Episode 194. trust
Sigh.
When Ian opened the Star Tower interrogation room, Mariv was looking out the window. A single beam of light shining into a dark room. Even while the wizards were moving piles of documents, he kept his eyes fixed on the outside. It’s as if he can’t believe that the future he didn’t envision has come.
“Sir, please sit down. “Let the interrogation begin.”
Unlike Gale, whose nape was torn, he was intact without any major injuries. Although it is occasionally covered in dust, it looks noble for someone who was the main culprit who brought chaos to the imperial palace. Most of the main forces, including his aides, died with their limbs tattered.
“You yourself?”
Mariv looked back. She seemed to be smiling, but her disappointed eyes were calm. She wondered where Ian had seen that, and soon realized that it was the look in Gail’s eyes while she was lying on the bed. Although they are anxious to kill each other, their blood connection is certain.
“That’s right. “We will treat you with courtesy, so please cooperate.”
“It’s an interrogation, so I tend to put a lot of effort into unnecessary things. “If it were me, I would never do such a troublesome thing.”
The victory has already been lost. He stabbed the father-in-law emperor, robbed his servants, and tried to kill his brother. It is said that he will be deprived of the imperial family name, and the end will be beheading. The outcome can be determined without a trial, so why waste time on an interrogation?
But Ian just flips through the documents indifferently.
“If you were me, you would say that, but not me.”
All procedures for the trial will be conducted accurately and accurately. That is the only way to straighten out the discipline of the imperial palace that the two princes had disrupted, and to establish the legitimacy and centralization of the next emperor, Jin.
“First, it is about the attempt to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor. “There is a record that His Majesty has been having difficulty breathing during sleep for several months.”
“iced coffee. You must have had an uncomfortable sleep. Even seeing dead people. “But what does that have to do with me?”
Percussion.
Ian presented the material that Gail had handed over. It was received in return for turning a blind eye to Wesley’s curse and neutralizing the Sildam potion.
Mariv slowly turned the pages of the paper with a look telling her to read it. Judging by the way he was laughing out loud, he seemed to have realized something.
“I guess this was the reason I got along with Gale.”
I realized why I hadn’t decided on a clear line between myself and Gale. Marib could not deny that the center of the whole situation was in his Ian’s hands.
“Something like this to a born-again bastard on the outskirts, haha. under.”
“If you have something to argue, do it.”
As Ian said that, he leisurely scanned another piece of paper with his hands. It means that you are ready to refute the argument.
“This is evidence that will be put up at trial, so it would be better to do as much as you can.”
Mariv leaned back and made eye contact with Ian. He was born as a prince and would die as an emperor, he promised himself every moment and believed that.
Is it the end? Is this really the end? Mariv muttered as she looked at the sunlight pouring in front of her. The spirit of victory has been broken, but my neck has not yet broken.
“Isn’t it all what you ordered, Sir Ian?”
Stop. The wizard who was recording the interrogation in the corner flinched. The same goes for those who were observing. Everyone frowned at Mariv’s sudden remark.
“Me?”
“okay. Sir Ian, you persuaded me.”
“Sir, I was in Hielo Territory at that time.”
“You are a wizard, so there was a way.”
Ian realized Mariv’s intention and let out a bitter laugh. It was a ploy to prolong the trial process by providing absurd testimony during the interrogation process, and it was intended to create an opportunity for any opposing forces in the imperial palace to confront Ian.
When the clerk put down his pen, Mariv spoke out.
“How do we tailor records to be used in history according to our tastes? “Don’t leave out even a single tosi.”
It was a trivial threat, saying that if he did that, he would behave badly at the trial.
With a light hand gesture, Ian commanded the recording to continue. Anyway, it’s okay to just cut out things that don’t make sense and aren’t worth explaining.
“I’m just glad I’m four months old now. “If you ascended the throne, I think Bariel, not the imperial palace, would have been ruined.”
Ian said that beyond being unqualified, he was downright ugly.
Veins appeared on Mariv’s temples, but he just kept smiling. Because humiliation for an opportunity is nothing. He could do anything as long as he could survive, as long as he could inform God of the crisis he was in.
“The third commander, Beols, witnessed and testified that the sword was swung at His Majesty the Emperor. There is nothing to question about this. “The journeyman you robbed is still missing. What did you do?”
“I handed it over to the Ministry of Magic. “Isn’t that why you saved me like this?”
Quang!
“Ian. “I can’t bear to listen!”
The wizard, who had not heard anything, protested harshly and shouted. Mariv grinned, and Ian frowned as a sign of self-respect. As if there was nothing to be upset about by a trivial trick.
“You know Rutherford?”
“Ah, top?”
“How did you end up doing business with that place?”
“When was it? It’s been a while, but I once crossed the Hawan Kingdom on my way back from a grand tour. That’s when I met Rutherford. Ian, weren’t you together too? Since it was the time of the Bratz Territory, this must have been enough.”
The Grand Tour was a journey undertaken by children of the privileged class. A short trip lasting a few months to visit neighboring countries to learn about culture, economy, society, etc. and expand your knowledge. Since there are dozens of carriages being pulled, it is more like a procession than a trip.
Mariv deftly measured the child’s height with the blade of her hand.
“Hmm. is not it? “Is this enough?”
