Resurrected Immortal 56

Chapter 56 – 056. The Nobility Chain Raid Case (2)

In order to prepare in advance, Eun-hyeon broke up with Riod, and arrived alone in front of the entrance of a mansion boasting enormous size and majesty.

“Is there business at the duke’s mansion?”

“Yes.”

Eun-hyun, who stopped her in front of the mansion of the Armitas family, calmly nodded her head in affirmation to the question of the duke’s private who was blocking her entrance.

“Did you come with an appointment?”

“I was told that if I showed this, I would pass.”

She took out the brooch in the form of two crossed swords that Abros had given her from her bosom and showed it to the soldiers.
Immediately recognizing that it was a brooch with a pattern symbolizing the Duke of Armitas, the soldiers nodded, opened the door, and pretended to get out of the way to let Eun-hyeon inside.

“Go in.”

“Take care.”

Eun-hyeon bowed her head slightly and greeted the enlisted soldiers, and once again blew a whistle at the absurdly large garden and mansion.
Previously, during the case of Baroness Hersha, he had secretly entered the mansion, but this time, as he entered through formal procedures, he only slowly walked toward the mansion while appreciating the well-kept garden.

“Welcome.”

She was going to walk leisurely and admire her garden, but when she heard the voice of a woman greeting her, Eun-hyeon turned her head and stared at the owner of her voice.

“Yes. Hello.”

“Your father is waiting for you.”

‘I wanted to go slowly.’

Leaving her slightly regretful heart behind, Eun-hyeon nodded her head and walked behind Eleanor, who led her around the mansion.

“It seems that Erinn’s condition has improved a lot these days thanks to her princess.”

“Why are you acting like a parent all of a sudden?”

“First of all, it’s because I’m a protector.”

It was Eleanor who looked at Eunhyun’s face with a doubtful expression while laughing.

“My child, Illyana, is a bit difficult. She seems to be able to rely on her older sister even though she is of the same sex, so she is very happy as a guardian.”

Could anyone in the world be comfortable with a high-ranking magician who only has 10 people on the continent?
Listening to Eunhyun’s words, Eleanor thought it was absurd, but when she thought of a girl’s face, she put on a dark expression.

“… All I have for him is sorry.”

She hadn’t done it herself, but it was clearly her own family’s fault that she had to go through her near-death experience as a result of the arbitrary actions of her half-brother, Ashton.
A priest who resembles her father, who maintains a cool poker face and makes a haughty expression, is called the ‘Flower of Pernin’. The reason why Eleanor does not show a cold attitude toward Erin is because of her compassion and sympathy for Erin, and It was a complex emotion mixed with guilt.

“Erin would know. She also knows that the princess has such feelings for her.”

At Eunhyun’s words, Eleanor’s shoulders trembled.

“But she needs that kind of attention right now. The environment around her is so beggarly.”

She knew how Erin was treated at school, so she knew how she was holding on now, that she was forcing herself to pretend she was okay.
Even if her heart was gradually healing as she grew up, there was no way that there wouldn’t be a new lump in her heart that was created when she was able to relax.
Currently, Erin’s condition was like that of a bomb about to explode or a super A-class soldier of interest.
Right now, Eun-hyeon was kindly comforting and controlling Erin’s emotions, but the storm of emotions that piled up and piled up is bound to explode someday, even if it is possible to delay the timing.

“I am… I think you are really great.”

It is very difficult to save a person and continue to support him so that his heart does not break.
If Eleanor also had the power to hear her Erin’s ejaculation and save her, she might have saved her.
However, supporting her until the end so that she can adapt to her other world, where she has not been kind to her even after saving her, is a task that requires tremendous devotion and effort on her part.
Eleanor thought Eunhyun’s behavior was amazing.
Normally, she was an unstoppable person who was very mean to herself and had insidious thoughts, but in her strange part, she was nothing more than a good person who took terrible care of the people around her.

“Eh? Do you give me rare compliments?”

“It would be even more amazing if you just cleaned up that smirking face.”

Eleanor only put on a sullen expression when Eun-hyun, who had frowned at her at once, smiled and replied.
She walked on afterward chatting, and Eleanor knocked on her as she arrived in front of Avros’s office.

“Come in.”

Having received her permission, Eleanor opened her door and guided her Eun-hyeon into her room and she sat down next to Alex.
Eunhyeon also sat down at Avros’ invitation and thought of the one person who was not here.

“I heard you were in a hurry,” She said.

“… There is one thing I need to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Ashton… In the end, I think I laid my hand on ‘the kid’.”

“Oh, father? What the hell is that… ?”

“… ?”

At that moment, Avros was able to see a face that was clearly different from the expression he had never seen before.
As always expected, he was Eun-hyeon, who showed composure in facilitating the situation with the paving stones he had designed and set in advance, but now Eun-hyeon’s eyes clearly had feelings of ‘stirring’.

◆ ◆ ◆

Amidst the quiet stillness.
Feeling the cold hard sensation on her cheek, Erin opened her eyes.

“Here is… What?!”

She tried to get herself up, but she was horrified to realize that her hands and feet were bound in handcuffs, restricting her movement.
She frantically looked around her to locate herself.
A dark space where nothing can be seen, a cold floor, and thick dust reflected in the moonlight leaking through a small window.
She was able to intuit that the place where she was bound and confined was like a dark warehouse, but why on earth did she have to be confined in a place like this?

