Chapter 144
“Hmm…”
The blonde haired girl bobbed her head and her body was tilted ·
Her eyes were half closed as if she was drowsy and her face looked like she was about to fall asleep at any moment.
I wondered if it was because of her large meal that she was feeling tired or if she was just naturally good at napping but looking at the girl’s hazy eyes it seemed like neither of those two things had anything to do with it.
dump·
Just before the girl crawled over and fell next to her her waiting maids carried her away holding her in their careful hands.
“Hmmnya…”
[Arin I’m so embarrassed by you…]
It was a girl who was drooling and sleeping and her ghost girl covered her face with her hands saying she wanted to hide in her mouse hole ·
Just like that the girl left and Lee Han narrowed her eyes at the pitiful sleeping pretty girl even drooling on her.
I was wondering why he suddenly looked like he had narcolepsy…
And soon…
“···What did you do?”
She doubted what she ate ·
Then as if there was no need to hide her peacock…
“I just gave you a little medicine. There’s no need to worry. It’s like a herb that will energize your body if you eat it and get a good night’s sleep.”
“···Hmm don’t you think there’s something wrong with the part about giving her medicine?”
“I can’t help it… I don’t want that kid to hear the conversation…”
“For your information did I also eat that herb?”
“You ate too much. I didn’t expect you to eat a whole cake but you looked fine.”
“··· There must have been a reason why you didn’t even touch her mouth.”
For reference Lee Han ate about 10 servings of dessert.
I thought she might have diabetes but after taking the elixir Lee Han’s organs including her heart and liver became abnormally strong.
No matter how much sugar he ate he would never develop diabetes and since he had this level of detoxification ability whether medicinal or poisonous plants were no different from herbs to him.
I don’t know if obesity can occur…
“Don’t misunderstand I didn’t really intend to harm you so I just wanted to be helpful to a knight with strong vitality.”
“Is it expensive?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just one of the ten herbs that give eternal life that the sultan likes to eat.”
“···He goes on at length about saying that even if you have money you can’t live.”
“Did it sound like that?”
I was already aware that I had been treated lavishly but I felt even more burdened…
But for now let go of the burden…
because·
‘Because I’m the boss!’
Lee Han decided to act confidently.
The other person wants something from you and is treating you well to get it.
So there is no need to be discouraged…
···It would be correct to not have one···
“I’m going to tell you something I can’t tell my foster daughter. That’s why I let her sleep on purpose so I want you to keep it a secret.”
“…If that’s the case I don’t want to hear it…”
“No you have to listen because then you will hand over that interrogator girl.”
“····”
hmm····
‘Is this Eul?’
No matter how he looked at it Lee Han felt like he was not the best and sweatdropped.
* * *
“-You probably already know that my wife is ‘deceased’…”
“····”
“If you know conversation will be easy…”
“Keuhum…”
The level of conversation was quite intense from the beginning.
what? Are you doing this to make me feel sick from what I ate earlier?
It’s a shame because I have good digestion. Otherwise a topic that would have made me feel sick came up and I didn’t want to hear any more but Duke Blake…
“Then do you know this too? “There are many things that are unclear about my wife’s death.”
“···That’s fine…”
“Then you should know now that my wife was a fairy… and not a common fairy but a humanized fairy from the natural world…”
“Is it really that big?”
“It’s a rare case…”
Although Lee Han is not aware of this fairies in the natural world are similar to spirits and are equivalent to the gods of the land.
As such fairies in the natural world were once worshiped as gods and even in today’s era where religion is prevalent they are still worshiped as gods in some regions.
In particular since the fairies were deeply involved in the founding of the Pendragon nation the authority the fairies had in the southern continent was considerable.
Therefore it is no exaggeration to say that Duke Blake who married such a fairy was a great person and that such a fairy’s death was also a great historical tragedy.
“Fairies have been easy targets since ancient times. There are still many mysteries about fairies that have not been revealed and there are still plenty of kings and powerful people who want to uncover the mysteries of fairies and gain eternal life or the mysteries. Right now some wizards are looking for fairies. “He even targeted my wife for the purpose of research…”
“···What happened to that spellcaster or wizard?”
“I’m living in the duke’s torture chamber. My life force is quite persistent.”
“····”
“If I were to continue there were many things that were unclear about my wife’s death.”
“I heard she died in an accident?”
“Yes but… Do you think it makes sense for the duke’s mistress to die in an ‘accident’?”
“····”
“How many people are there guarding her and the personnel guarding her were the elite of the elite personally selected by me…”
“····”
···Lee Han somehow predicted his next words·
‘The fact that he died in such a place means that murder is suspected…’
It seems that there is a different backstory from what is known to the public.
Sure enough…
“As you may have guessed my wife was harmed by some suspicious people who neutralized all of her guards and killed her.”
Quang!
“····”
For a moment the anger he was emitting seemed to explode…
Kugugoogung!
Tangible momentum·
It was a state of high difficulty that materialized the spirit of life and fighting spirit that only knights who had reached a certain level could show.
Depending on how you use that energy it is more useful than sword ringing and also has the greatest destructive power.
