Caught…?
Caught…?
“I asked what you did with the ‘key’.”
Carmen looked into Setian’s eyes and answered.
“Already used.”
“Have you already used it?”
Setian looked up and down Carmen with white eyes and said briefly.
“Where are you hurt?”
Carmen glanced at my face and spoke quickly.
“Fortunately not.”
“You know, stealing is something my father hates terribly. You stole things and you can’t get them back. The ‘key’ has already been used.”
Carmen slightly bit her lip and met Setian’s eyes.
“But brother, I desperately needed that ‘key.
“Carmen.”
Setian put his hand on the hilt of his sword and spoke in a firm voice.
“Under any circumstance, the means you chose to steal cannot be justified. Listen carefully to what your father always says. Accomplishments obtained through dishonest means are worse than not being obtained. When the principles are set right, everything will stand in its place.”
Carmen clenched her fists.
“Brother, I also think that what my father said is right. I respect my father who always keeps his principles. But, but.”
He raised his head and glared fiercely at his brother. his own half-brother.
“Why did you ignore my mother with that ‘principle’? Isn’t it right to be responsible for at least one woman carrying a child of your own? Why did my mother have to leave the family without a rumor as soon as she gave birth to me!”
Carmen’s eyes widened.
“Among the laggards wandering around the streets, there are those who want to take responsibility for their own children. Brother, I dare to ask. Is the honor of the lofty ‘Sir Ansis Baltas’ less than the laggards in the streets? Every time I asked a question about my mother, my father stayed silent. No matter who saw it, it was a cowardly run. It was just a cowardly run! So I stole! To find my mother with my own hands. !”
“stop.”
Carmen kept her mouth shut. Setian silently looked at Carmen’s face.
“Did you really steal the ‘key’ to find your mother?”
“yes.”
Setian slowly closed and opened his eyes and slowly opened his mouth.
“I will ask my father for mercy.”
“older brother···.”
Carmen looked at Setian with trembling eyes. I was almost on the verge of crying.
Dacia, who was standing next to me, whispered in a low voice.
“He is a dear brother.”
“I can see it. Carmen has a good brother.”
As Setian’s gaze turned towards us, Dakia and I quickly fell apart. As if you didn’t say anything. He looked at our faces carefully and said.
“You showed an embarrassing face when you first met. My sister owes a lot to you…”
Setian checked Dakia’s face and slightly opened her eyes.
“Aren’t you the Princess of Dacia?”
Dacia cleared her throat with “Hmmmm” and replied in an elegant manner.
“It’s been a while. Sir Setian Baltas.”
“Why are you here and not at ‘Beatus’?”
She said it with the utmost confidence.
“I’m leaving the manor for a while and looking at the world.”
Setian looked at Dakia with indifferent eyes and gave a short reply.
“It’s not good to run away. Princess Princess, Miss Princess is sure to be worried.”
She shrugged and spoke in a calm tone.
“Don’t worry, my father won’t worry about me at all. By the way, how long will Carmen stay here?”
Seeing Carmen smiling awkwardly in prison, Setian shook his head.
“I think I will have to stay here for at least a month as my father ordered, but I will stop by today and ask for mercy.”
it’s a month that’s too long
Dacia scratched her chin next to me and asked me.
“What shall we do in the capital for a month?”
“Aren’t you supposed to be back as soon as possible?”
She shook her head.
“Really…? Priest Marnak, think about it. I’ve never urged you to go quickly.”
Seeing that, is that so?
“It certainly is, but…”
“Marnak?”
Setian, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, suddenly interrupted.
“Are you priest Marnak, who is said to be the enemy of evil spirits?”
I nodded.
“yes.”
He looked over at me and Dakia Sagitta Carmen before opening his mouth.
“So you’re saying that one of the ‘saviors of Eradico’ is Carmen?”
“you’re right.”
“Hmm.”
After a moment of silence, Setian spoke.
“It might make it a little easier to ask for mercy from your father. It’s very nice to meet you.”
He shook hands with the three of us in turn and said goodbye.
