Chapter 206: Rohakhan’s Words (1)

[I have one last gift for you. Not as Rohakan, but as a teacher… oh. Of course, I know that I haven’t done enough to be called your teacher. Still, what can I do? When you were young, I promised, receiving your father’s money, that I would be your teacher…]

It was an absurd thing to say. If it were the original Deculein, he would have sharpened his teeth with disgrace or humiliation. However.

“Primienne.”

“Yes,”

I spoke as I read Rohakan’s letter.

“We’re leaving.”

“…I’ll prepare the horses.”

Primienne went out, and my gaze moved back to the book.

[Disciple. When I first realized the world, I was old. But as the world grows, I am young now.]

Rohakan. He grew old, but upon developing that magic, he became young again. His supernatural origin was the World Line. It was a huge power that no human being could take, superior even to Epherene, whose origin was Time, Ellie, who had Space, and Adrienne, who had Destruction. But the higher the level, the closer one was to death.

[I remember the first time I met Sophien. She was such a perfect kid as if someone sculpted her.]

I could hear Rohakan’s voice. It was like a mirage had appeared in the middle of the library, born from the magic permeating the book.

—You’re good at learning, huh? Your magical talent is exceptional.

—…Be respectful!

Sophien was five years old at the time, before she experienced her infinitely recursive poisoning, and Rohakan was too old.

—Hey. This little kid, are you on the verge of becoming a tyrant?

—What!

—You rascal. Just hurry up and read this book.

—What!

Rohakan, as a friend of Emperor Crebaim, was teaching Sophien magic theory.

[Deculein, I understand why you are loyal to the Imperial Family. You follow the ideology of the chosen more deeply than anyone else.]
