Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family - Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family chapter 28

6. The gate didn’t open in the first month of marriage – 03

“So, did you run away without being able to answer the Grand Duchess?”

“I didn’t run away, I just took one step back to advance two steps.”

“…Because of that, people in the world say they ran away?”

From noble mtl dot com

Cirilla looks at me with a puzzled expression as if he really doesn’t like something.

I hate to admit it, but what Cirilla said was a fact itself.

Because the choice I made after hearing the confession that was not a confession from the Grand Duchess was neither positive nor negative, but a path to leave everything to the future me.

‘… Uh, sorry, can I answer that tomorrow? Something is complicated in my head to give an answer right now… ‘

‘… Thug.’

‘Yes? What the hell did you just say… ?’

‘Cowards! You’re just a coward! Reiner!’

I know. The fact that I, too, feel like an asshole.

But what can I do? I mean, I never ran away because I wanted to run away.

This is the first time I’ve been confessed to by a woman since I was born.

Regardless of her influence, I put off spending time with the princess for the time being until tomorrow, and I called Sei and Cirilla to sort out the new information she generously gave me, and we started talking together.

Cirilla aside, Sei’s presence among us has grown so much lately.

Roughly speaking, if she didn’t have Sei, she was such a competent secretary that Cirilla and I would have to suck our fingers like Yurika, let alone proceed with the plan.

It is said that the heavenly god created the world in a week and wanted to have someone to assist him on the throne, so he created the heavenly tribes to be his limbs.

She looked like she was only a year or two older than Cirilla at best.

But considering her actual age, it is presumed that she is much older than her grandparents, whose photos are occasionally posted on some Korean site, so it is quite natural that she is competent in a way. .

In addition, if you trust 100% in the scriptures of the age of mythology, which were transcribed from the words of the heavenly gods, it is safe to say that Sei’s age is almost the same as the earth’s age.

‘Then, will Sei’s age be around 2020?’

At the time I fell into this world, it was around the year 2020 AD, so I wonder if it’s okay to look at her Sei’s age to that extent.

‘However, she is only 20 to 20 years old. The age of the earth is much younger than I thought.’

If you look at places like fantasy novels, 10,000-year-old dragons and thousands-year-old elves often appear.

But since ancient times, women do not like it when others recklessly mention their age, so the moment I made a firm determination to take the truth about our angel’s age to the grave with my sweet heart. , Sei carefully opened her mouth to see if she had sorted out all her thoughts.

“First of all, to summarize the story, first of all, it is not a bad thing for us that the imperial delegation is passing the time without boarding the warp gate. Both the master and me, in order to welcome the imperial delegation, we needed time to prepare in our own way.”

“I don’t think so.”

“Besides, the representative of the delegation is the Marquis of Illivatus… From my point of view, he is a very unpleasant person. In some ways, it feels quite welcome, though.”

“What, did the two of you have a one-on-one relationship before?”

“There have been a few occasions where we briefly ran into each other a long time ago. I can’t even say that I was in a good relationship, even empty words.”

“Hmm, I mean, I had a one-on-one relationship with that face-impaired person. Ah, then the person who created the scar on the right side of the bastard’s face is no different… “

“… Hey, wait a minute. Young master. I’m a little sorry for interrupting you, but no matter how much I think about it, I feel like I have to point out one thing.”

Agariro was apologizing to me, but Cirilla was glaring at me with an expression that said she wasn’t apologetic at all.

I wanted to forcefully instill the lack of etiquette by sticking my head into it one more time, but no matter how much I did, there was a risk that if I landed three blows in one day, I could harbor resentment toward me, so I decided to be generous this time. Decided.

“Yes, what is it?”

“Boss, have you ever personally met the Marquis of Illivatus?”

“No? You’ve never met before?”

In the illustration on the monitor, it was a face that I had seen more than my mother, but I had never actually encountered it.

“Or was the Marquis of Illivatus an enemy of the Kreuze family?”

“Uh… wouldn’t it? Maybe?”

I was able to realize after thinking for a long time about where in the world the Krojce family was located. Oh, come to think of it, Reiner’s last name was ‘Kroyce’. Then it was no different, it was my family.

“Then, Master, why do you keep using the word ‘face disabled’ to the Marquis of Illivatus?”

“Hmm?”

“According to the Master’s words, that person is someone who has not met the Master and has no hostile relationship, right? Then you should refrain from using derogatory words such as facial disabilities towards people. Even if that person is a person with a facial disability, using the word facial disabled for a person with a facial disability causes great sadness to the hearing person… “

“I’m sorry, but are you using more demeaning words now?”

I wonder if he enjoys using demeaning words while pretending not to be like that.

“And by the way, Cirilla, even if everything you say is right, we don’t need to take care of that bastard’s human rights at all.”

“Why?”

“Because human rights apply to people, not bugs.”

I smiled and glanced at Sei, who was sitting quietly next to me.

“Looks like you didn’t explain anything to him? I expected you to tell him everything while teaching magic.”

