Chapter 249

Separation

(TL: Yuri's thoughts . . . )

A foolish person . . . .

I laughed at him .

Why is he so pure and so stupid . . . not quite like royal family at all .

. . . That's why I targeted him to enter the royal family… because he was the most stupid one .

Anyway, he never had any real status in the royal palace .

I also destroyed the only way for him to be king .

Such as those approaching him, the only ones here now are those who have lost their status as well .

Attracted only at his blood .

The ground of the first prince is secured now . (TL: His foundation is firm, so no others can overthrow him)

I was able to seize the royal palace once, at the start . . . thinking about it now, it was surprising that everything went so smooth in the beginning .

Thinking about the throne now . . . the possibility that it would have fallen into wrong hands was not zero, but even if it is insulting, because we’re the ones creating that risk, I really hope it never happens .

I think… that he was an important idiot on story, but I also think that the old men he brought here are idiots .

. . . . . . No, I am the same as them .

Surely, Divan has abandoned me . He won’t come .

In the royal palace, the eyes of the first prince reach every corner, and there is no room for the Twil’s people to sneak into .

Because Twil’s spies have already been captured .

Under such circumstances, Divan will not waste his efforts on me .

He has more important things .

Still . . . I was hoping he would come to my rescue… but that possibility is zero

I am also a foolish person .

. . . . . . If they point their swords at me here, I’d have to die .

But it is also exciting to die now .

I'm really tired…

. . . . . . To live .

Even though, he . . . Edward got here to help me .

He prioritized me over his own safety .

His true feelings shook me .

No one helped me .

There was no one to protect me .

Everyone used me and left me .

My mother cried all those years over her lost love, hated that she couldn’t be with his love and never cared for me .

My dad also easily left my mother and me, and used me when convenient .

Divan raised me, gave me all the knowledge I needed to survive, but he too was one of those who approached me to use me and disposed of me after I was no longer deemed useful .

But, Edward . . . only him was true to me… only him was trying to protect me even after I no longer hold any value .

Why? . . . . . . Why couldn’t I distinguish who loved me? That is a stupid question now… .

He was always saying… "I love you . "

“Let’s always be together . " And that he wants to protect me . . .

Every time I heard those words, I became insane .

In my head it turned out to be "I will throw you away if you become useless” .

But it was different .

Because he put his words into action until his death .

The moment I realized that, I felt something warm flowing into my heart .

"Idiot . . . you really are an idiot"

That's why I laugh maniacally .

From my eyes, big drop of tears spill out .

I bend down and grabbed his hand that had fallen on the cold floor .

"Yes, that's right . "

He was breathless and pale, but joyfully smiling, . . . and he was exhausted .

" . . . really, a fool"

I squeezed his hand, which was heavy, and cold .

. . . And at the same time, suddenly, a woman who is not from this place appeared .

Edward’s followers were also surprised at that moment, as she appeared from the stone wall where there was no door .

"Good luck, Yuri Noir"

Ignoring their existence, the woman called out to me .

But I ignored her and hold on to Edward’s cold hands, which will never move again .

After sighing, the woman looked around the room .
