The Villainous Daughter does not Dance with the Dragon

131. The Golden Thread Sparrow Sings 12

"It's all true, Assistant Commissioner Alexander"

"By your name and by God?

"Yes."

Alexander wrote a strange print in the sky at his right fingertip.

The movement of my fingers made me feel like the air was twisted.

"... again, let's hear it"

The ring around Cleric Selim's neck glows slightly in response to Alexander's finger movements...... It was thought to be a silver colour. It emitted a cheeky light as if the strange tattoo that emerged itself claimed its existence.

"Selim Rada Luftna. By his name and blood, do you swear without falsehood"

"I swear. My name and my life."

"Now, by your true name, tell us what happened in this land."

The old cleric repeated to Alexander's order. I don't want Vincent to hear it, I saw him, but Vincent looks back at me for a little while and shakes his head slightly.

Selim affirmed in a definite tone.

About Vincent's mother, about you, about your brother.

And about Vincent.... the same thing Selim said earlier.

Stannis takes my gaze and explains it.

"The neck ring held by an alien is also a symbol of authority, but on the other hand it is a constraint. If you swore by name and life, you can't say falsehood... Speaking."

Yen, who was nearby at some point, took away the words of Stannis, who had said it.

"The ring narrows to the extreme..."

He slid his right index finger from left to right all at once. White teeth reminded me of the fangs of a carnivore.

"Farewell to your neck and torso."

... I was watching as I lost my word about the evil hobby silver ring.

That vicious ring of taste is still in Alexander's neck, formerly decorated with Stannis' neck.

If Selim says so, at least in him everything that was said earlier is true.

Vincent no longer had a sinking look on his face.

He wears the usual, sober "Son of the Chancellor" mask again.

Anyway, Alexander said.

"We'll take you to the mansion."

I exhaled one breath into the youth's words and Stannis glanced at me as I looked at the edge of the scattered tree.

"We knew that Cleric Alexander was a brilliant psychic, but earlier, what? Like a blade."

I looked at the bench that broke into two true pieces. It looked as if a blade like a sickle had struck.

Can Alexander also manipulate the air?

"I showed you an ugly place. It's not something you can do so many times a day, so it's not dangerous."

"... Really?"

Stannis picks up the dagger and wipes the blood.

Somewhere, it was a beautiful dagger, with an eastern design pattern. Yen laughs small.

"My, some Eastern souvenir came in handy."

"When I threw it away, it looked sneaky and I just had it.... It's about Lydia anyway. You'll heal yourself, though."

Yen twists his neck.

"What do you think? - That blade is special. Cut wounds are not blocked by alien powers and only natural healing works. It's a delicacy unique to the East. You'll be moaning about the pain by now."

"... I knew it was a blade of curse..."

I was sick of Stannis groaning and watching me and... Vincent as I stood up. With a look that cared for Vincent, Alexander gently pulled over to the edge to keep him out of his sight.

"Cleric Alexander.... Can I call this church something sufficient for your credibility? I don't want to leave Cleric Selim alone."

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, Father Selim, but you have to come with me."

Stannis told Vincent.

"Yunker"

"... Yes, Instructor Saule"

I let my fingers off Vincent's sleeve. Gyu, and grip into fist shape.

"What do we do? Before I promised you, if you don't want to, I don't want to tell His Excellency the Chancellor or the Duke about today. but Father Alexander will report to your father-in-law."

"... to my father-in-law, I would like to tell him..."

"May I be present?"

Vincent looked like she was going to cry and closed her eyes.

"If the instructor will do so,"

"With the Duke... I think I'll talk to the Count about how to tell him. You can stay silent, don't think about it."

"... Yes"

It was his peer Tet that Alexander called.

The skinny young cleric only told him that he would defend Selim's absence without hearing much.

"What if... what if Cleric Lydia visits? Alec?"

"Don't defy Lydia, obey. Provide him with medicine and food if he needs it. But just tell me she's here. And then Teto can stay away from danger. I hate to think she's such a fool to come here to congratulate you."

Left Teto behind, we left the National Church behind.

Proceed cursorily to the Count's castle aboard Alexander's arranged eight-passenger carriage.

For some reason there......

"... will Master Yen come too?

"I have a wild use for that cleric, too. There's Fatima in the castle anyway, isn't there? I'm gonna go ask her how she feels."

Alexander pinched his mouth to Yen in mild condition. He doesn't even have the appearance of being against the Dragon Nation at all.

"I urge you to refrain from doing that. You will accompany me if you can."

"Why me?

"... I would ask the people of the West not to talk about it now"

"You're sensitive to scandals, Cardina's people."

Scandal, huh?

