Immediately after the commotion, the guards who were on standby took Randor away.

Deltan snapped his fingers.

Perfect!

Hwaaa

A golden curtain rose over the islands and then disappeared.

After confirming this, Deltan came down from the stage.

‘There is no time to rest.’

There was no need to visit Saint Hall for a weapons demonstration or something like that.

Nevertheless, there is one reason for such a gamble.

‘The temptation must have spread even at that moment.’

To give them plenty of food so they can move freely.

To increase the number of pieces needed for the devils to move.

For example, this was bait.

It’s bait to catch the devils who might be spying on you somewhere in the islands.

There will be several moves over there as well.

There will be things that confuse the inside, and there will be things that quietly sneak in and observe the movements… .

‘… There must be troops being siphoned out of the system.’

They follow them and find the demons’ stronghold.

Preparations are almost over.

“You came.”

Ishmark grinned.

“Then, can we now find the people who fell into temptation?”

“uh.”

“Good. Let’s try.”

While the conversation was going on.

-Ahhhh!!!

A scream came out from the square.

Deltan closed his eyes.

As the drone that had been taken out in advance was watching the square, I was able to immediately confirm the reason.

“There are people causing trouble. It’s an outcast. They are trying to disperse the people here during the chaos.”

“The Marquis de Montbert is waiting. Everyone in the square is being marked.”

“Tell them not to miss even a single thing. Oh, I’ve just been caught by security. Put them in jail.”

After speaking, Deltan grabbed Agnes’ wrist.

“Let’s go.”

“Where?”

“I’m going back to the mansion. There will be people coming that way.”

“Wouldn’t it be too late if I go now?”

“What do you think is the reason for keeping Kaltara at home?”

It was to guard against troops coming to attack the mansion.

Although Kaltara had no other magical identification skills, his intuition was so developed that he was able to identify temptations to some extent.

“If you understand, follow me.”

“Ah, yes. See you next time, Your Majesty.”

“Have a good time.”

Had there been a conversation between the two?

The tone of greeting was quite friendly.

‘… No, this isn’t important.’

Deltan sighed and left the square.

When I returned, there was Kaltara at the entrance to the count’s residence.

With the heads of two passed out men stuck to his waist.

“Boss! Are you here?”

“Are they the end?”

“There was more! But it quickly ran away. I didn’t go out to look for it because I got mixed in with the crowd.”

“Good job. Because protecting the base is the priority.”

not bad.

That means they caught at least two people.

‘There are more people who were tempted at that moment than you think.’

Should I say he is the highest ranking devil?

There was one annoying thing I needed to know.

“Hey, call your spirit.”

“Horn Lake.”

As Agnes chanted, a small snow storm broke out.

Immediately afterwards, a beauty made of snowballs appeared before Deltan’s eyes.

Their eyes briefly met, and Hornlake clicked his tongue and said, ‘Tsk.’

[Ahh, I lost my eyes… .]

grasp!

When Agnes punched Hornrake, he fell asleep.

[Okay… !]

‘Is this how you usually play?’

Deltan laughed and said to Hornrake.

“From now on, don’t stay away from him. No matter what happens.”

[Well, that means… !]

“Stay with me day and night.”

Agnes and Hornlake’s expressions were starkly different.

It could be said to be a contrast between day and night.

[No, just leave it to me!!!]

“Disgusting.”

Hornrake went wild and Agnes looked at her spirit with disdain.

Although it was unfortunate for Agnes, the opponent was too strong for her to just rely on her mental barrier.

As Saint Hall unfolded, there was little chance of new temptations being added, but her mental defense was truly miserable.

Deltan didn’t want to see Agnes running wild and possessed by the devil.

“It will take time to sort out the situation. In the meantime, wait at the mansion.”

Agnes sighed heavily.

*

Hornrake cursed his past self for being happy to be by Agnes’ side.

That’s because there’s something I haven’t thought of yet.

“Deltain, let go of your hair.”

“… Annoying.”

“You say that, but you do it all. Shy person.”

In front of her, her lovely owner was crying in the arms of a man who did not like her.

Horn Lake looked like he was about to cry tears of blood.

Even though there is no blood flowing through the body.

‘All of you! ‘He’s not that kind of person!!!’

Hornrake let out a silent roar.

The Agnes he knew was obviously an overbearing and emotionless person, and that was why she became a girl who fell in love for the first time only in front of him.

The Deltan’s hand touched Agnes’ hair.

Untie your hair and stroke it gently.

Why do I resent hair that changes shape depending on how I touch it?

‘That lewd and wicked bastard!!!’

A blizzard broke out due to Hornlake’s anger.

Agnes frowned and glared at Hornrake.

“Annoying. It’s in the corner. It’s cold.”

[Lord, master… .]

“It’s cold.”

I couldn’t continue talking about how the person who made a contract with the lake spirit felt cold.

It’s a look that thrills my whole body, but I felt like my heart would break if I looked at it any longer.

Misreading. Misreading.

Horn Lake was just eating the ice crystals that made up the claws in the corner.

“… It won’t fall now.”

“I don’t like it. Are you going to leave me alone with him?”

“Isn’t that your spirit?”

“I feel bad.”

