Episode 219 < The Golden Rule. (3) >
The son-in-law became quiet.
Many nobles were shaken by Viscount Amethyst’s remarks.
“It’s lovely…” … ?”
Count Arujo had a shocked expression. Most nobles reacted similarly.
However, those collected directly by Viscount Amethyst.
Only the lovers who were loved by the Viscount and loved him showed no change in their countenances. It was grave. ‘The stories that need to be told are coming out, and the stories that need to be heard are being heard.’ The Viscount’s lovers seemed to think so.
“Yes.”
Viscount Amethyst spoke in a perplexed mood.
“A person who collapses from the misfortune he or she has caused. The sight of a noble person groaning because he cannot bear his own weight is something that always touches the heart. If I were to compare Marquis Baekseolto, would he be like honey rice cake? “When you take a bite, sweetness fills your mouth.”
“… … “What are you talking about now?”
Count Arujo was dumbfounded.
“ha.”
Viscount Amethyst sighed. And shrugged his shoulders. It was clearly an attitude of ignoring and looking down on Count Arujo.
“It’s okay if you don’t know. Even if a treasure map falls right in front of you, there are adventurers who set out to find it, while there are also lowlifes who laugh at adventurers. So does the story end here?”
“what?”
“I’m asking if you have anything more to say. Count. [There is a poor people.] [They lost their granddaughter to a noble.] [The noble belongs to a small person.] If I summarize the story that has been discussed so far, it will be concluded at this point, but if you have nothing more to say, please leave. “It’s already late at night, so it would be difficult if the meeting was delayed further.”
“Yes, your guy… … . “This old man lost his only granddaughter!”
Count Arujo shouted.
“That day was my grandmother’s birthday. Do you know? “Her granddaughter was running to give her grandmother her birthday present, but she was beaten to death by Marquis Snow White!”
“…….”
The old man with his head under the throne was lying down meekly. Without even paying the old man a glance, Count Arujo took something out of his chest.
Hairpin. It was an accessory worn by women in female households in their hair.
“Look! The hairpin presented now is a birthday present prepared by her granddaughter. “I was running to give this gift to my grandmother, but on the way, I bumped into the Lady of the Marquis of Snow White!”
Count Arujo spoke desperately and impassionedly.
I wondered if the Count was really desperate to understand the old man’s situation.
But whatever the reason, the human desperation was persuasive. Suddenly, the nobles ignored Viscount Amethyst’s remarks and looked at the old man with pitiful eyes.
“My granddaughter collapsed in the snow. And with a simple smile, she apologized to Lady Snow White, saying, “I’m sorry,” and “I should have seen better.” “If they had forgiven me because I apologized, that would have been the end of it. It was an accident that would have happened anywhere.”
Count Arujo now fully regained his confidence.
The old man’s shabby back, the sympathy pouring over it, and the face of Viscount Amethyst, who seems indifferent to everything.
All factors gave Count Arujo confidence in victory.
“But Lady Snow White captured a commoner’s child. and… … .”
“I’m bored.”
Viscount Amethyst muttered.
It was a voice that was heard only briefly, like the fluttering of a dragonfly’s wings.
Except me, no one heard the Viscount talking to himself.
Count Arujo was still speaking powerfully. The audience’s gaze turned to the count. Therefore, when I looked at her Amethyst Viscount, I was able to have her monologue completely to myself.
“Ari wasn’t the only one who prepared a birthday present that day.”
I tilted my head.
“Yari… … “Who is this?”
“Granddaughter. “A child who was whipped to death by the Lady of Snow White.”
Viscount Amethyst answered abruptly.
“That day was also Youngae’s grandfather’s birthday. Coincidentally, both girls had prepared birthday presents. “Lady Baekseolto made a brooch with the family pattern on it herself, but was unable to hand it to her grandfather.”
“… … “Why?”
I sensed something strange in the Viscount’s eyes.
It’s not like I heard it from someone else.
