Now Marco had wholly lost the Head’s favor. Overjoyed, Carola took Jacob’s hand.
“You know, Jacob. I think Marco will never be able to make a coback. But I’d love to add one more shock to hamr in one more nail into the coffin… … .”
Carola coyly bead.
“Wouldn’t rha be curious about Marco’s safety?”
“Ah, yes. Of course. After all, Carola, you are a genius.”
Jacob understood her words and grinned.
“Isn’t Mimosa very talented in copying other people’s handwriting?”

That’s how Marco ca to be hated by Gaju. Additionally, rha had also earned the disdain of the Head. Under his orders, Marco was sent to a distant province. There was only one reason why Gaju saved Marco.
It was because he didn’t want to make Jacob the obvious successor right now. Because he was afraid of the Lord, Jacob couldn’t get rid of Marco either.
‘Arien, I’m sorry. I’m so terribly sorry. Forgive for being unsightly… … .’
Marco received a note from rha just before leaving.
[Marco, co see . Your father worries about you. I was told of Arien’s death. My poor son… … .
I’ve taken asures, so if you bribe the jailer, you’ll be able to co in.]
Marco felt like he was going to cry.
‘Yes, I had a father. Fathers will naturally guide … … . Ah, you must be saddened by Arien’s death. I’m sorry. Arien… … .’
Marco mustered up the courage to go see rha. After he forked over a large sum of money, the guards of the Heretic Inquisition Departnt sohow let Marco in.
However, the atmosphere inside the prison was peculiar.
“You… … . what’s going on?”
“Ah, there has just been an incident.”
“… … What?”
The story was simple. It is said that a fight broke out between Gunner and rha, who were neighbors. Gunner had been briefly released, about to be transferred to another prison. At that ti, rha attacked him, hit his head, and tried to kill him.
People went inside the prison to rescue the collapsed man. At that ti, Gunner and rha shook off people’s hands and before they could be stopped, a brawl broke out between them. Gunner was pushed by rha and ended up in critical condition.
“Father?”
Marco found him, and he looked at Marco with bloodshot eyes.
“Marco, you’re finally here. You idiot!! Loser! You didn’t take advantage of the evil god’s poison when I even gave you the hint.”
“… … .”
“But at least one thing went well. Arien’s family is useless. You get a new woman with a family that will help you and start over. It’s a pity that Arien died. Doesn’t the head of the household think badly of divorce?”
“… … father.”
Marco, who was deeply remorseful due to Arien’s death, was greatly shocked by his words.
Shocked, Marco staggered with one hand covering his face and was startled. Gunner’s blood was still on the bars.
‘Didn’t my father always do this? Beating the priests under his command, beating … … .’
Marco hesitated and backed away, faltering.
“Father, don’t you care about Arien’s death?”
“The jailer told off that you killed Arien. You did well, Marco.”
rha couldn’t afford to notice Marco’s feelings. Last night, the Head sent people to receive Gunner. The reason why Gunner was moved to another prison.
Although Gunner is a collateral, he was a direct Cartier. Gaju had no intention of saving him, and rha’s forbearance exploded when he saw Gunner, previously in the prison cell next to him, pass him by. Besides, Lucerne’s treatnt of rha was terrible.
“… … Father always—! You treated as a tool. Poor Arien. Ah– I’m sorry… … . Arien… … .”
“Marco! Marco!”
Marco, stumbling, turned and ran out of the dungeon. He departed for the provincial estate rather crippled.
No one bothered worrying or asking about his whereabouts. Except for rha, who was imprisoned in the dungeon. However, since no one listened to rha and he had no power, it was as if no one was there.
