Chapter 271 – 265 Bijalux, Mining Town
Three days after the castle was cleaned.
Esart, who had been working tirelessly for the past six days to deal with the situation as the acting lord, came with a carriage and politely invited her to the castle.
The reason was that the collapsed lord of Selga came to his senses and the urgent fire was extinguished, so he wanted to repay with gratitude.
While riding in a carriage with her girlfriends, Hwanin suddenly wondered how he would pay for the punishment that the lord said, and asked Esart a question.
“Is your lord okay?”
Aldhelm was mixed up and Staeta was possessed by such a son, and eventually right after the hat was killed by Hwan-in, the lord suffered a great heartache and mental shock and rapidly weakened and lay down.
That’s what happened five days ago. It was around the second day after the purification of Goseong began.
Esart lowered his head with a gloomy expression and replied.
= That is…… Whoa, what would you hide from Hwanin Spirit Master? My father is a man with a special love for his family. Because he lost both his brother and sister when he was young. =
When Lord Selgar was still a child, then Lord Bijalux had lent troops to Kraverie to wage war against a moth-eating corrupt cartel.
At that time, the omnidirectional pressure of the former lord was at a level that could be called pathological, and the cartel pushed forward without giving any room to back down, and the cartel, which had no place to retreat, attacked the lord’s family in a fit of evil, just like the proverbial saying that a rat bites a cat when it is cornered. Did.
Out of the two wives, three sons, and six daughters of the previous lord, only Lord Selga survived.
=… After that, the grandfather who rooted out the cartel took the new grandmother as his wife, and her uncle and aunt were born, but the father’s broken heart was not healed. As a reaction, his heart to care for his family grew stronger, and even though he found out that he was doing such things outside, his heart was weak when the third mother wrapped around him and couldn’t touch him. =
“…….”
=My father came to his senses yesterday. However, his energy is still in a state of decline…….=
“Okay.”
=…… The reason why this situation happened is that you are blaming yourself for being your fault. After all the confusion was sorted out, he handed over his title to me and said he would leave somewhere in the Visarucks Mountains.
“That word…….”
=Yes. She is saying that she will return to nature in a place where no one is. =
The inside of the carriage is so silent that even the sound of breathing cannot be heard.
Esart lowered his head slightly and continued.
= After hearing what my father said, I felt strongly that I was responsible for this situation. If, as the eldest son, he had paid more attention to his family…….=
Hwanin cut off Esart’s words, who pretended to be calm.
“If we take responsibility one by one in this way, the knights and soldiers who failed to stop Aldhelm’s actions, the employees in the castle who pretended not to see it, the family members of those employees, and even the friends and relatives of those families will be left behind. Included. That’s what a guilt-by-association system is.”
Hwanin said in a firm tone to Esart, who opened his eyes wide and shuddered.
“You can say that the lord is the person in charge of the village. And the responsible person is the one who is responsible for what happened below. The meaning that Lord Selga himself will collect his sins and go away means that he will not pass on his sins to you, his son, and entrust his heir to you. It must be what he desires to succeed the lord as his son.”
Otherwise, this is difficult.
I was sure even without hearing the story, but Esart had just killed me with his own mouth.
There are more children born between the former lord and the woman of Crabberry.
Even if it’s not, what if one of them has an evil heart and tries to become the next lord while the contact with Crabberry is deepening? What if that attempt succeeds and Esart steps down and the blood from the Kravery side succeeds the lord of Bijalux?
Hwan-in would be anxious about his back as if he were watching rotten filth leaking out of a broken sewer pipe.
And Hwan-in is a man who would choose to dispose of those things with his own hands rather than looking at them.
“As an outsider, I think it would be prudent for me to say this…….”
= No, no. It can’t be. If it wasn’t for Hwanin Spirit Master, Visalux would have been doomed! Don’t worry, please tell me the opinion of Hwanin Spirit Master.=
“… Yes. Mr. Esart, as his deputy director, believes that he should lead Bijalux in the future on behalf of the lord. There will never be anything like it in the future.”
Esart asks with shaking eyes at the story that makes his heart tremble because it is meaningful.
= That, that word…… ?=
“I think Mr. Esart is aware of the biggest issue in central Radsea, the conflict between Kravery and Farhist. The origins of it…….”
=…… !=
After learning how the incident had gotten there, Esart began to stare at the carriage floor with his stiff face.
The Goseong, which I visited again three days after the purification, was restored to the extent that it was no different from before the Aldhelm Conflict.
