Episode 135 Deal with Lucia (1)
“I can’t believe someone from a traitorous family was alive. “It’s amazing.”
“Hehe, I was very surprised too. I can’t believe you withstood Lucia’s blow. “Maybe I’m stronger than I thought.”
“indeed… … He is a descendant of a family that perished due to greed. “Isn’t that exactly the same thing as a cocky little brat?”
“Hehe, people usually call this kind of skill, right?”
Is it because they reacted casually to provocations that crossed the line? Lucia’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
The reason I didn’t respond to her provocation was simple.
What Lucia is doing now.
‘Because it’s just a cheap provocation to get a reaction out of me.’
If you say something bad about the Leicester family, I will react in some way.
He must have tried to use that reaction to infer who I was.
But instead of showing a reaction, you just slide over it like a swamp over a wall?
It was a situation where Lucia’s mind couldn’t help but become complicated.
‘It would be limited to guess that he is a descendant of the Leicester family.’
This prediction is no different from Charon.
At first, he also took the line of reasoning towards the ‘illegitimate child of the Leicester family’.
‘It means that the Leicester family was closed off.’
The only people who can learn Ilseom are people from the Leicester family.
Charon and Lucia’s reactions proved that.
The fact that the Leicester family was closed gave me a huge advantage.
There is no information.
‘Because it means you can easily commit fraud.’
Jang!
The tip of Lucia’s sword was aimed at my neck.
I couldn’t even respond. This is because Lucia’s movements were so agile.
She tilted her head slightly.
“… … what. “You mean you can’t even react here?”
“Hehe, don’t you think I was watching?”
“I feel relaxed even though my head is about to explode. “Would you like to see if you’re still at ease even after your head is cut off?”
Kuuk-.
My throat stung slightly and I felt something hot flowing down.
It’s my blood.
“Hehe, that’s a bit difficult. “Because I have a lot of work to do.”
“… … .”
A situation where one’s head could run away at any moment.
But I didn’t mind. There is also the power of the [Mental Defense] skill.
‘There should have been fewer people pointing swords at my neck.’
Starting with Luna, Rodelin, Charon, and even Lucia.
I felt very anxious about my neck.
What on earth did I do wrong to commit such a heinous act?
Kuuk-.
But I couldn’t shout like that.
Because Lucia is holding my lifeline right now.
“… … “Let me ask you one thing before I kill you.”
I see Are you saying that my death is already confirmed?
It’s not surprising anymore.
“Why did you suddenly use Ilseom? If I had hidden it, I would have been able to survive my life like a fly a little longer. Oh, were you trying to get rid of me? In that case, I just want to praise you for your confidence.”
It’s just as Lucia said.
Not only is it related to the traitorous Leicester family, but they even use it?
It is not strange if one’s head disappears right away.
Nevertheless, there is a good reason why I boldly used [Ilsom].
‘It was strange from the beginning.’
Not only does he stay at the academy for a month under the pretext of teaching children, but he also goes around looking for the person who used Ilsom?
That’s not the only strange thing.
‘I haven’t heard of anyone seeing traces of Ilseom from Charon.’
Charon, one of the members of the investigation team.
I haven’t heard of anyone seeing any traces of Ilseom on him.
in other words.
‘Someone erased traces of Ilseom before the investigation team arrived.’
And that ‘someone’.
Lucia and her nanny. There was a high probability that it was one of those two.
‘The Lucid family is trying to restore the honor of the Leicester family. Then, there is a greater than 90% chance that it is Lucia.’
Of course, Lucia and the nanny. There was a possibility that it was both.
However, I could sense that there was a high probability that it was Lucia.
‘That’s why I used Ilseom.’
We have received information from various sources that the Lucid family was favorable to the Lester family.
It was a gamble worth taking.
The problem is that we don’t know why Lucia is looking for the child who used Ilseom?
‘Anyway, the gamble paid off. That’s important.’
The fact that Lucia is talking to me right now is proof of that.
If he had harbored any ill feelings towards the Leicester family, he would have struck me down at once and presented the truth to the Emperor.
In other words, Lucia was looking for someone from the Leicester family for ‘some reason.’
In order to find out any reason, first.
Crrrrrrr-!
Although it seemed urgent to calm down the angry lion.
What on earth did I do wrong to make them point at me like that?
I was truly wronged.
“Hehe, there’s no way I could kill Lucia, right? “I only revealed my identity because I felt like he was desperately looking for me.”
“I found you?”
“Weren’t you looking for someone who used Ilseom?”
“Hmm~ Have you decided not to hide it anymore? Well, it was over from the moment you used the first sword in front of me.”
Are you satisfied with the answer? Lucia pulled back the blade slightly.
“Hehe, let me say hello. “My name is Zero, the rat of the Leicester family.”
He bowed slightly, placed his right arm against his chest, and bowed politely.
“… … “The Leicester family’s rat?”
“Yes that’s right.”
He responded with a big smile.
Is it because of my mood that the suspicion seems to have intensified?
Well, that’s what I meant by saying he was the rat of the Leicester family.
There’s nothing ominous about my smile.
“Are you starting to lie again? “There is no way such a thing exists in the Leicester family.”
“Hehe, there are always exceptions. “I am the proof.”
Otherwise, there is no way Ilseom could be used.
After that, various questions came up, but I was able to easily overcome them.
