Isabel was on the verge of bursting into tears.

Now I understand. He is physically the same age as me. Fifteen to sixteen years old. I have just become an adult. I am at an age where I will be passionate, emotional, and pure no matter what I do.

“I wondered why he looked so childlike.”

“Am I funny?!”

“That’s not true. That’s just the way it is.”

Jewel-like green eyes avoid my gaze.

‘···I’m bored.’

I took a piece of alcohol and shoved it into my mouth. The sugar content was so high that the fermented liquor fruit was quite bitter.

“You can go back.”

Only then did Isabel’s eyes turn to me.

“We will find a suitable case and trade you as a hostage or prisoner of Yunaira.”

“···I revealed my identity. Now, revenge will come beyond the wall.”

I could understand the implied meaning.

It meant that this person gave up his dreams and safety for me.

“Why is revenge targeting the royal family?

“That’s what I want to know most.”

Yes, I guess so. I asked something pointless.

Before I knew it, Isabelle was looking at me intently.

“···What on earth is Dewin?”

‘Should I tell you?’

Even if I tell you about my identity, it will only make things uncomfortable.

However, this is an answer that can be easily obtained if the other person deduces. The white wolf being so friendly and the magic tower lord visiting regularly every month.

In that case, it wasn’t a bad idea to reveal it with my own mouth.

“I am Dantalian’s agent.”

Isabel did not look surprised.

Perhaps it was an answer he had already guessed, but he just burst out laughing.

“Hehe… It’s an absurd truth.”

“I want to send you back safely. But I need to hear some answers first and get a promise.”

“What is it?”

“What is your relationship with Jean de Arthur?”

This is the most important.

What is the relationship between my sister and Isabel? I wonder if something happened to my father.

“Arthur…is my friend.”

“Where did you meet?”

“At the place where the former knight commander, a friend of Edward’s brother, brought Jean.”

“Why did you become friends?”

“For me—! Because of something I didn’t even know about, I was falsely accused and nicknamed an illegitimate child───! Because of this black hair color────! 15 years…!”

Am I feeling angry?

Isabelle began to shed tears.

“For 15 years… I only had Arthur and Lyanna…! Why…!”

Now I understand. I guess the reason I went to the security station was because I had no one but Jean to complain to. I was able to become friends with Jean because he was an outsider.

Isabel wipes away tears roughly.

“It hurts my face.”

widely!

The outstretched handkerchief hits Isabel’s hand and flies away. The eyes were poisonous.

“Don’t try to play tricks on me!”

“I have never done that before. You were the one who did the trick.”

Isabel’s tears hardened to the point where she stopped. Eventually, he lowered his gaze with a self-deprecation that I could recognize.

“···I really only had two. I gave everything to them both. As if I was being sold, I became engaged to a perverted prince of the Romaria Empire… I had to hide from revenge, but I didn’t want to be sold as an adult either!”

Isabelle seemed angry, but she was so shocked that she burst out laughing.

‘So Neptune lowered the sky ladder in a grand manner.’

It was a performance that he asked the subhumans who served him to see.

I hid my true feelings to get Isabelle to meet me. Isabelle glared at me angrily.

“What’s funny?!”

“A magic tool that I carried that used to produce water. Do you remember?”

“···Why does that come out?”

“I received it from Neptune after climbing up the heavenly ladder. There, we were treated to drilled fish eggs as a meal.”

“Yes?!”

Isabel’s green eyes grew like a flower lamp.

“There is no way such a contradictory magic tool exists, right? I didn’t mean to, but congratulations on breaking your engagement.”

“Ma, that makes sense!”

“Everyone must have heard it. A servant is someone who puts pressure on people to make no sense.”

This person is also playing Janggi.

A chess piece that is played aimlessly just like me.

“So, ultimately, there is a causal relationship.”

Pluto planted hell in my body, and secretly disposed of the dead young Rectalian, who had free will, without the servants knowing.

Everything stands on a certain line.

We don’t know yet, but we will find out soon.

“Ma, that doesn’t make sense… That kind of thing…”

“Your appearance was the goddess in the fantasy that the Grand Duke Widow showed me. From then on, you were in a corner of my heart… and suddenly you appeared in front of me.”

