【Chapter 79】

“Ugh, uaaaaaaah!”

The contemplation was brief. As the knights pulled out the sword embedded in his hand, a terrible scream erupted.

“Ex-excessive bleeding! Bandages! Quickly wrap it with bandages!”

Pulling out the sword was more painful than stabbing it in.

Pose Duke burst into tears like a baby and threw a tantrum, but the knights paid no attention.

Rather-

“Duke Callipus has collapsed. Move him quickly!”

“Yes!”

As they say, a crayfish’s arms bend inward. They were only taking care of their own kingdom’s nobles.

‘Arrested like this? Could I really be caught like this?’

Did King Arzen really betray me?

If that’s the case.

If he pins all the blame on me and makes public all the atrocities committed by the Pose Duke’s family until now.

‘How many spies in total… No, the monster rampage from the beginning…’

His complexion turned pale after finishing his calculations.

Being arrested in the Frozen Kingdom wasn’t the problem.

If this matter became publicly known, neither Frozen nor Doctia would accept him.

It was natural.

What’s the end of a spy who failed their mission?

Only a quiet death that no one knows about.

Then what if the master of those spies fails?

A death known to everyone in the world.

Only a shameful death.

“Uaaaaaaah! If you’re going to arrest me, arrest King Arzen too! King Arzen is also the main culprit who participated in the monster rampage incident!”

As Pose Duke screamed like a madman, the faces of nobles he had seen at the Frozen Kingdom’s banquet flashed through his mind.

Those who believed in him, thinking he was a good person. Their expressions became distorted in an instant.

No.

The Pose Duke’s family cannot collapse like this.

Even if he dies, the next generation must continue the family line!

“Ar-Arzen actually raises monsters in his castle! He’s a madman who illegally raises monsters!”

Though he struggled frantically, forgetting even his pain in his madness-

“Sigh. Just knock him out.”

“Yes.”

The sighing knight struck the back of his neck.

Gack.

Pose Duke, who closed his eyes like that, was dragged straight to the Frozen Palace.

* * *

A few hours before Pose Duke was arrested, at the Frozen Palace.

‘This is strange.’

Callipus, who had rushed out during his conversation with Grace and was now observing the movements of monsters scattered throughout the palace, furrowed his brow.

Monsters that were hard to see even in the cities of the north had appeared in the central region. That was strange enough, but more than anything, their movements were unusual.

Monsters were originally beast-like creatures that would catch and eat any moving life form first.

But those Giant Orcs were only defending against the knights’ attacks, not attacking. Rather, their gestures seemed purposeful, as if they were walking earnestly toward somewhere.

Thump, thump-! The ground shook from the footsteps of the orcs over 3 meters tall.

As far as Callipus knew, there was only one case like this.

Precisely by Kail’s command…

“Aisha is in danger.”

That’s when it happened. A white head suddenly thrust itself before his eyes.

Kail had appeared at perfect timing.

Blood that hadn’t been wiped off yet was smeared around the mouth of him, who had somehow taken human form.

“Where is Aisha?”

“I don’t know either. That’s why I ordered those orcs to find her. Some woman made me drink a strange potion.”

‘Potion.’

The answer was hidden in Kail’s candid words.

As expected, it was the work of the Pose Duke’s family.

“First…”

The problem was that he had to explain the current situation to this guy Kail.

Would this kid be able to understand my words well?

‘Damn.’

Feeling overwhelmed, he briefly rubbed his dry face with his palm.

But there wasn’t even time for this. And in this situation, Kail was the only person who would listen to his orders and move properly.

Callipus bent his knees to lower his line of sight.

Then he met Kail’s round purple eyes that were staring at him intently.

‘I need to hide his eye color first.’

“Drink this.”

“This? Ugh. Isn’t this the potion that woman gave me?”

“No. If you drink this, you can save Aisha.”

“Really?”

“Yes. There’s no time, so quickly dri-“

Whoosh-

Before Callipus could finish speaking, Kail snatched the potion and drank it with his eyes tightly shut.

