Chapter 73

Chapter 15. Let me ask you just one thing (4)

Pavel, Knight of Silike.

Tail is Pavel’s vice-captain.

Tails was now sitting on the floor with a look on his face that had given up on everything.

It’s a miracle that I survived so far while avoiding the ice shot by the wizard. The words came out like a lightning bolt from the mouth of the boy who had cut off his friend’s head with a dagger the length of his forearm.

‘There is no need to bring it.’

Of course, it had to be Calian’s message.

This means that there is nothing to wonder about the background or anything else.

So Tails just gave up.

Either you will have a hole in your neck right away or your neck will disappear. I was trying to make a living by selling out my colleagues, but is it important to keep other people’s secrets now?

After I gave up, my mouth, which had always been heavy, opened of its own accord.

“You two, please wait a moment. I have a lot to say to the prince.”

If you somehow go to the palace, Silike will save your life. Tails was still thinking that way.

Therefore, Tail calmly stood with his hands folded and began to tell a bundle of stories as he pleased. This is because he thought that if he heard what he knew, he would not be able to resist being brought before Calian.

“You saved my life just in time. I received a request directly from the queen. Look, there is also a money bag here.”

I didn’t know that Tail’s words, which started like that, would end.

Tail didn’t just receive Silike’s money. He also received money from Lennon and Evan and did a lot of work for the price.

“I once dealt with a maid who was said to have delivered something from Lennon Brissen to Prince Calian’s valet. If necessary, I will testify.”

It was the story of a maid who disappeared after giving Jan her first cup of tea. Arsene had also heard something about it, and it seemed like that was Tail’s doing.

However, Arsene knew that Calian had already made an oath with Silike, saying that he would bury the matter.

Moreover, Tails also seemed to not know exactly why he killed the maid, so there was no need for such testimony now.

“It’s no use now. And the prince doesn’t even want to think about it.”

Arsene, who took a sip of strong coffee in front of Calian, said that. And then I looked at Kirie who was standing behind Tails. It meant that we should stop processing it now and go. Kirie took half a step forward.

– Jeopuk.

Tails, who realized that the sound of Kirie’s footsteps was the sound of a lifeline being cut, quickly stopped them.

“I can tell you one more important thing! This is really important.”

At those words, I heard Kirie step back again. Tails, relieved for a moment, quickly opened his mouth.

“Do you know where the Marquis’s finances come from?”

“Isn’t it a bribe?”

“Of course, that is a lot, but isn’t that irregular income? There is a separate source of regular funds. This is what I am in charge of after leaving the palace.”

In the end, Tails was able to open the box that had been tightly closed.

Tails lowered his voice with an expression that seemed like a secret trick.

“There is a private gambling house in Cairisis. The amount of money that comes and goes in a day while gambling on people is more than you can imagine. I will tell you where it is, so I can call you Cali...

” “Are you talking about the floor?”

Tails’ mouth closed quietly.

Anyway, Arsene asked while looking at Kyrie.

“Is that really the name of a bar?”

“Yes, it is.”

“That name is frivolous.”

“It looks like a bar on the outside, but there are gambling dens underground. It’s not particularly great information.”

Tail bit his lip and then opened his mouth with a solemn look on his face.

“Lennon Brissen. Do you know who he went missing for?”

Who is it?

“What does that mean?”

Kyrie took out a black robe from her horse’s saddle and handed it to Arsene. And then he finished talking about what Calian had said.

“He told me not to contact anyone and to rest at Lord Manasil’s mansion for five days.”

I don’t know the exact reason, but anyway, get some rest.

At those words, Arsene’s mouth fell into laughter.

A vacation is a vacation, but a vacation at Alan’s house.

I didn’t know whether to like this or hate it.

* * *

It was completely unexpected that the Marquis was running a gambling house. Even if it wasn’t immediate, it was useful information.

Another thing I didn’t know was that the Marquis was hiding his skills. Alan, who had listened to Kyrie’s words next to Calian, nodded and opened his mouth.

“I thought the Marquis got angry too quickly when I said I would buy a Brissen top.”

Alan was thinking of Evan, who immediately showed his will to kill when he said he was a ‘knife wielder’.

“Then he quickly became obedient again, so maybe he was acting like that on purpose to blind me.”

At those words, Calian nodded as if he could do that.

“Once I meet the Marquis, I will be able to confirm exactly. Now that I can attend the central noble meeting, there will be many opportunities.”

Soon Kalian wrote a few words on a small piece of paper and handed it to Jan.

“Send it to me now. You can send it to the Marquis.”

The idea was to send Jeon Seo-gu.

After Yan received it and went out, Kalian encouraged Kyrie with a short word about her hard work and then sent her away to rest.

When I was left alone with Alan, he manifested silence.

Calian stared at Alan’s face because it meant he had something to say to Calian.

“Your Highness wanted to meet in person the person who tried to harm the Vice Commander of the Wizards.”

The question was, why did they go out of their way to kill everyone instead of holding on to Tails?

Calian looked at the pouch on the table. The thing with fresh blood stains was the money bag that Silike had handed to Tail.

“If Pavel was still one of the knights in the palace, he would have done that, but not now. He is now a Marquis, not a Silike, so he would have been involved in Lennon’s affairs as well.”

In the past, he ran errands for Silike, but now he has become Evan’s hand and foot. That’s why they didn’t catch them and killed them all. The reason was simple.

“If that person is held captive in the palace, the Marquis will be on guard. He may be telling me under the pretext of secrets that he will reveal, but he will be on edge because he does not know what I will ask for.”

After saying that, Kalyan pointed to the rye cookie in front of Alan. I sent so much that no matter how much I eat, it never decreases.

“I haven’t even met the other nobles yet. That’s why the Marquis shouldn’t be interested in me yet. For now, it’s better to just let the tug-of-war between Gray and Silike unfold.”

In other words, it was said that Evan, who was wary of Calian, was trying to prevent him from joining hands with Silike again.

Calian could not deal with Sillike and Evan at the same time. It has not yet become that powerful. So metallurgical metallurgy was reducing their power.

Lennon and Gray were taken out of Silike’s hands. And Gray became the cause, and the relationship between Silike and Evan began to fall apart.

Kalian planned to take advantage of it while maintaining its condition as much as possible.

Soon Calian patted the pocket on the table and grinned.

“Instead, Silike should become more anxious.”

Tails is dead. The nine knights who were with Tail also died together.

But Arsene also disappeared. For the next five days, it would not be possible to know whether Arsene was alive or dead.

If Arsene was alive, what would he have heard from Tails?

If you had heard it, would you have told it to Calian?

And what will Calian do with Silike who attacked his limbs?

etc.

“You have to think about it to your heart’s content.”

A deep smile appeared on Calian’s lips as he thought of the silique that would cover his head.
