Egret

Having repeatedly watched people who were desperate and frustrated again, Greg accepted the situation in a different way than at the time.

‘But it's cold enough to say good. Who are you talking about in good faith? ’

I suddenly came up with the question. It's not good to close your eyes and close your ears. Rather, it was an attitude that might have felt like evil to someone who trampled on hope and turned his back.

What if I listened a little more to their stories?

For the first time, he began to judge his behavior from a variety of perspectives and followed the flow of the past, submerged in suffering.

“Good morning, sage. ”

“... Please don't call me that. I'm not a sage. ”

“Your Majesty has acknowledged it, and everyone in the world calls it that. But if you don't like it, I won't call you sage. ”

The smiling blonde woman was a maid who helped household chores for Greg who frequently vacated and wandered around at the time. It wasn't Igrett who hired her, but she volunteered to help Maid with the job.

One day, I saved a village that was almost buried alive in a landslide. At that time, a woman who saved her life was following me and working.

“Shall we call him Eun-in again? Or master?”

“… just enough to go to Igretro. ”

“Yes, Greg. ”

The children also liked her because she was so sticky and sagley. Her name was Micah.

Micah was a lively, hard-working woman trying to do anything. He was pleased that he was helpful to someone. Above all, I eagerly wished to help Igret, the savior of life.

Sometimes when he knew what he was doing for him or when he came to say thank you, he was so happy that his face turned red with tears. She was a faithful woman who knew how to delight in small things and how to thank God for His grace.

However, her little happiness did not last long.

“Mr. Igrett!"

After two days of doing what he had to do, Frid came running to him with a pale face. Now he grew up a lot and was so tall that he couldn't be seen as a child anymore, but he was still a child in front of him.

Raya, who was stuck next to Fried, burst into tears as she couldn't stand it.

“Micah... Micah... ”

Frid opens his mouth, holding his fist tight.

“Dead.”

“ ……. ”

I was beaten to death by the horse I was running to.

“That's what the nobles were riding. He didn't pay any attention to the way people were walking. Witnesses say that the speed was too fast and he drove the horse like a crazy person.. ”

It was instantaneous. Micah passed away without a chance to use his hands.

The cause of the accident was the drinking of that nobleman. He was drunk and had an accident because he spoke fast.

But I must have covered this case with a simple accident.

The perpetrators were unpunished. Not only that, but I also lost the reason for being punished for not collecting data to prove my hangover status. The deceased jumped in front of the horse running in the bulldozer and was treated as a simple accident and sent money comfortingly to the nobility.

Igrett did not respond to the information given by the green wind. I couldn't decide what to do.

“Those bastards. I manipulated the accident squad because I didn't want to lose their honor.... A man died... What's that honor? The truth turned into a lie with a pen. ”

Fried sensibly notices the criminal acts committed by nobles.

“You should be punished, you bastards. ”

“Fried.”

“I'm sorry for the rudeness. But before that, I had to do this. ”

Frid shed a tear that he had endured.

It was only a drop, but his head fell without beating the weight.

“They're bad guys. But I don't have the power to do anything about them, so all I can do is insult them on behalf of Micah who's dead. So... uh, Mr.... ”

Growing from a boy to a young man, he couldn't cry like Raya and just swallowed up the profanity.

Igrett slowly bowed and wrapped his children around his arms. In a warm embrace, the two children cry out like baby birds in a nest.

He opened his mouth until they were tired of crying and fell asleep.

“Where did Micah sleep? ”

“... Sniff, under the wishbone tree. ”

Wish trees were planted together on the hinterland as they lived in this house.

The little tree, which was still tall and had twisted leaves, had a different seed name, but they called it the wishbone tree.

It was the name of the tree that had decided to hang the tree in small drops and put it on the branch when the wish arose. I don't know if my wish will be fulfilled, but it was the result of Micah's opinion that someone would listen to me and comfort me with a bubble.

Igret, who came to Micah buried under the wishtree, knelt before him.

The clothes that sat down long were swept away and dirty on the ground.

“I'm sorry.”

… Greg.

His psychological state was unknown to the children because of his bold expression, but he shared his emotions with the spirits and made a sad expression.

“If I cared a little more, you wouldn't have to be so sick. ”

Everything did. He was ruined, broken and twisted while he didn't care.

On a younger day, Igrett had stronger powers than anyone, but did not know how to use them. I could have kept it if I had the heart to keep it, but I wasn't able to take responsibility for everyone's life that way.

Once he helped, many people looked forward to more than that.

