48.

“You mean you don’t want to answer.”

“You didn’t give me the answer earlier.”

Then he half looked down at the chair.

“You mean you broke the chair?”

Jin grinned.

“Are you asking knowingly? “Are you asking because you don’t know?”

That was the answer. Jin deliberately made a loud noise to separate Ban and Licht. Ban’s expression turned cold at that fact. The natural atmosphere subsided. Meanwhile, Jin was smiling the whole time.

‘What situation is that?’

Mary, who came to pick up something she needed from home, saw the two and narrowed her eyes and frowned. No matter how much I look at her, I don’t know why she’s like that.

‘Well, that’s enough.’

Even if you pay more attention, only you will get tired. Mary yawned and finished her business. Then she went out of the house again. A small town councilor might seem like an easygoing person, but that’s not the case.

Because the location is in a rough area, many people get injured secretly, and people are asked to play other roles as well. It was because he was a person with a lot of knowledge.

Is that all? Mary and her father even went on business trips to the next town. This was because there were no lawmakers there. Perhaps because he was in a similar situation, my father could not refuse the request.

“song!”

Mary shouted to her father who was waiting at the entrance to the village. Even riding a horse to the neighboring village takes quite some time. When I arrived, there were several patients waiting. As I frantically looked after each and every one of them, it was already evening.

“Go to sleep tonight.”

The village chief next door encouraged us and gave us a room. As it often happened, his father nodded. I decided to stay with peace of mind because I thought I could leave the wounds of the large man and class I looked after in the village for at least a day.

The first floor of the village chief’s house had a fairly large living room, and every evening the village men gathered there and made noise. So, Mary, who usually stayed in her room, but today was a day for women to gather, was bored and went downstairs.

“Look at this!”

“What are you looking at?”

I was curious about the waving paper, so I approached it and saw a familiar face drawn on it. I was surprised and saw that it was a wanted badge.

“He’s a noble who started a rebellion, and if you catch him safely, he’ll give you a lot of money!”

“Hey, but the opponent is a nobleman. How are you going to catch him?”

“What’s so special about being noble? Look at this. “You look so corrupt.”

The young man who worked as a hunter laughed out loud. His heart pounded. Under the swaying lamplight, I held up the wanted badge and examined it closely. It wasn’t a mistake after all. Lord Devine, written here, is the same person as Richt, who is currently staying at Mary’s house.

I looked up and saw my father looking this way too. Even my father noticed. Mary’s village and this village were not only populated by clean people. Some went into hiding because they could not pay taxes, and some committed crimes. So he thought Richt might have something there too.

‘But treason!’

That’s something a small town like this can’t afford. If they are discovered, the village may be exterminated. Mary calmly put down the wanted badge. Her father seemed to have similar thoughts. He had to hide it for now.

“Come to think of it, Mary’s village. “Hasn’t someone new arrived recently?”

A hunter who interacted with the villages and exchanged food asked.

“I went again. “It didn’t seem like he was going to stay long.”

“already? Still, Mary’s village is nice to live in, right?”

Thanks to Jin, I don’t have to starve. Mary continued the conversation for a while, then said she was tired and went up to her room. She couldn’t sleep well. And when day dawned, she returned with her father to her village.

“jin!”

As soon as Mary entered the house, she looked for Jin first.

“why?”

“Come on.”

First, I called Jin out of the house and asked him.

“Are the people in my house wanted right now?”

“One person.”

Jin answered honestly.

“… … “What is the crime?”

“treason.”

My heart sinks.

“That is dangerous.”

Instead of Mary, who was speechless, her father spoke.

“We cannot allow a traitor to stay here.”

“is it?”

I see, Rani! How serious is this now! Mary was furious. Just as I was about to shout, Jin’s answer was a little faster.

“good. “We’ll all be out of town by tomorrow.”

“… … thank you.”

Jin shrugged his shoulders.

“I am truly grateful for this time.”

“You might think I don’t know about grace, but it’s dangerous for the village.”

“That’s why I’m saying I’ll leave. However, I don’t think you will ever see my face again.”

At those words, the congressman raised his head in confusion.

“Are you saying we’re cutting off support?”

