Chapter 408 – 14. All Relationships Have an Ending.

“It’s an old benefactor.”

“… Benefactor.”

“As you know from the investigation, the Red Hawk Mercenary Corps was the mercenary corps that saved me when I fell to another world and was barely able to function as a human. At that time, Remia was the one who enlisted me.”

“That’s right, yes, somehow I thought it was a name that got tangled in my tongue. Now I see, that was the name I heard when I was researching you.”

Oberon, who realized that Remia, who had enlisted me in the mercenary corps, and Remia, who was throwing shit on the empire, were the same person, hit me in the head with a tung, tung, small fist and blamed himself.

“Then, this story is for others… “

“No.”

“… Didn’t you say you were a benefactor? I don’t think it’s a very pleasant story, but… “

“They weren’t all that clean, so there’s no big shock.”

The leader, he wasn’t vicious or trashy, but he was a man who used to wield his fists and inflict mischievous corporal punishment in order to impress women. He is neither a good man nor a good man, but neither is he a bad man.

He was just an ordinary person wherever he went. But a man like that would do such a thing? Then there was only one culprit.

“The man next to me, Guild Master Beltun, probably has nothing to do with this incident.”

“No? Still, since he is the guild leader, he is more than his wife… “

“No matter how great the gap of several years is, I don’t think it’s enough to change people’s behavior. Using mercenaries for black trade and smuggling and supplying goods to each continent? It is not a vessel for that.”

“A person can change as much as he wants in the face of a great influence that will change his life, are you sure he is not a vessel for that?”

“Yes, Remia, the wife, not Beltun, probably caused by her greed.”

“Is it… All right, if that’s what you mean, then she should increase her agents attached to Remia and search her tracks.”

“You mean the traces?”

As I tilted my head at the words I didn’t know why, Oberon got up from his chair and slowly walked beside me.

“Because until we get her books and data, we need to get confirmation that she is the culprit. In what way and in what way did she make the deal, and report the ledger and data as proof, and finally subdue the two groups of courtesy, the slave liberation group and the cultist group.”

“It’s a stepping stone to catch them both.”

“If you put the evidence that you ate some of the empire and the fact that you ate the flesh of the empire first, His Majesty the Emperor won’t condone it anymore. If only those filthy scoundrels are dealt with, the Empire will be cleaner than ever.”

Oberon’s eyes seemed to be looking at more distant ambitions, not just for the Empire.

The jewel-like eyes, swollen with anticipation, hope and aspiration, were firmly poured into me, and facing the unwavering eyes, I realized that I was included in Oberon’s future and decided to lend my strength.

In the world, Oberon was said to be a faithful servant of the emperor. It is a hidden sword of the empire that is popular and favored by the emperor, but does not aim for the position of the emperor.

But I could tell

That the sword of the Empire is radiating a spark of anticipation not only at the enemies, but also at the hands and bodies that are holding it.

“Oh, and that’s it… “

Oberon slumped, weakly sitting on the chair next to him.

Oberon, lightly tidying up his hair that tickled the nape of his neck with a fragrant scent, began to talk to me quietly while contemplating while licking his lips.

“No one knows the future of a person and no one can predict it, and of course we are trying to find out what interests are intertwined between the two, and… I can’t say for sure, but there’s a possibility that they may have been framed.”

I swallowed my dry spit at the sight of Oberon talking longer and longer, and looking like a girl sitting down with her hair brushed back and her hips swaying, only then did I realize that Oberon was providing clumsy comfort.

“It’s okay, I think, but it’s obvious that Beltun is just occupying a place like a scarecrow to Remia. I don’t know about the guild’s business, but smuggling and black trade are all Remia and her work.”

“I’m sure you are.”

“So, I think it would be good to infiltrate as planned. Even when the mercenary corps was disbanded, Remia had invited me to head to the capital together. Even during her mercenary days, she trusted me quite a bit.”

I also trusted Remia to some extent.

However, not realizing the extent of her ugly jealousy, I clumsily showed the nape of her neck.

Now, all the resentments against Erilda have been resolved, but nothing has been resolved with Remia.

It’s Arril. Well, living a life like a slave waiting only for me, struggling with her pleasure… I thought her reflections on her past, which had been my clumsiness, had replaced her with something that made her happy.

Even if you point fingers at it as garbage, it happened because both of us were clumsy.

Shaking her head and brushing off her thoughts, I even explained to Oberon who opened her eyes as round as beads.

“The fact that Remia entrusts even the mercenaries with the name of transportation request… It’s probably just a stopgap because I don’t have anyone close to me to help me get things done.”

“It’s a temporary solution… “

“If I had a decent sized crew, I would have left them in the first place to make contact on the fringes of the Empire. Since there is not enough manpower, it is clear that the smuggling request covered by the transport request is entrusted.”

“I see, the report from the intelligence department also reported that Remia would be away every few days, so she must be making a deal herself.”

“I will infiltrate and work under Remia. The prince knows how good I am at work, so I won’t ask you to trust me.”

