Chapter 327: Destiny (1/2)
Project Erinyes was about to be co system, but Emilia still didn’t rest Countless artifacts were added into the systee and abilities of this world were contained in the systeineered inventions were added into Erinyes
“Rest a while, Emilia”
I iive Ee of the final step I selected 20 ender and placed them into [Syste, or a curse… I have no idea”
Observing thes They had a future… someday A new life would unfold for these people when the 300 lords and 299700 warriors from the other world arrive However, they had to lose all of their memories of their current lives Moreover, I could not promise them that the future would hold a better prospect than their present
“Likely a curse”
I valued iven the opportunity to enter Erinyes, I would’ve abandoned the future After all, happy memories could be found even in those days when I was exiled with my mother
I even cherished the memories of when my father – Saturnus, that damned bastard – sent me to the Tundria teht the barbarians The chills, anxiety, fear and thrill of my first ever battle, the sense of achieveed my survival, the half-rotten piece of meat that I ate voraciously on the brink of starvation
“Die!”
And that spark of joy when I finally sliced Saturnus’ head off That feeling was simply irreplaceable
Moreover
“Your Imperial Majesty!”
“As expected from Your Ies loyalty to Your Imperial Majesty!”
My subjects and,
“Dear!”
My most beloved woman
“Daddy~! Daddyyy~!”
Our precious daughter as well I lacked the confidence to live on without these memories I didn’t want to in the first place Who cares about the future, truly?
“Hu” I let out a long sigh “What an agonizing task”
Indeed, the selection process was not easy Ast the selected candidates, there was bound to be people who shared my opinion
“Is it done?” Emilia asked when the selection process was about to coled to reply to her question The last candidate remained
“I see”
“”
“It’s going to be tough, but please… try to get through it well”
“”
“It won’t be easy”
I did not reply to Emilia’s consolation No, I couldn’t
Grasp!
I tightened both fists
Grit!
And clenched my teeth
das out Who the hell created such a fucked-up situation? God? Yes, it rab hinagas
“Let’s go”
However, I suppressed an to make my way I had no choice All I could do was put the final selected candidate into [Systehter”
“N-No! I don’t want to!”
“”
“I want to stay with o to sleep! No! I don’t want to!”
My daughter My lovely daughter The most beautiful, lovely, kind andat o She wanted to stay withto shatter into a hter… you are n”
“No!”
“!”
“I don’t want to be a nice daughter anymore! Never!”
That was Arshelly’s first and final rebellion, the very last time I could see Arshelly show these kinds of emotions
“Father… daddy…! I don’t want…! Sob… sob-sob… P-please, don’t leave me alone…! I don’t want to sleep…! I want to stay by your side… Please? I will be a good child Arshelly will behave, so please?”
It was getting hard to watch Word after word, Arshelly’s voice wasmy heart ache
Was there any moment… more painful… than this…?
Just one, perhaps, when my mother died in Saturnus’ hands That experience was as devastating as this
“Daddy… mommy…!”
When Arshelly realized that I couldn’t be persuaded, she began to plead withto hold her tears in She was sobbing silently Of course, she was in as ony as I was
“Mommy… I don’t want to… I want to stay by your side forever… sob… sob sob”
Arshelly refused to give up
“I-If I an to tear up “What do I do? If I miss you two, how can I endure…?”
At that moment
Brrrr…! I felt an emotion that could not be described in words I couldn’t take it anyhter’s pleas, o down the drain
No, it definitely would
“Arshelly”
With that, I stretched ! As I held Arshelly tightly in hter’s biological activity to rest
“D-Daddy…!”
