I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 36. It’s for Sephira (2)

Keter’s guess was correct.

The Galactic Knights of the Archives support Leganon.

his character and beliefs. and… … .

‘Even the plan.’

Captain Gant, who leads the 4th Squad of the Galactic Division, spoke with concern as a close aide to Leganon.

“Will the head of the household be shaken by Keter’s disappearance? Catherine is a clear candidate for the Big Dipper, so I’m sure she’ll be furious. One Keter has only been in the family for two days. Since there was no exchange, I wonder if there will be less sadness.”

Leganon nodded.

“Basil makes a clear distinction between public and private life. Even so, he forgave Keter for the accident and handed him over to the mission. It’s a more lenient treatment than a real son. If Keter, whom I cherish so much, goes missing, I will try to find it by unleashing the Galactic Knights.”

“But you won’t find it. Keter has gone where no one can find it.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t let Catherine go first, but Keter is just a bummer, and I shouldn’t have let her get into our crisis.”

“yes. They didn’t know how scary the aristocratic society was and ran amok. He is not a child here.”

“In a way, Keter helped us. Coincidentally, the Vident family has requested to deal with Keter. We can ask for more too.”

The spearman, Vident, tries to bring Sephira out of her position in the prestigious family and take her place.

In response, Leganon made a secret pact with the Vident family. I will make the Sephira family give up the name of ‘prestige’ on their own. He also said that he would recommend the Vident family as the candidate for the next prestigious family.

Instead, the condition was set not to threaten the survival of the Sephira family.

The Vident family was a family with enough power and political power.

“From Vident’s point of view, you’ll know that we did the favor. However, will the beastman under the elder’s command have the power to subdue the demon shooter… I’m not sure.”

Gant mentioned an unexpected name.

beast tribe.

They are a rarer race than elves and dwarves. It was a surprising fact that such a race was hiding in the shadow of Sephira.

The Lillian Kingdom is extremely beta-friendly to the different races. Even the Dwarves and Elves, who are very similar to humans, do not have a good perception, but the Beasts treat them as monsters.

Even the prisoner currently hiding in the shadow of Leganon was born in the ‘Birang (飛狼) tribe’. The Birang tribe was one of the seven beast tribes that were treated the worst among the beast tribes, that is, the seven evil tribes that tried to assassinate the emperor in the past.

If you capture the Seven Evils alive and sell them to the Empire, you will receive 1 million gold no matter how badly you do, 100,000 gold if you take only the body, and 10,000 gold just by reporting the whereabouts.

It was an astronomical amount. For the people of this world, the Seven Evils were literally a stepping stone to a life reversal.

But why is Sephira protecting the Birang people? I don’t even know basil. That the Seven Evils are openly hiding in their territory.

All of this was Leganon’s dogma.

He accidentally found a survivor of the Birang tribe and helped him. So that they can hide and live.

Currently, only Leganon and the 4th Squad of the Galactic Division know about the existence of the Virangs.

However, Gant only knew about the existence of the Birang people, but he did not know their strength because he had not actually met them.

On the other hand, he knew the power of the magic bullet shooter. It’s because I’ve seen the owner Basil use it.

Basil, who became the archer of magic bullets, is truly invincible. A superman that no one can beat. No, it seemed like a divine existence that surpassed that.

Of course, since the user is Keter, the power will be greatly reduced, but isn’t it still a magic bullet shooter?

Regarding Gant’s concern, Leganon said with a subtle smile.

“No need to worry. I have seen the power they have. It doesn’t matter if Keter becomes the magic bullet’s shooter.”

“Yes, I believe you. It must be true that the elder, and no one else, is convinced.”

“Thank you. Without you, it would have been difficult to carry out this plan.”

“no. I was rather honored. Didn’t you first tell me your plan to save Sephira? When I think of that time, I still want to shed tears.”

“Save your tears. We still have a bigger ordeal left.”

Gant suddenly got down on one knee and said seriously.

“I was hesitant at the time, but now I will say it with certainty. The present head of household is wrong. You’re putting everyone at risk to save everyone. All of the 4th Squad of the Galactic Division under his command, including myself, fully agree with the elder’s opinion. You have to give up something to get something.”

Seeing Gant’s determination, Leganon also stood up and put a hand on his shoulder.

“Gantt… . I will prove you not wrong. Trust me and follow me.”

“yes! I’ll follow you. To me, Elder Leganon is the true head of Sephira.”

