Chapter 47: Chapter 47 - Is Thalia becoming a Yandere!!??
<Thalia's Dream>
In the midst of peaceful slumber, I found myself in a dream. The world around me transformed into a scene from my childhood. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
I was just a little kid of eight, and my brother Alexios, fifteen, sat across from me at a small wooden table, a chessboard between us.
A mischievous grin spread across my face as I moved my pawn forward confidently. "Checkmate in five moves, Alexios," I declared, my chest swelling with pride, just like the old days.
My brother chuckled, his eyes filled with amusement as he examined the chessboard. "You've got quite the mind for this game, Thalia," he praised, his encouraging words warming my heart.
With all the confidence of a chess prodigy, I leaned back in my chair and boasted, "Of course, I do. I'm a chess genius."
Alexios laughed again, making his move while considering his options carefully. He was always patient and supportive, even in my dreams.
As the game progressed, I continued to make bold moves, predicting his every action.
He praised my intelligence and strategy, all while ensuring that I never fell into checkmate. It was clear that he was going easy on me, letting me bask in the joy of victory.
In the end, I secured a draw, and my heart swelled with pride. Alexios ruffled my hair affectionately, his fond smile etched in my memory even in my dreams.
"Great game, Thalia," he said, his words filled with love and warmth.
As I drifted deeper into my dream, I cherished the memory of those precious moments with my brother, even if it was all just a dream.
In the midst of peaceful slumber, my dream shifted suddenly, as if the calm waters of my childhood memories had been stirred by an approaching storm.
I found myself sitting in an ornate carriage beside my older brother, Alexios.
The atmosphere was filled with a sense of adventure as we traversed a scenic forest path. I turned to him with a playful gleam in my eyes.
"Alexios, let's take the long route today," I suggested, the excitement evident in my voice. "I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery."
He smiled indulgently, always ready to grant me my whims. "Of course, Thalia. We'll take the long way."
It seemed like an unfortunate fate shared by all characters in novels, including Thalia herself.
Her brother, I thought, recalling how he was portrayed as the smartest character in the entire novel. At least until "That Woman" appeared, but that's a tale for another time.
When it came to Thalia's brother, his intelligence seemed to diminish when he was with her. That was part of what led to his demise, or at least that's what I gathered.
From the beginning, he wasn't even from this world. He hailed from the Saint realm, which made calling him a "fallen angel" quite fitting.
He reincarnated into a human and was then thrown into the demon realm, where he became the right-hand man of Lady Amrantha Tenebri Noctilucis, the Demoness Queen and Lily's mother.
I sighed, knowing that I had some means of communication using Lily. If only she'd listen. The first thing that demon would do upon discovering my connection with Lily would be to wage war against the human realm.
If she didn't listen to reason, she'd vaporize me. After all, she was the Demon Queen, and she commanded 1.7 billion demons. Just her army alone could flatten both the Saint realm and the human realm.
Yet, the Saint realm had its own guardians, and the human realm had its seven beings. Unfortunately, they were all bound by restrictions, making them unable to do much. The same applied to the Saint realm.
The Demoness lady didn't attack because she understood that cornering her opponents would lead to a devastating battle, one that would obliterate all three realms. That was the last thing anyone wanted.
My head throbbed with these complicated thoughts. Knowing everything had its downsides, and right now, it was giving me a splitting headache.
So, I tried to focus on where I was now – Thalia's room. Her brother, that is...
"Brother... haaa... haaa,"
I heard her voice, and I decided to pretend to be asleep so she wouldn't become agitated.
But as she touched my cheek and said those words, an undeniable feeling washed over me. Those whispered words reverberated in my mind, and only one thought occupied my thoughts: 'This time I am really screwed.'
