Chapter 046. Are you really going to do this?

The butler led the party into the mansion.

In the case of Aaron, he had many eyes to see, so he was placed in a large bag prepared in advance.

“Mmm! mmm!”

He moved his body desperately, as if he was suffocating, but no one in the party paid any attention.

‘I don’t understand.’

The butler glanced at the wriggling sack.

The escorts and wizards that the Count had personally selected and sent disappeared without a trace, and those who should have been brought in a coma walked in intact.

Besides, he didn’t just come, he brought Aaron away like a burden, so his head was confused.

“I consider it. ma’am.”

Eventually, when we arrived at the count’s place, Klad knocked on the door.

smart-

“Your Excellency Count. Mrs. Oddhaken is here.”

“Stop by.”

After permission was granted, the butler carefully opened the door to the office.

iron-

Upon entering, the four living armors standing in each corner of the office looked at the group in unison.

On the table, a quill pen was diligently writing something, dipping ink on its own.

“Did you come?”

The Count, who had been looking out the window with his hands behind his back, turned his head.

Uncharacteristically for a wizard, he was tall, broad-shouldered, gray hair cut short, and his beard neatly shaved.

Thanks to his handsome appearance, he looked ten years younger than his actual age.

thud!

Servants took Aaron out of the sack and threw him to the floor.

Aaron’s face was white and unconscious.

He seemed to have fainted from lack of oxygen.

“I’ll just go away.”

After fulfilling his duty, Claude nodded and left with the servants.

Finally, only the party and the count remained in the office.

“Meet Your Excellency, Count.”

“Meet Your Excellency.”

Raast and Zeke bowed on one knee.

But Janice just stared at the count with a frown on her brow.

“Looks like you have a lot to say. daughter.”

“Not many. I almost died because of my father.”

“Hmm, almost died?”

The Count asked, wriggling his eyebrows.

He hated talking around the point.

Janice knew that too, so she went straight to the point.

“I’m not sure what orders my father gave Sir Roy, but this angel noticed.”

“You noticed?”

“yes. They said the food was strange and brandished knives at the guards who made it. Even if I tried to tell him to stop, it was useless.”

“Iza killed all the escorts and pointed the knife at his wife as well. He seemed to think that the man behind it was his wife.”

Rhaast helped her.

The Count looked at Raast with wide open eyes.

“Raast. As soon as you went to Oddhaken, you swore to become a servant of this thousand.”

“you’re right. dismissal.”

“But now, in my eyes, it looks like he is following my daughter, not this guy. What happened?”

Rhaast disobeyed the order to cripple Aaron and even made a lifetime contract with him.

The two are not a simple master-servant relationship, but comrades-in-arms who risked their lives together.

But I couldn’t figure out why he betrayed me so suddenly.

“dismissal. I have been greatly indebted to Mrs. He cured me and my younger brother of ailments. Compared to that grace, the oath of master and servant with Lee is nothing.”

Rhaast lowered his head even deeper.

He pretended that approaching Aaron by kissing Janice was a ruse.

‘Will it work?’

Cold sweat ran down my back.

The Arch Mage’s intuition can never be ignored.

If there was even the slightest doubt, even if it was his own daughter, he would dig it up and ask for the crime.

From noble mtl dot com

“hehehe, it seems I ignored you too much.”

A few seconds later, the Count, who had been staring at Raast, smiled.

It seemed that the party’s words were judged to be true.

“Shouldn’t you have informed me in advance? Then we wouldn’t have to waste our troops.”

He was talking about the dead bodyguard to Aaron.

Had I known there was such a good plan, I would not have sent an escort.

Janice shook her head.

“This guy is much quicker than my father thought. Sir Victor tried to kill this guy and was killed again. So I didn’t tell anyone.”

She looked at Aaron with a cold face.

A look of deep contempt in anyone’s eyes.

It didn’t look like acting at all because it was real emotion.

“Um… … .”

Aaron, who had been lying dead, groaned and wriggled.

Every time he moved, the chains dragged on the floor and made an unpleasant sound.

“Raast.”

Zenith chinned Rhaast.

As if he had waited, Rhaast approached Aaron with the scabbard.

“Leave it alone. I wonder what you will say.”

The moment he was about to strike the back of the head, the Count raised his hand.

Cheolguk! Cheolguk!

Then one of the Living Armors standing in a guarded position approached Aaron and removed the gag.

“Raast… … .”

Aaron glared at Rhaast with bloodshot eyes.

“you… … How can this be? You, no one else… … !”

The struggle grew stronger, and the sound of chains clanking filled the room.

“It’s gotten to that point, but still has power. The rumors weren’t entirely in vain.”

The count looked at her with delightful eyes.

The feeling of betrayal is indescribable because the vassal he swore to sacrifice his life for made him look like this.

It felt so good to see half-baked people who didn’t even know the subject.

f*ck!

As the struggle reached its peak, Zeke jumped up and kicked him in the head.

Aaron, who was fluttering like a freshly caught fish, lost his mind again as if he had never done that.

Blood flowed from the torn forehead.

“sorry. dismissal. On the way here, I broke the chains and went on a rampage.”

Zeke closed his eyes and said.

