87 – Academy Attack Case – 9
“The Elder Lich asked to capture Astaroth imdiately and interrogate him, so I wondered why. Was it your plan?”
“The timing was perfect. I was lucky too. It was a plan we ca up with on the spot after seeing the defense shield being released. “For a plan I ca up with on the spot, it was pretty good.”
“Can I just say it was pretty good? When I called the other corps commanders together and asked them to share their opinions, they were on the verge of being divided. It’s a very deceived atmosphere. Watching that was a very enjoyable pasti.”
Elisier’s voice was filled with unbearable joy. He didn’t laugh openly, but it was safe to say that he was laughing half the ti.
Perhaps it was because he had accumulated a lot from the demons during his ti as a demon lord, and the current situation where the corps commanders were suspicious and interrogating each other was so fun that he seed unable to bear it.
“What should I do next? Go ahead and lend her wisdom.”
“I think you can just do whatever you want. “Do you really need to ask ?”
“Wouldn’t her neglect be a threat to you and those around you? Like this attack. I can’t help her, but I don’t want to hold her back. So she wants to do as you say.”
Even if I said that, there was no way a plan that didn’t exist could suddenly appear. However, Elisier persistently requested.
In the end, while pretending to remain neutral, he subtly induced division and advised to take the lead in bringing Astaroth, and was about to take off her necklace when Elisier stopped .
“I have just received a report from the commander of the 5th Corps. Astaroth said the woman ran away.”
“…… She ran away? Where?”
“That is sothing you do not know. “If she didn’t even know where she was hiding, how would she know where she fled to?”
This ti, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed. I don’t know how they’re going to deal with it, because they don’t just stop at the level of protesting, they even run away.
It was a problem on my side too. The more severe the act, the more likely it is that the scale of the incident that will occur in order to seek forgiveness will increase.
“Thanks to you, my opinion has changed greatly. Except for the 1st Corps Commander, who said they had to listen to what he had to say, everyone seed to be accepting the fact that Astaroth had joined the humans. “Not only must it be caught imdiately, but it is even being said that all other succubi should be caught and interrogated intensely.”
Elisier chuckled.
“With this, your words co true once again. “For those who don’t know the details, wouldn’t it be thought that Astaroth completed his mission and fled to human territory?”
“That’s right. And, well, I guess I can guess where she ran off to.”
Unless you plan to run away to a completely empty field and live in hiding for the rest of your life, eating grass roots, there is a designated place to hide yourself.
It’s probably the Starlight Church, which has already planted its flag a long ti ago, or the Astrière family, which has been incorporated into the Empire.
“I figured it out. “Let the Sword Saint investigate, starting with the Astrière family.”
“It’s over there!”
I hurriedly hid the necklace when I heard a shout coming from sowhere. Rather than having to make excuses after being caught, it is much safer to hide it from the beginning. He put his necklace into the inside pocket of his school uniform and imdiately turned around.
Not the Royal Guard, but knights I had never seen before, coming towards in line with each other. The state of armant looked quite good, the armor was full plate armor covering the entire body, and the number was considerable.
‘Sothing is strange.’
They didn’t bother coming in line, and they looked like they were pointing their weapons at , so they definitely didn’t look like a rescue team that ca to look for survivors.
I was ready to take out Youngwon at any ti and waited for the distance to narrow.
“Are you Mira Krait?”
The knight standing in front slightly lowered the tip of his spear and asked a polite question.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be a crazy person like so church’s holy knight who only spoke informally and asked for conversations bordering on quarrels.
“Yes. “What brought you here?”
I also politely returned it. At the sa ti, I observed the knights just in case. It was hard to tell where they belonged because it was my first ti seeing everything, whether it was armor or weapons, but I could guarantee one thing.
These things are said to be possessed by a succubus.
I could feel the unique waves emitted by the possessed human, so it was 100%.
What this ans is that even if it seems like you are being treated politely on the outside, it will never be a good relationship in the end. As if he didn’t want to betray my expectations, the driver held out the handcuffs he was wearing around his waist.
“I will arrest you on charges of treason.”
“…… Did I hear wrong? “A charge of treason?”
“Yes. We also do not want to use force, so we would be grateful if you would follow us obediently.”
As soon as I realized that I had not heard wrong, I instantly burst into laughter. Astaroth I don’t know what that woman was trying to do, but she really seed to be in a bit of a corner.
Even if they try to cover up the charges, they have to cover up sothing like that. How on earth are they going to cover it up? Did all the bad news pile up and make lose my mind?
“Are you confident that you can handle that? The charge of treason is not a cri that can be applied simply by claiming it verbally. First, let’s bring the proper evidence. “If you are trying to arrest simply out of curiosity, I will refuse.”
Even if you brought the evidence, it would have been fabricated anyway. At my words, the knights glanced at each other and aid their spears.
“I’ll say it again, we don’t want to use force either. Please, please follow quietly. “If you are innocent, the charges will naturally be dropped.”
“Well, I don’t know. It seems to that once they are captured, they will do whatever it takes to destroy and my family. For example, manipulating evidence to cover up a cri that does not exist?”
Astaroth, what can that b*tch not do? Even just looking at it now, it looks like he’s not in his right mind.
When the pressure under the pretense of an offer was rejected twice, the atmosphere among the knights began to beco increasingly hostile.
“Do you really need to use force to get your words heard?”
“That’s what I’m going to say. “Do you really need soone to fall to the floor to leave?”
“I understand. Everyone! Who arrested this person- Wow?!”
I grabbed the spear pole of the knight who was trying to catch , pulled him, trampled on it and broke it, then grabbed his wrist and twisted it with his armor. The sound of bones breaking was drowned out by the sound of armor collapsing.
