It had been two weeks since the humans responsible for Liz Murphy's suicide were captured.
Totally summery heat today - Jared Murphy had been visited by Tres Brawell, the seventh seat of the court magician, "The Windman".
Young man with a clean cut of flax colored hair. Kindness that gives a soft impression, but blue eyes with strong will are somewhere distressing.
I met him recently.
The revenge play started when Barnabas Kaif, a man who once competed as a candidate for court magician with Tres and Adelina Bishoff, a court magician who is not here, was cut off from the way of court magician by Count Brawell, Tres' father.
It is new to my memory that a candidate for court magician other than Jared has been murdered by Barnabas. Tres was also about to be killed by Barnabas while he was a court magician, and his family was tragically murdered. One of the deceased court sorcerer candidates also has a human being who will become the master of Laurenz Herring, Jared's friend, who will inevitably run for revenge. Jared fought and killed Barnabas in order to stop revenge on his unobtrusive opponents.
In this case, Jared decided to become a court magician from a candidate for court magician, so he didn't know what was going to happen in life.
That's not the only edge I have with the Tres. In the battle against Cornelia Alway, who was the mastermind who was after the life of Olivier Alway's mother Hannellone, Dolph Ayne and Jared's fiancée, who was partitioning the Vault Toyfer, he was a force on me, along with Adelina.
Since then, there has been some interaction and exchanges of letters. The age is about ten years apart and the fiancée is closer. Olivier and Adelina seem to exchange letters a lot, but somehow I was under the impression that their fiancée looked like she had chewed up a bitter bug every time the letter arrived. I was wondering what it was about, but it was a violation of manners, such as listening to letters between women.
The tresses, who have deepened their relationship a little in that way, will become seniors if they become court magicians. They are verbally promising me that they will be the back shield of Jared, who is immature.
Jared isn't the only one looking after me. Tres and Adelina are working out Laurenz, who lost a teacher. Begging two court magicians to teach is a breakdown.
Not only did Jared and the others not attend the School of Mages, but Laurenz also received envy and jealousy from the face of the Mage Division who served as a subordinate of the Court Mages, but he continued to be taught knowingly that he was blessed with his sobriety - knowing that he had grown greatly as a mage in a short time. I couldn't help but be glad that my friend grew up as a good magician.
"Sorry for the surprise visit."
"No, Olivier said she was always waiting for you, and, in fact, Adelina said she'd been asking me a few times where I didn't know."
"Ha. She wants to talk to Olivier about things."
"I'm glad we're getting along."
"... I don't know about that"
"Yes?"
"No, it's nothing. Nothing. Let me get right to the point, but I've been visiting you today for a reason. The -"
Moistened throat with cold tea, Torres mouths it as if it were just a little hard to say, but decidedly opens his mouth.
"Do you remember Barnabas Kaif?
"Of course it is. You can't forget who I killed."
"There was no way to stop him. It's not about you being sick. [M] Instead, I'm ashamed to have pushed our debt against you, a minor."
He couldn't fight because he was seriously injured. I've only recovered, but I hear he hasn't officially returned to the court magician yet. Documentary work, mentoring my men, and directing operations seem to be the key battles once when they rush for Jared.
"What's wrong with Barnabas Kaif?
"Honestly, I was lost telling you this story. Adelina said she shouldn't, but if she thought about telling your ear in a different way, she thought I should say it directly. - Now the position of the Kaif family left behind is getting worse"
"It's..."
I had trouble responding.
Revenge play conducted by Barnabas. His anger was legitimate. But it is also true that it has crossed degrees. It killed an irrelevant human being. Barnabas died, and it should go without saying the rebellion of the families who were supposedly unrelated but murdered.
The responsibility for this was to be taken by Count Brawell, the culprit of all things, but it is nevertheless never heavy, such as confiscation of personal belongings or insulation from Torres. All the wrongdoers who were within the sorcerers' association were also imprisoned, but there is no way for survivors to be able to forgive them yet.
By nature, Barnabas, who deserves the most atonement for his sins, has also been killed by Jared, and he is not there. It was therefore inevitable that the wrath of the bereaved family would turn to the Kaif family.
Just because Jared doesn't know, anger may also be directed at himself, the Baron Dowm family, and the Duke of Alway family.
"Is there anything I can do?
"After all, that's what you're gonna say. Jared, you're sweet. But I hope that kindness won't make you suffer one day. Of course, I don't think you have the right to advise me expecting your help."
Tress, whining to mock herself, went on to regain her mind.
"I'm not so worried about the Kaif family as I say because me and Adelina are protecting them."
The two court magicians have the countenance. If they were to shelter the Kaif family, which is a court magician regardless of the title, there seemed to be few hostile human beings.
"The problem is - it's Ernesta Kaif."
It was a familiar name. Ernesta Kaif - Barnabas' sister. I do belong to the sorcery division.
"In her case, she's a magician serving the country. Therefore, he is seen with white eyes and treated unfairly as having a brother of a criminal by officials who know the circumstances. Many times we tried to help, but it turned out to be counterproductive and she didn't want our help herself. I can't help it - it was my father who kicked Barnabas off. Adelina was also threatened, though. I joined in. I don't think we can be allowed to exist for Ernesta."
Barnabas and Torres were friends. Then Ernesta must have been an old acquaintance to Tres, too. I don't even know how close I was, but I couldn't even imagine Tres' thoughts on my friend's sister.
"What am I supposed to do?
"Are you sure? I don't want to tell you, but I'm sure it's gonna be a hassle while you come visit me like this"
"Never mind. I asked Torres to help me the other day. It's payback for that. Above all - I killed Barnabas. If his sister is suffering, not everyone else."
- Thank you.
Tres bowed his head deeply.
And he looked up,
"I want Ernesta Kaif as your secretary."
That's what I hoped for.
