I felt my consciousness fluttering, and it darkened again.
It holds back a heart that moves so hard.
"Why is that...?"
Abel's experience at a young age was more spectacular than I had ever imagined.
I couldn't calm down for a while, and I squatted in the darkness to survive the emotional storm.
... what I just saw is the full "Red Hill Incident".
Unintentionally, there was a lot of mystery in it.
When Abel was young, he thought it was a "disaster," but I think the raid was only man-made.
The Northerners were the main intruders, but some of the enemy soldiers said in the words of the Empire, “There you are!" - [sic] "There was one who shouted.
In other words, there was someone who guided us.
"I know that..."
What exactly is a "crying woman"?
I'm sure that's the root of the disaster.
Why did you show up at the chapel, reveal the Tarot, and let Abel activate the Tarot?
Above all... turning people into flowers and saying, "I won't suffer anymore" is such a bad hobby.
In contrast to such a mystery, I have learned one thing.
The man in the hood and his son are children.
That child must be mistaken.
"Prince Eileen."
Dark hair with habits and green sapphire eyes. Besides, there can't be so many people who know Tarot.
She looked young and innocent, but I don't know if it was real.
And to me, the man in the hood... the man who was the father of Prince Eli seemed unusual.
At first, Abel seemed to be a good person to share secrets with, but in my eyes... I saw a strange obsession that made me believe in Abel and still use him.
Thinking like that, your consciousness is blurring again.
I rushed over and over to find Abel-san, but from the cold darkness, only the silence returned.
◇
The next thing I woke up was a dungeon.
It looks familiar here.
I was trapped in that dungeon, too.
Tied up and holding his fingers immobile with wooden shackles, Abel barked like a rabid dog.
"You, did you guide the thieves!?" That's what I just said!! "
It was the man in the hood who shrugged his shoulders at the barking Abel-san... Prince Eile's father.
In other words, he is the brother of the Emperor.
"Please don't, Abel-sama." It's all your (...) fault. "
"...... ah"
The man who clearly blamed Mr. Abel's fault knelt before Mr. Abel.
"It doesn't matter what happens." Rather, why deny it? Why aren't you proud of the miracle you've done? ”
That said, the eyes of the man who peered in were dominated by a strange exhilaration.
I think it was the eyes of a fanatic.
Looking into his eyes, I instinctively realized that this man had “done the case to get Mr. Abel to use the tarot.”
However, he did not answer the question, "Did you attract the thief?", and repeatedly said that Mr. Abel had killed his family.
From an adult's point of view, I think it was naive and palliative, but it worked well for Abel-san, who was young and pushed into it.
His red eyes were distorted and his big tears faded.
The Imperial Brother continued without wiping his tears.
“You have the same power as God. We need to stop being obsessive.”
"R, et al...?"
"Yeah. They were doomed to die anyway. But before thy hand became an ugly meat mass, thou couldst be saved and become a beautiful flower. What if this isn't salvation?"
Abel is shivering with anger and fear as she peers into the madness of her eyes and cuts through the trauma.
However, the Emperor's brother still gave way to madness.
"Come on, share it with me." Know the knowledge of that God. You must know something else. "
"I-I-I don't know..."
"No, I know. Because the color of your hair and eyes, and the fact that you know the ancient letters, shows your bloodline that you are the heir to the Tarot."
The Emperor's brother smiled.
Then, the masked men who were standing behind the Imperial Brother surrounded Mr. Abel.
There was a small figure inside...... wearing a mask, but it was obviously Prince Eli.
When Abel-san noticed this, Prince Eile opened her eyes and waved her hand pretending to be her friend.
Seeing this figure, there was a strong feeling in Mr. Abel that he had been betrayed.
When I was locked up, I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't resist anyone, it gave me peace of mind.
He laughed innocently when he was beside me during a hard time.
Even though I was grateful for that, I was beginning to feel like my brother.
In fact, it was someone from an unfamiliar organization who came close to having a purpose.
And the two breathed at the beginning of their persistence, and the emperor's brother said unto him, Come, and call upon Prince Eile.
Then he said, "Be polite." Then he lifted one of Abel's right little fingers and let Prince Eli hold it.
The feeling of my hands made me feel cold sweat.
Abel felt the danger and scratched the algae to escape, but she couldn't escape because she had her fingers fixed with finger shackles.
I felt the same sensation as Abel-san.
The Emperor's brother smiles gently.
"It's okay. There's no healing magic in the world, but I'm sure Tarot can cure it in the blink of an eye." As long as you are a professor in Tarot's magic circle, I will cure you immediately. "
Continuing, the young Prince Eile said with a pleasant voice.
"Ehehe. I'm sorry if I can't make it!"
──That is how the torture began.
◇
You can hear a thin breath called huu, huuu.
When I realized that it was my breathing, there was severe pain in my body, and my consciousness was awakened at once.
It seems that a few days after the torture began, the fingers have already been almost broken.
My nails are peeling and I have severe bruises all over my body.
Only one index finger is safe.
It was obvious that the finger was not left with warm feelings, but rather to be able to show it smoothly when teaching secrets. It was only for that reason.
