    Episode 215 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 28 –

    “It’s amazing. To think this far.”

    The princess next to me spoke softly.

    From the princess’s perspective, it was possible.

    From her perspective, it was just me saying something, and then suddenly Tyrael got down on his knees.

    It was understandable to be embarrassed.

    “Now all you have to do is write it down. Due to the nature of security, it is difficult to find if you approach from the beginning. If you start looking from the end, you will quickly find the answer. Now we just have to investigate.”

    Alice can’t hear Tyrael’s story anyway.

    I was the one who became less.

    -What is in our family…

    Various shocking stories run through my head.

    Since it may have already disappeared, Tyrael told all the information he knew.

    It was a truly twisted motherly relationship.

    When her daughter suffered from abuse while she was alive. She could have stopped it.

    The duke is not an idiot and must have married a woman from a powerful family.

    Childcare tends to be considered a woman’s job in this day and age, so it would have been a little better if she had requested it.

    However, she is taking care of her daughter, whom she neglected in life, in death.

    Motherhood is there, but I think that if it gets twisted, it can end up like this.

    I continued to write down the story she was telling.

    “I think it’s almost done. It’s not there anymore, right?”

    -All I know is… I wrote it all down…

    “If it’s fake anyway, all you have to do is give the future to Ariana. It doesn’t really matter.”

    She flinched at those words.

    It didn’t seem like he was lying.

    This may be because it depicts the worst future Ariana could face.

    “Ah. right. And even if it’s true, if we can’t find it, Ariana will end up in the same future.”

    What followed were cruel words.

    Whether she told the truth or a lie.

    The results depend on what we find.

    Although it could be said to be harsh.

    Can not help it.

    “Even if God knows the truth. Because we are just humans.”

    Because it is a simple theory.

    We had no power to distinguish between truth and lies.

    Unless, as she said, a weakness is discovered.

    -ah…

    She watched us with a sad expression.

    A feeling of regret remained.

    Regret remained.

    But time was not on her side.

    now. It was time for her to leave.

    “Goodbye. Tyrael Crowfield. The sin you committed was quite serious. At least he wasn’t a villain from birth. I don’t know if the place you went to was heaven or hell. Good luck.”

    My words continue.

    The necromancy was lifted as is.

    A soul with regrets left on this earth.

    A soul who was unable to prevent its child from being destroyed.

    So I became distant from my child again.

    What was left in its place.

    Made for her.

    It was just a by-product of black magic.

    ===========

    Her body, which was nothing but bones, was buried back inside the cemetery.

    We looked outside.

    There were a lot of people outside.

    The surrounding guards soon noticed something strange.

    We cannot deceive our eyesight with our abilities.

    In the case of smells and noises, just stop them from escaping outside.

    If light is not allowed to escape, it remains black.

    And just the fact that it is not visible makes it a very suspicious trend.

    That’s why I didn’t even think about fooling my eyesight.

    The results have just emerged.

    “It’s an intruder!!!!!”

    With a security guard’s remarks, everyone’s attention focused on this place.

    The surrounding guards looked at us.

    It would have been best if we had taken a little more time.

    It seems that this level was too much.

    Of course it doesn’t matter.

    Now the sound is blocked. Because no one can guess why we came here.

    Although it’s not the best situation to get out of without getting caught.

    It wasn’t even the worst.

    “Are you ready? Princess?”

    “ was done.”

    A simple glance crossed.

    We just ran.

    Since there were only two knights who reached Auror Swell, the guards were swept away like leaves in a cold wind.

    shortly. We escaped the cemetery.

    Now where we were going was decided.

    “Let’s go. To the imperial family.”

    The place we are going to is the Imperial Palace, the Inspection Bureau.

    We will go there and overthrow a duke’s family.

    ==========

    Some time later, the Crowfield Mansion, not far from the cemetery.

    There, in a space that can now be called the second-in-command’s room.

    One woman heard an unbelievable story.

    “So… Who came in where?”

    “Alice Tantalotta, the second princess of the Helium Empire, and Abraxas Mentutihotep, the second son of Marquis Mentutihotep. I entered Crowfield Cemetery.”

