I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 73
“Wow, is this God?”
“Yes, it is Lux who sprinkled light on this world.”
Mother’s face, which had been dark lately, brightened, and Gael chattered. I wanted to ask who Calisis was, but I couldn’t.
This time perhaps Mother would really shed tears.
On the way back, Mother stroked Gael’s hair and spoke.
“Gael.”
“Yes?”
“Should Father and Mother go to this gathering, not Sister?”
“Great!”
“Can Father go… Oh, it’s a holiday this time, right?”
Mother nodded her head.
“Yes. So there will be no problems.”
“Yes, I got it.”
Gael, loved by both my parents and me, jumped up and down with excitement.
I seemed to understand why Mother said she would go to the imperial palace.
“I will go to the lab that day.”
The Emperor gave away the annex for the gathering, and he said he would attend. In other words, it would be impossible to spar with me.
“You go to the lab quite often. Do you have a hidden jar of honey?”
“You know, I like to learn.”
My conscience pricked when I learned of Mother’s tender heart, which I always thought was strong.
On the day of Deuce, I headed to the lab early in the morning. There was Weathering in the laboratory that I expected to be empty.
“Euel, why are you showing your face on the weekend?”
“I’m not here to help with Weathering’s research, so don’t make me work.”
“Alright, alright.”
Weathering raised his hand.
“Oh, come to think of it, Weathering, you’re neat even if there is no class today.”
“What? Aahh.”
Weathering, who was examining his attire, shrugged his shoulders.
“I was going to just do it roughly today, but I got overboard.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Shaking his head, Weathering sat down at his desk and started working. I sat at the table in front of his desk and compared the data I brought with the data in the lab to gather the necessary information.
Tess told the library director so I can bring the book back. Very convenient.
The books in the restricted area have magic, but the director unlocked the book I wanted. However, books that were originally enchanted cannot be taken out of the restricted area.
There were several types of magic, such as books that could not be moved more than a certain distance from the place where they were placed, and books that should not be looked at for a long time.
Ancient artifacts where magic flourished.
After much time had passed, I felt I was getting hungry, so I picked up a cookie from a glass jar enchanted with preservation. It’s delicious.
I don’t think it’s a matter to Weathering. Because I’ve never seen him put a snack to his mouth.
“Euel.”
“Yes?”
“Are you going to Marquis Gilber’s party too?”
“Perhaps?”
“Did you get a partner?”
“No.”
It reminded me of Regan Liesl, who came to me to apply as a partner. I won’t go with him. Weathering asked at the moment when the cookie in my mouth suddenly felt tasteless.
“Do you want to go with me?”
“With Weathering?”
“Yes. Is there anyone you want to go with?”
“No, not really.”
There is no one in my mind, but Ethyl will apply for a partner with Aurin, and Nus has gone down to the province again.
“Then how about we go together?”
I thought of Tess, who unconditionally hated anyone whose gender was male who came close to me. To me, Weathering is someone similar to Ethyl, what is Tess worried about?
Still, I was a little worried, but Weathering brought up a tempting story.
“I want to introduce my colleague too. I think it would be nice to get to know Euel as well, how about that?”
“Really?”
Weathering’s colleague, who is that? I traced the names of the scholars in my head.
Rumble, boom.
Thunder and lightning began to strike suddenly. I ran to the window behind Weathering and opened it.
Shaaaaa.
Thick raindrops covered the view.
“It’s raining…….”
When I stretched out my hand, it rained so hard that my palms were quickly filled with water.
“It’s strange.”
“What?”
“The rain… It’s like someone shedding tears.”
“Is Euel not depressed?”
Is it like that?
“You look worried.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Weathering spoke in a tone that was not different from usual. My mind, which was agitated by the not so excessive reaction, calmed down.
“I was worried because I thought I was a bad daughter.”
“Euel is?”
The tone was funny.
“If it were me, I would be happy just to have a daughter like Euel.”
“You do?”
“Yes. Pretty, diligent, smart. Also, you are strong and carry books well. How could such a daughter be bad?”
“Haha.”
I laughed at Weathering’s joke.
What Mother and Tess want from me cannot coexist. But I want both. It would be nice if people could only have one mind at a time.
“I don’t think Euel has that kind of personality, but maybe there was an accident?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then does being a bad daughter mean that there is a difference between what your mother wants and what Euel wants?”
“Perhaps?”
“Then you can do it.”
“What?”
Turning my back to the window. I saw Weathering looking at me.
“If it can’t be done, it should be done.”
“What does that mean?”
“Look at the research I am doing now. Everyone says it’s impossible, but I won’t give up.”
Contrary to his gentle tone, his brown eyes were shining.
“I will find a passage leading to another world.”
“…….”
“It’s the same as that, Euel.”
The scholar, who had always been stuck in books and I thought he knew nothing, showed an unexpected side.
“If your mother wants something different from you, persuade her. Or have the ability to easily solve your mother’s concerns.”
Ah, that’s right.
“Thank you, Weathering.”
“Don’t mention it.”
I smiled broadly, and the other person responded with a smile as well.
