Chapter 59 – 059. The Nobility Chain Raid Case (5)
“You have a determined face.”
“Yes. Thanks to that, I was able to organize my thoughts a bit.”
“Thanks to?”
“Yes. What…”
I was able to stand up to my determination thanks to Verdandy’s words, but in fact, it was Avros’ consideration for lending me a room where we could have a conversation, so it could be said that it was also thanks to Avros.
[My virtue is greater.]
‘… Yes. I know.’
Eunhyeon let out a small sigh and agreed with Belldandi, who proudly claimed her credit.
He even felt strange that the hand that caressed his hair naturally was different from the usual Belldandy.
To put it bluntly, it should be said that he has become strangely active, and he has no hesitation in expressing affection for Eun-hyeon.
The relationship between Eunhyeon and Belldandy also felt like something a little different was added to it, rather than the relationship between an ‘apostle and a goddess’.
Even though the change is awkward and embarrassing, she feels gratitude and joy in the heart of the goddess who thinks of her.
After taking a deep breath again to calm her tickling heart, Eun-hyeon put on a serious expression again and spoke to Abros.
“Can I see the buildings that Ashton personally owns, or the history of his recent use of money?”
“Surprisingly. I thought you would prioritize dealing with the devil over that child.”
The impression Abros had of Eun-hyeon is a calculating person who does not act out of personal feelings and thoroughly values only results and achievements.
As a human being, he adheres to the line that must be followed, but when Eun-hyun is faced with a crossroads where he has to choose one side, he is a man who chooses the side that will benefit him more without hesitation.
Eunhyeon couldn’t have known that if the eyes were focused on Erin, who had been kidnapped as the devil had intended, he would be in a situation where the devil might take advantage of that moment and do something.
“Someone scolded me a little.”
“You?”
“Yes.”
Word by mouth
Eunhyeon said with a laugh that she herself was dumbfounded.
“Do what your feelings tell you to do.”
“Hmm.”
“So even if it’s a bit of a roundabout way, I’ll save my own person first and deal with it. After all, it seems that the nobles’ lives aren’t what the culprit wants.”
Although they are being attacked and victims are appearing one after another, in the end, not a single fatality has been reported.
In the midst of still not catching the culprit, the only good news was that all the victims were alive.
Because of this, even if more victims were attacked, as long as it was confirmed that there would be no damage to their lives, Errin’s safety was the top priority in Eunhyeon’s mind.
“Besides, I also want to feed the devil who forced me to make such a crappy choice.”
“Do it.”
“I am surprised that the duke gave permission. The nobles of this country are suffering, and my choice is to neglect the damage of the nobles of this country and prioritize other things.”
“If it weren’t for you in the first place, I might not have been able to find clues about the culprit and even identify that the existence of the devil was responsible. That is the reality of this country right now.”
Although the possibility has been presented and the crisis has already been presented, the current situation in the country, which is in a hurry to hide the facts, is pitiful.
Aristocrats drunk on the peace that came after the war think that the present peace and everything they enjoy will last forever, as if there had never been a war.
Fearing the possibility that the culprit of this series of raids might be targeting him, he brushes off Artia, who is under investigation, while showing unfounded confidence that he will not be attacked because he is in the safest capital in the kingdom, and does not even have a sense of danger. .
The situation in the country now, where people do not believe in the existence of demons that existed in the past and now do not exist, and make complacent thoughts and choices, was extremely pitiful.
“The most pathetic thing might be my son who did such a stupid thing in this situation.”
“I have nothing to say about that.”
If it had been others, they would have been shocked and denied Abros’ words and comforted him, but Eunhyeon did not deny it and agreed with his thoughts.
Abros smiled bitterly as he looked at Eunhyun and opened his mouth.
“It is all my fault for wrongly educating my children. I know it’s a pathetic request. But, please don’t kill me.”
There is a saying, ‘Bend your arms inward under any circumstances.’
No matter how pathetic and obsessed with an inferiority complex he is, he is a human being who keeps making wrong choices, but from his parents’ point of view, it is natural that he cannot throw out such a son.
“I am not a madman who kills anyone. I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee it.”
“That word is enough.”

“Ugh…”
Ashton, who had no strength to resist at all, was dangling in the air by the arms of a girl who was clutching his neck.
[Nine-tailed fox’s unique ability]
[Energy Drain]
It was not magic, but a kind of ‘authority’ or ‘skill’ that Eunhyeon used.
By making contact with the target, it extorts the target’s magic and vitality and absorbs it into its own body.
Also, what flowed into the girl was not only the magic and vitality of the object, but also the ability to read the emotions and fragmentary information of the object that was inherent in the magic.
However, the two male students, who knew nothing about this fact, suddenly recovered their entire bodies and transformed into silvery-white nine-tailed fox beasts, only to appear to be ruining Ashton’s body with unknown magic.
“What, what is it? That… ?”
“Weren’t you human?”
Without paying attention to Billard and Grass, the girl sucked the vitality from Ashton’s body and restored the internal wounds inside the body that had not yet been healed, while at the same time sucking in mana and peeping at fragments of his memories.
“Poor you.”
Staring at Ashton, the girl muttered in a cold tone.
“My younger brother was born with a talent for swordsmanship and belongs to the Royal Guard, making his name known as a knight and raising the reputation of the family. Having grown up as a great flower of the country with a brilliant mind while holding a job of .
Ashton couldn’t hear Erin’s plaintive muttering.
His condition was not normal, as he was drooling and already showing whites in both eyes.
