Chapter 30

"Everyone is making havoc everywhere by hurting me, now I get it! They want to kill me and make me no longer exist so Rex doesn't become a ruler! Well isn't it easy for a human to replace me?"
"It's easy for us, but for his condition and being a twin..."
Carl interrupted him continuing his conclusions.
"He and his twin contract a human twin! And the whole mess so he can't be the ruler! Well and Dad?"
"Your father also does not want my brother to become a ruler, so he is trying to break the contract between you but my brother refuses to..."
"When will the Phoenix problems stop?"
Either by rescinding the contract, or by completing it.
"How is it broken? And how is it completed?"
"It depends on you... and on him too. If he doesn't want to leave you, he won't, and he's stubborn... and his completeness depends on you..."
Carl was silent for a moment, remembering something.
"You told me I'm not under contract with you and.. something like that when your left eye hurt."
Phoenix was silent for a moment, then put his hand over his left eye.
"You were going to complete the contract but with me, not with him so..." Carl interrupted him.
"how!?"
"I do not know!"
It was quiet between them and then Phoenix left silently...
"My dear note, It turns out, Everyone doesn't want my happiness because if Rex succeeds in making me happy, the contract will be complete, No one wants to complete it.
But the strange thing is, wouldn't all the problems be solved if the contract was completed, as Phoenix said? My father used to protect everyone by isolating me from them so that I would not be happy with them and they would hurt them to stay away from them. Would he not rest from all this if the contract was completed? To complete and end these problems!!
Wait... it's been since I was young, which means the contract with Rex was a long time ago!! The reason for this contract is Rex's father!!
So... the solution is now, like happiness, Carl Smith! And help Rex complete the contract! And let it all be over!
You might be wondering why I don't just let him leave the contract... The reason is that when Phoenix talked about him, he made me pity him and feel like me... So I decided to fulfill his wish and then I would live with my family!"
His father entered the room and Carl closed the booklet.
Thomas furrowed his eyebrows, and their eyes met.
"What's the matter, dad?"
"Who came in our absence?" Rex entered with this Thomas phrase and it was clear to him that he was exhausted..
Eric and Phoenix
Thomas turned straight towards Rex who was in turn surprised
"How do you want me to keep him away from your son? He's my brother, so stubborn like me! Just as I won't stay away from Arles, he won't stay away from Eric!"
Thomas turned back to look at his son, approached him while Carl turned back.
"How did Rex"s father die?"
Both of them were surprised by this question, he asks what goes through his mind without caring..
It was quiet between them.. until Rex spoke..
Carl 's eyes widened while Thomas was content with silence, a calm expression on his face.
"Pardon ?"
The room was quiet..
"What are you saying Dad ? , is what Rex said true? You killed his father?"
Rex walked out of the room, leaving the father with his son, and Rex's exit in this way made Carl know how much pain Rex was in.
It was built in Thomas' expressions only calmness and stagnation, This made Carl puzzled, he surely didn't know what his father was thinking, and he soon showed his anger and threw down his chair and started to speak angrily.
"Why did you adopt him? Did you sell me to him to atone for his murder? Did you name him because you were sad about what happened?"
"Why so calm! You always act like I can't comprehend!! You held a deep tenderness and kept the snake away from me before! And you made me see my mother even though you didn't want it! Looking bad and the truth is that you were protecting everyone! Suddenly you hit me and hurt me and that's what I've never seen from you!! I've never seen that in you before!!! Never!!! Why!!? So that Rex doesn't become a ruler!!"
Thomas' eyes widened here a little at this sentence while Carl continued..
"I don't know what you're thinking! But someone who sacrificed himself and protected everyone wouldn't refuse Rex to become a vain ruler! Either you tell me why, or I make him ruler against everyone else!!!"
Silence caught his excited breath as Thomas calmed down, Thomas gave a sigh and then looked at Carl calmly.
"Pray that Rex may become ruler, and I will endeavor that you fail, and the challenge between us has begun, dear Carl."
He then left the room while Carl followed him.
"Why did you kill Rex's father!"
"I've told you many times not to get carried away by the details but you're stubborn," he said coldly, as he continued walking outside and Carl came out behind him! And Rex followed them when he saw them! But they didn't notice him.
"Yes, I did," he said coldly.
"Dad told me! I can't believe you killed someone like that! Based on what I know about your personality you can't kill anyone!"
"You hate Rex right!?"
"I don't remember saying that..."
"Because I did kill him and I planned it," he said coldly, walking forward without turning around, Carl behind him some distance away and Rex behind Carl.
"It's obvious without saying it! Why are you pretending to be his father's murderer!"
"He"s not human, so how did you kill a force like him?"
"Ingenious people, kid."
Thomas arrived at a house that neither Carl nor Rex knew, he rang the bell, then walked away, waiting for someone to come out and it was Eric!
"Dad... Carl and Rex?"
Thomas and Carl turned towards Rex and noticed he was there.
"What's the matter?"
Thomas grabbed Eric's arm and pulled him behind him, Carl and Rex behind him.
