Chapter 43: A Man Called Leonhardt
For me, Ifrit is just a character that appeared in the game, someone I made a contract with. My impression is that he left me with a lot of troublesome tasks.
Well, when it comes to Celia, I would vow to protect her even without a contract.
But what about Leonhart, who was born into this world?
In this world, Ifrit is worshipped as a great spirit and is considered divine. It was his final request. There’s no way Leonhart could refuse, and he probably never even thought about using that power for personal gain.
Of course, power doesn’t improve if it’s not used.
Even for me, who actively tried to make it my own, it wasn’t until I burned off Edgar’s little finger that I could specify things like the heat and range of my magic. That’s why I can easily handle Julian and Engelbrecht now.
But what if things were different?
If Leonhart couldn’t control the power of Ifrit properly and used magic, Julian and Engelbrecht might not be alive. It’s that powerful of a force. It’s difficult to hold back.
Did Leonhart deliberately take the fall to avoid killing Julian?
But it feels strange that Leonhart would go that far for Julian. Julian is the one who brought his noble dignity to the ground, after all. Why would he protect Julian to that extent? For an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be surprising to snap and kill Julian. In fact, that would be normal.
“Ah…!”
At that moment, it struck me. It might be a truth I would rather not know. But now that I’ve realized it, I couldn’t turn my eyes away.
“Could it be…?”
Did Leonhart realize Celia’s feelings for Julian?
For Leonhart, Julian is the ultimate enemy. But what if he noticed that Celia had feelings for Julian?
However, I can’t see any other reason why Leonhart wouldn’t kill Julian even after being so thoroughly mocked.
“That’s impossible… it’s too much…”
The one he despises to the point of wanting to kill, and his dearest person are attracted to that very person.
How devastated must Leonhart have been when he found out?
Yet, Leonhart still didn’t kill Julian.
Indeed, in the game, Leonhart didn’t show much affection towards Celia. He didn’t treat her as special like I did, but merely as an ordinary slave. I understand that for Celia, it’s difficult to harbor feelings beyond those of a mere servant.
But that was to keep Celia’s existence from being discovered by the royal family; it wasn’t Leonhart’s true intention.
I wanted to shout that out.
“Just how far…?”
I realized I was crying.
Being mocked by everyone, having his noble status and dignity trampled on, and still seeing the one he vowed to protect taken away—Leonhart endured that much. But did he also forgive the one he hated so much that he wanted to kill, just to keep his beloved from being saddened?
On the contrary, Leonhart played the fool on purpose to support Celia’s freedom and to encourage her feelings.
Everything was for Celestine.
Leonhart just a mere villainous fat mob?
That’s impossible!
He’s the coolest man in the world. And, at the same time, the most awkward man in the world.
I have been reborn as that coolest man in the world.
“I will absolutely make you happy. I’ll make you happy, Leonhart…!”
This is a vow to Leonhart.
I will make Celestine happier than she was in the game!
