As soon as he realized it, Argention jumped up from his seat.
âIâll be on my way.â
âPlease go backâ¦â¦â¦. What?â
Argention ignored Leodor, who opened his eyes wide, and left the drawing room.
âWhereâs father?â
âHe went to the palace. Itâs about time he came back.
âSo brotherâ¦â¦â¦â¦.â
Roselina and the maid were talking in the hallway a short distance away.
She didnât seem to hear him.
âGood.â
Argention turned his head sideways and saw a window.
Without hesitation, he opened the window and jumped.
The drawing room was on the third floor, but it didnât matter at all.
After a little while
âDuke Palesdon! Going like this.â¦â¦â¦. Huh? Rose?â
Leodor, who left the drawing room in a hurry, ran into Roselina.
âRose, have you seen the Duke of Palesdon?â
âWasnât he in the drawing room with brother?â
âNo, he just left.â
âReally? I didnât see him.â
âWhatâs going on?â
Roselina and Leodor looked at each other with embarrassed faces.
âIâm sure he was here a little while ago, but heâs not here anymoreâ¦â¦â¦â¦?â
Leodor muttered in an absurd voice.
13. For Eliza
âWhere did the Argention disappear?â
But I couldnât think long about this matter.
It was because a notification came up as soon as I came back to my room.
[Passive Skill â¬Random Preview of Disaster Facing the Brighton Familyâ is used.]
[We detected a danger in the near future!]
[The disaster preview begins]
âAll of a sudden, there was danger?â
I fell into the illusion before I could question it.
The black fog enveloped me and soon disappeared.
âWhat is it this time?â
It was my father, Duke Brighton, who was soon in sight.
âGod is indifferent, how can this happen!â
âDuke, itâs a blasphemous statement, so itâs dangerousâ¦â¦â¦.â
âShut up! You know what happened to me and Brighton, but youâre saying that!â
He was in a rare state of rage.
âWhat does he mean?â
Something big seems to have happened, but I havenât figured it out yet.
âMy child is so pitiful, what should I doâ¦â¦â¦. That young manâ¦â¦â¦â¦.â
The Duke wept and grieved.
The only people heâd call a child are Leodor and I.
âBut I donât think the âyoung manâ the duke is referring to is me or Leodor.â
The question was quickly resolved.
âA child whom I thought died before he was born is actually alive. As a father, I am guilty for not knowing that. Kukâ¦â¦â¦.â
What?
I was astonished to hear the Duke.
âThe baby in the womb who died with Beatrice was actually alive?â
I was surprised like this, but the duke seemed to be in agony.
The duke in the illusion quickly became weak.
âFather, cheer up.â
âThatâs right. Why are you so weak these days?â
In the illusion, Leodor and I seemed to know nothing.
The Duke kept the truth confidential and embraced his sadness alone.
Then, eventually, I saw the duke falling down.
That was the end of the illusion.
âNo way.â
I couldnât say anything for a while because of the shock.
âI never thought heâd be alive.â
It was a truth that Leodor and her father would never have known since they died one after another in the original.
The child lived and died without a name.
âI have to find the child right now.â
Then as if it had read my will, a notification came to mind.
[A new quest has occurred. Do you want to check?]
âYes.â
[Scenario â¬Blessing of Brightonâ] (4)
You changed your destiny many times and proceeded with the scenario â¬Blessing of Brightonâ.
The scenario â¬Blessing of Brightonâ does not only affect you.
It also had a slight influence on the youngest child of Opersse Brighton and Beatrice Brighton. Because of that, the child is still alive.
However, the intended doom of the child was only delayed a little, and not extinguished.
Thereâs not much time left. Go ahead and find out where he is!
â Find out the whereabouts of the perpetrator
â Reward: 50 Fate energy]
âDid a quest come out because I donât have much time?â
It was not about finding and saving the child, but a question arose.
âLetâs use an item first.â
I took the location tracker out of the inventory.
[Do you want to use â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
Are you sure you want to target the â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
âYes, Iâm going to designate my brother.â
[Failed to locate the target with the Location Tracker from the Unknown World]
[Designated to: ???]
[The location of the designated target cannot be determined.]
I couldnât give up like this.
I used the item again.
[Do you want to use â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
Are you sure you want to specify the destination for â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
âThe youngest child of Operse Brighton and Beatrice Brighton.â
[Failed locate the target with the Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown World]
[Designated to: ???]
[The location of the designated target cannot be determined.]
But it failed one after another.
âWhy isnât it working?â
I looked at the information about the location tracker.
[Location tracker Summoned from the Unknown World]
-Grade: Grade C
â Item Description: Location Tracker that lets you know the location of the specified target]
Underneath it was a very small letter, âCautionâ.
I read the words aloud.
âTo use an item, you need to know the real name of the designated target.â
There was no way I knew the real name of an unborn child.
But I couldnât even ask the Duke of Brighton.
âItâll be like picking up the pain heâs been trying to cover up.â
I also considered strengthening the item, but it was useless.
âI could level up a skill but it does not change the nature of the item.â
The location tracking item was to confirm the location of a person whose real name the user knew.
I realized at the same time.
âThatâs why the system gave me a quest to find out where the perpetrator is.â
The child was known to be dead.
It was Elizabeth who proved that death.
âI need to find Elizabeth.â
She would have taken the child, so she would know where the child was.
âI chose the wrong target to use the item from the beginning.â
I used the item again.
[Do you want to use â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
Are you sure you want to specify the destination for the â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
âElizabeth Moliot.â
[The target of the location tracker summoned from the unknown world will be designated]
[To be designated: Elizabeth Moliot]
[You can check the location of the designated target.]
âItâs working!â
The map I saw last time appeared in the air.
I focused and waited for Elizabethâs location to appear on the map.
And finally.
The result was just a failure.
âNo. Is it ambiguous to call it a failure?â
Half of it failed, but the other half succeeded.
Elizabethâs location was pointed on the map.
[Finding the whereabouts of the culprit has been confirmed]
[You have completed the quest scenario â¬Blessing of Brightonâ (4)]
[50 Fate energy will be given as a reward.]
Technically, the quest has also been completed.
Butâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.
[The name of the designated target âElizabeth Moliotâ is unknown]
[The location of the designated target cannot be determined.]
Elizabeth disappeared from the map.
Surprised, I tried to locate Elizabeth again, but failed.
But I didnât give up.
âIâve located her once, so itâll work again.â
I had no choice but to keep trying until I locate her again.
âI have to succeed.â
[Do you want to use â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
Are you sure you want to specify the target for â¬Location Tracker Summoned from the Unknown Worldâ?]
âElizabeth Moliot.â
I operated the location tracking item several times.
Elizabeth, wearing a hood, looked around the road.
âThereâs no one following me.â
After checking thoroughly over and over again, Elizabeth stepped forward.
She walked for a long time.
She got out of the complex alley and mixed in the crowd, and intentionally entered and left a store.
âJust in case, I have to be careful.â
Elizabeth was determined.
âThis is my last chance. He said he wouldnât tolerate another failure.â
At least she was on the receiving end of the stick.
She was not immediately disposed of in recognition of having fulfilled his orders so far.
âSo I must succeed.â
At last, Elizabeth arrived at her destination.
âHope for the Poor.â
An old, shabby building that doesnât even have a proper sign.
Elizabeth entered it without hesitation.