    “That’s not the intention of my question!!!!!”

    Bang~

    Ariana slammed her hand hard on the desk.

    It was because I had no idea what he was thinking.

    “Why on earth were you there?”

    Ariana was no idiot.

    When it comes to Abraxas, it was bound to become very provocative.

    Her intelligence was clearly normal enough to become the head of an imperial duchy.

    So I was even more frustrated.

    Because I couldn’t figure out why I went there.

    “There is definitely something! Even by mobilizing the princess, there was something to be gained from it!!!!”

    It was obvious.

    If you want to investigate the tomb, you can just send a subordinate.

    However, the fact that the people in charge took political risks to come here.

    It means that there is something very important there.

    “What on earth is that…? what… ?”

    The problem is that I don’t know what it is.

    There can’t be anything important there.

    The proverb that it is dark under the lamp is also a proverb.

    There is only symbolism, but there is little that is actually important.

    There was no way there was anything there with lax security.

    Even if there was, it was a problem.

    Then how on earth did he find out something that even the next head of the family didn’t know about?

    Due to the characteristics of the Crowfield family, if something is hidden there, there is a high possibility that it will not be revealed to Seonghwangcheong.

    How on earth did Abraxas and Alice Tantalotta find it and how do they plan to use it?

    Such thoughts continued to haunt Ariana.

    “To Seonghwangcheong… Investigate… !”

    The best way was to request the Seonghwangcheong Office.

    Or make an official protest.

    A moderate way would be to protest formally.

    A drastic method would be to report it to the Seonghwangcheong Office and have it dealt with.

    But neither was easy.

    ‘The opponent… Shit… It’s the royal family… !’

    The royal family is dangerous.

    In the case of Ethan, the entire family is suspected.

    They say that it is being suspected regardless of the fact that the guilt-by-association system has been abolished.

    So accusing the royal family of heresy is crazy.

    Because the emperor may have to be suspected.

    Even the Holy Emperor’s Office cannot arbitrarily investigate the next emperor or his close associates.

    In the end, the reason Seonghwangcheong was able to be so clean was because the empire took care of the dirty work.

    ‘That’s why it’s a moderate method… ? ‘That’s even worse!’

    In the case of heresy, there are at least some things to consider.

    This is because the real royal family may be heretics.

    Things won’t progress as quickly as Abraxas, though.

    At least if the trial proceeds for reasonable reasons, the emperor will not say anything.

    However, it becomes a problem when questions are raised through legal channels.

    What on earth should we say about the princess trespassing into the cemetery?

    She and Abraxas simply escaped without even subduing the guards.

    On the surface, there was no damage suffered by the Crowfield Dukes.

    It is indeed an action that should be questioned in the first place.

    In fact, there will be a tarnishing of the image politically.

    If so, is it punishable or not?

    Since you can’t prove the damage, all you’ll do is tarnish your image and that’s the end.

    That’s what the royal family is like.

    Because punishment is difficult, members of the same royal family engage in political maneuvering to induce correct behavior.

    Such a place.

    ‘The princess… What on earth is good about such a scoundrel? It would be the natural duty of a subject to save the life of the royal family… !’

    That’s why she couldn’t understand.

    No matter how much you saved someone, you still love someone so low.

    I thought it was really strange.

    ‘… ‘Is it just a show?’

    Ariana Crowfield began considering all possibilities.

    Just to embarrass her.

    It was the most plausible hypothesis.

    There is nothing special about the tomb.

    Even though Ariana herself knows that fact, she continues to worry about it.

    ‘no. just in case. So you have to be prepared.’

    At least she resolved not to fall for such a treacherous trick.

    If Abraxas plays a trick.

    He will perform an even bigger trick.

    After thinking about it, Ariana concentrated on preparations.

    A few days after that.

    An incident occurred at the Duke of Crowfield.

    “Little Duke! The duke… ! The duke! He was detained with his cigar cut off by a holy sword!!!!!”

    The incident was becoming more and more urgent.
