That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

Irreversible-3

“How much do you know about artifacts?”

“All I know is that there is. This was just speculation…but not anymore.”

Keitel nodded as he put me back in his seat.

It is nonsense to know the details of the artifact.

I only knew about moon stones, but I didn’t know what kind of ability each artifact had.

The question that suddenly came to my mind was whether the moon stone was still there.

It should disappear since I used it, but since I didn’t use the moonstone at this time.

Is it gone, or is it still there? While thinking about it, Keitel opened his mouth.

“There is a book written that the power of the artifact is enough to take a city. I think I must bring it to achieve my purpose. How do you see yourself?”

“I think it’s better to take it if you can have it. It’s just a matter of being able to bring it. If it’s an artifact related to the moon, wouldn’t the church pay attention?”

“…If it’s an artifact related to the moon, that’s probably the case.”

The prince smiled lightly, then looked around and fixed his gaze on me.

Then, cheerfully, as if spitting out a fairly light subject, he opened his mouth.

“However, the relics of the Empire are not related to the moon. Rather, it might be the other way around.”

“I’m not sure what that means.”

“Think a little deeper. If it was a relic related to the moon, why didn’t the church find it? Even in the process of being eaten by the South, they were trying to protect the temple somehow, so why didn’t they take any action?”

There was no truth in his words.

If it’s related to the moon, it’s a church that can’t use quadrupeds,

Even more so, seeing that the saintess still shows no interest in the relic, there must be something there.

After thinking about it for a while, I swallowed in vain at the words that flashed through my mind.

…no way.

“If it’s something related to the dragons… you won’t want to find it.”

“right. That’s what an imperial relic is. Since it was related to the dragon, no matter how powerful it was, I didn’t use it.”

The idea that the artifact is related to the dragon has never occurred to me before, so

I just listened blankly to Keitel’s words.

If not, is the moon stone I used also a relic of the dragon?

If they had returned with the power of the dragons, why the hell did the dragons create such artifacts?

Before my question could be answered, Keitel pointed to a part of the map and started talking again.

“I plan to use the evil dragon’s thoughts. Control it, and if you control it, you can use it to your advantage. It’s still in the experimental stage, but if you bring one artifact, I think it can be used in earnest.”

“If I bring the artifact, what will happen after that?”

“What happened? It will be what I call it.”

After a pause, Keitel added with a small smile.

“Sir Taylor, can I call you like this then?”

#

It was a little uncomfortable that the artifact was related to the dragon, but it didn’t seem like there was a need to think deeply about it.

If the return of the moon stone was related to the four dragons, wouldn’t it have been affected right away?

Aside from that, if you think of the immediate harvest, you have a point of contact with the crown prince.

It was nothing more than a knee-bending humiliation.

Right now, it would be good for Taylor’s prince to bow down to the crown prince.

However, if the circumstances change, there will be no reason for me to bow my head in front of Keitel.

I was about to leave after finishing my errands, when I noticed In-yeong standing in the hallway.

It was the same clothes as before, so it was immediately recognizable.

As I lowered my head slightly, Mirazen smiled brightly and approached me.

“Looks like we’re done talking. I’m just passing by, but I didn’t expect to run into you like this, did you?”

“Is it a coincidence?”

“It’s a coincidence. You didn’t think I was going to wait here until the conversation was over.”

I think it might be enough with Miragen, but I shrugged my shoulders and walked forward.

Perhaps because the conversation with the prince had been quite long, the sky had completely darkened before I knew it.

Although the streets were still bright with lanterns, there might not be time to do anything.

Mirazen must have known that too, so she didn’t repeat what she said earlier.

She would do anything she thought would benefit her, but she probably didn’t want to hear rumors that she hung out with men late at night.

So I walked for a while. Mirajenna and I had nothing to say, so there was silence.

Then, as if this silence had grown boring, Mirazen’s elbow tapped my side.

“Why are you not saying anything? It makes people feel ashamed for nothing, did something happen to them earlier?”

“Not like that. But what should I say to Her Highness, the princess? The difference in social status is clear enough to chat about something.”

“Ooh, do I look like someone who cares about that?”

“…not really.”

He’ll probably chat with commoners if he’s right.

Since that was the reason she and Adrian became close in the first place, Mirazen was the type to hate such formality.

Still, it was better to draw the line. There were quite a few things that raised question marks about Miragen in many ways.

“It’s okay to call me by my first name. There are no people right now, so come on. Why don’t you call me Miragen?”

“I’ll just call her Her Highness the Princess. Isn’t this the second time we’ve met in the first place?”

“He said he was friends with Adrian. I’m not that harsh with friends of friends.”

How can a person never change?

Of course, it’s Miragen at a point in time that can’t change, but when I see her talking to her in a friendly way, as if it were so obvious, I felt strange for no reason.

The last meeting at the Wall Tower was the first time, and this is the second time.

It wouldn’t be strange if he hesitated because of the awkwardness, but he kept a little distance away from Mirazen, who kept coming to the side.

I’d rather be with Adrian or Adele.

Since he couldn’t be easily knocked out if he approached him openly like this, he sighed and opened his mouth.

“I guess I should go. It’s getting late, so go in first.”

“…isn’t it the main gate yet?”

“Isn’t there nothing good about setting a precedent for the princess to meet you at the front gate? It doesn’t matter to me, but I don’t know if someone will catch the pod saying I don’t have a body.”

