Episode 136 Deal with Lucia (2)

“Our family is cursed by the devil? “It’s really varied.”

Lucia picked her ear with her little finger. Like she wasn’t worth listening to anymore.

Even though I told him that I knew a secret that could lead to the downfall of the family, and a secret that the family was hiding, they just laughed it off and dismissed it as bullshit.

‘But you’re still the eldest son of the Lucid family.’

It’s very relaxing.

Does this mean that age cannot be ignored? Is this the charm of older men?

then… … It might be a bit better.

‘Well, this isn’t what’s important right now.’

Lucia looks like nothing is wrong.

But inside, you’re probably very nervous.

It is an undeniable fact that the Lucid family is under the devil’s curse. Moreover, the devil’s curse… … .

‘In reality, it’s no different from a transaction.’

When a devil encounters a human, his suggestions can be broadly divided into two categories.

‘Contract with the devil’ and ‘Curse of the devil’ are just that. The former is a transaction in which one gains personal gain.

It is a serious crime worthy of summary execution.

On the other hand, the latter, the devil’s curse, is not a contract in which one or both parties benefit, but a contract that binds both parties by creating a ‘promise’ that must be kept or performed by each other.

It is a contract that can weaken the devil’s power depending on the situation, so it is not treated as a serious crime.

step.

‘There is a clause that says only if you report it first.’

Of course, the Lucid family did not announce this fact. Even if you are from a prestigious family, there is a high probability that you will receive punishment equivalent to execution.

No, because they are from a prestigious family, they will be punished even more.

So I can’t help but feel tight inside.

As if to prove it, Lucia spoke up as I kept my mouth shut.

“No matter how much you want to be taught by me… … “The joke was too harsh.”

“Hehe, you’re dismissing the truth as a joke. “Isn’t it on Lucia’s part that it’s too much?”

“Maybe so. You look confident, very nice to see. Well, okay. So where should I listen? “Why do you think our family is cursed by the devil?”

Lucia, who said that, burst into laughter.

An article that could only come from a weekly magazine that was on the verge of being shut down due to low sales. The attitude is to dismiss it as such.

But I could tell that the intention was completely different.

‘Are you trying to determine whether I really know it or not and at the same time find out where the information came from?’

The goal is to determine the truth and at the same time confirm the source of the rumor and prevent further rumors from spreading.

It’s not a bad decision.

Except that the other person is me.

“Hehe, everyone in the Lucid family has a nanny or something similar, right?”

flinch-.

Lucia trembled.

Did he realize his mistake? She hurriedly opened her mouth.

“What’s strange about that? “My nanny has been with me ever since I was born.”

“That’s what’s strange. Children of other prestigious families often fail even before they reach adulthood. “Isn’t this a strange thing?”

“It’s because we’re close. And our family doesn’t abandon people carelessly. “I guess it’s a way to repay you for taking care of me.”

“Hehe… … Well, you could see it that way.”

Lucia stroked her hair and continued speaking.

“ha… … “Do you know that your logic is full of flaws?”

“Which part is it?”

“Of course, from beginning to end. First of all, what’s wrong with having a nanny with you? “It has nothing to do with the devil’s curse, right?”

No, there is a very close correlation. That’s why Lucia speaks so passionately.

“The claim you are making now is no different from claiming that you are under the devil’s curse that says, ‘Members of the Lucid family must be accompanied by a nanny.’ “Why would the devil impose such restrictions?”

“Hehe, there’s no need to understand their thoughts, right? “I guess he’s a pervert.”

“Ha, yes! Let’s say you’re right. But take a look around you.”

I glanced around. A training ground that we often use.

There was nothing different from usual. If I had to point out, what would it be like that there was a little bit of blood I shed earlier on the ground?

“If you had eyes, you would see. I don’t have a nanny with me right now. According to your argument, I should have had a nanny by my side. “How are you going to explain this?”

As Lucia said, it is Lucia and I who are currently here. There were only two of us.

For your information, these days, my nanny has been looking for another groom candidate after eyeing me.

I saw you working at the restaurant again today. What did they say? Is that the best place to observe?

Still, he said that there was no other child like me, so he would take care of various things for me every time I went to a restaurant.

Anyway, it is clear that there is no nanny here now.

Therefore, Lucia’s claim that ‘nanny has nothing to do with the devil’s curse’ is extremely valid.

but.

“I never said you had to have a nanny around.”

“… … what?”

“I just said that people in the Lucid family bring nannies or equivalents with them. “I didn’t say you had to stick together.”

“That’s it!”

Lucia screamed.

Lucia, who was relaxed in any situation, was busy fussing.

That’s a good response. This means that there is no longer any time to show off Lucia’s unique charm that is unique to older people.

“What am I doing with a child… … I’m going. Don’t make a joke like that again. “I will never see you again next time.”

Lucia placed her hand on the training ground door handle.

But she had no choice but to stop.

“It must be for protection purposes.”

Stand tall.

Lucia stiffened. So much so that you can feel it even from behind.

But it’s still too early to be surprised.

“I’m not saying we need to protect the nanny. Quite the contrary, the nanny… … .”

They stick around to protect the people of the Lucid family.

Kwaang!!

“Oops!”

A scream naturally came out of my mouth.

When I came to my senses, I found myself pinned against the wall.

Standing in front of him was Lucia, with fire spewing out of her eyes.

The wall of the training center that even the A-class [Ilseom] could withstand was broken, and he was trapped inside.

Even though I experienced it with my own body, I couldn’t believe it.

“… … Did you see it? I am strong. It’s also much stronger than the nanny. But the nanny protects us? Does that make sense?”

“Cough! “Well, that’s the devil’s curse.”

“what?”

“If you encounter ‘those guys’. “The people of the Lucid family can’t do anything.”

