129 Ep.42. Taichung Marius (2)

a mansion in central Hufester

"... ...after four days, is that all you say is that you do? Missed Dan, why exposed his face and name to an unidentified horseman?"

Veris and Kuzan bowed their heads.

They were barely returning from Delky's pursuit. Veris still had the aftermath of the backlash, and Kuzan had not healed his wounds.

"I have no face, Mr. Taichung."

with a grain of course.

Taichuan gazing down at them, gritting his teeth.

It's a short time, but as if she's thinking about something, her face is full of dark shade.

"You stupid things... I don't want to see you, so get the hell out of here. I will never again give you orders."

Two people's pupils dilated.

"I can't believe we'll never be given orders again.…?”

"It's literally. You've made such a big mistake."

"Ta, Mr. Taichung. Do you mean you're going to throw it away?"

"Mr. Taichung! I'm sorry, please forgive me just once!"

Kuzan's voice trembled, and Verris immediately fell down in tears and began to beg. Just as a child begs his parents.

"Forgiveness? A hunting dog that failed to hunt... How dare you ask your master to do that?"

"Mr. Taichung, Mr. Taichung, Mr. Taimeu. It's really my fault. I'll never make a mistake again, please. Please don't abandon us."

Soon, Veris continued to weep, holding onto the skirt of Taichung.

Puck, puck!

But Taichung, indifferently, kicked her in the face, and even Kuzan knelt down and showed tears.

"How can we live without you! You can hit more, and tortured to death I'd be ever so severely ... Please don't throw it away. Please...….”

The cruelty of killing the Moon's victims went nowhere, and Verris rubbed his hands almost senselessly.

"Really? If you're willing to take anything sweet, you die. I'll kill you right away."

Sreung!

Even if Taichung pulled out the sword, Berry had no intention of avoiding it, and he just sobbed with her eyes closed.

And the moment Tai Gyun wielded his sword, Kuzan embraced Veris.

Taichung looks down at the two men, stopping the sword from the neck of Kuzan.

"... ...Mr. Taichung. No, Mother."

Kuzan, who slowly rose up, looked straight at Taichung.

"Please... keep up the good work."

"Don't ever look for me again, never."

Kuzan backed away with a confused berry. The relationship between the two, Veris and Kuzan, was until today.

Looking at the back of their way out, Taichung kicked his tongue.

"The Magistrate who they saw is obviously Master Chin. I'm sure he used his spirit. Sooner or later, Lady Luna and Master Jean will visit me. It would have been a disaster if I hadn't heard from him about the power of the defeated master.’

At the moment Luna's face went blank.

Taichung Marius, the face of a lady once her dream.

'You can't kill me anyway. And you know something new. You're saying that Master Jean is not only a contractor for Soldierlet, but also has magical powers? This is more than he doesn't even know.…!’

Taichung smiled gently.

I don't think the hounds were very useless.

* * *

"Yes, yes. Is there anything uncomfortable these days?"

"Yes, thanks to Lord Luna's attention, it's perfect. They've all found jobs, and finally, our Colons are living like humans."

Luna, who returned to the territory after a long time, had tea time with Tikawa.

"That's a relief. Huh?"

"What's wrong, Lord Luna?"

Suddenly Luna looked around with a startled look, and Tika put down the teacup and followed her gaze.

"Suddenly I can feel the energy of the youngest, what is it? This is my land. Did you feel wrong?"

"Do you feel that?"

"He's got a weird vibe. I know I'm sensitive, but... Oh, what's that? You didn't feel it wrong, did you?”

Outside the window stood Jean, wearing a robe, at the spot pointed by Luna. Although disguised, it was not enough to visit Luna's territory in broad daylight.

Perhaps that is why Jean was not able to reach the gatekeepers, and was just wandering around the fence.

"That fearless fellow, now he's coming straight to you. What if the other brothers knew, a backup jockey!"

He grumbled, but Luna was already running on the stairs with glistening eyes.

"Hey!"

Luna, who jumped over the fence at one step, hit Jin's head.

Bang!

"You're crazy, youngest. You're going to be in trouble if you keep doing this."

"Ugh, sister. You're being very aggressive."

"You're the one who's radical, you burn. I don't think I can live in my own name because of you. Let's go in, before anyone sees it."

Through the main gate, I entered Luna's room.

And as soon as she locked the door, Luna smiled broadly and clasped Jean's head again.

Bam bam bam! Bam!

"Come on, what else is our youngest here to ask? Huh? Or did you come here because you missed her?"

As if contented either way, Luna just felt good.

She's been missing her youngest sister a lot lately. The last time I saw him in person was the day he visited his father and overturned his home, so I wondered if he was growing up well.

