【150】
“What… what is that?”
Jeffrey Ishel was the only one who cried out so ungracefully in this moment.
The rest merely raised their eyebrows slightly.
No one here was so frivolous as to make a fuss over an explosion that hadn’t even occurred before their eyes.
Any man who commands and leads a household must think before he reacts in surprise.
Where did that thunderous sound originate?
Who had caused it?
Was it a threat? Was it intentional? In which direction would it spread, and what ultimate consequences would it bring?
If one could not foresee at least that much, he had no business becoming the Household Master of the Ducal Houses.
“Heh heh, this old man should retire and get some sleep. We’ll need to resume our discussion later.”
Galiazard, stroking his beard with a chuckle, rose to his feet. Violet, naturally, followed with elegant grace.
Jeffrey Ishel called out desperately after Galiazard.
“Do you know something about this?”
“Well… we have no cage that can hold the Beast King. Ho ho.”
A cryptic remark.
“Tsk, how disappointing.”
Belarion then excused himself as well, and the Emperor cast a look of contempt toward Jeffrey Ishel.
“When conducting such matters, one must fully spread one’s wings…”
Tsk.
The Emperor thrust open the door roughly and departed.
Jeffrey, left behind, stared blankly into the void.
It seemed he alone was ignorant of what had transpired.
“A prisoner has escaped!”
“Capture him! He must be captured!”
Stepping outside, I could see guards with torches in a state of chaos.
Only then grasping the situation, he clenched his teeth and balled his fists tightly.
Not far away, smoke rose from the Tower.
I had starved him to the point of weakness—how had he managed to escape?
Moreover, tonight was a night when the moon’s power was weak.
His will to escape should not have been strong.
Until now, Jeffrey had devoted himself to rendering Blake helpless, subtly and deliberately.
‘This won’t do. The stripping of succession rights must, by law, have the person in question present.’
A revocation of status carried out without a legitimate heir present held no legal validity.
Searching frantically for the aura of that damned nephew, Jeffrey suddenly froze.
‘Ah… but perhaps he doesn’t need to be present after all.’
If—
‘I could prove that he has gone mad.’
Of course, if that were established, Blake Isshel would be confined to a psychiatric hospital the moment he was captured.
He would not see the world again until a physician’s assessment declared him cured.
Originally, I had planned to make him merely a seed and dispose of him somewhere… but given how things have unfolded, confining him to a psychiatric hospital wasn’t such a bad option after all.
‘Let me think. For that to work, I’ll need one more incident and something to offer the Emperor in exchange for his silence.’
The Emperor had certainly coveted the iron ore mines.
Surrendering them would be a significant loss… but it wasn’t impossible.
With a Duke’s position, I could easily compensate for such losses.
Jeffrey Ishel. He was more of a businessman than a warrior, and business was fundamentally a cycle of investment, loss, and profit.
“Gasp, gasp! You were here!”
“Did you find them?”
“We didn’t find them!”
“I see. Die.”
Screech!
Jeffrey, concealed in the darkness, easily killed the Ishel Family soldier who had discovered him and rushed forward.
Using the beast’s arm.
Drip. Drip.
Blood falls.
It doesn’t matter.
This will appear to be the act of a frightened child fleeing after committing a crime.
“…I’ll need to renegotiate with the Emperor tomorrow morning.”
Jingle.
He withdrew a child’s rocket necklace from his jacket pocket and dropped it into the corpse’s hand, then anxiously swept back his hair.
He had failed to obtain what he desired when it was within reach.
The negotiations wouldn’t conclude until the night had passed.
For him, it would surely be the longest night in the world.
* * *
The next morning, when I awoke, I noticed the Imperial Palace was in complete upheaval.
It was because an urgent notice had come down stating that Stage 3: Volcanic Region, which was supposed to open today, had been postponed.
As I sipped hot cocoa for breakfast, I paused and tilted my head in confusion.
“Father, has something serious happened?”
“It shouldn’t be anything like that.”
“Really?”
Truth be told, I was curious about many things.
Whether Blake was alright, why Father was pretending not to know, whether I shouldn’t visit Blake, and so on.
But since helping Blake had to remain a secret, I kept my mouth firmly shut.
“I’ve finished eating. Would you like to take a walk?”
“With Father?”
“Yes.”
Truth is, Father might also be quietly sulking like Rasifer.
Father and Rasifer had surprisingly similar traits.
Perhaps Father felt sidelined now that I had a Companion.
Maybe he was a bit upset about that…?
‘Then it’s my role as a daughter to untangle that for you!’
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, flicks my forehead.]
[Diagon….]
“Ahem, so where should we go? We haven’t finished exploring the Imperial Palace yet.”
“That’s right! Maximilian said before that there’s a zoo in the Imperial Palace!”
“Ah yes, there’s a garden where we keep exotic animals received as gifts from foreign lands. Would you like to visit there?”
“Yes!”
Since I’ve gotten a free day anyway, I should play with Father!
“You little rascal, always so busy running around with friends. Yet you still want to play with your father.”
A moment later.
When I came downstairs after finishing my preparations, Father was waiting at the entrance, rubbing his nose happily.
His shoulders weren’t exactly trembling, but you could tell he was delighted just by looking at him.
“Father, am I cute?”
“The cutest in the whole world.”
I was wearing a sky-blue beret, a white Marin one-piece dress, and shoes with a sky-blue teddy bear charm attached.
Even I was very pleased with my outfit today!
“Father, but… could we go see Blake together later?”
“Hmm, do you like Blake that much?”
“He’s an important friend. He’s Mongdol, after all.”
“You’d be very sad if you couldn’t see him for a long time?”
As expected, Father knows everything.
That Blake Isshel was imprisoned.
[Oh right! I forgot to give you the quest reward. Blake Isshel safely escaped yesterday, you see. ᕦ( ᐛ )ᕡ !!]
Then, with a cheerful chime, Upiros appeared.
Following that, stamps were stamped on the Grape Board with a series of thumps.
[Grape Board Achievement Progress: 12/30]
What a relief!
I don’t know where he went, but I hope he’s not going hungry.
You need to eat well to have strength.
‘I wonder if there’s anything else I can help with….’
Honestly, I don’t really understand what this 【Causality】 is that the Spirit Kings and Upiros were so wary of.
I know it’s some incredibly terrifying existence, but still.
Since I can’t see it, it doesn’t feel that frightening.
It’s like how even if adults say ‘That beast! The tiger will take you away!’, if you’ve never seen a tiger, you just shrug it off.
So I decided to act a bit fearlessly.
“What should I do….”
“This must be the work of that Isthel as well?”
“But why aren’t they collecting the bodies quickly?”
“As if they’re making sure everyone sees.”
As Father and I took a serious stroll through the Fragrant Garden.
At a certain corner, I spotted a gathering of people.
The moment I rose on my tiptoes to see what was happening, Father scooped me up and blocked my view.
“Father?”
“That’s not something you should see. Let’s go back.”
“Why?!”
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ says this is not suitable for children to watch.]
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ argues that kids these days know everything anyway.]
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ recommends the child protection filter feature.]
What’s there?
Is there some kind of giant insect?
[All Spirit Kings who entered the room form an alliance.]
[All Spirit Kings who entered the room retrieve their treasures.]
[All Spirit Kings who entered the room pay the price to Causality.]
[All Spirit Kings who entered the room have purchased and activated the ‘child protection filter feature’. From now on, any scenes inappropriate for minors will appear as a giant…!]
Giant?
[It looks like a marshmallow!]
???
Wait, so what exactly is there!
