The Return of the Destruction-Class Death Knight Episode 127
Episode 127: Unwelcome Guest (2)
“What kind of insignificant person is that to be the son-in-law of our family?”
His mother slapped Damien on the shoulder. Damien protested with a displeased look on his face.
“It’s true. Compared to you, I have so many shortcomings.”
“He’s kind, has a good personality, is honest, and is dependable. What’s the problem?”
Despite his mother’s nagging, Damien’s discontent did not go away.
His father and mother were of the opinion that as long as he had a good personality, it didn’t matter, but Damian was different.
I thought that the personality had to be good, but that other factors had to be considered as well.
“I’ll go see my sister for a moment.”
“Hey! Damien!”
Before his mother could stop him, Damien disappeared.

Damien arrived in front of the instrument room in the blink of an eye.
It was thanks to the fact that I had become familiar with the structure of the castle when preparing the celebration party.
“Louise, when I listen to you play, my soul feels purified.”
“You too… … Do you think I would like it if you said something you didn’t mean?”
“I mean it. Your playing is so beautiful.”
As I approached the instrument room, I heard two people laughing.
One was the voice of his older sister, Louise. And the other was… … .
‘I get annoyed just hearing your voice.’
When he heard the voice of Ballad Hugo, Damien felt his insides boil.
People you don’t like tend to look hateful no matter what they do.
He couldn’t leave the two of them alone any longer. Damien opened the door to the instrument room wide and went inside.
Then Louise and Ballard appeared sitting side by side in front of the piano.
“oh?”
“huh?”
The two looked back at Damien with surprised faces.
“Damian!”
Louise came running, smiling brightly. She looked around Damien’s body.
“You came back safely! Did everything go well at the school?”
“Yes, nothing happened. How are you, Sister?”
“I’m always the same.”
Louise said with a faint smile. Ballad Hugo approached from behind Louise.
“That’s right! Damien, say hello. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a ballad!”
“Damian, I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve seen your face like this!”
Ballad Hugo extended his hand with a welcoming face. Damien took his hand with a crooked face.
Louise’s appearance was unparalleled in all the West.
It’s because she doesn’t have many external activities, but if her appearance had been known even a little, the title of Best Beauty in the West would have gone to Louise, not Olivia.
On the other hand, Ballad Hugo was a country bumpkin with no match.
He was wearing old, shabby clothes and black, out-of-date glasses. His bushy hair covered his forehead and eyes, giving him a disheveled look.
You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but Damien felt that Louise needed someone better to be her match for her to be happier.
Compared to her, isn’t her appearance far behind?
“I’ve heard a lot about you. I heard you’re very active. Our city is also bustling with your name.”
Ballard was working as an official in a port city called Ocean.
The city of Ocean was located quite far from here.
So, even though Louise and Ballard were engaged, they couldn’t meet often.
‘My sister’s fiancé is just a bureaucrat… … .’
I don’t know if he was a high-ranking official, but Ballard was just a low-ranking official. I knew that his salary wasn’t that much.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t get along with my older sister.’
Damien didn’t like the ballad Hugo. No matter how he looked at it, he felt sorry for Louise.
It was just that Louise truly loved Ballad, so she didn’t oppose their relationship.
Deep down, Louise was hoping that she would meet someone better.
“Oh, Sister. I have a gift for you.”
Damien took the bracelet out of the box and held it out. Louise looked at it with a curious expression.
“It is a sacred object that protects the body from external threats, so you should always carry it with you.”
“You’re giving me something this precious? After all, you’re the only one who can give it to me, my little brother.”
Louise happily accepted the bracelet and put it on her wrist.
“A holy relic… … It’s truly amazing.”
“Would you like to see it too?”
Louise held out a bracelet to Ballard. Ballard looked at it with a curious expression.
‘Why are you playing with the gift I gave to you, sister?’
Damien looked at such behavior with a face that was jealous.
“Excuse me.”
At that moment, a maid came into the instrument room and spoke to the three people.
“My wife asked me to tell Master Damien that it has been a long time since he came, and that we should all come together for tea.”
“Okay, I’ll be out soon.”
At Louise’s words, the maid bowed her head and left the instrument room.

“Ballad, would you like to go first? I need to talk to Damien for a moment.”
“Okay. I’ll tell Mom in advance that you two will be late.”
