I continued speaking seriously, looking at Rihanna, who was expressing her disbelief with her expression.

    “But it’s not impossible.”

    “No… That’s not the issue. Ha, listen carefully. I’ll explain why I shouldn’t do it. ”

    Rihanna lifted her head and told me the reasons one by one.

    “Announcing it after the warrior appointment ceremony… That means we have to do everything within a week at the most. Realistically, it’s impossible to create perfect evidence to blame Archduchess Elysia in that short period of time. ”

    It is an undeniable fact.

    The moment Elicia blurts out that she’s in league with black magic, all sorts of investigations will begin, and it’ll all come out that this is a lie.

    “Besides, the North won’t stay still, right? Even if Dale became a warrior, it’s true that the North contributed greatly to making Dale a warrior… The repercussions will probably be so great that they won’t be able to handle it. ”

    That’s okay.

    Because it’s not me who’s being affected, it’s Dale.

    “And creating evidence won’t be that easy. Since the crack itself is an unknown field, in order to claim that it was created, you would need to discover a group of black magicians of at least a certain size. Discovering them is one thing, and subduing a group of that size is also extremely difficult. ”

    If there isn’t one, you can just make one, and since Lorraine is there to subdue them, it should be somewhat resolved.

    If things seem to be going well, you can ask your family for help.

    “Moreover, there is no reason for Archduchess Elysia to create a rift. First of all, there are rumors that Archduchess Elysia is after the position of the head of the family, and on top of that, she has been sacrificing for the North since she was young. It doesn’t make sense that she would create a rift and ruin the North. ”

    You can also spread the word that he did this because he was afraid that his seat would be taken away.

    As was the case in the North, people tended to believe what they wanted to believe rather than what was true.

    As I nodded with these thoughts in mind, Rihanna looked at me and sighed.

    “Are you really going to do this? The chances of success are extremely low?”

    After hearing that, I nodded as if it was obvious and continued talking.

    “But it’s fun.”

    “… … ”

    Rihanna looked at me with sunken eyes for a moment, then turned her gaze towards me and spoke to me.

    “… That’s true, right?”

    With that said, we decided to proceed with the project ‘Elicia colludes with the warlock and causes a rift’.

    ***

    Now that you have a goal, you need a detailed plan.

    Of course, as things progress, there are many moments when the plan becomes meaningless, and things often go in the exact opposite direction of the plan…

    Even so, a plan was absolutely necessary, as there were many cases where existing plans served as milestones.

    As I look at Rihanna with those thoughts in mind, Rihanna starts to worry and starts telling me various stories.

    “First of all, let’s all leave, and there are two things we need to decide first.”

    The first was to find or create a group of warlocks in the North that could be used for the plan.

    The second was about how to link Elysia and the black magician.

    “The first one is a bit vague, so I’ll skip it… The problem is the second one. How do you plan on linking Archduchess Elysia, who has absolutely no connection to black magic?”

    At that, I told a story I had seen somewhere.

    “Incitement can be done with one sentence, but to refute it, you need dozens of documents and evidence. But when you try to refute it, it doesn’t matter because the incitement has already occurred.”

    It is said that Goebbels said this, but in reality, it is a story that is simply a propaganda that Goebbels did not say.

    Rihanna nodded, seeming to like what he said.

    “… Good words.”

    I don’t know if it’s right to call that a good thing, but I nod my head, deciding to do it that way for now.

    I continued my thoughts again.

    ‘Anyway, what’s important is how much satisfactory doubt Elysia can instill in those who want to fall or those who want to be stimulated.’

    They don’t need the truth anyway.

    Because what was important to them was profit and interest.

    So, if you give them bait, they will take a bite, taste it, enjoy it, and eat away at Elysia’s image, so even if the truth comes out, there is a high probability that it will already be in a tattered state.

    ‘If that happens, Elysia will be far away from the battle for the throne.’

    We will continue to be trapped in the North without even being able to get revenge.

    So, I was troubled by the idea of creating something like a ‘big incident’ that would give people some evidence and confidence to spread their wings of imagination.

    I shared these thoughts with Rihanna and the plan began to take shape.

    Rihanna nodded, looking dumbfounded, but agreed with my plan.

