TAPGB - Chapter 126
The Abandoned Prince's Ghost Bride
'In the end, Leon became King. The name of the kingdom is Oddrian! And this time. Leon was renamed Avis Odelion.
Avis is a new name, and Odelion as you might expect, is a surname created by combining the names of Odel and Leon.
Since Odell attributed all of his merits and achievements to Leon, this is the surname that Leon built intending to put Odell's name on the front page at least this time.
Of course, in the process, Odell argued and said no, but in the end, Leon won.
Ah! Odell changed his name to Abe Odellion. However, the original name is more catchy than those names, so I don't think I'll ever call him the changed name.
This time, when I was building the last name Odelion. I decided to follow Odell's instructions unconditionally in everything else since Odell gave me one step towards Leon.
I haven't decided what to follow yet, but given Odell's personality, I don't think he'll choose carelessly.'
"Abe Odelion....."
Abyss Odelion and Abe Odelion.
It didn't stick to my mouth. Perhaps in the past, like Carcerine, he called the two people by their original names rather than their changed names.
'I thought the existing kingdom's citizens would be confused by the sudden appearance of a new King, so I decided to create a story that would make them aware of Leon's existence.
They say it will be written in a grandiose way because it is a story that will become a founding myth...Why am I appearing as Leon's helper?
Certainly, if it weren't for me, he would have died sooner rather than become King, but I'm not sure if it's okay to reveal the existence of dragons like this.
What do you think, mom and dad?
They say they plan to compile it into a book and distribute it throughout the Kingdom. No, well! Odell, why is this guy telling me not to appear?
Just like he promised last time, he told me to follow his words unconditionally this time, but I just can't understand it.
Isn't he Leon's only younger brother? In the founding of the nation, Leon, I, and even Arya appear, but I can't understand why Odell doesn't appear.
It's okay because Odell is a stranger to me and Arya, but if Leon and his twin brother appear, they will definitely remember the people who founded the kingdom as Leon and the Odell brothers, not Leon, and the support that should go entirely to Leon will be divided. He insisted. Because of that, he fought with Leon and argued with Arya, but his stubbornness did not break.
In the end, I had no choice but to follow Odell's words and omit him from the book on the founding of the nation.
No matter how much I think about it, I think Odell overreacted.'
“Ah... so.”
Only then did Lucian realize why Odell did not appear in any of the tales or fairy tales.
When Leah saw these letters, she remembered the fight she had with Odell.
'You also played a big role in capturing the Lord Castle and attracting people! What are you doing after giving all your credit to Leon? What the hell?!'
'Arya, I don't want trouble.'
'What kind of trouble is this? It's about taking back your rights! Why did you kick Leon when he said it was okay!'
'......Do you know that there are still people who haven't accepted my brother as King?"
Arya stopped getting angry and looked at Odell.
'A total of five times. That's how many times people have suggested that I become King instead of my brother.'
Arya could not hide her shock at Odell's next words.
'My very existence alone poses a threat to my brother. Even if I don't want it, what if people around me use me as an excuse to gather their strength and try to bring my brother down?'
'B-but that hasn't even happened!'
'No, this kind of thing needs to be nipped in the bud from the beginning. It would be nice if I could be known as a great person like you and my brother. But if the rebels threaten my brother using me as an excuse.. I'll never forgive myself.'
They're not just brothers, they're twin brothers.
Since it is impossible to tell the difference between two people unless they are close friends, Odell was a very good prey that could replace Leon for the rebels.
"In the end, I had no choice but to do as Odell wanted."
After Odell made it clear that he had no desire for power, the number of subversives approaching him decreased.
"I guess Odell liked his brother very much."
Leah smiled briefly at Lucian's words.
"He followed Leon so well that everyone who saw him was jealous."
So sad. The fact that Odell may have died at the hands of Leon.
The letter that followed was about the small daily life that followed the establishment of the Kingdom.
Even though it was daily life, it was all about eradicating forces that were causing rebellion due to greed for power organizing the messed-up kingdom, and spending busy days every day.
In the meantime, there was a text written saying that Carcerine was teaching magic to Odelle and ended up hitting him in the middle. Lucian tilted his head when he saw that.
"Was Odell a wizard?"
"He's not a wizard, but he learned magic little by little from Carcerin and me."
'Although not a natural talent, Odell learned magic because he could sense mana, and Leon had no spiritual talent, so he learned swordsmanship instead of magic.
Odell has a great spirit, but he has no talent. I can't believe he can't do something so easy after repeating it over and over again.
Should we consider ourselves fortunate that we have perseverance? Still, he knows how to use basic magic, so he can at least protect his body. These days, I hear news of rebellions breaking out all over the place, so the atmosphere is in turmoil.
I think I'll be leaving with Leon to hunt down the rebels soon. Since the castle couldn't be empty, Odell and Aria stayed behind, and only me and Leon decided to leave. I was afraid that dangerous events might continue in the future, so I decided to make a soul contract with Leon.
Originally, I wanted to have soul contract Odell, but Odell asked me to do it with Leon instead of him.
Well, it doesn't matter because I like Leon too.
I don't know if there is a need to make a soul contract, but at least if he makes a contract with me, Leon will not die in vain on the battlefield.
