[Episode 28]
‘Ah, what is this sense of incongruity?’
Her appearance, which must be beautiful just by looking at her eyes, gave off a danger signal.
[Mouth.Position.Gak] The writer was never a person who gave great appearance descriptions to extras.
To be honest, there was almost no description even for me.
So, with this level of appearance, it is definitely a lead role or a supporting role with a significant weight.
‘Goes.’
Just give this and leave.
I honestly don’t want to be involved anymore.
If it was a main or supporting role, everyone would be entangled with the female lead, so I didn’t know if my information would somehow get into it.
‘Even if I tell you only the appearance, let alone the name…’
Obviously, the Etam family’s intelligence will find me soon.
He carefully took the scone I gave him, looked at it carefully, and began biting it down.
I looked at it and turned around.
‘…Ah, I should give this to you as well.’
I took out a small blue shard from the inside of my money pocket.
It was a fragment received from Richard’s treasure chest the other day. And this was part of ‘Fragments of Balance’.
In fact, the ‘Fragment of Balance’ was not a single piece.
Originally, it was a round blue gem like a pearl named ‘Stone of Balance’, but the first head of the Etham family began to split and distribute ‘Stone of Balance’ to those in need.
There are seven fragments in total, and the largest fragment is the Erno Etam fragment, which is a collection of three fragments.
And this is one piece of that fragment.
‘Even in the novel, there was a story that Richard owned it…’
So later, when the heroine asked for it, Richard handed it over to her without saying anything.
I received it from Richard this time.
“Haa…”
Of course, I didn’t steal it, but in fact, if I had told you in advance, Erno Etam wouldn’t have lost anything.
Maybe I should have added more protection. There was a slight sense of guilt.
‘I can’t return all three.’
Excluding Erno Etam and the one I received from Richard, there must be three more scattered fragments, but the High Priestess of the future has two… ‘
Where is one?’
I didn’t remember very well.
Bumping- Jerking-
Jerking-
Jerking-
Jerking- Jerking-
And why don’t I feel like I’m walking alone?
When I stopped walking, the shadow following me also stopped. I gulped.
‘…Who is it?’
Was there anyone who recognized me?
Tightly nervous, I walked to a place where there were a lot of people and slowly looked back.
“…you.”
The one who was chasing me was the child wearing the robe earlier.
“why…? I’ll have more to eat.”
“Can you… follow me?”
My eyes widened naturally at the youthful beauty. no that’s not what this means
“what? What do you mean…”
“I have nowhere to go.”
I was speechless for a moment at the mumbling voice with my head lowered.
“I’ll make you my master… No, let me make you my owner.”
he said, kneeling in the middle of the street. Of course, my speech was blocked, and people’s gazes began to wander.
“Are you crazy? Hurry up!”
I quickly grabbed the boy’s shoulder.
“Please let me follow you, Master.”
I knelt down and opened my eyes wide at the mournful voice.
“what…?”
“I think something is wrong? Did a noble come out of hiding…”
“No matter how hard it is, to kneel in the middle like that…”
Noaaaa!
not me!
I was taken aback and grabbed the boy’s shoulder. Blue eyes visible from under the robe drooped down.
“Let’s go… let’s go…”
“Can I really follow you…?”
I don’t know why he acts like an abandoned puppy. I roughly nodded.
Anger –
The boy’s face reflected under the robe brightened. I stared blankly at his face, then quickly turned around.
‘This…’
is definitely a main/supporting role!
No matter how you look at it, it is. If it was a supporting role, there was a high probability that it would be a very, very important supporting role.
As I turned around, the boy hurriedly followed me.
“I have that too.”
“huh?”
“I have the one you’re holding in my hand, master.”
As I turned my head to follow his gaze, I saw my hand holding the ‘Shard of Balance’.
“Is this…?”
“yes.”
He rummaged through the inside of his robe and held out something to me.
It was a ‘fragment of balance’.
It’s also two pieces bigger than mine.
