The Resetting Lady

Chapter 73



[73]

“You’re here.”

Raymond tried to say good-bye to him, but he didn’t know if it was right to say so. So he reached out his hand with a more ordinary greeting.

“Hello, Mr. Duran. Long time no see.”

“…….”

But Dulan looked down at his hand and turned away. It was rude and rude. Raymond lowered his hand awkwardly. The apprenticeship investigation bowed to Raymond instead with a embarrassed face.

“I’m sorry. Please understand him… the driver. He was supposed to….”

Raymond restrained himself because he was trying to bend his waist. It’s not his business to apologize. And most of all, it wasn’t that bad. Duran gave me something bigger than that.

“That’s all right.”

It wasn’t that important. It’s a trifle. Haymond did not dwell on that. Raymond asked the apprentice a bigger question. We must hear the main point first.

“Is Lord Zion all right?”

What mattered to the young knight was whether his men were alive.

“Yes.”

And the apprentice gave him the answer he wanted. He looks pleased at Raymond, who is worried about his subordinates. When Raymond saw his smiling face, he hurried behind Duran.

“My Lord.”

“…….”

“Dulan the Priest.”

Duran paused, glanced at Raymond and walked back. But it didn’t stop Raymond. It is because it is difficult to open your mouth to refuse. Raymond followed Duran and continued.

“Thank you for saving Lord Zion.”

It was a thank-you note. However, Duran glanced at Raymond and spoke out.

“It’s all I have to do.”

“It’s also a job to thank.”

Raymond tried to hold his hand, but Duran backed away.

“Well, now… go. Well, I understand.”

Duran seemed uncomfortable with Raymond. In fact, the relationship will not be strange even if it is inconvenient. Because it was only a woman named Karen who was tying them up. If it weren’t for Karen, there wouldn’t be much for them to get involved in. But this time, I had a different connection. And Raymond decided to hold on to the string more.

“Can I ask you more about Lord Zion’s condition?”

“I don’t think it’ll be a big problem.”

asked Duran. The eyes meet.

“Hey, you already sent someone. Why did you come all the way here?”

He asks Raymond why he came here. Raymond looked at him and said,

“I wanted to thank you.”

“…okay, do, go back.”

“My Lord.”

“Ca, there’s another reason– Do you have a tooth?”

The first reason was Zion. But that wasn’t all. Duran knows that. Raymond was a little embarrassed and dropped his eyes. It was for a different reason that he came. The reason behind it could have been more important.

Even if Duran doesn’t point out, Raymond knows. But Raymond soon found out that it was not his own shame. He has to talk to Duran. Even if he wants to avoid it.

“I’d like to make a confession.”

“…Zee, I’m a little busy at the moment.”

Duran was clearly trying to avoid Raymond. But Raymond didn’t mean to let him go. There is no time to put off. He can’t tell how much time he’s allowed. Prince Gwiz began to move. Raymond had to talk to Duran. I had to check.

“When do you have time?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

“I won’t go back until you have time.”

Duran’s face openly expressed displeasure, but Raymond held out his hands. He will not stand down.

“I’d like to make a confession.”

“…….”

“Right now.”

In the end, Raymond drove Dulan, who kept hesitating, to a confession.

percussion

I can feel the moist and cool air.

The dark confession was made of old oak trees, which seemed to calm people’s minds because it was thick and heavy. Raymond sat down and closed his eyes. Waiting for Duran to come in after a while.

The confession, which is located behind a quiet place where non-mainstream people do not go around well, did not cover the identity of the person who confessed or heard the priest at all. But that’s why more diverse people used to use it.

“…I’m here to confess to you.”

Raymond opened his mouth as he watched Duran sitting across the street in the purple zone. Duran’s confession didn’t seem to be common. Everything looked awkward. But when Duran sat down and faced Raymond, Raymond felt strange.

What is the relationship between him and this man? At the time I encountered him at the Haier mansion, I thought he was a little less sociable. And then, then. Raymond had a hard time thinking about Karen and him. But there is something to be confirmed by him.

“I have sinned.”

