Episode ten. It's a precognitive dream, but it's a deception. >
"Whoa..."
Pelas sank onto his bed with a heavy sigh as soon as he entered his room.
After a few minutes of chatting with the beast-like Egor, he was physically and psychologically drained.
Havertz, who was standing behind him, was looking at Pelas with concern.
"Bocchan, why did you say it?" "To suggest that you're squandering an opportunity that the Count was concerned about."
Pelas murmured a response while burying his face in the pillow.
"Because I require it."
"What exactly do you mean?"
Pelas remained silent and covered his face.
What are your thoughts?
I know this since I played Winter War 3, but isn't it time to battle the successor now?
Can't we simply wait till the terrible winter battle begins?
I was desperate to believe it.
It's a world devoid of games.
When Pelas did not respond, Havertz approached carefully and said.
"Bocchan, I've spent my entire life serving you; could you kindly offer me some words?"
"..."
"Young lord!"
Pelas, who was looking around, raised his head whenever a good idea struck him.
He then immediately spit it out.
"I had a foreshadowing dream."
"Yeji...Mong?"
"okay."
That was all a lie.
After all, precognitive dreams were Fellas who had been sleeping well without dreaming due to the comfortable bed and delicious food.
Precognitive dreams in this world, however, were not in vain.
It was a story in Winter War 2 where everything happened because of precognitive dreams.
Of course, no one was unaware of the narrative in the history books, and Havertz was no exception.
As a result, individuals in this planet had a high level of confidence in precognitive dreams.
"Are you certain?"
I was aware of it.
Of course, in Havertz's instance, it was due to his faith in Pelas.
Pelas, on the other hand, acted calmly and nodded.
"okay."
"Could you explain what it's about?"
"I told you I had to travel to Vatinova."
"You mean Nova, Bati?"
Vatinova.
It was the county of DiMeo, located in the far north of the Norston area.
The kingdom's most desolate territory.
Or the country known as the Place of Death.
Havertz's countenance altered dramatically as he heard his name.
"Are you considering going?"
Pelas gave a nod.
"Because I resigned from my job as successor for that purpose."
In truth, he was unconcerned about the replacement.
With numerous political concerns, personal safety risks, and so many other things to accomplish.
He simply desired to live comfortably.
Even if Count DiMeo was booted out of the nation because he couldn't become the successor, he could live a life like that at his age.
'That's more than enough for me. 'In comparison to my past existence.'
Even if I was forced out of the heir, I would be able to do and eat anything I wanted without any difficulty.
Of course, he didn't know much about his younger brother Edan, the contender for the family's next leader.
Because he was a figure who only lived in the setting and did not appear in Winter War 3.
Should they toss them away despite the fact that they are brothers?
But, a bit more strength was required to live such a life securely.
The fight of the end will be handled skillfully by Leonil, who saved him, but the entire planet will be harmed to some level.
There was also another major issue...
The emergence of Pelas was not the end of the Winter War.
'It reappears as a mid-level boss...Pellas, no me.'
It was.
Pelas reappears as a villain in Winter War 3 midway through the second half.
In the shape of a person who sold his soul to Satan.
in the shape of a genuine monster.
Leonil will not chop off his legs at that moment, but he will cut off his head and dismember him totally.
'I'm not going to be able to accomplish that...'
First and foremost, you have no idea when you will sell your soul to the devil.
Pelas, who had transformed into a demon, emerged out of nowhere, so players had no idea when or where Pelas would make a deal with the devil.
In any event, it was determined that it should be avoided.
That's why the future head of household didn't matter to Pellas just now.
It was more vital to have sufficient strength to avoid encounters with demons.
"There is something there to be gained."
Pelas cast a hardened glance towards Havertz.
Survive the apocalypse and demons while suffering the least amount of damage.
Something fresh was required to do this.
And there it was in Vatinova.
* * *
Then Fellas left.
The research of Count Egor.
"Your vision has shifted."
Count Egor had just remembered Pelas' eyes.
It wasn't the eldest son's face, which had remained immature until now.
It wasn't only that jerk who rotted on the inside.
Fellas, in reality, was not out of line from the start.
No, on the contrary, I had heard that he was a gifted individual who could outperform Count Egor.
Until an unexpected event killed all of the servants in this home who were close to him, who were like family to him and cared for him.
Hans agreed as well.
"Large guy hasn't eaten a regular bowl since he was a kid."
"What will you do when you grow up? It's now a cracked and shattered bowl."
"That surely was till now, Count."
"Do you mean not right now?"
"Don't you know who the Count is?"
