Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 242

Episode 242. Recognition (2)

Einhard Winn Solvern.

He belonged to the 'Solverine of Magic', one of the four great families of the Empire, and clicked his tongue inwardly as he saw the great problem before his eyes.

Yurian Kraiphart Frasson.

He, the predecessor of the imperial agency 'Closed Eyes' and the sore thumb of the Cryphat family, appeared before him.

'Hmm… … .'

In fact, he is the cancer of the family.

Einhard didn't particularly care about the negative rumors that circulated, such as being the mad dog of the royal family and the 'laughing executioner'.

Although he had as strong a sense of 'bloodline' as any other pureblood wizard, Einhard was not a stereotypical man, so much so that he would apply that standard to non-wizards as well.

'Because wizards are great.'

The only difference is that the framework is different from other people.

'In the past, the magicians of the Magic Tower created magic that helped all aspects of life.'

There was no need to ask the royal family for research funds, and there was no need to incur the disapproval of the nobles.

Even the 'knights' could not raise their gaze against the magicians, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were always trampled on.

But now, times have changed.

As various systems were established and knights like the 'Girasung' appeared at the same time, it could be said that their position gradually narrowed.

In that situation, Einhard dreamed of the past. A little more, of the time when 'wizards' were active.

'Make Wizards Great Again!'

That's exactly what Einhard was thinking.

'Make the wizard even greater!'

Therefore, it was natural for Einhard to join the Dawn Order. Even though the 'Dawn Order' changed its name to the 'New Dawn Order', it was still an organization in which magicians were the main players.

After joining the 'Dawn Society', Ainhard was satisfied in many ways.

Most of the 'executives' were wizards, and based on them, he was able to satisfy his connections as a magic tower lord and the confidence that came from the 'wizards'.

'But why!'

The wizard is great.

We must become great again.

With that in mind, Einhard lived and worked as a member of the 'Dawn Society', but reality came to him.

The person with the greatest influence in the current 'New Dawn Society' is not the wizard introduced as the 'Arch Bishop', but rather the 'Knight' Yurian.

“I trust you will cooperate, Monsignor Einhard.”

Einhard, who was somewhat satisfied with the 'Dawn Society', almost frowned at the 'impurity' that suddenly appeared.

Of course, he didn't show it. He is a 'Monsignor' and the Yurian in front of him is a 'Bishop'.

Even though he only holds the title of 'Bishop', he is in a position where the term 'non-elected power' is appropriate.

“If it’s a request from Sir Yurian, I can’t turn it down…….”

This means that he is a man who, because he has not been able to reach the position of 'executive', can be 'erased' rather than kicked out of the Yeomyeonghoe.

“If you can’t hear, I hope you’ll cooperate. It wouldn’t be that difficult to check the contents of the magical tools with surveillance magic, right?”

“……As I said before, only those sent by the imperial family can view the saved footage.”

Sneak.

Einhard looked at Yurian's face.

“Did you bring any official documents or orders? If not, we cannot cooperate.”

“Monsignor Einhard, isn’t this what I am asking you to do?”

Even though I added that I shouldn't, Yurian showed no signs of backing down.

Rather, he began to use the title of ‘Monsignor’ and to emphasize more that he was a member of the ‘Dawn Society.’

'Hmm… … .'

I know. I know that it means that I should change my mind now that I am being a little considerate.

That's why Einhard couldn't hide his even more troublesome paralysis.

'I understand that Lord Flügel was attacked, but… … .'

Einhard could easily guess who was attempting that 'attack'.

There are several spells installed on the rooftop to prevent illegal intruders.

The only people who are not affected by these spells are those who have a close relationship with the 'royal family'.

In other words, it is more likely to be 'under the Emperor' rather than an organization directly under the Imperial Family such as 'Closed Eyes'.

'fu*k.'

Einhard cursed inwardly. It was a bit annoying to cooperate with Yurian, who was a ‘knight’, but it was possible if it was considered a matter of the ‘Dawn Society’.

However, since the person involved in this matter was related to the 'Emperor', Einhard could not easily let go.

“……First, can you give me some time to think about it?”

Let's buy a little time. Einhard thought as he looked at Yurian, but the squinted-eyed man simply shook his head without moving.

“I don’t have much time, Lord Einhard. If you won’t cooperate, I will have no choice but to implement my own plan.”

“If you have your own plan…?”

A gentle smile began to form on Yurian's lips.

The people who come to mind when I see his smile are Arch Bishop Eleanor and Pintel, and various 'bishops' and 'monsignors'.

While the 'Three Colors' are in charge of the research of the Magic Tower, the remaining 'Magician Families' are in charge of the axis of the Magic Tower.

It is a fact that even Einhard knows that among the bishops of the 'Dawn Society', there are many who are in charge of the 'axis'.

