Chapter 30: The World of Reverie: Erinabel’s Path

“The Daughter Who Tore Through Her Mother’s Womb”

“The Daughter Who Inherited the Magic Left in Her Mother’s Womb by Her Sister”

“The Daughter Who Brings Misfortune to Her Kin”

(…This. It’s that dream again… from when I was little…)

Erinabel Wonrod. A daughter of the upper nobility of the Kainzbern Empire, the Third Count of the Wonrod family.

When she was born, her mother died. Moreover, while most awaken their magic around age five, Erinabel had already manifested hers at birth.

Her mother’s death was attributed to the birth of an extraordinary infant with innate magic, far beyond the norm. The adults around her believed this.

(…So stupid.)

Around the same time, a relative was caught in a rockslide accident by chance. Whenever something happened, people whispered immediately. It must be that girl’s influence, they said.

Because of this, despite being born into upper nobility, Erinabel was kept at a distance by her family. Yet, the immense magic she was born with was undeniably fitting for an upper noble.

With a few exceptions, magic is broadly divided into two types.

One enhances physical abilities, specialized for internal use within the body.

The other is converted into sorcery to produce supernatural phenomena, specialized for external use.

Though varying in strength, the former marks aptitude as a warrior, the latter as a sorcerer. Erinabel was of the former.

(In a noble society full of awful people, this power of mine is the only real thing. An undeniable truth.)

With her vast magic, Erinabel gained exceptional physical prowess. Combined with her noble birth, she was granted the Gold-Dawn Flash Axe Arcmarudo in her early teens.

The Gold-Dawn Flash Axe Arcmarudo is one of the armaments used by the original Twelve Radiant Generals. On that day, Erinabel became the youngest in imperial history to be appointed as one of the Twelve Radiant Generals.

This was partly due to the intense conflict with the rebel army at the time. The exhausted empire craved a clear hero like a new Radiant General.

And young, adorable Erinabel had that power.

(I killed my first person shortly after.)

Erinabel then went to the battlefield. She shattered the gates of a rebel stronghold, contributing to the imperial army’s victory.

The imperial nobles rejoiced at the report, they say. But her father, as always, sent no word.

That continues to this day. Normally, only the heir inherits the family’s rank among imperial nobles. Other children receive a rank one level lower.

But with her numerous military achievements and status as a Radiant General, Erinabel secured the Third Count rank despite not being the Wonrod heir.

(A child who isn’t the heir holding the same Third Count rank as her father. That must be quite inconvenient.)

Through twists and turns, she now oversees security in the eastern capital.

Her life will likely continue as an imperial noble and Radiant General, fighting for the vague concept of the nation.

She’s dissatisfied. After all, Erinabel has little desire to risk her life for the empire’s sake.

Shunned since childhood, slandered by relatives, and serving an emperor who acts selfishly without regard for the people’s lives.

Swinging her axe and spilling blood to protect their power and wealth—could anything be more hollow?

But she has no other way to live. No choice. People can only walk the path set for them.

“That’s nonsense. The future’s something you carve out yourself. It’s not something you leave to others just because it’s foretold. The idea that the future’s already set? No way in hell!”

(…!)

Suddenly, she recalls someone’s words. That voice belongs to a man she’s been thinking about a lot lately.

Filmeria Fimirun. The Mourning Oracle who foresees only tragic events. So far, no one has escaped the grim futures she sees.

Erinabel herself had somewhat accepted this.

The future is predetermined. Otherwise, there’s no reason someone of her status and ability would live such an unfulfilling life.

But that man… Touya was the first to defy a tragic foretold future. Because he was there, imperial soldiers who were supposed to die survived.

All Touya did was call out to Alkrom. Something anyone could do if they tried. Such a mundane act. Yet…

(Even something so ordinary… I never did. A small trigger… just calling out could change the future…)

Touya was a strange man. At first, she mocked him, intending to humiliate him by making him kiss her feet.

She thought she’d laugh it off, free him, and never think of or see him again.

But that day, for some reason, she thought, I want him to hold me. Even now, she doesn’t know why she felt that way.

Making excuses that it was a commoner’s service and submission to a noble, she ended up… having sex with him. She couldn’t suppress her desire to be held, to do it with Touya.

Despite it being her first time, he led her to a climax she’d never felt in her life. Regaining consciousness was probably the most panicked moment of her life.

From that day, she became a slave to carnal desire. She craved that climax again. She started wanting to see Touya, who’d vanished, again.

Meeting Touya changed something inside her. Now she indulges in daily masturbation seeking that pleasure, but the more she does, the emptier she feels.

Her fingers can’t make her cum deeply or strongly. And, as Touya said, she’s starting to believe he’s the only man in the world perfectly compatible with her.

(Being desired so much by someone… that was a first in my life…)

She recalls Touya’s words.

“I’m upgrading it into my personal pussy hole…! You’ll never feel this pleasure with your fingers or anyone else’s cock…! This body’s mine, made to feel good only with me…!”

(…!!)

Their second meeting came quickly. She wasn’t thrilled about Amberta being there.

Making excuses again that it was Touya’s service to a noble, she consciously let herself sleep with him again.

Everyone’s avoided her, feared her. Those who approached always had hidden motives. Well, her subordinate knights are decent enough.

But Touya sought her body persistently. And, as expected, he made her climax again the second time. He even said he’d make her his alone.

(Does that mean… he wants to keep doing it with me…)

To an ordinary commoner, she’d be nothing but terrifying. A high-ranking noble with battlefield achievements and magic. A reliable ally, but not someone you’d want to talk to face-to-face.

Yet Touya spoke to her without a hint of concern. More than that, he embraced her.

That’s not a commoner’s mindset. Commoners wouldn’t even think of touching an upper noble.

(Touya… feels we’re perfectly compatible too…)

It was her fertile day, yet he pounded her aroused womb without hesitation. And she accepted a commoner’s seed. She felt a climax so intense it knocked her out.

(If I got pregnant from this… but…)

She recalls Touya’s words again. The future is something you carve out yourself.

(If I continue this relationship with Touya… could I, like him, change my future…?)

She doesn’t know. There are no answers. But even so, Touya would probably keep carving out his future, no matter how many tragic fates were foretold. That’s…

(That’s Touya’s strength… I see. I… I was drawn to that strength…)

A man bold enough to seize an upper noble like her and creampie her without hesitation.

But that recklessness might be why a simple act like calling out can so easily change the future.

This is a dream. A hazy space where she might not even remember upon waking.

But in this space, Erinabel could finally sort out her feelings for Touya honestly.