A similar story to what I told Charon in the anthill.
Lucia had no choice but to agree with what I said.
Because it was a lie that even fooled Charon.
“… … He dreamed of becoming the Leicester family’s rat, but did not become one. “So your goal is revenge on those who made the Leicester family like that?”
“Well, it was like that originally, but… … “One more thing was added.”
“what is that?”
What? Of course.
“Hehe, it’s a secret.”
He said that while putting his index finger on his lips. OK.
Takkong!
“It’s black. “Am I your friend?”
Lucia grabbed my head.
The sword that was pointed at me was already in its sheath.
‘Did he disarm me because he realized I wasn’t the enemy?’
But what’s the point of hitting your head?
If you keep doing this, your handsome face may get tired.
You may already be hooked. The area that was hit was claiming that.
My face is now distorted.
“Well, that’s okay. “Because I don’t really want to know.”
The attitude is that they are genuinely not curious.
It is difficult. Because I still have questions about this.
“Now it’s Lucia’s turn. “Why have you been looking for me so desperately?”
“Restoration of honor.”
“yes?”
“I wanted to restore the honor of the Leicester family. “That’s it.”
In a way, it was natural.
The noble Lucid family.
Even innocent people can’t stand by and watch, but he and the Leicester family, who have protected the empire for hundreds of years, were blamed for the crime?
He must have wanted to restore his honor somehow.
“Tsk, then that means they weren’t descendants.”
“Descendants?”
“Okay, what can I do to restore my honor? The payment was cut off. I can’t believe a family like that one disappeared like this. “It is a great loss to the empire.”
Lucia scratched her head. She has a sincerely regretful attitude.
‘Maybe this… … .’
The thought that I might be able to use it crossed my mind.
“What if he’s alive?”
“what?”
“What would you do if a descendant of the Leicester family were alive and I knew of their existence?”
“… … How can I do it? I need to protect you. “Only until the honor of the Leicester family is restored.”
Did you notice something strange?
Lucia’s brow twitched.
“Rather, you say it as if it were real?”
“Hehe, yeah. I know. Let’s make a deal.”
“… … transaction?”
“yes. We will let you know if you can guide us for the remaining three weeks. “The only survivor of the Leicester family.”
They are taught by informing them of Luna’s existence.
A quest to win Lucia’s approval or to surprise her?
If you’re lucky, you might be able to break it. Well, I’m half giving up.
About 1 minute has passed. Lucia’s mouth slowly opened.
She also took my deal… … .
“Nope?”
… … Didn’t accept it.
This is a little unexpected.
“Hehe, why?”
“There’s no guarantee that everything you told me in the first place was true, but… … .”
Lucia’s eyes shone coldly.
“You’re dealing with a suspicious guy who has a lot to hide. no. If you get involved with someone like you, nothing good will come out of it. “I know it well from experience.”
Anyway, this guy’s narrow eyes are the problem.
You have tainted my pure intention of receiving teachings by sacrificing Luna.
“Once I knew he was alive, it was enough. “I won’t find anything.”
Lucia walked towards the training ground door.
It means that I will leave because I have achieved my goal.
It’s a difficult situation. It’s not that leaving the training ground is difficult.
‘I could leave the academy.’
The reason Lucia decided to stay at the academy for a month was to find the person who used Ilseom.
Now that we have achieved that goal, it would not be strange to leave tomorrow.
I had to hold on to it somehow.
“Then it’s difficult.”
“Yes, I guess so. But it’s none of my business, right?”
“Hehe, that’s not it. If you leave, it won’t be me who will be in trouble, but Lucia… … .”
He continued speaking while secretly using the [Open Eyes] skill. Because atmosphere is important in these things.
“It means it will be on your side.”
Stand tall.
Once in front of the door, and once while looking at me.
There was a reaction from Lucia.
“… … “What does that mean?”
Did you sense that the atmosphere was different from usual? Spirit emanated from Lucia’s body.
The same status as a lion.
The reference to ‘you’ and a tone that is close to threatening.
Even though my whole body was showing that I was angry, I didn’t feel anything.
Because the mind-bending skill called [Mental Defense] is protecting me.
I slowly walked towards Lucia. A very leisurely step.
Nevertheless, Lucia waited for me silently.
“It’s a very simple thing. “Let’s make a deal.”
“Ha, maybe I told you earlier? There is no reason for me to make a deal. “There’s no way our family can’t find the child you found, right?”
That is correct. The Lucid family is a prestigious noble family, one of the eight pillars of the empire.
Now that I have the hint, I will somehow find Luna.
This means that from Lucia’s perspective, there is no reason to do business with me.
A scale named Transaction.
On Lucia’s side, there is one with the name ‘Teaching’, and on my side, there is one with the name ‘Descendant of the Leicester family.’
The state is biased towards Lucia.
For this transaction to be successful, I have to add more weight to make the scale at least parallel or heavier on my side.
In other words, what I need to do now.
‘It’s about putting more weight on the scale.’
Lucia has no choice but to receive it, the scales tilting towards Lucia are lifting a heavy weight that is perfectly tilted towards me.
“Hehe, the Lucid family is currently under a devil’s curse, right?”
A pendulum named The Devil’s Curse.
The scale tilts in my favor to the point where it completely collapses.
It was a very heavy weight.
