However, just the day before Aurelion was about to die,
The Queen summoned Grand Duke Clement, also known as Victor.
The two held a private conversation in the Queen's bedchamber all night, and no one outside knew what they were discussing.
However, it is said that the Queen intended to pass the throne to Victor, but Victor refused.
Because when Victor came out, he immediately summoned all the nobles and announced to them in public:
“I will not inherit the throne as the new emperor of the empire, and the imperial family will never be named after Clevina.”
"If you truly need to designate a ruler to protect the empire, you may use my name, but I will not participate in politics."
"But you must remember, as long as I live, this empire will remain the empire of Aurelion."
Even if Aurelion is dead.
Viktor's firm stance won the support of countless people.
Therefore, after Aurelion's death, the Empire had no more emperors.
The empire remains the empire, and even the throne remains unchanged in its original place.
However, there was no one left worthy of sitting in that position.
Even Aurelion's two surviving brothers are not allowed to sit on it.
Even if they have nominal inheritance rights.
After Aurelion's death, Viktor could no longer find a smile on his face.
He even began to hope that he could leave this world before them.
It would be better to be free of all ties from the start.
That way, I won't have to suffer so much internally.
But time will not stop because of Viktor's thoughts; it will continue to pass second by second.
No one in this world could end his life, and his lifespan was exceptionally long.
Many years later, people couldn't even see a single wrinkle on Viktor's face.
Thus, the pain, like a raging fire, intensified as the people around Viktor aged and passed away one by one.
The searing pain pierced his heart.
At all times.
Ultimately, Erica also failed to surpass Victor, and her life ended at becoming a fourth-tier mage.
Gwen was the one who lived the longest among them.
As a knight, she always trained diligently.
Therefore, despite her advanced age, she does not appear old.
But she was happy; when she died, she leaned on Viktor's shoulder.
That's what she said.
"A long time ago, I felt inferior because I thought I was not good enough for you."
"I can't even believe that you liked me back then, and I still can't believe it now."
But the greatest blessing in life is when the person you love also reciprocates with deep affection.
That's what Gwen was thinking.
Therefore, she was very happy that she could accompany Viktor through the rest of his life.
Although she could no longer accompany Viktor for the rest of his life.
"But I am already content."
"However, I still have one regret, which is that I was unable to leave you with a child."
In order to give birth to Victor's child, Gwen tried countless methods.
She tried every remedy imaginable, whether medically proven or unproven.
He even talked to Lia about it, asking someone to cast a spell on her.
But all these efforts were in vain.
Eventually, she began to waver and wonder if she had some kind of illness.
But she had also secretly checked and found that she was fine.
Could it be Viktor...?
However, it's no use thinking about these things now.
Gwen leaned on Viktor's shoulder, gazing into the distance.
Gazing out the window at the fiery red sunset bisected by the mountain peaks, and looking at the crimson sea of clouds on the horizon,
Her eyes were full of hope, but also revealed a deep sense of melancholy.
Until the sun sets behind the mountains and its light disappears,
She felt no pain and did not cry.
This was the last wish she made in this lifetime.
"Next life."
"I still want to marry you."
...
The environment was quiet and spacious.
The mansion was enormous, and the servants came and went.
Despite the presence of voices around him, Viktor felt an extreme loneliness.
Yes.
There was no one else by his side.
Victor silently left the mansion and began searching for people he might still recognize.
He traveled to the Royal Academy of Magic, witnessing the familiar academy grow even more magnificent and imbued with wisdom.
The students, brimming with youthful energy, moved about the college with smiles on their faces.
He was trying to find a professor named Hennie here.
But the staff told him,
Professor Henney passed away more than a decade ago.
But Victor knew that demons could not die, so he searched for a long time.
Ultimately, he found a 'Henry' outside the Empire.
But that Henny was no longer the Henny he knew.
Her appearance was different, her figure was different, and even her name was no longer 'Henni'.
This lustful demon, which belonged to him, lived his entire life like an ordinary person, reaching the limit of human lifespan, because he had not received love for a long time.
After her death, she became a new demon of lust.
That was no longer Henney; Victor had ended that demon's life with his own hands.
With that, Viktor had no more attachments in this world.
In the end, the so-called perfect ending was simply impossible to achieve.
This world no longer has any reason to continue existing, so...
