35. At the foundation festival (6)
“It was a failure to be treated lightly as a maid. How do you feel about being betrayed?”
Despite Levi’s words and attitude that caught Levi off guard, Leah didn’t blink an eye.
She just smiled and bowed her head slightly.
Like a light apology.
Because of that, her sword was pressed against her neck, and rather, the strength Levi gave to her hand was released.
“I just have less to say. Sorry. Young master.”
Lea was very calm.
This is about it.
She could afford it.
There is no way Levi would kill himself right here in the first place.
If she does, she must deal with Elijah immediately.
This exaggerated behavior is just a threat.
Show off that she can kill herself whenever she wants.
Lewi wouldn’t even worry about being caught by Elijah in the first place.
He doesn’t think he’ll say anything, and he’s the kind of person who thinks that there’s nothing he can’t prove.
It doesn’t matter if you really tried to kill him.
Her mindset to handle it ended a long time ago.
For some reason, Judas came to mind.
He is confident even in the face of death.
No, he is rather a child who becomes more active in the face of death.
… Elijah’s man, no longer a child.
It’s a little different, but it’s similar to you.
He stood by Elijah’s side, determined that if he had to die, he would die.
“Umm. Yes, do you mean that?”
Lewi stepped back, putting away the dagger.
“I came because I wanted to confirm the authenticity and give you a chance. Maybe this is your last chance. As you know, the atmosphere these days is unusual in many ways.”
Lewi’s goal is also known to Leah.
He is a genius wizard who must have held a grudge against the Bevel family. Elijah.
To prepare for that.
The same goes for the other siblings.
I tried to contain it in the past, but now it has gone beyond the level of containment.
Elijah’s prestige grew too much.
Cain chose to increase his own strength and size, but Levi seems to be different.
“What do you want from me?”
“I’m more curious about what you can do for me. More than that, I wonder if he has the heart to do it.”
From noble mtl dot com
“I am very sorry for the misunderstanding of the current situation.”
Lea thought.
What Levi wants.
‘Elijah’s weakening.’
Lia doesn’t know what kind of judgment he made through the confrontation between the SS today.
However, even if he is 13, he will not take Elijah’s side.
The children who were greatly influenced by Narsisi hated Elijah as much as the Duchess.
Wealth, honor, etc. That they should enjoy.
I think some of those things were taken away from Elijah.
Inheriting the power of fire was worth it.
The person in question had no intention of doing so.
It was entirely the fault of the members of the Bebel family that I came up with that feeling now.
Leah decided to leave them with her final lie.
Even if it’s just one Levi, that’s enough.
Lewi probably won’t fully believe this, but it doesn’t matter.
He has almost completed his role.
Lewi or another brother who noticed the betrayal might try to kill him.
Lea decided to use him.
She said it would be better for Elijah if the truth she had hidden would never be revealed.
“You may find it hard to believe, but I have a story you might like.”
“I know it’s hard to believe. Okay, let’s talk about it.”
“You must have heard about the lady’s escort knight.”
“I can’t help but not know.”
“That Judas is a very special and precious person to you.”
“… What?”
Lewi twisted only one eyebrow.
He was bewildered now.
On the other hand, Lia’s expression does not waver.
“… Could it be that the rumors circulating like cheap romance novels were true? Is that Elijah?”
“At least that’s how it seems to me.”
“Say it…. If you tell me that this is useful information for me, that escort driver doesn’t seem interested in that, right?”
Lea just laughed.
As if she gave enough information.
Lewi is good at dealing with people.
Even if he visits empty-handed, he can attract anyone to his side.
Innate ability to observe and psychological warfare. Narration.
No one can stand it.
But Leah knows.
The nemesis of such a cunning and intelligent person is simply an ignorant person without thinking.
The face of Levi, who will face the confidence that Judah has no basis for, is drawn in a good way.
“Yudara….”
Lewi made a quick decision.
A confrontation between the SS.
Among them, Judas showed an overwhelming figure.
Moreover, Elijah’s expression as she smiled at him was not her own illusion.
If you attract him in many ways, he will give himself an advantage.
On the contrary, Elijah is at a disadvantage.
‘Don’t believe this.’
Lea has cleverly tricked Bevel countless times.
It’s hard to believe.
But it’s worth checking out.
‘Just meeting briefly, it’s not that difficult.’
It’s good if it’s true, and even if it’s false, it’s not much damage.
“If this is a lie, then it won’t be the same as before.”
Despite her threat, Leah just smiled and bowed her head.
Lewi was unfamiliar with her for a moment.
There aren’t many people whose expression doesn’t change even when a knife is thrust into her throat.
‘What is the identity… ?’
Suspicion rose one by one in the appearance of Lia, whom she had known so far, but she did not have the strength to confirm the suspicion now.
Looking at Lia, who just smiled despite being threatened with her life, Levi felt uncomfortable but first withdrew.
She was rather what Lia wanted.
She herself will disappear with her truth.
If her direct children, including Levi, killed herself, that would be Elijah’s justification.
Death is the only gain.
“I hope you have good results.”

“Would Levi’s brother be nice to you?”
She asked Sara, looking anxious.
She wanted to rescue Narsisi as soon as possible.
How painful.
Narsisi participated in several trials as a witness.
She showed a terrible look every time.
As the expression suggests, her skin and bones were in contact with each other.