“thank you.”
Louise saw Ballad off with a smiling face. But as soon as Ballad disappeared, her face became serious.
It was completely different from Louise’s always bright appearance. Damian asked Louise with a worried face.
“Sister, is something wrong?”
“That’s right… … Sigh.”
Louise let out a deep sigh. It was the first time she had seen her sister’s complexion so gloomy.
“Sit down first. Your legs must hurt.”
Louise led Damien to a table on one side of the instrument room.
“Actually, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is going on?”
Louise was unable to speak even in response to Damien’s question.
“That’s right… … As you know, ballads are extremely popular.”
It was the first time Damien had heard of this. That country bumpkin was popular with the ladies?
“That’s why I was so worried when I sent Ballad to Ocean City. The other women wouldn’t leave Ballad alone.”
“Sister, no matter how much I think about it, that doesn’t seem right. Who on earth would like a man like that… .”
“I think Ballad has another woman.”
Crunch.
The corner of the table that Damian was holding broke.
It wasn’t just shattered into pieces. It was completely turned into dust and fell to the ground.
‘How dare you leave my sister behind… … and call her another woman?’
Even though he was already in a situation where he felt like he was going to die because he cared so much for Louise, he met another woman without even knowing his place?
This was an act that Damien could never tolerate. He had to catch Ballard and punish him immediately.
“Oh, it’s not certain yet, so calm down!”
A flustered Louise calmed Damian down, but Damian’s murderous intent did not subside.
“That burr… … how did you come to doubt the ballad?”
“Do you remember when I went to Ocean City to meet Ballad last time?”
Damien searched his memory. When the dungeon of the corpse play was discovered, Louise was away from the estate to meet Ballard.
“Did you see something then?”
Louise nodded at Damien’s question.
“Originally, when I came near the city, he would come out to greet me. But when I got to the meeting place, Ballard was nowhere to be seen.”
“So how did you act?”
“I kept waiting. So you must have been running late. I heard that something came up suddenly and you were late.”
Damien took a deep breath.
I felt an urge to run over and trample on her right now, for daring to break her promise to my older sister.
“After that, I found a place to stay and asked him what time he wanted to go on a date. But he avoided me by saying he had something to do at every time I asked… … .”
At those words, a vein appeared on his forehead.
Isn’t that what you mean when your heavenly sister came all the way to Ocean City and you left her behind?
“We made a difficult appointment and met… … but then I suddenly received a note from a man and he left, saying something had come up.”
Suddenly, my teeth chattered. I wanted to smash Ballad’s face right now.
I could barely hold back because Louise hadn’t finished speaking yet.
“If it was just this, I would have let it go… … One time, when Ballad was working, I went to visit him to pack his lunch.”
“no way…….”
“But since he wasn’t there, I asked other people. When I did, he said that he had gone out with another woman a long time ago… … .”
Damien grabbed the back of his neck. His blood pressure was soaring that he couldn’t listen any longer.
“Sister, you don’t need to say anything more.”
“Uh, yeah? What?”
“I will catch that kid and interrogate him right now.”
“Huh, huh?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make you confess the whole truth.”
Damian opened a subspace and took out a hexagonal club. Louise’s eyes widened as she saw it.
“Hey, Damien, what the heck is that… … ?”
“It’s a very useful conversation tool.”
“That, that’s a means of communication?”
“This is the friend who changed even the once rotten Prince Oliver. The effect is certain, so you don’t have to worry.”
Damien sat up, his grip on the club tightening.
“Then, Sister, I will go and come back. If you wait just one hour, I will cut off that bastard’s arms and legs… … No, I will bring you the truth.”
“Ah, I only have a hunch! It’s not certain, so calm down!”
Louise hurriedly grabbed Damian. At his sister’s persuasion, Damian had no choice but to sit back down on the chair.
“So, is it just my imagination? I want to check if it’s true… … I want you to follow in the footsteps of the ballad with me… … .”
“If that’s a request, then of course I have to grant it.”
“Really? After all, there’s no one better than our little brother!”
Louise smiled brightly and hugged Damian. Damian thought to himself as he lay in his sister’s arms.
‘I was hoping my sister would meet someone better… … This is a good thing.’
They were just giving him an excuse. Damien had no intention of missing this opportunity.
‘I will definitely give you evidence.’
Damien felt his motivation burning inside.
