“...Why?”

Demon King Finar asked back at his subordinate’s report, with a slight grimace on his face.

“Ha, we received an apology saying that they had intended to contact us, but because of the possibility of the culprit escaping, they had no choice but to act first. In reality, they wanted to take the initiative in this matter to improve the reputation of the Rogard Empire and prove their autonomy.”

“The Royal Guard boys were the ones who were responsible for the capture, right? Has the senate not heard anything from them?”

“Yes, they actually have, it seems. However, it appears that the Senate has delayed the communication back to us about this matter because they wanted to settle it on their own, so much so that they even decided to mobilize the Royal Guards to handle it. There will be a more polite apology from the senate side about this as well.” Tôp novel updates on n/(o)/v/elb/in(.)com

“Hah... I see. If this decision was made after the report of the Royal Guard boys that something was wrong, then this matter had become really a big deal and was already too much for the senate to handle on their own, right?”

“Yes. I don’t know about the other senators, but I think that the current Senate President was certainly thinking of things far ahead than any of them. In his negotiations with us, he has shown excellent coordination throughout. In particular, I have to commend the promptness of the timing of handing over the helm of the investigation to us after the subject was secured.”

The presence of a scapegoat meant that the enemy had something they wanted to set us up on.

This means that not all the information we had obtained so far was accurate.

So even though Finar had also determined that Alveiro was not the real culprit, he did not consider him to be in the [Clear] as well.

Alveiro Verbaan.

A moderate nobleman who had been a member of the Senate since the time of former Emperor Shendra.

He was a middle-ranking senator and did not hold any special position, but he had his own private school, and as a thinker, he had a great deal of influence in political and business circles, as well as acquaintances in various fields.

It was confirmed that he had a personal friendship with the former emperor Shendra, and he was expected to be able to hold an important position such as chairman if he served in the Senate for a few more years.

He was one of the commanding officers during the Battle of the Undead Dragon, but since the empire’s defeat in the war, he had been criticized for the current state of government, and was therefore being marked by the intelligence community.

After continuing to investigate the scene at the stadium and airfield, this senator came to light.
