“Fuck! That’s why I told you not to leave it to that kid!”

-bang!

A man slamming a table with a nervous noise in a closed room without even a single window.

He was the one who looked the most angry of the three men sitting at the table, but the other two men were equally confused.

“Haa, Potts, that idiot. I should’ve figured it out when he said he’d keep it hidden until the festival was over.”

“… What can I do? It’s already in the past.”

“Fuck! Do you know how many of my A-class ghouls it took to kidnap that one worthless princess?! You were talking about going back and paying back tenfold if you just captured that princess, and then you just lost like a retard!!”

“… Okay, so shut up. You’re not the only one who’s upset right now.”

Men talking in the darkness where not even a ray of light can be seen.

Although there was no light at all, it was not difficult for them, with their sharp night vision, to see each other’s expressions.

“I left it to him, believing that he was best at drawing blood, but things got messed up. If I had known this would happen, I would have turned him into a ghoul earlier, even if it was a little awkward.”

“… If I had done that, Seraphine would have given up on Mezlen long ago. It was an inevitable choice. After all, our goal is not that worthless princess, but Seraphine.”

“Fuck! How is it that there isn’t a single family that holds a grudge against that woman! How much must she have been giving her on a regular basis… .”

“Heh heh, yeah. If a girl like that were to go around giving things away, there wouldn’t be any resentment.”

Three men in the dark having a conversation that would be enough to lead to their execution for insulting the royal family if it were to leak out.

The faces of those three men did not show any particular concern about such a thing. It was not that they were not afraid of the crime of insulting the royal family, but even without that, they were already the owners of bodies that could not live under the sun.

“That mouth… . Shut up, shut the… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Princess Seraphine is… . She is not that kind of person… .”

A woman’s struggling voice interrupts the conversation of three men.

The conversation stopped for a moment at the sound of a voice that seemed as if it would suffocate them at any moment, but soon the attention of the three people turned to the woman who had collapsed on the floor, tied up.

“What, you’re still alive?”

“Then fuck, let’s keep him alive! If he’s alive, we can use him as a ghoul later!”

“… I thought you were trying to soften the flesh by pounding it like you were making slime. I thought you didn’t like female ghouls in the first place because they weren’t very durable.”

“Fuck! That bitch slaughtered ten of my ghouls by herself, is that the time to be arguing?! That motherfucker won’t be satisfied until I work her until her limbs fall off! That bitch is mine, so don’t touch her!!”

“Do whatever you want. But you clean up after yourself. I’ve been vibrating in the room since a while ago, so maybe I’m already tired.”

“… … .”

A woman lying on the floor and three vampires mocking her.

It was clearly a mockery directed at her, but she chose to keep her mouth shut and not respond.

Anyway, while he was insulting himself, at least he wouldn’t be insulting Princess Seraphine… and Princess Mezlen, whom he served.

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to go back empty-handed like this?”

“Fuck! Of course not! Seraphine, that bitch’s blood is now or never!”

“… If you’re going to storm the church again and kidnap me, I’ll leave. Unlike you and Alondo, I don’t have a hobby of putting my head on the guillotine. ”

“What?! Then let’s go back like this?! Jeremy, you idiot!”

“… I didn’t say anything like that. I just don’t want to move unless there’s a realistic plan. At least I don’t want to die like that guy Potts. If you have a good plan to bring Seraphine back, you should try to set it up again, Alondo.”

“Fuck… .”

Alonso was unable to respond to the cold words of the man called Jeremy and let out a soft curse.

For someone who had fought with his emotions rather than his head his entire life, asking him to come up with a new strategy was too harsh a condition, and naturally, Alondo’s gaze could not help but turn to the other man sitting next to him.

“Hey, Miguel. What are you thinking?”

“You were just telling me the hardest that my plan was the problem, and now you’re telling me?”

“That, that was insulting that fucking Potts, not you! Yeah, your plan was perfect, but the problem is that idiot went somewhere weird to hide! ”

“There is a way. It may be a little harder than dragging Princess Mezlen and dragging Seraphine out, but it may be possible to drag the bitch out again after capturing her once.”

“… If that Mezlen bitch were me, she would be in church right now, how could she?”

“We don’t necessarily have to go into the church, we just have to make that little princess crawl out on her own.”

“… … What, you say… .”

