Chapter 84

Irene rested her chin and looked out the window of the fast-moving carriage.

I didn’t know what he was thinking. However, it seemed a bit boring. Said Ruid, who seemed to know the cause of boredom.

“...Are you mad?”

Amelia, who was sitting in the same stiff posture as Luid, flinched and looked at Irene.

“huh?”

But Irene smiled brightly, as if it was the last time she had made such an expression.

‘That’s scarier.’

“Dry it.”

Amelia won the duel, and Irene really tried to kill everyone.

The appearance was like a reaper trying to harvest the promised life.

Ruid stopped him because he didn’t think it would be a good idea to kill him. Irene was not pleased, but when he stopped her, she sheathed the sword as if she had no choice.

It’s been like that ever since.

“little?”

Irene said playfully.

I rested my chin again and looked out the window, and said with an expressionless face.

“I think my younger siblings sometimes get frustrated. Even though Louis is young.”

Irene looked at Amelia with a strange smile again.

“Dear Amelia, why did you do that?”

“S-sorry. sister.”

“Honestly, I thought two or three of them were already dead. But you didn’t kill even one person. “Our cute Lia is so kind.”

In front of Irene, Amelia was a squat person. Even now, he was holding his knees and lowering his head.

Irene, seeing this, opened her mouth.

“Windsor’s status has been declining from generation to generation.”

“...!”

“The matriarch said that when she was taking the test, no one dared to make eye contact with her. These days, the number of nobles who look straight into my eyes is increasing. It’s much worse than 7 years ago. Probably forgotten. “For ordinary people or nobles, Windsor would be too far away.”

Irene poked Ruid on the cheek.

“The time has come to show it. “Louis.”

Ruid looked at Irene blankly.

“For those who have forgotten Windsor, clarify what Windsor is. Sister, I hope it starts with Ruid’s magic.”

He looked quite serious.

But Irene smiled brightly, as if she had never done that before.

“joke. “There’s no way I would want to conquer the world or overthrow an empire, right?”

“Well, if you do that, where will I sleep?”

“My arms?”

Luid’s complexion became pale.

Just then the carriage stopped.

But Irene didn’t move.

“I’ll just go now.”

“I’ll see you later.”

Ruid felt sad inside. It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I wanted to stay a little longer.

Irene stroked Ruid’s head and shook her head.

“You shouldn’t leave it empty for too long. Because I came in a hurry and left a letter. Even Griffin will die if he doesn’t starve anymore. “Then you have to walk.”

‘Is that a bit harsh?’

I think he came riding a griffin.

Irene hugged Ruid and got him off the carriage.

“Goodbye.”

“Please be careful, sister, too.”

“Goodbye, sister.”

Ruid waved his hand and was about to enter the mansion when he felt a strong current of air and turned around.

‘Something like strange madness.’

But Irene was just waving her hand with an angelic face.

‘I guess I didn’t feel it right.’

Ruid waved his hands once more and looked at the mansion.

“Haaam.”

“Are you sleepy?”

“huh. “Because I’ve been moving around a lot these days.”

“Very, interesting.”

Lucius’ eyes fell.

“okay. Take it out. “What is that?”

Lucius knew what was in that bundle.

I wasn’t really surprised because I had already experienced it once.

Irene didn’t answer for a moment, then glanced at the nobles and spoke.

“However, my thoughts have changed. I heard a meeting outside. “I must share this gift with everyone.”

It is blasphemous to listen to a meeting of the noble council. But none of them could complain to Irene Windsor.

she is dangerous

This is a thought that naturally comes to mind when a normal person sees Irene.

“The Teutonic Knights’ operational command.”

Irene turned her back and headed to the table.

“I’m in trouble.”

“...!”

The nobleman who first mentioned the proposal flinched.

“because.”

Irene stretched out her hand on the table with a quiet laugh.

He lifted the bag upside down and spilled the contents. With a

crunching

sound, several nobles nauseated.

It was a human face.

The face of a person who has been completely disfigured.

Charon, Maximus.

“I just came here after killing the vice-captain of the Teutonic Knights.”

“....”

“It’s a shame, what should I do? “What gift should I prepare as a token of apology?”

Irene smiled brightly.

I put my back and took about two steps back. He lightly turned to the emperor and bowed.

“I offer this as a representative of the Duke of Windsor.”

“...Speak.”

“This Teutonic Knights committed a great sin. Pointing a sword at an escort is a felony. First of all, only one person was dealt with, but the rest of the people who did not stop him are also at fault. Originally, it would have been appropriate to kill everyone – but I suggest it because the victim did not want that.”

Irene straightened her back.

He said with an expressionless face.

“The Duke of Windsor wants the Teutonic Knights to be disbanded.”

“....”

The important thing was to secure a ‘strong’ force that could be ‘freely’ operated without going through the noble council.

The disbandment of the Knights Templar is actually what Lucius had hoped for. It’s a knighthood, we just need to create a new one. That way we can get off this agenda and bury this mistake.

Perhaps Irene was aiming for that too.

However, Lucius felt something strange.

From dozens of necks, it was reduced to one neck.

As if he wanted nothing more, he prevented the imperial authority from being weakened.

Nevertheless, one cannot help but doubt Irene Windsor’s intentions.

‘The way things are handled is overly cruel.’

Her actions were not something someone with a normal mind would do.

Even if you look at Windsor’s documents throughout history, there was no successor like this.

Therefore, Lucius did not want Irene to become his successor.

She is the one who will bring about many storms of blood.

She considers human life worse than insects, and it is impossible to count the number of people she has killed so far.

It would be a talent that could not have been greater in a time of war, but it cannot be welcomed in an era of peace like now.

Lucius said, hiding those feelings deep inside.

“good night. I decide to accept Irene Windsor’s offer. “Do you have any objection to this?”

The nobles bowed their heads. It seems like he doesn’t want to bother Irene.

Lucius smiled.

He looked at Irene and said.

“Say thank you to the Duke of Windsor. “Thank you for handling a potentially awkward situation.”

“No, I am a loyal subject going to Windsor.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

But behind that smile there is a knife hidden.

‘The successor to the Windsor family must be Amelia Windsor. Perhaps this could decide the fate of the empire.’

A thought I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Due to this incident, that perception was ingrained in Lucius’ mind.
