(EP-242.2) Son-in-law? #2

242 – Live-in son-in-law? #2

“Like turning into a log. That’s why it’s used as a slang...”

“That’s right. It’s not a pleasant topic. Offering humans as sacrifices was condemned a heinous act by the Belters Council 400 years ago.”

‘I see.’

“So, Sir Theo, do you have any more questions?”

At Mirna’s question, I rummaged through my head.

Soon, I concluded that I didn’t have anything more to ask. From now on, it was time to sort through these thoughts on my own rather than asking Mirna.

So this unidentified slave didn’t have any consciousness to begin with...

Perhaps his soul was already dead.

Maybe it was because of this gap that I, Lee Sung-eum, ended up inhabiting this body, leading to the current situation. This could explain why there was only one soul within this body.

However...

Why was the last heir of the Angmar family left as a log? I had so many questions.

I immediately wanted to head over to the Witch Forest to find the place where this body was discovered.

The martial festival was going to be held in the Tarantera’s territory, the Witch Forest. Perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take some time to explore and wander around then.

Ttak-.

“Ow...!”

Someone suddenly flicked my forehead. Thanks to that, I snapped out of my thoughts. I looked up, only to see Mirna with cheeks lightly puffed out and wrinkled brows.

“Sir Theo, you weren’t listening to me at all, were you?”

What did Mirna say?

“Sorry, I was lost in thought.”

At my honest apology, Mirna snorted.

“I’ve heard that deep thinking is said to be the quality of an excellent mage. But, I’m a little disappointed that you’re not focusing on me, even though you’re with me.”

“So, um, what were you saying?”

“I was saying that I have something to ask you, Sir Theo.”

“Me?”

“Yes. So, how did it go with borrowing money from the Bellhawk family? I doubt those cunning, profiting elves would stay still.”

Mirna seemed curious about the deal with the Bellhawk family.

However, the details of the deal between the Bellhawk family and the Angmar royal family were strictly confidential. It must be kept secret from Mirna, who could be considered a third party.

“... You are very strict about business. Are you not going to tell me, even between us, Sir Theo?” _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

Mirna pursed her lips and made a face, seemingly displeased. But with her naturally chubby cheeks like a squirrel’s, and an endowed chest, she just looked cute.

“Even if I keep it a secret, will you still not tell me?”