It’s the same for ‘those guys’ who can’t do anything, but it’s not a simple matter.

Because members of the Lucid family have many people to protect.

An object that everyone nearby must protect.

Moreover, if the people of the Lucid family left even after seeing the devil, it would arouse great suspicion.

In other words, the nanny is a preparedness plan to respond when that situation occurs. In other words… … .

“A scapegoat to bide time while you run away, right?”

“… … !!”

visor!

The sword was pointed at my neck again.

The only difference is that the tip of the sword touches the side of the neck rather than the front?

It means that you are truly in danger of having your head cut off.

“dare… … How can you insult someone who devotes himself to his family and family in front of me? Even if my head falls off, I won’t have anything to say.”

“Hehe, the hero of the empire would kill a student at the academy. “You will be greatly criticized.”

“doesn’t care. Killing an unknown child like you can’t even put a blemish on my honor. Rather, your honor will be enhanced by killing the dark side, right?”

The honor that Lucia has built so far is so high that it is okay to kill dozens of innocent people.

So there is no lie in what Lucia said just now. Except that I am in the dark.

“Hehe, if you kill me, you’ll regret it, right?”

“… … “Are you saying they have installed a safety device?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I told a trusted colleague. Oh, of course we don’t know yet. “I just told them to go to a secret location and open the letter if I didn’t contact them.”

“… … .”

The devil’s curse on the Lucid family.

The way to prove this is also very simple.

If the emperor issues an order for confirmation, there is absolutely no way to avoid it.

“… … I don’t know how I found out this information, but it’s unfortunate. “We have a way to avoid it.”

Yes, I know. Your dirty looks.

I see you guys doing something you should never have done in order to protect your family.

The disgusting appearance hidden behind that nobility.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands of times in the game.

Because I saw it clearly.

“You’re probably trying to prove it through Miss Rodelin. She is free from the devil’s curse… … .”

A unique being, destined to embrace all the sins of the Lucid family.

Because he’s a poor child.

Lucia’s eyes grew noticeably larger.

Lowering her sword, she stumbled and took a small step back.

“you you… … “How on earth can you do that?”

How did you know? Of course.

“It’s a secret.”

When I said that while covering my lips with my finger, Lucia looked at me in vain.

Why are you talking like that? It’s a signature pose that I put a lot of care into.

“… … “Tsk.”

I pulled myself away from the training ground wall.

I got cuts here and there from the rocks, but it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t move my body.

“you… … “What on earth is it?”

“Hehe, I don’t know. First of all, Lucia… … Let’s just say I’m on the same side as you. For your information, the Lucid family’s affairs will be kept secret, so you don’t have to worry.”

“… … “How can I believe that?”

What are you going to do if you don’t believe me?

I shrugged my shoulders, and Lucia slightly lowered her head. Lucia also realized this.

The fact that no threat can be posed to me.

The axis of the scale is completely tilted towards me.

Now, it is time to begin full-scale negotiations.

“So, let’s make a deal.”

“transaction?”

“Yes, I wanted a deal from the beginning. Lucia is the one who created this situation. “Isn’t that right?”

The deal is that I will tell you about the survivors of the Lester family and ask you to teach me swordsmanship.

It was Lucia who refused. Did you realize that fact?

Lucia frowned heavily.

“You know, it’s not fair to keep your mouth shut after only being taught for a month. So let me ask you two more things.”

He said, pointing one finger at a time.

As I said before, the first thing is to faithfully guide us for a month.

“Give me help when I ask for it. However, I will limit it to three.”

“… … So there will be a total of five.”

“Hehe, it’s still an advantageous deal for Lucia. “Do you not like it?”

Lucia closed her mouth.

Either three or five.

It’s a cheap price compared to protecting the Lucid family’s secret.

Lucia nodded nervously.

Two additional things were put on the scale.

Now finally.

“I ask you to share information about those who brought the Leicester family to such an extent and form an alliance with me.”

“… … alliance?”

“Yes, the Lucid family and me. “It’s about building alliances.”

Lucia frowned. An alliance between an entire family and one individual.

Although our alliance is limited to the Leicester family, I am just a student at the academy.

Even if your pride is hurt, it will be very hurt.

“I’m sorry, but that’s difficult. “It’s not something I can decide on my own.”

“I don’t mind telling the Marquis.”

“… … what?”

“It means that I don’t mind letting Marquis Luke know of my existence.”

“I’m sorry, but Rodelin and I have different fathers. They’re not like us! “I won’t leave you alone, right?”

I’m sorry, but it’s the same here.

I am.

‘I’m going to punch that disgusting bastard when I see his face.’

To protect the family, to protect family members, vassals, and other people.

That disgusting bastard who forced Rodelin to sacrifice himself.

I will definitely scold you.

“No, no matter how much you think about it, it’s impossible. I want to see my father. no way. I wonder if you deserve it… … .”

It’s a qualification. You definitely need to have some qualifications.

In order for Marquis Luke to be interested, he would have to have a certain level of skill.

You have to be at least a 6-star knight to catch it at the end of your eyes.

But there was ‘one thing’ about me that he couldn’t help but be interested in.

“Let me prove it. “Be careful.”

“what?”

Now is the time to show off your secret trick.

I took out a sword and a pocket watch from subspace.

A sword held tightly together with a pocket watch.

Left and right feet adjust the stride length back and forth.

He raised the sword he held with both hands to the sky.

Sigh-.

When I slightly spread the back of my hand, the pocket watch began to fall.

Lucia’s eyes turn to the sword raised in the sky and the falling pocket watch.

When I used the [Open Eyes] skill, her eyes met mine.

Click!

I hit the ground and stepped on the open pocket watch.

Lucia’s body suddenly stiffened. At the same time.

The fourth secret of the Lucid clan.

Split the sky.
