Marquis' Express Butler

210. Time of Judgment (2)

“What the...? No, I don't know what you're talking about. What's wrong with that? The Dark Magic Gate?...... Second, I heard you were in your room because you weren't feeling well. ”

“There was a stunt for the second Duke. He was also locked in a dungeon. ”

Lawyer Roy kept his manners but made the construction clear. That's why his words looked so cold.

“A stunt?”

Earl Kronos looks unbelievable and slowly steps forward. And I looked down at the order, and I started reading it with my hands.

“ ……. ”

“Prague went to the hideout where the altar had been set and did something impossible. All those acts are written in the ordinance. ”

The hand of Earl Kronos, who was reading the order, begins to tremble. It was only a matter of time before all the negative emotions that man could feel were flashed on his face.

Shortly after, the erl has finished his monopoly.

“This absurd novel... Ugh. ”

Suddenly, the erl turns around. Was there blood pressure? Everyone was surprised. Well, he's old enough to be dangerous.

“Mr. President!”

Attorney General Roy jumped out and supported the Marquis, but Confucius Hamel was merely a bystander. Even in the back.

Apparently, he didn't really think of the Marquis as his father. They seem to think of themselves as something that will connect the family and the legacy.

Shouldn't you at least pretend to be a saint to take something with you?

Suddenly, I thought of Sapiella, who told me about her mother before. He seemed to have died at an early age, but he might have something to do with it.

Either way, they weren't born in a closet. It is speculated that Confucius Hamel's vendetta may be there.

We'll have to ask the Confucius later if it's real.

“Do you understand now? why I woke up my sleeping father. ”

“Duke, we need to call our attendings now. I'm worried about your octopus. ”

“Stop. I'm not done talking to you. And there's nothing good about calling someone else. Dad, are you okay? ”

Confucius Hamel speaks voluntarily, and the Grand Duke of Kronos takes a deep breath. He raises his head again. It meant it was okay.

Roy retreats, and Earl Kronos stands upright. Then I stared at Confucius Hamel.

“How... did you figure this out? ”

Confucius Hamer, who knew he would turn everything into his own ball, reached out his hand and pointed to me. Very confident.

“Lord Dylan here risked his life to find a hideout and stop a sinner's plot. ”

“Sinner...... Where is your brother?" ”

“My brother? If it was Kaien, he'd be in his chambers right now. ”

“You!”

The baron deserves a turn. Confucius Hamel spoke sarcastically and denied the second. If it wasn't for the difference in identity, I'd punch you in the back.

As a third party, I'd hate to see it, but as far as the Marquis is concerned,

I'm afraid of having a son like this. Honestly.

“I'm not kidding about being thrown in the dungeon. He's a sinner. Rather, we should deny that Adeline's blood is mixed. ”

Earl Kronos asks Roy if he was frustrated.

“Two, are you okay? ”

“He's fine. He's unconscious because he was wounded in battle. ”

“Battle.”

The eyes of Earl Kronos are upon me. I see why Confucius Hamel made me an official earlier. I wanted to emphasize that I stabbed him in the abdomen.

No matter how wrong you are, no father wants to put a knife in his brother's body.

Confucius Hamel is well aware of that. That's why you're pretending to throw the ball at me.

“Your life won't be in jeopardy because you've taken first aid. He's got a doctor on his hands, so he should be awake soon. I want to leave it as it is. ”

The late Chronos listens to Prince Hamel's explanation. He noticed me.

“I'll ask the lord. ”

“Greet him.”

“Couldn't stop it without a knife? ”

Why did you write it all down? You must have read it out loud. I wanted to sigh, but I replied calmly and patiently because of the consequences.

“The gate was half open. If it hadn't hurt your body, the castle house would be burning in hell by now. ”

“Have you seen the Devil? ”

“I saw you hitchhike across the gate. They were very scary. I'm afraid it will come out in my dreams. ”

“Hmm."

The baroness waves her arms as if she were stuffy. We remained silent and waited for the erl to come to some conclusion.

It was a matter of time anyway.

The evidence was clear, and there were four witnesses. Above all, the site is preserved, so it is enough for the second prince to be discovered in the morning.

The monarch repeats the word "unbelievable" like a parrot or like a psychopath.

“But if you don't believe me, we can bring more witnesses. because there are children being abducted and rescued. It's very well preserved. But it's hard to preserve for long. Wouldn't it be a problem if the Church smelled it? ”

“…… I'll check the site tomorrow. The rescued children...... How far do they know? ”

“I know his friends were murdered. ”

Earl Kronos closes his eyes in a cold word of Confucius Hamel.

