130 Ep.42. Taichung Marius (3)

"Yes, Taichung abandoned the two."

"Yes, Lord. I checked it myself. What should I do?”

"Take care of it."

* * *

Taichung was still staying at his villa in central Hufester. All the servants who managed the villa were sent back. In the middle of the vast mansion, she was alone.

What she sat in front of the table was Luna and her tea. The touch on the teacup was calm.

Taichung was still thinking.

'Berris, Kuzan. He won't let them live. Your personal information is exposed to Master Chen.’

The best hunting dogs of the Moon's sacrifice that he raised himself.

Eight-star wizards and knights. Although it is a painful loss to give up such talent, Taichung believes that hounds can be trained and made.

'It only takes time, and with brainwashing and body modification, you can make as many hounds as you want. They'll be handled by his assassin team, and I'll wait for Lady Luna to find out how Master Chin found a clue to me.’

Jin was investigating Marius until he fought with Veris and Kuzan.

In the meantime, Taichung couldn't even guess what the cause was.

Taichung cursed Jin 15 years ago when he was one year old.

Somehow the curse failed, but I thought it would never be caught. No witnesses, no evidence left.

Did the wizard who spread the curse let you know? Anyway, if you meet Lady Luna and Master Chin in person, you'll get the answer.’

Lady Luna, who has a weak heart, can't kill me anyway.

Recalling the absolute proposition once more, Taichung lifted the teacup.

Strictly...!

As soon as Taichung cleared his mind, the gate of the mansion opened.

It was Jean and Luna.

"You're here, miss. And Master Chin."

"The nanny."

Buck, Buck, Buck...….

Two men slowly approaching Taichung.

'He knew we were coming. You must have faith.’

Jin felt a strange sense of incompatibility.

Taichung looked straight at Luna, but rather, Luna was not sure where to put her red eyes.

Soon Luna looked straight at Taichung.

"I'll be blunt. Do you know the people of Veris Marius and Kuzan Marius?"

"I know, miss."

"Why were you secretly raising your men? Besides, why do the nanny's men keep bumping into the youngest? Tagan Marius said something strange to Jin before he died. What the hell is going on?…?”

Let's ask him calmly, I've promised him a few times.

Luna's furious voice was shaking.

"......what strange words did you leave behind? It was not by my orders that my men ran into Master Chin. Did you conclude from the beginning that I tried to kill Master Jean?”

"Even if the nanny didn't give the order herself, the nanny's men were pure blood Looncandel. I hit the youngest! But what the hell is this attitude now?"

"If you're going to punish me for that, I'll take it sweetly. Miss, I was very upset to hear from Kuzan and Veris, and I was just waiting for you."

"What the hell were you secretly raising assassins, answer that first.”

"Please refer me to the family trial. I'll go back then and give you a full statement.

Jean shook her head.

"Wait, Taichung. I know you have faith in something. I can't stand being rude to my sister anymore. Besides, it doesn't matter? You killed the Moon's victims as soon as I began investigating the castle called Marius."

"I think Master Chin has a misunderstanding, too."

"Really? Hopefully it's a misunderstanding. Still, I'm thinking of you, hoping you don't have anything to do with the "flying widow." Before Tagan Marius died, he told me a lot of information. Even the rescued Den Marius.”

He deliberately took out the name of the curse 'the widow of the wing'. Lunado, Gilly, Murakan, and his colleagues don't even know the name.

Then Taichung hesitated and looked at Jean.

"Why? Is it strange that you know what happened when I was one year old? I'm God's contractor. I don't remember, but God, who signed with me, remembers what happened in the cradle of the storm.”

It was a lie. Since Jean never heard the voice of Soldierlet from right before his return until now.

However, Taichung could not be thought to be a lie.

"I see... has Master Jean already been chosen by the Soldier since then? The wizard didn't leak the information, it was God himself. So since you first met Lady Luna on the storm, you've been looking for her.’

It is no coincidence that Master Chen is here now. He visited Tagan Marius in Arkin because he had put me on the list of suspects in the first place.

