【Chapter 152】

I smiled at Rowan while continuously exchanging glances with Lucas.

‘Aisha. I’ll drink it, so don’t eat or drink anything.’

‘Okay.’

In case the food was poisoned, we decided that only one of us would drink the tea.

I would only pretend to drink.

For now, everything was flowing perfectly according to plan.

“Thank you. Perhaps because the weather is warm, it’s really nice to have tea time.”

Just as I finished the quick eye contact with Lucas and was about to sit down in my chair with a bright smile.

Crash!

Suddenly, with a tremendous explosion sound, a carriage burst through the reception room wall.

My vision was covered in dust and debris.

* * *

Crash—!

At the same time, the knights outside the manor flinched.

“What was that just now?!”

“It sounded like an explosion… look over there!”

After hearing a tremendous roar that hurt their eardrums, they could see black smoke rising from the opposite side of the manor.

The Croste knights who had been waiting behind the manor with Dean captured according to Lucas’s orders stared blankly in that direction.

“Something seems to have happened. Shouldn’t we go check?”

“That’s true, but… what do we do with this guy?”

One knight glanced at Dean, who was standing there dumbfounded.

The guy who had been grinning foolishly when he was with Aisha became chillingly cold the moment she disappeared.

As if he had become a different person.

That’s right.

Aebin, disguised as Dean, was not in a good mood right now.

To the point where he wanted to throw punches at anyone who bothered him.

‘Princess Aisha is a former spy. The longer we drag this out, the more disadvantageous it might be for us, so let’s start immediately without her expecting it.’

It had been 10 years since the fall of the Pose family.

Unlike their own country which was increasingly declining, Frozen had built monster training facilities and was even introducing new ability users.

Doctia, seeking the kingdom’s revival, ordered them to kidnap or eliminate the ability users who led Frozen’s prosperity.

Following those orders, Sedric’s first target upon coming here was Aisha.

There were two reasons.

First.

Her attack power was weaker compared to others.

Second.

She was loved by the people of the Frozen Kingdom and members of the Croste family, so they could use her as a hostage if necessary.

‘Let’s just kidnap her, not kill her.’

Aebin had definitely said that.

He planned to kidnap Aisha and meet her safely again in Doctia.

If he treated her well while she was isolated, she might come to depend on him.

‘If we kill her, it’ll be war immediately. It’s better to capture her as a hostage and use her to our advantage, right?’

Sedric nodded at his suggestion.

He clearly took it as agreement with his words.

This morning, when he saw them bringing a huge carriage without a coachman or horses into the manor, he felt something was strange.

‘That crazy bastard. To start with a direct attack.’

He had given a hint just in case, but could she have noticed such an extreme situation that even he hadn’t expected?

Aebin, emerging from his thoughts, sighed and spoke to the knights who were still pondering.

“I won’t run away. As the aide to a well-known count, I can’t ruin the count’s reputation. Feel free to go check the situation.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you hear? I said I won’t flee, so go check on your master.”

He was clearly bound and couldn’t do anything.

Yet there was something eerily unsettling about his face as he spoke coldly with his head tilted.

‘What’s with this guy.’

Earlier he seemed like a fool obsessed with women.

“…I’ll go check it out.”

The hesitant knight asked his colleague to watch Aebin and ran toward where the smoke was coming from.

And after quite some time, he returned—

“Huff, gasp—… It’s, it’s serious. There was an accident, and the maids said some carriage suddenly burst through the reception room wall.”

“What?!”

“Fortunately there are no deaths, but they say Lady Aisha injured her leg.”

Aebin’s expression brightened slightly as he listened to the conversation while standing on one leg with a furrowed brow.

Aisha was alive.

“She injured her leg? Is it serious?”

“They said she went to receive treatment immediately, but no matter how much I looked around the manor, the two of them aren’t there. Something’s strange.”

It seemed the kidnapping was successful too.

‘Thank goodness, Aisha.’

If Aisha was moving toward the Kingdom of Doctia, then he had no reason to stay here either.

When he touched the rope binding his wrists with his fingers, black liquid spread from that point, and the rope began to melt away instantly.

“First, let’s inform the knights waiting outside and start searching immediately. And send an urgent message to Duke Callipus…”

Thud—

“What message? I’ll take good care of Princess Aisha, so don’t worry.”

