Chapter 647:
Killuan, vice-member of the Senate, narrowed his eyes as he watched Sylvia coming down the stairs.
‘It seems like the person itself has changed.’
Sylvia had always been withdrawn since returning to the family.
He bowed his shoulders and waist like a mouse and always lowered his eyes. He couldn’t make eye contact with people and even if he did, he quickly ran away.
But the current Sylvia was different.
With his shoulders straight like a steel tower, Sieghart’s lofty spirit was revealed.
The sight of him with his blond hair that seemed to melt in the sun tied back tightly and wearing a black military uniform was reminiscent of a famous sword. The sharpness was enough to make my skin tingle.
The biggest change is the eyes. The red eyes, which were always trembling with anxiety, sank as deep as the deep sea and did not show even the slightest tremor.
Puzzle.
Killuan chewed his molars gently.
‘Is this really Sylvia?’
Even before Sylvia left the family, the momentum and atmosphere were not there. Her very soul seemed to have changed.
‘I heard that artificial danjeon was established….’
Can things change this much?
It wasn’t that long ago that Sylvia obtained artificial dantian, but her inaction had already reached the highest level of master. No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
“Si Sylvia?”
Crison also seemed to sense the change in Sylvia and stammered, and the senators even took a step back, tired of the momentum.
“long time no see. Vice Wonju.”
Sylvia stood in front of Killuan and bowed her head, ignoring Krison.
“What are you talking about, a Senate event?”
“Hmm.”
Killuan revealed his discomfort by clearing his throat.
‘You’re so proud.’
I felt it was very ugly to see a subject who abandoned his family and run away brazenly claim that he was in trouble.
“Tsk.”
Killuan clicked his tongue at Crison without answering Sylvia.
“cheeky!”
Chrisson received the signal and stood in front of Sylvia.
“Where are you talking so carelessly about a collateral topic?”
“This is the first time I learned that a subordinate cannot even talk to an elder.”
Sylvia still smiled coldly, looking at Vice Wonju instead of at Chrisson.
“You don’t know the topic.”
Chrisson glared at Sylvia and twisted his mouth.
“Do you think your sins will disappear just because you have a Danjeon?”
“I am not guilty.”
Sylvia shook her head with peaceful eyes.
“When I left the family, I gave back what I had received from the family, and when I came back, I only received the mercy of the head of the family. “I have no sin left.”
She straightened her back proudly. Kipa, who had no shame about himself, pushed away Crison’s malice.
“Shut up! “The stain you left on Sieghart cannot be erased!”
Chrisson gritted his teeth and shook his head.
“If Sieghardt’s name is tarnished by the stain I left behind, then Sieghardt is too small. However, I don’t view Sieghardt so little.”
Unlike before, Sylvia did not hesitate to include Sieghard’s name.
“Besides, this is something I don’t want to hear from those who have lost the spirit of old Sieghart and are cruel to the weak.”
“How dare you!”
Crison was the first to throw his hand away, as if upset by the change in Sylvia, whom he had once been unable to even make eye contact with.
Whoa!
That moment. Sylvia curled her right hand and squeezed it. Her fist flew out like a thunderbolt and hit Kreeson in the chin.
Ugh! Ugh!
Chrisson, who tried to slap Sylvia but was hit on the chin in return, sat down like a doll whose strings had fallen.
“Keuuuuuu…”
He didn’t lose consciousness, but his brain was shaken, so he could only move his legs and couldn’t stand properly.
“Huh!”
“Mr. Crisson!”
“What is this!”
The soldiers belonging to the Senate were frightened and approached Crison.
“It is self-defense. “Because that one hit me first.”
Sylvia shook her head, patting her shoulder where Chrisson’s hand had touched it.
“A lot has changed. “He probably wasn’t like that even before he left the family.”
Deputy Chief Killuan looked at Silvia with eyes filled with anger in silence.
“I had no choice but to change if I wanted to be a mother who was not ashamed of my son.”
Sylvia shook her head with a faint smile.
“Ugh!”
Like a master, Chrisson quickly came to his senses and stood in front of Killuan again.
“I don’t think Deputy Wonju will step forward! “I will handle it.”
He bit his lip until it bled and glared at Sylvia.
“So what brings you here?”
Sylvia nodded leisurely.
“Information came in that illegal activities within the family were observed in the annex. “I’ll have to check it out myself!”
Chrisson made a violent wave of energy and headed towards the stairs of the annex.
Cheeeeee!
Jubel jumped out from the shadows of the annex stairs and blocked the path.
“You can’t go.”
“Are you a lowly bastard interfering with a senate event?”
Because Cryson was humiliated by Sylvia, he lost his temper and slashed his sword at Jubel. Although it didn’t contain any signs of life, it seemed like it was about to cut off the arm.
