I Became A Villain In A Novel
Twenty-three
Right now I'm dealing with my father, when I ask who is the enemy of this family and who is cooperating with, dad drags me into his study and sets up soundproof magic.
"Why are you asking? Is anyone trying to hurt you?" Ask my father seriously.
"I've grown up father, although not yet debutante in the upper class but I have to know who are the enemies of our family, I'm just afraid in the future I will take a wrong step." I said with full explanation.
My father let out a tired sigh, he then opened a box of teak wood engraved with dragon patterns.
"Dad doesn't understand why you asked that, but you're right you should know from now on. Actually no one is really sincere in a relationship with Asteria.
Father and emperor can also be this close not because of friendship, but because of our common purpose, the emperor will give father authority and father will protect the imperial family.
I could have rebelled because the truth is that control of the military is in your hands, it's just that you never wanted the throne." Obviously my father at length, here I have a little conclusion.
"Then why did you say that no one is really sincere about working with our family?" I don't understand.
"Son, the thing inside this box is so precious, they're after this box! They do not fight because, our soldiers are the strongest and swear allegiance to the father, then this box can only be opened by one of the Asteria teachers who have been destined." Said my father looking long at the box with the dragon carving pattern.
"So, has anyone ever been able to open it? Why is this so in incar?"
"Nobody has ever been able to open it, this box is in the target because according to the previous Duke, in it there is something that if it falls on people with greedy nature then there will be the destruction of the continent."
Now that I'm starting to understand, is it because this box is all a duke's family at execution? But not only can be opened by direct descendants of Asteria who have been destined? Then why should they kill the duke instead of threatening to open the box?
Then where is the strongest army that swore allegiance to father? Why didn't they fight back when my father and my two brothers were executed?
"Dad, is the oath rule strong?" I asked my father who was keeping the box.
"Of course, the vow cannot be said carelessly, if we break the oath then there is finally only a tragic death." Said my father.
***
After talking for quite a while, I went back to my room and wrote down an important point from the information I got from my father.
The first thing that allows the execution of the duke is due to greed for the box which is believed if it falls on the bad guy can cause continental disaster.
Waitaminute!
The word falling on a bad person can cause the destruction of the continent means that the box can be opened not only by the descendants of Asteria who have been destined.
Did when they executed Dad, they have found a way to open the box?
He said the box could not be destroyed, not even by the most powerful fire, what the box actually contained.
Ah I really don't understand! Then the second one, because the duke's knight army is stronger than the others and could have rebelled, but the duke didn't do that! Why aren't the knights helping anyway?
And the third was, probably because the Asterian duke did not swear allegiance to the emperor and only signed a contract on paper, and the imperial party considered it a threat.
And the last possibility is the fault of the Duke himself.
Ah I don't understand that it's all possible why all Asteria descendants can be executed, this really makes me confused there's nothing certain here.
In the novel the reason Duke was executed was really random, and should not that reason be spread to the community and also what the Duke did should be revealed in front of the temple as a sign of the appropriate evidence or not a family at the execution?
"It's so complicated." I muttered while ruffling my hair in depression.
"When have you been here?" I asked after he sat down in front of me.
"Since you came in." Relaxed reply.
Fortunately I muttered in my heart, fortunately I used the alphabet in writing things.
"Infoiler!" I said cynically, and he just smiled handsomely at my words.
"What meda?" Ask her.
"Nothing, are you at home here? The star festival's only a few days away, you're not going out?" I switched the conversation.
"If accompanied by you then I'll go out!" Damn, he used me.
"No." In a flat tone I rejected her, she chuckled softly and stroked my hair which was somehow very comfortable.
I looked at his handsome face, it felt so familiar I don't know why, like having met somewhere and familiar, but why did it feel so stifling, that I couldn't even hate him?
"Leon."
He was surprised, I was surprised inexplicably this familiar yet unfamiliar name was spoken so casually by my mouth, I cursed myself.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I suddenly said that." My words that easily explain, when I should be mediocre anyway all I say is my own right.
She smiled and said it was okay and stroked my hair slowly, at a glance her face looked muddy which was even more puzzling, was she jealous because I mentioned another man's name while with her?
"Can you go with me today, tomorrow I have to go because it turns out the situation is so out of control." Sean said suddenly.
"Ah right, I also have to leave tomorrow he said leaving with your troops later so that nothing happens during the trip." My reply.
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know? I'd like to volunteer there, just so you know I'm a medical genius." I'm proud of myself.
"Dangerous!"
"No, I'll go there!"
"You... Huh you're so stubborn."
He lost the debate and left, the plan to go to the star festival did not happen because I had to rest and get ready for tomorrow's trip.
He said from Mavros to Ravnos it would take 10 days if the journey used magic without lingering rest.
I also want to jump into hands-on practice, although my healer is good and my Alcemist is amazing, my medical science is still lacking because I died in koas.
Healer can only heal minor wounds and external wounds, while Alcemist only makes herbs as a medicine, in contrast to doctors who are able to diagnose internal diseases.
This civilization of medical science is still lacking, maybe there will be people who suffer from internal medicine and I cannot waste that opportunity.
Thor wanted up tomorrow gaiseu, just really ges-bener gtu gent up now, emg thor is very unstable anyway wkwk but yes want how elseðŸ˜
