‘Huh? Lady Victoria is giving such unconditional support???’

Eugene was deeply concerned about how to actually deal with Antoine and how to revert Mina, who had become a demon king.

However, it was difficult to confide those worries to his adoptive mother, Marianne, or Jeanne.

This is because they are also under a lot of stress because of Antoine, even if they don’t show it.

In the midst of this, Victoria, whom he considered a colleague and friend who had fought alongside him on the battlefield, returned, so

Eugene Schneider confided in her frankly, without much expectation.

However, what came back was an unexpected and enthusiastic response from Victoria,

Eugene Schneider was embarrassed.

“Ah, well, it’s not that I have a great reason for saying this. Please think of it as a kind of blessing.”

As a result, Eugene’s expression was clearly visible.

So Victoria also reacted as if to gloss over it.

‘Hmm… Saying it like that makes it even more suspicious…’

Victoria, who is so thorough, is giving a blessing,

Eugene Schneider couldn’t help but wonder even more inwardly.

‘Still, staying in the Imperial Palace has unexpected benefits.’

Eugene Schneider, who had been given a great task by Emperor Vivian, worked very hard to find a solution.

Then, he came across an unexpected method,

‘The Imperial Library really has all sorts of materials!’

It was to utilize the Imperial Library.

‘Because of the chaotic situation, I can freely view even these forbidden books under the authority of Her Majesty the Emperor.’

Of course, the information Eugene Schneider seeks is extremely unorthodox, so it is difficult to obtain quality information even from most ancient books.

However, the Imperial Library had content that was clearly differentiated from general large libraries,

That was the fact that it kept forbidden books.

Among the forbidden books full of foreign books, there must be something that would help Eugene.

Therefore, originally, the procedure for opening forbidden books is complicated, but

Because the situation was chaotic and the Holy See and the Imperial Family entered a cold war, Vivian was able to grant Eugene access without difficulty.

‘Damn it, what kind of letters are these again…’

However, Eugene Schneider had an unexpected obstacle.

As they were old foreign books, many were in ancient languages of other countries or other races.

Still, there were some with footnotes, so he was diligently looking at them, but when he encountered a book that was not properly organized, Eugene Schneider frowned for a moment.

“Um, Mother, I don’t think I can read this book? It’s full of letters I can’t understand at all.”

But there’s no way Eugene wouldn’t have known this in advance, unless he was a complete idiot.

That’s why he had made sufficient preparations.

What was that preparation! It was to bring along his very intelligent adoptive mother, Marianne Dessel Oublié.

Eugene Schneider requested help from Marianne, who had been separately engrossed in ancient books in front of him.

“It’s the language of the dwarves. It’s an language in which footnote work is inevitably difficult.”

Marianne responded lovingly to her beloved adoptive son’s request for help.

She received the book with kindness and elegance and examined it carefully,

And immediately explained which race’s language it was.

“This book doesn’t seem to be of much help to you, Eugene. It’s a typical dwarven magic book.”

“Ah, I see, Mother!”

Marianne Dessel Oublié is fundamentally a very intelligent woman,

In that state, she learned various languages after encountering other cultures during her time as a nun and after her marriage.

Moreover, the early teacher of the genius magician Elizabeth was none other than her mother, Marianne.

She directly studied magic book theory up to the intermediate level to satisfy her beloved daughter’s curiosity.

Therefore, when Marianne heard Eugene say that he needed to obtain information through forbidden books, she volunteered to help, and as a result, she is providing such dedicated support for her beloved adopted son.

‘So intellectual, kind, and dignified… Duchess…’

Eugene Schneider couldn’t help but admire his adoptive mother as he watched her briefly explain dwarven magic to him.

All the beauty that can be felt in a mature woman was emanating from her at this moment.

Intelligent, kind, and full of stability, and her deep and dignified appearance blended more than 200% perfectly with the magnificent and splendid interior of the Imperial Library.

‘That’s why it’s even more unfortunate…’

Because she is so beautiful. Because she is such a perfect woman, Eugene Schneider’s heart was filled with pity for her.

‘Antoine, you son of a bitch…’

It’s because of Antoine, a moron who committed crazy acts despite having the world’s best woman by his side.

Sexless couple? Good. Sexless couples were common in Eugene Schneider’s previous life as well.

Of course, it’s abnormal not to have sexual desire for an alpha female like Marianne, but that means the maximum amount of concession is possible.

But committing treason, virtually breaking up the family, and screwing over Marianne, what the hell kind of situation is that?

‘The Duchess’s efforts to not show her distress in front of Jeanne and me are even more heartbreaking.’

It was a disgrace. Antoine and Marianne’s confrontation at the Emperor’s coronation was clearly a disgrace for Marianne, as it shattered her pride as a good wife and mother.

How could Marianne have had no complaints about Antoine until now? It was just her effort to raise her children in a stable and harmonious family.

However, due to her shitty husband, she had no choice but to stand up for her children and prevent them from falling into danger.

