Chapter 416 Farewell
Leri City, Royal Cemetery.
The body of Clos was buried here by Cassius as the previous king.
After the Battle of the Temple, Miss planned to go to the city of Rezevit in the Borderland immediately.
Rescue Hestice and Nora from the encirclement of the Holy Knights.
By the way, bring Petra and her daughter to the city of Rezewitt so that they can reunite with the old demihuman family.
So he didn't have time to stay in the Kingdom of Veratis for too long.
After burying Cross, he will leave.
"President, thank you for telling me the truth." Cassius sat stiffly in front of the cemetery to see Miss off.
Miss patted his shoulder and felt that the little yellow-haired boy in his memory was completely different from before.
It seemed as if I had matured a lot in an instant.
After Tartarus and Cross died together in the cathedral that day.
Miss finally had the chance to ask Cassius why he had such a great hatred for Cross.
Cassius was heartbroken at the time, but he was not happy about his "revenge".
His response was, "Because Cross killed Shana."
Only then did Miss realize that Cross had not told Cassius about Shana's escape.
Cassius, who had been kept in the dark, was immersed in grief and anger all day long, and was determined to kill Cross to avenge his sister.
When Miss told him that Shana was still alive, he was stunned.
Cassius thought Mith was comforting him, so he didn't believe it.
Until Miss told him the whole story and promised that Shana was in Sojer City at that moment.
Only then did he realize that he had almost done something that he would regret for the rest of his life.
If Cross really died in his hands, he would be trapped in a vortex of suffering worse than death for the rest of his life and would never forgive himself.
Cassius was extremely confused. He didn't know why Cross did this?
In his opinion, Cross could have told him the truth directly, but he chose to hide it and made him hate him.
Regarding this matter, Miss had discussed it with Nobo, the chief court magician of Veratis, in advance.
I also learned from Nobo some details about what happened before Cross' death.
That is the so-called “truth”.
Mis and Cross had already planned how to kill Tartarus.
However, Cross accidentally discovered the existence of Tartarus's national slaughter magic, and realized that the super-level magic was about to be activated.
So he couldn't wait for the day when Miss left the demon world, and decisively chose to sacrifice himself and die together with Tartarus.
He was confident that he would not be devoured by Tartarus' soul, so he planned to hide in his body, wait for the right opportunity, and seize the initiative of Tartarus' body.
In his original plan, Cassius, who escaped from prison, would sneak into the cathedral with hatred and carry out assassination.
At that time, Cross will disturb Tartarus' mind and create an opportunity for Cassius.
This is the "truth" that Miss learned from Nobo.
Among them, Cross's plan seems feasible, but it is not.
He underestimated Tartarus and seemed to have completely ignored him.
If Miss and others had not participated in the Battle of the Temple, his plan would have ended in failure.
Because the moment Cassius sneaks into the cathedral, he will be instantly discovered by Tartarus.
After all, even Miss himself could not escape Tartarus's sight.
After Miss told Cassius all this, Cassius immediately fell silent, with only tears on his face.
Beside the cemetery, dead leaves are falling, and separation is imminent.
"Brother, you worked really hard to deceive Tartarus."
"I know that you have never changed, brother. Your previous cold-bloodedness was all fake. You have always loved us deeply."
"If Shana knew about this, she would definitely be very happy."
Miss, who was standing behind Cassius, felt very uncomfortable.
He had also been looking forward to that day when he first met Cross and discovered that Cross still had emotions.
On that ideal day, Tartarus and Michel's conspiracy was exposed and they disappeared from the world.
And no one paid the price of their life for it, and everyone had a perfect ending.
Cassius and Shana also discovered Cross's difficulties, and the relationship between the three siblings was restored.
Now, these expectations have really become ideals, ideals that can never be realized.
"I'm sorry Cassius, I couldn't save him."
Hearing Miss's apology, Cassius shook his head slightly, "President, you have been saying this all day. It's not your fault for what happened to my brother. You have no reason to apologize."
Even if Miss did not kill Cross who was possessed by Tartarus at that time, Cassius would have done it himself under impulse.
Moreover, if the situation was special at that time and you were a little careless, Tartarus might seize the opportunity to turn the tables and make a big mistake.
Cassius forced a smile and said, "This may be the best result. It may also be what my brother wants to see."
Mis remained silent.
This might be the ending Cross wanted to see, but it was not what he wanted to see.
There are still too many unreasonable things about Cross's case.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
Cross is such a cautious person that he would never underestimate an opponent of Tartarus' level.
Besides, Tartarus probably didn't know that he still had emotions.
Under such circumstances, there was no reason for Tartarus to activate the magic of slaughtering the country in advance.
Miss had realized this as early as when he discovered the existence of this country-killing magic.
There must be some force or someone who fanned the flames, pushing Cross into a desperate situation step by step.
Mease did not tell Cassius about these speculations.
He didn't want to make Cassius, who was covered in bruises, more tired.
Miss plans to find the real truth alone.
"President, you should leave now."
"Cassius, you..."
"President, I'm fine. Miss Hestice and little Nora's matters are more important. Don't keep them waiting too long. When you see them, please say hello to them for me."
Cassius spoke in his usual tone, as if he had come out of his grief.
But Mis could see that he was just keeping everything inside and pretending to be calm.
"President, when you return to Sojour City, can you do me a favor?" Cassius asked softly.
Miss didn't hesitate, "Go ahead."
After thinking for a moment, Cassius slowly spoke, "Can you keep my brother's affairs a secret from Shana for now?"
Mis asked, "Why?"
Cassius gently raised his hand to sweep away the fallen leaves on the tombstone. "I don't want her to know this. She won't be able to bear it and will collapse."
Miss sighed, "But she will have to face these things sooner or later. We can't hide it."
Cassius laughed bitterly, "Yeah, how could I be like a fool and not even think of such a thing."
Miss didn't say anything more and turned and left.
He thought that if he left Cassius here alone, Cassius might release the pain in his heart.
As he turned around, Miss retracted his gentle gaze.
"For all the schemes that Cross has endured, sooner or later I will seek justice for him one by one."
