The mansion of Duke Rebecca was quiet without Charlize.
The employees also only worked hard on their job and did not dare to speak among themselves.
It was because it had already been a few days since Charlize said she would bring Tia back. But even after so many days passed, she didn’t send a letter. So Eugene, Duke Rebecca, was very angry.
Eugene was working in the office. But he couldn’t concentrate on work. Letting out a long sigh to calm down his anger, he couldn’t help but lament.
‘Was it wrong to give Charlize the will?’
‘No way. I think it’s better if I check out that will of Mother to see if it’s burning.’
Eugene had a secret hidden from Charlize.
There was another will of their mother.
This was another will given to Eugene by the former Duchess before she died.
The will that Charlize had was for Charlize, and the will that Eugene had was for him, Jeremy, and Tia.
However, it was a completely different will.
The will divided into two was a structure drawn by his mother that allowed him to know each other’s existence.
If something happens to one of them, one of the structures drawn in the will will be burned down.
This was the secret will of Duke Rebecca.
The Duke of Rebecca originated their power by the will of the first Duke left for his family and descendents. So the will was like a treasure of the family.
Of course, it didn’t matter whether the one who kept the will was a Duke or a Duchess.
As long as he or she is recognized as a member of the Duke of Rebecca, their power will naturally be transmitted through the will.
Eugene took the secret will out of his arms and shook it a little.
Unlike Charlize’s will, the will was full of boring stories that he didn’t care about.
Stories from the past and stories for the future.
Even if he’s not confident in the will, he can’t say anything.
Eugene spoke to Jeremy, who was half lying on the sofa and reading a book about demons.
“Jeremy, have you planned what you’re going to do with Charlize after she returns?”
Jeremy looked away from the book he was reading and laughed awkwardly.
“I’m thinking of locking Charlize up.”
“Why?”
It has already been a month since Eugene ordered Jeremy to stay by his side, telling him to take a vacation from the Imperial Knights. Because he thought Jeremy began to act strange after Charlize went crazy.
He didn’t expect Jeremy to say that.
Charlize has ruined everything.
Eugene shook his head slightly at Jeremy’s words. He couldn’t understand Jeremy’s crazy behaviour and words.
Then Jeremy giggled and continued.
“Why? So that Charlize can’t run away.”
“Jeremy. You hated Charlize very much. What happened to you now?”
“I just wanted to protect my mother’s doll.”
“Did Charlize put a curse on you?”
“Charlize doesn’t have the power to do that. I just want to watch Charlize from the sidelines.”
Why?
Eugene wanted to know what his brother was thinking but he couldn’t comprehend anything with his own mind. Getting no satisfactory answer, he forced the conversation to end with Jeremy.
“I hope Charlize will bring Tia back soon and live quietly as if she’s dead.”
It was Eugene’s last wish.
***
Charlize, who knew nothing about the situation at Duke of Rebecca, is now stuck in an awkward situation.
“Sister Charlize is mine! I liked her first!”
It was because of Tia’s sudden confession.
Lena expressed embarrassment at Tia’s confession.
“Oh, such words have no effect on Miss Charlize…….”
“Tia, what are you talking about? You really liked Charlize?”
“…Tia.”
Harrison and John, of course, seemed quite shocked, too.
It all happened because Tia’s emotions were turbulent.
Charlize, who was stuck between a rock and a hard place, didn’t want to get involved in the mess.
“Ian. Come with me. Tell me your story about Grace.”
And a while ago, she called Ian to talk secretly as she promised.
Lua was about to follow Charlize since Ian said he could hear about Grace, but Tia suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“Where are you going with Sister, Lua?”
Tia, who had been arguing with Lena for a long time, blocked Lua. They watched as Charlize and Ian walked up the stairs.
“I want to hear about Grace.”
“……Then you have to memorize everything they say without making a mistake.”
“Okay.”
Tia let his wrist go at the reply.
Without giving Tia a glance, Lua passed her and went upstairs.
Tia thought she had finally gotten close to her sister, Charlize. But it suddenly occurred to her that she was still far away.
The feeling of depression came quickly.
Feeling the distance between her and Charlize, Tia’s heart ached numbly and almost died.
“Tia~? What’s wrong?”
Lena, who had not noticed her depression, smiled and wandered around Tia, who suddenly became quiet.
Lena couldn’t stop being sarcastic and teasing Tia because her reaction was so funny.
But if she did the same with Charlize, she would be treated coldly.
Lena has already figured out that Charlize has a cold personality and dislikes annoying people.
‘But she’s Grace’s reincarnation, so she shouldn’t be treated carelessly.’
While thinking about Charlize, Lena suddenly realized that she had blocked Charlize from dying somehow but didn’t solve it completely.
What if Charlize decided to die again before she fixed this death system?
No, I don’t think she will die now.
Lena told Charlize that she could become a God. She would like to believe that Charlize had believed her and decided not to die again.
As such, Lena, the game manager, opened a game system window in the air containing information about Charlize.
Of course, this system window was not visible to anyone except for Lena.
It was the privilege of being the game manager.
Lena released the death cycle tied to Charlize with a single click.
After all, the manager’s work will disappear if Charlize becomes a God.
The game manager was just an aide to the missing God.
When God reappears, the system of the game disappears, and the world is left as it is.
Lena had managed the game system alone for a thousand years after Grace died.
Just thinking that she wouldn’t have to do it anymore, she felt empty but refreshed.
The lonely life was over.
Lena stared at Charlize’s information, confirmed that there was no problem, and turned off the system window.
After finishing her work, Lena stuck out her tongue to Tia and climbed up the stairs.
She wasn’t in a hurry to follow Charlize because she knew Grace’s story better than anyone.
After all, Charlize and she had already shared all the secrets.
Charlize wouldn’t kick her out or anything just because she annoys her.
Lena entered the room, which was infused with the scent of Charlize, without knocking.
Bang!
As the door opened, she saw Charlize who was talking just now stopped talking.
“I’m here, Miss Charlize.”
“Knock before coming in.”
“I wanted to surprise you. Isn’t it funny?”
“It’s not funny at all. Lena.”
“Really? But I’m having fun.”
Lena smiled, closing the door quietly.
“So how far have those demons heard about Grace?”
Lena locked the door, and crossed her arms as she asked with a smile on her face.
Ian resumed the conversation, slightly narrowing his brows showing his open dislike for the Dark Sorcerer.
“They know that Grace was a God, not a monster.”
“That’s what I’ve heard too.”
“You were with Grace before I met her, right?”
“Yes. Of course, I was the servant of God.”
At Lena’s words, Lua felt a sense of alienation from her. She was a servant of God before she became a Dark Sorcerer.
Dark sorcerers were a foolish race that imitated demons.
That’s what he knew.
But God’s servant.
This was unheard of.
Lua waited for Lena’s next words. When she didn’t continue, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Was Grace happy?”
“No. She always looked at the sky with empty eyes. Grace wanted to die. Just like Miss Charlize.”
“……do you know what happened to Grace in the past?”
“No, I don’t know. Grace didn’t like sharing her past. I only know that Grace is a God who was born just to maintain the good and evil of the world. Don’t think about looking into Grace’s past. Because you would gain nothing.”
“You’re talking as if you had tried it before”
“After Grace’s death, I tried to dig into the information of her past.”
Lena paused for a moment without finishing her words.
Ian poked his ears, wondering what she would say.
“She behaved as if everything she had had been taken away. As if her presence should not be in this world.”
Ian’s eyes shook for a moment at Lena’s last words.
