Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 043. Even without you

The news that Oddhaken’s sons had subdued the demons spread throughout the western part of the kingdom.

Families close to Odd Haken sent congratulations and gifts, and letters of regard came from families with whom they had little contact.

The baron did not shy away from public attention.

He held a grand banquet, praised his sons for their achievements, and introduced them to numerous nobles who came to the banquet hall.

It was the moment when Odd Haken’s children, who had been shrouded in veil, entered the aristocratic society.

“Mm, it tastes good.”

Aaron muttered as he sipped his wine.

He was enjoying a banquet alone on the terrace of a mansion where people were rare.

It was windy because winter hadn’t ended yet, but it was perfect for people-watching.

In the banquet hall set up in the garden, it was Zeke who stood out.

He was the next successor to Oddhaken and a party to the subjugation of the demons, so he was popular with the nobles.

“Where is Master Aaron?”

“Iknow, right. I’ve been looking for it for a while, but I can’t find it.”

Among them, there were quite a few people who were looking for Aaron.

Most of them were ulterior motives to scout him or to lure him with money.

‘You guys won’t find it forever.’

Aaron took a few steps back and looked down at them.

There was no need to deal with those who seemed obvious.

‘I don’t think I’ll come.’

After observing the banquet hall for a while, he muttered to himself.

Count Bares Arnin.

He must have been the first to receive Oddhaken’s invitation, but even now, when the banquet was in full swing, there was still no news.

In an aristocratic society, it is a great disrespect to not respond to an invitation.

If the invitee was a high-ranking noble, he could have sent a proxy instead of coming in person, but Arnin didn’t even do that.

He was openly ignoring Odd Haken.

“That’s how you’re going to come out.”

Aaron emptied the rest of the wine in one bite and left.

* * *

two days later. When the grand banquet was over, the Odd Haken castle became quiet as if it had never been.

up Knock-

The upper floors of the serene mansion.

Janice was sitting alone in her room, biting her nails.

Even though she received congratulations from numerous nobles and expanded her personal connections, her expression was not good.

There was someone’s letter in the hand with all the nails ripped off.

[-Dear son-in-law.]

A letter from his father, Count Arnin.

This letter was delivered to the mansion by someone as soon as the banquet was over.

It was not a coincidence, it was a thoroughly calculated action.

[-It’s a pity that I couldn’t attend the banquet. Let’s just say I’m busy with work. I want to see the faces of my grandchildren, even if it’s late, but would you send them away with your daughter? I want to treat my little heroes grandly.]

The content was simple, but the intention was clear.

Bares planned to drag Aaron into the count’s family and kill him.

Then, of course, Kane would declare a war on the territory, and the Count would say that he was right and murder him mercilessly, and then use Zeke, who became the head of the house, like a puppet.

Janice knew the count’s intentions from the beginning.

He was always unhappy that Baron Baron had a manastone mine.

Making a lot of money just because he was close to the dwarves and close to the mountains.

It was unacceptable to his common sense.

The Count originally intended to do something the moment Zeke was born, but Janice stopped it.

Because I love Kane. Because I didn’t want him to die.

“I will go alone.”

After a long thought, she got up from her seat.

As everything was over the moment he followed the letter, he thought of going alone and trying to persuade the count.

Kane couldn’t understand why she was doing this, but it was okay.

smart-

Just as he was about to call the maid after completing his simple preparations, someone knocked on the door.

“Who are you?”

“That’s me. great mother.”

“… … .”

Janice’s eyes doubled.

‘Why are you here? Could it be that you have come to accuse me of conspiring? Zeke couldn’t have said that?’

All sorts of thoughts ran through my head.

“May I come in?”

Aaron didn’t give me time to think.

Janice hurriedly hid the letter lying beside her, then cleared her voice.

“Come in.”

As soon as permission was given, Aaron came inside.

I didn’t know because I didn’t look closely when I had just returned from the journey, but his body was almost a head taller.

If he grew up just a bit more, he would be comparable to Knight Commander Gardi.

“What is going on?”

However, even though her body had grown, her attitude toward him had not changed.

After talking with Zeke, her emotions have softened a lot, but Aaron was still a stumbling block in her plans.

“Oh, it seems I interrupted you when you were going out. sorry.”

clap-

Aaron locked the door and strode over to sit in front of Janice.

Janice frowned.

“Why are you locking the door?”

“I just want to have a friendly conversation without interruption.”

Aaron shrugged and crossed his legs.

Janice’s face immediately frowned.

“Who taught you that manners? A guy with no quirks.”

“Are you going to continue acting?”

“what?”

“I heard everything from Zeke.”

“… … What did you hear?”

“About this family situation.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Great mother. I’m here to help my aunt. Doing this to each other is a waste of time.”

“why… … .”

“I know you tried to kill me by ordering Viktor. Even knowing that fact, you saved Zeke’s life, are you not going to cooperate until the end?”

‘Peer.’

[Spirit is reduced by 5%.]

Brilliant blue eyes glared at Janice.

Janice closed her eyes tightly and trembled.

I was suffocated by a fear I had never experienced before.

It looked as if Aaron would reach out and break his neck any second.

“I’m not here to blackmail you.”

Aaron said in a softer voice.

At the same time, the feeling of fear that weighed down my whole body disappeared like a lie.

Janice let out a shallow sigh and opened her eyes.

“How easy is it to say that you know how much you are helping?”

“If nothing else, I know for sure that you love your father.”

“… … Did Zeke even say that?”