“Even though I didn’t have a special talent for anything, I considered myself special, felt inferior to my younger siblings who were superior to me, worried about when my place would be taken away, and forced myself to trample and exclude them so that they wouldn’t take over their place. “
It’s no wonder that siblings Alex and Eleanor didn’t get along well with Ashton.
“I wonder why he has such a beggarly personality, but there is no effect without a cause. I heard that there is no guardian under the amulet, but this one had a problem with the mother.”
Her father, Avros, tried to treat her three children fairly, but Ashton’s mother, who was her husband’s wife, was not a little dissatisfied with the fact that she treated her concubine’s children and her own son equally.
As time passed and the children grew up, many ideas and education were injected into Ashton to prevent Alex and Eleanor, who were children of concubines, from taking over Ashton’s place. Came to have a way of thinking close to the chosen people idea of being a chosen human being.
“A lump of inferiority complex not worth killing.”
The girl took the rapier, a preliminary sword worn around Ashton’s waist, by ripping it off roughly with the sword case and belt.
Afterwards, her pupils dilated and her drooping arms and legs swayed weakly, throwing Ashton’s body roughly to the floor. Stared at
Billard and Grass trembled at the sight of Erin, who had turned into a nine-tailed beast woman, and the emotion that dominated their bodies gradually turned into fear.
As a result of witnessing the change in Ashton’s body condition, where only the bones remained, emaciated as if nutrients were sucked in and twisted, fear rising from the thought that they would become the same as Ashton ruled in her head.
Erin walked slowly forward toward her two boys.
“Oh, don’t come.”
Every time Erin walked toward him, Villard stepped back slowly to match her pace.
Grass, like Villar, took the same action and was wary of the approaching Erin.
“Ooh, we’re not at fault.”
“That’s right! I only brought you because the Duke told me to! We didn’t do anything to you!”
Erin didn’t say anything.
She just smiled.
The sight of two male students desperately defending themselves and defending each other made me feel astonished, pathetic, displeased, and angry.
“I remember very clearly how I looked at this kid when I first saw you.”
“What do you mean!”
“You guys, when that bastard is done with his business, you guys were going to make fun of this body and play with it.”
The expression with which she gave her unusually sinister look at Erin as she and Ashton entered her shed was now the same expression that her own dead father, Renion, had made when looking at her. Resembled
There was no way that Erin, who was trembling at that expression and her gaze, would not notice it, and she, who had the same expression as back then, could not stand by the two boys.
“You, you are making this mistake.”
“Mistake?”
“If you hurt me right now, you will be finished in that moment. If some commoners injure me, the son of Count Orba, it won’t end with only you being put to death! I will arrest all your family members and execute them all! Understand?”
Erin tilted her head in wonder.
“You don’t have a family, do you? They are all dead.”
“That that…”
Villad, in a state of disorganized speech in his head due to embarrassment and agitation, was speechless and speechless.
Grass breaks into a cold sweat at the sight of her Erin, who calmly puts the death of her own family in her mouth.
‘What happened to the shock?’
A very different side from the pitiful girl she used to be.
“I, if you kill me, my family and kingdom will never leave you alone…”
Erin raised the corner of her mouth and, quivering in her fear, she laughed at the menacing Billard, citing the power and kingdom of her house on her back.
“It’s like that. On the subject of not being able to do anything alone.”
She firmly believes that if there is a problem with her own safety, the people of her family and the kingdom will step in and deal with her Erin who harmed her.
Erin remembered what Ashton had said to her earlier, and she put it into her mouth just like him.
“What do you believe in?”
“What… ?”
“Do you really think that your family and kingdom will stand up for you like that?”
“Of course not! I am the man who will soon inherit my father’s title and become a count! You are on a different level!”
The same goes for this male student.
She, like Ashton, is guaranteed her place in the future, and she is a special being born with a destiny above people’s heads. There is.
“Haha.”
“… ?”
Haha!”
Erin found it so funny that she couldn’t contain her laughter.
‘Am I crazy?’
She even suspects that Erin, who suddenly bursts out laughing at her, may have finally gone mad.
Villard never thought that it was she herself who caused her Erin to burst out laughing.
Her laughter suddenly stopped and she smiled as Erin looked at Billard.
Was it because the gaze was so frightening?
Villard backed her up again, shaking her whole body as if chicken skin was growing on her arms.
“Then shall we try it?”
“What… ?”
“Let’s really kill you once here.”
“Muh, what are you talking about!”
“So let’s try killing you. Will your family and kingdom really move to mourn your death? I will find out once.”
“Mi, crazy bitch!”
“I know I am crazy. However.”
Erin’s expression was as if she was asking something for granted.
“This world that creates things like me is crazier. Is not it?”
In an instant, Erin, quickening her steps, reached her hand out to snatch Billard’s throat.
“Oh come… !”
I was startled by Erin’s action as she jumped at such an amazing speed that an afterimage of her left behind.
Billard closed her eyes tightly, her own neck tightened as she watched Erin come to her own eyes in an instant and reach her hand toward her own neck.
Quaang!
Something huge flew away with a strong explosion accompanied by a gust of wind.
“…”
Erin, who was on the verge of grabbing Billard by the neck, was stopped by a loud explosion from her entrance and turned her head away.
And she blew the entire iron sliding door at the entrance, and confirmed the appearance of a man who appeared.
The moment he saw her silver-white hair, red eyes, and the familiar look of a man wearing a long black coat, Erin frowned at her.
The man Erin and her eyes met also looked at her Erin and opened her mouth.
“Certainly, I told you not to be scared and not to hold back… It was a little too much.”
Eunhyeon looked at Erin with a bitter smile because she didn’t know that she would do this.
