Chapter 126
“Gasp!”
In a premonition that was so intense that he forgot to even breathe, Kylus covered his head and sat down on the floor before he began to write down what came to him on a nearby piece of paper.
Then, he murmured.
“You can’t deny the order of things. People who should have died can’t stop the huge flow.”
He smirked as he recalled the lady of the Leon family that had been intensely imprinted in his mind. He couldn’t help but remember her bloody hands and her screaming face.
“Her face is so familiar.”
Even though he couldn’t remember exactly, he felt nostalgic. Still, the flashback did not last long.
Knock, knock.
“Baron, a collateral family has arrived. He said he had to talk to the Baron today…”
The old butler’s words flowed from the other side of the door. The collateral family, who came at this point when he was busy, was rather bothersome.
“Tell them to wait.”
“Yes, Baron.”
As he roughly wiped off his sweat before heading to the dressing room, Kylus smiled contentedly as he admired himself in the full-length mirror.
“See. After training like this, I’ve become more manly than before.”
He smirked as he heard Noah, who couldn’t come out without his permission, screaming. Pulling out and putting on a stiff suit, not the material that Noah usually wears, he stared at himself in the full-length mirror. It was a look he really liked.
Lucian lightly lifted Rachel, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Setting her down on the bed, he stared at her intently, not wanting to separate from her. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes for a moment, she would disappear again, so he held onto her tightly and immediately got up and headed to the bathroom.
The next moment, he took a wet towel and carefully wiped her body.
After bringing another towel and tidying her up, he brought her a nightgown and put it on. Watching her sleeping without making a sound of breathing, he caressed her cheeks with regret.
As he watched the skin press under his fingers, he heard a knock. He glanced at Rachel for a while longer, even when he heard an urgent and harsh sound rather than the usual polite knock from Amber.
It was because he had already noticed the other person approaching without even asking who it was.
Soon, there was a louder knocking sound.
When Rachel’s eyebrows furrowed from the sound, he swallowed an annoyed sigh and was forced to stand up.
As he strode forward and opened the door, he pushed the other person out.
“You!”
It’d been a long time since he had seen his father, but he didn’t feel anything much. Lucian wondered if the memories of him wanting to die as a child if he wasn’t recognized by his father were true.
“Be quiet. Are you going to wake up the child who just fell asleep?”
Pedro came running as soon as he arrived at the mansion. He couldn’t believe what he had heard, so he rode desperately to prevent another disaster.
Still, he couldn’t believe Lucia was saying such carefree things…!
“What the hell did you do?!”
Even though he tried to grab him by the collar in an unbearable rage, Lucian was not easily caught, and he shook off his father’s hand with a very light gesture and frowned as if he was seeing something disgusting.
“Haa…”
Pedro sighed deeply at the sight, but he tried to calm himself down. He had no time to be doing this.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
“If it’s not urgent, I’ll listen later.”
Lucian’s cold attitude made his stomach twitch, but he couldn’t ruin everything he had been protecting.
“Have you annulled Ray?”
“….”
Hearing his question, Lucian’s gaze, which had been fixed on the door, turned toward it. On the other hand, seeing him raise his eyebrows as if asking what it had to do with it, Pedro could tell without hearing the answer.
“Stupid bastard!”
Lucian’s eyes widened very slightly at Pedro’s swearing, who usually tried not to deviate from his noble appearance.
“Why did you do as you please?! Huh? Now, why… no, rather than what you did wrong, this d*mn Imperial Family!”
As he muttered something he couldn’t understand, Pedro grabbed his hair and suddenly raised his head.
Lucian sensed something strange.
What could make his father act like this? If it was the father Lucian had always seen, there was only one reason.
“What are you talking about?”
To Lucian, who gritted his teeth and asked, his father spoke quickly with a somewhat depressed or angry expression.
“Hide Ray right now. That d*mn Emperor broke his promise to me. The name of the traitor’s family has risen, and the order must have already been given.”
At those words, he stared at Pedro as if he had been hit in the head. It was a totally unexpected development.