“Sir Lloyd and Sir Dylan are leaving. ”

“Take orders. ”

The Marquis seems to want to speak with Confucius Hamel alone. Me and Sir Roy are outside. As the Attorney General, his thoughts seemed complicated.

“Looks like we've come up with a secret to take to the grave. ”

“I'm not sure I have to take it to the grave. ”

“Sir Dylan. What the hell!”

He thinks I'm trying to leak this. Lord Lloyd's face turns to dirt.

“Did you not hear what the Grand Duke said? If the Church finds out about this, it will be very troubling. What if the paladins come at us in a state of turmoil? ”

“You've gone too far. I didn't mean that……. ”

Children who didn't know their faces or names were sacrificed, and that only hurt their hearts.

“We can live our lives with our secrets in mind, but the parents of the children who have been sacrificed have to live their lives with their children in their arms. Compared to them, we are blessed. ”

“ ……. ”

Lord Lloyd doesn't say anything about suffocating. I also turned away clear-headed because I felt something strange after doing it.

“I'll take the Prince with me. Please leave first.”

“Very well. Well, Lord Dylan. ”

“Yes.”

“I guess I shouldn't have said that. You're right. I'm in the position of raising children, which makes me strangely empathetic. May the sacrificed souls rest in peace. ”

He set an example first, and I bowed my head and walked him out.

But my interest was elsewhere. I immediately injected Mana into my hearing. And I focused on the stories that were heard in the room.

― I don't intend to make things big.

The first thing I heard was Confucius Hamel's. Postwar events have been greatly noted. We'll discuss how to fix this.

Of course, Cainan, the eldest, will have to take the lead on this, but since it's a matter of fact, he wanted to keep it as secret as possible.

Anyway, one of the words of the prince that he didn't intend to make things big meant something.

I literally have the key to this situation, because I commanded it.

Perhaps he brought it up to intimidate the Grand Marquis, Prince Prague's biological father, the head of the Adeline family.

- But it's the same blood as you. As a brother…….

- Father, I never thought of myself as a sinner's blood. It's not because she's someone else. I'm speaking for the honor of the family. Still don't know?

There is no answer. I pretended to be on guard and continued to focus on my hearing.

- I'll end this quietly. Sinners won't be able to use Mana anymore anyway. If we keep them locked up in the dungeons forever, we'll be able to tie them up without anyone knowing.

- It's too cruel. How can I spend my life in the dungeon....

- Wake up! A sinner is a murderer who has killed dozens of innocent children! There's no such thing as cruel execution for a murderer!

I almost lost my hearing.

Confucius Hamel was excited. I kept listening, lowering Manawa a little.

- Was it a lie to say that the people soon became like their children? You're just gonna hand them over to their own children for murder? Ha, that's ridiculous. If you're so pathetic, you'll have to be judged by the Church. As soon as the day comes, I will hand over all relevant data to the Church.

There was no answer.

After a moment of silence, the voice was the Marquis's.

- What do you want?

- I want a legitimate succession.

The prince hurled a straight line. Soon the strike declaration will be dropped.

- Do as you will. Connecting families is for those with abilities. As a firstborn, I had no intention of subjugating the family.

- I'm glad to hear that.

- Don't take your brother's life instead. I feel sorry for him. Why don't you quarantine him until this blows over?

- Are you trying to make a deal with me?

- Everyone makes mistakes. You've made countless mistakes so far.

- This is different from that.

It's the same thing after all. Everything comes from the greed of man.

The Confucius could not answer. I turned the horse instead.

- Okay, let's do it this time. But I hope you'll clarify your succession soon. To compete fairly and win.

― …… Sure.

- It's too late. Get some rest.

In the end, Confucius Hamel became fully committed to this task. Soon the door opened, and a smiling Confucius came out.

“Were you waiting? ”

“I think I have some good news. ”

“Hahahaha! You're quick to notice. My father decided to acknowledge me. Now all we have to do is fight with Kaien. ”

The princess smiled and shouldered.

“Let's go! Drink up your nose today! You want to call a girl?”

“Is it time for a drink? I'm afraid we're gonna have to deal with this. ”

“That's my father's job. ”

“Irresponsible.”

“I'm responsible for giving birth to such a child. Oh, you don't know that because you don't have a child. ”

That's what you do.

I wanted to express it because I felt like it, but I didn't want to ruin the feeling of a burning prince.

That way, I was drawn to the prince's hands and shook his hand in his room.

Until the film breaks.
