I Am No King's

Chapter 231 – Promise

Tok

"Lake in!"

I screamed from behind the table, letting anyone knock on the door.

It has been three days since Mari was buried. Operation Hurrian went well. He'll live. However, I'm not sure if half-paralyzed is still alive.

Right now, I'm in the office, alone. Despite wanting to grieve over Mari's death and the tragedy that befell Hurrian, I still have many jobs and enemies. There are still Quetzal, Orion, and Ukin. Besides, I also need to find Weidner and Shanna immediately. I don't want their lives lost because of my delay.

I read all the documents on the Quetzal and Orion movement. Apparently, the opposition alliance had run aground because Quetzal acquired the vital building of Apollo. And, although, perhaps, Quetzal actually did because of personal problems with Apollo, Orion could not trust the organization that stabbed his partner in the back.

On the other hand, I have not received any information about the movements of Ukin, Maila, and Fahren. The last I heard was when Ukin sent a courier to declare a truce. In fact, I had thought that they would use Fahren to subvert my position and save Empress Rahayu who seemed to be held hostage. Seemed.

"Gin, man,"

Yuan opened the door. He was seen holding a thick report.

I'm sorry Yuan, I've given you Apollo's asset-sharing and paternity hospital indemnity work.

"Please don't apologize. This is my job as your assistant."

"....I didn't say anything."

"I can see it from your face."

Huh huh? Did ya? I'm pretty sure I've put up a poker face. This woman, Yuan, is almost as sharp as Emir, Inanna, and Mulisu. He has only known me for two months? Or three months? I don't know. In essence, he knew the shortest but was already able to read what was hidden behind my poker face.

"Okay, we ignore that. So, what's up?"

"Someone wants to see you. And, I think, you should take it."

He could actually read my mind intending to reject this uninvited guest. If it was like this, it would be impossible for me to reject it.

"alright. Let him in."

Yuan stepped aside and held the door.

From the door, there was a long black-haired teenage girl figure braided to the side. Wearing a light blue V-neck T-shirt with a long skirt. Truly pure-looking, pure, and rare-looking appearance. I wonder when was the last time I saw a woman look like this.

"I've already placed an order on OB to make drinks and deliver them here." Yuan turned his gaze to the woman. "I'm sorry, I had to go."

"Ah, yes. Thank you very much, Mom."

I could see Yuan's temple twitching. However, he did not say anything and left the room. Apparently, he was surprised, and disturbed, by being called Ma'am.

"Sorry, am I interrupting."

I stood up from the chair and moved to the sofa. "Ah, it's okay. Just relax. Please sit on the couch."

Actually, yes, you're disturbing. But somehow, I can't say it. The presence of this woman felt so familiar. But I don't know his face. Who is this woman?

The two of us sat face to face, separated by a low glass table.

"So, what's up? Or maybe, sorry, do I know you?"

The woman smiled wryly, "it seems that Hanna's speech was correct. Brother Lugalgin hasn't checked on me since the facial surgery was over. Or should I call her Mari?"

As soon as this woman said that, I understood why her presence felt so familiar. He was one of Sargon's orphanage children. And, as he said, after facilitating them for facial surgery and creating a new identity, I did not meet him again, giving us some distance so that he would not be dragged into other problems.

All I could do was hire an informant to find out and use the courier service to send him money every month.

"I heard Apollo was destroyed. And, Weidner and Shanna were also dead, along with the news that one of the Agade elite members was killed."

I didn't hear all this woman's words. My ears stopped being active when he said Weidner and Shanna were also dead. Is it not wrong?

And, apparently, this time, I was unable to maintain a poker face.

"From Kak Lugalgin's reaction, it seems, Mari has kept her promise to stem all information regarding Weidner and Shanna. Honestly, I don't know if I should be happy or worried about seeing this."

Wait up! Withholding information on Weidner and Shanna? Let's promise to do that? Wh why?

I looked down and covered my face with both hands. Right now, I feel so ashamed and guilty. I can't see this woman in front of me.

"Apollo...are you Lili?"

"Yes, right...."

Yep. Of the children discovered, only Lili had a relationship with Apollo. The organization he was in said they got Lili for a bargain from someone at Apollo. And that someone is...

"What makes you incapable of having offspring...is Weidner and Shanna?"

"Actually, what made me incapable of having offspring, and selling me, was Shanna. Weidner's..." Lili was silent for a moment. "He took my virginity and fucked me many times."

In that instant, my body felt so stiff. In a way, I want to get angry at Weidner and Shanna. On the one hand, I feel so sad for what happened to Lili. I did not expect that the one who took Lili's virginity and fucked her many times was Weidner, her own orphanage's first friend.

And, apparently, both Lili and Mari knew that I was desperately trying to find the children of the orphanage. And, I can guess this is also what makes Mari block information about Weidner and Shanna. And, perhaps, this was also what made Mari want to kill Weidner and Shanna with her own hands.

Let's protect me from the fact that the person I'm looking for is the one who hurt Lili. In other words, indirectly, I was the one who had made Hurrian half-paralyzed. I killed Mari. Yeah, it's all my fault.

My fault.

"It's not Lugalgin's fault!"

Suddenly Lili held both my hands and opened them, forcing me to look at her face. Without me noticing, he had already lowered his body in front of me.

"Sister Lugalgin, this is not the fault of Brother Lugalgin. In fact, actually, Brother Lugalgin has no obligation to look for all of us."

"A, what do you mean? Of course I have that obligation. You all are–"

"We are only orphans, without a father, without a mother, without relatives. We are nobody. And, what befell us is a common thing to happen to these royal orphans. I've realized. All of us who are victims are aware of it. We're not special. We are just one of the many commodities of this kingdom."

"No! You are not commodities! You have given me a home, where I feel welcome, calm, and safe...."

"Sister Lugalgin..."

My words began to fall apart, "you were the first to give me peace and security. You're the one who made me know what real home means. You guys, not my parents, but you. You're the first."

Without being able to stand it, tears flowed. In the last few days, this is the third time I have cried. I'm not sure I still have the dignity of being a man, let alone the leader of the Agade.

You, the children and caretaker of Sargon orphanage, are the only reason why I am willing to live to this day. Although I have already said that I want to protect and protect Emir and Inanna, in the end, I realize that you are the most important person for me.

"Sir Lugalgin,"

Lili grabbed my body, hugged me. He didn't dunk my face into his chest like Emir and Inanna did. Lili hugged and rested her head on my chest. No face, just head.

"Sister Lugalgin, we are all very grateful that Brother Lugalgin has regarded us as such. We also thank you for all this time Brother Lugalgin did not give up looking for us. We are really grateful. I'm really grateful that Brother Tasha brought Brother Lugalgin back then."

"Lilly....."
