SSS-Class Suicide Hunter Chapter 217

Episode 217 < The Golden Rule. (1) >

“why… … .”

I had no choice but to ask.

“Why did you gather only those people and make them your lovers?”

Topju Amethyst.

She will one day build a tower to gather abandoned people from all over the world. Children sacrificed by religious fanaticism, warriors who died in unreasonable disasters, women whose lives were imprisoned by a miracle they could not resist… . We bring abandoned and broken lives to the tower and give them a new world.

‘The one who built the tower for the victims.’

Why did such a person have murderers as his lovers?

I looked at Viscount Amethyst with a question in my eyes.

“Because they are like that… .”

Viscount Amethyst smiled.

“Who exactly are you talking about, advisor?”

“People who have committed too great a sin. They beat children to death with whips and made people into human flesh and ate them. The war led to the death of many civilians. Why do you love people like that? Why are you still allowing them to sit on the nobility? You are the one who will build the tower in the future. It has almost omnipotent power. But why don’t you punish them? … .”

“Advisor.”

Viscount Amethyst blurted out.

“He is a very kind person.”

“yes?”

“Those who climb the tower like Advisor will be very happy.”

I tilted my head and asked what that meant.

However, Viscount Amethyst did not explain. Instead, he just sat in his chair and looked straight ahead. I too was drawn to her gaze and saw the scene before her eyes.

“The fact that someone who is not even 20 years old is being recommended to the position of duke is itself a joke!”

There was a heated debate going on in the break room.

Aristocrats of the conservative faction… Did he clearly say he was Count Arujo?

A nobleman with hair as wild as a lion’s mane was irritated.

“Viscount Amethyst is eighteen. eighteen. “No matter how many rebellions have been suppressed or how many dragon kingdoms have been conquered, the kingdom clearly has a top and a bottom and an order.”

“indeed.”

Phew-.

This time, a noble belonging to Viscount Amethyst’s faction held a hookah.

“Your Excellency the Count is right. I couldn’t understand why, rather than being subdued, the rebels over the past few decades were growing stronger day by day… . Listening to your words today, I feel like my eyes have been opened. While eighteen-year-old Ahae was shedding blood and sweat against the rebels, great nobles like His Excellency the Earl were correcting the rules of the commonwealth. “Thanks to you, I know that the kingdom has prospered rather than fallen.”

There was laughter here and there.

The nobles of Viscount Amethyst’s faction joined in with the colleague who had just spoken and laughed.

“Really. “I was blaming myself for putting all the burden on a young girl, but now I see that I should have been criticized for daring to exploit a young girl.”

“That’s right. If our party leader had not stepped forward, 200,000 people would have been killed in the suppression of the Golden Dragon again. No, if Red Nail had not been subdued, millions of subjects would still be groaning in pain. But what good does it do? Even though he has protected the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the safety of millions of people, Ahae is still only 18 years old. “The commission is nonsense.”

“That’s right. “The benevolence of His Excellency Count Arujo, who cares about the laws of the kingdom, is truly beautiful!”

The nobles launched waves of attacks.

They were all lovers of Viscount Amethyst.

[Child Killer] Marquis Baekseolto looked around with a cautious expression, [Human Flesh Devourer] Viscount Pureheuksin backed up his colleagues, and [Slaughterer] Viscount Daeharan openly chuckled. The reactions were varied, but they were all gathered in one place for Viscount Amethyst.

“under…….”

Count Arujo’s face darkened.

Is it humiliating to be pushed out of an argument?

The Count suddenly muttered.

“The dogs of Gisaeng (波生)… … “Your barking skills are excellent.”

The son-in-law became quiet at that one word.

The nobles who had leisurely ridiculed the Count so far had their expressions all turn cold. The smile disappeared from his face. Anger burned in their eyes, disguised as expressionless expression.

“How do you feel, Gongja Kim?”

Viscount Amethyst whispered.

A voice so small that only I can hear it.

“Isn’t it fun?”

“…….”

“The people who take the side of the small people over there are all murderers, just like Gongja Kim said. They are slaughterers. They are sinners. But, look. “Look at those people’s faces now.”

Viscount Amethyst lifted her hips and leaned towards me.

“I am suffering.”

Her lips came closer, whispering.

“It’s just that Soin was criticized for being a gisaeng. It’s not really wrong. Because Soin charmed countless nobles and royal families with his music, dance, and sweet push. He is a life that bewitches people with all kinds of skills. So, parasitic. Even so, Count Arujo was holding back his words. “On the streets, people openly call small people prostitutes.”

Kuuk.

Viscount Amethyst tugged on my sleeve.

“look. Gongja Kim.”

Pulled by a small force of gravity, I had to bend down. As my shoulder was level with her face, Amethyst whispered in my ear.

“A person who killed a child by whipping him, a nobleman who glutted humans, a general who massacred civilians, all of them are hurt by the fact that they were just cursed as parasites.”

“…….”

“It’s so much fun.”

Viscount Amethyst whispered and crossed her arms around my right arm.

It felt like a snake was crawling up my body.

“There are hundreds of books of law in the kingdom. According to the laws specified, we can calculate the sins of those [sinners], measure their mistakes, and derive responsibility. It is a troublesome but easy task. If a person wants to, he can immediately find a criminal. “We can have them executed. What should we do, Gongja Kim? Should we kill them all?”

“that… … .”

“yes.”

The snake smiled.

The snake’s eyes sparkled purple under its long eyelids.

“You think [that’s a bit harsh], don’t you?”

“…….”

“In the eyes of a small person, Gongja Kim is that kind of person. You are kind. “At the point when he feels that it is [bad] to kill those who have done wrong, Confucius Kim is already of a completely different race from Soin.”

