Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: The Whole Truth

Isolde closed her eyes. Her heart hurt, her arms trembled as she felt wretched.

It was right.

No one gave her the right.

But.... She ruined him?

’Break! Your life is filled with so many mistakes, this is why you wallow in misery in the Afterlife.’ Truth Seeker said within her mind.

Born privileged? Isolde recalled when she was ten. At that age, she was sent to a blue gate dungeon, a cold mountainous terrain with suppressor bracelets where she fought wolves twice her size.

She could remember grimacing in pain from injuries and the frostbite, she could remember looking for help but finding none. Supplies were always by her side every morning she woke up as she explored the wilderness with nothing but one spear and two years of spear training from their family’s butler.

Each day blessed her with a wound, femininity was discarded beneath the snow as all that was left was survival. Not even running to safe places worked as the Pendragon watchers in secret would drive beasts toward her.

Silver spoon? Adored by the globe? She suffered for six months every year from ten. She fought for survival in the wild in the midst of her family members vying for higher power and gains even from a young age.

Life had never been easy, being born at the top only robbed her of everything a normal child would enjoy.

Was she selfish? During those times, she faced monsters during the day and nightmares at night. One golden-haired, blue-eyed young man frightened her every night.

Isolde would see him rip off the heads of beast summons for Dirge and other humanoid summons turned into wraiths. Sleeping was a nightmare, she went days without sleeping, afraid to see his face.

She woke up screaming. The mere mention of his name could make her collapse.

But as time passed, as her dreams flowed in reverse, the man she once feared became one she expected to see in her visions. His struggles, his innocent smile, the beautiful sparkle of his eyes, the way his hair waved in the wind.

She was sad when he was sad, happy when he was happy, enraged when he was bullied in Manhattan. He controlled her feelings and she grew used to it but then one day... the visions stopped.

It was like life came to a standstill.

"Frey..."

A teardrop ran down Isolde’s cheeks.

She just wanted to keep that smile. Was that wrong? To make just one man happy? To make his world vibrant?

What did he do to deserve so much pain?

She knew what would happen to him, she could stop it and so... she went... into his life.

Tears flowed down Isolde’s eyes. ’I’m not perfect but I gave all for him and in him, I found myself. I stopped being just food, I stopped being just the spectator, I wasn’t part of the audience anymore.’

She was selfish enough to be selfless to the extent of dying just to make sure he didn’t become that man who had lost the light.

It was the truth.

Just then, a sudden gale blew away the fog, releasing Luthor and revealing a path for her.

Delusion had failed but it had more than one target. She definitely wouldn’t lose this second one.
