Chapter 17. Relativity of Justice
Eh?
Nothing.
It seems that word slips out of his mouth involuntarily, but still it is not audible enough for the other person to hear, so that other person missed what Yuran said just now.
Folding his hands, he remembers what happened the other day. It was something he really wants to forget if possible, or it would be better if he can erase that from Violettes memory. It was not something should be laughed at, and it was an unpleasant memory, which causes him to frown his eyebrows even just for a moment.
Tension runs through Claudias back as soon he notices the change of Yurans composure. Although it is true that they remember the same thing, which really saves the time to explain, but Claudia does not understand what Yuran meant by what he said that time.
Back then, did you really think you were doing a right thing?
Back then, who knows if his action really helped Maryjun?
Was his help meant to protect the weak? Or perhaps just to end the trouble with justice?
That might work only in fairy tales, but those are only ideals. If adults really aimed for such beautiful world, the world would be a happy place by now.
In regard to Yurans question, the answer would be Forget it, there is no way he would spoon-feed the answer to Claudia, who does not know what it means.
If you take a look at Claudia, it is so easy to figure out how he thinks.
As a prince, he is determined considering himself to be correct but perhaps its because of his naivety? His sense of justice is too extreme, consisting only beautiful things while leaving out the most important points.
At glance, he would reach his hand to protect without patronizing anyone. Just like a savior, but justice aside, Claudia should be praised for his bravery though.
Did you really cover her for her sake?
What do you mean by that?
Does he himself not even understand his wrongdoing of covering for her?
Claudias complexion looks slightly clouded. Perhaps not due to anger or doubt, but it is due to his incapability to understand.
Yurans words really did hit hard on him, but it was Claudias choice to face it even though it would hurt his pride.
The meaning of justice is very abstract and relative.
If you believe so, you would think it as something definite and immutable. However, it is because you see it the way you want to see, and it wont be the same for others. It looks like a tempered steel, but it would look like a shape-shifting clay once you open your perspective.
The shape changes as the people change. One persons justice will take a different form once he finds himself after pondering about it. Sometimes, it turns out to be something so filthy that you would just want to dispose of.
Intangible as it is, it is very easy for people to have their own definitions out of it.
To Claudia, Yurans words are like a new arbitration of justice. It has been always said that the opposite of justice lays another form of justice, but Claudia is too narrow-minded to differentiate the values. Rather, he might be the type of person who tends to concentrate on one value.
There was not much time for him to swallow a very different value completely.
Then what should I have done then?
Should Yuran overlook it? Back then, a girl was mercilessly shamed just for that womans sake.
But still, nothing can be done. Even if it happened as Yuran wished, or even if Claudia would be as ruthless in the future, Yuran cannot overlook the fact what has happened.
I What should I
Claudia will surely keep that in mind from now on. After swallowing what Yuran said and understood its point, he would not overlook his own mistake.
Even so, no one knows how long it will take for him to understand. All the triangles up until now have been attached, leading to the correct, best, and clear answer.
Even the answer of what he should do and what is the best.
Perhaps you should do the way you see fit.

I apologize for the wait. I can finally get back on translating after finishing my thesis somehow. I should be able to translate normally starting next month.
