After I sent out the messenger, I was gathered in the living room to talk.
"Nevertheless, who is the Virgin? That's amazing..."
Everyone was watching Judith with an eye for strange things.
As Isaac, I'd like to avoid it, but it really becomes the subject of the Virgin.
So I try to follow up somehow.
"As for that, Mr. Judith doesn't want to be called the Virgin. I think I should treat you as a normal girl, too."
"Why not? It's not amazing that a knife doesn't stab you. Something that will bleed even if you use magic to heal your injury."
When Bridget asked, "What's wrong with special treatment? react."
This is not harassment, it's a pure question.
But it's just a pure question, and it's hard to get rid of.
I needed a proper answer.
"That's why. Mr. Judith has an understated personality. You don't like to stand out flashly in public. Even if you don't like being treated special as a Virgin, it stands out. There was just such a case. I'll make it easier for you while you're in this mansion."
Isaac cares about Judith.
Of course, there is a desire to divert the subject from the knife by doing this.
"You sure don't feel that way right now, do you?"
Tiffany knows exactly how Judith feels right now.
Exactly, my life was never in danger, but it's the same thing that my fiancée threw me away.
If Isaac hasn't called you in that sense, I was going to act from you.
"At times like this...... Caged in my room, without worrying about my eyes..."
Tiffany tries to advise Judith, but it was something called "crying all you want on your own".
But that's not what you do when there are people around you who worry about you.
I try to say something else I care about, but I can't think of a good word.
The best I could do was gently rub Judith's back crying while holding Margaret.
(Speaking of which, you did the same thing when I did)
Lisa and Patrick were there for me when I was grieving over getting along with my family.
I was just saying someone would stay by my side, and my grief was soothing.
I don't know what Tiffany is thinking, but I just found out that he's trying to comfort Judith.
It may be because there were just no other suitable relatives, but there seemed to be no mistake in Morgan's candidacy.
"By the way, I'd like to see a knife, too. If you give it as an artifact, it'll be preserved in the church and invisible, won't it? Can you just show me a little before we do that?
Claude, who had difficulty comforting Judith like the women, returned to the knife.
It has something to do with the story of the Virgin, but we don't talk about the Virgin directly.
I decided to touch on a topic of interest just to distract me for a moment.
But that was inconvenient for Isaac to try to get out of the way.
"The knife--"
"I don't want to see it"
Judith pinched his mouth as Isaac tried to delude him.
"That's right. You don't want to see it now. I know you're interested, but wait until Mr. Judith calms down a little bit. We also have time to offer it to the church."
"So is that. I'm sorry. I was a little excited to hear you talk."
Isaac was also telling everyone about "I'll give you the knife when we're done discussing it with Seth and Count Lancaster".
Which means Count Lancaster has time to arrive.
Claude pulled me back because I had ample opportunity to check the knife.
(Glad to hear it out to Judith)
Maybe I just don't really want to see a knife that reminds me of the burning, but her follow up was helpful.
I'd appreciate it if Norman could buy me some time to deal with it.
But I know Judith is scared, but we have to talk about what lies ahead.
Not just to mislead the knife thing, but for Judith's sake.
"It would be better if Mr. Judith settled down after talking about knives and the Virgin... Even if it's hard, I think we should think about what we're going to do. Especially Michael. I don't know if I'll forgive you..."
It was Tiffany, not Isaac, who cut out that topic.
She knew from her own experience that she needed to know what to do with her fiancée in the future.
- It was Michael who accused Judith of being a witch.
It's very different from when you are, but what you do with your fiancée matters.
"Hey, Mr. Judith. The sooner you express your intentions, the more you can move in the direction you want. When I said I wanted a chance to start over with Charles, Isaac moved in that direction."
Tiffany looks at Isaac with her moist eyes.
I don't even know if I'm sad or impressed by remembering what happened at the time.
(Don't look at me like that. It was working for me...)
All Isaac knows is that it inspires guilt.
Rather than saving Tiffany, I just did it by saving Charles to keep Nicole from breaking her mood.
I was feeling more awkward than grateful and happy.
"What does Mr. Judith think of Michael? Of course, if we don't talk directly, it's gonna be hard to judge."
"... Enough"
Judith thought a little about Tiffany's question before answering.
In her, I guess Michael is no longer his own fiancée.
They almost killed me, so maybe it's natural.
"Are you sure? You just heard people like Isaac and Graham talking, right? Maybe I just pressed charges...... that's unforgivable though. You don't have to check? Where did Isaac find out?
Tiffany asked Judith if she didn't have to be careful and asked Isaac to corroborate the information.
"I just sickled Graham after seeing how Michael was doing these days."
Isaac didn't tell me that Judith was talking to him.
It's not a good idea to talk to Bella about the contents of the secret consultation.
