Chapter 66 – Foir (2)

“Medal of Honor.”

Jack raised his face. In front of him stood the employees of the Charlotte Law Office. The woman in her uniform staring at the wall with a sharp face is Alice. And the name of the man standing next to him was Alan. Alan stroked his beard and said the name of the medal once more.

“Medal of Honor.”

“What is this?”

Alice cautiously asked Alan a question. Alan tapped his thick belly and said.

“This is an award given to the person who acted most honorably as a knight in the kingdom. That was 10 years ago. Jack was then a knight among knights. He refused pressure and conciliation from the nobles and uncovered the worst bribery scandal in the kingdom at the time.”

Jack lowered his head. Explaining the glory of the past to him now was like bringing light to a shadow. Just as a shadow fades away in shame, he too, realizing the shame of his present form, was twisting his body.

Said Alan.

“And years passed. While investigating the corruption of Hero’s party, who took power, he was kicked out for accepting bribes from demon followers.”

Alan didn’t tell me what happened next.

Jack’s image now explained more concisely and clearly what had happened to him. As the justice he believed in collapsed, he became addicted to drinking and gambling. He laments the world while drinking all day, and immerses himself in gambling to forget his hopeless feelings. As he sold each and every property of his house like that, he came to this country far away from the capital before he knew it.

“I have no face.”

That was all Jack could say. Alan said to Alice.

“Alice. The Charlotte Law Office wants to give a man who once burned himself for justice in this country a chance to clear his name.”

Alice looked back at Jack. She still couldn’t fully trust Jack. In any case, it was true that he had spent the money he did not know the source of. Jack looked into Alice’s eyes and said, shaking her body.

“Even, I’ll admit that I lost my mind for a moment when I saw the money. That must be proof that I’m crazy enough to lose control over a few pennies. The moment I saw the money, I should have run somewhere and reported it. I admit I have raised my doubts.”

Jack’s face was stained with tears. Alice frowned even more when she saw him crying.

“However, I swear on that medal that I did not steal or sell livestock myself. Indeed, one day I woke up and there was money by my bedside!”

Alice turned her head. Alan looked at her Alice and said.

“Alice. Personal feelings should not be put into the incident. Do you understand?”

“…Yes.”

Alice then nodded her head and held Jack’s hand. Jack held Alice’s hand tightly and wept even more.

“Huh… Boo, please… ! For the sake of my daughter’s future, please clear my name!”

Alice didn’t look at Jack. She just stared at the picture of her family over Jack’s shoulder. There was a figure of Jack and a girl. A woman who looked about the same age as Alice had an innocent smile.

“Please… !”

The moment Alice saw the picture, she couldn’t help but hate Jack even more. Because he was the same kind of human being as Carlson. Humans at the bottom always blame other circumstances and bring sins to their children.

Alice, even now, thinking only of Carlson made her feel worse. The more she thinks about him, the more her stomach gets nauseous and her body trembles with hatred. Alice resisted her urge to slap Jack in the face, then turned around and left.

Because there was enough information about the case.

******

“Hello.”

Jack’s daughter was a prettier child than I thought. She was now working on another farm for a daily wage. During her time to drink her water, I sneaked into the farm and greeted her.

“Oh, hello. Are you on a trip?”

She put her water down as soon as I entered and smiled broadly and nodded her head. Even outwardly, she had a toned and well-proportioned body. Her arms stretched out through her farm suspenders, holding her muscles, and between her raised arms you could see her smooth armpits. Her breasts were so voluptuous that the suspenders looked stuffy, and whenever she bent her waist, her hips stood out.

I nodded her head as I voyeurized her body.

“Ah yes. We decided to stay here for a while.”

“Ah, that’s right. Then can I guide you now?”

“Oh, would you please?”

I pretended to be a tourist and naturally stood next to her. Jack’s daughter threw her pitchfork lightly at her side and lifted her up. Every time she stretched out her arms, her cleft muscles stood out. Her warrior-like body also reminded her that she was a knight’s daughter.

“What’s your name?”

“Lorena. This is Lorena.”

Lorena grinned through her tanned, sunburned face. Her brown skin blended with her lively and bright personality, exuding a fresher charm. I was sure to see her smiling face.

It’s this woman

Lorena is a woman worthy of being my number one servant in this town.

“She must have trained her body a lot. Just like knights.”

“Oh, is that so? In fact, I trained to become a knight in the past.”

“Is it so?”

Lorena smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“…But they didn’t accept the entrance exam. My father was a knight, but he quit rather badly.”

“It must have been a big deal. She must have trained hard.”

Lorena nodded and went on.

“Yes. My father was also very sorry. He must think he got in my way. It’s okay if I don’t do articles.”

She was a really nice woman Was Jack a good knight back in the day? I said, nodding her head at her words.

“What are your plans for the future?”

Lorena looked around for a moment at my question, then spoke in a low voice.

“Actually, my father is under suspicion right now.”

“I know. The story of the disappearance of livestock, right?”

“Ah yes.”

I didn’t bother to mention that my daughter, Alice, was in charge of the case. Lorena said she blinked once, as if she was a little surprised that I knew.

“Everyone suspects that my father did it, but I believe he is not the kind of person who would do that. Now just… You are wandering. I believe that one day he will regain his strength and return to being his original father.”

I have seen many people who were sound people but fell into alcohol and gambling due to a momentary mistake and walked an irreversible path. Most were sold as slaves with me, and there were times when I was my master and sold me for gambling debts.

They were always with people who believed in them, and they dragged them all into the pit.

I don’t trust people who are crazy about drinking and gambling.

I was, in fact, half convinced that Jack had indeed stolen cattle.

But, does the world change when Jack really steals cattle? Just as the country won’t collapse even if the hero party represents all the evil in the world and commits corruption, it doesn’t matter if someone other than Jack is the culprit.

In the end, everything is someone else’s business.

Whether Jack learned from this incident and went on to steal more viciously or fall more heavily into drinking and gambling, that was someone else’s business.

If I made Jack not guilty, if Lorena liked me and gave me time to be alone with her, that would have been enough.

Lorena will love my cock more than Jack’s.

“Lorena. Do you really believe that Jack is not the culprit?”

“Yes?”

She looked puzzled when I suddenly changed my tone. I looked around once more and asked Lorena again.

“What if I find evidence that Jack isn’t guilty, so if Jack is acquitted?”

“Uh, what… ! Word… Are you?”

Lorena was so flustered that it was difficult for her to finish her words. Could it be that her head is hard because she only worked hard? I made it easy for her to understand.

“My daughter is in charge of the investigation this time.”

“T-daughter?”

Lorena gave me a suspicious look as she looked me up and down. She added, reminding me that my face value is hardly the age to have a daughter like Alice.

“…I got married again. It’s my wife’s daughter. So be friends.”

“…Ah.”

Lorena then nodded her head in understanding. I said.

“As a secret between the two of you, I will help you. Because I will do the hard research for you. You…”

“I-I…”

Lorena looked at me with a worried face. The power in her fist was so strong that if I said something wrong here, she would hit her in the jaw right away. I said raising my little finger.

“Let’s be friends with me.”

“Chi, are you a friend?”

Lorena loosened her grip. I breathed naturally and said.

“Because I got married early, I didn’t have a chance to make friends. You look the same age as me Let’s be friends. Lorena. Will you be friends with me?”

Lorena took one look around her, then she asked me cautiously in a quieter voice.

“Well, that’s really all it takes… ?”

I gave her a grin.

“Of course.”
