☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- In that case, you already know almost everything you need to know. Yes, the Apostles... It's a certain form of curse that has existed in Anush for quite some time. It's several thousand years old. Its victim-recipient can be a specific lineage, or in other cases, even a completely random person. Because dispelling this curse is very difficult, and if the previous target is lost, it passes on to another. That maniac guard was one of those victims. Although, if you're interested in my opinion on his case, it still doesn't excuse his actions. Either way... This curse has different forms, and Hime denke did manage to locate one of these so-called Apostles. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we don't need to look for him," she sighed as she approached Guyosh, placing a hand on his shoulder with concern and empathy (it was good that he was here without Biba) and looking him seriously in the eyes. - It's you, Guyon-dono. I'm sorry... I'm very, very sorry.

 Guyon laughed nervously.
 - Me? An Apostle? What nonsense... Apostles are machines of death; even one Apostle can cause a lot of trouble, and I... What am I... Just a normal person. If I were an Apostle, they wouldn't have... - he wanted to say, "kept me in slavery for a year and a half, subjecting me to all sorts of torture and humiliation," but he stopped himself in time, as Aiyano didn't need this information. - ...there haven't been any things in my life that would make me think I'm an Apostle. Well, except for my idiotic luck.
He looks intently into Aiyano's eyes and realizes that she isn't lying. At the very least, she believes Narii. And Narii... Why would she lie? After all, it's in her best interest to eliminate the real Apostle, right? Not to come up with some nonsense just because she doesn't like his face or for some other reason she's been demonstratively ignoring his existence all this time.
 - Is that true? - he continued in a quiet, defeated voice. - Why me again... Why is my damn luck... Beata doesn't know anything, right? What... What should I do? I don't want to... I don't know what will happen to her if she finds out... When she finds out... I'll have to be killed, right? I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it... she'll make a lot of stupid things. Maybe I should say goodbye to her... Or maybe I shouldn't, otherwise she'll go into hyper-care mode," he smiled sadly, imagining Beata, who would definitely make a terrible scene with cries of "Even if he were Akonia herself, I don't care, I won't let anyone hurt my Guyosh!"
