"I still can't believe it."

Raymond didn't even mention the suspect's name, but the Marquis of Pancair said flatly. He said he didn't want to hear more. Raymond opened his mouth pointing at the materials he had brought.

"My Marquis, I was very careful about telling you this, or not."

"Do you understand what you just said? Now... I'm asking if you realize how dangerous this is.”

Raymond's evidence and statistics, people's testimonies and suspects' montage were all directed at Prince Gwiz. Raymond, who already knew the answer, was close to creating the reverse evidence, but it was horrifically accurate to see the Marquis who did not know it.

But the latter nevertheless did not intend to accept it. Because he is also a member of the royal family.

"All the evidence is directed at the palace."

Raymond said, staring at the Marquis.

"Shouldn't we stop people from dying any more?"

"You must have about seven necks. I'll pretend I didn't hear it.”

"The Marquis."

As time accumulated with the Marquis, Raymond was able to know the cool part of the Marquis. It was a part that he didn't see well when he was young.

The Marquis hated Berdyk developing weapons or controlling disputes, but did not actively stop Prince Gwiz.

Not one or two people, but there are tens of thousands of places that Raymond has identified. The Marquis and Crown Prince Gwiz were seemingly quite close. There's no way you wouldn't have noticed his secret. But he never stopped Crown Prince Gwiz.

He was the last straw for the Marquis. He was a man who could throw himself away for political purposes. for his accession to the throne

Prince Louis would eventually die and the Marquis would be king. Raymond, who even saw his dirty side, was stigmatized instead of the Marquis. As people move to a wider stage, they are more free to write and throw away.

The Marquis rarely wanted to interfere in this matter. The Marquis advised Raymond by hand pushing away the data he put out.

"Take care. Sometimes you have to put up with it."

"People are still dying. Look at the time when the body was found, when it was almost kidnapped. People are getting nervous."

"There are still a lot more people dying on the border. I can't even tell it's gone from the capital. It's too early."

The Marquis' eyes were cold. Raymond was still a distant child to him. Then he appeared with dangerous evidence and the Marquis began to doubt Raymond.

In the past, he had more information than Raymond had, so he freely responded to Raymond's actions. But now, when Raymond realized he had more information in his hands, he immediately began to react sharply. The Marquis was displeased with Raymond's leadership conversation.

"The Marquis."

"Most of all, it's not your job. Why are people so interested in missing? I think most of them are prostitutes. Never mind.”

"Can Chang-gi die?”

Despite Raymond's provocative words, the latter only snorted.

"Wouldn't it be better than you dying? Don't be presumptuous."

"The Marquis."

The current Marquis seemed unwilling to accept Raymond's opinion.

Raymond racked up the information he had brought. It is impossible to recover Prince Gwiz now through the Marquis. He is too stubborn. If you don't drive to the end, you won't move. Raymond groaned.

What should I do?’

Even if he tried to prevent people from dying as much as he could now, the bodies were still flowing out. If Raymond blocks it, Crown Prince Gwiz somehow brings another scapegoat from somewhere else. The power of the powerful had that much power.

The number of people who disappeared was definitely lower than before, but it was only in the past that Raymond remembered. People were still disappearing little by little.

'What should I do...'

"I'll go first with this story."

"The Marquis."

Raymond thought of just killing them all. It is difficult for a person to live a good life. Even if you try to go the right way, it gets twisted. He knows a more comfortable way.

If he joins hands with Prince Gwiz instead of the Marquis, he will not touch Karen. Is it right to choose that method this time again?

"The Marquis."

He's gone.

Raymond swallowed the moan. What should I say to Karen? Is it right to neglect his murder?

Can't you make a better world?

I wish the world were more gentle with Karen. That's all.

***

"I hope Lord Raymond doesn't regret it."

Karen sighed and dragged Isella to bed on a soft sofa. Isela was barely awake after fainting with a foaming bite. Karen kept talking to herself, looking down at her. I remember my life before.

"What was the problem in this life? It's still too early to die."

“…….”

If it is comforting, we can look at it more leisurely than ever. Karen used a lantern to set fire to the fireplace and looked around the brightened room, laying Isela on the sofa and burying herself.

Karen slowly looked around the room full of Prince Gwiz's hobbies. It was bigger than I remembered. Karen counted the number of people, but she could see that it was definitely much lower than in the past. So, did Prince Gwiz kill so many people within a few months?

"And there haven't been many murders lately, have there? I guess his involvement came back this way."

What the world is. Karen kicked her tongue.

I thought about the difference between the past and the past. Surely there are fewer murders than in the past. Raymond must have intervened. Karen wanted to compliment him for keeping her request behind her back.

