CH 108

Episode 108

Silence lay in the table surrounded by the Housekeepers.

At nine o’clock in the morning, it was originally time to sit in the classroom with eyes closed because of sleepiness.

“Let’s start the meeting.”

An unwavering and daunting voice echoed through the Sacred Hall.

‘Let’s be alert.’’

I couldn’t sleep well because of the strange dream I had during the night.

So my eyes were a little stiff and my head was a little blank, but I had to stay awake as much as I could.

If I stay vigilant, I will be greeted with sharp questions from the Duke of Ace.

“As it is an irregular meeting, I will skip unnecessary procedures as much as I can. Let’s start with the results of the special investigation.”

As soon as I heard the word “special investigation,” I came to my senses.

‘Is there something you can call an achievement?’

Information was needed to defeat the monster, but the information was extremely lacking.

Seeing that something came out, I didn’t know I could find a clue to catching the monster.

“To add one thing, we have received reports that the royal family also conducted its own investigation, apart from the special commission’s activities.”

At the words of the Duke of Ace, Duke Jacqueline raised his hand and asked for a say.

“The results of the imperial investigation have not been made public, Mr Trump?”

“I have conveyed my position to the imperial family, but I have received a reply that there is nothing to deliver because there has been no result yet.”

Duke Leonhart frowned at the words of the Duke of Ace.

He seemed to think that the imperial family deliberately hid the results of the investigation.

There’s a possibility of both.

No one thought that the 7 Imperial families and the Royal family were hostile to each other, but there was unexpectedly a subtle check between the two forces.

Therefore, Duke Leonhart’s guess was reasonable.

But it has only been a few days since Cassius brought up the story of the imperial investigation.

There was a possibility that it was true that the results had not yet been released because it had not been long since the Imperial investigation began.

“First of all, I’ll hand it over to you as soon as the results come out, so don’t worry.”

The Duke of Ace asked the Duke of Joker.

“They’ll eventually give it to us, but won’t it take a long time? There’s a possibility that they’ll put it off and give it to us when they can’t handle it.”

“First of all, I don’t think sharing will be a big loss. If you think so, I’m going to create an incentive for the Imperial family to share information.”

“I think it’s okay. Now is not the time to fight with the Imperial family.”

The Duke of Jacqueline opened his mouth in a firm voice.

“We need to come up with a plan as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing the Duke of Jacqueline, the Duke of Ace wrote down something with a quill pen.

“Then I’ll put it to the second half of the vote on this issue.”

The majestic voice of the Duke of Ace echoed through the hall, and some of the Duke nodded.

The rest of the operations did not raise objections.

‘By the way, the Duke of Diamond is silent again today.’

Sitting next to my seat, he kept his head down and only looked at the papers before his eyes.

I was worried that the Duke of Diamond’s health had deteriorated because Rayl suddenly returned home.

‘How did he come to the meeting, Doesn’t he overdoing it?’

At that very moment, the Duke of Diamond looked up.

The face, which was as red as a ghost, lost more weight than last time, and his cheeks were hollow.

I got creepy goosebumps somehow.

The empty green eyes gave me that feeling when I looked straight at them.

Though it was definitely the same colour as Rayl, it lost its lustre and looked like the eyes of the dead.

“Duke of Spade.”

The sound of calling me brought me to my senses.

“Yes.”

I answered as if nothing had happened.

‘We just made eye contact. Let’s not think strange things.’

Come to think of it, I felt strange.

Even though I was not a child, I was ashamed of myself who thought of ghosts when I saw the Duke of Diamond.

“I’ll ask you straight out. Answer honestly.”

The voice of the Duke of Ace, which was as cold as ice, made my heartache.

What, what else are you going to ask me?

For more,

“Stay away!”

A scream from behind was stuck in Cassius’ ears.

Looking back in amazement, he saw a tree that was bent as if something had hit it.

When he saw the thick, hard tree bent like taffy and dangling helplessly, Cassius seemed to cool his whole body.

“Gray, Grayson!”

“Is anybody here? There’s a man down here!

He could see a man’s arm under the broken tree.

‘No way.’

But contrary to Cassius’ wishes, it wasn’t the only one which made him couldn’t believe it.

On the stems and branches of the broken tree, white mana and golden mana were buried.
