episode_0063

Entering the city, Arthur could see familiar scenery and realized that he was almost close to the village.

“Now all I have to do is find the village chief.”

To return to the village, you need to take a carriage, and you can get a carriage from the village chief who is doing business in the market.

Arthur, anxious to get back quickly, headed to the market without delay, and followed the path where the village chief always did business.

“Village Chief!”

Fortunately, it wasn’t a day off, so Arthur was able to find the village chief and greeted him with a bright expression.

“Could it be Arthur?”

The village chief, who immediately recognized Arthur’s face, approached Arthur with a happy expression.

“Your face has become half gone since I last saw you.. First of all, welcome back. Arthur.”

“Yes!”

The village chief smiled broadly at Arthur’s cheerful answer and began to tidy up the shop while asking Arthur how he was doing at the academy.

“How was your time at the Academy?”

“I’ve been living an ordinary life.”

“Was studying worth it?”

“You know I’m good at studying, right?”

“You’ve been smart since you were little, so I’m glad you’re doing well.”

Stupid village chief.

I told him I wouldn’t be able to come to town until I graduated, and if I went there and asked him if there was a problem, it would have been difficult.

Well, there’s no way you’ll remember what I’m saying.

Because it’s obvious that he’s looking down on me inside.

Well, if I just get through the last question, I can go to the village.

“By the way, where is Alice?”

As expected. The village chief would never have guessed that I would be separated from Alice.

Because I probably thought of her as a parasite that always stayed by Alice’s side.

“Ah.. He said he had to stop by the Adventurer’s Guild for a bit, so I told him to go back to the village with the village chief first. He said he’d be there soon anyway.”

“Even though she went to the academy, Aris hasn’t changed. She’s so full of energy…”

Arthur was able to easily trick the village chief without much trouble, and while continuing the idle conversation, he naturally boarded the village chief’s carriage.

“It’ll take some time to get to the village, so get some sleep, Arthur. The journey here must have been arduous.”

“Yes.. Thank you, Chief.”

The village chief’s words were filled with genuine consideration, but Arthur, despite his outward expression of gratitude, was inwardly mocking the village chief.

Do you think I can fool you?

I’m sick of hypocrisy now.

You must have been pretending to be kind to me every time to fill up your self-esteem.

Stupid old man.

Keep acting like that.

I’ll test how far you can go in hypocrisy.

Arthur, who was staring at the back of the head of the village chief who was pulling the carriage, gave in to the drowsiness that was creeping upon him.

… … …

“Now that you’ve arrived, wake up. Arthur.”

Arthur woke up to the voice of the village chief calling out while knocking on the carriage. He rubbed his eyes and looked around in a half-asleep state.

“Huh.. Huh?”

“They say they parked the carriage in front of Milia’s house so that it would be easier to walk.”

This stupid old man..!

I wanted to go home secretly without anyone knowing, but you just brought me in front of Milia’s house?

If I get caught like this, my plan to feed Alice shit and then die might go awry.

Arthur, who didn’t want anything to go wrong with his plans, decided that he had to get home before Millia found out.

After quickly getting off the carriage, he bowed his head toward the village chief.

“Thank you for burning it, Chief.”

You’re trying to ruin my plans.

When I die, I will curse you too.

“Now that you’ve said hello, let’s go in.”

For a moment, I stood there blankly, watching the back of the village chief as he coolly held the reins and turned around.

First of all, Arthur was really tired from the trip today, so he decided to rest first and walked slowly to his house.

“Arthur? It’s Arthur, right?”

ah.

It’s an unforgettable voice.

Because there is no way that anyone would forget the voice of the person who took care of them when they were young.

“I heard the sound of a carriage outside.”

It was for a trivial reason.

They caught me coming back just because of the sound of a carriage.

If the village chief had dropped me off in front of my house, we would never have met.

You must have come to Milia’s house because you don’t even know where my house is. You stupid bitch.

“Where is Aris? I thought you’d show up at home first.”

Arthur was so busy cursing the village chief inwardly that he didn’t notice Millia approaching.

When the image of Milia suddenly appeared before my eyes and overlapped with that of Aris, I felt my stomach churn.

“Are you okay? Let me see your face for a second, Arthur.”

scary.

White hair too.

That face too.

I’m sure they came out to harass me.

“Ugh… gasp…”

My head feels dizzy and my vision is blurry.

Now, Milia’s face had almost disappeared, and only Aris’s face was visible.

“Ugh… No, let go of this…”

Burr, I have to get out.

I am not a toy.

No. I don’t like it. I said no.

“Why is that, why are you sweating like this?”

“Okay, I was wrong.. Just go home.. Just send me home..”

dump.

Since Arthur’s condition did not look good, Milia released the shoulder she was holding, and Arthur’s body fell to the floor without strength.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

In response to Arthur’s reaction, Milia simply bent her knees, met his gaze, and asked him kindly.

