The Tyrant Won’t Let Me Go Chapter 42

Translated by Niks



“Arhh, uhh!!”

A painful moan, as if suffocating, resonated in a closed room.

‘What the heck, why am I…!’

The silver-haired woman tried to twist and turn her whole body and groaned, but to no avail.

The chains that bound her didn’t budge, and no one listened to just because she cried painfully.

‘Ciel, if it wasn’t for that damn thing…!’

Just as the woman was swearing inside, a door she thought would never open opened, and a man she had never seen before entered.

Seeing the vial in the man’s hand, the woman began to protest violently.

“Hmm, yes, it wouldn’t be of much use.”

Rukia, who looked down coldly at the silver-haired said.

“If you were so scared, you shouldn’t have touched the Commander in the first place.”

He said, reaching out to the trembling woman.

“Now, go to sleep.”

His voice echoed through the small room.



“You can come in here.”

Shortly after meeting with us, Rukia guided us to a separate room deep in the Magic Research Department.

It’s an open place where high-ranking officials or royal family members visit the Magic Research Department.

Unlike the space of researchers who were tired and roughly organize their desks, this room was very luxurious.

Also, the soundproof magic was cast twice, so it was perfect for discussing top-secret matters.

“Well, just in case, I’ll cast another soundproof spell.” Rukia said, turning his wrist.

He walked and sat down on the red velvet sofa only after confirming that the soundproof magic was working.

“For now, she’s in a special prison and we’re conducting an investigation. Before I tell you the good news, I’ll give you the overall content first.”

Rukia clasped his hands together neatly and continued calmly.

Cedric, who looked at him quietly with red, transparent eyes, leaned forward and asked.

Cedric, who was still looking at him with red and transparent eyes, leaned forward and asked.

“What did you ask for yesterday?”

“Yes, considering the special circumstances, we are conducting an investigation using the ‘Verda Confesión’ as requested by Your Majesty.”

(T/N: ‘Verda Confesión’- True Confession, literally in spanish 베르다컨페시온.)

Verda Confesión is one of the strongest confession systems.

A person who drinks this drug will unconditionally answer the other person’s question truthfully.

However, the person only answered questions that were asked, so it didn’t talk about things that wasn’t ask.

Cedric seemed to have told the investigator to use the drug to investigate the woman because he was concerned about spreading the secret about Ciel carelessly.

“However, unlike other drugs, Verda Confesión has a shorter duration. So, each time she drinks it, I could only ask three or four questions.”

Rukia rubbed his eyes and tapped the table with his finger as he spoke.

“To increase the duration, we have to increase the amount she drinks at a time, but even a small increase in the amount could be close to a lethal dose, so that’s not possible.”

“Of course. It’s hard to let her die easily.” Cedric said meaningfully.

“Yes, so I’m investigating by feeding her Verda Confesión to the point of not letting her die during the investigation, and when we’re not conducting the investigation, we gag and chained her.” Rukia kindly explained in a gentle tone.

“Oh, and Commander Minerva. Could you take a look at this result?”

I picked up the stiff paper Rukia handed over with both hands.

“As you said, we investigated whether someone else used transformation magic to impersonate your mother.”

A concise sentence was written in neat font below the list of complex formulas.

【The two people above are judged to have the right parent-child blood relationship】

The moment I glanced at the dry black text, I bit my lip without realizing it.

“Since she did not registered any in the family registery, we investigated whether she had a biological relationship with the Commander through mana. Since the results came out that way…”

“You mean she’s?”

“Yes…”

I knew this would happen. I realized it when I got the results and felt my heart sinking slowly.

‘What was I expecting?’

Just as I had a glimmer of hope That the person who wanted me to be ruined might not be my real mother.

Now is time to let go of that hope.

“And the Commander, that woman, she was not in her sane mind.”

“How drunk was she? I remember the smell of alcohol was strong even in broad daylight.”