However the momentum the Duke is giving off now…
‘I just used force and the marble shattered?’
under····
It was a different level from what other knights had reached.
If what the other guys are spewing out is at best gunpowder what that guy is spewing out is nitroglycerin…
Even if the force touches it it stings and even burns.
It’s almost like a laugh…
‘I already guessed it…’
This man was ridiculously strong…
It suddenly occurred to me that being the best swordsman in the kingdom wasn’t just an illusion and that he might even be on par with an Auror user…
And such a strong man still has not lost his momentum…
“We don’t know how many people participated in her death but it was possible to single out those who killed her.”
– Mobilizing all the power of Galahad!
It couldn’t be anything other than a creepy afterword…
This means that a group with more power than the royal family was mobilized to find out information.
“And we were finally able to narrow down her killers.”
Percussion·
“····”
“It was a group that called themselves [Angels].”
“···Hmm·”
What the duke presented was a cross covered in blood.
It was not just a cross but an extremely disturbing inverted cross and Lee Han already knew about the existence of the inverted cross.
“The knight who destroyed the tunnel would naturally know about these fanatics right?”
“···How much do you know?”
“It would be quicker to ask what you don’t know.”
“····”
Blood Crusade·
A group that is believed to have summoned the Ghost King the day before and is also believed to be related to the assassin organization Black Moon which occupied the tunnel and kidnapped him as a child.
However upon learning that this group had even harmed the duke’s wife Lee Han closed his eyes tightly.
‘···Ropan is Ropan…’
One of the promise-like contents of romantic fantasy is this.
There is an organization that directly targets and assassinates the beloved wife of a duke grand duke or emperor.
And most of those organizations…
‘There are many cases where church powers and imperial elders are in the dark…’
It was like a set cliché and Lee Han couldn’t help but wonder if that cliché also worked in this world…
···And if·
‘If you follow the cliche sequence…’
It’s scary to expect that one of the stuffy clichés of romance fantasy also known as ‘sweet potato’ will come out of the duke’s mouth…
“Do you know what my foster daughter Irene Windler and the temple’s inquisitor Judea Pierre have in common?”
“···What is it·”
“It is none other than the ‘trace of a fairy’…”
“····”
···Doubts about her own daughter··
One of the worst romantic clichés came out and Lee Han felt uncomfortable even though he had already fully digested the food.
However whether Lee Han wanted cider or not the duke still insisted.
“In Irene Windler her ‘nature’s affinity’ is visible and in Judea Pierre ‘God’s love’ is felt. They are all the constitution of a fairy.”
“…Are you talking about magic and divine power?”
“You have good sense…”
“Does that… make sense?”
The affinity of nature probably means having a double attribute and the love of God seems to refer to divine power…
No matter how you look at it it cannot be anything other than a delusion of grandeur or an excessive interpretation.
Although Irene Windler’s talent is special it is a talent that appears occasionally and in the case of divine power it is a power that anyone can have as long as they believe in God.
So to Lee Han it seems like he is just delusional but the duke…
“However it is rare for a ‘woman’ of the same age to appear in one era with such talent.”
“····”
I spit out endless doubts…
“Is that all she is? Irene Windler said that when she was a teenager at the orphanage her personality suddenly changed. She was originally arrogant but she suddenly became docile and took good care of the orphanage children. She doesn’t·”
“…I guess I came to my senses late…”
“That might be possible… Then how about this? It is said that Judea Pierre was just an ordinary vagabond but was saved by Cardinal Raphael who took pity on her and entered the temple. Afterwards she rose to prominence and even became an inquisitor. However despite her accomplishments it is said that she lied about her age and gender. …Does this really seem like a coincidence?”
“hmm····”
“It’s as if they are trying to hide something.”
“····”
···The duke’s suspicions seemed reasonable at first glance··
Women of the same age suddenly appeared after her wife died.
Her age is 19 the same number of years her wife died.
In addition she appears to have the talent of a fairy and has extraordinary talent and outstanding beauty…!
It would be foolish not to doubt the truth…
“That’s why I want her… Judea Pierre… That woman was very suspicious and after investigating I found out that she had ties to this group of fanatics. All that’s left is to ask her directly… No matter what just answer. “If you give it to me I don’t plan on treating her harshly so I want you to hand her over.”
“····”
“It wouldn’t be a bad offer… I’ll give you enough examples if you want…”
“-Now I see that it wasn’t just my eyes that turned.”
“···?”
···In an instant the entire surrounding area became rigid·
Should I say that it felt like the air had stopped?
[[·······]]
Have you ever experienced the intense eyes of over a hundred people focusing on you?
If you don’t have it you’re lucky…
Because it is at a level that will remain as a trauma…
However Lee Han…
“Ah just thinking about it came out of her mouth…”
It was just going out shamelessly or shamelessly.
And now that the situation has become auspicious…
“Hey man. Drink cold water and come to your senses. Don’t do anything strange at your age.”
“····”
“I was wondering what else to say…”
“···her?”
I decided to go further…
To let this frustrated man know what factual violence is…