Even that was terrifying to Arthur, who saw Millia as Alice.

“Eek..! Hey, save me. Hillia!!”

Arthur, covering his eyes with his left hand, called out to Hilia urgently.

Although Hillia hadn’t spoken to Arthur recently, she had always stood by his side and looked at him.

In this situation, the only person Arthur could ask for help was Hilia.

“Hilia? Arthur? What the hell happened..”

Please save me quickly, Hilia.

Please save me just one more time.

It’s not a difficult request.

Just send me home.

I won’t even think about revenge…

Arthur trembled all over and begged desperately, but no matter how much time passed, Hillia did not save Arthur.

The moment when Milia, sensing that Arthur’s condition was becoming increasingly serious, had no choice but to grab Arthur’s arm to calm him down.

Arthur was about to see the face of the person he feared the most.

“shi, I hate it-!!!!”

Arthur screamed so loudly that he lost consciousness from the terror that consumed him.

… … …

When Arthur opened his eyes, he was greeted by a familiar ceiling.

I slowly got up from my bed, looking at the ceiling of my room that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

When he turned his head, his eyes met with Milia’s, who was sitting next to him and watching him.

“Ah..”

“Arthur, are you okay now? I was so surprised when you suddenly fainted yesterday..”

Milia was still worried about Arthur’s condition, but Arthur, who had no idea how to respond, remained silent.

“Can you tell me what happened? I’ll definitely help you, Arthur. We’re family.”

family?

That’s funny.

You just took me in out of shallow sympathy.

“Huh? When times are tough, family is supposed to help each other out.”

lie.

You’re going to help me?

Can you really say that even after hearing the truth?

“Are you sure you can help me?”

Arthur, whose mind changed after seeing Millia, revised his plans.

Originally, he planned to write down all the things that Alice would do in his will, then write a curse and commit suicide.

Because I thought that Aris’s family would go bankrupt.

Of course, considering what Alice had done, it was not enough to call it revenge, but this was all Arthur, weak and useless, could do.

“Will you really believe me..?”

“If I don’t trust you, who can I trust? If it’s hard, you can tell me slowly. Can you tell me step by step?”

I became greedy.

I wanted to see with my own eyes that Alice was unhappy.

I was afraid of retaliation, but it was unfair.

It’s not okay for me to be the only one sick.

I lost everything, so you have to lose something too.

“I quit the academy.”

“Was your academy life hard? It’s okay, Arthur. If it gets hard, you can quit whenever you want. No one will tell you anything, right?”

“That, and actually I was trying to die..”

Why did I try to die?

Take a guess, Millia.

But I’ll never get it right.

“You must have had a hard time. Didn’t Aris help you? There’s no way Aris didn’t know you were having a hard time.”

“Ah, Alice?”

Is Alice going to help me?

There’s no way you didn’t know I was having a hard time?

Milia really doesn’t know anything.

What kind of person is your daughter?

“I’m sorry, Arthur. You fought with Alice, right? Alice probably didn’t know you’d be in this much trouble. I’ll give Alice a good scolding-”

“No.”

When Millia was alone and misunderstood, Arthur cut her off and told her everything that had happened.

After my first experience, I was treated more and more violently, and soon after, I was gang raped by strangers.

And that Aris ordered the rape, and that in the end, she sexually assaulted him until he was on the verge of death, and when it seemed like he was really going to die, she revived him with a potion and continued the horrible acts.

As Arthur continued his story, Millia looked incredulous, but Arthur paid no attention and continued to tell the whole story, shedding tears of his own as his emotions grew stronger.

“Really? There’s no way… Isris really doing that to Arthur…”

Perhaps it’s because Alice gave birth to her own child.

You don’t completely believe me.

“Is there really no possibility that there is some kind of misunderstanding between the two of you?”

misunderstanding?

There’s no way it could be a misunderstanding.

“I’m sorry.. I didn’t want to believe it either, but Alice was sincere.”

“Please, Arthur. Can you think about it again? I’m the kid who always sings that I love you..”

“Love? I thought it was real too.. but it was all a lie.”

“Do you know what he said to me? He said he never loved a disabled person like me from the beginning. He just acted appropriately because he didn’t want to disappoint his parents.”

“There might have been some circumstances..”

“That won’t happen. Or do you not want to believe that your daughter did it?”

Even Milia was speechless at Arthur’s determined appearance.

Millia had to convince Arthur that Aris was not that kind of person, but no matter how hard she looked, there was no answer.

Now even Milia had to admit it.

That I raised my daughter wrong.

And because of that daughter, an already unfortunate child had to go through a terrible experience.

“I’m sorry, Arthur. I raised my daughter wrong.”

“It’s okay. You didn’t know, Millia. I’m just grateful that you believed my story.”

“…Is there anything I can help you with?”

Finally, the small sword hilt was in Arthur’s hand.
