147 Violence is loaded with love.

It was almost impossible for me and Erissaman to find Izel in this vast Divinum Sanctuary. It'll take days to search before Divinum does.

So the first thing I did to find Ezekiel was put a quest into the Information Guild.

The Information Guild is good at finding people. As long as you give me a lot of money, I'll soon be able to find the noblewoman who ran away.

In one restaurant. I was waiting for the news of the Information Guild while dining with Erisa.

I used the runway to gather information about Duchess Rupert.

“Erisa, what has your grandfather been up to? ”

Erisa replies.

“Just stay in shape for now. He sometimes calls his old acquaintances and talks. ”

“Really? What are you telling your acquaintances? ”

“I don't know, I feel like I'm saying hello. ”

It seems that Duke Rupert has entered intimacy through his previous work. No matter how sick I am, the relationship will be awkward because I've been wishing for it for more than a decade.

And from then on, I would gather people and count them. Perhaps the reason I came to Divinum Sanctuary was also very likely to happen in that context. Becoming in a relationship with me will be a great help to Duke Rupert.

The only question was whether Duke Rufet had come into the world so quickly. Originally, Duke Rupert would appear in the world in three years. That's when Old Cloud died.

‘Obviously. You thought Grandpa Cloud was dead. ’

Grandpa Cloud was still strangely longitudinal, and most people have no idea why. I was the only one next to Cloud when he disappeared.

That's why Grolmog had previously suspected that Grandpa Cloud might be dead, and many of the luxurious people are now confirming Grandpa's death. If Grandpa wasn't dead, there's no way he wouldn't show up.

In fact, the war against the Yosrahim Empire and the Orcs should have been right around winter last year, but Grandpa Cloud hadn't shown up until about five months later.

“You must have been in the bottle for a long time. You must have missed someone. ”

“Yes.”

“The Grand Duke must be suffering, by the way. ”

“What?”

“You have enlisted at the command of Emperor Yosrahim, right? The cost of getting in here is no joke. ”

Erisa nods.

“Yes, it has made the region financially worse. ”

“Really? How many are you preparing for in Rupert territory? ”

“90,000.”

Ninety thousand troops compared to one million troops, but it was a great army. Moreover, Duke Rupert does not wage war alone. We wage war together with the nobles of the fallen kingdom in the former Yosrahim Empire.

Approximately 300,000 to estimate the current troops based on their previous lives. Even if I take away my father's car, there will be an army like that.

‘300,000. If Grandpa Cloud doesn't come back, it'll be a fight. ’

700,000, except for a million to 300,000. If the power ratio was three-seven, the empire seemed favorable, but it was not.

Not only that, but there are those who are still neutral.

Apart from them, the number of rebels and Imperial forces at Duke Rufet would be almost the same, so civil wars were likely to flow in a fierce fashion. Of course, not in my past life.

‘What should I do? ’

At first glance, the best way to get rid of Duc Rupert was to eliminate him. Historically, Duke Rufett led the rebellion.

But there was one thing that bothered me. The autonomy of the history that Grolmog mentioned before.

‘What will happen will happen no matter what. ’

This means that even if Duke Rupheth dies, a replacement will appear and the civil war will surely take place.

And regardless of the midnight history, I was also considering a civil war. There must be a lot of dissatisfied local nobles here. Especially the nobles from the Kingdom who were destroyed by the Yosrahim Empire are grinding their teeth.

Just like the radical Independents who crashed cars in the territory.

If you really want to stop a civil war, you have to deal with it in order. The only way to break the midnight power of history is through the natural providence of all things.

‘Well, if you don't feel right, there's a way to solve it like a pussy. ’

And one of nature's providences was the strong zone. I mean, like drug-enforcement or survival.

I thought I could end a civil war with no more damage than I did in my previous life if I pressed down with the enormous force I had when the civil war broke out.

Of course, I wanted to avoid this method if it could be followed by great sacrifice, but it was so obvious that I needed to have it as an option.

