Chapter 1010 – What Is the Right Heart?

“Yes. I wanted to meet you too.”
I replied while looking sideways at Leo.

Apparently, all this time Leo had been quietly warning him not to run into his wife, that he had something with her, and now, though embarrassed, he didn’t seem to feel threatened.
What is the criterion?

“Oh my God. Be happy.”

Squeak.

I was startled by a tickling feeling that overflowed my shoulders.
She was putting her hand on my shoulder and stroking it gently.

“Oops. Your shoulders are all together.”
“Uh…”
“Eh~”

Mrs. Greize, who rubs her shoulders with a cute voice that doesn’t match her appearance.

Oh… You’re pretty good at it?
Unknowingly, I almost leaned my back against the backrest.

“Oh, Mom!! What are you doing!!!”

If El hadn’t screamed out loud, she might have fallen for the massage.

“Uh-huh. Elysia’s successor-nim is in really good shape, isn’t it?”
“Sure! Get your hands off Dre!”

Not denying the favor is the dignified Elysia.
Mrs. Rise obediently removed her hand and moved it in front of me. As a result, she sat down next to Leor.

“Head of the family. Would it be okay if I explained instead?”

Now that permission is of any use?
Leo nodded his head.

“Please.”

A very dull answer.
How to say It’s like a show couple.
As soon as the affection for each other cools down, it feels like…?

Leo might not know it, but at least Mrs. Grise was more than aware that she should go to him. In other words, it seemed that there was no idea of ​​family.
In contrast to seeing Elysia protesting herself with her cute eyes.

“Yeah… Tea.”

She pushed the book in front of me.
Her upper body was bent tight, so her cleavage, which was otherwise emphasized, looked deeper.

I didn’t want to see her, so I opened my eyes right away and took a closer look at her features.
As expected of L’s mother, there were many similarities with her.
Like a dignified atmosphere, or a beautiful aristocrat that looks like it was painted in a painting.

However, it is fundamentally different from El.
There are only clumsy parts, but unlike L, which is based on warmth, I can feel a dry, mechanical part that is far from human.
A sense of incongruity that would have been hard to notice if it wasn’t for me.

“Whoa. I’m glad you’re staring at me as a woman.”
“Excuse me.”

I don’t think it’s something to say in front of her husband.
I lowered my gaze to the book.

“Your wife knows about Virnus…?”
“Yes. There are many traces like the phrase you saw earlier.”

Parala Rock. The book turns by itself, and the text glows red and dark.

Unlike the book the queen showed me, there are quite a few parts that are openly called ‘Vilnus’.
The only thing the characters openly call Virnus is… That part that was shown earlier.

“The only thing that the name Byrnus directly appears in the book is what I showed you earlier. There is just a handed down story.”
“The inherited ayagi?”
“Yes. It’s a tradition passed down through our clan.”

It seems that this person has no intention of hiding the Dark Clan.
Elle listened to her with a puzzled look on her face, as if she didn’t know this story, and she naturally drew closer to me.
…Smelling.

“In that tradition, Virnus is an existence that cannot be met, let alone touched, in the usual way. She is said to be the chosen one.”
“That… What does that mean?”
“We’re guessing that it might be a strong god.”

Strong spirit?
Whoever is chosen by something divine becomes Virnus itself?

“It’s just speculation based on various circumstances.”
“…Is that so.”

At last. Are you saying that Grise doesn’t know the information properly?
There was a harvest… But the moment I thought that, Mrs. Grize said.

“It was from the second generation that Brave started hiding the name of the first generation.”
“…2 units?”

The story of the ten heroes is a story from ten thousand years ago.
But you’ve been hiding your name for so long?
Daehang Why?

“The reason…Was a trade.”
“Transaction…?”

Mrs. Grize only smiled meaningfully at my question.
Don’t you know? Or is it that you can’t answer…?
But.
As a master of reading the other person’s malice, I, in these words, tell the truth and lies. I felt both at the same time.
In this case. The words themselves are true, but they are hiding something.

Then Leo intervened.

“As far as I know, the Brave wanted to start a war.”
“Yes?”
“Huh?! That, did you?!”

El said in surprise.
I was also pretty surprised.

