Everyone’s Secret – 2
But there is a problem with my plan.
runaway.
Even when he touched the Jewel of Desolation on King Mu’s stomach, the jewel ran out of control.
Perhaps the black sun that appeared before the return was also the result of a runaway Jewel of Corruption.
Trail said in an absurd tone.
[What kind of hero does he covet every time he sees the Demon King’s core? As you said, what if I run into another runaway like in the Jewel of Desolation?]
‘I’m going to ask Neryl to take them out. I’m asking you to carefully extract the jewel without a runaway.’
[……]
‘Of course, there’s no one who can stand still when he pulls out his eyeballs, so we’ll have to stun Patrick in moderation.’
Trail said.
[It’s just that it’s moderately stunned.]
‘uh.’
[Isn’t that harm?]
‘……?’
[You just heard Patrick. He said that even stigmatizing him would be perceived as a detriment. His verbal attacks are about that level, but I wondered what would happen if he was stunned.]
For a moment, I opened my mouth slightly.
That’s right.
The trail rarely pointed out what I missed.
[Why is it rare?]
‘It makes sense. Thanks, Trail.’
[No, why is it rare?]
If you touch Patrick, Dame becomes a monster.
The former al-Qahad commander, nobles, guards, and company presidents, etc.
I was deep in thought.
‘What should I do?’
Then Dame opened his mouth.
“What do you want from me?”
“Get away.”
“What?”
“Like the former Al-Qahad general, I want you to retire.”
“……”
“You are too old to be my partner and you have a bad personality. Make the person I designate the commander of the Knights of Light. I will hold hands with him.”
Dame burst out laughing.
“It’s not that they’re holding hands, it’s that they’re trying to threaten you with a monster form. Just like me now.”
“no. I don’t do that.”
“I would believe that…”
“You can’t engrave something ugly like a monster on that beautiful body.”
stand tall.
Dame’s body stopped.
And on my forehead, there were bloody veins.
Patrick smiled bitterly and nodded his head.
“okay. The successor I want is Xenia Said.”
“Your bastard.”
“No, honestly, Jenia is quite beautiful. is not it? Father-in-law.”
“kill!”
“If you kill me, you immediately become a monster. And Xenia will have no choice but to follow my advice for the same reason.”
“……”
“Because he was a man of deep filial piety. Whoa!”
He let out a scream that he did not know whether it was a shout or a laugh.
Dame was grinding his teeth like they were going to break, but he didn’t dare rush at him.
drop.
That cuts the screen.
After watching the inauguration ceremony, I returned to the inn and invited the party members to sit down.
And he explained every detail of what he saw through the eyes of Jeon Ji-yeon.
The attitudes of those who listened sullenly at first gradually changed.
In the past, it has come to the point that the back cannot be attached to the back of a chair.
“The Jewel of Corruption and Captain Patrick. And it has to do with Dame.”
Neryl touched her forehead.
I said carefully.
“It must be very heartbreaking.”
“Sorry? Why am I heartbroken?”
“uh? That’s like Crotz’s grandson who had a relationship with you.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t know English.”
She tilted her head and looked as if she had realized something.
A mischievous smile, rare for Neryl, hangs on her lips.
“Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”
“Eh?”
“hey. Crotz is just a one-time relationship. Did you think we were soulmates?”
“……”
“It’s surprising that his grandson literally ‘corrupted’, but that’s all. Don’t get me wrong.”
I felt strangely feeling better.
Offense and Ardwin whisper.
“Maid hyung and Neryl noona. It seems a bit silly.”
“Well. It definitely feels like that.”
“I wish it could be like this sooner.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter to me like that or that.”
tick.
Neryl snapped a finger.
A very simple wind magic flew like an arrow and stuck between them.
Kwagwang.
The magic made a hole in the sturdy wooden chair.
“Kids. If you have something you want to say, just do it.”
“Uh… Hey, wouldn’t we have died if this hit the head?”
“yes. It would have been.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t be sulking anymore.”
“It’s better.”
Neryl glared at the offense as if you were going to say it too.
He sighed and turned to me.
“Anyway, you mean that the problem will end once the eyes are removed, right?”
“okay. Neril will have to suffer a little.”
Neryl sighed.
“I’m glad it’s over. The Jewel of Corruption is something I have never dealt with.”
