Was it not completely useless to bring up Raina’s name before anything else?

The mood of these people, who were holding onto their guns with tense faces, as if they were going to start shooting as soon as a plausible opportunity occurred, gradually relaxed as time went by.

And after getting out of the swamp called tension, did it even occur to me that I should tell the people above me this news?

The atmosphere of them looking at each other with repeated glances continued for a while, but in the end, the person who was presumed to have been pushed out in the first place soon started running somewhere.

Anyway, I was busy looking at the body of the guy who fell from the roof.

‘weird···?’

In the case of the large monster that I had killed before, and whose name like a tank seemed to suit it very well, it had yellow rocks stuck in conspicuous places, but in the case of this monster that I had killed just now, even if I looked around, I couldn’t see anything like that.

The same thing happened when I turned the half-split body upside down, wondering if it was stuck in the front instead of the back.

Could it be that it’s inside the body?

It was a sudden thought, but there was ample possibility.

That’s because, unlike the big monster that was thick and bulky, this guy’s body structure itself was elongated and thin.

However, if there is something like a rock stuck somewhere, wouldn’t this cause various difficulties when moving?

Taking that into account, the possibilities are not just sufficient, but overflowing…

‘Mr. Ha…’

If I had known something like this would happen, I would have brought one of my followers with me.

If that were the case, I would have just asked the guy who came with me to do it without having to get my hands dirty… but since I’m the only one here right now, what can I do?

To be honest, it feels a bit uncomfortable to have to rummage through the body of something that has already been destroyed, but I have no choice but to do it.

However, I didn’t have the courage to do it with my bare hands, so I quickly started searching the body using my sword like a stick.

Thump, thud…

Could it be that he was reacting to my actions?

As time passed, the atmosphere that had become loose began to tighten again.

I could feel everyone starting to get nervous… but I had no intention of stopping the search.

If you haven’t even started at all, you might not know. Once you start, you have to see the end, whether it’s porridge or rice.

However, if I waited too long, there was a high possibility that the other side would show unexpected behavior, so I tried to stab the corpses lying on the floor a little more quickly.

Tick!

A strange texture was detected near the heart of the corpse.

I used my tiptoe and my sword to open the thing that was split in half as much as possible…

‘I guess that’s right?’

What caught my eye was the shape of a heart with a yellow stone embedded in it.

I couldn’t believe it at first.

It was not because there was any other reason, but because the words of the person who rushed to where she and the family’s officials were to deliver the news were very rambling.

And wouldn’t it have been much different for other people?

They all decided to come forward and represent those who only had vague expressions on their faces as if they were saying, ‘What on earth did I just hear…?’

“So, who did what and how?”

“Well, that is… A man who identified himself as someone sent by Lady Raina to support the main family suddenly came out of nowhere and cut off the ‘stalker’s’ head with a single sword. But then… he said he wanted to meet the matriarch…”

No, what is that…

It’s not a gag cartoon with the concept of a ninja suddenly appearing when the atmosphere gets strange and wiping out everything around him, but he suddenly appears and blows off the head of that cunning and vicious thing with a single blow…?

For reference, Stalker was a name given to the bastard within the family.

At first, I considered calling him a jumper because of his incredible jumping ability, but the name stalker suited him much better.

That’s because he was a stalker in and of himself, as he chased down any survivors he caught his eye to the end and somehow put an end to them.

Anyway, putting that aside because it’s not that important… he found me as soon as he showed up…

The moment I repeated that to myself, all kinds of variables came and went in my mind, but I decided to accept the man’s invitation for now.

Considering that the first thing he did when he showed up was to mention Reina’s name, he definitely seems to be in some kind of relationship with the daughter, so there’s a high possibility that he’s on their side.

Maybe it’s really like a secret bodyguard that the security team attached to my daughter’s side in case of an unexpected situation.

Even if that wasn’t the case, we still had to get them on our side somehow.

Being able to kill that damn bastard with a single sword means that everything mentioned in my daughter’s telegram is true, but if someone with that much power joins the vassals, the family will be turned upside down.

As the head of the family, I couldn’t allow that to happen.

So, while pledging to do whatever it takes to lure them to their side, I escaped from the place I had used as a temporary shelter.

As soon as she did that, she felt the people she had evacuated with slowly following behind her.

Since all the dangerous things have been taken care of, there is no problem at all if I go alone, but I couldn’t help but smile bitterly at their behavior of following behind as if they were waiting.

The problem was that we couldn’t forcefully remove those who were now behind us.

So I pretended not to care at all and headed to the scene where the battle between the stalker and the bodyguards took place… What I finally encountered was a man with a rather fierce look.

“Ah, you came.”

And the man she encountered… surprisingly, was someone she knew.

Of course, there was no such thing as a separate meeting, but all I saw was a photo.

A child who posted a report saying that he was a student who the faculty and staff working at the academy, which can be said to be the family’s core business, needed to keep a close eye on.

Thanks to that, the child who remained in her memory was looking at her at this moment with the stalker’s body cut in half at his feet.

That was why even she, who was never embarrassed by most things, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed inside.

Since the telegram that Raina delivered did not contain any trivial information such as age, I imagined someone a little older.

Rather than that, she is younger than my daughter…

Of course, the performance she showed from her first appearance was too overwhelming to ignore the other person just because of her age… but it was something she couldn’t help but keep having question marks in her head.

“···Did you say that Raina sent you?”

“Yes, that’s right. They told me to go and help because it’s safe enough here now.”

“How can you believe that?”

“I knew you would say that…”

“···?”

“I have prepared a letter for you here.”

At the same time, if you see him handing out a letter, does that mean you should check it for yourself?

Since the other person had a weapon in his hand, I was a bit reluctant to approach him, but I pretended not to care and walked in front of the man with a calm expression.

Then, I received the letter the man handed me and checked it…

“It’s true that it was Rayna who sent it.”

The doubts that remained like residue were completely swept away.

That had to be the case because the letter contained intimate details that could not be known to anyone other than the heir of the family.

Also, the handwriting was that of Rayna.

Now that the other party’s identity has been confirmed, all we have to do is bring them to our side.

Nevertheless, the reason I couldn’t make such an attempt was because the eyes watching from behind were so vivid.

So, for now, what should I do from now on?

In this situation, even if you tried to recruit the man, there was a very high possibility that interference would come from all directions and it would be worse than not doing anything.

“First of all… You must have been quite tired coming all the way here, so let’s get some rest first and then we’ll talk more about it later.”

“It doesn’t really matter to me, but…”

“Then, I will guide you straight to the room…”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

“···?”

I can’t believe I’m shouting just for a moment at this timing.

What is the reason?

Why is he making such a shy expression?

” Actually… I left something outside… Can I come by for a moment? ”

“···Oh, that’s right.”

“It’s late…”

I said I would come pick you up right away…

Am I going to end up like this?

“Suddenly…”
