Egret

As the other maid who guided her closes the door, the girl begins to tremble less and less.

“ ……. ”

Sage stares at her with a grumpy eye, but even that gaze is so frightening that she doesn't notice.

It was a short cut without chewing gum, but it was a pretty green color that seemed watery after picking up fresh grass.

The color was similar to the Wind Spirit Uni that Judas dealt with.

A clear tear began to rise above the girl's big, clear brown pupils.

Judas takes a short sigh and takes off his clothes, looking back at her, terrified, even though she hasn't done anything yet.

Pearl!

“ ……! ”

A warm, warm coat sat down on the shoulder of the startling girl.

Judas smiles with an apologetic expression in the eyes of the girl with a twinkling head.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. ”

A girl in a thin slip around her coat, he steps back to reassure his opponent.

Unlike the voices full of vanity I heard when I spoke with the Count, the girl's gaze shook in a sweet manner.

“I am a member of the imperial family who came to see and hear the lives of many people. I came here because there are afflicted people in the land. I cannot be more peaceful and affluent after hearing the word of the Lord. It is hard to know what happened at the beginning. ”

“Tuesday, the Imperial..... ”

The green-haired girl imitated him with a trembling voice.

Judas nods softly, and she gives a conflicting young look.

It was not well judged whether to believe what he said or whether he would get caught in the wrong cockpit and get caught in the media.

Then I heard a small knock in their room.

“ ……! ”

“Come in."

Unlike the girl who had her coat tightly wrapped around her shoulders in surprise, Judas gave her permission to enter.

It was Edan and Baikal who came in politely with the door open.

They kneeled before Judas and reported the situation.

“Earl's troops are primarily spearheads and archers, and the number of incapacitators, including magic, has been found to be small. ”

“The number of soldiers currently living in the mansion is estimated to be approximately fifty. Well, the author is also..... You think he cared about his own security? They deployed troops all over the place to guard them. Yeah, well, I guess you're busy watching my feet because you did something wrong. ”

Baikal shrugged his shoulders and finished reporting.

Even after becoming a pro-crisis division, Baikal wasn't so hard on Judas.

I didn't cross the line, but I didn't follow the manners of a thief like Ethan.

It was an expression of intimacy that Baikal seemed to have an honest personality.

Judas was willing to accept the appeal because it was also his advantage.

“Brother..... ”

Now that Sage had grasped his ribs for what he was trying to do, Judas nodded his head and gave him a side look.

The girl stands in Odokani's room and stares at them.

“My name is Judas. What about you?”

“…… Car, collar. ”

“Collar, it's like my favorite flower name. Yes. Can you help us? ”

As the golden veil of warmth turned towards her, Carla empowered the palm of her coat.

It smelled good on the coat over my shoulder.

Immediately, she nodded her head with a sinister expression.

“What can I do……! ”

“Tell me a story. ”

“Yes?”

“Collar, what you saw, what you heard. About what happened here. ”

Edan and Baikal also got up and prepared to hear the story.

Everyone in the room was listening to his story.

In fact, Carla was tearing her eyes out for some reason.

“My father was a spiritist..... ”

The cracked voice of a dry girl began to fill the room.

“My father's spirit is the spirit of the land. My mom and I never saw it in person, but I could see that the fruit tree grows well thanks to his help. ”

What followed was the same information that Uni brought.

Unlike Judas, who was still listening, Sage clenched his fist with a shocked face.

“How could an empire nobleman do such a thing! ”

“…… This is our life. You don't want to care about the lives of ordinary people.. ”

As she spoke, she was overwhelmed by her feelings and shed tears.

“My father, my mother, who died unfairly. If you can loosen it as much as you want, even if you can't get revenge. ”

“Wanted?”

“He couldn't feel his eyes comfortably until the day he left. Constantly cursing, cursing again and then stop..... ”

And the spirit of the land hovering around him heard his wish.

The spirit who had no great power, liked to take care of trees, and helped bring forth big, sweet fruits, swirled only around the contractor.

The Spirit who heard the last wish of the contractor who died bleeding unfairly remembered it.

At last, when the contractor's breath was broken, the spirit of the beautiful land suddenly fell black.

“I'm sure the spirit remembers my father's curse. But you shouldn't. Because there are only people who suffer like our family. So.”

Carla petitioned a little.

“…… Help me. ”

If it had been the same, it was unimaginable rudeness for a commoner to dare ask a nobleman.