“Zeke and I have nothing to hide from each other. They became real brothers.”

a few days ago. Right after talking with Janice, Zeke turned to Aaron for advice.

Aaron, of course, promised to help, and this was the result.

After the banquet was over, he went straight to Zenith without thinking.

“Odd Haken would have been peaceful without you.”

“If it is peace to live like a puppet and be sucked into the bloody side, then it must be peace.”

Aaron laughed.

If he hadn’t come, Kane would have lived with the count’s attention until his death, and Zeke would have been swayed by the count for the rest of his life even after becoming the head of household.

“Any life lived is better than death.”

“Are you satisfied with your life now?”

“Don’t be satisfied.”

“Is unrequited love that good?”

“… … .”

Janice bit her lip in silence.

What Aaron had just said was her rebellion.

Until Zeke was born, Kane and her relationship was no different from any other couple.

But now it was different.

Kane was fed up with her abusing Zeke and relying on the Count in everything on a fictional day, and the hot love cooled down like ice caps.

“Right now your father and your room are too far apart. It will go farther in the future.”

“… … What do you want to say?”

“If I go to the count’s family, please make it so that I can have a private meeting with the count. Then everything will work out.”

“How can you be so sure? Do you have a corner to believe in?”

“yes.”

“What is that… … .”

“You will find out later.”

Aaron shook his head firmly.

The fact that her father was a defector, he couldn’t say now.

Bares Arnin was a genius wizard who reached the 6th tier in his mid-thirties.

Starting from the 7th rank, he was called the Arch Mage because he had surpassed the human level, so people in the world began to pay attention to his steps.

However, even after decades passed, he had not reached the 7th rank, and people’s interest gradually faded.

As the people who expected to become an Arch Mage left one by one, the Count eventually made an irreversible choice.

There was a reason why he did not pursue the remnants of the demons several years ago during the subjugation of the demons.

In exchange for not eradicating Warlock and other renegades, he was offered a huge black magic stone made by killing countless lives.

The black magic stone was like a spring that never dried up.

The endless flow of demonic energy quickly moved the stagnant magic circuit and helped him easily overcome the 6th tier wall.

Continuing his training like that, he recently became a 7th tier wizard.

People congratulated him for finally reaching the ranks of the Arch Mage, but Aaron knew what the end would be like.

In the game, the count continues to use the black magic stone even after reaching the 7th tier, and eventually becomes a lich after being eaten by the demonic energy.

When the Arch Mage becomes a lich, the aftermath is beyond imagination.

When I first found out about its existence, I left it alone, thinking I should catch it later, but in just one month, it turned the entire western world into a land of death.

“You’ll find out later?”

Janice looked at Aaron like he was crazy.

Aside from his rude attitude, I couldn’t understand at all what kind of confidence he was talking about.

“My father is an Arch Mage. You have become the same level as the King of Magic Towers. Do you know how great that is?”

“I know.”

“Are you asking me to do it alone without telling you why, even though you know that? Sounds like you want to die.”

“It is not what the eye sees. great mother There is no other way.”

Aaron looked straight at her and said.

A voice full of confidence.

There was no sign of hesitation, as if he already knew the outcome.

Janice looked at those blue eyes for a moment before closing them tightly.

“… … I get it. Let’s make a seat.”

Aaron said he knew how to solve the situation without hurting anyone.

It’s hard to completely believe it, but at the moment there was no other option.

“It’s a deal. Well thought out.”

Aaron smiled and held out his hand.

“… … .”

Janice took that hand with a poop-chewed expression.

* * *

“master. Someone came from the count’s family.”

three days after that. Early moning.

Derek came to the baron’s room and reported.

“okay. Let’s go.”

The baron hardened his face and stepped out.

As the butler said, a group of people had arrived in front of the mansion.

A large carriage with a scarlet shield engraved on it, a heavily armed knight, a robed wizard, and dozens of soldiers following them.

It was the escort troops sent by the Count when he informed them that he was accepting the invitation.

“father.”

When the baron came out, Aaron and Zeke, who were waiting at the entrance, greeted him.

The baron held the two of them by the shoulders without saying a word.

From noble mtl dot com

He wasn’t an idiot.

I knew that the Count had purposely not attended the banquet, and that he had deliberately sent a letter towards the end of the banquet.

The Count was clearly provoking him.

I don’t know what ulterior motive he called his sons this time, but I didn’t feel good about it.

“Don’t worry, honey. I am there.”

After the baron stood like that for a long time, Zenith, who couldn’t help but say,

The baron ignored her and said to Raast, who was standing next to her.

“Please take good care of me this time too.”

The only thing he could trust on this journey was Raast.

In my heart, I wanted to attach a few knights of Oddhaken, but that was an act of ignoring the escort troops sent by the count.

Perhaps the Count was aiming for that and sent an escort on purpose.

“Is it possible?”

Raast smiled confidently.

“… … I’ll be back.”

Janice climbed into the carriage first with a hard face.

It was Kane who usually told him to have a good trip, even on the outside, but today he didn’t even have that brief greeting.

“I will go. father.”

Soon Aaron and Zeke followed her into the wagon.

“Are you sad?”

Aaron asked as soon as the carriage door closed.

Janice glared at him ferociously.

“You call that a question now?”

“I just asked because it seemed so, but you are too sensitive.”

“… … joy.”

Janice turned her head away with her arms crossed as if she didn’t have to deal with them.

‘Getting closer… I guess?’

Zeke, who was watching the scene, broke out in a cold sweat.

The scenery outside the window began to move little by little.
