I’m Not a Regressor - Chapter 203
I am not a regressor Episode 203
The hypocrisy of being well-fed and the goodness of being hungry (7)
Since when?
What happened to my once caring father suddenly changed.
When you were forced to leave your sister?
Or when you return as an awakened person?
or not.
Was he hiding his twisted true feelings under a mask of kindness from the beginning?
Just like she pretended to be a Roman saint to avoid being discovered that she was the leech queen.
“…why.”
Isabella opened her mouth by forcing her lips to move.
Like squeezing.
I ask.
“Why… did you do that?”
It was true that after she took over the real power of the family, her father’s authority was greatly reduced.
However, Paulo, who was not an ‘awakened person’ in the first place, was oppressed by the power of collateral families even before Isabella came and was living with the title of head of the family in name only.
Rather, Isabella came back and trampled on the collateral families, allowing her to enjoy more power than before.
however.
why.
“Have I been such a thorn in your side? To the extent that you want to drag Chilseong in and kill him?”
“….”
“Please say something, father. “You were good at speaking at least, right?”
Isabella looked at him with a tired expression.
Paulo lowered his head and clenched his fists in silence.
“Why… did you do that?”
His clenched fist trembled slightly.
“Are you really asking because you don’t know that?”
“yes. “No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know.”
“Because of you… because of you alone! “Don’t you know what a miserable life I’ve had?!”
Paulo cried out.
“Matriarchal authority? It was better before you came! “It would be better to be a puppet of the collateral families and live without any hope!”
At that time, I still felt at ease.
Since I wasn’t chosen by the Constellation, I could blame myself for not being lucky enough to become an Awakened one.
Although it was only a superficial position as the head of the family.
At least it wasn’t miserable.
but.
“After you… after you came back… everything fell apart.”
Isabella was capable.
He was overly capable.
Regardless of whether she was an awakened person or not, she had a natural talent for dealing with people.
She, who was hiding the fact that she was the ‘Leech Awakening’, did not use her power as an Awakening to trample on the heads of the collateral families.
First, a dispute was created between collateral families using land and businesses that only the direct descendants of the Colgrande family could own.
It’s like throwing a sheep into a pack of wolves.
The collateral families, blinded by desire, jumped at the bait with fire in their eyes, creating divisions between them and intensifying the conflict.
And in the meantime, he approached awakened people who showed outstanding talent and created a bodyguard directly under the Col Grande family.
‘and.’
After that, it was a breeze.
After secretly absorbing the businesses of collateral families that had lost strength due to fighting with each other, they grew in size and subjugated them all by force.
okay.
All of that.
It was possible for ‘Paulo Colgrande’ as well.
“You will never know how miserable I felt!”
Isabella accomplished what she had given up on because she said she couldn’t do it.
Calmly and calmly.
So easily, as if this was nothing.
The misery I felt at that time.
It became a sharp dagger and stabbed him.
“Do you remember what you ordered the collateral family heads to submit to? huh?”
“…I told you to apologize to your father.”
“okay! “You asked me to apologize!”
iced coffee.
How can I forget the nightmare of that day?
The sight of them forcibly bending down and bowing their heads!
Those eyes full of contempt and ridicule as he looks at himself, who achieved victory without doing anything thanks to having a talented daughter!
“If… I was as capable as you, if I had the same talent as you.”
then.
If so.
“Cassia… that poor child… could have been saved…”
Paulo cried out, curled up on the floor.
When pressure poured in from all directions to expel Cassia under the pretext of ‘traditionality’.
What if Isabella, not him, was the head of the family?
“I didn’t want to know… I didn’t want to know that.”
It would be better if I didn’t know anything.
The happy future that I thought was as unreachable as a towering giant.
If you lived without knowing that it was actually a future where you could stand on your own two legs.
It wouldn’t have been this miserable.
It wouldn’t have been this miserable.
“I… hate you. “I hate you more than anyone else for making me realize reality.”
Paulo sobbed, glaring at Isabella.
“….”
Isabella looked down at Paulo, who was sobbing with his mouth tightly shut.
It hurt.
My heart is my heart.
Like being cut with a sharp knife or being cut with a hot iron.
It was so painful and painful.
“…dad.”
What came out of her mouth was the name she used to call Paulo when she was young.
I gently bit my lip as I grabbed the hem of the blood-soaked dress.
“I… I.”
I didn’t mean to.
I never thought that my actions would make him feel such misery.
just.
‘I just wanted to go back to that time.’
The whole family was laughing together.
To those faded times.
I just wanted to go back.
“Ah uh.”
