Chapter 192 – 192. Negotiation (2)
=======================
After the fall of the Valois royal family,
In order to replace the lost monarchy, figures including the Duke of Agincourt formed a temporary cabinet.
The provisional cabinet urged Heinkel, the first sword of the kingdom, as well as Allen Roxfield and Gilead, who were members of the seven swords of the kingdom, to return by presenting unlimited conditions.
“Thank you for the offer, but I have already left Valua Kingdom. I cannot accept your offer.”
Yushin declined Hansako’s proposal.
Even though the Duke of Agincourt, the most influential owner of the new dynasty, asked directly, he refused.
Of course Allen did too.
The Provisional Cabinet showed little expectation from Allen, but Allen, like Yushin, rejected the kingdom’s proposal, showing that he had no lingering feelings for the kingdom of Valois and the Roxfield family.
“Are you okay?”
After rejecting the proposal of the Provisional Cabinet,
Yushin looked at Allen and asked if he regretted his decision.
At that question, the blue-haired female knight made a pouting expression.
“I told you, it was my choice. I don’t regret my choice What I’m afraid of is… , I am breaking up with my brother.”
“Greatness. It’s embarrassing to say that.”
“Ahaha! Oppa’s face turned red!”
“Shut up.”
Yoo-shin, who received a direct confession, blushed as if he couldn’t stand his embarrassment.
Allen burst into laughter.
He showed a genuine smile while showing his white teeth.
“I don’t need everything as long as I have an older brother. Except for my mother, of course.”
“Thank you.”
“It was nothing! You can go on a date later!”
“I promise in Master’s name.”
In response to Yushin’s cool answer, Allen gave her a confident smile and nodded her head.
We can go on a date when we get back!
She thought that the family she was born and raised up to now could be stepped on, but Allen wanted to go back as soon as possible to go on a date with Yushin.
If her father, Troyd, had been affectionate, he would have been greatly shocked by her daughter’s words and actions.
‘But Lord Troyd will not mourn her separation from Allen like other fathers of her daughters.’
Troyd Locksfield.
He is an aristocrat with a very cool personality. Under no circumstances does he ever show his feelings.
That’s why I was curious.
Do you feel sorry for her daughter?
Are you worried about your daughter who will leave again?
Because he always wore an iron mask with a blunt expression, there was no way to fathom his true intentions.
She said, “I heard that you saved the kingdom from the oath of demons and the demon king of tyranny. On behalf of the nobility of the kingdom, he would like to pay homage to his lofty dedication and hard work.”
After the situation is over,
Troyd, who was staying in Rutemine with the family knights, thanked the heroes who saved the kingdom with respect.
It was Troyd who asked for a meeting first.
Even so, he accepted the offer because he had something he wanted to conclude after talking with Troyd.
“Heng, the sound of dog eating on the moon.”
As he bowed his head, Allen glanced at Troyd as he thanked her and turned her head away with a sad expression on his face.
Relations were still tough.
His relationship with Troyd was so rough that he felt cute with Ardena, who complained just by looking at her face.
It was still just cold. Troyd remained expressionless, while Allen showed only a cynical reaction.
“Several stigmas appeared simultaneously on Allen’s body. It is said to have manifested at the time of being attacked by the tyrannical Demon King.”
Yushin said.
At that, Allen said, “Sheesh, I won anyway.” Meanwhile, Troyd, who had heard the story from Yushin, swallowed his saliva with his chin resting on his chin.
“The condition for activating the stigma, which symbolizes the manifestation of authority, is the will of the owner. However, it seems that the stigma that resided in Allen was manifested unconsciously.”
The witchcraft that the vampire queen used on Allen had the danger of turning a person into a complete wreck.
It destroys the mind and crushes reason.
No matter how powerful a person may be, he cannot withstand a psychological shock.
That’s why Allen’s stigma reacted to the Vampire Queen’s attack. If the stigma hadn’t manifested their powers at once… , Because the ego would have become a disabled person in a state of collapse.
“How many stigmata did you say in total?”
Yushin asked.
To which, Allen said, “I thought there were more than 10.” She gave a vague answer.
“I have heard of a precedent in which atavism inherited the powers of the ancestors of the older generation, not the powers of the parents. But in Allen’s case….”
“All the powers of the ancestors of the Another One, who are related to the Roxfield family, must have been inherited by Allen.”
“… Is that possible?”
At Troyd’s words, Yushin frowned and asked again.
The expression of atavistic traits is a sufficiently surprising phenomenon.
But to inherit all the powers of the ancestors.
