Episode 109
William said that what happens in the territory resembles the thods used by the empire’s nobles.
In order to acquire talent, the territory is completely destroyed.
At the sa ti, he spreads a note that seems to curse the talented person, causing the territory to abandon the talented person.
Since then, that thod has often been used.
That also had its limits.
The opponent had to have weak territory and the evidence had to be thoroughly destroyed.
In order to do that, there are a lot of things to prepare and a lot of troubleso things to deal with, so it is a thod that is not used these days.
‘That’s what I’m writing here right now.’
I was dumbfounded.
If you listen to William’s words, it’s not even a sight to behold.
No matter how royal they were, they ignored Millennium too much.
As soon as one piece of evidence is discovered here, our position in the kingdom would have been greatly reduced.
“Thoroughly investigate these guys. And if sothing like this happens inside the territory, there must be people sneaking inside as well. “Find them thoroughly.”
“All right.”
“Instead of investigating the entire royal family, start investigating the second prince.”
“You an the second prince?”
“uh. It’s a bit suspicious there. Because there is nothing wrong with knowing it. “Research slowly when you have ti.”
“yes. All right.”
“You can do it. You should be able to do it. “That’s why I brought you here.”
“Please leave it to . “If you give ti, I will even get to know the emperor’s underwear.”
“It’s reliable. thanks for your effort.”
“Go in!”
William ca to the entrance of the mansion and saw off.
After leaving the slums, I didn’t go back straight away, but instead wandered around the streets of the city.
I looked around the city, looking at delicious-looking street food.
‘I don’t think this can be undone.’
As soon as you leave the center of the city, there are countless people who have suffered damage from the attackers.
From those who go to security to complain to those who are staring blankly into space in frustration.
“Send Princess Daria away!”
“If you don’t let Princess Daria go, we will die!”
There were about a dozen people gathered here and there shouting to send Princess Daria away.
As I was looking through them, it didn’t occur to that things would end lightly.
At least the Count will not settle this matter lightly.
What is happening now is clearly an act that tarnishes the prestige of the na Millennium.
“What are you doing?”
I entered the count’s house and there were knights walking around quite noisily.
He wandered around the house as if he was looking for soone.
“what’s the matter?”
I grabbed one of them and started talking to him, but even he reacted strangely.
“Uh oh! found. “I found it!”
“what? where are you!”
“You found the master?”
They welcod with enthusiasm and shouted from all directions.
At the sound, knights from all over the world gathered together.
“Where have you been? “I’ve been looking for it for a while.”
“What?”
“The Count is looking for you.”
The commander of the knights ca over and hurriedly guided to where the count was.
Sweat was beading on the foreheads of the maids who seed relieved to see , as if they had been looking for for a long ti.
“What’s going on?”
As soon as I entered the office, I found the Count standing upright with the communication port in front of him.
He frowned at my appearance that had just now appeared.
Then he passed by and said:
“The prince contacted . “I’ll go out.”
He then tells to find out why the crown prince has been contacting .
I nodded that I understood and put my face into the communication port.
-My dear friend Raymond. It’s very nice to et you.
The crown prince’s upper body appeared above the communication port, as if the Count had injected mana in advance.
He was looking at with a strange face.
He seed a little angry.
“et Your Majesty the Crown Prince.”
– To set an example between us. There’s no need to do that, so sit back and relax.
“thank you.”
As I sat down, I thought about why the Crown Prince had co to see .
What was so urgent that I even contacted the Count?
I didn’t really do anything wrong to warrant him contacting , and I didn’t do anything major.
If you are looking for it, there was the first princess who ca to the count’s house with .
Since I, who said I would not take anyone’s side, suddenly took the first princess with , they may have been worried that I might have taken her side.
I think my predictions ca true to so extent.
-however. Raymond. Why didn’t you tell ?
“What do you an?”
I expected what he would ask.
But for now, I got out of the way. He acted like he didn’t know anything.
The crown prince spoke in a cold voice.
-Are you asking because you don’t know?
“yes.”
-haha. While I wasn’t looking, the pranks got a lot worse.
The crown prince glared at with a look that told not to talk nonsense.
I calmly looked into his eyes and shrugged my shoulders.
-You clearly told you had no intention of taking sides. At the sa ti, if the mont cos when you have to take sides, you will stick to my side.
“It was. “I still think the sa way.”
I didn’t deny it.
The crown prince spoke in an even angrier voice at my denial.
-Do you think it makes sense for the person who said that to do such a trick?
thud!
The sound of him hitting the armrest followed by a loud breaking sound was heard.
I reacted calmly to that situation as well.
Here, if I tremble or show any signs of panic, he will not miss and attack .
When dealing with royalty, you must never show any loopholes.