Isabella hesitantly took a step back, clutching her chest.
How did this happen?
How did it get so broken?
“haha!”
I was breathing heavily.
The vampiric impulse that had disappeared after sucking Ojin’s blood boiled up again.
Isabella chewed her lips roughly and raised her arms.
Ruk ruk.
Dark red blood formed on her fingertips.
“…okay.”
Paulo looked up at Isabella with a vain expression.
“Do you want to end this miserable life with your own hands?”
It’s as if there are no regrets left anymore.
Paulo spoke in a calm voice.
“….”
Isabella trembled slightly, holding up her blood-covered hands.
Killing Paulo was as easy as stepping on a passing ant on the side of the road.
All you have to do is lightly hit the raised hand.
As for Paulo.
Die.
“Ha ha ha ha.”
But why?
The raised hand hardly moved.
Slurp.
At that time, a photo was blown by the wind at her feet.
‘This.’
A photo that was secretly kept in a dresser.
It was a photo she took with her family when she was young.
“…ah.”
Did the mansion collapse and something inside the dresser fall out?
By a coincidence that seemed like a trick of God, a low sigh flowed from Isabella’s lips.
‘I have to kill him.’
She took a step closer to Paulo, trampling on the photo that flew at her feet.
He took a deep breath and raised his hands high.
‘If I don’t kill him now…’
I didn’t know how he knew.
Paulo found out that she was the leech queen.
‘It will also hurt Oh Jin.’
What if the fact that Ojin took the side of the Black Star Council executive was leaked out?
It is clear that he, who is now called a thunderbolt and praised as a hero, will become someone big.
There was no way Paulo could be left alive here.
okay.
Now, the hope she had cherished in her heart has become a dream that will never come true.
“Huh huh.”
Tears formed at the corners of Isabella’s eyes.
“Why why why why?”
The shattered pieces of hope turned into tears and flowed down my cheeks.
“…our princess.”
“Don’t call me!”
Isabella shouted, glaring at Paulo.
“Don’t call me like that.”
I focused my magic on the arm I raised while sobbing.
The dark red blood on the fingertips changed into the shape of a huge scythe.
A scythe that looked like a vampire’s fang touched the top of Paulo’s head.
Paulo looked up at Isabella, who was shedding tears, and smiled slightly.
“sorry.”
“….”
“I’m sorry for being a bad dad.”
“Shut up, please. “I have no intention of saving you because of that.”
Paulo forced the dragon vein to run away in order to make her use the Stigmata of Leech.
With the help of Oh Jin and Ha Eun, the damage could have been minimized.
At least hundreds of people lost their lives in the monster’s attack that day.
People who come to the sea just to enjoy innocent leisure time.
“Do you… do you know what you did?”
Images of crying bereaved families vividly appeared in her mind.
Among the victims, there were pregnant women who had just had a child, new couples on their honeymoon, and people who were traveling with their parents as a filial piety trip.
Although she herself had not lived her life doing only such honorable things.
Still, I knew very well that I couldn’t cover up what Paulo did just because he was my father.
“….”
Paulo quietly closed his eyes as if he had said everything he wanted to say.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Isabella let out a rough breath that rose to the tip of her chin and raised the blood-red scythe.
‘I’m going to hit it like this.’
okay.
This is the end.
Lightly lower your hand just 30cm.
Now there is no longer any need to struggle to chase after faded times that will never return.
‘It’s not difficult.’
It’s easier than stepping on ants crawling on the side of the road and killing them.
‘I am I am…!’
Isabella closed her eyes tightly.
The tears running down my cheeks dripped down my chin and onto the floor.
and.
Sigh!
Tap, patter, patter.
Paulo’s severed head rolled on the floor.
“…uh?”
Isabella opened her tightly closed eyes and looked at her arm with a puzzled expression.
The blood-red scythe in her hand remained still, raised high.
“What happened…”
She turned her head with confused eyes.
I saw Ojin standing stoically, holding a blood-covered spear in his hand.
Ojin, who was looking down at Paulo’s head that had fallen on the floor, slowly raised his head.
“I killed him.”
Ojin approached the trembling Isabella and carefully hugged her.
“Oh Jin…?”
“I killed it, not you.”
“Why… why Mr. Ojin?”
Isabella asked with a trembling voice.
Ojin lightly patted her on the back and spoke in a low voice.
“You didn’t do anything.”
okay.
The happiness she longed for, the hope she had kept close to her heart.
He didn’t break it with his own hands.
“I.”
What crushed her hopes.
What was trampled on completely.
“I killed him with my own hands.”
