Chapter 38

Wai laughed.
"Tell him!? You make me feel like we're friends or we're hanging out! Of course I won't tell him! Kill him like your dad did to his dad! Anyway... do you come with me to find him or do I go alone?"
"Will you keep your contract with me even though you know that I know the end of it!! My exploitation of you has become clear to you while you are silent!!"
"naturally..!" He put his hand on Carl 's head.
"And our contract will be different, Carl! I'll be at your service," he said, and ran out, while Carl looked amazed at him.
He put his hand on his head and then lowered his head and his eyes watered and muttered in pain..
"Daniel...don't be dead..."
[My dear diary, three days have passed since Daniel's disappearance.
My father's scolding started to increase, he is very nervous..
My brother Erin seems to regret that he did not prevent me from going into their world, not as if Scott would not complete the contract here, for example..
Louis I really missed him.. but he is still in a coma, I wonder if Wai will help me solve him??
I visited Edward so that he might be making paintings that would point me to something, I was surprised to see a painting with Omega and X fighting, it really does see a lot..
I learned from my brother Raven that my mother had woken up, but she had fallen into a coma again, And she had left a message in her hand telling them Daniel's death.. I wonder what happened when she woke up?
Speaking of Rex...
My father locked him for these three days in the basement of the palace! Well, I don't know how my father could have the power of imprisoning a non-human.
But no wonder the murderer of their former ruler, I learned after a whole day of his imprisonment I learned of his existence, My dad doesn't know that I found out.
Three days have passed and I do not know my servant what to do in the basement? You might think I'm tough but no, I want to take a break from his presence.
Wai and Omega are still searching for Daniel, but no result.
X Although I haven't seen him for a long time, I learned from Way that he is also looking for Scott and vows to kill him.
Don't think it's just changed that he doesn't want Rex to be a ruler, and for his contract he should contract his twins too.. the contract of twins is complicated as I know.
Over all.. three days have passed already? Why don't we go to Rex?]
Carl closed his notebook and stood up straight, it was already midnight.
His father is sleeping.. and Nicholas is with them in the palace during this period, also asleep..
He walked quietly and cautiously until he reached the basement, began rummaging through the keys in the nearby drawer and began trying to open the basement until he finally found the key.
He opened the door and walked in slowly and was surprised by the sight..
Rex is sitting on the floor with his hands tied back, he has scattered cuts and the air in the whole room has smashed her things.
The room is messy and Rex is sitting steadily in the middle of it.
His left wing is spread wide, and his right eye is red.
He looked up and his eyes met a surprised Carl .
Carl closed the door behind him and looked at Rex.
Carl sustained a slight cut in the cheek due to the air current.
But no response from Rex.
"Rex... are you a rebel?"
"Have you been like this all three days?"
But Rex doesn't answer him, Carl starts walking towards him while taking cover from the stream.
Finally got to see Rex.
"Mr. Arles, may I complete the contract? If I say yes, we will complete it now..."
Carl was silent as he looked at Rex, the three words in his head.
If the contract succeeds, he will die, and if it fails, Rex will die!
That result they told him, in his belief that it is correct.
"What about Scott and Daniel, do you know anything about them?"
"They have already completed the contract..."
Was the contract between them successful?
"Yeah, it worked."
Carl silently pursed his lips, Was the contract really completed with success.. Daniel simply left..
"Rex I..."
He was silent for a moment, grabbed Rex's face with both hands and looked at him seriously, in pain.
He is saddened by the sudden disappearance of Daniel around him and so quickly..
So he decided...
"I want to complete the contract!"
In that house where Carl's brothers from his father live.
Irene sits quietly browsing a book in the dim light, closes the book and lets out a deep sigh, these days he hasn't been able to sleep well, and it seems he's not alone, so he opens his room door and turns and sees Eric inside.
"You haven't slept either, Eric.. I don't think you used to think too much," he said, then sat contemplating Eric's silence.
Eric walked toward Irene and hesitated before speaking.
"Can't we read, Carl is definitely busy and the note is with us.. we might get something.. we might understand how Daniel is really gone.. I don't know but I feel he's still alive, Erin."
"Has Eric changed or is this just my imagination?"
"Irene, leave all this for now... It's more than a petty quarrel, it's not like I'm going to stop arguing with him when things get back to the way they were.."
"Okay, let's read..."
........
The days went by so beautifully.. she really looked like a mum to Carl..
Whatever I will protect Carl, I must not make him a victim of Regent's plans.
Nicholas is still trying with Regent, Why does he still consider him a friend after all that happened?? He's hurting his friend, his sister, and their two children!
Not long after, problems began to come to us, And Regent began to ask me from time to time to make his son miserable for the sake of his own son! He asks spontaneously as if he were asking for a piece of candy not an innocent child!+
Eren, Eric, and Regent's threats came in a spontaneous tone that echoed from time to time, no longer understanding him but going along with him and completing this charade of friendship!
