I Became The Academy Necromancer - Chapter 287
287. Blessing
Goben comes and the next day.
I didn’t bother to invite Iluania and Goben over and have a meal with them.
If it had been Graypond or Lovern, I would have gone for a high-end restaurant, but there were no such old-fashioned restaurants in North Wales.
I just asked the family chef to provide me with carefully selected ingredients and dishes.
“Wow, it’s delicious!”
Goben is eating it hungrily.
I knew that you wouldn’t know anything about dining etiquette.
I didn’t even want it.
I don’t intend to criticize them for devouring them, as they are so urgent that the word “Voracious” Is appropriate.
But Iluaniah, who was sitting next to her, was feeling rather guilty.
“A little…… “Eat it slowly.”
A word from Iluania that I could not bear in the end. Goben’s fork stops and she lowers her head as she looks at me.
“Well, I’m sorry. “It’s my first time experiencing something this delicious.”
“It’s okay. “Eat as much as you want.”
I had no intention of saying anything about eating. Illuania’s expression is still dark.
She bowed her head in apology to me and continued eating without Goben knowing.
After the meal, it was tea time.
It’s been a while since I’ve had tea that Finden Eye hasn’t brewed, so I carefully savor the scent and get to the point.
“I heard that no decision has been made yet.”
“Yes… ….”
“Hmm.”
Goben clears his throat as if he has something to say, then boldly beats her chest and declares.
“I know that I am not trustworthy.”
“… ….”
“But. But yes. “I really value Iluania.”
He was a passionate man.
I guess it was because I just cut the steak, but my body was overflowing with energy.
“I used to live as a gangster in the past. “At that time, I didn’t know anything and just lived my life.”
It feels like listening to the testimony of a converted religious person. It wasn’t that bad.
I clasp my hands on the table and listen to his story.
“Yes, that’s right. “When I was living like an idiot, I fell in love with Iluania and got her pregnant.”
“… ….”
“I had no thoughts at the time. “She knew Illuania’s charms, but to her, her relationship with me was just part of her job.”
Goben adds, “But.”
“Colton, do you remember?”
“Yes, he was a gang leader in North Sweden.”
Not only a brothel but also a bar. He was a tycoon who even sold drugs.
In the original Deius era, Darius and Deia could not arrest him because he was involved in medicine and had a close relationship.
As I turned into myself, I actually arrested him myself.
It was also an incident that followed from the first meeting with Iluania.
“When Colton was arrested, I realized a lot of things. “I was no different from a petty criminal, so after serving a short sentence, I became a new person.”
His expression made me feel like a person who had truly met God and repented.
[I don’t think it’s a lie.]
Stella, who sat next to me, also gave strength to his testimony.
“I became a coachman using my skills from pulling carriages in gangs. In recognition of my efforts, I became part of a large group called Wellingson Company!”
A success story of his own, going from the bottom of a gang to becoming the coachman of a large commercial company.
He clenches his fists and his body trembles.
“In the meantime, we arrived at North Weden. “We were delivering goods to the Clark Republic.”
“Did you happen to hear the story of Iluania while stopping by North Sweden?”
She nods her head vigorously, saying yes.
“That’s right! When you look at the timing…… The memorial priest was also away. “At that time, Iluania spent most of her time with me.”

Goben speaks carefully.
Now that I thought about it, I thought that in Goben’s eyes, it might look like I wasn’t trying to let go of Iluania.
Because her original Deius loved her with all his heart.
Iluania smiles bitterly and cherishes her words. There was no reason to explain my current condition to Goben.
[…] ….]
Warmth felt from the back.
Stella, who was next to her, quietly clung to her.
It seems like he won’t let it be taken away.
If I were alone, I would have said something, but I will move on for now.
“Don’t worry about me. “Her relationship with Illuania has ended, and I can only hope she moves on with her settled life.”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
A noticeably brighter expression.
Goben seems to have gained courage as he speaks faster.
“The moment he heard the news, something struck his heart! Living as a coachman is satisfying, but an even greater sense of fulfillment has come to me!”
