Chapter 194

It's good.

When Ian opened the Star Tower interrogation room, Mariv was looking out the window. A single beam of light shining into a dark room. Even while the wizards were moving piles of documents, he kept his eyes fixed on the outside. It's as if he can't believe that the future he didn't envision has come..

“Sir, please sit down. Let the interrogation begin..”

Unlike Gale, whose nape was torn, he was intact without any major injuries. Although it is occasionally covered in dust, it looks noble for someone who was the main culprit who brought chaos to the imperial palace. Most of the main forces, including his aides, died with their limbs tattered..

“you yourself?”

Mariv looked back. She seemed to be smiling, but her disappointed eyes were calm. She wondered where Ian had seen that, and soon realized that it was the look in Gail's eyes while she was lying on the bed. We're anxious to kill each other, but our blood connection is certain..

“That's right. We will be courteous, so please cooperate..”

“Since it's an interrogation, I tend to put a lot of effort into unnecessary things. If it were me, I would never do such a bothersome thing..”

The victory has already been lost. He stabbed the father-in-law emperor, robbed his servants, and tried to kill his brother. It is said that he will be deprived of even the imperial family name, and the end will be beheading. Why waste time on interrogations when the outcome can be determined without a trial?.

But Ian just flips through the documents indifferently..

“If you were me, you would say that, but I'm not..”

All procedures for the trial will be conducted accurately and accurately. That is the only way to straighten out the discipline of the imperial palace that the two princes had disrupted, and to establish the legitimacy and centralization of the next emperor, Jin..

“First, it is about the attempt to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor. There is a record that His Majesty has been having trouble breathing while sleeping for several months now..”

“iced coffee. You must have had an uncomfortable sleep. Even seeing dead people. But what does that have to do with me??”

percussion.

Ian presented the material that Gail had handed over. What I received in return for turning a blind eye to the Wesley curse and neutralizing the Sildam potion..

Mariv slowly turned the pages of the paper with a look telling her to read it. Judging by the way he's laughing out loud, he seems to have realized something..

“This is the reason I got along with Gale..”

I realized why I hadn't decided on a clear line between myself and Gale. Marib could not deny that the center of the whole situation was in his Ian's hands..

“Say something like this to a born-again bastard in the border, haha. under.”

“If you have something to argue about, do it..”

As Ian said that, he leisurely scanned another piece of paper with his hands. It means that you are ready to refute the argument..

“Since this is evidence that will be put up at trial, it would be better to do as much as you can..”

Mariv leaned back and made eye contact with Ian. He was born as a prince and would die as an emperor, he promised himself every moment and believed so..

Is it the end? Is this really the end? Mariv muttered as she looked at the sunlight pouring in front of her. The victory has been broken, but my neck has not been broken yet..

“Isn’t that what you ordered, Sir Ian?.”

Stop. The wizard who was recording the interrogation in the corner flinched. The same goes for those who were observing. Everyone frowned at Mariv’s sudden remark..

“It's me?”

“okay. Sir Ian, you urged me to do so..”

“Sir, I was in Hiello at that time..”

“You are a wizard, you had a way..”

Ian realized Mariv's intention and let out a bitter laugh. It was a ploy to prolong the trial process by providing absurd testimony during the interrogation process, and it was intended to create an opening for any opposing forces in the imperial palace to confront Ian..

When the clerk put down his pen, Marib blurted out:.

“How do you tailor records to be used in history according to your taste? Don’t forget even a single tosi..”

It was a trivial threat, saying that if you did that, you would behave badly in the trial..

With a light hand gesture, Ian commanded the recording to continue. Anyway, it's enough to just cut out the things that don't make sense and aren't worth explaining..

“I'm just glad I'm four months old now. If you ascended the throne, I think Bariel, not the imperial palace, would have been ruined..”

Ian said that beyond not having any qualities, he was downright ugly..

Veins appeared on Mariv's temples, but he just kept smiling. Because humiliation for an opportunity is nothing. He could do anything if he could live, if he could tell God of the crisis he was in..

“The third commander, Beols, witnessed and testified that the sword was swung at His Majesty the Emperor. There is nothing to question about this. The journeyman you robbed is still missing. What did you do??”

“I handed it over to the Ministry of Magic. Isn’t that why you saved me like this??”

Kwaang!

“Ian. I can't bear to listen!”

thud!

A door that closes without the slightest hesitation. The way they treated it as if it were something dirty was remarkable. Jin rubbed her forehead and looked up at her Ian..

“Sir Ian. I'm sorry for interrupting your work..”

“no. I was thinking about quitting because I had no income..”

“...Well, you know.”

“yes. Lowering.”

Jin, who was leaving the star tower, stopped..

“I want you to know for sure.”

“What?”

Ian made eye contact with Jin and bent his knees. She must have heard all of Marib's nonsense earlier. She knew he was with Jin. Instead of listening to me scold you, she should have told you to shut up a long time ago..

“the reason you follow me.”

“hmm.”

Jin clenched his fists. It was something she would always point out. Whether now was the right time was another question, but anyway..

Why does Ian help him? Why does Ian consider himself precious? Are we really seeing it as just one ‘card’ to face Arsene??

then? What should I do??

“Lowering.”

Ian laughed slightly. It was obvious that all kinds of thoughts were running around in her small head. He quietly told me one by one..

“I know you might be confused. But in times like these, you need to stay calm, read the situation, and use it to your advantage..”

A place with no permanent enemies or friends.

The imperial palace is that kind of place..

“Accept the essence itself and do not discriminate between right and wrong..”

Is it right if Ian held Jin's hand out of sympathy, and is it wrong if he held Jin's hand because he had a plan? Whether you look at it this way or that way, both are beneficial and right for Jin..

“Instead, if you know the essence, it will be easy to prepare for changing circumstances in the future..”

“That means, no matter what Sir Ian's feelings were, he should use you first??”

“That's right. And when your authority is stable, take a breath and look at me again. Then you will have a different perspective..”

Xiaoxi, who was listening from the side, looked at his master curiously. I have a mindset that makes it easy to say “use it and throw it away.” I know that Ian is sincere in his treatment of Jin, but does Jin really know??

“...It's too difficult.”

“it's okay. You will learn firsthand.”

“I told you to know the essence.”

Jin squeezed the hem of Ian’s clothes. Then she boldly opened her eyes and made eye contact with Ian..

“Then answer my question earlier..”

“It's a reason to follow my descendants.?”

Ian shook his head and laughed..

“Because you have a huge wound..”

Emperor's Mark.

Curse of the Oracle.

And the fate of being abandoned by your mother.

Everything was a huge wound. Ian asked, removing Jin's hand that was holding the hem of her dress..

“How do you see it??”

“...I want to believe that I told the truth.”

“yes. Then you can just believe it. You are the center of the world, your faith is the truth..”

Damn-! Deng!

At that time, a huge clock bell was heard from afar. It was a sound that told me that there was not much time left until the gates were opened..
