Episode 170

“excuse me… By any chance, do you remember me?”

“no. “I don’t remember.”

‘what? this person is… How did you know it was me? Without even looking back at me once.’

“… Ray? if… Do you have eyes in the back?”

“Did your father teach you to be so rude when you first greet each other?”

“Oh, sin… “I’m sorry.”

“Tsk, I’m an extremely ordinary human being. “It doesn’t have eyes on the back of its head.”

“ah… yes.”

Ray Vallière said calmly, pointing to the back of his head.

I asked, giving him a fake smile at his joke.

“I’m behind you… “How did you know it was me without turning around?”

“… … .”

Ray Vallière pursed his lips for a moment, then sighed and answered.

“In this imperial castle, except for Laura and Jin, very few people talk to me. There was a recent Innocent promotion exam there. It is customary for anyone who passes through it to greet all the imperial court mages and other Innocents, so if you said you spoke to me, do you have any further business?”

“monster… You’re amazing. “More than that, I think you know some things about me who passed the test.”

“Just, whatever. “I only heard about it.”

‘My ability to reason is at an end.’

At the time, I thought this.

But that alone doesn’t make sense for me to answer without turning my head.

“… However, I did not come to find out Ray’s reasoning skills. “I just want to say hello, so if you don’t mind, could you please turn your head away?”

“I don’t think we’ll see much of each other anyway, so let’s just say hello and leave.”

At this time, I was confident.

This person just wanted to start a fight with the acting head of the family during the inauguration ceremony.

The fact that he treats me so bluntly when I’m newly innocent is proof of this.

Thinking like that, I lightly lowered my head and tried to leave.

I was sure that I would never have to face this person again.

Until he said those words.

“If you don’t change your lying habit, you will regret it later.”

“… yes?”

As I was leaving, I turned my head to what Ray Vallière said.

Then he looked around and pointed at himself with his finger.

“Are you talking about me?”

“Is there anyone else here besides you?”

“What does that mean? “You have a habit of lying?”

“You didn’t come to say hello.”

“… … ?”

‘No, it’s true that I came to say hello. Is this person bluffing by showing off his momentum just because he guessed a little bit?’

I thought so, but Ray Vallière shattered my thoughts into pieces.

“The Innocent exam took place about two days ago. From then on, it would be too quick to go through various procedures and make a customary greeting. He’s usually the last one to come to say hello to me. “Because you don’t want to mix things up with me as much as possible.”

For a moment, I didn’t know what this man’s words meant, but I soon realized it myself.

“Aren’t you in a hurry to come to me to confirm something or to tell me something?”

“… Your reasoning was too weak. No matter what the order is… … .”

“No, you’re right. Because didn’t you just say hello to Laura?”

That’s correct.

As if reading my thoughts, Ray Vallière spoke.

“You look like you’re thinking about how you got it right?”

“… yes.”

“Go to sleep and usually, when you become Innocent, the first person you go to say hello to is Laura, so I just took a rough picture. “Did you expect something big?”

“… Ugh!”

“Oh, by the way, if I’m wrong, can you tell me I’m wrong? Well, it would be embarrassing to say something so confidently and be wrong.”

‘Oh, I was just thinking about it.’

I tried to leave again.

I thought to myself that this time it was really goodbye.

But Ray Vallière stopped me by adding something.

“So that’s it. As far as I know, Laura’s schedule today is to inspect the system. And there is no Innocent in the imperial castle right now. After meeting Laura outside, she ‘dared’ to come back to the castle and say hello to me… “You just think she has some business to do, right?”

“What if I had business in the imperial castle?”

“Huh~ Then I guess I should have brought a servant at least. But when I heard the footsteps, there was no servant near you right now, right? In other words, you have come to do a task that cannot be shown to other humans. And maybe that’s what greets me… No, more accurately, it’s something I need to see.”

‘Nonsense!’

Other than these words, nothing else came to mind.

This man guessed my thoughts without even looking back.

‘No, is it that you don’t want to see my face that much?’

“I should add, I have absolutely no regrets about killing your father.”

“… … ?!”

At that moment, my whole body stiffened.

“You may criticize me, but I have no regrets. So, if you’re here to get an apology from me, leave it alone.”

“… “Isn’t it okay to at least pretend to be?”

“I’m the kind of person who’s stubborn and not good at putting on a show. If you know, go. “Maybe that was your business?”

Ray Vallière waved his hand without looking back at me until the end.

Anyone else might have been more vengeful or saddened by his cold response, but… … .

“yes. All right.”

At that moment, I realized.

this person is… That he is a person who has gone far beyond what I thought.

That he likes me or that he’s just a fighting fanatic, those were just my expectations.

That this person goes beyond that and has a charm that cannot be described in words.

I realized then.

“then.”

Ray. Although it may not be enough, I’ll just make a guess.

You are definitely a more considerate person than anyone else.

