Episode 157 Bad relationship (5)

‘crazy.’

Cursing came out of nowhere.

The head of the Lester family and Luna’s mother.

It was Charon who killed Renia. She even offered her head to her emperor?

K-drama, movies, webtoons, web novels, etc.

Even though I have been trained through numerous K series, I couldn’t help but be surprised by this one.

It’s almost like, ‘Brother, is this guy smiling?’ Like class.

“I can’t believe it.”

“But it’s clear. I was there too. really… … “It was hard to endure.”

Lucia’s closed fists trembled.

I was angry that someone I respected was killed, but they came with a head dripping with blood.

Lucia’s personality makes it easier for her to endure.

but.

‘… … ‘Something’s strange.’

If it were the Charon I knew from the game, I would have thought, ‘Of course that would have happened.’

But not now.

This is because I learned that he is a person with more affection and deeper thoughts than I thought.

He has a nasty temper, but he acts reasonably.

‘Besides, he was at the top of the gutter rat both then and now. ‘You must have vaguely realized that the Leicester family was framed from the beginning.’

Materials, troops, operations, cooperation between clan families, etc.

In order to commit treason, some preparation is necessary.

Charon, who manages information, would have observed this aspect carefully, and would have known that there was no such sign from the Lester family.

In addition, the Leicester family is a family that has been loyal to the Answood Kingdom even before it grew into an empire.

A family like that suddenly plots rebellion?

Charon must have known from the beginning. The Lester family was framed.

‘The reason why the Leicester family became like that was revealed in the game. But you don’t know about Charon.’

Not only Charon, but also Marquis Asizu, who led the effort, probably doesn’t know.

Because the person who gave the order to the Marquis of Asizu did not explain the reason in detail.

The identity of ‘him’ and the reason for destroying the Leicester family are revealed in a monologue, giving users shock and fear, but let’s move on for now.

Because it has nothing to do with this incident.

‘Anyway, Charon, knowing that she is innocent, kills Renia? ‘It doesn’t make sense.’

In other words, the probability that Charon killed Renia is low.

Even if that were the case, there must have been some reason. Or, it was an ‘avoidable accident’.

‘Whatever the reason, you have to put the pieces together.’

Renia, Charon, Luna, and information revealed in the future.

A huge puzzle called Charon unfolded in my mind.

I’ve tried my best to fill it, but it’s still full of empty spaces.

Is it like 70% empty?

Although Charon is a being shrouded in mystery, it is more likely that information cannot be obtained because he breaks his neck every time he meets him in the game.

‘In other words, now is the perfect opportunity to collect puzzle pieces.’

Lucia hates Charon.

If you respond just a little bit, wouldn’t they happily chat behind your back and spit out information?

“You killed Renia. “He’s a very gentle guy.”

“That’s what I said. “Are you saying he’s a very conniving and conniving guy?”

“He also has a dirty temper.”

“I can’t even communicate well! “He’s a really frustrating person.”

“Hehe, unfortunately that’s all I know. “I don’t know much about Teacher Charon yet.”

“okay? “It’s a shame.”

Lucia licked her lips as if she was truly disappointed.

Well, from the looks of it, we’ll be chatting behind each other’s backs for about 10 hours.

“So… … “Can you explain in detail what happened then?”

“good. Well, this is a story everyone knows.”

Did he think he could gossip a little more, or did he think it was an opportunity for me to stay away from Charon?

Lucia responded right away.

“Charon personally presented Renia’s supplies to His Majesty. Everyone was in shock. “It means that the Leicester family has become extinct.”

One of the eight pillars of the empire, it was a family that had been devoted to the Answood Empire since it was a kingdom, so it must have come as a shock.

“The Leicester family’s relatives were executed in an instant. There was a noble trial, but it was handled summarily. The clan survived, but… … Since he gave away a huge amount of interest in return, it can be seen that he is barely maintaining his reputation.”

No, that’s not what I want to know.

“Was there anything strange?”

“strange thing?”

“Yes, wasn’t Renia said to be the strongest of her time? Teacher Charon is great, but I don’t think she can compare.”

“That’s right. But Renia is also human. “Is there any way to overcome hundreds of people, especially skilled people, who keep coming?”

In the meantime, Charon made a surprise attack and took his life?

There is nothing to point out. Although it’s a bit clumsy.

“Was there anything unusual about the battle scene?”

“From what I heard, the scene was very messy. Well, it’s a natural result since so many people died.”

The Leicester family was accused of being traitors.

Although they claimed innocence, they confidently stood up to those who came.

It was natural that third-rate nobles who wanted to make their name known would flock there.

Although the Leicester family has a high reputation, the head of the family, Renia, was one of the strongest people of her time.

Subdue Renia and take her head?

You can become a promising nobleman in no time! It is possible with my skills!

I went with such foolish thoughts and met my end.

You could say it’s a stupid ending.

“There must have been many mercenaries aiming for the prize. It is said that blood and unidentified body parts were lying outside the door of the mansion… … Anyway, I’d say it was very messy. “They said there were a lot of mangled bodies.”

