Chapter 139
Philina gave a small smile and pursed her lips.
“I don’t know the details. That’s why you repeat life so many times.”
I didn’t dare to say that this world is in a novel. Somehow, if I said that, Huey would be quite embarrassed.
Well, it’s already a surprised face, but…….
She muttered softly, remembering the conversation she had with Lee in the forest of hallucinations.
“I don’t know, but apparently it was Cecilia who called me into this world.”
Huey frowned when he heard Pilina scream.
“If it’s Cecilia, do you mean Count Haley’s love affair? You are betrothed to the Prince?”
Somehow, Huey’s brow was strangely distorted. He looked as if he had heard the name of someone he knew.
Philina, who had been quietly scanning the figure, asked with a puzzled face.
“Have you ever met Miss Cecilia?”
Huey looked away awkwardly at her question.
Filina wrinkled her brow and tilted her head.
What’s the point of Huey meeting Cecilia?
He would have spent most of his time in the pagoda, and although he would occasionally come down to the village for business, he would not have spent much time.
Huey’s personality doesn’t seem to like hanging out with people, so he probably didn’t attend any gatherings or parties.
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way Cecilia and Huey would ever meet.
Unless there is any special deal between the two…….
For a moment, Philina’s eyes sparkled.
No way…, did Cecilia make any deals?
What do you need? In the original story, there was no such thing as a story about her meeting a sorceress.
Huey hadn’t been looking me in the eye for a long time. He didn’t want to talk about Cecilia.
Philina looked at him expressionlessly, then opened her mouth slowly.
“If you don’t want to tell me, don’t do it, and now I’m not going to tell you anything.”
It was a childish ploy, but I knew it would work for Huey.
Sure enough, he looked at Pilina with a puzzled expression.
“Where’s that? He said he would tell me everything in the hallucinatory forest.”
She shrugged lightly, looking insignificant.
“I’ve already told you all the important things anyway.”
“No, I don’t. My curiosity is just beginning. Why is it Cecilia’s fault that you’re here?”
He stared at Filina curiously. She raised her lips smoothly.
“Tell me first. How do you know Cecilia?”
Then he started grunting like a poopy puppy.
Huey wept and pursed his lips.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t do that, because it’s top secret.”
“Then I can’t either, because it’s top secret.”
“Oh, where’s that! So, tell me something else: Is there a way to go back to the world you came from? Maybe you will die in this life? Why are you dying? Why don’t you die?”
Despite the incessant barrage of questions, Filina remained silent.
Then Huey narrowed his brows in frustration.
“…… Oh, really.”
He glanced at Filina with a troubled look on her face and sighed softly.
“Cecilia told me to keep it a secret…”
Hearing Huey mutter, Filina’s expression contorted.
What the hell is going on with each other that keeps it a secret?
She spoke up to help Huey, who had been thinking about it for a while, make his decision.
“I’ll tell you everything. Let’s share secrets with each other. I haven’t told anyone about my story. Only you know.”
I could feel his red eyes staring blankly at Philina.
“…… Only I know?”
To Huey’s words, she replied bluntly.
“yes, it’s the first time I’m talking to you.”
Of course, it was a lie.
The first person she talked to was unintentionally Henry.
Oh, isn’t it?
I had talked to Lee before that.
But that was something that Huey already knew, and seeing that he wasn’t very conscious of Lee, he didn’t seem to treat Lee because he wasn’t human.
Huey met his gaze impressed.
“Philina. You really think of me as a very dear friend.”
He cried out with emotion, and Filina raised her lips awkwardly.
I didn’t want to admit it, to be honest, but it was true that I had feelings for him as I walked back and forth between him and the forest of hallucinations.
I spent more time with Huey than anyone else.
He pursed his lips with a face that was still unmoved.
“Actually…, it was Cecilia who commissioned the flower of the Holy Spirit.”
At the words he spat out, Philina’s eyes widened.
“Why Miss Cecilia…?”
She sobbed with a blank face, and then she closed her mouth for a moment and thought.
What function did you say the flower of the Holy Spirit had?
Vaguely, Huey’s words flashed through his mind.
‘If the living eat, they will die comfortably, and if the dead eat, they will come back to life.’
…… A flower at the crossroads of life and death.
and Cecilia Haley.
What is the connection between the two?
Philina’s eyes sank darkly.
According to Lee, it was Cecilia who summoned him to this world.
The death of the heroine.
The last will that was triggered by him.
…… That wind drew me into this world.
In the original story, Cecilia learns that Ian has seduced her to see the future, and she is overcome with great despair.
Bitterness towards the only person he believed in and followed.