“Even though it’s the same Demon King, the principle is the same, isn’t it? A jewel of desolation.”
“You’ll see. Anyway, I can’t say I’m sick, so I’ll do my best.”
I nodded.
Then he put his hands together and spoke seriously.
“It is important whether or not extraction is possible, but there is one more thing to point out.”
“yes?”
“As I said, if you do any harm to Patrick’s body, all the hostages he has already half-corrupted become monsters. And it also has a dam.”
Everyone who knew what he was saying darkened.
In particular, Neryl bit her lip and said.
“I don’t think this is something we’re going to be alone in talking about.”
Offense answers.
“To agree. Dame is also Dame, but I don’t think we can’t recklessly kidnap and abduct the powerful capitalists while they are being held hostage.”
“Well.”
“How about contacting the pheasant first?”
Neryl opened her mouth.
“I’ll do it.”
“uh. First of all, don’t talk about Dame and ask him to come over for a moment.”
“okay. By the way……”
She tilted her head and asked.
“If everything goes well, can I really just take it out?”
“What are you talking about? You can’t do it, you have to.”
“The Black Sun is said to be a phenomenon that occurs when the Jewel of Corruption runs away.”
“uh. It is speculation.”
“Then the black sun would not rise if I harvested it successfully. Is that okay?”
I asked, not knowing what to say.
“Is that okay?”
“How are you going to raise your reputation without the Black Sun?”
“……”
oh
I didn’t think of that.
Turn back time, when the inauguration ceremony is in full swing.
Xenia was sitting in her father’s office.
From what I heard, Dame is yet to go to work.
That made Xenia puzzled.
‘Did your father ever break the working hours for at least one day?’
I swear it was never like that.
As she was about to continue thinking a little more, the door clicked open.
“Zenia.”
“father!”
Xenia almost reflexively put a smile on her face.
It’s literally reflective.
It’s an emotion that can’t be helped, despite Dame being the one responsible for committing an enormous amount of corruption.
it’s my father Because there is only one family.
‘Ouch. I didn’t come here for this.’
She hurriedly corrected her expression and opened her mouth.
“Didn’t there be an inauguration ceremony for the Al-Qahad general today? No matter how bad your relationship was, you shouldn’t have attended…”
Dame hardened his complexion for a moment, but answered calmly.
“Abel has been sent.”
“ah. Well, if it’s Sir Abel, the other side will understand. You’re my father’s lieutenant.”
Abel and Xenia were also quite friendly.
Although his strength was somewhat lacking, he had a good personality and was very trustworthy because he was smart.
She got to the point.
“I want to ask you something.”
“This guy. Before I even sit down, that’s the point.”
“……I’m sorry.”
Dame walked slowly and sat down in his chair.
I thought I did pretty well.
But Xenia immediately hardened her complexion and asked.
“Where are you?”
“……Why are you doing that?”
“You just limped a little.”
“What do you say? I must have been wrong.”
Dame unknowingly rubbed his right knee.
Xenia wanted to ask more details, but soon remembered that the person in front of her was the leader of the Knights of Light.
There is no reason for a person of that size to feel uncomfortable without the help of a priest.
‘Am I really wrong?’
Then Dame said.
“But what is going on here? There was no report of it coming.”
“Like I said, there is something I want to ask you.”
“Say it.”
“Did you sign a contract with Neril?”
Dame opened his mouth to the simple question.
pounding.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
My heart beats insanely fast.‘Neril!’
How can you give up ‘that thing’ and tell your daughter about Misoo?
Wasn’t that thing more precious to Neril than his life?
“Jean, Xenia.”
“That’s right. I can tell just by looking at his face.”
Xenia bowed her head with a disappointed expression.
Dame fidgeted and tried to say something.
“Listen. Xenia.”
“father. Please step down from your position as leader.”
“……what?”
“I don’t know what to do with my father right now. I’m really confused as to whether I should file a complaint or arrest him.”
“……”
“Stay back until I’m done worrying about it. You can delegate it temporarily to Sir Abel.”
Xenia’s eyes didn’t move.
At least on the surface.
But Dame is her father. So there is something to see.
‘Are you crying?’
Xenia had a habit of trembling around her eyes whenever she endured pain and sadness.
When she joined the Paladin and received arduous training, Xenia’s eyes trembled when Ophelia Mays disappeared.
