Chapter 68

* * *

Rene had disappeared.

The first to discover Rene’s disappearance was Count Sauver, who lived in the same house as her.

When the Count learned that Rene’s maids were wandering around the manor searching for her, he deployed his servants to look for Rene.

But Rene could not be found anywhere in the manor.

The Count suspected that perhaps the Holy Kingdom had taken Rene.

At the banquet hall, they had shown an eerily obsessive and worshipful attitude toward Rene.

The Count first deployed knights to the city to find out where Rene had disappeared to.

But they couldn’t find any trace of Rene in the city either.

The next to find out was Beatrice.

Beatrice, who had come to the Count’s mansion with cookies that Rene liked, went into a frenzy when she heard the news that Rene had disappeared.

Then she began catching the maids like catching mice.

“How could you not know that your mistress disappeared!”

At Beatrice’s scolding, the maids lowered their heads with apologetic expressions.

After grumbling for a while, Beatrice summoned the telegram butterfly that Rene had given her recently, telling her to send it if there was anything urgent to contact her about.

She never dreamed she would use it in this way.

“Can you go to that guy called Shamal or whatever his name is?”

As if the butterfly was answering yes to Beatrice’s words, it flew up into the air.

Since he’s a mage, maybe he could use some special method to find Rene.

“Go and tell him. Tell him Rene has disappeared.”

Of course, the Magic Tower wasn’t unaware of this situation.

This was because contact had been lost with the mage they had secretly planted around the Count’s mansion, thinking that the Holy Kingdom might target Rene who possessed holy magic.

This meant that the Holy Kingdom had made their move.

Just then, the butterfly from Beatrice arrived, making it even more certain that the Holy Kingdom had acted.

“What should we do, Mage Lord?”

“Let’s go to the Count’s mansion first.”

The Mage Lord answered nonchalantly and immediately teleported to the Count’s mansion. Shamal followed the Mage Lord.

In the drawing room of the Count’s mansion, numerous people had gathered.

From Count Sauver to Young Count Louis Sauver, and even Beatrice.

They weren’t surprised to see the Mage Lord and Shamal who suddenly appeared with a pop.

Rather, Beatrice greeted Shamal with a fierce expression, her face scrunched up in a deep frown.

“Do you know anything about where Rene went?”

In the urgent situation, she seemed to have forgotten about ‘conquering Shamal’, taking a stiff and high-handed attitude.

The Mage Lord answered Beatrice’s question.

“It’s not certain, but I think it’s the Holy Kingdom. The guard mage I assigned to Rene has lost contact. The only ones who would need to eliminate a guard mage to take Rene would be the Holy Kingdom.”

The Count buried his head in his hands with a despairing expression.

If the Holy Kingdom had kidnapped Rene, it wouldn’t be easy to get her back.

Unless the Imperial Court moved, a mere Count’s family didn’t have the power to retrieve their daughter.

The Holy Kingdom was a nation that boasted a long history and mighty power.

Perhaps he might never see his daughter’s face again.

Thinking this made his chest ache.

Even though he was the one who had stood by and watched Rene’s loneliness in the past.

As the Count buried his head in his hands, the Mage Lord spoke to Beatrice.

“Let’s wait for now.”

“What are we waiting for? We need to go look for her right now.”

Beatrice rolled up the sleeves of her dress as if she would go out right this moment and headed toward the door.

It was the Mage Lord’s voice that stopped such Beatrice.

“There are over 10 gates from here to the Holy Kingdom. How are you going to investigate all of them one by one?”

“Deploy the mages…”

“The moment the Magic Tower’s mages cross the Holy Kingdom’s gates, that’s not a search but an invasion. War would break out at that moment. The Holy Kingdom would deploy their Holy Knights too, right?”

The Holy Knights were literally the elite knight order that protected the Holy Kingdom. They were strong enough to devastate an entire country.

At the Mage Lord’s words, Beatrice couldn’t continue speaking.

“Damn it!”

Beatrice slammed the table roughly with a bang.

