【Chapter 110】

 

“Waaaaah-!”

 

The Schultz Knights who had been waiting in front of the castle gate succeeded in reaching their target, Grace’s Royal Palace.

 

Thanks to Duke Callipus taking the King hostage, the Royal Knights were in chaos, and they were able to arrive smoothly in the meantime.

 

The combined power of the Schultz Knights and the Queen’s side knights was formidable.

 

The problem was that during this process, one of Arzen’s knights had kidnapped Grace.

 

Victory had been right before their eyes.

 

But if the leader died, victory would be meaningless.

 

‘Bring Grace Your Majesty here.’

 

‘What? How dare you give me orders?’

 

When Callipus commanded him, Arzen’s face turned bright red with humiliation.

 

‘Soon the royal knights will come and someone like you…’

 

However, he couldn’t continue his words.

 

Because a sharp sword had touched the end of his throat.

 

‘It seems you haven’t grasped the situation.’

 

He couldn’t even hear the sound of the sword being drawn.

 

When he felt as if he was being pricked by something as sharp as a needle, it was after Callipus had already gripped his sword.

 

Arzen’s gaze trembled as he came to his senses and stared across at him.

 

‘This isn’t an order, it’s a threat.’

 

Beyond the sharp sword, shadows fell across the giant man’s face. But even that darkness couldn’t cover the eerie red gleam that was quietly staring at him.

 

‘…’

 

Only then did he realize.

 

The real reason Callipus could become the ruler of the North.

 

‘…First, Grace…’

 

Gulp.

 

Arzen, who had barely swallowed his saliva after opening his mouth, finally answered.

 

‘I’ll bring Grace.’

 

In the end, he accepted Callipus’s proposal.

 

He had no choice. He had no weapons left other than Grace.

 

And so, currently.

 

“Grace! Did you really join hands with Duke Callipus and stab me in the back?”

 

“In exchange for bringing me here, we agreed to hold a trial.”

 

The King and Queen had gathered in one place.

 

In some ways it was an ordinary scene, but since both of them were standing with their wrists bound, people never let their guard down for a moment and glared at the opposing camp.

 

During such a standoff.

 

“You called them close knights.”

 

When Callipus, who was still roughly gripping the back of Arzen’s neck, spoke up, Arzen’s knights beside Grace flinched.

 

“You must be proud of becoming the King’s close knights through fierce training since childhood. But do you know this?”

 

“…”

 

“Your master cast black magic on his wife. Currently, Grace Your Majesty cannot speak words related to black magic, monsters, and the Crosht Ducal Family.”

 

“…What, what did you…”

 

“His Majesty cast black magic on Grace Your Majesty?”

 

As expected, they seemed unaware of this.

 

The knights’ eyes wavered as they were quite shocked by the mention of black magic. One knight glanced at Grace, who was standing upright, and opened his mouth.

 

It wasn’t just the knights who were shocked.

 

The nobles who couldn’t escape the royal palace and were stuck were also shocked upon hearing those words.

 

“King Arzen cast black magic on Queen Grace?”

 

“Casting black magic on his own wife, doesn’t that not make sense logically? Aren’t you lying to deceive us?”

 

“But Grace Your Majesty isn’t saying anything.”

 

“That’s…”

 

“There’s no evidence of such a thing anywhere. Don’t listen to the wicked words of one who has committed treason!”

 

As the murmuring grew louder, Arzen, who had been reading the mood, urgently commanded. The nobles were startled and shrank back.

 

Among them, one trembling noble spoke up.

 

“R-right! This is nothing short of rebellion! King Arzen has no reason to cast black magic on Queen Grace Your Majesty!”

 

“That’s right, correct!”

 

Arzen’s lips curved up slightly as he gained hope from the atmosphere that seemed to be swaying in his favor.

 

“Then His Majesty the King should help the Queen give answers related to black magic!”

 

A noble shouted with a face that firmly believed in the King.

 

“That’s right, exactly!”

 

Encouraged by his courage, other nobles who had been glaring at each other also added their voices, and soon everyone was shouting to uncover the truth.

 

“If Grace Your Majesty hasn’t been affected by black magic, wouldn’t she be able to explain all of this?”

 

“Right! But why isn’t Grace Your Majesty saying anything?”

 

“Your Majesty the King. Please get answers about black magic from Grace Your Majesty and clear the disgrace the Duke has brought upon you!”

 

The louder the people’s cries became, the more Arzen’s lips, which had turned pale, drooped unpleasantly.

 

Everyone was looking at him.

 

The nobles, and the knights who had bound Grace.