The woman raises her head from the cold floor once again in response to the princess’s name.

It was enough of a stimulus to awaken Kate, Princess Mezlen’s personal maid, who had briefly lost consciousness due to fatigue and pain.

“What, what?! What is that?! What are you going to do?!”

“It won’t be difficult. Just use ‘that’.”

“… … Huh?”

“According to what I’ve personally found out, that woman named Kate has been Mezlen’s exclusive agent since she was quite young. If we approach her outside the church and threaten her, we should be able to drag her out.”

“… What, what is that!!”

“Ah, haha!! You really are smart about this stuff?!”

“… It’s useful to have something that hasn’t been made into a grill yet.”

“Oh, no! That’s not it… !!”

Kate, who resists the plan to use her to drag Princess Mezlen out, tries to somehow get up.

-Pfft!!

“Turn off, turn off… .”

◦Stay still until %◦ is done. But you still need to be breathing until the last time you use it.”

-dump.

It was five hours later that she was able to come to her senses again.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

Princess Mezlen somehow managed to overcome the critical situation thanks to Seraphine’s cool response, Serista’s recovery magic, and Harold’s blood transfusion that showed up at the right time.

Although it was fortunate that his life was saved, there were still concerns.

‘There were four vampires in the original Seraphine kidnapping incident, but only one, Potts, appeared in this Mezlen kidnapping incident.’

I clearly remember that there were three more in the original. To begin with, it doesn’t make sense for just one or two people to kidnap and imprison a person of the level of a princess.

I don’t remember their names very well, but I can probably remember their faces if I see them. However, even though I played “Luminor Academy” 25 times in my previous life, I couldn’t remember the names of all the male supporting villains.

Even if you remembered the name, it would have been difficult to search using the Whispering Leaf. The condition for using the Whispering Leaf is that in addition to knowing the name of the target, you must have seen the target at least once.

‘This is not the time to dawdle. I need to come to my senses quickly and finish this kidnapping event first.’

Since the raid had already been completed in a completely different way from the original, I wasn’t sure if the remaining three would show up, but I still had to at least prepare for them.

Even if it’s just to straighten out the story that’s already been twisted because of me.

‘First, we need to secure the doppelganger who is pretending to be Mezzlen and serving at the maid cafe. The problem is that we need Serista’s Mirror of Truth to reveal that he is a doppelganger. But if we simply confine him, he might later transform into something like a bug and escape… .’

“Release, take it.”

“… Thank you, Ethan.”

Ethan came back after leaving for a while, seeing me looking upset after my conversation with Harold.

As soon as he took the glass of cold water in his hand and drank it, Ethan carefully apologized to me.

“I’m sorry, Lilith. What my father said was, if possible, don’t worry about it.”

“You don’t have to apologize, Ethan. I did something that could easily be misunderstood by Professor Harold, and it’s not entirely wrong to say that Princess Mezlen was put in danger because of me. ”

“… What do you mean?”

“Didn’t Princess Mezlen originally say that she wouldn’t wear a maid outfit? If I hadn’t persuaded her to work at a maid cafe, this kidnapping incident wouldn’t have happened.”

“Why is that Release’s fault?! If we go by that, then the warrior who suggested opening a maid cafe is at fault, or our father who visited the shop when Princess Mezlen was there is more at fault.”

“… No, but it’s still my fault most of the time.”

Because in the original, there was no reason for people who weren’t in the hero’s party to go to the maid cafe, Princess Mezlen wouldn’t have interfered with the hero’s party’s events without her followers, and there was no future where she came to like Harold.

If you look at each incident individually, they may not seem like a big deal, but when they all came together, they led to the Mezlen kidnapping incident, and when you think about my involvement in all of them, it was definitely my fault.

“First, we will search for other people who contributed to kidnapping Princess Mezlen. If someone could kidnap the princess on the evening of the festival, they would not have acted alone.”

“… … .”

“First, report to Princess Seraphine about Princess Mezlen’s current condition, and search for the remaining remnants… .”

A situation where you have to take time out of your busy schedule to handle the situation.

Of course, I said those words thinking that Ethan would follow my words without any questions this time, but his actions in front of me were a completely unexpected reaction.

-Ugh.

“No, release.”

“Yes?”

“Sorry, I can’t send it to you right now.”