“I then… I was on my way to Illyana-sama’s mansion…”

After school, it was a rare day when Eun-hyeon did not come out to meet her.
It was regrettable that Eunhyeon did not come today, but it was not the first time that Eunhyeon, who was very busy with many other things besides taking care of her training, did not come to meet her, so she just thought that would be the case.
She remembered until she was walking alone to Illyana’s mansion where she served as a guest.

“Chi, calm down. Hyun-i told me that this could happen.”

Slowly calming her confused mind, she took a deep breath.
After calming her startled heart to some degree, Erin clearly faced the situation she was in, and she mentally framed the actions she needed to take and set her priorities in order. Did.

“Once tied, how do you untie it…”

I wiggled her arms around, but the straps around her wrists showed no signs of coming loose, no matter how tightly she tied them.

“Oh, really!”

As her work did not work out, Erin’s eyebrows narrowed, and little by little she began to feel annoyed with her nervousness.

Awesome!

“Uh… ?”

When the restraints were not released and he was grumbling a little, unable to overcome the frustration, the tightly closed steel sliding door opened, and three figures entered the warehouse.
It was so dark that it was impossible to even identify her face, but judging by her physique, Erin could tell that their gender was male.
And the moment she checked the faces of the three men who were getting closer to her, Erin hardened her face.
It was because the man in the center of her, wearing clothes of high status, was the first person she saw, but the men on either side of her who walked in were the figures in her memory of Erinn.

“All, you…”

“Hehe.”

Looking at Erin’s hardened complexion, the two men with sly smiles were the children of the aristocratic families who had flirted with Erin in Aether not long ago, Villa de Orba and Grass Broad.

“I finally get to see your face. It would have been nice if he had died quietly then.”

Among the boys looking at her erin with her blatant gaze, a man looked at her erin’s face and said, frowning at her.
She tried to use the magic method she had learned from Eunhyeon and Illyana to strengthen her body and forcibly remove her handcuffs, but when no change came to her own body, Erin was taken aback.

“Uh, why does magic…”

“These are handcuffs for blocking mana. Generally, it is an item used to restrain high treacherous criminals from using magical powers in the kingdom. I’ve already figured out that you’re being trained by that bastard and her witch. The current you, wearing those handcuffs, is just a helpless human being.”

“You are… Who are you?”

“The person who suffered a lot because of you.”

“What harm have I done to you!”

“This is Ashton Armitas, the minor duke of the Duke of Armitas. He must have heard the name?”

“Ah…”

Upon hearing Ashton’s self-introduction, Erin shook her own shoulders in surprise.

“You… ?”

Erin looked at Ashton with her eyes wide open.
The moment she heard his name, the moment she saw his face, Erin’s emotions, which she had barely regained her composure, were breaking down.

“You… You are my brother!”

Erin’s startled eyes, instantly loaded with her feelings of hatred, glared to death at Ashton.
Ashton, who was receiving her gaze directly, frowned at her, revealing that he was in a bad mood.
As if he had heard her insults that he should never have heard, Ashton went right up to Erin and kicked Erin’s body as she fell to the floor, bound and motionless.

“Kuhup!”

“Dare! Be cheeky! Like a commoner! To me, the heir of the ducal family! What! Those cheeky eyes!?”

Once, twice, Ashton’s angry kicks hit Erin’s body.
Erin coughed up her own blood-tinged breath every time her own body was kicked, and her body shuddered at the impact that hit her whole body.

“Ha, ha ha…”

“I just wish I had been quietly captured for four years! Then I could have taken the gold coins back from the warlock with you hostage! Four years gone there just like that! That snake-like guy starts intervening in the case! Everything went wrong! It’s all your fault! The fact that I became this shape! That son of a bitch is starting to look down on our ducal family! Having to taste indelible humiliation in front of my father and that bitch! All! It’s because of your years!”

“Whoops!”

Memories of long-forgotten one-sided beatings began to come back.
Unlike the violence she experienced during training with Eun-hyeon, the one-sided violence full of malice from the other side awakens Erin’s trauma again.
It reminds me of my father who hated it terribly in the one-sided violence, kicking his body in a state where he could not resist instinctively.
Little by little, she returns to her powerless, intimidated self, returning to the past where she curls up and cannot resist violence.

“Flaw… Ugh…”

Ashton was relieving all the anger, shame, and insult that had accumulated over the years by beating Erin.
In Ashton’s unreasonable behavior and her words, which spread out nonsensical logic and blamed Erin for all the wrong actions she had done, reason already did not exist.
He was nothing more than unleashing his accumulated emotional resentment on people.
It was beyond the scope of what humans could do to humans.

‘Why… Maybe…’

Erin thought.
Why did she not be able to resist herself and continue to be beaten like this?
What on earth was the training she had been receiving from Eun-hyeon for?
If the future of being caught, kidnapped, and subjected to one-sided violence had not changed, was it really worth enduring that grueling training?

‘No, no…’

You shouldn’t have such thoughts.
It also denies the consideration and efforts of Eun-hyeon, who enthusiastically helped her.
This situation has been caused by self-pity, lack of effort, lack of talent, and lack of strength.

[Is he going to just be beaten and not resist so much like before?]

‘No.’

Erin immediately denied it, without even having time to question who it was, to the unknown voice that came directly into her head.

“… Tongue… Ji… No.”

“What?”

Erin’s small voice as she muttered made Ashton stop kicking her and lowered her head to hear what she muttered.

“I’m not afraid of you at all!”
