Chapter 175
Chapter 175, we are very similar, we are different
Three months after Ike was notified of his death, a girl approached me.
That girl, even in my opinion, is a very beautiful girl. No, it was a girl whose beauty could not be described.
Even at the age when the girl's beauty is just beginning.
The beauty of that girl will also make people feel unusually thrilling. The moment I saw the girl, I thought how beautiful she would be when she grew up.
The girl has long fiery red hair, a delicate porcelain-like face, and beautiful features. The long eyelashes can easily put a few pencil leads. There is a chalcedony-like horn on her forehead, which makes the girl's beauty more and more enchanting. Under the forehead, the girl's eyes are like the most beautiful and transparent gems in the world, and the pure silver in the pupils will always inadvertently make people feel pity.
The long skirt with lace trim that wrapped around the chest bulged was just the right length to reveal the girl's slender and white calves. The fork behind the long skirt just exposes a pair of delicate wings behind the girl, and the skeleton of the wings seems to be a handicraft made of crystal.
Her beauty is breathtaking, it's like a demon!
I couldn't help but think in my heart.
However, the girl at this time is not perfect. When she found me, the girl's dress was in tatters, the horn on her forehead was dull and dull, and her whole body was dusty, as if she had been traveling alone for 10 years.
The girl's face was very bad, and her eyes were gloomy as if a candle was about to go out.
That's the first time I met Hohenheim Livia.
Of course, although she is very beautiful, those flaws can't hide anything. But the first time I saw her, I was super... I hate her.
There is no distress at all!
The moment she found me, the girl looked relieved, determined, and incredulous. The petite body trembled unnaturally, and her hands tightly grasped the folds of the long skirt. Biting his lip, he bowed his head towards me. But the words that came out of his mouth were thunderous and thunderous.
"Woooooooo Finally see you!"
"First time we met, sister, I'm.... Ryu Livia is the wife of your brother Ike. β
"Please, save Ike!"
"For this, I can pay anything. β
The girl lowered her head, the girl who should have been high, delicate as porcelain, and honorable as a god. Towards Lena, he fell to his knees humbly, tears like clear streams, staining the ground.
At that moment, Lena suddenly understood the identity of this girl.
She is the murderer who charmed my brother and killed my brother!
....
"At that time, the girl named Lena must have been quite confused. β
"With Squier's legacy, she must understand. As the first heir to the House of Hohenheim, what does it mean for Livia to make such a humble gesture? β
But she knew better that if it weren't for Livia, how could Squire be in a dying state. β
What's more, Livia made conditions that were too harsh for her. β
"I see, I understand the magician. It turned out that at the time when Ikego was delayed by the demon king with time magic, the contractor of the Squir clan found by my sister was.... But, Lord Magician, according to Alice, that girl shouldn't have chosen herself...."
Except for the magic array that blatantly made a "whoosh" sound. The room was silent enough to hear the echo of my own speech.
Only the angel tilted his head, still showing an expression like some particularly cute little animal, and asked.
It's so cute, the angel is so cute. It's like having one at home.
"Enough, Mr. Imoel, as a professional liar, your story is getting more and more unreasonable. Alice took a step back, bit her lip, and said unwillingly. Her right hand didn't even realize it, and was clutching the hem of Squier's teenage shirt in front of her.
"Is it really unreasonable?"
"It's... Yes. β
"Well, why tremble. Alice. β
"The end of the story I told is already obvious. Even the Squire boy standing there probably knew everything a long time ago. β
Ignoring my right arm, which was tightening again, as if tempting something, I said as if I was waving my left arm, which was the only one that could move.
Sure enough, I still can't ignore it.
"So, Youxia, I said that I don't plan to be a bad guy anymore. It hurts, it hurts!"
"Hmph, if you want to, I can be as cute as an angel. β
"It hurts, it hurts... What did you just say. Ah, it hurts, it hurts. β
"Uh-huh. β
"In fact!"
"He just didn't debunk it. It's just naΓ―ve to think that if you pretend not to know, you can have a future, so you'd rather go on like this.
"No, that's not the case, Brother Ike, Brother Ike, he doesn't know anything. It's all Alice's fault, it's just Alice's fault. β
.....
"Please, please sign a life-sharing contract with Ike!"
The girl who fell to her knees in front of me wanted me to use a life-sharing pact on someone.
Someone who is very important to me.
The Squire family is also a high nobility in a society made up of subhumans, and not only because of the preciousness of their blood.
