93 – Absolute Power
“Why did you do that?”
It was the first thing the Marquis of Vampir uttered.
White’s expression was colored with doubt, and at the same time he narrowed his eyes.
The Marquis of Vampir continued.
“Why did you take Orca to that place?”
“… ….”
And with that second word, only then did White notice the Marquis of Vampir’s business.
‘Surely, Sir Edwald said he would announce my existence.’
That was probably what came out of the conversation we had after returning from killing Emel.
And if that was notified to the heads of the seven families, including the Marquis of Vampir, it would be even more strange that the Marquis of Vampir didn’t know.
Keeping his mouth shut quietly, White waited for Marquis Vampir to speak.
“…… I heard that you killed the demon king who killed my son.”
“Yes, I am.”
White immediately affirmed.
As a result, the Marquis of Vampir’s expression became subtle again, but White didn’t care.
There was no reason to hide it further in the yard that I knew everything in the first place.
White looked squarely at the Marquis of Vampir.
“Was there any reason to accompany Orca?”
“Is there any other reason not to accompany you?”
The Marquis asked, and White answered.
The Marquis of Vampir’s face was distorted.
“…… Still a child Leaving to take revenge on the demon king who killed his brother, he would never have had a good influence.”
With a very distressed expression, the Marquis of Vampir said so.
White was just calm.
“Orca is the same age as me, sir.”
“… ….”
At White’s words, the Marquis of Vampir gritted his teeth.
“Something like that… …. Isn’t that what you want to talk about?”
Saaa-
…… Gradually, bloody energy began to flow from the body of the Marquis of Vampir.
Ichae settled in White’s eyes.
It was lacking compared to that of Louis Vampir, but it was still a force worthy of being called the head of the seven families.
However, I don’t feel the pressure again.
To be clear, the current Marquis of Vamfir could be said to be inferior to himself, who had risen to the 8th Circle.
There was no reason to be afraid, no reason not to speak properly.
“I wanted to take revenge.”
That’s why she speaks out without any hesitation.
“…… What?”
The Marquis of Vampir asked again, frowning, and White began to speak slowly.
“In the first place, this is the guy who ran out of the system as soon as he heard that his own brother was the Demon King. In order to face such a dog death, it seemed necessary to aim for realistic revenge with my help.”
“… ….”
“In the end, Orca has achieved her own vengeance. I also received a little help from her, so it means that we had good results for each other.”
With that, White interrupted her once more.
And she secretly examines the expression of the Marquis of Bampir.
Looking at him clenching his teeth, White’s words didn’t sound very good.
Damn it!
Once upon a time, the sound of rough grinding reverberated through the alleyway.
The Marquis of Vampir opened his mouth, his bloody eyes flashing fiercely.
“…… You are talking nonsense, White Qliphort.”
“Which part of my words sounded like nonsense?”
“Everything sounded like nonsense to me.”
“That would be unfortunate. I was just telling the truth.”
“…… You look confident, at least not the attitude a nineteen-year-old boy would show in front of me.”
At the words of the Marquis of Vampir, White laughed inwardly.
In the first place, it was because he wasn’t the one who would feel pressured by this situation.
“… ….”
For an instant, White’s expression changed slightly to a vague feeling.
…… I understand Marquis Vampir’s feelings.
Considering that her one and only daughter could have been in danger, she couldn’t see anything else.
If she were to be threatened with death, let alone a simple danger.
It wouldn’t be strange if he lost his temper right away and grabbed his own neck.
But.
‘Nevertheless, my thoughts are the same.’
White’s eyes shone with a serious expression for an instant.
And then, he spits out the words.
“Orca is no longer just a child, sir.”
“…… What?”
White continued her words with a serious attitude toward the Marquis of Pir on the night of questioning her while frowning.
“It means that you are at an age where you can take responsibility for your own actions and at the same time make your own decisions. In fact, Orca is not suffering the after effects of revenge.”
Although she seemed to be feeling a bit bitter and melancholy.
With that added, White opened his mouth again.
“Even so, I did not despair. She says that, as His Excellency is concerned, she hasn’t been seriously hurt since she got her revenge.”
“… ….”
The Marquis of Vamfir’s eyes had become more savage before he knew it.
Even though he noticed that, White didn’t care.
“She is strong. I am no longer a little girl whom His Excellency has to take care of.”
“…… You guy.”
The Marquis of Vampir’s tone changed wildly before he knew it.
His eyes flashed with a terrifying expression, and he spat out as if chewing.
“What do you say you know? If, by any chance, Orca suffered a scar that he would never forget…… !”
Can you take responsibility?
I wonder if you can properly take responsibility for what you said.
Continuing his words in such a bloody tone, the Marquis of Vampir glared at White with a creepy look.
It was a murder to the point where it wouldn’t be strange to jump right in and twist his neck.
However, White was full of composure.
I wasn’t simply pretending to be like that, it was actually like that.
I was not young enough to feel the pressure and fear of living this much.
That’s why she was able to spit out those words.
“I will take responsibility, then.”
“…… What?”
The expression of the Marquis of Vampir instantly hardened.
It’s as if she didn’t understand White’s words, as if she couldn’t interpret that little word.
