Chapter 150 – Detention
#150.
Ha-yeon, who infused mana once along the route of rubella, glanced at Cho-rin, who was focusing all her attention on the magic book, and said.
“Sister, don’t you want to get pregnant?”
“Is that sound again?”
Chorin seemed a bit bored and flat-out, so she replied.
That’s also true, because I’ve been asking the same question over and over for three days since Gaon contacted me.
Pregnancy isn’t child’s play, is it something you can say you want to do? It was also something that could be considered only when the conditions were right.
Although she is only 3 years older, Cho-rin has an impression that she is really young than Ha-yeon.
‘Is this an old-fashioned idea?’
Early 20s. It’s not something she would think of at her flowery age, but sometimes I was envious of Ha-yeon’s optimistic side.
Chorin erased her magic formula that was still messing around in her head, then closed her book and rubbed her eyes.
In response to Hayeon’s reaction, she pouted her mouth and asked as if floating.
“Then can I get pregnant first?”
“Is that the same as this? There’s no guessing for the next few years anyway, so stop thinking about it. Huh? Ha-yeon, you might say that Mr. Gaon is weak, so he won’t go out with you and separate you? Are you okay though?”
“Ah! Am I working hard too? There’s some progress. … Maybe.”
It was an answer she had no confidence in.
She thinks that Ha-yeon herself is getting stronger, but she has no idea if it’s at a level where she can meet Ga-on’s expectations.
In order to pursue the incarnation of irrationality as a regressor, ordinary talents are not enough.
She needed a bit of help to stand tall next to him.
‘I wish my sister…’
Ha-yeon glanced at Cho-rin with her envy-filled gaze.
The fact that she had the ability to control her life alone held her special, which no one could replace.
Even if it doesn’t help in terms of her power, she was unconditionally essential for Gaon’s journey.
It is a position that cannot be compared to the same spearman, and himself, who is much weaker than Gaon. If this continues, the difference will only widen.
‘How can I become stronger?’
In fact, she knows in her head that there is a great teaching aid called Gaon, and she just needs to follow it.
However, recently, Hayeon felt that she was not enough.
Something, she felt insecure that simply by following others she would not be able to move forward.
A premonition that she needs something unique that only she can do. And she needed her own unique set of skills to live up to those expectations and head to her high ground.
This may also be one of Hayeon’s talents.
Even though she has not yet been taught by Gaon, she is instinctively pursuing the right direction.
‘I don’t know!’
Ha-yeon, who continued her worries alone, jumped up from the sofa where her head was getting complicated and her heart was feeling stuffy.
And just as she was about to go out for a walk, she opened her mouth to Chorin.
Quaang!
“It’s a big deal! Mr. Gaon says the prison is detained!”
When Milenya came in, she told the truth that she found hard to believe.
“Yes? Master!?”
“Is Gaon detained? Why?”
At the same time, the two asked Milena a question and turned their heads to face each other.
One thing came to the mind of the two of them.
‘Master was caught having sex!’
‘Could it be that the affair was discovered?’
It’s a little different, but anyway, there’s nothing else that would cause Gaon to be imprisoned.
As they turned their heads to Milenya again, she opened her mouth.
“The charge is that Mr. Gaon committed an affair with Mr. Priscilla. Nonsense! Chorin and Hayeon are here, so why would that be? It must be false!”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“M-M-M, that’s right! Master didn’t have sex with Priscilla!”
Ha-yeon desperately suppresses her candid temper and lies. However, it is too obvious, so I wonder if there is a need for acting.
Chorin looked at her pitifully and questioned Milenya, who looked puzzled at her.
“So how did it go? Are you detained and that’s it? There is no evidence, right?”
“Ah yes. First of all, there is no evidence. And after detention… He said that the execution would be carried out right in the square in the morning three days later.”
“The death penalty… Three days later, before the Guardians are dispatched.”
“Yeah, I think it’s the work of doppelgangers. They must have learned that the Church was involved in this raid. It must mean that he will deal with Mr. Gaon and erase his traces before the Guardian arrives.”
After killing Gaon, Chorin and Hayeon. And it will target three guilds, including Milena.
Of course, as long as there are less than 4 days left for the dispatch of the Guardians, all of his goals are impossible to achieve, but the problem is that Gaon has already died by then.
In the end, this execution date had to be postponed or prevented somehow.
“Did you get this information from Lupechion?”
“Yes, your source just came and went. But rumors are already spreading throughout the city.”
“You mean you made it public? Wouldn’t that also damage the honor of the count family?”
Of course, the fact that the count’s wife flirted with another man would undoubtedly lead to a back story among the same nobles.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was crazy for the count’s family to announce it casually.
“Perhaps this is an ulterior motive to completely drive out Priscilla-sama. Didn’t Chorin hear anything from Gaon beforehand?”
