Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 042. well

From the moment Baron Odd Haken confirmed the arrival of Aaron’s party through the window, he had been pacing in front of the office door.

“Come in.”

As soon as he heard a knock, he gave permission to visit.

Soon the door opened and those who had been waiting for so long entered.

“I’m home. father.”

“Forgive me for being late.”

Aaron and Zeke bowed politely.

The three-day forced march was dusty on both sides, but even that was admirable in the baron’s eyes.

“It is the return of the heroes!”

The baron smiled happily and hugged them both.

He had already heard the whole story from the Dwarf who visited the estate.

Dealing with defectors impersonating Odd Haken and rescuing the dwarves who fell into traps.

He destroyed the black magic stone hidden in Agni’s temple and bravely entered the territory occupied by the demons.

And even subjugating him with his wits.

I couldn’t even imagine what my sons, who hadn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet, had accomplished.

It’s a shame because the messenger brought several pieces of evidence. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have believed even the words of a dwarf who couldn’t lie.

“Hero, that’s an exaggeration.”

“You guys did something that even the subjugation party couldn’t do a long time ago, what are you saying if that’s not a hero? hahahaha!”

“Please take me out. father. In fact, brother Aaron did everything.”

Zeke smiled shyly.

In terms of contribution, Raast and Dwarves are much higher, but being treated as a hero just because they are brothers with Aaron was embarrassing.

“Zeke. say that Didn’t you do a great job too?”

The Baron ruffled Zeke’s hair.

He knew what Zeke had done to save Leah.

As a father, I couldn’t help but be happy that he, who had been a stubborn idiot until his departure, had returned as a full-fledged warrior.

“If it weren’t for you, another catastrophe would have struck the West. Both of you should be proud of yourself.”

The Baron put his hands on the shoulders of his two sons and their eyes met.

Aaron and Zeke laughed and put their mouths together.

“I will keep that in mind. father.”

* * *

“Whoa… … .”

After a while. In front of an ornately decorated door.

Zeke let out a sigh with a stiff face.

Mother, Janice’s room.

I thought that there was no point in worrying for a long time, so I came here once, but when I came, I couldn’t easily knock on the door.

To him, Zenith was like the sky.

If he spoke, he had to obey, otherwise severe punishment followed.

Since everything was wrapped up in the words of education and discipline, no one stopped it.

Even his father, Kane.

At first she thought her father had no affection for her, but that was not the case.

His maternal grandfather, Earl Arnin, wanted Zeke to grow up with his mother’s education.

Because of this, the baron could not exert great influence over his son.

The situation did not change even when I realized this fact after growing my head.

He was still under the care of his mother, and his father could not shake off the pressure from his mother.

It was an adult thing.

‘We are Odd Haken. Not Arnin.’

These were the words Aaron told him before coming here.

A short but penetrating word.

Zeke made up his mind and knocked on the door.

“mother. That’s me.”

“Come in.”

The same answer came back as when I knocked on my father’s office.

When I went inside, Janice was sitting on the sofa without taking off the clothes she was wearing when she met me earlier.

Without even looking at Zeke, she pointed across the street.

Zeke sat down in front of her without saying a word.

“What happened?”

“… … If you’re talking about my older brother’s assassination plan, it failed.”

“Son. I saw that angel alive.”

Janice rubbed her temple with one hand as if she had a headache.

“What I’m wondering is why do you call that heavenly bastard brother? Did he catch a weakness? Or have you been threatened? Come on, tell me.”

“Neither one. Calling you big brother is purely my will.”

“… … Are you serious?”

“yes.”

Zeke said firmly.

Janice’s chin trembled in anger and she squeezed the veins on her forehead.

“Let’s hear why. How did you become so broken?”

“I am not broken… … .”

“Shut up and tell me why!”

Janice shouted loudly and threw the fan.

The half-open fan flew off and landed on Zeke’s forehead.

Zeke sighed briefly and picked up the fan.

“You saved my life.”

“Save my life? Who is that angel?”

“yes.”

Zeke nodded and explained the situation at the time.

On the way to Jakeline’s estate, he met a twin-headed ogre.

Viktor threw him into Ogre Bob and ran away.

Until Aaron risked his life and ran to save him.

“That heinous thing has conspired well.”

However, even after hearing the story, Janice’s expression did not change.

“That angel brought in monsters to kill you and Viktor. Then Viktor ran away without dying, so he saved you in a hurry. Do you still not know?”

“It wasn’t my mother, Judge, or older brother who conspired.”

“… … What did you just say?”

Janice jumped up from her seat.

It was clear that his face was flushed with anger.

But Zeke did not back down.

“My older brother is not someone who will covet the position of head of household or be greedy for power. So stop now.”

“Huh, are you giving me orders?”

“It is a request, not an order. I am also saying this for my mother… … .”

slam!

Zeke’s face turned to the side.

Janice squeezed her tingling hands tightly and glared at her son.

“You, how could you do this to me? How much effort have I put in for you… … .”

“Could you call it an effort to punish you before you can even walk, and locking you up in the count’s family for 10 years in the name of education?”