“In the meantime, I helped out because I needed it. But is there any more reason to help now?”

cold He didn’t seem to be the person who had been laughing and talking all this time. They’re cutting off support because of something like this. Then what about the village? Because it is located in a rough area, farming is difficult, and the animals caught by hunters cannot satisfy everyone.

“You’re too much.”

Mary stammered. However, Jin did not respond and turned his back. Is it really the end like this? Her head became dizzy.

“It’s a big deal.”

My father sighs. The food we have now cannot last one season. Mary knew that too.

‘You’ve been good to me so far.’

In order to give back as much as he received from Jin, he treated whoever he brought in without saying a word. It was like that this time too. But then they cut off support like this in vain.

I didn’t want to go back to the way it was before. It was a terrible time when it was difficult to even eat one meal a day. At that time, it was difficult to properly obtain the herbs needed for treatment, so there was nothing that could be done properly even when people were sick.

Something leaked out of my heart. I remembered the huge amount of money hanging on the wanted badge. And the added phrase as well.

Those who commit sins will have their sins reduced.

If you catch Licht and hand him over, the crime will disappear and you will make a lot of money.

“Mary, don’t think strange thoughts. “It’s best to live quietly.”

That’s not normal! They cannot wear proper clothes or eat like young people their age. At that time, Mary shook her hands, as was her habit.

“father.”

“Never do anything foolish.”

The congressman said that and went into the house. Today, his father’s back looked small. Instead of following her father, Mary sat down under a nearby tree.

Jin was looking at Mary from inside the house. Now he has set a trap. The question is whether Mary will get caught there. He thought he might get caught. Because I knew she hated the past so much.

Although I liked Richt, I had probably forgotten that by now.

‘I didn’t originally plan on doing this.’

Recently, I felt my heart shaking and thought it was dangerous. Richt has changed. And the changed Licht fits Jin’s taste perfectly. Still, you shouldn’t fall for it. Because he had a family to protect.

Recently one of the clan gave birth to a child. The child wanted to live freely. So I decided to put Richt in danger. Instead of creating a dangerous situation and rescuing them, they break the shackles of their clan.

It’s about getting what you’ve been dreaming of.

‘In that case, I have to separate half of it.’

Since his body had not fully recovered yet, it seemed easy to separate him. No matter how good a knight he is, with a body like that, he won’t be able to keep up. Moreover, only Licht has a sacrificial personality.

Mary outside the window moved. She approaches her horse, which has been temporarily tied to a tree, shuffling her feet nervously. Half a day is enough to run to the next village, ask for help, and then run from there to the city.

The question now is how thoroughly Archduke Graham prepared. If he’s that obsessed, he’ll come running right away. Even if not, we will mobilize people in the city.

So far, everything has worked out as expected.

Fighting.

The rain that had stopped during the day began to fall again. This time it was a little thicker. The doctor who had gone to the next town to take care of a patient returned, but stayed in his room without saying a word. There is no sign of Jindo there.

The unlit living room was cold and had an odd atmosphere. Richt looked out the window, then packed his meal and headed to his class.

Ban sat on the bed and quietly ate his meal.

“Are your wounds okay? Should I call the congressman?”

Maybe I’m not checking because I’m fine, but I’m anxious.

“it’s okay. “I am healing smoothly.”

Ban shook his head saying it was okay.

“It’s a bit cold.”

“Yes, it’s cold.”

Ban said that and rubbed his arm with his hand. A quick glance showed that it wasn’t because it was really cold. There is something you want.

Richt put away the finished bowl and picked up the blanket. As soon as he goes under it, Ban’s body twitches.

“lie down.”

Ban lay down quietly in his seat. Richt lay down next to him and placed his hand on Van’s chest. And he patted me a few times.

“Mr. Licht.”

“huh.”

“There is one thing I want to do.”

“What?”

It’s cute. Do you even want to kiss me? I looked at him with strange eyes, but the words that came out of Ban’s mouth were different.

“I want to take a shower.”

Now that I think about it, I haven’t washed my face properly since I was brought here. All I had to do was wipe it with a wet towel. When I became conscious, I naturally smelled the class. And yet there is no unpleasant smell. In some ways, it’s amazing.
