CH 57

: Adviser Sable (2)

" Why is Tolke coming out of this place?"

Jamie looked at Tolke's corpse and asked Sable for an explanation. No matter how much you think about it, it makes no sense to see Tolke coming out of the garden pond.

Although it lives in fresh water, the lake is not large, and Tolke's habitat was in rivers in the first place.

"Since the lake is connected to the Bills River, monsters sometimes appear."

Yes?

" You may not believe it, but this lake was created for that purpose from the beginning. Do you think it's the Marquis's hobby?

I do not understand.

"So, to put it simply ."

To summarize:

The Marquis enjoyed hunting underwater monsters twice a year, and there were quite a few ferocious underwater monsters in the Bills River crossing Apton.

So, the water of the Bills River was drawn to the front yard of the Marquis, and a lake was created.

"Of course, we are doing our best to defend ourselves. The entrance to the river is magically treated, so monsters cannot approach it."

"But how about today?"

"There are times when magic weakens. Apparently today was such a day."

Jamie chuckled and thought of the Marquis Bell.

I didn't know that the old man had such a hobby.

I don't know if I know the hobbies of nobles.

"Let's go back."

"This is true. I'm sorry that this happened on the first meeting. Get some rest, Master Jamie."

Jamie went back to her room with Sable off her.

Hearing what had happened last night, the Marquis ran to Jamie for a month, as if he was very surprised.

"Are you okay? Are there any injuries?"

"Thanks to Sable, it's all right."

"I am so glad."

Hearing that there were no injuries, the Marquis sighed in relief.

"Anyway, that's weird. It's been a while since you checked out the defense, so why did Tolke come in?

He said that his daughter would return after 7 years, so he rechecked all the places of the marquis.

Because they are children, if there is an accident, even a big one will happen. Then Tolke appeared from the lake.

"It seems that the wizard in charge of the inspection made a mistake. I'm really sorry.

"It's really okay. I was just a little surprised yesterday."

The Marquis Bell was deeply moved to think that his grandson would say such a thing to reassure him.

He praised Sable among the thrones standing behind his back.

"Thanks to you, our Jamie was not hurt. Thank you so much."

no. I just did what I had to do. And without me, Master Jamie would have defeated Tolke himself."

If it was 'Lightning Thunder' that Jamie cast yesterday, Tolke would have been made of black charcoal.

"As the rumors say, you were really good at it. It was an honor for me to see with these eyes."

"It's overrated."

Jamie thought Sable, who bowed his head back to himself, was a pretty decent guy.

Although he has great skills, he is also humble.

'Because I'm from the Welltons?'

Showing respect, no matter what, made Jamie feel slightly better.

No matter how long they live, they receive praise, and there is no human in the world who will not like it.

"Jamie!"

Sears heard the belatedly and ran to Jamie and hugged him tightly.

"Are you okay? Where are you hurt?"

Jamie was choked, but knew she had to explain to get it out of her grip, so she did her best to summarize what she said earlier.

"Really dangerous. Next time, don't go out alone. Okay?

"Yeah-"

Jamie replied formally. Because she wasn't the one who wouldn't leave.

At that time, the servant from outside brought the good news.

"The Little Lord Drex Bell is back!"

Sears opened his eyes and jumped up.

Older brother?!

"Looks like you are here now."

At the words of the Marquis, Sears took Jamie in his arms and started running towards the entrance.

"Oh, Mom!"

It happened without Jamie having a chance to do anything.

Fearing that he might fall, he grabbed Sears' neck without realizing it.

Sears saw someone and shouted with a bright face.

Older brother!

"Sears?"

The man who looked exactly like Sears looked at her and widened his eyes.

"I heard you were coming. Did you come yesterday?"

Huh! How much is this?"

"That's it. Anyway, that kid... ."

Huh. Jamie. Should I say hello?"

Jamie was distracted, but nodded at the man who looked exactly like Sears.

"This is Jamie Welton. Good morning.

haha. I'm finally seeing my nephew. nice to meet. My name is Drex Bell. I will be your eldest uncle."

With the same smile as his mother, Drex grabbed Jamie's little hand and waved it.

"Your daughter?"

"You will still be sleeping. I have some urgent work to do, so I left it behind."

I'll see you later on the second nephew. Anyway, it's been a really long time. This guy."

"Come and tell me now, I'm sorry. brother.

Siblings, seeing each other for the first time in 7 years, solved their long hiatus by hugging each other tightly.

Drex released Sears and greeted his father, Marquis Belle, who had arrived later.

I'm back, Dad.

okay.

"Then Sears. I have something to talk about with my father for a while, so I'll see you when we have dinner.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Sears widened his eyes and saw the back of the Marquis, Drex, and Sable moving away.

"Is there something bigger than your brother's return?"

Sears wrinkled one eye and folded his arms.

Then he asks his son.

