Story/Chapter 46: Difference between revisions

*'''Haivan:''' ''.......''

*'''Haivan:''' ''You should have picked better people to trust.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''What did you expect, leaving this kind of power?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''You probably left your soul in case of your death, so you can ensure you stay in power for a very long time. I get that you led your people to prosperity... But to be so assured of yourself that you become blind to the possibility of betrayal... How does it feel to be overthrown because of your own stupidity?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... I studied your soul for a very long time. I know you still have some conscience, even though you're just a fragment. I bet you even understand my words.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Your biggest mistake is that your entire legacy only depended on you. That's why after your unexpected death, the entire structure fell apart. Technically, your people only lost their ruler, but it was like they lost their entire foundation. I'm not saying you should have had a successor. No. It was wrong from the start to have the entire land depending on just one ruler. If you want to stop Berthe from destroying your life long wish, you only get one chance.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''When all the soul fragments merge, and you are finally whole... You just need to hold him back for a moment. Then...''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... That will stop anyone from invading Elrios.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Oh, I don't know- Maybe I was just having fun because my boss never showed up, even though I told him I found the soul fragment a loooong time ago. Wait, you didn't hear anyone else?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Hmm...? I see- Well, let's stop with the chitchat then. There's two soul fragments left. Are you excited? The day to invade Elrios is finally upon us, after all.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Everything is coming along fine! I mean, it wasn't well-maintained, so I'll need to check it a couple of more times... but we're at the final stage. In any case, since we found the fragment, I can go, right? Oh yeah! I found the other two fragments too! It was somewhere interesting. I set the trap already to secure them. We just need to wait for them to fall right into it. I'll go retrieve it personally.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh! I almost forgot! I'll take the soul fragments as fee for your lovely train ride!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Hey! You shouldn't create a ruckus inside a train! You're passengers! You should sit down and relax.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Long time no see, everyone! But you really should have stayed in Elrios. Since, you know, you only managed to escape by a thread last time. Well, I guess you made my job much easier! I'm flattered! To think you'll collect the rest of the soul fragments for me!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Ha! I should remind you, conflict of interest IS a thing. Did you ask for her opinion? You know, the actual opinion of the soul?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Aww... It's really not my fault! What can I say? This is the White-Ghost King's decision.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yup! I found out due to all the alone time we had together, thanks to the secret laboratory being restricted 'to pay proper respect to the mighty soul of the White-Ghost King' and all.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Not at all! How could I be, when you got me two soul fragments as a gift! I'm so grateful that I could give you a hug! How about it? Hm?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''......''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... I don't need your help.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I just wanted to escape that wretched sea instead of waiting aimlessly for someone to come and save us. The reason why I didn't tell anyone about Aurora was because I didn't need to. It's not like a group of cowards would ever pose a threat. I didn't care as long as I could get out of that place. Siding with Berthe is not ideal, but you learn to compromise.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''You won't understand even if I tell you... Bethe has no choice but to give me what I want.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''In any case... I'm glad you're the ones that made it all the way here.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''So long! Oh, I almost forgot! There should be someone waiting for you at the destination. Have fun!''