“That’s strange.”

“what?”

“Isn’t Ilseom that kind of technique?”

The technology called Ilseom basically involves sending out compressed waves of air.

In that case, it is correct that the entire area that was cut cleanly or was hit should disappear.

But hacking and hacking.

“Well, that’s true. But in practice, it’s not that easy, right? I can’t just use the technology I want. “It’s especially true if you’re fighting with hundreds of people.”

“Hmm… … .”

“And they probably fought among themselves too? “Because there is only one head you can take.”

Only then did I realize.

The identity of the sense of heterogeneity that I have been feeling since a while ago.

‘From what I heard’, ‘It must have been a lot’, ‘They must have done it’, ‘They must have fought’.

Yes. Lucia’s testimony now… … .

‘Guess, guess, and guess again.’

The only thing Lucia saw for herself was, ‘Charon brought Renia’s head.’

Statements based on rumors cannot be trusted.

Especially if it’s Lucia who hates Charon.

“So no one knows exactly what happened there.”

“Because the only survivor is Charon. Well, that’s what everyone assumed in a hush.”

“Hmm… … “That’s strange.”

“Is it strange? Hey, are you weirder? I proudly held my head high. Then who killed it? “Isn’t it obvious?”

What Lucia said was not wrong. Because everyone would think that way.

but.

‘He killed Renia even though he knew it was a false accusation. Out of guilt, he is looking for the real culprit, and he has found Luna, the last survivor, and is taking care of her?’

Is Charon someone who will take care of a child simply out of guilt?

If so, it makes sense to take care of all the descendants of the people he killed.

During your mission, there may have been situations where you had no choice but to kill innocent people.

However, the only person that Charon looks after is Luna.

in other words.

‘There is something more.’

I could feel it intuitively.

guilty. I have a hunch that those are just additional reasons.

The ‘real reason’ for taking care of Luna.

This will be the key to conquering Charon.

“Ah, there is one more unusual thing.”

“What is it?”

“They say Renia’s body wasn’t at the scene. The tree that Charon brought also disappeared while being transported to the execution site.”

The body disappeared? And the corpse of a traitor?

“Well, it must have been stolen by people who supported the Leicester family. “Because it was a family that people loved so much.”

“… … “It’s just a guess again.”

“Then what should I do? But it’s true that the body is missing. There was an uproar. “The officials were also punished.”

I got a useful piece of the puzzle, but I can’t do anything about it.

This is because it is a piece where you have no idea where to put it.

“Did you ask everything you were curious about? “Now it’s my turn.”

“yes?”

“I told you what I was curious about, so you should answer mine too.”

“… … “I don’t remember making such a promise.”

“Are you doing this so shamelessly? “Aren’t you going to watch it when we spar tomorrow?”

“Hehe, do as much as you want. “I will answer you sincerely.”

It’s okay to ask difficult questions. Because all you have to do is lie.

Well, Lucia’s question was expected from the beginning.

“What deal did you make with that bastard?”

The question is what deal was made with Charon.

It’s as expected. Isn’t this a question that was even asked before kissing Charon?

That I decided to receive education as a gutter rat, and that I would become a gutter rat when I graduated from the academy.

I calmly explained my transaction with Charon. OK.

“You want to work for that guy? “Are you crazy?”

“Hehe, I’m not crazy at all.”

“No, even if it was like that before, isn’t it natural for things to change now? I heard it was your dream to become the Leicester family’s rat? But you want to work for Charon, who killed Renia! “It’s strange!”

It’s just as Lucia said. It’s beyond strange.

but.

“Hehe, it could be a misunderstanding, right?”

“He showed up with his neck raised and boasted that he had cut it off. What a misunderstanding!”

Because of Charon’s cool personality, he probably didn’t brag.

In other words, that is a lie made up of Lucia’s intracerebral delusions.

At this point, the credibility drops even further.

‘Well, it seems to be true that Charon took Rhenia’s head.’

Lucia huffed and continued speaking.

“Ha, you’re really out of your mind? I can’t do it. “Maybe I should get into a fight with Charon and make the deal null and void.”

“Hehe, are you confident that you will win?”

“It won’t be easy. He’s probably hiding a secret weapon or two as well. But it’s the same here too. “It’s worth a try.”

Charon, the imperial rat who specializes in assassinations and interpersonal warfare.

Lucia, a hero recognized by the Empire and the Ten Swords of the Empire.

‘I’m personally curious about who will win, but… … .’

It’s difficult if the two fight.

Because they are both mine.

“Don’t fight with him.”

“why?”

“Because I’m worried.”

Lucia trembled.

Why is it like that? It’s just pure concern.

“Huh, huh… … Still, teaching is rewarding. But don’t worry. Let me be clear: you are the student and I am the teacher!”

Kkong face.

Lucia kept muttering, slightly turning her head, but my attention was already gone.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s a bit of a difficult situation.’

Luna is the problem.

