“Why on earth is your family history like that?”

    Isabel’s bruises are just hilarious.

    I tried to cover it up, but it seemed like I couldn’t hide the loud noise coming from the ceiling.

    “Are you even bringing up your family history because this is such a big deal?”

    The truly ruined family is yours.

    I picked up a cookie.

    “So, what do we do now?”

    “I’m going to see Revenge with Reck Carter.”

    “When are you coming back?”

    “I don’t know either.”

    “···Are you telling me to stay alone in the same place as you?”

    “Be patient.”

    The news also reached Lexi.

    Up until now, he was someone who valued Alex more than me, so we probably still have a connection.

    “We will return as soon as possible.”

    Lexi would probably have finished preparing by now.

    It’s coming soon.

    Isabel looks out the window while drinking milk tea───

    “Haa… How can I be with you… Wow!!!”

    “Kyaaa?!”

    I quickly caught Isabel, who was scared and was about to run away.

    Anne opened her eyes and looked at Isabelle.

    Naturally, my eyes turn to Isabel.

    Isabel was just looking out the window with her eyes wide open.

    As if someone had seen a ghost.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    Isabelle looks up at me with intense fear, like a child watching a horror movie for the first time.

    “Whoa, my eyeballs are floating!”

    eye?

    “Car, there are lots of eyeballs outside the window…!”

    ─Widow Grand Duke.

    ‘Were you spying on me?’

    The power outside the window was erased.

    “Um, what on earth is that?!! uh?! It’s gone!”

    “···The Grand Duke Widow is spying on us. I removed it.”

    “What about you, Grand Duke?! Why?!”

    The Widow Grand Duke and Alex are spherical to each other.

    There is a possibility that that person also knows Alex’s whereabouts.

    ‘He’s angry at me as the head, and there’s no way he’ll let Alex live.’

    It’s a bad relationship, but it’s my father’s blood relationship.

    “I will let you know about that tomorrow when Edward is there.”

    I was planning on handling it quietly, but not anymore.

    There was a need to strike quickly.

    Anne looks up at me.

    “···It’s not dangerous, right?”

    I gently stroked Anne’s chin.

    “It’s not that big of a deal, so don’t worry.”

    * * * * * *

    “You said it’s not a big deal?!”

    After breaking Edward’s brainwashing, Isabel reacted violently.

    This was because everyone in the castle had been brainwashed by the Grand Duke Widow.

    The only ones who were okay were me, Anne, and Isabel.

    ‘It looks like you’re really pissed.’

    Edward came to his senses and was holding his temple.

    I think I was shocked, but only to that extent.

    “Saint.”

    “Yes.”

    “Which will you choose between your ambition and the safety of your blood relatives?”

    “I never give up on anything.”

    Edward shakes his head and laughs.

    “I can’t believe a sound like that comes out in this situation.”

    I think you think I’m a dreamer.

    “Yes. I would rather die than compromise.”

    I’m just a person who has lost everything.

    How to kill the widow archduke.

    You have to think about that.

    This is a woman whom Dantalian, the embodiment of humanity, personally possessed and had a child with.

    If you kill them, you will definitely be at a disadvantage.

    “Isabel.”

    “Yes.”

    “If you look into the eyes of the Grand Duke of Widow or see a purple string hanging from a person, cut them all off.”

    “Purple line?”

    “The person caught by that is brainwashed. If you have no choice, ask Dragonia for help.”

    [come.]

    Perhaps because she realized that the situation was going crazy, Lexi arrived quite quickly.

    In contrast to sneaking into the royal palace like a ghost, the sight of him opening the window and entering confidently brings about cognitive dissonance.

    “Let’s listen to the story as we go.”

    Lexi holds out her hand to me.

    Although he was as gentle as usual, his rising anger indirectly tells us how angry this person is.

    ···If the Grand Duke of Widow uses his tactics, he has no choice but to kill him.

    ‘I have to kill him.’

    “Don’t be surprised if your body floats.”

    It is clear that he intends to burn away the winds of Mercuruus.

    “Let’s go.”