[Coughing… !]

Hornrake spat out ice.

This is because there is something that hurts my heart more than her words.

It was the Deltan’s pitiful look.

[Me, me… !]

Don’t look at me like that!

I was so bitter and bitter that I felt like I was going to become a demon instead of a spirit.

Deltan looked away.

And then I started to open a book I didn’t know what it was.

Agnes was reading a book with him, her head resting on his chest.

“Are you looking for magic flowers?”

“I have to fix it.”

“But why a plant dictionary?”

“It’s definitely a plant. And this book doesn’t usually deal with plants either.”

The Deltan’s eyes momentarily turned to Horn Lake.

“If I knew anything, I wouldn’t go through this trouble.”

Hornlake suppressed the anger that was welling up in his eyes.

‘It’s not my fault that I don’t know!’

Now I know Horn Lake.

The magic blooming in Agnes’ heart is a poison that is eating away at her life.

Although it was because of the poison that he became her foot-wipe in the first place, he couldn’t help but feel pity for her.

‘Poor master… !’

Hurry up and get healthy so you can step on yourself more powerfully… .

‘… no.’

This is not it.

Hornlake shook his head to shake off his thoughts.

As time passed like that.

-Count, may I come in?

Did you say Gerhart?

The voice of an old human with an indescribably clouded soul rang out.

Deltan answered.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me.”

Gerhart and Hornrake’s eyes met as they entered.

He let out a ‘hmm’ sound, then passed Horn Lake and bowed to the Deltan.

“Reports are coming in from all over. There were quite a few nobles who suffered as well.”

“Who should I know?”

“Marquis Grobin suffered.”

“Was that guy in the square?”

“Yes, he is currently being detained at the mansion, but I don’t think it will last long. The imperial family asked for help.”

“Tell them to do it themselves. What’s next?”

“Next… .”

The conversation between the two continued.

Hornlake turned a deaf ear to his growing interest.

After the story was over, Deltan sighed and said.

“Good. There is no Duke of Levadein.”

Levadein.

Hornrake raised his head when he heard a word he knew.

‘Master’s father.’

Although he had only seen him for a day, Hornrake clearly remembered his appearance.

A man with blond hair and a dignified appearance that looks just like Agnes.

Naturally, my gaze turned to Agnes.

‘What kind of expression is this?’

The expression seemed expressionless, relieved, or angry.

Horn Lake wanted to read Agnes’ thoughts right away, but he held back because he knew that if he did so, she would never come looking for him.

After Gerhart finished speaking, she gently touched her lips with a cautious look on her face.

“… And I think the Count should come out.”

“Why?”

“Someone came to visit us. But… .”

Gerhart’s gaze turned to Agnes.

Deltan also made an ‘ah’ sound as if he had noticed something.

Hornrake narrowed his eyes.

‘What?’

What’s wrong with that?

The moment the thought occurred to her, Agnes woke up.

“Let’s go.”

That’s what I said to Gerhart and Deltan.

As the three people were about to leave, Horn Lake also floated up and followed them.

And then we met at the main gate of the mansion.

“Agnes!”

A woman with long, silver hair and indigo eyes.

Even though Hornrake had never met her, he knew who she was.

‘… ah! The princess!’

A woman aiming to become Agnes’ mother, whom I had only heard about through rumors.

The name was definitely Elina.

When she appeared, Hornlake’s eyes automatically turned to Agnes.

His expression was clearly stiff.

“… What brought you here?”

Agnes asked.

Then, Elina cried as if she was upset and walked up to Agnes and hugged her tightly.

“What is going on!”

A very sad cry.

At the words that followed, Hornlake felt as if the common sense that had been ingrained in him for a long time was collapsing.

“It’s natural for a mother to worry about her daughter!!!”

Mother, daughter.

It was a series of words that seemed absurd even to Hornlake, who was not very knowledgeable about human affairs.

I turned my head to see if I was mistaken, and Deltan’s expression also told me that Elina was strange.

Deltan sighed.

And he snapped his fingers.

Ugh-

Blue lenses blinked over his eyes.

“… This guy got hit too.”

After saying that, Deltan snapped his fingers again.

Perfect!

Mana moved and wrapped around Elina.

And Elina fell asleep quickly.

“I was tempted. that… .”

Deltan couldn’t speak easily and stuttered while glancing at Agnes.

“… It’s probably a greed type temptation. It’s the type that makes you reveal your inner desires.”

Hornrake sighed quietly.

‘Is it your inner desire to become your friend’s mother?’

Even if you’re crazy, you’re still a crazy bitch!

While Hornrake was looking at Elina with disdain at that thought, Deltan continued.

“… I’ll just lay it down inside and come back. I’ll contact Hwangseong and tell them to take him right away.”

Deltan disappeared at a fast pace.

Hornlake suddenly thought about Agnes, who was still looking at the floor with her mouth shut.

‘Isn’t this a chance to score points?’

Hornlake, smiling, asked Agnes in a whisper.

[Master, shall we handle it?]

If we express our anger together and sympathize with each other like this, I’m sure they will look at us kindly.

I’m sure they won’t really tell you to kill them… .

“Not yet.”

… only?

“For now, leave it alone.”

Allery.
