[313] Causal wheel (5)
Eliza’s arsenic froze.
“My queen, I don’t know what happened that day. The only thing I could see was a knife stuck in my son’s bloodied stomach. I couldn’t think of anything, and in the end, I committed an unforgivable rudeness to the queen.”
Eliza gripped the arm of the chair tightly.
“joy! Shameless! Well, the commoners might say you’re right! Because all they have is emotions! But I don’t think so! You almost turned him into a pervert!”
“If it’s Sirone’s choice, I’ll have to accept it.”
“Should I accept it? That’s a really convenient way of thinking. no coward Sirone tried to kill me. Are you saying I don’t even have the right to criticize Sirone?”
“Parents have no right to do that.”
Eliza gritted her teeth and stood up. He was ready to beheaded at any moment.
Olina didn’t care and continued talking with her eyes down.
“Parents only have a dozen or so years to teach their children not to do that.”
Eliza’s head went blank. I want to think about something, but I just sit down in my chair with thoughts that are as white as a blank sheet.
“Queen, I have been by Sirone’s side for 18 years. So now, no matter what my son does, everything is just my negligence. Please punish me.”
Parents have no right to reject their children’s decisions. But you are given countless hours to avoid making that decision.
Tears welled up in Eliza’s eyes. she didn’t have The moment you abandon your child, that precious time also disappears.
Breaking the silence of the Grand Hall, the Royal Knights spoke.
“His Highness Sirone asks for an audience.”
Olina looked back at the door with a surprised expression.
Orkamp had also been told that they did not know when Sirone would regain consciousness. Thinking of something, he solemnly gave instructions.
“Stop by.”
A haggard-faced Sirone entered along the red carpet. Amy and Rayna Vincent followed behind. After confirming that Olina was safe, Vincent let out a sigh of relief.
“So what’s going on? Your complexion looks bad. If it’s not urgent, we can talk after taking a break.”
Sirone saved the answer. As soon as I woke up, I ran to it, so I didn’t think I could raise my voice.
As he approached Orkamp as close as possible, he spoke directly.
“Right now… I will leave the castle.”
Amy and Raina’s parents turned their heads in surprise.
Even when I insisted on seeing Orkamp as soon as I woke up, I did not expect that I would be notified of my return so quickly.
“I realized something after coming here. From this moment on, I have no parents other than my parents by my side.”
It was a promise that Sirone had pledged her whole life to. It was also a declaration that he would sever all ties with Kazura.
Orkamp, who was lost in thought, opened his mouth.
“I allow it.”
This time, everyone’s eyes turned to Orkamp.
However, he didn’t show any emotion, as if he was already prepared. He was just calmly making eye contact with Sirone.
“Prepare the wagon for Raina-sister. I’ll go back to my room and pack my stuff.”
As she passed through the Grand Hall, Sirone never looked back. I could see how much he hated this place.
Reina looked at Eliza. With Orkamp’s permission gone, I was thinking of handing over Olina’s case.
After saying goodbye with a gentle eye smile, Eliza’s cold voice pierced her back as she took the party and turned around.
“Where are you going? I know we still have some work to do.”
Olina frowned and turned around. To be honest, my heart was beating fast, but I didn’t want to show weakness anymore.
“The reason I called you was because I couldn’t decide what punishment to give. I was going to put him to death, but I didn’t think he would let go of his anger. So, at first, I tried to make you blind by plucking out your eyeballs or mute by plucking out your tongue.”
Vincent’s face turned red. If he did that, he would take Olina and run away even if he had to bury his bones here.
“But even that wasn’t enough. So I was thinking about it and it came to my mind. It was a really perfect punishment. Exactly…”
Everyone gulped and waited for the words to follow. Eliza studied their reactions with sleepy eyes, then continued.
“I’m just sending them away.”
“…yes?”
Amy asked involuntarily. Other people were equally puzzled.
“If I do Hakoji, Sirone will only look at you for the rest of her life. that was embarrassing So I tried to send it. Live the rest of your life weighing you and your real mother, the queen of the country. Envy and be jealous of me until the moment you die.”
Everyone is speechless. Regardless of the severity of the punishment, it was a venomous way of thinking.
Eliza, who had been spewing out terrifying murderous intentions, quickly put on a dejected expression and searched for herself.
“But I thought I’d give it to you, if you could convince me, though it’s really unlikely. And…you win.”
The crumpled paper left Eliza’s hand and rolled across the floor.
Olina picked it up and slowly unfolded it. It was an official letter from Orkamp and Sirone’s paternity test results. She was the one who taught Sirone how to read, so she could read most of them except for difficult terms.
He quickly skipped over complex experiments and focused on the most important results. Everyone’s eyes turned to the official letter in the frustration of not being able to wait.
As a result of dissolving the blood samples of clients 1 and 2 in oxtamine and storing them in a vacuum for 3 days, no change in color concentration or precipitate was found. Therefore, it is based on the fact that Client 1 (Orcamp) and Client 2 (Sirone) are not biologically father-son based on the result of negative oxtamine.
“Oh my God…”
Orkamp and Sirone were not father and son. He was a biologically perfect man.
Amy looked at Orkamp. I finally realized why he was bored from earlier.