“During your stay in the capital, whenever you have a chance, please visit the Baltas family’s mansion with Carmen. I came here for a short while after hearing that Carmen was captured, so I’ll have to go.”
Accompanied by the sound of the clanking armor, Setian left without a single regret. I said looking at his back.
“He’s a very straightforward person.”
“My older brother is a very great person, unlike me. On the day my older brother got married, the eyes of the girls in the capital became wet, even the puppies passing by know the story. You are always an idol in my heart.”
Clear pride was evident on Carmen’s face as she praised Setian. Dacia asked playfully.
“Considering that, you’ve always been angry at the older brother you respect so much.”
Carmen scratched the back of her head and laughed.
“It’s because I’m the type of person who needs to say what I have to say. By the way, did you bring it to me that you held in your hand?”
“This one?”
Dacia glanced at Arras Grata, who had packed a lot of food after slightly raising her sashimi.
“We thought Carmen would be starving, so we bought some food for ourselves, but we were worried for nothing. We’re going to leave what we bought here, so let’s get rid of the grievances between the lovers we haven’t seen in a while. Of course, this is a detention center. Priest Marnak. I just remembered a really good restaurant, let’s go there.”
I glanced at Carmen’s lover, who gave off a squirrel-like aura, and smiled.
“That would be good for both of us. Sajita. Let’s quickly clear our seats for sweet lovers.”
While Aras Grata blushed slightly and lowered her head, Carmen gave me a grateful wink from behind.
Apparently, the bars in the detention center were a bit flimsy to separate the hot couple.
***
The staff at Ilech Headquarters located in the capital asked with a more serious face than ever.
“Does it really look like this?”
The priest of the blue flame nodded slightly. There was deep confidence in that nod.
“They look exactly the same.”
A picture that goes beyond crudeness and approaches promiscuity. Even if a three-year-old child could draw the face of his mother or father, he would draw it better than this.
The employee gulped. In my heart, I wanted to scream that humans who looked like this didn’t exist, but I had to be careful what I said because the other person was a priest of the Seonghwagyo. It wasn’t just a priest of red flames, but the woman in front of him was a priest of blue flames, one of only three in Seonghwagyo.
A real fucking giant. As for the information about their existence, the Priests of the Blue Flame themselves did not come out well in the main body of the Seonghwa Church, so few people knew about it, but it was a story that they, who belonged to ‘Ilech’, could not have known.
The headquarters staff pursed their lips a few times and struggled to speak again.
“If you’re not rude, are you really human beings you’re looking for?”
“Once they’re human, they’re human. I’m not sure if they’re really human.
‘Never know!!! You never know!!!’
Swallowing a scream inwardly, he carefully took out a pen and paper and handed it to the priest of the blue flame. He was too big a deal to turn down the request, so he had to somehow get as much information as possible.
“We need additional information, so please write down your impression of the person you are looking for in as much detail as possible.”
“all right.”
“By the way. How much is the commission fee…?”
Such a vague request started with at least a hundred gold coins. really minimal. Because this was Ilech’s ‘headquarters’, not another place.
“Ah, if it’s money, I’ve brought enough thanks to catching some bounty criminals while coming here.”
“Oh, is that so?”
fortunately out of misfortune Even such a vague search for someone could be done as long as the request fee was sufficient. The blue-haired woman chinned the pocket she was wearing around her waist and placed it on the desk.
“In total, it’s a whopping 12 gold coins and 33 silver coins. This should be enough, right?”
Microscopic cracks went to the employee’s face. The priest of the blue flame tilted his head and asked.
“Have you taken out too much? Shall I take a little less?”
***
‘Murder at!’
The mother, who changed into the form of a girl, was wearing a dragon while holding a bead containing divinity. According to my mother, I was able to unravel the divinity a little bit because I grew up a little, but she said that it would still take some time to completely unravel it.
‘Kill!!!’
The angry mother picked up a marble from the floor and was about to throw it, but then looked at me and put the marble next to her. Mother’s tiny shoulders drooped.
“You worked hard today. It will be solved someday.”
