Egret

The commander continues to open his mouth without knowing anything while the spirits roar.

“You don't have to be so careful. I just wanted to talk to you this time. ”

“How can you believe that? ”

Edan refuted in a cheap tone. Despite the reaction of the day, the opponent smiles as if he was just in the wind.

“Well, there's no way to prove it. Anyway, I mean it. Why would I crawl all the way to the Pope's office at such a time of high security? ”

“ ……. ”

“It's obvious. ”

I didn't mean to be sarcastic. However, it was even more suspicious to have his unfavorable situation in his mouth and not to be touched.

Although he kept his mouth shut, Edan's black pupils looked more sharply inside the chapel. As he first stepped into it instead of Judas, dozens of pairs of red eyes appeared in the dark as if they were candles.

“However, the subject I want to talk to you about is His Majesty the Crown Prince. ”

Between the red eyes of the shining commanders, the boy's voice proceeded like water.

“Just one person. The rest of you will have to wait there. ”

“Bullshit."

Karl-like refusal has returned again. Of course, Edan and Baikal went inside the building first and confronted the commander, and I didn't even intend to let Judas in.

“I don't want to go over that nonsense. If you have any questions, tell me now. ”

“That's difficult. ”

“Why?”

“I'm a little sensitive. They cover their faces.”

The opponent's reason was audacious. The commander added another drink to it.

“If you have a lot of eyes to see, it's less likely. If I can't..... I have something to say. Hmm. Too bad. ”

I didn't have a pacifist, but somehow I felt a little desperate in it as if I only had a chance now.

While Edan and Baikal are silent, the commander turns the arrow of conversation to Judas.

“So I'd like to talk to you separately. Your Majesty.”

“What kind of compulsion is that? ”

“I will.”

The moment Baikal frowned and tried to pick up the impression, the fresh answer fell.

Judas simply wedges his hands at the servants who look back with trembling eyes to see if they heard it wrong.

“At the same time, I have a story to tell. ”

“Your Majesty!"

Terrified cries burst out, but Judas was already stepping into the building.

As such, the commander and the two of them could not face each other, so a decisive order fell on the ears of the two men who were rushing in.

“Edan, Baikal. You wait here for a while. ”

“I can't do that. ”

The same was true of those who stood as hastily as the commander of the Lord's Army.

“We are your rapporteurs. We cannot defend a situation that could threaten His Majesty's security. ”

Baikal took their mission seriously, as I don't know.

If you are a knight, apart from being a special spiritual master contracted by Judas with the King of Spirits, of course you must protect the Lord's side. This is because the risk does not come within the predicted range. After peering at their strong will, Judas gently shakes his head.

“Well, I don't mean to leave my job. But I have something to hear from him, too. ”

“I have something to listen to. ”

“Yes. Wigdrasil will be here soon, noticing the power of the Command anyway. We don't have much time. ”

Commands flashing red in the darkness were not noble, but evil beings with the energy of death.

The Saint will recognize this energy shortly. Edan's energy, which was like iron, faded slightly.

“…… Forgive me for not disobeying His Majesty's command, even though I know it is a risk. ”

“I trust your point. Thank you for doing what you wanted. ”

“Haah.”

In the first place, they believed Judas would make steak out of peas.

After a sigh, Judas smiles at Ethan and Baikal, who eventually follow orders.

“Well, let's get going. ”

“…… Got it. ”

They lowered their heads and stood in the Batu building in a position to jump right in if they were even a little surprised.

With those two men standing at the door, Judas entered the old building alone.

Moi, Tak.

No one pushed him, but as soon as he walked in, the door closed by itself.

The number of commanders flashing red in the darkness was more than a dozen, despite pretending. They've been starving for a long time, but they can't rush to Judas in front of them.

Even as he approached, he stepped back slightly.

Judas climbs up to the empty auditorium past a long chair filled with Baglevagle commands. Under the great cross lay a boy like a sinner.

“We finally met. ”

The boy welcomed him as if he had waited.

“I wasn't expecting much, actually. I didn't know you were coming. ”

“Ray's responding to your energy. ”

When he heard the name Raya, the boy shut his mouth, and the uncomfortable silence surrounded the auditorium.

Judas swallows a bitter laugh and calls his opponent's name.

“Halder.”

It was the last remaining kite of the past.

Halder lost his purpose after Raya's soul was bound by the sword and Frid's disappearance. The rest of the world was like a black and white painting without any color. I felt like eating only the white peel of watermelon without sweetness, saltiness or bitterness.

And finally, Halder remembered the only living moving light in the dead world.

The boy, who was always calmly and insensitively moving, ran to find the light without covering his back and forth.

“You were right. Mr. Igrett.”

“You didn't call me that on purpose. ”

“You're not the one who's running around like I call you. ”

“Why?”

