My father's cold blood.

After the young lady revealed her father's sins, a painful silence came to her ears. The Earl had just put his arms around the lady without showing surprise since earlier, the Deacon closed his eyes with a difficult face, and Captain Maxim had opened his mouth gently enough to understand.

Of course it was the lady who broke the silence.

"Your father knew the Riviere family was the mastermind behind the talent pearls, but he couldn't help it. Your father is the only one who can prove their lies, no matter how much you had the 'magic eye of the hearing'. Even if you can be stronger in the aristocracy, which is lower than the countenance, you can't help the higher, this national number of dukes. So your father first planned the attempted poisoning (...) of Master Kurvshrat. —— Captain Maxim"

As the lady suddenly spoke, the captain reacted with a high voice, "Yes," he said.

"From what I heard earlier, I meant Reggie didn't know, but weren't you brought some kind of medication when your father went to The budding and crescent dinner party?

"Uh, ah, yes, 'a panacea that isn't there, but works on all kinds of poisons, so that if anyone falls, let them swallow' —— ah"

Captain Maxim, who seemed to be right (Bingo) but was only asked by the deacon to say "don't say anything extra", is holding his mouth.

"As a father, you would have assumed that either the Etang of the Ebagne family or the Etang escort would see through the poison. In the unlikely event that Master Kurvshrat swallows the poison, Captain Maxim can cure it. But in that case, Captain Maxim's behavior becomes so suspicious that his subsequent behavior is restricted… and similarly, Reggie's discovery of the poison has restricted your father's behavior in the same way."

Breaking through the poison, curing the poison, is the sword of all the blades that they say, "You're the killer." Therefore, the Count's next hand will have to wait until most of it cools down -- about January (...).

"The poisoned man immediately... killed him, didn't he? If you save the man with frozen demon props, you can let him keep the flesh. For the most part, I asked the Evigne family to spot the poison, your father witnessed a man in the Riviere family, etc., and if a man's body was found in the Riviere family, he would wave a major player and do a search for the Riviere family —— that's what he was planning to do. Your father has secured the man's body, so you can twist as much evidence as you want. Your father had the certainty that the Riviere family was a mastermind about the talent pearl streams, and you knew that if you looked it up, you'd get proof, didn't you?

It was a bizarre coin for the Count that Uroboros broke out. Weren't you going to do it even after the gift pearl award ceremony? The Count had to give priority, above all, to giving the lady a gifted pearl.

The Count must have other hands than Captain Maxim. A lot of people are out there killing their breath and lurking when they're talking to Elle at St. Royal Palace today. I didn't dare tell you.

The unnaturalness is lesser even if the body where the damage has progressed has been placed in the midst of the destruction of the mansion.

"It's a brilliant deduction"

The Earl laughed -- calmly.

I neither denied nor affirmed it.

"You're already... completely aristocratic"

"... it's about your father's education."

"No--"

The Earl looked at me. [M]

"... Eva must have learned something desperate to think about. Because of someone (...)"

Is that me? No, you're not, are you?

"Count, I wanted to ask you something, too."

"What is it? Someone (...)"

Is that me, after all?

"... uh, the Count didn't know anything was going to happen at the gifted pearl award ceremony, did he? But the Count wasn't at the award ceremony. why is that"

"Oh, it's easy. There will be many clerics at the awards ceremony. It was my chance to check out the cleric's private room, where the genius pearls were lying in the Riviere family. I discovered a secret book with the Riviere family —— it said," Destroy it immediately, "but you wanted to keep it as a cleric, not to be betrayed by the Riviere family."

I see. Was the award ceremony the best environment to examine clerics? The Count had reason to wait for the award ceremony......

"Then a dark dome appeared, so I detected an anomaly and looked for something that was going to be a weapon and happened to take the stone (...) I found. That stone has always had a reputation for having special powers."

Well, after all, I couldn't destroy it with the Count's fine arms, so I decided to destroy it instead.

"Count, why did the cleric give the Libiere family a gifted pearl? It's a felony, isn't it?

"It's also an easy thing. It's money.... as Eva keeps in mind. The majority of the world gets a piece with money. And people break themselves down with money and drive their lives crazy."

The glances of the lady and the count collide.

I don't know what the lady is thinking right now. When you revealed this speculation to me —— and perhaps the truth —— I was still so blue that I was about to fall. But now the lady looks ready.

"Father. Did your father dye his hands illegally again to defraud you? Until you take a man's life."

Did I have to make the lady throw up these words —— I asked myself many times. Even I was unawares that the Count was acting strangely, and I had some suspicion. But the lady noticed before me. If I hadn't told the lady something extra, the Count would have misled her with a beautiful lie.

The lady is only 12 years old.

How much "adulthood," though, must we show the "adult" filth and make it obligatory as soon as it does?

(If I had been a little smarter, the lady wouldn't have noticed)

Still —— although the lady later, I don't know if it's months or years —— I think I got to the truth myself and questioned the Count from the front this way.