The knight scread. He kicked the man to his knees on the ground and smashed his ankles. Finally, he twisted the shoulder joint of his other arm to its limit, ready to break it at any ti, and then looked back at the rest of his body.
Even though the advance team was quickly overpowered and held hostage, everyone rushed in without heeding anything. They were well trained.
“Co on, co on! Stop! All the way there!”
When I broke the shoulder of the guy I had just taken hostage and was about to attack the next knight, a voice ca from sowhere and the knights stopped moving as if asuring with a ruler.
“Why are we fighting as soon as we see each other? “You can just resolve it with words.”
A man was trotting along with a female knight on either side. His hair was blond, and he seed to be a mix of half grumpy and half handso.
He is a guy who looks like he would look good at the beach, with sunglasses pulled up to his forehead, a flower necklace around his neck, and an undone Hawaiian shirt. First of all, that was my first impression.
“And you guys, I said I would go first and explain it to you, but did you drag all the way out? They say they will arrest on charges of treason, no matter how bad it feels. Right, handso boy?”
The man grinned at . He wasn’t even paying attention to the knight who was writhing beneath him, his wrists, ankles, and shoulders shattered.
“I’ve only heard about it, but this is my first ti seeing it in person…… The real thing is much better than what I heard. I’m serious? Anyway, nice to et you. Should we say hello to each other? How is it?”
His right hand was extended as if to shake hands. He stared at the hand and opened his mouth.
“Who are you pretending to know ?”
As if they didn’t like my attitude, I heard the female knights on both sides gasp in shock. But there was no need for to be polite at all.
I could feel the unique wave of a person possessed by a succubus from this person. Like the knights who just tried to attack .
Even approaching people in a friendly way like this may have been an order from the Queen. Just like Alexander, who was the Pope’s son, treated everyone else like he was a cheap bastard, but only acted friendly towards .
“Oh, maybe you should have said it first? “I thought you knew.”
Despite my harsh response, the man smiled shyly and withdrew his hand, showing no signs of getting angry.
“Well, kids these days don’t know. Okay, then I should start by introducing myself. I am Igor Ercarenziana Cresenne von Euperantis Bellium. As you can see from the na-“
“Are you a deposed prince? “You said you lost the power struggle and were kicked out to the outskirts?”
“Uh huh, I don’t want to reveal the past’s secrets.”
Despite having his past openly mocked right in front of her, Crown Prince Lung still had a friendly smile on his face. Is that his natural personality, or is it because Astaroth told him to act like that?
“And sooner or later, he won’t even be a deposed prince? “I also definitely have a support base.”
A strong confidence appeared on his face.
“A support base large enough to dare to face off again with the cheeky younger brother who drove out her older brother.”
“… ….”
Are you trying to drag in? If this happens, the situation will be a bit troubleso. I am a person who has never fought for power, even though I have been involved in many wars and battles.
The reason was that in my past life, I was powerful, lazy, and had fun on the front line, and after I got the title of savior, everyone took care of . Even if you have other thoughts inside.
It is the sa in this life as well. The Crait family was traditionally a rchant, so they had little chance of being involved in the power struggles of the imperial family.
To be precise, we almost got involved once, but I heard that my parents acted very wisely.
‘Wait a minute.’
I stopped thinking. Before that, I think there was an expression that shouldn’t be overlooked.
“Oppa? Who?”
“What, you didn’t know?”
Igor looked slightly surprised.
“She’s a girl. It was only recently that I, who had lived in the sa imperial palace for over ten years, realized how well they had been deceived. Still, it’s a bit too much for not to tell you. “Aren’t you quite close to my younger brother?”
My mind beca complicated. There was a reason why my already androgynous appearance had beco much more feminine recently.
‘…… So the reason she’s been trying to cling to you all this ti is not because she’s gay, but because she’s just a normal woman?’
It felt like so secret of the world had been revealed. Her head felt dizzy.
‘No, why didn’t you reveal it sooner…? … Oh, maybe it was because she didn’t have any intention of completely winning over to her side?’
When I think about it, she was the previous Crown Prince, no, the Crown Princess only liked , and she made no attempt to draw to her side. The first attempt was right before the academy attack incident occurred.
In that case, the secret that she said she would tell if the Crown Princess was on her side might be about her true gender. It was a story that seed quite promising.
“I know it’s complicated, but can’t you just get out of the way? “She felt like the kid was half dead.”
Only then did she think of the knight who was pressing down on her ankle. She took off her feet. She giggled at the sight of Igor, the knight with all her armor torn apart.
“Anyway, it’s a problem if loyalty is too high. She tells him to take her to a priest and get him treated. You all go together too. I’ll take care of this. Oh, you two stay.”
When all the male knights left and only the female knights on either side of her remained, the glowing smile on her face grew even deeper.
“I heard the news. It’s only been half a year since she entered school, but she’s accomplished a lot? “She also said that she would only take the top spot for all three years.”
“No amount of oiling will work, so just say what you ca here for and be done with it. “What is that treason charge you ntioned earlier?”
No matter what he says, we must take into account that Astaroth’s will is involved. So I had no intention of following along.
“Oh, that? “Eventually, I will beco emperor, so siding with my brother ans that I will be accused of treason later.”
“Is that possible?”
“Such a hot word. Do you like it. It seems like you like to be direct, so I’ll be blunt. “Aren’t you going to stand by my side instead of him?”
“Are you telling to stand on their side? Why?”
As he frowned and asked a question, Igor put his arms around the shoulders of the n standing on either side and pulled them in, grinning.
“Isn’t it more special to take sothing from soone else?”
“What?”
“Even more so if it is a subordinate of the arrogant younger brother who threw into the gutter.”
This guy was crazy too.
