The Vengeance branch was an extremely desolate place.

It looks like they are preparing to move.

‘Now that people are starting to come to Heindeer.’

“The body was dug up, but it was all rotted and only the bones remained.”

Alex removed the veil covering the coffin.

Inside was a white skeleton covered in dirt.

human male. Northern Asian. There are traces of treatment with gold wire.

My molars are too clean to say I didn’t take good care of my mouth.

It seems that the alveolar bone has become exposed due to age.

[Do you want us to help you?]

‘yes.’

[Then you should help us too.]

‘How would you like me to help?’

[Kill the servant.]

‘I’m not a crazy murderer.’

[When the time comes, you will kill the servant.]

I’m killing the servant.

Ultimately, it was the servant who initiated our meeting in the first place.

What on earth was Neptune thinking when he arranged hell with me?

Rattling─

The skeleton nods its head.

“···Is this what you did, Master?”

“I don’t have such low taste.”

The bones wriggle and tremble.

Soon it raised its head, flashing a colorful glow.

When the eyes of the dead man looked around and turned to me.

“···Master? Are you the owner?”

master?

The dead man who made eye contact with hell let out a strange sound.

“Why are you coming back now? Do you know how long we’ve been searching for you…?!”

The dead man reached out to Hell with trembling hands.

The mouth of hell, looking at that scene, tears open.

Hell, with its mouth wide open like a maw, swallowed the skull in one go.

Quad deuk! Wow! Crunch!

“······!”

“Damn it!”

“What on earth is this…!”

To them, hell is invisible.

Therefore, it will appear as if the bone is being crushed.

Everyone watched the scene in horror.

gulp!

Hell licked his lips like a frog and rolled his eyes.

‘What did he just say?’

[You killed the Grand Duke Widow.]

‘yes.’

[We ate the Grand Duke of Widow and understood the Grand Duke of Widow.]

In other words, the dead person just witnessed the widow Grand Duke in hell.

‘What kind of person was she?’

[I was just a sinful human being. Like everyone else.]

Hell seeped into my body again.

[There are two things I found out. They brainwashed that white terub and are keeping an eye on you.]

‘You brainwashed Rita?’

how?

…Come to think of it, Rita was not present when multiple gang members were brainwashed as a group.

“···Why are you doing that?”

“Wait a minute… I have a headache…”

[I know that you are Rian and that you sacrificed your life to save your younger siblings.]

Damien, Stella.

My younger siblings whom I haven’t seen in decades.

[They kidnapped your younger siblings and tried to kill them right in front of your eyes.]

Time passed for this man to die and become a pale skeleton.

In that case, it is correct to say that they were in fact kidnapped.

‘Can’t you tell me the location?’

[They knew that you would somehow read this man’s memories.]

The murderous intent is rising.

It means that they came up with a plan that deserves praise.

But I am an assassin and hunter trained by the best teacher.

‘I’m sure you guys are still in love with the Grand Duke Widow.’

The only person worthy of being stabbed is the one who is prepared to be stabbed.

I stood up, washed my face dry.

“···The Grand Duke Widow interfered.”

“What do you mean?” “The widow Grand Duke is dead?”

“You heard it earlier. They mistook me for the Grand Duke Widow.”

The crowd fell silent.

They can’t see hell, but they can see the dead.

I didn’t look at Rita.

However, I looked at Lexi, who expressed doubt first.

“···Apparently, the one I killed was a fake brainwashed by the Grand Duke Widow.”

“What?”

“So, then we can be brainwashed again?!”

Rita shakes her head and pretends to be surprised.

“No. There is resistance to brainwashing. It’s different if it’s a monster that’s like an agent.”

“I guess I expected it from your tone of voice, but why are you saying that now?”

“Up until now, I was just sick. …until the Grand Duke Widow directly interfered.”

People can never forget those who left first.

I love you even though I can’t see you again.

Anyone would be shocked if their dead family came back to greet them.

But what next?

‘I’m probably crying because I’m so happy.’

There are two ways to lure game into a trap.

─Temptation and deception.

” When I think about it, there was no way a woman with ordinary physical abilities would appear in front of me.”

“I don’t understand. Why does a hidden person now appear?”

“That woman secretly cares about her people.”

Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

Of course. Because she was a murderer who murdered her own husband.

I revealed the heavy truth to convince you of my lies.

“Herold was the son of a widowed archduke, and Hwanseong were the people he raised.”

“···Herald was the son of a widowed archduke?”

“Yes. His eyes went blank because his child died.”

People who have unrequited love are always envied.

I hope the other person loves you too.

So, even if he knew that the Grand Duke Widow did not love him, he would still be deceived.

It’s not a question of intelligence.

Males are such animals.

“First, we have to catch the widow Grand Duke.”

“How do you know where it is?”

Rita, who received attention from the presumptuous question, closed her mouth in embarrassment.

It looks like I was deceived.