Until the day Irena came to life.. She was simply kidnapped by Regent! And he made a decision...
I won't give it back to you until you give up on Carl !
Simply put, the day I throw Carl out of the house will be the day Irina comes home.
This was a terrifying thing for me, especially since I knew that she would live in his world there!
And she was one of the people who knew how much I wished to have a spoiled girl, for whom I chose a name before he even married his first marriage!
But he controlled himself, smiled to Regent with confidence and steadfastness..
"Well, take good care of her, but I won't give up on Carl easily, you're only dreaming!"
‏‫Catherine was at first a mother to Carl , But with the many problems all around Carl and caused by Carl , she really started to hate him.. and hate him so much!
At first, she didn't hurt him in front of me, and she was satisfied with that in my absence, it was clear to me..
Especially when Eric the Tramp ended up being bullied and not protecting himself.
I smiled contentedly, Yes, this is a good plan.. when he loses confidence in the woman his mother believes in..
When he loses faith in his brothers..
When he loses confidence in me.. I am his father..
When he loses trust in those close to him, He will lose everyone's trust.. Regent will not achieve his goal if he tries to contract his child with my sweet child..
Sorry Carl.. I'm really sorry Carl..
But... be alone and never trust anyone!!
When Carl reached an age, Thomas felt that he was able to take care of himself.. even though he was still a child..
Coldly, he stood in front of his child, ordering him to get ready to go out.
The innocent thought that his father would finally take him out for a walk, but he was surprised that he drove him home and told him that he would live alone here!
It was like a thunderbolt to him and he told him not to worry he would send him money..
How can he talk so coldly to an immature child!! lonliness!!
"Please Dad! I'd rather bully the little mouse and the crocodile than stay in a house alone!!"
"It's decided, leave without discussion!"
He tried with him repeatedly and for a while while he tried with him, but his father was getting tougher and colder until the little boy surrendered to his destiny..
Finally...
The bell knocked and Thomas opened to see a child radiating innocence, who was in theory his most valuable possession...
I'm sorry Carl .. that I gave up on you for her return..
Sorry Carl .. I really don't know where I end up with you..
But life is really tough with you baby..
He came close to Irina and hugged her with full force and she cried too..
He began to examine her, but she was more than healthy, As well as her clothes are very clean and elegant, like a princess from the Middle Ages..
He hugged her again, and he didn't hurt her quite as much as I thought..
He felt for a moment that perhaps he'd better not leave Carl and have Irina stay with Regent??
But he dismissed all his thoughts.
He started talking to Regent as if they had no problems! This strange friendship charade is still going on!! Nicholas even suspected Thomas.
Thomas is planning something.
And one day at Thomas Palace...
With a smile, he commanded the servants to prepare some appetizers for a guest to come, and ordered Catherine not to leave her suite and to leave her children with her.
She was astonished by his strange happy smile as he waited for his guest, which made her doubt him, but she sighed and did what he wanted.
The intended guest, who was none other than Riqnet, arrived.
"So what...? What's the most important thing you want to talk to me about, Tom?"
"Renne, we've been contracting for years, don't you think?" Thomas laughed lightly, but I also laughed at that.
"It's already a very long time Tom, it's really been a lot!"
"Isn't it time to end it?" Thomas said with a smile.
"Are you ready Tom?"
"Yeah, Rin.. I'm totally ready."
They smiled at each other, standing a little short distance away.
The atmosphere seemed a little tense.
"Are you sure, Thomas? In fact, it has dire consequences."
"If you are sure of this, and not me, then it really has dire consequences."
They both seemed to be warning the other of him! It was as if they were saying to each other I want the contract but you don't accept it!
"Let's complete the contract, Thomas."
"Yes, Rin..."
"Don't do it!!!" This was the scream of Nicholas, who had attended part of the dialogue after entering the mansion.
But it's too late...
Behold, his two friends are on her knees, each holding his chest, coughing with fatigue and a white light between them.
Nicholas protected his face from the light when it increased and became bright and when the vision returned to him..
He saw Thomas alone lying on the ground..
"Don't do it!!! Don't bother!" Thomas yells at her and pushes Carl away from Rex by hitting him to fall away.
He turned toward Rex angrily and then to Carl again.
"Carl...that's going to...fuck it! Why can't I just say it!!"
"Dad! I know the outcome!"
Rex's eyes widened in astonishment, as did Thomas.
"Learn the score! Liar!" He said with astonishment that he did not expect his son to intend, for example, to commit suicide or to kill Rex.
"Why would I be lying!! If I'm the one who's leaving, I'll catch up with my brother! And if he's the one who's leaving, he deserves it! A useless, loser servant!!" His eyes watered.
"Do you intend to commit suicide or kill someone!!!!"
"Dad! It's not like you didn't kill Regent in this way!"
Thomas is shocked as he looks at his son, he just inherits revenge on him..
