I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 81-2

“Oh, my God.” Louella sprang to her feet.

It was obvious that Mom, Dad, and Alexid were also worried. Gerald helped her get up. She heard her mom and dad’s voices outside. Soon after, the door opened.

“Lulu!” A smile spread on her mother’s face, which she could sense, was filled with anxiety.

“Louella?” It was the same with my dad.

He came in with a surprised face as if he didn’t expect her to be up. Her father, who sat on the bed, hugged me tightly.

“What kind of dream did you have to wake yourself up? How can you make your mom and dad worry?” Dad said in a trembling voice and kissed her forehead.

He felt warm and cozy. It felt different from what she had been used to ever since when she was young, but the fact that it was still a pair of strong arms that protected her, remained unchanged.

“I’m sorry.”

“No, Lulu. Thank you for waking up safely.” Dad patted me on the back.

When she woke up from a scary nightmare, all she had to do was run, like she always did. Louella felt like her old nightmare was finally over.

Ernst breathed heavily. Viscount Borto opened the door to Ernst, but he was uncooperative. It was probably normal that the dying child came back to life. If the Imperial Authority had to go forward, he would face a backlash.

“Nigrum is the truth. It’s not like the White Uroburos didn’t respond.  No matter how many times I prayed, he didn’t do anything about it. He’s inexistent. The black god that Nigrum follows responded to us.”

The evidence was that the daughter of the Viscount, who was sick, suddenly stood up and walked around with a lively face. Throughout the day, Ernst had to experience a deep sense of defeat.

The museum event also ended in a fizzle. Unlike the white snake, which could not exert any power on humans, the black snake could interfere with the fate of humans.

“Ha.” Anxiety flared up.

For a long time, the white snake had dug into human life. Humans naturally believed in white snakes and had faith. But the black snake came back.

The God who truly created this world. Was it a fight you could win in the first place? A fundamental question arose.

[You’re suspicious of me. And now, you doubt me, but you can’t abandon me.]

“Yes, that’s right.” Ernst replied in a cracked voice.

[Don’t forget what the Royal Family did in the past. Who brought me here, who brought the monsters here.] The White Uroboros’ voice was squeezing Ernst’s mind.

He released his anger at Ernst for missing everything in just a step.

“I didn’t forget. I’ll never forget it.” Ernst answered with his teeth clenched.

Because of past mistakes, Arena’s Imperial Family had been tied to the white snake. The Royal Family was immersed in the dream of becoming the king in the human world. However, people followed Logan and Leander more, including the black snake.

In order to divert public opinion, the current Royal Family brought the white snake into this world. They were the ones who started the war between the two snakes. He couldn’t abandon the white snake because he was an accomplice.

When their faults were revealed to everyone, the Royal Family had to lie down and bear the truth. Now, it has become related to the existence of the Imperial Family. In the end, the white snake won, and Leander and Logan had to step back.

There were many people who followed them, as they had no choice but to concede and stay low. So far, the Royal Family had been keeping Leander and Logan in check and monitoring them.

Ernst touched the desk.

[Remember what you enjoyed because of me. Do you think humans will forgive you? Isn’t it you who brought monsters to the earth for your own gain and for my sake?] Ernst’s expression hardened coldly.

His facial expression cooled down without a trace of emotion. They sold humans and filled the power of the white snake. That was the undeniable truth, wrong, but still, they went on with it.

Arthur Leander was chasing the monster waves, which was about to open anew as soon as he woke up after recovering from being sick. It was also an Imperial sin.

What can Ernst do in such a situation? He had no choice but to obey the white snake. Ernst clenched his teeth.

[You’re going to lose all of them. You’ll be branded a sinner and get kicked out. Are you hoping for that?]

“……what should I do?”

[That child. Bring her back. When Logan and Leander collapse, the black can’t do anything and will be tied up.]

It’s Louella. In the end, the answer was Louella.
