chapter 21
21 – The Unbeliever’s Past
My memories of the happy times I spent with my parents as a child are very vague.
Because I was separated from my parents when I was just a baby.
After that old Hans took care of me and her older sister.
And after old Hans passed away, her older sister took care of me alone.
Even though it must have been difficult for her to lose her parents and adapt to a normal life, she did her best to help me live without any shortcomings.
He built personal connections, created guilds, and established the highest-level information guild in the empire.
A minor woman who lost her parents and noble life overnight accomplished this feat alone. Just for her own sister.
My sister was always having a hard time, but she didn’t show it at all.
When she had a hard time and thought of her parents, she cried alone in every corner of her house.
To avoid showing me your weakness.
To protect me as I promised with my parents. To raise me
If it was her sister’s outstanding ability, she would have been fine without having to work hard to raise a guild and not operate in the shadows.
My sister has excellent office skills, armed forces, information gathering skills, infiltration skills, and mercenary skills.
If she had been an older sister, she would have been able to live happily ever after receiving a title wherever she went to any country on the continent.
Even the Nova Empire wouldn’t have allowed her to touch her older sister, who had earned her title.
But she chose a hard life in the shadows for me instead of making that choice.
If my sister gets her title in Yangji and lives a prosperous life, she will find out the gnomes of the Nova Empire and she can assassinate me.
If her titled sister is attacked, it is accepted as her active provocation against the country, and the Nova Empire will not be able to touch her sister. On the other hand, even if I, her family, are assassinated, the state does not move. That is why it is said that in the situation of the Nova Empire, I am an object that can be eliminated.
Of course, in the situation of the Nova Empire, you might wonder if it was necessary. Even if they are the surviving daughters of high-ranking aristocrats who were accused of being traitors and killed unjustly, even if they are potential descendants?
There was no guarantee that the Nova Empire could find out our true identities, but it seems that my sister wanted to prevent even that possibility.
Perhaps that’s why she chose to live in the shadows, which is difficult.
After preparing our shelter in a safe and closed space that is rightly called a hideout.
Thanks to my sister, I was able to live a safe life and also a prosperous life.
Pretty clothes, precious metals, jewelry. I could have everything I wanted.
Although I couldn’t go outside or make friends for safety reasons, it didn’t matter because my sister was there to protect me.
Then one day.
I fell ill with the Red Death.
A disease that is tantamount to a ‘curse’ in which the extremities of the body turn red and gradually rot away, eventually leading to death.
A terrible, incurable disease that he contracted even when he didn’t go out or meet anyone.
My sister sacrificed a lot to protect me and made endless efforts, but these results came out.
Yes. Rather, this might be better.
Because of the burden on me, her sister couldn’t enjoy the life her sister should have.
Because of me.
If I disappear… My sister can free me from her burden.
…… Sister can be free
My sister will be sad, but… Because this is for her sister.
Having made that decision, she was lying on her bed, waiting for the day of her death, having lost the will to live.
One day I fell into a long sleep and was hoping for the last moment.
“Sister?”
“Oh…. Oh!”
She came to her senses and saw her older sister who was crying with emotion in front of her eyes.
“Oh, sister!”
Suddenly, my sister hugged me.
She thought she didn’t want to die as she hugged me.
My beloved sister.
Leaving her sister behind.
I hate that.
I am really selfish.
I don’t want to part with her sister on the subject of being a parasite sucking out her sister’s life.
What should I do, sister?
And miraculously, the red death disease was cured.
I’ve never heard of anyone surviving the Red Death.
Even saints of any denomination. The Red Death is the one that failed to cure the archmage of any level.
The disease that makes even the emperor of the empire wait for the day to die if he gets it is cured!
My sister told me.
The savior saved you.
Savior!
Yes. Anyone with the ability to cure the Red Death could truly be called a savior.
Who saved me?
I asked her sister who the savior was.
The older sister replied that she was the current human being who had descended to this land.
Hyeoninshin?
A god who descended to this land in human form…… What does that mean?
What the hell are you talking about?
Sister…… Aren’t you fooled by something strange?