“Uh… what sin have you committed?”

“…killed a man.”

Raymond pleaded guilty to being a greeting to him. That is not the point. Neither Raymond nor Duran knew it. Murder is the greatest sin, but not for a man whose occupation is it. There is a greater sin against him. Raymond thought of a greater sin than murder.

“I’m in doubt.”

“…who do you doubt?”

Raymond saw Duran.

“Dulan the Priest. I doubt you.”

Duran said nothing.

“I doubt you. I suspect you helped Karen Haier kill people, cover up bodies, set fire to them, and made Icela Evans do that.”

Raymond went on looking through the crack at Duran’s black eyes.

“Can my sins be forgiven?”

The castle resounded between the two. It was music that didn’t go well with this situation. Raymond saw Duran. Durand saw Raymond. Unlike in the hallway, he didn’t avoid it. I wasn’t afraid. Duran looked at Raymond with his mysterious eyes. Then he answered.

“…you don’t have to be forgiven. Your suspicions are reasonable.”

“Do you?”

Raymond heard Duran’s answer. It wasn’t surprising. He wasn’t expecting Dulan’s answer either. The fire of the day was not natural either. Raymond bowed his head and overlapped his hands. Even if I checked the story I had guessed, I couldn’t help feeling unfamiliar. Raymond seemed to be tickling around his chest.

“…….”

Raymond closed his eyes. From my ear I can hear the hymn from the main hall far away. Bless you. An unbecoming hymn reverberates. However, Raymond feels a surge of emotions that cannot be in his heart. Raymond opened his eyes. The flushed Dulan was seen.

“I understand. Thank you.”

“…more, do you have anything more to confess?”

“Please forgive me for not trusting you even now.”

“…yeah?”

He was clumsy in all manner. Even a lie. By his answer, Raymond was sure. Duran tried to hide something in silence, but Raymond knew. I don’t know what’s inside, but that’s enough what Raymond wanted to check. Raymond looked up at Duran. He seemed to have given up a little.

“May the Lord forgive me for my sins I do not know.”

“…leh, Lord Raymond?”

“Thank you for the work of Zion. I also apologize to you for doubting you, the tool of God for a moment.”

Raymond got up from his seat. Duran’s face has changed.

“Gee, now.”

“You are not a person who can kill people.”

That’s what people like you do.

“Thank you for listening to my confession. Goodbye.”

“……!”

Following Raymond, Dulan came out of confession. In the light, he looked more unseemly. Stretch out your skinny arm to catch Raymond.

“…why… are you here?”

“It was to confess my sins. I know I’m wrong, so I’m going to confess my sins and go back.”

Raymond saw Duran’s answer, his willingness to defend Karen. That was enough. And thank you for Xion. But Duran caught Raymond. His face is distorted.

“Didn’t you say sin, sin, and not sin?”

“Yes, I see.”

“Your suspicions… It’s not… it’sir.

I’m getting tired of my arm. But it was only feeble for Raymond, a well-trained soldier.

“You just said it’s natural to suspect in my situation.”

“Well, I…”

Raymond grabbed Dulan’s arm and gently pulled it off.

“I’m sorry, Father Duran. I can’t believe it.”

“…oh, now, I’m going to… Is it because you saved it? Well, you’re so sure that I’m a person who can’t kill people?”

Duran asked if he had been questioned by saving Zion. You don’t think you’re a great man who can kill people. It sounded as if he was saying that he looked like a coward. It was the attitude of the wicked.

“Oh, my God. Do you regret saving someone’s life?”

“…….”

Duran’s face looked like that. Raymond was a little bit bitter. in good faith I once believed that such a world was right. But preaching and practice are different.

“You’d better not speak too loud, my lord.”

I heard footsteps. But the step soon moved away. Soon there was no sign of popularity in the hall. But I can hear a holy man. The sound here can be heard outside. Raymond grabbed Dulan by the shoulder. I can feel the tremor. It was an act that I said to calm down, but it is nothing more than a threat. Raymond spoke quietly in Duran’s ear.

“Don’t worry too much.”

Raymond decided to live with his sins.