 

They were demanding the truth with earnest gazes.

 

‘D-damn it…’

 

Arzen’s mind went blank.

 

While everyone’s attention was focused on Arzen, meanwhile.

 

Rustle-

 

The voluminous back hem of Grace’s dress rose up a little more. As if something was stealthily crawling out.

 

Other people couldn’t see it because they were too excited, but it was caught by Callipus’s eyes, who had been continuously watching Grace.

 

‘What is that?’

 

Though not easily visible, when Grace’s dress moved slightly, his eyes narrowed as he felt something strange.

 

And then, pop.

 

Red eyes that peeked out between the dress hem stared at him.

 

‘…Red eyes?’

 

There were only two people in this world with those eyes.

 

Callipus himself and his daughter, Aisha.

 

‘So that little one is surely…’

 

‘Father.’

 

That was when it happened.

 

The child who had completely poked her face out called to him while moving her lips.

 

Callipus’s surprised eyes widened greatly.

 

“Your Majesty, please reveal the truth!”

 

“We want the truth, Your Majesty!”

 

Amid the growing voices of the excited people.

 

Callipus, who had been gripping Arzen’s neck, hurriedly entrusted him to a knight beside him.

 

“Hold him tight like this.”

 

“Yes? Where are you going?”

 

“The bathroom.”

 

“…Yes?”

 

It was an absurd excuse even to his own ears, but he didn’t have time for more explanation.

 

Anyway, knights who had already occupied the Queen’s Palace were positioned around Arzen, so it would be fine to leave his post briefly.

 

‘Go to that room.’

 

Callipus gestured toward the reception room where he had met privately with Arzen. It was still open since he had hurriedly brought him out without closing it.

 

The child who understood Callipus’s lip movements nodded and crawled like a cockroach, slipping through the door gap.

 

‘…What is that…’

 

He was momentarily flustered by the bizarre sight, but outwardly maintained his composure and cold expression.

 

Meanwhile, he wondered why his daughter, who he had left in the care of the Knight Commander, was here.

 

He had clearly ordered her to protect Aisha, and the Commander should have been well aware of how dangerous the royal palace would be right now.

 

While thinking, he accidentally made eye contact with Grace.

 

But then,

 

‘Don’t scold her.’

 

She grinned at him.

 

“…?”

 

He was about to ask what she meant, but Grace, having finished what she wanted to say, turned her head away again.

 

Don’t tell me.

 

That little rascal Aisha didn’t sneak in alone, but is working together with Her Majesty the Queen?

 

‘What kind of scheme are they plotting now.’

 

Finally letting out a low chuckle, Callipus entered the reception room.

 

* * *

 

“Father.”

 

“Aisha.”

 

Callipus, who had entered the room, picked up the child who was still in a baby cockroach-like position.

 

He wanted to ask what on earth was going on, but the situation wasn’t favorable.

 

First, he had to send the child to a safe place.

 

“How did you get in here?”

 

“It was a lie!”

 

However.

 

“What?”

 

“Arjen said earlier in the sparring match that he created ice abilities with his own magic. That was all a lie.”

 

The child was faster.

 

At her meaningful words, one of Callipus’s eyebrows slowly rose.

 

“They say if you eat ability crystals, you can temporarily use that ability. Someone used ice crystals to make a potion, and the knights drank it.”

 

“Who told you such a thing…”

 

Callipus, who was reflexively about to ask who had told her that story, hesitated.

 

Because he realized that who gave them those ability crystals was more important than who had told her.

 

If what Aisha said was true, the only ones who still possessed ice abilities were the people of the Croste Ducal Family.

 

The family head Callipus, Young Master Lucas, Princess Aisha.

 

And the remaining one was…

 

The eldest son, Sedric.

 

“….”

 

Long ago, when Aisha brought Lucas, Nox had once asked her about his whereabouts.

 

‘If you found Young Master Lucas, do you also know where the eldest young master is?’

 

At that time, Aisha had quietly closed her mouth. With an expression that seemed difficult to speak, she fidgeted with her fingers for a long time before muttering.

 

‘You won’t be able to find the eldest young master. …I don’t really know either, hehe.’

 

Since she brushed it off vaguely, he thought she really didn’t know.

 

Just because she knew Lucas’s whereabouts didn’t guarantee she knew Sedric’s whereabouts, and he had no right to tell a child to find the eldest son.

 

However.

 

“Don’t tell me Sedric is, no, Sedric too…”

 

Even as he spoke, he felt his heart grow cold.

 

“He’s a spy.”
