30. Coming-of-age ceremony (9)

“Then, how about this? What is the intention and purpose of finding Angra?”

Elijah asked.

Balak replied.

“If I told you that, would you answer me?”

“It will depend on the Archduke’s answer.”

A purely political conversation, where the intentions of the other person are only questioned.

My conversation with my daughter, whom I hadn’t seen a few times a year, went like this.

That’s also shared on birthdays.

Balak was troubled.

Overthrow the Empire.

Can I tell you?

Elijah is a great wizard.

She will definitely surpass herself in the future.

If she becomes an ally, she will be more reassuring than anyone else.

But.

“That….”

Balak made up his mind.

“I can’t tell you.”

I don’t know what Elijah is trying to get from her by questioning him.

But I know her ultimate goal.

The ruin of the Bebel family.

I know her temper.

She wouldn’t accept a deal just because she told me the plan to overthrow the empire.

No, I would rather ruin the plan.

After she tells the truth to the imperial family, she may form an alliance with them.

That’s very likely.

Because Elijah hates even mixing eyes with the Bebel family.

She will stop at nothing for her goal.

In that case.

Should I turn around like this?

Aside from revealing the overthrow of the empire, is there no means to placate Elijah at all?

What information would be valuable to Elijah?

Judah.

Though it hurts, Balak had to admit Elijah’s favoritism.

But Balak knows nothing about Judah.

Maria.

The birth mother of Elijah.

She was the color and light of Elijah, and she was her resting place.

But, she really could she give that information.

No, no.

The conclusion that came after much thought was still the same.

Balak had nothing to give Elijah.

The grown-up daughter had everything she needed on her own.

It’s been too long to give her something as her father.

“… Is it so.”

Elijah did not interrogate.

She smiled leisurely, as if she knew it.

She was just calmly convinced of her own guess.

She is called the Second Coming of the Age of Myth.

If it was Ballack, she would have predicted its value earlier.

The clues are intertwined.

Ballack. Angra. Moonsingyo.

I put everything together and weave it together to make a conclusion.

Balak tried to kill himself using the Moonshine Church.

In order to eliminate threats from immediate children, other than themselves, at an early stage.

Once again, that fact was not lonely.

Such feelings were a luxury.

Even if leaves pile up in her heart, it doesn’t matter because the child is there.

I’ll get you out of the cage.

I looked at Balak’s expression for a moment.

A face full of guilt.

It was disgusting.

Elijah did not believe that he was truly guilty or felt responsible.

It wouldn’t even be acting.

I was more offended because I thought it was sincere.

An incompetent head of household who neglected his family.

She even failed to get rid of the dangerous illegitimate child, and now she has grown beyond her control.

She thinks it’s all her own fault, she scolds herself for being a sinner, and feels guilty, so isn’t she a bad father? You will think so.

The attribute of being “Kind” Is so frightening.

The moment you believe that you are good to a certain extent, you stop thinking about the rest.

Because goodness is right.

Elijah guessed Balak’s feelings that way.

It was unpleasant, but I didn’t show it.

“Okay.”

Elijah rose from her seat without having her own various assurances confirmed by her Balak.

Her silence is golden.

Her secrets should be as many as possible.

Because the imbalance of information creates a significant gap.

“Then. Negotiations are broken. Unfortunately.”

Leaving calmly with a soft smile.

Balak never told Elijah the truth.

*

Traditor Heis.

This is the name of the assassin who broke into Elijah’s birthday five years ago.

After a long period of time, Elijah figured out the identity.

A slave taken by Angra from Judecca.

His life before Giudecca was simple.

Abandoned immediately after birth, wandering the streets, kidnapped by a slave trader and admitted to Giudecca.

Angra, who took notice of him, bought it and freed her from slavery.

The price was an assassination.

The target is Elijah.

In other words, Tredito was a secret agent and assassin trained by the Moonsin Church.

Elijah was puzzled when she found out.

Why put yourself in Moonshinkyo?

The Taeyanggyo and the Wolshingyo are not on good terms. Although outwardly friendly.

Even considering the religious confrontation, it was strange that the target was himself.

Why?

It is right to trample on the sprouts of the enemy’s wizards.

