Episode 245. Helpers (2)
“This, this? “What are you talking about?”
A sunny morning without a single cloud.
Unlike the clear sky, Emily’s face was completely dark.
Nana, who had secretly gone for a morning walk, unintentionally found an official document placed on the table.
After checking the contents, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Are you saying we will absolve you of our master’s sins?”
There was also a wanted order for Eshel in the previous content, but none of that caught Emily’s eye.
Her wide-open eyes immediately turned to Nana.
“Hey Kid! “Where did you get this?!”
“Are you sure it was spread all over the village right now? “I thought it was an interesting article, so I brought one!”
Nana, who was sitting at the table eating, answered with a bright expression.
“Our Papa’s sins have been forgiven! So now we can roam around freely with Papa, right? “That’s right, right?”
Nana, whose expectations were overflowing, opened her eyes brightly.
“It’s not that easy to say! Ugh, my head hurts! “What on earth is Brian doing with you?”
Emily cried, clutching her forehead due to a sudden headache.
-smart
At that time, I heard someone knocking on the door of the house.
“I’ll go out and check it out!”
Instead of Emily, who was startled, Nana rushed to the door.
“wait for a sec! Are you saying you want to open it knowing who it is? “What if he’s a bad person?”
“are you okay! “Because I don’t sense any malice.”
Nana reassured Emily not to worry.
Then he personally unlocked the house and opened the door wide.
“Greetings to Emily and Nana.”
Then, four men and women dressed in neat uniforms saluted Nana.
“Who are you?”
Emily, who followed along, asked cautiously.
“I have received orders from the head of the family and have come to see you two.”
“Da, the head of the family?”
“yes. “The leader of the Xian family asked me to bring you two to his place.”
Nana and Emily’s eyes flashed at the same time.
Xian is the head of the family, what kind of nonsense is this?
Unlike Emily, who was confused because she did not understand the situation,
“then… … . “What about the head of the Silica family?”
Nana’s bright expression suddenly hardened.
* * *
A dark atmosphere with a gloomy and gloomy chill.
It was an atmosphere that Brian always felt, but today the darkness felt even deeper than usual.
Sian stood alone in the dark center, and Brian came next to her.
“Master, I just received a message. “I’m coming here safely with Emily and Nana.”
“… … .”
Xian did not respond.
I already heard everything about what happened to Sian.
In that situation, all Brian could do was to remain silently by his side.
It was unthinkable to offer words of deep consolation.
“Brian.”
Xian, who had been silent for a while, finally called him.
“yes. young master.”
“Do you not understand what is going on?”
Brian hesitated for a moment at the difficult question that was difficult to answer right away.
“W-what are you talking about?”
“You must have been curious as you followed me all this time. How did a guy like me, so young, have such incredible power? How did I end up joining an assassination group called the Mist? And… … .”
Brian swallowed without realizing it.
“Why do you hate so much a person named Eshel, whom you regard as your older brother and successor to the family?”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious.
However, Brian never once asked Sian those questions.
The reason was simple.
“I am a servant and a knight who follows you, Master. That’s why I’ve been serving you so far with the belief that it’s not right to question you! I always trust you… … .”
“Didn’t I tell you once? “There is nothing more dangerous than ignorant trust.”
Brian was wandering in the air, unable to even close his mouth.
“The person I first told the truth to is no longer in this world. That means there is no one anymore who can answer questions about me.”
Xian’s expression was dark but very serious.
“Listen carefully now. “It’s a story I will never tell again no matter where I go.”
Xian’s story continued for about 5 minutes, starting with those first words,
For Brian, the story was far more shocking and tragic than the prophecy of the end of the world.
No one in this world would have experienced this.
This is how the squire feels after learning what kind of tragedy his master suffered in the past.

“Huh, how could that happen?”
Although it is an unbelievable story, if it is assumed to be true, it could explain the abnormal appearance that Xian has been showing so far.
I see.
That’s it.
After learning the truth, Brian’s face was filled with all kinds of negative emotions, and Sian looked at him with indifferent eyes.
“Are your doubts resolved?”
“yes. very well… … .”
“Then I remember it well. “If the moment comes when I disappear from this world, you will have to answer the questions about me to the remaining people instead of me.”
“Master’s words. “I will imprint it on this body!”
Brian knelt down on the spot and pledged to follow Sian for the rest of his life, now and in the future.
“Obahada again…” … .”
Xian made a bitter expression, as if he was inwardly uncomfortable with that sight.
-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-bump
Then, when he sensed someone approaching from the opposite direction, he slowly turned his head.