It was treason.

Chivalry is also human, so you can like or dislike someone, but you must not betray the family head, the reason for their existence.

If you don’t like it, you should give advice at the risk of being exiled, and you should believe and follow orders even if you don’t understand them. But now, Gant said that the family was wrong, and declared that he would support Elder Leganon.

Not even him alone, but the entire 4th squad of 10 people.

Leganon suddenly remembered Keter’s words.

He said that he betrayed to avenge his daughter.

Is his action now an act of betraying Sephira?

To this, Leganon was able to answer with certainty.

No.

‘Basil’s neutral response will only bring ruin to Sephira.’

I had already strongly advised not to remain neutral, but Basil did not accept it.

However, Leganon, who could not allow the family to collapse, began to take personal action. It was to save the Sephira family.

If you look at the act itself, you can call it a traitor. Because you are acting against the will of the family head.

‘If that’s betrayal, I don’t mind being called a traitor.’

Olive always said. Since he loves the Sephira family, he wants his father to cherish the Sephira family too.

Leganon wanted to keep his promise to his daughter, even if he went down in history as a traitor. So, I wanted to say this to Keter.

‘I’m not betraying Sephira for revenge, I’m betraying for Sephira’s sake.’

He said what he couldn’t bear to say to Keter, but spoke to Gant in front of him instead.

“All of this is for Sephira.”

* * *

“Your brother is here.”

Upon Keter’s return, the two people who had been waiting impatiently jumped up from their seats.

“What happened? Why did Elder Leganon call you?”

“young master. You’re not disrespecting Elder Leganon, are you?”

Keter shrugged.

“You threatened me? If I don’t leave the family, I’ll die. So, ‘You traitor! I will definitely reveal your true intentions with the sword!’

It was Keter who answered both questions at the same time.

Keter had no reason to hide her relationship with Leganon. Rather, it was more stupid to pretend that nothing had happened and then say ‘he did that!’ after the incident happened.

‘Leganon, the inspiration seems quite confident.’

Leganon’s coming out was an impossible act without conviction and conviction. Leganon wouldn’t even think I’d keep my mouth shut.

I told Luke and Zach just now, look at this. He is looking at me with an expression of complete disbelief.

Luke said with a sigh.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I’m glad you came back safely.”

It was Luke who didn’t believe Keter’s words.

On the other hand, Zach muttered with a rather serious expression.

“Isn’t it true that you said you were a traitor?”

“father. Otherwise, Keter could not have returned safely. It must be a joke.”

“I hope so… . No matter how kind Elder Leganon is, isn’t the Galactic Division always by his side?”

At the mention of the Galactic Division, Keter asked what he was curious about.

“Speaking of which, how many Galactic Knights are there in total?”

Luke answered.

“There are six squads of ten people. Sir Gant, who came to pick you up earlier, is the 4th squad leader.”

“Oh yeah? Then at least ten of the Galactic Knights are on Elder Leganon’s side.”

“Since Squad 4 is in charge of security for the archives… I’m sure you’re on good terms with Elder Leganon.”

For Leganon to be a betrayal, it was unimaginable to Luke. There is no hint of that at all.

Luke was quick to speak before Keter spoke out again.

“Once you have returned safely, you should prepare for the mission. I’ll tell you from now on, so listen carefully.”

“huh. Get ready.”

When Keter said as if he would leave as soon as he arrived, Luke grabbed his arm.

“Where are you going after you just came? You should prepare with me. You are also a member of Sephira. There will come a day when you will be on a solo mission. You need to know how to prepare. father. I’ll go to the supply warehouse with Keter.”

“Ugh. Be careful.”

“yes? What.”

“… Bocchan is a bit mischievous.”

“Oh, so did all my squadmates. are you okay.”

Luke didn’t want to upset his father.

Even so, he has a low reputation within the family. Even though he was a knight, he had never been active properly.

As Keter said, they are not related by blood, but to Luke, Zach is more than a father. The current Luke was virtually stripped of his knightly qualifications.

Even though he is a knight, he cannot fight, and if he does not play the role of a partner properly, he is no different from an insectivore. It was better to leave the family.

Keter said to Zach, unaware of how cornered Luke was.

“Inspired. Items confiscated when I entered here. Can I use it when I go out on a mission?”

“Ah, yes. It is possible.”

Kether did not come to Sephira empty-handed. I brought some equipment that was used in liqueur. However, most of them were left during the inspection process.

