================

As it became known that Maximilian, whose whereabouts had been unknown for a long time, had appeared in the Kingdom of Boemon, the public’s attention began to turn to the Hohenberg family.

It’s natural.

Because Maximilian was still the heir to the Hohenberg family.

Therefore, as soon as he finished his business on the powder keg peninsula, he returned to the Hohenberg family. It was possible that the Imperial family of Valtaria might dispatch an investigation team to the Marquis’ territory.

“Edanant!”

As expected, a guest from the Valtaria imperial family visited.

But it was not an investigation team.

The princess, as beautiful as dazzling platinum, showed off her majestic presence with her urgent voice. Then, a large number of servants from the Hohenberg family came out to greet the princess.

“… Her Majesty Elizabeth.”

“Did you hear the news? I heard Maximilian has appeared!”

It was indeed a narrow miss.

This is because Elisabetta arrived just two hours after returning to the Hohenberg family.

What would have happened if it was late?

The quick-witted Platinum Princess must have had some doubts.

My heart began to beat rapidly.

As I looked at Elisabetta, I swallowed dry saliva like a thief who was stopped by the police.

“I heard it this morning. My father was very surprised when he heard the news.”

“What about edanant? Edanant was also very surprised, wasn’t he?”

“No, of course… .”

“Ugh, what on earth is going on? They say the immortal fortress collapsed.”

Elisabetta must have been so shocked by the sudden news that she sighed deeply and shook her head.

Of course it is.

Because Maximilian was my former fiancé.

The relationship became nothing as the Baltaria imperial family officially announced the breakup of the engagement. However, because it is extremely difficult to cut off long-held feelings in an instant, he must have been worried about Maximilian.

“What if the Kingdom of Boemon demands compensation from the Hohenberg family? They say Maximilian has completely destroyed the kingdom’s capital! Don’t worry, I’ll ask my father and do something!”

“… … .”

It was a slightly unexpected reaction.

I thought you were going to show your regrets towards Maximilian… .

I didn’t show any regrets at all.

On the contrary, Elisabetta seemed genuinely worried about me.

He smiled slightly at the reaction of Elisabetta, who was worried while biting her nails. I felt better after being cared for by the beautiful platinum princess.

“Thank you for your concern. I had no idea that Her Majesty Elizabeth would be so worried about me.”

“Of course! Edanant was then… Because you saved me. So that’s it!”

He spoke in a mischievous voice as if he was pouring out his heart.

Then Elisabeta blushed bright red up to the nape of her neck and shouted in a hurry.

That’s a very cute reaction.

I burst out laughing at Elisabetta’s urgent appearance.

“Sorry. Her Majesty Elizabeth’s reaction is so cute that I can’t stop… .”

“Hmph! I was so worried about you, but how dare you make fun of the princess? Ugh!!”

If you had to find something in common between Ludmila and Elisabetta, it would be their ‘easy-to-make fun personalities’.

However, jokes that go too far are prohibited.

Another thing the beautiful princesses had in common was that their ‘boiling point was very low compared to ordinary people.’ This was especially true for Elisabeth, who plays the role of the villainess in the story.

“Keuhum!”

When I was playfully watching the cute appearance of the Platinum Princess,

Ludmilla approached while clearing her throat with strong dissatisfaction.

“Sister Mila!”

“It arrived pretty quickly. I thought I would arrive at the marquis’ territory tomorrow or two days later.”

“Well, that’s right!”

“… … .”

In response to Ludmilla’s answer, Elisabetta reacted awkwardly, stuttering. Ludmilla glared at me with her arms crossed.

It’s embarrassing.

If a third party saw me, they would think I was a libertine.

He shrugged his shoulders and pleaded not guilty.

Then Ludmilla’s eyes, which were full of disapproval, became sharper.

“But why is your sister in the Marquis’ territory? You left for Boemon Kingdom to check the whole story yourself.”

“… Hmm?”

“No matter how much I like edanant… Did you even lie to your father and meet him in secret?”

“No! That’s not it!”

Since he returned to the Marquis of Hohenberg immediately after joining Ludmilla in the Kingdom of Boemon, it was natural for Elisabeta to misunderstand him.

It was a pretty embarrassing misunderstanding.

For no other reason than to have it been misunderstood as a ‘meaningful secret affair’.

Ludmilla, who had suddenly become ‘the red dragon of the empire’ who lied to the emperor and left the imperial capital to have a secret affair with the man she loved in his territory’ from her younger sister, jumped up and protested fiercely.

