I Will Become The Final Villain - Episode 136
Episode 136
I feel a bit relieved now. When Theodore, who had completed his minor revenge on the emperor, stood up, Ricardo also jumped up. Since it might be difficult to see him again after this time, he wanted to say what he wanted to say the whole time.
He bowed deeply towards Theodore.
“… “I’m truly sorry.”
Theodore, who was quietly watching the scene, asked.
“What do you mean?”
Ricardo hesitated to answer. Seeing him looking embarrassed, Theodore asked again.
“Shuian said so. I must not mistake sins that are not my share as mine. So let me ask again. “What do you mean you’re sorry?”
This was what he said when he knew that the Empress was trying to apologize for even her share of what she had done. Riccardo bit her lip to hold back tears and then answered.
“… “I tolerated my mother’s evil deeds.”
“Do you have the ability to stop it?”
Ricardo eventually burst out laughing at the not-so-hateful sarcasm. Because the corners of his eyes were bent, a single tear fell down.
“Then I said something harsh to you a while ago.”
“Yes, I accept that apology. It’s okay if I don’t apologize. “Isn’t it because your brother started the argument first?”
Ricardo laughed again.
“okay. and… thanks. “For giving me a chance.”
“What? “This is a fight I will win anyway.”
“know. Still, thank you. Because giving a chance is not easy.”
“Yes, thanks to my bird, I’m trying to at least imitate a decent person.”
No problem. Shui An’s words that he would lead me to the right path were not wrong at all. Ricardo said with a smile. It was because there was a face that appeared in Theodore’s words.
“… I also have someone like that. I believe she will lead me to a better place. So, just wait a little longer. “I won’t disappoint you.”
It would be right to repay the person who gave you the opportunity. Theodore laughed at Ricardo’s promise and left.
Now it was time to go meet his bird.
***
Before opening the bedroom door, Theodore straightened his clothes one last time. It seemed like Shui An, who had been sleeping soundly the whole time, had woken up. Strangely enough, I had that intuition.
And when I opened the bedroom door and went in. It wasn’t until I met the friendly yet calm gaze directed at me. I could see that my intuition was perfectly correct.
Theodore approached his lover, who had been waiting the whole time, and asked him the same question as usual.
“Did you sleep well?”
“huh.”
Then, I embraced the warmth in my arms. I was so filled with the affectionate movement of hugging each other.
“I had a very happy dream.”
“What dream?”
“A dream with Theo and me.”
“Because of how it was.”
Shuian quietly dreamed.
“hmm… It was a little strange. Except for the fact that he had black hair and red eyes, his name, appearance, and personality were all slightly different. But strangely, every time I saw it, I fell in love with it. Theo, you always loved me, whether you remember me or not. “Isn’t it funny?”
Like a puzzle piece that was created that way in the first place. That blindness that only exists for each other. No other lovers in the world would be as unusual as this.
Theodore looked puzzled, but Shuian did not explain further and just laughed as if it was fun.
“I have so much I want to say, I don’t know where to start.”
“Then shall we eat first? “Because I slept for a long time.”
Theodore also had many questions, but Shuian’s health came first. His polarity did not change even after learning that Shui An was the mythical Dux. Theodore immediately pulled the rope and prepared dinner.
***
Theo, who had as many questions as I did, carefully prepared meals and desserts for me. Should I say that I have great patience, or should I say that I have the utmost sincerity? . Maybe it’s both.
Anyway, after confirming that I had eaten enough, I was finally able to start a conversation with Theo, who was satisfied. With my stomach full and full, I gathered myself together and told Theo about his identity first. After hearing all the stories he had heard from Ignis in the world of images, Theo looked very dazed.
“I… “Artes?”
“Yes, Ignis is Theo’s father.”
Of course, as a member of the royal family, he would have been sick of mythology, and even if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have known a famous god like Ignis. It was added for emphasis.
“I did not inherit the strongest blood from Artes, but was simply reincarnated.”
I said jokingly to Theo, who still looked dazed.
“Now that you think about it, do you remember when you asked me if I would go if Artes calls me? “Theo was jealous of Theo.”
“… “That was an ugly sound.”