In subhuman societies, the aristocracy is privileged because they have a talent that is rarer than the "loyalty contract", which is common to subhumans. And the descendants of the Squire family have the "life sharing contract".
The original "life sharing contract" is the best testimony of the great feelings of the Squier clan when they find their lovers who depend on each other in life and death after they become adults.
As a descendant of the Squire, each person can make a pact with their most important being in their lifetime. And the role of the contract is the complete sharing of vitality, lifespan, and even fate. As a long-lived race among subhumans, the Squire race's "life-sharing contract" is almost the elixir that all short-lived races dream of. And because this contract is powerful enough to use the lives of the Squir people to resurrect the dead whose souls have not yet dissipated,
And all subhumans in the subhuman generation need the willingness of the contractor when signing the contract. For this reason, the "life-sharing contract", which cannot be obtained by coercive means such as violence, is also called a forbidden contract in many other worlds.
Even if it's me, my unsuccessful sister, even if it's me, the cuckoo who has been sent into someone else's lair. I am also deeply loved and cherished by him, he is my most precious brother!
But....
.....
"However, the girl couldn't do it. It's not that she doesn't have the courage to give her life. β
Although it is unknown what price Livia paid, it is clear that Ike was only seriously injured and near death at the time. Therefore, even if a life-sharing contract is signed, at most it will only enter a state of serious injury at the same time, but it will not die because of it. β
However, in this way, in order to save Lena, who was seriously injured, the Squire family will definitely choose to sacrifice the little cuckoo bird that should have been pushed out of the nest by Lina herself. β
"Am I right, little cuckoo - Alice Squier. β
"I said before that if it is to avoid family infighting, I have to foster my child. It's too obvious to have three children in one family!"
"Therefore, there are only two children who are really fostered, Lena Squire, who is a descendant. There is also an Alice used to sharpen Lena Squier, who is two years younger than Lena Squier. β
"The bigger the family, the more cruel it is, and for the sake of the family, it is obviously a traditional routine to eliminate the general heir by choosing 1 from 2. β
"But what. β
"You'll be 16 this year, Alice Squire. Who are you going to eliminate in your coming-of-age ceremony?"
"For example, a lucky boy who inherited everything from his sister because of his sister's death. From the moment he started, Squire had fallen into a rare silence. It's a heavy truth, a bloody scar. I am really bad for destroying that pure and beautiful memory and telling the truth in a painful way. However, even so, at this moment, I hope from the bottom of my heart that they can be happy.
All you need to do is...
"Ahh Ah, you've seen through it, Mr. Imoel. It's really amazing. Suddenly, Alice, who pushed away Squier boy, lifted up her long stay in the sea, and pulled out a hair tie and tied it behind her head. As if he was a villain who had been exposed by a detective, he clapped his hands and said.
"I thought I could fool you, yes, my rite of passage is to get rid of this untouchable who has insulted our noble Squire. β
"Wow, are you angry. That's right! I want to thank you for being that, Ike. If you hadn't run to serve the Hohenheim family as a dead soldier, I wouldn't have survived so easily. Lena Squire's mean woman is a super tough opponent... I didn't expect to choose to cut myself off because of this. β
"I appreciate your ..... Ike... Brother?"
Alice looked at the Squire boy who was stunned and at a loss with a sarcastic expression. Then, the boy's hand twitched, and then clenched into a fist. Her eyes quickly turned red, like a ghost, staring at Alice fiercely.
The angel nervously stood up from the couch, but was stopped by Livia again. Youxia also rarely wanted to stop it, but I silently stopped me.
Finally, the young man, who couldn't stand the bad words, waved his fist and walked towards Alice.
But he only gently tapped Alice's skull.
And that's just the way it goes.
The boy cried,
Crying and laughing.
Later, Alice also cried.
Between the two, the soul of a girl also cried and laughed.
For whom to cry, for whom to laugh, for whom to cry, for whom to cry. None of that matters. But only tears kept flowing.
It is precisely because they are family members that they will sacrifice for each other.
It's precisely because it's family that I feel that it doesn't matter if I'm hated, and it's okay if I'm resented like this.
I feel that as long as I can save it, it doesn't matter what the price is.
But obviously, I firmly believe that if my sacrifice can be exchanged for the happiness of the person I like, it must be worth it. This is not true.
"So, from the very beginning, it was absolutely, completely, the ultimate mistake. β
"Just like I was back then. β
