Resurrected Immortal 84

Chapter 84 – 084. The New Little Duke (3)

“Well… I don’t know.”

When Erin, who had been missing during the Baron Hersha Jun incident, opened her eyes, she was in a hurry to recognize the situation around her.
When she heard from Eun-hyeon that her brother, Erwin, had died and that the culprit was Ashton, the heir to the ducal family, she thought a lot.

“At first, a lot of emotions filled my heart and I couldn’t stand it because I wanted to vent them.”

Erin looked at Eun-hyeon, who was sitting next to her, and spoke again.

“But now I don’t know.”

“Hmm.”

Abros didn’t answer, just stared at Erin’s face and listened to her words.

“Now… I don’t think that resenting the duke and doing something to the duke’s family will ease my brother’s resentment.”

She received an apology from Eleanor and Alex, and she knew that it was the arbitrary act of a man named Ashton, not the doctor of the entire ducal family. Ended up holding

“I am the father of one who is no different from your enemy, and I am the one who covered up your son’s crimes to protect the family line, and framed your brother as an unscrupulous black magician who stole gold coins stolen by his father and abandoned you. Are you still not resentful?”

“But you are also helping me through Hyun.”

“…”

“Maybe, Hyun-i thinks, if I just asked, he could have accused the man of his crimes to the country, made him face judgment, and restored his brother’s honor. But I don’t do that, and I know why you gave me the choice of what I wanted to do.”

Eun-hyeon knows now that Erin did not rely on her to reveal Ashton’s sins and restore her brother’s honor, she wanted her to grow into a person who could uncover them herself.
In this way, Eun-hyeon faithfully performed the role of a supporting character, providing the foundation for her growth so that she could fulfill her role as a person.

“I know now that the Duke had no choice but to make that choice. He knew that he couldn’t help it, even for Alex-sama and Eleanor-sama… But one day we’ll figure it out. That my brother wasn’t really that kind of person. Then… Is it greed that the Duke also wants him to help me?”

“Let’s try our best.”

The decision to reveal one’s own son’s shame and discredit the family is not an easy choice as the head of a family.
It may have been a bad relationship at the beginning, but Erin and Avros were improving their relationship little by little.

“What happened to Ashton? I couldn’t see him at all.”

“Ashton was sent to an outbuilding in the duchy with his mother.”

“Is her condition very bad?”

“Like the other victims, his body is in a weakened state. Other than that, I haven’t found any special abnormalities, but it’s unreasonable to carry out the duties of a minor duke with that weakened body.”

However, it does not make sense to change the successor of the ducal family just because of physical weakness.
Eun-hyeon knew that this was just an excuse, and that after Ashton had disappointed Abros several times, she was eventually being punished by losing her position as heir.
It is said that she was brainwashed by the devil and encouraged to kidnap Erin, but the problem is that she had such an impure intention from the beginning, and the fact that she put it into practice itself has not changed.

“I could have recovered my condition with the princess’s holy magic, but you didn’t.”

“Because you get paid for your actions. I have no intention of holding you or that child accountable for that.”

“Ah… Thank you.”

Erin only knew when she heard Eun-hyeon that something in her own body had taken over her own body and made her Ashton that way.
It was because when she fought the succubus, Lyra, she explained and added to her own body, which had been transformed into a beastman state with fox ears and nine tails.
As a result, the public blamed Ashton for being attacked as the work of the devil, and Erin, who was first selected as a suspect, was framed as a hero who defeated the devil who threatened Pernin.
Erin didn’t apologize because she didn’t feel sorry for the duke family at all that the divine beast inside her body made Ashton like that, and rather, Abros was considerate of Erin, saying he wouldn’t hold him accountable for making Ashton like that. ‘S doctor felt grateful.

“Then, let’s talk about the future soon.”

The conversation with Erin played a big role in releasing one of Avros’ old feelings.
Recognizing that now that it was time to solve another problem, he looked at Eun-hyeon with serious eyes.

“Oh~. If it’s complicated, I’ll leave. Hey, come with me too.”

“Yes? Ah yes.”

Illyana, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between Erin and Avros, waved her hand and dragged Erin out of her room.

“Father. Then I go over there.”

“Hmm.”

After briefly conveying her wishes to Avros, Eleanor also followed her Illyana out of her room.

“Looks like we met at just the right time.”

“Leod? Were you invited too?”

“First of all, I am also a nobleman of this country.”

“Huh. Did you come alone?”

“No. Only brought her wife and daughter. My son is too young.”

“Okay? Go inside. It just happened that something important was about to begin.”

“Right.”

Before the door closed, the voice of another man invited to the banquet with Illyana was heard.
Eventually, seeing the face of Riod entering the room where Eunhyeon and the Armitas father and son were, Eunhyeon let out a sigh.

“Isn’t this member too familiar?”

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Congratulations on becoming the new little duke.”

“Thank you. Marquis Olivion.”

As Lyod congratulated Alex on the happy news, Alex also bowed his head and gratefully accepted his words.

“Have a seat.”

“Yes.”

At Avros’ invitation, Liode nodded and sat down next to Eunhyun.

“Come to think of it, I heard that one of the boys who kidnapped Erin was the son of Count Orba, who presided over the previous open trial?”

“I heard that too.”

The most decisive role in Count Orba’s presidency at the public trial was the report of Count Orba’s son, Billard Orba, who witnessed Erin turn into a nine-tailed fox and absorb Ashton’s mana in the abandoned warehouse.

