Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 292

# 292

292. Han Israt (3)

‘What did the prince just say? Islatio al Ragna?’

It was a name I hadn’t heard anywhere.

I wondered if I had heard it wrong, but I shook my head.

Because I wasn’t out of my mind enough to hear hallucinations.

The prince in front of me obviously called me ‘Isratio all Ragna’.

All Ragna.

This title was obviously a historic surname passed down from generation to generation to the imperial family.

I have heard that no one in the Taoni language can be given the surname ‘All Ragna’ unless they are descended from the emperor.

‘Then this is…’

What does that mean?

Was there a hidden setting in ‘Han Israt’?

Calming my mind, I recalled information about an Israt.

A laugh came out of nowhere.

Strange sights seen during the promotion ceremony or suspicious points seen during missions.

Everything led to a single conclusion.

‘Han Israt was a member of the royal family.’

I took a deep breath.

I was a little surprised, but I was able to regain my reason quickly.

Han Israt is just a temporary borrowed status. There was no need to panic at the revelation of his hidden identity.

‘Did I get mixed up in the process of growing into a hero?’

Well, according to Isel, it was replaced during the prologue of Taoneer.

In the first place, since I am from Earth, there was no connection between him and me.

Having regained my composure, I looked at the prince again.

He was throwing rice cakes on the fish in the lake.

Splash Splash! Dozens of carp wriggled in a mess and splashed the water.

“Islatio.”

The prince looked at the school of fish and murmured.

The prince turned his transparent golden gaze this way once more and pointed to the right exit of the garden.

“See for yourself if you want. The truth is out there.”

“…you.”

There was no way the prince could see me.

I won’t even hear your voice It was natural that the time axis was off.

Even so, I act as if I am in front of my eyes.

“He’s still an annoying bastard.”

The prince showed no reaction to my words.

He was just leisurely observing the flock of fish.

woo.

I spat once and turned my back.

I was taken aback for a moment, but it was all in the past.

‘It doesn’t have anything to do with me, even if I say something about Israt.’

Anyway, after the promotion ceremony, I will be repatriated to Earth by force.

I walked down the dirt path in the garden and headed for the exit on the right. There seems to be something more, but since I came this far, I decided to watch it until the end.

After leaving the garden, a long open hallway appeared.

The open corridor was decorated with marble columns and various statues.

I walked slowly down the hallway.

Could it have been 10 minutes?

I entered the luxurious terrace at the end of the corridor.

Someone was sitting by the silver terrace.

[Imperial Bastard]

[Han Israt Lv.???] A

black-haired boy wearing a shabby leather outfit.

Even if I put it high, I would have been in my early teens. The boy was looking at the sky with his distant eyes.

It was a look that did not suit a boy of that age.

‘This guy…’

Han Israt.

It wasn’t a very positive impression.

If it got in the way in front of me, I might have kicked it.

‘This is an illegitimate child.’

You can tell just by looking at the title.

Unlike the prince or Freea, Han Israt had an exotic appearance.

Mixed blood at a glance. They probably received the blood of foreigners who are said to be staying in the eastern part of Taoni.

I was just trying to hide this guy’s existence. In an empire that holds golden lineage as sacred, black-haired royals shouldn’t exist.

“Your Highness, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

I looked back

A middle-aged woman in a maid’s uniform entered the terrace with a cart.

A high-quality tea set, including a kettle and tea cups, was placed on top of the cart.

“Since the evacuation order was issued, I didn’t have much time. I’ve offended Your Highness. I’m really sorry.”

The tiredly wrinkled maid bowed to the boy.

The boy waved his hand with a puzzled face. It seemed that he was not used to being treated by women.

“…”

“His Highness Haona is of legitimate imperial lineage.”

The boy sighed and opened his mouth.

Its lips moved, but no sound escaped.

“…?”

“Her Highness the Princess is already waiting in the room.”

I frowned.

I can’t hear you. I could understand the maid, but I think only this guy’s voice was muted.

The two continued their conversation across the table.

“…”

“It’s been a while since I met Her Highness, so he’s getting dressed up.”

click.

The maid put a teacup on the table.

“You’ve come a long way, so let’s have a cup of tea.”

“…”

“Yes, this is the finest tea prepared by Her Highness herself.”

I checked the maid’s right arm.

The woman poured white powder into the tea while covering the cup with her sleeve.

‘sleeping pills.’

The boy seems to know nothing.

With a completely unsuspecting expression on his face, the boy picked up the teacup.

One-shot at once.

Within a minute, the boy’s body was slumped on the table.

The woman carried the boy’s small body and disappeared out of the terrace.

I will have to follow

Because the ‘truth’ the prince said would be there.

I went out on the terrace. And…

“…”

I put my hand on the pole.

‘What is this unpleasant sensation.’

My stomach is rumbling.

I went back and thought about it several times.

