From his point of view, remembering useless names was a waste of memory. It’s not that his memory was limited, but there’s no meaning to using his memory for unimportant things. In fact, he couldn’t understand why so many people try to memorize useless things.
The female shifted her gaze to the bow in Decem’s hands.
“So, she died”
Something clicked in him. It was about that failure, the one who managed to die even though he gave her such precious weapons. He felt ashamed that half of the blood that flowed in her veins was his own. No—rather, it was because it was not more than half that she got killed by someone like humans.
“Yeah, she died”
“Is…that so”
Her voice trembled.
She was also probably feeling ashamed upon remembering that her blood flowed through that failed creation, but that failure was still stronger than her. This female should be even more ashamed.
But it was the king’s duty to give people a chance.
Decem felt moved at how gentle a king he was that he would show mercy even for the incompetent.
“Come to my room later. I will give you another chance”
Decem started walking without waiting for a reply. He should get these weapons to the treasury first.
After he returned from the treasury, Decem washed off the dirt from the battlefield and laid on the bed in his room.
While he was waiting like that, a man came requesting his permission to enter. He couldn’t see that female anywhere behind him.
“…What is it?”
“I have information for the king. The woman summoned by the king, named Myuugi, has committed suicide”
“Suicide?”
“Yes. She did it by jumping from the castle”
“What? She died from falling from just that height…no, I forget that you people are only that strong”
Decem pondered for a bit. He couldn’t think of a reason for her suicide. First of all, he had just summoned her to his bed, so she should have been joyful. Maybe it’s not suicide, but instead, she got murdered by someone who envied her.
“…Are you sure that it’s a suicide?”
“Yes. We are sure, as there was someone who saw her do it.”
Decem thought for a moment that maybe that witness was the murderer, but if it really was a suicide, what could have been the reason? After he mulled it over for a while, Decem finally found the answer.
“I see… So it’s something like that. I understand now. She was sorry for giving birth to a useless daughter and killed herself as an apology, right?”
“…Only she can know her true feelings, but you are probably right, my king”
The man replied with an expressionless face.
“…In that case, give her a fitting funeral. She used her life to apologize after all. It’s a king’s duty to forgive others”
“I am grateful for my king’s merciful consideration”
Decem nodded regally at the man who was bowing deeply. As he thought, kings should be merciful like this to useless beings.
Feeling extremely compassionate, Decem decided to reward the loyal man—he didn’t remember his name—in front of him.
“Do you have any daughters?”
“…Yes…I do”
“You are fortunate. Send them here if they are already of age. If they aren’t, your wife works too”
The man looked like he was deeply moved. After his body shook all over, he spoke like he was trying to squeeze the words out.
“Understood, my king…”
He left the room and Decem proceeded to forget about that female. He didn’t care about what happened to some useless female.

For once, I had almost thought I could have had something nice, that my mistress luck was about to remove its pointy heels from my chest. But it was just a fool’s dream.

Well, my mother would repeat again that I needed a psychiatrist, and a good one at that.
It was always surprising when she said that, considering that my family was very traditionalist and considered mental health a taboo. Well, look at that, I am the breaker of chains, the wind of progress that makes the most skeptic people want to believe that psychiatrists actually work because, if they don’t, they are stuck with me.

my cat is an asshole who likes my neighbour Sarah more than me. But I do like Sarah more than him too, so, that’s that.

People are not worried about whether they receive less; people worry about whether whatever they received is undistributed well.
Fortune has turned her back on me. She has it in for me; she is a woman, and I am not that way inclined.

spent one point on the effort to do good and spent ten points on its publicity.
By contrast, he was more concerned about another matter. The flames of gossip lit up in his eyes. "Won't Zi Dian be jealous if you run over to my side? You two must’ve had a lover’s quarrel, right?"
"Hey hey hey!" Ying Ge suddenly glared at him. "Just what kind of relationship do you think we have?! I’ve always regarded that uncle as my father!"
Gu Nan showed an enlightened look and gave a heartfelt sigh. "So he was a stepdad."
