Chapter 263: Belated Regret

Belated Regret

Uhmm

Frey, whats that ring?

Master?

I had gained something unexpected.

Ah, its nothing.

The ring on my right hand was undoubtedly an oath ring. I could tell that from its design and how it accumulated mana.

Per my ancestors prophecy, this rare ring allowed me to give commands to those who have sworn loyalty to me.

As much as it was a powerful ring, obtaining it was challenging. One way was through Isolets route, which is notoriously tricky and must be completed before the second year.

Currently, I wasnt on Isolets route, and this ring, with the lowest probability of acquisition in the game, seemed unattainable. Yet, here it was.

Having it would make progressing in the game easier. But where did Isolet get such a cheat ring?

Right now its at Level 1?

I had just worn the ring, but I could already feel the ring accumulating mana and enabling commands to Isolet and those under the Blood Oath.

However, as more mana gathered, the range of people I could command would gradually increase.

Um

I grinned at the cheat ring and then got lost in thought.

Maybe its a trap.

The fact that I obtained this ring outside of Isolets exclusive route, especially given its reputedly low probability in the game, felt suspicious.

Could something have changed due to the DLC or something?

When something too good happened, it was wise to be suspicious.

Do you know about this ring?

Ah, yes, that is um

Do you know?

Im sorryyy

I asked the Sun God, who was riding next to the carriage, but her divinity seemed to cause issues.

I-Im sorry I was wrong, so please hit me somewhere other than my forehead

As I sighed, the goddess stood up and knelt on the ground.

A-as expected of the master

..

She was in the form of the youngest paladin.

This caused Lulus admiration to burst through its limits, and Serena, sitting quietly, looked at her with a disgruntled expression.

Lets talk later, please stand up

N-No, Ill stay like this. Im just a pathetic and incompetent woman who cant even help her own creation

Feeling awkward about making a goddess kneel, I whispered in her ear to stand up. However, she began saying something she shouldnt, wearing a guilty expression.

Ugh!

You know your place well.

Uh

As I pressed her head to the ground with my foot, the trembling and weeping goddess closed her eyes tightly and bowed.

If it calms your anger even a bit Ill endure it. After all, any harm to this body now goes to the one Ive possessed.

No, Im fine

You can treat me even more roughly Hero

Then Sun Gods dangerous statement echoed in my mind.

Haaa.

Leaning back in my chair, I took deep breaths as the impact of my Villainization peaked.

Lulus eyes glowed brighter, and Serena anxiously shifted her gaze between the goddess and me.

How did it come to this?

Since I couldnt reveal that the goddess had possessed the paladins body, I had to pretend I subdued her for the time being.

Lulu, analyze this for me.

Okay

While disrespectfully stepping on the head of the Sun God, the deity of this world, I silently gave the oath ring to Lulu.

Hmm this is

After examining the ring for a moment, Lulu spoke quietly.

I-Im not sure right now I need to analyze it with Irina. Its quite complicated

It seemed the ring was indeed not ordinary.

U-Uh Frey.

Yeah?

While I frowned at the ring, Serena suddenly shook my shoulder.

W-Whats happened here?

!

Turning my gaze to her, I was startled to see the blackened purity ring on her finger.

I-I had a dream last night, and could it be that it was real?

She had been blushing and stammering, perhaps because of this.

Dont worry about that ring.

Okay.

I felt a bit regretful after ordering her with Absolute Obedience.

It would have been a good opportunity to test if the ring of oath also worked on Serena.

F-Frey?

Yeah?

While I was regretting the missed chance, Serena turned to me with a puzzled look.

Uh, my my stomach feels strange.

What?

It feels full? Like its being filled up.

.

She blushed as she talked.

Its like a tingling, trembling, and bloated

Uh, um that

But I dont mind it Its like a satisfying and joyful feeling

U-Uh, can you treat the feeling in your lower belly as natural?

I blushed while gazing at her, then requested a favor while playing with the ring.

As it wasnt a command, Absolute Obedience wouldnt apply, but if the oath ring were genuine, perhaps a favor would suffice.

O-Okay? Ill try not to worry about it for now.

Hmm.

Serena responded with a confused expression and pressed her stomach.

Splash

Huh.

A small moan followed.

Splish, splosh

Hehe.

She continuously pressed her lower abdomen and smiled happily.

Did it work?

It was uncertain, but it might be effective. It worked on Isolet, at least.

I-Im jealous

I would try it on Clana, Kania, and now Lulu, who was blushing beside me, looking enviously at Serenas lower abdomen.

If this proved real, it could be helpful in the future.

Phew

Once the ring gained enough strength, I could issue commands that would harm me.

It could be useful during the Fourth Ordeal.

Im going to take a nap. Wake me up when we reach the city.

Okay

Clearing my mind, I decided to rest my eyes to cool down and control the Villainization that threatened to resurface due to Serenas earlier reaction.

There were tasks awaiting me in the city, and my date with Serena wasnt over.

For the next few days Ill just relax and go on dates with Serena.