“Like the Grand Duke Widow, I was once Dantalian’s agent.”

I smiled at Rita.

“Dantalian’s power of agency projects life.”

“She practices sericulture and projects threads of power, but I am a hunter and I never forget a scent once I smell it.”

I don’t need to use my hands.

They’ll contact you from over there first.

“Uncle, thank you for your help. We will take care of the rest.”

“···Don’t come here again.”

“I will send you a wedding invitation at the wedding.”

“Don’t send it.”

You have to send it unconditionally.

After leaving Heindeer’s basement, we rode horses and headed straight to Gestier.

How far did you go on horseback like that?

“So, what should I do?”

“They kidnapped my family.”

“······What do you mean?”

The air trembles.

“Si. Can you find Stella and Damien by sound?”

“···It’s that white Terup.”

“Don’t act hastily.”

“No matter how much I can hear the sounds of the world, they are just sounds. I need a specific word.”

‘···Word.’

Widow Grand Duke, Sia. Nothing more comes to mind than this.

While I was tracing my memories of the Grand Duke Widow, an old incident soon passed through my mind.

When I stopped by the Weitburg estate.

‘hello. His name is Arista Bailey Stone, a member of the psychedelic group. Mirage has given orders to welcome distinguished guests to a separate room.’

“···Mirage.”

“Mirage?”

“This is the word used when a hallucinator calls the Grand Duke Widow.”

The deceased just now referred to the widow Grand Duke as ‘master’.

I don’t know if I think she changed her name intentionally to hide from Lexi.

“Let’s listen.”

“Father, mother, and Jean are safe, right?”

“You don’t have to worry about the three of them, because I set them up.”

Why did you put it on just three people?

“If possible, I should have protected Stella and Damien.”

Zain glanced at me.

“··After you left, the two children were unable to forgive Abel.”

“So?”

“The two entered Romaria’s Academy. After that, I settled there. That’s why I haven’t seen it a few times.”

Ultimately, this is it.

I’m not in love with it.

“If I meet you, I should say something.”

“Sure.”

Hermann glanced at me.

“···If your family is so precious, why didn’t you take care of them in advance?”

Of course I wanted to take care of it.

This would have been the case if it had not been for the fierce opposition of those around him.

“I cannot show my face because I have committed so many sins.”

“I assure you, there is no sin that cannot be revealed among family members.”

I glanced at Lexi.

Lexi intentionally avoided my gaze.

If you think about it, Lexi and Alex were people who did not have a normal family.

“No matter how good you are, you will regret it in the end. So, do well now.”

“Yes. This time, no matter what anyone says, I definitely plan to do so.”

I decided that once this was over, no matter what anyone said, I would definitely visit my parents.

* * * * * *

The Gestier arrived in almost a week, but there was no time anymore.

“Isabel, I need to visit the South soon.”

“···Ah, yes. That’s right.”

Even though she had to quickly prepare for departure, Isabelle looked uneasy.

“Is there anything that bothers you?”

Isabel glanced at me and then smiled awkwardly.

“The nobles are slowly arming their private soldiers.”

There is one reason why nobles arm their private soldiers.

─Rebellion.

The scenario I had in mind was coming to fruition.

But I couldn’t understand.

‘The situation is too radical.’

The troops of the Great Wall are the king’s troops.

Although the condition of the colon wall is getting worse, it is not that bad yet.

The words of a failed rebellion are obvious, so why are they rebelling already?

“And then a letter arrived.”

Isabel gives me a letter.

The content of the letter was brief.

─Give in the widow Grand Duke.

Only then did I understand the situation.

It seems like these guys are also getting a kick out of it.

“When did the letter arrive?”

“Yesterday. What does this mean? The widow Grand Duke is dead.”

“···It looks like what I killed was fake.”

At the same time, I responded with hand signals.

‘trap.’

Isabel nodded leisurely.

“···Well, there’s no way that wicked woman could die easily.”

“You haven’t caught it yet, but you’re giving it to me, so you’re telling me to catch it and kill it?”

Isabelle sends a hand signal.

‘stomach. person. one.’

‘Neglect.’

I felt nostalgic for the bailiff’s hand signals that I hadn’t used in a long time.

Isabelle was also smiling as if she missed it.

“In the first place, the owner of Hwansang was the Grand Duke of Widow, so why does Hwansang want the Grand Duke of Widow?”

“My power is to smell, so it seems like I can’t move easily. ···If even a single drop of blood had been spilled, it would have been caught in the evening.”

It was clearly Rita who was loitering up here.

They seem to be underestimating the discernment I have gained while crossing the line of fire.

“Perhaps it was they who ordered the rebellion.”

“That’s stupid. Do you think that such a rebellion will work in front of me, Dantalian’s representative?”

“They seem to think they are in a position to negotiate.”

The only people they can bring to the negotiating table are Damian and Stella.

And appear in front of the table.

The moment I catch even one of you, the first knight will come to cut off your heads.