Moreover, it could be a great relief to look forward to closing up this civil war in some other way. For example, civil war in the Yosrahim Empire will erupt around the time of destruction, as in former life. It's not a bad idea to just sit around and watch Duke Rufet, and then, when the civil war breaks out, take it out for sure.

I thought it was the way.

“You'd better leave it alone for now. ”

Erisa reacts to my soliloquy.

“Yes? Leave what alone? ”

“Ah, 90,000 troops. No matter how troubled the finances may be, it's Emperor Yosrahim's order. If the Grand Duke disbands the army on his own, there could be a big problem. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

I cast a jealous glance at Erisa, who was starting to eat again. If Duke Rufet starts a civil war, I'll have to kill her, too. She's a pretty blonde girl, but she can't help it.

The wages of rebellion are the death of the family.

At that time, a strange man approached me and handed me a note.

“I'm from the Information Guild. I found the noblewoman you were looking for. ”

Erisa lowers her knife and fork.

“Where is Izel now? ”

“A mythic inn on the outskirts of Divinum Castle. ”

I looked at the information guild member.

“What are you doing there? ”

“We're issuing two doors from the room. When I asked the innkeeper, she said she wouldn't come out for a few days. ”

“What's the status?”

“I checked on my way here, and I was there. ”

I took out the spatial pockets to pay the balance.

“Okay. Here's your reward. ”

The Information Guild Member, who received a large amount of money, warned you.

“But you'd better hurry. ”

“Why?”

“There are four places we put quests in our Information Guild to find that girl. Maybe sooner or later, they'll have more information. ”

I rolled my eyes.

Your place.

One will be the Nile, and two will be those who came to Divinum Sanctuary with Hubeo and Izel, but the other one is unclear.

“Can you tell me where it is? ”

“Our Information Guild is strictly confidential to its clients. It was not supposed to say that the quest came from four places. ”

“Well, the secret to our clients is a practice of this industry. ”

“Thank you for your understanding. ”

I got up and stabbed a few gold coins in the information guild member's pocket. He provided information in violation of some industry practices and paid for it.

“Erisa. I'll go first. Follow me. ”

“Yes.”

She hurriedly flew to the Mythical Inn, leaving me and Erisa. When you're uncomfortable, you'd better fix it quickly. I've seen countless people lose their lives ignoring this strange feeling in my past life.

Of course, so did I on my last day.

* * *

I landed in front of the inn on the route, and there was a commotion in the area. Humans can't fly. But I didn't think about other people's eyes. I immediately went inside the inn and grabbed the neck of the person who looked like an owner.

“This is a girl named Izel, right? ”

I answered the innkeeper.

“Yes? What is Izel? ”

“You know the noblewoman. Now that you've heard the information, don't even think about lying. ”

I took my hand to the pommel of Joseon's blade, and the innkeeper urgently pointed to the stairwell.

“If you're a noblewoman, you're on the second floor. As soon as we go up the stairs, this is the second room on the right. ”

“Got it.”

I put down the innkeeper and placed a few gold coins on the counter.

The innkeeper looks down at the gold coin with a greedy face.

“What is this money? ”

“It means a lot. Among them is the price of the skinny and your funeral expenses, just in case. ”

The innkeeper frowned as I opened my lifelong eyes.

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

“Good. Goodbye. ”

I headed straight for the second floor. Then I stood in front of the innkeeper's room and kicked down the door with a kick.

Ezekiel, who was grabbing a snack, was frightened to see me and stepped back.

“How can boats and backbones be here · · · · · · · · ·? ”

I glanced through the fruit bags lying around and turned my eyes to Ezekiel, who was terrified.

“Were you the type to eat when you were stressed? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Ezekiel stared at me without saying anything. I brought a chair from a nearby desk and sat on it. I was about to persuade Ezekiel to have a frank and honest conversation.

“Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm gonna cut to the chase with no time, so listen up. You are now with Hubeio. ”

“Yes?”

“Don't you know we're together? ”

“I know, but that's not what I said before. ”

“Things have changed. Now that I've changed my position, you need to change yours, too. ”

Ezekiel said with a tremble.

“What are you talking about? ”

“There was a mistake for a moment. It's not Erisa that Hubeo likes, it's you. ”

Ezekiel opens his eyes wide.

“Yes?”

“Have you been deaf all this time? We're running out of time. Why can't you understand what people are saying? Literally, you. ”

“Oh, yes · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“But things have changed, the process and the consequences have not changed. ”

“Yes?”

“If you refuse my request, you will die. Of course, your family will be doomed to destruction. ”

Ezekiel trembles with a frightened face.

“But you said before that I don't belong with Professor Hubeo, unlike Erisa. ”

I deflected her glabella and pulled out the urethra and aimed it at her neck. He's wasting his time. Soon, Hubeo and everyone looking for her will come to us, but if we keep going like this, I'm going to be in trouble.

“Why are there so many gossip? Looks like you haven't figured it out yet. Your life and the fate of your family depend on your answers to come. So, shut up and do exactly as I say. ”

“Who the hell are you! Stay away from Lady Ezekiel if you want to live. ”

Then a few knights appeared outside the door shouting at me. It happened so fast. I sent a young gaze towards those knights.

“Who are you people? ”

The knights saw the scene and put their hands on the sword.

“I'm here to pick up Lady Ezekiel. ”

“I know that. Who are you? ”

“Ralson, Knight of the Grand Duchess of Lupett. ”

I snorted. Apparently, the fourth client was Duke Rupert. He was one of the people who knew that Izel had disappeared.

“Oh, you did? Then go tell the Grand Duke. If I get involved in the backbone work, I won't look good. Of course, if you can handle it, you can start right here. ”

The Knights of the Grand Duchess of Lupett, who finally understood the meaning of the backdrop I was wearing, hurriedly bowed.

“I'm sorry. I didn't know you were white. ”

“I just need to find out. Well, I guess I'll be going, then. ”

“Yes.”

The knights left in a hurry. I looked back at Izel.

“Oh, and don't worry about Erisa. Now she's a pillow that doesn't suit Hubeio. ”

“Why?”

It is because if Duke Rufet raises a rebellion, Erisa will be the granddaughter of the rebellion. I couldn't hand him over to Hubeo. Why? I can't kill Hubeio's wife.

“You don't need to know. You just need to take a deeper look at what the Grand Duchess of Rupert did, and do exactly as I say. ”

Ezekiel glances outside where the knights have gone and swallows his thirsty saliva.

“W-what should I do? ”

“The day after tomorrow. Immediately after visiting the Sacred Hall, meet with Hubeio and confess. He's so indecisive, he can't easily confess. So you do it. ”

“Me? But how can I be a woman? ”

“But it's better than going through the apocalypse, right? Isn't that right?”

Ezekiel bows.

“Yes · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“And from a few days ago to today, I erase everything from memory. If you can't, tell me now. I'll do it for you. But it's going to hurt a lot. I don't really know how to do amnesia. I know what I have to lose, but I don't know how much I have to lose. Well, I'm good at this kind of thing because I usually kill and drink it.

You should try it because you're a person. ”

Ezekiel said in an urgent voice.

“No, I'll get over it. ”

“Very well, then, back to the hotel where your families are staying. If it leaks elsewhere, it will be understood as a rejection, and the end will begin. Maybe you can't see it with your eyes open. So take care of yourself. ”

“Yes.”

Ezekiel pops right out. It seemed quite urgent to leave all the loving sweets behind.

Ah, there was a convenient way, but I don't know why I was so worried. My brother Josef did. Violence is the ultimate means of solving all problems, and it's a perfect way of dealing with them.

Indeed, we must live as we used to live in order for things to be easier. Violence is my life.