“Put… “

Oberon covers his mouth with both hands at a silly joke and laughs shyly. Why is that guy laughing so shyly… Originally, it would have been a sight to cry, but for some reason, the woman-like appearance of Oberon did not soar.

“Yes, I know how well you do your job. Believe me, as soon as the necessary preparations are completed, I will send you to the southern plaza, so you will have to get rid of your travels first.”

“I will do as the prince wishes.”

“Whoops… “

Suddenly, Oberon got up from his chair and went back to his desk. Oberon covered the fluttering papers with his palm, and with an ambitious smile, once again informed the importance of this day.

“This is a great opportunity to cut off the rotten shoots and kill the nobles who ate the dirty back money of the mercenary guild. The most important thing is to find out the leader of the Slave Liberation Corps, the ledger of the capture and transaction of Lel, and the base of the unknown cultists.”

“It will yield good results.”

***

“It will yield good results.”

It wasn’t going to come out, it had to be.

Oberon looked at the man in front of her who showed her firm determination and quietly placed her hand on her chest.

The touch of a cold necklace brushing my fingertips. Her magic didn’t break and she covered Oberon’s body, but Oberon couldn’t contain her excitement and when she approached Cassano, she wondered if something was going to happen, so she hurried back.

It was the 6th Prince Oberon’s job to clean up this situation and raise the authority of the fallen emperor.

Although Oberon had lived his whole life as a prince, he had no regrets, but when he saw the man in front of her, he wondered if he had chosen the life he had been ignoring.

‘It’s just regret… ‘

Will the day come to reveal it to him someday? Oberon opened his paralock and note with Cassano in front of him while drawing an unknown future.

The smuggling of weapons was not only carried out by the quantity of liberation leader Lel.

Even if they raided all over the imperial territory, the limits of weapons that the Liberation Corps could pack were clear, but smuggling and black trade did not stop, so Oberon was sure that there were corrupt nobles who had stepped into this situation.

‘If you interrogate the smugglers in the trading ledger and cut the strings, you can castrate the excessive power of the aristocrats, and if you catch the leader of the liberation, Lel, the slave liberation group, which has no central point, will collapse, and it is a golden opportunity to regain the authority of the fallen imperial power. Hey.’

Oberon, who drew a large circle around the name Remia written in the middle of the notebook, raised his head and met Cassano’s gaze.

Oberon, who captured Remia, the focal point of this situation, and her trustworthy man, who can help her greatly in catching her, with her eyes, covered her notebook with her smile. Lifted his lips

“Okay, you must be tired, so let’s rest. If you open that door to my left, not where you came in, you should be able to go out to the central plaza of Cardon.”

“It’s great magic.”

“I’ll send someone so stay there, I’m going to leave it up to you to infiltrate… I will separately deliver the ledgers and data to find, and the things I want you to do.”

“I understand, Prince. We will do our best to live up to expectations.”

“Huh, if you say that, I have no choice but to expect more, right?”

“By the way, do you think that a woman named Rell will be caught so easily?”

As if asking if it was possible, a sultry way of speaking.

If a vassal had asked such a question during the meeting, Oberon would have scolded him for doubting the prince’s authority, but since Cassano asked, he thought it was a reasonable question.

“If you send me a message, the entire Sun Knights and Lilia will lead the way, so you don’t have to worry too much. And even though I missed it every time… Lel, she’s always tried to hide herself in secluded or quirky places. But for her, if you give her a word in advance, it’s enough to surround her.”

“You have a plan.”

“Of course.”

“Then, it seems like a good way to lead me to the meeting place from my side when I contact Remia without any problems.”

“Hmm… “

Remia and Rell make a bold deal under the empire by using the word that it is dark under the lamp.

The two of them will probably trade in a place not too far from Cardon. What if Rell gives Cassano his preferred geography?

Cassano hinted at Remia, who was contemplating where to meet her, and if she chose one of them, it would be icing on the cake, but Oberon wasn’t sure that the two would be so easily fooled, and she didn’t want to endanger Cassano. I shook my head slowly.

“If Remia trusts you that much, it’s worth trying, but if she was in the midst of expanding her business, a former colleague who showed up introduces a specific place… If it were me, I would doubt that colleague.”

“I understand your concerns, Prince.”

“Remia’s transaction ledger and data, plus Rell’s capture. If you catch two rabbits, it’s perfect, but if you succeed in one, you will bear great results, so you don’t have to work too hard.”

– Clap.

A group of lights attacking Cassano with a turning doorknob.

Oberon sensed that it was time for Cassano to leave, and decided to say goodbye to her to erase her needless worries.

“Cassano, please take care of yourself… Since I am in the capital, I ask for a report every night.”

“Okay, I hope the prince is in good health too.”

In fact, the reporting process was not required, but Oberon, who wanted to see his skills in enticing Regina to his side this time up close, filled up his small selfishness and quietly watched the door that was closed before he knew it.
