Chapter 261: The Big Star Who Loves The Small Star


    <b> The Big Star Who Loves The Small Star </b>


    <i>  Squeaak</i>


    Frey opened the tightly closed door and gazed silently ahead.


    .


    Aria sat cross-legged on a chair in front of a desk.


    Excuse me


    Feeling Arias chilling gaze, Frey awkwardly scratched his head and asked.


    Who are you?


    His expression was of pure innocence, but Aria simply stared coldly at him.


    I went along with it earlier because I was startled, but I really dont know who you are.


    Enough, brother.


    Aria sharply dismissed Freysst-ditch denial.


    You know very well that in this entire empire, only two people are roaming with ster mana, right?


    ..


    Understand? Then drop the pathetic act and sit down.


    While Freys disguise was perfect, he had not concealed his ster mana.


    He hadnt expected his sister to find his hiding spot herself.


    Also, hiding ster mana wasnt easy.


    It could be intentionally suppressed to go unnoticed by ordinary people. However, deceiving Aria, hispanion for over a decade, was nearly impossible.


    The room was saturated with ster mana, as he had abused the Protection of the Starsst night, making it hard to hide.


    What are you doing here?


    Aria nced around the room filled with ster mana, giving Frey a displeased look.


    .


    However, Frey stayed quiet, just gazing at her.


    Remove that disguise, will you?


    Staring at him coldly, Aria grumbled in a low voice while Frey slowly raised his hands to his face.


    In an instant, his original face returned.


    Who made that disguise for you?


    I dont know.


    Frey responded uncooperatively to Arias incredulous inquiry.


    Fine. If thats how you want to y it.


    Aria hadnt really expected any answer, so she red at him in silence, getting ready to speak again.


    Thenhmm?


    She tilted her head, cautiously reaching for the window she had closed earlier.


    Tsk, shouldnt have bothered checking.


    She lifted the curtains slightly, spotted soldiers stealthily approaching the inn, and scowled.


    Ah, ah, Ill inform the troops.


    She pulled out a magicalmunication device and started talking.


    Ive received a tip about Freys location. He was spotted about five kilometers east of the inn. Investigate immediately.


    Aria?


    Shut up.


    Ignoring Freys attempt to speak, Aria ended themunication. She observed the soldiers retreat from the inn and then closed the curtains.


    Just to be clear, Im not rescuing you.


    Turning to Frey with an icy expression, she rified, I just want to know the truth, so I bought us some time.


    Thanks for saving me, Aria.


    Ugh.


    Freys rxed smile and provocation only fueled her irritation, causing her to clench her teeth and re at him.


    Answer my questions truthfully from now on, brother.


    I already know almost everything.


    Frey nodded quietly at her.


    So, the first question. Youre part of the Demon Kings army, right?


    Yes.


    No matter how much you deny it, its useless Ha.


    Seeing Freys easy admission to her first question, Aria looked at him contemptuously.


    Dont you realize the severity of the situation, brother?


    Her rebuke cut through Frey, who closed his eyes and sat silently.


    The second question. The limited time it was all a lie, wasnt it?


    Aria red at Frey as if wanting to kill him. She subtly asked her next question.


    Right?


    Unlike her usual tone with Frey, her voice quivered slightly.


    Correct.


    Haa.


    Frey nodded quietly, and Aria sighed.


    I knew it.


    A momentary relief flickered across her face.


    If you say so, Brother.


    However, her expression swiftly transformed into one of deep disappointment and disgust.


    You know I have been frail since childhood. I hated having such a body. So, I surrendered to the Demon Kings army early to gain life force


    Enough.


    She abruptly cut off Freys exnation, evidently not wanting to hear more. Clenching her fists, she proceeded with the third question.


    Thirdly its true that youve been using the maids and servants as sex ves, right?


    Of coursWhat?!


    Initially intending to affirm everything, Frey tilted his head in confusion.


    I What did I do?


    Its the official results from the investigation.


    Aria then pulled out documents and threw them at him.


    Some servants showed positive reactions to the purity stone.


    What?


    Especially those who went to the Imperial Family. The purity stone turned ck for almost everyone who touched it.


    Hearing this, Frey looked puzzled.


    Some servants disputed the results, iming they were false but the rest epted them.


    ..


    Did you do something to them while they were sleeping, Brother?


    Aria asked with desperation.


    Is it true that you did such things?


    ..


    Why are you silent? Say something


    As Aria kept pressing him, he stood up, and she stopped suddenly.


    This is..


    She quietly grasped Freys hand.


    A ring made of purity stone right?


    The ring on Freys finger was darkly shining. The ring she had seen numerous times in the validation ceremony was made of the same material as the white stone.


    Only one entity has the purity stone: the Church. Even with permission, only a tiny amount could be taken. How did you get this?


    The ring Frey wore was a gift from the Church to Serena as hush money after she had exposed that holy power wasnt holy at all.


    This implied that all purity stones were entirely under the Churchs monopoly, excluding the one in Freys ring.


