“……Why?”

I was lost in thought, recalling the sight of Crete, who had gotten into a huge carriage at some point.

I couldn't understand it.

For what reason did Crete leave the House of Bares and travel all the way here?

There shouldn’t be any reason for Crete to do so…….

Wait,

‘Is it related to Rene?’

But Rene wasn't the type to tell Crete about what happened between us.

I shuddered at the worst-case scenario.

But, that didn't make sense either.

It was definitely at the Bares mansion that I removed the Gu Poison from my body.

You're saying he didn’t notice it then, but now he does?

That didn't make sense.

Then, there's another reason…….

‘What the hell is it?’

My bewilderment only grew.

That was how unreal the situation unfolding before my eyes was.

What are the chances that the head of the Bares would personally come to the Gluttony’s territory to bring his escort?

The probability was infinitely close to zero.

But it happened right before my eyes, so I couldn't help but be flustered.

‘Besides…….’

Sssk-.

I turned my head again and looked back.

……To think he possesses the skills to create such carnage.

I already knew that Crete was strong, but this scene allowed me to keenly feel the gap between my skills and those of the strongest in the Demon Realm.

‘……If the Headmaster and Crete were to fight, who would win?’

I fell into thought once again.

It was a thought that naturally came to mind as I was staring at the scene Crete had created.

It was actually quite important.

I didn't know which of them would become my enemy.

If things went wrong, wouldn't I have to side with the other?

It might sound like a bat-like idea, but there was no denying that this was the best option.

Hmm.

So who would win?

‘It's too close to call, maybe someone will win by a very narrow margin…….’

But I soon realized that it was pointless to worry about it.

The Headmaster and Crete are the strongest in the Demon Realm.

For example, like Baltan and Terias, they were either equal or one of them was a little stronger, but a very small mistake would determine victory or defeat.

……And now I have to talk to such a transcendent powerhouse in a carriage.

Damn it.

I cursed inwardly and dragged my feet.

“Why are you just standing there, do you want me to make the Lord wait?!”

“……Y-yes.”

The Bares’ escorts were rushing me.

So I moved my feet quickly and moved to the front of the carriage.

As I was about to enter the carriage, I swallowed nervously, just in case.

‘Maybe it would be better if it was just Crete…….’

If Rene was there too,

I would rather choose death.

Sssk-.

Filled with tension, I entered the carriage.

And I hurriedly looked around to see if Rene was there.

Fortunately, Rene was nowhere to be seen.

No, I shouldn’t call this fortunate.

Rene wasn’t there, but…….

“Sit down.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Crete spoke in a voice like a roar echoing through a cave.

There were only two of us in the carriage, Crete and me.

Crete was sitting arrogantly with his legs crossed, reading a book.

He kept his eyes fixed on the book even after I sat down.

I couldn't understand why.

Then why did he ask me to come here?

But I couldn't answer Crete.

An overwhelming difference in rank.

Therefore, I had no choice but to submit to Crete.

I kept my mouth shut and waited for Crete to speak.

How much time had passed?

Crete, who had been engrossed in reading the book for a long time, closed the cover.

“You’ve done a good job of making a mess of things.”

“……!”

Flinch-.

My body stiffened at Crete's words.

What did I do wrong?

Is he interrogating me now?

I broke out in a cold sweat and tried hard to figure out why Crete was saying such a thing.

But I couldn't put my finger on it.

……To be exact, there were too many things I had done to pinpoint one.

I poked my nose into everything as ‘Baares’ escort’.

From defying Ares to reprimanding Fron, the successor of Lust, to even fighting Samuel, the Lord of Gluttony.

Not only that, but from confronting Diana, the next Demon King, to…….

‘Damn it.’

The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I had done.

If it was just that, Crete might have overlooked it.

Crete is the Lord of Pride.

Therefore

It was clear that Crete, whose pride knew no bounds, wouldn't have reacted to this.

However,

‘I don't know what Rene said to Crete…….’

She had been reacting to me quite differently from when we were at Sytan and at the Bares mansion.

So, knowing Rene’s usual personality, I guessed she wouldn’t have said anything to Crete, but something unexpected might have happened.

That's why I was about to ask what I had done wrong.

“Adel.”

“Yes, Lord.”

I immediately raised my head as Crete called my name.

Sssk-.

He was flipping through the book again.

He stopped talking to me and started reading again.

I frowned and looked at what Crete was reading.

What Crete was reading.

It was…….

‘The art of war and a map?’

