Chapter 62 (2/2)
”That's……!”
I unconsciously raisedof tension filled the roo to protect him? He's the one who killed your wife, and attehter and son, is he not?”
The , the sense of pressure softened somewhat
Even so, his tone was still like one he used while in palace,that he still hadn't re to protect hih your authority as the territory's lord, assassination, or your overwhelht……any s will be fast”
Having had that pointed out, I tre hands
”……at the present ti in thethe hter, as well as assisting in the serial kidnappings in the Capital Like I showed you, we've found proof of his instigation of the murder of the Anderson House's madam and children but……for now since his modus operandi was rather clever, there is only circu incidents”
”That is why it will be difficult to judge hi the country's national law?”
”No, other than for the Capital's serial kidnapping incidents, it's possible to asse the protection of your prestige Once this case co hurt is a matter of course, but even your name as a hero will be affected as well”
”……ha My reputation is h as much as you want But it's true that we can't just continue leaving hiht? Before he causes internal discord within your Marquis' territory, we should settle him quickly And you should care about your reputation a bitlike my rep-……”
”……no matter what, could you not say that it does nothis eyes, Roet it? I've told you before, but your name alone has become a restraint for other countries……the wounds of this country received by the ith Towair still have not healed Do you understand, they haven't healed cos to other countries, but despite that……there are plenty of idiots who haven't comprehended that situation They feel envy at your title of hero, and try to plot against you, watching for an opportunity to take you down! In that sort of situation, if you have internal strife in your territory……there's no way they would perement!”
Ba irritated at my half-heartedness……it seemed that it hurt his heart more at the truth that the wounds that this country received during the war against Towair still hadn't healed
Because in reality, it hen he spoke those words that his brows knit even tighter
”……why are yourealized that, I unintentionally opened my mouth and asked thus
……Ro, and his mouth warped in self-derision
”Isn't it obvious? My role is to protect the country……it is my duty to make it so that the people can live stable lives In other words, I cannot alloar to occur……despite that, I was not able to stop it frooodness, this is what you call an inco that cannot be helped, right? No ”
”Can't be helped? The amount of blood that was shed is not so little that it can be washed away just by saying that it couldn't be helped At that time, I was unable to fulfill et it The sacrifices of that tier allow the sa amount of spirit
Just from that, even if I didn't want to, I see the seriousness of his feelings
Losing to the force of his spirit, I once again hungboth hands to curb the faint tre of my body
”……I wonder why”
After a few ht that I wanted to send all the bastards that were involved in Melilda's death straight to hell without any exceptions That was my purpose in life Naturally, that was also the case for the one you say was pulling the strings from behind”
Every ti of my body became more andso?
Such a question passed through my mind
”I do hate Wiel To the point where I want to kill him! Because he is the prime culprit that stole Melilda away fro at me with an inexplicable expression
Pity was reflected in his eyes
”Do you understand it!? That fear of theaith tih I reh I loved her sothose memories away from me……! Despite that, the memory of her bloodstained self remains even if I hate it……the fact that I was unable to protect her constantly tortures s, the calm part of my mind scoffed at myself
”Despite that……the accumulated memories with Wiel that remain within me, the emotions, those cause me to hesitate……! No matter what he thinks, to me he was an important family member……!”
It is because he was important
……to me, even hat he did, he was still an important family member
Even if I hated his having reached this point, I didn't want to believe in that hatred
However, there's no way that Roh we've had a short relationshi+p, I knomoves
His sense of responsibility caused evenof respect towards it
And on top of that, did he not say earlier hinore this ine hiin with, the fact that our relationshi+p has amassed to the point where I co to h, then laugh Even though I spoke so passionately about taking revenge……when it co such a shameful appearance”
As I rebuked ely calh?”
And he quietly muttered
At those words, I involuntarily twitched as e shake
”I……a decisions in a corner of ment, I choose whichever has a lower risk associated with it……as such, I ive up on and what to take up for that sake While I believe that being able to take everything into hand would be ideal, in reality that is i in a corner ofthat in itself ……even if that is a ht was so very precious, if it is necessary then I will easily cast it away”
When I lifted , lost child……such confusion and bewilderment was reflected in his eyes
By noto condemn
In order to fulfill his duty as Prime Minister, he has probably been st them there were probably li choices
And every time that occurred, he probably made a choice
As he shed tears in his heart, he still put on a cold-heartedaway the st that s have I cast away? Of course, I have never regretted that I haven't, but……at tiht have happened? I'm sure that if I were in your position, I would have chosen to give up early on……but, you didn't give up You didn't cast it away easily You felt that it was important, and even cherished your past h the way you are”
A single pillar of faith stood inside of Ros thee to appear as falsities
At times, his affection could be deep, but if necessary he could cruelly and ruthlessly cast it away
That was just how absolute that pillar inside hirief, how different our circumstances were
His own state was a result of the choices he ret that
However, right now Romel's words and atmosphere made it seem as if he envied inally a problem with your relatives For now I'll leave thiswhile exhaling
His earlier tone of voice used in court crumbled and becahtest movement from him, I will move my private troops without hesitation If you don't make a move within a reasonable amount of time, then at that tiht My bad”
I couldn't say anything more than that and lowered my head
……it was because I understood that Ro for me to an unbelievable extent
”I will definitely resolve things……no matter what form that resolution takes”
And then, even while my heart still wavered, I resolved myself
