Chapter 58.0

Uroboros gave a belated answer. Gerald waited for Uroboros, but he had not given him an answer.

[That means I can erase the traces, Gerald.]

He felt his insides shudder.

“Will you please say it in detail?”

[As you say, I can erase the traces, too. Leaving a trail is like a curse. It’s to complete the curse through blood. The disease called Nisephor is a curse on my brother’s blood and the same thing flows in my blood.]

Gerald held his breath.

“Is it possible to erase the traces right now?”

[No. How I wish it were that easy. The curse is not so simple. It takes much restriction to use the magic of time, but I have something to propose?]

“Tell me what the conditions are.”

[You took my blood, right? Refine it and let the woman drink it. Then the curse will go wild. It will become a disease that will destroy the curse.]

“If I do it wrong, her life could be in danger.”

[Of course. If you do something wrong, my brother will eat up your soul. Even now, I can see his tongue sticking out and smacking his lips.]

Gerald gnashed his teeth.

He didn’t want to hear this. Gerald needed a way to save Louella perfectly.

[I would swallow the soul before my brother swallows it]

“What the hell are you talking about?”

After all, was the black Uroboros after Louella? But contrary to his thoughts, his blood cooled down.

[Don’t misunderstand. I’m on your side. No, you should be on my side. I’ll take out the curse and return your lover. However, you need to buy time, give her blood and then give her medicine as well. Then my brother won’t be able to do anything to her yet. My brother can only influence a soul that has completely left the body. Humans are creatures that I made. I can’t touch it myself.]

Uroboros giggled, saying, “Isn’t that the sorrow of half God?”

Gerald blinked.

After all, everything is incomplete. The illusion arose, two snakes flew toward Louella with their jaws open.

Gerald smiled in vain.

Louella was forced to use such a method by Gerald. Would the White Uroboros have been after Louella if it wasn’t for Gerald?

“Are you sure? Are you sure you can heal her?”

[Life is a probability, Gerald. 50-50. Here’s what I’m sure of, I don’t want to lose to my brother anymore.]

The voice of Uroboros, who uttered these words, rang loudly in his ears.

[I won’t give up any of mine.]

Gerald closed his eyes tightly.

Damn it.

What the hell did Logan do wrong to be so mean to you? The secret of Nisephor seemed to smash Gerald’s soul into pieces.

In the end, Gerald killed him.

Louella and her kids!

[My blood is poisonous, Gerald. Only if the poison is removed, will the woman be able to drink.]

Gerald gave a smile. “I don’t really like this.”

[Isn’t it better than nothing? That’s what I think is better.]

“I don’t gamble with Louella’s life.”

All opportunities have been laid out. If he loses Louella again, Gerald really had to let her go.

And he didn’t want to. He wanted her. He wanted her in his arms.

“That was so kind of you all of a sudden.”

[Feeling good. I don’t know how long it’s been since I came out like this.]

And it was sad. Logan was just trying to protect justice. The result was being played by fate and love.

Gerald will collapse after the loss of Louella. God, the creator who created them, didn’t want to see it.

Gerald deserved to be happy. It was a courtesy to those who turned time three times and reached the present time.

[It means I’ll protect you]

Black Uroboros smiled.

For those who were victims of the battle of the gods, the Black Uroboros made another promise.

Even if he loses this fight, he will protect them, the humans under him.

Gerald didn’t notice that the Uroboros bracelet was shining in a strange light.

“If Louella ever dies… If that happens again… Promise me one thing.”

[…….]

“Take my life and save Louella. Promise me that.”

Black Uroboros laughed. His love was so desperate, affectionate, and lovely.

Black Uroboros whispered. [I promise]

He really wanted to see those two standing and smiling together.

“Did you find the mechanism?”

Billiers shook his head.

“What kind of blood did you bring? I’ve never seen anything like this before. Hundreds of splits in a second. I dare not catch up.”

Billiers put the bottle down.

Obviously, what he brought to Billiers was a small bottle, but now he was filling the bucket.

“Can you remove the toxicity from that blood? For people to drink.”

“You always make difficult demands. What kind of monster’s blood is that?”

“The key to Nisephor.”

Billiers stared at Gerald with a mysterious gaze. He gave up trying to understand Gerald.

But Gerald felt more and more distant. It felt like he was heading on an unknown path. He didn’t know what the hell had led Gerald down that path.

“Who’s going to drink it? Louella?”

Gerald looked up and looked at Billiers with grim eyes.

“The only thing you’re going to hang on to with Louella is because of this. Aren’t you tagging along with me to cure her illness?”

“Billiers.”

“You know the future, don’t you?” Billiers asked cautiously.

“Is Louella going to die there?” Gerald smirked.

Second. Now there’s only one last chance. He didn’t think he was being sloppy.

“You must be very interested in me.”

“I’m always desperate. What the hell are you hanging on to? There was always Louella at the end of your gaze each time.”

“I’ll do anything to save her.”

It was the answer. After all, everything was related to Louella. It was all for Louella.

Billiers sighed.

“What about you?”

“What does that mean??”

“And your life? Who’s going to help you?”

Gerald laughed as if he was listening to all sorts of nonsense.

“It doesn’t matter, Billiers. My world is Louella. If she dies, I’ll die, too. It’s an absolute thing, nothing more, nothing less.”

He smiled, “Maybe I’m actually doing it for myself.” Gerald confided his innermost thoughts to Billiers. “Don’t you think?”

“Does Louella know?”

“She shouldn’t know. I can’t even say it.”

Louella didn’t need to know this misfortune. Why should Louella know about her unfortunate death?

Why should Louella tremble for fear of having a deadly disease? Gerald didn’t want to hand over any hard work to Louella.

So all this suffering should only be Gerald’s.

“Louella is not a weak woman.”

“I know.”

But Gerald saw that strength crumble into pieces.

‘My baby is dead?’

He saw the smile that had broken in vain.

‘My baby is dead.’

He saw the glare in which the light had been gone. He never wanted to go through that again. Gerald wanted to protect Louella’s world.

“I’ll try to get the poison out of the blood. But it won’t be easy.”

“I know. Just let me know when it’s done. Oh, did you hear that?” Billiers paused as he eyed Gerald.

“The Duke says he’s awake.”

Billiers opened his eyes wide.

“What are the aftereffects?” Gerald asked.

“Nothing at all. He’s physically well. Like a man who has never been ill.”

Billiers smiled brightly. After all, he succeeded.

Although, he got help from his teacher, of course!

“The monkey pool must have worked very well! Teacher Yuniel was right!”

“I know. I’m so glad.”

That eliminated about one of Louella’s misfortunes. Gerald smirked.

Louella, who burst into tears like a child, came to mind. He wanted her to laugh now. He just wanted her to laugh.

By his side if possible.

The bustling mansion fell into silence. It’s time for people to go back to their own homes.

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Of course. I’m sorry to have worried you, Mercé.”

Mercé held Arthur’s hand and murmured.

“God helped me. I’m so glad.”

Arthur embraced Mercé’s trembling shoulders.

“Mercé.”

Arthur kissed Mercé on the forehead. He was afraid to close his eyes because he was worried about his wife who would be left alone.

He promised to make her happy.

“Mercé, who came all the way here from Turantot wearing a red veil, will only make you laugh.”

At first, it was a political marriage between two powerful families.

The present king had established diplomatic relations with the kingdoms through a marriage alliance. Mercé was also thrown into a political marriage as the royal daughter of Turantot.

Arthur had picked up Mercé himself. It was only Yuniel and a couple of maids who came with Mercé.

Mercé had left her country with them.