The consequences of choosing love over the face of my own death were devastating.
No one acknowledged his grief. Such was the position of the heroine.
The only person I could rely on was the male protagonist.
I thought that was enough. I felt like I could have the whole world with just one emotion: love.
But the results were disastrous.
In the end, Cecilia’s choice was death.
Because of her suicide attempt, Ian is belatedly aware of his feelings and regrets them. And Cecilia miraculously wakes up.
In the original story, it was not revealed how her death took place.
…… The flower of the Holy Spirit that Cecilia had commissioned.
Its function was said to be a comfortable death.
A smile crept across Philina’s lips.
Cecilia succeeded in dying with a strong will in the recurring story.
And her last wish was triggered, and she drew herself in from another world.
Perhaps, Cecilia had accepted her fate from the day she saw her future. After that, I would have planned.
If the moment came when he had to face his own death, he would die the most comfortable one.
That’s why he tried to get the flower of the Holy Spirit through Huey, the owner of the tower.
Suddenly, I remembered her naïve smile.
Like a person who knows nothing about sadness, was everything that looked sunny a lie?
Probably not.
Cecilia is different from me.
She was not weak.
In the first place, the reason why I didn’t suspect that the heroine, Cecilia, would have killed me in the third life was not because of her innocence in the original.
Lee told me that if I used Cecilia, I would easily go to the dimensional gate.
But considering how Cecilia has looked so far, it’s something to think about a bit.
Is she really the one who can help me?
Huey opened his mouth, brow clenched.
“You’re really fine, aren’t you?”
Filina couldn’t say anything.
I felt like I was out of breath.
She looked up with difficulty and met Huey’s eyes. I could see his iris staring at him.
“…… I must go back to where I came from.”
Huey’s eyes flickered faintly at the sound of her voice. He asked in a cautious voice.
“How can I get back to where you lived? What can I do to help?”
Huey looked at me firmly, as if he would do anything I had to say.
Somehow I believed that gaze.
However, Huey’s help wasn’t much needed.
She muttered softly, her gaze down.
“…… I have to do it with my own hands.”
What this world wanted was an ending for Philina Debussy.
If so, she needed a scene in which she was put in prison again.
The process didn’t matter. All it has to do is have an ending.
The problem was that prison was the place where all of his roles ended.
When my role is over, a dimensional door opens to the Duchess of Debussy. I had to get in there somehow.
“But before that, I have work to do.”
Philina looked up to look at Huey.
He was staring at Pilina with a puzzled face.
She pressed her lips away as she looked at Huey with a sinking gaze.
“…… If I don’t succeed, you can help me.”
Lee didn’t want to die at the hands of the wizard, but if he couldn’t control himself, he had no choice but to seek Huey’s help.
If Li were to escape the hallucinatory forest in the form of a dragon and raid the entire Alvar Empire, something big could happen.
Huey nodded and opened his mouth.
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll help you somehow.”
“…… Of course, when Lee is in human form, it would be the easiest way for me to kill him.”
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s going to be a little difficult. I’ve already tried it many times. If your life is threatened, you will immediately turn into a dragon.”
Huey’s words let out a sigh.
I was expecting it to some extent.
The first time he went to the Hallucinatory Forest, Huey blindly threw a divine power bomb at Lee, who immediately turned into a dragon.
Eventually, a situation will come where you will have to fight the main body.
Philina lowered her gaze.
…… I wonder if I can do it well.
Be sure to be prepared.
And I had to meet the ending as soon as possible and return to my original world.
The world seems to treat itself as an impurity.
“But, Philina.”
Huey, who had been staring at her silently, suddenly asked with a puzzled face.
“When you go back to where you came from…, you’ll never see each other again?”
He looked bewildered.
Apparently she didn’t understand everything Philina was saying yet.
Well, it’s worth it.
He hasn’t said yet that this world is a novel.
Filina, who had been staring at Huey intently, smiled slightly.
“…… yes, I’ll never see you again.”
At her words, Huey paused for a moment. His expression seemed confused.
He moved his lips again with a serious face.
“I’m a pretty good wizard. There’s probably no better wizard in the Alvar Empire than me. This isn’t boasting, it’s fact.”
Filina smiled at the sound of her voice.
“So what’s going on?”
Huey opened his mouth again, a serious face.
“Isn’t it possible that I can move around and go see you? I haven’t measured the maximum radius of my magic for sure, but if I use my magic as much as I can, I can reach the next country.”
Even as he said that, he muttered in an awkward voice.
“Of course, if you use a lot of magic power at once, you’ll be like an old man for half the day.”