Sylvia lifted her left heel. It slipped as if the ground had folded and stood in front of Jubel. With his left palm, he struck the blade of Krison that was falling towards Jubel’s shoulder.
Ugh!
As Cryson’s body stumbled, he took a step forward and struck his chin again with the sheath of his sword.
Ugh! Ugh!
Crison, who was hit harder in the same spot, rose into the air and then collapsed. White teeth protruded from his mouth like corn kernels.
“Off…”
This time, Chrisson’s eyes rolled back as if he had lost consciousness.
“Do you know what you are doing?”
Vice Wonju looked at the trembling Chrisson and revealed a creepy look in his eyes.
“I just protected my person as the owner of the annex. Also, I have no intention of letting unauthorized people in.”
“permission?”
“I know that the Senate has the authority to inspect within the family. However, you need a permit accordingly. “If I don’t have a permit, I’m no different from a robber or a thief.”
Sylvia shook her head confidently. The Senate had the power of inspection to check the dictatorial power of the state, but a license was needed to achieve this.
“That permit. “You know that if I just say the word, it will come out, right?”
“Then bring it.”
She nodded as if to do as she pleased.
“joy.”
As Vice Wonju lifted his finger, a warrior ran out towards the main building.
After a short period of time, he returned again, and in his hand was a certificate authorizing inspection of the annex.
“Are you done?”
“yes.”
Sylvia backed away from the road with sunken eyes.
“You will regret what happened today.”
Vice Wonju narrowed his eyes and entered the annex first.
“No one knows that.”
Sylvia followed suit and shook her head.
***
Raon took a big bite of the mint chocolate ice cream in his hand. A bitter yet slightly refreshing taste filled my mouth at the same time.
-Ehehehehe!
As soon as Lars ate the mint chocolate, he burst out laughing like a child, as if he had recovered.
-Of course, mint chocolate! Kehehe! This is the taste of mint chocolate! Keck! I missed you! KEEEK!
However, seeing that he continued to cough, it was clear that his condition was not good.
‘I’ll have to feed him well for a while.’
It was no exaggeration to say that I survived thanks to Lars, so I decided to eat everything he wanted.
“Cheap princess.”
Runan, who was also eating mint chocolate, quietly raised her finger and pointed to the right.
“hmm?”
Raon turned his gaze to follow the finger. I saw a female wizard walking while wearing large glasses and reading a thick magic book. I was so focused that I couldn’t take my eyes off the book.
‘Is that Jaina?’
Princess Jaina always wore glamor and was accompanied by many attendants.
But now she had no makeup on her face, she was not wearing any jewelry, and her subordinates were nowhere to be seen.
If you didn’t know, you would have thought he was an ordinary wizard.
Is it because of that reason? It seemed like he had achieved a level of achievement that was on a different level from what he had seen before.
“Wow…”
Dorian also sighed as he looked at Jaina.
“That’s that cheap princess….”
He also revealed Jaina in a surprising way because he had seen her on the black market.
“It’s different from when I first saw it. Shall I bring it? “Wouldn’t it be nice to hear you tell me about that ring?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Raon calmly shook his head. I didn’t want to disturb anyone who was concentrating.
‘People really do change.’
In my past life, I thought people never change.
However, as I lived this life, I seemed to realize several times that that was not the case.
‘Daman Derus Robert. ‘You will never change for the rest of your life.’
Because I knew that he would never change, I was able to plan my revenge without the slightest hesitation.
When I thought of revenge on Derus, I thought of the family in the annex.
“Huh…”
Raon finished the remaining ice cream and shook his head.
‘I’d like to rest in the annex.’
-I want to eat more at the annex.
‘….’
He was truly a devil who had something to break the mood.
***
“Matriarch.”
Non-banquet owner Chad knelt in front of Glenn and bowed his head.
“We have received news about Raon.”
“News?”
Glenn, who was just looking out the window as if he had no interest in anything in the world, slowly turned his back and sat down on the throne.
“Tell me.”
His voice was quiet, as if he didn’t really care, but his eyes fluttered like constellations, as if telling him to speak quickly.
“It is said that the warrior who obtained his legacy from Sword Zone’s tomb is none other than Raon!”
Chad shouted, raising his voice as it was surprising news.
“Is that really true?”
Glenn stood up again less than three seconds after sitting down. The corners of his mouth slowly began to rise like snow accumulating on a roof.
“yes!”
Chad nodded, saying he was sure.
“Hehehe.”
“You really ate Sword Zone’s legacy? “Isn’t it amazing?”
Roen and Cheryl widened their eyes and smiled as if they were surprised.
“Hehehe!”
As if enjoying the two people’s reactions, Glenn slightly stuck out his chin and danced with his shoulder.
“It’s difficult for you to be this happy.”
