{Those Who Know the Truth}

At that, Theodore also smiled slightly.

“But even as a son, I can’t allow my father to be abused like that.”

Theodore Skylord is the heir to the Duke of Skylord.

And Theodore Skylord was the son of the Duke and Duchess of Skylord.

“Poem, Theodore…”

Understanding what he meant, Ceres called her back with her anxious gaze, but Theodore glared at her coldly again.

And Elliot, who was standing next to her, also glared.

“Let me be clear. Duke Artin, Duchess Artin. Everything you say you’re sorry for is a blatant lie, and even if it contains some sincerity, it’s just trash I don’t want to hear.”

“Uh, how could you say that…”

Elliot was looking at Theodore with her shocked face.

He didn’t seem to have thought of being rejected this far.

Did he think that since he was his own father, he would be forgiven no matter how much he resents him?

He could only say that if he thought so, he was very comfortable with his own way.

It was a subject that had no power to influence the world.

“The decisive reason why you regard William as the Chosen One and only care about him and not about Theodore Artin is that, as you yourself have said, you are blinded by glory.”

“Yes, yes. I admit that. But…”

Elliot tried to make an excuse again, but Theodore forcibly suppressed it with magic.

Because if I left my mouth open, the useless excuses would make the story longer, and it could have flowed in a strange direction.

Then Theodore, who had silenced him, went on.

“And now you want Theodore Artin back for two reasons. The first is that you don’t want to look ugly.”

Theodore has already concluded why they are looking for Theodore Artin so late.

They really felt sorry for Theodore Artin, they weren’t looking for atonement.

“It was widely known that they did not discriminate against their children and did not treat them as human beings, and they were criticized accordingly, so they were embarrassed that their ugliness was exposed to the world, so they just tried to find a way to get rid of it.”

The biggest purpose was to cover it up because they were ashamed of their mistakes being widely known.

“That’s not right…”

Ceres, who was still silent, shook his head in a low voice.

However, it was clear from Theodore’s words that she was also stabbed by her inability to rebut her vigorously.

She should have known it herself, but after her child left, she was engrossed in her pitiful self who accepted her mistakes and regretted them, and accepted them by distorting them as the truth.

“Parents of the glorious elect. You, who were engrossed in the glory, only cared about which one of your two children could give you honor, and you who thought it was William, thought that it would not give you the honor. He didn’t even pay any attention to the door and threw it away.”

Theodore gradually felt that it was time to end the play of the actors gathered on this stage.

It was time to put a wedge between the two of them.

“Everyone envied and admired you. The parents of the chosen one who would save the world from the end of the world. They envied that glory, and you actually had your status as a duke from the beginning, but you know that everything has been upgraded more than before. You could feel it.”

Among the magic, there was an upgrade magic.

As an auxiliary magic that increases the power of magic, it was a power that could be used by archmages who specialized in offensive magic.

And just as the upgrade magic was used for attack magic, the status of the Duke of Artin at that time was incomparable to what it is now, and there really was no momentum to pierce the sky.

“Yeah, but…”

“However, as Theodore disappeared, your true nature was revealed, and your ugly side was revealed to everyone. That’s why you desperately searched for Theodore to hide your ugly side. Just your own ugly side. I needed it as a tool to hide it. Oh, and over time, William’s true color was revealed.”

William Artin.

Theodore said, thinking of his foolish, foolish, blood-like twin brother who was not here.

“William Artine’s appearance as a filth crawling on the ground, and the fact that he was unable to show the brilliant image of the chosen one as if he were standing on a cloud made you more desperate.”

William Artin If he had been the chosen one, it was clear that they would not have searched for Theodore Artin anxiously.

William Artin’s presence alone would have earned him enough glory.

Also, Theodore Artin would have been buried by the presence of William Artin, and the people of the world would have been enthusiastic about the chosen one, but not interested in his sacrificed brother.

If that were the case, of course the Duke of Artin wouldn’t have had to pay attention to Theodore Artin either.

The Duke and Duchess of Artin would have easily erased Theodore Artin.

“It turns out that Theodore Artin is the real Chosen One, right? William, for instance, can’t use the powers he would have if he were the Chosen One.”

Theodore once again demonstrated lightly manipulating the space.

He showed a space of about 1 meter in front of him, twisted here and there, messed up, and then restored at once.

He has the ability to manipulate time, but the ability to manipulate space was easier to show everyone than that.

He also couldn’t ignore the power of visual effects.

Because seeing and feeling the mess in space leaves a strong impression on both those with power and those without.

“So, for the honor of holding the Chosen One in the Duke of Artin, you desperately sought Theodore Artin. In order to erase your own stains and enjoy greater glory.”

When they said that they had visited Theodore Artin out of a desire to continue enjoying the glory of the chosen one, the faces of Elliott and Ceres turned pale as if they were going to die any moment.

In such a situation, Theodore declared to Eliot and Ceres.

“Your vain desires will never succeed. The chosen one belongs to the Duke of Skylord, not the Duke of Artin.”

“Ah.”

Ceres couldn’t even refute it and just sat down and groaned in a daze.

I couldn’t come up with anything to refute, and I was in shock when I faced the essence of myself that I had been ignoring.

And with her mouth free again, Elliot tried to say something of her to Theodore, but it was clear that he was speechless because the words didn’t come out.

“Theodore…please…”

“Dad, I told you to stop.”

Raina grabbed Elliot’s arm and tried to dissuade him from calling Theodore again.

But at that moment, Elliot lost her temper and acted abruptly.

She screamed as she violently shook her arm.

“Do not disturb!”

“Wow!”

As a result of being so rough, Reina almost fell backwards with her screams.

At this rate, she could fall backwards and get hurt.

From noble mtl dot com

No, judging from the angle of her fall, it was clear that she would get really badly hurt by hitting her head first on the floor.

‘Reina!’

Theodore manipulated the time around him to flow slowly and quickly moved behind Reina.

And after taking her from behind her, I turned her time flow back to normal.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, brother Theodore…Thank you.”

Reina, who was hugged and supported by Theodore, thanked him by calling him with her slightly pitiful voice.

“This… this…”

Elliott was stuttering her words, as if she was surprised herself by what she had done.

Ceres too was surprised by the sight.

‘A normal parent would have started worrying here.’

But they were just panicking.

And Reina must have felt this as well, her face stained with pain.

She would have believed that since they were still her biological parents, Theodore had left, she was at least trying to give herself affection.

However, the feeling of betrayal that she now felt was so great that most people couldn’t understand it.

‘As expected, I can’t leave it anymore.’

Theodore decided to reach out his hand to Reina’s body temperature this time.

Just as 11 years ago, the Duchess of Skyroad held out her hand to her and accepted her into her family, now it was his turn to do the same to Reina.
