Returned Lord Wants To Rest - Returned Lord Wants To Rest chapter 93
Episode 93.
[The First Trial of Sanctuary, Justice.]
The letter contained only one sentence.
“I have to tell you how the ordeal is going.”
It was an unkind ordeal.
First of all, judging from the fact that it says that justice is about trials…
“It must be a definition of something.”
However, in the current situation, it was impossible to even guess how the ordeal would proceed.
“Eww, I need to go to sleep first.”
It’s been a long time since I swung the sword, so I was tired.
It felt like if I lay down now, I could fall asleep right away.
***
Dave Caldert received a call from his father and went to the head of the house.
“Why is my father calling me all of a sudden?”
Dave considered several possibilities.
First of all, it was a judgment that it was not called because there was something wrong.
“Because I did the task perfectly.”
Dave knocked in front of the housekeeper’s office.
“Come in.”
Dave opened the door to the office and entered.
There, the owner of the Caldert family, Medion Caldert, was waiting for Dave.
“Why did you call me out like this?”
“Being a father, you can call your children separately.”
Dave said with a light smile.
“However, the only time my father calls me out like this is for business matters.”
Medion started laughing.
“Also, my son. Guessing is like a ghost. Yes, in a way, it was called for business.”
“So what are you doing?”
It was Medion who stopped talking for a moment and was lost in thought.
Soon, Medion’s mouth opened.
“When do you think Suhar will return?”
“Suharyo…?”
Dave thought.
You said you were going on a trip
“Isn’t it three or five years at the most?”
“Hmm… long.”
Dave wondered if the reason he had been called was because of Suhar.
However, since Suhar was involved, it was difficult to see it as a daily business.
“But suddenly why…”
“Now I’m thinking about retiring too.”
“yes···?”
Dave couldn’t believe the words that came out of Medion’s mouth.
There was no reason to retire because it was a very healthy-looking Medion on the outside.
Dave was concerned about Medion’s health.
“Have you ever been ill?”
“No, the body is very strong.”
“Then why are you talking about retirement?”
There was no reason for retirement unless there was a health problem.
Dave thought it was too early for Medion to retire because he knew he was lacking a lot.
“Do you know Keron Sarkid?”
Dave nodded.
In the Kingdom of Roto, there is probably no aristocrat who does not know the kingdom of Roto’s sword.
“He also handed down his title to his son around this time.”
“yes?”
“It means that it is time for me to hand over the title.”
“I think it is too soon.”
Dave thought he was not good enough to lead the Caldert family.
“There are many things you can learn by handing them down at an early age.”
“yes···.”
Dave still didn’t like Medion’s choice.
“Of course, I’m not saying I’m going to hand over the head of the household right now.”
“What does that mean…?”
“We plan to hold a succession ceremony after Suhar returns from a trip.”
Dave finally realized.
That’s why Medion brought up the story of Suhar.
“Five years at the most. If Suhar does not return within five years, the succession ceremony will proceed without Suhar.”
Originally, at the place of the succession ceremony, all bloodlines of the family had to attend.
it was a ritual
“If Suhar returns tomorrow, what will happen to the succession ceremony?”
“Hmm… that’s simple. The succession ceremony will be held tomorrow.”
For Dave to succeed, Suhar had to come back quickly.
But Dave thought it was too early.
That’s why Dave wanted Suhar to come late.
“Then, can I just go?”
Dave confirmed Medion nodding, and came out of the office.
“This is not the time.”
Dave decided to write a letter in haste.
It was to tell Suhar to come back as late as possible.
And suddenly I realized
“Where should I send it?”
It was Suhar who said he traveled all over the continent.
It sounded like there was no fixed place to live.
“It’s a big deal. Does that mean we have no choice but to pray?”
Dave began to pray with his hands folded.
‘My little brother… please come back after completing the 5 years.’
Dave still didn’t want to take on the responsibility of being the head of household.
***
“Kyaah, please save.”
The sound of a woman waking up.
I heard the scream and hurried out of the house.
And I noticed something strange.
‘Is there any reason to hear screams like this in the Sanctuary?’
I immediately realized that this was an ordeal.
When I left the house, a woman covered in scars hugged me.
“Knight, please save me.”
“Calm down for a moment.”
I realized it was an ordeal, but it was so realistic.
The feeling of the woman being embraced was vivid.
It was like reality.
“What the hell is going on?”
I looked around.
The landscape had changed to a lush forest.
The entity that caused this woman to scream was nowhere to be seen.
‘for a moment···!’
I’ve been through this situation before.
I hurriedly pulled the woman away and opened up the distance.
“Tell me what the situation is.”
First of all, I was wary of women.
I remembered falling into a similar trap in the past.
A cold voice came out of the woman’s mouth.
“Why are you suddenly increasing your distance?”
“First, tell me what the situation is.”