It would be faster for Luna to realize that Charon was her enemy than to find out what happened to Charon and Renia that day.

Even setting aside other things, it is clear that Charon presented Rhenia’s head to the emperor.

It would be enough to make Luna angry.

‘enemy… … is it.’

The biggest reason why Charon cannot approach Luna. The reason we only look from behind.

This is how one piece of the puzzle came together. but.

I wasn’t happy at all. Strangely enough.

“By the way, I need to tell you who the survivors of the Lester family are.”

“yes?”

“It’s one of the terms of the deal! Don’t think about it rashly! “I really need to know this!”

Come to think of it, it was like that.

Training, three wish rights, and even an alliance with Lucia.

In return, they agreed to keep the secrets of the Lucid family secret and reveal the survivors of the Lester family.

Originally, I would have told you now, but… … .

‘It’s difficult.’

A ray of cold sweat ran down my back.

What if Luna found out that she was Renia’s daughter?

‘Luna! He will shout, ‘There’s your enemy over there!’, and Luna will run straight into Charon.

If I’m caught in the middle, I’ll have a hard time, and in the worst case scenario, I might lose both of them.

However, this is not a situation that can be passed off as a lie.

therefore… … .

“I’ll let you know just before I leave.”

“what? why?”

“I haven’t really gained anything.”

Training is in progress, the wishing power will be used later, and the alliance is not noticeable.

“I can’t give away what I have in a situation like this. So, I will let you know after I finish training and just before I leave.”

“Well, there are all these guys! “Do you really want to die?”

Lucia grabbed my head and started shaking it.

But I can’t help it.

Postpone it as much as possible and block Lucia and Luna’s approach on the last day.

Because that’s the best I can do right now.

“Speak, speak!”

Taltaltal-.

Of course, the cost was my precious hair.

* * *

Lucia pulled out a handful of Zero’s hair.

She shouted, throwing it into the air.

“Oh, I’m so annoyed! Anyway, those things called gutters… … No, that guy is not a gutter rat… … !”

The qualifications are more than sufficient.

Lucia realized that through this conversation.

“What if I admit it! “You feel worse!”

“Hehe, anger isn’t good for your skin, right?”

Lucia rolled her eyes.

The nanny who took care of him since childhood. Before she knew it, she was standing next to herself.

“Nanny, can you stop using that tone?”

“Hehe, the more I used it, the more attractive the tone became. I will learn it perfectly. “So that I don’t forget Zero even after I leave here.”

“… … ha.”

Lucia decided to leave it alone.

Because it’s not more important than separating Charon and Zero.

“It seems like you and Zero are getting along well. “Have you made any progress?”

“What progress is progress? “It’s my age, but I can never deal with such a suspicious person.”

“What on earth is so suspicious about Zero-kun?”

“Yeah… … .”

Lucia thought for a moment.

I soon realized that I couldn’t tell the truth.

What if we say, ‘Zero knows our family’s secret’?

The nanny’s worries will never end.

This may be reported to Marquis Luke.

In the end, Lucia’s choice was… … .

“it is a secret.”

The nanny’s eyes were torn to the side. At the same time, a sinister smile appeared.

Rather than feeling bad, it seems like he discovered something interesting.

“Hoho, it’s a secret even from me, the nanny. “Are you already in a relationship like that?”

“It’s not that kind of secret…” … .”

“Have more secrets. For example… … @#$% or something?”

“Kyaaaaaa! nurse! “What on earth are you talking about?”

Lucia screamed in horror.

Is it because it is such a huge(?) statement? It triggered a rejection reaction in my head.

“Are you going to come home now?”

“hmm… … .”

Lucia was lost in thought for a moment.

Normally, it would be time to tease cute Delyn while lying on the bed.

but.

-Hehe, it could be a misunderstanding, right?

Suddenly, why did Zero’s words come to mind?

“… … “Nanny, do you know where Charon is now?”

“… … !”

The nanny pretended like nothing was wrong and tried desperately to control her facial expression.

This is because I know very well that Lucia hates Charon.

But, as if showing such a docile attitude wasn’t enough, I would even go so far as to meet him.

“It will be easy to find out if you catch a rat nearby.”

It is taboo to talk about Charon’s location.

However, Charon’s instructions are that it is okay to tell a strong person of Elester level.

If a strong person is looking for Charon, it means that the situation is urgent.

And the nanny knew well that this was a rule that also applied to Lucia.

No, even if that doesn’t work, I plan to force them to open their mouths.

Because Lucia was on the verge of mental growth.

“I need to meet Charon.”

“We will be together.”

“Can I go alone?”

“Protecting the lady. “That is the meaning of my existence.”

The nanny smiled and disappeared.

He must have gone to catch a sewer rat.

‘The meaning of the nanny’s existence is to protect me… … .’

It feels good but is also a bad word.

Lucia was lost in thought as she looked at the place where her nanny had disappeared.

But nanny, you know what?

Protecting my family is the meaning of my existence. therefore.

Also protecting the nanny.

“It is the meaning of my existence.”