“Your acting is excellent.”
Mariv had truly gone on a grand tour, but no one in the interrogation room believed her. The prince sighed and wrote down each letter.
Sigh.
It was then.
Mariv saw silver hair passing through the window of the door where Ian was sitting with his back to her. That’s a child of that height, but how many children in the imperial palace are there with silver hair who can even enter the interrogation room?
‘Arsene?’
no. It must be Jin. At that time, I clearly saw Jin being hugged by Ian in Delina’s palace. And the Ministry of Magic, which went to kill Jin, also confirmed the bond between the two.
If it is Ian, the Ian who played with himself and Gail, he will definitely aim for central control through Jin.
“But it’s strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“Ian, I don’t know why you went with Jean and not Arsene. “Even if I understand everything else, I don’t know that one thing.”
The wizard who had been standing still flinched.
Oh my, Jin pulled my collar. It seems that the child’s doubts have been pointed straight to the mark. Why is it Jin and not Arsene? Everyone will think of the same answer.
‘The remaining hand is at least comparable to the hand called Arsene that Delaina won.’
“I don’t know.”
Ian responded, suppressing his growing irritation. Things that were trivial were becoming more and more excessive. There’s a lot of work to be done, so you’re interfering with meaningless arguments.

The wizards glanced at the lowered voice, looked at them, and bit their lips.
‘Please shut up, my dear.’
‘I think Ian is on the verge of getting angry.’
“If supporting Jin is only superficial, then yes. There may be no reason. Since he was the one who played a role in the relationship between me and Gale, it wouldn’t be a problem to coax one like that. “Do you think I don’t know what’s inside you?”
Percussion!
Finally, I saw the end. Ian roughly closed the document and crossed his arms. It’s the same again and again… … .
“Your Majesty Mariv. “I wish you would just shut up.”
Coo!
At the same time, something hit the door.
When Ian turned around, Jin was squatting down, rubbing his forehead. It was because I was nervous and pulled the doorknob too hard. Xiaoxi became thoughtful and looked at Jin’s forehead.
“Lowering?”
“Well, ego, I mean, pretending to be popular.”
Ian stood up immediately and winked at the wizards. It was an order to continue the interrogation of Marib on my behalf.
“Sir, is your forehead okay?”
“That’s right… … .”
“Jin, the wound is deep.”
Mariv clenched her chin and called out to her half-brother. The wound he inflicted cut straight across her face. I didn’t even know it was the emperor’s mark.
“Your eyes missed me, thank me.”
“Go out. “It’s murky here.”
Sigh!
thud!
A door that closes without the slightest hesitation. The way they treated it as if it were something dirty was remarkable. Jin rubbed her forehead and looked up at her Ian.
“Sir Ian. “I’m sorry for interrupting your work.”
“no. “I was thinking about quitting because I had no income.”
“… “You know.”
“yes. Lowering.”
Jin, who was leaving the star tower, stopped.
“I want you to know for sure.”
“What?”
Ian made eye contact with Jin and bent his knees. She must have heard all of Marib’s nonsense earlier. She knew he was with Jin. Instead of just listening to me, she should have told me to shut up a long time ago.
“The reason you follow me.”
“hmm.”
Jin clenched his fists. It was something she would always point out. Whether now was the right time was another question, but whatever.
Why does Ian help him? Why does Ian consider himself precious? Are they really just seeing it as a ‘card’ to face Arsene?
then? What should I do?
“Lowering.”
Ian laughed slightly. It was obvious that all kinds of thoughts were running around in her small head. He quietly told us one by one.
“I know you must be confused. However, in times like this, you must calmly read the situation and use it to your advantage.”
A place where there are no permanent enemies or friends.
The imperial palace is such a place.
“Accept the essence itself, and don’t discriminate between right and wrong.”
Is it right if Ian held Jin’s hand out of sympathy, and is it wrong if he held Jin’s hand because he had a plan? Whether you look at it this way or that way, both are beneficial and right for Jin.
“Instead, if you know the essence, it will be easy to prepare for changing circumstances in the future.”
“That means, no matter what Sir Ian’s feelings were, he should use you first?”
“That’s right. And when your authority is stable, take a breath and look at me again. Then a different perspective will open up.”
Xiaoxi, who was listening from the side, looked at his master curiously. I have a mindset that makes it easy to say “use it and throw it away.” We know that Ian is sincere in his treatment of Jin, but does Jin really know?
“… “It’s too difficult.”
“it’s okay. You will learn it yourself.”
“I told you to know the essence.”
Jin squeezed the hem of Ian’s clothes. Then she boldly opened her eyes and made eye contact with Ian.
“Then answer my question earlier.”
“Why do you follow me?”
Ian shook his head and laughed.
“Because you suffered a huge wound.”
The Emperor’s Mark.
The curse of the oracle.
And the fate of being abandoned by his mother.
Everything was a huge wound. Ian asked, removing Jin’s hand that was holding the hem of her dress.
“What do you think?”
“… “I want to believe that I told the truth.”
“yes. Then you can just believe it. “You are the center of the world, so your faith is the truth.”
Damn-! Dang!
At that time, a huge clock bell was heard from afar. It was a sound that told me that there was not much time left until the gates were opened.