After that, her heart must have been running to the extreme of turmoil.

However, in front of Jeanne and Eugene, Marianne fulfilled her role as a mother as usual.

However, because of that appearance, filial son Eugene Schneider hates Antoine even more.

“This mother is okay, my baby.”

Smile…!

At that moment, benevolent mother Marianne comforted Eugene Schneider with a goddess-like smile on her face.

She also knows that her beloved adopted son is worried about her.

“Yes, this mother wanted to build a harmonious family. As a woman who supports an excellent husband, I wanted to give stability to the family and see you, my loved ones, grow up in that family. It’s true that I feel bitter because that seems impossible now.”

Marianne’s parenting philosophy is that communication between parents and children is always important.

Therefore, she showed her adopted son, Eugene Schneider, her inner thoughts, which could be said to be a flaw.

“But after spending a lot of time with the people in the past few years and getting to know their lives up close, I’ve come to have a different perspective.”

“A different perspective, Mother? What is it?”

The reason that is possible is because Marianne has gained a new perspective.

“Is the image of a family that I drew really a happy and best image of a family? There are so many images of families in the world. Even in the midst of various difficulties, happiness that cannot be expressed blooms in the way they rely on and cherish each other…”

During her time as a nun, Marianne was promoted so quickly that she performed many secret missions rather than saving the people at the front lines.

In other words, the work of treating the sick and providing food began after her marriage, specifically when her eldest daughter Charlotte reached puberty.

Marianne worked very hard in the relief activities that started that way.

Because of the satisfaction of saving and caring for the people? Of course, that accounted for a large part, but that was not all. She learned the depth of human life through them.

“I have you, Eugene. My youngest daughter, who looks cold but loves her family deeply in her heart, my second daughter, who is clumsy but has a warmer heart than anyone else, my eldest daughter, who is more reliable and trustworthy than me,”

Therefore, rather than drawing something ideal in her head, Marianne learned to look at the beauty of the life she is living with now.

As a result, even in the situation where her husband was doing a shitty troll act, she was able to get up like an Othello doll and feel the treasures around her.

That’s why Marianne was able to step forward without hesitation for her children in the confrontation with Antoine.

“Most of all, our son. Our son, Eugene Schneider, who I was so worried about when he was young, but now he has grown up to be so reliable, handsome, and wonderful. This mother will work hard to live happily with you in the future.”

Squeeze…!

In particular, Eugene Schneider, Marianne felt that Antoine’s blade was aimed at Eugene Schneider.

Afterwards, she became even more convinced after hearing that Eugene’s origins and mixed-race keywords had spread to the Holy See.

Cannot be tolerated.

Marianne, whose extreme maternal love has been triggered, will definitely protect her adopted son, Eugene Schneider, who is not related by blood.

Marianne took Eugene’s hand on the library desk with a feeling of earnest determination.

“Me too, Mother! To protect our family! So, to protect my mother, sister! And to be strong to protect my older sisters and be happy together for a long time! I will definitely find the answer!”

Squeeze!

Eugene also held Marianne’s hand.

And Eugene Schneider’s face was filled with a sincere and bright smile.

From his point of view, it is a truly reassuring appearance of his adoptive mother Marianne.

If it is Marianne, who has a devoted housewife orientation, I wonder if she would have relied on Antoine a lot.

Therefore, Eugene Schneider was worried that Marianne might be struggling with the resulting panic and emptiness.

However, more than Eugene himself thought, his adoptive mother Marianne seems to have great trust and reliance on her adopted son.

That’s why a very positive sense of responsibility is welling up in him.

Whoooooooo! Buaaaaaaaaaaak! Whoooooooo!

Eugene Schneider, who began to burn with a sense of responsibility, wielded a greatsword in the Imperial training ground at night with his upper body undressed.

‘A fatal psychological stimulus… What level does it have to be to be called a fatal psychological stimulus?’

At the same time, his expression was quite serious,

The reason is that he gained a little clue by working hard with Marianne, but it was overly abstract information.

Unexpectedly, while skimming through foreign books related to dwarves, the story of the seed of the Dark Great Swordsman came up.

This was because the dwarves had procured a lot of equipment from the demon swordsmen and accumulated various cases as a result.

‘Mina didn’t feel any particular stimulation even after becoming a demon king and confronting Antoine like that…’

The seed of the Dark Great Swordsman grows by eating the extreme psychological agony, confusion, and anger of humans,

Eugene had experienced various psychological stimuli for about 10 days, but the seed of the Dark Great Swordsman in his body was silent.

‘Damn it, am I supposed to hurt myself or something?’

ㅡWhoooooooo! Buaaaaaaaaaaak! Buaaaaaaaaaaak!!

So, in order to abuse his body, he was increasing the intensity of his training and doing this at night.

To such Eugene Schneider,

“You were here, Great Swordsman Eugene.”

A voice with an unusual atmosphere was heard.