“How could this be?”
“I don’t know. no need to know The possibility that it was manipulated is 0%, so you can rest assured. Anyway, he’s not my son, so take the official document with you. I don’t know if it will be necessary.”
Eliza added.
“Sirone doesn’t know yet. I’ll leave it up to you to tell the truth or not. Thinking of the rudeness two days ago, I want to remain Sirone’s real mother forever, but I will forgive you only this time, thinking that you did what I had to do.”
Olina raised her head in surprise.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but for a moment it seemed that Eliza smiled.
“Stop going back. Sirone is your son.”
* * *
The third floor of the basement of the Kazura Castle was a dungeon where numerous political prisoners were dragged in at a time when internal affairs were in turmoil. They haven’t seen sunlight in decades and never will.
A certain noble married the human who tortured her. Gender didn’t matter. It was a love that transcended gender barriers and a pure bond between living things. At least in their opinion.
What could be the problem? To them, the end of the world is just the walls of a dungeon. And this was another society completely isolated from human society.
Uorin walked on the dirt floor that smelled of pus. Numerous subterranean creatures split left and right with each step she took. It was the daily bread of those in quarantine.
“Oooh. Oooh.”
A strange sound leaked from each door installed in the wall. It was both pain and pleasure. It sounded like crying, but somehow I thought it might be laughing.
Kazura Kingdom has been neglecting this place for 5 years.
Now, it has been reduced to a useless life, but someone may have survived torture and wait for the right time with dangerous information like a bomb. There is no need to bring it out to the surface and scrape it to make a crust. It was best to just let it rot away forever.
Wu Lin recalled the contents of a novel his ancestors had read 80 years ago.
The main character was a child born in a dungeon that had been neglected for 70 years.
In the novel, the dungeon was described as an ant society. Women were valued for their childbearing role, and once a boy was born, they were either used as food or enslaved and had to work for the rest of their lives.
The main character was born with food number 141. But with the help of the oldest man in the dungeon, he was able to become a slave.
The old man was the only person who knew the outside world as the highest aristocrat 70 years ago. Knowing that his life was short, he passed on all his knowledge to the protagonist.
When the protagonist was fifteen years old, a civil war broke out in the kingdom. The dungeon was opened after 85 years and the main character escaped to the world and became the king after resolving the civil war.
Wu Lin raised an eyebrow.
A novel is just a novel, but how do you know? The day will come when such a miraculous thing will happen to Ji-on and he will leave this place.
When we found Zeon in the food pantry, he was relying on Armand’s recovery program to survive.
He would have died if left alone. And maybe that would have been happier.
Zion will not know. Who is the person who saved you? Who ordered the torture upon regaining consciousness? Who was the person who threw him into the dungeon as soon as he confessed what had happened in Sirone’s mind?
Ji-on was sitting in a prison that was cluttered with wood.
He knew how miserable the dungeon was. His eyes were swollen, probably from crying all night, and he had a dazed expression like someone who had lost his mind.
Hearing footsteps, he instinctively drew his limbs. Then, when he saw Uorin’s face reflected in the weak torch, he quickly showed a bright color and clung to the spear.
“Uorin! here it is! get me out! Where were you? Some strange bastards tortured me and threw me here!”
Even when she saw Ji-on humming like a baby begging for milk, Uorin couldn’t even feel the slightest bit of maternal love.
Thera’s ability does not manifest in the son. To her, who exists as a self-replicator, her son was just a shell that only resembled him in appearance.
After being tortured, Jion’s face was a mess. Blood scabs sat on the area where he had been beaten, and his eyes were black and blue. He had a broken rib and was wearing a bandage.
Seeing how he struggled even in the midst of difficulty moving, it seemed that he was afraid of the dungeon.
“It doesn’t make sense. How did the popular oppa become like that?”
Ji-on’s eyes lit up when he saw the sword Uorin was wearing.
Although it was in the scabbard, the handle was definitely < Demonic Sword Armand >. It was evident that he had brought it to escape himself.
“damn! I won’t let that child go. Sirone is still in the royal castle, right? no it doesn’t matter I will come and kill you.”
Ji-on reached out of the wooden window to grab Armand.
Woorin took a step back. When Ji-on looked at him curiously, he grinned and showed the prison key.
“what? Have you already been sentenced to release? You should have told me sooner.”
As if waiting for the lock to be unlocked, Ji-on kicked off the wooden spear and left the prison. At the same time, Wu Lin grabbed him by the neck and pushed him back into the prison.
“Ouch…!”
Ji-on, who had his head slammed against the wall, collapsed in that state. Uorin, still holding her neck, pressed her face in.
“You still can’t figure out the situation, you pitiful human being.”
“Ooh Uorin…! what’s the matter…!”
“Do you know why I didn’t kill you?”
Zeon is one of the few humans who has reached the depth level 1 of Sirone. I’ve already heard a lot of it through his mouth, but it might come in handy someday.
“What you saw, what you heard, what you experienced. nothing should be said If you think of anything, I will break your brain. If you try to do anything, I will break your limbs.”
Ji-on realized from Uorin’s cold tone. It was as if he was hearing his mother’s cold voice.