“We were also very surprised at the time. The Braves were fair, even if they were coercive, and they were successfully leading us. We couldn’t imagine why they would go to war.”

At that moment the lady cast her tender gaze on her husband.

“There is something wrong with saying that I can’t guess the reason. The head of Brave must have felt nervous because our family head and the head of Blizzard were putting more and more pressure on them.

Leor shut his mouth.
What.
Why don’t you take my husband’s side!
Looking at Leo, I muttered, feeling the feeling of flirting.

“Feeling nervous…”

Brave was the center of the teenage family, but wasn’t it strong?

“Okay. To tell the truth thoroughly without hiding my faults, Brave has been feeling nervous since a long time ago, not in my generation. Do you know why?”
“Don’t hesitate and speak quickly.”

Leo, who flinched a little at my answer, immediately answered.

“They were losing the ten hero powers.”
“…Loss?”
“Brave’s unique Ryunar has faded, and the artifact has become unavailable… We’re assuming so.”
“Uh…?”
“In other words, the foundation of the Brave family’s revival was shaking.”

That would inevitably make you feel nervous.
What made the teenage family special was the lineage of heroes. It must have been the unique Ryunar and artifacts that were the proof.

But, guess what?
Just a guess, right?

“Of course. Even if it wasn’t the power inherited from the hero, their influence was enormous. However, as long as the foundation is shaken, those under their control might attack at any time, and we, who show ambition to occupy the center at any time, were annoyed. I slept.”

Brave tried to prepare for a large-scale war involving all the teenage families.
The target of the war was… Not a teenage family, but a different place.

“The target of the war was the demons.”
“Hmm.”
“Since the enemy of the ancestors was the Pandemonium, the demons were an appropriate war opponent. However, the targets that Brave included as enemies included many innocent ordinary citizens.”
“Don’t pretend to be just.”

I stabbed myself, but Leo didn’t care and answered.

“At that time, I sincerely thought that way. Dirgr is also a demon in the first place. If it’s a demon king with a cruel temper, there’s no reason to like it even though it’s supposed to eliminate even innocent demons.”
“Ummm…”
“We learned the information in advance and took advantage of the gap to subdue the Brave’s leadership.”

Be suppressed

“Where is the family head of that time now?”
“…Is dead.”

I was a little surprised.
Leo had a very complex face. He felt sincere.

“He… Was a truly amazing person. He was the owner of the family and was forced to move under the pressure of being responsible for all who followed him. Originally, even if he wasn’t a Brave, he would have been brilliant…”
“It burned to death.”

Ignoring Leo’s thoughts, Lady Grize said.

“You burned him to death?”
“No. He’s dead.”

Mrs. Greize, still smiling, added:

“They are artifacts, and the ‘authority’ of the focal point. Judging from the remaining records, it seems that they were trying to use the authority currently possessed by the heir.”
“Ah. The unique Ryunar seal?”

Did Brave have the authority he received while going through the main quest?

“To be precise, it was only possessed, and it seems that they did not know how to use it.”

I tried to use it because I was in a hurry, but it seems that it did not work well.
And.

“Everyone is burned.”
“…Everyone is?”

At my question, this time Leo answered with a mixed voice.

“Every bloodline of the Braves, as well as those who have mastered their native Ryunar, have been burned to death, until they are charred.”
“…Note.”

Why?
Why did everyone suddenly burn to death?
I asked in a doubtful voice, with a Kingly heart.

“Isn’t the head of the household killing and manipulating it?”

At my words, Leo rarely made an angry face, then relaxed his expression at my cold gaze.
Even so, he made a very sad voice as if he was angry.

“Why would I get rid of the Braves? To be honest, I thought it best to leave them alive and control them from behind!”
“You’re too honest.”
“Dad…”

Even though I was like that, when Elysia looked at me with this kind of… Eyes, Leo was shocked.

“Eh, L. Dad…”

Seeing Leo’s shock, Elysia took a quick glance and said brightly.

“Still, you tried to be very lenient. Amazing Dad…!!”
“L…!!”

Her father and daughter are on good terms.
Leor cleared his throat as much as he could at my smirking gaze.

