Now, Aubrey is completely satisfied.

As a 'heroic spirit' who fulfilled his wish, his life has come to an end.

At this moment, he could finally close his eyes peacefully and choose to leave this world.

So, child.

"Don't do anything foolish."

As soon as Aubrey finished speaking, Aurelian's panicked and trembling pupils froze.

She watched as Aubrey's body gradually shattered, disappearing from head to toe as if torn apart by space, vanishing into the invisible void.

She watched as the other person, in a fatherly tone, gently delivered one last admonition:

"As emperor, do what you believe is right."

"Then, don't regret it."

A carefree smile spread across Aubrey's face.

That broken soul finally came to an end, and the last vestige of illusion vanished with the wind.

The fragments, carried by the distorted and chaotic winds, slowly rose into the darkness and merged into nothingness.

Aurelion looked up at the fluttering fragments of souls, feeling the ethereal yet familiar words gently fall into her ears:

"The power you possess is the very reason to become king."

Finally, she lost her voice completely.

With her mouth open, she choked on her sobs.

Silently watching the chaotic fragments vanish into profound silence, speechless.

His eyes were vacant, his expression sorrowful, as if he were still lost in the confusion of Aubrey's departure, unable to pull himself out of it for a long time.

Thump—

A sudden sound of someone kneeling startled Aurelion awake.

She turned her head stiffly, retaining the sorrowful expression she had when Aubrey left.

She watched silently as the crimson armor covering Viktor gradually peeled away.

Viktor's eyes were lifeless as he knelt on the ground.

Finally, looking at his frail body,

Feeling his breath, which seemed so weak for the first time,

It was a fragile life, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it.