My mother crawled on the bed and burrowed into my arms.
‘Kill, kill…’
When I patted him on the back, my mother whined, saying that the nasty bead is so tenacious.
I calmed my mother and thought about the schedule ahead.
Information given by the Trumpeter of Rest. If my guess is correct, there was one holy relic with the mother’s divinity sealed here in the capital.
The problem is that there is nowhere to get the right information.
In the end, I have no choice but to use it.
smart.
Dakia’s voice was heard behind the regular knocking sound.
“may I come in?”
‘killing!!!’
I opened the door, trying to soothe my mother who was screaming to just get off. Dacia brushed her wet hair and smiled.
“Your mother was there too!”
“Come in at once.”
Squeak. Dakia, who entered after closing the door, was hiding something behind her. She laughed in a sinister voice.
“Hehehe. You won’t be able to easily refuse to touch me today.”
‘killing!’
Mother quickly spread the middle fingers of both hands to Dacia. She didn’t care at all and took out the thing she had hidden behind. It was bread and candy. Bread and candy with pockets full of that too.
“This is a snack I bought from a bakery that is famous for its super deliciousness even in the capital city! As for these breads, this bread is called cream puff bread, and the stuff inside is super sweet and delicious. Even my mother would really like it! Priest Marnac should try it too!”
After dinner, he said he would go somewhere else, so he went to buy it.
I smiled and put my mother on the floor.
“Mother, it must be very delicious. Try one.”
Mother looked at me with her eyes narrowed, then slowly walked towards Dacia. As she approached, Dacia’s expression brightened. She took a piece of bread from her pocket and held it out to her mother. ”
Go ahead and try it! I’ll be sure to thank you with a hug!”
Her black and green eyes turned to Dakia. Mother slowly reached out her hand.
Slap.
The bread in Dakia’s hand rolled on the floor. She Mother shook off her hand and said coldly,
‘I’m!!!’
A declaration that I am not a being seduced by matter. Of course, that voice didn’t reach Dakia. But even without it, the meaning was conveyed enough. Dakia looked at her mother with gloomy eyes and put the bag in her hand down on the floor
. “Eat this, Priest Marnac.”
Before I could say anything, Dakia opened the door and left the room.
I’m sorry about this.
She
picked up the rolled bread, put it in her mouth, and chewed it. It was a waste to just throw it away. Picking up the liver bag, I said to my mother,
“Your mother was a little harsh this time. Aren’t there different ways to reject? Dacia bought this bread for her mother as a pure favor.” I
gestured to her from the bed, and my mother trudged over and sat down next to me.
“Mother. I know better than anyone that my mother, whom I admire, is a very elegant and dignified person. And he knows how to admit mistakes.”
My mother glanced at my face and said in a low voice.
‘Killing…’
When she said that she would apologize after that, I smiled and took a cream puff out of my pocket and told my mother. He held out,
“Did you promise me? Anyway, give this a try. It must be very delicious.”
My mother took a bite of the bread I held out. The change was dramatic. The
pupils dilated. Hands trembled slightly. Feet patted naturally
.
“This is ridiculous,” said my mother, who quickly ate up the cream puffs and reached out to me. I smiled and handed the whole pouch to my mother. Because there was no way my mother would get cavities from eating too many snacks. My mother put the bag on her lap and said
: I picked up a piece of cream puff bread in each hand and took turns pushing it into my mouth. My cheeks, which exceeded the amount I could hold, swelled up. And then, the door opened with a
squeaking
sound .
I couldn’t eat. That one alone…”
Tuk.
The cream puffs in Mother’s mouth fell to the floor. The mother with full cheeks looked at Dakia with a lost expression. It was a disaster caused by Dakia’s unexpected revisit.
I refused so coldly, but as soon as I went, I was caught grabbing my cheeks and eating them. Seeing
this, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to hide in a rat hole.
Dakia, who finished grasping the situation, gave a winner’s smile.
“That’s so delicious, right?
” His head fell helplessly, saying
‘killing…’
but saying that it was really delicious.
