Chapter 295
TL: Zimmings
I don’t know what PvP ans, but I speculated that it must be a wicked and terrible word.
Otherwise, the Duke of Grimoire’s aura couldn’t be that cold.
He took a bundle of parchnt out of his arms. These are the letters I sent because the patterns on the corners of the parchnt are very familiar.
“You were pretty arrogant.”
I lowered my head casually.
“Nice to et you, duke.”
“… Do you think I’m soone who doesn’t even know the basic manners of greeting?”
“No way. I’ve heard a lot about the duke. It’s an honor to et soone I admire.”
“… But you acted unlike what I heard?”
“That’s not true. I know that the duke is a benevolent person who closes his eyes to ignorant mistakes.”
“… Did your age regenerate?
On the surface, I laughed, but on the inside I was very annoyed.
‘I can’t communicate!’
He’s also sarcastic with letters and communication. Now, no matter what I say, it will be replied sarcastically.
The Duke of Grimoire bowed his head lightly and smiled.
“You’re a really ferocious kid.”
He was indeed a wild beast that hadn’t been at the empire for decades. There was a creepy feeling of intimidation even in his shortest words.
Seria, who had been hiding in Dubblede to catch traffickers of her orphanage, called the guards in a hurry.
“So why did you co to see ? I’m sure you didn’t co to catch just to reply to sarcastically.”
“Are you saying that I was sarcastic?”
“I think it’s a little too much for an adult. I’m sorry-”
“I can see clearly how your father has taught you.”
I groaned and licked my lips.
That’s the number one thing people say to children.
[How did your parents teach you?]
I can hear a sound in my head. It was a sign of switching to attacks.
I clapped my hands and smiled brightly.
“Yes, my father’s theory is, ‘Return as much as you have received,’ and I am a good daughter who faithfully follows my father’s instructions! I would do it even until my hair turns gray.”
How well does Grimoire teach his bloodlines when he sends a childish letter like ‘You’re joking?’ anyway?
“I guess so. If it was , I would give my child peace and affection.”
Having been in the wild like Dubblede, he also has a temper like .
“You have a great family! I’d be really happy if I were your child, no, niece.”
A fight like the one above continued.
The lieutenant who accompanied the Duke of Grimoire said, “S- sir.” and did not know what to do, while Seria and the chairman also said, “Lady….”
Duke Grimoire, who was angry, clenched his teeth.
“You say sothing you don’t know about.”
“Oh my. I’m sorry.
“I don’t intend to engage in any more talk with you, who haven’t even reach half of my age.”
“That’s great. So, what are you doing?”
“Follow .”
“Isn’t ‘don’t follow strangers’ the first thing mothers teach their children?”
“Tell your mother that I’m not anyone.”
At that mont, the surrounding beca quiet.
People were looking at . This was because there was no one in this empire who didn’t know I was an orphan.
In fact, I found my biological parents, but my mother died. As a result, Seria and the chairman’s expression also hardened.
Seria, who couldn’t stand it, stepped up.
“What are you talking about-!”
“Stop.”
“But, my lady…”
“Stop it.”
I stared at the Duke of Grimoire. The duke was narrowing his forehead as if he had only rembered my situation.
“I will deliver it to her when I et my mother in this world, duke.”
“…….”
“It’s not like we’re going to have more conversations, is it? Bye.”
I turned my back imdiately. Seria, who was staring at Duke Grimoire, quickly chased , and the chairman bowed his head after staring at the duke for a while.
***
Returning to the mansion, I chatted for a long ti. Staring at the parchnt that Duke Grimoire sent …… I muttered and roughly put it in a drawer.
“He’s such a terrible person. How can he say that to a girl known as an orphan?”
Seria also slandered the Duke of Grimoire.
The chairman, who was staring at , opened his mouth.
“It didn’t seem to have been intentional.”
“Huh?”
“I think he was too into it to say the wrong thing.”