I can still think of it.

The image of Isabel, wearing a dress, hugging me and breaking down like smoke.

“You can’t tell me how surprised I was when I first saw it. You might be upset, but in fact, I thought he was an assassin and even tried to kill him.”

It’s still like that now.

If Isabel didn’t cooperate with me, I had no choice but to do so.

“Why do you keep saying things without asking?”

“Because I want to be understood by you.”

Let’s calm the hostility.

If you keep going, I can’t help it.

“Furthermore, I want you to be mine.”

“···From what?”

“It means that I want you to be on my side, not on the side of the servant.”

“How?”

“Please never betray me.”

“···Okay. I also have something I want to ask.”

It’s a fairly easy acceptance. Does he really like me?

‘What a weird idea.’

Rather, it is possible that it is compliance to survive from criminals.

“What is it?”

Isabelle found it difficult to open her mouth.

I hesitated for a moment and looked at myself.

“Is my father… a sinner?”

“Yes.”

“What is the crime? Is it a crime to try to harm a servant’s representative?”

“No.”

“Then what?”

“It’s a crime to mess with my family.”

Isabel raises her eyes wide.

“······Yes?”

“This is my personal grudge. There is no servant’s will.”

Isabel’s eyes were about to tear.

“Ha, but in slave travelogue…!”

“I am not a self-centered person who treats others as criminals for showing selfishness.”

“Then what on earth did you do wrong?!”

“He crossed the line and justified his selfishness. Quite… in a bad way.”

Most people can understand it, but not as much as Harold.

“A stake was driven into the heart of the representative of Venus outside the door. They tied a cork around my neck like a wine cap to prevent me from screaming, and fixed it with an awl to prevent me from vomiting. The limbs were tied and placed in a locked coffin.”

“That person is a monster!”

Isabelle appears to be wearing colored glasses due to the notoriety she learned about white wolves during her mental education class.

Anne, who had become interested in the screams, was observing the situation with her head out.

“It was made into a monster. Your father made it that way.”

The most direct way to take off your colored glasses is to project yourself.

“To cure the royal family’s terminal illness, he gifted Edward with a reversible medicine.”

“But the king was not satisfied.”

“The king’s army has invaded that man’s village. It was to obtain medicine to reverse the situation.”

“My only grandfather passed away, and my mother’s arm was cut off. My friend’s family died.”

“The weak-hearted agent of Venus had no choice but to sell himself to your father.”

“Suppose you are immortal. If the same thing happens to you, are you confident that you can endure it?”

Isabel could not continue speaking.

What Harold did was simply indefensible. If he had defended himself, Shir might have jumped into the fray.

“···Is the sin that deep?”

“Everyone commits sin. The problem is that he did not ask for forgiveness for his sins or take the first hand held out despite his rudeness.”

Green eyes look straight at me.

“So I made your father a ruiner.”

After spitting out all the truth, I leisurely looked at Isabelle.

It’s not exact, but it looks like he was shocked. Finally, Isabel nodded.

“···I will.”

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

thank you. For not letting me kill you.

* * * * * *

As I left Ymir’s tomb, many people’s eyes were on me.

But as soon as those eyes reached Shir, they all turned elsewhere. Even an elf with a bow on a tree can’t aim at me.

No one.

A sacred place for the elves that even Zul could not enter. Even the moment I entered Ymir’s tomb, no one stopped me.

The elves who naturally clear the way feel so unnatural.

“Now, let’s go in.”

I can feel the gaze coming from all directions.

I turned my back to him and climbed up with Shir.

Of course, on the other side, Anne was chasing me.

“My sister will attend the trial.”

“Really?”

“Once you go in, you can’t change anything. Douglas was exonerated and Eusria was sentenced to death. Are you sure?”

Shir’s amber eyes look straight at me.

It’s clear that Yusria is a shitty bitch. But was that enough to kill him? That wasn’t it.

“Don’t kill me. Instead… give me my brother. With no regrets. Something like Taehyung.”

“I also specialize in things that don’t end with regrets.”

Shir smiles brightly.

“Crush──”

“No! Don’t do such nasty things!”