Mirazen, who had been staring at me for a moment, nodded slightly, probably listening to my words again with concern.

However, he couldn’t hide it and the corners of his mouth twitched, so he smiled bitterly at the embarrassment of seeing it.

I know she cares about me.

However, it was not a crush between a man and a woman, so there was no need to think too deeply.

After walking for a long time like that, Mirazen stopped walking, as if he thought he should stop following.

Then, he tapped his chest, took out the artifact he had given me last time, and added.

“I still have it. I might ask you something next time. Adrian might call and contact you instead, so don’t ignore it.”

“Why would I ignore the call? If you contact me when you need it, I will receive it at any time. However… I would like you to refrain from saying things that are too embarrassing.”

“Hey, what are you saying?”

“If you mention the word Jungin again, I will be in trouble. Even the saintess could misunderstand.”

Then Mirazen waved her hand, saying not to worry, and then quietly greeted her, telling her to go soon.

As I turned around with a smile on my face, I saw the princess walking away as if she really didn’t want to follow me.

then i should go now There was a lot of work to be done even after returning to the duke’s residence.

It was time to start working on the servants’ houses.

When this job was over, I thought it would be a good idea to get ready to go north.

Go north, then south again.

If I go all the way to the south, my forces will be completed for the first time, and only then will the preparations for dropping Yuria down be completed.

So, after walking for a while, I raise my head to the sound of a carriage coming from afar.

The pattern of the wagon I got off near was really familiar.

When he saw Taylor’s family name, he stared blankly for a moment, then laughed when he saw the woman getting off the carriage.

The reason why our Sogaju had come this far was because it was so obvious.

“…Robert, I’m sure he didn’t behave rudely.”

“I didn’t expect you to see me off like this. Are you even worried?”

When I made a sarcastic remark, Yuria frowned in displeasure.

Looking at the crumpled forehead, it seemed that the purpose of coming here was clearly visible.

He probably came after hearing that I was heading to the imperial palace.

He could make a connection without knowing it, so it must be part of the check.

“I was worried that I would do something pathetic again. Do you know that there are things you can’t whine about like a child, just like you did before?”

“I’m not whining. The metaphor is funny.”

“I wonder if the princess would have listened to me if I had done the same to my mother. I hope it didn’t happen You were young back then, but now you are a grown adult.”

Coming out with this attitude after going through the last incident was obviously just to provoke me.

Her expression hardened for a moment, but YuRia continued talking with a rather sneering look on her face.

“I don’t know why you came to the imperial palace today, but no matter how hard you work, nothing will change. Even the imperial family would not be able to intervene in earnest in the succession of the Taylor family.”

“Then why did you come? What if you didn’t come to check me, who is so insignificant?”

“I came to see Her Highness, the princess. I think you must have misunderstood the subjugation last time, so I came to apologize for the folly you committed.”

“…do you think it’s a fluke?”

There’s a level of stupidity. My eyebrows wrinkled as I watched as I was caught up in the thought that what I had done was wrong.

It was a question of where to start correcting things and whether they would listen to me in the first place.

I would have to show some evidence and put pressure on him, but in the current situation, I have nothing to show.

As she pondered over this, the ‘evidence’ to show her appeared in an unexpected form.

“I feel that the tone is quite sharp, but is it true that they are brother and sister?”

When I turned my head at the sudden voice, Mirazen was walking towards me.

I don’t know how I heard this conversation.

Even if I ask, they’ll probably say they heard it by chance, just passing by. However, with Miragen appearing here, the advantage could be said to have declined.

When I saw Mirajane’s expressionless face as she passed me, I couldn’t help but smile inwardly.

Mirazen when she made that expression was always when she was quite angry.

“I don’t know if it would be okay if I call Taylor’s Sogaju, Yuria-dong.”

“…I don’t know what’s going on, but when it comes to work, I’ll-“

“I am not here to talk about it. By the way, do you have anything to do with Prince Robert?”

“We were talking about family. It’ll be over soon, so if you’re waiting inside, I’ll be right there.”

It must have been nothing more than a speech interruption, but Yuria bowed her head and replied without any hint of that.

I was just amazed when I saw it in this way. Unfortunately, her wish was unlikely to come true.

Poof, Mirajen, who grabbed my arm, narrowed her eyes and stared at Yuria.

If you’ve listened to the entire conversation, you’ve probably realized that it’s pretty offensive to me.

What Mirazen, who was kind to me, would say was very obvious.

“Unfortunately, I won’t have anything to talk to you about today.”

“…Yes?”

YuRia looked at Mirajen as if embarrassed at the rather solemn and serious tone.

Contrary to her playful tone when she was out, the well-known voice of the princess filled the silence around her.

Yuria barely answered, but Mirazen pulled my arm close to my body and continued.

With such dangerous words that anyone can easily misunderstand.

“I’m thinking of borrowing Prince Robert. maybe…”

When the rolling eyes soon stopped, I burst into laughter at the words she spoke.

“All day long.”

I don’t know how she will come to terms with this. I probably spit it out as much as I could remember.

However, Mirazen’s mood seemed pretty good for the fact that he had been hit, so I couldn’t say anything about him.

Of course, Yuria’s expression as she stared blankly at Mirazen was quite refreshing.
