We washed the blood off by the stream while the Lizerka Knights cleaned up the area.

Iris, who had been sniping from afar, only had to brush off the dust on her clothes, but Laura and I, who fought at the forefront, had to wash for a long time because our bodies, armor, and clothes were stained with blood.

Since I couldn’t go into ice-cold water, I started a fire, boiled the water, and then mixed it with cold water.

So, although it took some time, it was a necessary measure because you couldn’t go into the city covered in blood and you couldn’t put the magic armor in your bag.

After washing off all the dirt, we went around the forest path to avoid the knights who were still staying at the scene of the incident and entered the city through the gate on the opposite side of the gate we came out of last night.

There were already rumors circulating in the city that the Darius mercenaries had been attacked by assailants and wiped out, and there was a strong conflict between the public opinion that it was good that they were gone in some way and the public opinion that it was still serious.

I didn’t really care what people thought, so I just ignored it.

In the first place, the mercenary group was wiped out for personal reasons, not for the people of Rizerka.

Instead of going back to the hotel right away, we decided to go to the special store first and use the warp function to return to Franca.

Although there is still work left to do in Rezerka, I decided that the first thing to do was to inform Veronica, who I trust more than anyone else except my loves, with the information I obtained today and discuss future response plans.

Of course Alicia would want to give me information first, but for me, Veronica takes priority over her.

‘I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. It’s true that she was kind to me and helped me, but she’s still a less trustworthy person than Veronica.’

While rationalizing in my mind, I activated the warp function and transported us to Franca.

I was cautious about everything in Rizerca, but I felt much more at ease when I returned to Franca.

However, since it is not yet possible for us to return to Franca, we need to move this time while keeping our identities hidden.

First, I checked the movements of the mercenaries who might still be left using the map window, and then, after confirming that it was safe, I left the special store accompanied by Laura and Iris.

And we headed straight to Veronica’s mansion.

Today is my sister’s day off, so she will be spending time at the mansion instead of going to work at the Knights headquarters.

On the way, we bought something to eat on the street to appease our hungry stomachs. At first, we thought it would be a simple way to satisfy our hunger, but we ended up stuffing it in our mouths until our stomachs were full.

Iris, who usually doesn’t overeat, ended up eating much more than usual, perhaps because she was relaxed.

“Rebecca, if we keep doing this, we’re going to gain weight.”

“Don’t worry. Laura won’t leave us alone.”

“Oh, that’s right. I’m sure he’s training and will harass us, right? Heehee.”

Iris smiled shyly with a mischievous smile.

Laura is definitely someone who doesn’t give us a chance to gain weight.

That’s because I didn’t say anything. Laura is the one who trains me and Iris’s physical strength whenever she has time, and also intervenes in our diet when necessary.

I’m really grateful that they take care of us, but sometimes I want to run away.

Still, compared to when I first felt like I always wanted to run away, I think I’ve grown quite a bit.

“Even so, we are developing a new training menu. It wouldn’t be much fun if I had to do things all the time, so I also participate.”

“Laura, doesn’t it mean that it will be more difficult for you to be together?”

“Originally, training is more effective when you gradually increase the difficulty level.”

“Oh, my God! Iris, we are done now.”

I hugged Iris and made a crying noise.

The thought that I might have to spend the whole day exercising like this gives me goosebumps.

“Rebecca, but it’s okay because I can do it. Even though it is difficult, should I say that it is not the end?”

“Well, since you also have good physical strength, I guess I’ll be the only one dying.”

“Sure. Hehehe.”

Iris, now is not the time to laugh.

I feel that although Iris is not as strong as Laura, she is a person with good physical strength and is well-trained.

So even when Laura says she will continue to increase the intensity of her training, she just laughs.

However, even though my physical strength has improved compared to before, I am only at the level of an ordinary person.

When I think about the future, it is important to continue to strengthen my body, but at the same time, I wonder if this is a new life where I can live the way I want to.

“Rebecca, don’t worry too much. I will always leave you with enough stamina for us to enjoy sex.”

“I’m not sure if it’s good news or bad news.”

“Are you tired of me already?”