“…Anyway, Brave has been the focal point for nearly 10,000 years, and if they quit overnight, their influence wouldn’t be small. Losing them would almost certainly lead to chaos. I had a different idea from the desperate Nova.”

Are you secretly picking up Nova…?

“Like Hest said, I should have taken a more gentle approach… I thought about it, but it was a belated regret.”
“You mean mildly?”
“It was an opinion that we should gradually crush the influence and try to talk it out.”

Is that scary enough?
What is an aristocratic society anyway?

“Hest knew the importance of the Braves. Other families, big or small, recognized their influence and skills. Most of the family heads were passive in suppressing the Braves by force, while Hart and Hest completely opposed the suppression.”
“…”

The heart… Is it?

“It’s not a lie. Get your information somewhere other than us. At the time, it was very famous that all Brave members were killed in a mysterious arson.”

Even the teenage family could not avoid the investigation of the Nthiaer kingdom in a sudden, world-stunning disaster, but in the end no evidence came out. I couldn’t even ask for guilt.

At the time, Brave was treated as a criminal who unreasonably tried to start a war, so he couldn’t come out stronger.

However, there is a sense of incongruity in this story.

“All. Are they burned to death?”
“Yes. The family head, his wife, and the heir… Including him and all of his subordinates.”
“…”

Then. What is she
I looked at Mrs. Greize.
She used the expression ‘being chosen’ earlier.

Then. ‘She is.
Was Madora chosen?

“…I’ll wake up. Thank you for today.”
“Huh?! Sleep and go Dre!!”

El said while holding my arm, and Lady Grize also laughed coquettishly.

“I hope you do too. There are many things I want to tell you.”
“No. I have work to do.”
“I’m sorry.”

Unlike Leor, who still had a complex face, she got up slowly, lifted the hem of her skirt with her graceful gesture, and bent her back.

“Please visit again. And, we, the clan… Promise to obey unconditionally as long as the heir is the heir, and as long as we receive the protection of our god.”

I looked at her blankly and said to her El, clinging to her arm.

“I’ll come back next time.”
“Ah, okay!! Then, you have to tell me when you’re coming…?”

What is the reddened face thinking?

By the way. God’s protection?
Come to think of it, Holy Dragon. His divine protection still remained.

What is the secret of Grise, who is a descendant of a hero, has a divine beast as his guardian god, and actually worships the Holy Dragon as a god?

Returned to the Heart family.
Tonight is the day I decided to meet with Queen Eniris.

I firmly told Reina and Lena not to come into my room tonight.
Of course, Rope-chan is an exception!!
My heart beats when I think of my cute and adorable pet who is waiting for my meal on the 4th floor.

Upon entering the Hart family, Ellie bends over her as if she had waited.

“Have you been?”
“Yes. I had a good trip. Eli-nim also belongs to the Rise family, so it would have been nice if she had gone with me.”
“I’m embarrassed to meet the madam.”
“…”

This speech.
It sounds like Mrs. Grize must have met me today, and that must be true.
What else is that lady up to?

“Gold-nim ​​says he can’t come in today.”
“I’m busy.”

Gold. Will my body be okay?
I’ll have to check it out at work next time.

Haha!! Dre-sama!!”

I looked up at the loud laughter.

Instead of Gold, Gald walked up and down the stairs with a smile on his face and his arms spread out.
Did you come back

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you!”
“Patriarch. I wanted to see you too.”

Gald, who respectfully bowed her back and raised me up with a sigh of relief.

Haha. The universal warrior coveted by the holy kingdom is showing courtesy, this Galde. I don’t know what to do!”

Being a warrior made me goosebumps.
Although he has served as a warrior several times in the game.
I’ve taken on a lot of demon lords and demon gods.

“I am the head of a huge family like the Hart family, who treats me like this…”

I was about to say that it was uncomfortable, but I just said I didn’t know where to put my body.

“Heh heh heh. You build my prestige. Do you have anything you want…? Heh heh heh!”

It was a strong joke, but if I asked for it, he would listen.
I… I was thinking about asking about Brave before I opened my mouth.

“Mr. Gald.”
“Yes! Heir!”
“Could you please let me meet Madora?”
“…Yes! Of course!”

Why?
Although Gald’s face was very brief, it seemed as if it were hardened like a stone.
