The great mage who transcends by regression, episode 198 The
former marquis of Kelibos was plagued by a considerable sense of inferiority.
The stone of the great family.
Even that is a subtle position that has barely risen to the ranks of ‘the great family’.
In the first place, Kelly Boss was a family that started with an inferiority complex, and isn’t it a place that grew up with a poison about it?
The previous Marquis of Kelibos wanted a network for his son.
They wanted their son to have a relationship with those of the ‘same level’ as them.
And what came out of that process was our Walpurgis.
“I don’t know the details either. However, according to His Excellency, the Marquis at the time was… …He said that it was not the same as it is now.”
“…Hmm.”
It changed over time.
However, it is quite common for things to warp over time.
The walls of reality are thicker and crueler than you think.
Even a child who boasted of innocence as a child can become a cold-blooded monster over time.
Is it because the Marquis is also such a case?
‘It doesn’t matter.’
It doesn’t matter if the marquis in the past had a friendship with his father or not.
The important thing is that the current guy has crossed a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
There is no doubt that the Marquis was directly involved in the production of the Anti-Life Stone.
If you are voluntarily cooperating with the devil, that is a thing that has crossed the line as a human being.
The Marquis wouldn’t even be aware of how foolish it was.
He must think that he is negotiating advantageously with the devil on an equal footing.
“It is a common story. A father who expects too much and a son who expects too much. It is said that the former Marquis Kellibos and the current Marquis felt that way… ….”
“…Hmm.”
“The Marquis at the time was immature in many ways. It is said that there is an example of being made a laughing stock in aristocratic society. In the meantime… …That’s how he met Your Excellency and Marianne.”
I thought for a moment.
Marquis Kellibos was naturally isolated from aristocratic society due to poor social skills.
And my parents who reached out to him… ….
“It must have looked like salvation for the Marquis at the time.”
“Yes, the three of them got along well after that incident. As you may know by this point, you have neglected the fact that you first met and formed a relationship with Marianne in the first place.”
“Yes, I guess.”
It is said that her mother was not even an imperial citizen, let alone an aristocrat.
I have heard that they are descended from a foreign race somewhere outside the empire, but even that is not certain.
Anyway, the important thing is that my mother wasn’t the right opponent for the ‘class’ that is commonly said in aristocratic society.
But my father didn’t care.
You were that kind of person in the first place.
My mother did not disclose her origin and lived a good life as a hostess in Walpurgis.
…okay.
Isn’t that enough?
“If there was one problem, it was that the Marquis did not accept Marianne-sama’s consideration as simple ‘consideration’.”
“…It looks rough.”
Yes, somehow reality doesn’t always flow in the good direction.
I imagined that time.
A mother who reached out to the Marquis Kellibos out of pure kindness when he was having a hard time.
Perhaps, for the Marquis, the hand that came to him at that time might have been like salvation.
The pressure to represent the family.
Father’s Expectations Inferiority towards friends who are with him… ….
Well, if those things overlap and overlap at the same time, it’s not very strange that the relationship is destroyed.
The Marquis wanted her mother.
Mother already had an opponent called father.
In the first place, the Marquis’ wish could not come true.
“It’s a very common story.”
“yes. In fact, words are affection and obsession, it is just selfishness. If you thought of the person you really love, you shouldn’t have ruined the relationship so unilaterally.”
Even after her father and mother got married and her mother became the mistress of Walpurgis, the Marquis Kellibos did not give up.
“Bocchan… …You wouldn’t have known how obsessed the Marquis was with Marianne when she was young.”
The butler frowned.
“Even though I was worried that it might adversely affect the young master, Madam Marianne didn’t show it. Yes, it was very persistent.”
The butler told the story of that time.
Tries to contact her mother secretly after pretending to have come for family business.
Sending a letter or gift containing my feelings to my mother without my father’s knowledge.
It’s obvious, but it’s a big disrespect.
Originally, it was natural that it was a rudeness that would not be strange even if there was a strong protest and Yeongjijeon.
But why not?
Simple. Same as Nostra.
His father’s needlessly indecisive personality caught his ankle.
…Of course, I don’t think the Marquis would have given up on her mother no matter how her father reacted.
“It’s really disgusting.”
“Yes, Marianne chose you. It ended there. After that, the Marquis should have definitely given up.”
But it didn’t.
The Marquis’s obsession continued until her mother’s death.
“I guess after my mother passed away, my obsession turned into hatred for my family.”
“Isn’t that something like that? If it were you, it would have been different. Walpurgis killed her… ….”
It’s absurd, but it’s highly likely. It is quite common for obsession to become madness.
the butler asked me
“By the way, do you intend to end Kelliboss with this opportunity?”
“Well, if not to the end, at least the festering part should be cut out.”
Either break or repair.
Intervention with Kelibos is indispensable.
Above all, I have no intention of condoning the Marquis Kellibos, who reigns as the current owner.
