Chapter 219

[ Episode 219. Vortex ]

Colorfully shining eyes stared at Maximin.

Sensing a suspicious energy in the moment, Maximin tilted his head.

“This is not Luna or Pendragon. Who is it?”

“Maximin Cronell.”

Luna called his name.

However, as Maximin said, she was no longer Luna.

“Is it Eve Millennium?”

“I was going to go quietly, but you dared to call my name.”

“It’s ugly. If you wanted to remain like that, you should have let me live.”

Monsieur looked at the two with a bewildered face at the sudden change of atmosphere.

“You can’t insult me when I’m already dead by being so sarcastic.”

“It is also black magic. Excluding the magician’s intentions, it was activated at will. It seems that you did not come out of Luna or Pendragon’s will, but it is a terrible magic.”

“Maximin, I have already made up my mind to bury the past in the past. So please, don’t say anything wrong to this child.”

“Eve Millennium. The you I knew wasn’t that strong of a motherly love.”

“Human beings can change with experience. Especially I’ve been through something called death. I think that is enough reason for me to change.”

A chilly atmosphere enveloped the surroundings.

While looking at each other silently for a while, Timur slowly got up.

-Kreur.

“Is that Adrias? I get it. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid.”

– Kheung.

Eve, who was watching this, let out a strange laugh.

“Even Maximin Cronel of the world can’t move. Have you found any weaknesses?”

“Think whatever you want.”

Maximin completely ignored it.

Eve, who became more interested in the reaction, took a look at Timur and asked Maximin.

“Looks like you found a clue from God, right?”

“God’s clue? that wasn’t my goal. I just don’t care as long as Isabelle is safe.”

“The woman in the coffin? Are you sure you woke up?”

“I don’t know anything. Didn’t your daughter tell you?”

Eve frowned.

And muttered as if he didn’t understand.

“That was definitely a powerful blessing from God. You said it was a curse, but it was definitely a blessing. you deleted it? Adrias Cromwell, a mere human?”

“You seem to have forgotten that you and the body you are borrowing are also human.”

The eyes of Eve, who borrowed Luna’s body, shone more and more.

As if he had found a fun toy, Maximin said quietly.

“That makes it even more interesting. I can’t help but be surprised that a mere mortal broke the divine protection.”

“If you touch Adrias, I will kill you.”

“Am I already dead?”

“I’m not kidding. Killing your daughter would kill you.”

– Kheung!

Timur growled and intervened between Eve and Maximin.

Eventually, Maximin turned his head first and walked away.

“I’ll look around for a while and come back.”

“It’s fun, it’s fun. Your weak side and the divine ability that Adrias Cromwell had. I hope that someday I will be able to meet your fiancée, a vampire named Isabelle. do you know As you know, my lineage is a family that once served God. Maybe we can find something.”

Maksiman just disappeared without answering.

In the end, Eve Millennium, who was left with the undead and a small human child, turned her gaze and spoke to Timur.

“Adrias Cromwell, are you listening? Taking good care of my daughter didn’t mean taking care of it, but you’re using it well. Luna is not a piece on a chessboard.”

-Kreung.

“I am always by her side, watching and listening. Keep that fact in mind.”

Eve quietly closed her eyes.

Monsieur, who had been silent at the sudden incident, slowly approached Timur.

“Are you okay? Can I go home?”

– sniff!

Timur’s huge hand stroked the boy’s head.

**

Bang!

“You’re crazy, you’re crazy!”

Northern Ardi Territory.

Thanks to ambiguous geographic requirements, it was rather a place that avoided this war.

Had it not been for Pione Ardi’s deal, Marquis Ardi, who would have had to leave the territory and join the front line, folded the letter that came to him finely and put it in his arms and stood up.

“I can’t.”

He left the office thinking about the contents of the letter from his daughter.

Thanks to her hard work for her family, she was able to escape the chaos of war, but the letter she had just read was too dangerous.

“dismissal!”

“What is it?”

Marquis Ardi, who was about to head somewhere in a hurry, stopped when he saw the family butler who suddenly appeared.

The butler lowered his head and immediately opened his mouth.

“His Highness Alven has arrived.”

“what?”

The pupils of Marquis Ardi shook at the appearance of an unexpected person.

‘No. If I got caught, it wouldn’t have ended like this.’

Rather, it was only this kind of thing, so I was able to confirm that I hadn’t been caught.

