The Regressor and the Blind Saint

Doban stared blankly at the table top.

‘Platinum… .’

Platinum Rosario. Dovan knew very well what this meant.

“… He must have been an apostle of the Holy Kingdom.”

His gaze turned to Renee and Vera.

Dovan knew. That there is only one young girl among the apostles of the kingdom.

“No, he wasn’t just an apostle, I didn’t even know that the saint had come.”

A smirk came out of his mouth with a ‘chin’.

what is this The thought came to me because the identity of the customer, who I thought was just unusual, was so surprising and unexpected.

As is common with those who encountered sudden situations, Doban could not say anything and waited for Renee’s answer with a blank expression on his face.

“I’m sorry. It’s something that shouldn’t be said rudely… .”

“I have nothing to apologize for. If it is a procession of saints, it is natural to hide it.”

Doban shook his head to answer that question, then changed his posture and sat down and bowed his head.

It didn’t matter that René was blind or that she couldn’t receive this greeting.

“See the lady. Please understand that I cannot get down on my knees because I am not feeling well.”

“Oh, no! Even if you don’t do that… .”

“Of course it is. I am not a rogue who knows who put freedom in my hands.”

Annoyance appeared on Renee’s face.

“It’s not something I did… .”

“Considering the meaning of the name of a saint, it is not impossible to receive it. If you feel uncomfortable, consider it as a substitute for giving thanks to the Holy Spirit, and pass it on to the Holy Father later.”

Dovan’s head was raised.

Dovan drooled for a moment and thought about his thoughts when he said, ‘Is there anything I can do to help you?’

can i say this Is it right to talk about your situation and ask for help?

Dovan’s eyes continued to think and turned to Aisha.

It was clear that he had had an accident or trespassing on his face with a stiff, frightened face. Maybe it’s because he’s afraid of losing his soul.

Dovan looked at Aisha and smiled weakly, then opened her mouth.

“Aisha, can you prepare a car for the customer?”

“Yes!”

Aisha ran out of the room.

Doban made up his mind as he saw Aisha leaving the door with a ‘thump’ sound.

‘… When a helping hand comes, it is right to grab it.’

If I were the only one suffering from this, I would have refused the saint’s help, but Aisha is with me. Dovan didn’t want the little boy to go through the pain of loss twice.

“… Aisha sent it out, not something nice to hear. Thank you for waiting.”

“then… .”

“If you can help, I’d be happy to accept it. I don’t have much, but… .”

“no. It’s not something I’m looking for in return.”

Renee smiled shyly at Doban’s words and waved his hand, and then continued with that.

That was the main point.

“So, I heard that the army and other nobles are making Doban-san in trouble. May I know why?”

“Um, what should I say… .”

Dovan organized his situation in his head at Renee’s words, and then spit out a question.

“Just in case, do you know why the Kingdom Union was formed now?”

“Ah yes. I understand why you want to keep the balance between the forces so that there is no one like Haman again.”

“Right. On the surface, it is.”

A sad expression appeared on Doban’s face.

“Well, I hope you know this too. They are arguing with each other after taking the structure of union like that.”

Renee trembled at Doban’s words and then nodded.

The conflict between the beasts was a type that Renee knew very well.

how do you not know When he first headed for the Holy Kingdom, the Union was involved among those who were aiming for him.

that they sought themselves to end that quarrel.

In the end, he was unable to reach him due to internal noise, but René knew well enough what they were trying to achieve as they took him.

Dovan looked at Renee who made his expression blurry, and continued his explanation.

“These five kingdoms want one thing. Unification achieved by their own hands. The title of empire that is earned through it.”

Words with deep hate. Renee felt it and nodded.

“So the war lasted 50 years… .”

“It’s not over. Because none of them are willing to yield, and none of them are justified.”

Renee knew what those words meant.

This is because there was a content about the conflict between the beauties in the continental situation that I learned while receiving education.

“… There is no legitimacy.”

“right. The leaders of their kingdom have no legitimacy. Before Haman devoured the imperial family, all enemies of the original imperial family that ruled there died and fell apart, so there is no justification for claiming the empire.”

It wasn’t a simple matter.

Claiming an empire without any legitimacy in a beautician society was absolutely unacceptable to try to unify it by force.

From https://readwn.com

One reason is that King Haman devoured the empire in such a way.

Unification through force is a repeat of what Haman did just 60 years ago, when he invaded the imperial castle alone and slaughtered all the blood of the imperial family and sat on the throne. was doing with

Renee interwoven what he knew with Doban’s words, and then uttered those words.

“Is that the reason Doban is in trouble?”

The words spoken because the causal relationship between Doban’s troubles and the situation of the Union was not understood.

At that, Doban pursed his lips for a moment, vomiting hesitation, and then nodded his head.

What followed were words of astonishment to Renee and Vera.

“… exactly. I am the last survivor of the former imperial family of the living empire.”

*

The backyard of the blacksmith.

Renee sat blankly in the chair, recalling the words she had heard before, and said those words.

