Chapter 92

Chapter 18. I had a lot (6)

that late night.

A horse galloped through Kairisis.

The ears of Marquis Evan Briesen were also within the capital’s police force.

The ears ran busily, ignoring the law that prohibited horses from running within the capital city. It was to inform Evan about what happened at the gambling house.

Thanks to this, Evan received the news faster than anyone else and calmly sent him away.

And then I started thinking.

In the past, when he decided to let Arsene sleep for two days, it was Kalian who decided to keep quiet about the gambling house. Of course, I didn’t think he would keep his promise forever, but I never thought he would betray me so quickly.

“It’s revenge for Plantz’s betrayal.”

And this was Evan’s conclusion.

The driver who was Pavel’s leader, who was standing next to Evan, said.

“That’s right. Other than that, there is no reason to suddenly attack that place.”

Neither of them had thought that Evan had done this to avoid raising suspicions about the relationship between Calian and Plantz.

Anyway, it is true that Evan was very embarrassed.

If you’re going to take evidence, you should take it quietly. Not only did they kill you, but you ended up getting caught by the security forces.

Evan, who was thinking like that, suddenly clenched his fists.

This was because I learned why Calian’s servant was caught so foolishly.

“You got caught on purpose. On purpose.”

“What do you mean by that?”

The driver asked, and Evan looked at him and briefly explained.

“Isn’t this something that should have been investigated by the security forces? That’s why he was deliberately caught so that the royal family could investigate.”

“Are you saying you wanted to keep the Marquis from getting involved?”

Evan nodded.

“I thought I would get involved and have the royal family investigate directly.”

As they say, in order to rule out Evan’s influence, the royal family must conduct a direct investigation. However, in the royal family, unless it was directly related to the royal family, they could not take the initiative. Of course, it is impossible for Calian to have anything to do with the gambling house, so even if Kyrie had something to do with it, it would have been difficult for the royal family to step forward unless it was the royal family’s own business.

And there is only one case where the royal family steps in for something that is not related to the royal family. When the royal family asks the constabulary to investigate the case.

“The person caught as the culprit is said to be the prince’s servant, so how can the security forces punish him? So, the security forces will send a request to the royal family. If that happens, won’t the royal family ‘have no choice’ but to proceed with the investigation of the incident?”

“If that happens, wouldn’t the Marquis no longer be able to quietly cover up what happened at the gambling hall?”

“That’s right... He’s a formidable guy. He’s truly a formidable guy.”

Evan muttered in a very sharp voice.

And I started thinking about how to solve this problem.

* * *

It will be an escort throughout.

Hearing these words from the security forces, Dekal, the captain of the capital security force, tilted his head. Does the 3rd prince need an escort? It was because of a question.

‘But unless you are a person of considerable skill, this is impossible, Captain.’

Forty-seven died.

Whether they were using swords, axes, or poisoned memorabilia like the woman found in the safe, all but one of the men lying dead in front of the bars had weapons.

An ordinary boy cannot kill a forty-seven-year-old warrior with one sword and no magical bullets. That’s why his crew looked at Kirie and thought he was a bodyguard.

* * *

Alan’s carriage, which was said to be as safe as Arpia Palace, was probably as comfortable as Calian’s bathtub. It’s not that I haven’t ridden this carriage before, but my remaining stamina was different between then and now.

So it was natural for him to fall asleep, but Kirie just sat there with the same expression on her face. Alan, who was looking at this, suddenly asked.

“I don’t think what the prince ordered was their extermination. Isn’t that the kind of person who would order you to do something like that?”

Kyrie smiled slightly.

“Do you feel a bit relieved after having to kill them all?”

Even if they weren’t all killed, the security forces would come and the results of the investigation would be the same. So did Calian really order everyone at the gambling hall to be killed?

Probably not, thought Alan.

“The prince said it was up to me to decide who to kill and who to save.”

Not sparing any of the people involved was like Arsene throwing a fireball at the carriage. That day, I ran through the playground of Reddington’s estate countless times and used the sword as I had learned.

“I took revenge to my heart’s content, believing that the prince would take responsibility for it. That makes me feel refreshed.”

When Allen saw Kirie like that, he didn’t say foolish things like saying she was too careful with her hands. What can I say when I say I killed a murderer?

“Yes. It’s better than being forced to get rid of everything by telling them to get rid of it all.”

“It probably wouldn’t have been any different even if I was forced to do it.”

At those words, Alan’s buried curiosity resurfaced.

“What do you see in the prince that makes you act like that?”

Kirie is now seventeen. Same age as Jan. It is curious that such a boy came back after killing 47 people and said that even if the prince had forced him to do it, he would have done it willingly.

“The prince did not tell me what I experienced during the time he spent there. The prince said that he was the king and knight of Secretia. If I had a relationship with that prince, it would mean that I left here and went to Secretia.”

Kirie said that and looked at the sword in her hand.

“At first, the prince said he would only save me. I don’t think he knew that Hina was with him. Even though he knew that Hina was with him, he wasn’t the only one who would look for me. Then, after saving both of us, he kept asking questions to Hina, not me.”

The voice that continued calmly cracked at the end.

Kirie swallowed dry saliva and opened her mouth again, looking at Allen.

“He asked if Hina’s ear had been cut off or cut off, or if she had been unable to speak from the beginning. It was as if he had seen Hina for the first time. Afterwards, he said he was glad to know that nothing had happened to us. Thinking back on that day, I understand why. It was the same. What would I have gone through and gone to Secretia?”

Kyrie finished speaking, holding the handle of the sword tightly.

“That’s why you act like this.”

Alan just nodded without saying another word in response to Kyrie’s words, saying that he had already found out what Calian had saved.

Anyway, Kalian has a unique talent for getting caught everywhere. I’m getting caught somehow.

* * *

Early that morning, a big fire broke out in the central branch of the police force.

No one was injured, but evidence related to the gambling house stored at the branch was incinerated.

It was not something Evan ordered, and it was something that the person who served as Evan’s ‘ear’ did on his own.

“What kind of guy is that Kalyan? He would have handed over all the evidence to the security forces! It’s already piled neatly in that bastard’s room!”

So, instead of compliments, the person who was acting as an ear heard this roar.

Evan was really upset.

“The fire you set will only attract more attention. Isn’t that so!”

In the end, Evan gave up on his plan to just cut off the tail.

He barely succeeded in blaming the mistake by choosing a nobleman who followed him instead of the tail, and thanks to this, his power was reduced once again.

That day . At night,

the pretty prince who was wandering in front of Evan’s house grabbed Evan’s ‘ear’ and was so frightened by all the threats he made, that Evan had no idea that his ear had set the police on fire.