Chad swallowed dryly and confidently raised his gaze.
“Raon said he found out that Sword Zone was our Sieghart’s ancestor and that the land where the tomb is located also belonged to Sieghart!”
“what?”
Glenn also widened his eyes as if he hadn’t expected that.
“Dogeumzon was Sieghart’s ancestor?”
“yes! It’s an obvious fact. “Not only the Gwangpungdae and the Public Prosecutors’ Office, but even the neutral forces that came out of the tomb all gave the same testimony.”
Chad nodded quickly.
“I couldn’t even imagine that.”
Cheryl let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
“Hehehe, Raon, you really did a great job.”
Roen clapped with his usual smile even deeper.
“It’s not just a ball. Because it will change history!”
Chad also waved his hand excitedly.
“Kahahahahah!”
Glenn cleared his throat and touched his increasingly red cheeks.
“You’re doing a little bit.”
As Loen and Cheryl Chad’s reactions became more intense, the corners of his mouth continued to rise.
“If the land is ours, it would be better to send someone to manage it. “It’s a bit far away, so we need to make sure we nail the pillars in advance.”
Cheryl smoothed her chin, saying it would be a good idea to start taking care of it now.
“Of course that’s true, but there’s no need to rush.”
Chad shook his head with a soft smile.
“Why is that?”
“Actually, after Raon came out of the tomb….”
He told me that Raon broke the heads of hundreds of people and established Haegeomji.
“So does that mean the place has already become like a sanctuary?”
“That’s right. Hundreds of heads alone. “No, the fact that he smashed his head but did not kill anyone aroused greater fear and respect, so it became a sanctuary named Haegeomji.”
Chad let out a sigh as if he himself was dumbfounded.
“Roen!”
Glenn looked away and shouted Roen’s name.
“I’m writing it down now. ‘From now on, this land is Sieghart’s territory. I’ll give you 10 seconds. Put down your weapon? Did it go off? Choose one of the two.’”
Roen began writing down the words Raon shouted in front of Dogeomjon’s tomb in the Raon Gospel.
“That guy made a good hit once he bought it.”
Cheryl also did not hide her cool smile as if she was happy about Raon’s performance.
“Why are you praising me so much?”
Glenn turned his head as if asking when he was asked to write down the Laon Gospel.
“If you knew it was Sieghardt’s land, it was just something you had to do!”
However, as he said it was something he had to do, his earlobes were red and the corners of his mouth were raised so much that they touched his cheekbones, so you could see that he was smiling even from behind.
“So when will the kids come back?”
Glenn couldn’t hide his excitement and even said that they were children, not bandits. My voice trembled.
“He went to Balkar, but he will be back soon.”
“…is it.”
Glenn sighed, disappointed that he didn’t come back right away. As I shook my legs without realizing it, the entire family battle began to shake.
“Matriarch! “I’ll be back soon, don’t worry.”
“yes. “It’s okay to be a little late in bringing a gift.”
Cheryl and Roen smiled softly as they watched the dust falling from the ceiling.
“Who was worried? “I was just curious!”
Contrary to what he said, Gajujeon began to shake more and more violently.
“And there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”
Chad looked down, erasing all smiles from his face.
“As you probably know better, the Senate is currently occupying the annex and conducting inspections. “They said they were harassing me very blatantly.”
He frowned as if he was not pleased with the Senate’s events.
“It probably means that they will use Sylvia to control Raon.”
Roen frowned, which was rare.
“Hmm, shall I go and take care of it?”
Cheryl lightly rolled her shoulders. It was as if he would get rid of it as soon as he said it.
“The Senate’s right to inspect is a provision that has been handed down since the beginning. Since it is a measure for separation of powers, it cannot be stopped even with the power of Gajujeon.”
Glenn shook his head calmly.
“But if you want to do it, you can do it, right?”
Cheryl frowned.
“okay. It might be possible to stop it. However, as if they were waiting for that, they will start a more serious dispute in other ways.”
Glenn shook his head, as if reading the senator’s thoughts.
“In the end, it means that we have to fight with the power of the annex.”
Roen calmly rested his chin.
“But the annex has no authority. “It will be difficult to hold on.”
Chad swallowed dryly, as if he was worried.
“That is correct. However, this time, Great Lord Gwangpung has made a great contribution.”
Glenn looked down at Chad, a cool glare flashing in his eyes.
“I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to grant him one wish.”
Chad understood the meaning of those words and immediately stood up.
“I’ll let you know quickly!”
***
Ten days have passed since the Senate’s inspection began.
“I think there’s something hidden on the floor here. Let’s open it.”
“The window frame is twisted! Destroy it!”
“I see a gap in the ceiling! “Tear it off!”
After destroying the intact floor, walls, and ceiling, the senator’s warriors immediately began to find fault with the next issue.
