Melzri push him with her hands gently and take a bit distance from him and she sit at a small distance from him besides caera. she let out deep sighed while scratching her head in annoyance.
" It'll be a endless war when her highness also can't guarantee her life and then how could I guarantee my own life? " Melzri said bitterly and then admitted " that's also right I lied to you that I'm weaker. I also have the three divinity like yours fear, wrath and destruction. The crystal embedded in my chest it's given by her highness, Her fear divinity transfer to me and the other two divinity I created myself to raise my divine powers.
Eugene just stayed silent after this horrific words coming from her lips. he clutched his fist tightly to control his whirlpool of wrenching emotions that burdening him and even piercing him inside but he maintain a fake mask to steadied his emotions.
" The bond that's I shared with her highness is so strong that if she died" She paused for a breath " I also will die at the same time " Melzri said with a sad smile and tearful expression.
Vermouth and others left utterly stunned by hearing this another astonished revelation. Maybe they didn't know much about noir and melzri bond but this... they didn't expected even in their dreams. Could it really called a bond? Or a cursed fate of theirs that bond them together.
Eugene wasn't surprised by this heart wrenching words. he already thought something similar when he saw noir's emotions within melzri eyes but that's not completely true melzri and noir's emotions are aligned with each other.
Eugene let out a shaky sigh and stared at her tearful face. He never saw her like that also he understand why noir and melzri didn't him about this hidden revelation.
Melzri wiped her tears calmly and took a deep ragged breath to maintain her hidden emotions and her cold and sharp face.
" So My Eugene! that's a brutal truth our fate is cursed. we don't have any choice but to fight against those outer beings bastards but you're different you won't die if her highness die in the battle against choas, So it's better you remain in world peacefully rather than to die fighting those things " Melzri desperately pleaded.
Eugene closed her eyes not want to listen her manipulative nonsense anymore, he didn't care whether the fate is cursed or not? He knew better than anyone he can't even sleep properly then how could be live peacefully? His whole life will became a nightmare for him if noir and melzri didn't with him.
he opened his eyes that brimmed with tears. He felt a turmoil of emotions while stared at her with bloodshot eyes and forced a fake bitter smile.
" I didn't care about your and noir's cursed fate! and I don't even feared of death." Eugene snapped and then admitted " It's not possible for me to live in peace I already said many times didn't I? just like you and noir's cared for me I also do the same, especially noir she always did too much for me but I didn't do a thing for her "
But still Eugene please understand... Before melzri could finish her sentence.
A voice interrupted her and said in a saddened voice " [ let him be melzri our efforts will be futile against him. he don't want to be in debt of my care for him." ]
Eugene and everyone within the grand Hall who had sat with him startled by the sudden interrupted voice of someone and even melzri didn't expect this to happen. they all knew who's voice this is.. and look around their surrounding but can't see her like that's just a illusion or their imaginative voice she can't be here right? .
[ " My darling don't look so stunned. I'm not here and it's was just my voice to contact you" A voice said teasingly and then accused ] "[ I already listened your conversation through melzri. At first I want to apologize you that's I hidden this revelation from you, what I can do? it's difficult for me to explain such things so please don't hate me. whatever melzri had said it's undeniably true. ]
Eugene just stayed while biting his lips hardly. he desperately wanted to say something in reply but he can't think of anything to reply.
Melzri and others also silently listen to her words without muttering a single a word.
[ " Please don't say anything! there is no need for a verbal conversation. I"m well aware of your deep and sincere emotions towards me. " ] Noir pleaded then paused for a breath and then encourage them " [ this is what called life whether is cursed or not. you need to move on rather than to felt weak and despair against your worst fear and collective failures it's better to strike back, stand up and fight desperately to achieve victory against your fate and despair. ]
Eugene just silently absorbed her encouraging words and did a slight nod to admit.
Melzri sharply nodded her head, Vermouth and others hesitated for a moment but also nodded alongside melzri goddess.
[" I'm not here for some kind of lecture or something? Because this is my own thoughts on life. Noir said with a giggle and then prompted " ][I won't stop you my darling to take participate in the upcoming war. Melzri already tried her best to convinced you but it's became irrevocably. Now that I thought it's not possible for me to stop you at the first place, after all, you're the God of war. War itself is your existence just like I can't deny my existence it's the same for you as well. ]
After this response, Eugene can't help but let out a unconsciously bitter laugh.
" I'm currently in the meeting with the seven pillars, too much had happened in just three weeks didn't it? I became a myth, caera successfully born, my worshippers who some are alive, while others on the verge of death and some of them already had died." Noir declared firmly and then paused for a breath and said sadly " I can't save someone you already had died but it's still painful to bear such a thing as a goddess to hear about yours worshippers dead.
Eugene calmly listen to her sad voice, while lowered his gaze to the marble floor he can't imagine what noir had going through right now.
'Great powers required great responsibility', just a one of the popular phrase that's people usually murmer about but that's also true how strong who"ll became the burden on your shoulders will also tremendously increase."Noir said solemnly and then admitted " ... in a war too many things need to bear death of your soldiers, suffering, painful desperate cries, destruction, despair, fear of death, fear of your failures despite everything else I know my darling you can handle such things because you're accustomed to war.
Eugene turned his gaze upwards with a bewildered expression at the ceiling of the grand Hall. It's a just a voice there is not her presence not even in hologram voice call. he quietly nodded his head again.
