Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 78 – STRENGTH FAMILY FIANCEE
Upon awakening from his nightmare, Helios found herself embracing Talia, his beloved fiancee.
Threshed Talia's face that had been flushed like a ripe tomato while feeling all wrong. That's where Helios realized he had done something inappropriate for Talia. Although they were already engaged, Talia had not been lawful to Helios since they had not been married.
Helios immediately let go of the embrace. The two men were in contact with each other far apart and became one of the behavior of each other.
“Sorry, Dik Talia. That..”
“Mas Lou doesn't have to say anything. Talia also understood that earlier Mas Lou was only carried away by dreams.”
“Hahahahahaha. Sorry yes, Dik Talia.”
“Hmm.”
Embarrassed by the cat, the two men tried to steal each other's eyes without intending to be known by the other. But in the end, the gazes of the eyes of the two of them accidentally met each other.
They laugh awkwardly at each other laughing at their own awkward attitude. Both of them are drunk with romance.
“By the way Dik Talia is doing here?”
“Ah, I just wanted to convey to Mas Lou that Mas Lou does not need to be in this dungeon anymore.”
As long as Helios was unconscious under the influence of black magic, Marquess Newman von Growmyerre, Talia's father, did not remain silent. Utilizing his connections with the royal magic academy, he petitioned the holy temple against the attitude of those who had been abusive to someone who was still a suspect of crime.
Not just Marquess Growmyerre, Tius the crown prince with the power of his faction also helped his brother raise objections to the holy temple for degrading the royal family by treating Prince Helios who actually still has the status of a royal family with highly disrespectful treatment is granted the defendant's status arbitrarily without following appropriate procedures.
This is certainly not separated from the role of Alice and Albert who are willing to be witnesses in the arbitrary actions of the representatives of the sacred temple members sent to investigate the case of Prince Helios.
There was a problem with the status of the two of them being born and raised as nobles in the Vlonhard Empire so their testimony was doubtful, but beyond belief, Venia appeared there and dared to fight the dictates of the holy temple.
Given that Venia was still a member of the sacred temple, this was a very bold gesture for her. But apparently, there was not the slightest doubt in Venia's heart to defend Prince Helios.
It was thanks to the efforts of those closest to Helios that, the holy temple eventually issued a memorandum containing condolences to Helios as well as severe sanctions to investigators from the holy temple who were sent to the place for having been disrespectful to the royal family.
Starting with the support of the Talia family, Helios also became powerful in order to protect himself from the arbitrariness of the members of the sacred temple who always treated him as a heretic.
Two weeks later, the investigation into Prince Leon's death was resumed, but this time using the capital's investigators who were completely free from the holy shrine's affiliation.
Due to a lack of evidence, especially with Helios' powerful alibi on an expedition to the monster forest when Leon was attacked, Helios was acquitted of the charges of formally assaulting and killing Prince Leon.
No, the investigation actually concluded that the evidence of Leon's death is still so lacking that for now, the, Leon is still declared a missing person despite all the testimony given by Hestia as the sole survivor of the traumatic event.
Sometime after the state of calm, Helios was again appointed as the temporary leader of the City of Painfinn until there was a further announcement from the King.
It's ironic indeed. In contrast to Tius, the king and queen of the Kingdom of Meglovia were none other than the father and birth mother of Prince Helios himself, he never paid the slightest attention to Helios even after experiencing all these baseless accusations.
Although he did not appear, it seems to have also become one of the causes of deep wounds in the heart of Helios. If it were not for Talia who was by his side at the moment who was always comforting him and strengthening his heart, what kind of despair would Helios suffer from that glassy heart.
***
The first thing that Helios did when he returned to the top government in the city of Painfinn unexpectedly was to release Codi who was confined to the basement cell of the mansion after attempting to assassinate him himself.
“What does this mean, Prince?! Why did you let me stay alive even after trying to pass you off?!”
Instead of answering Codi's question, Helios asked him again.
“Do you still suspect me of being behind the death of Prince Leon?”
Hearing Prince Helios' question, Hestia and Kerrie the rat who were near Codi at the time immediately showed a glare in their eyes as if expressing doubt in their hearts.
“Yes, I still suspect you, Your Highness Prince.” Codi without hesitation answered the question of Prince Helios.
Hestia and Kerrie who were by her side were even instantly startled and started to break out in cold sweat at the uncontrollable actions performed by the Codi.
But beyond their expectations, Helios was not at all angry at all Codi's rude attitude. Instead, the prince smiled gently at them.
“It's good. That's how it's supposed to be. Thus, you will not be affected in the least by anything in finding the true truth.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness Prince. From now on, we both have decided to wander around to find that truth.”
“You won't stay here? Wouldn't there be a greater chance of finding the truth if you stayed here?”
Helios was unknowingly affected by a dream that she believed was only a sleeping flower. However, Leon said in his dream that there was a traitor who lived by Helios' side and that traitor who had killed himself, still could not escape the mind of Helios.
Therefore, Helios also thought that in order for Codi to discover the truth behind Leon's death, it should be easier if Codi stayed here. However, Codi's intention to leave has apparently been unanimous.
But at once Helios found the peculiarity behind the words Codi.
“Both? Aren't you three?”
“Oh, about it..”
“Anu... Let me answer.”
In the middle of the conversation Codi, apparently there was one of the girls who had been with him suddenly cut off the conversation.
“I have decided to leave my old job in order to become a nun under the direction of Mbak Venia.”
It was Kerrie who had made up her mind to become a nun.