“That’s… not me.”

i was born on earth

She was abandoned in an orphanage before she was ten years old.

The only thing the scumbags called parents left for me was ‘I’ll come pick you up’. I couldn’t remember their faces, but I could clearly recall their voices right before they were thrown away.

thud!

I hit the pillar with my fist.

‘The front and back don’t match at all.’

A being from a lower dimension cannot go to a higher dimension.

Isel and Yurnet have mentioned it several times. Even if a passage connecting the two sides is created, it will be torn apart due to the dimensional pressure during the movement. The reason I had to become a 7 star was to withstand the pressure of that dimension.

‘Don’t play around.’

I walked quickly down the hallway.

A woman’s voice echoed from somewhere in the hallway.

“There is no possibility.”

“Is it really like that?”

“Isratio-nim is also the one who inherited the golden lineage. He is the legitimate successor of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“You’re not wrong. The Emperor has joined the four divided dimensions into one. If that power remains in your brother… it won’t be a pointless attempt.”

golden pedigree.

I remembered the explanation Halgion had given me the other day.

About the myth of the Taoni language. The emperor who founded the empire by merging the dimensions ruled by four far-away, ancient transcendental species into one…

‘was from Earth.’

If that blood is connected.

‘no.’

I shook my head.

There are many things that cannot be explained by that alone.

I passed the corner of the hallway.

A whispering voice came from the end of the hallway.

“Your Highness, I will tell you in advance…”

“I know that the probability is not high.”

“…you may have to be prepared.”

“Wouldn’t it be better than staying here?”

I stopped walking.

I felt a familiar presence beyond the door engraved with the imperial family’s pattern.

rattle.

Before I could step, the door opened and a middle-aged maid came out.

She leaned over to the person in the room and slipped out into the hallway.

I went into the room

“one.”

An upright voice that could only be heard not long ago.

But the voice was heading in a different direction than mine.

center of the red carpet.

A black-haired boy was lying down.

The boy seemed to be in a deep sleep, his eyes closed and he didn’t move.

“…Fria.”

My murmurs do not reach.

Fria, dressed in a silver dress, was looking down at the boy with friendly eyes.

Before long, Freea caressed the boy’s cheek.

“Where you’ll wake up, I don’t know. Still… I can tell you that your future life won’t be easy.”

Freea’s voice rang out in a low voice.

“I won’t ask for forgiveness. Resent me. You can curse me or hate me. If that gives you strength, do it to your heart’s content.”

Freea stroked the boy’s neck.

“But there is one thing I would like to ask of you.”

“…”

“Please live.”

Fria continued.

“Survive one more day and find your happiness that you couldn’t enjoy here. It’s okay to forget me and all the memories here. If it helps your happiness, do it.”

Freea put her hand on her chest.

He closed his eyes and spoke as if he were reciting a poem.

“I promise you too.”

“…”

“I will watch over our hometown. When you return, we will build our memories from scratch. This is an oath. It is an unchanging promise. I will stake my soul and heart on it. Even if it breaks, even if it dies and is reborn again and again… I won’t break it.”

Fria muttered an oath that the boy would never hear.

Then, her shoulders swayed slowly.

“I’m sorry… I see.”

“…”

“Forgive me for letting you go like this. My earlier words were lies. I’m sorry. I don’t want to be resentful of you… I don’t want to be forgotten. But…”

I He held out his hand.

But my hand passed through Freea’s shadow in vain.

This is just the past.

“Han Israt,”

said Fria.

Her voice, full of special power, enveloped the entire room.

“I promise you. When everything is over, I will go pick you up.」

Freea’s right hand spread out.

The space seemed to tremble, but dazzling brilliance began to emanate from the fingertips.

‘This is true.’

I couldn’t help but laugh.

There is a level of drama at the end.

“Someday, when we meet again.”

I looked at the object Fria was holding in her right hand.

It was a dimensional sword.

“Show me your smiling face.”

A golden blade cut through the air.

What can be seen inside is an abyss of unknown depth.

Whoa!

The boy’s body began to rise slowly.

‘There’s nothing more to see.’

Because it was obvious anyway.

I opened the door and came out.

gray sky.

What looks like a cloud in the distance is probably a bunch of debris.

Even if it is small, it will be hundreds of thousands.

“Was it like that?”

I could fully predict why the dimensional sword was in that guy’s hand.

It must be the prince’s work. It was obvious just by telling me about this place.

“…”

Immediately after being abandoned, I suffered from a great fever.

He lost all his memories before the age of ten.

The only thing that came to mind was a word that he would come to pick me up.

Of course, I believed and waited, but no one came and I had to go through life alone.

A life without anyone’s protection. It was filthy. Even if I had strayed even slightly, I would have been rolling in a dark back alley.

“Yeah.“

The motherfucker who abandoned me was right here.
