168 – Scene 168# Grave
*
“I really… . Honestly, isn’t this a hit and run?”
“Shut up and dig.”
“Okay… .”
Hans, a vassal of the Wolfbert family, wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Annoyance came over me.
Perhaps other vassals feel the same way.
Tangmar’s dazzling sea and beach beauties… … .
What kind of crap is this to come to an uninhabited island, turning away from such temptations?
Unable to bear it, Hans stopped shoveling.
“Write… . What kind of grave robbers are we?”
“Hans is right. Gibson. Isn’t this a bit off?”
Hans and his colleagues complained in unison. That’s also true, because they, Wolfbert’s vassals, were now daring to dig a grave in the ancestral island of their master’s family.
Gibson, the eldest among the retainers, said straight up.
“If you have time to complain, do it quickly. Because the head of the house ordered it.”
“You mean Gail?”
Hearing that, Hans couldn’t understand it even more.
“Then I don’t understand it even more. The owner of this tomb is Gael-sama’s… . Aren’t you the one who is denied anyway?”
A tombstone stood next to Hans.
[Tomboy Mei]
[Sleep forever on this island]
Gibson cautioned Hans.
“It’s Mrs. Be careful what you say, son of a b*tch. Gael-sama’s only wife is Hildegard-sama.”
“Oh, of course that is what it says. words. After all, aren’t you the one who gave birth to Gail-sama’s child? That’s why I even made a tomb, but now I don’t understand why they’re cleaning it up.”
Not only Hans, but the other retainers also nodded as if they agreed with the idea.
Gibson clicked his tongue in response.
“Tsk… . Why is it so important to vassals like us? You have to do as you say.”
“Isn’t it strange though? This is not like Gail.”
“I can only speculate, but I think Hildegard-sama put pressure on it.”
“Ah, the hostess… .”
“yes. He is the only one who regards this grave as a thorn in his eye.”
Certainly, if it was Hildegard-sama’s instructions, I was convinced.
Because it was Mrs. Hildegard who strengthened the family in place of Mr. Gail, who was busy with commanding the Imperial Navy.
Hildegard-sama not only turned a blind eye to Gail-sama’s adultery, which could be said to be a major stain, but also accepted the illegitimate son, the result of the affair, as an official member of the family. Although I heard that the illegitimate son ungratefully abandoned the family long ago… .
Anyway, even Hildegard-sama, who was so merciful, would have been greatly hurt by Gale-sama’s affair. The core is not visible, but it will definitely exist. Because Hildegard-sama is also a woman.
“Grunt… . Then there is nothing you can do.”
Hans and his companions picked up their shovels again.
They have one thing to do today.
To remove the grave of the head of the household from this place. This would be to clean up the stains of the proud Wolfbert family.
Thinking so, Hans felt a weight on his shoulders.
“You just have to do as you are told. If Gail-sama had instructed it, everything had a good reason. We just need to clean this tomb off the island.”
Gibson is right.
I’m sorry to the owner of the cemetery, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
“If you know, move quickly.”
“Yes. Yes. It’s okay.”
Hans and his colleagues resumed shoveling.
OK… .
Kwajik-.
The moment Hans poked his shovel into the soft ground, the tip of the shovel touched something.
It wasn’t hard to realize that it was a coffin.
“phew… . I’m glad it’s not as deep as I thought.”
“Good work. Then, if we throw the coffin into the sea and break the tombstone, our job is-”
“You are suffering a lot. Everyone.”
“Ahh?!?”
Startled by the sudden voice of a woman, Hans turned around.
It was not only Hans who was surprised, but everyone present there must have been the same.
“What, what… ? Woman?”
Where did it appear?
A woman they had never seen before stood in front of them.
Wearing a black military coat over her shoulders, she was glaring at them with bewitching eyes. Those eyes were unusually odd.
“… Ugh.”
In particular, her left eye, obsidian-colored pupils, emitted an eerie light.
As Hans froze for a moment, overwhelmed by those eyes, Gibson opened his mouth.
“How the hell did you know this place?”
“Hmm… . There seems to be no reason to answer the grave robbers, right?”
“We are not grave robbers, but vassals of the Wolfbert family. We are moving the tomb on the orders of the head of the family.”
“The grave… Are you moving? By the head of the house?”
“exactly.”
At that, the woman tilted her head.
Gibson asked about the identity of the unexpected guest.
“More than that, who are you? Who came to such a remote island… .”
“Oh, who am I?”
The corner of the woman’s mouth rose slowly.
It was a very beautiful smile, but her eyes never smiled.
“The grave where you guys are messing around… . Would you understand if I said I was the daughter of the owner of the tomb?”
*
-word… Parentheses… this mei… ?
I barely read what was written on the tombstone.
It’s a memory from when Helga was very young.
-Dad, Mom’s name is May… ?
-… hit.
Gail nodded at the young woman’s question.
It was obviously a faded memory, but it was strangely vivid at that moment.
– Was your mother a tomboy?
-… … .
After receiving her question, Gail was silent for a long time.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but he gave an answer out of the blue.
-Your mother was the woman who loved you more than anyone else.
