Love Letter From The Future chapter 418

6. Proof of Existence (6)

To. Dear, to my Ian Percus

Summer is over and autumn is coming. It rains coldly at night, and the broken sunlight is even nicer now. How is it, Ian? I wonder if you can hear this sound of rain soaking the moon.

Night, rain and alcohol.

It’s a perfect day to reminisce about the past. I don’t know if some will blame me for drinking because I became a priest, but it’s hard to wash away my bitter heart as that day has already arrived. You would understand my feelings, right?

Unlike today, it was a sunny day. The day I left for the Holy Land with you.

I remember how my heart swelled as if we were leaving for a picnic. It was my first time visiting my hometown with you. Hometown has a special meaning for everyone, and love makes us want to share it all. Even my childhood, which was buried a long time ago, I thought I could confidently face it if I was with you.

It was like a ‘confession’. He might have wanted to do penance for the little child he had been looking away from, and who had a lot of tears and resentment.

But who knew? The fact that my sins were separate.

The Lord has also spoken. As much as we hate someone, we hate ourselves. This is because the stronger our hatred is, the more painful and painful our hearts become.

I think the feeling of ‘doubt’ is similar to this.

The more I dug into the orphanage’s strangeness, the deeper my suspicions grew, and the more I distrusted myself. It was a time when everything I believed in collapsed. On the day I was betrayed at the hands of someone I never even suspected, I disrespectfully doubted the existence of God.

Because I was betrayed by none other than a colleague.

All the roads I loved were heading to the cross. On the day of the trial, death was right in front of my eyes, and the god I had been searching for all my life was nowhere to be seen.

It’s late, but I want to ask.

How could you trust me?

It’s a separate issue from being framed. The judgment was as if it had already been decided, and even I didn’t have the confidence to save myself. More precisely, it was in desperation. Faith, faith, faith… Because everything in my life has been denied.

Still, why are you

Even with skin torn, bones crushed, and blood dripping.

Were you trying to save me? Why did you want to show me hope again after giving up everything?

Actually, I already know your answer. ‘Cause I’ve always said that

It is called ‘obedience’, and the will of the Lord is truly unpredictable.

But now I know. Even if you are broken and collapsed in front of scars and trials, the fact that there are times when you have to stand up and move on again. And I learned that day that it is the Lord’s way of proving Himself.

Even a drink you drink today will become a memory someday.

Celebrating the death of a poor soul, and for our unpredictable future.

Drink one cup, fill another. I will drink this cup for you.

My love, my foundation, my eternal companion.

Rainy night, in front of the Lord, I swear my love for you.

P.S. 1: I think I will visit Jedo in the middle of next month. Of course, would you come out to meet me? Just one piece of advice: get rid of that pet dog, please. Once a week, I get a bunch of letters that give me a headache.

PS 2: Rumors have been circulating lately that the Yurdina family might have an illegitimate child. Do it in moderation, really. before bringing both of them to the Inquisition for adultery.

From. from your ‘Lucia’.

In the year 571 of the Imperial calendar, on the twelfth day of the disk month.

——

After reading the letter, I stayed silent.

Details were still not forthcoming. It was a characteristic shared by all letters, including the first one. At this point, it was right to say that some kind of coercive force worked rather than a coincidence.

The ‘I’ from the future once said something similar.

Direct delivery of information is too much ‘consumption’. It is unknown what it “consumes”, but there seemed to be a total amount of events that could intervene in the past from the future. The reason why the personality of the future couldn’t intervene in the past incident must be related to that.

In the end, I had to go through another difficult future with this vague clue.

It was better than facing the case without even this. Even so, I couldn’t erase the strange regret.

The reason was one.

The short scribbled words on the back of the letter were again locked in my field of vision.

‘Be careful of your family.’

In addition, the existence of the ‘traitor’ mentioned in the letter was enough to plant a handful of doubts in my mind.

And if you say ‘family’, there was only one suspect.

My sister, Leah Percus.

“No, no way… … .”

I swallowed a laugh and shook my head.

There was no way Leah would betray me. I don’t know if I’m manipulated by the dark church, but even that has long since destroyed the core of the corpse giant, and the possibility has become slim.

But I couldn’t shake off a single ray of anxiety.

