Chapter 13: 13

Lewarren didn’t stop me. However, he only looked at me as if he was going to watch me try to do it.

“You’re not going?”

“…Mean guy.”

“Right. I didn’t think you could go.”

As he looked around him, he unfolded his divine powers. It was clear that he was looking for enchanted objects or surveillance devices around us. If I was in my old body, I would have known without him having to do that.

Fortunately, there were no such items, he gathered back his powers and approached closer, so I sat down on the sofa first. The red velvet sofa was very soft. I loved the feeling of my behind dipping in, just as the sofa wrapped around me like any other body part. When I saw Kylian earlier, I was so nervous. Thinking that it was only me and Lewarren, I seemed to loosen up a bit.

“Did you say before that Kylian was the one who cried because he couldn’t kill a single bug?”

“Yes.”

“Then experience it for yourself. If you feel that way in Lilith’s body, you’ll probably become a god instead of being reincarnated next time.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Literally. It’s because of what you did, so you fix it. I will help as much as I can. But I don’t know what you’re going to do because you can’t even use divine power.”

I was familiar with Lewarren’s way of speaking. It sounds like he was getting annoyed and holding me accountable, but in reality he was worried.

“Lewarren.”

“Don’t call my name, I’m annoyed.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

“…….”

I knew it.

I could tell right away by looking at his face. It was understandable why he didn’t want to be in the middle. He was a petty thief for a long time, and he was sold as a slave like Lilith before that, so he had a was a clear distinction between was his and others. So he got along well with Kylian. Because Kylian was also a person who could clearly distinguish between him and others.

He’s probably worried about both me and Lilith.

Lewarren sat down on the opposite sofa with his arms crossed with softened eyes.

“Now tell me. You three. How did you get to this point? It’s been five years since I died.”

“I think I’ve already said everything.”

“You are the problem. You have to speak in a way that can be understood by the listener. The only person who understands your way of speaking is Zisis, right?”

“…….”

From my point of view, I wondered if Zisis would become a god after this life ended. If I say this, considering Zisis’ humble attitude, he was sure to cry like a little goat, ‘Lady Anais! *Sob* How can you say such a thing! How can the lowly me be considered a god…!’

“Slowly and carefully please.”

“…….”

He sighed and loosened his folded arms. This meant that he’s ready to talk.

“First, what was the first thing Kylian did after I died?”

“He took care of your body and kept it from decaying.”

My father’s coup became a revolt. That means, it failed. On the day of the coup, the only surviving imperial family member was Kylian. Father pulled the trigger on Kylian for one reason.

“Did he take Father away without mercy?”

Because the people who rebelled together tried to kill Father after the imperial family was all dealt with. They aimed at him with a sense of desperation. Because it was Father’s goal to kill all of the most hated imperial family members.

Of course, that part did not change much from the original story, so I was expecting it. As in the original story, the coup failed. For my father and the Percival Duchy. However, it became a revolution because it succeeded in making Kylian the emperor. My father shot Kylian and subsequently died from Kylian’s sword, and I must have been executed.

“After he became like that, he became numb like a man who lost his mind.”

“I see. So, after taking my body, the priests of death seem to have contacted him?”

“Right.”

“He listened to the priests of death after that, caught all those with divine powers and used them to draw power?”

“Right.”

No matter how terrible Duke Percival was to others, he wasn’t like that to me. He was the one who gave me the parental love I did not receive in my first life. In a very crooked way.

In the original story, Anais Percival was so arrogant that it must have been Duke Percival’s fault that she became a villainess. He supported Anais, so he covered up her evil deeds. The punishment of those who opposed her was dealt quickly, and he would take care of everything without her knowing.

Growing up with a father like that, Anais couldn’t not have become a villainess.

Even before she was ten years old, Anais had committed some evil deeds. The Percival Duchy had a territory on the border with other countries. The duchy’s borders grew day by day, because they swept the small states nearby, making them bankrupt and then absorbing them.

If it had been well taken care of after absorbing it, it might have been fine. However, after I transmigrated to this place, Duke Percival was the main culprit in supplying slaves to other countries from the Cypnos Empire until I persuaded Duke Percival.

Duke Percival loved his daughter, who was the apple of his eye.

Originally, Duke Percival was not very interested in foreign countries. However, if Anais Percival had a quarrel with the princesses of a nearby kingdom or was vaguely insulted, Duke Percival would repay it by force or other tactics.