So sure as he was, Taichung swallowed a smile.

It's obviously great to have come this far, but Jin now has no "decisive evidence" to accuse him of being the culprit.

'Tagan and Den don't know a single detail about the curse. Master Qin is telling a shallow lie, circumstances alone can't help me.’

On the other hand, Jean was full of weaknesses. The use of magic and the fact that he is a contractor of solderlet, and that he has broken numerous laws as a backup rider.

Taichung knows all that.

"I see, Master Jean. It's amazing that you were God's contractor. Even though it's Looncandel... But what does that have to do with me? No way, do you mean that I put the curse on you? It's all new to me."

"Well, you'll find out if you check it out gradually."

"I will do my best in the family trial."

While Luna didn't pick the answer, Jean took a step forward.

"A family trial? You're confused about something, Taichung. Seeing that you keep mentioning family trials, there must be quite a few of your own in your family. You're going to go to my personal space and get interrogated."

Then Taichung narrowed down the middle of his forehead.

"Do you have the authority of Master Chin, the reserve rider? Miss, this is over the limit. If you're going to punish me, you do it yourself. When the family trial begins, I won't let you come to see me now.….”

"The nanny."

Luna bit her lips and glared at Taichung.

"Yes, miss."

"I... I feel like the nanny is not who I used to know. And the behavior that the nanny is showing now, I just can't understand it in my head."

"I don't understand you either. It's true that my men happened to have an affair with Master Chin, but how can you doubt me for bringing you here all my life?”

"That's because the nanny was nurturing the assassins...….”

"I'm sorry I kept it from you, but I raised my men only to protect myself."

"What?"

"Do you know how many enemies Lady Luna has in the family? As a result, I was threatened with murder every day. You probably don't know."

"What are you talking about? In Looncandel, I dare to open my eyes. Someone tried to kill the nanny?"

"......really, you don't know anything.”

"Don't play with words and talk straight. Mother, I feel like my heart is going to burst right now."

"Lady, take a good look. The servants in charge of managing your room usually changed less than a year. Except for me, the nanny, the people who serve you every year have been changing."

It was true.

It is often the case that servants who serve the pure blood Looncandel are changed. This is because they may be promoted to deacon or writer, or transferred to other jobs.

In Luna's case, however, servants have often changed.

"Why would he do that?”

"That."

"Have you ever given them any attention? Maybe you just changed people, you never asked me. It's been going on since your adolescence."

"What do you want to talk about?"

As Luna shook her head confusedly, Jean quietly held her trembling hand.

It was because Jean was expecting what Taichung would say.

"They've all been killed, miss. To your other brothers. While you don't give them any attention! That's why people change every time."

Luna's pupils dilated.

"You've always had the strongest power, and you didn't know what was going on with your men. But your people, just being around you, have always been threatened with death."

"Why, you didn't tell me that?"

"Because it's obvious that the baby is distressed and sad. Your brothers have been harassing your people instead of hurting you directly. Isn't it impossible for them to kill you?"

"Don't be ridiculous! If the nanny had told me once, would I have stayed still? You don't know me that much, nanny? If I had known these facts, I would have turned my back on them.

"......I didn't tell you because I know a woman better than anyone else."

"Dogs!"

When Luna shouted, there was a light earthquake inside the mansion, and the teacup in front of Taichung rumbled and stirred a whirlpool.

"I wonder if you'really... Could you have cut off your brothers who killed your servants? He inherited the strongest qualities, but withdrew from the throne war for fear of killing or subjugating his brothers."

As she approached Taichung, Luna stopped walking.

"Please answer me, miss. How did you get back at her? For your people, could you kill your brothers? I just, shuddered with anguish and did nothing."

"I am."

"Maybe you've broken your heart. She knows how soft you are, and she knows better than anyone. And to me, can you hold me.

Taichung smiled bitterly as he grabbed the shaking teacup.

"From the moment the young lady stepped down from it, that terrible war contending for the throne of Looncandel. Your people have all fallen prey. You shouldn't have given up the throne of Looncandel."