Betrayal is when you are betrayed by someone you trusted.

Isn’t it clearly mentioned in the letter? I was betrayed by a ‘colleague’.

I chewed my lips for a while and swallowed the anguish. I didn’t want to doubt Leah, but it was also true that I was nervous.

A few minutes of tapping the table with your index finger.

In the end, there was no conclusion that I had to suffer alone. In this case, additional clues had to be gathered first.

There were two options for this.

First, investigating the whereabouts of ‘I’ from the future.

And second, consult with colleagues who are smarter than you.

It was common knowledge that the more information there was, the more specific inferences were possible. So, as usual, I decided to start with the first step.

It wasn’t difficult to trace ‘I”s whereabouts within the academy.

It was because he was so famous that all his movements were exposed. The next person I visited was the princess.

“Sir Ian, you are here again!”

As always, the princess welcomed me with delight. The patronage of the Berrata Palace, given only to the imperial family, only two people’s figures were reflected in the rare place.

yes, two people.

Surprisingly, there was a face she hadn’t seen in a long time by the princess. I saw a female knight with neatly arranged blue hair falling like a waterfall.

Irene Lupermion.

She had said that she would remain in the Percus territory for a while and serve as an escort, but she returned.

I smiled at the return of my comrade.

“Sir Irene! Are you back?”

“Yes, Master. Thanks to you, I was fine.”

Sir Irene smiled bitterly and accepted my greeting.

Still, the title ‘Master’ was unfamiliar to me. Come to think of it, the princess and Sir Irene were among those who did not know the existence of ‘I’ from the future.

I’ll have to clarify someday.

Also, I thought that Sir Irene, who calls me ‘Master’, would be embarrassed, so I decided to reveal the truth later. Because the person Sir Irene entrusted as her teacher was always ‘me’ from the future.

Instead, I gave a normal hello.

“What about House Percus? I heard that the search was carried out with the Imperial Intelligence Service, but didn’t the Dark Church’s gangsters approach?”

“If that was the case, I would have contacted Master right away. but… … .”

Hmmm, Sir Irene reassured me and gave me a slightly embarrassed expression.

It was the appearance of a misbehaving child noticing his parents.

While I was looking at you with a questioning look, Sir Irene sighed and started talking straight ahead.

“The ‘masked man’ has completely disappeared. I can’t even identify the suspect… … .”

In other words, it was said that it might still be wandering around the Percus family.

As I swallowed my saliva, the princess looked back and forth between me and Irene. It seemed like he couldn’t keep up with the conversation.

Is it because I don’t notice?

While hesitating whether to give a supplementary explanation for a moment, the princess tilted her head.

“You asked me two days ago, right? About that ‘masked man’.”

Then, it was Sir Irene who was rather surprised.

She made an even more guilty expression and lowered her head. The cold sweat dripping down his face was representative of that feeling.

“I’m sorry. Master… I didn’t know because it just arrived yesterday. If I knew you cared so much, I should have stayed and watched… All right, shall we go back?”

“Okay, what else did I ask?”

After cutting off Sir Irene’s proposal with a single knife, I asked the princess again.

At this point, if you asked about the ‘masked assailant’, there would be a good reason. Because he doesn’t do anything stupid.

In particular, he was indifferent to the ‘masked assailant’ until recently.

He was also seen in the Yurdina Territory, but it was unnatural to suddenly pay attention to him.

The princess, unaware of the circumstances, just put on a bewildered expression.

“You asked about the stranger you saw in the Yurdina family, right? What was your impression… … .”

“So what did you say?”

“I was so surprised at the time, in fact I don’t remember well… … .”

Then, the princess said “ehe” and smiled stupidly.

It was an answer that only came out with a sigh, but facing that pure expression, it was ambiguous to get angry again. At least, the princess came up with one useful piece of information for me.

“Oh! Come to think of it, did you also talk about Sir Irene?”

“Sir Irene?”

“Yes, he said he needed to listen closely to Sir Irene’s testimony.”

The eyes of the princess and I naturally turned to Sir Irene.

Even so, Sir Irene was still unable to make eye contact as if he was uneasy. He just closed his eyes tightly as if he was desperately trying to recollect his memories, and then he made an awkward expression.

“That, as I said, ‘flash!’ Except I did… … .”

