In the corridor, in front of the window, Kieran looked at the fountain of the Lander family from afar.
It was late autumn, and the weather was getting colder. The spring water was no longer gushing out, but the statue of the Goddess of Spring Water hugging a water bottle was still as beautiful as ever.
The sculpting of a master was enough to make the sculpture exquisite and perfect.
Kieran stared at the statue.
Lat's introduction appeared in his mind.
A rare work left behind by Master Hathaway when he was young!
Kieran didn't know who Hathaway was.
However, the appreciation of beauty was universal.
From the first moment he saw the statue, Kieran thought that it must be a great sculptor. He hoped that by observing the statue in front of him, his brain could have a short rest and his tense mind could be eased.
In fact, Kieran had been doing this for the past two weeks.
When he was exhausted from reading or manipulating the disobedient flame, he would always come out for a walk and look at the statue that could divert his attention.
However, he obviously couldn't do that today.
Harold's and Cohen's footsteps were too clear for Kieran to hear.
This was especially true for Cohen, who was still using his walking stick. The sound of his walking stick hitting the ground could be heard clearly even from afar.
As for the two of them, they were heading towards him.
"There are some things that I can't do anything about!"
Kieran turned around to look at the two approaching people and spoke before they could open their mouths.
Kieran was well aware of why the two of them were looking for him.
Joanna!
The disfigured Joanna!
As Herbert's students, compared to Harold and Cohen who only had their limbs broken, Joanna, as a young girl, had her face disfigured. It was an infuriating and regrettable thing. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】
In the past two weeks, Herbert had tried to persuade his female student more than once.
But the effect …
Slightly equal to nothing.
Kieran was very clear about Joanna's current state from the conversation between the maids, servants, Harold, and Cohen.
He shut himself in a room and didn't even want to see his parents.
Kieran wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that he was more important than Herbert or her parents in Joanna's heart when she was behaving like this.
In terms of importance, even Harold and Cohen couldn't compare to him.
Therefore, Kieran would never ask for a snub.
"I hope you can help Joanna. Other than you, I can't think of anyone else who can do this!"
Cohen, who was leaning on his walking stick, looked at Kieran with a pleading expression.
"Yes, you are our last hope!"
Harold begged as well.
Looking at the old scholar's two students, Kieran really wanted to ask them where their confidence in him came from.
"If it's a battle, no matter how strong the enemy is, I will still have the courage to fight. But … there are some things that make me feel helpless even when facing the strongest enemy!"
Kieran sighed and shook his head.
"You said it yourself. No matter how strong the enemy is, you will still have the courage to fight!
Then, why don't you give it a try? "
Harold said again.
"Yes, all you need to do is try. Even if you don't succeed, who can blame you?"
Cohen agreed with Harold.
At the same time, the system notification popped up.
[Discovered Sub Mission: Persuasion]
[Persuasion: Joanna's condition is worrying everyone. If you can cheer her up, everyone will be grateful!]
…
Kieran was stunned when he saw the Sub Mission notification.
It was out of his expectation that a single persuasion would give him a Sub Mission.
However, right after that, Kieran started to pay more attention in his heart.
According to his understanding of the underground game, since a Sub Mission had appeared, the difficulty of persuading Joanna would be extraordinary.
However, since the Sub Mission had appeared, Kieran wouldn't reject it.
"I'll give it a try!"
Kieran said. When he saw Harold and Cohen's delight, he quickly added, "But I can't guarantee success!"
…
Joanna's room was located in the left corridor on the second floor of Lander's mansion.
Kieran, Herbert and the others were in the right corridor.
The whole second floor was filled with guest rooms.
Kieran had stayed in Lander's mansion for two weeks, so finding Joanna's room was like a walk in the park.
Knock Knock Knock!
Standing in front of the door, Kieran summarized his thoughts and knocked on the door.
However, no one answered.
Knock Knock Knock!
"It's me, Joanna!"
Kieran knocked on the door again and stated his identity.
Still, no one answered.
Kieran frowned and listened attentively.
When he heard the unusual movements in the room, his face turned pale and he wanted to break the door open. However, Kieran thought of something and chose a gentler way at the last moment. He used Musou Level [Lockpicking] and [Deceiver's Key] to open the door easily.
Almost without a sound, Kieran entered the room.
After closing the door, Kieran saw Joanna hanging on the beam with a bedsheet around her neck. Kieran reached out and took her down.
The suffocation put Joanna in a semi-conscious state but it wasn't fatal.
After placing her on the bed, Kieran pulled a chair over and sat beside the bed, quietly waiting for her to wake up.
A few minutes later, Joanna came back to her senses.
The first thing she saw was Kieran sitting beside the bed. Then, she saw the bedsheet hanging on the beam.
She wasn't an idiot, she immediately knew what happened.
Then, Joanna pulled the quilt and pillow over without a word, burying herself in it.
She didn't ask any questions nor did she scream.
However, it made Kieran feel that it was more troublesome.
At least if Joanna spoke, Kieran could still talk her out of it.
But the silence before him?
He would need to take the initiative to break the ice.
What kind of words could he use to break the ice? It was worth thinking about.
One wrong move and it would be the opposite of what he wanted.
After thinking for a while, Kieran spoke.
"Death isn't the end, maybe it's just a new beginning!
In fact, you might be even scarier than you were when you were alive! "
If it's possible, you should prepare yourself before you die. At least you should have the strength to protect yourself!
Otherwise, you'll end up in the same miserable state as you are now! "
Kieran's words were direct and could even be considered as ruthless words coming out of his mouth.
His words were like tearing open Joanna's wound. He didn't hold back at all.
However, at the same time, Kieran had thought about it carefully.
Herbert and the others must have said words of comfort and persuasion to Joanna countless times. Even if Kieran were to say it again, he would just be repeating it.
More importantly, his words were obviously useless.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be here.
Therefore, Kieran thought he should start from another direction.
No doubt his words were effective.
The pillow flew towards Kieran.
At the same time, Joanna's shout was heard.
"Get out!"
