TL: Zimmings
An incident that resulted in Taylor being imprisoned in Dubblede's dungeon began with the former Duke of Dubblede.
Forcibly imprisoned by his father, he colluded with the temple, seeking help while his father was away. In the process, my mother died and I disappeared.
My father never forgave his predecessors, and he brutally slaughtered his followers, and in the process, Taylor Dubblede became entangled.
As the investigation proceeds, the atrocities that Taylor had done were revealed.
Human experiments, poisoning his siblings who seek the power of his predecessors, also poisoning the families of vassals that went against his predecessors.
Viscount Dubos, who was an investigator at the time, said that he couldn't sleep for days after seeing evidence of Taylor's misdeeds.
If it were any other person, he would have been immediately sentenced to death penalty, but no one could deny that Taylor was a talented person.
'It's also the reason why the emperor couldn't execute Veronica, who almost blew up an entire province.'
An irresistible criminal with intellect, Taylor was eventually imprisoned in Dubblede's dungeon.
And he was released because of my haro allergy…
'It didn't happen in my previous life.'
The reason he was released from my first life was because of Mina.
Mina's poisoning case, which I was accused of.
The brothers, who loved Mina like their own sister, released Taylor for her.
And then Taylor's name became famous again.
Especially with the book "The Black Notebook" by Taylor Dubblede.
So what is that <Black Notebook>?
It was a notebook that recorded the medical knowledge that Taylor, one of the greatest geniuses in history, gained while conducting illegal human experiments in the Empire.
I was able to make the medicine of youth because there was a medical student who made it in my first life, and it is said that the medical student developed medicine of youth by accidently peeking into Taylor's black notebook.
According to the experts, it is a special notebook that contains advanced medical knowledge for about 100 years.
'I have to find it right away.'
Seeing Taylor cured my haro allergy, the notebook must have written the cure.
"He was holding a black notebook in the afternoon. But he didn't take it with him when he entered the room. He would have put it near here. Let's find it!"
Me and my brothers sneakily searched the room.
However, no matter how much we searched, we could not find where the notebook we had seen in the afternoon was.
Desk drawer, none.
Ceiling, none.
Bookcase, none.
Isaac frowned and grumbled.
"Where the hell did this madman put it? Kid, are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Then where is it?"
"Anyway... it's strange. I definitely seen it before I went to the kitchen to get soup pot."
"What?! Did he tell you to bring a soup pot too?!"
"Th-that madman!"
I quickly covered Isaac's mouth with both hands. But Isaac struggled and looked at Henry.
"Henry?"
"Leblaine, is that the pot you brought?"
Turning my head, I saw a large red pot on the table. And underneath that…
"He must be crazy!"
I quickly pushed the pot away, and picked up the notebook lying underneath.
It was the black notebook that Taylor had been jotting down all day.
I patted the leather cover that was slightly distorted by the heat of the pot and hugged it tightly.
"Oh gosh, it has been through a lot."
As I rubbed my cheek against the notebook and muttered softly, Isaac chuckled.
"You seem kinder to the notebook than to people?"
"Because it's as precious as a diamond mine. People aren't diamond mines."
"Then me?"
"...."
As I averted my eyes, Isaac said, "No way, kid…!" I secretly hid behind Henry while holding the black notebook preciously.
"Kid, won't you come here!?"
"Stop it."
I carefully opened the notebook while Isaac tried to catch me, and Henry stopped him.
Isaac said while grunting.
"Sheesh, if I had known this would happen, I would have tied up that madman and beat him up to take the notebook."
"Tying him up and beating are enough for the next time. Leblaine, do you have any information on the haro allergy?"
"...."
"Leblaine?"
Henry narrowed his brows looking at me, who had already hardened.
"What's going on?"
Henry and Isaac came over and looked at what I was reading.
[8/21 Afternoon.
Benedict Isrobin / Burn marks began to appear. Couldn't be healed with elsa tree.
Sheer Moss 3g, Collard 12ml, Elsa Root Powder 4g....]
"If it's Benedict, it's the same name as the man with the tattoo that the kid had seen in the past."
"It's the same one."
