Chapter 122 – Let There Be Light in Deharm Mansion
After washing my face in the bathroom, I walked down the hallway and stopped. Because Harvey was going from room to room with some folder in his hand.
As I got closer, feeling suspicious, David turned to me. A benevolent smile soon blooms on his surprised face.
“Aren’t you the lord? You should be going to bed soon. What are you doing here?”
“That is what I will do. What are you doing here?”
“Ah. That’s it……”
Harvey, holding the file in his arms, began to explain.
“When the patriarch went out, he sent a messenger from the Church of Balance. He said that the head of household had contributed greatly to the church, and he said that he would pay back his favor by sending several people to congratulate him. I was going to tell you in the morning after I finished preparing the room because they might be going to sleep at the mansion, but I’m sorry.”
“Until I have to apologize……. Rather, did the church send someone?”
“Yes. The assistant bishop belonging to the 5th parish personally came to preach the message. He told me that the Holy See contacted me through Crystal Ball.”
Is it. Hearing that it is the 5th precinct, I begin to guess how things went roughly.
‘The Bishop of Leviham would have given the Vatican a message…….’
Having escaped from the grip of the elves, Leviham must have contacted the Holy See and asked them to deal with the evil elves in Deharm Mansion.
The Vatican must have dispatched high-ranking priests or paladins to the mansion to confirm the true intentions. It must be to protect me, a faithful believer in the god of light.
When I thought about it, it felt like a wave of emotion flooded my heart.
However…….
‘Is it really the right thing to separate the elves by force?’
It is true that the elf threatened me from time to time and created embarrassing situations, but looking back, the elf never physically harmed me.
Would it be right to suppress such elves with the power of the Holy See? No, before that, can the Vatican subdue the elves by force?
‘…… Even the Archduke of Hell could not win against the Elves.’
Looking at the self-confident Leragee who had disappeared overnight, it was obvious that he could not handle the strength of the elves and was defeated.
In addition, according to Esily’s guess, the elf is the head of a clan and the queen who rules the great forest. Anxiety is amplified, fearing that the conflict with the Holy See might turn into a war between tribes.
“Okay.”
Still, she couldn’t let her anxiety out of her. Not only the chamberlain in front of me, but also the servants of the mansion and the slaves of the workshop live only looking at me.
The family I lead is responsible for their family. So I couldn’t be free from that responsibility. Even if it’s hard, I have no choice but to finish all cases by myself.
“Please work on my behalf. I will also try in various ways to welcome the personnel of the Holy See.”
“Yes. But don’t push yourself too hard.”
I was deeply grateful to Havid for caring about me.
“Of course.”
Nodding with a smile on my face, I walked past Harvey and headed for the office. Since there was still a little time left before going to sleep, the intention was to talk more with Essilly.
However, I opened the door to the office and breathed in vain. It was because the elf was sitting at her desk, peering at the screen of the location notes.
‘Damn it…….’
I didn’t want to be caught as much as possible. She didn’t know that the elf would step into her office her in that short time after washing her face her.
Now that it’s like this, let’s go to bed a little earlier today. Taking advantage of the moment when the elf was distracted by the location note screen, I slowly closed the door.
“Saw.”
Reopened naturally.
“Tsk.”
I blatantly clicked my tongue and moved into the office. It was a bonus to put on an arrogant expression as if he had no intention of running away from the start.
“To come into the office arrogantly with a vulgar subject of slavery. Are you crazy because you want to die?”
Unlike the horse, the body could hardly move flexibly. The idea that the location note was exposed was prevalent, so his stiff body his awkwardly stopped in front of the elf.
A slave sitting peacefully in front of his desk and his master standing up in front of it. The irony of the situation brought tears to my eyes.
“Did you freak out because you wanted to die?”
Widely. The elf who closed the location note looked up at me coldly.
“I must have been crazy because I wanted to die.”
Those words sound strangely directed at me. I couldn’t answer, so I swallowed my saliva and was motionless. The elf took out a blank note from the desk drawer.
Then he throws it in front of me. As I was looking down at something, the elf muttered in a hoarse voice.
“Do it with me too.”
“What do you mean? As for location notes, there are no spares…….”
Cheer. The elf who shot me once sighed.
“I’m trying to write an exchange diary.”
“Exchange diary?”
“Yes. The first day is written by the owner, and the second day is written by me. That way, our relationship with each other will become more certain.”
My eyebrows naturally twitch as I look down at the elf.
‘…… You mean spying on me?’
It’s not that the elf who treats me as a toy feels affection for me and makes these demands, so the purpose must be surveillance.
It must be a reminder that you shouldn’t do anything else without your knowledge, like today. My teeth tremble at the base lust for conquest.
‘Cheeky…… ! Do you think I’m a coward who says yes when your bitch asks!’
As I grew lowly, the elf narrowed his eyes.
“I do not like it?”
“Of course…!”
The life in the elf’s eyes disappeared. Giving in to the rapidly changing temperature, I bent down and grabbed the quill.
“Good night! There is no reason not to.”
“Aha. Master likes things like this.”