"Isn't that right, Jamie?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Sheesh. Work is more important than my brother. But what happened? You look a little serious."

As she said, the three of them disappeared while talking seriously with quite dark faces.

Is something serious?

Suddenly, in Jamie's mind, the soldiers he saw on the way here came to mind.

'Maybe something related to it.'

Then Jamie looked around.

'Come to think of it, why can't I see that Beiryl yangban?'

The sword master who was there yesterday is not seen today.

* * *

Marquis Belle asked his eldest son, Drex, with his clasped hands clenched his chin.

"Did you know anything?"

"There have been results."

Drex put the bag on the desk and took out the documents inside.

"See you too."

Thank you.

The Marquis and Sable looked at the documents Drex had brought and grimaced.

said the marquis.

"Is the [Demon]'s notoriety spreading to the surrounding estates?"

"It seems so. It seems that the lords have already heard the news about [Demon]."

Drex is on his way to visit Apton and neighboring estates at the command of the Marquis.

"But the other estates only talked about [daemons] and didn't take any damage."

"It seems that damage was only on our side."

Serial killings are currently taking place in Apton.

If it was a simple serial murder, it would have been difficult to solve it, but the vicious killing method, the movement of the new and unknown criminal, and finally the 'mark of the devil' was clearly the work of the [Daemon].

"The soldiers are still searching for their traces, but they say nothing has been found."

At Sable's words, the Marquis sighed softly.

"They are seeking revenge."

[Demon] was completely disintegrated when former headmaster Ispil Bell killed the leader of [Demon].

But now, 50 years later, they are about to show up again.

To avenge a long-standing grudge.

The corners of Marquis Bell's frozen lips rose slightly.

good. Let it go with your tunes."

He said with his eyes wide open.

"Let me know what happens when you touch the bell."

[Daemon] will once again be erased from the world.

by Bell's hand.

"Shoo-woong!"

Sarah held Bena high on the bed and shook it to and fro.

It was a game of flying, and Bena was a flying role.

"Shoo~"

-Mas... foundation.

Bena's eyes go round and round.

I've been doing that for over 30 minutes already, so I'm just dizzy.

But Sarah seemed unwilling to quit.

buy it. live fast, live fast. Bena is having a hard time."

"Yeah-"

The answer is good Sarah.

Of course, Bena's situation did not change.

Sara, who smiled brightly and shook Bena back and forth, grumbled about what was so good.

The child has no malice.

'Innocence is the scariest law.'

Still, I didn't know that if I left it more than this, Bena would really die.

buy it. Can't you see that Bena is suffering?

"Are you suffering from Bena?"

The game of flying stopped when I heard that it was painful.

Sarah opened her eyes and looked at Bena.

Vena was drooping as if she had lost all her strength.

"Are you sick of Bena?"

Sara rocked back and forth, and Bena swayed helplessly.

"Is Bena dead?"

When the squirrel doesn't even move, Sara looks at her brother with a worried face.

Jamie sighed and walked over to her.

'Wake up, ma'am.'

-master. a little bit I feel like throwing up.

The motion sickness seems to have arrived.

Jamie said, stroking her sister's hair.

"I didn't die. But if you keep doing it, it could be really bad. Does Sarah want Bena dead?"

"It's chill."

Sarah crying and talking.

Jamie grinned as she looked into her big, watery eyes.

Sarah gently held Bena in her arms.

Do not hurt.

He then gently stroked the pink hair with his cute hand.

'Are you okay?'

-Thank you so much, Master.

Bena's black eyes fluttered with tears as well.

Jamie shook her head and walked back to the window.

I saw people running around busily outside.

'Is this really a big deal?'

If you're wondering what's going on but haven't told you yet, is it because you don't want to bother?

'It's not a matter of another territory.'

He and Sears were originally the daughters of the family, but are now members of the Welton family.

I wouldn't say it doesn't really matter, but I don't want to worry anyone who's leaving anyway.

Jamie decided not to think about it any more, as it had nothing to do with him.

'Besides, when can I go to the Pyro Gyoen?'

The reason he came to Apton was to have a conversation with the goddess Pyro.

However, even though it has been two days since I came to Apton, the denomination has not been mentioned once.

If you wait like this, it might be the day you go home.

'Let's go out alone.'

The sun was still up, but there was still plenty of time until evening.

Sarah was also obsessed with Bena, so there was nothing more to worry about.

Having made the decision, Jamie told Sarah who was playing with Bena.

buy it. Oppa, I'm going to go somewhere for a while, so I'm having fun with Bena. Understand?

"Yeah!"

After looking contentedly at his younger brother who replied cheerfully, he cautiously left the room.

- No, Master!!

At that moment, I heard Bena's scream in my head.

Hi-Hi! vena-!

Sara, who thought they were the only two left, started to love Bena fiercely again.

Jamie cautiously left the mansion, leaving Bena's non-screaming scream behind.

Then he flew towards the Pyro Bridge.
