Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 245

Episode 245. Near-term runner (3)

At that moment, I felt dizzy and started to feel dazed.

The moment I thought of an existence that was not detected by any 'surveillance magic', all kinds of anxiety began to creep up on me.

'It wasn't without reason that it had the imperial seal.'

Even before I started this work, I had harbored the thought that I might become an enemy of the 'royal family', but when that became a reality, fear gripped my body.

However, since we've come this far, there's nothing we can do. We have to reveal the whole story and somehow get the 'Horn of the Demon God' out of the system.

If possible, towards the north.

To the place where the remains of the original demon were sleeping.

'It's a good thing we have a way to contact Kaldrak.'

But there is another problem here.

The moment the 'Imperial Seal' was discovered, it was easy to guess that the royal family was connected to the 'Mashin's Remains'.

What if Kaldrak is also related to that 'royal family'?

'no.'

That won't happen. Kaldrak will be on my side.

The regressor. No, the 'repeater' is the guy who noticed a strange sign in the imperial palace and is gathering strength in the North Pool to prepare for it.

'When this is over.'

I really thought that guy could become emperor.

“Is the reason you went to find Flügel because of the Demon God’s horn?”

To turn doubt into certainty, I asked Urhar, and he answered with a blunt expression.

“You know, right? Even if you’re the Black Knight, I can’t tell you anything.”

However, the moment he heard me, a 'gray' haze began to rise above the guy's head.

'The color of negativity' meaning question and doubt.

I also felt like he was asking me how I knew.

'But it's not good to be sure.'

Anyway, there is an object that will make this question certain.

'Ugh.'

I took a step back, holding the wriggling mask in my hand. That Angelica. She keeps whining.

“Black Knight!?”

“It’s okay. There’s no problem.”

When he suddenly grabbed the mask and stepped back, a startled Urhar opened his mouth.

this guy.

Are you really a fan of 'Black Knight'? I guess it's because you seem so anxious.

“If you weren’t the one who attacked Flügel, then you don’t need to be here any longer.”

After finishing speaking, I stretched Angelica's body to leave, pushed her against the outside wall of the building, and pulled her body.

A body enveloped in a sense of floating. As Angelica's body moved to the roof of the building, a voice was heard from below.

“Hey, wait! Where’s the sign!?”

***

After finishing my conversation with Urhar, I immediately looked for someone who could resolve my doubts.

The question I have now.

One is, is it true that the Flugel has the horn of a demon?

The second question is whether the villain other than Urhar succeeded in retrieving the 'Horn of the Demon God'.

“……Please tell me why I have to answer that.”

To answer that question, I went to see Chief Secretary Seden Orbian.

“As you said, I am in charge of relaying the missions given by Emperor Adratan to the Royal Knights.”

He greeted me with a businesslike expression and brought the teacup to his lips.

“Please explain why I have to tell you that.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Se-den's face became colder than usual.

Of all the facial expressions Se-den had shown so far, this was the one that showed the most hostility.

As the chief secretary to the imperial family, Se-den would not have wanted to be at odds with the 'closed eyes'. 'Close eyes', like the secretariat, was a 'directly subordinate organization of the imperial family' and they shared many things with each other.

‘… … You look quite unpleasant.’

It would be nearly impossible to hear orders from him to the 'Royal Knights'.

Although Se-den has some quirks, he is a man who has held the position of 'chief secretary' for a long time. That means he knows how to clearly distinguish between public and private matters, and he knows how to draw a clear line when it comes to things that could become a topic of gossip.

So, it was expressing displeasure.

It is a well-known fact among the imperial family that Emperor Adratan conveys the mission of the Royal Knights through 'Secretary Seden'.

First, asking for information about the content was a clear violation of the rules.

“By the order of the Kaldrak, Lord Seddon.”

Fortunately, I had a leash that could open Seden's mouth.

“Your Majesty Kaldrak……?”

Seden was embarrassed. I nodded to his question.

Although it is unofficial, Sedun supports Kaldrak. Even if he does not, it is no exaggeration to say that he has a connection with Kaldrak because he is the one who manages the 'wedges' placed in the system.

'Kaldrak… … .'

If you have any trouble in the northern North Pool, tell him to talk to Seddon and ask for his help. I heard things like that from Kaldrak, but I didn't expect him to use it like this.

'ha.'

Actually, I am a little uneasy about using the 'Prince's' tricks like this.

If Kaldrak were offended by this incident, my neck being cut off was not an unrealistic future.

Nevertheless, it was necessary to use drastic measures.

The 'danger' that Kaldrak had previously mentioned was approaching.