... scandalous though. I leaned down, too. When I looked softly at Yen, I had his golden eyes and eyes.

"... Um, Master Yen"

"What? Lady."

"... yet, I'm not sure, but now... why don't you stay on your side with me or Alexander and come to all of you in the West"

"Don't you like the scandal spreading? It's quite an interesting story for a cleric to kill a toddler in order to keep the face of Vaza"

Vincent's fist was powered.

"I still don't know the truth.... he doesn't want anyone else to know much until the facts are clear.... because a lot of people get hurt... please, I'll leave it to Master Yen..."

"Various, people"

"Not just Vincent.... Jigmund is much ill. If you don't figure out how to tell him, he might fall again. And?"

"And?"

"And Alexander."

Alexander's sapphire eyes looked at me so I shrunk myself as if I had been shot off.

"... because I don't think I can trump things up on my aunt that I've been close to so soon..."

Alexander pulled his lips together. I wonder if you feel humiliated......, that you made a statement like you cared for me.

Yen looked at us with a gentle smile that never occurred to him.

"I get it. For a while... the National Church will be stuck breathing. Let's stay at Yunker's mansion."

"Mine, is it?

Vincent looked somewhat disgusted......

"Your father and I are acquaintances. I'll give you protection at last. When and what time... it doesn't mean the scarlet woman won't show up to finish you off"

"... Yes..."

Stannis looked so disgusted that he turned away from Yen.

"... I wish I'd just gone back to the mountains"

"Did I say something? Eyeglasses?"

"Nothing? Can you hear me in my hallucinations? In the annual wave of stops?

Heck, where Stannis poisoned him, Alexander..., bowed his head deeply toward the opposite form of Vincent.

"What is it, Cleric Alexander?"

"Sincerely, I am sorry. Dear Vincent Yunker, I'm not sure what my aunt did... I... I think Selim's testimony is correct. A cleric has killed your family, whatever it may be.... not negligence, but deliberately. It is not to be forgiven. As a member of the clan, as one of the clergy, I offer my deepest apologies"

It wasn't even like him, and the dialogue was poorly toothed.

…………

"I don't think you want to see my face or anything, but forgive me for a while until you get back to your castle."

Vincent stared seriously at the scarlet hair. Silence in the carriage, full.

Eventually, Vincent said in a voice that melts on a quiet night.

"... although I lost me earlier. Because I don't know the truth yet."

To be fair, Vincent Yunker told bitterly. I put my left hand on my chest as if it hurt after I said it.

I know. There's his mother's shape. As I can tell, Vincent slowly separates words.

"My father would say. He told me not to make a decision until it was all clear. I'm going to put on hold what I think of her until I hear what Cleric Lydia has to say properly. Suppose she... deliberately killed my mother and my brother."

Vincent stared straight at Cleric Alexander with Cui's eyes.

"It's her fault, Alexander. It's not yours. It's not for you to bear.

Clearly, but on a strong note, Vincent declared............

We arrive at the castle and send Vincent and Selim to distant Stannis and Yen's back. It was me and Alexander who were left behind.

"Shall we go back?

When I spoke to Alexander, he distorted his brilliant face.

Then I slowly lowered my head......

…… Alexander? "

"I'm sorry to bother you, Master Remilia, I think"

"Uh..."

Is Alexander hurt too?

"... Lady Vincent said that, but I am sure she would have sinned. She could do it. I am familiar with his artifice. That much will be done flat out. And I smelled a lie from her words"

"Yes."

"I am also sorry that I have left those who have done such mischievous deeds beside Her Royal Highness."

I don't know more about what Alexander's psychic powers are, but I guess he can make others take "vows," as he indicated to Selim earlier. Saying Lydia hated it might prove her guilty unlimited.

"Master Vincent is a strong man. You don't mind stuffing me."

Alexander pinched his long hair in one room and sighed.

Characteristics of the Letto family that drains a lot of aliens. Scarlet hair and sapphire eyes. Lydia and Alexander look very similar.

"Vincent is a fair man. And how similar was Lydia and Cleric Alexander? Because you were angry with Lydia instead of Vincent, he was... calm."

"Vincent and Remilia are good people"

"Really?... but I don't think Alexander is bad, do you?

I said it in such a cheerful tone that I would tell my friends. The cleric..., deeply, bowed his head to me again.

"... no. I'm sorry. My sincere apologies."

I have eyes for Alexander, who raised his face.

I don't know, I feel like I've taken his gaze straight for the first time.

"Come to the Duke, Lady Remilia."

"Yes."

Though you can't tell your father everything from me, I wanted to wait for Chancellor Yunker, who would probably come with Stannis.