“What do you know… … .”

“I know enough now.”

Zeke sat firmly in his seat and glared at her.

It’s a markedly different look from the past, when the mother quickly withdrew when she got angry.

Janice’s eyes were stained with bewilderment.

“I know that my mother and father had an arranged marriage. I know that Count Arnin ordered me to be brought up here. I know my mother treated me harshly for that.”

Zeke spoke calmly.

lang syne. The first day I visited the Count’s family.

He clearly remembered the conversation between his mother and his maternal grandfather.

[-I don’t know Kane, but we must have Zeke in our hands.]

[-Is it really okay? Even when I brought him this time, he was very opposed to it.]

[-Do you love the baron?]

[-yes?]

[-I asked if you love your husband.]

[-yes. i love you.]

[-Then you should listen to me even more. I didn’t give you to love.]

[-… … .]

[-If you follow my words, no one will get hurt. Do you understand?]

[-… … yes. father.]

In front of the Count, Janice was like a rabbit in a tiger’s mouth.

A prey whose head would break if the slightest force was applied to its jaws.

When I think of that time, my body trembles.

“How do you remember that? When I couldn’t even speak properly… … .”

Janice covered her mouth in disbelief.

At that time, Zeke was only three years old.

I was too young to understand the conversation, so I didn’t pay much attention to it, but I remembered it without making a mistake.

“Because of fear.”

Zeke continued.

The eyes of the count looked down from above as if it was your turn next.

I didn’t understand the meaning of the conversation I had with my mother, but thanks to that kind look, the contents of the conversation were imprinted in my head.

“I’ve been wanting to say this for quite some time. But I didn’t have the courage to do that.”

“… … you don’t know anything You can’t even tell.”

Janice’s legs gave out and she sat down on the sofa.

Zeke was no longer the stupid boy she knew.

It broke the egg that was tightly wrapped to prevent it from coming out.

“mother. I have been living as Arnin, not Oddhaken. Even your mother knows that this is wrong.”

“Sometimes there are times when you have to go beyond knowing. I don’t know what Aaron told you… … .”

“My older brother only helped me to make the right choice, but never forced me.”

“… … Can’t you come back like before even thinking of this mother? You don’t know the Count well. If they knew I had failed, they would use their hands.”

Janice’s tone changed to quiet.

Now you realize that getting angry won’t change anything.

“I am not afraid. mother.”

“Zeke.”

“I know how much my mother did to protect me and my father. But you don’t have to do that anymore.”

Zeke got up from the sofa.

And with a calm face, he returned the debt to Janice.

“From now on, I will protect my mother.”

* * *

“wow! Can I really stay here?”

Leah looked around her room and her eyes lit up.

A soft bed, a sunny window, and a small bookshelf with books worth looking at.

It was heaven compared to the dark cellar she had been hiding in.

“This is the room the baron prepared. Treat it as a lady’s home and make yourself comfortable.”

Derek, the butler, said with a smile.

After introducing the room to Raast, he left, leaving the words to call him if necessary.

“Is it that good?”

Rhaast came to Leah as soon as Derek left.

Both rooms were renovated from the same warehouse, so there was no need to go far.

“then! not good Do you know well where I lived?”

Leah laughed bashfully.

Then, the corner of Raast’s mouth went up slightly.

Just a month ago, the situation for the two was hopeless.

Leah was hiding in a moldy cellar, and Rhaast was making money in all directions to find a cure for Magie Syndrome.

However, no matter how hard he struggled, death approached by the minute.

The retainers who guarded Leah reassured her not to worry, but she knew her body better.

The two siblings were virtually living a life of limited time.

“It’s like a dream.”

Saying that, Leah lay down on the bed and stretched out her arms and legs.

It was soft and fragrant, and I felt like I was going to fall asleep right away when I closed my eyes.

“You seem to like it.”

Right before I fell asleep, I heard a familiar voice outside the door.

Leah woke up in surprise.

“Brother Aaron?”

“Lord.”

Raast also stood up from his chair and bowed.

“Where did Master Zeke go and did you come alone?”

“I went to my aunt.”

“Eh? Already?”

Rhaast frowned.

He didn’t like their meeting because he knew that Janice tried to kill Aaron.

I thought I would at least listen to Aaron’s advice, but I’ve already gone to meet him.

I was afraid that I might not plan something else.

“Zeke doesn’t do that anymore. I won’t be swayed by my aunt.”

“Then I’m glad… … .”

“From the beginning, the two of them were not on guard. The real enemy is elsewhere.”

“What else do you mean by that?”

“Count Arnin. You can see what kind of character he is.”

“… … ah.”

Raast opened his mouth slightly.

He has a history of being commissioned by Count Arnin to cripple Aaron.

That’s why he knew better than anyone what he thought of Aaron.

Perhaps, knowing that he had returned alive this time, the count could have acted directly.

“It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.”

“don’t worry. It is enough to conquer the mountain where you know the way.”

“Do you have anything in mind?”

“well.”

Aaron grinned.
