The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

103 – Proof

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut when I heard that it was a rumor coming from the academy.

No matter how much I thought about it, the rumors going around the Academy weren’t all that good.

‘My head hurts.’

I’m wondering where to start explaining and how to deny it.

Contrary to my expectations, Shien’s father slowly let go of my hand and ended the story.

“We’ll talk about this later.”

It seems like he is reluctant to talk because Shien is next to him.

I’m nodding my head thinking that would be better.

After looking at her for a while, she pulled me towards her and started talking.

“Father. “Don’t bother Sir Dern too much.”

“… “

At that one word, he looked at us with a somewhat complicated expression.

Immediately, he closes his eyes tightly and sits down in his seat.

When I saw this, I was sighing inwardly, thinking that things were getting even more troublesome, when Shien pointed to a nearby chair and spoke.

“Please sit down Lord Dern. Even though he didn’t say it, my father probably said that too.”

It was difficult to answer, so I just nodded and sat down, and Shien smiled brightly and spoke to me.

“Then I will bring some refreshments, so I hope you can talk comfortably.”

“Please.”

“Yes.”

As I watch Shien leave, I open my mouth to talk about the Celestial Church.

Before that, the head of the family of Per spoke.

“It looks like you came here because of the Heavenly God Church. Is that correct?”

It seems he knew why I came here.

I nod and make eye contact with those questions.

He looked straight into my eyes and asked one question.

“It’s not just a meaningless sacrifice; it’s a fight from which no gain can be expected, so why bother fighting?”

It’s a fight with no benefit, but that’s why I’m fighting it.

I’m sure others who don’t know the original novel will think it’s pointless and without benefit.

I answered rather bluntly.

“It’s because someone has to do it.”

“Why should I stand?”

“Because their true identity is demons.”

His body stops at the word demon

I guess I didn’t even expect that the Heavenly God Church was a demon race.

As I watched his reaction in silence, he responded by fiddling with the handle of his sword.

“What is the evidence?”

In response to that question, I handed over the proof grimoire prepared by Espin and continued talking.

“Here it is.”

He accepts the grimoire I hold out to him and slowly opens it and begins to read one by one.

I looked at him, and when he had read the grimoire to some extent, I slowly opened my mouth.

“The reason I came here is to make a suggestion.”

“What is it?”

After hearing that, I calmly smiled and told him the reason.

“Please bring out the executives of the Heavenly God Church. At least a bishop or higher.”

He continues reading the grimoire and asks me one question.

“What if I pull it out? “What can you do?”

“We plan to capture him alive.”

When he heard that he was being captured alive, he stopped reading the grimoire and looked at me.

He shakes his head and talks to me while smiling.

“It would be impossible. Their power is stronger than you thought.”

It seems that the Celestial Church showed the power it possessed while negotiating with the Per family.

I thought about his reaction for a moment and then took out my mace.

“No, it is possible.”

Then I showed him a glimpse of a part of the bishop contained in the mace and told him the reason.

“We’ve actually already done this.”

I guess he didn’t know that another bishop would be captured alive.

He looks at me with somewhat surprised eyes, then sighs and speaks to me.

“I don’t know where to start. “I knew you had the ability to do that.”

“Yes.”

“But speaking from the perspective of a father-in-law, it is also true that I do not like the idea of a son-in-law doing such a thing.”

“… “

“Like you said, it’s true that someone has to do it. It doesn’t have to be you. Isn’t that so?”

“That… “

It was difficult to refute otherwise.

To be honest, there is no reason to help Rumi just because you know the original novel.

Moreover, there was no reason to defeat the Heavenly God Church.

‘Of course, now that the bad relationships have accumulated, you could say that’s because of that.’

If you hand over Rumi, it would be possible to offset such bad relations with a transaction, so it was not an appropriate answer.

It was difficult for me to answer the exact reason, so I paused for a moment.

Shien, who came with snacks, answers on my behalf.

“You don’t have to be Lord Dern, but you don’t have to be Lord Dern either.”

“… Shien.”

“Father. I don’t want to see Lord Dern in shackles because of me.”

“… “

Shien’s father seemed to be somewhat troubled by Shien’s words her her, so he cupped her forehead and spoke her as she sighed.

“Even so, I can’t put my future son-in-law in danger.”

“It’s okay. If Lord Dern is in danger, I can save him.”

“… “

When he saw Shien speaking somewhat triumphantly, he let out a long sigh and closed his eyes again.

This situation itself is quite troubling.

“I will tell you bluntly, I will refuse. “I’m still a prospective son-in-law, but I can’t put my son-in-law in danger.”

“Father!”

Shien protested on his behalf.

He stands up, waving his hand as if it’s not worth listening to.

“Don’t do anything pointless, spend your time at the academy faithfully, focus on your studies, and then marry Shien and live happily.”

Shien paused for a moment, wondering if those words were bad, but soon she came to her senses and protested again.

“Father! As I said before, I am Lord Dern… !”

He looked at Shien like that, then cut Shien off mid-sentence and spoke.

“Can you still say that even if Dern dies?”

“Well, that is.”

“I can’t. “You just want to take Dern’s side, you don’t understand Dern’s beliefs.”

“… “

He looked at Shien, who had become quiet, then turned her head to look at me and continued speaking.

“As I said before, there is no need for you to handle such matters. No, you shouldn’t do it. There are too many things on your back for you to do.”

I looked at him, who spoke more like a father than Dern’s father.

He sighs and gestures to me.

“Inspector Espin, who said saved you…” ” And recently, while saving the Herdi family, he also developed a deep relationship with Delia.”

I had no choice but to stop at those words.

Because I had no idea those two names would come up.

I suppressed my embarrassment and hardened my expression, and he looked at me and continued talking.

“As a father-in-law, I am quite angry, but I also understand that you are the ones for whom you will continue to be responsible. No, if it weren’t for you, there would be no one who could take responsibility for those two.”

“… “

“But what if you, the one bearing such responsibility, were to die? How are you going to resolve the situation without you?”

… Of course it can’t be solved.

Even if that is true for Delia, a member of the Herdi family.

In Espin’s case, all protection will disappear the moment I die.

‘In my heart, I hope that the Lercie family will continue to help me.’

It’s literally just the wind.

If I die, she will probably cut me off without a moment’s hesitation.

I laughed out loud as such conclusions came to mind as if they were obvious, and then slowly opened my mouth.

“There is no need to solve it. “As long as I don’t die, that’s fine.”

At those words, he speaks with a bitter smile.

“I know your abilities are outstanding. But as always, nothing is taken for granted in this world. The Archmage, who was considered the most powerful, was also assassinated, and the Sword Saint also died of illness. “I think it’s too early for you to give such a definite answer since you don’t have that level of power yet.”

It is inevitable to have doubts.

The only official information about me is what I did at the academy.

So, Shien’s father probably has the image of me as a promising academy student who created an outstanding remodeling formula.

‘Of course, that image may have been broken by showing that the bishop was captured alive earlier.’

It is unclear how he caught it and whether he caught it with his own efforts.

It was a situation where I had no choice but to be suspicious.

So, I was thinking about how to solve this problem.

Suddenly, I was able to come up with a good idea.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to just fight without having to persuade with words?’

If so, you might understand.

So let’s duel… No, this has gone too far.

It was only at the end that I came to my senses and came up with the next best solution.

‘I’d rather show you the magic I’m using.’

If I show my magic against the wizard in the Per family, he will be somewhat convinced.

So, I decided to give it a try and slowly opened my mouth.
