The Most Powerful Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me

After that, Aceras couldn’t remember what he did at the ballroom.

The whole thing was confusing.

The soul that had reached its limit could no longer endure the inner pain.

He could hear a voice over and over again.

《Have to kill her.》

《Must kill Dalia Pesteros.》

If it is a power that cannot be obtained, it is right to not let others obtain it as well.

He could not believe in Dalia’s mercy.

She knows it too.

She knows he almost killed the former Duchess Blueport.

From that moment on, everything was already irreversible.

It was obvious what she was thinking.

After suggesting a good facade of mercy, she will just wait for him to surrender all his weapons and surrender himself to death.

‘Did she think I would fall for such a shallow trick?’

Aceras sneered.

So what should he do now?

He can’t think of anything.

Dalia Pesteros must be killed, and Cedric Vercelona and Michelio II must also be killed.

The Emperor, the Empress, Hikan Pesteros, Adrisha Beniter too…….

Just like that, everyone…….

Kill everyone…….

《After that?》

Only emptiness remains.

Holding onto an empty body and sinking into the repeated past…….

Memories that did not exist……tormented him……

* * *

When he came to his senses, he was sitting in the conference room. The opposing side has not entered yet.

‘Lewayne Blueport will be here as the negotiator.’

Lewayne was a strange one.

He always outdoes him as if he sees the future.

Aceras wanted to ask him. If he knows the future, what will happen to him. Even though he knew there was no way he would get an answer.

“Your Holiness, is there something wrong? You look unwell.”

A gray-haired young man next to him was watching him anxiously.

Aceras finally remembered the young man’s name.

“Yuri.”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

“Shall we go back to the Holy Empire?”

After a while he realized what he had said.

He turned to his side.

The gray-haired young man called Yuri was looking at him with a very shocked expression.

“W, what do you m, mean, Your Holiness?”

“……No. It was a slip of the tongue.”

“We came this far only by following Your Holiness’ words, but if you say that…….besides, our comrades are fighting all over the Frederic Imperial Palace…….”

Reason slowly returned to Aceras.

That’s right.

Everything is already irreversible.

It’s already over since that time when holy power was added to the former Duchess Blueport’s champagne.

Aceras’ eyes sank to a dark green.

“I see. I said the wrong thing.”

“No, Your Holiness. I think you’re very confused.”

Aceras nodded. He spoke again after a while.

“……Is the former Duchess Blueport dead?”

“No.”

The reply came right away.

Aceras looked back at Yuri. He had a very distressed expression on his face.

“We could only kill a few guards. I guess she must have learned how to defend against holy power with magic. She was fine even when she was stabbed. We ran away because we thought there was nothing else we could do. More than half of us were caught.”

“……I see.”

“Thanks to that, we haven’t even killed Argel yet.”

Yuri grumbled.

Aceras felt a strange sense of relief. He doesn’t even know why.

‘I’m acting like I love Dalia Pesteros.’

Aceras let out a weak smile.

Love, what does love mean now?

He seems to have once loved someone in his vaguely rising memories.

But on second thought, it’s not love, it’s just a dirty desire.

Aceras believed that the essence of love was only that much.

“Your Holiness, I have something else to do. If there is nothing urgent, may I excuse myself?”

Aceras looked at Yuri.

Before, he would never have left his side in this situation.

As Aceras waver, so did his men. Loyalty is gone, leaving only aimless madness in its place.

All aware, he nodded.

“All right. You want to make sure you take care of Kelsion and Argel. Go ahead.”

Yuri smiled.

Aceras did not look at him for long.

Soon after, Yuri left. Now, he was the only one sitting in the conference room.

There was a line of followers guarding behind him, but no one spoke to him.

He waited for Lewayne to come.

The original plan was to launch a full-scale attack the moment the talks begin. Since the magic has been blocked, there was no choice but to go to hand-to-hand combat.

Aceras already knew that they were fighting against the troops in the rear. There will be a lot of victims, but it can’t be helped.

‘First of all, I have to make Lewayne run out of control.’

If one person starts to run amok, they will have no choice but to lose their vigilance by focusing on him.

‘I just need to aim for that time and deal with them one by one.’

Aceras absent-mindedly organized his plan step by step.

Originally, he was going to get Dalia Pesteros first, but now he doesn’t have to. The last measure of conscience was long gone.

“Aceras, give up everything and beg for forgiveness. Then I might change my mind.”

And yet the voice remained unusual and bothered him. He lowered his head and held his head.

Just then, the door opened and Lewayne entered.

“Forgive me for being late. There are some circumstances.”

“……It’s all right.”

Aceras said that and raised his head. He didn’t even have the energy to smile.

He opened and closed his hand. Then, a dagger made of holy power was created in his hand.

He looked up at Lewayne.

He could feel the wave of Cedric’s magic protecting his whole body.

Even though it was invisible to others, he was someone who had read the Emperor’s magic long ago and knew how to build a mental barrier against it.

With a couple of scans, he found a gap that Cedric’s magic did not reach.

It happened to be the back of his hand.

‘I can stab him once he gets closer.’

Aceras nonchalantly twirled his dagger under the table.

There was a very good opponent in front of him.

But Lewayne did not come close, and just stared at him without any expression at the door.

He spoke indifferently.

“I thought there was one more person.”

“He has other business to attend to.”

“This is different from the past. Things got twisted for the first time.”

It was an incomprehensible remark.

Lewayne continued in a somewhat bored voice.

“Then it’s a problem. Because she might be in danger even if you disappear.”

Aceras noticed an unusual sign in his words.

Their eyes met.

It was Lewayne who made the first move.

He rushed in like lightning and smashed Aceras’s head on the table in the conference room.

At the same time, Emperor Alexandro II, who opened the door and appeared, waved his hand. Then the escorts fell in unison.

Lewayne lowered his head and whispered in Aceras’ ear.

“It’s a shame that it’s late. Young Lady Dalia Pesteros said she wanted to save you.”

“……Ha.”

Those words angered Aceras.

He looked at Lewayne’s hand, which had been foolishly empty from hitting his head.

His voice was heard overhead.

“I did too. But it’s all too late.”

Aceras took out a dagger made of holy power hidden under the table and tried to stab the back of his hand.

But as he raised his dagger into the air, Lewayne’s voice pierced deep into his mind.

“Aceras.”

“…….”

“I will return your memory.”

And then Aceras…….
