The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

277 – Scene 277# Death Sentence

*

“The more I look at you, the more healthy your body looks. Have you been exercising again?”

“Oh, yeah. What…”

“As expected, the Margrave Army that protects the northern part of this country. Ahaha.”

Milliam’s father… So, Aidan Ruelberta, who was Tristan’s biological grandfather, smiled broadly. He was a man so friendly that you wondered if he was from the infamous Ruelberta family. As he spoke to Kyle with a sad smile, he seemed far from the image of a villain.

Aidan suddenly lowered his head towards Kyle.

“Thank you for taking care of my sick son. Sir Kyle. “I, Count Ruelberta, express my gratitude to you as the representative of the family.”

“No. “I didn’t have anything to take care of.”

What I learned through their conversation was that Milliam was born with a bad health.

It appears that he was staying at Northern Garden for long-term treatment due to a lot of minor illnesses.

Milliam, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, was definitely thinner than Aidan or Kyle. It was because he was tall that he looked thin, but even taking that into account, he was too thin and his complexion was not good.

“… “I must have stayed for about three years.”

Facing the afterimage of the past, Ariel stood silently and muttered.

“When I first came, Milliam was in very bad condition. There were times when he would pass out while taking a walk and he would be bedridden most of the time. I thought he was really going to die like this… At that time, it was Kyle who reached out his hand.”

Ariel looked at Kyle, a tall young man sitting on the sofa. There was a faint longing in her eyes.

“Kyle took care of Milliam, a stranger, whenever he had time. He takes a walk in the garden with you, or takes you on a horseback tour of the village… Then, Milliam’s condition improved noticeably. He later recovered enough to learn simple swordsmanship from Kyle.”

“… Why?”

“Yes?”

“There would be no reason for Kyle to help Milliam.”

It was a question that suddenly occurred to me.

Even during this era, the notoriety of the Ruelberta family would still have remained. However, even though Kyle knew this, she was nice to Milliem, so I thought she had some weakness.

However, Ariel cut off my suspicions with her single sword.

“I guess it’s because I saw my old self in Milliam.”

“What it used to be like?”

“Yes. Kyle also said she used to be very weak. It is said that during her childhood, she desperately practiced her swordsmanship in an attempt to become healthy, thereby changing her sickly constitution. So she couldn’t have left Millium in the same situation.”

“…”

In other words… Did she feel a sense of sympathy?

I looked closely at Kyle and Milliam. If you look closely, they are two people who do not get along. Kyle, who looks healthy and healthy, and Milliam, who is as skinny as a skeleton.

The two people I saw in the previous room were as close as real brothers.

“From Milliam’s perspective, Kyle is like a benefactor and savior.”

“… Okay. At least that’s how it looks to me.”

“But… Honestly, I was like that. “Kyle cared about Millie like her own sister, but I found him gloomy and moody.”

Ariel glared at Milliam with disapproval. In my mind, I feel like I’m going to separate Kyle and Milliam at any moment. It is natural that she is not looked upon favorably.

“What are you talking about? It’s all thanks to Sir Kyle that our Milliam has improved so much. “If it weren’t for the Lord’s active help, our family might have been cut off.”

“… That’s too much praise. Sir Aidan. But I’m curious as to why you came here today.”

“Of course I came to pick up my son.”

“Father… ? I still want to be here.”

Milliam looked up in shock. Aidan spoke with a kind face to his anxious son.

“Didn’t you promise that you knew how you felt? “I’ll come back when I’m ready.”

“You mean the surgery you mentioned earlier… ? ?”

“Okay. “I am finally able to heal your body.”

Clearly, the Ruelberta family is so powerful that they can even influence university hospitals with enormous funds. Aidan must have been using her hands to heal Millium’s sick body from the beginning.

“Don’t worry. “If I just go back and get the surgery, I’ll be healthy.”

“… All right. If your father says so, then the surgery… I will accept it.”

“Well thought out.”

“Lord Aidan. So Milliam is leaving here?”