Crazy year. The swearing reached the roof of his mouth his, but he held it in. It was much better to write a rough diary and send it back than to go against the elf’s heart here.
But what should I write? I opened the first page of the notebook, but I couldn’t think of anything to write down. Isn’t today the end of meeting and talking with Esily?
‘If I wrote down my feelings, I’m sure he’d get angry.’
It was obvious that the elf would hate it if my subjective opinions were included, such as that I was happy to meet Esili or that I was happy. So let’s try to be as objective as possible. It would be best to write down what happened today in a short and thick summary.
After organizing my thoughts, I dutifully wrote.
[Silly visited her mansion during the week, so the two of us took a carriage and headed to the cabin to rest. Thanks to Esily’s lunchbox her, she had a quick meal there and returned to her mansion her.]
It’s so concise! Although he hid the inside story, he did not lie because he only wrote the facts. If this was the case, the elf would have nothing to point out.
I looked confidently at him, but the elf frowned and pointed to a passage in his diary.
“A packed lunch? Does Lady Esili cook too?”
“Uh? Uh, yes You did pretty well.”
“Is that so…”
I don’t know why, but it seems like he doesn’t like it. Still, I didn’t say anything, so this should be a passing grade.
The moment I was about to put down the quill, wanting to hand over the diary and send it back, the elf murmured lowly.
“You wrote less.”
Did you spend less? What? The elf quietly blinked as I looked at him stupidly. His hands are shaking because he was calm as if he did n’t know even if he saw it.
Did I miss something? But no matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind. While I was struggling, I opened my mouth while looking at the elf.
“What do you mean?”
When I asked for a hint, the elf raised his hand and pointed at him. Could it be that she was dissatisfied with not putting herself in the diary?
It’s ridiculous, so I laugh out loud. However, there was nothing I couldn’t write, so I added an elf passage to my diary.
[By the way, this morning he paid his respects to his father and confessed what happened last night. Most of them are about sex with elves]
Chin! The quill, caught in spirit, refuses my touch. Wondering why, I raised my head and saw the elf glaring at me with a blushing face.
“Stop it.”
“Yes? But you……”
“Stop writing, I said.”
I guess I’m angry. I nodded her head and let go of the quill, and the elf took her note and held it in his arms her.
The elf got up and walked to the door without even looking at me. Then, perhaps annoyed, he stopped in his seat and looked back at me.
“Don’t be cocky. On the topic of toys…….”
At first glance, it seems resentful. The elf stared at me for a few seconds, then turned around and left the office. Thanks to that, in the office where I was left alone, I had no choice but to be somewhat dazed.
‘What the hell do you want from me….’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t get my head around it.
*
Four days later.
‘Is it over there….’
Landis Sofret, including ten paladins, stared at the mansion in the distance.
According to the Vatican, Viscount Theorard made a pact with the devil there and is helping to stir up evil.
I don’t want to believe it, but if the Vatican’s words were true, I would have to end Theorard’s life with my own hands.
‘For that purpose, only the elite of the knights were selected and arrived here.’
Landis looked back and looked at the faces of the paladins. Although the arduous march must have been difficult, there was no tiredness to be found in their faces.
The appearance of wearing the red sacred belt over the shining armor is truly holy. No matter how powerful the demons were, if they were together, they would be able to defeat them.
Landis, who had made up his mind in firm faith, raised his fist and shouted.
“Brothers! The destination is not far! Since the god of light is watching over us, let us remember to be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of the execution of holy duties!”
The paladins did not answer. I just nodded and agreed with the captain’s words. For them, dedicating their bodies and minds to punish evil was as natural as breathing after birth.
After Landis nodded, he moved his steps toward the Deharm Mansion again.
However, the closer he got to the mansion, the more his belief that evil could be punished began to waver.
‘This…….’
Landis, who had undergone numerous trainings since he was very young, and had practiced detecting demonic energy and handling divine powers, could understand it.
The status of the Magi that remained in the Deharm Mansion was different from that of ordinary demons. The concentration of magic was so thick that it made my mind and body dizzy.
‘It hasn’t even arrived yet…….’
Landis, frowning, dropped to his knees and picked up a handful of dirt. He couldn’t measure the exact number of demons left in the air, so he tried to gauge the opponent’s strength by measuring the demonic energy that had permeated into the ground.
“Karathias, the god of light. Your Lamb asks for strength.”
A brilliant light shines in Landis’grasp his. Landis, who was estimating the demon standing in the dirt with his eyes closed, suddenly sighed and threw the dirt away.
‘What…… !’
The concentration of demonic energy is unbelievably high. As if the Grand Duke of Hell had visited.
Landis, who belatedly grasped the situation, quickly bit his teeth.
‘Theorad Deharm!’
The owner of this mansion must have signed a contract with the Grand Duke of the Demon Realm.
They forsake humanity and stand on the side of all evil…… ! Landis, feeling both fear and hatred, rose from his seat.
‘Did they plot a scheme to devour the empire here…… !’
Landis groaned and clenched his fists. His determination his not to back down is revealed in his furrowed eyebrows his.
‘I won’t let things go your way!’
Landis, who was determined once again, took a heavy step towards the source of evil.