Crushing type?!

It’s so crazy that I can’t even show my business card!

“The numerical calculation is not correct. You need my blood to have no regrets, right? Do you know how many people can endure a little pain for my blood?”

‘···That’s what I heard.’

If you could feel a moment of pain and gain youth and an elixir of cure all diseases with the guarantee that there would be no physical side effects, some people would not feel that it was a punishment.

Didn’t you get younger there?

“···Do what’s appropriate for you.”

“Okay.”

Looking at the face, it is confirmed that it is a crushing type.

How long did you climb Ymir’s tomb?

Anne looked like she had a mountain of things she wanted to ask, but she hadn’t said a word since she almost got discovered by Lexi.

To be exact, he is scared of Lexi.

When the people under the tree started to look like ants. I arrived at the courthouse where my finger was cut off. Among the observers, Lexi was sitting comfortably in her uniform.

Next to them are Callisto and Fera Cu.

The audience was very racially diverse. There were also hosots, elves, sirens, and terubs.

‘In the past, only elves were allowed in.’

Douglas, with his back to the cliff where the fierce sound of the wind was blowing, was handcuffed and with his head bowed in silence.

I felt empowered and went to the observer’s seat, and Shir headed to the judge’s seat.

Only then did Anne snuggle into my side.

Until I stood next to Lexi.

“···Why did you come here?”

“I came to observe.”

Lexi said nothing more.

Feraku’s eyes narrowed as he looked back, but his gaze eventually turned to the judge’s seat.

“Consul Douglas Knight.”

Only then does Douglas raise his head and look at Shir.

“The defendant plotted a traitorous plot and attempted to split the Union Alliance, and despite being a consul who was supposed to be fair to all, he conducted a biased trial. Additionally, a public official who was supposed to have integrity accepted a bribe and was brought to trial. Would you like to defend it?”

“I will not do it.”

“Are you willing to admit guilt?”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Douglas bowed his head and said nothing.

Shir crosses his legs in a comfortable position and looks down at Douglas.

“You will know what punishment is being carried out. No objection is possible after the ruling has been made.”

There is no way Douglas, who was a consul, would not know such a procedure.

Douglas raises his head and scans Sur and the audience.

‘···You don’t recognize me.’

Well, more than 17 years have passed.

The gaze turned to Shir again.

“···Can I just say one word?”

“Allowed.”

As soon as permission was given, Douglas’ eyes turned directly to me.

“Sihyeon Lee.”

Douglas, who was aloof even in the face of his own death, was glaring at me even in this situation.

“You killed Juyul.”

‘I was just wondering what you were going to say.’

I know that Jules died because of me.

As I said, if Jules were here, Shir and Lexi would never have gotten to this position.

─But I believe in Shir and Lexi.

“You broke the law of Yunaira!”

“I plan to give myself time to leave a will.”

“It was about cutting off your hair, not your fingers. I’ve only regretted that for so long!”

I didn’t think much of it, but there was anger in Shir’s eyes.

“Consul Douglas. I will make a ruling. Sentenced to hell. Jump out of the tree right now.”

Thanks to this, a somewhat emotionally charged verdict came out.

‘···Jump off that cliff?’

It is a cliff similar to that of a high-rise apartment building.

Douglas, despite being the victim of this funny situation, began to back away, laughing as if he were an observer.

“My crime was not being able to stop Yunaira from regressing. That is a sin for which I deserve to die a hundred times.”

The burning eyes are fixed on me.

In that state, you take a step back. Until the last step.

As if going down a flight of stairs, Douglas backed away and jumped out of the tree with such ease.

Of course, I am not very impressed because I know that Douglas will not die.

Have a fun bungee jumping!

‘I’ll see you later.’

What on earth did Douglas commit?

“Huh—?!”

Callisto, the absolute ruler of the South, moaned and shed tears.

“Next.”

There was not just one sinner.

Most of the rest were advised to jump out of the trees on the charge of ‘scheming to rebel’, and the fate of those who jumped from a place higher than the 15th floor of an apartment building was natural.

like that···.

“Executor Yusria Nightflower.”

The worst woman I could ever forget in my life stood on the defendant’s stand.
