Chapter 448 – End of Suffering.
“Do you have any connections with the Cesifia family…”
“I don’t know.”
The knight calmly asked for a while even though he was embarrassed, but Usher was able to talk clearly.
“I’ve never heard of or met such a family until now.”
The ring was just an object left behind by the parents who abandoned him for some reason.
“I’m just one knight now. Take it if you need it.”
At his reply, the knight was silent, looked down at the ring, and shook his head.
“No. I’ve been rude. I’ll return everything.”
The knight opened the gate of the checkpoint after putting back Usher’s card and the items he had taken out of the bag in order.
“The inspection is all over, but the Cesipia family may call you later.”
Usher did not respond to his words until the end, packed his things and left the checkpoint.
“Ah, let’s go together!”
Hearing the sound of Sulshien hurriedly chasing him, Usher belatedly realized that he was fast and slowed down his gait. After returning to the carriage after the investigation, I heard Seol Shien’s voice while checking to see if there were any missing items.
“You really don’t know anything about the Cessipia family?”
When he glanced at her, he could see her hesitantly, unable to hide her curiosity even as he looked at her.
“What kind of family do you think Cesifia is?”
When we say family, we usually mean a noble family. When he thought of nobles, the only thing that came to mind was Mediah of Lantua.
“In Pasifenia, there is a place called the 4 Great Contributors.”
Originally, Pacifenia was a country based on the rule of kings and nobles, but it was not uncommon for royal families to die from various reasons such as dragons or chronic diseases.
For this reason, they even thought about establishing a new dynasty, but in the end, the representative of the country was decided in a new way in a situation where the ruler disappeared when the line was cut off.
First, the representatives of the four districts that make up the city were selected, led by the nobles who were most popular, and the person who would rule them at the center was decided by voting.
“Are you saying that among the representatives of the four districts was the Cessipia family?”
“Yes, but even now, not all of them are representative.”
The representatives who governed the four districts also declined or collapsed over time, and were decided through voting like the president.
“Then what does family name matter?”
If their family has already declined, can’t they be called nobles? The newly created Parz was now being governed in a way similar to that of Pacifenia, and being a nobleman didn’t have much power there.
“It has no real power, but it still has its reputation.”
As much as they made a great contribution to the establishment of the current system of Pacifenia, their achievements were highly praised and recorded in history as meritorious subjects. Even after the decision was made by voting, they often served as the representative of the district, so they are still a prestigious family, except for those that have completely collapsed.
“Going to see her once…!”
“I have no idea.”
Usher shook his head at the words of Sulsien, whose eyes twinkled.
“But it could be your parents.”
“All I know is that my parents, whoever they are, are the ones who abandoned me.”
If it was in the past, I might have been a little curious. He had lived as an orphan, and his family was what he longed for. But now, I had no intention of clinging to them.
“Before that, I’d like you to show me around the inn.”
“If it’s an inn, hmm.”
After hearing his words, Seol Shien seemed to be thinking about something, then opened her mouth.
“Would you like to stay at my house?”
“Is this Sulsien’s house?”
“Yes, no matter how cheap an inn is, it tends to cost quite a bit, so if you stay at our house, you’ll be able to save money.”
Usher pondered for a moment. He didn’t know how long he would stay here, but when he said he was looking for one, it wouldn’t take a day or two for the size of the city.
“Just tell me the way to the inn.”
“Even for a few days?”
“The inn is only for staying in a hurry.”
I was going to stay at the inn for a few days, and I was thinking of renting a house or room somewhere. It would be better if you stay longer.
“Then how do you do this?”
Seol Shien, who was pondering something, spoke with a smile as if she had a good idea.
“It won’t be cleaned because I’ve been away for a long time.”
It’s very difficult for me to clean the house by myself, so Mr. Usher stays at my house in exchange for his help.
“How is it?”
“All right.”
Seeing her speaking triumphantly, Usher accepted the offer, thinking it would be rude to refuse any further. Following the guidance of Seolxien, we arrived at a building.
“Is this Sulsien’s house?”
“That’s right.”
The long up and down, multi-story house looked around and saw many similar buildings, so it could be said to be a common house here.
“Where should Hildisviny and the carriage stop?”
“Ah…”
No matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t find a place to stop Hildisbini and the wagon. It didn’t seem like it was made for someone who could ride a wagon or Hilldisbini, as there were similarly shaped houses lined up along the street.
“Well, why don’t we just park it in front of the house? It’s rare for a carriage to go around here.”
As the saying goes, carriages seemed rare, but carriages were really rare.
“It seems that rickshaws go quite a lot.”
Even now, they were attracting the glare of people passing by and the rickshaw pullers who pulled the rickshaw from time to time. It is not that there is no space in front of the house, but it was too narrow and could not be parked because it invaded the road.
“Can I ask for directions?”
“Is there a problem?”
Then, among those passing by, I found a knight in armor and called him to stop. I thought that the knight who rode Hildisbini would know where to park the wagon.
“If it’s a wagon, you can pay for it and park it near the outskirts.”
Fortunately, Usher’s idea was right, but when he saw where he pointed, he was momentarily speechless. Because it was near the place where he was checked.
“I’m sorry. I’ve never ridden a Hilldis Beanie here, so I forgot.”
In the end, the carriage and Hildisbini were left at the stables and carriage depots located on the outskirts, and they had to take the trouble of returning to Sulcien’s house by rickshaw.
“It doesn’t matter. It seems like you have to ride a rickshaw to get around the inside of the city anyway.”
The wagon doors are locked and I tend to carry really important things in my bag. In the case of Hill Dis Beanie, he said he would take care of it separately at the stable for a fee, so he didn’t have to worry too much about it.
“Good job.”
“Yes. Please use it again!”
After returning to Seolshien’s house and sending the rickshaw man back, they were finally able to enter the house.
“Eup! Cough Cough! Hey, let’s open the window first!”
Sure enough, Sulsien’s house was no different from a dust pit, as if to let her know that she had been vacant for two years. She could understand why she paid for cleaning Usher, so she had to start cleaning her own in a hurry.
“Huh, good job.”
Shaking off heaps of rice dust here and there, sweeping the floor, sweeping the floor like sand, and somehow collecting the things that clump together into gray lumps and throwing them in the trash can. Even though she kept it as simple as possible, she could still see the slanting sunlight coming through her window.
“Are you living here alone?”
“Yes, my mom and dad passed away a long time ago.”
Her Usher remembered a picture of her he had seen while helping her clean her house. In that photo, was there a man and a woman with a girl who looked like Seolsien?
“In the end, this house is the only thing left. Hua-am.”
Could it be that I touched a bad memory? She looked at her, but when she was sitting in front of her desk, she was dozing with her head hanging down.
“Go to your room and go to sleep.”
“It’s bothering me. Kueung”
Seeing her fall asleep on her desk, Usher took her to the bedroom on the second floor, which he confirmed while cleaning, and laid her down.
“Lol.”
I checked the figure of Seol Shien, who was buried in bed, hugging the blanket, and looked out of her window. Contrary to what Donnar had heard about the civil war, it was a very peaceful city.
‘Where should I start looking for it?’
He was at a loss as to how he could find that woman in such a large city. Also, if there was something that bothered you.
“Cessipia.”
Usher muttered the first family name she had heard today as she gazed at the pair of rings that reflected the metallic light in the sunlight streaming through the window.
‘I don’t want anything to bother me.’
The forgotten past pops up in front of him in an unexpected place. If he had any regrets about his family, he wouldn’t have cared so much about this ring.
