Episode 568

169. Murder

A sudden colic-breaking scream made me go straight to the place where the voice came from.

There, a native girl was sitting on the floor, trembling, and in front of her was a slender man, covered in blood.

“That…that…”

Seeing the native girl crying at me, without thinking, I laid the fallen beastman man on his stomach facing the sky and checked his condition.

“…”

Too late.

The prisoner man who died without a chance to use his hands was a servant named Bart who took care of the small work at Lord Heinz Castle.

“Bart…”

“Heh… Hehehe…”

Everyone who followed me seemed shocked at the sudden situation.

“What… what the hell…”

Baron Gorneo, who had followed behind, put his hand on the nape of Bart’s neck with a serious expression on his face.

“…”

“It’s already too late.”

There is a chance that a person who has just died can be revived.

Unfortunately, Bart’s body was cold.

“Chief Chamberlain. Stop the event.”

“Lowering.”

Amy, who was trembling at my command, shook her head.

“No. Lower.”

“Amy.”

“If you stop here, the things you’ve prepared so far may be in vain.”

“…”

Proper progress is difficult as long as the person is dead.

But Amy didn’t want the things I had prepared to collapse in an instant, even if I left those other little things alone.

“That’s right. Low. God also thinks the same.”

“The chamberlain.”

“I know that you are disloyal to God Bernil, but please focus on the current work. You can’t ruin the event like this…” “Does the weight of

life have any weight?”

“…”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

At my words, the head chamberlain silently lowered his head, and Amy paused for a moment and then quietly lowered her head.

“Yes… low.”

Murder is taken seriously. However, if it was only the attendant, but if that was the death of a beast tribe that was not in such a bad position among many races.

“If you keep tying them up like this, bad words will continue to come out.”

It was as Varys said, coldly judging it.

They came as they wished, but if the way back is blocked, of course they will be anxious.

Fortunately, most of the main axis were understanding to some extent.

The problem was elsewhere.

“Is this true?”

At my question, Amy quietly bowed her head.

The beginning was like this.

It was said that a native tribe girl received help from Bart, a beast tribe attendant who died while arranging and sorting gifts sent from different countries during the wedding ceremony.

While he was away for a while on an urgent matter, Bart tried to organize his luggage and write it down in the ledger. While checking the contents…

he died while spilling blood.

The cause was simple.

body rupture.

It was like a miserable death without any organs remaining.

“Brother… this way…”

“Do you know?”

“It’s famous… it’s the best way to assassinate the Master.”

It ruptures blood vessels and internal organs by regurgitating the mana of those who have mana inside.

Unluckily, Bart, who got caught up in the work, had a lot more mana than the others.

“It was an assassination targeting the master class…”

“It was a gift aimed at Perserk-nim. Apparently, he didn’t like the engagement this time.”

Budeug…

“What kind of bastard.”

At my question, Amy looked like she didn’t know what to do.

“That’s…”

Amy, who was speechless, hesitated for a long time before slowly opening her mouth.

at the same time.

rattle.

“Davy, I heard you.”

Everyone’s eyes are drawn to Illina De Falan who has been accustomed to opening the door and entering.

“what’s the matter?”

Looking around the room where the chilly silence passed, Illina asked curiously.

And in that silence, Amy pointed at Illina with a trembling finger and said,

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, but from the gift that Princess Illina de Palan sent to Perserk…”

Illina was basically quick-witted.

“Muh… what are you talking about?”

Embarrassed, Ilya took a step back.

“What are you talking about?”

“Let’s ask Illina.”

When I got up, she looked at me with trembling eyes and took a step back.

The closer I got, the more she withdrew as if in fear.

“Is it true that you sent the Stone of Blessing to Perserk?”

She shook her head slowly at the quiet question.

She screamed, shaking with trembling hands.

“That… though!”

“…”

“Ah… no, Davy, not me!”

It was the moment when she was embarrassed and was about to shout.

“Degradation is important information.”

At the same time, a couple of men dressed in black appeared in the empty air and approached me.

He was the informant that Echo sent again after the previous Moonlight Honey Incident.

They are about to say something to me, but when they find Ilina, they are shocked and silent.

“What is it? What is it?”

“…”

“Don’t make me say it twice, say it quickly.”

“That… that’s…”

The informant looked at me, then cautiously approached me.

Then he whispered something. It was a sound so small that it was almost inaudible, but everyone who could hear it had heard it.

Because they all have good hearing.

“Amy.”

“Yes… Yes! Lower!”

“Contain Illina in the guest room.”

At my cold words, Illina opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

“Davy… not me… not me!!”

With an urgent cry, she began to be dragged away by the manor guards who entered after her.

“Follow and protect Rhynne. Do not let any humans in until my order is given. I will accept force if necessary.”

“Lune Command Arguments.”

“Davy!!! Davy!!”

I silently watched as Ilina was dragged out calling for me, then sighed briefly and asked the informants.

“That information shouldn’t be false.”

The story brought by the informant was simple. It was news that Illina stopped by the orc mages before coming here after obtaining the Blessing Stone.

An assassination technique that can kill the Master.

In order to reverse the flow of mana, the Orc’s unique totem magic was needed.

* * *

When the news of Illina’s imprisonment spread, there was an uproar on all sides.

He didn’t seem to think that Illina, who had a special relationship with me, had done such a thing.

“I’m sorry, Prince Davy.”

