My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Brothers

"You can go ahead. I will meet up with you later," Eren told the girls, deciding to stay behind.

Zia led Xiu Ying and Yu Lin to the room assigned to them, leaving Eren behind.

Despite the complicated relationship between the Royal Family, Uriel was still an extremely important person. Not only was he the Holy Emperor's brother, but he also had incredible strength and an important role to play in the story of the Western Continent.

According to the original narrative of the Western Continent, the False Priestess was supposed to be captured by the Duke.

Uriel, who had been keeping a close eye on the Holy Church, discovered that a prisoner was being escorted to the Holy City. He then intervened and saved the False Priestess from captivity, in turn getting closer to her.

It was with the help of Uriel and a few others that the story of the False Priestess was able to progress.

Without realizing the original plot, Eren had already changed a significant plot point. While the False Priestess was supposed to be captured by the Duke, she was instead rescued by Aster due to Eren's interference.

As a result, Uriel's role was completely removed from the story, as his intended encounter with the False Priestess had been erased.

It was only when Eren consumed the Holy Emperor's memories that he came to understand how he had drastically changed the course of events in this timeline.

Instead of a single Great Elder serving as an envoy in the Holy City, there were now three. Even the Dragon Empress was present outside the Holy City. Aster and the False Priestess were also deeply involved in the events.

The plotlines of three separate novels had converged in the Western Continent, and Eren found himself at the very center of it all.

Only the Northern Continent was left out and Eren was glad about it. Three plot points were already hard to handle and he didn't want a fourth one at this point.

He didn't realize that the fourth plot point had already entered the Western Continent, bringing with it a lot of trouble for him.

"Shall we take a walk?" he asked Uriel, not wanting to be here when the Cardinal woke up. He didn't want to have to explain all the mess, leaving it for the Guard to explain.

He followed Eren to the balcony of the Royal Palace that was overlooking the entire Holy City. Even though it was late at night, the city was still brightly lit, creating beautiful and calming scenery.

"Even though so many years have passed, the city still looks the same." Uriel placed his hand on the railing, taking a deep breath of the fresh air.

He didn't even remember how long it had been since he had spent time with his brother like this. Most of the time, he felt angry at his brother for working with the Holy Priestess.

He knew that his brother had no choice but to work for the Holy Priestess as the Royal Family was extremely weak after their father's death. His actions were fully justified and even made sense to some extent b

He also knew that it was wrong for him to get angry at his brother who had his own troubles to think about. While he was thinking about the pride of the Royal Family, his brother was thinking about the existence of the Royal Family itself.

He had long known that he was in the wrong for blaming his brother only. Despite that, he still couldn't let go of his anger and disappointment. He knew that he was angry and disappointed at his own weakness which he was blaming his brother for.

Despite that, he couldn't get himself to acknowledge his brother's actions.

In silence, Eren observed the scenery. He didn't know how this city looked in Uriel's childhood so he couldn't comment.

He simply agreed with his brother. "Some things never change, but some things change more than we would like them to."

Uriel looked at his brother, who had a serene look on his face. He wondered if his brother was talking about him.

"Why did you do it? Why did you go against the Holy Priestess, only to propose to her later? Were you trying to make her angry?" he asked. "Do you really have a secret deal with the Eastern Overlord?"

"There is no deal," Eren answered. "The Eastern Overlord probably doesn't even know what's happening here."

"Then why? Why did you oppose the Holy Priestess? You are different from me. I don't care if I was killed, but if it's you...?"

Even though Uriel always wanted his brother to be brave, now that he actually saw his brother's bravery, he felt scared. He felt scared for his brother's safety.

"If I'm killed, then you can take the throne. Isn't that what you always wanted? Then you can run the Empire as you want. Finally, this Empire won't have an unworthy emperor like me," Eren said, his voice slightly breaking as if he was extremely emotional.

He didn't have the memories of the Holy Emperor but he had the memories that he had stolen from the Transmigrator which contained the contents of the book, at least to the point that he had read.

In the book, Uriel's emotions were explained more clearly than ever, especially after the Holy Emperor was killed by Xiu Ying.

From that point on, he had made up his mind to have revenge on the Holy Priestess, as well as the Eastern Continent.

With that, Eren knew exactly how to play the emotional card to make sure Uriel didn't doubt his identity.

"Stop with that absurd thought! Nothing will happen to you!" Uriel's voice grew louder as if he was almost scolding his brother for talking nonsense. "As long as I am alive, nothing will happen to you!"

Even though the two brothers had a lot of conflict in the past, deep down, they were always close. They just didn't know how to express their feelings until the moment the Holy Emperor died.

Now, Eren wanted to bring those feelings out without having to die.