“If it is what Kaldrak says…….”

“Have you not heard from the Wedges? The order from Lowest Kaldrak to cooperate with me if anything happens in the system?”

“Ahem.”

Se-den coughed in vain, then quickly regained his composure.

Looking at him like that, I thought to myself, I need to be a little stronger at times like this.

***

As Yurian said, Seden heard the words of 'Third Prince Kaldrak' through the 'wedges' placed in the system.

– “Yurien, he is trustworthy.”

At the same time, this kind of thing is also said.

– “One, he is also someone whose inner thoughts are unknown. For now, just watch the progress in the system. It is something only you can do.”

As Kaldrak said, Seden could not know the inner thoughts of the person called 'Yurien'.

However, I could tell this much. The words Yurian had just spoken were insulting to the 'Imperial Family' and at the same time, disrespectful of his position as Chief Secretary.

“What if you can’t speak?”

Seden, who said so, met Yurian's gaze.

The eyes speak of a person's emotions. However, Yurian's two eyes, which had no pupils, did not show any emotions.

That actually aroused fear.

“Isn’t there a way for you to prove that what you’re doing now is the order of the Kaldrak?”

“That’s true too.”

“Then, wait a moment. I will ask Kaldrak himself and give you an answer.”

Pretending to be calm, Se-den brought the teacup to his lips again.

I took a sip of the liquid, but I couldn't taste anything.

“Aren’t you a noble? If you’re a noble, you should be able to afford to wait.”

“The danger that Kaldrak spoke of is approaching.”

hmm?

At those words, Se-den put down his teacup and turned his gaze to Yu-Rian.

"danger?"

“Yes, I think it would be best for you to lead the wedges and return to the system right now.”

“……What do you mean by that?”

Yulian still hadn't touched the teacup Seden had given her.

“What do you mean, Your Majesty, do you understand to some extent?”

Deep down, Se-den was afraid of what would come out of his mouth.

– “He sees through everything. In a different direction than I do. So, I have to keep him on my side.”

As he recalled his previous conversation with Kaldrak, Yurian's mouth opened.

“Shouldn’t it be time for Your Majesty Kaldrak to become the emperor?”

Yurian spoke as if he was mocking the princes who were fighting over the 'right to the throne'.

It would have been normal to have reprimanded him for his extremely irreverent words and actions.

Seden couldn't open his mouth easily because of fear.

***

After hearing the Emperor's orders to the 'Royal Knights' from Seden, I headed straight to the sickroom where Flügel was.

Flügel is currently unconscious and is confined to the ward managed by the Magic Tower.

'How many accidents happen?'

Looking at the spacious ward, I thought to myself.

I wonder how many accidents they had while conducting research that they had to set up a separate ward for them.

“Lord Flügel, I have come to visit you in the hospital.”

I knocked on the door of the hospital room where Flügel was resting, but there was no answer from inside.

However, as I opened the door and went inside, I saw Flügel lying on the bed.

“No one came to visit you? You must be a lonely old woman.”

Looking at the sight of such a flugel, venomous words came out of my mouth, but fortunately, I could see flowers in a vase.

Perhaps Meyer came and went just before I came.

“Haha, you’re saying that lonely old lady Yurian has a tendency to speak very harshly?”

I was looking at the flowers in the vase when I heard a voice behind me and turned my head.

An unexpected person was standing there.

“Meet the little sun of the empire.”

Julius de Adratan.

The fourth prince of the empire was there.

When I bowed politely to him, Yulsis waved his hand.

“Don’t be so polite, Yurian. We’re just you and I, right? We’ve been through thick and thin together since we came back from the Holy Land together.”

“I am honored to hear you say so, Your Majesty Yulsis.”

“Haha, I told you not to be so formal.”

“Has Your Majesty the King come to visit Lord Flügel in his hospital bed?”

okay.

Yules nodded and picked up the vase in which Meyer had placed flowers.

After that, he placed the flowers he had brought there and smiled carefully.

“But, what’s unexpected? Yurian is a knight. I didn’t think he would have a connection with Flügel.”

“It’s just a simple relationship. It’s a relationship as shallow as someone coming to visit me in the hospital.”

“Really? I think we made an appointment at the rooftop a while ago.”

“Haha.”

I gave a short laugh.

“That’s right. It’s as if you were there, Your Majesty, knowing things I’ve never told anyone before.”

"hmm."

Yules let out a short sigh.

“Have you come to finish it?”

I asked Yulsis back. Then Yulsis nodded.

“It was meant to be.”

After that, he turned his gaze towards me.

“Yurien, your presence has caused the schedule to change.”