Thinking about the good and bad parts, I closed my eyes slowly.

Y-You shouldnt let this bother you

Grrr

I-Im sorry Ill stay still

Serena continued to stroke her stomach, murmuring, and Lulu scolded the Sun God as I let my consciousness fade slowly.

Frey is the Hero

Roswyns room, a few hours after Frey had fallen asleep: 

He is the only Hero who can save this world

Roswyn stared at the tattered document in a sea of information and muttered in a daze as she knelt.

All this time, Ive been ignoring Frey

[Prophetic Book Dark Tale Fantasy 2 Complete Guide]

< Written by Han-Byeol Raon Starlight (Kim Han-Byeol) >

1. Overview

2. The Heros Duties and Objectives.

3. Scenario Strategy

4. System Strategy (Items, Skills, etc.)

.

.

.

Opening Everything about the Hero, she found an identical copy of the Prophetic Book that Frey had.

Even though it looked like a hologram, touching the book would summon various visual materials and videos for Frey, just like the original.

Ugh 

The floating information around Roswyn was precisely that.

W-What have I done?

After spending hours reading every word, she was in complete panic.

Even though she only read Everything about the Hero and not Everything He Did, she understood what Frey had sacrificed.

What the hell have I

The numerous hardships and adversities he would face, the penalties consuming his lifespan and life force, the unimaginable trials, and ultimately, the end he would meet.

I-I should have helped him

She could have eased some of his suffering as the Heros assistant.

But being a proud helper, she made the real Hero suffer more.

Ugh

She thought about Frey, who used to give her flowers daily with a pitiful expression.

Then, she remembered how she had mocked him and thrown the flowers out of the window.

W-What do I do

Roswyns mind started to race.

Was his consistent behavior over the years some kind of plea for help?

C-Could it be that

Everything began to fall into place.

Freys last words echoed in her mind and clarified everything. Cold sweat trickled down Roswyns forehead.

He was asking for help huh?

Roswyn murmured, feeling dizzy, and soon widened her eyes.

Lastly, the story about Roswyn.

?

At the end of section 7 of the prophetic book, Character Descriptions and Strategies, Roswyns name was inscribed.

You must always give flowers to Roswyn. Consistently, at regular intervals.

Give flowers to me?

Roswyn slowly read the text in confusion.

Why, why?

She couldnt fathom why the prophetic book mentioned giving her flowers, especially considering her recent incorrect deductions.

So, Frey was giving me flowers regularly because of this

Roswyn, accustomed to making assumptions, lowered her gaze.

Roswyn will die if she doesnt receive flowers from the system holder for a certain period.

Stunned by this message, she couldnt find words.

Theres another reason but never mind. Its better not to know. Getting fixated on something unlikely will only hurt you more

Roswyn continued reading with a vacant stare, her thoughts seemingly frozen.

All those actions were to save me

She recalled the day Frey had kicked open her door to give her flowers after she fell ill due to a delayed return from a stormy trip overseas.

Was it the same then, too

Frey didnt have his usual arrogance that day; he had seemed concerned, genuinely. Kneeling by her bed, he had given her flowers.

After that, she miraculously recovered in just one day.

He was trying to save me

Rumors circulated that Frey had searched for her everywhere when she was away.

Back then, she thought his obsession was creepy, believing it was worsening every day.

I didnt know

Tears welled up in Roswyns eyes.

I-Im sorry Frey

Her hollow voice echoed in the room.

However, give her flowers with sincerity and consistently.

I was wrong

His act of giving her flowers wasnt a foolish gesture, like the attempts of men who often struggled around her.

Frey continued because of a sense of duty to keep her alive, enduring daily contempt and persecution.

Wait.

Who knows? Maybe a miracle will happen.

Roswyns eyes, on the verge of tears, suddenly stopped.

What?

Her tearful expression slowly transformed into a stunned look.

Miracles dont matter.

She noticed a meticulously written comment in the margins of the prophetic books copy.

I just want Roswyn to get well soon.

The crooked handwriting she had seen in her childhood was undeniably young Freys.

Above all, being healthy is the best.

For a child who knew he was terminally ill from a young age, it was a surprisingly calm statement.

But those simply written notes tormented Roswyn more than anything she had read.

T-This cant be

Recalling young Frey giving her flowers, tears streamed down her face.

This cant be true

Just like that, a long time had passed.

I-Its not over yet

Crying and holding her head, Roswyn wiped her tears and whispered.

I-Its still uncertain? He might still be alive, right? Right?

She stood up and stumbled to the front door.

M-Maybe hes still alive Maybe its not too late So I have to go back

She left the room, sobbing and looking terrified, making her way toward the ruins still in the process of being cleared.

I-Its not too late

Continuously murmuring, she passed by a mailbox with a newspaper clipping.

[Breaking News] Frey Raon Starlight Confirmed Dead.

A shock to find his body in the ruins currently being transported to the hospital

The first-ever Duke to be stripped of his nobility, becoming a nobody