"Wait dad what's going on?" Eric said while looking at Thomas's frozen expression.
Thomas pushed his son against the wall and turned toward him.
"Who allowed you to come and hit your brother!?"
Eric was surprised by that and so was Carl ! It's nothing new to hit Eric Carle! What makes Thomas more angry?
"Hear me Eric! Don't ever get close to Carl ! I've warned Eren and I'm warning you now! Getting close to Carl in any way is forbidden!"
Carl looks at his father... He's doing this so that Eric doesn't get in trouble first, And in order for Carl not to be happy about his brother's proximity again...
"Why are you protecting him and defending him!!" That's what Eric said! This is his thinking.
"He's defending me! Unfortunately he's doing this for you, you idiot!!!" Carl said it with resentment and anger.
"He's protecting you with this act!! You don't know my father's reading and you didn't make the effort to understand him! You're an idiot from your childhood, rat!"
Carl received a slap from his father that silenced him..
Carl put his hand on his cheek and looked straight into Thomas's eyes.
"Why are you hiding your truth! Did you lie about this!? You're protecting him, Eren, and that rattlesnake! Is what I'm saying wrong!? Why..."
Thomas grabbed him by the collar, and he was silent.
"Okay dad, it's not like I want to see Carl's face again," Eric said with a strange calm and left.
And here is the stubborn son of Thomas, as Thomas intends to stir up a new problem with his father.
"I will tell you about my father..."
Thomas looked at him silently, waiting for the continuation of the speech.
"I broke my promise to you, I saw my mother as well as my brothers from her." Carl said softly as Thomas pushed him hard.
"Don't you keep promises!!"
"Unfortunately, Dad, I'm not one to do that..."
"Remember it was for what?!"
"Live with you..." Carl said, feeling now that he was going to be alone again.
Thomas walked silently towards the palace, followed by Carl silently.
"Arl," Rex said in a low voice to Carl, and the other looked at him.
"How much do you know? Looks like you searched a lot, when was that?"
"Does this bother you?" Carl raised an eyebrow...
"No, it's just that you don't need to search, ask me what you want to know and I'll tell you everything you want."
"I'm sorry for this question but...how did my father kill your father!"
"Actually... I don't know the details. All my gender were also surprised by my human ability to do this... Only your father can tell you about this."
"Do you think he will tell me?"
Carl sighed until they reached the palace, Thomas turned when they entered behind him and raised an eyebrow..
"No..."
"Well, I understand from this brow that I am fired for violating the covenant, but I"m sorry, father, you are obligated to me." He bowed lightly to his father, then passed him.
Before he could get inside, Thomas grabbed his arm.
"I don't see you changed after you found out that I was a murderer??"
"Not before I know the details," he said, looking straight into Thomas' eyes.
"It seems to me that you regret this, I will not change my mind to someone who regrets it."
He removed his father's hand from him and looked down.
"My father loves you no matter what I do and try, I will always be happy that you are my father." Then he walked away to his room under the eyes of his father.
Rex and Thomas's eyes met and they exchanged hostile looks.
"I will protect Carl from you" a sentence said by both of them, one of them is lying to himself!!
"I'm still the same, in my relationship with Rex with all her passion and anger, He's still the disgusting person I know.
Nothing has obviously changed since I learned everything I knew.
You may have thought, my dear diary, that when I took a little pity on him, that it would change little.
I hate him more now, He does everything outwardly for me, but the truth is for his own good, It is his seizure of the throne!
Not like he actually cares about my happiness!"
Carl lifted his eyes from his note to see his face in the mirror in front of him, raised his hand to touch a scarlet bruise on his cheek..
"This is how it is, dad?" Carl muttered softly.
Last night, for some unknown reason, Rex and his father were arguing very loudly with words he didn't understand.
Their emotions almost turned into a real fight.
At one point, his servant threatened to kill him in front of him, Carl then intervened in the midst of them and received a blow that was supposed to be for Rex, but she put her mark on Carl's cheek..
Carl sighed and then stood up as Rex entered the room and turned to him, angry and excited!
"Didn't you stop behaving as you please here! You're just a servant! Out of respect for your master, knock on the door first!"
Rex bowed softly and then stood up and looked at Carl with his usual smirk, Here's the innocent.looking Rex that Carl hates!
Carl let out a bored voice and then skipped it outside.
"Sir Arles, your father is in the office wanting you."
Carl didn't turn to Rex, but quickly hurried over, eager to sit with his father! He wishes and hopes every time that the encounter will be different!
He knocked on the door until his father let him in, Carl was surprised that someone was sitting next to him, I've seen it so many times! Professor Nicholas.
Nicholas smiled and then pointed toward the chair across from him. Carl walked silently and then sat quietly.
Carl examines it as if he is studying it again.
Nicholas was cross.legged, his glasses on, the pen behind his ear, and a book on the table before him.
He intertwined his fingers and leaned back on the chair, looking calmly into Carl 's eyes.
Carl looked at Nicholas' eyes...
"Which one of you wants me?" Carl asked hesitantly and puzzled.