However, it is a daunting task for the Moonsin Church to bear.

To get rid of Elijah, you have to take too many risks.

Is the death of Elijah as significant as the danger to the Church of the Moon?

That’s not true.

It is much better to invest money and time elsewhere.

Elijah added Narcissus’ testimony to these facts.

The Angra that Balak secretly communicated with.

The combined clues lead to an unequivocal conclusion.

Balak bought Angra.

Through the Moonsin Bridge, take a detour and kill Elijah.

Let Balak escape from the cause of the assassination.

The ultimate reason is, of course, to keep one’s own power in check.

To get rid of yourself as a threat to other immediate children.

It was Balak who decided that anyone would be admitted to the escort knight training center.

It was not in his plan from the beginning.

I wasn’t even surprised.

He merely solidified his hostility and ruminated on his goal.

The fall of the Bebel family.

It was obvious why Balak couldn’t tell the truth.

How can I tell you that I tried to kill you in front of the person in question?

I am no longer a weak child.

As a wizard and as a noble, he possessed that much power and power.

Balak had to respect and guard himself.

‘I didn’t need an answer anyway. Just by looking at the reaction, you can see the results.’

Angra’s location is being updated from time to time, and you can catch it if you want.

There are three reasons for neglect.

One, to keep an eye on what Angra and Balak are doing.

There is no physical evidence yet to prove the transaction between the two.

And two.

Angra is also the person who brought Judas out of Judecca.

How to deal with him yet.

I couldn’t decide what to say to Judas.

The last three.

Just as I accidentally discovered the connection between black magic and the imperial family from the information guild, Angra may also be related to black magic.

It is possible that Judas’ memories were erased with black magic.

Nothing is certain, so I’m crouching down first.

Judah. Angra. Giudecca.

A traffic line that overlaps with Tredito.

At one time Elijah was suspicious of Judas.

Just a moment.

I just deleted it.

Tredito has been with Angra for a long time.

We also secured a record of training in the land of the Moonsin Church.

The evidence was clear.

On the other hand, Judah did not stay long with Angra.

After leaving Giudecca, it was sold to another place.

Also, the timing is different.

Angra freed Tredito from Giudecca half a year before Judas.

There has been no assassin since Tredito.

Now that the mad power of fire has fully awakened, Balak will give up and look for another way.

For one reason or another, Judas is a trustworthy man.

‘Must… That’s not the only reason.’

Elijah establishes one of her central standards when it is difficult to judge.

Verifiable facts.

An unlikely guess.

Separates information into two parts.

Judah is connected to Angra.

Angra sent an assassin to kill her.

This is true.

Yuda, too, might be the same person as Angra.

This is speculation.

Judah came looking for him.

She acted like she hated herself, intrigued her unluckily, and they went through several incidents together.

A few times then, Judas saved himself.

If he’s an assassin then he shouldn’t have been.

Even Judas almost died because of him.

All of these are verifiable facts.

Therefore, it doesn’t make sense for Judas to be an assassin.

It’s a contradiction.

I returned to the hall of Elijahya Temple after having a private meeting with Balak.

Spacious space.

Golden lighting. Red carpet.

A colorful and beautiful noble lady and young man dance and laugh.

To Elijah, it was just gray.

Colorless space.

The only one there, golden eyes shining in chromatic colors….

It shines alone like the sun in the night sky.

Elijah hesitated as he approached her own escort, her Judas.

‘… Who is that?’

A woman in a green dress was in front of Judas.

***

Waiting for Elijah.

“Hey….”

A woman approached me.

I looked around and asked.

“Me?”

“Yes, yes! You are Yuda, right?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes, that’s right…. Who are you?”

“Ah!”

Oops! It’s the look I want.

She gracefully holds a wine glass in one hand, and lightly holds the hem of her skirt with her other hand.

She bowed gracefully, lowering her knees a little.

“The introduction is late. It is said to be the Anun of the Fraudane family.”

Fraudane?

I know which family it is.

It was only then that I took a closer look at her appearance.

Dark green eyes.

Bright red hair that also looks like orange.

‘Is it Sir Gawain’s family?’

The full name of my teacher, Gawain.

Gawain Galahad Fradan.

I heard that Galahad was the name of Gawain’s teacher.