He only believed the words of a girl who was less than ten years old and ruined neighboring countries. Moreover, stopping the delivery of slaves stopped with just one word after I possessed Anais Percival.

 

“Father, I feel sorry for the slaves.”

 

Really, this was really how it ended. Upon hearing this, Duke Percival got rid of his slave trade business and changed the laws within his duchy.

“Lewarren, do you really think I’ll never wake up in my own body?”

“…Yes.”

“Why?”

“For one thing, your body is already dead. Even if it was forcibly brought back to life, it cannot become a vessel for a soul. There’s a limit to what can be put inside a broken vessel.”

Where should I start?

In fact, if I tell him I think I’ve woken up a few times, will he get angry that I’ve only talked about it now? Besides, I’m not even sure if I was actually waking up in that body.

But Kylian said I woke up. I have memories of it, too. Wouldn’t it be better to meet Kylian and compare my memories?

“What if I wake up with that body?”

“Then you will become a zombie like you said before. Do you think the person who the god of death has resurrected will really be like a human being?”

“…You have a point.”

“Rather, talk to Kylian. Talk to him and prove that you are Anais and clear up the misunderstanding.”

The problem was that there was no misunderstanding to clear up in the first place. From Kylian’s point of view, it’s only natural that he was a victim.

In any case, will my apology, as the perpetrator, bring him peace? Wouldn’t it feel more insulting that I borrowed Lilith’s body in this situation?

“Teach me how to use divine power first.”

“You can’t. If you are not a priest, how can you use divine power?”

“No way at all?”

“…There are ways to enter the religion.”

“How do you do that?”

Lewarren’s expression became serious again. So I swallowed a gulp and waited for what he would say.

“You just have to make a sacrifice at the temple.”

“All the temples got destroyed.”

“Yes.”

“So you’re saying I can’t?”

“Wasn’t the first thing I said was that you couldn’t?”

Damn it. Lewarren ruffled his light blue hair as his long hair ran down his shoulder. It looked like a pretty color from up close. Maybe I would have felt that way if I hadn’t had the blue hair I have now, too.

“Lewarren.”

“What.”

“I’m hungry.”

As the tension was relieved, there was a rumbling thunder in my stomach.

 

 

* * *

 

 

“Didn’t I decide to heal Anais’s body?”

Kylian stared at me coldly without answering. It was my first time seeing those eyes, so I felt like my gut shrunk back down. Lewarren was still sleeping, and Lilith, the saint of the Goddess of Life, was summoned from dawn. In other words, it was me now.

“It’s because the high priest is in a hurry.”

Phileal replied with a smile. Kylian didn’t even respond to what I said. He seemed somehow tired, and he didn’t seem to want to make eye contact with me.

I was going to insist on asking Lewarren what happened between Kylian and Lilith yesterday. I would have asked if I hadn’t eaten and slept afterwards.

“Excuse me, Kylian.”

“Did you forget that I told you not to call my name?”

“Your Majesty.”

“…….”

“Your Majesty, did we have a fight?”

“…….”

“Didn’t Your Majesty get along well with Lewarren?”

“…….”

“Did you really destroy the temples for the priests of death?”

“…….”

“Didn’t we talk comfortably with each other? Why do you hate me so much?”

“…….”

Kylian didn’t even look at me, as if I was invisible, and he didn’t answer. The reason I felt more distant from Kylian was also because Kylian spoke respectfully to me yet he spoke casually with Lilith.

“Lilith.”

“Huh.”

Troubled, Phileal forced a smile. So I decided to just look at the high priest of the death god in front of me.

It was a dark place, and as soon as I arrived, they turned on the chandelier. Thanks to that, it became brighter, perhaps because of that, the other priests of death opened their eyes strangely. Like a mole that is about to die from the brightness.

Only Phileal was fine. And I couldn’t figure out why Kylian wanted me to come along. If he only needs the High Priest to heal, shouldn’t I be out?

And I don’t know how to use divine power. I sighed and went near the high priest. He was lying on the bed, breathing hard.

Unlike the age I assumed him to be, he had a very young face.

“Why is your hair blue?”

Kylian’s sudden question made me pause as I tried to reach out to the high priest. It couldn’t have been more fortunate. Because I don’t know what will happen if he finds out that I can’t use divine power here.