“I never imagined it. I hope Dovan… .”

He must have been the last survivor of the destroyed imperial family.

Vera nodded, looking at Renee, who couldn’t keep up with his words and looked dazed.

“It really is. This is something I could never have imagined.”

Who would have known that the blood of the Empire was still there?

No matter how many times Vera retraced his life, this was unfathomable.

‘The confederation of the kingdoms of the past life was not united in the end.’

Until the moment when he was destroyed by the demon lord who issued it six years later, no such thing as the return of the blood of the empire was heard, so it is natural.

Vera’s gaze turned into the forge.

Kaang-! Kaang-!

Suddenly, Doban starts working, and the sound of iron is heard.

Vera heard it and recalled Doban’s last words.

– When Haman invaded the Imperial Castle, I was the only child who was able to escape. So I lived ignorantly on the edge of the empire, and only after I became an adult did I find out that I was an imperial grandson.

-I don’t want to achieve the unification they want. I don’t want to get involved in making another Haman. Even if I take the side of one of them and the war is over, I can’t believe there will be peace there.

-I just live as a blacksmith and die leaving behind a masterpiece. Their tyranny is getting worse day by day, so there must be no way for me to get rid of them.

– I won’t ask for much. Just one, can you hand them over until I finish the master piece? After I’ve done that, I want to go far away and live quietly with Aisha.

It was a word filled with bitterness, and it felt somewhat desolate.

Vera expanded his thinking and began to weave Doban’s affairs with the events of his previous life.

‘The master piece is complete.’

However, Doban’s wish will not come true. He will eventually die.

‘Aisha goes to the battlefield with a magic sword.’

As Aisha headed to the battlefield, she was vomiting a grudge against the black sword in her hand, so it must be.

I don’t know what kind of choice Renee and the classmate made at the time they didn’t go here in their previous lives, but it was clear that the result would not have been very good.

There was a ripple in Vera’s heart.

‘What should I do?’

All they know is the outcome that happened in the end, and a process is needed to make them deviate from the outcome, but the process part was too poor.

What can be called a hint is that the master piece’s nature was ‘grudge’.

‘The quality of a master piece is determined by the karma that is engraved in the manufacturing process.’

A case of engraving ‘grievance’ on that sword.

I had to figure it out.

Vera turned his head to the sight of the approach, as he thought of any reason why Dovan would hold a grudge against someone.

Little Inyoung sticking her head out from behind a tree.

‘… Aisha Dragnov.’

Vera’s eyes narrowed.

‘If Doban holds a grudge against someone.’

It must have been something related to that frisky little boy.

Aisha slowly approached Renee and Vera with a tense expression on her face.

‘Sorry, I’m sorry!’

I had to get down on my knees and pray. If he pretended not to know, the people of that country might harm Master.

… That’s what Aisha was thinking.

Actually, no one cared about Aisha’s words and actions, but isn’t that the child’s concern? Even a slight stab will cause an anxious mind to spring up and twist your whole body.

Like that, Aisha, who was moving through the trees for a long time, approached Vera and the moment her eyes met, she said, ‘Tickle!’ shook his body.

“Come if you have something to say.”

Vera’s words. Tension began to grow again in Aisha.

In Aisha’s ears, those words were ‘if you don’t want to die, come and get down on your knees.’

Because Vera’s eyes were too dark.

Aisha swallowed her saliva at Vera’s words and trembled as she approached Renee.

Rene’s mouth opened right after that.

“Aisha?”

“eww… yes?”

Aisha realized that she was about to say something unintentionally and looked at Renee in a cold sweat.

The ears were folded back and the tail was bulging and pointing downwards.

In a situation full of tension, Renee asked with a smile.

“What’s happen?”

It was a kind word, but Aisha knew it.

That this broken-hearted saint might change her complexion and change her face in a flash.

Aisha didn’t hesitate.

For the master, and for himself.

Aisha closed her eyes tightly and said, ‘Boom!’ Kneel on the floor to make a sound, lean your upper body forward, and shout.

“mi… I’m so sorry!!!”

It was a great bowing posture, as if drawn in a picture.

“Uh, huh?!”

Even as Renee’s embarrassed words came out, Aisha’s mortal sin of plaster continued.

“sorry!!! I’m going to cancel the fact that I’m a religious person!!!”

A cry was added to the voice.

Aisha shed tears like chicken poop, thinking about the words of apology she would do again.

“Uh, uh… !”

The thought of what to say briefly came to mind, and then Aisha recalled the request Renee had done the other day and shouted again.

“I will keep it a secret for the rest of my life!!! The wind is bad… .”

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!”

Renee had a seizure.

What I did without my knowledge at the words of Aisha, who digs up her black history without warning.

A groan escaped from Aisha’s mouth. The hair all over his body was protruding.

“Hey profit?!”

Vera, who was watching the scene from right next to him, closed his eyes tightly and ignored Renee’s ugliness.

‘I didn’t see anything.’ I was in the middle of thinking about it.
