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.
‘Behind the bars there are stairs leading down. The people below will be held captive, so please release them.’
Kirie, who was caught without any resistance, said this only after arriving at the central branch of the security forces. Other than that he didn’t say anything. So I became more curious about decals.
Of course, there was something else he was curious about.
‘What could have caused the prince’s servant to do something like this?’
With those thoughts in mind, Decal’s eyes looking at Kyrie were a little different from looking at the murderer who killed forty-seven people.
Of course, there was a reason why Kirie couldn’t treat him carelessly because he was said to be one of the three princes, but it was more because Dekal had come to see the devastation downstairs in the gambling house that Kirie had told him about.
Something a person shouldn’t do. That would be exactly right.
Therefore, Decal was now looking at Kirie and thinking of her as a child who killed animals, not a child who killed people.
“A total of 19 people were rescued. However, two more bodies were found there. All of them had serious wounds, but they were not injurious to death.”
One of the security guards approached Decal and said this.
“It’s a fighting gambling place, so did they get hurt while fighting?”
“I think so. There were a lot of broken bones and it didn’t look like he had received any treatment.”
Decal cursed for a moment.
Kirie did not show any reaction to the words she heard. I didn’t even think about whether I had gotten it sooner or if I had asked Calian for a favor.
It may be selfish, but Kirie didn’t go to save them either. It was simply because Kyrie, who had come to Calian out of necessity, took her revenge.
“By the way, Captain. Don’t you think it’s somehow related to the noble forces there?”
“I guess so. With a gambling house of that size, how could it not be connected to a noble family?”
Of course, it would be a high-ranking noble.
Therefore, as soon as Dekal heard that Kyrie revealed that he was Calian’s servant, he delivered the news to the royal palace.
“First of all, since I sent a message to the palace, let’s wait. If that boy is really a servant, someone from the palace will come.”
After saying that, Decal took a long breath.
This is because I had a strong feeling that this was not a case that should be investigated by the security forces.
And then I heard something that seemed to be an answer to that thought.
“Do not get involved in this matter any further. The rest will be confirmed by the royal family.”
Decal turned his head towards the sound and jumped up from his seat. The hair color starts from silver and darkens to red. I couldn’t help but recognize it.
“Are you Count Manasil?”
I thought people would come from the palace, but I thought it would be knights. But then Alan Manasil came.
Alan briefly nodded at Decal’s greeting and then looked at Kyrie. Alan asked, looking away from the blood that had covered the chair he was sitting on.
“Are there any injuries?”
“it’s okay.”
It was a short answer, and Alan snapped his fingers and washed the blood off Kirie’s body. Decal was surprised when he saw that the revealed face was younger than expected.
The age of the three princes who took the path of the Hagisa Sword is now only fifteen. If he were a close associate of the three princes, it would not be impossible for him to have that level of force at that age.
In any case, the royal family said they would investigate the case, which was welcome news for Decal. Because of this, Kyrie returned to Allen’s hands very quickly.
“If there is anything you need, please let us know. We will do our best to help.”
Alan exchanged a few words with Decal and signed the document saying he had taken over Kyrie. After that, Decal spoke in a very cautious voice.
“But, Count. It is difficult to give the evidence right away. It will first be checked by the security forces before being delivered to the royal family.”
“I know that much.”
Since the prince’s attendant was the prince’s person, he immediately handed it over, but the evidence was found by the security forces, so it could not be handed over right away.
Alan, who showed no other complaints, gave a light greeting and went outside with Kyrie.
* * *
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.
