Chapter 84 – Part 2 Nobles – Link to the Past (2)

“Wait, 3 people? Not 4 people?”
“Yes. I heard that they are 1 boy and 2 girls, so there must be 2 more daughters besides you.”

Elsaria’s words quickly turned my head.
1 male and 2 females. Then 1 person is not enough.

“You only have two daughters? Then what about Kun? Isn’t that Erie?”
“Erie? Who is that? I’ve never heard of that name.”

Elsaria really seemed to be hearing it for the first time.

It wasn’t Kun. But does that mean that the other three are siblings?
Should I call this fortunate or unfortunate?

“…Then, what are the names of the mothers of the other children?”
“Lisa, Erin and Christy. Those three are the women who gave birth to Leo’s child.”

I hoped it wasn’t, but the names I expected came out.

Lisa is Ray’s mother.
Erin is my mother.
And Christy is Jean’s mother’s name.

I banged my head on the table.
Haha. Were the three of us half-brothers and sisters…

A dejected laugh escaped from his mouth.

“…It’s fine?”
“Yes. Never mind.”

At Elsaria, who was a little flustered, I shook her hand as she slammed her head into the table.

Why didn’t anyone tell me? Most of the villagers must have known that Ray and I were not normal. Especially Ray’s mother and Jin’s mother.
Shouldn’t I have told you in advance so that the relationship doesn’t get deeper? Or did you deliberately not tell me? Then for what?
I don’t know what adults think.

And that’s why my sisters and ajumma treated me so well.
I knew at least that our village was not normal. There are very few men, and all the women are young sisters or widows who have lost their husbands. There is an unusually loved country out there. There’s no way I wouldn’t think it’s weird.

The women who followed my father to such a rural corner. But his father died (disappeared?) Soon after. Then it would be normal for everyone to go back to where they came from. But they stayed in the village.

For what? Just because of me

Having inherited half of my father’s blood, I might not have been a substitute for my father who had disappeared. The village women may have been projecting my father’s image as a child while looking at me as a child.
So I was loved abnormally, had a physical relationship, and stepped on the stairs of an adult that most adults would never experience. I mean from a very young age.

Absolutely no complaints there. Not at all but…
For some reason, my mind is complicated. Maybe those older sisters didn’t like me, they just liked the reflection of my father in me.
Because she was originally my father’s woman…

Ugh…
Hmmm…

I lifted my forehead from the table. Elsaria was looking this way with her worried eyes.

She doesn’t know how I was in that town. That’s why she said, ‘Why didn’t you tell me that?’ I don’t know how I’ll take it
Might be more fortunate for me. If Elsaria had kept it a secret, I might have never known the truth.
She is a valuable source of information. I’d like to dig up some more information.

I continued to ask questions, pretending to be as calm as possible.

“Come to think of it, what does Elsaria have to do with her father? Who is my father in the first place? How did she seduce a woman enough to create a village?”

If Elsaria’s words are true, my father is no ordinary human. Could it be the rare flirt, the legendary Casanova?
And Elsaria’s answer to that was beyond my expectations.

“Your father, Leo, is a three-generation former warrior…”
“Warrior!?”

Warrior.
It is the pinnacle of mankind, a title given to the strongest hunter of the time.
Those who fight the demon army with the hero are called the warrior party, and the warrior and the party fight the demon army at the forefront of the demon realm with full support from mankind (the empire, to be exact).

The hero is the flower of the hunter, the protagonist of the story, and the hope of mankind. There is even an anecdote in which the former emperor of the empire said in a speech, “The emperor is the king of the empire, but the hero is the king of mankind.”

…That my father was a warrior.
But the shocking truth didn’t end there.

“And your mother, Erin, is Princess Erincia of the Kingdom of Brigantes…”
“Princess!?”

Haha.
I feel like I’m going crazy

My mother is actually a princess of a country. Doesn’t I have some kind of succession to the throne?

