Chapter 415 – It’s a National Rule for a Silently Dead Villain to Leave a Diary!(2)
Where did that modest appearance from when I first saw it go? Father Street followed Lyubvina to Rokan’s room.
“Well then, I’ll just step back. Because the story before this is not allowed to me.”
“Ah, yes. Great job. It’s late to ask, but is Lord Baru all right?”
“… Yes He was slightly injured, but there was no life-threatening injury, and he said he would be completely healed in a few months without any sequelae.”
When Baru’s story comes up, Lyubbina comes to her senses and nods her head. By the way, Huskarl, who has all kinds of abilities and is in a position to enjoy them, is a wound that needs to be healed for several months? Isn’t that slander?
… No Dwarven society is far from potions, magic, and divine power.
Unless you’re a Jarl of the great estate like Rokhan, it’s probably all about finding intermediate potions.
I took out two bottles of the highest quality potion from my inventory and handed it to Lyubvina, who was about to leave.
“This. It was made by Fei-senpai. Among the top-notch potions, it’s effective, so sprinkle one on the wound and drink the other, it’ll get better soon, so give it to Sir Baru.”
“Go, thank you!”
Lyubbina bowed her head. With her happy heart, she looked down at the back of her head, and her Fay sneaked up and whispered.
“Brother… Are you trying to seduce my maid with the potion I made right in front of me?”
“It’s an outrageous misunderstanding.”
Now, everyone is in an atmosphere of acknowledging Fay, but that doesn’t mean that the long-standing disregard and discrimination will disappear overnight.
In that sense, Baru and Lyubina are one of the few reliable allies. It hurts, but what are you doing to just leave it alone? It’s only right here to save a little grace for later.
“So you deliberately emphasized the name of senior Fei. Not now, but maybe someday it will help? You will never forget the person who helped you when you were sick.”
“Brother… Huh! I’ll see if that’s the case!”
Faye, with her chest wide open and her head slightly raised, patted my shoulder as she snorted.
Somehow disgusted with her attitude of being generous, I flicked her finger lightly on the tip of her nose.
“Hey?! Oh, it hurts… Where did the respect for seniors go, juniors?!”
“An expression of affection. An expression of affection.”
“Um… If you think about it, Iris-sama, who is over 500 years old, feels the same way, so isn’t it wrong… Your junior’s love hurts a bit!”
Faye was wriggling as she grabbed the tip of her nose. If you say that, it’s like I’ve become a dangerous person. She bounced off it as if gently pushing it away.
Iris, who had suddenly mentioned her age, staggered with a shocked expression, as if she were facing a cruel reality, but she thought that standing in front of the door was too much, so she gently stroked her hair to soothe her and opened the door.
Then, what was revealed was a room with the same structure as before. However, the owner of the room had a completely different appearance.
As we saw before, the hair turned black from the root, and the limbs became thick with muscles again.
Her mouth, which had let out a weak breath, was tightly shut, giving off a stubborn impression. Lokhan had a look that seemed to embody the image of a skilled artisan that is commonly thought of.
“… Doesn’t this just seem like you’re getting younger rather than getting better?”
“Thank you. However, originally, dwarves age quickly, but they are a species that does not age beyond a certain point.”
Rokan nodded and answered the self-talk that sprang out without my knowledge. It seems that even though the body has recovered, the calm attitude peculiar to a person facing death remains the same.
I and everyone else were surprised, but Faye, who had been watching Lokhan protect her right beside her, didn’t seem to care and went straight to the point.
“So? I heard you found Mrs. Astrid’s secret. Father. When are you going to show it?”
“You are in a hurry. But it’s true that our relationship isn’t very good for a leisurely chat. Okay. Let me know right away without wasting time. You who solved this case deserve it.”
Still a sullen expression. However, as if feeling a bit regretful, Lokhan, her eyes drooping, pointed to a small notebook on the desk.
“It was hidden inside the pillow. Poison was applied for security purposes, but it was decrypted a long time ago, so you can just read it. I would prefer not to disclose the contents to the outside world as much as possible… I cannot force you.”
“I didn’t even want to talk about it from the beginning. What’s good about gossip about household chores?”
“Housework… Is it. That’s it.”
Raising the corner of his mouth again, albeit slightly, Rokan nodded his head. Faye, the person in charge, didn’t seem to notice.
While everyone was shocked by Faye’s instinctive push and pull, who had lost her shyness due to her rebellious spirit, she sat huddled together.
There is only one notebook, but there are many people, so there is no choice but to see it together.
Faye took a deep breath and opened the first page of her notebook.
***
I didn’t know it from the outside, but when I opened it myself, there were more papers than I thought. It’s probably a space distortion spell.
The content was diary, as expected. It continued sparsely, whether or not it was written every day, but thanks to that, I was able to see it all at once from the day I first got married to the Jarnshad family to the day Fay returned.
And Faye, who had read all of them, sighed as she covered her notebook in a loud voice.
“Isn’t this your father’s fault again?!”
“… That’s why she told me not to go anywhere.”
Rokhan averted his gaze as if he had nothing to say. But my thoughts are a bit different.
“Calm down, Fei-senpai. There may be some fault with Rokan Jarl, but I think the problem is bigger with Astrid, who immediately apostatized for being a little bit wrong.”
