Chapter 109

Episode 109

William said that what happens in the territory resembles the methods used by the empire’s nobles.

In order to acquire talent, the territory is completely destroyed.

At the same time, he spreads a note that seems to curse the talented person, causing the territory to abandon the talented person.

Since then, that method has often been used.

That also had its limits.

The opponent had to have weak territory and the evidence had to be thoroughly destroyed.

In order to do that, there are a lot of things to prepare and a lot of troublesome things to deal with, so it is a method that is not used these days.

‘That’s what I’m writing here right now.’

I was dumbfounded.

If you listen to William’s words, it’s not even a sight to behold.

No matter how royal they were, they ignored Millennium too much.

As soon as one piece of evidence is discovered here, our position in the kingdom would have been greatly reduced.

“Thoroughly investigate these guys. And if something like this happens inside the territory, there must be people sneaking inside as well. “Find them thoroughly.”

“All right.”

“Instead of investigating the entire royal family, start investigating the second prince.”

“You mean the second prince?”

“uh. It’s a bit suspicious there. Because there is nothing wrong with knowing it. “Research slowly when you have time.”

“yes. All right.”

“You can do it. You should be able to do it. “That’s why I brought you here.”

“Please leave it to me. “If you give me time, I will even get to know the emperor’s underwear.”

“It’s reliable. thanks for your effort.”

“Go in!”

William came to the entrance of the mansion and saw me off.

After leaving the slums, I didn’t go back straight away, but instead wandered around the streets of the city.

I looked around the city, looking at delicious-looking street food.

‘I don’t think this can be undone.’

As soon as you leave the center of the city, there are countless people who have suffered damage from the attackers.

From those who go to security to complain to those who are staring blankly into space in frustration.

“Send Princess Daria away!”

“If you don’t let Princess Daria go, we will die!”

There were about a dozen people gathered here and there shouting to send Princess Daria away.

As I was looking through them, it didn’t occur to me that things would end lightly.

At least the Count will not settle this matter lightly.

What is happening now is clearly an act that tarnishes the prestige of the name Millennium.

“What are you doing?”

I entered the count’s house and there were knights walking around quite noisily.

He wandered around the house as if he was looking for someone.

“what’s the matter?”

I grabbed one of them and started talking to him, but even he reacted strangely.

“Uh oh! found. “I found it!”

“what? where are you!”

“You found the master?”

They welcomed me with enthusiasm and shouted from all directions.

At the sound, knights from all over the world gathered together.

“Where have you been? “I’ve been looking for it for a while.”

“What?”

“The Count is looking for you.”

The commander of the knights came over and hurriedly guided me to where the count was.

Sweat was beading on the foreheads of the maids who seemed relieved to see me, as if they had been looking for me for a long time.

“What’s going on?”

As soon as I entered the office, I found the Count standing upright with the communication port in front of him.

He frowned at my appearance that had just now appeared.

Then he passed me by and said:

“The prince contacted me. “I’ll go out.”

He then tells me to find out why the crown prince has been contacting me.

I nodded that I understood and put my face into the communication port.

-is it. Yes, we were friends.

The crown prince, who was pleased by my lip service, could not hide his smile.

-Quite loudly. by the way. What do you mean there is a group threatening Daria?

The crown prince cleared his voice and changed the direction of the conversation.

“Didn’t you know? Princess Daria has been threatened for a long time. “There was an intruder in our territory recently.”

-There was an intruder in Millennium?

“yes.”

-Uhm.

The crown prince’s face became serious.

They know that the fact that there was an intruder in Millennium, which is considered as safe as the royal family, should never be taken lightly.

Millennium is connected to the Magic Tower.

That means there are hundreds of wizards who will come running if any problem arises.

And that’s not just wizards of the 2nd and 3rd circles, but high-level wizards of the 5th and 6th circles.

Having an intruder in such a place was a big problem.

Because it was like showing that the intruder was ignoring the central magic tower.

“Princess Daria is okay. “The intruder has been completely disposed of, and Princess Daria is currently under the protection of the Count himself.”

-Then you don’t have to worry too much.

In reality, I was in full charge of it, but within the count family, the entire count family was protected by him, so it wasn’t a lie.

-Still, this is a problem that cannot be ignored. We cannot remain silent when royal personnel are under threat. We will also thoroughly investigate this matter.

“I would be very grateful if you could.”

-I’ll contact you again later. If there are any findings, it would be a good idea to share them with each other.

“Of course. “I will do my best to live up to your expectations.”

-Please take good care of Daria.

“...yes?”

The contact was cut off before he could hear my answer.

What’s going on and then suddenly it’s like that?

‘It could have been because of my brother’s feelings.’

okay. It’s also strange that being the older brother, I don’t worry about my younger sibling.

....

It’s so weird. The crown prince himself was a self-centered person and had no way of worrying about others.

This is because when he cares about others, he benefits himself.

Maybe it was because I knew that, but the Crown Prince’s words kept bothering me.

While I was scratching my head nervously, the Count came inside, wondering how he knew that contact had been lost.

As soon as he came in, he sat down in front of me and asked about the crown prince.

If it bothers you so much, why don’t you just stay next to them when they’re on the phone and make them go out and come back in and bother you with explanations?

I shook my head and answered.

“What did we talk about?”

“It was no big deal. “He said he wouldn’t remain quiet about what happened in the count’s house this time.”

“The crown prince?”

“yes. And please take good care of Princess Daria.”

“Hmm...”

The Count looked at me with strange eyes.

He smiled slightly at my annoyed face.

“Stop leaving.”

Contrary to my expectations that he would continue talking, the Count dismissed me as if he had heard everything he had to say.

When I came out, I felt uncomfortable and scratched my head.

***

A week passes. The Countess became even more noisy.

Attacks on the count’s family became more severe day by day, and the residents of the territory lived in uncertainty every day.

“You caught the tail?”

“yes. “And Wang Geon too.”

William faithfully carried out my orders and as a result found out where they were.

“I endured it for a long time.”

I reported it to the Count right away.

By that time, the Count had also discovered their base.

“Raymond. “I will assign 50 magic soldiers to you, so you must make sure to root out the remnants of this incident.”

“yes.”

The Count, who had been holding back for so long, drew his sword.