Even though I was embarrassed, I found it amusing that he accepted my joke, so I giggled and told him the most important truth.
“My godfather said that almost all the lost gods and eternal life have been found. If you receive it, your memories will soon return, just like mine. From now on, there is no need to suffer through reincarnation anymore.”
You will soon be able to go to the divine realm that you hated to spend so much time with me! I tried to lighten the mood by telling a joke, but Theo, who was just listening, asked a question instead of answering.
“So, did you continue to wait for me even after my repeated deaths?”
It seems that Theo was most curious about me more than anything else. I nodded.
“huh.”
“… How could I bear it because I was lonely? “I missed you so much even the day you were asleep, and every moment I waited for you to come back quickly.”
I knew it would be like this. I had already expected that if I told you this, you would start worrying about me. No matter how many lives he lived, I was the only one Theo cared about and loved the most.
It would have been humiliating to lose one’s power as a god, go through repeated reincarnations, and live like a human being, but at times, like the life of ‘Theodore’, he even lived a life of continuous persecution and hardship. Even I, who was just watching, would be embarrassed if I were a human being, so I wonder what it must have been like for him, the person involved. But he was always worried about me having to endure time alone.
I answered bravely. With utmost sincerity.
“Yeah, but it was okay. I told you. I can go wherever I want. But I know Theo is waiting at the end of the road, so is there any reason I can’t go?”
No matter how far it was, I was willing to go anywhere for the person who would wait at the end of the road. Since the place I would return to was my true destination, it was not difficult for me to travel several times.
Theo looked at me for a long time, as if I was someone who was so loving and affectionate that he didn’t know what to do, and then lowered his lips to my forehead. I spoke to him as if comforting him.
“And now we don’t have to break up. “That’s enough.”
“… Okay, let’s not break up from now on.”
I never thought there would come a day when we wouldn’t have to break up… It all felt like a dream to the point where I often wondered if it was real.
Then a sudden thought occurred to me and I jumped up from my seat.
“That’s right, Theo! “Let’s go for a walk!”
“now?”
“Yes, there is something I want to show you.”
I grabbed Theo’s hand, who was confused, and led him out into the garden. Then it turned into a huge eagle. Unlike before, Theo’s eye level rose significantly and Theo looked tiny. It was like that last time too. It’s as cute now as it was then. As a joke, I tapped it with its beak, and Theo stroked its beak.
“This is your true self. “It’s even prettier when I see it again.”
‘Yes, but my divine power is still recovering, so I can’t stay like this for long. So hurry up and get in.’
“Get in?”
‘hurry!’
At my hasty urging, Theo got on my back first, even though no explanation was given. After confirming that he was stable, I flew straight into the sky.
What I wanted to show was the sky I love next to Theo. I raised the altitude just enough to not put a strain on Theo’s body and flew slowly so that he could enjoy the sights.
‘Look at this! This is the scene I see every day. Pretty, right? The lower days are cooler. So next time, let’s go out for a walk during the day.’
“okay.”
Theo looked around curiously and said with a smile on his face.
“I understand why you said your favorite sky is the sky.”
‘Yes, but he’s worse than Theo.’
“No problem. “That’s natural.”
The two of us burst into laughter at the same time as if we were salty at the playful retort.
After looking at the sky for a while, we returned to the garden. It would have been nice to see more, but unfortunately, this was the best I could do with my current state.
Theo came down from my body and stroked my beak again.
“Thank you for showing me something precious.”
‘If you’re thankful, Theo will now give you a hug!’
I returned to the form of a small eagle. Theo held my body in his arms and smiled softly.
“Hmm, okay. “Then where should I be taken?”
“Beep beep-.”
I laughed and squealed as I walked slowly. She quietly surrendered herself to him, knowing that wherever he took her, he would please me beyond measure.
I suddenly looked up at a friendly smiling face. The face of a lover I met after returning for such a long time. They say that the harder it is to get it, the more valuable it is. Wasn’t it really hard to get it?
“Then, shall we go to the glass greenhouse for the first time in a while?”
“Beep-!”
After traveling a very long way, I was finally able to find my lover again, and it was complete happiness.