In particular, the emperor’s tyranny, which has been intensifying recently, has supported this fact.

If so, it can be seen that the royal family literally did not keep their promise.

“I have a lot on my mind. Are you dissatisfied?”

“It can’t be. I was worried about whether it was okay for my family to be comfortable like this. Rather fortunate.”

“It is a lie.”

Bahat sighed and said clearly.

“yes?”

“Who do you think I am? Do you think I really don’t know anything?”

A strange tension permeated the drawing room.

Except for Burial, the rest of the characters carefully watched Bahat’s eyes.

“Everyone, get out for a while. I have something to say to Lord Ardi alone.”

“yes.”

The sub-top owner answered as a representative and dragged everyone out.

Bahat laughed when the two of them had a place like that.

“You have a daughter?”

“That’s right. She is an older daughter who entered Rodlen Academy this year.”

“Why did I bring up your daughter?”

As Bahat continued to speak with a smile on his face, Marquis Ardi wiped the sweat from his forehead before he knew it.

“Because I attend the same academy as Her Highness’s daughter...?”

“Don’t make me say it three times. Do you think I know nothing?”

In the end, Marquis Ardi swallowed dry saliva and lowered his head.

“Probably the same as what you know. I’m sorry for pretending not to know, Your Highness.”

“I’m not talking about you who didn’t go to the battlefield. Rather, the fortress is a noble virtue. A war in which there is not much to be gained by going out and shedding blood anyway. What you and your daughter did was right.”

Marquis Ardi bowed deeply at Bahat’s words and waited for the words to follow.

“But the other party broke the promise first.”

“......yes.”

“Aren’t you angry?”

“How dare I...”

“Hey Lord Ardi. I know you’re taking care of the Emperor, but that doesn’t come from loyalty. Let’s be honest.”

Marquis Ardi touched his forehead with an embarrassed look at Bahat’s troubled words.

“I know that you are dealing with warlocks under the secret approval of the imperial family. That’s probably why the Ardi family is pro-emperor faction.”

“Hmm.”

“As I said earlier, these little guys are making disturbing moves. And this is an opportunity.”

“I can’t believe it’s an opportunity.......”

“It’s a fight with a lot to eat, unlike fighting with barbarians. But at this rate, I’ll just have to fight a local war with the savages, who doesn’t know when it will end. His Majesty must have sent me here for that purpose.”

Marquis Ardi’s head started spinning.

The opportunity that Bahat spoke of was obviously a war with other countries with fertile land.

“Your Majesty will defeat all troops in the North except for me and a few families. We’ve already gathered all the troops, so there’s no need to recruit them, just attack them like this.”

“Your Highness, can I take a moment to think about it?”

“I know.”

Things were getting bigger than expected.

The Marquis Ardi thought quietly, but at this rate, his family was in a position to be mobilized in a war of attrition that would only cost them a lot of damage.

Upon learning of the Emperor’s thoughts, he began to suspect that Pione’s treachery was in fact known.

‘If it’s already known... even if it’s not known, if we keep going like this, only our family will degenerate while other families grow.’

It didn’t matter now whether the emperor knew or not.

The edict had already been issued, and the Ardi family had to become watchdogs while others went to get the sweet fruit.

In the meantime, the Marquis suddenly remembered Pione’s letter again.

“majesty.”

“Are you done thinking?”

“That’s right. I see how things work.”

“What I want is simple. We smash the barbarians with all our might. quickly and accurately. That’s why the other aristocrats do it so cleanly that no words come out, and we join as a latecomer. You’ll need quite a bit of your family’s strength to do that.”

Marquis Ardi hesitated for a moment.

Can I tell Bahat exactly what is in my head right now?

But that hesitation soon dissipated.

To fall behind in aristocratic society meant death.

Even if the influence is not visible right now, if things continue like this, the Ardi Marquis family could become extinct in the next generation.

“majesty. In fact, I have one piece of information for you.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“It’s like we’re on the same boat at the point where we’ve already received the eomyeong.”

“Hehe. yes.”

“Whoa.”

Marquis Ardi let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth.

“Adrias Cromwell.”

When a completely unexpected name appeared, Bahat tilted his head, widening his eyes.

Why is Adrias Cromwell suddenly here?

“Why is Adrias suddenly...?”

At his question, Marquis Ardi slowly opened his mouth.

“Maybe our way of life depends on Earl Cromwell.”