Looking back, that one word from Gail was all she had to say about her mother.
I didn’t expect any kind of romantic answer from Gale Wolfbert, who is a warrior to the core… .
‘Even so, lying is a bit too much… . father.’
may.
All Helga knows is her mother’s name. I couldn’t even identify his face because there was no photo left.
She died while giving birth to Helga and was buried on this island, the family graveyard of the Wolfwert family.
Although it was not a royal family, but a mistress, it was possible because of Gail’s consideration.
Perhaps that was the best consideration the blunt Gail could have had, he thought.
To remind Helga that her mother existed, they made a tomb and erected a tombstone.
It must have been part of consideration to tell a lie that would soon be exposed.
I definitely thought so… .
In front of Helga’s eyes was her mother’s grave, which had been ruthlessly dug up.
“Daddy, daughter? Then you are Gail-sama’s?!”
A commotion broke out among the men.
The one who calmed the fuss was a man who looked like a leader.
“What are you guys sitting in bewilderment about? He already has nothing to do with us.”
“Oh right. right… .”
“Hmm… . From the looks of it, there are only three possibilities. Either you are really vassals who came under the command of Head Wolfbert… . A grave robber who came to rob a tomb, or a pirate who has lost his cowardly head.”
“what? pirate?”
It was the man in the middle who reacted sensitively to those words.
“Hey! I don’t know if you really are the daughter of the head of the household, but don’t talk nonsense.”
“Hey! men and horses! Hans!”
Before the leader had time to stop, he grabbed the shovel handle and approached Helga.
“Listen. this b*tch We are the people who served the head of state for a long time and drove the pirates out of the sea. Pirates to us like that?”
In a genuine rage, he grabbed Helga by the throat.
“Do you think you can’t beat a b*tch with a smooth face? ok? watch your mouth Otherwise-.”
In fact, Helga knew.
The man must have only intended to threaten.
Unfortunately, Helga was very angry now.
“Hey… Hans?”
It was a colleague behind the leader who realized something was strange.
dump.
The man called Hans collapsed on the spot, stiff.
“… Be careful with your dirty hands.”
Helga straightened the crumpled collar.
Sparks flew from the body every time.
He snapped menacingly in response to her emotions.
“-!”
The man who was electrocuted by the electricity flowing from his body was chewing on crab foam and convulsing.
Helga trampled him mercilessly with her high heels.
“What is this?!”
“Oh, it’s noisy. So, who wants to grab you by the collar?”
Lightning emanated from her body.
The men who recognized the magic of the purple lightning, like the symbol of the Wolfbert family, began to retreat.
“That magical power is the same as the head of the house… .”
“Then is she really the daughter of the head of the household?!”
Men seized with astonishment and fear.
Seeing that, Helga thought.
I felt like I wanted to run wild.
I released my mana to neutralize the man, but that didn’t ease my anger at all.
If only I could bring pain to those who damaged my mother’s grave… .
If these people were to disappear without a trace with lightning, these uncontrollable emotions might disappear with them.
“You don’t know whose daughter I am.”
Helga raised the magic within her body.
I could feel the power tingling through my skin.
“Because they will disappear from now on.”
“… !”
The faces of the men who saw it were frightened.
It was at that moment that Helga’s lightning was about to strike them down.
“stop.”
“… !”
The moment she heard that voice, Helga quickly swallowed her magical energy.
It was almost like instinct.
Because there was no such thing as rejecting that voice.
Helga turned around as if nothing had happened.
Standing there was a black scion whom she trusted and followed, and whom she ardently admired.
“… did you come Count.”
“Lu, Count Ruelberta… ?!”
“Why, why is that person here… ?”
The men who were stepping back couldn’t help but recognize him.
Somehow, the most famous aristocrat in this country.
Count Tristan Ruelberta.
I couldn’t believe it, but he appeared before my eyes.
“Bae, Count!”
The first to speak this time was a man who seemed to be the leader.
“Excuse me, but I am Gibson, serving the Wolfbert family! Know this woman as your vassal! There seems to be a misunderstanding, but please stop this woman-!”
“I don’t know what you mean, but that’s good. A worker has come beforehand.”
“ah… . Yes? A laborer?”
Gibson’s desperate appeal was questioned.
Neither did Helga, who couldn’t keep up with Tristan’s conversation.
“Uh, um… . Count… ?”
“Actually, I was thinking about how to move the tombs on this island while coming by boat.”
said Tristan, stroking his chin deftly.
“Seeing that the workers were here in advance, the hotel staff must have considered my wishes and sent them.”
“Oh, no… . We are not workers… . They are vassals of the Wolfbert family… .”
“But it looks like you guys were digging the wrong grave.”
“… … Yes?”
“The grave you are going to move to is not this grave, but the rest except for this grave.”
Tristan pointing at the entire island with his staff.
At that bizarre attitude, Gibson, the leader, exclaimed.
“Now, wait. Count?! I don’t know what you mean. Why is the Count moving the Wolfbert family grave?”
“Looking at that reaction, I guess I didn’t know.”
Tristan, Earl of Luelberta, told them with a ‘arrogant’ smile.
“This is my island from now on.”