However, if you think about it, the country called Brigantes was already destroyed in the past and disappeared into history. There will be no crumbs of power left to me. It is regrettable for me, who has recently begun to appreciate the sweetness of power.

By the way, if it’s the princess of the ruined kingdom…

“…Has your mother ever been sold into slavery?”

It reminded me of a story the slave trader had told me before.
The most expensive slave ever sold was a princess of a kingdom that was destroyed 20 years ago. I don’t remember the exact amount, but the word ‘princess of a ruined country’ touched my heart, so I remembered that part.

Elsaria nodded her head in surprise.

“Come to think of it, that also happened. Leo saved her from being almost sold as a slave after the fall of the Kingdom of Brigantes. Since then, she changed her name to Erin and followed Leo as his servant.”

I banged my head on the table. This is the second time today.
…I can’t believe it was my mother’s story.

Then, did my father, who had grown up as a princess, use my mother as a slave? Her mother, who has fallen from a princess to a slave and becomes irresistible, is forcibly dragged to the front line and becomes a man’s plaything, and she eventually gets pregnant unwantedly, and that’s why she was born that way…?

“…I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but the two of them loved each other even before they were enslaved. And Leo freed Erin right away, but she followed Erin because she liked her.”

Seeing my unusual reaction, Elsaria made up for it.
Chet. Was it like that Father’s trash operation is a failure.
I lifted my head off the table again.

“Then Ray’s mother… What about Aunt Lisa or Aunt Christie?”
“Lisa is the Sword Saint, Christie is the Saint. It was a party of heroes like Leo and I.”

A slight smile forms on Elsaria’s lips. Is she even remembering the fun times?
But I couldn’t help but laugh.

Rei’s mother is the Sword Saint.
Jin’s mother is a saint.
And my father is a warrior, and his mother is a princess.

What the hell is this It’s not even children’s playhouse.

“Why are such people stuck in such a corner!”

I clutched my head.

Why are such great people farming and living in such a rural area?
How much money did you earn? Ability? What about technology?
Even if it’s not that kind of country corner, I can’t live comfortably in a much better house. Then I would have played, ate, and lived well for the rest of my life!

Come to think of it, I remember when I was injured while playing when I was young, my mother stroked me and the wound healed like a charm. Could that be the ability of the former saintess?

“Ha… My father is a harem warrior…”

A princess and a sword castle saint. Besides, there are dozens of women in the village. Besides, even young girls who are not old enough…

Goddamn father… Playboy… Running around women with power on his back! I am the enemy of men all over the world! I will never be like my father! I’d like to say, but has it already happened? Holy shit!
It was also my genes that made me like this. It’s not my fault.

“…Elsaria, by any chance, did you have a relationship like that… With your father?”

I asked with a nervous feeling.
If Elsaria were also her father’s lover, then my heart, as delicate as glass, might be shattered.

“I was offered, but I declined. I am not free.”
“Kuh…”

Elsaria’s expression when she said that was confusing.
Did you make a recommendation! Doesn’t race matter? You unfaithful human! I really don’t know how to be self-respecting!

…But that’s fortunate. Only Elsaria seems untainted by the damned hero.
But she is already Elsaria, who has been active in the warrior’s party for decades. Even if it wasn’t for her father, there’s no way men would have left her alone.

“Whoa…”

I think I heard everything I wanted to hear. Thanks to you, there are a lot of issues to think about.
Among them, the biggest problem… Is it Rei and Jin…

Sigh…
Water that has already been spilled, and semen that has been wrapped up. You can’t pick it up again.
Then there is only one way.

“Let’s do something that never happened.”
“What?”

Maybe I’m making the most serious expression in my life right now.

“I’m going to pretend that everything that happened in this room never happened. Elsaria didn’t say anything. I didn’t hear anything either. I don’t know anything about my father or mother or the villagers. You understand?”

Yes. All you have to do is pretend it never happened.
My head explodes just thinking about in which country marriages between half-brothers and sisters are allowed, what the older sisters in the village were thinking.

