Episode 60. Do you intend to run away in death? (5)

Subide clearly realized with his body that one punch can tell more than a hundred words.

He knew that his status as the general butler of a prestigious family, and the age of 70, could not stop Keter’s fist.

“This letter. Are you used to it?”

Seeing the letter Keter gave out, Sousvide nodded.

“I think it was my mother who wrote this letter, but who is it? The letter just blows up! Wouldn’t it have been put on the table of the family head?”

The letter that the head of a prestigious family will see cannot be sent directly. This involves numerous procedures and checks.

Most of all, the owner is not free enough to take care of trivial letters.

“There is a possibility that my mother personally came to the family and delivered the letter, and even if it wasn’t herself, there would be a courier who delivered the letter. tell me.”

“… Even a fool like you must miss your mother’s arms.”

puck!

“My heart aches. You should respect the old man, but you end up attacking the old man… . You broke my heart, you must hurt more.”

Sousvide learned something new in his later years. All senses have become dull due to aging, but it seems that the sense of pain has become more sensitive.

It was obviously being hit with a blunt fist, but the sharp pain I felt was like being driven vertically into a stake.

Keter’s fists stopped, in terrible agony where not even a scream could emanate. The defender spoke quickly.

“I didn’t see it! I tried to find out, but there was no one who received the letter, let alone the person concerned. The letter was originally placed on the table of the family head.”

“Hmm, too.”

What the hell is my mother doing?

After dumping me in the liqueur, he gave me an artifact that allowed me to get out of the liqueur after 18 years had passed.

A series of processes are not something that humans can do. Why on earth did he do such a cumbersome and suspicious thing?

‘If it’s not something a human would do, is it a god? Like the queen of liqueurs. That’s a funny assumption. What the hell are you doing this for? And if my mother is really a god, am I a demigod? It’s not. Even though I’m a bit smart, people are right.’

Keter laughed. I thought that my previous life was very instrumental, but my present life was not easy either.

‘Because the godfather isn’t wrong. It’s a family, after all, they’re just using each other.’

I don’t know for what purpose, but I did it because there was a reason. I don’t know the details, but I felt that way strongly.

‘I’m grateful for giving birth to you, but if you’re going to use me as you please, even a parent can’t treat you like a parent.’

Complex questions bite their tail after tail.

However, I did not think deeply and buried it in my chest. What would I do if I found out about my birth or my mother’s secret? It’s important to eat well and live well.

Keter freed Sousvide’s collar.

Sous-vide closed his eyes tightly, wondering if he was going to hit him again, but nothing happened.

Still, Subide, who had closed his eyes for a long time, was suddenly puzzled. I couldn’t hear footsteps leaving, but there was no sign of presence.

‘Have you gone?’

Subide opened his eyes slightly.

hooked!

Keter, who was right in front of her, stabbed her eyes with her fingers.

“I haven’t gone yet.”

“Keep!”

“I treated you like an angel because you behaved well. Before we go, let me give you one piece of advice. Before you restore the vial and do a fingerprint match, just confess. Don’t bother.”

“Guards! Is anyone there? Guards!”

Sous-vide cried out, but strangely, no one heard the sound and came to visit.

A restaurant where Sephira’s family members gather.

Three people were sitting at the table.

“Your father is late. It’s a big deal.”

Miles muttered, looking at his pocket watch.

Basil always told me the day before if I was late for breakfast. Eat with you guys.

It was the first time Mile knew that Basil would be late without a word that day.

Anise said to Miles.

“Did something happen last night? older brother. Any guesses?”

“I don’t know. Tarragon, I heard you were on night patrol yesterday… Do you know anything?”

Tarragon was both nervous and happy. This was because this was the first time he had been asked a question about a public matter by his brothers.

But, I couldn’t tell.

how can i say That the sous-vide butler poisoned the family head and led Elder Panir into a trap.

Everyone present at the scene swore an oath. Until the family head speaks first, I will take this case to the grave.

“sorry. I don’t know either.”

