The quiet cafe burned down without leaving even its frame.

The ashes were swirling, and the flames that had not yet been extinguished remained.

Stepping on the charred floor, Unknown approached. His appearance was as if he was trampling.

A colossal evil that will trample upon countless lives.

Louis and the Duke, who lead the Imperial Intelligence Agency, were momentarily overwhelmed by the tremendous aura emanating from the black armor.

Although it is completely covered, it contains endless pain.

‘Teaching dimensions…?’

Louis calmly looked back on the situation just a moment ago.

‘No… that can’t be. It’s impossible to attack by interfering with dimensions unless you’re a knight of Grandmaster rank.’

He analyzed the princess’s blow that had destroyed his secret energy. And then, he raised his sword again and slashed.

You will know for sure when you see it twice.

The princess also clenched her fist in the air.

Quasi-

The space was cut off.

However, it was not a realm that interfered with the dimensions.

With this, Lewis has definitely figured out what was behind his attack.

‘I’ve heard that it’s a knight school, but I haven’t seen any master-level talent. But space cutting… It’s an application that utilizes magic. You have great sense.’

Space.

A tragedy that only a very few knights can enjoy.

It doesn’t make sense for a royal family member who is a magician to handle it.

Louis saw the darkness remaining in the space where the black light had disappeared.

He has implemented his talent as a knight without even using the essence of the sword.

As if to prove that there is more than one path to the right answer, he creates miracles in an original way.

Even though the method may be nothing but a shortcut.

Louis, having reached a conclusion, kicked the seat and ran over.

‘Catch him here! We have to catch him before he becomes an unmanageable monster.’

The princess paused and clenched her fist again.

Space.

But Louis’ speed was faster than the moment when space was cut, as his clever movements prevented the princess from taking perfect aim.

“… … ”

Beatrice closed her eyes as she watched Louis approaching her with tremendous momentum. She tried to think of another way to stop him.

Theo… protect me.

Her brother’s fire that protected her from the Heresy Investigation Bureau.

Hwaruruk-

In this way, Beatrice’s will became a flame. It was of a completely different nature from the Hellfire that was created from mana.

The darkness that had been guarding her side instantly turned into flames.

“Fuck!”

Louis swung his sword desperately. He tried to cut down the flames. However, the fire from earlier was different. The flames made of magic tried to consume Louis’ mana.

An energy that seems to ignore compatibility.

This is the magic of the royal family… …

If so, use the holy relic.

In a split second, he grasped the situation and borrowed the power of the divine. Light emitted from the bracelet Louis was wearing.

Flash-

The light of the holy relic illuminates the entire area.

Beatrice reminisced about the moment when she lost Theo in the light of the Holy Relic.

Because it was exactly the same light as the knight from the Heresy Investigation Bureau.

It is unacceptable.

How dare you… create such a light.

You are wielding the same abominable light that killed my brother!

Even as the light purified the magic, Beatrice’s fighting spirit did not disappear. Rather, it burned even brighter.

She stretched her hands toward the sky.

All the moisture in the air condensed according to her will. It was transformed into one giant crystal, following the endless mana rather than the turbid magic.

The crystals took the shape of sharp stakes, reflecting light like giant meteors streaking across the sky.

It was sharp and solid, and its size was large enough to break down a castle wall.

The judgment of the bitter cold.

A meteor-like chunk of ice rained down on Louis.

“Shatter into pieces, all of you!”

Beatrice screamed, swinging her hand down towards Louis, the Duke, and the scorched earth.

bang-!

Louis was in a state of exaltation due to the power of the Holy Relic. He silently swung his sword towards the giant ice crystal approaching him.

With the light of divine power, Louis poured out a large amount of sword energy as if he was dancing a sword dance.

Once, twice, three times… …

Every time he swung his sword, a sword energy of the level of a siege weapon was created. The sword energy that spread out from the tip of the sword collided head-on with Beatrice’s ice crystals pouring down from the sky in an instant.

It was a moment when it seemed as if heaven and earth were colliding.

The ice and the black energy collided, sending out a huge shockwave. The force shook the ground, and the ice shards scattered in all directions, creating flashes of light.

The duke, who had shut his eyes tightly because of the dazzling light, barely managed to look around again. Before he knew it, Louis was standing next to the duke, blocking the ice shards.

“What about the princess?”

The steam and light cleared, and finally the armored princess could be seen standing in the distance.

There was no trace of a weak woman in the fearsome wizard. The duke could not believe that she was the noble lady he knew.

But then a crack appeared on the wizard’s helmet.

“!?”

The helmet cracked and part of it broke. The princess’s black hair flowed out through the crack.

And the princess staggered and knelt on one knee.

“Ha… Haa… No… Not yet… ”

She muttered and breathed heavily. Her whole body was numb. The aftereffects of exerting more strength than her limit engulfed her.

Sweat formed on her forehead under her helmet. She gritted her teeth to resist the exhaustion that was weighing on her.

Louis could immediately sense the princess’s condition. He could see with the power of the Holy Relic that the power around the princess was fading.

“It’s over.”

“You managed to win.”

“Was I not hot enough?”

Louis, who quickly regained his composure, smiled.

“I was a bit nervous. Anyway, I’m glad we won. Now, we’ll secure the princess’s new soldiers.”