Looking straight at Judas, who was buried, Halder blinked at him with a daze.

Judas, who approached directly in front of the boy, looked straight down at him and asked again.

“Why do you think so? ”

“You are..... ”

In Halder's memory, "igrette" always did. I wasn't sure that the kids would run away from what they were doing just because they needed him. Because.

“For you, nothing can be a priority. ”

Halder laughed. It was neither grudging nor grudging.

"Igret" was such an existence. No one can take precedence over him and nothing can be special.

It was fair to be loved, but as the sun sprinkled evenly. Why does man not give heaven more light? It was as natural as it could be.

“It's the first time.”

“ ……? ”

“You never called me. ”

The golden eyes quietly stare at the opponent.

Halder was stunned and flawed at the moment. There was a subtle feeling in it, like a mother dog who had been bitten by her child for the first time.

“What?”

“You don't find them first, even when you're together. So I didn't know you needed me. I wish I had noticed that much at the time. ”

Unfortunately, at the time, he thought very simply about the children he had achieved.

I'll find him if I have to, just like everyone else who's come after his power.

But that was an illusion. Children always needed adults to take care of them, even if they didn't say it out loud.

It was as if a small, ivy sprout needed sunlight, and I just wished that he would be there. Misunderstandings grew due to the lack of communication between them, and eventually there was a big crack between them.

Judas smiles softly, thinking of something in a piece of memory.

“Among them, you were always a good boy at everything. Halder, I didn't cry like Raya, I didn't cry like Frid, I didn't get angry like Frid. So I said," Okay. ”

There was a story that didn't ask, but Halder listened to him quietly.

“Well, I thought you'd be okay. Because you were doing great on your own. ”

A child who is always polite and smiles well, who doesn't cry easily or get angry. That was the little Halder he rescued from hell.

But no one knew how hard it was for him to be polite and smile so well.

“I'm sorry. I didn't know. ”

Halder, who inadvertently received an apology, crossed his arms on the cross.

If it was really a young boy, there was no reason to shake it now, just as it used to be.

“You really are someone else. Your Majesty Judas."

Halder referred to him as his present name instead of his old name. It was only a short time ago that I found out who it was, but no matter how much I thought about it, there were too many different things about the old Igrette.

Since I was reborn, I couldn't help but feel the imperial blood.

“I'll ask you again. Why did you find me? ”

“Well, if you just came by, would you believe me? ”

I laughed for a reason. The smile on his face was limitless and dark. It was like a sigh flowing like a thread.

Judas smiles quietly, and Halder laughs.

“You see, you're not gonna believe it. ”

“You look exhausted. ”

“Yes, I'm tired. That's why I found you. ”

Halder stated the purpose of coming to him without further delay.

“To ask you to end this miserable life with your own hands. ”

“Huh, you're bluffing. You came here to die? ”

“He who contracts with the Command cannot break his breath alone. Isn't the same for spiritists? ”

Spirits and spirits have a common tendency to be obsessed with their contractors.

Of course, the reason was different. Firstly, the Spirit shares emotions with the contractor with a strong attachment and bond.

That is why I want to keep the contractor unconditionally as long as the ability is allowed.

On the other hand, the commander is aiming for the soul of the contractor. In accordance with the obligations of performance of the Contract, the Command protects the Contractor from death to the fullest extent possible.

And the moment the contract is fulfilled, or the contractor fails to perform the contract, the commander extorts his soul like a hawk aiming for food.

In any case, for each reason, the Spirit and the Command are bound to prevent the contractor from dying. So sorcerers cannot commit suicide or commit self-harm.

“Why are you trying to die now? I didn't sign a contract with the Command because you had a purpose to fulfill. That's why Raya even made him a commander. ”

“There's something wrong with you. We didn't force it to do that. Raya chose to be her own commander. ”

It was different from Judas' expectation.

“She always wanted to help us. ”

Halder took his back off the cross. He spoke with an awkward face, like a sinner who escaped from punishment.

“He said he could do anything, especially to get you back. You know how obsessed Raya was with family. ”

The girl who was a slave wanted to have a toxic family. Frid twists her heart to want to be loved and finally decides for the first time to deviate.

On that day, however, the child lost the sky.

“After you disappeared, he spoke like a mouthpiece. I want to go back to the old days. Maybe it was Ray who was the most desperate of us. ”

“ ……. ”

“How was it? The raya you met. ”

‘I was wrong.'

Judas remembered exactly what Raya was like at the end. The girl's thin voice touched her ears like a dream. The girl who became the commander pleaded guilty as soon as she recognized him.

‘I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Really.’

‘Please don't hate me. ’

‘…… Thank you for finding me again. ’

Suddenly, I felt a corner of my heart. It felt like the heat was boiling, and on the contrary, it was freezing cold.

Judas, who became unable to endure that strange sensation, closed his eyes.