But I had to get out of here to compliment him. His face was drawn naturally when he thought it would be possible in his next life because it was very unlikely.

I'm sure he'll nag. You may not listen to her anymore.

Raymond continued to disapprove of Karen's behavior this time. Saying that I'm going to be friends with Isela or asking me to live a better life.

I hated the act of Karen trying. Raymond tried to fit Karen in as much as he could, but his real intentions were revealed by the act at first glance.

Raymond wanted to be alone in the mansion again with Karen. He didn't force her to do so because he loved her, but he was still hoping for it.

It's hard to persuade him that it's better to turn against everyone in the world. If Karen died this time, it was obvious what he would say in his next life. The new attempt won't do any good, so they'll ask us to lock ourselves back in the mansion. Karen couldn't stand her mouth sticking out.

"Sigh… what should I do?"

Karen looked around the room with Isella, who was asleep, but she was in trouble because she couldn't answer. I was frustrated that there was nothing I could do now. Karen was tempted to cry, thinking she should have taken a necklace for herself.

Should I kill myself?

There was no necklace or medicine, but there was no way at all. Karen glared at the burning fireplace. It's not a comfortable way to die, but it dies quickly. Even if it is painful, the moment will be short. Karen, however, did not readily put her head in the fireplace.

"…sigh."

I don't want to die.

But I can't think of any other good way.

Karen recalled life in the past, but only once came to Prince Gwiz's room.

Just as Isela was a good solution when she ran into the Duke of Rutella, can she do that again? Karen thought hard about it, but against Prince Gwiz, Isela was unlikely to be a good option.

No one is higher than Prince Gwiz on earth. The old king was about to die, and Berdick also had to lose before Prince Gwiz. The Duke and Crown Prince of Rutella are in completely different positions. If Isela finds out who Prince Gwiz is, neither will survive, but both will die.

Karen was able to buy time in the past because there were two more. Prince Gwiz hated his son, Prince Louis, so he could turn his attention and get a chance to take a weapon.

And there was Donna. Karen got a chance while Donna was biting his leg.

However, Isela is nothing but a burden, let alone a help.

Tadak, Tadak

Karen glared at the burning firewood. But there is an opportunity. an opportunity to die quickly

"Isela."

It was because of her that she didn't kill herself right now. I thought I was only a little closer now, but it was too bad that I had to change the relationship back to the beginning.

Most of all, I wondered what Isela was going to say to her.

***

Prince Gwiz slowly moved on. He was in a very bad mood now. Recently, his hobby has not worked out strangely well.

He liked to play with people. It was also spread in more direct areas. Even though he was about to become a king, he found that his hobby was rarely recognized.

So Crown Prince Gwiz had no choice but to release it quietly. That was enough. He enjoyed his hobby quietly for a long time. Quiet, slow, secret. There was no problem. He also had the ability to hide.

Recently, however, something has not been done properly. Due to repeated failures, Crown Prince Gwiz was driven mad by frustration. Prince Gwiz opened his mouth as he stared at Suha, who was about to fail.

"Why do you guys live?"

"I'm sorry, Your Grace....”

The trash that didn't help much caught his eye, but even that was annoying. Prince Gwiz wondered if it would be better to change his servants. Should we leave those who can't even get the right ingredients alone? You don't have to.

"Loot, I don't want to see you anymore.”

"I, Your Highness! Your Highness!"

"Close your mouth. I don't want to be noisy."

"Save me!"

Prince Gwiz said nothing more. As I continued to move, I heard a terminal gasping from behind. Kane, who was in charge after Ruth, would have cut his throat.

I was thinking of letting him down by dissolving it, but we should distinguish between work and hobby. Prince Gwiz took a step forward, soothing his disappointment.

What should we do? Touching the people in the palace has been avoided so far, but it has slowly been a limit. A maid might be able to settle it quietly. Anyone right now.

"Your Highness."

His thoughts were broken by a voice interfering with his thoughts.

"I feel very bad today. Kane, do you want to see me change people twice a day?"

"I want to show you something."

Gwiz said to him who dared to speak to him, but Kane kept talking to him. When Gwiz stopped walking, he bowed deeply.

"Root didn't do his job properly, but this time there was a situation."

"If someone else caught you, you'd have done it right."

"I've taken the ones who were caught."

"…I'm sure you told me to choose the ones who don't have any problems with kidnapping.”

Prince Gwiz looked down at him coldly. He was the one who ordered the murder of a man in the guise of an accident. But you're not killing them. You're kidnapping them? Crown Prince Gwiz was driven crazy by his servants' poor handling of the work.

As Gwiz raised his finger and tried to give a new order, Kane hurried on.

"Two girls. I'm sure you'll like it."
