Chapter 58. All-in-one (5)
11.
After parting ways with the Dauphin Chartrand.
After leaving the garden, Demuel felt an itch in the back of his head for some reason.
It feels like someone is watching you. So, just as I was reflexively trying to look back, someone’s warning rang in my mind.
【Walk without looking back.】
【There are guys following behind.】
These are Lacus’ descendants.
Demuel could not hide his momentary embarrassment at the warnings of his subordinates, who had an incredibly wide field of view and excellent surveillance abilities.
It was worth it.
This is the imperial castle of the empire. Because it was close to the residence of the next emperor, Chartrand.
‘however… … .’
Who on earth would follow them in a place like this? However, there was no reason for the subordinates to lie.
Therefore, Demuel tried to look calm and walked forward. Then the whisper I heard again struck my brain.
【The number is about ten people.】
【All are expert articles.】
【You are wearing the same clothes as the guys who guarded the garden when you had tea with the crown prince.】
Expert articles.
Furthermore, among those who guarded Chartrand’s garden, there is only one candidate.
‘… … Royal Guard!’
They are knights who have guarded the royal family for generations, and are currently a special order of knights under the command of Saxony Yul Orden, the Knight of Chartrand.
‘That means… … .’
It can be said that the reason the Royal Guard followed him was under Saxony’s instructions.
If it had been Chartrand’s order, Saxony would have followed directly, not the Royal Guard.
And through this, Demuel was able to roughly understand why Saxony had given such instructions.
‘Are you wary of me?’
Of course, unless you’re a fool, it’s natural.
Since Demuel’s appearance, Chartrand has often changed in many ways.
So, not only Saxony, but also other masters, such as Lord Gorfant and Lord Lapidis, looked at Demuel with suspicion.
‘After all, he’s not a master for nothing.’
They all have a good feel.
However, since there is no exact physical evidence, rather than hastily touching on it, they would rather follow behind and secure some plausible clues.
‘But I feel better now.’
When Chartrand makes a wish to Lacus, the moment his wish comes true, Chartrand will become Lacus’ second apostle.
When I thought about that, I felt at ease.
So I walked normally, forgetting that I was being followed by the Royal Guard.
How long has it been like that?
Finally, when I was completely out of the castle, I heard the whispers of my relatives once again.
【The tracers have disappeared.】
【You can rest assured now.】
After the low whispers, I could no longer hear the words of the family members. Demuel sighed because it meant that the threat was gone.
It was a sigh of relief.
As he left the imperial castle and entered the alley of the southern district, a clay doll suddenly leapt from Demuel’s shoulder.
“You worked hard, Apostle of Jim.”
Lacus, Lord of the Abyss.
Lacus spoke in a whisper using the clay doll’s mouth, then looked in the direction where Hwangseong was and smiled with satisfaction.
“Thanks to your hard work, a second apostle will soon be born. And when that happens… … .”
“The empire will be yours, master.”
No apostle can disobey the monarch’s orders. In other words, if Chartrand becomes an apostle, Lacus will reign over the emperor.
“There’s just one thing that’s hard to understand.”
“hmm? “What do you mean?”
“The crown prince’s desire.”
While cooperating with Lacus’ plan, Demuel learned more about Chartrand’s desires.
The man who will become the next emperor of the empire.
Chartrand’s wish is neither to conquer the southern pagans nor to conquer the continent. Just trying to completely get a hold of a woman.
‘Perticia Eve Al Ruben.’
A princess whose existence the imperial family has always hidden.
When DeMuel thought of her, his expression immediately revealed a look of displeasure.
“Even though they are only half-blooded, they are still blood relatives. How can you reason with such a being?”
To be honest, it was disgusting.
Especially because he is the father of a daughter.
Meanwhile, when Demuel made a disgusted expression, Lacus burst out laughing as if it was fun.
“Hehe, what you said was wrong.”
“yes? What does that mean… … .”
“The seventh star, half-human, half-spirit, does not have imperial blood flowing through it. “It’s just a product of chance.”
An experimental subject created according to the desires of the emperor in his sickbed. A being that was born when a newborn spirit accidentally mixed in there.

This was Perticia’s true identity.
“So, what exactly means is that she was destined to become the current emperor’s concubine, not the crown prince.”
“Well, I see. Then I understand.”
