The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 230
Chapter 223 The Country of the Awakened Blind (2)
The remark just now.
That was a completely different issue from the discussions so far.
Contrary to rumors, Count Rondon is not a traitor, and Roman Dmitri may have really settled the debt of the Kingdom of Redford.
That alone is shocking.
In a situation where just accepting the fact that innocent soldiers have been killed takes your breath away, Annabelle Nursery School’s comment crosses the line.
Annabelle.
what kind of character is she
At first, she provided food for children who had lost their homes. At some point, as the number of children cared for increased, people asked if she was running an orphanage.
Thus, the birth of Annabelle Nursery School came about naturally.
Annabelle did not hesitate to be the shade not only for the children, but also for the starving people, even for a moment, when they sought rest.
The Lady of Redford.
People adored Annabelle.
Even the king of a country does not take care of the country’s safety, but her good deeds are the only hope to shine in the darkness.
so that.
I couldn’t believe it.
People murmured with a bewildered expression.
“… The Earl of Londonon is the benefactor of Annabel’s Orphanage?”
“Nonsense. There’s no way someone who was called a traitor sponsored Annabelle Orphanage.”
actually.
The structure of Annabelle Orphanage did not make realistic sense.
At first, it was just about giving food, but as time went by, the good deeds done by the orphanage exceeded the level that ordinary people could afford.
People also had their doubts.
I didn’t bother trying to dig up the truth even though I knew it didn’t make sense in common sense.
Whatever the reason.
It doesn’t change the fact that Annabelle is for people.
No matter how chaotic the world may be, I wanted to believe blindly that such a person existed in Redford.
however.
If the traitor is Annabelle’s supporter.
I couldn’t handle the truths that bit my tail afterwards.
In the meantime, while people were talking about how great Annabelle was, they always added gossip about traitors like Count Rondon ruining the country.
So the riots naturally took place.
It was Jacqueline who raised her voice first, but everyone agreed to take up arms because the opponent was the Earl of Rondon.
Everyone shut up.
That time when I lost my way with a puzzled face.
break through the crowd
A lobe stepped forward.
* * *
Let’s walk the robes.
People groaned.
The face revealed from within the robe was Annabelle, whom they say is the ‘Saint of Redford’.
“… Miss Annabelle. Are those words of Roman Dmitry really true? please say no Please prove here that the Earl of Rondon, whom we accused of being a traitor, never sponsored an orphanage.”
was a citizen.
Annabelle shook her head sadly at the request in a desperate voice.
“Everything Roman Dmitri said is true. So, put down all the weapons you are holding.”
Citizens hesitated.
Even in the testimony of the parties.
They couldn’t readily lay down the weapons that would protect their lives.
“I’m not as great a person as you think. I couldn’t look away from the children who were tired of starvation, so I only shared a little of the food I was eating, but one day, the Count of Rondon came to visit me in person. He said that he had observed my good deeds, and that if I set up an orphanage to take care of people, he would pay the operating expenses every month. That’s the truth about Annabelle Orphanage that you don’t know.”
There was no doubt that she was a good person.
Good deeds must be supported by such character, but the reality is not a matter that can be discussed simply with character.
“Running an orphanage is a real problem. If I didn’t have money to buy food for people. And if I couldn’t solve the livelihood problems of the people who help me in my work. I wouldn’t have been able to devote myself to the nursery school the way you remember me. Like all of you, I was just a person who couldn’t live in reality without working. In fact, I wanted to tell the truth about the accusations against Count Rondon. He sent subsidies to the orphanage every month in the name of helping people, and he did not stop supporting even when he was accused of being a traitor.”
the more you speak
Annabelle cried.
Looking at the bewildered people, he recalled his memories with Count Rondon.
“The title of Saint of Redford is too much for me. If it wasn’t for Count Rondon, I wouldn’t be where I am today, but when asked why he didn’t reveal the truth, he always said that ‘someone’ is more important than ‘someone’. If the. If I had known that you might attack the Count of Rondon, I would have revealed the truth even if the Count had stopped me. Because he shouldn’t be treated like that. Because people don’t know the truth, but he deserves all the things I’ve enjoyed. This is not really this.”
I didn’t want to blame people.
they didn’t know the truth
But even so, Annabelle couldn’t suppress her rebuking voice.
She was just an ordinary person.
People exaggerated her like a great person, but she would never be where she is today if it weren’t for the Earl of Rondon.
The riot is over.
The children ran to the nursery school with bright faces.
The children each showed a sparkling gold coin in their hand and asked Annabelle, who had taken care of them, to accept it, showing a bright smile.
what a warm heart
Annabelle might have genuinely smiled at the children’s hearts if they hadn’t known that the source of the gold coins came from the blood of the Earl of Rondon.
And I heard the truth
The world has collapsed.
After hearing that people were attacking, she went to see the Earl of Rondon within a month.
The Roman Dmitri I met there told me what to do for Count Rondon from now on.
said Annabelle.
“We made a huge mistake. Everyone who didn’t see the truth, and me who didn’t tell the truth even though I knew it. So don’t do anything you’ll regret. Count Rondon, whom you said was a traitor, is a man who cares for the kingdom of Redford more than anyone else, and Roman Dmitri here has come to help at Count Rondon’s request. This is your last chance. Please put down your weapon.”
end with that.
