Chereads / Vengeance of the Fallen Magus / Chapter 24 - Solution (Part 2)

Chapter 24 - Solution (Part 2)

"Cat did not getting your tongue, unless they bit yours." Elanor laughed and replied to him so.

With that word spoken by him, the door closed slowly.

He went to Kingstone's side, who remained still, kneeling as if he were the knight. He reached his left shoulder by using his right hand, pulling him up, and told him,

"Rise up, Kingstone, this is our buddy talks. There is no need to be that formal."

However, Kingstone did not move at all. He was too sturdy to rise.

"It's fine, that's my father in my past life after all." Chris reacted to Kingstone's extreme respect for him. At the same time, he stated that since Kingstone knew everything about his [Law of the Life and Death] already.

Thus, there shall remain no secret between them. But, there was a person who Elanor deemed as not the person who shall know all of this. He demanded his daughter as he said,

"May you leave from this place?"

"He's my friend. I can't let him leave unattended!" Elea replied with a decisive tone beneath the door.

"Apologizes, Lady Elea. This is the top secret mission in your father's guild. We can't let anyone else but only three…."

Elanor used the most threatening words that a father could say to his daughter as he pulled his sword up from his sheathe that sat in his left hip before Kingstone managed to talk for the continuation while he rose from his knelt position.

"Then I shall kill you for Treason!"

"If she wants to know everything about me, let her hear it."

"But, Chris! This is related to your future…."

"Instead of killing your own daughter!?" Chris yelled at him back.

That yell alone was a good choice if he was still the Ancient Magus like who he was in his past life. But he was a beginner in this era.

If he was with someone else, then that was a good reason to silence him right away for disobeying the elder.

But, with the current relationship between his family and Elea's family, there was no reason for Elanor not listening to him as a man who cherishes cooperation more than everything.

"Chris, sorry. I have to kill my daughter if she disobeyed you or either me. This is for the.."

"I SAID, DON'T LAY YOUR FINGERS TO ELEA!"

With the same tone in the early day when he woke up in the university's infirmary, he continued,

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED UNDER THEIR VERY OWN FAMILY'S HAND IN THE NAME OF SECRECY?"

"DO YOU KNOW HOW PAINFUL HER HEART WAS HEART WHEN SHE HEARD THAT FROM HER OWN FATHER WHO SHE LOVED, RESPECTED, CHERISHED?!"

"DO YOU KNOW HOW FAR THE IMPACT IN THIS WORLD'S LIFE BALANCE WHEN ONE MAN KILLED THEIR FAMILY?"

He remembered the past where he had seen a man who looked at him with a faint smile, drenched with the blood as he told him,

"Don't kill your twin brother for this, Chris. He did this to protect you."

"No, Father! This is unjustified!" Chris replied with a sorrowful voice. But, that man who had deteriorated into the deep slumber of the scars replied,

"Be a wise man, Chris. Don't look everything with only your own point of view. One day…"

"ARRRGH!!"

Chris shrieked again as he grabbed both of his horns painfully. It was another memory that caused his painful experience in his brain nerve had flashed for once again, sounded as if that it was the curse for him.

"Fuck! This again!!" Chris continued to shriek, rendering Elea to smashed the door open.

She pushed her father away, grabbing Chris's hands, yelling at him,

"WAKE UP, CHRIS!! DON'T LET THAT GUILT ENGUILFING YOUR LIFE!"

"Outrageous! Unfilial Daughter!" The enraged Elanor, who was angered enough to her for refusing to leave, charged on her. He was about to slap her for the reason of being unfilial. But, Elea grabbed his right hand at the moment before it landed to her face on her back, telling him,

"Listen to me, father. I know everything as well! That's the reason of myself helping Chris since in the first place!"

"You know nothing, Elea!" The furious father replied to her. But, she insisted,

"I KNOW THAT CHRIS WAS MY HUSBAND IN MY PAST LIFE!"

A strong shockwave had shot Elanor back after she had told him about the truth.

"We can't hide this forever, as I told you before, Guild Master." Chris replied with a sigh after seeing how Elea protected him a lot, even for herself doing this.

Rather than being angered by Elea's statement earlier, he sighed in a glad instead. Not because that he had given up or something. Instead, a delightful smile had been drawn in his face, telling her from his lips that bespoke,

"I'm glad that you had realized it."

"I have been realized it since I meet him in the university. Even when how he incapacited Loki, makes me remember how he was being protective to professor Hora. I mean, sister Lein. It was the same, without a doubt."

Thus, Kingstone snapped his left finger as the guild master signaled by moving his left middle finger horizontally twice. It was resulting in a sphere of magic being engulfing them.

At the same time, Elea raised her right hand towards her father, apologized while she pulled him up,

"Apologize for being impudent earlier, father. But you were gone overboard. So I had no choice but to tell this all. In fact, I have know everything about my past life after the insight that flashed on my mind as I looked at him."

"The another side effect of the [Law of the Life and Death] huh?" He replied while standing up, restoring his composure.

Thus, he went back to the topic, telling Chris the solution that he wanted to say to him as the purpose of his coming. Therefore, he asked Chris,

"[Wand of Herrscher], ever heard it before?"
