Chapter 21

Due to Guild Master Act's efforts, the former noble lady Katrina was rescued.

After that, what about Zalchim...

"Damn it! Let me out of here! Do you know who I am!?"

He was locked up in a cell in the knights' quarters.

Due to the physical evidence Act submitted, he was arrested for attempted murder and assault.

"I'm Zalchim! A proud imperial noble! Damn it! To be put in a place like this, a pigsty!"

Zalchim lashed out at the knight standing guard outside the cage.

"My father will come and release me soon. With my father's power, it's easy to get all of you, the country's lackeys, fired!"

This man showed no sign of remorse at all.

"Yeah, with my father's power, it's easy to ruin a nobody guild master socially. Just wait, Act...! I'll definitely eliminate you! Be prepared...!"

...That was as far as he could get carried away.

Later.

"Zalchim. I am banishing you from this house."

Zalchim's father appeared in front of the cell and said this to his son.

"F-Father... What did you just say...?"

"I said I will banish you from the house and act as if you never existed. Foolish son."

The father sighed deeply and looked at his son with disdain.

"I don't understand... More importantly, get me out of here quickly! And get rid of that stupid guild master!"

"Stupid fool!"

"Ah...!"

Shouted at by his father, Zalchim collapsed on the spot.

"Who do you think you're defying!"

"Who... Just a guild master, right?"

"Do you not know the unwritten rule in society, 'Do not oppose Act Age'? What an ignorant fool."

Zalchim was only confused.

"What are you talking about, Father? The other party is just a commoner, right?"

"...Act has influence both domestically and internationally. There are countless important figures connected to him. If I oppose Act, our family will likely lose our noble status."

"To that extent... He has that much power?"

Zalchim learned for the first time that Act was a stronger figure socially than his father.

"I will act as if you never existed from the beginning. This is to protect the family. Zalchim, disappear."

"A, ahaha... No, Father... You're joking, right...? Right? ...Right. Right!"

Zalchim, in a panic, clung to the iron bars and pounded on them.

"Why! What have I done wrong!?"

Abandoning a woman and hurting her didn't seem to be considered wrong by Zalchim at all.

"...Enough. The thought of you being my son makes me sick."

Turning on his heel, the father started to leave.

"Wait, Father! Father!"

Zalchim, wailing, reached out through the iron bars, trying to stop his father.

"I'll repent! I won't touch Act again! Please don't abandon me! I beg you!"

"It's too late. Farewell, foolish son. Go and die wherever you end up."

The father said this and left without a glance back.

"No! Noooooo!"
