Chapter 104.2

‘It’s more suspicious that he didn’t send Karion to the academy.’

While it is possible not to inform people of Karion’s very existence, it was surprising to turn down the Academy, which is considered the best choice for wizards.

Yurina remembered the day when Reynard and Marquis De Flon met on the street. The Marquis laughed gleefully when he said that she had found the Blessed One.

‘Wait a minute.’

From there, something was already going wrong. At the time, Yurina only had doubts about how he knew about Blessed, but if you think about it, there were quite a few strange things.

‘He tried to take Ray, even though he knew he was under the patronage of House Carthia.’

This wasn’t all that strange, given the Marquis’s hostility towards the Carthia family. Rather, Yurina was afraid that he would try to take Reynard at any cost.

Although Karion attended Crohn Royal Academy in the original work, Yurina was desperate to hide Reynard in the academy to prevent him from meeting the Marquis and Lydia.

However, surprisingly, Marquis De Flon did nothing. He didn’t even try to take him away, much less come to see him.

‘But why?’

Yurina used to chalk it up to luck. Now, everything seemed strange. If the Marquis was ready to give up so easily, he should have left already when he found out that Reynard was serving the Carthia House.

But what the hell had changed in Marquis De Flone in such a short time, during that conversation in the street, that he had decided to abandon Reynard?

Yurina narrowed her eyes, replaying the vague memories in her mind.

– Forgive me for the belated reply, because I didn’t recognize you, Marquis. As you have heard, I am Reynard under the patronage of the Carthia family. I appreciate your recognition of my abilities, but I am completely satisfied with my current position.

– Reynard?

– Quite right.

– Reynard. Yes, Reynard…

At this very moment, the Marquis abandoned his attempts to drag Reynard into the camp De Flon. Was it because of Ray’s confident refusal?

‘It can’t be.’

He wasn’t a man who would give up so easily. After much thought, Yurina remembered that Marquis De Flon reacted to Reynard’s name.

– What an interesting name. This is an ancient name which means ‘Hope’. Did you know?

– I didn’t know I had been given such an undeserved honor.

– Didn’t your parents even explain to you what your name means? I think you might be a hereditary wizard if your parents named you in the ancient language.

– My parents were not wizards. And it wasn’t them who gave me that name.

– Then who gave you that name?

When Reynard pointed to Yurina, Marquis De Flon looked at her with his creepy eyes.

– Did the young lady learn the ancient language? I haven’t heard that you’re talented in magic.

At that moment, Yurina was suddenly struck by a realization.

“I guess he knew there was another Blessed besides you.”

There was no other reasons.

Marquis De Flon, according to the idea of the novel, didn’t accidentally find Karion in the orphanage, but rather wandered around the shelters looking for Karion, just like Yurina.

When she saw the original work, Yurina thought that Marquis De Flon, who was wandering around the orphanage, accidentally discovered the talented Karion and sponsored him. He believed that red eyes were the symbol of a goddess, and that all those with red eyes were gifted with magic, something that would later be revealed.

However, when Marquis De Flon met Yurina 7 years ago, he spoke as if he already knew about ‘Blessed’. He looked like he was looking for ‘Blessed’ as well.

Is it correct that such a person discovered Karion by accident, or was it correct that he was looking for him deliberately?

‘But how did you know Karion was in an orphanage?’

A skeptical question popped into her head. But there was no evidence to support it.

Their meeting with Karion came to mind.

As soon as he met her, Karion cried, asking if they had met before, and approached her supposedly to say something.

What the hell was he trying to say?

“Ray, don’t get me wrong, listen.”

“What?”

“I think we should see Karion.”

Yurina quickly added before strange thoughts entered his mind.

“Actually, I’ve met Karion before.”

His arm wrapped around her waist tightened.

“When?”

“On the hunting competition. We bumped into each other for a moment while I went for a walk to get some fresh air. And he said something strange.”

“What do you mean?”

“He looked at me and asked if we had seen each other before.”

Raynard leaned closer and whispered:

“You don’t have to listen.”

“But he saw me and cried. Like seeing someone you really know.”

“…”

“I know you don’t like it. But what came to my mind were the words he said then and the fact that he wanted to talk. If we want to investigate the Marquis, I think we should talk to Karion.”

Yurina gently stroked his tense back.

“I’m not saying we’re going to meet one on one. I also don’t want to face Karion alone. If you don’t mind, let’s go to him together. What do you think?”

“…”

“Do you remember what Lydia De Flon said? I think a letter will come soon. At that time, she insinuates that if you say that you want to be friends with Karion, I think we can meet, how is it?”

He didn’t say anything for a long time, as if thinking about it, but he reluctantly nodded.

“Okay. If it’s for you, then so be it.”
