Count's Youngest Son is a Warlock// novel translation

Chapter 178

Miella suddenly cried as she spoke.

<I can't say with confidence that it's finished yet, but it's taken me so..., so long to get here, and I've been thinking about it for so long, but with my family hounding me, I couldn't afford it.>

I knew.

Miella even lost everything when she was swindled by a business associate.

She was so desperate to finish this thing that I had to take the hand of evil.

Though in Heint's hands, neither Miella nor her masterpiece was lost.

[I know how much you want to go check it out right now, but no, Lucion, you come first].

Russell pressed his forehead against Lucion's as he tried to pull himself up.

-I'll help Latta, too.

Beep!

Biting down on the ball, Latta scrambled over and grabbed Lucion's arm.

<...I know...>

Miella's voice trembled.

<I met Mr. Hamel, and he helped me. You changed everything for me. I'm so grateful. Thank you, Mr. Hamel.>

Miella barely managed to stifle a sob.

<...Ha. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this, but all of a sudden, all of a sudden, I'm just crying.>

But she couldn't hold back the tears, and she sobbed.

"It's okay to cry."

Lucion listened, then spoke up.

"You did well. You did very well."

Lucion spoke softly, and all that could be heard was the sound of Miella's sobs.

Bethel's head was tilted slightly away with a grimace, as if she had experienced the same thing.

After what seemed like an eternity, Miella made a snorting sound.

<...I'm sorry.>

"No, there's no need to be sorry. If you have tears, you should let them flow, not hold them back."

<I'm still embarrassed... so I'll call you when things are a little more settled!>

Miella disconnected without another word.

Lucion silently put down the contact item.

"...Crazy!"

The corners of Lucion's mouth twitched as he removed his mask.

"It's almost done!"

Lucion clenched his fists in trepidation.

In the midst of the constant threats to his life, Miella's news was like a light rain that dampened the ground.

"I can't stay still."

Lucion immediately raised his upper body.

[Lucion].

"A walk around the neighborhood wouldn't hurt, would it?"

Lucion took the mask back into his hands.

[...Why do you need a mask to go for a walk?]

Russell's eyebrows knitted together.

"...Ha."

Heint, who had been writing a report, opened the window and looked down.

He frowned at the sight of Hamel's middle fingers rising high above his hands.