If you are not related by blood, you are no different from anyone else no matter how much you were raised as a princess.
Demuel nodded.
As the conversation was coming to an end, Lacus brought up a new topic.
“By the way, Demuel.”
“Yes, master.”
“I heard from my relatives that the tail attached to Arsene Academy was stepped on. Can you explain what happened?”
“of course.”
Now that I think about it, I haven’t explained it to Lacus yet. Demuel, who recalled this, immediately spoke out the story he had heard from Estelle.
In the process of delivering Drogar’s Leaves, the Abyss Cultist who acted as a tail was discovered, and the Imperial Intelligence Bureau took action.
“what? “The intelligence agency has moved?”
“That’s right. “Droga Leaf is an extremely dangerous drug designated by the Empire and is also the culprit that started the Western War in the past.”
Demuel added further explanation.
Meanwhile, when the whole story was over, Lacus’ face crumpled. As if he doesn’t really like the current situation.
“Then it will be difficult to move for a while.”
“That’s my opinion too.”
“Tsk, I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to wait below the surface for a while until their interest cools down.”
Lacus clicked his tongue lowly.
Demuel asked back as if he was puzzled.
“Are you not withdrawing at all?”
Now that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has started investigating, it will be difficult to distribute Drogar Leaves from now on.
So I thought I would completely let go, but it seems that wasn’t the case. Lacus responded as if he had no intention of doing so.
“Yes. “It may not be right away, but if we take control of the student council, we will have something to use at the right moment.”
“If you say it’s something to write about… … ?”
“For example, it could become arms and legs on behalf of my subordinates, or it could bring together the star warriors in Arsene.”
Although it was just an example, Demuel realized why Lacus was trying to take over the student council.
“okay. “Now I understand.”
After silently shaking my head.
Demuel’s brown eyes shone brightly.
“The master wants to become a true abyss and destroy all the warriors.”
“That is correct.”
The corners of Lacus’ mouth were torn apart.
Just as I am satisfied with Demuel’s analysis. Afterwards, Lacus added the thoughts he came up with.
“Of course, the best thing is to destroy them individually, but if we do that, it will be difficult if something unexpected happens like this.”
A piece of anomaly that never existed before.
A red-eyed barbarian warrior.
Lacus’ eyes lit up as he remembered the hero who had defeated four monarchs so far.
“So, when the burden becomes a true abyss according to ■■’s choice, I plan to gather all seven warriors and strangers together and deal with them.”
It’s literally a total loss.
What Demuel said fits perfectly.
After answering, Lacus looked at the southern sky. Direction to Arsene Academy. Lacus’ soft voice soon followed.
“Then the protection of the stars will disappear, and the starlight that can stand against me will also disappear. Then this world will finally become completely mine.”
Lacus’s true purpose.
Lacus, who dreams of becoming the only abyss, let out a sinister laugh. This continued until De Muel arrived at her residence.
12.
On the way back to the academy.
Noah got on the carriage and briefly explained to the group the situation Perticia was currently facing.
Some time after that.
After the whole story was over, Delia and Ibella muttered with puzzled faces.
“therefore… … .”
“I have to return to my family?”
Currently, only Ulan and Noah know Perticia’s true identity. To the rest of her companions, Pertichia was Tisha Lapidis.
So Noah told Perticia that she was returning to the Lapidis family, not the imperial castle, and Perticia also responded with a sad look.
“Yes, and if I go back this time, there’s a good chance I won’t be able to return to the academy.”
“what? why?”
“Because my uncle is overprotective of me.”
No matter how overprotective you are, don’t you usually go that far? Ibella looked at Perticia with an incomprehensible expression.
On the other hand, Delia’s reaction was different.
“That is definitely a serious problem.”
Delia nodded with a serious face.
As if he understood Perticia’s situation.
It was natural. Delia was also captured by her father during her summer vacation, and she almost never returned to her academy.
“Also, it’s difficult.”
“huh? Are you in trouble?
“Is that so? “Now, we are going to the desert, and one of our forces will be lost.”
If Perticia cannot return to the academy, Ulan and his party will have to leave her behind and go to the desert.
He had to undergo the eighth trial of the warrior given to Noah, and more than anything, it was the only opportunity to go to the desert.
“that’s right. “If it continues like this, it will be difficult.”
Noah also had a serious expression.