The action just now was a strategy devised with Aaron to completely erase the Count’s suspicions.

Originally, it was supposed to be a moderately loud kick, but I was nervous and kicked too hard.

If that was enough, I would have fainted, not acting.

“Zeke. He is my grandson.”

The Count smiled and put a hand on Zeke’s shoulder.

Zeke flinched and opened his eyes.

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

“This grandfather is proud of you. I hope you continue to do the same in the future.”

“Go, thank you.”

Apparently, the Count seemed to like what Zeke had just done.

“hehehe, it seems our grandson is still very shy. it stopped Now I’m going to take care of it, so everyone go out.”

He stroked Zeke’s head once and shook his hand.

“Yes, Father.”

“thank you. dismissal.”

As if they had waited, the group left the office with a short silent bow.

“Now we are the only ones left.”

Right after the door closed, the Count looked down at Aaron and murmured.

“I’d rather have them scream for death.”

* * *

After the meeting with the Count, the party except for Aaron was guided to an annex prepared for guests.

Before they got married, they had a room inside the mansion, but now that they belonged to a different family, they were treated as guests.

“mother. That’s me.”

After the servants in charge of guiding had left, Zeke found Janice’s room.

Janice opened the door and made sure no one was around before letting him in.

This is the Arch Mage’s mansion.

There could be ears everywhere.

“Why did you come? What if I get caught?”

“I was wondering what to do next. Aaron hyung-nim didn’t tell me about the next plan.”

“I do not know either.”

“yes? Didn’t you talk to your mother?”

“All he asked for was to have a private meeting with my father.”

“ah… … okay.”

Zeke dropped his shoulders in disappointment.

Before departing from Oddhaken, the two had a separate conversation, so I thought they were planning something else, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Wait quietly in your room until you hear other news. Tell that to Rhaast as well.”

“All right. mother.”

Zeke nodded and cautiously left the room.

“This should be enough.”

Shortly after Zeke left, she opened the bag and changed into casual clothes that were comfortable for activities.

Then I grabbed a clean towel and a watering can and headed out the door.

She was stopped by a patrolling knight on her way out of the annex and through the garden to the north gate.

“Mrs. Oddhaken?”

Janice was taken aback by the sudden call, but she didn’t show it and just looked at it.

“yes. Why?”

“May I ask where you are going?”

A knight and two soldiers approached her.

Until there was a separate order from the count, she and the party were subject to surveillance.

Janice opened the thick winter cloak to reveal what was inside.

“I’m going to the previous head of the family.”

After passing through the north gate of the Arnin Mansion, you will find a graveyard where the ancestors of the family are enshrined.

Unlike her father, Janice’s grandfather loved her granddaughter until she died.

Because of this, whenever she felt down, she would visit her grandfather’s grave alone at the North Gate.

“We will guide you.”

“I know where Grandpa is.”

“still… … .”

“Sir Casey. Are you really going to do this?”

Zenith tightened her cloak and called the knight’s name.

The knights of Arnin knew that Zenith sometimes visited the tomb of her ancestor.

The same goes for Casey, who is now blocking the way.

It was unreasonable to keep stopping her when she visited the grave more than once or twice.

“… … It is a formal procedure. This is the Count’s order, so please understand.”

Eventually he took a step back.

After glaring fiercely at the knights and soldiers, Zenith quickly walked away.

As usual, after passing through the north gate of the mansion, a large tomb appeared.

[Jacor Arnin.]

A plain name written on a tombstone caught my eye.

The predecessor Arnin, who was like a pole, did not want to have lengthy feats listed on his tombstone.

“long time no see. grandfather.”

Janice knelt in front of the tombstone and stared at her grandfather’s name for a long time.

Tombstones, which should be kept clean all year round, were piled with dirt.

It was the order of the present Count Arnin.

Bares had a lot of conflicts with his father, Jacor, due to his strong personality.

Because of this, after Jacor’s death, morally, only the tomb was made large, but no management was done.

As far as officials go, they look over to see if an animal has dug up the grave.

It was only Janice who remembered and cared for Jacor.

evil, evil-

She sprayed the tombstone with warm water from a watering can and wiped it off with a clean towel.

As the dust disappeared, the grandfather’s name on the tombstone became clearer.

‘Is this really the right thing to do?’

Looking at the clean tombstone reminded me of my grandfather’s smiling face, which made me feel better, but not today.

What she intends to do from now on is the shameless act of renegades who have given up on humanity.

Even the grandparents who loved their granddaughter would not have wanted this.

[-Take me to the Count and then dig under my grandfather’s tombstone. There is the truth we want in it.]

These were the words that Aaron secretly gave to me when I was about to leave with a new plan.

He already knew that when Janice went to the count’s house, she would find her grandfather’s grave.

There’s no way Zeke would have told me such trivial things, but it was strange.

I didn’t want to come at first.

Digging up the tombstone of his grandfather, the only one in the count’s family who sided with him.

It was crazy.

But the sweet word of truth eventually moved her heart.

What is the truth Aaron said.

I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of confidence he had in requesting a private meeting with the Arch Mage.

“sorry. grandfather.”

After thinking about it for a long time, Janice finally pulled out the trowel she had hidden deep in her arms.