It’s like he’s talking about something he saw himself.
“I couldn’t properly solve the math homework my grandfather gave me. I got scolded. Her daughter could not bear to hand over the brooch. “What child in the world would give a gift to an adult with a frown on his face?”
“…….”
“When a commoner girl and a noble girl collided on the street, the brooch fell into the snow. Even though I fell, I didn’t just fall, I ended up being stepped on by a commoner girl. “She broke.”
Viscount Amethyst said with a fever-free face.
“It wasn’t a particularly expensive-looking brooch. It was hard to say she was good at it. It’s a miscellaneous item that doesn’t cause any major problems if it breaks. But the lady picked up the broken brooch and thrust it at the commoner.”
“And I said it.”
I’m broken because of you.
“The commoner child lowered his head in surprise.”
Sorry, miss.
I’m truly sorry.
“But children know how to apologize, but they don’t know how to receive an apology. Moreover, at the time, the daughter of the Marquis of Baekseolto was so crazy that she was called the [brainless daughter]. There is no way the reaction will be the same.”
It shouldn’t have been broken, but you broke it!
“The lady had a bodyguard. Well, in fact, the young lady was the marquis’ only successor. The loyalty of the guards who followed us was also deep. “The lady reached out to the guard.”
bodyguard!
whip!
“The guard handed the whip to the owner without any hesitation. The young lady took the whip. “His daughter whined as she swung the whip, which was too thick for her grip.”
The child’s whip hit the child’s back.
“One of them hit the whip with all the strength in his body, and the other hit the whip with his whole body convulsing.”
I’d rather just destroy everything! what! what! Like this, what!
“It hurts, girl.”
“sick. “My lady, I’m sorry, it hurts.”

I feel stupid.
They’re all just idiots.
Grandpa, grandpa is a fool!
“No one stopped the lady.”
It is said that there was blood on the snow field.
Lady Snow White’s guards received their whips back. The attendant who was attending to the lady picked up the belongings that had not yet been preserved from the mangled body. It was not because he sympathized with the commoner child. It just occurred to him that he should tell it to someone.
“Look!”
By now, the relics were in the hands of Count Arujo.
“Can’t you see the resentment in this keepsake! viscount!”
The hairpin has withered away over the past six years. Her hairpin, which she had probably polished to shine as a gift to her grandmother, had now lost its luster and picked up dust on her own skin. It was old and dilapidated, and was a miscellaneous item that could be found anywhere.
“Is the Viscount’s blood cold-blooded?”
“…….”
Viscount Amethyst just listened to Count Arujo’s ranting with a strange smile on his face.
“Are only the principles of the sage and the words of the classics still in the Viscount’s head? Otherwise, how can you sit so calmly after seeing these relics, these traces of blood, and these scars of death?”
no.
“The Viscount certainly does not have human blood flowing in him!”
That’s not it.
Count Arujo… … And people are misunderstanding something.
To the Viscount, [everything is visible].
I know much more than Count Arujo does. He even witnessed his granddaughter’s death much closer than the old man sitting on his back there.
That’s not all.
What were your granddaughter’s last thoughts as she was dying? What was the last thing you said. Why did the daughter of the Marquis of Snow White swear and brandish her whip?
Viscount Amethyst knows much more than others.
‘because.’
While my head was dizzy, I managed to get the reasoning out of my mouth.
“viscount. Are you… … It has [Golden Dragon Eyes].”
“Hmm?”
Then Viscount Amethyst turned to me.
“What do you mean, advisor?”
I swallowed.
In the distance, Count Arujo was shouting. He was criticized for not knowing human nature and was even called an illegitimate child without any foundation. He was slandered as a tyrant who did not know how to care for his people. He declared that it was foolish to recommend such a person to the dukedom.
There was a lot of noise everywhere, which created the perfect environment for the two of us to exchange secret whispers.
“The eyes of the golden dragon.”
“yes. “Is there something wrong with the Golden Dragon’s Eye?”
