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 daughterâs birthday.
(My wife never removes her ring, and my daughter loves hair ornaments ⊠No way!)
The worst scene comes to mind, and Douglasâs face is distorted.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the ring and hair ornament are the ones from Douglasâ memory.
At least neither has blood.
Judging from that, it seems that it was not forcibly stolen.
That said, it didnât provide anything to Douglas.
Because Douglas isnât a fool and it doesnât make sense that those items are in the box he received from Baron Mikoshiba.
Why are you so silent?
Douglas slowly opened his mouth.
âI see ⊠is this your way âŠâ
Douglasâs hands quiver.
The anger and hatred slowly rise in Douglasâs heart.
It wouldâve felt so much better to punch the table, but he couldnât.
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.
âWhy did you do this ⊠Iâm sure I didnât take advantage of you while I received the money, but ⊠my wife and daughter are not guilty ⊠irrelevant ⊠right?â
With his face down, Douglas tries to calm down.
Both hands, which were holding Douglasâ 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.
âIn this world, itâs common sense that a child pays off a parentâs debt, but ⊠was it my misunderstanding ⊠in fact, have you lived according to that logic? Donât change your logic when itâs inconvenient for you ⊠Hey, Douglas Hamilton. â
Douglas choked on Ryomaâs question.
âWell, that is âŠâ
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 wasnât fun, and it was certainly a role I didnât want to do if possible.
In particular, the appearance of a mother begging for her childâs 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 âŠ)
Douglas couldnât 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 donât pay their debts have their children pay the debt.
And this idea isnât 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.
Itâs a common story in the story.
However, it is certain that the sweet temptation of revenge will shake peopleâs hearts.
Especially, if there is a difference between the other party and your position âŠ
