Chapter 470 One Week
1/3
...
Although I found it fun to ss with the general and was looking forward to his plot to kill , in the end, that was just a ga to kill ti. There were more important things I needed to deal with.
Mainly, that unknown Immortal.
Thus, while the army continued its course towards the frontline, I disguised myself and used my Clark’s identity to go to the Daemon Empire several tis.
My goal was to try to find clues about the Immortal’s plans in the Daemon Empire and destroy them, but even after trying for a long while, I failed to find anything.
He had hidden his plans very well.
Initially, I thought that the war against the daemons was the thod he was going to use to arrive at this world, and in fact, that was one of the reasons I accepted coming to the frontlines. But after visiting the Elven Forest and learning that this war was sothing that the elves fanned behind scenes, I was not so sure.
However, I did not discard this possibility completely. I visited the daemon emperor and scanned his mind without him noticing, even scanning the minds of several of his minister, but I did not find any trace of the Immortal.
It was as though he did not exist.
However, I found a small clue.
Apparently, this war was sothing that the Daemon God wanted.
And after seeing the Immortal using the Daemon God’s body to create a clone of himself in this world, I’m sure the Daemon God was under the influence of the Immortal for a long ti.
The question is, how much?
Is the war sothing he provoked or is it sothing completely unrelated?
I was not sure, but there was a high chance he was planning to use the souls of the deceased to summon his main body to this world.
However, when I checked that possibility, I realized that nobody was ssing with the souls of the deceased except a few elves that had still not received the order to stop.
Once more, I hit a dead end.
I could not help but sigh inwardly. If I can’t find the thod that he is planning to use to arrive in this world, I will be unable to delay his coming.
Helpless, I could only continue trying.
Just like that, one week passed.
During this week, the soldiers continued advancing towards the frontlines, and they needed just three days more to arrive.
This week was pretty fruitless for . Besides sleeping with my girls at night, trying to find clues about the Immortal, and visiting Emilia a pair of tis, I did nothing.
But it changes today.
Finally, we arrived at the place where we accorded to e the Carll family.
As agreed beforehand, the caravan separated from the soldiers and took a different route. We were going to et again two days later, just before arriving at Fort Mist.
"... I’m surprised the general did not oppose to you leaving. Is he not afraid of you running away?" Aunt Dayana said curiously.
"He would be very happy if I do that. By then, my enemies will brand as a deserter and they will have the perfect excuse to make a head shorter."
Aunt Dayana shivered, her face paling slightly.
She then looked at with a complicated expression.
"Sorry Claus, even although I’m supposed to be your elder. There is not much I can do to help you. Sotis, I feel I’m useless."
"What are talking about, Aunt? You are doing more than enough. Thanks to you, I don’t need to worry about the Auction Hall or my businesses in the empire."
Aunt Dayana chuckled softly and smiled.
"As expected of a womanizer like you. You always know what words to say."
Experience, aunt. Experience...
"Anyway, Claus, are you sure you want to complete this deal. We still can turn back now."
"Are you worried?"
"Of course. This deal can’t be any fishier. It’s obvious the Carll Family is planning sothing big, and I’m sure they will not mind killing us to achieve that. Who knows? Perhaps they will try to kill us as soon as we complete the exchange to silence us."
"You are partially right, Aunt. However, I don’t think they are that stupid."
"Huh?"
"For the Carll Family, we are still useful, and that ans they will not get rid of us as long as we still have a use. Of course, it’s another matter after that."
"Even so–!"
"But just like they are using , I’m using them."
"Huh?"
Seeing Aunt Dayana’s confused expression, I smiled playfully.
"If I’m going to make my sister the empress, I’m going to do an excellent job at that, and I need to get rid of all the people that could harm her."
"Do you an...?"
"The Carll Family want to use us as a spearhead, but they did not know that I’m also using them to fan the flas. Then, Dina will have the perfect justification to ascend the throne and clean up all the trash of the empire, getting a stable empire to govern."
Aunt Dayana was stunned. However, she could feel the confidence in my voice.
And for so reason, her face could not help but turn hot.
"... Claus, you look very handso when you are like this."
I looked at her and rolled my eyes.
"What are you talking about, Aunt? I’m always handso."
Chuckling softly, I looked in the direction of the capital, my gaze piercing through thousands of kiloters of distance.
If I’m not wrong, they are going to make a move soon.
The situation in the capital is going to beco exciting.
...
anwhile, in the military camp.
General Liko Noel was looking in the direction Claus and the other left with a thoughtful expression.
At that mont, a shadow materialized behind him, taking the shape of a man and kneeling on a knee.
"... General, should we make a move now? I think it’s a good opportunity."
The general hesitated slightly before sighing and shaking his head.
"No, let’s follow the plan. The prince still has that troubleso teacher that follows him anywhere. With her beside him, our chances of success are not high."
"But then, are we going to do nothing?"
"Patience. Being rash at this point in ti can ruin our plans. This ti, the prince will not escape. And even if he survives, the gallows will be waiting for him in the capital."
"I understand. I’ll follow your orders."