    I wanted to ask Lexi about safety rules, but I don’t think I had the time.

    ‘Don’t be scared.’

    Have you ever ridden a dragon? It will be fine.

    The body floats and begins to rise into the sky.

    It doesn’t feel like defying gravity.

    It would be closer to say that the wind is constantly blowing me up.

    The feeling of my body floating in the air filled me with fear, but I was able to bear it to some extent when I held Lexi’s outstretched hand.

    “Hold on tight.”

    The moment I held that hand.

    Lexi took off like a jet.

    “It will take about five minutes to arrive.”

    It traverses the silence without even the sound of wind like light, but it doesn’t look that way from the outside.

    Because emotions of wonder, fear, astonishment, and curiosity were conveyed.

    It seemed to be making a storm-like noise outside.

    ‘Edeline also rode this wind.’

    But I can assure you that Lexi’s wishes will be stronger.

    “That widow Grand Duke…”

    “Don’t even think about it.”

    She is a woman who has the power to brainwash Ajin.

    There are no exceptions to brainwashing.

    Since I was the one who received it, I have no intention of watching anyone approach the Widow Grand Duke.

    ─Moreover, it becomes annoying if you die after being ‘cursed’.

    ‘If I have to kill you, I have to kill you.’

    “If something happened to Abel and Alex, I would never tolerate it.”

    I can feel the anger in his calm voice.

    ‘I’m so angry.’

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Now is not the time to apologize.”

    The wings spread out like a jet and the tail feathers behind the tail make you wonder if this person is a Rectalian.

    I can’t even hear the wind, something is pushing me upward.

    The unusually long tail feathers look like a flag attached to an airplane.

    “It looks just like a bird.”

    “Bird?”

    Horned bird.

    ————–

    The place where the horned bird stopped was none other than Hein Deer.

    “I never thought they would build a nest here.”

    “Okay. The home of revenge is right here.”

    They say they set up their base in the sewers of Hindeer, where the dead were teeming with the dead.

    He was truly a great person. A feeling of movement can be felt inside the underground waterway.

    ‘Not just one or two.’

    It really has built a nest here.

    Lexi patted both wings once.

    Then he began to stride forward into the darkness where there was no light.

    I followed behind and entered the darkness.

    The eyes adapt to dark quickly.

    “There are many traps, so just follow the path I take.”

    “I’ve seen it for half my life.”

    You can see everything from string crossbows to classic pit traps.

    You can also hear that the floor is designed to collapse when you step on it with the sound of air flowing through it.

    “I’ve probably only seen it in the forest for half my life.”

    Lexi pulls me roughly.

    Faba Park!!!

    “······?!”

    If Lexi hadn’t pulled, she would have had several holes in her body!

    I was so vicious that I got goosebumps and even got angry.

    “Uh, some crazy bastard made something like this…!”

    “This is not a forest. You’ve never seen a tracheal device before, have you?”

    “That’s right─── Eww!”

    I was hugged and lifted!

    In front of the house where I go to meet my uncle!

    “Put it down!”

    “Are you telling me to trust your blind eyes?”

    Lexi laughs mischievously.

    Why are you looking at me like that?

    But there’s no need to hug someone like a princess, right?!

    I don’t want to do this in front of people I know!

    “I’m warning you in advance, don’t mess with the princess anymore.”

    “Of course not.”

    “Okay. No matter where you go, remember that you can’t hide from me and Shir.”

    “You know that’s really gloomy, right?”

    “It’s gloomy.”

    Jaan glances at me lightly.

    How far did it go that way?

    “···There are assassins ahead.”

    “I know.”

    If they found out, wouldn’t they at least drop me off or prepare for it?

    Even I can feel the life in them.

    “Are you waiting?”

    “I know.”

    “If you know, you can stop──.”

    “I don’t have time for that.”

    Assassins are attacking!

    If you get stabbed in a place like this—!

    puck!

    But what I thought didn’t happen.

    The assassins clung to each other and were pushed away as if they were performing a mime.

    ‘why?’

    The expression on his face seems desperate, but his actions are nothing like an idiot.