The faces of the princess and I hardened.

It was absolutely unhelpful information. Wouldn’t everyone feel a flash in front of their eyes right before they collapse?

In the end, Sir Irene followed the princess with an ehe, stupid smile. It seemed that he was contemplating a way out on his own.

“Sir Irene, are you funny? Right now, Sir Lee Ahn is personally asking?”

“I’m sorry. Her Highness the Princess… … .”

“If I’m sorry, will my life as an escort end?”

Of course, that attempt ended in failure.

It was because the princess began to bruise with a strangely bad tone, with one hand on her waist.

In the end, Sir Irene was stumped again and had to hang her head.

Either way, my anxiety was getting deeper and deeper.

There was no proper information. According to what I investigated, the conversation with the princess was the last place where my actions continued. There must have been some activity after that, but it was difficult to investigate right now.

Still, I wished there was at least one more meaningful clue.

As I was groaning like that, the princess who was longing for Sir Irene cautiously asked me.

“Ang Lee, do you have any concerns?”

My eyes glanced at the princess.

Come to think of it, the princess was talented enough to be the top of the first year at the Faculty of Magic. Wouldn’t something new come out if you consulted?

But I soon picked it up and laughed and threw it away.

You mean the princess?

The princess in my head felt like a younger sister to protect. It was never something I could rely on or rely on.

Even so, why?

Looking at the light gray eyes burning with will, I was seized with a strange feeling. Looking back, the princess had already tried to bury me at the academy.

I remember going through a lot of trouble back then.

With the feeling that it would be more than worth it to lose, I decided to confide in the princess about my worries.

“I mean, what would you think if you heard the story ‘Beware of your family’?”

“Ah, isn’t that too obvious?”

Indeed, it was.

I realized once again the origin of the princess. They say it with a smile, but no family can respond so boldly to the call to be careful of their family.

It was something only the royal family could do.

For them, it must have been the words they heard from the moment they realized the language.

However, the princess tilted her head and asked if she was well aware of the fact that I didn’t ask the question with that intention.

“But it is strange. Why didn’t you specify who to watch out for?”

“Yeah, actually. For various reasons, direct information cannot be conveyed. It is necessary to convey as comprehensive information as possible… … .”

“Still, it’s strange.”

The princess asked in a calm voice, as if she was sincerely questioning.

“After all, you’re saying that specific information shouldn’t be delivered to Sir Lee Ahn, right? However, as far as I know, there are not many family members of Sir Ian, and I know it to the extent that it is possible to identify it.”

That was an appropriate point.

It was a word that accurately penetrated the point I was worried about, and I was at a loss for words. According to those words, the only thing I should be suspicious of was Leah.

In other words, it was the same as saying to doubt Leah.

Then this was no longer second-hand information. While I was silent for a moment, the princess smiled and said,

“The important thing is not to question the ‘family’. There are questions that need to be addressed before that.”

And a declaration full of conviction followed.

“Whose family is this?”

The light gray eyes of the princess who added that way had a rare, insidious light.

It was the eyes of a schemer who discovered an interesting riddle.

**

After listening to the princess’s advice, I came to consider a wider range of candidates.

I wasn’t the only one with a family in the world. It cannot be concluded that Lia is not a ‘traitor’, but the saintess’ ‘family’ was also located in the orphanage right away.

So maybe someone at the orphanage is a traitor?

Why are there so many traitors in the orphanage managed by Seongguk?

After thinking about this and that, before I knew it, I passed through the warp gate and entered the Holy Kingdom.

It was also then that I encountered an unexpected person.

“Eh, senior Elsie?”

At my low call, the girl in the cone hat turned around in amazement. Then, immediately, a welcome light bloomed in those blue eyes.

However, it was disappointing to take his place soon after.

Why, before I fell into trouble.

“Long time no see.”

I had to slightly raise my gaze to the shadows cast in front of me. I was also on the tall side, but the other person was taller than him.

He was truly a man worthy of the title of giant man.

And his eyes were blue, similar to Elsie-senpai’s.

“Nephew son-in-law.”

I had to make a stupid face as I caught his outstretched hand.

The only two great wizards in the Rainella family, and the man who fought alongside me in the Percus Territory.

It was a reunion with Reynold Rainella.
