CH 39.1

The young man put on the mask again and familiarly guided Luya along the way, avoiding the factory robots’ inspection range.

Luya had a lot to ask him, but she hesitated and couldn’t speak. When he took her to the changing room of the radiation elimination staff, Luya couldn’t help but ask, “Have you never thought of running away?”

Whenever she meets a good person, she always softens her heart unconsciously. Even if she can do very limited things, she still hopes to help others. She is such a ridiculous idealist.

As if Luya had said something unbelievable, the young man walking in the front was stunned, then looked back at her.

“There is nowhere to escape,” he replied with his head down.

“Dying at work is not much different from waiting to die after being exiled in the wild.”

“It’s not the same. One is that there is no hope, and the other is probabilistic survival. The biggest difference between the two is that at least the latter is free.”

“Freedom…”

The young man was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, “That is not what I desire. I have other things that I care more about than freedom.”

“Can you tell me then?”

Behind the curtain, Luya asked the young man while picking off the trash stuck on her body.

The young man sighed inaudibly. He may have been lonely for a long time and slowly began to tell Luya his story.

“When I was a child, I was born in the Count’s manor as the son of a housekeeper. I was born to serve the Count’s eldest daughter. So when the eldest lady was born, I felt unprecedented joy. I will never forget that moment.”

“When the eldest lady was born, I was only six years old, but we grew up together. My father asked me to be a good servant. I also followed my father’s orders and never crossed boundaries… But the eldest lady never regarded me as a servant. She was very kind o me. She is very smart and very good at learning, as if she knew more than others when she was born. She has always said that all men are created equal and that imperialism is not good. I begged the eldest lady not to talk nonsense; it would cause trouble. But the eldest lady was full of confidence and said that she must enter politics and change the Asdera Empire…”

“It seems that this is also a transmigrator.”

Luya spotted it in an instant, mumbled, and nodded.

Only the transmigrator from a socialist country can be so advanced in thinking. She seems to be an extraordinary girl if she wants to overthrow the empire.

“So what happened to the lady?”

Although looking at the empire, She feels that the eldest lady must have been unsuccessful. I don’t know if she gave up her ideals or did something disrespectful, causing her servant to commit the crime for her and go to jail. 

Luya couldn’t help filling her brain with a lot of dog blood stories, but the young man’s answer made Luya stunned.

“The eldest died because of an accident when she was eight years old.”

“Ugh?!”

The young man continued, “The eldest lady is the only daughter of the Countess. The countess can’t bear this blow and has been unwilling to accept the passing of the eldest lady. The master loved his wife so much that he accepted the psychologist’s advice and had to deceive her. Because the eldest lady was ill, she was sent to the country to rest. After many years, the lady always believed that her daughter was still alive. Until one day, a girl from the country came to the Count’s manor and claimed she was the eldest lady the Count raised in the country.”

“Wait, didn’t the lady pass away?”

Luya looked at the young man weirdly while changing her clothes. Has this story turned into a horror movie?

“Yes, that girl is not the eldest lady.”

The young man narrated calmly, as if telling a story, “I didn’t know where she got the eldest lady’s belongings, posing as the eldest lady. The first person to see her was the lady, and the lady didn’t have the slightest doubt about it. , She was convinced that her daughter was back. Although Lord Count knew the truth, he did not want to make his wife sad and accepted the impostor.”

“Does this matter have something to do with you?”

Luya gradually developed a kind of unfavorable premonition and doubt.

“Yes… The master treated me very well. He didn’t want to poke a hole in this matter, but I couldn’t accept that imposter. I entrusted someone with investigating the girl’s identity but learned something unexpected… She was born in an orphanage. She escaped to the capital after the Earth’s evil eye appeared. I don’t know who gave her advice and chose to pretend to be the daughter of Count Derek’s family. I took away the first lady’s identity and handed the investigation materials to the court. Unexpectedly, the girl found out what I wanted to do. She first tried to be strong, cried to the lady, and framed me… Finally, the lady who did not want to accept the truth sent me to the court with the charge of falsely accusing a noble.”

“…I have an unrelated question to ask.”