“Ugh… If it’s your junior…”
Fei quickly became obedient. Well, she cried out for a moment, but when she thought about it, she must have known that I was not wrong.
The contents of the diary are simple.
I fell in love at first sight from the moment I saw her face for the first time, and I am so happy that I really decided to get married. It’s an arranged marriage, but one day I’ll make Lokhan like me… The first part is full of the same girlish content.
Surprisingly, the reason Astrid took control of the Jarnshad family with her outstanding skills was to help Lokan, who was clumsy outside of production.
However, as time passed and she gave birth to a son with Lokhan, she became frustrated with the relationship that did not improve. Astrid learns of the existence of Laura and Fay.
Of course, he must have come to the conclusion that Rokhan still has feelings for Laura, and she doesn’t like him.
Up to this point she was a bit pitiful but she was still a good woman though she was. Surprisingly, Astrid tried to tell her that if Lokhan was in so much pain, she’d rather call Laura.
She couldn’t possibly get along with Laura and Fay, but… Still, she wanted to ease Lokhan’s guilt.
… But before Astrid could even speak of her, Laura died.
Laura was forever a sore finger to Lokhan, and Fay began to monopolize her Lokhan’s attention.
She’s even jealous of Laura, and she even suspects that Astrid killed her, so she’s going crazy.
However, Astrid at this point was really innocent. Although she found Fay difficult and hated her a little, she still tried to do her duty as the hostess of the Jarn Shard family.
The problem was then
Lokhan, who cared for Fay so much, suddenly began to treat Fay as if he had changed.
The subordinates, who regarded Rokhan as just a leader and an excellent craftsman, did not notice, but… Astrid, who always looked only at her husband, noticed.
The fact that Lokhan was trying to protect her Fae even at the cost of the rest of his life, and that there was nothing that Lokhan would ever like him for the rest of his life.
From here, Astrid began to change.
It’s hard right now, but one day I’m sure… The positive atmosphere of ” is gone, and only her obsession with Lokhan and her resentment towards Fei are growing.
By the time Astrid’s darkness reached its peak. She was visited by a group of suspicious people and offered them an offer she could not refuse.
It is impossible to make Rokhan like Astrid. But it is possible to make her obsess and depend on Astrid.
A sweet offer to help them in return for helping them.
To Astrid, whose heart was half broken, it must have been a story like the sweet rain of a drought. Because if she wasn’t going to be loved anyway, she wanted to own everything else.
… Well, when I saw it with my own eyes as an authority on cult behavior psychology. This must have been ‘worked on’ by the followers of Boiling Silence from beginning to end.
The size of the Jarlshard territory is considerable, and the Jarlman Rokan himself is also an excellent craftsman, so he must have thought it worth destroying it.
After that, things went as expected.
Even though she knew it was suspicious, Astrid eventually accepted their offer and gradually strengthened her position.
Beyond controlling the family, he became Lokhan’s full agent, filling most of the members of his mansion with his own, and overcoming Svid’s un-dwarven shortcomings with his political acumen.
After taking away most of Jarl’s power, Astrid’s next goal is to poison Lokhan.
Yes. Lokhan was not sick, but was chronically intoxicated by a very secret poison.
He could not be detected by any magic, and he must have been a poison that was difficult to cure with halfway divine power.
If it was terrifying, would the steel they collided with cost the life of a craftsman? It must be because it was thought that it would be ineffective if he did not amplify his divine power through such sacrifices.
Poison that does not kill, but damages the body to the extent that it is difficult to do other things. Using this, Astrid got everything in Lokhan.
In fact, it was difficult for Lokhan to lead a daily life, let alone family work, without Astrid.
However, when Rokan secretly brought Fay, Astrid’s sweet dream was shattered.
Astrid’s thoughts, thinking that Faey and Laura might steal Lokhan again, began to run wild. Finally, it comes to a terrible conclusion.
Let’s swallow Rokhan and become one… I mean.
Astrid, who knew that the people who were helping her were cultists, proposed to them first.
I will give all of Jarn Shard to the turbid union, so that he can become one with Rokhan.
The Seething Silence must have been the best news for the followers who have been weakened and lost since my death at my hand.
Converting Astrid and dedicating the territory of Jarnshad, and at the same time selling out my position, which the turbid union so desperately wanted to kill.
This would have been enough to start with the high priest even if he converted to the turbid unity church.
Even so, it seems that everything has become the material for the two-headed giant.
Anyway, the first thing Astrid did after receiving such a turbid baptism of unity was that he took the most valuable thing he had, except for Lokhan.
In other words, it was to offer Rokan and his son, Svid, as a sacrifice to the hazy Hapil.
Bringing monsters and cultists wasn’t enough, so he made a two-headed giant using Svid as a core, and when the war situation was unfavorable, he was promised to swallow Lokhan without fail, and even sacrificed himself to complete the vessel of incarnation…
That is the whole story of this invasion.
Fei, who was looking down at the notebook with a complicated expression, sighed heavily.
“Eh. Still, I think my father’s fault is bigger, junior.”
“Is that so?”
“Huh. It wouldn’t be such a big problem if my father revealed a lot of women like his junior, and he tried to hold on to his arms no matter how many women he had.”
“…”
What do you mean by PayPay? .