Aebin, who had somehow freed himself from his bonds, struck the knight’s neck in one blow.

As the knight stiffened as if electrocuted and collapsed, his surprised colleague quickly drew his sword, but.

“Argh!”

Aebin was faster.

Aebin struck the knight’s hand with his long leg, then used his other leg to slam the knight’s back to the ground while his upper body was lowered.

In an instant, only Aebin stood where the two men had fallen.

Since Sedric, like himself, wouldn’t have removed his disguise, it wouldn’t be easily discovered that they were the ones who kidnapped Aisha.

‘I need to hurry and catch up to see Aisha.’

The corners of his eyes curved like crescents.

Aebin passed between the fallen knights and lightly leaped up, disappearing into the trees.

‘Sharpen your hearing like a child hiding in a closet.’

Dean’s words seemed to have surfaced from my subconscious.

Could it be that he was really worried about me?

I don’t know who he was, but I shouldn’t have just been on guard.

If I had paid just a little more attention, I might have heard the sound of the carriage charging.

But who would have known?

Even the most notorious villains politely wait when the protagonist is transforming.

What’s the point of ramming with a carriage before I even sit down?

Are they trying to destroy clichés?

I thought I had trained somewhat, but I really might have died if I hadn’t quickly dodged!

“…”

Feeling my consciousness returning, I vented my anger internally and slowly lifted my eyelids.

But my vision was still dark.

I suddenly felt rough cloth covering my face.

Ah. Since they kidnapped me, they covered my vision too?

“This kind of cliché isn’t necessary…”

“Aisha!”

As I was muttering.

Though I couldn’t see him, I heard Lucas’s voice from across the way.

“Aisha, are you okay? Are you conscious?”

“Brother? Where are we?”

“…This place is,”

“That bastard doesn’t know where we are either, so keep your mouth shut.”

That’s when it happened.

A startlingly low bass voice interjected into the conversation.

It wasn’t Rowan’s voice.

‘Then could it be…’

I tried to twist my upper body to check, but felt something sharp near the right side of my neck.

“Ah…!”

“What’s wrong! What did you do to Aisha! You said you wouldn’t touch us if we quietly followed along wearing masks!”

When I let out a surprised groan, Lucas shouted in alarm.

The situation quickly organized itself in my head.

Count Rowan must have been a spy after all.

And this bastard had taken me hostage and kidnapped Lucas too.

Even though I had been wary and prepared in various ways, I hadn’t expected him to pull something like this.

“You’re a spy from the Doctia faction, aren’t you?”

I probed, but the other party gave no answer.

Hmm. Then shall I make his mouth itch to speak?

“Ah, it’s probably not Doctia. Doctia wouldn’t have made such a thoughtless, reckless attempt.”

“…”

“If Count Rowan and even Croste’s direct lineage disappeared, what would happen next? No matter how lousy a spy is, they wouldn’t just ram into us with a carriage without thinking about the aftermath… right?”

Sniff sniff.

“Brother Lucas. Don’t you smell something?”

“A smell?”

“Yeah. A foul smell.”

How’s that. Annoying, isn’t it?

“Wow, you tore him apart.”

Lucas was impressed, but the opponent I was targeting still gave no response.

He must be quite a skilled spy.

Seeing that he doesn’t get riled up by this kind of provocation, he must be seriously determined to carry out his mission.

Then I’ll go with a different strategy.

Wiggle wiggle-

When I squirmed my hips and pressed my body as close as possible to the spy, more force was applied to the sword aimed at my neck.

“Hey, don’t be so tense. Back in my day… I used to do some spy work too. Could we possibly know each other?”

Code name for this operation.

School ties. Regional ties. Blood ties!

“Could you be… Louis, who trained with me?!”

“…”

Not school ties then.

“Ah, no. Could you be Malvin, who was from the North like me~?”

“…”

Tsk, not regional ties either.

Is he pretending not to know? Either way, it was a failure.

Then…

‘What’s left is blood ties.’

I gulped.

I’m a bit concerned about Lucas’s reaction, but it’s better to get any information I can.

Let me put on a poker face!

“By any chance… could you be my half-brother Sedric~?”

I asked in a joking tone with a grin.

I felt the sword aimed at my neck flinch slightly.

Of course, it returned to its original pace within 0.5 seconds.