“I’m sorry… . By the way. Is that rumor true? The absurd rumor that you run on the field because Keter made you do it.”

Tarragon bit his lower lip.

But I had no intention of denying it. He couldn’t lie and say he didn’t get advice and learn from someone better than himself because he was ashamed.

“that… It is true.”

“Is it true? Why did you follow the words of Kether? Did you forget what Hyssop-nii asked you to do?”

“Well, there are some complicated circumstances… … .”

Although Tarragon has gained confidence thanks to Keter, he has not completely escaped from the pressure of his brothers.

“anise. You said you’re going to have a rematch with Keter, so no news. Is your condition still recovering?”

“… I also have some circumstances.”

“There is something strange about both of them. what? is there something i don’t know Why do you think I’m the only one left out?”

It was then that Miles got up from his seat and alternated between tarragon and anise.

The restaurant door opened.

The three people, thinking that the householder had come, corrected their posture, but it was someone else who entered.

“Brothers. This is the message from the head of the household.”

At the appearance of Gasilius, the leader of the Galactic Division, the two were bewildered. Where does the general butler Subide go, and why is he conveying the words of the head of the household?

“I don’t have much appetite today, so eat by yourself. That is all.”

“Sir Gasilius. What happened to the head of the household?”

Miles questioned Gasilius, but he shook his head and refused to answer.

Shortly after Gasilius left, Tarragon and Anise rose from their seats at the same time.

“I think I need to lose some weight.”

“I missed breakfast yesterday, so I will skip breakfast today.”

With the two of them leaving in such a hurry, Mile, who was left alone, was bewildered.

“what? What is going on?”

There was no way that Mile, who was very shaken up, wanted to eat.

“Oddly enough, it all has to do with Keter.”

Both Anise and Tarragon changed after meeting Keter. I was convinced that there must be something with Keter.

Of course, Hyssop told her not to see Keter… … .

“Even Hyssop would have gone to see Keter under these circumstances.”

Miles also stood up.

“I need to see Keter.”

* * *

Basil listened.

The whole story of the poisoning case from beginning to end, everything.

Basil, who thought he fainted after eating poison, actually did not faint. It was a fact that even Keter did not notice.

who could have known The head of a prestigious family is pretending to faint.

As soon as Basil ate the soup, he knew it was poisonous.

After being almost killed by a poisonous mushroom he unknowingly ate during his high-blooded days, he developed a trauma about poison. At that time, Basil deliberately found poison to overcome the trauma and developed resistance, and eventually overcame it.

Only his father, Ricotta, knew this. Everyone would have been blown away if they knew that they developed resistance while eating poison.

That’s why even Sous-Vide, who was closest to him, didn’t know. That basil has superior poison resistance than others.

Pretending to faint like that, Basil watched the whole situation, and eventually found out that it was the work of the sous-vide general butler.

Basil, who was moved to the infirmary, did not wake up after lying in bed for a long time.

It has nothing to do with poison. could stand up But I didn’t want to get up.

Sous-vide’s betrayal that he trusted so much. Even if it was an act for himself, it was clearly a betrayal.

As the family head, you can’t just go over it. should be severely punished If the example was not clear, another traitor could have been born.

Reasonably, he knew what to do, but Basil pondered for a very long time.

Basil, who had slept through the night, was able to get up only after the sun rose.

“Go, head of household!”

The doctor was startled and fell to his knees.

The attendant made a gesture to the doctor to be quiet, and then came out of the bed. Gasilius was waiting outside the door.

“I’m glad you look okay.”

“Thank you for pretending not to know.”

Gasilius realized the truth when he touched the family head’s body. I saw the trembling eyebrows, but I fooled people like I didn’t know.

“The children will be waiting. Will you go and tell me? Eat first.”

“All right.”

Basil sent Gasilius to visit Sousvid.

Sous-Vide, who was crouching in a corner of the prison, knelt down and said as soon as he saw Basil.

“Patriarch, no matter what you hear, it’s not all true.”