    “Then I’ll go and find out if there’s a useful black magic organization in the north. Oh, and could you give me some tea? I want to bring it to the saintess too. ”

    “Me too.”

    I nodded to Lorraine, who was looking at me from the side, and tried to calm her down.

    *****

    A loneliness that grew up in loneliness.

    There is probably no sentence that can express Siren as well as this.

    This is because she grew up in loneliness for a long time and grew up feeding on the despair of others.

    That’s why loneliness and coldness were natural to Siren, and she thought it was a permanent curse that could never be shaken off, even in the distant future.

    After meeting Damien, my thoughts changed.

    The first person to reach out to you.

    The first person who made me feel warm and not lonely.

    and…

    ‘He was the one who made me feel lonely again by making excuses about being busy these days.’

    Siren pursed her lips and looked at Damian with a somewhat blunt expression.

    He must be so busy that he doesn’t even look back once.

    It was a little disappointing, so I wandered around for a bit, but he was still so absorbed in his work that he still didn’t look at me.

    “… … ”

    So I felt a little gloomy and approached my first friend, Lorraine, who was next to me.

    “Oh, sorry! I’m so busy today, I’ll play with you next time! Seriously! ”

    Lorraine also disappeared somewhere, as if she was busy with something, and I was left alone in the dorm.

    Because of that, I had no choice but to put my second friend (who is a bit on the bad side) Byeolbyeol in front of me.

    We had no choice but to spend our time practicing fist-pumping, throwing punches at each other mercilessly.

    “Miyam …

    In the past, I wouldn’t know, but these days, maybe because I eat well, my hands are faster than my stomach.

    I was able to easily win the game by hitting Byeokbyeok’s head.

    “I don’t know… !”

    After listening to the loser’s cries, I shrugged my shoulders in triumph and looked at Damian.

    Still, after confirming that Damian wasn’t even interested in her, she couldn’t help but frown again.

    ‘… … ‘

    It looks like it’ll continue to be like that today.

    I had no choice but to sit down on the sofa and read the novel Lorraine had lent me the other day, and as I opened the book, a love story between two people began to unfold.

    To be honest, I still have a hard time empathizing with the feeling of love, so it’s hard for me to express it.

    I squinted my eyes, thinking that the description in the book was similar to the feeling I got when I thought of Demian.

    ‘I don’t know.’

    I get up from the couch to study magic again, thinking that I’ll ask Lorraine when she gets back.

    I see a couple kissing outside the window.

    Since I had already seen this behavior in books, I understood that it was an act of sharing love.

    I couldn’t understand why they were trying to do that, let alone why they wanted to do it.

    As I was blankly staring at this, I suddenly remembered the time Rihanna kissed Damian.

    “Hmm.”

    When such memories come to mind, I turn around, thinking, “Something, something.”

    Damien is seen getting up from his seat and stretching as if he had finished what he was doing.

    Thinking that we could finally play together, I ran forward with Byeolbyeol (the fool).

    Suddenly, the thought crossed my mind, what would it feel like to kiss Damien?

    “… … ”

    The moment I had that thought… Damien’s red lips came into view.

    The moment I saw lips that seemed soft, smooth, and incredibly warm.

    … my face suddenly becomes hot and my mind becomes dizzy.

    ‘…?’

    I was panicking because I didn’t know why this was happening.

    Damian suddenly comes towards him and starts calling his name.

    “Siren, what’s wrong?”

    At that moment, the unique warm scent coming from Damian strongly stimulated my heart.

    I couldn’t hold out any longer and had no choice but to run away.

    *****

    I blinked blankly as I watched the siren suddenly run away.

    It’s embarrassing when he suddenly runs away like that when he was always so attached to me.

    After seeing this, I realized that I had been neglecting Siren too much recently and that she seemed to be running away, so I decided to pay more attention to her.

    Anyway, I decided to do that and was in the process of slowly wrapping up what I was doing.

    I saw Lorraine coming in with Rihanna.

    ‘It looks like the investigation is over.’

    Considering that they finished all the investigation in one day, it seems like they had already decided where to go.

    I told Rihanna and Lorraine, who were carrying the documents, to come quickly, and decided to leave right away for the place Rihanna had decided on.