* * *

After parting ways with Ray Vallière, I immediately returned home and looked through my father’s library.

The servant tried to dissuade me, but I didn’t care about that and searched the library like a mouse.

After searching for about two days, I ended up finding the information my father had hidden.

The data… … .

“father… “You are truly the worst.”

It was the worst experiment progress report that even made me, a fellow relative, hold my tongue.

The Funes family was originally a noble swan family, and is famous for having almost no relationships with families other than the 12 families.

In fact, it is said that one ancestor, when his son tried to form a relationship with a low-ranking family, erased his name from the family register, kicked him out, and secretly killed him.

Here, relationship does not simply refer to marriage, but refers to most commercial or social activities in general.

My father always said that the people of the Funnes family must always be proud, noble, and enjoy loneliness like a swan on a lake.

I never would have thought that my father would have participated in such an experiment… … .

After two years, my desire for revenge turned into a feeling of betrayal towards my parents.

“… “It can’t be like this.”

It was right before I fired the at my father’s tombstone that I regained my senses.

My parents, who raised me until now, no matter how many people were thrown away as experiment material.

No matter how disgusting it is, you have to endure it.

I haven’t visited my parents’ graves since.

Instead, I continued searching through my father’s library to find information about the incident.

As a result of going around and gathering information, which is unusual for me, I was able to conclude that the reason Ray Vallière did what he did was to take revenge on his parents.

Of course, mass murder is a crime.

However, the force that moved me was greater than the fear or disgust of crime.

So much so that even I, who was always praised for being beautiful and strong, was fascinated by him.

What made me think of him this way was the last words he said.

‘He told me before I even asked that he didn’t regret killing his parents first. It must have been considerate of me. If he really doesn’t regret it, there’s no need to say that even if I didn’t ask. Then obviously… Even on the inauguration day… … .’

That person inevitably receives resentment and hatred from others.

However, considering that no one wants to be resented and hated, the reason why he acts like that is… … .

“You’re trying to protect yourself.”

I wasn’t as good at reasoning as him, but I could tell.

I can’t pinpoint him because I’ve only met him briefly, but he’s weaker and more timid than anyone else, but he’s cool-headed and more considerate than anyone else.

He is a man named Ray Vallière.

You might think my tastes are a little warped, but I… … .

“I think I’m in love… … .”

* * *

“What are you going to do now?”

“What should I do? What should I do?” We have to attack the Blois family right away… … .”

Growling.

“… “I guess I should eat before I hit.”

As a hunger signal rang in Ray’s stomach, everyone there burst into laughter.

Even fallen knights.

Ray blushed and became excited, as if his embarrassment had reached its peak.

“Why why! Don’t you have any such thing as hunger!? “I’ve been starving since this morning, so I can’t do this!”

“Hahaha! After all, Ray is a human too!”

“Then you thought I was a real devil?”

Ray tried to say it as a joke, but for some reason there was no response.

Pia left the handling of the knights to one of the Swan Knights and spoke to Ray.

“Ray. Since you seem to be hungry, I will prepare a meal for you. So please wait a moment… … .”

“it’s okay. “Even if I eat it, I will eat it outside.”

“… You still don’t believe it… … .”

“You’re in trouble if you keep being sullen about things like that. Think about it. Now the knights are breaking out in your front yard. Why don’t you send more reinforcements? “You should think about what to do about this situation.”

“… ha.”

Pia let out an inexplicable sigh.

Although I understood what Ray said, I felt like I didn’t want to do it, so I puffed out my cheeks and glared at Ray.

“why… Why do you look at me like that?”

“also… “You are still dull in this direction.”

“what?! Am I dull? Where!”

“great. It can’t be helped. “I’ll put off eating until later.”

Pia had no choice but to step down.

Then another member of the Swan Knights spoke to Ray.

“Hey, Ray. “I hate to tell you this, but there isn’t a single place on the island that will provide you with a meal right now, Ray.”

“I guess so. No matter how innocent a restaurant is, there is no restaurant that would welcome criminals.”

“Maybe even if Ray threatens me… … .”

“Sin will only increase. I know. So, I’m going to go to another village.”

“Another town?”

“okay. “If it were another village, I don’t think it would have been touched by the head of the family yet.”

“hmm… “Is there such a place?”

Even though the Swan Knights asked, Ray did not answer the question and suddenly asked the other Swan Knights.

“Am I the one who thinks I have a lot of magical power?”

“yes?”

The Swan Knights looked at each other for a moment as if dumbfounded by Ray’s question, but then turned their attention to one person.

“… Well, I guess that’s the answer… … .”

Of course, the place where their eyes were focused was on Pia.

The children of the Funnes family have been known to have high magical power for generations, but among the humans of the Funnes family, there was not a single one who was called ‘out of standard’.

Except for her, Pia.

Perhaps her magical power would meet the conditions Ray mentioned.

“… Well, it can’t be helped. “Let’s get some help, Pia.”
