764 please take my protection and live well
Link’s purpose in asking this was obvious.
Now that all the living beings, evil spirits, ghosts, and fallen had disappeared from Carina Castle, only Alfred, the Butler, was left. He was all alone. This was why link had the idea of roping him in.
It wasn’t that Alfred was powerful, but his loyalty to his master made link feel like he was looking at Fu.
Rather than letting Alfred continue to be a lonely ghost in the ancient castle of Carina, it would be better to take him outside to see the world.
Of course, this was only Link’s wishful thinking. As for whether Alfred was willing or not, it would still depend on his own will.
alfred muttered to himself for a moment, then looked longingly at the old castle of karina.
Without the support and maintenance of Julian’s magic power, the previously incomparably beautiful Castle instantly became desolate. The originally elegant gold and silver wares were now covered with a layer of dullness, as if no one had cared about them for a long time. The sofa, which was carefully maintained every day, was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Julian was dead. The castle of Carina had lost its last bloodline heir. The will of the castle that was maintained by magic and energy had completely dissipated. Everything could not continue.
Alfred’s eyes were filled with confusion.
The bloodline of the great Karina Castle had been maintained for hundreds of years. He did not expect it to be completely cut off on this day.
What would he do in the future?
Alfred considered for a moment. before making a decision, I need to make another trip to the terrace area. There’s something the old master left for me there.
The place Alfred was heading to happened to be the ingenious place that link had discovered when he was at the heaven’s insight stage. The multiple seals within the wall had disappeared, and now, one could see an invisible door that was embedded in the wall with the naked eye.
Alfred pushed open the door like a Saint and looked around curiously. He explained to link and King Kong, ” “This is the master’s secret room. He never let me in before. He only said that if he completely disappeared one day, he would leave instructions here.”
the layout of the secret room was not big, and everything was very simple.
The ancient bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books and manuscripts, which were scribbled and messy.The books here were not like the ones in Carina’s Castle. They were all written on a small, narrow wooden table with a quill pen. These were written by Julian himself. Not only did they contain his various feelings, but they also contained the changes in his state of mind and doubts.
Alfred saw the envelope on the table with a single glance. The words ” to Alfred ” were written on it.
The Butler picked up the envelope with trembling hands and took out the letter inside.
[ my dear Fu, please allow me to call you that for the last time.
The weather had changed. My fate, which was originally chaotic and unclear, had finally come to an end after struggling for decades.
after clearing the fog of fate, i can see my final fate with a glance.
My exhausted soul will rest in peace in the castle.
I was born as Karina’s child, carrying the fate left behind by my mother. Other than that one time during the spring outing when I was five years old, I still chose to jump into the water to play despite your repeated advice. That was the first time I went against my mother’s rules and jumped out of the established rules. That free and easy feeling was unforgettable to me, and it also made me feel that I was really alive.
his mother’s research had an accident and she had gone mad. everyone in the castle had been buried with her. My mother told me on her deathbed that I had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Victoria, just like protecting the castle of Carina.
Faced with this sudden power, I fell into a maze of pain that I couldn’t find the exit.
I kept telling myself that this was my fate and the reason for my existence.
Fu, my most loyal servant, and the person who has accompanied me the longest. In my heart, he is even closer to me than my mother. i sacrificed my soul and cut through all obstacles to redeem you from the netherworld river. i reconstructed your physical body and resurrected you.
Your return made me, whose heart was filled with emptiness, find a Harbor to rest on. Just like when I was young, you used to hold an umbrella behind me, sheltering me from the wind and rain.
During my time as Victoria’s Guardian, I saw demons that distorted the void, as well as evil gods that were lurking in the dark, ready to restore themselves. My mother asked me to protect Victoria, but I found that I couldn’t protect anyone.
War, disease, greed, and scheming ... There was no beauty in what I saw, only endless negativity.
i began to doubt my responsibilities. i began to doubt if protecting the humans and Victoria was worth it.
in the end, I deviated from my original intention and wanted to use a new method to create a Victoria worthy of protection.
this path was not understood by others, and they even had to feign civility with the dark forces.
Your gaze became strange, and you didn’t understand what I was doing. There was confusion, sympathy, and pity in your eyes.
But I know that even if I walk on a path that isn’t exactly right, you will still ‘indulge’ my actions, just like when I was young.
I call myself a prophet, but I’ve never seen my own fate clearly.
Perhaps I had gone too far down the wrong path, but the tone of my fate had already been set. On this night, I saw my future.
A powerful figure that I couldn’t see clearly appeared on the roof of Carina’s Castle. Everything was just as I ” foresaw “. I personally welcomed him into the castle to witness his own fate.
Now, he has already killed a part of my soul. The facts have proven that he is indeed the one who can save the world and turn Victoria’s tide. Victoria no longer needed a prophet, and my responsibility and burden could finally be unloaded.
The wrong Castle, the wrong research, the wrong person, and the wrong responsibility ... I had no way back. After today, everything would be Gone with the Wind.
You will face a decaying Castle and become an emotionless walking corpse.
Your fate shouldn’t be like this.
You’ve protected me for my entire life, and that’s the bottom line of my consciousness and humanity.
Now, let me protect you, Fu.
Follow the true Savior, I’ve seen his future.
It was exciting.
[ follow him, take my hope, blessings, and protection, and live well. live the step that i have never taken before, and live a wonderful life. ]
Alfred finished reading the letter, and crystal-like tears suddenly flowed down from his stiff eyes.
golden tears rolled down alfred’s cheeks, and his zombie-like skin and muscles began to return to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming full of flesh and blood.
Julian ... Julian ... Julian ... Julian ... Julian ... Alfred kept mumbling Julian’s name as he wailed. His eyes were wet and his vision was blurry. It was as if everything had returned to that spring outing a few decades ago. She had sheltered the young master from the wind and rain. Perhaps from then on, Julian treated Alfred as her closest family, not a Butler or servant.
His feelings for her had even surpassed that of his mother, Karina.
Alfred knelt on the ground with the letter in his arms, his heart filled with regret.
maybe, maybe julian had been waiting for a question or advice from him, or maybe if he said that, julian would know what was wrong.
...
but now, there’s no ‘maybe’.
Vajra, who was at the side, chanted the name of Buddha.
The change in Alfred’s body was a blessing, a blessing that was guided by his life. And this blessing, accompanied by love, would forever be effective on Alfred.
In a sense, Julian was not an unpardonable criminal. He had simply gone too far down the wrong path and no longer had the chance to turn back.
There was dark energy in the black relic, but Julian could still use the love of light to release blessings that surpassed time.
At this moment, King Kong had a deeper understanding of light and darkness.
It was the same for link.
even though I’ve fallen into darkness, there’s still a trace of light and gentleness in my heart.?”
