Volume 6, Chapter 6 Episode 37 [Pleasure] Part 3

Inside the box was a ring and hair accessory.

Both were familiar to Douglas.

No, it’s not something I’m familiar with.

The ring was a gift Douglas gave to his wife when he got married, and the hair accessory was a gift he bought to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.

(My wife never removes her ring, and my daughter loves hair ornaments … No way!)

The worst scene comes to mind, and Douglas’s face is distorted.

However, if you look closely, you can see that the ring and hair ornament are the ones from Douglas’ memory.

At least neither has blood.

Judging from that, it seems that it was not forcibly stolen.

That said, it didn’t provide anything to Douglas.

Because Douglas isn’t a fool and it doesn’t make sense that those items are in the box he received from Baron Mikoshiba.

Why are you so silent?

Douglas slowly opened his mouth.

“I see … is this your way …”

Douglas’s hands quiver.

The anger and hatred slowly rise in Douglas’s heart.

It would’ve felt so much better to punch the table, but he couldn’t.

It was a natural feeling of a man whose family was taken hostage.

However, there is no sympathy coming from Ryoma.

No, far from sympathy, it is hostility and contempt that is directed at Douglas.

For those who serve Ryoma, Douglas is nothing more than a sinner who has taunted his master.

“Why did you do this … I’m sure I didn’t take advantage of you while I received the money, but … my wife and daughter are not guilty … irrelevant … right?”

With his face down, Douglas tries to calm down.

Both hands, which were holding Douglas’ knees, were quivering as if trying to suppress his anger.

In fact, it is a figure that invites mercy.

However, the man named Ryoma Mikoshiba is not so nice.

“In this world, it’s common sense that a child pays off a parent’s debt, but … was it my misunderstanding … in fact, have you lived according to that logic? Don’t change your logic when it’s inconvenient for you … Hey, Douglas Hamilton. “

Douglas choked on Ryoma’s question.

“Well, that is …”

In fact, it is a common story in aristocratic societies that the sins of parents spread to their children.

Douglas himself, as a bailiff belonging to the House of Lords, has also undertaken the role of watching over several people get executed.

Most are old people and adolescents.

But there were other children as well.

Some of them were children who could be called infants.

Of course, it wasn’t fun, and it was certainly a role I didn’t want to do if possible.

In particular, the appearance of a mother begging for her child’s life invites mercy, and it hurts my heart to see it.

In fact, the watchers of the execution table, which includes such children, usually try to get their colleagues to do the deed.

Douglas cannot be free from human emotions.

However, it is an undeniable fact that Douglas was involved in the act of asking the child to settle the crimes committed by the parent.

(This guy is …)

Douglas couldn’t understand what the man with a calm smile in front of me wanted to say.

Have relatives of the sinner atone for their sins.

This way of thinking is a concept and system that has been greatly improved in modern society where individual rights are more important than parent-child relationships.

There is no doubt that debt is something that the person who borrowed money should repay.

However, since ancient times, it has been common sense that parents who don’t pay their debts have their children pay the debt.

And this idea isn’t just about debt.

For example, the same logic applies to grace and revenge.

This is especially true for people who has been to war.

On the contrary, the same can be said for revenge.

It’s a common story in the story.

However, it is certain that the sweet temptation of revenge will shake people’s hearts.

Especially, if there is a difference between the other party and your position …
