Chapter 136
"The Overseer serves His Majesty the Emperor, but it’s an unofficial position...."
I explained calmly.
Giselle listened in utter silence, as if she had even stopped breathing. Every time my words trailed off, the sound of wind and rain hammered against the building.
"...In the end, I ended up becoming a spy meant to bring down the Custoria family and the military. This plan probably started when I first entered the Imperial Guard as a cadet."
It must have started when I used ballistic control techniques that I had never learned. Whether it was Emperor Yuri Accretia or Kinuan, they must have been watching me closely since that moment.
"Luka, you didn’t betray your father, did you?"
Giselle clenched her fists and placed them on her knees as she spoke. I took a moment to gather my thoughts before responding.
"In the world we live in now, arguing over who betrayed and deceived whom is meaningless. The only thing that matters is whether something benefits me. Looking back, Hemillas never cared whether I deceived him or not. What truly mattered to him was whether the card named ‘Luka’ was useful to him. It wasn’t even a situation where he could feel betrayed or not. Here, everyone is deceiving someone."
For a brief moment, I felt as if fireworks were exploding inside my head.
Twitch.
My eyelids didn’t just blink—they trembled. Speaking the words out loud made me realize that my thoughts and perspective had suddenly aligned with those of the monsters.