The garden, which had been a mess with various furniture and items taken from the inside, was made fresh with green grass as if it had never been, and the first-floor hall and lobby, which had been polluted with dust and footprints, were also cleaned without a single speck of dust.
The second-floor lobby, which had traces of fierce battles, was temporarily blocked off with a curtain, but the rest of the area was restored to its original function.
There is a bit of sadness on their faces, but looking at the neatly dressed employees moving around, it seems that they are not offended by the place where the confusion occurred.
=Your master cleansed it cleanly with waves of tranquility for three days. But if you keep your distance, it’s an act of doubting the master’s skills.=
=It is as the Isilite Soul Knight said. Although the sadness of leaving friends and colleagues remains, the fear of the curse has been dispelled.=
Conversing like that, the party headed for the office of the lord witnessed Lim Se-hee, with black hair neatly tied up, heading somewhere with women dressed in the same maid outfit.
Anne, who cast her eyes on the side where Hwanin gave her gaze, pokes Hwanin’s arm and says,
= Doryeong Doryeong. Isn’t that lady over there, Lim Se-hee?
=…… !=
At Anne’s remark, Esart trembled her shoulders and looked at her, then looked at Anne and her ghost.
Anxiety is shown on the face. ‘Come to think of it, it was an atmosphere that I knew when I was cleaning the castle. What kind of relationship is that?”
=Ah, Master Esart probably didn’t know. Lady Sehee and our Doryeong were from the same hometown.=
=…… !!=
Lim Se-hee was also born in Seoul, and Hwan-in was also born in Seoul, so it is not wrong to say that they are from the same hometown.
Hwan-in, who looked towards the hallway where Lim Se-hee disappeared, smiled and said to Esart who couldn’t hide his angry expression.
“I didn’t expect to meet you in a place like this, but I’m relieved that you seem to be doing well.”
=…….=
=Mr. Esart?=
When Anne calls Esart, who stops her steps and makes a serious face, she suddenly comes to her senses and laughs outrageously enough to be questionable to anyone.
= Yes, four? Ah! Yes. Ahaha. That’s right!Haha! I can’t believe that Hwanin’s soul master’s hometown is the same… I couldn’t even dream of it. Yephaha.=
Shaking eyes, a stiffly standing tail as if it had exploded, and ears that twitched like emotional instability.
It must be because he knew that Aldhelm sexually harassed Lim Se-hee and even used violence.
It is not good from a macro perspective to put pressure on the government by revealing such a meaning.
Above all, Lim Se-hee was not a person who recklessly vomited resentments.
Aldhelm did harm, but it was also true that she saved her life on the contrary, and she did not forget the grace of the castle’s knights, maids, and servants who took care of her, so she decided to stay in the village.
Anyway, anyone can see the attitude of ‘I was embarrassed because there were so many stabs’, but the party continued the conversation in a casual manner.
=Come to think of it, the technology that Aldhelm invented was a relatively well-known expertise in her hometown?=
=…… Yes? Now, hold on. What do you mean?=
= Huh? Didn’t you know that too? Load distribution structure, cement, road paving method, all technology used in Doryeong’s hometown…….=
“Anne.”
When Hwanin raises his finger to signal to be quiet, um, he shuts his mouth and sneaks away. But it’s not hard for Anne to guess what she hasn’t said yet.
The muscles in Esart’s fur-covered face twitched, then she struggled to regain her composure.
=I’m sorry. After calculating her reward she should have received, I will make sure she gets it as quickly as possible! =
“I guess you don’t have to. She didn’t invent the technology, she just spread what was known.”
=…… Me, over there In the hometown of Hwanin Spirit Master… Is such technology easily accessible?=
“No. She is also very professional…… For example, she is from an advanced academy in the capital city. That’s why she has such expert knowledge.”
Since he is a person who has received a high level of education in that field, if he prepares the foundation to demonstrate his qualities, he will be able to create technology that will be useful to Bijalux. .
A person from the hometown of a high-ranking spiritist. There are people with a high level of education.
A leader like Esart would never neglect Lim Se-hee.
‘Looking at his expression, if things go well, I can see the possibility of getting her as my wife.’
He is from the same hometown as the Master of Spirits. If the fact that such a person was sexually harassed by a family member is known, it will be saturated with political issues that are incomparable to the mixed situation.
The way to overcome this situation is to compensate for what happened to her, but if that’s a reward…….
The wife of the next lord.
‘That’s for Lim Se-hee to decide.’
Thinking that he had done his job, Hwanin awoke the spirit of Esart, who was still at a standstill, and headed to the lord’s office.