It was a normal psychology to walk someone who was running poorly, so that they wanted to stop, and they wanted to stop, so they wanted to sit down again, and if they wanted to sit down, they wanted them to lie down.

And if I had a place to lay down, I wanted a fluffy bed and a better place to go.

So he did not intervene in any more ways than in the immediate aftermath of the catastrophe.

The decision was followed by such sacrifices.

“I'm sorry, and thank you in the meantime. ”

The most regrettable thing at this time was that I didn't say thank you very much.

Maid no longer existed in the world to give thanks.

“I'm sorry... ”

He didn't cry. It was dangerous to explode emotions. So I swallowed it up inside. I thought I was getting used to it somewhat, but this time it was a little hard.

It's not your fault.

Hueung

Uni wraps his hand and slowly opens his fist. Gretchen's hand, which blamed herself more than anyone else, had red blood running over her torn wound.

Uni, with a small kiss on his hand, muttered sadly.

You know, Greg.

…….

Blame

Tony, who had no choice but to float in the air, came down in front of him. On the right, the blue spirit sits silently on one knee.

"We, how can you not be sick?

“ ……. ”

I hope you're happy. You don't get sad over time. I just learned to endure, to erase my face.

Kook

Carney, who stretched her redhead, hugs him from behind. Heat with warmth has been transmitted through the girl's arms.

I'm afraid I won't even know it hurts.

If we don't know it ourselves, we won't know it.

"Tell me what you want. You want me to kill those who make you miserable? Why don't you let them stand so high that no one can touch them?

“ ……. ”

Rooney, who was always overwhelmed, also reacted somewhat differently. All of this was evidence that Igrett's feelings were as unstable as those of a contractor.

Knowing that, Igrett shakes his head with only bitter eyes.

So, igrette.

As Uni prays for his hand, he whispers with both hands.

"Let me know. What can we do for you?

He didn't answer. I just closed my eyes quietly. The wishbone shook in the wind and wept with her.

‘Nothing.'

I don't want anything.

‘…… No, I don't need to do anything. ’

I already knew the answer myself without asking anyone else.

So Igrett chose silence.

“Yes? You're not... going? ”

The next day, of course, Frid, who thought he was going to ask about Micah's death, was dumb. Igrett replied as usual, gracefully combing Raya's cocoa hair and tying it together.

“Yes.”

“Mr. Igrett...? ”

As Fried stood with an incomprehensible expression, Greget sighed for a short moment and lifted his head.

“It is a declaration of war that I am troubled by their actions here. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“If you are in trouble, you will be held accountable soon. But if honor is so important, nobles will not be able to accept it easily. To get them to forgive me in this situation. ”

“ ……. ”

“I have no choice but to scare you with power, not conversation. Then there is no choice but to fight. To ask for money, but someone innocent, or so many lives at once, could be sacrificed. But if you want to find out the truth and ask for the price, you can. But, Fried, you know, I don't want to ask spirits to do that. ”

It was all right. He was a great creature who had four kings in the natural world, but his position within the Empire was just plain. If it was noble, it was quite rude to challenge another family and it could be spread by a big fight.

There is no way to demand factual identification from nobles in situations where the victim of the incident is a civil woman.

In the first place, the weight of life was different. There could be no obligation for nobles to apologize for the death of a commoner.

To make that possible, I was forced to use force beyond my identity.

If that were the case, only the larger victims would be expelled. The quarrel about nobility was meaningful, unlike the dispute between one and two people.

They are not just ‘nobles’. They represent the Empire and belong to a hierarchy that holds control according to the territory they own.

Of course, Fried knew that too.

“That's..... ”

But the boy's red eyes were distorted with confusion and sorrow.

“What's the point of all that...?... so many lives could be sacrificed? ”

In an instant, in a frozen atmosphere, Raya turns to them with anxious eyes.

“Igrett... Does everything look the same to you? The cost of those sons of bitches' lives and Mika's. Maybe me or Raya. The same level as the guard of the noble family who doesn't even know the face.... ”

“Fried.”

“... Yes. ”

Fried shut up. The sharp, bitter pain has been pressing my head.

Another name for the pain that felt familiar somewhere was' betrayal ’.

“It's not because it's the same. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm not trying to score. To me, you are precious children who cannot change anything. ”

“But why..... ”

Why aren't you angry?

Frid swallowed that horse inside. The purple pupils he faced were too calm to ask about his anger at loss.

That day, there was a crack in the sky like a boy's incontinence.