“General butler. My eyes are swollen. I thought there were no tears.”

“no. Keter visited me last night and tortured me. That little bastard made me like this.”

Sous-vide took off his top. Purple bruises were left all over the body.

Basil let out a sigh.

“The butler of defense. It’s just you and me here. So feel free to tell me. Did you really intend to dethrone Paneer for me, and not for any other purpose?”

“Why the hell would I do that?”

“Because you care and worry about Sephira as much as I do.”

“… … !”

“I told you a few months ago. The two elders who refuse to communicate and create a faction must be dismissed, and the inside must be firmly united.”

“… You remember.”

“Whose words are you going to listen to? I trusted you to know that it couldn’t be, so I didn’t say anything.”

“… … .”

“It was all my fault.”

Basil grabbed Sous-Vide’s shoulder.

“Because I thought you would understand even if I didn’t tell you, because I thought it would be a burden to say anything! It’s my fault for not telling you what I meant.”

“Go, my lord… . Sin, sorry. I am… I did not dare to believe in the Lord.”

thud! Sous-vide hit his forehead on the floor. Blood dripped from the broken forehead.

Basil wanted to shut his eyes tight and turn away from reality. If not, I wanted to shed tears.

The haggard old man, who was now prostrate in front of him and bruised his forehead, was a man who gave him more attention and love than his father, Ricotta.

I learned etiquette from him, and I learned family history from him. When I was immature, it was the sous-vide general butler who helped me whenever I had an accident.

Once, when Ricotta, the head of household, tried to punish Basil, he blocked it with his body.

Feelings surged when he thought that the teacher who had the greatest influence on Basil’s life was suffering disgrace because of him.

“Wake up. No, wake up. General Butler. It’s all my incompetent fault, not the fault of the elders or the general deacon. I’m trying to lead the incompetent people, so I’m going to have a good time.”

“My lord, how do you show respect to me? Please don’t!”

“Seeing this now, how can I hide my incompetence? How can you not be incompetent when you, who has the noblest personality in Sephira, made you do such an ugly thing?”

“Stop, please stop. Everything I made up is correct. I’ll admit it. I was old and senile. I wanted to be of any help to you. I know very well that it was presumptuous and that it was the wrong way, but I couldn’t bear to watch the family head suffering in a place where others couldn’t see. sorry.”

“… … .”

Basil turned his back.

Even without looking in the mirror, he felt that his face had become unsightly. I didn’t want to show this to defenders.

Sousvide said again, banging his forehead on the floor.

“My lord. Panir and Leganon. The two elders were clearly moving with different intentions. If you just leave it as it is, it was clear that it would definitely become an obstacle to the family head. So I wanted to remove it. That’s all. Family Lord, I will admit my sins and apologize by dying. Do not forgive this senile old man.”

The defender’s back bent.

His head lifted up, and he tried to kill himself by slashing his forehead on the floor.

“Are you thinking of dying and running away!”

Basil’s screams made Sous-vide’s head stop. He lifted his head and looked at Basil.

“Ah, my lord. How can you make that face for me?”

“Didn’t you tell me? It’s my fault for not communicating. However, you can just start over. It means that you can do well from now on.”

“My lord… … .”

“It will be different. So trust me. If you don’t believe me, I won’t stop you from dying.”

“Do I dare to live?”

“Please live for me.”

“… I will.”

Sousvide bowed his head very slowly, then stopped moving. He passed out due to great mental exhaustion.

Basil picked up Sousvide himself and laid him on the bed before leaving the prison.

“Keter, come out.”

Basil said to the empty hallway. Then, Keter sprang out from behind the thin pole.

“As expected, a sincere father cannot lie.”

“Both outside and inside, I only receive your help.”

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s all written down in the ledger.”

“Are you looking for me or the general butler?”

“It was both… Now I am itching to see my father.”

“I’m going to see you, can’t you?”

Basil hoped Keter would not say what he expected.

But ruthlessly, Keter laughed.

“Yes, I will leave Sephira.”