She added it as a middle name out of respect.

“Sir Gawain, whom Juda-sama knows well, is my uncle.”

“It was your nephew. Nice to meet you.”

Just then, a huge man approached Annun from behind.

It was Gawain.

“Uncle!”

“Hmm. Did you say hello well?”

“hehehe…. Not yet….”

I just stared at the two of them.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

“Judas. As you may have heard, this is called Anun. She’s my niece I wanted to introduce myself when I had the opportunity, but today seems to be the right time.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Since he was officially appointed as an escort knight, shouldn’t he be properly positioned? It doesn’t seem like you’re still sure with the lady….”

“… ?”

Annun smiled shyly.

“I heard a lot about you from my uncle.”

“Are you talking about me?”

“Annun. Stop talking nonsense.”

Eolssigu.

Pretend it wasn’t like that, but behind my back, I guess you went around praising me?

Anun smiled and spoke softly.

“Because you are always so shy. I’ll talk to you later.”

Then she laughs shyly.

“So, if you’re not rude, dance with me separately…” .”

“There.”

That moment.

A cold, subdued voice interrupted.

The three of us froze as if ice water had been poured on them.

Unlike the subdued voice, it feels like hot heat.

Instinctively feel the threat to life.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I was very nervous.

When I stiffly turned my head, Elijah was there.

Elijah left saying she had something to say to Balak.

‘Why is he like that….’

The eyes of Elijah… It shimmered with the color of mad fire.

“What happened?”

Elijah walked slowly.

Ttogak, Ttogak.

Every time the heel of her shoe hit the floor, her body twitched.

“Sir Gawain?”

“Yes, yes! Miss….”

I’ve never seen Gawain so nervous.

“This way?”

“Ah, Anun, Fraudane…. This is me, my niece….”

Elijah stared at Annun quietly.

Looks like digging into people.

Annun felt her complexion turn blue.

I think I might faint.

It’s not like that, but I’m embarrassed too.

Why are you like this…. Scared….

“Ah, Anun, Fraudane, it is…. Elijah, it’s an honor to meet you….”

Elijah’s gaze moved to me.

The pupils glowing in golden color look up.

‘What, why…. Why are you doing this to me….’

As if disgruntled, Elijah crossed his arms and looked back and forth between Anun and Gawain.

“So, what is it?”

Gawain replied.

“No big deal. I just wanted to congratulate Judas on his swearing-in and say hello to my family for a moment….”

“Is that all?”

Elijah saw Anun.

Annun nodded her head vigorously.

It’s so fast that it leaves an afterimage.

“Okay then.”

Elijah untied her arms and passed me by. She

Didn’t tell me to follow her, but somehow she seems to follow me.

I bowed my head to Gawain and Annun and followed Elijah.

“I thought it was long, but maybe I was lacking in tact….”

As they left, Gawain’s murmur dissipated.

It was small and I couldn’t hear it well because it was far away.

I just quietly followed Elijah.

The atmosphere is strange.

‘Why do I feel like I’m being scolded… ?’

Did I scold you?

No….

“Me, lady?”

I called her walking ahead of her.

Elijah answered without looking back.

“Yes.”

“That… Are you angry?”

“No?”

“Are you uncomfortable because you didn’t like the conversation with Archduke Balak?”

“Not really…. It was an expected result, so it was just that. Why are you asking?”

“Yeah….”

Because you look strangely angry right now.

“… Everyone is looking at me with strange eyes. Why are you doing that?”

“My lady. Snow now… It has changed like when you use magic.”

“… I?”

Elijah looked around.

She even touched her eyes a few times.

Can you see your eyes?

Looks back at me.

“Even now?”

“Yes.”

Suddenly, she comes closer.

A stride, unstoppable gait.

Close up and grab my face with both hands.

Then pull it toward your face.

“Me, yeah?! What is this… !”

“Stay still.”

Can you stay still?!

“Wait a minute, week, there are people around…” .”

“Be calm before tying me up.”

Elijah lifted her tiptoe slightly, pulling the face she was holding onto back toward her own face.

Her face.

Big eyes, a sleek and pointed nose, and red, plump lips.

It came close to me very quickly.

As if they would collide.
