I Am No King's
Chapter 144 – Yarmuti Alhold
"Anu, Gin, if I may ask," Emir got into the conversation. "What makes Yarmuti experience all that? I meani. He should be stronger than me, right? Why would the Alhold family be able to give him such a severe wound?"
I looked at the Emir for a moment, then threw a glance at Mulisu. I don't know what to say.
"Well...." Mulisu sighed. "Emir, I and Lugalgin know all the past of the Agade members we saved. So, we were able to figure out each member's greatest trauma and fear. Well, of course, with the exception of Lugalgin not knowing my past, and vice versa."
This time, all the Agade members immediately looked towards Mulisu.
"Don't forget," I reminded the Agade members. "We have a rule not to discuss one's past unless that person tells it himself. So, if there's a moment where me or Mulisu don't put you down on one job, even if it seems simple, like looking after my house, just know we're actually thinking about your past."
When I heard my words, the members lowered their heads. They no longer looked at Mulisu or me.
"Ibla," I gave the cover. "I won't take over Agade just because of one mistake. One mistake cannot take away all the good you have done. But, remember! In the future you should buy carefully."
"Good! Ii'm sorry. And, thank you, Gin."
I, along with Emir and Mulisu, entered the room, looking directly at Yarmuti's condition. Inside, there was already a short male with short hair and black eyes. Ur stood beside the doctor who was cleaning his equipment, preparing to leave.
I saw Yarmuti who was still closing his eyes. An oxygen mask is placed on the face. His left hand was also pierced with an infusion needle. However, because Yarmuti's life is not threatened, there is no heart rate detector.
"I can just come bring the bill in the morning. My clients are so many today."
"Yes, thank you doc," Ur responded quickly to the doctor.
"I'm just running a business."
Ur closed the door as soon as the doctor left the room. Before Ur closed the door, I saw Simurrum come forward to deliver the doctor out.
"So, is it true that I concluded Yarmuti came from the Alhold family?"
Only the Emir was jolted when he heard Ur's conjecture. Me and Mulisu were not surprised at all because we already knew.
Seeing from the incident this time, where Yarmuti was injured so badly even though he was only fighting the Alhold family, already gave a very clear clue. However, another almost inevitable proof is Yarmuti's flat chest, a hallmark of women born into the Alhold family.
"Yes, you're right" I replied Ur.
"In other words, perhaps, Yarmuti panicked when faced with the Alhold family. It was her trauma and fear in the past that caused her to panic. This resulted in his fighting ability decreasing drastically. If Yarmuti panics, I can guess his own family sold him to the Cleinhad family. Is my guess right?"
"No," I answered Ur. "Not wrong. It's true that his own family sold Yarmuti."
More precisely, the Alhold family other than Yarmuti's mother. You could say, the fate of Yarmuti is somewhat similar to mine. His father was planless, not daring to refute the orders of the head of the family. Only his mother was the one who desperately defended Yarmuti.
However, his mother was careless. One day, he finds that Yarmuti is no more. When Alhold's family had sold Yarmuti to the Cleinhad family, his mother took her own life. The tragic thing is, his father remarried, knitting a new family together, as if his old wife and Yarmuti never existed.
And, as it turns out, Yarmuti is not the only child of the Alhold family to experience this. When I investigated Yarmuti's past, I found that the Alhold family often did just that. Any child with generic controls would be sold to the Cleinhad family, leaving behind special and talented children.
I was not sold by the Alhold family because before Ninlil's control rose, I was the one who would take the position of head of the Alhold family. However, when Ninlil's control rose, mother already had the power and strength that the Alhold family could not afford to sell me to the Cleinhad family. So, you could say, the Alhold family was late.
"Then, Gin, why doesn't she panic around you? You're the Alhold family too, right?"
"It's normal for you to think that way. And, yeah. At the beginning, he was scared when he found out I was from the Alhold family." I answered Ur.
"Yarmuti calmed down when he learned that Lugalgin was an incompetent" Mulisu added. "At that time, I knew nothing about Lugalgin. So, I'm just saying Lugalgin lives as an enemy of the Alhold family. And again, Yarmuti said that he could not be afraid of the person who had saved him. He also tried to ventured to get closer to Lugalgin."
Once again, I heard Mulisu pushing the responsibility on me. I did not save them all. I saved them at Mulisu's request. If Mulisu doesn't ask for it, I won't save them.
"Well, that's it." I'm closing this conversation. "From now on, Yarmuti cannot go to the front line either as an information collector or as a fighter. He's only allowed to work as an administrative and paperwork party."
"We agree."
Ur and Mulisu answered me simultaneously.
"Then I and the Emir go first. You guys take care of Yarmuti."
Me and the Emir left the room. When I left the room, I found Ninmar examining the wound on Ibla's face.
"Schedule work as usual. What I didn't show you to go to intelligence, you guys stay here and look after Yarmuti."
"Good!"
They answered compactly and loudly.
There are sick people, you know. Why can't you just answer normally? Why do I have to be loud? Well, nevermind. That's not important.
On the way back home, I thought of something else. I think the other reason the agent I hired the Alhold family was because of the business relationship that Alhold had with Cleinhad. I have to investigate this deeper.
I've stopped the investigation into Tasha's death because I used to think of her as just one of the Cleinhad victims. However, some of the data I have obtained since serving as the head of intelligence indicates something else.
I haven't come to a full conclusion and data relationship. However, I cannot dispose of the possibility that the children of the orphanage were sold by the Cleinhad family at the request of the Alhold family.
The reason why the Alholds asked Tasha to be sold? Maybe they wanted to take revenge on me because I was already out of their reach. If until my guess is right, then, indirectly, you could say I was the one who caused Tasha's death.
Well, I wouldn't mind if one of the orphanage kids came to me and blamed me. In fact, if they asked me to kill myself, I wouldn't mind. However, if this conjecture is true, before committing suicide, I will have to clean up the Alhold family, including father.