'Even if Taichung has something to do with my curse, it's definitely a single crime that has nothing to do with your sister. He wouldn't have tried to hurt me.’

It was only a shame that Jean had suspected such a sister for a while.

"First of all, I'd like to thank you, Sister. If it weren't for your sister, it would have been difficult to find a home for the Colons."

"Why didn't you write me a letter like you did when you sent the Colons, I wouldn't have met you if I had something to do with it. By the way, are you going to say something upsetting as soon as you see it? Didn't I tell you last time, there is one love without a price among brothers?"

The letter was not used on purpose because Taichung might look at it first.

"Yes, sister. I remember...….”

"Hmm? The youngest, you. You don't look good. Have you gone through something too much to bear?"

an unaffordable task

It wasn't wrong.

'My sister will probably save a Thai nanny next to me in Looncandel. No, maybe more than me. Dear sister, I have to bring up the story that Taichung might have tried to hurt me.’

I didn't feel at ease before coming here.

Looking at Luna's bright face made me even more frustrated. Taichung Marius, she's definitely one of Luna's most loved ones.

"Sister."

"Tell me, brother."

"I found your sister because I have something to check with her."

"Yummy? Why all of a sudden?"

"Do you remember the story I told you the first day you came to visit me in a storm?"

"You mean who tried to assassinate you?"

"Yes."

Laughter faded from Luna's face.

"Tell me more about it."

"Recently, there was friction with the people who used the last name Marius from Delki. And there's only one last name in Delkie, Marius.….”

After a deep breath, Jin began to talk about everything he had been through.

Not only did I hear about "He" from Allu when he destroyed Tessing, but all the information I got from investigating him and about Kuzan and Veris.

At the end of the story, Luna was barely holding on to her trembling body and sweating cold sweats.

It was the first time in her life that her heart was filled with such ominous beats as it is now.

If her youngest sister's words are true, whether related to the assassination or not, her nanny is guilty of high treason. Whatever the causal relationship, it was because Taichung's limbs had already touched the pure blood of Looncandel.

"......so I'm here to see your nanny and see the truth.

"The nanny... had orphan assassins from Delky? Well, it can't be. It's a story I've never heard before. There must be some misunderstanding, youngest."

I'm afraid I'll see you like this.

Jean was just thinking about going to Taichung separately. But if Taichung is the culprit of the curse, or the conspirator. I'll never let him live.

Even if Taichung is the culprit. It was too harsh not to even give Luna a chance to talk to her.

'However, even your sister had no idea of personal history. Taichung Marius, what the hell is she? What do you want?’

Shaking.

Luna's hand, holding onto her shoulder, was trembling like an aspen tree.

"The nanny, she's on vacation now. You said you had a business trip to central Hufester. Wait till you get back... No, no. I need to see my nanny right away."

"Sorry, sister."

"What do you mean you're sorry for? The nanny would have nothing to do with it. It's probably the assassins' framing, if it's related. I'm sure the nanny... There must have been some sort of situation."

Jean held Luna's hand quietly without answering.

'Look back, the nanny used to look for Delkie a lot. I went on a lot of vacation, and I talked about sponsoring orphans whenever I had money.'

I didn't think much back then. In his 20s, he once visited an orphanage with his dissuading nanny, but all of them were other ordinary orphanages, not the sacrifice of the moon.

I know it's a good thing, nanny. Why are you taking care of orphans like this?

I'm an orphan, too. Oh, I haven't told you. Ho-ho, lady, if puberty was a little less flashy, you would have had a chance. You should have drunk with this nanny at least once.

Oh, uh... sorry. I didn't know that. I was too bad.

I'm sorry, miss! Other nannies in Looncandel never dream of such luxury. You've given me so much personal time that I can do volunteer work like this.

Uh. Um. Do you need more vacation?

Shall we get one more day?

Recalling the conversation we had one day, Luna shook her head.

'I... look back and I don't know much about the nanny's life. It wasn't until you were in your 20s that you knew your nanny was an orphan, and you thought you were just volunteering on vacation.’

Taichung's favorite food, favorite alcohol, favorite books, favorite clothes.

at a time when I can't think straight of such a trifle It was inconceivable that the eight-star assassins were being subservient.

Luna certainly loved Taichung, but didn't have much curiosity about her.

Since we've been together since we were one and thirty-five, we've only been used to it.

"Let's go, Jean. If what you say is true, the nanny... I've got my own hands. No, wait. Wait a minute, baby. Let's stay a little longer...….”

While Luna collapsed and crouched down.

Jin couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to pat his sister on the back in a miserable heart.