Contorting his expression slowly, step by step, he let out a suppressed voice.
“…… Now, what did you say?”
“I said I would take care of her, sir.”
From noble mtl dot com
“… ….”
The expression of the Marquis of Vampir changed to a daze in an instant.
She looked like she didn’t understand what she was hearing, or didn’t want to understand.
Still, White was calm.
Just like that, as usual, with an expressionless expression on her face, she continued her words.
“It means she is that confident. Orca has already grown up. I enlisted her help, but nonetheless she took her revenge with his own hands. In the end, she avenged my brother’s death at a young age.”
“… ….”
Staring at the Marquis de Pir in the silent night with sharp eyes, White shrugged her shoulders once.
“If you still think she has her hurt, and if in fact she is hiding her hurt deep inside her heart.”
Stopping her once in a while.
But soon, not too late, she opens her mouth again.
With very serious eyes and a very confident look.
“I promise to take responsibility and erase her scars.”
That it was her own way of taking responsibility for accompanying her on her path of vengeance, her least atonement for dragging her little girl into her side of the world.
Adding that, White jerked her body away.
“If this is the end of what I have to say, I will go back. Your Excellency Marquis.”
“… ….”
White started walking towards the entrance of the alleyway.
And the Marquis of Vampir couldn’t bear to catch White like that.
It also meant that the condition was not so good that it could not be caught.
-I’ll take responsibility, then.
– I said I would take care of her.
In my head, the words that White had spoken a moment ago were lingering.
…… What the hell did you just hear?
I will take responsibility.
Who?
An Orca?
Who?
…… In what form?
“… ….”
It was truly a moment.
Forgetting all other problems, at least for that moment, the Marquis of Vampir changed his expression to that of a demon.
And stretch out your hand.
Towards none other than White, who turns around and walks away without hesitation.
A bloody aura of blood was already forming on the hands of the Marquis of Vampir.
“…… Wait, you bastard!”
“…… ?”
And at that point, did you finally notice the sense of incongruity?
The murderous feeling from behind, and the terrifying yet familiar bloody aura.
White turned her body around with a look of bewilderment and quickly raised mana.
I don’t know what it is, but I thought I’d try to block it first.
…… However.
It was, but fortunately, fortunately.
The hand of the Marquis of Vampir never reached White.
“…… This, stupid father!”
“?”
“…… ?”
The voice of a third person intervened momentarily, and Marquis Vampir and White turned their heads back to the source of the voice.
…… A certain girl flew in with her red hair flying.
With a very bloody expression.
…… At the same time, with her face dyed red as it is.
f*ck!
“Ouch…… !”
I wonder if I couldn’t bear to respond.
In an instant, Marquis Vampir was pushed backwards powerlessly and collapsed her body.
Kudangtang!
With a rather unsightly sound, the Marquis of Vampir collided with the side wall of the alleyway and collapsed.
His gaze soon turned to the red-haired girl who kicked him.
“…… Oh, Orca?”
The Marquis of Vampir blinked blankly with an expression of bewilderment beyond that.
“…… What nonsense are you talking about!”
Girl, Orca seemed unwilling to listen to her own father.
Just looking very flustered, the pupil waved back and forth, shaking his fingertips.
“Why, why! Why are you talking about this in a place where I’m not…… !”
Orca shouted one last word.
With sincerity.
Short, short, just one word.
“…… Stupid father!”
“…… !”
And with that one word, Marquis Vampir’s expression, which was trying hard to pretend to be calm, completely collapsed.
Like a parent who has been told he is going to cut ties with his child, he began to tremble.
“…… Oh orca. Wait a minute, listen to me I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding there is, but first—”
“I don’t know! Don’t talk to me now, go away!”
“…… !”
The expression of the Marquis of Vampir changed in an instant.
His pupils shook as if there had been an earthquake, and his fingertips trembled as if he had suffered from tremor.
…… And.
And then, watching that scene from start to finish.
White could do little more than tilt his head in bewilderment.
‘…… What is this situation?’
Unable to comprehend this strange skit-like situation, which is happening suddenly.
To think White was absent-mindedly scratching his cheek.
“Ahahahaha, you are a very sinful disciple.”
“…… ?”
It was then that a voice came from the side.
“And he doesn’t know what he’s guilty of.”
White’s gaze shifted to a girl who had come to her side before she knew it.
“…… How long have you been watching?”
You might be taken aback by the sudden approach, but White just asked with a timid expression.
Ashera, the girl, shrugged her shoulders, raising the corners of her mouth in her mischievous look.
“Well, maybe from the beginning?”
“…… I didn’t notice it at all.”
“Of course! No matter how fast you are growing up, you still fall far short compared to me?”
Ashera snorts with a strangely confident expression.
At that, White smiled lightly.
“Yes, yes. Yes, Master is the best.”
And then I spat it out.
“…… Doesn’t that sound like an oddly sarcastic tone? Regrettably.”
Boom!
“…… Kuck.”
What really came back was the swing of the wand, and the shapeless attack that resulted from it.
At the tingling sensation felt on the top of his head, White frowned once.
“…… I am against violence.”
“Goodbye, disciple. In a teacher-teacher relationship, the teacher is the absolute best.”
“…… Yes.”