The self-confident look he used to have is nowhere to be found.
“Don’t worry. If it’s Levi’s older brother, what can he do?”
“But, Cain and Levi weren’t very active in bringing Young’s mother….”
“That…. I did, but…. Maybe you want to be careful?”
The two continued to exchange opinions as if they were uneasy even after leaving it to Levi.
A man approached the two of them.
“Hello.”
A benevolent smile unique to religious people.
The white clothes were dazzling.
It was a face Achan and Sara knew well.
“Grace be with you.”
The Pope of the Moonshin Church.
It was Nadab.
“You seem to have a lot of worries. Will you allow me to be helpful?”
The Pope, who took over the role and work of Angra, smiled warmly.

While Judas was washing and changing his clothes, someone knocked on the door.
“Who….”
I opened it and saw a man standing there.
Blonde, sad impression.
The second son of Bebel.
It was Levi di Bebel.
Lewi smiled benevolently at Judas.
“Isn’t this the first time you’ve met this close?”
“What are you doing?”
The reaction of Judas who returned was somewhat harsh.
Her eyes looked up and down openly.
The attitude of checking who has brought more people around.
More than rude, he’s cocky.
Levi shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
“Aren’t you being too vigilant? I remember that there was nothing to be so hated about. Even that confrontation during the day wasn’t mixed with personal feelings.”
Well. Judas found it difficult to agree.
Even if there is no personal story, it is Elijah’s enemy after all.
“So what are you doing?”
“It’s a long story.”
Lewi glanced alternately between Judah’s room and the hallway.
“Are you going to leave the customer outside to talk?”
“Hmm….”
Judas frowned slightly between her brows.
It’s annoying, but I couldn’t kick him out.
Because you are a noble by name.
“What are you doing?”
Lewi entered the room, bewildered.
He didn’t show it, but he was embarrassed inside.
‘What is it, you bastard… ?’
It was the first time in my life that I had been so rude.
Sometimes there were people like this among those who didn’t know who they were.
Even they were busy apologizing after finding out who they were.
But, the rock-like guy in front of me is like this even after knowing it from the beginning.
There has never been a person like this before.
A person of a kind that is not in his experience or information.
As much as he is good at information warfare, Levi is weak against opponents who cannot respond within his intelligence.
‘Even after this… Will it… ?’
Rather, he had the questions that the other party should have.
When Levi entered, Judah locked the door.
Clap.
That sound chilled Levi’s heart.
There are only two of them in this room, Judas and himself.
Lewi didn’t have the confidence to defeat the big ogre, who seemed like he could beat that ogre with his bare hands.
I purposely left an escort knight to let the opponent’s guard down, but that turned out to be a defeat.
“You don’t want to drink tea from a sweaty guy.”
“… ….”
“How would you like me to serve you a glass of water?”
“Oh, no. Ok, that’s….”
Lewi stuttered without realizing it.
How can I coax someone like this?
Judas sat down on her couch and pointed in front of her with her chin.
Inwardly, he laughed at Levi.
‘He’s one step below Elijah.’
If it were Elijah, he wouldn’t have given up the initiative even in this situation.
As expected, there is no one who is only Elijah.
He decided to press the start at this point.
He took the pupil of the moon that he had put on hold and started wiping it with a dry cloth.
The complexion of Levi, who was sitting across from him, hardened to the point of seeing.
“Because I have been busy lately, I haven’t been able to mend my sword. Please understand.”
“… ….”
Judah said while gently grooming the ink sword.
He was expressing with his entire body that he didn’t like the other person.
“Because the master has begged me to trust him, saying that it is the second life of the Black Knight.”
Master.
Lewi quickly grasped the word and its background.
I know about the relationship between Judas and Gawain.
And Gawain once lived with Bebel’s family.
There is a common denominator between the two.
An approach using acquaintances tends to work easily with any target.
Lewi decided to take advantage of that.
“Ah. Did you train under Sir Gawain?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a good article. He was a famous person even when he was living in his hometown. He has a great teacher.”
“Yes, what.”
“… ….”
Contrary to Levi’s expectations, Judah was not interested in his words, let alone liked them.
He was rather fed up.
Something like absurdity or personal connections using blood, school ties, regional ties, etc.
His plain and indifferent expression reminded him a little of Elijah.
He didn’t realize it himself.
“So, what are you here to talk about?”
Seeing his determined demeanor, Levi was convinced that something was wrong.
However, since he came this far, he couldn’t back down.
Even if you’re like a courtesan who doesn’t obey authority, it will be hard to refuse your offer.
Anyway, Judas was only a contractual relationship with Elijah.
On the other hand, Elijah says no.
So separating Judas from Elijah will be more effective than any other method.
After calming his heart, Levi began to speak in the liquidation flow.
*
After Elijah washed up and changed into her nightgown, she left her head behind Leah.
At that time, a sound came from outside the door.
The sound of footsteps.
The sound of a door opening.
A conversation over a closed space. It buzzes.
Then the door closes again.
The two enter the room.
Someone came to Judas’ room.
And now, the two of us are in the same room.
“… ….”
Elijah looked down at her ring.
The ring finger of the right hand. Ivory ring.
She wanted to summon him right away.
I felt awkward for some reason.
The princess’ marriage proposal I heard during the day still lingers in my ears.
The figure of Judas who firmly refused at that time.
In that room, who is Judas with?
What should he do?
