Roel Ascart had a nightmare.

The world he saw in his dream was pitch-black, a boundless ocean where the sun never rose.

He walked on this boundless ocean with feelings of helplessness and confusion looming in his heart.

Unlike the first time he met Grandar and Peytra, where he was guided to his destination in a dazed state, he was much more self-aware in this dream.

There was no feeling of numbness at all.

However, that didnt make this dream any more pleasant; on the contrary, it felt much worse.

The ancient gods guidance blurring his consciousness were, in a sense, their way of protecting him.

The long journey he had to take in order to pay his respects to them would have heaped substantial mental fatigue on him otherwise, making him utterly exhausted by the time he was standing before them.

Standing amidst the darkness, he slowly began to perceive his surroundings.

He wasnt too sure what was going on right now, but he sensed a familiar aura lingering in the area.

It was coming from beneath his feet, within the ocean depths; it was the bone-chilling aura of a glacier.

As if it had a life of its own, Roel had a feeling that the aura was waving its hand at him, beckoning him over.

He hesitantly scanned his surroundings once more, and after affirming that there was truly nothing else around did he finally dive into the ocean.

Oddly enough, he didnt feel suffocated in the murky waters.

He spotted a tinge of light far off below, a small hint of blue amidst this monotonous black world, located at the bottom of the ocean.

It was coming from a glacier.

Along with his approach, the glacier seemed to come to life.

It floated upward and into his embrace, attracted to his presence.

It was the feeling of a hatchling returning to its nest, delighted and relieved.

Despite the lack of communication, Roel could still vividly feel its emotions.

The glacier seeped into his body, and the water around him gradually began to light up in blue.

Intuitively, he knew that it was time for him to depart.

But amidst this harmonious atmosphere, an unimaginable pressure suddenly crushed down on Roel, leaving him feeling as if his body was being pierced by something.

He felt goosebumps rising all over his body as warning bells blared in his mind.

He looked into the distance, only to recoil in horror right after.

A pair of eyes was staring at him, only to vanish in the next instant.

“AH!”

“Darling”

In a bedroom of the Hundred Birds Gallery, the sleeping Roel suddenly lurched upright with a yelp, gasping desperately for air.

Unknowingly, his back was already completely drenched.

His current state shocked Charlotte, who was dressed in her sleepwear beside him.

Charlotte quickly rose up from the bed to examine the black-haired boy, who was still staring blankly ahead of him with eyes widened in shock.

After confirming that his physical condition was normal, she heaved a soft sigh of relief.

She leaned forward a little and wrapped her hands around Roels neck, pulling him into her embrace to console him.

“Darling, did you have a nightmare”

“Haa, haa. I think so…”

“Everything is fine, theres nothing to be afraid of.

Its all over now.”

“… Mm.”

Feeling the consoling warmth coming from Charlotte, Roels eyes flickered around the room nervously before his breathing gradually calmed down.

His shaken state triggered Charlottes desire to protect, and she tightened her arms around him.

A short moment later, she began speaking to distract him from his nightmare.

“Im surprised.

I never thought that I would see such an expression on your face.”

“… What kind of expression”

“A frightened one.

You never showed fear despite the many close shaves we had on the Golden Fleet.

I never thought that I would see such a side to you.”

“… Isnt it normal to be afraid of nightmares”

Roel argued indignantly in Charlottes arms, which only deepened the smile on the latters face.

She reached out to stroke his black hair as she murmured softly.

“Ah, I remember now.

I think there was one time I saw fear in your eyes.

It was when that monster nearly killed me in the ships hold.

You were terrified back then, werent you”

“… Yeah.”

Roel hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“… I nearly failed to make it in time.

I was really afraid for a moment there.”

“Hehe, do I mean that much to you”

“…”

Faced with Charlottes teasing question, Roel silently turned his blushing face away, which just further amused the auburn-haired girl.

How adorable!

“I-I promised big sister Isabella to take care of you then.

Besides, if anything had happened to you back then, our Ascart House would face a great deal of trouble too.”

“Oh If thats the case, why did you charge out after driving that monster off then Wasnt it because you were angry at him for almost taking my life”

“… I was just being cautious.”

“Bwahahahaha! Alright alright, darling.

I believe you.”

“Tsk.”

Charlotte leaned closer a little and rubbed her cheeks against Roels affectionately, which made the latter click his tongue out of embarrassment.

The two of them continued hugging for a very long while before Charlotte suddenly spoke up.

“Thank you.”

“… Its nothing.

Its only right that I do that.”

Knowing that the defense line around his heart had practically crumbled by now, Roel couldnt help but sigh helplessly.

It hadnt been long since he got to know Charlotte, but the more time they spent together, the deeper he found himself succumbing to her charms.

“Darling, are you feeling better now”

“Mm Ah, yes.

Im feeling much better now.

Its just that… something feels wrong about it.”

“How so”

“It didnt feel like just a nightmare.”

As Roel thought back on the nightmare, his hands began huddling closer to his body out of insecurity.

