Chapter 1611 – 93. Look at This Guy?
“I think I need to explain a lot, Lord Seonwoo.”
Agnes brought Sunwoo and the succubus into the room and spoke in a calm tone.
Everything was full of questions.
The reason why he came to meet you in person
The reason why he is accompanied by a succubus called the dream demon
The meaning of it being a surprise gift
Various things.
“I definitely didn’t explain enough, I apologize.”
They said it was a surprise gift
Agnes would be embarrassed if she presented the succubus.
Because you won’t know the meaning
“Then let me explain again, this guy is a spy.”
“Sniff? Then, can’t it be…?
Agnes raised her eyes roundly.
“Ah, this is the clue to the attempted assassination of the emperor.”
Seonwoo nodded his head in agreement.
Saaaaak
At that moment, a thick and thick killing began intention to fill the entire room.
As soon as Seonwoo finished speaking, Agnes began to emit murderous intent.
“It’s you…”
And he glared at the succubus, Levis, with eyes full of murder.
As if I’m going to eat you at any moment
“..Heeeeek!”
Levis screamed at the young look in his eyes and hid behind Seonwoo.
This was because he could not bear the direct murderous intent of Agnes, one of the seven rulers who ruled the continent.
Taaaaak
At that time, Sunwoo lightly snapped his fingers.
Paaaaat
At that moment, the thick and thick killing intent disappeared all at once.
“Calm down, Agnes.”
Seon-woo, who had instantly extinguished his killing intent, calmly opened his mouth.
“…I’m sorry, I got too excited.”
To those words, Agnes obediently apologized.
It was a rudeness that I couldn’t even imagine under normal circumstances.
You show your murderous intent in excitement in front of your benefactor
“There’s no need to apologize, it’s not like I don’t understand how you feel.”
Sunwoo lightly waved his hand.
Gerard Leord, who was involved in this assassination attempt, was her only father before he was emperor.
It’s only natural to be angry
Even if it were her, I would have done the same thing as her
“But save that anger for now. What you really want to unleash is not this minnow, but the dark side behind the scenes.”
There was no need to waste mental energy on minnows.
The person who should really vent his anger was the dark side that manipulated all of this behind the scenes.
“Yes, I’ll save it for now. As Lord Seonwoo said, the true target of anger is not this succubus, but the dark side behind it.”
Agnes shook her head.
That was because she also thought that what she said was not wrong.
“Please tell me, Lord Seonwoo, who is the dark side toward which my anger should be directed?”
And she asked:
Who is the mastermind behind everything?
“He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s army. He is currently posing as a high-ranking noble of the empire and looking for an opportunity.”
“You mean a high-ranking noble of the empire?”
“Ah, it seems like he was quite influential, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to lure the prince.”
“You lured the prince?… Are you saying that one of the princes was involved in this?”
Agnes asked back with a shocked expression.
“Ah, they say the Emperor was lured in as bait.”
“…It’s full of words that are hard to believe. Not only was the intervention of the Four Heavenly Kings not enough, even the prince was involved in this incident…”
It was a series of words that were all hard to believe.
It’s not just that the Four Heavenly Kings, who are said to be the biggest force in the Demon King’s army, are behind it, but even the prince has joined in.
“I was pretty shocked too, in many ways.”
It was something I sympathized with.
Even with the intervention of the Demon King’s army
It was surprising that he participated in a plan to kill his own father for the throne.
“…I cannot forgive…Not the Four Heavenly Kings who secretly plotted to devour the empire, nor the immoral children who even sacrificed their fathers to their dirty greed for power..”
Soon Agnes’ bright eyes began to sparkle.
This was the reason why unbearable anger soared.
The Four Guardian Kings who mocked the empire by pretending to be high-ranking nobles
A heartless prince who sacrificed his father for his greed to succeed to the throne
Everything.
“Please tell me, who are they? The identity of those who are worse than those beasts.”
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure it out.”
At that question, Seonwoo shook his head.
Due to restrictions, I was unable to find out the name of the shadow.
Just thinking of the name gave me a terrible headache
“In that case, I will personally interrogate you. Although it is my first time, I am confident. I just happened to be trained in the Imperial Arcane Torture technique…”
“…Why did you learn that?”
Seonwoo looked at her as if she was dumbfounded.
