Chapter 93

“The barrier surrounding the Duke’s mansion.”

“Yes.”

“It seems to be designed to block magical power coming from outside.”

“Then what about magical power used from inside? Can it be used?”

“Probably…”

Shamal muttered while still avoiding my eyes.

Anyway, if we couldn’t use invisibility magic, getting inside the Duke’s mansion would be a major obstacle from the start.

After pondering how to get inside the Duke’s mansion, we decided to knock out the guards first.

“I’ll draw their attention.”

I deliberately got snow on various parts of my clothes and stood up.

Kaisis looked at me with anxious eyes. I smiled to tell him not to worry, then stepped forward toward the guard.

The guard pointed his spear at me and became alert.

“Who are you!”

“Um, excuse me… I got lost, and I don’t know where this place is…”

“This is Duke Descartes’ mansion.”

While I was trembling and acting as pitiful as possible, the guard remained alert without batting an eye.

Then I guess this is the only way.

“Huh?! It’s a dragon!”

When I pointed at the sky and shouted, the guard stopped pointing his spear and glanced up at the sky.

Now, Shamal!

When I looked back at Shamal, he teleported behind the guard and placed his hand on the back of his head.

At that moment, the guard’s body collapsed helplessly like a puppet with cut strings.

We hurriedly laid the guard neatly on the ground, then opened the back door and entered the Duke’s mansion.

Fortunately, there was no one near the back door.

This meant no one saw us entering.

Phew.

I let out a sigh of relief and looked back at Shamal.

Then Shamal, who awkwardly avoided my eyes, snapped his fingers and cast invisibility magic on us.

Only then did I feel relieved and look up at the Duke’s mansion. The aura of black magic was definitely thick around the Duke’s mansion.

If Iban was indeed a black mage, this aura would be explained.

I entered the Duke’s mansion with Kaisis, muffling our footsteps.

Even though our appearance was hidden by invisibility magic, things like doors opening would still be visible to others, so we moved as carefully as possible.

We began carefully exploring the Duke’s mansion.

When maids passed by, we pressed against the walls to hide our presence, and when there were no people around, we opened doors and investigated the Duke’s mansion.

But perhaps because the Duke’s mansion was so vast, or perhaps because Iban had hidden the evidence of being a black mage well.

We couldn’t obtain any significant results inside the Duke’s mansion.

It would take more than a day to explore this entire mansion.

After pondering, I decided to take the risk and try using divine magic.

I would spread my magical power as widely and evenly as possible throughout this entire mansion.

As I was quietly drawing up my magical power, Kaisis suddenly grabbed my hand.

“Master, look over there.”

At Kaisis’s whispered words, I looked out the window and saw a maid heading somewhere with a very suspicious appearance.

“Where could she be going?”

“Let’s follow her for now.”

At Kaisis’s words, we left the mansion and followed the maid.

The place where the maid’s steps stopped was none other than in front of a huge glass greenhouse.

We followed the maid and stepped inside the greenhouse.

And in front of us was…

“Pimpis flowers…”

Surprisingly, Pimpis flowers were blooming everywhere.

It wasn’t just a small flower bed level, but a flower field so vast that you couldn’t see the end.

There was such a large flower field? And inside the Duke’s mansion?

Pimpis flowers were dangerous flowers that caused masu transformation in people and beasts. The fact that such flowers were being grown, and in such large quantities…

It couldn’t be a coincidence.

It meant someone was intentionally cultivating them.

The person who needed to cause masu transformation was a black mage.

And the owner of this place was Iban.

All evidence pointed to Iban being a black mage.

Then, the maid picked a few flowers.

Why is she picking those?

As I was looking at the maid with confusion, suddenly the greenhouse door opened silently.

We hurriedly moved aside next to the door.

“What are you doing there?”

The person who opened the door and entered was none other than Iban.

The maid who had been absorbed in picking flowers was startled and turned around.

“Y-Your Grace…”

The maid’s face turned pale. The Pimpis flowers in the maid’s hands fell with a thud.