She smells like alcohol, but if she had been sober, she wouldn’t have attacked me with a knife, the best swordsman in the Empire.

That thought came to my mind even more strongly when I saw the escorts running around like a madman even though I held up a sword and restrained her.

“Oh, that’s…” Rukia paused and hesitated.

“I think she drank a little, but the problem was that she on drugs.”

“What…?”

I never imagined that she would get into drugs when she done that.

“And a commoner possessed a significant amount of expensive drugs that could never be obtained through ordinary labor.”

“Did you find out where the drug came from?” Cedric frowned and asked seriously.

The Deamant Empire was currently struggling with illegal distribution of drugs.

“I gave her a confession pill and asked who the person that told her the Commander’s secret, and who gave the drugs. She replied that she had been given drugs in exchange for testifying about it in front of people.”

“Hah!”

It was so ridiculous that I was left speechless.

I thought she might have been bought by someone, given that someone who hadn’t even looked for me for nearly a decade suddenly came and tried to threaten me.

‘Was that so, did she do that for drugs?’

Ciel grinded her teeth softly.

Wouldn’t it be better if she received money instead because it was hard to make ends meet?

Then I might have had even the slightest sympathy.

It was disgusting that she intended hurt me, not for that reason, purely for her own pleasure, it makes me want to vomit.

“So she was asked to attract people’s attention and spread bad rumors about me by saying, ‘I’m the mother of the Commander of the Knight Ciel Minerva’?”

“Yeah, it seemed like that when you put it all together. I didn’t even ask why she came to see the Commander in person after receiving such a request.”

“It would have spread farther if she made a rumor behind you.”

“That’s right. I think we’ll find out about that part after further interrogation.”

Rukia nodded in agreement at Cedric’s words, and handed over the documents.

“There’s one more thing. I looked into the knife she wielded, and there was a considerable amount of Flonecia pollen on it.”

At that, Cedric’s eyes widened and asked.

“But Commander Minerva is allergic to Flonecia.”

“Yes. If the pollen had reached the Commander, she would have suffered even breathing difficulties in severe cases. Of course, it’s difficult for an ordinary person to wield a knife at the Commander.”

Rukia took off his glasses he was wearing and put them down on the table, then sighed.

“Anyway, no matter how much Flonecia was used for food and was a flower that could be seen easily on the roadside, it could only be considered as she intentional to put a large amount of pollen on a knife.”

‘What was she trying to do with it?’

Was she was trying to threaten me more strongly for not listening to her?

“Well, it’s not very pleasant so far, but I’ll give you some good news from now on.”

Rukia held out a thick bunch of documents.

“This was a ruling on the case where a vagrant assaulted the baron’s second son three years ago under the influence of alcohol.”

Come to think of it, there seems to have been such an incident.

‘I haven’t even heard what kind of punishment the person who caused the incident against the noble was.’

With that in mind, I moved to the backmost page of the document and my eyes widened in surprise.

“25 years in prison?”

“Yes. It came out more than you thought, right? It’s said to be an assault, but the victim was hit only once.” Rukia spoke as she tapped over the document.

“But the judge sentenced him to a heavy sentence in that he unilaterally attacked a victim without a weapon.”

“And the fact that the perpetrator hit the victim and took out a knife also seems to have contributed to the increase in sentence.”

Rukia nodded at my words as I skimmed through the verdict.

“There’s a lot of similarities to this case, right? So maybe the woman who attacked the Commander would probablyhave a hard time avoiding a heavy sentence.” Rukia laughed as he spoke.

“In addition to the previous threats and attacks on the Commander, the use and possession of illegal drug, with the attempted injury are recognized…”

Rukia pulled up his glasses while scribbling numbers with a quill on a blank piece of paper.

“Let’s see. It’s not very accurate, but according to the logic in this ruling…”

Under the dizzyingly scattered numbers, Rukia circled the final result.

“She’ll be sentenced to 50 years in prison easily.”