“The golden dragon’s eyes can see everything. From an omniscient perspective. I see how you can have one body and yet encompass the entire tower. viscount. “You have been given the ability to intuit all things at once.”
“It’s not wrong. So?”
“… … In addition, you also have [Ice Dragon’s Breath].”
My heart was pounding.
“[Ice Dragon’s Breath] allows you to travel to any time you want. [Eyes that can see anything]. [Breath that can go anywhere]. You have both. If you wish… … .”
“What if a small person wishes?”
“It is possible to witness right under your nose the moment when your granddaughter was whipped to death.”
I said.
“That is your omniscience.”
This is why the top owner has omniscient abilities.
“By using [Golden Dragon’s Eyes] and [Ice Dragon’s Breath], you can watch all the death and despair happening in this world right under your nose.”
“…….”
“The two powers allow you to observe all events taking place in the tower.”
It was that moment.
[answer.]
[I acknowledge that I have broken through the second gateway.]
[The Golden Dragon’s Eye and the Ice Dragon’s Breath form the tower’s observation organ.]
There was silence for a moment.
Purple eyes savored my face.
“that’s right.”
Viscount Amethyst slowly opened her lips.
There was a smile at the corners of her soft lips.
“It’s not bad. The information given to the advisor would have been of little use. “I managed to assemble it here and there to figure out the project Soin had planned.”
“you are… … .”
“There should be a reward for the hero who answers correctly.”
Viscount Amethyst gently grabbed my wrist.
“—I will show you the death of my granddaughter.”
Mulkyung.
Something crawled up my ankle. It was as cool as a snake’s skin. When I looked down in surprise, I saw a darkness that could only be described as a water shadow, a shadow, creeping along my skin from the surface of the water.
“Follow me.”
The next moment, I was consumed by the shadow.
4.
Clap!
Snowflakes stuck to the whip spattered.
The eyeballs were heavy with blood. It bounced in the air, but didn’t fly very high. With a lumpy body, it fell vertically towards the already bright red puddle of blood.
“It’s your fault!”
“Save me… … State tax… … yo. this… … .”
“Yes, yes, it’s because of you! you! It’s your fault! “If it weren’t for you!”
The whip hit the air.
Eyeballs melted on the surface of the pool of blood.
“ah… … .”
The little child twitched.
The last bit of body heat left in the child’s body flowed down as snow. A very fine stream of water, melted by the body temperature, spread around.
“…….”
“It’s me.”
Viscount Amethyst raised her finger. The two of us were locked in the darkness of the alley. There were passers-by walking up and down the street, but they were all frightened by the fierce force of the marquis’s guards and avoided them by moving into the alley.
“Marquis Snow White. Now she is the daughter of the Marquis of Snow White. “The child that the young lady whipped to death when he was 10 years old is lying right there.”
I instinctively tried to run away.
But it was impossible.
A hand with a much stronger grip than mine grabbed my wrist.
“No.”
“Why, why not? I have to go right now. If you go and take him to the doctor, maybe… … !”
“Maybe we can save it. yes. Maybe you suffer from deathly pain during the winter, but as the season goes by, your body gets better, and you may be able to lead a normal, happy life again. The Marquis will also provide generous compensation. In fact, you will be able to live a more prosperous life than before.”
“But why are you holding my wrist now…” … !”
“Advisor.”
Viscount Amethyst smiled.
“Mr. Kim Gongja.”
From there, the sound of a whip echoed across the winter sky.
“How many times do you think you’ve seen something like this?”
The young lady fiercely whipped the corpse of a child who was almost dead. Someone’s winter was dying there.
“Soin is eighteen years old. However, he has lived a countless, infinite life that the number eighteen cannot possibly contain. Just like now, he watched the death of one child, hundreds of children, thousands of people, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, billions, trillions, trillions of people, and he watched the death of Hang Ha-sa right before his eyes.”