    <b><i> The Church they manipted the results.</i></b>


    Frey finally understood why Alice and his servants firmly believed he had vited them. He silently clenched his fists tightly.


    Did they see or directly experience the rape?


    You still arent admitting? Even after I caught you administering a drug to Kadia while she was asleep?


    Some Imperial servants even testified that you raped them. So please, spare us your pathetic excuses.


    Frey lowered his head silently.


    Following the departure of the mansions servants, the attacks from extremists who had fully turned against Frey and aligned with the Imperial Family were escting day by day.


    They jointly degraded Freys social status in exchange for living a life several times more luxurious lives, something the neutral faction supporting Abraham, Freys father, and his sister Aria didnt enjoy. The small supporting faction had ended up doing menial jobs in the Imperial Family.


    Most people inevitably believed their statements, especially since the Church had stepped in to validate them.


    Even Aria, vaguely aware of Freys nightly wanderings in the mansion, was no exception.


    Brotherst question.


    Aria posed the final question to Frey, who was silent and had his head down.


    Do you feel guilty, even a little bit?


    The question weighed heavily on Frey.


    Do you harbor even the smallest trace of guilt for the sins youvemitted so far?


    Aria reiterated the question, forcing Frey to open his eyes and respond.


    Not at all.


    He spoke with the evil smile he always had before his sister.


    I am a follower of the great Demon King.


    Would you like to join me in setting the world aze, Aria?


    A heavy silence lingered after Freys words.


    You could have a high position


    In the following quiet, Frey smiled and said.


    <i>  p!</i>


    Freys head snapped back.


    Scumbag


    Facing him was Aria, tears streaming down her eyes.


    Youre not my flesh and blood anymore.


    Hmm.


    I am severing our family ties forever, Frey Raon Starlight.


    Aria stood up and looked down at Frey.


    No, from now on, youre just Frey.''


    She shouted at Frey, who was still holding his cheek.


    As the acting head of the Starlight family, I am removing you from our family register today.


    .


    You are no longer a noble. Youre just amoner.


    Frey smiled slightly at her words.


    Dont ever set foot in the mansion again. Following the Order handed down in the family, I decree a permanent banishment for you.


    Unaware of his smile, Aria gathered ster mana while wiping away her tears.


    And


    Are you trying to kill me, Aria?


    Before she knew it, Aria had conjured numerous weapons made of ster mana, all aimed at Frey.


    Really?


    Each one was sharp, potentially lethal magic.


    I-I wont kill you I will make you live as amoner and suffer as much as the evil deeds youve done


    Aria maintained her firm stance, holding her magic in ce.


    So, are you trying to kill me?


    Eek!


    As Frey stood and walked toward her, she readied her magic.


    Youll leave me half-dead and deliver me to the Church or the Imperial Family?


    I-Im warning you donte any closer.


    Just kill me now, why dont you?


    Donte any closer!!


    Watching his sister step back in disgust, Frey smirked bitterly. He then started to lift the evil energy embedded in his ck left arm.


    Why dont you join me in burning the world


    Donte any closer!!


    At that moment, her ster mana exploded in all directions.


    Cough, cough


    Thrown against the wall by the shockwave, Frey clutched his heart and quickly approached Aria.


    Whew.


    She had fainted due to the aftermath of her ster mana exploding.


    Silly girl.


    Having lost control, she caused a mana outburst.


    Or perhaps she instinctively detonated all attacks aimed at Frey.


    Which one it was, no one could know for sure.


    Im sorry, Aria.


    It took him a while to escape his Viinization, and he carefully lifted her, holding her in his arms, murmuring in a trembling voice.


    And also, thank you


    His eyes shook intensely as he struggled to prevent the Viinization from bursting out.


    You finally dont have to worry about me.


    That day marked the first time Aria stopped worrying about Frey.


    Its such a relief


    Arias survival rate in the Fourth Ordeal was nearly zero percent.


    Isolet Ill try to save her just hang on


    Aria was the sole surviving blood rtive and the one who vividly remembered the face of their long-deceased mother.


    Freys face showed only joy at the thought of saving her.


    Ill protect you, no matter what.


    He pressed his face against his sisters cheek, whom he hadnt seen in a while.


    I love you, my sister.


    After receiving the prophecy, he whispered the heartfelt words he had never said before and gentlyid her on the chair.


    His eyes flickered slightly, but no tears fell.


    Ill put an end to everything and then resurrect immediately to ensure you get a happy ending.


    Frey, well aware of how those in the Third Ordeal often crumbled, muttered with determination and left the room.


    I promise.


    And then, silence fell.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile


    This is getting reallyplicated Even if the scenario ends, you might not be able to resurrect immediately, you know?


    Possessed, the Sun God observed the scene quietly from the next room, holding her head and murmuring nkly.


    W-What to do Its such a crucial matter; merely mentioning it could obliterate my divinity H-How do I convey this to them


    Consequently, the innocent pdins hair began to tear off bit by bit.


    Ugh


    The Sun God, who hated dismal situations unlike his sister, continued groaning.<hr>