"I'm glad you saved me, but I don't want to get the rating of a light-mouthed, shitty man".
I can't even say, "I knew who did it in my previous life," so I misled by saying something like that.
"Oh, my God, it's Isaac."
Tiffany was convinced by the answer.
If it's Isaac, it's because of the trust he has in knowing.
But it was also proof that Michael was bad.
"So, what are you thinking about doing with the Count Brander family?
Margaret asks Isaac.
This wasn't just about her, it was about all the people in this room.
"No, especially"
He said, "I'm not doing anything!
Margaret's eyes sharpen.
Isaac wandered unexpectedly.
"Didn't your wife say when Charles moved it would matter? So I'm thinking I'll leave it to Uncle Lancaster's discretion."
"What are you talking about? Charles cut Tiffany a goodbye from the front properly even then. But Michael will be different. I guess it's because I couldn't cut out my own goodbyes anyway, such as accusing my own fiancée of being a witch. That's what hipsters do! You don't have to shy away from Michael or anything!
"Such an unscrupulous..."
Margaret didn't seem to like what Michael did.
Pretty angry.
(Oh, speaking of which, Bridget was angry, too)
No matter how much Bridget, you understand what it means to magically blow up the other person's house.
"I'm on Judith's side," even if I just teach you with an attitude, it's a little too much.
Her words may be quite mixed with her heart.
(Don Mai, Michael)
Isaac sympathizes with Michael.
There's something about Nicole, so Isaac was going to give her some warmth.
No, I'm still going to do that, to be exact.
But Isaac, there's nothing you can do about it on your own.
- I bought your ladies' discomfort.
Word of mouth networks are powerful in a world without television or radio.
If Margaret speaks ill of Michael to the wives she knows, it should eventually spread to all the kingdom nobles.
If a bad reputation spreads, it will also be difficult to find a replacement for Judith.
If things don't go well with Nicole, you'll have a lonely life.
And that's not all.
The position of the Count Brander family also deteriorates significantly.
Though the male superior world, there is also a certain number of houses where wives lay their husbands on their asses, like the relationship between Raymond and Abigail.
In houses with strong women's opinions, some may take a policy to side with the Count Lancaster family because of their disgust with Michael.
Unlike Charles, the consequences of not facing your fiancée from the front are going to be terrible.
"So I'm not going to act directly. It's for Mr. Judith to discuss and decide with his family. Mr. Judith's personality is protected by the Dukes of Enfield and the Marquis of Wellrod, so I'm going to go so far as to tell him not to do anything about it in the future."
So just for that matter, Isaac took care of Michael.
If you say "let's do it thoroughly" or something like that here to Isaac, I don't know what will happen to Michael.
Besides, I want to avoid saying things that badly shelter Michael and discredit him.
As you have thought from the beginning, it is best to proceed in a direction that leaves it to the Earl of Lancaster to punish you, and to follow through with insignificance.
"I don't mind worrying about Mr. Judith, but please refrain from overreacting. 'Who wants to be angry most right now? Be sure to act with that in mind."
"Right..."
Margaret and the others listened very carefully to Isaac.
Words are right, too, but calm I don't think after I helped Judith.
That calm allowed me to listen honestly.
"My lord, if you'll excuse me while I talk to you. The messenger is back."
Here the butler reports to Isaac.
He must have returned from a noble place with a mansion nearby.
(Which means you'll keep coming back)
"Listen to the report in my room. Grandma, Mr. Bridget, Tiffany. Stay with Mr. Judith."
Isaac decided to get a report in his room.
Because I thought Judith wouldn't be comfortable coming to the report one after another.
I entrusted my grandmothers with Judith and went back to my room.
----------
"Thank you for your hard work. Return to normal business until instructed."
Isaac speaks the words of labor to those who were in use.
The report itself was that we had all received the same reply, "I understand."
Inside, he said, "Got it. But just in case, we'll check here and then we'll cooperate," he also replied cautiously.
I can't help it either.
It's so sudden that it's natural to be cautious.
Isaac also shows understanding in their judgment.
Matt had reported that he had "received a letter from the other side so he didn't rub it".
So much so that the knights of the Count Brander family are secured by the royal family as witnesses.
Naturally, you won't be willing to cause any more disturbance to the rest of us.
Though I had thought so, there was also the possibility that Michael would order and be in contention.
Isaac thought it wasn't a mistake to let Matt go just in case.
And finally...
"I'm back now"
- Norman is coming.
He made his way to the Marquis Windsor house. After that, he was stopping by, so I knew it would be the last.
"How'd it go?
"The Marquis Windsor family replied," I will cooperate. "
"What? Did you get a response?
The Lord, the Marquis of Windsor, should be in the Royal Palace.
