The wind soared even further and higher..

Everyone reflexively stretched out their hands. I guessed that all the questions I had so far were contained in that white paper that fluttered like flower petals and fell like the first snow. The gate opened slowly, but each person was busy reading the extra letter..

It's good.

“Vivianna!”

“Ian!”

The castle gate, which had been tightly closed, was suddenly wide open. She had never felt the beginning of the wind in her life, but this time she felt different..

This wind, this wind that orthodoxly drove the carriage, originated from the imperial palace. Specifically, Ian and his Ministry of Magic..

“The gates were opened.!”

“Mariv and Gale start an uprising?”

“What if this is true??”

“What's going on? Both princes were beheaded. Tsk tsk.”

“Aren’t these people bright-eyed? What happened.......”

“Come to think of it, the central nobles heard it the day before the closure. If they participated in the clash, they won't be safe either..”

“Wait, our business partner’s family also went to the palace the day before.!”

“The castle gate was opened? Everyone, stand in line.!”

Ian glanced at the disheveled scene and winked at the gatekeeper. This meant bringing in the carriage first. Five o'clock in the afternoon. Everything went according to plan. Vivianna, who was alone, was out of the plan..

“Get out of the way! will bring a carriage!”

Cheaeng! visor!

The gatekeepers raised their spears and opened the way. The carriage barely squeezed through the gap and entered the imperial palace. Ian asked as he helped Vivianna down..

“Vivianna, are you okay??”

“Yes, yes, yes. I have no injuries whatsoever. Ian, are you okay? What about your husband? Beric said he was safe, but I was worried........”

“Romandro is also safe with no injuries. 2 He is coming this way from the imperial palace, so we will meet him soon..”

“ha. Good luck, good luck.”

She pressed her chest and let out a sigh of relief. Ian frowned when he saw the blood stains on the wagon wheels..

“What happened??”

“ah! Berwick!”

Vivianna shouted as she wiped the sweat dripping from her chin. The last time I saw her she looked miserable. If it weren't for her magic swordsman, she would have died a long time ago, so she felt herself sinking and grabbed Ian's sleeve..

“As they were taking out the cover, they were attacked by assailants in black armor. Did you say Barsavera? At that time, the driver came to the mansion to pick up the ring. He helped me, but I don't know whether he is alive or dead. Beric too,.......”

He might be dead. Vivianna bit her lip to hold back her tears..

A monster in black armor. Ian immediately recognized it as a remnant of the Hyman family..

‘I thought the armor couldn't move..’

That is, if it is possible to judge rationally..

Gale, the deceiver, was still alive, and the duke was in an awkward situation in many ways. But then he brings his armor to the front and targets Ian's men? This was a defeat that was eating away at my flesh, and I could see that it was definitely not Duke Hyman's move..

‘Moreover, Duke Hyman's instructions could not have been received separately due to the castle gate being closed. There is a possibility that the order given in advance was carried out without reading the situation..’

It was a mistake to think that Beric would be able to stop it alone even if a few small pieces were attached. Ian kissed the back of her hand..

“Vivianna.”

It was a greeting full of gratitude and apology. Despite the fact that he had no injuries, he had long scratches. Ian hugged Vivianna and consoled her..

“Well done.”

“I'm glad it helped. Aren’t I also a person of Bariel? And one day, I will work for the imperial palace again..”

Vivianna smiled brightly and straightened her hair. She was sure she would be worried if Romandro saw her. She wanted to appear as casual as possible..

“Hey, Minister Ian Hiello? Is that correct??”

“That's right.”

“This is the president of the company that made the extra money! I'm so crazy about business cards. Ah ha! Hey, ma'am?”

Vivianna let out a small gasp at the man's glance asking her to introduce herself. Something's coming, now it's time to go.

“There were several circumstances. However, in the meantime, I took pictures of extras very quickly. As a tribute, how about publishing an exclusive inside report on the three days that took place in the imperial palace??”

Vivianna smiled slightly awkwardly. It may have been the best choice she could have made, she said, given the various circumstances. Ian smiled and nodded his head willingly..

“We advise the imperial palace not to contact other media outlets. There's a lot to take care of right now, so wait..”

“You and Vivianna are here to see the matter. I'm going to pick up Beric, but those without magic won't be much help. Hurry up and get the healing wizards out..”

“Ah, I see. Please be careful! If Beric, that bastard, dies, please tell me that he dies.!”

Hehehe!

Instead of answering, Ian punched the horse's side vigorously and soon ran out of the castle gate. Perhaps because the lockdown was lifted, the attention was not as focused as it was when Beric came out. Ian ran to where he was being guided by his escorts..

crackling!

“This way!”

“Get out of the way! get out of the way!”

“Oh my, what are you talking about??”

How long did it run? As I entered the alley, the smell of blood hit me. The speed of speech gradually slowed down. Togakdae could not hear anything other than the sound of horses' hooves..

“Hey, wow!”

A puddle of blood filled the front of the building. Although there were many shattered buildings here and there, there was not a single sign of popularity. Ian got off his horse and approached the fallen Beric..

“Berwick.”

“.......”

Even the expression “horrible” is too moderate. The left arm was disfigured and the leg was bent beyond the range of joints. All of my skin was chafed and soaked in blood, so I couldn't even tell where the wound was..

The guard covered his mouth at the gruesome sight and placed his finger under Beric's nose..

“Sue, I don't think she's breathing..”

“Move.”

Ian pushed him away and pressed his ear to his chest. Beric's tightly closed eyelids were torn..

“Lee, Ian.”

“Everyone shut up. Don't even make a sound.”

I couldn't hear properly due to the noise outside. You will hear the heartbeat. It will be heard clearly, clearly.

Ian opened his magic and poured it into him. Thump thump, something rings. Ian recognized that it was my heartbeat..

“Berwick.”

“.......”

“Berwick.”

Jiyiing. Jiing.

Jiing.

Ian lightly squeezed Beric's chin and shook him. Yet, it gave endless, limitless magical power. He is the guy who survived being gutted in the desert. He doesn't die like this..

“Berwick.”

Sweat dripped down the bridge of Ian's nose. She felt dizzy, but she didn't stop. A drop of sweat left a faint mark on Beric's neck..

“Berwick.”

“.......”

He winced, his eyelids moving slightly. Ian was surprised and focused his attention on his chest again. Thump thump, thump. I heard a heartbeat with a different beat..

“come to your senses.”

“...it's hard.”

“okay. Try talking and open your eyes.”

“Ian, oh, it really hurts..”

“Okay. wait.”

Jiying.

Other wizards also joined forces and infused magic power into Beric. Beric muttered with his eyes closed..

“...it's annoying. I lost.”

“It's okay because I lived. Do you remember what the heavenly men said? If you don't die, you haven't lost. Since I live, I will always win..”

“right? Ah, but I'm hungry.”

“Good work.”

“...beef.”

“okay.”

Beric chuckled, saying that he was finally qualified to eat beef. After saying those last words, he fainted again and did not come to his senses for a long time..