“He’s so into it that he also say tons of nonsense?”
The sarcasm wasn’t all in vain. When I crossed my arms and said, the chairman narrowed his eyes.
“Maybe sothing had happened.”
“Sothing had happened…?”
It’s strange that Duke Grimoire ca to in the first place.
He seed a little offended by the letters exchanged with , but he wouldn’t visit just because of it.
“I have a business, and it’s sothing that will excite the Duke of Grimoire?”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Well, he’s unlike himself…”
“If people knew what the duchess ant to you, maybe they would say that.”
The brave mother who died behind my back to protect was both my pride and my weakness.
I said, pressing my temple.
“Where’s the Duke of Grimoire? At his mansion?
“It won’t be a good choice to visit in person.”
“I guess so… it’s already like thin ice between the temple and Dubblede, but if I go to the Duke of Grimoire, they’ll think I’m preparing for war.”
“In a way, it might have been a good thing that we had a big fight in the shopping district. We fought so much with the head of the family that owns the tower, so they don’t know that I’m preparing for war.”
“Yes, but I hope I know what the Duke of Grimoire is doing soon.….”
I let out a sigh.
However, contrary to my worries, I learned the reason why Duke Grimoire acted like that the very next day.
Viscount Dubos, the head of Amjo*, rushed to the mansion without contacting in advance.
*TL/N: Dubblede’s intelligence agency
“Karim Grimoire is gone!”
Karim Grimoire.
The predecessor of Grimoire disappeared.
***
With the help of the imperial palace, Duke Grimoire searched throughout the empire, but Karim Grimoire could not be seen for more than five days.
I looked out the window at the streets where the Grimoire soldiers road.
The chairman told what he received from Amjo.
“It was a week ago that Karim Grimoire disappeared.”
“The duke ca to on the second day after his father disappeared.”
“Karim Grimoire was often absent for a day or two. But since he hasn’t revealed his location for more than two days, it seems that Grimoire, feeling suspicious, has co to visit you.”
“He was wondering if I knew sothing because of the letter I sent him.”
Two days passed, and even on the third day, a search order was issued because traces of him could not be seen.
While tapping on the window fra, I looked back at the chairman.
“Is it the temple?”
“I don’t know.”
“Should I check with Mina?”
“It’s been two days since she lost consciousness, so how can she answer?”
“That’s right…”
Mina could not close the ‘passage’ after summoning Amy. She lacked her divine power to keep the devil without etwal, and she lost consciousness two days ago.
Since she is a precious hostage, I supplent her divine power enough to survive through mana stone.
“How about waking her up?”
“She will, if she recovers more than 30% of her divine power.”
That was sothing I personally realized with frequent fainting.
‘There is no mana stone enough to restore Mina’s divine power by more than 30 percent.’
Even now, an astronomical amount of mana stone is being used to save Mina’s life.
I could ask Adrian to supplent the divine power, but he gave a trendous amount of divine power the other day, and I exhausted most of my divine power due to Mina’s kidnapping.
“I’m still short of divine power, and I can’t share it.”
“Hmm…”
Chul-soo used to refer to this as a “bottomless poison.”
The chairman poured tea into the teacup and said,
“What do you think about returning etwal?”
“It’ll be easier to maintain Amy, so you can wake her up…”
“Never.”
We looked at each other and laughed as if it was ridiculous.
‘Then what should I do?’
If I find the predecessor of Grimoire, I might be able to figure out what he was talking about with Mina.
If I’m lucky, I might be able to get Grimoire’s help in this war.
It was the mont I was contemplating.
The communication device glistened and Seria’s voice was heard.
[There are people who expressed their intention to buy blue spinel.]
“That’s a relief! Iit’s a huge amount of money, so I was wondering if it would sell.”
[Before selling, they want to check the utility of the blue spinel. They need to recharge divine power on the empty spinel. What should I do?]
“Yes, I’ll go.”
I quickly picked up my coat.