“What can I do if I don’t clean up these dirty things!”
“They say it’s not even cleaned properly, so I’ll write the sanitary conditions as worst.”
“Have you ever thought about making and eating food in a place like this? “It’s not a den of beggars.”
Instead of even cleaning up the debris they had dug up, they ridiculed and harassed the maids who were cleaning up after them.
“sorry.”
“I’ll clean it up right away.”
“Please wait a moment.”
In order not to cause harm to Raon and Sylvia, the maids in the annex put up with the viciousness of the senatorial officers and cleaned up the messy house and repaired the broken ceiling and floor themselves.
After moving non-stop for ten days, their hands and feet even had blue bruises.
Sylvia also organized the annex with the maids and helped with cleaning.
Even though the harassment from Creeson and the senators was the worst, she endured everything with the same attitude as before.
“lady.”
Helen approached Sylvia, who was cleaning up the remains of the collapsed wall, and bowed her head.
“Get some rest. “You’ve been working since dawn.”
“I’m okay. “Get some rest, Helen.”
Sylvia smiled and patted Helen on the shoulder.
“I’m fine, but the kids are having a hard time.”
Helen sighed as she put down the rag full of black grime. She bit her lip, thinking that the maids would soon come out collapsing.
“I guess so. But there is no way now.”
Sylvia shook her head.
“Because using force is what they want.”
Vice Wonju is harassing the annex in a legal way.
If force is used here by force, it will cause great damage to Raon as they had hoped.
“You know very well.”
A low voice came from the right. When I turned my gaze, I saw Do-gae sitting on the broken window frame.
“The Senate is full of snake-like old men like that. “The reason I left the Senate was because I didn’t want to see old people like that.”
Do-goe furrowed his brows, saying that there were more dirty old men than good old men.
“I listened to your sighs so much that I even lost the taste of my drink.”
As he said that, he threw down a small piece of paper he was holding and disappeared.
“Ah…”
Sylvia opened the paper she received from the thief and then clenched her fist. She nodded as if she had made up her mind and went out of the annex.
“Dig further there! “Don’t stop your hands!”
Chrisson had a bandage on his chin and was instructing his maids to dig up the garden.
Most of the maids’ hands were shaking from exhaustion, and only Judiel and her younger sister Jubel were constantly moving their arms so that the other maids could rest.
“Ah, that’s enough. Now let’s dig the other side.”
Crison laughed at the maids as if they were teasing them, and then instructed them to dig in another location.
Thanks to this, the garden where the flowers had bloomed was now devastated, as if a war had broken out.
Bu Won-ju was enjoying refreshments at a luxurious table in the center of the ruined garden.
“Vice Wonju.”
Sylvia approached him with calm eyes and lowered her head.
“what?”
Bu Wonju put down the teacup in an elegant manner and nodded.
“How about you stop now?”
“Stop?”
He looked up with a sneer on his face.
“Even though ten days have passed, you haven’t let go of that arrogance. Very cocky.”
“….”
Sylvia didn’t say anything. He looked at Vice Wonju with calm eyes.
“It’s me who will end this situation, not you. “It’s difficult to forget who has the power to make decisions.”
Wonju Bu twitched her lips as she looked at the maids shoveling with bloody hands.
“If you don’t want to see them suffer, you know what to do, right? “Your behavior now is not a good path.”
“Bowing your head to a dirty person for a little convenience is not a good choice.”
“Until the end…”
He twisted his mouth.
“Do you really believe that the date on the permit will expire? The illusion is too great. “Extending a permit is very easy.”
Bu Won-ju raised his voice and asked if he wanted to go to the end.
“Vice Wonju, you are very mistaken.”
“what?”
“I gave this advice sincerely considering Vice Wonju. Let me say one last thing. For your own sake, it would be better for you to stop going back. Then I won’t ask about what happened up to now.”
Sylvia showed a confident look as if she had the upper hand.
“You seem to be out of your mind. Okay, let’s go to the end!”
Deputy Wonju ordered Chrisson to obtain a new permit.
“Do whatever you want.”
Sylvia left the buwonju behind and approached the maids who were digging the ground.
“lady. We are fine.”
“That’s right. Never mind.”
“I can endure as much as I want!”
Judiel and the maids shook their heads, telling them not to worry.
“I’m really sorry.”
Sylvia smiled faintly and dropped the letter from Dogoe, which she was holding tightly in her hand, onto the dug-up ground.
[Raon Sieghardt is certain to return this evening. He will be given the power to prevent corruption in the Senate. -Swallow]
Judiel and the maids’ eyes widened at the information about the secret banquet that came through the hands of Dogae.
“Just be patient.”
Sylvia smiled slightly as she buried the paper in the ground.
“You will see their heads, or rather their heads, broken.”
