These were my words, I, who was Kim Woojin that became Deculein.

“Yeriel.”

I looked at Yeriel. She had her mouth shut, and her two large eyes shook.

“Go back now. Go, take charge of your estate. Yukline needs you.”

Yeriel was curious about it, but Elesol didn’t ask for much. Do not operate the gas chambers in Rohalak, don’t randomly execute political prisoners held there, and once every three months, allow them communication with Rohalak.

“You don’t need to know.”

Yeriel met my eyes.

“Then… what do you want to do with the Demon Blood from now on?”

“I can’t reverse the flow. Now, the Empire, the Continent, and the Emperor seek the suppression and destruction of the Demon Blood, and I cannot go against the waves.”

Sophien held a grudge against the Demon Blood. They were the only way to reach the Altar.

“The Demon Blood and the Empire have gone too far. I will still suppress the Demon Blood, but one day, when the time is right, I will be able to convey one thing to Her Majesty.”

Sacrificing the Demon Blood to clear the main quest. Of course, it might not be the right way, but a villain chooses any means and methods to achieve his goal. If I could break the Altar more efficiently, I would gladly do so. Even if I paid the price someday, I would be satisfied.

“…I. I have a question.”

Yeriel stuttered as she approached me.

“You used to hate me. But…”