"Hey, Abel-sama, I'm tired of this"
……
In front of Mr. Abel, who had regained consciousness, was Prince Eile, who was sitting in a chair with a stuffed animal.
There are about two masked men on either side of it.
"Doll, Azobi, I'm bored and I don't really like it"
Prince Eile twisted his plush arm like that.
Then the restrained man moved quickly and turned around behind Mr. Abel.
Soon after she spoke out, she twisted her arms back like a stuffed animal.
Abel screamed as she tampered with her off shoulder.
"Giggle, ah, ahhhh!!"
“Tell me quickly. If you don't, you'll get mad at me again."
Prince Eile, who hung his legs like that, seemed to be playing a role in hurting Abel on behalf of his busy little brother, who also had a front face.
Apparently, they were training as well. When I saw that the instructions were sweet or ineffective, the men on either side whispered instructions and advice.
I wondered why adults did not direct torture, but the question was solved by my own words.
"Is that it?" You can't do anything but me and Chi Chi Chi, can you? "
……
Whoever tells me to do this, I think it's the same thing.
Haa, Prince Eile, who sighed strangely like an adult, twisted his stuffed toy hand.
Ms. Abel was sweating without being able to speak.
"Why doesn't Abel-sama's wife tell me about it?"
……
"It's not working either... why?"
With a slightly different furry murmur from the words of the interrogation, Prince Eile leaned his neck.
"Grandpa Hiihi said the same thing, Chiichi." It was a waste of time. "
Abel-san is at war with those words.
In other words... people who were in a similar situation to Abel-san were also captured.
But I probably didn't reveal my secret.
And they didn't come back.
When I heard that, I felt that Abel-san was secretly determined.
I'm sure it's my family's determination to keep the secrets they've kept,── at least until they've finished stabbing── themselves.
"(Prince Yile doesn't know that......)"
Is it because you are too young or because you are used to harming others?
"(Either way, Mr. Abel doesn't speak here)"
I thought there was only one thing I could tell about this past event as I sink into the tense air.
I don't know how far this young Abel-san has come... but "woe" had two meanings.
One is like a magic disaster in which that "crying woman" appears.
And the other thing was that I could look at the── Imperial family.
Dyeing your hair black, or not revealing the letters of Alheo, was an act to keep your eyes off the royal family.
I don't know if Abel's father knew about it, but if he did, there might have been a reason to hide Abel from the Gloom.
Without realizing that he had beaten the bad guys to strengthen Mr. Abel's will, Prince Eli went on.
"Hey, just let me know." Hey, just one shot today. "
"Shut up...!"
When Abel-san squeezed his voice and said so, Prince Eli sighed, "Haaah!"
And the── atmosphere changes.
It looked like a cat looking at a weakened rat.
Why are you going?
……
”Why do you think I only have a tarot when I'm dead because of Master Abel?”
……
Abel's body trembled at the blade of words that suddenly flew.
"Abel-sama is the one you shouldn't have, right?" Why don't you tell us that it's the best thing to do? "
"...... ah"
Words are skillfully guided.
"Are you satisfied?" For once, you can't make up your mind about Jumba. "
"May..."
Abel-sama seems to be one of them, but he's one of them.
May!!
"No, don't look away." The father and mother who murdered you are going to kill you. "
"......!"
Abel-sama. Now, tell me what you know! ”
Hurt just by being hurt.
Even so, Mr. Abel did not speak.
No, I couldn't── speak.
Suddenly, a hot wind blows in the dungeon.
The supportive men hugged Prince Eile with their eyes wide open.
At the same time, Abel screamed in horror.
"Ah... ahh... no, don't come, don't come, don't come!!" I hate it!! "
I could hear her crying in Abel's── cornered ears.
And... I even noticed that the woman who was sobbing suddenly raised her face.
As it is, the tragedy is repeated.
The men in the support role fumbled with the panicked appearance of Abel and the magic power that began to run wild.
However, it seemed that Prince Eile had been taught how to deal with it. Prince Eile had stunned Mr. Abel with an electric shock before long.
At the same time, my consciousness is playing bachin.
I thought I'd be dragged into the darkness again, and now I'm in the white world.
◇
Experiencing a nightmare torture experience, I collapsed and couldn't breathe well for a while.
I can't process my emotions, and my physiological tears are drowsy.
”Abel-san... ah, ah, ahhh... that's...”
How can we save them?
How can we get that boy out of hell?
I can't believe I think so.
Those things have already happened.
If I remember correctly, Abel would be left in the custody of Ortensia-sama and locked up in the abandoned tower.
And instead of performing── a magic rampage, the "crying woman" was shackled to instant death if she used a certain amount of magic power so as not to cause a disaster.
Since then, as you know, I've been living with only minimal care.
In the future of truth, where I didn't exist, Abel was hurt enough to fall into the darkness. Did this happen at the root of it?
Thinking so, I suddenly had more questions.
"When you met me, Abel hadn't fallen into the darkness, so why did she fall into the darkness in the future...?"
Even though Abel had experienced it, his strong spirituality and goodness made him a harmless person who preferred to be alone.
Why did you become the boss of Las Vegas?
You're telling me there's still something ahead of us?
The moment I muttered, the world glowed white as── if to respond to it.