I couldn't figure out why Crete was reading that, so I narrowed my eyes.

What’s the reason for reading such a book?

Moreover, judging from the shape of the map, it wasn't of the Demon Realm but of the human world.

Hmm.

I didn't know what Crete was up to yet, so I decided not to make any pointless guesses.

And the moment I took my eyes off the book Crete was reading.

“Are you satisfied with your school life?”

Crete's indifferent voice.

For some reason, I didn't think he was going to get angry.

If he was going to be angry, he wouldn't have spoken in such a calm voice.

I nodded at Crete's question and answered in a bright voice.

“Yes, I'm satisfied. This is all thanks to you, Lord. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be enjoying such luxury……!”

I started to flatter Crete, even though I didn’t mean it.

I had no choice.

If I could survive by flattering him, wouldn't it be a completely profitable deal?

However,

“Is that so.”

Crete's nodding didn't look so good.

Like I had touched a sleeping lion's whisker, there was a hint of discomfort.

Gulp-.

I felt like I was going to wet myself.

As I expected,

“My daughter cried.”

“…….”

“I guess she didn't have a satisfying school life, unlike some people.”

“………….”

Thud-.

Crete closed the book.

Fwooosh-.

And black flames erupted over Crete's hand, burning the book to ashes.

My body stiffened like ice.

‘Crazy…….’

I couldn't adapt to this situation.

I could fully understand Crete's anger since Rene cried.

I even thought that maybe he had come all the way to Gluttony’s territory to find me because of this.

However, the fact that Rene cried was hard to accept.

Why.

Why was Rene suddenly in tears?

I couldn't figure it out.

And since Crete had come all the way here, it was clear that the reason was me.

What the hell did I do?

Thump-.

Soon, a powerful presence began to emanate from Crete.

“Gasp……!”

Choked by Crete's overwhelming pressure, I felt around my neck.

I couldn't breathe.

And that wasn't all.

The heavy pressure weighed down on my shoulders, and the murderous aura emanating from Crete stabbed at my lungs.

My breath quickened, and my heart raced.

My heart felt like it was about to explode.

If this continues, I really…….

But if I tried to push back his pressure by releasing my own killing intent, Crete might really kill me.

Ugh…….

My blood vessels felt like they were bursting, and my eyes started to turn red.

It felt like I had become a mouse in front of a beast.

I tried to endure Crete's pressure with my transcendent mental strength.

But it wasn't enough.

Just as the thread of my consciousness was about to be cut off.

Cooo…….

Crete withdrew the pressure he was emitting from his body.

‘I'm alive…….’

Only then was I able to catch my breath and take in as much oxygen as I could.

Crete, who was looking down at me with indifferent eyes, opened his mouth.

“However, considering the circumstances, I'll let it slide.”

“What does that…….”

“Get out of the carriage. I'll let you know what you need to do after we return to the mansion.”

Crete didn't even bother to look at me and spoke only with his mouth.

I wanted to be angry at his arrogant behavior, but my attention was focused elsewhere.

What is this daughter-obsessed man up to?

Crete pretended to be indifferent to his daughter, Rene, but I knew that he cared about his daughter more than anyone else.

That’s why he would have fed me Gu Poison and assigned me as Rene’s escort.

‘……But for now.’

Getting away from Crete is the priority.

So, I was rather grateful that Crete had dismissed me.

But I had to try not to show it.

Because Crete was the type to kill me on a whim.

“Then, I’ll be on my way.”

“…….”

Crete didn’t say anything to my farewell and just kept reading the new book he had taken out.

He hasn’t changed.

I clicked my tongue inwardly and got out of the carriage.

‘Fortunately, it looks like I don’t have to walk.’

And I was relieved to see the sight around me.

Crete had not only brought a small number of people but also several carriages.

……The difference was that the carriages were completely different from the ones we rode when we were sent to Sytan.

For some reason, the horses were wearing armor, and the carriages seemed to be made of sturdy material.

It was almost excessive.

Well, I wasn’t particularly curious.

Maybe their finances had improved again.

Thinking that, I was about to approach the escorts and ask which carriage to ride when

“Adel!”

Someone was running towards me, calling my name.

The moment I saw the man’s face.

I felt quite happy.

“You came too?”

“Shut up! Do you know how much I suffered because of you?!”

Grip-.

The man was crying and clinging to my clothes.

‘Kyle.’

I finally met him again.

“You damn Cerberus!”

Well, unlike me, he was cursing at me.