    “Why are they like that?”

    The same goes for thrown swords and crossbows.

    It seems as if invisible bulletproof glass surrounds the surroundings.

    ‘I can’t even hear the sound of hitting something.’

    The devastated expressions and eyes of the ignored assassins are full of absurdity and surprise.

    “Where did you learn this magic?”

    “The speed at which your powers bloom varies depending on how stressed you are.”

    “···So you’ve lived hard all this time?”

    “You suffered so much because you made a foolish choice.”

    The one blocking the road was pushed away with Lexi’s wings, as if it were throwing something away, and the one attacking from behind was lashed out with its tail.

    “Ugh!” “Ugh!”

    It’s so concise that it feels like you’re watching a well-organized situational drama.

    But there was no such sign to be found in their nervous eyes.

    How far did it go that way?

    The presence of quite a few people began to be felt at the front.

    “It’s in front.”

    “I know.”

    bang!

    Lexi kicked down the front door.

    The door flies away and murderous threats rush in from the front.

    Baba baba bak!!!

    Even the thick bolt of the heavy crossbow that flew stopped in midair.

    “Alex. Is this the attitude you would show your teacher?”

    “···Is that the attitude a teacher would show?”

    Alex’s extremely irritated gaze turns to me.

    “You brought the devil to the disciple who had barely recovered.”

    “This is not the time to say such trivial things.”

    Only then does Lexi put me down.

    “How have you been?”

    “I was doing well until you started saying shit.”

    Aggressive.

    I’m here to help?

    “As you know, the Grand Duke Widow has gone crazy.”

    Alex’s pupils narrow.

    “What does it have to do with us that she is crazy?”

    “Didn’t revenge kill Harold? Harold and the Widow Archduke had a very close relationship. Thanks to revenge killing Harold, the Widow Grand Duke decided to kill his uncle.”

    Alex looks at me with his eyebrows furrowed.

    A doubt arose in his blue eyes.

    “I heard that the king died. But we didn’t kill him.”

    what?

    ─Truth.

    Alex wasn’t lying.

    The words I had prepared and the number of cases I had prepared for melted away like bubbles.

    “···Yes?”

    “What we are targeting is not Harold. It’s Harold’s ‘precious’ thing.”

    “Why, why do you do such crazy things?!”

    “The reason we take risks and aim for Harold’s precious things is because it was your father’s request.”

    father? Why father?

    “Giving Harold pain to the point of death. That was what we were commissioned to do. It was for your revenge.”

    “······.”

    Accidents cannot keep up.

    I never revealed that I was my father’s child.

    “···How does my father know that I am Dantalian’s agent?”

    “This is because of the book that encourages Lee Jong-ae, proudly published by Magic Tower.”

    “Hasn’t it been more than 15 years since that book came out? But why are you doing it now?”

    “Which parent would open a book that glorifies the monster who kidnapped and killed their child?”

    “······.”

    “My brother still faces the day you were taken away by the white wolf every night.”

    Alex’s eyes fill with anger.

    “Then one day, I opened that cursed book. reason? It could be curiosity, or it could be anger. Anyway, he realized right away that you were his child, and he remembered that his own child had his head cut off and died in front of me.”

    The anger shining in Alex’s eyes was not the cold anger he used to harbor.

    It’s hot anger.

    “You are trash.”

    “I know.”

    “In that case, commit suicide right away.”

    “Watch your mouth.”

    what?

    Lexi hugs me from behind.

    His wings and hands hugged me and his lips caressed me.

    “This is not yours, it’s mine.”

    Alex’s blue eyes filled with anger turn to Lexi.

    “Master, you should feel ashamed too. At that age──”

    ─Alex’s voice disappeared.

    My mouth is moving, but I can’t hear anything.

    Alex grabs his neck and glares at Lexi with his eyes wide open.

    “Don’t be so nervous. Because you will be able to breathe.”

    “···Cough!”

    “Alex, let’s not act like old people in today’s world. Is it possible to eliminate the voice?”

    His eyes were narrowed.