“I saw all the infanticides, robberies, murders, victories, defeats, routs, and massacres that took place from the winter before 2001, when the kingdom was founded, to the present, December 24, 2001 by the kingdom calendar. So far, it’s only limited to the history of the kingdom. Someday in this world. No, I will watch every death in every world.”
“And, I won’t do anything.”
I was hoarse.
“yes… … ?”
“A small person can prevent that child’s death. She could have reversed any number of unfair deaths. “By going back and going back again, until all the irrational deaths disappeared, I could have established a righteous world line.”
but.
“I don’t.”
Viscount Amethyst smiled brightly.
“forever.”
“…….”
“I never interfere.”
“Why…?” … ?”
“Only then will all the misfortunes that occur in this world be solely [the fault of small people].”
The child is dead.
The Marquis’s daughter huffed and kicked the corpse, unable to overcome her anger, then turned around and walked away. Snowflakes falling from the sky covered the little lady’s back.
“Why did that child die, advisor? “What went wrong that caused him to die?”
Viscount Amethyst’s voice was dark.
“Why did I run into the daughter of the Marquis of Snow White? Is that wrong? well. What was the daughter of the Marquis of Snow White’s fault? Why did you grow up under the care of your grandfather? That I wasn’t born with a brain that would have pleased my grandfather? So, is it a mistake for the Marquis of Snow White to have been born?”
Viscount Amethyst let go of my wrist.
“no. Those things are all coincidental. You can’t blame it on coincidence. You weren’t born wrong. “There is no such thing as a wrongly born life in this world.”
“…….”
“There is only one person who is at fault.”
She brought her hands together to her chest.
“The boy was able to go up to the granddaughter and tell her that the road ahead is dangerous, so go another way. Then the child would have simply avoided the misfortune that would come to him. Soin also became a friend to her daughter, Marquis Baekseolto, whose name she did not know, and was able to give her private lessons. Then, her daughter will become smarter day by day and one day receive her grandfather’s recognition.”
Viscount Amethyst put her hands together as if praying somewhere and then looked up at me.
“A small person has the ability to do that.”
“…….”
“I don’t.”
“never. No matter what happens.”
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed.
The blood-soaked snow field disappeared, and the great assembly hall opened up with amniotic fluid flowing.
Count Arujo was still pointing his finger in this direction and scolding Viscount Amethyst. It was true that the gisaeng in the royal capital lacked humanity. How could a human not be saddened by Ah-hae’s death? Why wouldn’t he try to help? …
“Advisor.”
In the middle of the noisy, bloody parliament, Viscount Amethyst whispered to me.
“There is no such thing as accidental death in this world. There is not even accidental misfortune. “All deaths and misfortunes are intentionally overlooked by small people.”
“…….”
“All the misfortunes you have experienced so far are the fault of small people. Because the small people did not move, because the small people did not take care of them, and because the small people ignored them, there was endless misfortune and the despair of the sailors. At least in this kingdom. And in all the worlds to come.”
“…….”
“Do you know what I mean, Little Man’s Advisor?”
Viscount Amethyst smiled like a saint.
At that time, the surrounding scenery changed once again.
This time, it was a scene where Viscount Pureheuksin was eating human flesh.
“Ego.”
Viscount Amethyst stroked the back of my hand.
“Now blame the little people.”
My heart was pounding.
“Scream why I didn’t help you. That’s not a meaningless cry. Because the small person had the power to help you, and the small person was really in the exact place where you were unhappy. Ask him why he didn’t save him. That’s not a meaningless question. “Because a small person was able to solve it.”
She squeezed my hand.
“By the existence of a predisposition.”
I was out of breath.
“Now you have a [criminal] to point the finger at clearly, without a single lie, without a single suspicion.”
One god spoke.
“The small man is [a god who never returns]. “He is a god who does not return for anyone and only watches over your misfortune.”
God quietly declared.
“So he is a god you can condemn and tear apart.”
The name of the god was Amethyst.