This is a result that cannot be explained by atavism. The existence of Allen Roxfield was unprecedented and unique even in the long history of the Roxfield family, which had produced offspring through generations with Another One.
“Isn’t the answer to that question right in front of you?”
“…….”
Yushin let out a deep sigh.
I was so surprised that I spit out a meaningless rumor.
It is foolish to discuss possible or impossible. Because the miracle was right in front of my eyes. Yushin said to Allen with a bitter smile.
“Go see the countess for a while. You have to say goodbye.”
“Yea, I got it.”
At Yushin’s words, Allen nodded her head and glared warily at Troyd.
It was an eye that showed no trust whatsoever.
She kept a watchful eye, lest her father play a fool with the man he loved in her absence.
Soon after, Allen left her. Seeing her back, Yoo-shin thanked Troyd for explaining to him the secret of her lineage, while she revealed her true purpose to Troyd.
“In the near future, Allen and I will be leaving the Kingdom of Valois.”
“It looks like he’s leaving after all.”
“I thought it was polite to say hello before leaving,” She said. No matter what Sir’s purpose was, what was the purpose of the Roxfield family… It was Lord Troyd who brought me to meet Allen.”
After being silent for a while,
Yushin continued his words again.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I understand the selfish behavior of the Troyds. He tried to create a small god on earth by combining the powers God gave to Another One… , It makes me sick to think of those who would have been sacrificed for that arrogant goal.”
“It will be. I won’t ask you to understand Everything you say to me right now is undeniably true.”
Troyd humbly accepted.
No excuses to understand
He did not even refute Yushin’s accusations of blaming himself and his family.
Did you expect it to happen like this? He still clung to his expressionless mask. That expressionless iron mask will never be disturbed.
Troyd’s cool-headedness in any situation is just disgusting.
“I, too, when I was young, questioned the blind purpose of my family. Why does our family want the birth of a god so much, and why do insignificant creatures want to explore the realm of omniscience and omnipotence… , Couldn’t understand that. However, when I came to my senses, I too was drowning in the purpose of omnipotence and struggling in the swamp of delusion.”
A fate passed down from ancestors.
The curse of the specters that could never be defied.
Why did I become just like them?
Even though the birth of the little god that the ancestors wanted so much was achieved, only questions that did not have clear answers spread in the mind.
“Those who regret it now… , I’m late, but I’ll tell you. Allen will never forgive me. Until the day my life ends, original sin will never disappear.”
Due to the selfish desires of his ancestors, Allen, who was born with numerous powers, had to forcibly endure the curse-like power.
How terrible it must have been,
I can’t even imagine how severe the punishment must have been for Allen, who was a young girl at the time.
“I hope Allen is the last victim of the spirits of House Roxfield.”
With that one word, all the words stored in her mind ended.
Allen said what she wanted to say,
But in the end, the words she would have held back,
Yushin, who condemned the Roxfield family’s wishful thinking on behalf of her Allen, bid her farewell to Troyd as she said her final goodbyes.
* * *
Did I really have the right to be angry with the Earl of Roxfield on Allen’s behalf?
After saying goodbye to Troyd,
Turning behind her, Yoo-shin let out a deep sigh and wished that Allen could escape from the Roxfield family’s ghost and enjoy her free life.
And she promised.
That I will definitely make it
“Brother, why are you so depressed? What did you hear from that old man! I’ll go right away and say goodbye….”
“It’s not like that.”
Yushin held out his hand.
In response, Allen stuck her head out like a well-trained pet.
Soon after, Yushin expressed her affection for Allen by stroking her head.
“It’s just that I’m exhausted.”
Annoyedly, he scratched the back of her head.
Even though she came out with great energy, she felt sorry for herself when she saw her languid face in front of her sister.
“What a dead expression. I am with my brother So cheer up.”
“You are more like a brother than me. Will you be my brother I will be your sister.”
“What nonsense.”
At Yushin’s joke, Allen responded with a puzzled expression.
It’s a joke even in this situation.
However, thanks to that, the heavy atmosphere has softened somewhat.
“I finished saying hello to her mother. So you can leave the kingdom right now.”
Yushin, who put on a thoughtful expression for a moment at Allen’s words, opened her mouth as he raised her head as if he had remembered something.
“Let’s go on a date. I have something to share…. You can leave the kingdom right away if you want, but could you hang out with me for a little while?”
Allen, who seemed to hesitate for a moment at the sudden Yushin proposal, eventually nodded her head with a bright smile.
“Well, of course!”
It was a bold voice that made the listener feel good.

Actually, this was a meme.