She felt powerless that she couldn’t do anything when Rene had disappeared.

If this were South Korea, she would at least deploy her subordinates to search.

“Then how about deploying knights?”

When the Count suggested a plan, the Mage Lord shook her head.

“We don’t even know exactly when that child disappeared. By now, they might have already reached the border. It would be too late even if we deployed knights.”

At the Mage Lord’s words, Beatrice bit her lips.

While pulling at her hair in worry, Beatrice suddenly remembered Kaisis’s existence.

A skilled person capable of taking first place in the swordsmanship tournament.

If she called him, wouldn’t he be helpful in finding Rene?

But Rene had said that guy had left, so how could she call him?

While she was pondering, she suddenly remembered that Shamal was a mage. He had shown various magic at the orphanage.

Then…

“Shamal, can’t you make more of those telegram butterflies?”

“I can make more.”

Beatrice immediately pressured Shamal to produce a telegram butterfly.

When Shamal finally made a telegram butterfly for her, Beatrice sent it to Kaisis with the news that Rene had disappeared.

She didn’t know where Kaisis was, but she had explained to the butterfly using all the information she knew, including Kaisis’s appearance and features, so it would probably find him well.

It had to.

“But this butterfly, couldn’t we attach it to Rene too? Then we’d know where Rene is.”

When she looked back at the Mage Lord with this sudden thought, the Mage Lord was looking out the window and said.

“As soon as I grasped the situation, I sent a telegram butterfly to Rene Sauver. It’ll take some time, but she’ll definitely contact us.”

Everyone anxiously waited for the butterfly they had sent to Rene to return.

That’s when it happened.

A servant loudly announced the Duke’s visit and the drawing room door opened.

He seemed not to have heard the news that Rene had disappeared, as he looked bewildered seeing the people gathered in the drawing room.

“Why is everyone gathered here…?”

At the Duke’s question, the Count answered with a gloomy expression.

“My daughter has disappeared.”

For a moment, the Duke’s eyes wavered.

“Lady Sauver has disappeared?”

“Yes, it seems the Holy Kingdom has taken her.”

At the Count’s words, confusion appeared on the Duke’s face, then the Duke spoke in a firm voice.

“Then we should deploy knights.”

“Even if we deploy knights.”

The Mage Lord repeated exactly the same words she had just said to the Count while looking at the Duke.

The Duke’s face turned pale.

It seemed he was a man who liked Rene Sauver, and seeing this, the Mage Lord thought that Rene Sauver was truly receiving a lot of love. Just looking at the people gathered here.

The Mage Lord had such thoughts and then turned her gaze to look out the window.

Everyone’s gaze followed the Mage Lord’s toward the window.

Hoping that Rene would discover the butterfly without delay.

While everyone prayed with one heart.

Inside the rattling carriage.

I opened my eyes while clutching my head that felt like it would split.

“Where is this…”

As I lifted my still blurry vision to look around, the man sitting in the seat looked down at me and smiled.

“Are you awake, Saint?”

It was Jacques.

Only then did I realize that I had been kidnapped by Jacques and my eyes widened.

“Where exactly is this place?”

“Inside a carriage heading to the Holy Kingdom.”

This crazy bastard actually kidnapped me!

I tried to prop myself up from the floor, but when I moved my left hand, my right hand naturally followed.

What? I looked down and saw that both hands were tied together with something like red silk.

Crazy!

As I struggled desperately to untie the silk bound around my wrists, Jacques quietly grabbed my hands.

“It’s tied firmly so it won’t come loose. I’m worried your wrists might get hurt, so I think it would be better if you stopped.”

This crazy bastard Jacques was considerate in strange ways.

What? Worried my wrists might get hurt when you drugged and kidnapped someone?

“Send me back.”

“I cannot do that. You must come with us to the Holy Kingdom.”

When I glared at him, Jacques gave a sad smile.

“You may resent me. But we absolutely need you, Saint.”

I looked around, trying to find some way to escape from this carriage.