People fell into silence as if enchanted.
* * *
It was Roman Dmitri who broke the silence.
“The day you guys came to the mansion to attack Earl Rondon. I asked the Earl of Rondon this question. why don’t you tell the truth The poverty of the Kingdom of Redford is not the responsibility of the Rondon family, and unlike being called a traitor, why do you do a lot for the kingdom and yet bear the blame?”
that day.
said the Earl of Rondon.
In the era of hatred, in this harsh reality.
In order for Redford’s kingdom not to collapse, it needed someone to accept people’s criticism.
“He knew that telling the truth would lessen the accusations against him. But it didn’t. If the opponent worthy of criticism in the Age of Hatred was not a nobleman, but the King who ruled the Kingdom of Redford. He knew that today’s riots had turned into an uprising that would turn the country upside down.”
I saw Jacqueline.
From the moment Annabelle appeared, Jacqueline couldn’t come to her senses with a pale face.
“Jacqueline. Was this riot purely your intention? It was a secret that only insiders could not know that the gold coins were loaded onto the wagon to solve the problem with the Golden Bank, but you were waiting for the wagon knowing exactly where it was moving. that info. who told you And is the person who told you the information still here?”
“… What!”
Jacqueline opened her eyes.
Come to think of it.
A strange thing existed.
I just complained like any other day, but the owner of the pub raised the situation with remarks that incited a riot as if he had waited.
It was the same when I visited the mansion of the Earl of Rondon.
Wasn’t Jacqueline nervous at the hostile remarks against Roman Dmitri, fearing that the situation would escalate?
And now.
As Roman Dmitry said, the owner of the bar was nowhere to be seen.
From the moment he robbed the gold coin, he who told the carriage’s route disappeared like a mirage.
“Perhaps the being who told me the information has already disappeared. You guys definitely had a chance to see the truth. The fact that the source of the information was strange, and the fact that ordinary people who could not use auras defeated the aura swordsmen escorting the wagon. If you think about it for a bit, you can see that it is strange. The meaning of the set of circumstances is clear. There were instigators leading the chaos of Redford, and you have been crossed a river of no return by them. Even though the Earl of Rondon was a person who cared for the country more than anyone else. At one stroke of your choice, innocent soldiers died and the Earl of Rondon bled.”
The truth was harsh.
The purpose of 100,000 gold.
Annabelle.
And even the fact that they were instigated.
People couldn’t come to their senses.
It turned out that the joy of robbing the gold coins was a stupid decision that plunged the Kingdom of Redford into abyss.
said Roman Dmitry.
“I will ask you one last time. Is Jacqueline truly a person who can be called the hero of Redford?”
* * *
Is this what it feels like to stop an accident?
People are speechless.
just a few minutes ago.
they were angry
It was right to attack Count Rondon, and they joined forces to defeat Roman Dmitri, who was persecuting Redford’s hero.
People flocked to the square.
People who had a hard day every day due to starvation showed shining eyes with murderous intent to keep the gold coins in their hands from being taken away.
however.
The truth was different.
Roman Dmitry became Count Rondon.
The fact that they have been doing things that are different from what they think has caused people to lose their strength.
Caan.
Clink.
dropped the weapon
hostility was lost.
He could no longer raise a weapon or dare to face Roman Dmitri.
My face turned red.
Looking back at what they did, they realized how foolish they were.
at its center.
Jacqueline was there.
He, who led a series of situations, seemed to lose his mind at the reality that he could not handle.
‘… that I was instigated What the hell did he do?’
Words of Roman Dmitry.
stuck in the chest
That’s right.
I had a chance to see the truth.
People accused the Earl of Rondon of being a traitor, but whenever something happened, he brought in outside personnel as much as possible.
At first, the reaction was hostile.
I thought they were exploiting labor force at a cheap price, but in terms of their attitude and treatment to external workers, they showed a rather undeserved care.
at that time.
When asked by Jacqueline what life was like here, a servant who had worked for the Rondons for a long time said:
“To be honest, I am very happy with my life at the Rondon family. I know you will be beaten by people for saying this, but the Earl of Rondon isn’t as bad as people say. He cares for and treats his servants more than anyone else, and we respect him. So don’t hate too much. No matter how the world portrays Count Rondon, we know that he was never like that.”
It was an absurd word.
Everyone in the world was accusing her of being a traitor, but only the servant of the Rondon family was saying something different.
Perhaps that is the price of comfort.
Since there is no need to starve in the shadow of Rondon, he thought that no matter how much Count Rondon was a traitor, he could only be grateful as a servant.
saw the truth
heard the truth
experienced the truth.
There were beings who knew the truth even if they did not tell the truth, but Jacqueline, unlike them, turned away from the truth.
the day I attended the party.
He went to the pub even after bringing food to feed his wife and complained.
Maybe it was an inferiority complex for something I didn’t enjoy.
That moment.
“… iced coffee.”
suddenly.
He looked down at his hands.
The red traces that I thought I was proud of until just now got stuck in my eyes and shattered the surroundings.
himself.
As Roman Dmitry said, I made an irreparable mistake.