For some reason, I think my father and mother will go crazy when they see this.
Do not worry. Leon is the person I trust the most! He won't be any trouble.'
It was written about how Carserine came to make a soul contract with Leon. Up until this point, he had completely trusted Leon.
After that, the main story was that there was a confrontation with rebel forces.
Since it was a kingdom created through a revolution, and Leon was originally a commoner and not a nobleman, it seems that there were people everywhere who looked down on him.
As time passed, the struggle grew and escalated into war.
It was an invasion from a neighboring country targeting the kingdom. Even at this time, Leon mainly worked with Carcerine.
However, dragons alone could not deal with numerous armies, so they used the kingdom's army and new forces.
'Today would have been a little dangerous if it weren't for the warlock.
To be honest, I don't think they should use their power for the wrong reasons, but they are following Leon well, so I am keeping an eye on them.
Still, I don't feel like them.
Those guys only follow Leon's orders and don't even deal with other guys.
Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't deal with me?
There was a tendency to look down on the other person, so internal lights almost broke out several times.
They even try to confront me, so I help them once. Only then that they lower their eyes.
Aren't warlocks naturally a group of people who don't care about what's going on? At first, I was confused as to whether they were the ones who would bow to me even if I just gave them food.'
"I once saved a clan of warlocks who were being exploited by a Lord. I guess they were those people back then."
Leah answered Lucian's muttering. Since I only have memories up to the time the warlock joined. I don't know what it was like after that. If we were to guess from Carserine's letter, it seemed like the warlocks only followed Leon.
'Considering the close relationship between the imperial family and the temple, it wouldn't be that strange.
At least when I first saw the warlocks, they were truly weak because they had been exposed to the violence of the Lord for a long time.
Since they were busy filling their mouth right now, it probably didn't matter if they groveled.
However, as the situation improved to a certain extent and they had opportunities to play, their hidden nature was revealed.'
Perhaps this is the ominousness that Carcerin saw in the warlocks?
Leah thought.
The content of the fighting in the letter continued for 6 years. In the end, Leon not only kicked out other countries that invaded the kingdom but also occupied and absorbed their territories. It was the moment when the Oddrian Empire was born.
For nearly two years, Leon traveled the battlefield with Carcerine and finally returned to the royal palace.
Carcerine was excited at the thought of meeting Odell and Arya after a long time.
However, Leah froze as she heard what followed.
'It's crazy! These things caused an accident!
Do you know what I heard today?
Odell and Aria date each other in the world and on horseback! It's been a year!
I heard that Arya's eyes towards Odell were somehow unusual. It was both ways!
Moreover, it was Odell who confessed first, not Arya!
I saw Odell again. I never imagined that guy would have that kind of courage.
My stomach aches at the thought of Arya and him having a sweet relationship while we were busy fighting on the battlefield, but it brings a smile to my face to see that my two favorite people are happily together.
But I think Leon was quite shocked. After hearing what the two said, he immediately left the place.
Maybe he was angry because his stomach hurt more than I was.'
"I With Odell?"
Leah's purple eyes, which were stuck in the letter, wavered aimlessly.
That much, she couldn't believe that she had dated Odell in the distant past.
No, she felt a sense of crisis when she thought that there might have been feelings of love for Odell in the memories that he had not yet recovered.
'The person I love now is Lucian.'
Leah unconsciously turned her head and looked at Lucian.
Lucian was looking at the letter expressionlessly.
Everyone else, including Leah, also looked at Lucian.
Lucian stroked his sore chin and swept back the hair that had fallen forward.
His every action seemed like an angry person, so Leah gently held his hand.
"Lucian."
The golden eye turned to Leah. For a moment, those eyes felt cold and Leah swallowed her saliva.
"The person I like right now is you."
"..."
Lucian's eyes widened. Soon he burst into laughter.
"Of course. Do you really think I'm jealous just now?"
Everyone blinked at Lucian's next words.
Of course, he indeed got a little excited when he saw the phrase that Odell and Leah were lovers...
But there was something that got on Lucian's nerves more than that.
'I told them to keep their distance because they are such a shady group, but they did not listen to me.
Besides, Odell says he hasn't seen Leon for almost a month, so I don't know what he's thinking.
Did the two of them fight?
They only seemed to get along well, saying they were inseparable brothers, but seeing them as cold as today is unfamiliar.
I'm thinking about how to reconcile the two with Arya.'
In the previous letter, it was written that they were brothers who were so friendly that everyone who saw them was jealous.
However, from the moment Odell and Arya started dating, Leon's attitude changed 180 degrees.
Plus, the picture Diane brought a little while ago.
Clearly, it was Leon, wearing the mask of the 14th Emperor, who commissioned it.
He tried to achieve the dream he had been unable to achieve with the help of a genius painter.
'But when he finished painting. Leon was angry because it showed his younger brother's face, not his own.'
Besides, with this hypothesis, all the atrocities committed by the first Emperor until now can be understood.
The reason why Leon cornered Arya, why he struggled to break the seal on her, and why he extended her life for hundreds of years when he was unable to break the seal.
'The existence of twins is considered ominous.'
Leon went to great lengths to somehow erase Odell from the world.