It was still vivid in his mind, the tremendous pressure of the stare and the utter panic it invoked in him.

He had heard theories in his previous life that dreams usually stemmed from real life encounters, but the nightmare he had was so inexplicable that it seemed to have popped out of nowhere.

Not to mention, the content of his dreams was also…

“You managed to tame Glacier Creator, but you were spotted by a bizarre pair of eyes”

“Yes, that would be roughly it.”

“Wait a moment, this… Could it possibly be… the Mother Goddess”

“…”

Roel fell silent before Charlottes question, which induced the dilation of the latters eyes.

Her face gradually paled as she came to realize the implications of the matter.

It was not a joking matter to be under the watch of a god, and it usually bore an ominous premonition.

Since ancient times, one of the greatest fears rulers had was to catch the attention of a god and be turned into a puppet, which was why they made sure to tread carefully and not offend the gods… but Roel actually absorbed the powers of one of a Gods Envoys!

Charlotte felt incredibly perturbed by this knowledge, and seeing this, Roel quickly grabbed her hand to comfort her.

“Its just a guess at the moment.

Theres no need to worry too much about it yet.

It might just be an ordinary nightmare.”

“But…”

“Dont worry.

Even if its more than a nightmare, the situation isnt that dire yet.”

Roel fell into deep thought after.

It had been around a month since he had absorbed the powers of Glacier Creator.

This was the first time a slight mishap had happened, so it would be unwise to jump to conclusions so quickly.

Furthermore, there was also insufficient information for them to conclude that those powerful eyes belonged to the Mother Goddess.

Even if it was truly the Mother Goddess, it still wasnt a huge cause of concern yet.

According to legend, it had been a long time since She had passed away, though it now looked more like She had just fallen into eternal sleep instead.

In any case, as long as She was unable to interfere with present reality, the threat She posed would be minimal.

Admittedly, it was an optimistic point of view, but as the saying went,hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

He would definitely make thorough preparations for it on the off case that things went awry, but till then, there was no point worrying too much about it.

Wait a moment, could this be the reason why Grandar told me not to absorb Glacier Creator

Many possibilities rose in Roels mind.

He felt that there was really a need for him to meet with his old friend and have a chat about it soon.

“Im sorry, Roel.

If it wasnt for me, you wouldnt have been put in such a position…”

A choked voice sounded in Roels ears, snapping him out of his thoughts.

He turned his head in astonishment, only to see tears brimming in Charlottes eyes.

For some reason, he felt an ache in his heart, and he quickly moved in to console her.

“What nonsense are you spouting This has nothing to do with you.

It only happened because I absorbed the powers of Glacier Creator in order to enhance my bloodline.”

“But… if not for me, you wouldnt have met that monster in the first place.”

“I only came across that monster due to my bloodline ability.

Have you forgotten that big sister Isabella is engaged to my ancestor, Winstor Even if you hadnt asked me to look for the heritage of the Golden Fleet with you, I would have still continued investigating the matter by tracing down Winstors footsteps.

I was bound to stumble upon the Six Calamities eventually.

So, it isnt your fault at all.

Listen to me and stop thinking too much into it.”

Roel wiped off the tears from Charlottes eyes as he spoke.

The auburn-haired girl nodded softly as she hugged him even more tightly.

There was a long moment of silence before she finally raised a question that she had been hesitant to ask all this while.

“Roel, did big sister Isabella eventually…”

“…”

Instead of answering Charlottes question, Roel hugged her a little tighter.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment before she found herself unable to hold back her tears anymore.

She rested her head on Roels shoulder and began crying pitifully.

Roel quietly patted her back to comfort her.

The Witness State was, ultimately, just a parallel reality.

In the real history, without Roels interference, the Earth Goddess wouldnt have made an appearance to curb Sire Darkness, which meant that the downfall of the Golden Fleet was inevitable.

In the end, Isabella never got to meet Winstor again, and that letter became their final exchange.

After learning of the feelings between Isabella and Winstor, Roel could finally understand the actions of his ancestor a little; why he chose to turn a blind eye to all those women courting him, and why he continued to travel far and wide his entire life, never truly resting at all.

It was for vengeance.

He wanted to exact vengeance for his wife.

It was likely that the frightening monster known as Sire Darkness was eventually hunted down by Winstor, which would explain why humankind never came to be threatened by it.

The enemies he had devoted his life to put down would have been more than just Sire Darkness; there was also the Saints Convocation and the rest of the Six Calamities.

He was determined to splatter the blood of his enemies in honor of his one true love.

His enemies probably trembled in fear before his wrath, until he mysteriously vanished from the face of the world.

Centuries later, Winstor and Isabellas bloodline descendants encountered each other once again, and they had inherited their respective houses bloodlines in full too.

What could fate possibly hold in store for them this time around

Roel had no way of knowing what awaited in the future, but if there was one thing he was certain of, it was that he would never err as Winstor did.

Feeling the warmth on his shoulder, his determination became stronger than ever.

He knew that it was time to stop hiding and make his move now.

Tomorrow, Ill look for Alicia.