So Morgan was supposed to explain it to him.
It's what's left of the Windsor Marquis Mansion, and no one should be able to respond on their own.
If I did that, I wouldn't have had to be angry.
"Lady Pamela was angry at me for 'treating her fiancée like a witch and trying to kill her, etc.' He wanted me to convince Lord Windsor to cooperate."
"Oh, Mr. Pamela."
(Was there something I thought would happen to her?
Pamela also feels in danger for herself.
Maybe you want to increase your allies by working with the Count Lancaster family.
Nevertheless, not everyone and he all intend to move.
There is also the possibility that you just want to help people in need.
Isaac was thinking of telling a story about this and seeing him again.
"And that's what you want, but there was both."
When Norman put the bag on his desk, he removed the knife from inside.
Isaac checks the knife.
It was something with a proper blade.
"You were able to prepare it sooner than I thought."
"Originally, the premise was to produce it as a toy, so they were diverting the shape of the knife so that it could be mass produced. So I have received the normal knife as it is"
"I see.... After all, I'm glad I didn't sell it out as a toy. The same shape as a normal knife can cause an accident."
Isaac thought again that he was right in his judgment.
It was for Kendra, but if it had been sold out to the public, there could have been an accident where a child stabbed a person with a real knife by mistake.
"What about the toy knife?
"I wasn't sure if I could act on my own, but the furnace got into my eyes, so I threw it inside"
"It's a good way to get rid of the evidence. That's fine. If you leave it, you don't know where to expose it. Well done."
He also knew that the toy knife was quite dangerous.
To turn it off completely, you just have to melt it.
So I decided to get permission from the Gray Chamber of Commerce to put it in the furnace.
I was also prepared to be pissed off "don't act unsolicited," but Isaac appeases me without reprimanding me.
"And I prepared this one too.... Are you sure you want to do this? The Gray Chamber of Commerce was also confused."
What Norman then took out was a silver kachusha.
But plain objects with no decorations at all.
It is only a C-shaped elongated plate.
It's too plain for Isaac to ask for.
"This is fine. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Today, you need to rest because there won't be any more work. Just remember that you may be going to the Royal Palace tomorrow. Thank you very much."
Norman followed Isaac's instructions and left the room with a courtesy.
Isaac giggles with Katyusha in his hand when he puts the knife at his desk.
(As long as this... Phew Phew)
- Katyusha.
But this is what separates my destiny.
All I had to do was figure out how to get it to Judith successfully.
----------
Morgan returns and finishes dinner.
Then, his story began.
"Judith, Your Majesty was worried about you. The royal family will send a messenger to weigh himself in on the Count Brander family."
Let me start by telling you that Elias moved to protect me so that Judith can feel safe.
"And Isaac. His Majesty wants to speak with the Archbishop tomorrow morning. Go to school after the discussion."
The Count Brander family is a rare neutralist for a territorially held nobleman.
For that reason, Count Cooper, headed by the Neutralists, must have also been summoned.
"Okay. Is Mr. Judith or Michael being summoned, too?
"No, they're not called. Suddenly it was decided that it would be cruel to make them face to face. If we go to school, we'll meet face to face...... You can rest until your family gets here."
The second half of the word was directed at Judith.
Exactly. I guess Judith doesn't want to look at each other either.
I nod to Kokli and tell him my will to "rest".
"You're here. You've experienced something no one's ever experienced before. You should rest for a while."
"... thank you, sir"
As Morgan put it, Judith had an experience no one had ever experienced.
- That he was about to be executed and that he was treated like a Virgin.
Both are rare experiences.
It's something no one else can imagine, not just Morgan.
I can only rely on a place and time to calm down, than my family is not in the King's Capital.
And my family couldn't prepare it for Morgan, but I was going to offer it to them because I could have a place and time.
"So.... His Majesty says he wants to see the knife that did the miracle. Do you mind if I show you?
I look at Isaac with Morgan's worried eyes.
He knows the knife is fake.
I wanted to know if you let Norman prepare a replacement.
"It's okay. I'm ready to show you, Your Majesty."
"Well, then bring it tomorrow"
"Okay."
If a replacement is available, that's fine.
Morgan tried to end this topic.
- But I couldn't end it.
"Oh, then maybe you want me to show it to you first. You want a church, too, don't you? You might say His Majesty will keep it or something."
Because Bridget said, "I want you to show it to me before it's deposited".
(Something extra...)
Isaac pounds his tongue in his heart.
But I don't have a problem showing it anymore.
There was no reason to say no.
"Okay. Some things I'd like to give to Mr. Judith, so I'll bring them with me."
Isaac says so, then goes back to his room and brings a knife and a kachusha.
At that time, for some reason, the maid with the garden was with her.
Pass the knife to Morgan first.