“Shouldn’t the head be tightened at least this time?”
yeah that’s a definite thing
* * *
A lofty castle wall that can only be described as majestic.
Knights and soldiers who keep their eyes open and watch their surroundings with those who are busy walking on the streets… ….
This was the sight we saw when we arrived at the Marquis of Kellibos.
“Huh, that’s terrifying.”
Lian looked at the Marquis of Kellibos with his mouth open.
“Last time, the Walpurgis estate was like that, but all the great family estates are amazing.”
“What is it?”
Contrary to his admiration, my reaction was plain.
No, it would be more accurate to say that only Lian admired it here.
“what. Why does it feel like I’m the only one admiring it… ….”
Lian sneaked out, looked at the group in turn, and frowned.
Butler or Eileen Ariandell… ….
Three from the imperial family, one from the religious state… ….
Lian, who came to realization belatedly, smiled with a liberated expression.
“Oh, yes. You came from all the guys here, didn’t you?”
“No, you are not a person without one.”
It’s like that compared to the great family, and the family of Count Paslov, the family of Lian, is not a place to go anywhere.
In addition, the financial situation has improved recently, and there are rumors that it is thriving quite a bit.
Of course, it can’t be helped that it is inferior compared to the 4 great families or the Gyo-guk.
Whatever.
Lian’s complaint is also the complaint of ‘the one who exists’.
“So what are you going to do?”
“First, I have someone to meet.”
I led the party and headed somewhere in the corner of the castle wall.
As we headed further into the corner, poorly maintained bushes swept our legs.
“…In a place like this?”
“Since this is the place, I want to meet you.”
No matter how much I was, I couldn’t deal with the marquis family without any preparation.
Even if it were possible, you would suffer unnecessary damage, so why would you do that?
And just in time for me.
“You are here.”
Because there is a collaborator who was a member of that ‘great family’.
After breaking through the bushes and entering, a knight was waiting for us.
The once dazzling armor was scratched and crushed here and there.
The man was covering even that armor with a shabby cloak.
Eileen, who confirmed the man’s identity at that time, was startled.
“Mikhail this man…!”
“are you okay.”
I stopped her from drawing the sword and greeted him.
“It’s been a while, Sir Myrun.”
Myrun Kellibos.
An imperial knight, the second son of Kellibos.
He was the true identity of the ‘collaborator’ I was supposed to meet.
* * *
“I’m so glad you seem to be healthy, warrior.”
Myrun said while stroking the beard that had grown randomly.
While I wasn’t looking, he was pretty shabby.
quite comparable to the previous one.
But there was one thing that was better than before.
a look.
As far as his eyes were concerned, he was alive beyond comparison.
It was the most important change.
This is proof that he is proud of himself.
“You seem to have suffered quite a bit in the meantime, but….”
“Oh is this? Well, this is close to the stomach. Haha, isn’t the appearance important?”
“That’s right.”
I nodded and introduced the people behind me.
“They are my companions.”
“iced coffee.”
Myrun’s eyes sparkled.
He approached the four who were staring at me with an awkward expression and greeted them politely.
“Haha, nice to meet you!”
“Uh, so…The second son of the family of the Marquis of Kelibos… …Are you?”
Eileen asked, tilting her head as if she didn’t understand.
“I wonder what we came here for… ….”
“Of course I know. Aren’t you here to stop the atrocities your father is carrying out?”
A look of bitterness lingered on his face as he answered as if he had waited.
“In the first place, I was also moving for that, but I don’t know.”
“…Confucius?”
“Yes that’s right. It is right to correct what is wrong.”
There was not the slightest hesitation in his voice when he said that.
You must have been constantly thinking about it for almost two years already.
and you’ve come to a conclusion
After explaining the situation, others were easily convinced.
“So, Sir, I heard that something unusual is going on at Kellibos.”
“It is true.”
Myrun nodded with a dark expression.
“I have tried to talk to my father several times over the past two years to try to resolve the issue. But not once did my father take my word for it.”
“Hmm.”
“So I went on to find out on my own. First of all, since I had a fairly good reputation within the family, it wasn’t like there were no vassals who obeyed my will.”
In fact, the Marquis expected ‘honor’ from Myrun and praised him quite a bit for that.
Thanks to him, there were quite a few people who followed him in the process.
They must be supporting Myrun now.
“By the way, didn’t the Marquis do something to harm you?”
“That’s right.”
Myrun let out a bitter laugh.
“I am officially disowned from the entire family.”
“As expected.”
“I was certainly devastated when I realized that the assassin who attacked me was sent by my family….”
Myrun quickly shook off his dark expression and said.
“Well, isn’t that what happens in a person’s life!”
“You are very positive.”
I looked at him with a look that I liked Ryan and said.
Myrun grinned for a moment before moving on to the main topic.
“Anyway, that’s what I learned from the information I snatched in my spare time, but it was my father’s initiative… ….”
he said, hardening his face.
“…It seems that large-scale biological experiments are underway.”