    “And in today’s world, age is a symbol of ability. Doesn’t everyone want their pet to be young and old?”

    It’s a threat so strong that my heart chills as I listen to it.

    Thanks to this, Alex’s anger subsided to some extent.

    Only on the surface.

    “Anyway, I’m still alive like this, right?”

    “But I pushed your father into the pit of ruin!”

    It’s true that I sinned against my father, but that’s not the point.

    “In the first place, there is no one who can kill Harold other than your uncle or your uncle’s colleagues.”

    “But there is you.”

    “It wasn’t my doing.”

    If it’s not mine or revenge, then who is it?

    “···The royal family’s safe house is perfect. There are no holes to break in. The only way is for the king to open it from the inside.”

    ─Inside?

    Anne flashes through my mind.

    no. wrong. There is no way Anne was involved in this.

    But only Anne can climb over the wall.

    “In the first place, the emperor died inside with the door locked.”

    There was something wrong with the words.

    It’s locked from the inside, so how can you kill someone and come out with the door locked?

    “Is there anyone other than you who can do something like that?”

    “Not me. Because of that, my schedule has become tighter.”

    “It is not a vision. I’m hearing it with sound.”

    Lexi also supported me.

    “For that to be possible, doesn’t it mean you have to go through walls?”

    “Okay. Of course, the servant’s blessing was involved.”

    Or someone blessed with a servant who is nowhere to be found.

    At that moment, the only thing that crossed my mind was a woman.

    ─A woman who received the blessings of the Thirteen Servants to rule the world.

    Oh my, I got goosebumps.

    “I have to go back right away.”

    “Why?”

    “I think I know who the culprit is.”

    “You’d better stay there until I give permission.”

    Alex lets out a strange sound.

    Are you talking nonsense that doesn’t work?

    “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

    Alex holds a knife to his own throat.

    ···Widow Grand Duke?!

    “Alex? What are you doing all of a sudden?”

    “···I am a widow grand duke.”

    “What are you talking about?”

    “The Grand Duke brainwashed Alex.”

    Where on earth did acting come from?

    How much was an act, and how much was the truth?

    Deep wrinkles appear between Lexi’s eyebrows.

    When the authority was canceled, a frightened Alex threw away the sword he had held to his neck.

    “Shii, paralyze everyone here.”

    “What?”

    “If I leave here, the Grand Duke Widow will use the people here to kill my uncle. If I leave him tied up, it’s obvious that he will break free and commit suicide, even if it means biting off all of my fingers.”

    As the situation goes by, Lexi’s eyes are also filled with embarrassment.

    “I don’t understand. Please explain first───”

    “I don’t have time to do it.”

    We have to compete with the Grand Duke Widow.

    ” Feed them plenty of water and paralyze them with a paralyzing poison that lasts for about five hours. ”

    ─In it, the widow Grand Duke’s head is cut off.

    Lexi blinks and looks at me.

    I can feel the emotion, but I can’t tell what the expression is.

    Because of the dog-like power.

    “Please do me a favor.”

    “···Okay.”

    Lexi takes out a dagger and licks it like a pervert.

    “Master. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m in a hurry… Huh?!”

    Alex, who gets a light cut on his thumb, quickly steps back.

    He’s not an easy person, but you can’t even think about it in front of this person.

    “You will wake up in five hours. In the meantime, just sleep quietly.”

    The dagger swims in the air like a fish.

    The dagger, which swam as smoothly as the wind, cut off each of the assassins’ thumbs little by little.

    ─What is this?!

    ─Huh?!!

    The dagger flew out of the room and began cutting down everyone in the Qihasu.

    It’s like a sword covered in spit flying through the air and cutting down people!

    “Wow… he really seems like a pervert.”

    “You’re noisy, idiot.”

    It takes the heart to complete one revolution around the body in 1 minute.

    I have been living by being pickled in the aphrodisiac that this person makes.

    Thanks to this, I know very well how toxic this person’s saliva is.

    As expected, around that time, people began to fall down one by one.

    ‘You can go now.’

    “Now take me back to the palace.”
