I thought about this a few days ago while listening to several people’s stories, but it seems like the fact that the first queen loved the king is true.

Not only the many dukes who had a keen eye for people, but even Caria nodded her head. And it was clear that the king was a decent person.

Well then, if the King personally persuades the First Queen, wouldn’t the First Queen give up her plan?

At the very least, it would be possible to cause the Queen to hesitate, and at worst, it would be possible to take the King’s soul hostage.

After hearing Adri’s story, I thought of this possibility and persuaded Visi to join me, semi-forcibly.

After that, I conveyed my thoughts to my grandfather and other people, and developed a plan to steal the king’s soul.

As they say in military strategy, the best victory is to win without fighting, so if your plan works, there is no better situation than that!

With this confidence, after the plan was laid out, I called Faby and Frey and told them about the infiltration plan.

By the way, the position that Vichy was to replace was Arthur’s.

I had to prevent someone from having their body taken over. I gathered the princes together and left them with Bishop John to prepare for any eventuality.

Arthur and Rene looked dissatisfied, but what can we do? It’s right to reduce the variables if possible.

The day of the infiltration has finally arrived after much hardship. Up until now, everything was going according to plan.

1The queen is blocked by the dukes, the princes are staying with Bishop John among the clergy, and we have succeeded in infiltrating the palace without being detected by anyone.

Now, if we can just get to where the King’s spirit is, our plan will be a success.

One thing that worries me is that whenever something happens, the sloppy Lord who makes a fuss about quests is quiet.

Why is the guy who tried to stop me by giving me a quest that I couldn’t do when I tried to go to Duke Kurten still so quiet today?

There’s no way that a being like the Lord God would be upset, and Agra is desperately trying to block the Lord God. If my guess is true, quests will pour out as soon as this incident is over.

– It’s there. A place where you can feel the spirit.

We quickly reached our destination using the many secret passages in the royal palace and opened the door to the room without the slightest hesitation.

“Granny. Is that the Honey King?”

– Just a moment. Let’s talk.

We looked around the room while Adri spoke to the spirit.

I don’t feel any evil spirit’s energy. Maybe the sealed evil spirit was stored somewhere else for fear of contaminating the soul. Of course, it must have been stored in a very strict place.

If we’re not careful, something like the resurrection of the king could end up being a good accident.

– Your Majesty, it is you.

“Then call me. I have to find out whether the King of Honey is a wild boar or a farmed pig.”

– I always think about it, but Lady Alun has managed to survive until now.

“I see? There must be a lot of adults who like to be sold out.”

The moment Adri touched the black magic that had been holding his soul, his grandfather was shocked.

‘Is it difficult?’

What my grandfather said is mostly true, but it’s not a complete explanation.

If we look at it that way, isn’t Adri, who easily lifted that spell and brought the soul inside it into his own domain, an extremely evil sinner?

If living as a loner in a corner is a sin, then I have nothing to say, but that’s pitiful, not bad!

Adri, who is trying to convey as much as possible to Visi even now because the friend she barely managed to meet is so precious, is such a bitch!

As I was defending Adri in my mind, the soul that was staying in Adri’s hand changed its form.

– …We have some distinguished guests.

The king, who had regained his human form, looked at us and let out a sigh.

*

The first queen, who was seated in the middle of the five dukes, guessed their intentions by watching the dukes continue their greetings without even mentioning the king.

I guess you plan on keeping me here.

I’m not surprised. I expected this to happen when the meeting was called.

Then, by now, those moving separately must be moving towards where His Majesty’s spirit is.

Maybe you’ve already arrived.

The first queen, who had been listening to the dukes’ story with a smile, felt her magic break and turned her gaze towards Duke Serran.

Then Duke Serran nodded and broke the jewel on his necklace.

“Duke Serran. What are you doing?”

“Please understand, Duke Kurten. I am only following orders.”

“Explain properly.”

While Duke Kurten and Duke Bedfur were urging Duke Serran, Duke Partran, who had been looking around, narrowed his eyes and looked at the First Queen.

“The room we were staying in was thrown into another world. Have you figured out how to get back?”

“No.”

“That’s difficult. It’ll take a few hours to find the coordinates again and go back.”

The other dukes look perplexed at the words of Duke Partran, a great magician recognized even in the Magic Empire.

“Why are you all so confused? It’s just what you wanted, right?”

As the Queen had said, the dukes’ plan was to separate the Queen from the palace. However, the situation was delicate at the moment.