“Thanks to that, things took a completely strange turn. The crucial clue in naming Erin as her suspect was the testimony her son witnessed. The culprit was another existence called the devil, and the members of Krasir, who only believed in his report and moved, were like interrogating Amon people in prison.”

Furthermore, the son of Count Orba, who had reported the information, could not avoid being questioned as to why he was in the abandoned warehouse at that time.
Even with her mouth torn apart, he couldn’t tell her that he had kidnapped Erin and later did her a disservice, so Villard insisted on keeping her silent.

“In the end, it is said that Krasir’s position became more and more difficult as the witch firmly protested to her royal family about the part where she arbitrarily moved the members and assaulted you, who was no different from an innocent civilian. On the contrary, Artia, who is known to have succeeded in catching her demon with the cooperation of the witch this time, is gradually gaining ground.”

“From my point of view, I didn’t feel very happy because I was in the position where I just cooked and ate the food that was thrown to me.”

Lyod reacted indifferently.
In fact, among the members of Artia, they ran here and there day and night to find clues to the raid, but to no avail. .
How absurd and absurd would that be?
I felt fortunate in that I kept the safety of the people and the country, but I felt very uncomfortable because there was no sense of accomplishment or sense of accomplishment that they had solved the incident with their own power.
Even though they did nothing, they couldn’t help but feel ashamed whenever they saw people praising them, saying, ‘As expected, Artia!’

“What are you planning to do next? It’s hard to believe that you showed up uncharacteristically and directly without thinking.”

Riod asked about Eunhyun’s future plans.

“First of all, you need to increase your strength. It will be the most basic.”

“Power? You?”

All three people who knew the level of Eun-hyeon’s fighting ability looked at Eun-hyeon with strange eyes.

“No no. Not that kind of physical force. Something else.”

Eunhyun smiled and explained her next plan.

“I am planning an expedition.”

“Expedition?”

“Arcis Great Labyrinth.”

Hearing the name, Alex twitched his eyebrows.
He frowned as the various memories from there began to flash through his mind.
Seeing Alex’s expression, Eunhyeon smiled and continued.

“I just want to eat there.”

◆ ◆ ◆

“Whoa…”

Erin let out a small sigh.
Strangely enough, she sighed in relief, considering that it was fortunate that the conversation flowed very smoothly, unlike the anxious thoughts she had about meeting Abros.

“Were you nervous?”

“Yes. Little bit? I’m sorry to Eleanor and Alex, but… I am that person’s father.”

I still vividly remember kicking him in the face and body before passing out.
I would be lying if I said that she never had any fear.
Eleanor was not ignorant of Erin’s feelings, so she had no choice but to put on an apologetic expression.

“Sorry.”

“No. I didn’t say it because I wanted an apology.”

“How long are you guys going to be so dull? Don’t do it with the story that’s over. The younger ones continue to form a heavy atmosphere.”

Illyana, who was walking ahead, glanced at the two and said, as if she didn’t like the atmosphere of the two.

“I’m sorry, I can do better in the future. Okay?”

“Did you hear?”

“Okay.”

At Illyana’s dismissal, Eleanor replied with a bitter smile.
So that this girl would not be hurt more in the future, Eleanor firmly resolved that she would do her best.

“I was really nervous and hungry. Can you feed me something delicious?”

“Yes, then.”

She feels like she has a younger sister with a big age difference.
Not feeling too bad, Eleanor thought, and she began to walk in front of them and guide them.

“Ah.”

Eleanor saw a mother and daughter on the banquet hall terrace and she let out a small exclamation.
Illyana and Erin, who were walking behind, were also familiar faces, so she showed a similar reaction to Eleanor.

“Ayra-sama!”

“Oh, Erin.”

When Eido checked the face of the owner of the voice calling her, she called out Erin’s name in a bright voice.

“I heard the news. I heard that the title of baronet was reinstated? Congratulations.”

“Hehe, I didn’t do anything. It was all made by Hyun.”

“Eunhyeon-nim… I see.”

“… ?”

Eira’s face, who congratulated her with her bright face, suddenly began to darken when her Eun-hyeon’s name came out.
Erin made a puzzled expression at her reaction.

“You’re here.”

Illyana also saw Theresia, Eira’s mother and the wife of her friend Riod, and greeted her.

“Yes. I’m glad the witch looks good too. You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit these days.”

“What… I won’t deny it.”

Illyana, who had been showing off her expression as if she had been found out, replied indifferently.
Soon, she frowned and opened her mouth while looking at Theresia once again.

“There is something I would like to discuss with you.”

“Consulting?”

At Illyana’s sudden request, Eleanor and Erin tilted their heads as if it were strange.
It was because Illyana, who had taken an arrogant and disrespectful attitude towards the queen of this country and acted as if there was nothing to be afraid of in the world, strangely, she showed respect for Theresia as much.

“Are you consulting?”

“Huh. There is something I really want to pay back. I need Theresia’s help.”

“Huh, I don’t know if it will be helpful, but I’ll just listen.”

Theresia nodded, then turned her head to Erin, who was next to her.

“Oh, hello. Marquis.”

“Okay. You seem to be doing well. I heard the news.”

Theresia smiled bitterly as she answered Erin’s greeting.
After a while, Erin turned her gaze back to Eira and looked at Eira, who was making a not-so-bright expression, and asked in her worried tone.

“Why are you like that?”

It didn’t look like he was in bad shape.
If she hadn’t been feeling well in the first place, she wouldn’t have attended the banquet.
Ayra obviously had her subtle expression from the moment her Erin brought up the story of her Eun Hyun, so Erin asked her.

“That is…”