Count Egor did not respond.
He was aware as well.
The expression Pelas gave me just now.
It was as though I was gazing in the mirror.
You would have the same face if you looked in the mirror 20 years ago.
A strong will and faith in the future.
He exudes confidence, as though he knows everything about the distant future.
And it was Count Egor who saw the world he had imagined come true.
As a result, I knew better.
How far a person with such a face can go.
"Tsk if you don't do it for a day or two."
"Count. Bocchan has always been constant in one character: he always sees the conclusion of what he starts."
"Didn't he do something stupid?"
"Even the insanity has passed."
"Keuheum. Genga mocking me."
"How dare I do that; all I want is for you to believe in a larger boy."
Egor responded by turning his head to Hans' comments.
"The second one is also doing nicely."
"I understand, but the second boy is not a vessel for the Dimeo family."
"..."
That was, in some ways, off-topic.
It wasn't the same as a one-sided butler.
But Egor remained silent to Hans.
Hans was a magnificent knight who didn't have to be Egor's butler in the past.
Egor had saved Hans' life when he was on the battlefield.
That was a connection that lasted till now.
The knights of Count Dimeo's family are now ready to display their nobility owing to Hans' meticulous schooling.
Egor trusted Hans to that level, and Hans helped Egor.
Not as a butler and master, but as two men.
Perhaps as close friends who traversed the war alongside one another.
Because he was such a Hans, he couldn't keep even such perilous advise to himself.
"Pelas always has high expectations for you."
"Count.
"...You're talking about it, so keep an eye on me for a little while longer."
"You're constantly hesitant to express your actual sentiments."
Egor turned his head to face Hans.
"Haha, that's it for today; I'm off to make some refreshments."
Hans exits the room.
Egor slumped back and buried himself in his chair.
"Wait...is it a silver lion, Pelas?"
* * *
Vatinova.
where does death go?
Despite its name, Vatinova was also a site where people resided.
While tiny in scale, there was a castle with an exterior wall and county knights who defended the settlement.
Despite Pelas' worries, Egor accepted his opinion without comment.
Going to Vatinova, not the location of the replacement exam.
It was the consequence of Havertz's efforts to convince him.
Fellas, on the other hand, had no idea it would be that simple.
Still, he was the eldest son and the first.
In any event, it was just a matter of seconds once Egor's authorization was given.
Egor, on the other hand, imposed a condition on Pelas.
"To take the successor examination here."
It was.
Egor's condition is to take the Vatinova successor test.
That was the end of it.
Contrary to the planned plan of marching with a few elite as a result of this, Pelas led a party of knights to Vatinova.
Pelas, Havertz, and the escort knight Robben, whom he hasn't seen in a long time, are all present.
In addition, the family has seven regular knights.
There were a total of ten individuals.
Pellas had a basic composition because the successor test was not the goal in the first place.
"The view isn't all that horrible."
Those were the first words Pelas spoke upon entering Vatinova.
It was literally true.
Yet Robben, who had gone out for the first time in a long time, did not appear to be like that.
He was breathing heavily and had a cheerful look that belied his enormous stature.
"Ha! Like the youngster stated, the sight is wonderful!"
"Is that meant to be a complement to the scenery?"
"Of course!" says the author.
Unlike the harsh expression on the day when the memory of the past life initially returned, it now appeared haughty.
It's like...like it's a huge puppy experiencing his first snowfall.
One of his abilities was believed to be the greatest among the family's knights, according to Havertz's comments, but I couldn't have imagined it.
There's a saying that I couldn't get higher due of my light personality, therefore it was obvious that my personality was distinctive.
"Ehh..."
Pelas stared at Robben, shook his head, and then turned away.
He was unfamiliar with the surroundings of Vatinova.
Of course, it wasn't the first time, but it was a location I'd visited while playing Winter War 3.
This had nothing to do with the main objective that tied the tale together, but it was a place to visit to complete an accomplishment or fill the progress level completely.
Even though it was a low-level field, the difficulty was more than imagined, therefore it was also a location where more than second playthroughs were seeking for rather than first playthroughs.
'But my name is Pellas, not Leonil.'
The occurrence that complicated the tale was an issue since it included Leonil.
Leonil, the person in command, proceeded to the next main quest area after completing this sub-quest section.
Perhaps Pelas would not have had such a severe dilemma.
Nonetheless, this Vatinova has one really fascinating hidden item.
The reason Pelas arrived to this desolate location.
Something that will make your life simpler in the future.
In Winter War 3, this item is the sole option.
[The Shrine's Gloves]
That was the end of it.