However, if she revealed the hidden story in order to resolve a misunderstanding with her sister, the warmonger’s identity could be discovered, so Ludmilla swallowed her silence and could not speak in the end.

“It’s very surprising. Until now, I thought of my sister as a clumsy concubine, but in fact, she was bold enough to quietly have a secret affair with Edanant… . I saw it again.”

“Ugh!”

Elizabeth expressed pure admiration.

Then Ludmilla lowered her head with a face as hot as a teapot.

* * *

Could it be because of Maximilian, who caused an uprising in the Kingdom of Boemon?

Or is it to punish the man who stole the daughters he raised like a golden jade leaf?

A summons was issued from the Imperial Court of Valtaria.

To be exact, it was sung by Barbarossa, the emperor of the Valtaria Empire.

I hesitated, breaking into a cold sweat at the sudden call from the emperor. However, since she could not follow in the footsteps of Maximilian, who announced the breakup of the engagement and suddenly disappeared, she eventually accepted the call.

“Prince Edanand. Have you heard the news that a saint’s party caused an incident in Boemon Kingdom?”

“… Of course.”

A middle-aged man with a mustache as sharp as a scythe asked.

He opened his mouth to express his disapproval.

“It is said that swordsmen and warriors, as well as warmongers who were treated as ghosts of the past, have appeared. In Genji, where serious events occur one after another, what happens to the world? .”

“… … .”

My heart began to pound as I saw Barbarossa clicking his tongue and expressing his dissatisfaction. Like a delinquent student who was suddenly summoned by the student dean, my anxiety rose as the conversation continued.

What on earth?

Do you really know the identity of the warmonger?

Could it be that they are putting on an ‘Edanant Show’ even though they already know his identity?

While listening to Barbarossa’s voice, I continued to have petty delusions. This was because the behavior of the emperor, who had called Ludmila and the Marquis of Hohenberg upon their return, was suspicious.

“The Empire’s intelligence department is keeping track of the progress, but there are many difficulties. For some reason, whenever I ask the king and knights of Boemon Kingdom about the progress, they remain silent.”

“… Because the Kingdom of Boemon regards the Saint Party as their savior.”

What is the reason why Geomseong was reduced to a king assassin?

How did the hero appear?

And why did he fight to the death with a former comrade in arms, a warmonger?

Currently, Barbarossa was struggling with a series of questions. It felt like Gilgil was going to run wild and scream at any moment, so I swallowed my dry saliva.

“Of course it’s a rumor, but… The intelligence guys came with strange news.”

“Strange news, you mean?”

“I was saying that the warmonger might be a cult member who worships the disaster god. Of course, it’s absurd nonsense.”

“… … .”

It was natural that he would be discovered since he overused the Disaster God’s name while fighting Maximilian.

It was what I expected.

But embarrassment could not be avoided.

How much did you find out?

With a feeling of anxiety, I carefully observed Barbarossa’s face.

“I heard it from Lisa… I heard you are continuing your relationship with Mila?”

“Yes? Oh no… yes. Yes, that’s right… .”

This is completely fake news.

It is a plot by a villainess to somehow marry off her old maid sister.

I tried so hard to refute it, but I couldn’t open my mouth as Barbarossa looked so full of anticipation.

“Hmm. That’s right.”

“… … .”

They must have called me to respond to the incident caused by the saint’s party.

I was hit.

It was bait to call me out.

I could feel the intense desire on Barbarossa’s face. The intention was clear to make me the son-in-law of the Valtaria imperial family in an instant, like roasting beans in a flash of lightning.

“Let’s go hunting sometime. Didn’t you say you wanted to see the sharpshooter’s skills?”

“… W, it’s an honor.”

Tuk-tuk.

The emperor patted his shoulder and said:

He lowered his voice and nodded.

“I want to go hunting right now, but it won’t be easy given the turbulent current situation. Petitions are pouring in from all directions, with people from Seonghwangguk saying they will reveal the identity of the warmonger.”

“Yes? What is that… .”

“The famously persistent dogs of the Holy Empire will approach you too. Aren’t you the hero’s younger brother? Maybe I’ll ask for your cooperation to find the warmonger together.”

“… … .”

I would like to sincerely reject the Heresy Questioners of the Holy Emperor Kingdom, who are famous for their fanaticism.

You want me to find a warmonger? Do you mean look in the mirror?

I have to find myself.

I never thought something ironic like this would happen in my life.

It’s not like a whirlwind of self-discovery during puberty.