“That’s how it happened. You’ve been really helpful during this time. I don’t know if I’ll come back someday… True.”

Aidan looked back at Kyle as if he had suddenly remembered something.

“Now that I think about it, I heard that the Lord’s wife was in poor health.”

“Ah… Rumors spread quickly. Ariel is taking a break because she is not feeling well after giving birth to her first child.”

“Well… The poor treatment facilities here can’t handle it. If the condition is okay, how about having him receive treatment at a hospital in the island?”

“Yes?”

“I’ll give you access to the best hospital in the system. Milliam is about to have surgery there, so what is it like?”

“That is…” . It was so sudden…”

“Don’t feel burdened. This is my small sincerity to the Lord for taking care of his only son. Oh yeah. Why not stop by the Kyle Longitude Islands on your own? Since the Lord is a benefactor, I really want to invite him to the mansion…”

“No… I am…”

Aidan encouraged Kyle with a friendly attitude. If you look at it this way, he seems like a really nice guy. How on earth did horse breeds like Milliam and Tristan come from a man like this? .

While he was thinking that, Millium, who had kept his mouth shut, intervened.

“That… “Father.”

“Hmm?”

“Why, brother… No. Do you need to go all the way to Sir Kyle? From Sir Kyle’s perspective, it is difficult to vacate this place…”

Huh?

It was a very brief moment, but I felt strange. I don’t know if it’s my mood, but there’s something about Aidan’s expression… Because I felt an unfamiliar ’emotion’.

Moreover, the message window was shaking.

[I respond to trials]

[Your sensitivity is 10%.]

Before I even realized what it was, Kyle had an answer.

“I understand.”

“Sir Kyle?”

“You could say that it would be rude to refuse Sir Aidan’s invitation like this. Besides, I feel uncomfortable sending my sick wife alone.”

“Then…”

“Yes. “I will go to the system myself.”

“Oh oh… Good idea. Really well thought out. Haha.”

There was no trace of the’emotion’I had felt earlier on Aidan’s cheerfully smiling face. What on earth was that?

“I really don’t know how to thank Sir Aidan for going out of his way to help me.”

“No…”

Aidan shook her head and responded with a kind smile to Kyle’s words to her.

“I should actually be the one giving thanks.”

“I’m so sick of it. “Jim doesn’t want to know about that crazy guy’s past.”

Luna, who seemed to be getting increasingly annoyed, pouted her mouth and grumbled.

We’ve had glimpses into Milliam’s past her through several doors since then. Milliam, who appears in the past, was a man who could be found anywhere, except that he liked reading and was introverted.

To be honest, like Luna, I thought Milliam was crazy for a long time… Should I say he is somewhat normal and therefore awkward?

‘Your father, Milliam, was a bright student.’

Myohail, who had been watching Millium with us, spoke to me in a friendly voice. Come to think of it, I heard that there was a time when Milliam, like Mondry, was Myohail’s student. It was probably before the arrival of the North.

Although he didn’t seem to have studied for a long time, he seemed to have been an impressive student.

‘He had great application skills. When I asked why, I found out that he read a lot of books that were difficult for his age. Not only that, even though it was only theory, I felt like I understood everything in those books. If he wasn’t cursed… If only he had magical power, he might have become a famous wizard.’

After listening to Myohail’s words, I realized that the evaluation of Millium is completely different depending on the person.

The more I learned, the more doubts I had about this person called Milliam.

Milliam, whom I saw during the ordeal, was a more ruthless man than anyone else. How did a man like this become such a horrible monster?

Even Milliam’s father, Aidan, seemed to be an extremely normal person, so I couldn’t know anything about Milliam and the Ruelberta family.

“Stop. Millium.”

When I looked back, I saw Kyle blocking Milliam. Milliam was about to hit something by the window with her sword sheath but she stopped.

“I told you this before, right? “Every life has value.”

“Brother. But it’s a bug.”

Just as Milliam said, there was a small spider hanging there.

But Kyle shook his head.

“The value of life is the same for everyone. “This spider is worth life just like us.”

