Chapter 366

"Nathan is waiting outside. Why? Do you want to see Nathan's face?"

"No, I don't."

Yuder immediately shook his head. The faint smile on Kishiar's face deepened a bit. His gaze turned to Robel, who was sleeping soundly, oblivious to anyone's presence.

"Is that the person sleeping over there Robel, who sneaked in as a servant?"

"Yes."

"When we asked those who had lost their memories after the investigation was over, there was someone who knew him."

"Could that person be a woman named Marty?"

At Yuder's question, Kishiar nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

"I've also heard a bit more about that part here."

Yuder quickly finished his report, summarizing the fact that Robel had promised to cooperate for Marty, as well as the assumptions he had made based on the information he had heard from him.

"Contrary to his speculation, I think there might be another motive behind this murder. However... I still don't know exactly what it is."

"I can see that my assistant has been working non-stop even while he's here."

With a strange expression, Kishiar let out a short laugh and soon withdrew his gaze from Robel.

"From our investigation, we judged the murder to be a mere pretext for the real purpose. There was not even a minimum intention to hide the perpetrator. Then, should we assume that there is something they hoped for in the subsequent movements of those who discovered this case?”

That was true. Yuder nodded cautiously, and Kishiar began to summarize the current situation after the incident.

"We don't need to talk about our movements anymore, and Baron Willhem has now concentrated all his forces on the investigation of this matter. He has strengthened the protection around the mansion several times and has withdrawn the knights patrolling throughout Tainu, leaving only the minimum number."

"...It seems he started to be scared after feeling that those who he hasn't even managed to catch even the tail can boldly come up to his doorstep."

"Yes. Although he seems to be half-doubting so far, it's clear what he's thinking when you see the soldiers blocking between the annex and the main mansion since the murder occurred."

The turnaround in attitude, which was trying to frame Yuder as the culprit just a few hours ago, was surprisingly quick.

"It seems that he's been locked in his office since then, so he must be in contact with Duke Tain. He's late in realizing the seriousness of the situation."

Kishiar spoke with a cold smile.

"As a result, the security of Tainu is almost blank, except for a few places like the Security Management Team and the Willhem family mansion. Of course, I sent the Peletta Knights and the Cavalry to various places to wait, but... By now, Duke Tain should realize that it's time to give up his stubbornness. I think they will formally ask us for help tomorrow."

"Then I might be able to leave here sooner than expected."

Knight Commander Jeymer Phil might be quite disappointed, but in the end, he was in a position to follow Baron Willhem unconditionally. Yuder was quite looking forward to seeing his reaction when he suddenly received the news to release Yuder without a proper second investigation.

"...Did you want to leave?"

Kishiar asked with a curious look in his eyes.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Yuder's purpose in coming here was primarily to meet Robel, save him, and obtain information, and secondarily to ensure that Kishiar and the Cavalry were not held back because of him. Since everything had been achieved, there was no reason to stay any longer.

“Seeing from the outside, you’re sitting so comfortably that I was almost confused for a moment whether I sent my assistant to prison or to rest in his room. Thankfully, that is not the case.”

Yuder, who had thought that this place was no different from his own room, silently averted his gaze.

"Then, the likelihood that yesterday's incident was aimed at Graham Willhem to unravel the warehouse and fan the flames of chaos is high."

Without any further explanation, Kishiar quickly understood Yuder's intention. His words were exactly what Yuder was about to say.

"Robel said he has read almost all the papers taken from the secret vault. But considering there was no movement for a while afterward, I think the information obtained was either incomplete or something was blocked. So then..."

"First, create a noisy event to divert the enemy's attention, and then target the real goal... The tactics of someone who knows how to deal with the military. Attempting this despite knowing the huge difference in power must mean they were very confident."

"Or they might have committed it, considering all the possible damage as well."

"Right. Bold and ruthless. Very like them."

Kishiar uttered with a sharp smile, and Yuder agreed with his words.

'Yes, that's their way. Whether it's a dangerous strategy where their comrades take great risks or not, if they survive and succeed, they'll have achieved their goal.'

It wasn't merely a plan to trip up the Cavalry or create internal strife; they had thought of taking it a step further. As Kishiar said, it was indeed bold and risky. Yet surprisingly, up to now, coincidences had piled up, and they had achieved much more significant success than expected.

Baron Willhem quickly moved his knights and troops, thinking that they were targeting him. There were still some guarding Graham Willhem and the Red Deer Consortium warehouse, but the number must have been much less than before. Moreover, with Yuder's involvement, the attention of the Cavalry was now focused on the murder and security management team.

With one audacious murder, they diverted the enemy's attention, created chaos, made an opportunity to get what they wanted, and even tied up Yuder's feet. If they wanted to move, now was the perfect moment.

"We have no time. We must move immediately."

Kishiar turned the sapphire embedded in the bracelet-shaped magic tool he had on. It flashed once, and shortly after, Nathan Zuckerman appeared.

"Did you call me?"

Nathan Zuckerman looked at Yuder, who was inside the room, with a momentary, complex gaze.

"Nathan, have there been any changes in the situation?"

"None so far."

"Good. Contact those near the broken building of the Red Deer Consortium and Graham Willhem's house, and we'll move immediately. Time is of the essence."

"I will go ahead and send the message."

Nathan did not ask his lord why he gave such an order. Before rising from his seat, Kishiar looked briefly at Yuder's face beyond the bars.

"See you tomorrow."

"Take care."

The farewell was simply that. Kishiar and Nathan melted into the darkness and vanished as quietly as they had come. Yuder sat for a while as if he had dreamed the entire event, putting his hand into his pocket. The warmth emanating from the heating stone and the lingering cool scent in the air made him realize that it had all been real.

'...Then shall I make my move now?'