“Prince Rendos.”

6th Prince Rendos de Falan.

One of Illina’s brothers.

“No way. I thought that foolish thing would do something like that…”

I asked in silence at the sound of Rendos’ sigh.

“This is not a servant’s problem.”

It was a sorry thing for Bart, who was an attendant, but it was definitely an assassination attempt aimed at Perserk.

If the object was cursed to such an extent, it could not kill Perserk, but it could inflict damage in its own way.

Of course, I would have dealt with it as soon as I noticed her.

As a result, the fact that he was aiming for her does not change.

“I hope this doesn’t cause a big discord between the Palan Empire and the Raun Kingdom.”

“Do you want anything?”

“Yes. I will return to my country with Illina. Because Miuna Gouna is my sister. I will take her and punish her formally…” ”

No. I will decide the treatment of Princess Illina the Fallan here.”

“Prince Davy.”

He looked at me as if surprised by my cool answer.

“If you look at the past treaties between the Palan Empire and the Raun Kingdom, if the people of the Palan Empire commit a crime, they will be extradited from the empire and take due process accordingly…” “I’ll tell Prince Salivan separately. The exceptions to the treaty are

also There are many of them. Perserk has already been betrothed to me, and even though I have abandoned the right of succession, I am a member of the royal family. Crimes that are not ordinary crimes, such as subversion of the state or attempted murder of the royal family, will be exceptions to the terms of the treaty.”

At my words, Rendos hesitated.

“Whoa… I see. But the process and contents. And the result, please make sure to clarify it to our empire. No matter how disgraceful it may be.”

“All right.”

At my words, Rendos quietly sighed and turned around.

“Tsk tsk… How stupid and stupid…”

“Prince Rendos.”

Then I called him from behind as he left and asked quietly.

“Why is that?”

“Has Ilina shown any strange signs?”

“…well. But he didn’t seem to be in a good mood. Well, he’s a kid who has been living with love all his life.”

“Thank you for your words.”

Originally, it is an impossible negotiation.

However, the reality was that the Palan Empire was not considering the Raun Kingdom, not the Lindis Empire or the Kontas Empire, as the most threatening military power at the moment, so they couldn’t do anything recklessly.

A single strategic weapon.

This is the result it produced.

After Prince Rendos left, Illina was confined to a guest room.

The guests who came as guests seemed to be taken aback by the sudden situation, but I calmed them down in the prescribed order and quickly sent them back.

Of course, some remained.

“Davy. Something’s wrong with this.”

Ulyss came to visit with Winry and pleaded with me.

“There must be some misunderstanding. What is Illina-nim doing that for?”

“That’s right, older brother. Illina helped unnie Ferre to dress up for the wedding herself.”

I closed my eyes at her words.

“David is right. Illina’s reason for harming her is…”

“Listen carefully.”

They are silent at my words.

“You can’t kill Perserk with the curse on the Stone of Blessing. But…”

I blurted out my words and removed one of the ornaments from Perserk’s head, who hadn’t taken off his robe yet.

“What does this look like?”

At those words, everyone’s eyes are puzzled.

“It’s a magic ore. Its effect is mana lubricant. That’s why. When a backflow of mana occurs, it has the power to amplify it.”

The decoration he brought and put on Perserk’s head. As it turned out, it was mixed with the Blessing Stone and almost seriously injured her.

“Davy.”

“You be quiet, Perserk.”

I spoke briefly and touched my forehead with one hand.

“Haha… that’s so fucking hot, just.”

A big accident happened on an auspicious day.

I want to say it wasn’t Illina, but all the evidence and circumstances say it was her.

“I believe. Illina-sama wouldn’t have done such a thing. Master is of the same opinion.”

“Brother… I feel the same way.”

At the end of Winry and Julis, I gave them a brief order to celebrate. And

right after everyone left, only Perserk and Baris remained.

“Prince De Davy .

Excuse me…”

“I understand what you mean, but please don’t say anything right now.”

At my words, Aria flinched.

“Perserk. You speak.”

At my words, Perserk looked at me silently.

“When you used your authority on Prince Rendos and Illina. What did you see?”

“… Illina… tried to assassinate the original woman.”

Even the powers of the abyss say she is the culprit.

“I won’t listen anymore. Everyone goes away.”

Seeing me coldly retaliate, everyone fell silent.

But soon, everyone left except for Perserk.

“Davy.”

“….”

“This….”

“You are the most important to me. Fer.”

Calling her by her nickname, I looked down at her.

“But this is wrong.”

” You even said that to your Authority?

”

But all of them fit together like a knife. Even

the mistakes that a person blinded by jealousy would make are extremely detailed.

“What if Ilya or her child really did this?

” I closed my eyes and made a sound of pain.

What should I do?

It felt like my head was in a mess.

Fer is a very precious wife, but Ilina was a precious bond just

like Ilina. In an instant, like a devoted couple, the sore finger that I couldn’t let go of.

She and I It was a silent moment.

“Then…”

I say quietly,

“Choosing between the two won’t be easy. But you’re my priority.”

”

Davy .”

Stop saying it.”

She interrupted me and came to me.

Then she sat down on the desk where I was sitting and grabbed my collar with her hand and brought her eyes

closer

. I continued to be silent again,

but it seemed meaningless to her even if I tried to hide it.

“No.”

At the same time as my answer, ”

How am I right?”

“Uld,”

she

smiled at my words.
