I ended up spending the night at the palace.
I couldn't go back to my lodging, but the guest room I'm staying in now is also incredibly fancy.
The problem is that if you compare it to the lodging I'm in and give partial points for being easy to use, the lodging has the upper hand, which is pretty scary.
No, how happy were you that you made Aurora into a harvester?
If you listen to the rumors that come up occasionally, Aurora was cursed when she was born and tried everything but failed. They tried to turn her back somehow, but all methods failed and she was dying.
Even the magic she prepared to kill the witch when she appeared failed.
Maleficent was one of the strongest witches in the world, so even doing her best wasn't enough preparation.
Maleficent was a witch who wiped out several countries on her own.
In the meantime, since she saved Aurora, I guess she's trying to do whatever she wants.
I don't understand.
By the way.
“You’re a guest.”
“Oh, you got caught?”
If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have known, but you’re one of the few harvesters in the palace.
“Hello.”
“Yes, hello. You helped us again this time.”
Aurora Dormiens.
There are various titles in front of her and she’s also used as a name, but if you just cut off the person’s name, it’s like that.
When I was called by the king, I came up from the basement where I was hiding with the prince.
King Hypion and Prince Sorindigas are currently going out in real time to deal with the aftermath of the incident in the capital.
Aurora came to see me since she was free.
She’s heard stories from various people, so she knows the overall situation. That means she’s not completely ignorant.
Would it be better to simply get a favor by saying that I helped her here?
Or should I deny it and pretend to be a good kid?
Let’s be positive.
A person who’s too kind is actually suspicious. Moreover, since the intention is truly evil, it is useless to use it if it is not real.
“Yes. Maleficent can no longer do evil by her own will.”
Even if she is used to do evil, it is not by her own will, right?
“I see. I came to see you once because you saved me. Do you know my name?”
“Yes, I do.”
Aurora is wearing light and simple clothes with few patterns, but according to Kanna’s memory, she is wearing clothes made of very precious materials.
If someone who knows looks at her, they can tell right away that she is a princess.
Aurora knows that.
Aurora fell asleep half a year ago, and until then, she was properly learning what a princess should learn.
In addition, she knows what people think.
Since she was a girl who was practically scheduled to die this year, many people sympathized with her. And it wasn’t just her family, but also the people working in the palace.
She was sensitive, so she grew up feeling those gazes all the time.
So she started to look for reasons to do that, and even found them.
But she pretended not to know that, and when the day of destiny came, she fell asleep, prepared to die.
She said she was afraid of death.
But she wasn’t stupid enough to not know that the environment surrounding her until then was moving based on the premise of her death.
“Can I call you Belle?”
“Call me whatever you want.”
Her expression was faintly resentful. Should she express that resentment to me? Or should she just let it go? I know a lot about harvesters.
Especially when it’s a harvester that was just made into a harvester.
“Belle.”
Aurora came to me. And bowed her head in front of me.
“Thank you for helping us.”
That’s how she expresses her gratitude.
Yes.
She is someone who knows that others pity her, but doesn’t ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) use that as an excuse to act however she wants.
Because she is weak and unhappy.
Instead of acting terribly toward others because of that, she treats others better throughout her life.
She is not an ordinary person.
Some people are evil, some are good, and most people go back and forth between the two. She was a little better than ordinary people.
She is smart.
She is a smart person who thought about what kind of thoughts she should fill herself with throughout her life and chose to live while loving others.
I thought that the pillar had collapsed and that now that the moment had come when she could do anything, she would do whatever she wanted.
No.
“Okay, Aurora. If you really feel grateful, then grant me what I want.”
So I twist it.
“What do you want? What is that?”
Aurora asks me. I don’t plan on doing something that weird.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
“The rest of your life. Do what you want.”
It’s harvest time, and now you can receive the gift of death as collateral, and you don’t have to show only good looks. Now that you have a future where you can do anything, she urges you to do what you want.
So it’s better to have many children.
This is an investment.
After puberty comes, your desires will develop greatly, so it’s okay to go wherever your desires lead. It’s not bad to live a life where you fight for power and kill each other, just like a king.
I expect Aurora to remain a good person until the end, but that choice isn’t bad either.
Because I’ve already tasted the fruits of being such a good person and spreading the word.
The first world.
The descendants of Tisha.
They were really tasty. If there were enough of them, they could even come up here without creating a separate body.
“That’s a bit strange.”
“What strange?” “Why is it that you want to do what you want?”
Yeah. Most people interpret it on their own when you tell them something plausible, but this person asks that. I like it when they don’t think I understand what I don’t know.
I don’t like it when they direct it at me.
Should I make an excuse?
No. The more I make an excuse here, the weirder it gets. I’ll use complicated expressions to try to ward it off.
“That’s what a person is.”
It’s like answering the question, “What temperature is good?” with “the perfect temperature,” but I looked incredibly helpless.
Even if you give a somewhat stupid answer, there’s not much to criticize.
“What does that mean to be a person? Since people do what they want to do, does that mean Belle wants that? Isn’t that not wanting anything?”
It’s poking me in.
It’s scary.
“Why is that not wanting something? People call me because they have a wish. I answered them and gave myself to them. I want the person who holds me to do what they want.”
Grant wishes indiscriminately.
If you indiscriminately give power to both good and bad people, most people believe that they will take a bad path.
People who commit crimes do not commit them because they do not like good deeds, but because they believe that they will not be punished for their bad deeds.
For them, there are only two things: easier and harder.
Except for special exceptions, most people do that. So, in order to increase public safety, it is not about how cruelly you punish the criminal, but how well you catch the criminal.
If the probability of getting caught is high even if they do bad things, people will not move easily.
The degree of punishment comes next.
That is public safety to maintain society. Public safety is not about protecting justice. In many societies, high-ranking officials or their children do not punish crimes because they receive money from them.
It is because even if they are released, it has no correlation with maintaining public safety.
Because law enforcement is a tool to prevent livestock from killing each other and lowering their marketability.
And strong power allows you to stand above the law in most worlds. It allows you to cross the line that separates livestock from people.
People who have just become people from livestock lack the know-how to govern livestock.
So they do whatever they want.
At that time, warmth flows into me. The failure of an immature person who is only strong is definitely conveys warmth.
I believe that.
It’s not about good or evil, but that people are not perfect. So I believe that they will definitely fail.
“Bell is a god who grants wishes.”
“He’s a monster.”
“Then he must be the devil.”
The dichotomy of good and evil. It’s not a bad method. Digital is simple and clean.
“But you survived, right?”
“Yeah. I thought I was going to die, but my body is completely healed, and the witch who was tormenting our people is gone. If I just sold my soul, it’s cheap.”
She looks at me sharply as she says that. It’s dangerous if I answer wrong here. Aurora has a good personality, but that doesn’t mean she’s soft.
She has the brain to distinguish between good and evil, and the strength of heart to stick to goodness even when she knows the hopeless future.
So, she denies one thing properly.
“I don’t need a soul. I’m a monster, but just. I only need one thing.” “What do you need?”
I nodded as I looked at Aurora.
“Warmth. I don’t want to be alone in the darkness anymore, shivering as I look up at the night sky.”
I said this with all my heart.
It’s not the warmth you know, though.
“I see.”
Aurora swallowed something before trying to say something. She apologized for being late at night and left the place.
She then went back to her room through the secret passage.
Aurora.
It’s dangerous to be an enemy.
I have time, so I think it would be better to hold back a little until she grows old and dies.