“Why are you suddenly increasing your distance?”
“No, I mean…”
“Why are you suddenly increasing your distance?”
The woman’s words are getting faster.
I realized something was wrong.
“What is your true identity?”
One thing is certain, the woman was not in any danger.
A woman who repeats the same words gradually, faster and with a mumbling voice.
The woman’s appearance gradually changed.
“Asmodian!”
The representative race of demons is the devil, but there are several races.
And the race of the woman whose appearance was changing before my eyes was definitely a race I knew.
‘The original form is wrapped in feathers, and those feathers can be mimicked…’
There was such a race among the demons.
“Doppelganger!”
A woman transformed into the appearance of a bipedal bird.
It was certain that the enemy was more than a demon.
“Kyaaah!”
A doppelgänger running towards me with a woman’s scream.
I immediately cut off the doppelganger with the exorcism sword.
The doppelganger, which had been cut in two, slowly disappeared.
“Is this an ordeal?”
The landscape around us began to change again.
And letters floated in the air.
[Justice is not deceived.]
I thought the first ordeal was over.
However, I soon realized that I was wrong.
“What is this again…?”
The scenery changed and we saw a group bullying an individual.
A group dressed in red was harassing an individual dressed in blue.
An individual in blue came up to me and knelt down.
“Lord, please listen to me!”
Lord?
Could it be that I am the lord in this situation?
“Tell me what happened.”
The person in the blue suit was stopped, and the person in the red suit spoke up.
“Lord, this man is a sinner.”
sinner?
the one wearing blue?
“What crime did Lee commit to be a sinner?”
Then the man in the blue suit hurriedly opened his mouth.
“Young lord, that’s right. I am a sinner.”
“What crime did you commit?”
“It was hard to just watch my family starving, so I touched other people’s things.”
hmm.
It can be said to be a sad story, but he was still a sinner who committed a sin.
“But what do you want to hear?”
“I was kicked out of this place for stealing once.”
I thought it was a bit of an overkill.
You didn’t kill anyone, but you were kicked out of town.
The man in red said urgently, perhaps noticing that his heart was moving toward the man in blue.
“My lord, it is the rule of this town that if you steal in this town, you will be kicked out.”
“The rules of this town? Hey, did you know about this?”
“…”
A man in blue clothes who doesn’t say anything.
I guess you knew
I didn’t have to listen to any more.
In the end, the man in the blue suit committed a crime, but he was only rebelling against the prescribed punishment.
“Then, I can’t help it.”
“But, lord! what about my family Living a wandering life in a time of war like now. I also have small children. Can a young child survive a nomadic life!”
The man in the blue suit began to cry endlessly.
I couldn’t understand the situation.
“What do you mean by that?”
“yes?”
“You are the one who committed the crime, why are you bringing your family in?”
“What is that…?”
“You are leaving, alone.”
At my words, not only the man in the blue suit, but also the people in the red suit were surprised.
“Did I say something strange? Could it be that the entire family of a criminal who touches other people’s things has to leave the village?”
The man in red shook his head.
“It is not.”
“That means only you have to go out, so why are you bringing up the story of a young child?”
The man in the blue suit, who had been blank for a moment, opened his mouth.
It sounded like a bit of anger.
“Are you saying it’s okay for that child to grow up without a father?”
“I guess it’s better than growing up with a father who sinned. As you said, wouldn’t it be better for you to lead a nomadic life than for the whole family to lead a nomadic life during times of war?”
My words were close to the truth.
The man in the blue suit wouldn’t have anything to refute.
“Of course, I can’t stop you if your family leaves with you.”
“yes···?”
“Look, if the author’s family is there, come out.”
Then, two people came out of the red-clad group.
It was a young woman and a child.
But there was one strange thing.
The young woman had a rare bruise on her face.
“Would you like to leave this village with your father?”
After a moment of hesitation, the young woman shook her head.
“You say you won’t leave.”
“…”
“What are you doing? Aren’t you leaving?”
“This can’t be!”
The man in blue was persistent.
“What on earth could this not be? Your wife says she doesn’t want to leave with you.”
“…how can you tear your family apart.”
“Hmm…”
I saw a young woman for a while.
looking terrified.
However, it seemed that the target was not me.
And a rare bruise.
“I guess you weren’t such a good husband and father.”
Looking at his wife’s behavior, he could confirm it.
Lee is a violent person.
The violence was also directed at the family.
It must be a lie that he stole for his family.
“I don’t want to hear any more, go away.”
At my assertive words, the man in blue was frustrated.
And a faint smile appeared on the young woman’s lips.
At the same time, the landscape in front of my eyes changed to the first paradise I had ever seen.
Letters floated in the air.
[Definition of principledism that is not inclined to personal feelings]
And as the letters were crushed, new letters came to mind.
[Pass the first trial]
