Chapter 84 – Conditions

“…What?”

My response was a beat too late, catching in my throat.

It was inevitable.

Luna Winfred—she knows my name.

And not just my name.

She knows that Kyle’s soul has been swapped, and even our plan to escape this world.

She knows everything.

And the culprit behind this?

‘Merlin…!’

Merlin Trivia.

That wretched woman finally caused a mess.

But why?

She had been suspicious from the start, but wasn’t her goal to leave this world as well?

I can’t understand her motives at all.

Why the sudden change in behavior?

Merlin had no reason to screw me over like this, did she?

Or, did she plan to stab me in the back from the very beginning?

I kept silent, offering no answers, and Luna stood up as if malfunctioning.

She began to walk towards me, slowly.

“…”

As Luna drew closer, Diana bristled like a hedgehog, raising her guard.

She gathered her mana, radiating a menacing aura as if ready to strike at any moment.

Ignoring Diana’s hostility, Luna stopped.

And she asked,

“Give me an answer.”

Her voice was breathy, almost a whisper.

Luna’s blue eyes burned intensely.

“Please…”

What am I supposed to say in this situation?

Should I tell her that her brother has long since vanished from this world and to give up her foolish thoughts?

Or should I dismiss everything as nonsense I heard from Merlin?

No, that’s wrong.

No matter what I say, it’s already too late.

She wouldn’t confront me with such outrageous questions without having some firm belief.

She must have enough evidence to confront me directly.

“So it’s true.”

As expected.

Luna began to interpret my silence in her own way, convinced of her own conclusions.

“As she said, you plan to leave this world.”

“Stop with the nonsense and go back.”

Diana’s sword pointed at Luna’s chin.

It was a deadly warning to back off immediately, but Luna just let out a hollow laugh.

I don’t know.

I really don’t know.

What she’s thinking, what plans she’s making, I can’t be sure of anything.

There’s only one certainty.

The world Luna believed in has shattered to pieces.

I stared blankly at Luna’s face.

She looked gaunt and hollow.

Her face was marred with terrible fatigue and stress. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

There seemed to be no physical injuries, but sometimes, mental anguish can be more fatal than physical pain.

In that short span of time, Luna seemed to have aged years.

What a mess.

As if being transmigrated into an unwanted world wasn’t enough, the string of terrible situations continues.

Yes, I’ve done all I can.

It’s just that this world was damned from the start.

“So.”

My voice came out hoarse and fractured between my clenched teeth.

“If I say yes, what will you do?”

“…What?”

“Will you help me leave? Or will you try to stop me?”

I muttered in a voice as cold as ice.

Luna’s eyes filled with pain.

“If you leave this world, then Kyle…”

“Why? What do you plan to do if you find Kyle?”

“That’s…”

Her voice trailed off.

After a moment’s pause, she spat out her words.

“Because he’s… my little brother…”

The moment I met her lifeless gaze, I felt the last strand of reason snap.

“Ah, do you really think that?”

“…”

“Do you really believe that if it were the real Kyle, he would grudgingly forgive you despite his anger… Do you have such a delusion?”

Luna stared blankly at me, then after a long pause, slowly nodded.

So that’s what she thought.

As expected, it was an utterly shameless notion.

Her eyes were filled with hope and anticipation.

A derisive smile broke out on my lips.

The words boiling up inside me finally spilled out uncontrollably.

“Do you want to hear a funny story?”

I wiped the smile off my face.

And continued in a cold, detached voice.

“Do you remember all the vile things you did to Kyle?”

“…Kyle.”

“Yeah, I get it. There were so many, it would be hard to remember them all.”

Luna’s arms trembled slightly as if in spasm.

Every word I spoke seemed to set her heart ablaze.

“You must regret it terribly. Wishing you had been honest, confessed everything earlier. Maybe then none of this tragedy would have started. You must be suffering every day because you couldn’t do that simple thing.”

“…”

“You need to beg the real Kyle for forgiveness, but I took that chance away from you, didn’t I?”

“I…”

“I’m sorry, but you’re wrong.”

I twisted my lips into a sneer.

The memories of the past painted vividly before my eyes.

Even though there’s no need for this anymore, I couldn’t stop myself.

Because….

“All the pain that Kyle should have endured.”

The trash food that the servants served as meals.

The knights’ beatings disguised as training.

And being up during winter, nearly freezing to death.

For me, every day was more hellish than the last.

Just recalling it was enough to make every nerve in my body scream in agony, the memories were that vivid.

And all that terrible pain…

“I took it all.”

I murmured in a voice laden with darkness.

The pain Kyle was supposed to suffer.

And the fate Kyle was destined for.

The moment I possessed Kyle’s body, all of it became mine.

None of it was my choice.

Luna stood there, her face blank, unable to form words.

It was so pathetic it made me laugh.

“Did you ask if I planned to leave this world?”

“Wait…”

“Yes, I need to get out of here as soon as possible. From this world, and….”

Luna Winfred.

“From you.”

An eerie silence settled over the room.

Luna’s mouth, which had opened to speak, closed like a lie.

This wasn’t something to laugh off.

I had tried not to think about it, tried to forget.

Because I couldn’t afford to weaken.

At least not until I returned to my original world, I couldn’t spare any attention elsewhere.

So I didn’t dwell on it.

No, I erased it from my mind.

Because the more I dwelled on it, the more painful it would be.

And now, what?

You want to know where the real Kyle is?

You want to ask for forgiveness?

From the real Kyle, not me?

My head throbbed.

Today, it was particularly hard to hold back.

The anger I had suppressed started to flood uncontrollably.

“Ha, you really didn’t know.”

“Kyle, I…”

“What do you know about Kyle Winfred? Do you know how he smiled, how he talked, what habits he had? Do you remember anything about him?”

The more my face contorted, the hotter my rage burned, the more I laughed.

“Ha.”

“…”

“That’s why you couldn’t recognize him. Neither you nor anyone in Winfred.”

The brutal truth pierced her.

The pain was so intense, Luna’s hands trembled.

I bent down to meet her gaze.

And quietly whispered.

“Luna Winfred.”

Words as deadly as poison.

“Give up your foolish thoughts.”

I spoke them casually, indifferently.

“You will never see Kyle again in this world.”

“Never… see him again…?”

“Yes, you’ll never see him again. Ever.”

You’ll never see him again.

Never…

Ever…

Luna’s eyes reddened once more at the dreadful pronouncement.

Her breath hitched, hot and ragged.

Tears welled up and streamed down her cheeks.

She wiped her tear-stained eyes over and over with her hands.

“Don’t be too heartbroken.”

I slowly straightened up.

And smiled brightly.

“The brother you need to ask for forgiveness is still here, isn’t he?”

For a moment, a strange light flickered in Luna’s lifeless eyes.

“So, help me.”

“…”

“Help me escape from this world, with everything you’ve got.”

Luna’s blue eyes, now filled with color, gleamed brightly.

Watching her, I whispered like a devil.

“Because that’s the only way I can forgive you.”

I looked at Luna.

Her face was completely dazed.

Maybe that’s why her gaze wavered slightly as she looked at me.

“Just this once.”

I spoke calmly, my voice steady.

“I’m asking you, one last time, sister.”

Only the irregular sound of breathing echoed faintly.
