The Tyrant Won’t Let Me Go - Chapter 40

“Hey, whaㅡ, what is this…?”

 

The silver-haired woman in black robe muttered in a trembling voice.

 

Her face distorted as she glanced at the blade of the sword pointing at her with a gasping and red face.

 

“The person in front of you, she’s not someone you can touch carelessly.”

 

Cedric, who was staring still at me, approached and wrapped one arm around my shoulder.

 

His voice was as cold as ice and unwavering.

 

Despite his eyes red as the color of blood, I could see a blue flame burning quietly over those cold eyes.

 

Cedric’s anger was of a completely different kind towards the silver-haired woman in front of him.

 

“Don’t touch her however you want.”

 

Anger as cold as a winter wind and as sharp as a frozen awl.

 

Cedric’s anger spewing such words was literally like a sharp blade.

 

Because the person who caused this kind of wrath never ended well.

 

He was a person who didn’t get angry at things that would normally have caused him to, but those who accidentally offended him were sure to receive the karma.

 

Cedric, who glared at the silver-haired woman coldly, nodded and gave an order.

 

“Take her.”

 

“Leave me alone! That ignorant thing! That ungrateful child attacked me first!”

 

Two of the escorts lowered their swords and grabbed the woman’s arm, one by one.

 

There’s no way that a small woman alone can resist the two men who have received professional training.

 

Nevertheless, the woman continued to run rampant and tried to escape from the escorts.

 

“Can’t you see this blood? She attacked me first!”

 

Looking at the face of the woman who was screaming with a contorted face made me feel sick.

 

Again, it’s my fault.

 

She said it was me who wielded the knife in excitement first.

 

“Shut up. It’s self-defense. Everyone here saw you wielding a knife at the commander.”

 

Sera clenched her teeth and grudgingly pushed the sword deeper towards the woman.

 

Still, the woman didn’t listen to Sera, and evilly spoke only what she had to say.

 

“I am her mother! Why are you meddling when I’m meeting my daughter?”

 

“What, mother…?”

 

The escorts holding the woman paused for a moment.

 

with eyes full of murder, frowned.

Cedric, who was still glaring at the woman with murderous gaze, frowned.

 

“It’s funny and I’m sitting down like this. Since when on earth a mother can’t even meet her daughterㅡ”

 

“That’s enough. Take her away.” Ciel beckoned to the escorts who were a little hesitant.

 

“It’s okay. Just drag her away.”

 

“What?”

 

The woman asked back dumbfounded.

 

‘It’s not like she’s on my side, that’s ridiculous.’

 

A small spark erupted from the tip of my sword, which I still hadn’t let go of.

 

Ciel couldn’t control it well…

 

The emotions I had been holding back kept leaking out.

 

“Like a devil! How can you do this to your mother?”

 

“What? Mother? You sold your child to an orphanage for only five thousand kertas.” Ciel snorted and walked towards her.

 

“Don’t say anything strange. I have no parents.”

 

“Hah! I had a stomach ache for 10 months, and gave birth and raised you. Are you going to treat your living mother as nothing?”

 

(N: The raw says it’s ten months lol.)

 

“I can’t believe it, you raised me? Really?”

 

Then I smiled and looked into her dark eyes.

 

“I grew up well on my own.” ᶜᶦᵉˡ

 

“You…!”

 

She, whose face turned red, tried to jump at me, but it was useless because of the escorts holding her arms.

 

“I grew up very well on my own, but I guess you’re upset because you can’t.”

 

My voice didn’t tremble at all.

 

My expression probably looks surprisingly calm.

 

No one will find any trace of anger in me.

 

Except for the right hand holding the dagger, which was greatly trembling.

 

Unlike that woman, who’s struggling with eyes flashing with anger.

 

Ciel approached her and whispered.

 

“But while you sold me for that tiny bit of money out of love, I was in so much pain.”

 

That woman will never know.

 

The emotions I felt.

 

“But I overcame the pain alone. That’s why I’m here right now to where I am.”

 

I’m fine now.

 

It has been a long time since I grew numb to the fact that I was an orphan.

 

But that doesn’t mean my pain has disappeared.

 

So,

 

“I hope you’re in pain this time. As much as I’ve been through.”

 

I took a step back as I spoke softly.

