‎‎After knowing all about this hidden truth that kept Eugene, he couldn't help but look with full fear and disbelief. Tears already started from his eyes; blood was coming from his lips. By biting down, he looked down at his trembling hand before he could say anything noir said. 

"‎"I know you can't understand why I do this and go just such lengths to reincarnate you to end this prolonged war." Noir said tearfully. 

‎‎But you really had to go through such a tragic and worse fate; you didn't need to do such a thing. Maybe we found a way. If you ever talk, we can solve that, right? Don't you trust Lord...you? Why did you? Eugene said with a tearful expression, "More he could do anything, noir, put a hand to his lips." 

‎‎Noir said desperately, "It was a necessity to do that." More and more her voice choked with emotions. 

‎Eugene immediately removed her hand and said, tilting his head towards Noir, "Necessity, you say?" Said in an irritated voice.

"‎"Fate is inevitable, my Lord. No matter what we try, we can't deny fate. Denying fate means denying the law of existence, and my faith in you is absolute. I know you are the only one who can end destruction and make a peaceful era one day." Noir said confidentiality. 

‎‎Eugene was speechless. What could he say? What argument or excuse could he make? His mind was filled with complex, deep, burdening emotion. Could he look into her eyes? How could he have any pride left? So he simply looked at her feet, which were trembling so hard that they could fall at any time. 

‎‎"There is also another reason why I did this: I want you to leave in a peaceful era to fulfill your dreams and desires; the burden of your karma will lift one day from your shoulders." Noir said in a low voice. 

‎‎As she slowly caressed Eugene's cheek to gently force him to look into her eyes, Eugene couldn't avoid her gaze, looking directly into them with a darkened expression on his face. 

Noir confessed, "My lord, my love for you even allows me to go against fate for your happiness and desires. I can do anything, and I don't care if I die multiple times at your hand; I'll never hate you back. Because you are one who made me human as I came to understand human emotions: love, sympathy, regret, sorrow, obsession, guilt, and faith. Before meeting you I was just a lonely, emotionless monster; you made me a more generous person. 

‎‎Eugene simply looked into her face with a blank expression. He came to know that the face that he always knew as cheerful was hidden with an emotion darker than the abyss. 

Noir continued, "Now you and I are both free from our twisted fate and also from our divine promise. I wish for your every desire and dream to come true, and also forget about me; I didn't even exist in the first place. 

‎‎"WHAT? Forget about you? "I didn't even know you," Eugene asked horribly. How could he forget her? What nonsense was she saying? After knowing everything, how could he think of forgetting her? 

Noir said, looking tearfully into his eyes with her bloodshot eyes, "By fate I know Agorath, Hamel, and even Eugene. By fate you know Anise and Sienna from 300 years ago and now also Kristiana and even Ciel. 

"‎"Everything that happens lies within the fate bond you build; love you get and trust you gain happen according to fate's will." She struggled to focus her balance; she drifted for a moment. Eugene immediately maintained her by grabbing her waist and taking one hand of her. Time stopped for a moment; both of them just looked into each other's eyes without saying anything, with only the sound of heavy breathing. 

‎‎As the purple-pinkish aura is removed from both of their bodies, Eugene takes a look; it looks like a divine promise fulfilled; it's destiny. Now they are completely free from this promise. 

‎‎Noir gently pushed him away and said, "I need to go away." 

‎‎Where? Eugene immediately asked. 

‎‎Noir, simply by turning her back, said, "I don't know. I need a place where I can compose my emotions and my mind, and lastly, I'll say farewell, my Lord. 

‎‎Farewell, what does she mean by those words? Eugene thought to himself with a horrible expression, and he said, stammering, "Wa... it no… Ir 

‎‎Before he could reach her, she turned into a mist and disappeared from this place. Eugene stood alone in the bar with sleeping Ciel as he struggled to move and fell to his knees. Did he stop her? But what rights does he have now to what even he can say to her? Eugene himself doesn't know. Was his mind burning too hard because the burden of the truth was that much worse? His eyes got bloodshot; he could taste the blood of his lips. There was blood also on his palm before he could do anything to remove his frustration, a hand out on his shoulder. 

‎‎He heard a voice. That voice said, "I listened to each and every word of your conversation; it's extremely difficult to digest the truth. I also can't believe what I heard now. 

Eugene knew the source of the voice, and he said immediately, weeping, his tears turned his gaze towards her, "What are you doing here? Do you hear everything?

‎‎There stood Sienna, who was crying with bloodshot eyes; she was using invisible magic to hide her presence and simply said, "I was just looking for you."

‎‎"Is that so?" Eugene nodded wryly, and he couldn't help but want to ask her, "Why are you crying?" 

"‎‎I can ask you the same question?" Sienna said tearfully. 

‎‎Without waiting for Eugene, Sienna simply hugged him and said, "You and Noir have really gone through a lot. At first, I thought Noir's obsession with you was only because of your past life and why both of you were forced into a relationship to kill each other and why you had a twisted fate with her. Now I understand everything about your worse fate. 

‎‎"𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦? I don't even know what that word means," he said to Seinna with a disgusted expression. 

‎‎Eugene I don't know what you are going through now, nor did I even comprehend your burden is noir. Well, where did she go? Sienna asked hesitantly. 

‎‎Eugene simply shook her head and said, "I also don't know where." She simply said she wanted a place to rest her mind and lighten her emotions. 

‎"‎Hm"Hm," Seinna said awardedly. 

‎‎"What should I do now, Seinna? He couldn't help but desperately want a reply. 

‎‎"At first try to rest your mind; it's truly difficult for you even to think. Maybe you just rest for a whole 1 - 2 weeks; after that we can talk about this conversation with our comrades. By doing this, it will only lighten your burdening mind. " Seinna said in a low voice. 

""‎Do you really think so?" He asked hesitantly. 

‎‎Seinna just calmly nodded her head, and he could also see Anise with a shocked expression as she entered through the bar gate. He wanted to say something to her. But she raised a hand to silence Eugene. 

‎‎I"I'll simply wait for your explanation," Anise immediately said. 

‎‎So he just nodded and he looked at Ciel, who was sleeping so deeply that she wasn't aware of what happened here. By understanding Eugene's concern, Anise said, "Don't worry about Ciel. I'll get her to Lionheart Mansion safely." 

"‎"Thank you, Anise," Eugene replied reluctantly. 

"No need; let's go to Lionheart Mansion. The festival is already over." Anise said in a low voice. 

"‎"That's right," Eugene said as he composed his emotions but still struggled with his mind that Sienna and Anise with Ciel would move out of the bar. 

‎‎They soon arrived at the Lionheart mansion. Eugene simply entered his room and 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 Seinna, "Please bind this room with your magic so that no one enters this room until I feel a bit relaxed, but I'll open the door myself."

‎‎Seinna just did what Eugene said; she didn't even ask any question. She bound his magic, sealing it so no voice or light comes to that room. 

‎‎Eugene smiled sadly at her, and he entered his room and locked his room from beyond the door. 

‎‎Eugene immediately lay on the bed and said to himself desperately, "I just want to rest."