“Oh, no, that’s not true. It’s because sex is just as hard as training. It’s not that I’m sick of you or anything.”

“Puhup! It’s a joke. There is no way Rebecca would get tired of me. And I’m not the type of person who gets bored easily. Suddenly, I remember the first time Rebecca saw me.”

Laura hugged me and leaned her face against my chest.

When I think back on that time, I was completely enamored with Laura and was very excited to buy her.

Out of shame and nastiness, I raised my hand to win Laura and imprinted my dark desires on her in the form of a slave imprint.

I still vividly remember Laura looking at me with contempt.

“Laura, what was it like back then? Was it similar to when you first saw me?”

“Um… Rebecca, can I be honest?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Yes, Rebecca. Iris, to tell you the truth, I thought you were a really pervert.”

“Pervert? Really?”

“Yes. For some reason, he suddenly became very obsessed with me, bought it, and carved a slave engraving on my lower abdomen, turning me into a sex slave. But contrary to what I thought, he was a really nice person and truly loved me.”

Laura kissed me lightly and smiled.

Yes, I bought Laura because I wanted to see this smile.

“Oh, of course it’s true that he’s a pervert. I didn’t know you’d ask for a piercing like that, like you did. Even though I am a very difficult person to accept such a request.”

“Laura, it would have been better if I had just praised her and finished it.”

“But you said it’s okay to be honest.”

“No, that’s the case. Still… that’s not it. It’s all because I’m a pervert.”

I had no choice but to acknowledge Laura’s words.

Obviously, I am the one who bought Laura from the beginning to fulfill my sexual fantasy, increased her lewdness, gave her piercings, and subjugated her forever.

After finishing the topic that we couldn’t talk about openly with others, we entered the mansion through the secret passage that Veronica had told us about.

That alone gave me confidence that I had almost infinite trust from my sister.

The secret passage leads to the mansion’s study, and Veronica happened to be reading a book alone in the study.

“Sister Veronica.”

“Who are you! Phew, it was you guys.”

“Sister, please return the gun to a different place.”

“Sorry, sorry. But how are you guys here now?”

Immediately left speechless by Veronica’s question, I tried to come up with an excuse, but my worries grew as I realized that it would not be a good idea to leave my hometown again.

Then Veronica looked at me and smiled and relieved me of my trouble.

“Okay. I won’t pry. Was there any result?”

“Yes. First, please look at these transaction documents.”

“Let’s see, this is proof that the interior minister and the general are innocent?”

“That’s right. It just happened that we made a deal with them at a similar time, but we didn’t insinuate the Darius mercenaries to attack us.”

“I’m glad that it matches what the Knights’ Intelligence Department investigated. Fighting legal battles with high-ranking officials is very tiring.”

“I’m glad that Franca will no longer be divided. And this is clear evidence of who was behind the attack on us.”

I openly showed Veronica the transaction certificate with Maxian’s stamp on it.

After reading it carefully, my sister clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

“I guess I still haven’t gotten rid of the disgusting habit of coveting other people’s women. Now the condition has gotten so bad that it cannot be reversed.”

“Sister, what does that mean?”

“I first met Maxian when I stopped by the Paraine family mansion to officially get married to Alon. And after that, he continued to be obsessed with me and insisted that I marry him instead of Alon.”

Veronica shook her head and made a disgusted expression.

My sister was practically the victim of a stalking crime.

“Maxian hasn’t been around since he was beaten to death by Alon, but he sometimes courted me in a shady way, and it got worse after he became a baron. I thought it was a trivial matter and just ignored it, but I never thought it would endanger my life…”

“Let’s just kill that trash bastard. I’ll take care of it without you having to get your hands dirty.”

“No! And if you get caught, you’re done.”

“Then what are you going to do? Anyway, this is the information I obtained after completely wiping out the mercenary headquarters. Even if my sister presents this as evidence, she will be at a disadvantage.”

“I thought you were infiltrating, but you used such extreme methods? How on earth are you going to handle it?”

“Alicia promised that she would turn a blind eye.”