At Henry's words, Isaac frowned.
"How do you know that?"
"I investigated his identity. I even found out that he is the second son of the Viscount Isrobin, who disappeared 20 years ago."
I closed the notebook and went up the stairs.
"Where are you going? Hey, kid!"
"Leblaine."
My brothers called me from down the stairs, but I walked silently to Taylor's room on the second floor.
And I, Thump-!!
Kicked his door
Taylor, leaning on the old bed, looked at me. More exactly on the notebook in my hand.
"It won't work. There is nothing about haro allergy in it."
He smiled and continued.
"I want to eat a stew from dawn tomorrow, but put chicken in it-"
I grabbed him by the collar. Taylor's eyes were unusually wide, thinking that I would be quiet if there was no cure for haro allergy in the notebook.
"From now on, I'll ask the question."
"Hey, do you still want her alive?
"Of course. And you will be her companion."
As soon as I finished speaking, the aura appeared on Henry's hand, who came in through the open door, and the aura also reverberated from Isaac's body as he gripped the sword. At that exact moment, the lights outside the window turned on, as Dubblede's coachman and knights were getting off their horses. With a glance, Taylor grasped the situation and raised both hands lightly.
"I surrender. I don't want to die yet."
I released Taylor's collar and looked at him.
***
We sat facing each other and started talking. The knights were around ud, and Dubblede's servants closed the windows and doors, respectively.
"When did you meet Benedict?"
"Ten years ago. An introduction from my ancestors."
"Did you meet him again?"
"After I settled down at this place. He came to me and asked me to heal the wounds from the burns."
I bit my mouth. The man I was looking for all this time was near us. Isaac shouted with a stern face.
"Don't be silly! How does a bastard from the temple get here!"
"Well, wouldn't that be up to you to figure out?"
At Taylor's words, Isaac slammed the table with his palms. Henry, who sat silently with his arms crossed, called, "Isaac." in a low voice.
"Sit down."
"But...!"
"It means that there is a traitor in the family."
Isaac's face hardened.
With my eyes closed, I knocked on the table.
"The fact that Benedict has come to see him at risk means that no ordinary doctor or priest can cure him. If he needs treatment in the future, Taylor, can you call him back?"
Taylor shrugged, neither affirming nor denying.
"I don't know."
"Rather, you'll have to explain why you're looking for him."
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Taylor, who was smiling.
"I think you're mistaken."
"What?"
"I'm not making a request now, I'm giving an order."
Taylor looked into my eyes and smiled softly.
"This is really fun."
"...."
"This adopted child has the same eyes as Theodore."
Taylor patted the cigarette case and raised his eyebrows lightly.
"What are you?"
His eyes darkened.
"You don't look like a 9 years old. Who are you? Why are you looking for Benedict-"
"Do you know the truth about that day?"
"...."
"Hey. I don't care about Deglid's case anymore. Do you know about it?"
"...."
"Now it means that I have the upper hand."
I snatched Taylor's cigarette and continued.
"Let's finish it quickly. I know what a person like you hates the most."
"What is it?"
"You don't want to die, but it doesn't matter if you die. Fun is more important than dying, right? So tell me. Viscount Dubos-!"
Before I started talking to Taylor, I called Viscount Dubos, whom I had brought here via the teleportation device.
"Yes, Lady."
"If I put Taylor Dubblede back in the dungeon now, how long will he be imprisoned?"
"He can die if he wants to. If not-"
Viscount Dubos looked at Taylor with a cold expression. His languid smile disappeared, and his cold nature was revealed. On the other hand, I smiled brightly.
"A life without your brain. You hate it the most"
"...."
"You do know that you're off the hook because of your brain right? That's why my dad let you go."
"... What am I supposed to do?"
I said with a smile.
"First, bring Benedict to me. Second, treat Deglid. And third."
"...."
"Milk."
"What?"
"Milk."
Taylor frowned for a moment, then understood what I meant, opened his mouth and said, "Mi…lk." with a clenched fist as he got up and headed for the kitchen.
"Then you also have to chop the wood. You have to do it fast. I have to leave in the morning."
As Taylor's back twitched, we smiled like a villain.