 

“Attempted murder in broad daylight. There are witnesses as evidence.” ᶜᶦᵉˡ

 

Then I glanced at the woman’s knife that had fallen to the floor and spoke.

 

“On top of that, insulting and threatening the head of the imperial knight is not a good crime to commit. You’ll have to rot in prison for at least 20 years.” ᶜᶦᵉˡ

 

“What…”

 

Ignoring the woman who stopped moving, I looked up at Cedric.

 

“Right?” ᶜᶦᵉˡ

 

Red glaring eyes captured my reflection.

 

The corner of Cedric’s lips, which had never moved, went up.

 

“No.”

 

He replied with a gruesome smile.

 

“That’s not enough.”

 

Cedric added, taking off his hat, looking down at the woman.

 

When he took off his hat, his red eyes received light and looked especially redder.

 

The moment she saw those deep red eyes, the woman’s face hardened for an instant.

 

“What? What’s wrong with him?”

 

“What are you doing? Without dragging her out quickly?”

 

At Cedric’s words, the escorts began walking carrying the silver-haired woman whose face was gradually turning white.

 

“Come on, wait a minute, let me tell youㅡ”

 

But it was already too late.

 

Cedric had already turned his back on her.

 

Ignoring her words neatly, he carefully held my hand and bowed his head.

 

“You said you wanted her to be in pain, didn’t you?”

 

I’ve learned not to want someone to get sick or be hurt.

 

Yes, I learned that it was selfish to wish for that. However…

 

[Hey, what are you thinking about?]

 

Then I heard Caliberne’s voice.

 

[Just be honest. It’s okay]

 

A voice that seems indifferent but contains warmth at the same time said.

 

[You don’t have to forgive that woman. You’re a knight, not a saint or an angel.]

 

‘…That’s.’

 

[It’s natural for you to feel that way!]

 

Caliberne spoke as if exuding in a voice mixed with sighs.

 

[You are not selfish.]

 

Only then did something that weighed on my mind feel a little lighter.

 

‘I see.’

 

As I raised my head, and saw his bright red eyes waiting for my answer.

 

I nodded, looking at the passionate eyes that never let go of me and will never miss a single moment.

 

“Okay.”

 

Cedric replied with a light smile.

 

Now that woman will not escape her punishment by any means.

 

In addition to paying for the damage you have done to me, she’ll also receive karma for the evil you have done all your life.

 

This was the most revenge I could ever do.

 

“I promise you on the sign of the oath.”

 

Cedric said as he kissed the green thorny pattern remaining on my left ring finger.

 

“Your wish will surely come true.”

 

The red eyes staring at the pattern gave off an eerie light.

 

Does a beast look like this in front of the one who touched the most precious to him?

 

“Wait, listen to me! You’re all being deceived by that snob!”

 

Cedric frowned at the woman’s cry.

 

‘She’s not gone yet, it seems like it’s been a while since she was taken away.’ ᶜᵉᵈʳᶦᶜ

 

People exert tremendous power in emergency situations. Furthermore, the woman stood in front of the carriage against the escorts with her small body.

I even wondered how such a powerful force came out of that soft body.

 

“You don’t know her secret, do you?”

 

Of course I don’t know.

 

‘What do you mean a secret about me that I don’t even know? There can’t be such a thing.’ ᶜᶦᵉˡ

 

I don’t know why she tried to threaten me with such nonsense.

 

“She’s nothing but a traitor.”

 

The woman screamed and cried out, but nobody listened.

 

“Urgh! Ahh!”

 

It was because Cedric, who was annoyed, activated a spell and gagged the woman.

 

He raised his right hand with a very annoyed expression, he said in a cold voice.

 

“It’s an Emperor’s order.”

 

Red eyes filled with contempt turned to the writhing woman.

 

“After the interrogation, you won’t be able to use your tongue.”

 

At Cedric’s words, the woman resisted more strongly and clenched her mouth.

 

However, with her gagged mouth, her pronunciation was inaccurate, making it difficult to understand what she was saying.

 

“Don’t let that tongue hurt anyone anymore.”

 

“Yes, I see.”

 

At that time, a servant who was watching the situation around the escort knights asked.

 

“Then, should I continue to gag her after the interrogation?”

 

“No, I won’t let her speak forever.” Cedric said, looking down at the struggling woman.

 

“It would be better to pull out that tongue.”

 

The woman’s face turned pale at the cold words of Cedric.
