Chương 100: The Tragic End of the Heroes
"Do the nobles of the Ordesia Empire only know how to speak badly behind other people's backs?"
The youth's voice interrupted the nobles who were trying to influence Areishia's mindset.
When Olivia Laurenfrost and the others turned around, their haughty expressions turned to ones of disgust and fear.
Dressed in a formal suit, Ars looked at the nobles with a disgusted expression.
"I still have things to do, I beg your pardon, Sacred Queen."
"Ah, I'm a little drunk. I want to get some fresh air."
"I have a headache, I want to rest there."
One by one, the nobles left Areishia as Ars approached.
No matter how low they looked down on Ars, his strength was undeniable. They had witnessed with their own eyes how powerful his strength was.
Even if all the Elementalists and Princess Maidens in Nefescal Palace teamed up against Ars, they had no confidence in winning the battle.
Precisely because Ars was strong, they were afraid of him. They were afraid that he would become Demon King Solomon and would change the balance of the world.
If in the future they could become Elementalists like Solomon and Ars, women were worried that they would no longer enjoy the high social status they had now.
"Big brother Ars, you come. Try this, it's delicious."
Holding a plate of stir-fried duck meat, Areishia wanted to feed Ars.
Ars opened his mouth and ate the duck meat.
"Not bad."
"Big brother Ars always says that… Though, I think it's quite delicious."
Putting duck meat into her mouth, Areishia seemed to really enjoy it.
"The food here isn't as good as the food you make, Areishia."
"Is it true? My food is mediocre. Big brother Ars doesn't need to lie to make me happy, you know."
Areishia didn't believe in Ars' praise at all.
How could her cooking be any better than the Ordesia Empire's palace chef's cooking? Moreover, she cooks with perfunctory ingredients and seasonings.
"I am not lying. To me, Areishia's cooking is many times better than that of other chefs because you only cook especially for me. Unlike the chef who cooks for everyone."
After living for more than a millennium, Ars' ability to boast had reached its peak.
"Fufu, big brother Ars is exaggerating, but I'm glad to hear that."
Covering her mouth, Areishia chuckled.
"By the way, where is Est?" Ars didn't see the silver-haired little girl's figure around.
"Est doesn't want to come out. She doesn't really like interacting with the nobles."
Areishia smiled wryly while defending the Spirit Seal on the back of her hand.
"What a coincidence, I don't like them either."
Took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter. Ars emptied the contents of the title in one gulp.
"Big brother Ars, they—"
Areishia didn't know what to say. She knew the conflict between the nobles and Ars. To be more precise, the nobles were very hostile and hated Ars.
To be honest, she didn't like seeing them badmouth Ars in front of her. However, no matter how Areishia tried to change the view of the nobles towards Ars, it was useless.
"Don't say anything else, Areishia. It's not your fault, don't feel burdened with guilt."
Ars shook his head and showed an expression of indifference.
If he wanted, he could make the whole world his enemy like Demon King Solomon. After all, even though a portion of his strength was still locked away, relying solely on the toughness of the Empyrean Realm Void Imperfection Physique and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he was nearly invincible in this world.
He was willing to accept the looks of condescension and contempt from those nobles because he didn't want Areishia to be sad.
Ars knew how kindhearted Areishia was, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to mention being a saint.
*🎶🎶🎶*
The melody of the song changes, and the guests present start dancing with their partners.
Of course there is no shortage of lesbian couples here. After all, most women considered themselves pure and didn't want men to touch their bodies.
Ars wasn't too interested in dancing, but seeing Areishia looking at him meaningfully, he sighed in his heart.
"Will you dance with me?"
"I? But I can't dance."
Even though Areishia really wanted to dance with Ars, but she didn't know how to dance, considering she was only a shepherd girl four months ago.
"Then I will teach you!"
Ars learned many ordinary skills during his stay in the [Dr. Stone] World to spend his free time.
"If big brother Ars is fine with me, then I'm counting on you."
Areishia raised her voice happily.
Ars gently held Areishia's graceful hand that was covered by a white glove.
"…T-These are big brother Ars' hands…."
Areishia blushed.
Then the two of them started dancing under the gazes of the people around them. Anyway, Areishia was the center of attention for this party, her every action would attract attention.
...
The party lasted for two hours, around 11 p.m., the guests who attended started to go home.
After saying goodbye to the members of the Ordesia Imperial family, Areishia returned to her room accompanied by Ars and the two female knights who followed behind.
Walking through the long hallway covered with a red carpet and lavish decorations, Ars suddenly asked: "Hei, Areishia, do you really want to be a hero?"
Areishia shook her head and answered honestly: "I have absolutely no intention of becoming a hero. If I could save everyone, I would."
Seeing her firm gaze, Ars knew there was no point in persuading her to give up.
"You are not a brave warrior or a main character in a story. In the end, you're just an ordinary girl... Don't feel responsible for all the unfortunate happenings in this world, understand, Areishia?'
Ars really didn't want Areishia to become a hero who saved the world. After all, the ending of the heroes is not as beautiful as in a fairy tale.
In his fifth reincarnation, he becomes a hero who receives the blessings of gods and goddesses, then defeats the Demon Lord. However, what he received was only a tragic ending.
The king of the human kingdom was afraid of his strength and slandered him with all kinds of bad things, so he became the enemy of mankind. In the end, Ars was executed in front of the people he once protected.
In other words, the heroes of the peaceful era were no longer of any use, instead they were a threat to humanity itself.
Most of the heroes will meet a tragic end. Ars didn't want Areishia to experience that
"Um, I know. I never thought of myself as a hero." Areishia answered with a cheerful smile.
(I hope you can keep your pure smile in the future, Areishia.) Ars thought.
After arriving at Areishia's room, Ars returned to his room.
Inside the room, Areishia threw herself tiredly onto the bed, when suddenly Est came out of the spirit seal and appeared.
"Est, you finally came out. I miss you."
Areishia immediately stroked Est's head.
"Milady, why do you fight for these people?"
This was the first time Est felt any curiosity towards such things. Especially after hearing Ars' conversation just now.
"Because this is something only I can do, therefore I must fight."
"I cannot understand your meaning. But as I am your sword, I will do your bidding, Milady."
"Est... Don't say such upsetting things, you are after all my only friend."
"Friend? What about Ars?"
"Big brother Ars… He is special."
Est nodded expressionlessly.
However, one could observe a trace of confusion on her face.
Within her heart appeared a very small flicker, something like emotion.
