Chapter 210: University Magic Tower (2)

Resting in the teaching room, Sophien received Deculein’s message from her court lady.

“I’m sorry…”

“…I don’t mind. That professor is like that.”

He said that he wouldn’t come today, but next Wednesday, on his normal teaching day. She understood because Deculein was a person who valued ​​principles. He was a man who was incredibly firm in his beliefs, like a giant tree that never bent.

“And seeing this, the feeling of wanting to meet him is gone. Rather, this is better.”

The wooden box contained Rohakan’s head. Looking at it, Sophien’s mouth tasted bitter. It was bizarre indeed. This guy was a criminal who deserved to die. He was one of the worst pieces of scum in the history of the Empire, the one who murdered the Empress…

Click—

Sophien opened the lid. Then, she was silent.

“…”

At first, she thought it wasn’t Rohakan, as it was the head of a boy. But it wasn’t long before she confirmed that he was Rohakan. His mana remained clear inside his head.

“…You died.”

Sophien regarded Rohakan. It looked like he was going to open his eyes any second and say something to her. Saying, just like back then, ‘I killed her.’

“This damn bastard…”

Sophien’s memories of the day Rohakan assassinated the Empress were sparse. She was good at grasping the situation, but she could hardly remember those moments. Even if she tried to recall a little bit, it vanished like a switch turning off.

“You died with a face younger than mine.”

Nevertheless, one thing was certain: a blue moon had appeared in the sky at the moment when Rohakan confessed.

“…You.”

Sophien raised her head and looked to the courtier. The court lady bowed with a tremble.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

At that moment, Rohakan’s voice rang again in Sophien’s mind.

—Sophien. You know too. Everyone around you suffers misfortune, with no exception.
