My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Chapter 126

Sigh

Lelia laughed at him without realizing it.

Perseus heart seemed to shatter from the cold laughter.

I dont think you remember properly because its been a long time.

What?

In a situation where my residence was taken away, should I have survived like an animal in the Imperial Forest?

His forehead wrinkled. 

He recalled from a long time ago.

A small tower where a child used to live. That place was

Yes, he remembered that one day the twins said they would make it a space for Julianna and started construction.

Did she get kicked out? 

Why? 

Why didnt he think about it then?

He was flustered for a moment.

If you had told me, I would have saved you right away.

And after that? Would life really have been smoother here?

For me, it was more dangerous here than outside of the imperial castle, where there were robbers and beasts.

What kind of!

I ran away to survive.

If I grew up in the Imperial Castle, would you have noticed the truth? No, I would have been sold to any aristocrat who paid a good price for me.

Ha.

Perseus sighed frustratedly and distorted his expression.

His heart was stuffy and hot, and he looked like a troubled person.

Tears flowed from his eyes as if he were pouring out resentment against someone.

Lelia was right.

At that time, Lelia was very young. 

The nobles sought several ways to become closer to the emperor, and he regarded Lellia as a thorn in his eye.

One of them was marriage. 

Aristocrats could even take the young child and sell her to neighboring countries as a fortune

No No That cant be. I wouldnt have done that

Emperor Perseus muttered in a troubled voice. 

It was as if he were talking to himself.

Lelia looked at such an emperor with empty eyes and said, To me, terrible things came from the Imperial Castle I just want to make sure you know

I dont need a father.

!!!

Ive lived like that so far, and the same will continue in the future.

The emperor shook his head as if he didnt understand, as his forehead crumpled.

But, why did you come then? The reason you came to the Imperial Castle while hiding your identity Wasnt it to see me?

I just came to find what my mother left behind.

No! I dont believe it How can you say that? How!

Emperor Perseus eyes, which seemed empty, suddenly changed. He glared at Lelia with blazing eyes.

Youre my daughter. Elizabeth and my blood runs in your veins! How can you say that you dont need your father? I am here for you, to protect you!!!

At that time, he knew what decision he made for his late wife.

But now, whatever happened in the past, could not be the reason to accept him as her father.

Even if she felt cold-hearted, he couldnt help it.

Im going back as soon as the Superion knights have rested.

As Lelias words fell, the emperor eventually buried his face into his palms. 

His shoulders twitched vigorously.

She knew the emperor was crying, but Lelia didnt want to reach out and comfort him.

After watching the emperor for a while, Lelia lifted herself up and went out.

Outside of the door, Carius was waiting for her with an anxious look.

Lelia.

I want to rest.

Okay, lets go back to the room.

Lelia took a step forward just like that.

Soon after, a beastly cry began to come from inside the room she had just left, but she never looked back.

***

At the same time, Julianna, who came to meet the emperor, hid in the corner of the hallway and looked at Lelias back.

The moment she saw Lelias silver hair, her heart felt like it was pounding.

Is that him? That woman? No one would think of Lord Raymond when looking at her.

She was completely different.

Silver hair was like a symbol of the Aurarian royal family. The emperor, the twin princes, and the latest born prince all had silver hair.

Julianna bit her lips out of nervousness for some reason.

Lelia moved away from the main hall with an expressionless face. Next to her stood a man with a firm expression.

It was Sir Carius, one of the figures who got praised by the nobles of the capital when they gathered.

From an early age he was particularly blunt to her.

At first she thought he only hated her. However, she learned that he was the twin princes uncle, and after hearing her older brothers words, she changed her mind.

Thats my uncle. Hes always a bit blunt, but he never hates you, Julianna.

Thats right, hes my uncle, so hes the same as your uncle. So you dont have to be too scared!

After hearing those words, she could look at him more comfortably.

Standing next to Lelia, however, Sir Carius looked surprisingly friendly and gentle. 