“Master didn’t give me any words. But I just judged that I couldn’t dare to act presumptuously as your faithful servant.”

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at those words that were unmatched in knowledge that flowed from her mouth. Anyway, the Elyos don’t have this kind of flexibility, so they’re masked.

“… Uh, I’m sorry, but I have no idea what the hell the two of you are talking about. Could you please explain a bit so that I can understand easily?”

“Okay, so let’s explain everything in one word so even our stupid Cyril can understand.”

I shrugged my shoulders lightly and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

“The Marquis of Illivatus is a demon.”

“… Yes?”

So to put it simply, that bastard is not a human, but a dog.

****

Among the settings in K-RPG games with a fantasy background, after being eaten like a beef bone in almost all games, there are now a few settings that make us yawn instead of arousing our interest.

For example, when phrases such as Elyos and Asmodians in the beginning, XXX year of the Imperial calendar, and waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling come out from the prologue, don’t you feel the urge to press ALT+F4 right away?

But if you think about it backwards, I think that kind of setting was very popular in the past, so game makers still can’t throw away their lingering attachments and continue to worry about the Elyosmajo setting.

And 「Erantia Saga」 Is also a classic game of the classics that has been released for almost 10 years.

This game also means that it was a game that was firmly rooted in the setting of the Elyos Demon tribe that once predominated in the era.

“Haven’t you read children’s books? Isn’t it a kind of common sense that if there is a race called the Elyos in the world, there is also a race called the Demon race?”

For example, if there is a kickback reflection item that can block the boss’s kickback function, I think it’s the same reason as there is a super captain item to counter the kickback reflection.

“I thought it was just a story in a children’s book. What kind of retarded child in the world would believe what is in a children’s book? Isn’t the young master throwing something like a goura on me right now?”

Saying that, Cirilla looked at me with distrustful eyes. At times like this, I wonder if he is conducting some sort of social experiment to see how far my patience is at the limit.

“… Cirilla, the identity of the Marquis of Illivatus is indeed a demon. I can also guarantee that the words of the young master are true.”

“Oh, is that so? If Sei-unnie said that, it must be true. Demons really did exist in this world. That’s interesting.”

“…..”

Cyrilla showed deep distrust in my words, but believed Sei’s words without a single doubt. How on earth does he react like that because in his mind, how much credit is the person I am?

“But when you reach the level of the Elyos, do you go around memorizing who the Asmodians are and what their names are? Are the demons an enemy that the Elyos have to fight against?”

“No, that’s not it. There are plenty of demons that even I can’t grasp the name or existence of. What I know of the existence of Ilibatus is… As I just said, it is because there is a past that has been entangled in some kind of relationship with him.”

“… Relationship? Sei-unnie with the demons?”

Can there be a relationship between the Elyos and the Asmodians? From Cirilla’s point of view, it would sound more absurd than saying that there was a string of ties between a cute dog raised at home and a nerd who is obsessed with bodybuilding.

“I once melted his right face with holy power during a battle in the past. That is why the right side of his face is now full of scars.”

Cirilla opened her mouth wide as she saw Sei talking as if she was embarrassed for some reason.

“To sum it up in one word, it was Sei who made that bastard face-impaired. In the first place, there are only Elyos who can leave such scars on demons with regenerative powers like cockroaches.”

Well, it’s a bit unfortunate that his face melted like a cheeseburger, but since Illivatus was also able to eat livelihood after registering as a disabled person at a district office or similar place, I wonder if they’re good teachers to each other.

“This is really unexpected. I simply thought that a high-ranking official from the empire was coming as the representative of the delegation, but in fact, it’s really hard to believe that the high-ranking official was a demon….”

Cirilla, who had muttered something of her absentmindedly, hardened her face as if she suddenly realized something about her.

“… No, wait. The fact that the identity of the Marquis of Ilibatus was actually a demon means… “

“Your understanding is one beat slow, Cirilla.”

I looked at Cirilla with her shocked expression and burst out laughing at her.

“I’ll admit that the face-impaired man is now perfectly disguised as a human, but was it really that no one in the Empire had the ability to notice the bastard’s camouflage? Could it be that the empire was incompetent enough to stand by and not notice that a foreign substance was interfering with its headquarters?”

“…..”

“Why did Sei, an Elyos who deserves everyone’s respect, hide herself in the basement of a casino? And what about the demons who are not even as good as buggers, who are so good at it, can they stiffly carry their faces? Didn’t you feel that something was strange?”

Unless this world has a bizarre worldview like the Elyos, Demon, and Reversal World, there is only one answer that penetrates a series of events.

“…The Empire, in fact, means that it has already been destroyed.”

“Esaktada. Cirilla.”

Yes. Cirilla’s guess was correct. The empire had already been destroyed a long time ago, and the imperial family had become a playground encroached upon by demons.

An empire created by humans and made by humans does not already exist in the world.

This world, and the empire, was a closed world that had already been destroyed a long time ago.
