The Daughter of Evil - Volume 1 - Chapter 3.13

Chapter 3: Section 1: Scene 3 
♠ Germaine ~ Lucifenia Kingdom “Bar” ~

“Germaine, how is it? Want another drink?”

I refused York’s urge for me to drink.

Since the day father was killed, I finally got the chance to taste wonderful tasting wine. I once was so fond of wine; every day, I would get a hangover and become a speechless drunk.

I don’t know whether I will be able to drink delicious tasting wine until that day comes.

“You have been drinking less. Previously, you can drink 20 shots but now you can’t even drink 10 shots?”

“…I think you’ve drunk too much.”

By my side, a white-haired girl staring at me interrupted.

“Really? Does Clarith want a glass too?”

“No York, I’m just here to report”

The girl named Clarith said and stepped back. Well, I think we should not let her drink too much for her own good. Previously, she tried to drink and ended up drunk. She was laughing and crying on while moving about. My father, too, would also cry when drunk.

“Keel-san also decided to help our resistance movement”

Business magnate Keel Freesis, he was released from the palace with his family from being imprisoned. Although he’s Elphegort house was burned, it seems that all of his property was successfully transferred.

Clarith was the maid of Keel Freesis’s wife. Keel managed to get in contact with her and today, we finally agreed to give us materials for the resistance.

“I have to thank that “cloaked woman”

York muttered.

Lucky enough we were able to contact Keel. And that York called over that “cloaked woman”… Keel was placed under house arrest; she made contact with him, and thanks to her, we don’t have to be worried about material problems.

“Clarith, I always wanted to ask… do you want to participate in the resistance movement?”

“…….”

I invited her, Clarith just hung her head in silence.

“…I…”

“… I have a friend who killed my most important friend, that evil girl killed. I hate her. I hate the daughter of evil. Hate to the degree of killing her but… I’m just a weak person. Germaine, not only are you powerful, but also have the courage to challenge the ones in power. I’m just a weak person, so… I’m sorry”

Clarith slowly and quietly said. Tears flowed from her eyes.

“… I understand. Never mind, I owe you an apology. What I said was reckless”

“… No”

“Clarith, what do you plan on doing?” Clarith replied head down.

“I want to find a quiet place alone to live in. Keel-san also gave me a place to work”

“Yes… I hope you stay safe”

“Thank you. Germaine… I pray for your revolution”

After giving a stiff smile, Clarith left the bar.

I can’t blame her. Everyone has their own place.

“G-Guests, that won’t work!”

Suddenly, a cry was heard coming from the store owner. It seems to be coming from inside the store, looks like there is a little conflict.

“Why? It’s so difficult to drink alcohol and you intend to get my money?”

“Difficult to drink……? You drink too much!”

Seems to be two guests – a bearded man and a thin man – want to repudiate their wine account. The two men are dressed in magnificent armour, soldiers of the palace?

“Listen well, we are have been protecting since this country’s grandpa! And yet, you want me to give you money… Are you not too shameless?

The Bearded man said proudly.

“As my brother said, you should understand our situation and let us drink for free for the days to come.

The thin man added, smirking.

“The soldiers of the palace are not behaving well”

I muttered. York had a calm face.

“If it is a former Royal Palace soldiers…”

I interjected:

“Lucifenian soldiers, although some are despicable… but all of them must comply with some minimum etiquette. The two them are not soldiers of the palace, but from a group of mercenaries”

“Mercenary… from the Venom Mercenary Group. The report also mentioned them”

—THUMP—

A blunt sound was heard for a moment. The owner was crouched down clutching his stomach.

The bearded man seems to have kicked him. “Let’s go, Zasuko!“

“I understand brother”

The two men satisfied with their drink, made a disgusting smile, ready to walk away.

“…Those Guys!”

York could not help but want to stop them, but I stopped him.

“Calm down York. Although they are not from the regular army, with all of the people in the palace, it’s best not to get into conflict with them”

“But… Germaine…”

“Now, let us be patient… for the time being”

“…”

“We have to go”

“Abhorrent”

Shaking while clenching his fist, York became extremely angry.

Fortunately, the owner did not suffer any injuries. We paid for our drinks and left the bar.
