Duke, Please Repent! chapter 279

51. Infiltration with the Duke (10)

In the Kingdom of Prune, the status of wizards was elevated as much as the tower was located.

Although it is said that magic tower was the beginning that magicians gathered to discuss magic purely, they are a group of armed forces.

Wizards can perform many miracles, and among them, disasters

It also includes loading.

For that reason, even in the royal family of the Prune Kingdom, there was a lot of talk about going in after folding the request of the tower.

What about the tower that soared without knowing it was high in the sky?

In this world where there are no buildings that exceed 15 stories, the huge tower that reaches as many as 61 stories leaves the viewer in awe.

In the magic tower where such great wizards gather, Edna is a talented person called a nerd.

so that.

Edna became the hope and idol of the children of Elowyn Orphanage.

It has become a guideline to show the way forward and a goal to be reached.

It’s ignored like this now, but someday.

Edna’s very existence alone instilled such hope in the children.

It made me dream and gave me the courage to move forward.

And the manager was not able to trample on that hope and crushed it.

The bondage of birth will not let you go, and your efforts will be ridiculed and frustrated by your clear limits. It’s just an eternal weakness.

That’s what I said.

The children’s eyes turned to Edna.

I was telling you to deny it, please.

“Anima unnie…, Edna unnie was great, hib, she said…”

Although Lina hung her tears in her eyes and raised her voice with courage.

“I’m just saying it’s because we’re close. A low-key orphan comes from somewhere and acts as a maid while farting, can’t you give me that much lip service?”

The director immediately denied Lina’s words.

“I, the headmaster. Such words are too much.

“What do you know about you, who grew up wealthy because you met your parents well? It looks like you didn’t go through any hardships.”

I opened my mouth to intervene, but the manager looked at my hand and snorted.

hit

As the director said, my hand was smooth, without a single callus, as if I had never even held a pen.

After playing in the snow outside

As I was washing the children’s clothes with cheap laundry soap, that’s why Serpens came and treated my hands.

Thanks to this, my hands have been so tight that I can tell you to go away from any noble lady.

I couldn’t hide my hands because I was holding her forward to comfort the baby.

Had it been hidden, it wouldn’t have changed much.

A sense of distance that cannot be narrowed has already been established between me and the children.

The intimacy that I had drawn out through play disappeared in an instant. The children looked down on their rough hands and felt deprived.

After all, whatever I say, it just feels like deception-.

‘I can’t say anything because he thought of me and treated me, really… .’

Even if it’s not a hand anyway, the manager is making other excuses and putting me in the conversation

would have been excluded.

He wants to make me a public enemy.

I quietly smiled bitterly.

“Edna, aren’t you resentful of this world? Don’t you get angry when people with less skill than you mock and ignore you? It’s nothing wrong with innocent children running around like this!”

The children, who had barely been comforted by the cry of the director, burst out crying again.

Edna looked confused.

He bit his lips so hard that blood came out.

It’s really the worst.

“You have a talent for magic, so you’ve got a spot, but a child like me who doesn’t know how to do anything is the bottom line forever.”

“Austin, please… Please, stop…”

“Stop? Are you satisfied with your current life? Yes, it is. You may be ignored in the tower, but if you go outside, you can live with a mage. It’s really good. I’m really envious.”

Edna ejaculated, the manager

He continued to slander without regard for it.

“But know this one thing. How many kids here are as talented as you…. Isn’t it strange to say, ‘How much is it?”

“Even if orphans like us have worked hard for a hundred days, nothing is getting better.”

The director trampled the children’s hopes and spread despair.

“You think you’re there because you’ve worked hard?

was lucky Luckily, you had great talent, and there was a head teacher who would run around for you, and there was a senior who properly supported the orphanage. But, was it really just luck?”

“••• What the hell are you talking about?”

Does she know what the director is talking about?

Edna’s eyes fluttered anxiously. As a result, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of the director’s lips.

“At that time, he entered our orphanage.

All donations went to you, and the head teacher who had to take care of ‘us’ ran around because of you. You are an election at the expense of other children, including me.”

“that….”

“You really didn’t know that? You knew it. You want to relieve the debt, so you’re still paying attention to the orphanage! Out of all the children you were with at that time, you were the only one who came to this place. Why are you like that?”

“Because I’m sick of this place. This orphan

You are the only one who has memories of the circle, and you are the only one who has benefited from it!”

“You… you’re the only one who never tells me anything Don’t deserve it.”

In the pouring resentment, Edna did not answer anything.

“I’m the one who’s really struggling, but the kids follow you more than I do. Isn’t it funny? Everyone’s really stupid. No matter how hard they try, it’s me who can be you, not you.

I was ignored by you and sacrificed for you! They need to know that this is their future!”