"Just in case, make sure."
"Okay."
As Morgan pulls the knife out of his sheath, he checks the tip of the blade.
It's a common, cheap knife with no weights or other puzzling points.
But it was also a real knife enough to stab people.
Confirm that and nod satisfactorily.
"Mr. Judith. I know you're scared of knives, but I'm gonna give you this, so be patient."
Isaac shows Katyusha.
That didn't look like such a substitute to give to a woman.
Judith is not the only one, and the rest of the women shake their necks.
But Isaac ignores their reaction and turns behind Judith.
"This is for Mr. Judith. Trust me, stay jizzy for a while."
Isaac commands a maid with a girlfriend to "do it".
"Ah..."
The maid flushes Judith's forehead back.
My forehead is gone, my vision suddenly opens and Judith is confused.
They make her all-back while she's warm and can stop her hair in Katyusha.
Naturally, Judith tries to take Katyusha off, but Isaac grabs her arm gently and stops.
"Mr. Judith. Do you have any idea why Michael accused me of being a witch? Now I think I know one thing."
This isn't what Isaac thought, it's what Michael was talking about.
But that's not the problem.
Because the purpose is to get Judith to raise her forehead.
"I know there have been a lot of circumstances since I was a kid. But why don't you take this opportunity to change it? As it is now, one day you may make the same mistake. After I put my brother in my hand, my relationship with my family got worse. But we have a good relationship today, thanks to reflection on how we lived until then and a change in how we dealt with our families."
"... what do you mean?
Judith asked, "Why are you trying to change yourself until you bring up stories from the past? I guess you want to say."
Somehow I figured out what she wanted to say to Isaac, so I'll explain it to her.
"It's not good that you can't see your face. It's disturbing that when you're talking to people, you don't know how they feel. Though Michael told me he loved me too, I was wondering if he was anxious to know how he was getting it. That kind of anxiety and dissatisfaction builds up, and I think it's shaped like this one."
Isaac releases Judith's arm he was grabbing.
In the meantime, I didn't try to take Katyusha off to listen to you.
"But embarrassing...... And..., my gaze..."
Judith sees his surroundings as flickering.
I guess I care about everyone's gaze.
This was within the assumed range, so Isaac also tries the method of persuasion he had in mind.
"You'll get used to it soon. Besides, everyone's gaze is as far as it can be taken. Take a good look at everyone."
Isaac points to his grandparents first.
"Grandpa and Grandma are worried about Mr. Judith. You know that, don't you?
Judith nods.
Then point to Bridget and Claude.
"Mr. Bridget got angry at me for standing at Mr. Judith's side. Mr. Claude didn't stop being angry for Mr. Judith, did he?
Judith nodded and responded to this question as well.
Isaac fingers Tiffany at the end.
"So is Tiffany. Someone I've never spoken to properly, even if I know their name or face. Still, I'm worried about Mr. Judith. Has anyone turned a disgusting gaze on you?
Now I shook my head and responded.
Judith knows we're all worried.
There was no such thing as a contemptuous gaze that "you're such an unusual guy that your fiancée is about to kill you".
"This is a good opportunity. I don't have a family here, and I don't have anybody close enough to call me my best friend. Just people who don't know the usual Mr. Judith. If you have a family member or someone close to you, you're like, 'What's the sudden matter?' Or something like that would make you feel ashamed and dislike changing your normal self? So instead of hiding my face with my hair while I was in this mansion, I thought it would be just right for practice talking face to face with other people. I want you to try using that hair fastening only while you are in the mansion. What do you think?
Isaac was telling Judith to change himself for the future.
- But it was for me.
(If this works, I'll be able to use the bathroom at night by myself)
I'm afraid of Judith because his face is hidden with his forehead.
If you can't see your face with your forehead, it looks like the star of a horror movie, but if your face isn't hidden, you just need to be a little surprised.
We run into each other in the hallway at night, so we don't have to worry about pissing.
I said good things and was desperate to get Katyusha to use them.
Judith looks around.
I turn my face bright red and watch each and every one of them react.
And at the end of the day, I look back and see Isaac's face.
Isaac smiled gently at Nicole.
Judith then blushed more and hid his face with both hands.
(... after all, suddenly you can't)
"I just need to be in this mansion while I'm at it. Why don't you just try it? I want to talk to Judith face-to-face, not over my hair."
Couldn't give up, Isaac talks in as gentle a voice as possible.
Then Judith shook my head vertically only once.
(Safe!)
I'm sorry to impose on Judith, but this is extremely important to Isaac's honor.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what she has convinced me.
All you have to do is leave Tiffany and the others to think about tomorrow.
Isaac was horrified that he didn't have to taste real horror at home.
But I was too obsessed with her appearance to seem to reach the inside out.