“… A few days ago, I was told what to do in case something goes wrong. First, I have to meet Lena.”
“Okay! Let the two of you go. I’ll keep an eye on you here in case you don’t know. You can go out the back door, so hurry up.”
“All right. Milena. Then please.”
Chorin quickly left the guild with Hayeon.
The two of them wrapped their robes to carefully cover their bodies, then headed towards Lena with stealthy steps.
She must have been prepared for a visit from there as well. As soon as she entered the building, a woman approached her at the counter, bowed her head, and directed her to her reception room.
As expected, Lena was seated there, and Chorin, who quickly took a seat opposite her, opened her mouth.
“Do you know why I came?”
“Yes, because we have to save Gaon. Even if the execution is delayed for just one day, support from the church will come, so there is no need to worry about the aftermath.”
“That’s right. I’d like to aim for a reprieve from the execution date, but maybe Kaldran doesn’t intend to do that. You should aim to break out.”
“Whoa… It gets really complicated.”
Lena grabbed her forehead.
She showed needless curiosity and got herself into serious trouble.
She thought for a moment whether she should have just lied about giving birth to 10 real children, but at the time she didn’t know this was going to happen, so her assumption was meaningless.
“Anyway, two things are essential to carry out the plan. Agitation of public opinion and contact with Mr. Gaon. This has to happen unconditionally.”
“I’m still trying through an informant planted among the guards. It will be difficult, but we have to do it somehow.”
“Okay. Then I’ll leave that to you completely. Then all that remains is public opinion. Rumors spread that this incident was actually overturned by Calidora. It’s like saying that the Count is being swung around by the width of her skirt. Then there will probably be a backlash from the vassals and collaterals. Even the Count has no choice but to deepen his thoughts.”
The vassals are all those whose loyalty has been hurt for a long time in the count’s family.
They would have taken a bad look at Calidora, who they don’t know where they came from, but if rumors spread, they would find out some of the details and express their opposition to the Count’s decision.
Anyway, isn’t Priscilla much better than Calidora?
Priscilla’s home, Viscount Uzren, would do something of its own.
“Leave that work to me. However, even if you do, there is no guarantee that you will be successful. I’ll prepare for that as well. What if it fails?”
“… Then, of course, we have to fight.”
“You are reckless.”
Kaldran is a strong man that cannot be dealt with with only his own strength. Not to mention, there were even knights and soldiers from the count’s family around them, but there was no way it would be a fight.
At Lena’s suggestion, Chorin took out a hand mirror embroidered with geometric patterns from her bosom.
“I will use this.”
“That?”
“It’s an artifact called the Mirror of Truth. It’s a card that can take off the masks of doppelgangers at once. With this, the count’s troops will be able to return to our allies.”
No matter how much the knights and soldiers decided to give their allegiance to the count, if they knew that there was a demon behind them, I’m sure they would turn around at once.
Lena looked at her chorin and nodded her head.
“… Everything was prepared. All right. Then I’ll just get up. I have to move a little busier from now on.”
“Yes, I have to go see Archbishop Antonio Superior, so I will go. Ha Yeon-ah, let’s go.”
“Yes, sister!”
Chorin and Hayeon left the top of Mirnia and moved toward the church.
‘Wait for Mr. Gaon!’
People exert great power when they try to protect their loved ones.
Chorin desperately racked her brains to find a way to rescue Gaon.
Ha-yeon next to her just made a firm commitment.
She didn’t like complicated thoughts.
‘If I touch Master, everyone will die!’
She was just full of thoughts of killing the demons who were persecuting Gaon, her teacher and lover.
***
Knock.
The sound of water droplets falling from somewhere reached Gaon’s ears along the walls of the prison.
‘It’s about time to come…’
Twelve hours have passed since she was put in jail.
In the meantime, fortunately or unfortunately, she had not been subjected to torture or anything like that.
He may have felt that he didn’t need to have a long conversation because he was just going to kill him anyway.
The important thing is that he is currently imprisoned by the magic seal orb, so it is impossible to escape on his own.
He can helplessly wait for help.
At that time,
Thud- thud-
Footsteps were heard from far away.
Of course, the guards have to come and go from time to time to keep an eye on the criminals, but it is quite rare for them to come this deep.
Gaon is imprisoned in the deepest part of the count’s prison, where the boundaries are strict.
As I waited and watched the direction the sound came from, a guard soon appeared.
He didn’t really talk to Gaon.
I just looked around, passed Gaon, and turned around again.
However, Gaon was not disappointed.
Because the two of them have already finished all the stories.
‘Good. I just need to prepare.’
Gaon leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to keep his body in perfect condition until then.
And the next morning, he was put to death.