As he said that, he looked around. People wearing intelligence service uniforms were approaching.

They were elite agents of the intelligence agency.

“Did you all miss the important scene? Mission complete. You have no more to do.”

Louis said, his sword slung over his shoulder.

“Don’t worry, Director Lee has taken care of everything.”

*

Beatrice glared at the crowd of intelligence agents milling around her.

She couldn’t move even a single step, but her eyes were still burning. That’s why even the so-called elite agents couldn’t approach her easily.

“Be careful.”

Louis went first.

He approached with his sword in hand, enchanted by the power of the holy relic. It seemed as if it was not yet time to let his guard down.

And finally, he stood before the princess, who was on one knee.

The princess weakly raised her head and looked at Louis. Her hair, which had come out through the cracks in her broken helmet, was soaked with sweat.

“Beatrice de Dahlia. No, Tricky Green. You are to be restrained.”

“… Huh. Arrest? For what crime?”

The princess asked with a hollow laugh.

I already know the charges the Duke has declared, but I don’t understand them.

“There are so many that it’s hard to list them all. Well, the sins of the royal family are at a level where you can just make them up and attach them to anything you want.”

“… … ”

As Louis scratched his head and spoke, the princess smiled bitterly. Of course, her expression was hidden by the helmet, so we could never see it.

“Okay, then. Let’s find out if you are Isabel’s daughter or the emperor’s daughter.”

And he reached out for the helmet. The turquoise light streaming through the slit in the helmet illuminated Lewis.

Louis looked into the princess’s eyes and became lost in thought.

The turquoise color seemed at first glance to resemble Isabelle’s beautiful eyes, but at second glance it seemed to resemble the Emperor’s terrible eyes, which was confusing.

At that moment, a lightning-like black energy separated Louis and the princess.

“!?”

Louis quickly moved away from the princess, putting some distance between himself and her. Then he looked at where the sword energy had come from.

There was a man with reddish brown hair there. He was from the infamous mercenary group Silver Terdenido.

“Open, Your Majesty. I have come to save you.”

The only difference between the mercenary group Louis knew was that this time they were all wearing royal attire.

“Alex… … ”

“The little one has gotten quite strong.”

In other words, it means a rebel group seeking to revive the imperial family.

Louis saw a man with auburn hair standing at the forefront among them. It was the knight he had seen at the palace the day he lost Isabelle.

He is now the captain of Silver Terdeni and has become a knight of the imperial family once again.

Alex laughed at Louis, as if he had seen him in the past.

“All hands, ready for battle.”

Louis ordered his agents. And he too, with a tired body, aimed his sword at the enemies, wondering if he was dealing with the princess.

With his sword pointed, he looked back and forth between Alex and the princess. Thanks to the power of the holy relic, Louis was able to see things he had not been able to see before.

A dark thread appears between the two enemies, the end of which points towards Alex’s heart.

“You… No way… … ”

Louis was shocked. He could see what he was seeing. He looked at the kneeling princess with shaking eyes.

Because the thread that the Holy Relic showed was the corruption of the royal family that he and the Duke had spent their entire lives trying to block.

“I ended up using it… The power of the source.”

“… … ”

“Hey, how could you do something like this!”

Louis, who had always been relaxed and observant, could not control his emotions.

“Senior Isabel’s daughter, her child, this is not right…!”

“What—“

His hands shook in shock, and he drew his sword and aimed it at the princess. Of course, since she was the emperor’s daughter, he thought she had the seeds of evil in her…

There’s a big difference between leaving it as a possibility and actually witnessing it.

“Huh? Can you see the oath I made?”

Alex interjected, approaching with a light step.

“Oath of Darkness… … ”

The duke, who had been listening quietly, muttered.

“That’s what you can see with the power of the Holy Relic! Yes, that’s why I can be loyal to Her Highness the Princess. And that’s why Her Highness can trust me.”

“… … ”

“So now I am her sword, her knight.”

A sly voice was heard. Alex chose only the words that could provoke the opponent.

It’s obvious what you’ll think of when you see the Oath of Darkness.

A look of contempt appeared in Louis’ eyes. He glared at the princess, then swung his sword at the approaching Alex.

visor-!

It is a sword filled with sorrow.

Because the driving force that helped me rise to the top was sadness and a sense of loss.

“Trixie Green, you are clearly the daughter of the Emperor. You are the daughter of a fucking piece of trash.”

“Let me correct your bad habits.”

Even while sword fighting with Alex, he did not let go of his contemptuous gaze directed at the princess.

I never thought I would see the Oath of Darkness again.

I never dreamed that the power that had trampled and trampled Isabel’s life would once again emerge into the world.

At least I had some hope that if she was the princess, if she was Isabelle’s daughter, she wouldn’t do something like that, at least for the sake of her mother.

Now hope is shattered, and all that remains is disappointment and anger.

But Lewis overlooks this.

The princess does not know, even at this moment, what their original sin is.

In fact, Beatrice had no idea.

The Oath of Darkness is the power of the royal family, and the spell that appears to be a contract between two parties is actually…

In fact, it is the worst kind of mind control magic that can go against the will of the opponent and turn them into a slave of the royal family.

Thus, the Dark Oath can create a vassal as it develops, and anyone who wants it can have it.

As the Emperor took Isabelle.
