I Am No King's
Chapter 154 – Persuasion pt 2
~Lugalgin's POV~
"Shu En, if you and the people who signed the letter want me to resign, just say so. It means nothing if no one wants me here, right? Instead of spending time on intelligence, I'd rather be quiet, relax at home."
I said all of that calmly and casually. No load.
Nah! Not just without burden! But if that really happened, I would be happy. I can resign from this position and live a quiet life.
But, of course, I didn't show it to my face. My face remained flat, without change.
"Big sister," Jin called out, forcing me and Shu En to look at her. "Don't forget he is Sarru who destroyed one of the six pillars single-handedly. And, he's also cleared a family in intelligence, right? I think it would be wiser if you didn't make him an enemy."
"..."
Well, why did this man threaten Shu En instead. In fact, if it were smooth, I might be able to make Shu En express his objection. I can claim the intelligence situation is out of my control and it would be better if Fahren stopped me.
"Gin, I want you to answer this honestly."
"Yes?" I turned back to face the front, to Shu En.
"Are you the one who slaughtered the Cleinhad family?"
Oookayyy, that's a little bit unexpected.
However, if people are willing to use their wits, especially after being given the fact that I destroyed one of the six pillars single-handedly and just cleaned up one family, then the conclusion reached by Shu En is normal.
Do I have to confirm it? Or lie and reject Shu En's conjecture?
"If I said no, would you believe me?"
Shu Eng shook his head.
"You already have the answer."
Shu En did not respond further. She's speechless.
I will leave Shu En with her thoughts. In the meantime, I'm gonna stop Marlien's stupidity.
"Marlien, for the record, the founder and supreme leader of Akadia is a person close to me. And, he knows that I am Sarru. Why don't you wonder why he would cooperate with the royal intelligence just like that?"
Marlien was silent with her mouth open. His eyes widened next to each other, wandering throughout the room. Apparently, he just realized the possibility of my words. I don't know exactly how high Marlien's position is. If the position is still too low, there is a possibility that he does not know that the mother is the founder and leader of Akadia.
In fact, I don't know if there's anyone else in Akadia, other than mother, who knows that I'm Sarru.
"Sorry, my position is still not high enough, so I have never met the supreme leader."
Marlien reinserted his knife and stood up straight. He instantly changed his attitude when he heard me pronounce the supreme leader.
"Can I call? I want to make sure first."
I raise my hand, "please."
"Gin!"
"Yes?"
I turned my eyes to Shu En when he called.
"Did Emir and Inanna know about this?"
"Know? They had even become members of the Elite Agade."
Shu En. He didn't seem to believe my answer.
Well, actually, I can't really say that they are members of the Elite Agade. Inanna and Emir have never been on a mission as Agade members. Because of many things, in the past few months, they have acted more often as members of royal intelligence.
Hells. Even Inanna, who was supposed to be Gugalanna's agent, I was hired as the kingdom's intelligence. Since Arid and Fahren don't protest, I assume they'll allow it. No. gabe. More precisely, I don't care. Even if one protested, I would just step back from this position.
Ah, I should also say this to Shu En.
"Ah, Shu En, actually–"
"If Emir and Inanna are members of the Agade elite, then the instructor you are carrying is a member of Agade as well, right?"
"I.YES.YES....."
"So, actually, what's your goal in accepting the intelligence chief's position? Do you feel guilty for killing the Cleinhad family."
"I told you that the one who forced this position on me was Fahren. Actually, I don't want it at all. However, at the very least, by becoming the head of intelligence I was able to obtain information more easily. I can find victims of child trafficking committed by the Cleinhad family.
"And, no, I don't feel guilty at all. The Cleinhad family kidnapped my loved ones and made them slaves ****. Not only that, he sold the children who had given me a home. So, again, I reiterate, I don't feel guilty at all."
"...sorry."
Unbeknownst to me, I've said it all quickly and on a high note. Damnit damnit!
I turned around for a moment, took a deep breath and exhaled. I need to calm down. I can't let emotions rule my mind.
Shu En was silent. He held his left shoulder. His body looks like it is shrinking.
When the Cleinhad family was in charge of royal intelligence, one of the perks that the schneider agents had gained was that the family would never be sold without the permission of the concerned. In fact, for people who are involved or know the black market, this is the only safeguard for their families.
On the other hand, when the Cleinhad family was destroyed, the guarantee was no longer there. Since the supply of children has stopped, the black market can do anything to anyone. In other words, ever since the Cleinhad family was destroyed, Shu En and the other schneider agents were much more worried because there were no more guarantees.
And, now, the person who had destroyed the Cleinhad family, the source of Shu En's worries, stood before him. But still, he cannot be angry. He can't just hate me.
Shu En must have realized that I would now be Shu En if I lost her son. He did not dare to refute my words because he realized he would do the same if his son, took revenge on the responsible party.
"Jin" I asked. "Did Ukin also mention that I killed the Cleinhad family?"
"Yes. He also mentioned it. In fact, he had said Apollo and Orion were against you is ironic considering they could ignore the transaction quota thanks to the destruction of the Cleinhad family, which is your service."
Cih, that guy's mouth is all there is.
"Sorry, excuse me," Marlien interrupted our conversation. "I've got confirmation that the top leadership has found out. And, apparently, that's the main reason Akadia is working with you, to avoid a feud with Agade. Therefore, I express a great apology."
Marlien knelt down and right hand pressed against the chest, palm grabbing the left shoulder. This gesture was carried out by the nobility to express a deep apology to the party who had offended.
Normally, the gesture of apology was only done for people with higher degrees. And, right now, without me knowing Marlien already thinks I'm taller than her Count.
"No problem. I forgive you."
"Thank you,"
If I don't confirm, Marlien will continue to kneel.
"So, the last one is you, Shu En. In this room only you haven't confirmed."
"Gin, can you give security to my family?"
"Unfortunately I can't. I haven't gotten cooperation from all the black market organizations." I refused Shu En's request.
When I heard my answer, Shu En lowered his head.
I added, "but I can promise that if anything happens to your family, I'll clean up the family and hunt down everyone she's ever been in contact with. It doesn't matter if he's a member of the six pillars or the royal family."