Because of the warm warmth that covered her shoulders, Carla grabbed the warmth with her hands, knowing she was not bothered.

I couldn't fall down anymore anyway.

As I grew up and went miserably to the Count's toy, I thought it would not be bad for my neck to fly.

She believed in the future that was unfolding before her immediately rather than believing in the guests in front of her eyes.

So I petitioned.

“Please. Imperial lords. I'll do whatever I can. If you want, I'll give you everything, body or mind. ”

Judas listens to the girl's petition with a gloomy expression.

Seeing a clean golden pupil without wavering a word, Carla closes her mouth in fear.

"I'm not one to shake my feelings. This man is also noble..... So what do I do now? ’

There was nothing more I could do as a collar working as a maid without having one.

In fact, she didn't meet any of the officials who had been on the lookout.

However, there was no law to punish him for what the Count had done to the inhabitants.

Moreover, the Count knew cunningly how to hide his sins.

Everything was thoroughly returned to the sins of the common man, and all the sacrifices and women he coveted came into his grasp.

Apparently, it was a territory that was rolling smoothly, and there was no reason to punish the Count who cried out that he had no money to pay taxes because he was harvesting the poor people.

The same will be true of this inspection.

Carla, who had been shaken by the warmth Judas had shown for a while, quickly conceived.

At that time, the biker who saw the sniffing collar muttered as he scratched his throat.

“Well, I have something to see. To the one who doesn't even look at the beautiful women in the Empire. ”

Then Ethan immediately gave him a cool look.

“…… Baikal. ”

“Yeah, I'll keep my mouth shut. ”

Now that I'm familiar with Edan's restraints, Baikal just shrugs.

I spit it out like a joke, but it was true.

There were many women approaching Judas in the next monastery.

I have sent beautiful women to seek the honor of the Crown Prince's mercy from many noble families.

Wherever I went, whether I approached openly or masqueraded as a coincidence, the beautiful women reached out to him with a touch of seduction.

However, Judas did not choose the emperor's compassion at the age of seventeen, nor did he allow the scandal to burn with enthusiasm overnight.

You didn't have to get in the rain because you're not a little old yet, but it was another problem not to see a woman.

Judas, who remembered his former life, who had originally enjoyed more than ninety years, could not see children like his granddaughter as women, but the servants who bore him secretly gave him the attention of concern.

Carla, who had no immediate knowledge of the situation, alternated between grumbling Baikal and sighing Edan with a curious expression.

Judas, a stubborn father-in-law, slowly opened his mouth with his chin up.

“I have no intention of avenging you and your parents. ”

“ ……. ”

Carla, who is already awake, snows down.

The teardrops on the long lashes fell to the ground.

However, she lifted her head in amazement at the words that followed.

“I don't even intend to close my eyes to pretending I don't know a sinner. ”

“ ……! ”

“I intend to have him punished in accordance with due process. I need your help to do that, Carla. ”

Carla still thought with a glimmer of gold.

‘...... I'm not shaken by sentiment. This is..... ’

“Will you help me?”

“Yes!"

She replied without hesitation.

‘I haven't shaken anything since the beginning. ’

Hope, which I gave up with a late-recognized will, swells again into a girl's heart.

‘Only to hear about us. ’

I didn't know exactly who Judas was, but at least I felt that he was inherently different from the scouts who passed through this Raven territory.

It was to listen to the stories of all those who had suffered, to look at the situation and to deliberately identify her in a place for hospitality, at a mansion that could just pass by.

I didn't know how soft and strong the light contained in his gold could shine.

Perhaps even that light would collapse under the evil tricks of the Count.

Still, Carla kneels with all her heart in front of him.

“Thank you. Thank you very much, Sire. ”

Sitting on one knee in front of an elongated girl, Judas holds onto her shoulder and stops.

“I'm sorry I couldn't find out sooner. ”

“Suck, huff. ”

The fourteen-year-old girl, who lost her parents and had to endure the cocoa alone, burst into tears that were now blocked.

I endured four seasons. The crying that burst did not stop all night.

The next day Judas met the Earl again as soon as the day dawned.

As always, the Earl who treated the guest smiled satisfactorily as he saw Judas stretching his admiration for him.

Starting in the morning, the Earl, who had been filled with precious fruits and various breads, cakes, seasoned bacon, yogurt and fresh fruit juice, was told that he had not been able to watch properly, and he rolled his tongue and put on his coat.

“Follow me. I'll let you taste the true value of Raven here. ”
