Chapter 104 [part 2] (2/2)

Fabian was overwhelmed with anger again and after fuming, he continued to speak.

“Why did you kill the Countess in a place with so many witnesses? You could have easily escaped by yourself. Because of that, you put yourself between a rock and a hard place, and you’ve become a criminal caught in the act.”

“That’s why I am saying…”

“What?”

“Show me evidence I killed her then I’ll believe I did. It has to look like I acted crazy by myself so that there’s no connection to the Madam and the lord, no?”[2]

The guy is a lunatic, but he’s a bright lunatic, Fabian thought.

“There’s no one with an intact sanity serving under my lord.”

Fabian spat out, lamentingly.

“I thought I had to kill the woman before she opened her mouth. But wow. It’s really amazing. That woman’s face changed as soon as she died. How did that happen?”

Fabian groaned loudly then replied.

“A magical tool. A property of the Duke of Ramis House. Although now they claim that it was stolen from their ducal residence.”

There were a lot of suspicious points about the late Countess of Falcon, so the royal family left Roy alone and concentrated on the Countess first.

She used a magical tool claimed to have been lost from the Duke of Ramis House, pretended to be a handmaid, used Katherine’s breakroom unauthorized, and poisonous substances were discovered in the ring on her hand.

They couldn’t get a confession since she was already dead, but they were unhesitatingly tearing through the Countess of Falcon’s mansion and businesses.

“Do you know what your biggest sin is right now?” (Fabian)

“I killed someone.”

“Right. I don’t know about the others, but the problem of killing the Duke’s heir is huge. Well, that’s that. But why did you use your weapon when you killed the Countess? You secretly brought your weapon into the palace without getting permission. They can charge you with attempted assassination of the king.”

Roy scratched his chin and said.

“…Just habitually…”[3]

“…Just die.”

END OF BOOK 6.

Translator’s Corner:

[1] Because this is a flash back, the author doesn’t use “ ”, instead uses ‘ ’. But I didn’t want confusion with thoughts, so I used “”. If you would prefer for me to italicize the conversation to show some difference, tell me.

[2] This might be confusing but the raw is exactly this. ‘Show me evidence I killed her and i’ll believe’. I think he’s being snarky because I mean, technically he didn’t kill her. He killed a handmaid.

[3] I would have translated this as ‘I just habitually…’ but the author used 그냥 to start both sentences. I think it shows Fabian’s annoyance in picking the same word, so I wanted to keep that.

Note: Fabian curses…A TON in this chapter.