“Bring me that.”

“All right.”

“No, wait a minute. Me and Keter will also go there. You need to know how to find it.”

Luke stepped in, but Zach stopped him.

“no. I should have brought it before the young master spoke. This is my business, don’t mind it.”

After Zach left the room first, Keter pointed to the bathroom with his thumb and said,

“I’m coming to see some errands.”

“wait for a sec. i’m twenty one you?”

“I’m definitely one year older than you.”

“What is that… … .”

Before Luke could be dumbfounded, Keter went into the bathroom.

If Zach had been by his side, he would have shook his head. As an experienced person who has already been subjected to the ‘toilet’ tactic once.

Left alone, Luke was organizing things in his head to tell Keter.

10 minutes passed like that.

Luke murmured as he looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

“Do you see anything big? Well, since I’ve met Elder Leganon, I might be able to relax. I almost collapsed when I first saw Elder Paneer.”

Luke, needlessly understanding, thought Keter might be late.

20 minutes passed like that. The door finally opened.

Not the bathroom door, but the visit.

Zach, who had brought a wooden box with both hands full, said while sticking his head out.

“Luke, you haven’t gone yet.”

“Oh, Keter said he was going to the bathroom. I’m a little late. Please come here.”

Luke, who received the box from Zach, was startled.

“What makes it so heavy?”

“I thought I was losing my back too.”

thud!

The box must contain only Keter’s items.

Besides, the box size is not that big.

“This weight is equivalent to an iron ingot. Can I open it?”

“I have to open it to clean it up anyway.”

Zach opened the door of the box himself.

profit.

What came out of it really didn’t matter. Not much.

A pair of daggers and a bracelet –

And only a belt and small pockets.

“Keter seems to be using a dagger.”

Luke, who casually grabbed the dagger, was startled.

“Isn’t it very heavy?”

It was because the dagger was really filthy heavy.

Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t lift it because he was a knight, Luke, but it was strange that the dagger was so heavy.

“Heavy? Where shall I see you?”

Luke warned Zach as he tried to pick up the other pair of daggers.

“Be careful, father. It may be difficult for ordinary people to hold with one hand… uh?”

Luke let out a dazed noise as Zach lifted the dagger so easily. Zach was equally bewildered.

“Is it heavy? Rather, it is so light that it feels like you have nothing in your hand.”

“yes? Are you saying it’s light? Oh, it’s really light.”

“As you said, this is really heavy. They look the same, only the weight is different.”

“Why on earth are you using this weapon? What about the rest?”

“The bracelet looks normal. The pocket… … Oops, strangely it doesn’t open. It doesn’t even have a lock.”

The bracelet was smooth and of average weight. I wonder what was in the pocket, but it didn’t open.

Luke shook his head as it seemed like it would break even if he could open it with force.

“I’ll have to ask Keter. Because you’re a partner, you should know these things.”

“Ugh. Did you say you went to the bathroom?”

“yes. It’s a bit rude, but it can’t be helped if time has passed like this. I have no choice but to urge you to come out quickly.”

“Haa, you got hit again.”

“yes? What?”

“Knock on the door.”

Why is your father like that? Luke put aside his doubts and knocked on the bathroom door and called for Keter.

“I’m sorry, Keter, but are you still far away? How much longer do we have to wait?”

However, there is no news from inside the bathroom.

Luke knocked on the door even harder this time. The size of the bathroom is big, so if you’re in the bath, you might not hear it.

“Keter!”

I turned the handle to see if the door was open, but it was locked from the inside.

Zach, who was watching from behind, handed over the key and said.

“Open it.”

“yes? that’s kinda… … .”

“Okay. Because there will be no one.”

“Ahahahaha, it can’t be.”

Even so, Luke took the key and unlocked the door. There was no one in the open bathroom, as Zach said.

Instead, the window was wide open.

“… … .”

There was nowhere else to hide in the bathroom, so Luke silently approached the window and poked his face out to look around.

Keter was nowhere to be seen.

“This is the third floor… … .”

It was Luke who spoke lines he had heard many times.

“Are you going to come back anyway?”

But Kether did not appear when the sun went down.

Luke made a fuss about Keter disappearing and saying he needed to find it right away, but Zach shook his head.

“You will appear.”

“but… … .”

“Sleep for now. If you’re not back by tomorrow morning, let’s talk about it then.”

“I knew.”

and the next morning.

Keter was found breathing on her couch.