“Ahem…….”

The moment of choice. Suddenly, Einhard felt irony.

In order to prove the greatness of the 'wizard', it is necessary to proceed without fearing the 'royal family'.

It was a significant event that the 'white' Flügel was attacked.

What's hurtful is that the one who took issue with the issue was not a wizard, but a knight named Yurian.

'I have a strong desire not to be hostile to the royal family.'

Ugh.

While Einhard groaned, Yurian opened his mouth.

“Make the wizard even greater.”

It's the same as my own beliefs.

“Right now, the wise Lord Flügel has been attacked.”

As if, like a snake, the words began to sweep through Einhard's body, making it difficult for him to look away.

“I stand before you, Lord Einhard, not as a member of the Dawn Order, nor as a knight, but as a ‘friend of the wizard.’”

Although she was smiling, there was a seriousness in Yurian's tone.

“Make wizards great again.”

Normally, Einhard would have been horrified at the thought of having his mind read, but he seemed entranced and agreed with Yurian's words.

“Make the wizard… great again.”

***

A sane psychopath.

This is the evaluation I have made of the person called 'Einhard Winn Solvern' before.

He is a character who tries his best to refrain from doing anything that goes against humanity, but is willing to throw away his composure in order to regain the reputation of a 'wizard'.

In some ways, you could say he's a 'human Aiden'.

'It's Aiden.'

The reason why I suddenly thought of Aiden is because the 'Donassien Family' is in charge of the 'Surveillance Magic Tool'.

In order to view the video, the cooperation of the 'Donassien family' was required, and it is said that it is difficult to view the stored video unless you are the head of the family or a person of power equivalent to the next head of the family.

'I wonder who will be there now.'

With that in mind, I headed to the video storage room. What awaited me there was unexpected, if you will, and unexpected, if you will.

“Why on earth did you ask to see the video without any official documents?”

Irene de Donatien.

She, a collateral relative of Yurian, was waiting for me as the representative of the 'Donassien family'.

"you?"

Slightly embarrassed, I ended up asking again.

Although 'Irene' is a main character in the story, she is also a character who never rises to the position of 'head of the household'.

I couldn't help but be taken aback by the fact that she, who was like that, had become the head of the 'Donatien family'.

“……What did you mean by that?”

“No, that’s great. You must have worked hard to get to the position of the head of the household.”

“I see, it wasn’t just my imagination. I was thinking of asking why I, a collateral member, am here.”

I didn't shake my head because I had no intention of denying it.

“That’s what happened. The guardian was kind to me, so I ended up taking on the role of head of the household temporarily, and the other elders didn’t object.”

Haha.

Eileen gave a short laugh.

“I guess my abilities have been recognized. How is that? I’ve proven that I can do even a side job, right?”

He looked like he had something more to say with a proud expression, but he had no intention of hanging out with me right now.

“I have come with Lord Einhard’s permission. May I view the footage from this time period?”

A look flashed across Eileen's face as if she was ignoring my question. She cleared her throat before blushing and walked over to a nearby table.

“……What happened at this time?”

Only a few people know that Flügel was attacked. That's why Eileen seems to be unaware of what happened to Flügel.

“Sir Flügel was attacked.”

“That old woman… no, Lord Flügel!?”

I think I was just about to say, "Old lady."

“I thought you were someone who did a lot of things that deserved to be attacked, but you weren’t so bad that you could get attacked.”

“For a moment, you were left defenseless because you released the barrier and left your staff behind.”

“Still, Sir Flügel… how is his condition?”

“There is no danger to his life. His disciple is treating him.”

At the word disciple, Eileen opened her mouth as if something had occurred to her.

“It looks like Meyer is doing some treatment.”

“Do you know each other?”

“I saw him from time to time. He had an impression that didn’t match that of a wizard, so I often saw him, but his talent was also extraordinary…….”

Ahem. Eileen cleared her throat once.

“I want to concentrate right now, so please don’t talk to me.”

You brought up the topic, you punk.

"ah."

She was caressing the mirror with the gold element, and when she put her finger on the transparent image that appeared, she showed a look of bewilderment.

“At this time, only one person has reached the top floor where Lord Flügel is.”

“Who are you?”

Eileen pointed to the image. The subject in question was a man.

Judging from the sword he had on his waist, he was a knight, and the scabbard had the royal seal on it.

'This guy… … .'

Because covering one's face would rather arouse suspicion, the man in the video did not cover his face.

Thanks to that, I was able to distinguish them clearly.

'Uruhar.'

Cheonsoogun (Heavenly Guard Army).

One of the five elite guards protecting the Emperor.

As expected, it was clear that the Emperor was the one who ordered the Flügel's mouth to be shut down.