Iban’s face was cold as ice, unlike what I had seen before.

“You were picking flowers.”

Iban looked at the flowers the maid had dropped and muttered quietly. When Iban’s eyes narrowed, the maid hurriedly prostrated herself flat.

“I have committed a mortal sin!”

Iban stepped on the fallen flowers and approached the maid.

“Why were you picking these flowers?”

“Th-that is…”

The maid’s eyes rolled around frantically.

Iban’s cold gaze fell on the back of the maid’s head.

The maid couldn’t bring herself to make excuses and bowed her head deeply.

“Please kill me!”

The maid cried out in a trembling voice. Then Iban said with narrowed eyes.

“Kill you, you say…”

The Pimpis flowers trampled under Iban’s feet were crushed mercilessly.

“Then you should die.”

“Pardon?”

It was the moment the maid raised her head.

Swish-.

Iban drew his sword and immediately beheaded the maid without hesitation.

Splash-!

The scattered blood splattered onto the blue Pimpis flowers.

It was the moment I covered my mouth in shock.

Iban shook off the blood on his sword with an expressionless face.

The corpse of what had been a maid collapsed helplessly onto the flower bed.

Thud-.

Bright blue Pimpis petals scattered around the fallen maid.

The red blood flowing from the maid’s neck stained the flower bed red.

Iban watched this scene with an expressionless face, then turned around.

Suddenly, Iban’s gaze landed on the direction where Kaisis, Shamal, and I were standing.

My whole body seemed to freeze.

Could we have been discovered?

As I stood there rigid, Iban narrowed his eyes and approached our direction.

Kaisis glared at Iban warily, as if he might transform into a dragon at any moment.

That’s when it happened.

“Your Highness the Grand Duke.”

An old man who appeared to be a butler entered the greenhouse.

The butler remained calm without showing any sign of surprise even upon seeing the corpse of the man collapsed on the flower bed.

Only then did Iban withdraw his gaze from us and turn to look at the butler.

“Handle that corpse quietly.”

“Understood.”

Iban left the greenhouse, and the butler called people to begin removing the corpse.

The servants removed the corpse of their colleague who had been alive just moments before with trembling hands.

The butler ordered them to burn the body at the crematorium, then left the greenhouse.

After everyone had left, I let out the breath I had been holding.

The metallic smell of blood still seemed to linger in the air.

“What on earth is this all about…”

As I fumbled and ran my hands over my face, Kaisis firmly grasped my hand.

“We should get out of here first.”

At those words, I belatedly came to my senses and looked back at Shamal.

Then Shamal teleported us away.

My vision blurred for a moment, then we were teleported to my room in the Count’s mansion.

As I let out a trembling breath and sank down where I stood, Kaisis gently patted my back.

“Are you alright, Master?”

“I don’t, I don’t know.”

It was the first time I had seen someone die so vividly, and so close up.

As I ran my trembling hands over my face, Kaisis cupped my cheeks.

“Look at me, Master.”

“Ka, Kaisis…”

“Breathe slowly. Slowly.”

Kaisis continuously stroked my back to calm my shock, helping me breathe.

I followed Kaisis, slowly inhaling and exhaling repeatedly.

Fortunately, I soon found stability.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Yes, yes. I think I’m okay.”

When I nodded, Kaisis held me tightly.

“I’m sorry, Master.”

“What does Kaisis have to be sorry about?”

“You could have been in danger, but I failed to protect you.”

How could even Kaisis have imagined that Iban would draw his sword in that moment?

I shook my head, saying no.

“No, Kaisis didn’t know Iban would do that either.”

As I embraced Kaisis tightly with trembling hands, I could hear him grinding his teeth softly.

“It seems that Grand Duke bastard really is a black mage.”

“I think so too.”

That enormous Pimpis flower garden.

If he wasn’t a black mage, there would be no reason to possess such a thing.

“I should probably go find Beatrice.”

Thinking I should also inform Louis Sauver about this situation, I held Kaisis tightly.