‘…two pieces?’
uh?
Strange thoughts run through my head.
Because, except for what Erno etham lost, there are four pieces of ‘balance fragments’ left in the world.
Of these, I have one piece and I don’t know where the other is, and I have two pieces…
‘The high priest of the future…
It’s …’ Because there is no work…
“Uh…”
An uneasy thought passed through my head.
“master…?”
probably not
Why would the high priest of the future be here? Isn’t it normal to be in the original temple?
I shook my head, trying to deny the thoughts in my head.
“Where are you going, Master?”
“Duke Colin!”
“Ah… if it’s that family, this is it.”
The boy walked ahead, holding my hand carefully.
“Why are you following me…?”
“As I said, I have nowhere else to go.”
lie.
There was no way I wouldn’t look for it in the temple.
If he really is the person I think he should be in the temple as a priest candidate by now.
“You’re here.”
Arriving at the mansion, I put him under a shady tree near the huge front door.
“…why?”
“I’ll be back soon.”
“What if you don’t come? I don’t even know the owner’s name.”
Why the hell am I the owner…
“This is A-ring. I don’t lie.”
Of course, you can come out and fight over why you’re following me.
‘And I might be able to get in.’
But Richard needed a family. Every child needs a family.
‘If there’s a place to go back to, I’d rather go back.’
Especially if it’s a place where you can love yourself.
“Hello, can I meet the duke?”
I smiled and greeted the soldier guarding the door.
“what? I don’t know why, but I can’t meet the Duke casually.”
“Uh… Where is Gongjag’s son? So can you tell me…?”
“Son, stop talking nonsense…”
“Hey.”
Another soldier next to me whispered to the soldier facing me.
The soldier’s expression turned strange.
“…Unconditionally? he’s still a kid Apparently, the parents ordered…”
“You don’t want to disobey the order.”
“It’s not… Ha ha. Got it. wait a minute. I’ll be back.”
The soldier told me to wait a moment and started running to the mansion.
I turned around and saw a boy wearing a robe standing under the tree, looking at me with the same attitude.
‘Duke Colleen…’
The Duke Colleen was a family on a similar scale to the Duke of Etham.
Of course, the Duke of Etam had a little more advantage.
This was a family with a long lineage that produced outstanding wizards.
He said he was cynical and cold to everything except for his wife and the child born from the ship.
A person so devoted that he would even give up hundreds of billions of dollars in profits if it became my family’s business.
‘Would you believe me?’
I’m sure they’re doing something, but I haven’t decided what I’m going to receive.
‘If you say you will receive money…’
There will definitely be a record in your bank account, but no matter how much you think about it, Erno Etam will probably check the account record.
‘Then… what should I ask for?’
While I was lost in thought, the soldier returned.
“His Excellency the Duke wants you to come in.”
“yes!”
“…Ha, when I said that there are no more liars now, you are bothering me again. It looks like I’m going to have to pay another invoice.”
…invoice?
Come to think of it, this side’s personality wasn’t a joke either….
In particular, he hates lying, so I heard that the moment he tells a lie, his throat is blown off the spot.
gulp.
I swallowed and clenched my fists.
‘It’s not a lie…’
But it’s not like there’s any evidence right now…
“This way. If it’s a lie, you’d better apologize right away.”
The soldier whispered softly and opened the door.
When the door opened, I could smell ink and paper.
Inside, a clean-looking man with his hair pulled back was handling paperwork with an expressionless face.
I felt indifference to the world from the slightly sharp raised eyes and gaze.
“Tell me.”
He said without taking his eyes off the papers.
“yes…?”
“Didn’t you say you knew my son? Impressions, appearance, characteristics, names are all good, so tell me what you know.”
It’s a cool, cold voice.
It was on a different level from Erno Etham’s voice, which was friendly and soft even on the outside.
When I didn’t answer anything, purple eyes, as if they had been exhausted for a long time and lacked emotion, touched me strangely.