Doesn’t it seem like it’s not the dukes holding the first queen captive, but rather the first queen holding the dukes captive?

“Do you have any collaborators?”

“That must be the case. That person is someone the Queen can trust and put her fate on.”

“Among those who are now on the side of the Queen, was there anyone who could withstand the power of the evil spirit?”

The other dukes also frown at the question of the Duke of Burrows, who was struggling with his arms crossed. All the talented people within the kingdom have been recruited.

There is no manpower flowing in from outside. There is no one whom the queen can trust and rely on for her own fate.

“Yes, there is.”

The queen smiled as if denying the dukes’ thoughts.

“1Your Majesty. I’m guessing that everything will be over by the time we get out of here, so could you tell me about your plans?”

“I will decline. Duke Partran. I am not a villain who likes to talk about my plans. ”

“Oh, that’s right. That’s too bad.”

Duke Partran, who tried to force a smile, bit his lip slightly at the sight of the First Queen, who showed no sign of impatience.

“No. Your Majesty. You. Ah. Ugh. I feel like I’m going to die if I try to be polite.”

Then Caria broke the silence and stepped forward.

“Hey, you crazy bitch. What the hell happened while I was away?”

*

– It seems like the Queen’s plan to revive me has been completely exposed?

“Yes, Your Majesty the King.”

It was not me who stood before him, but Fabi. Our goal was not to trample on the king, but to persuade him.

It’s not me who specializes in provoking others, but rather Faby who exudes mercy from the outside.

“Do you remember me?”

– Of course, Saint of the Church of the Lord. How could I forget your gentleness?

“It is truly an honor, Your Majesty. I would have been very happy if we had not met like this.”

– Me too. I never knew your warmth could be so painful.

As a man who was once a man, I can tell you that there is no one who is not moved by Faby’s mercy!

Those eyes that seem worried even though I’ve done something bad!

A gentle voice that always comforts others with sincerity! A heart as broad as Hahae!

It’s impossible to have a human heart and not be shaken by it!

“Your Majesty. There is nothing late in this world.”

– Even though I tried to go against the rules of the world?

“If you admit your sins and try to correct them, the Lord will surely embrace you with mercy. He even embraced me, who harbored great sins.”

– …did you know him?

The moment Faby smiled at the King’s surprise, a presence was felt around her.

Did you come here knowing that the seal was broken?

Judging from the sounds, they don’t seem to be guards or knights, but rather agents of the intelligence agency.

You don’t quite understand the topic. Do you think you can beat us with your stuff?

“Lucy. What should I do?”

“I have to clean it up.”

“Okay. Okay.”

“Okay, I’ll subdue you.”

The first people who came in through the window tried to shout at us, but were overcome by the darkness that rose from their shadows.

The three who came down from the ceiling were also hit by Frey’s sword sheath that had been waiting in advance and fell to the floor.

Anyway, with the level of mobs, it would have been better to go outside and cause trouble.

Of course, even so, he would have been overpowered by people waiting here and there.

‘I know. It’s a relatively strong opponent.’

Even so, it’s not dangerous enough.

The opponent may be relatively strong, but our standards are set at the level of the strongest on the continent.

As soon as the door opened, I blocked the magic shot out with my shield and ran towards my opponent with a smile.

He used his strength to break the wires around his ankles, dodged the dark weapons flying towards his vital points as if they were nothing, and instantly purified the poison held in his enemy’s mouth before slamming it in with his shield.

The moment the man, who had been pushed back and was about to regain his balance, was struck in the thigh with a mace, knocking him down and stamping on his head with a foot.

After repeating this a couple of times, the man’s movements disappeared.

I returned into the room, grabbing the man by the scruff of his neck who hadn’t moved an inch, and threw the men among the unconscious ones.

And then I turn my head and our eyes meet.

– How merciful of you to spare my life.

“We came here to protect the line.”

– Indeed, you are a saint. I feel a strange sense of discomfort from the king nodding his head.

…Wait a minute. No way.

I ran urgently towards the tingling sensation running up my spine and raised my shield in front of Faby.

– Control!

As soon as I arrived, I heard Adri’s terrified voice behind me, and in front of me, the walls of the kingdom rose up, ready to attack us.

I was pushed back together with Faby by the dull impact and glared at the king, who clicked his tongue in regret.

– I was planning to attack the main battlefield, but my subordinates are more incompetent than I thought.

Wasn’t the King an innocent victim!?

Was this kid also in the position of the perpetrator?!
