"This won't be solved unless we die."
The twins spoke in turn.
"We've heard that you use a mysterious, ancient art, and we want you to use it to kill us painlessly."
"Without Archduke Berard's medicine, we won't live long anyway. Please take our last breaths before he commits more unforgivable sins."
"Yes. So, please, kill us painlessly."
Raymond shook his head in disbelief.
"Stop it! Asking for death! It's absolutely absurd!"
"Why is it absurd?"
The twins scrunched up their doll-like faces.
"Our deaths will save so many people, isn't that a worthy death?"
"Yes, Baron, you are a great hero. Think of the cause."
Raymond was speechless, though the twins might not be entirely wrong.
If they died, Marquis Durak would no longer follow Archduke Berard, and great harm would be prevented.
But it was a story he could never follow.
'No matter what, this is not it. I won't appease Marquis Durak by killing his children.'
"No way. I can't do that."
The girl, Rune, spoke in a low voice.
"Then we have no choice but to take our own lives. Let's go, Ren."
"Okay, sister."
"As soon as you identify our bodies, let Father know."
They turned and left the room.
Raymond cried out in despair.
"Wait, wait, wait, what nonsense!"
The twins stopped dead in their tracks.
"We can't help it."
"Father gave up everything after we were poisoned. loyalty to the royal family, fame, dreams. Everything."
The twins bit their lips.
Rune's voice trembled as she opened her mouth.
"We don't want to die either, but there's no other way to save him, and if we don't, he'll never escape the clutches of Archduke Berard."
Raymond finally realized that he had been thinking wrongly.
The twins didn't take their lives lightly.
It wasn't about being scared or unwilling to die.
They were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their father.
'Ah, how foolish.'
Raymond sighed.
It was the worst thing they could have done for their father.
Marquis Durak would spend an eternity in hell, having caused the deaths of his children by his own hand.
The solution was to resolve the problem without causing anyone's unhappiness.
Raymond made up his mind.
He would find a way to resolve the problem without causing unhappiness to anyone.
'A father and children like that, I don't want to make them unhappy.'
Raymond didn't have a figure he could call "Father."