But the older sister is a very talented older sister.
There’s no way a smart person like her older sister could be fooled by someone.
That’s also the story of a strange human being who beats the wise man.
So, are you really a god who borrowed a human body?
…… No.
Come to think of it, her older sister’s judgment may have been a little, no, considerably clouded.
Unni, she really did everything she could to save me from the enemy soldier.
And it must have been a situation where all your mental strength was consumed with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
In that situation, no matter how wise she is, she might be fooled.
…… If that’s the case, it’s because of me that my sister has been deceived by a strange guy.
Huh? But that self-proclaimed wise man healed me.
Then, do you have the ability?
As a result of asking her sister, the self-proclaimed current human body gave her medicine. And they say that the medicine made me completely healed. And she gave the recipe to her sister.
She doesn’t know much about medicine, but her sister said that he created a way to treat teeth by making ingredients that were easy to find around him.
He came down to heal the sick at the bottom of this land with ease.
In order to publicize the cured disease to the world and make people suffering from the Red Death disappear.
…… You just told me how to make medicine?
How to make a rare medicine that cures the terrible disease that everyone in the world fears?
According to her older sister, after learning the recipe for the medicine, according to her will, she has been providing medicine to the sick on the roadside and driving out the Red Death.
Also, my sister’s attitude was a little strange.
Although he said he saved me… You believe and follow him just like that?
Monga… Monga was weird.
To the extent that I wonder if that self-styled self-proclaimed Hyeoninshin may have intentionally approached and worked with her in order to entice and use her.
So I asked my sister.
I want you to meet him.
But my sister refused.
She
No, she said that she would meet her later.
I will let you see me when my body fully recovers. She said so
Even if the Red Death was completely removed from my body, the aftereffects were still there.
So, my sister forbade me to go out of the hideout until I was completely healed.
More than 10 years have passed since then.
Her sister’s fanaticism for him intensified.
Because of her sister’s outstanding abilities, the church led by her sister grew rapidly, and she thought it was her virtue.
From my point of view, it was purely her older sister’s skills.
She said 10 years have passed, but she still didn’t allow me to go out of the hideout.
She was allowed to go out for a while with her sister’s closest subordinates, but she was not allowed to go out alone.
Then a few days ago. She came out of the hideout and at a meal alone, her sister said.
That he will enter the academy this semester.
…… What? Admission? To enter the academy… You mean you just came of age?
No, then you’re younger than me?
If you’ve reached the age of majority this time… It becomes a story that he was only seven or eight when he gave my sister the medicine to save me.
My sister always talked about being a savior, a savior, so I thought she was a swindler who was quite old, but she was younger than me?
My sister said that he wouldn’t touch the academy, so she said she wouldn’t be able to meet him this time either.
She told me not to come to the academy? Taking advantage of her sister like that?
He is younger than me. The boy who saved me.
I wanted to know what kind of person he was.
My sister said she would let me meet her when the time was right, but she said it wouldn’t be until he graduated from her academy.
But recently, her older sister’s faith has become so extreme that she even thinks of colliding head-on with her holy kingdom.
At this point, she might commit a dangerous thing that she can’t turn back for that guy.
…… Before that.
I’ll expose his true identity!
The various skills that her sister learned behind her back and over her shoulder.
It’s the first time I’ve used it in practice, but it was used well without any mistakes as if it were my skill.
After all, am I the sister’s bloodline?
It felt good to feel a sense of identification with her sister.
I succeeded in infiltrating the academy dormitory as a maid.
Originally scheduled to be his exclusive maid, he secretly captured and sent her back to her hometown, and succeeded in borrowing her identity.
And waited in his room.
The person I’ve been wanting to see for 10 years.
He said he saved me.
The one who made my sister wait so long.
Even so, he’s the bad guy who didn’t come to see his sister.
He’s a strange guy who claims to be a god himself.
To know what kind of man he is.
If he really is not an impostor and is the savior who saved me, I intend to give him everything and ask for his forgiveness.
Finally the room opened and I came in.
With beautiful light blue hair…… He is my ideal type in my dreams.