“What does it mean?”

“There’s no way it would be that bad to just kill him.”

Viscount Amethyst grabbed my cheek.

And I forced my gaze away.

Our eyes were focused on a nobleman with hair as white as a snow rabbit. Marquis Snow White was looking around at the people of both factions with a puzzled look on his face.

“Marquis Baekseolto murdered the same minor when he was a minor. He delivered the settlement money to the bereaved family. On the one hand, there is a great noble family that is prosperous in the royal capital. On the other hand, an ordinary freedman’s family. “It’s a settlement money, but in reality it’s an ultimatum, right?”

It must have been so.

“The criminal was a minor at the time of the crime. There is even a fact that he is a nobleman and has reached an agreement with the victims’ families. If this happens, the sentence that Marquis Baekseolto will receive is… … well? No matter how hard you hit it, will it still be a ruin at best? Voila. “That is the punishment guaranteed by law.”

Viscount Amethyst said playfully.

“On the other hand, the bereaved family was devastated.”

“…….”

“Unlike noble families, commoner families are surprisingly easy to break down. That family. The three of us lived together, the granddaughter, grandfather, and grandmother. The granddaughter who was murdered by Marquis Baekseolto was the only descendant. “That granddaughter died.”

Viscount Amethyst whispered in my ear.

“Do you understand, Gongja Kim? The family was ruined. It’s broken. It’s broken. What is the use of receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in settlement money? Can you assemble a child’s broken body with gold? If, according to the great and dignified laws of the kingdom, and according to the majesty of His Excellency, the good and fair judge, we miraculously succeed in putting Marquis Snow White out of business, will that resolve all the resentment of the bereaved family?”

“…….”

“A sinner who ruined my life and ruined my family. Even if you kill the criminal, the grudge will not be resolved. Think about it. Her granddaughter died? One winter day, on a field of pure white snow, a nobleman’s whip pierced his back and his spine broke, causing him to die. “Would that just end in a single death?”

“then… What should I do?”

I understood what the Viscount said.

That was similar to the concerns I had while taking down the Constellation Killer.

Those who have already committed a sin. People who have been victimized by them.

What can I do to make up for my ruined life?

Even a good person like the Black Dragon Master had countless blood on his hands. I have a friendship with the Black Dragon Master. I have not yet been able to find an answer to whether that is the right thing to do and, if not, what to do.

“pain.”

The owner of the tower answered.

“Pain is the only answer.”

She stroked the side of my head.

“The pain of losing my granddaughter. The pain of the last six years she had to live with after her granddaughter was gone. The pain of never seeing her granddaughter again, the pain of the rest of her life. Returning all that pain and [exactly the same pain] to the sinner. “That is the law that must be fulfilled in this world, and it is the law that small people wish to fulfill in the kingdom.”

Viscount Amethyst spoke as if she were a senior giving advice to her favorite junior.

But her eyes. Purple eyes had the magic power to make even the kindest consideration seem like an evil curse.

That’s probably why. Viscount Amethyst was seen as a senior who cared for her juniors, and was also seen as a devil tempting passers-by.

“The Little Man will re-establish this kingdom under the law of suffering. Not just the kingdom, but the world. Not just here, but all over the world too. “All of the universe where the feet of small people walk and the eyes of small people reflect.”

“…….”

“The tower is a means to do that.”

I was speechless for a moment.

“That kind of thing… … Is it possible?”

“There are two ways to make the impossible possible. One thing is crazy. All you have to do is go crazy and be delusional and make the impossible possible in your fantasy.”

“What is the other one?”

“It’s about becoming a person of power.”

Viscount Amethyst giggled.

“Power is something to possess. It’s about dominating. “The small man bewitched six dukes, seduced one majesty, and captured three dragon emperors.”

Viscount Amethyst raised her finger.

“Only to become the most powerful person in the world.”

Tuk.

Tuk.

Viscount Amethyst tapped the arm of her chair twice.

“…….”

Then the nobles of the Amethyst faction all looked at this place.

“…….”

The people who were glaring at Count Arujo stopped what they were doing and what they were saying as soon as they heard the armrest ringing twice. They turned their heads at the signal from their master.

The same was true for the opposing faction. At first, they kept talking, but as the other people turned their gazes at once, they couldn’t help but feel strange. Thus, the nobles on the other side turned to look at Viscount Amethyst.

As the nobles looked in one direction, the servants who were serving drinks, the performers who were selecting music, and others also looked at Viscount Amethyst.

13 seconds.

That was the time it took for hundreds of humans to see only Viscount Amethyst in the spacious lounge. The fierce shouting, subtle sarcasm, and cold anger stopped for an instant.

There was silence everywhere.

“Dear fellow nobles,” he said.

Viscount Amethyst opened her lips while receiving hundreds of gazes.

“I would have come out to the lounge to rest, but seeing you here discussing so hard, I can’t hide my pride as a member of the kingdom. I’m worried about whether Congress will actually pay you overtime. “I can’t be working overtime in a place like this when I’m not making any money.”

Viscount Amethyst stood up, using my shoulder as a stepping stone.

“Enough rest. “Now go back to the conference hall and resume your work.”

At the same time, the nobles belonging to the Viscount’s faction stood up.

After they stood up, there were empty wine glasses, glasses that were not yet empty, and glasses that had not even been touched to the lips. The nobles gathered around Viscount Amethyst without a moment of hesitation.

It was a truly bizarre scene, considering that each and every one of them was a powerful person incomparable to a commoner.

“Ego.”

In a strange scene, Viscount Amethyst grabbed my wrist.

“Mr. Kim Gongja.”

“Tonight, Soin will show you a miracle.”

Amethyst was smiling brightly.
