My Magical System

Chapter 91



Chapter 91: Take him...

“Sorry, Elder Grenn, but you were accused of being the protector of the notorious group the Rapapa Bandits.” Blatantly said one of the parliament officers to the Elder.

‘Rapapa Bandits?’ Hearing what the officer said, Elder Grenn almost choked. This familiar name of a group, how could the parliament know about it?

“This is a big fat lie!” Elder Grenn suddenly growled on top of his lungs. While having a face that changes color into pale white, fuming red, green, and blue. Even his saliva splattered around as he yelled.

In his mind, ‘Fucking wastrel! What did that idiot do? I told them to lay low for now. Until the issue about them settled a bit!’

Elder Grenn’s mind processed the possible scenario of how the Rapapa Bandits were discovered and how his name was easily dragged into it.

Yet, he could not think of any possible settings for such a thing to happen. So how did the parliament know about them? How did they come up with the idea that he was connected to the Rapapa Bandits?

For all he knew, those guys were hidden in their usual base. They were hiding at the bottom part of the mountain located in the northern part of the empire. In one of the Gentlewind family territories.

.....

And even if the bandits were caught by the parliament, it was impossible that they would sing his name to the parliament. As long as he was here, he could help them with their issues.

Elder Grenn felt the atmosphere started to rise. He took a cloth hidden inside his robe and wiped his face that was starting to sweat.

Right before the parliament officer could open up his mouth again, the door of the chamber was slammed open and five figures walked inside.

“Father!”

“Father!”

Janrui and Jao shouted out at the same time.

“Daughter! Son! What the two of you doing hiiik(He shrieked)-?!”

Elder Grenn promptly questioned the two but his words suddenly shriek and stopped when he noticed the other guest who came together with his son and daughter.

“L-Lady Detty?” Elder Grenn was shocked to see her here. He briefly coughed to hide his shock.

‘This is not good.’ Elder Genn thought. Detty was a smart woman. If ever she sniffed some truth about his involvement with the notorious Rapapa Bandits, his ambition of becoming a patriarch would remain just a dream forever.

They could use it to blackmail his Grenn family.

After Detty went inside, she saw seven people from the parliament. Two of them were high ranking officers. Although they were not as strong as her twin maids, the two of them were at the golden stage also.

She also noticed the abrupt change in the Elder Grenn’s face when he saw her. He seemed scared of something. But it happened only a moment and his face relaxed again after he coughed several times.

“Venerable Sir, my name is Detty Davila, the first daughter of the Davila family, from the main branch of the Gentlewind family.” Detty politely introduces herself.

The parliament people widened their eyes when they saw her. She was not only a polite person but a beautiful woman also. But the parliament could only fantasize about such a woman. If what they heard was true, then this woman was one of the most important people in the whole empire.

The daughter of the main branch family from one of the 13 great families, could also be considered as a princess. She also had a higher chance of becoming the future leader of their great noble family.

“Oh, if I am not mistaken, you are the young genius of the Gentlewind family.” Said an older officer with a surprised look on his face. He really did not expect to find such an influential person in the empire.

“And you are?” Detty replied with a question. She really did not expect that someone would know her.

After graduating from the academy, her life revolved around family matters and had no time to go out with friends. Falling in love? Dating? Going out with friends? All of these were not applicable to those who were on the top. What they needed was power, great minds, and resources.

“Oh, sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Guwang Ho. From the Ho family,” said the officer.

‘Ho family? Hmm... the Ho family is a noble family who had great connections to the royal family. After all, one of their family leaders was one of the ministers of the emperor.’ Detty slightly frowned.

And this person in front of her was an officer. So this person could not be belittled.

“Good to know you, Mr. Guwang Ho. If it is not a bother, may I know the exact reason that you come here tonight?” Detty immediately took the initiative of asking. She really was not afraid of whoever was the opposite person. But she had to be respectful somehow.

Guwang Ho paused for a moment, then he opened his mouth, “We came here for Elder Grenn, he was accused of being the protector of the infamous Rapapa Bandits.” Guwan Ho went into the details directly.

“Wha-?!” Detty was stunned.

“No its a lie!” Elder Grenn growled.

“Mr. Ho, is this a baseless accusation?” Detty questioned Guwang Ho.

“No, actually, it’s not only a simple accusation. The leader of the Rapapa Bandits himself was the one who sang the Elder Grenn’s involvement.” Guwang Ho replied calmly.

Detty’s face twitched and Elder Grenn’s face turned pale. He could not believe it! So they caught that guy?! Fuck! When did those fools go out from their hiding place? He already told them that they could only come out after he signaled it.

“Father is this true?!” Janrui asked her father worriedly.

“Of course not, my beloved daughter, I am sure someone had planned to stain my name! Tsk, whoever was doing it, I will come back to them with a slap on their faces.” Elder Grenn roared.

“Sorry, Edler Grenn, but per as the empire’s law, we must detain you for a day, if the accuser had no way to back up their claims or if you presented your innocence from this issue, we will promise to release you right away.” Said the younger officer with a well-built body.

“Shit, why must I do that? It was clear as day that that bandit was paid by our enemy family to destroy my name!” Elder Grenn strongly denied and glanced at Detty.

Detty was contemplating. She really felt something was not right at this. But if the parliament could not present a strong proof of Elder Grenn’s involvement in this issue. They could not detain him. However, before Detty could open her mouth.

“Sorry, Elder Grenn, but he had this proof,” Guwang Ho presented a piece of paper.

Detty immediately took it and read. Her eyes widened from what she had read. It was a transaction. With Elder Grenn’s sign on it. No doubt about it.

When he saw the familiar paper, from his face down to his back he had started to sweat. Now he finally felt nervous. He also noticed the grim face of Detty.

‘This idiot!’ Detty roared inside. She can’t save him.

“Father?!” Janrui cried out.

“Elder Grenn, you are a shameful member of the family. With this, I will report this unjust behavior of yours to the highest leader of the family. Mr. Ho, please take him.” Detty said coldly. Now their only choice was to comply with the parliament’s demand. If not, the whole Gentlewind family would be endangered. She could not let it happen just because of one elder.

When Elder Grenn heard Detty’s cold words, his eyes balled.

“No, don’t take my father!” Jao growled.

“Detty? What are you talking about?!” Janrui questioned Detty’s sudden decision. But Detty remained quiet. Her priority was not the branch family only. As a daughter of the main house with the highest possibility of succeeding in the patriarchal position, she should make a sensible decision, which was for the better of the entirety of their family.

Elder Grenn was fuming with anger. He would certainly silent those fools later.
