Chapter 29 (2/2)

“!”

How long had I had been staring at him?

I re back and forth four or five times I didn’t keep count after that so I wasn’t sure, but an appalled sound came out of me

“If you have business with me, say it What do you have a mouth for?” he asked dispassionately

“…………”

The words he said were very reasonable But it really ticked me off

asshole Mentally bunching my hands into fists, I pasted a smile on my face

“Excuse me I wanted to read a book on history,” I said, i him to move, but my father didn’t look like he could be bothered

It see his spot He looked at me and the shelves, and after a short while he opened his mouth

“Which era?”

“……?”

“I’ you to state the subject you wish to research”

Why was he asking about that?

I was puzzled When I didn’t answer him, he expressionlessly asked, Are you slow?

ARGHHHHH! I’M SOOOOOO pissED OFF!!!

“The Dark Lord!”

The mo for a moment

Those unique eyes with its color like thin ice reflected e His emotions couldn’t be read, and I faltered under his stare

“Do you want a fairy tale?”

“…no”

His low voice was as flat as ever Anger and delight were absent; no fragment of emotion could be detected

But for soainst the back of my neck, and my heart cowered in fear

Perhaps I’d unwittingly brought the dragon’s wrath upon myself

Still, I couldn’t help but negate him

“The Dark Lord is not a character inside a story He does not exist as a fable to lull a child keeping late hours to sleep”

“You wish to say he was real? So that is no more, and remains only in the descriptions of ancient texts?”

“Docu proof of our ancestors Several hundred years’ worth of time have passed, but even after the ift our ancestors have left behind are the ainst the dark”

Unintentionally, I began to get worked up as talked back to him

I couldn’t back down precisely because I knew the Dark Lord existed in this world

How ainst the Dark Lord face? How much did they suffer?

They itness to a strength that defied knowledge, that single-handedly laid waste to all But even when they continuously lost their holed without giving up hope I couldn’t help but hold awe and respect for those people

For their military success, for the proof of a ainst

A descendant frododom, was not allowed to ridicule it as a fairy tale

“I said I wanted to read a history book Please, do not misunderstand”

Fro off with him

Cla down on my panic, I sory nor surprised

All he said was, “I see”

………huh? That was it?

Even tricks have a lih to instantly executecomment

The inti reht it had been an illusion

Closing the book in his hand and returning it to the shelf, my father passed by me

Really, what just happened!

“If that is the case, you should stop by my chambers later”

“Huh…?”

I had a delayed response to the words his dropped as left, before rounding my eyes in shock

Confused, I turned around Feetgossip

“Books relating to the Dark Lord are in my control If you wish, I will show you”

I le word in response to his parting back
