"Is my brother going to take away my ring? ”

Yatel's gaze seemed a little bleak, a little trance. It seems that in the winter more than four years ago, the two reunited on the ruins of the battlefield, and met his brother who had not met for a long time, but he was terrified of dying.

Asa grabbed Atter by the collar, and when he came to such a place, Atter was still wearing a neat white shirt in the style of an aristocracy, as if to show respect. The two pairs of pale golden eyes stared at each other coldly. Unlike more than four years ago, Asa didn't feel guilty for Atel's sad look, and his pupils burned with icy flames.

"I'd love to know why you believe that kind of legend. Each word Asa's breath came out like a sharp blade, "If you kill me, I can fuse the power of the ring?"

“...... Brother doesn't believe it?" A look of confusion flashed across Yatel's face, "Brother doesn't believe in the predestined fate?"

Asa frowned.

If that was the reason why his brother wanted to kill him, it was too bullshit! He had never thought of killing Yatel before, though he knew very well that Yatel had always been a dangerous factor of instability, and just like him, he was a very dangerous person.

"Yes, I don't believe it. But if you're determined to achieve that so-called 'destiny', I don't mind giving it a try. ”

Asa grabbed Atel with his left hand, and his ring was less than ten centimeters from Atel's throat, a clear threat. He could have cut Yatel's neck whenever he wanted, but that wasn't ...... Pointless.

In the history recorded by the family, because of that unfortunate legend, I don't know how many people died needlessly, and even caused wars between countries. It is not for nothing that the Hernos are regarded as demons. Why? If it only takes two heirs of the Black Stars to kill each other, the full power of the Monarch of Chaos can be restored to the world. Someone has done it a long time ago. Eddie, who created the two rings, was not able to make the rings one, why such a legend has been handed down, it is simply ridiculous!

Yatel laughed, he actually smiled innocently.

Ordinary people would not dare to move under Asa's coercion, but Artel could still laugh. He was lifted with his feet off the ground and his hands drooping. As if he didn't want to resist at all. Today's Artel is not the same as before, in the past, at least on the surface, Artel was very obedient, like a well-behaved and innocent cat.

"But, my brother doesn't believe it......" Artel slowly closed his eyes, "I don't know, whether it's legends or fate." What the hell is it. I haven't read the legend of 'that', I read some books when my mother was still there, but at that time I didn't like to read at all, it was too boring to stay in the house every day, although the later days were even more boring...... That's it. ”

Asa inhaled softly.

The heart that was originally not guilty suddenly trembled. A slight bitter feeling welled up. His fingers loosened a little, but he didn't notice it.

"You really haven't seen it?"

"Hmm. Really!" Artel opened his eyes, no longer cold, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Is it any use for me to deceive my brother now? I can't help it, I can't find any other future except the future in the 'Magic Mirror'. I think I'm probably such a 'thing' that can only be stored in this way. The world is like this, I can't change it!"

Artel sighed.

"I don't have anything. His voice eventually turned to a sigh.

Maureen once told Asa the story of Atel, and she spoke of the "Mirror of Good and Evil," a treasure that she didn't even understand. She said that Artel had only injured her when she had left the Ice Moon Collar after looking at the mirror, and that Artel had been devastated at the time. After that, it was judged like two people. It's an illusion-creating object, and sometimes it's the most terrifying enemy.

"What do you see in the 'Magic Mirror'?" Unconsciously, Asa's tone softened, and Artel looked puzzled, and soon, he chuckled in relief.

"I've seen a lot of things, more than I've seen in the Ice Moon Collar. I saw when I was very young, huh...... The appearance of a four-year-old - grabbing the corner of my brother's clothes, I wanted my brother to play with me, but I couldn't speak, I could only stare at my brother stupidly. By the way, my brother was also a child at that time......

"Later, my brother left, and when I was with my father, my brother said that he would never see each other again, and told me not to cry, but I knew that my brother would not come back. The elders decided to separate the two of us, probably because they were worried that the power of the ring would tempt us to fight each other, right? They had already seen that the ring would have a special reaction around the two of us, and I knew that, that's why they were so sad. Not long after my brother left, my family moved with me.

"My mother is very good to me, but she is also very strict, it doesn't matter if you don't study, but you can't cause trouble to others, you can't play as you like, and you can't go out. Sometimes I think my family is guarding against me and just pretending to be kind and gentle to me, but I think my mother still cares about me.

"She saved me that day. There was fire everywhere, it was my mother who pushed me out of the window, and I heard people say they were going to snatch my ring. My mother told me to 'run', but I couldn't, the air exploded, and when I fell into the river, I hit my head and passed out. I took out the ring and put it on my hand when I passed out, which is weird, right? It was as if the ring had taken control of my body. I woke up to see the night sky turn fiery red, Ann Rietta and Rosalina...... Rust and Sloss were right next to me, and I don't remember who I was. ”

These, Maureen poems have also talked about, it was Maureen poems who discovered the record of the "Ring of Death", and it was the stronger Rust and Sloth who went to the Paland continent to find the "Ring of Death". Perhaps it can be said that it was Maureen's poems that caused the tragedy of the year and the impasse that is present today. However, Asa thought, even if he killed Maureen, he would not be able to recover the past, which was too far away for him to even remember what his mother looked like.

How many years have passed, Asa has gone to look for Stephen Esmedra near the continent of Seto, but he has never found his only brother. When he saw his brother's face again after a long absence, he still felt that everything was unreal.

Asa put Atl down.

It's not that he just let him go, it's just that no matter how much he is regarded as a non-human, some of the same feelings as humans are still there. After experiencing an incomparable age, accustomed to loneliness that no one understands, I suddenly realized that I still want to have a "kind" there, even if the relationship is not good, it doesn't matter.

Asa wasn't completely distrustful of fate.

He just had some dreams that he wanted to fulfill. (To be continued......)