Like someone else.

It was then.

At the same time as Lelia took a few steps, strange sounds began to come from inside the main hall.

Julianna was surprised and covered her mouth.

It was such a sad cry that the listeners heart collapsed. 

It was her father.

He was crying.

How

Tears quickly filled Juliannas eyes.

However, Lelia never turned around and looked back. She looked so cold-hearted.

Julianna hurriedly approached the servant in front of the main hall.

Open the door.

I cant let my dad cry alone like that.

***

I said Id go back as soon as the knights rest was over.

Lelia

Carius affectionately patted Lelia on the back of her hand. After contemplating for a long time, he soon opened his mouth.

In your uncles opinion Why dont you stay a little longer than that?

Even more so if this is the last time. As time goes by, I think it would be better for you to be more adult.

How much longer?

Well, until you have at least one good memory?

Even if its a place that you wont come back to, I hope its not a place full of wounds for you.  It was a very precious place for your mother.

Carius turned his head and looked at the small garden.

The appearance of his sister smiling brightly and beckoning him was still vivid.

His dead sister truly loved her husband Perseus, Auraria, and the Imperial Castle.

Recognizing his thoughts as she looked at Carius eyes, Lelia nodded slightly.

It didnt matter as long as it wasnt too long.

It was certain that she would return to the Superion territory anyway.

Now that the magic has been solved, she wanted to spend the rest of her life happily with her family at Superion Castle.

Just like that without any worries.

***

That night.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldnt sleep, so she sat back up in bed and concentrated on the game system.

There are a total of 3 recipes that have not been cleared yet.

It was a recipe that involved three of her friends, like Kalixs.

However, perhaps because these three have special powers, there was no favorability value, reading value, or known recipes.

[I must clear all the recipes to make the Philosophers Stone]

The philosophers stone is a must have, especially in case things dont go as planned.

As she was thinking about it for a while, suddenly a message appeared. 

So random.

• Special favorability target has reached the maximum level of favorability. Obtain a special recipe as a reward. Shall we check now?

Lelia stared blankly at the screen.

What happened all of a sudden?

It did something strange.

She hadnt done anything, yet the system appeared out of nowhere

The wording was a bit strange too. Reached the maximum level of favorability was it a typo?

Moreover, the system seemed to be completely different from that time with Kalix.

Is it because of the massive update?

Otherwise

[Has Alchemy gone crazy?]

•  X_X 

*(achoo)*

[I think its a bug.]

Lelia tilted her head and pressed the yes button.

• Special Recipe~: Love Potion

This is a mysterious potion that makes you fall in love with someone you see at first glance. ()

No, wait.

[A love potion?]

First, she checked the material. 

Maybe its not a decision to kiss again, is it?

• Love Potion

List of required materials

Determination of a kiss of love (0/1)

Hey are you kidding me now? Why are the ingredients all the same?

•  X_X 

*(do it)*

Ever since before, Alchemy no longer answered and only showed strange, expression emoticons.

Lelia thought angrily.

[Are you laughing now?]

Alchemy, if you want to kiss so much, just do it yourself. Dont make me do it again and again.

• x I cant speak

*(shareholders)*

[Oh, its frustrating.]

Lelia grabbed her hair. 

So she wants Lelia to kiss Griffith? 

Like she did with Kalix?

[Youre not going to make me kiss Romeo and Oscar, are you?]

Her eyes darkened by an unfamiliar, ominous feeling.

[Should I just give up on the special recipe? Ive even solved the magic of golden words anyway Do I even need a philosophers stone?]

Suddenly, her heart began to feel at ease.

Yeah, shes got it all figured out, and shes comfortable, so she doesnt need to keep scraping away. 

It might be better to take a break for a while

• This is a mission.
• Go to Griffith right now and get the ingredients.
• System: time limit 9 minutes 58 seconds

*(Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!!!!)*