And now he was shaking more than ever.
Dame slowly opened his mouth.
“…do you know everything?”
“yes.”
“Did you hear from Neryl?”
“no. I figured it out myself. Through the sent wizard Gerde.”
Dame easily figured out her lie.
‘You want to prevent me from burning Neryl’s weakness.’
How could God’s agent and the Witch of Cruelty become so close?
Dame turned to the window, feeling ten years old.
“It seems that a person named Maid does a pretty good job as a leader.”
“yes? Why all of a sudden?”
“I never even dreamed that you and Neryl would get along. So it’s safe to say that I’ve allowed you to go with Neryl.”
“……”
“But Maid gently united you and Neryl, who must have been at odds with each other. You don’t have the qualities of a normal leader.”
Even in the midst of this, Xenia was surprised that she was feeling a little better.
“yes. Right. He’s a great guy.”
“Whew. Xenia. The reason I signed the contract is…”
“I’m sorry. I may look casual right now, but on the inside, I am quite excited. I don’t want to hear any excuses.”
“……”
“I will tell you again. It’s okay, even temporarily, until I’m done worrying about it. Please step down from your post.”
Dame felt that the burden on her heart was lighter than she thought at the words of her daughter.
It feels like I am suddenly putting down a burden that I have been handling for decades.
‘Was it this easy?’
no. It can’t be easy.
If someone other than Xenia had said this, Dame would have desperately made excuses and denied it.
But in front of my daughter, I could be a little more comfortable.
“okay. I will do that…”
That was then.
Suddenly, lightning struck Dame’s head.
‘That guy. Patrick Benjamin!’

Just yesterday, Patrick had told him to step back.And he told me to appoint Xenia as the general manager.
Of course, I have no intention of following up with that, but if he really retires from his position as general manager, Patrick will approach Xenia.
‘And your father will threaten you to sit in the back seat. If you don’t do that, Dame’s life will be lost!’
Can not be done.
I won’t leave it like that.
He must remain in this position at least until he takes care of Patrick’s child.
When you talk about retirement now, you say, ‘Zenia is in the capital.’ will be a signal.
It’s clear that he’s going to use his strength to find Xenia and threaten him.
Dame clenched his teeth and answered.
“I can’t. Xenia.”
“father?”
“I am not saying this out of greed for this place. It’s not good for you that I’m backing out now. Just believe in this.”
“……”
Xenia looked at Dame quietly.
Silence passes for a moment.
“Help me believe it.”
“How can I help you?”
“Are you holding onto Neril’s weakness? Oh, by the way, this wasn’t what Neryl-san said, but myself…”
“okay. holding it.”
“…what is that? And where are you?”
Dame sighed.
“Are you going to give it back? To Neryl.”
“yes.”
“If you give it back, the Empire will lose its tools to wield the Wicked Witch.”
“father. The Wicked Witch is a person the Empire cannot and does not need to deal with. She is not a bad person!”
“Puch.”
For the first time, a smirk caught on Dame’s lips.
As Xenia tried to crumple her face, his words continued.
“You wouldn’t even say that without knowing her past.”
“yes? what……”
“not. Anyway, the weakness in the yard that everyone found out is good. But I can’t give it back.”
“father!”
“Listen. It’s not that I don’t want to give it back, it’s that I can’t. Its weakness lies beneath the imperial castle.”
For a moment, Xenia was convinced.
Yellow Castle Underground.
It is a remark among remarks that only the royal family can enter.
All kinds of bizarre objects, including the legendary ultra-wide search magic circle developed by Beyond Erenica, were sleeping there.
“The Imperial Underground is a collection of secrets that neither magic nor sorcery works. To open the door there, you must have the Emperor’s license.”
“Isn’t that something that my father couldn’t burn anyway?”
“okay. As soon as I took possession of the weakness, I put it up to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty put it in the basement of the Imperial Palace without touching it. You lied to Neryl. Of course, I will not apologize.”

Jenia pondered for a moment and asked.“…what the hell is that weakness?”
“that.”
“no.”
Xenia hurriedly waved her hand.
“I don’t think this is something my father will hear. Neryl will tell you later when the time is right.”
“You seem to have become really close.”
“I will ask you one more thing.”
She hardened her complexion.
“Ophelia went missing, and my father took it to Neryl. Maybe your father is Ophelia…”
