XVII. The future

Time keeps moving forward, never pausing for anyone or anything.

As each season comes and goes, the coldness of winter becomes more intense, chilling us to the bone, while the scorching heat of summer becomes even more unbearable, making us long for the coolness of autumn.

The vibrant flowers of spring, with their blossoms reaching new heights, paint a colorful canvas that we can't help but admire. 

And as the autumn leaves gracefully fall to the ground, they create a mesmerizing spectacle that reminds us of the transient beauty of nature.

I dedicated myself to the pursuit of becoming a knight, under the reign of the new queen who, interestingly, was once the heir to the throne as the king's daughter.

Through my tireless studies in the library, I was able to impress others by showcasing my abilities. As a result, my reputation slowly began to grow throughout the kingdom.

I embarked on various quests, participating with fellow warriors on the battlefield. Through my continuous dedication and self-improvement, I not only advanced my rank as an adventurer but also acquired new skills. 

It was almost like stepping into the pages of a fantastical story, as everything unfolded exactly as one would imagine.

When it comes to Celesty, my approach to expressing my feelings for her began with a significant gesture – I placed a ring on her finger. 

At the beginning of our relationship, we took things slowly as we both lacked prior experience in romantic partnerships. 

Gradually, I started initiating conversations with her whenever I had the opportunity, and she reciprocated by engaging in dialogue with me. 

As time went by, we found ourselves holding hands and taking leisurely walks under the starry night sky. Through each exchange of words, we delved deeper into getting to know each other.

In the meantime, the search for Azol extended beyond our borders and attracted the attention of people from other countries who came to offer their assistance. 

However, I chose to continue my own investigation by extensively exploring the dungeon beneath the mansion.

Night after night, I would venture into the depths of the pantry, meticulously searching for any clues that could shed light on Azol's escape and unveil his sinister plan. 

It was truly fascinating when I discovered that the chains binding him were forged from a rare and sacred metal known as divine metal. 

This revelation prompted me to delve even deeper into the vast library, where I unearthed ancient books that revealed enlightening information about the realm of divinity and godlike beings.

After acquiring knowledge about ancient wisdom, I embarked on the journey of creating my own research book.

During my sleepless nights, Celesty, a supportive wife, often brings me beverages to keep me going.

Recently, Celesty has begun to make public appearances, but unfortunately, there are still individuals who hold grudges about past events. 

Thankfully, the benevolent man in a white suit, accompanied by a cat-face friend, has extended a helping hadn to Celesty, assisting her in establishing a positive reputation within the kingdom.

With her extensive knowledge about the king, she primarily dedicates her time working alongside the search parties in the castle. 

This collaboration enables her to contribute significantly to unraveling the mysteries surrounding the demon king's existence and actions.

Everything went on and on.

Years down the road, Celesty found herself expecting a child, and I found myself stepping into the role of a father.

It was a milestone in my life that I never imagined would come to fruition in this reality, but here I am now, proudly embracing the joys of having a family.

As he continues to mature I diligently provided him with training in the same manner Kev taught me.

We decided to give him the name Kyle, with a specific agreement to begin his name with the letter K.

As time continues its relentless march forward, we find ourselves in the present moment. At long last, the ultimate challenge manifests itself, the final boss standing tall in front of me, marking its presence in my existence.
