[ Episode 230. Agent ]

“Has he gone?”



“Yes, Your Highness.”

Looking out the window, Michaela stood silent for a moment at the reply of Mary Bisping, the escort driver.

And after a while, he opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty?”

“No news.”

“okay.”

And again, silence enveloped the room, and Michaela’s motionless gaze was still looking out the window.

“I must have been too greedy.”

“I was never greedy. How greedy is His Highness to aim for the throne next to the legitimate heir of Rodlenn?”

“Thanks to you, my life is now in danger.”

Mary couldn’t answer Michaela’s words.

She said no, but in fact Mary was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

They stepped into an abyss too deep.

“His Majesty said so. I will give you one of your children.”

“Your Highness, that’s...”

“I want to live.”

It was a low but sincere word, and Mary was unable to say anything.

“If I can live even if I am sent to Count Cromwell, I will gladly accept it.”

“......I will always be by your side.”

“Thank you, Mary.”

succession to the throne.

A place that any emperor’s children would aim for.

Already, some people felt inferior in power and bowed their heads to strong candidates, but it was not Michaela.

she was ambitious

dream of becoming emperor.

“Still, the option of going to Count Cromwell would only be to earn time.”

“I guess so.”

“Your Majesty wants to deal with him at once after sending me to the Count.”

Michaela worked hard for that dream.

As a result, he learned all kinds of secrets of the imperial family, among them things that should not be known to the public.

Among the mysteries she learned, there was also the matter of Kane Cromwell, the predecessor of Cromwell, and the imperial family, and the fact that the black magicians she despised were actually partners with the emperor.

“The secret affair of the Cromwell family is not yet over. Even if His Majesty returned the Cromwell estate, it probably has something to do with it.”

“Nevertheless, the best move for us is Earl Cromwell after all.”

“It’s painful not having options.”

Mary asked cautiously at the sighing Michaela.

“Wouldn’t it be helpful if you let Earl Cromwell know about this? He is now emerging as one of the most prominent nobles in Laudelen. Even His Majesty will not be able to openly attack.”

“I already used him once. There’s no way he wouldn’t know that either. It’s my failure that I didn’t know that His Majesty would use this tactic with a reward. Of course, the count refused and became sluggish, but he’s not your majesty to stay still.”

“But at least try it...”

Mary sent a desperate glance.

Michaela turned her head to look at her escort knight and nodded.

“okay. I have to do something. I can’t die like this.”

“I will secretly contact you.”

“thanks. please.”

Soon Mary shook her head and disappeared, and Michaela looked out the window again.

The scenery outside the window was calm, but the silence felt like the night before a storm.

“What choice did I have to make? Should I have just kept my head down like the other siblings?”

Contrary to what she said, both of her eyes burned.

A desire that cannot be hidden.

That strong heart did not regret this choice.

Michaela Rodlen The third princess of the Rodelian Empire.

She wasn’t giving up on the next emperor.

The place I arrived with Vivian was an orphanage.

It existed in a slum on the outskirts of the capital, but the buildings were in fairly good condition.

“orphanage?”

“yes. Come in.”

Leaving Vivian’s questioning eyes behind her, she entered the premises.

Inside, countless children were running around and playing in the vacant lot within the orphanage’s fence.

“They are bright.”

“I see.”

As Vivian said, the children looked good.

I was a little surprised to see that they looked better than the children of the families living in the slums.

“customer?”

“I’m glad.”

“Even if Evan-nim isn’t around, if you have any other business you need, feel free to tell me. You have been told to take care of the convenience as much as possible, so please feel free to use it.”

Otto poured tea with those words and smiled softly.

If he had used a pseudonym, he looked like a nice person to the extent that he would have been confused about the fact that he was a Zefar cult fanatic.

“thank you. Let me know.”

“Evan is a really nice person. With the money you make from taking over this world, you’re helping people in need. This orphanage is also part of it. Of course, it is often used as a meeting place like this, but it doesn’t change the fact that we are helping children.”

It seems that you haven’t abandoned your habit in the Holy Land.

It didn’t really matter to me, it didn’t matter.

“To be honest, you seem more like the director of an orphanage than Sir Evan’s subordinate. I can’t believe I ran an organization.”

“haha. thank you In fact, although I said I managed the organization, I was only in the role of giving orders at my desk, so this might be a better fit.”

A lot of lies just come out so easily.

Then Vivian, who had been quiet until now, opened her mouth.

“lie.”

“yes?”

“A person who only gives orders at a desk cannot have a body like that.”

Vivian, who suddenly intervened, looked at Otto warily.

“Dangerous atmosphere. Not even an ordinary prosecutor.”

“Ahaha...... Yes, in fact, managing such a shadowy organization cannot be without force. At first, I did it with my body. But not anymore.”

“The smell of blood.”

“......yes?”

“I smell blood every time I open my mouth.”

A moment of silence passed.

Otto was still looking at us with a smile, but the atmosphere was a bit bizarre.

“Vivian.”

“hmm?”

“That person is on the same side. You don’t have to be so vigilant.”

“okay.”

I said I understood, but Vivian was ready to protect me at any time with the position or angle of her body.

“Looks like I’ve created a bit of an awkward situation.”

“no. My party did this because they were worried about me, so please don’t think too hard about it.”

I said this, but my head was racing furiously.

My body was already stamped by the Zefar Church.

There was no way that Otto, the leader of the Order, did not know me.

Besides, he is Evan’s subordinate.

It was as if a spy had entered our power.

‘So I have to deal with it quickly.’

Otto Muzonov is strong.

If possible, I wanted to solve it safely.

smart smart

“This is Evan.”

Evan, who said he would come soon, arrived really quickly.

He was still dressed in dark clothes and unshaven, but his eyes were clear.

“I didn’t know that my lord would find me already.”

“I have something to ask of you.”

Otto and Vivian turned their heads at the same time at Evan’s words, “Master.”

Both of them had slightly surprised expressions, but apart from Vivian, Otto didn’t know that either.

“boss. Was Sir Cromwell the lord of the boss?”

“That’s right.”

When Evan affirmed, I thought the time had come and opened my mouth.

“Are you curious?”

“yes? Yes, it is. Maybe the boss is so famous that I can’t believe he’s following someone...” “

I think it’s too much. If it becomes known to the public, it will probably have a big impact.”

“Even if I think so.”

“so.”

I put my chin on and slowly chined.

“Are you going to tell me?”

“yes? It can’t be. There is no reason to speak.”

“I will thoroughly crack down on your mouth, sir.”

Evan doesn’t seem to know that Otto is a spy.

“A reason to tell you... isn’t it?”

“What do you mean...”

“Otto Muzonov.”

I met my eyes with Otto’s innocent eyes.

And he smiled softly and said it again.

“Shouldn’t we report to the Zefar Church?”