If you mean it.

Where I can't see, where I don't know, where I can't hear, I wanted you to do it.

That was my false feelings.

This is too much.

"... the poisoned man was originally the man who was supposed to be executed. A man of the aristocracy who was involved in the flanking of genius pearls, he somehow (...) managed to escape without being caught. The man understood his sins, and he knew that they would extend to his wife and children, who were luxurious with their own money."

The Count cut words there.

I'm sure the Count took the deal... if you give him your life, his wife will ask no questions.

"Father, sin must be judged by law."

"Exactly. I'm sure the Rivieres will be brought to justice."

Oh... this guy decided to "treat" the lady like an adult. That is also evident from the wording.

And I must have decided that I wouldn't show any more seriousness than treating you as an "adult".

Even if it was only two fathers and daughters.

…………

The lady's side was distressed. He looked like he was crying.

I guess the lady expected the Count to tell her everything. That's why we talked face-to-face.

I felt it was a "bad bet," and unfortunately, I had a good feeling about it.

"Eva. There is no 'justice' for everyone to admit. The human resource bureau you smashed into believing you were 'wrongdoing' was also 'justice' for those who wanted to sell themselves and get their money."

"Don't delude yourself with mere rhetoric"

"What 'truth' did you find out this time by moving yourself? I'm guessing it's all just the 'info' that Reggie told you about, right?

"It's..."

"Is it possible that Mr. Reggie is spitting lies?

"--Huh!?"

A frightened lady looks at me like she's scared.

(... Count, you won't have that)

I thought this was, in a way, a "parent-child genka". The lady is angry and the Count begs forgiveness. How good would it have been if it had fit so easily?

Even I understand the Count's position. The Count thought that because he truly thought of this country, he should do whatever he could to eliminate the injustice of the "one day altar", the heart of this country - even if he dyed his hands in sin.

But the relationship between me and your daughter is completely irrelevant. If you want to get me involved, I have an idea.

"Count. I will step down from my assignment as escort to the Sullies family today. This is for the duration of the contract, so I'll pay you back all my benefits."

!?

The lady dyes her face in surprise this time.

"So my involvement with the Sullies family is no longer there, and my interests have disappeared. Ma'am, I'm not lying to you about one thing. You know my secret I confessed to you this morning, right?

What does the Count want with me and the lady? You think you can just break a word like this? —— No, what else makes more sense?

"... sorry, Reggie. It's my fault I messed up. Something you can't possibly throw up. So don't tell me to stop the escort."

"That's right, Mr. Reggie. If you stop the escort, you won't get what you want, either, will you?

"No, Count. I got one today."

"... what?

The Count shouldn't even know about the conversation with Mr. Elle, so I honestly felt a little better when he saw the Count's face like he was being poked in the void.

"So either... we needed to leave here before it was too far away."

"... Reggie, what do you mean?

"Ma'am, we'll talk about this later"

…………

The lady looked "unconvinced,"

"I'm sure."

And at the end, he convinced me.

Although,

"That might have been convenient in a way (...)"

The Count spoke of what could destroy the lady's satisfaction.

"What does that mean"

It is only at this time that I will know what "Lord Cold Blood" is, in the true sense of the word.

"The House of the Six Grand Dukes is quite troublesome, and even if the evidence comes out, they defy it by saying what it is. Even if His Majesty the Holy King puts out for this purpose, it will not be so easy to crush you. Not to mention the fact that I —— but the Counts have gone out a lot, so there's a strong backlash from the Dukes outside the Riviere family."

"... what the hell are you talking about?

"I mean, in some way, it's shaped like 'pain sharing'... we need something to show off. That is, for example, the pattern of an active hero (...)."

The Earl had the most refreshing smile I had ever seen.

"Sometimes, Mr. Reggie. You have something to hide from me (...), don't you?

Something even crawled into my spine. [M]

Really... the Count already knows my secret. That I'm supposed to have dark hair and dark eyes.

"The Duke of Evegne family says that our family has (...) a dark-haired, dark-eyed 'Child of Disaster'. And if I'm offering you, let's say I didn't see the fall of my Count's house... and if you're not an escort anymore, there's no reason to protect you, is there?

At that time, there were signs of a lot of people making a scene across the window that it was so late at night.

"Hmm...... what a quick thing I told you to do tomorrow at noon. The gesture of the Duke of Evegne's house must have arrived."

Have we talked yet? Between the Count and the House of the Duke of Evegne.

How much further is this man reading? Did you know the lady was going to strangle you? No, even if I don't know, maybe this guy is --.

(Were you going to confess to the lady from yourself?

If that's all you were prepared for, was it rather from the Count that the lady spotted the truth herself —— a joy (...)?

"Eva, Mr. Reggie. What will you do? Do you still scream 'Justice'? Or do you want to help do 'great justice' while you know 'injustice'?

That means the Count is telling the lady and I to be one of them. That way —— you're gonna protect me.
