Chapter 150

“But that person has a solid alibi.”

“A solid alibi?”

“Yes. He’s a native of Viscount Evans’ Domain who has never once visited Jedo. When the client stopped by the Mercenary Guild, he was naturally in Viscount Evans’ Domain.”

The atmosphere grew heavy.

Lady Claudius asked back with a suspicious voice.

“Then, someone stole that person’s identity to hire mercenaries?”

“That seems to be the case.”

Deep wrinkles formed on Lady Claudius’s brow.

“Honestly… as Her Brother knows, it’s easy for a lord to steal a villager’s identity.”

“That’s right.”

Despite nodding readily, Lord Claudius’s expression wasn’t very bright.

“Viscount Evans and the High Priest are suspicious.”

“Right? Her Brother thinks so too?”

Lady Claudius asked back with delight.

At the same time, deep wrinkles creased Lord Claudius’s brow.

“However, we can’t put the Viscount Evans Family on the suspect list just because they stole someone’s identity. There’s also the possibility that someone else stole the identity.”

“Ugh, this is such a headache…”

Lady Claudius groaned while holding her head.

“So, I’m going to examine things closely from now on.”

Lord Claudius’s expression as he spoke was as cold as if carved from ice.

“I won’t say anything more.”

The High Priest who had summoned Isaac gave a direct order.

“Take responsibility for this incident and step down from your position as High Priest.”

“Please trust me just one more time.”

Isaac completely abandoned his usual arrogant attitude and desperately pleaded with the High Priest.

“Even though the High Priest officially apologized, the atmosphere is still cold. That’s how much we need a big move to turn the situation around.”

“Quiet! Your words are now worthless, so…!”

Just as the High Priest couldn’t hold back and shouted.

Isaac bent his waist and whispered something in the High Priest’s ear.

Instantly, the High Priest’s eyes widened.

Isaac, who had stepped back, showed a sly smile.

“How about it?”

His sky-blue eyes, which had always been gentle, were now filled with madness.

“You’re insane…”

The High Priest unconsciously muttered in a horrified voice.

Yet he couldn’t help but feel his heart waver.

If Isaac’s gamble truly succeeded.

…they could return to those old days when the Imperial Curia’s authority overwhelmed the Imperial Court.

“…”

The High Priest stared at Isaac with wavering eyes.

And from that silence.

Isaac instinctively knew the High Priest would accept his proposal.

After finishing his conversation with the High Priest.

Isaac emerged with a coldly hardened expression.

‘Lady Lopez.’

Finally, the time had come to use her.