“To anyone?”

“Okay. Everything is the same.”

Kyle pointed to his baby in the bassinet. Ariel immediately turned her head. For her, the afterimage of her past was a nostalgic yet extremely painful memory.

“My baby, that spider, me and you are all the same.”

“Hmm… Then Main Island?”

Kyle was silent for a moment in response to Milliam’s question.

And then she opened her mouth.

“… Okay. Even if they are demons, they are no different from humans.”

According to the general perception of the people of the empire, demons are enemies of humanity and are not considered beings on the same level as humans. Therefore, Kyle’s remarks were controversial

Luna was pretending she didn’t hear, but it seemed like she had already heard. No matter how spoiled the emperor is, he is the husband of Ariel, his confidant, so he probably cannot easily point out that remark.

Ariel, on the other hand, was still silent with her head turned away. Could it be that he didn’t hear what Kyle said? No… Looking closely, it seems she already knew.

The Roelgreen family pioneered the harsh north, drove out monsters, and built a castle for humans. Kyle, the last head of the family, seemed to be a moderate or a pacifist. There was no problem with the belief itself. However, what he said earlier could have sounded like he was taking Mine’s side in some cases.

Plus, the timing was bad. Although it is an afterimage of the past, he made such a statement in front of Luna, the current emperor… Ariel’s position became awkward for her.

An uncomfortable silence followed.

Ariel and Luna pretend not to know.

And I watch it…

Wendy felt something unusual.

As the flashback to the past ended and I came out of the room, Luna broke the silence.

“… That’s it. Now, I’ll let Jim choose.”

“Choice?”

“What can you say? “Jim will choose which door to open next.”

Luna, who seemed to be displeased with the fact that I had taken the lead in opening the door so far, began to walk around and look at the door.

It didn’t really matter to me which door it was, so I left it alone.

Luna, who had been looking from door to door for a while, soon stopped in front of a certain door.

“Hmm. Good night. “Jim likes this door.”

“… “You like it?”

At first glance, it was an old and shabby wooden door. There are a lot of cracks and the doorknob looks tattered, as if it has started to rot. It looked dirty with dust piled up there.

What. Still, I respect people’s tastes. To put it positively, wouldn’t it be nice to have something like this as it’s vintage? It was the first time she knew Luna had such an old-fashioned taste.

“What are you doing?”

“?”

“What are you staring at? Without opening this door.”

Well then…

Luna raised the corners of her mouth and she was giving me orders. She chose the dirtiest door because she wouldn’t open it herself anyway.

However, he was mistaken about two things.

“Do you want to open this door?”

“Okay. Open it quickly.”

One. I am not his servant

“What?! Yes, you dare hold Jim’s hand!?”

“Okay.”

I thoughtlessly grabbed Luna’s wrist.

“What is happening all of a sudden! Let go of this! “Do not touch Jim’s body without his permission!”

“Allow? “You say interesting things.”

Two. I am Tristan, the most arrogant man in this country.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute?!”

When Luna tried to put her hand on the doorknob, she started freaking out.

“What are you doing now?!”

“I’m trying to open the door.”

“What?! Why did you… “Stop talking nonsense and open it with your own hands!”

“Since this is the door you like so much, why not open it yourself?”

“No need for blood! Let go!”

“Are you ignoring my favor now?”

“Yes, yes! “I refuse your favor!”

“I’m sorry, but you can’t refuse my favor.”

“This guy is crazy?!”

I picked up Luna, who was starting to run wild, and tried to open the door with her hand.

When this happened, Luna screamed and rebelled.

“Execution! I will execute you! You! Jim warned! “If you put your hand on that dirty door, I will execute you!”

The emperor’s death sentence.

In fact, it was no different from an ultimatum.

But after all that happened, Luna still doesn’t seem to know much about me.

“Try it. Where.”

“For a moment! Stop! Stop! There! Don’t just watch, stop this crazy guy! Hurry!!! Otherwise, I’m so dirty!!”