“The dark-hearted sister-in-law has once again found an innocent person… Alicia just happened to be annoyed by the mercenary group, so she used you. If you fail, you can just pretend not to notice, and if you succeed, you can just end it as an unpleasant incident that occurred during the duel, so there is no need to bear any political burden.”

“I also took that into consideration when working. So don’t worry.”

Veronica listened to what I said and just stared at me without saying anything.

Fortunately, he didn’t look at me with disappointment, but his concern for me was almost burdensome.

“Rebecca, next time, think more carefully before proceeding with anything with a noble. I am also a noble, but the closer a noble is to power, the more dangerous it is.”

“Okay. I’ll be careful like my sister said.”

“Thank you for always listening to my nagging.”

“What can you do with that? And these are the real estate deeds that were in the safe along with Maxian’s transaction deed. One of these is a document from the house where Iris used to live, but I don’t know what the rest are.”

“Um… This is Maxian’s villa.”

“A villa?”

“Yes, it’s the villa where I was often invited but then turned away. I’m so sick of it that I’ve memorized the entire address.”

The more I know about this guy, Maxian, the worse I feel.

It wasn’t enough that I was obsessed with my cousin’s fiancé, and now he was trying to kill me, so I decided to free Veronica even if it meant killing him.

“The other addresses may be new to you, but they are all houses and lands with addresses in Rizerka, so you will be able to find them quickly if you do local research.”

“We’ll do that. But what are you going to do now?”

“I should discuss it with my husband first, and then share my opinion with Alicia when we arrive at Rizerka. Don’t worry, I plan to somehow hold Maxian responsible for this incident.”

Veronica thought about my question for a moment and then gave a general answer.

Normally I would have nodded, but now I feel skeptical about my sister’s remarks.

“Sister, legal methods may not work.”

“What does that mean?”

“Do you remember the larva I secured at the fortress last time?”

“Of course. I still don’t know exactly what it is.”

“We secured live larvae this time.”

I took out the glass tube with the mutant devil worm wriggling out of my bag and showed it to Veronica, whose eyes were wide in surprise.

It is a bag that cannot store living creatures, but since it is in a sealed container, it can be put in without any problems.

“Are you saying that Maxian belongs to the Masked Man?”

“Maybe so. Otherwise, they could have joined hands to achieve each other’s goals. Whatever it is, the law may not be able to properly punish Maxian or even catch him at all.”

“Maxian has no relationship, but the Darius Mercenaries and the Maskers may have a deep relationship with each other. It is difficult to make a hasty conclusion as the two requests may have coincidentally overlapped.”

“Sister, if the mercenary group received a separate request, there is no need to target that time to attack. From the mercenary standpoint, it is easier and safer to kill me when I go out to do a request, and kill my sister on her way home from work.”

“You mean it was definitely not a coincidence that we were attacked when we met in secret, just the two of us?”

“That’s right. We fought against Elkahim together, and from the Maskers’ perspective, we could effectively leave a warning by killing those who resisted together, and since Maxian’s goal was to kill my sister by any means, he would have fully delegated the method.”

“It’s still more speculation, but what you say makes sense. If I go to Rizerka, I will take Alicia with me and meet Maxian in person to negotiate.”

“Then, I will show Alicia the information we obtained and ask for her cooperation before she comes to Rezerka. I don’t know, but it’s clear that I care about my sister, so I won’t refuse help.”

“I hope so. Rebecca, don’t overexert yourself and never get involved in anything that seems dangerous. If you are perceived as a useful tool for those in power, your life becomes difficult.”

Veronica was worried about you even during this time.

Since my sister is a noble, she must have seen a lot of the bad behavior of nobles, and that is why she can give me sincere advice.

“I think so too. So I try not to be too active.”

“Good idea. Do you want to rest at our mansion today?”

“No, I have to go back to Rizerka and report this incident to Alicia.”

“I see. Anyway, I feel good seeing your face.”

“Me too. So, take care of yourself and take care of yourself while I’m gone. Got it?”

“Don’t worry about me, just take care of your safety first.”

After giving each other a big hug with Veronica, I went back through the secret passage and exited the mansion.