His expression showed the taste was terrible, but he still consumed it all. His desire to find Aisha was that clear.

‘Good kid.’

Callipus unconsciously roughly patted the white head.

Soon the medicine began to take effect in Kail’s eyes. Callipus grabbed his shoulders and said.

“You’re good at smelling, right? There will be many people in the castle, and among them you need to find Lucas hyung. Can you do it?”

“Lucas hyung?”

“Yes. Or find Nox at least.”

“Ugh. I don’t like Nox. He makes me wear weird monster pajamas.”

“But you have to find Aisha.”

“…!”

His eyes widened again at the word Aisha.

“Okay. I understand. So what do I do?”

* * *

The Maein boy had quick learning abilities, contrary to his concerns.

Buzz buzz. Nod nod.

He nodded without missing a single word from Callipus, then immediately ran to the annex hall. And while moving among the nobles who were murmuring in fear, he spotted Nox in the distance.

“Nox!”

“…Kail? Where is the Princess?”

Nox, who had turned his head just from hearing the voice, looked puzzled.

Soon Kail, who had been squeezed among the tall people and then popped out with a thump, said without even catching his breath.

“Callipus told me to tell you. Callipus is going to Aisha now. And the operation proceeds as planned.”

“…What?”

“The operation proceeds as planned, so go to Grace and gather the knights. The location is where the monsters are walking.”

“Where the monsters are walking? Don’t tell me these monsters…”

“Yes. I called them. I ordered them to save Aisha.”

At the bright Maein’s words, Nox was momentarily speechless.

Nox had been watching Kail for some time.

His physical abilities were excellent, but his other linguistic and social abilities were zero.

To be honest, he was just a complete idiot.

“…Well done for now. Go find Lucas and stay with him.”

‘How admirable.’

Nox, who had patted the white head just like Callipus, rushed to Grace.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

And Grace, who heard all the facts.

“Pose Duke did what?! Is everything I heard true?”

She was shocked without screaming and immediately called the Royal Knights, and King Arzen, who was watching from the side.

“How dare Pose Duke kidnap the Princess of Croste?! And even summon monsters?!”

Thinking this was the moment, he shifted all the crimes he had committed onto Pose Duke and ordered the knights to be sent there as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile.

Among the people who had been gathered in the annex for quite some time without any explanation, murmurs arose.

“Wh-what’s happening with the situation?”

“I don’t know. We came here under Her Majesty Grace’s command, but…”

“We’re okay, right? We’re not going to die like this…”

Eventually, fear turned into anger and spread rapidly.

“Who the hell brought monsters to a royal banquet? When I find the culprit, I’ll cut off his head…”

“Marquis Tolli. No matter how urgent the situation is, watch your language.”

“But Marquis Tolli is right. If you’re from the Frozen Kingdom, everyone knows monsters are dangerous, right? But why are monsters that should be in the north here?”

They didn’t know that Aisha had been kidnapped.

The monster rampage incident was only reported to the public as a natural disaster of unknown cause. Therefore, they expected this to be another sudden monster attack.

However.

“Kyaaaah-!”

At that moment, a noble young lady screamed from one side of the hall.

She turned pale and screamed while pointing somewhere.

“Th-there’s a dead person over there!”

A dead person. Could it be that monsters had entered here too?

The crowd murmured and stepped back like waves.

“Uh, uaaah!”

A man who was pushed to the corridor fell backward and screamed.

“Th-there’s a dead person here too!”

“Here too!”

“Ah, aah! Here as well!”

People who had been pushed outside the hall came back in horror. They had discovered corpses everywhere.

“This is insane… this banquet…”

A noblewoman who was muttering to herself in a situation reminiscent of a horror movie fainted.

In the midst of the chaos, Grace stepped forward among them.

“Move the dead people immediately!”

Grace, who quickly grasped the situation, moved the corpses to one place.

Soon she realized the strange common point among the corpses.

They were all frozen solid, and there were bite marks that appeared to be from beasts on their necks.

And-

“…We found potions and snake-shaped brooches.”