…Why?
Perhaps reading his thoughts, Pedro continued.
“I’m sorry for not telling you beforehand. Though this wasn’t the Duke’s duty but it was a personal pact between me and the Emperor! The one who broke that was the Emperor…!”
“…Traitor.”
“Since the current Count plotted treason, they are the traitor family.”
“Where is the evidence?”
“Remember when Rachel was kidnapped? At that time, the Count attacked me and he tried to kill me.”
“It’s not treason, though.”
“Yes, that is correct. It’s not treason because he tried to kill me. However, it would be different if he found the current emperor’s nephew and even killed the emperor’s illegitimate children. Of course, it wasn’t long before I knew this.”
At the time, Pedro had done nothing to find Count Erland. He wanted to somehow find and kill Rachel’s kidnappers to ensure her safety.
Then, he found something suspicious.
Those who were related to the Count were those who had no justification to being related to him. Seeing how the people were cleverly intertwined from one end to the other of the empire he never knew about, he began digging around about Count Erland from then on.
Nevertheless, it was difficult to find Count Erland. He informed the emperor of this fact on the way, and he made efforts for the emperor and the empire about the possessed.
…Still, this fox-like Emperor dared to easily break his promise… no, he said he didn’t break his promise.
Lucian was the one who came to annul Ray himself, so the Emperor said nonsense that he had only accepted the request. The story his father was telling did not touch him at once, but Lucian realized it slowly, like getting wet in light rain.
The fact that Rachel’s current surname was Erland. He also recalled the guests, whom he had completely forgotten about…
“Currently, Countess Erland and the son are staying as guests in the Duchy.”
“What?”
“It seems that they came looking for Ray, so I let them stay.”
“Yes, that was good, but… things got complicated.”
For the first time in his life, while he felt a strange feeling at the compliment, Lucian quickly shook it off. The only thing that mattered to him right now was none other than Rachel.
“Father evacuates the guests. I will hide Rachel.”
“….”
Pedro could feel his son’s energy squirming unsteadily. He was already a grown son, but why did he look so anxious like a child?
All of a sudden, a trumpet sounded in the distance. It was the sound of the trumpet when the messenger delivering the Emperor’s edict came.
Pedro and Lucian immediately ran in different directions as Lucian hastily hugged Rachel and looked for a place to hide her. He couldn’t decide easily because it seemed like they might be caught somewhere.
The thought that he could lose her was terrifying.
His heart, which had been beating unsteadily, tightened as if it was about to be crushed. Clearly, just a moment ago, he was the happiest person in the world. Not only did he get all of her heart that he so longed for, but he also coveted her body…
It seemed that something hidden in his stomach was about to uncoil and move.
As unpleasant heat began to spread through his body, at that moment, Enzo stepped in. As if he had waited, he asked subtly.
— Descendant, should I hide her?
“….”
He had been wary of Enzo’s existence for a very long time, so he never asked him for anything unless it involved Rachel.
But while he was wary of him, he couldn’t help reaching his hand this time.
― Making a barrier with magic is nothing. Anyway, the subspace you enjoy using is also a part of it…
The muddy voice was like sugar water. It was not delicious because it was sweet, but it was so sweet that it made him feel bad.
― There’s no such thing as being too vigilant. First of all, I will show mercy for my descendant.
The moment Enzo’s voice disappeared, Lucian’s golden eyes turned completely black before he felt his magic move regardless of his will.
Enzo started pouring all of her items into the subspace as if to erase all traces of her. When all of her items were finally gone, the room that had been filled with traces of Rachel until just now became a desolate place with only the chilly air.
It was here that he first had tea with Rachel. It was also here that he came and talked for the first time… From the little Rachel moving with a smile to the scene where she greeted him as an adult with her bright smile, it felt empty because everything had disappeared.
There were thread veins in his low, golden eyes. Just the fact that someone who wanted to take her away was approaching made him angry.
— Then, descendant. Let’s go.
After Enzo happily whispered, Lucian and Rachel’s figure disappeared from there.