So today, I’m going to do everything that didn’t happen. It’s just like before, without thinking. Do it if you want to, eat if you want to eat, sleep if you want to sleep. This is the completion of a world where no one gets hurt.

If Ray’s mother later puts a knife to my throat, she just needs to say, “I didn’t know.” Haha! It’s all because you didn’t teach me!

“…Is there something wrong?”

Elsaria asked with a worried expression.

That’s a lot of circumstances!
Because daughters who were born with the same father are enslaved and lead a promiscuous life! Because he also had a promiscuous life with his father’s women!

But I couldn’t say that to Elsaria.

“Elsaria. A lot of people will get hurt if this is known. Could you please keep it a secret? Elsaria and I have to take this to the grave. I’ll do anything I can.”

I’ll do anything, even if it’s dirty!
I bowed my head and asked Elsaria.
Elsaria looked at my serious expression, pondered for a moment, and then she nodded her head gravely.

“Okay. I don’t know the circumstances, but for now, I can just pretend I don’t know, right?”
“I’d appreciate it if you did that. Instead, I’ll support you as much as possible to live in the kingdom.”

It’s okay! With this, the problem is solved!
In fact, nothing was resolved, but I decided to believe that. There is nothing more foolish than worrying about a problem for which there is no solution.

Just in time, the government official informed us that the asylum procedure had been completed, so Elsaria and I stood up. Receiving respectful greetings from government officials, we left the office.

Elsaria had a hood pulled over her head when she came out. She’ll probably stand out if she looks like that.

Anyway, after hearing such a shocking story, my appetite and libido disappeared completely. According to the plan, more colorful conversations between men and women were to take place in that room…
I swallowed my regret and spoke to Elsaria.

“It seems like you’ve been talking about me all along. Why did Elsaria leave the Empire?”

She couldn’t bear to say why she was kicked out.
Even if her stronger archer came out, it would be a great loss for her empire to kick her out as she is still capable and has a lot of experience. If she said rather go out, wouldn’t she have to hold on to the crotch of her pants and dry it?

Elsaria said with her wry smile.

“There may be many reasons, but first of all, I am free of charge.”
“No charge? Elsaria?”

I was surprised to hear that the hero in the story is free of charge. Will I be able to become strong enough to join the warrior party even without paying?

“Since the time given to elves is long, they can become strong as long as time passes. Even if it’s free of charge.”

In Elsaria’s voice, I could feel the emotion of remorse.

“However, it takes a lot of time to keep up with the changes. If new equipment is added to the equipment summon or a new type of enemy appears, a lot of investment is required. With charging, the money and time required can be solved with charging. As a tax-free person, I have to spend a long time or receive support from the state.”
“Then, can’t the country support it?”
“It would have been like that in the past, but now times have changed. Talented young hunters and billing warriors are overflowing. It is the Empire’s will now to invest in young people, preferably in the same human race.”

If possible, invest in the same humanity…
Since I am also a human being, it is not that I do not know the desire to invest in the same human being. However, if I had to choose between a talented hunter (male) and an unpaid elf (beauty), I would definitely choose the latter. Imperials are fools.

“It’s already been 50 years since I’ve been active in the Empire. My influence has grown so much. It’s not strange if there are people who think of me as a thorn in the eye.”

Fifty years on that notorious front line?
Although elves and humans have a different concept of time, it is more than respectful and terrifying.

“Elsaria, you’ve worked hard. From now on, you’ll be comfortable at my house.”
“…My house?”
“Huh? Aren’t you going to live in our house?”
“No, thank you for your heart, but I…”
“There’s nothing to say. Elsaria is my parents’ colleague, so she’s like my colleague, right? You can make Elsaria feel as comfortable as at home. There are plenty of rooms.”

I smiled brightly and appealed that I had no selfishness.
Elsaria smiled a little as she saw me like that.

“…I see. Is this also a fate? If you say that, I’ll be grateful.”

Yes yes Make it feel like home. Sometimes you might ‘accidentally’ run into me in the bathroom!