Soon she turned to Ulan, Ibella, and Dilia and lowered her head as if asking for help.
“We have to find a way somehow. So, I hope we can lend everyone’s wisdom.”
“Okay, even if I lend you my wisdom… … .”
I couldn’t think of a better way.
Is that why? Ibella, scratching her cheek, suggested the simplest solution.
“Can’t we just ignore it and go to the desert?”
Immediately after the somewhat irresponsible remark.
Perticia’s complexion turned pale.
“Well, that’s not possible! “If you do that, you won’t be able to go out into the world until you die!”
“Oh, no way. “I wouldn’t go that far.”
Ibella burst out laughing.
I thought Perticia’s words were exaggerated. Noah, on the other hand, muttered with a serious expression and no hint of laughter.
“No, it’s a possibility.”
“what? really?”
Noah nodded silently towards the embarrassed Ibella. If she is the Chartrand of the original she knows, she will be more than enough.
So, if you ignore Chartrand’s words and head to the desert, the repercussions will be enormous. Therefore, Ibella’s opinion was rejected.
“Can you explain the situation well?”
This time, Delia expressed her opinion.
Even if I had to return to my family, I thought it would be enough to explain rationally why I had to return to the academy.
However, this was also a complacent answer that could have been given without knowing Chartrand.
“… … “If it had been so easy to solve, I wouldn’t have sought wisdom in the first place.”
Perticia shook her head with a dark expression. With everyone’s opinions dismissed, Ibella suddenly turned to Ulan.
“Does Ulan have any good ideas?”
Actually, I didn’t have much expectations.
I just tried to say something because I’ve kept my mouth shut so far. But at that moment, an unexpected answer came back.
“there is.”
“huh? “There is this?”
“okay.”
“Really? “What is it?”
Noah’s eyes sparkle with curiosity.
Expectation grew not only in her eyes, but also in Delia and Perticia’s eyes. In response, Ulan spoke confidently without hesitation.
“Kidnapping solves the problem.”
“… … yes?”
For a split second, there was silence.
Soon after, Noah asked blankly, and Ulan responded by tapping Perticia’s shoulder.
“If we kidnap Tysha by making it look like a third party did it instead of us, then we won’t have to worry about what happens next.”
“No, anyway, that’s a bit…” … .”
Ibella looked reluctant and looked back at the other party members. As if she was looking for someone who would agree with her opinion.
But an unexpected scene unfolded.
“Hmm, surprisingly it’s okay?”
“I see. not bad.”
“… … what?”
This is because Noah and Delia nodded as if they agreed with Ulan’s words. At this sight, Bella screamed with a dumbfounded look on her face.
“Are you serious?!”
“okay. “Roughly speaking, I think it would work if I dressed up like an abyssal worshiper and kidnapped Tysha, right?”
“that’s right. Even better than that, Ulan is quite good. “I never thought you would come up with such a good idea.”
“Well, it’s thanks to going to the academy.”
Ulan smiled triumphantly.
The academy actually had nothing to do with kidnapping Perticia, but no one bothered to point out this fact.
“Ji, is this method really okay?”
“At the moment, I can’t think of a better way. So it’s a good method.”
“I agree! “I think it’ll be fun!”
Since Perticia, the party involved, also agreed, there was nothing that could change the decision.
Leaving behind the embarrassed Ibella.
The carriage carrying the group arrived at Arsene Academy. Afterwards, the group got off the carriage and stretched with frowning faces.
“It came just in time.”
“Yes, I have to go to class now.”
Everyone has classes in the afternoon.
Moreover, with the final exams just around the corner, Ulan and his group wanted to chat and head to the Lion’s Pavilion where the classroom was located.
But at that moment.
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.
“Are you coming back from going out?”
“… … uh?”
Ibella’s eyes widened slightly.
This is because it was a voice I remembered.
However, it was a voice that could not have been here, so Ibella was taken aback for a moment. She then turned her head and immediately opened her eyes wide.
“Why are you here… … ?”
Where Ibella’s gaze was directed, there was a middle-aged man wearing a black coat. He said with a warm smile while brushing his blonde hair.
“It’s been a long time, Ibella.”
A master of the Ruben Empire and a knight who has guarded the southern front for the past ten years. And the man who is Ibella Elead’s biological father.
It was Istan El Deorg.