“do not say that…!”

“You’ve got to stop it. Because you keep showing me silly dreams, don’t the kids get it wrong?”

Dreams and ideals collapsed helplessly in the face of brutal reality.

Edna covered her face and sat down on the floor.

Worried, I approached her and held out her hand, but she cried and shook my hand.

A shudder, a sharp friction sounded.

Obviously, my hands collided with each other, but for some reason, deep inside my heart tingled.

“Mr. Edna…”

I called her name with a sad heart, but the only answer that came back was sobbing.

In this narrow, isolated world of a nursery school.

I was completely a foreigner.

“Edney. Just once, just once.

come on Do you know how much debt the children owe to the top of Rossio now for referrals for education? This person is better than the money that the children now receive from hard work under the name of a teacher. It’s money you can’t pay back even if you roll like a dog for the rest of your life.”

Wenjing, who had been driving Edna with rage for a while, begged her this time with a timid tone.

“Well, that’s it…?”

“Yeah, you didn’t know. Because I didn’t show you the ledger.”

Edna shook her head as if possessed

I looked up at the director, and the director raised one corner of his mouth while looking down at her tear-stained face.

As I looked at it, an unfamiliar horror ran across my spine.

“If only that Rossio top disappears, the debt will disappear along with it. And if we take away the goods stored by the top, the children won’t have to suffer as much as they do now. Under a really good teacher, I can make them learn what they want to learn.”

“Ha, but…”

“What are you hesitating about?! You have the strength to do that!

Hey! But why don’t you help us? Are you sure you really care about these children?”

When Edna appeared hesitant, the director pushed her away again, threatening her.

Right now this moment.

She became a staunch underdog.

“I, I…, sincerely…”

“Don’t lie! It’s just self-satisfaction to ease the burden on your heart! Just pretending to come and play with you!”

“It’s not… it’s not…”

“If not, please help!”

The cries of children from all directions. A voice mixed with resentment that stimulates a sense of debt.

Despair is so contagious that it penetrates people’s hearts so easily that they sink into the depths of the abyss.

If it stays like this, what will my mind be like?

Even though I, who is a stranger, is like this, Edna, who is the party involved, would be terrified.

“Wait a minute. Both the head teacher and Edna-san were too red.”

，，What are you doing?”

“Your child is hurt! We need to start treatment first!”

As if belatedly awakened by my words, Edna said, ‘Ah!’ and let out a short sigh.

Wiping her tears and looking at her waking up, the manager said, ‘He chuckled and kicked his tongue.

Edna, blinded by debt and sympathy, couldn’t see it.

‘The obvious craftsmanship is clearly visible in my eyes… .’

The director deliberately provoked her in front of the children.

If you truly care about your children, you can’t.

If Edna refuses the headmaster’s words, the children will resent Edna, and if she follows him, the children will live in guilt for the rest of their lives.

He just took the children hostage and threatened Edna.

There is no cause for the action, and there is no sympathy for children.

He was full of only self-pity.

The fortunate thing is that the director doesn’t seem to want to push Edna any more.

If you push the injured child to the point of leaving her alone, she must have judged that she might retaliate.

“Edney-, think carefully. What is the path for children.”

Still, it was a pity that he quietly stepped down, and the manager muttered a voice that didn’t even end there.

The man shed a satisfied smile as he entered the director’s room.

You must have thought that this was enough for today.

I was very angry at the act of driving Edna with the children in front.

But more than that, I was even more angry with myself for standing still and not saying anything.

Why couldn’t I say anything stupidly?’

I regretted it, but on the other hand, a cowardly thought crossed my mind that whatever I said would have been of no use.

So I got even more angry.

thank you.”

“Yes Yes?!”

I was swallowing up my anger at my pathetic me, when Edna suddenly said thank you.

I’m dumbfounded

“I was just thinking about myself, so I didn’t really care about the injured child. Thank you for taking care of me instead, and thank you for stopping the conversation.”

With her swollen eyes, she blinked at the ice pack in Shion’s hand.

The young boy, who was only thirteen years old, was crying, thinking that all these four months were because of him.

“And the one I put out my hand earlier…”

“It’s fine. Rather than that, Edna-san should go and get some rest…”

“No, no. I’m fine.”

I will very much

As if reading the thoughts on my face, Edna smiled bitterly.

“••• It doesn’t make sense.”

“Shion, I will treat you, Edna, don’t worry and go in.”

“Ah, I have to feed the kids dinner too…”

“I’ll take care of that too.”

“…are you okay?”

Edna’s gaze was not directed to me.

She looked around and followed her gaze to find the faces of children against me.

If I want to eat, everyone goes to my room

are about to go in.

“I think Edna should take care of the children’s meals.”

Edna nodded slightly.