“I don’t know why you’re so angry. “I haven’t done anything to make you angry.”
-under! That’s funny. Even if I asked you to explain Daria, would you be able to explain it like that? Otherwise, such a boastful attitude is not good.
He spoke of the first princess.
It seems that rumors about the first princess have finally reached the royal family.
A month has passed, but information has been very slow.
I couldn’t tell whether I should regard them as incompetent for gathering information late, or admire the princess’s ability to completely hide the fact that she had left the royal family.
‘It was expected.’
I had predicted sothing like this would happen from the mont I brought the princess in.
In particular, the crown prince’s reaction will be strong.
Unlike other royal families who were concerned about the count, he, as the crown prince, was in a position where he was less concerned.
“iced coffee. You an Princess Daria? yes. It’s at my house. But what does that an?”
-…Are you trying to joke with ?
“What reason would I have to play with words with you? “It’s just that I don’t understand why you’re angry about sothing like this.”
-what?
“We just received a request.”
-request?
The crown prince’s brow furrowed as if wondering what that ant.
I continued speaking in a tone as if I didn’t know.
“The request was that there was a group threatening his safety and that he be protected until the group was resolved. “The Count has accepted the request, and I am only following his orders.”
‘The earl accepted the princess, not . So, I am not responsible,’ he said round and round.
The crown prince wasn’t stupid enough to not understand it.
-Hmm…
The crown prince’s anger soon subsided and he touched his chin and closed his mouth.
-…That must be true, right?
“What benefit will I gain by lying to you? Above all, I never lie to my close friends.”
-is it. Yes, we were friends.
The crown prince, who was pleased by my lip service, could not hide his smile.
-Quite loudly. by the way. What do you an there is a group threatening Daria?
The crown prince cleared his voice and changed the direction of the conversation.
“Didn’t you know? Princess Daria has been threatened for a long ti. “There was an intruder in our territory recently.”
-There was an intruder in Millennium?
“yes.”
-Uhm.
The crown prince’s face beca serious.
They know that the fact that there was an intruder in Millennium, which is considered as safe as the royal family, should never be taken lightly.
Millennium is connected to the Magic Tower.
That ans there are hundreds of wizards who will co running if any problem arises.
And that’s not just wizards of the 2nd and 3rd circles, but high-level wizards of the 5th and 6th circles.
Having an intruder in such a place was a big problem.
Because it was like showing that the intruder was ignoring the central magic tower.
“Princess Daria is okay. “The intruder has been completely disposed of, and Princess Daria is currently under the protection of the Count himself.”
-Then you don’t have to worry too much.
In reality, I was in full charge of it, but within the count family, the entire count family was protected by him, so it wasn’t a lie.
-Still, this is a problem that cannot be ignored. We cannot remain silent when royal personnel are under threat. We will also thoroughly investigate this matter.
“I would be very grateful if you could.”
-I’ll contact you again later. If there are any findings, it would be a good idea to share them with each other.
“Of course. “I will do my best to live up to your expectations.”
-Please take good care of Daria.
“…yes?”
The contact was cut off before he could hear my answer.
What’s going on and then suddenly it’s like that?
‘It could have been because of my brother’s feelings.’
okay. It’s also strange that being the older brother, I don’t worry about my younger sibling.
….
It’s so weird. The crown prince himself was a self-centered person and had no way of worrying about others.
This is because when he cares about others, he benefits himself.
Maybe it was because I knew that, but the Crown Prince’s words kept bothering .
While I was scratching my head nervously, the Count ca inside, wondering how he knew that contact had been lost.
As soon as he ca in, he sat down in front of and asked about the crown prince.
If it bothers you so much, why don’t you just stay next to them when they’re on the phone and make them go out and co back in and bother you with explanations?
I shook my head and answered.
“What did we talk about?”
“It was no big deal. “He said he wouldn’t remain quiet about what happened in the count’s house this ti.”
“The crown prince?”
“yes. And please take good care of Princess Daria.”
“Hmm…”
The Count looked at with strange eyes.
He smiled slightly at my annoyed face.
“Stop leaving.”
Contrary to my expectations that he would continue talking, the Count dismissed as if he had heard everything he had to say.
When I ca out, I felt uncomfortable and scratched my head.
***
A week passes. The Countess beca even more noisy.
Attacks on the count’s family beca more severe day by day, and the residents of the territory lived in uncertainty every day.
“You caught the tail?”
“yes. “And Wang Geon too.”
William faithfully carried out my orders and as a result found out where they were.
“I endured it for a long ti.”
I reported it to the Count right away.
By that ti, the Count had also discovered their base.
“Raymond. “I will assign 50 magic soldiers to you, so you must make sure to root out the remnants of this incident.”
“yes.”
The Count, who had been holding back for so long, drew his sword.