“… ….”
“I want to take responsibility! Iluania and her child. “It’s not a lie that I wasn’t right about her in the past, but I still loved her with all my heart.”
It was a passionate courtship.
I thought I knew why Iluania was shaken.
She said that if Darius had not intervened, she would have accepted it right away.
“Tomorrow we have to drive the carriage again to the Clark Republic. It’s not that far and you can be back in a week! “You’ll make a lot of money!”
Confident yet bold tone of voice. It was not difficult to see that he was sincere.
“I understand your feelings.”
“Thank you so much for your understanding.”
Goben stands up from his chair and bows deeply. This time he looks towards Iluania.
“What do you think?”
“I… ….”
Iluania, who was looking down at her table, hesitated for a moment and answered honestly.
“I wish Sevilla had a father.”
“Yes.”
If she wants it too, there is no reason for me to stop her anymore.
“I sincerely hope that both of you will be blessed in the future.”
“Thank you!”
“… ….”
Goben smiles brightly and Iluania feels sorry for me.
She shakes her head telling him not to make that face.
“If you need help, come. “If I can, I will help you both materially and spiritually.”
“Are you saying that much?”
“It’s too much.”
The two people’s eyes widen and they look embarrassed. That was what it meant to have a memorial envoy, who was directly under the king, as a subordinate.
But.
I spoke with a faint smile on my face without realizing it.
“This is something a man who loved you very much asked me to do. “I owe him a lot.”
Deius Verdi’s wish while handing over his body.
He was confident that he would do anything to hear that.
“So, Goben.”
It was sincere.
I sincerely hoped he was the right man. He could probably say that he wanted it more than Illuania did.
“I will protect you.”
Makes eye contact with Goben.
There was a glimmer of emotion in his eyes.
“You make them both happy.”
This was the only request I could make.

“Nothing?”
Deia, who was disassembling and cleaning his gun, wondering if it would soon be time to use it, looked at Finden Eye, who had come to report.
Finden Ai also responded by scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.
“Yes. There was nothing? It’s really just an ordinary carrier. On the contrary, it has a good reputation.”
“Rice, it’s a variable?”
Deia looks embarrassed. I thought there must be some kind of plot going on, but there is nothing?
Deia wondered if her sharp senses had become somewhat dull.
“Is it Wellingson Company? There could be something there. Normally, big guys are lazy.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“But this guy named Goben is neat. He has a criminal record, but the owner gave it to him when he was dealing with the North Weden gang. After that he just worked hard.”
“Wow, that’s a real variable.”
“That’s right. Interesting. “Usually those guys don’t drain well.”
Findeneye biting a piece of tobacco in its mouth. Deia frowns, but pretends not to see and lights the fire.
“Ah, Mr.”
I feel uncomfortable already, but it’s annoying. I wanted to assemble a gun right now and shoot myself in the head.
“Hey.”
In the meantime, Deia had a strange idea.
“Whoa, why?”
The desire to question the way her maid spoke to her master’s sister had long since disappeared.
Deia asked, putting down the grooming tools he was using.
“Deius didn’t give you any special instructions, right? “Something like background investigation.”
“Hmm? “The owner didn’t order that?”
“… ….”
Why? The question naturally spreads through my head. If Iluania and Sebia were involved, he would be a man who would react more sensitively than anyone else.
Why wasn’t it seen as action?
‘Did you really know that I would move?’
Then I feel a little dirty because I feel like I’m playing in the palm of my hand.
“Ha, well, I guess that’s because he knows something. Anyway, if you explain it to me, it will be of no use.”
“The owner is like that.”
Finden Eye exhaling tobacco smoke. She also seemed to have become emotional in her own way.
“Does Iluania want to continue working here?”
“Well. “Her husband has a lucrative job, so wouldn’t it be better for her to quit and focus on raising her children?”
“I guess so?”
Finden Ai agrees with Deia’s opinion and puts her tobacco in her mouth again.
Personal regret is exhaled along with the smoke from the beginning of the year.