It was Mia.
After that day, Mia expressed her desire to join Mist in response to Silica’s request to stay by Xian’s side, and Xian readily agreed to this.
In other words, she was now a member of the Mist and had come to meet Xian.
“Were you talking?”
“no. are you okay. “Do you have something to say?”
“I think I found the place where he is.”
Xian’s eyes flashed wide for a moment.
In the current situation, there was only one person that Xian could find.
“Where?”
Mia answered with a dry face as always.
“Belias.”
* * *
“Long time no see. Yulken.”
Beliath, the western border of the empire, outside the front gate.
A man who was too close to the leader of this place to be considered an outsider, and who had been reduced to a felon of the empire to be considered an insider, smiled at the knights.
“Why are you making that look? “You look at me like I shouldn’t be here.”
“You’re not asking because you really don’t know the reason, right? Master Eshel?”
Yulken, who couldn’t hear, asked with a narrowed eyebrow.
“Unfortunately, I really don’t know. “While I was coming to Belias, I heard from time to time that I had become a felon from some empire. Is that why you are so wary of me?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to talk further. I will arrest you right here. Eshel Wert.”
Yulken showed a firm intention to catch him according to the law.
“great. “Then, please allow me to see my father just once.”
“Not allowed.”
“As a child, I have come with the intention of confessing my sins one last time. Please just ask me once. Yulken.”
“The person you should confess your sins to is the Emperor, not the Duke. I won’t listen to anything more than this. To the imperial castle right now… … .”
“Stop.”
The knights all stopped their actions at the majestic sound that caught their attention.
After waiting, Eshel knelt down and bowed to the owner of the voice.
“Eschel Berth, the eldest son of the Duke of Sinbert. “I meet my father with an uneasy heart.”
“Follow me.”
Duke Berthe ignored his son’s greeting indifferently and let him into the border gate.
That’s how we arrived at the Duke’s barracks at the rear camp.
The duke glared at him with overbearing eyes that did not contain any emotion, and Eshel responded with an unyielding, relaxed look.
Soon the Duke took out a thick wad of paper from a desk drawer and threw it in front of Eshel.
“Do you know what that is?”
“I do not know?”
“The corruption you have committed against the imperial family has been written down in detail. “It was sent to me by Princess Violet a few days ago.”
Eshel didn’t bother holding up the paper, as if there was no need to check.
“Also, she confessed to me through letters that she had tried to kill Ellis in the past. Including the fact that you are involved in it. “Is there anything else you can say about this?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Eshel did not make any effort to deny the facts that had already been revealed.
“I had no doubt that you were the one I could give my all to. Moreover, I thought there would be no problem at all in following me to support the family and maintain peace on the continent.”
“… … .”
“But now I wonder why. Because you are the eldest son? Because you have outstanding abilities? “Now I can’t figure out why I was so obsessed with you.”
Eshel just listened in silence to what the duke said without responding.
“My youngest did that to me before. She told me not to trust myself. She just said she would do what she wanted to do.”
The moment the youngest member was mentioned, Eshel’s eyes narrowed.
“You may have come to me seeking help, but I have nothing more to give you. So, please calmly go to the castle, Eshel. “If you still have honor as a member of the Bert family.”
The duke leaned back and lifted his chin as if he had nothing more to say.
Was he at least shocked by his father’s firm response?
Eshel just lowered her head without saying anything.
“You are truly foolish.”
The duke couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.
“What did you say just now?”
“Family, empire, peace. Are you still obsessed with this illusion?”
Eshel let out a bizarre laugh and slowly lifted her lowered head.
“You don’t know why you’re obsessed with me? It has to be that way. Because I made it that way! So that they can put aside all other children and only look at me! “I deceived your father!”
-Sreung
The duke drew his sword with lightning speed and aimed it at Eshel.
“You will have to give a reasonable explanation for what you just said.”
“There is no need for an explanation! This is proof that this world was designed from the beginning for people like me! “It is my power that no one can deny!”
-Peeing!
At that moment, a bright red sparkle flashed in Eshel’s eyes.
The duke, who was captivated by that brilliance, stared at Eshel with blank eyes,
-Sigh
I put the sword I had drawn back into its sheath.
Then, showing a different attitude from before, I asked him.
“What do you want? Eshel?”
Eshel looked triumphant as if everything had gone according to plan.
Then he slowly approached the duke and whispered into his ear.
“Please order all the knights on the front lines.”
What you want.
“Prepare for war against the demon world right now!”