What kind of princess knows the art of torture?
“I thought there would always be a time when I needed it, and it seems like today is just that day.”
Agnes stared at Levis, his eyes sparkling.
In those infinitely pure eyes, there was anger like deterioration.
“Hey!”
Levis, frightened by those innocent, angry eyes, screamed and hid behind Sunwoo.
This was because of the heightened fear that if I made a mistake, I would be tortured without being able to do anything.
“It won’t be of any use, because there are restrictions and I can’t confess.”
“…Is that so..”
Agnes looked disappointed.
“Don’t be so disappointed. As long as you know the plan, you won’t be swayed by that side anymore.”
As long as information is shared
You won’t suffer just like that.
You will be able to prepare perfectly
“Let’s first determine who the most likely culprit is.”
.
.
.
.
.

“…Why is it that none of the princes are suspicious?”
After hearing Agnes’ explanation about the princes, Seonwoo stroked his chin with a troubled expression and opened his mouth.
There was no one of the princes who did not aim for the throne.
It is a situation that naturally leads to suspicion.
“You mean Brother Varian too?”
Agnes asked curiously.
Varian Leord, the most personable of the princes
I was puzzled to hear that even he was not considered a suspect.
“It seems to me that the first prince is not without greed. In fact, he may be more desperate than the other princes.”
“Why?”
“Because you don’t want a fool to become emperor.”
It was a conclusion reached after hearing everything that had happened in front of the emperor’s sickbed.
The fact that everyone except the first prince is an idiot
They were all emotional, full of a sense of entitlement, and extremely arrogant.
A first prince who loves his people and the empire would not want such idiots to become emperor.
“But Brother Varian is the temporary heir to the throne? Is there really a reason for that?”
As the first prince, he was not officially announced as the successor to the throne, but he was regarded as the successor in his heart.
There is absolutely no reason to make such an unreasonable number.
“You never know, maybe he did this because he wanted to inherit the throne more, or maybe he was just creating a justification for the purge.”
“…Is that so..”
Agnes’ complexion darkened slightly.
It made me feel bad to think that Varian, whom I respected as a person of character, might have done something like that.
“Don’t take it too seriously. I’m just suggesting a possibility, so if you think about it, the possibility is slim.”
Sunwoo waved her hand and reassured her.
There was a possibility, but it was very slim.
Because I didn’t think a man of character who had learned enough would take such a gamble.
“The most likely ones are the other princes except the 1st prince. In particular, the 2nd prince, Maximus, is the most suspicious.”
“If it’s Brother Maximus… I think we can accept that he did something like that.”
“The reactions are so polarizing?”
It was a very different reaction from Varian.
“I never thought of him as having a good personality. In addition, out of all the princes, he longed for the throne the most.”
Agnes spoke to him in a calm tone.
In her opinion, the most likely suspect was the second prince.
He has never once hidden his greed for the throne
“But paradoxically, because he was such an overt person, I thought it might not be true, and there are many cases where an unexpected person is the culprit.”
“..So you’re saying that we have no choice but to be suspicious of all the princes.”
“Ah, I guess we’ll have to assume that for now.”
I shook my head and agreed.
“It’s a problem. Even the high-ranking nobles couldn’t identify anyone of note..”
Agnes looked quite worried.
Even among high-ranking nobles, the culprit could not be identified.
This was because their number was wider than that of the princes and they were all full of suspicious people.
However, even among the princes, it is impossible to specify
How can the criminal be caught in this situation?
“That’s what I’m saying… Agnes, could you possibly bring me face to face with the princes?”
“Sunwoo the ball?”
“I think I might be able to find out who the informer is if I meet him face to face.”
“Is there any way?”
Agnes tilted her head.
“I think that if we are in close communication, there may be traces of magic power, even if only slightly.”
“It’s a faint trace of magical power… Are you able to sense something like that?…”
“Because I’m a bit astute in that regard.”
“…Then I think it might be worth a try.”
If done well, he could even snatch the tail of the disguised Four Heavenly Kings in an instant.
In the end, the traces of that magical power will ultimately be connected to the Four Heavenly Kings
“We made an agreement to meet together in the conference room tomorrow. You can go together.”
“Really?”
“Yes, the argument that took place today has not been concluded.”
“Brotherly fights are actually helpful.”
If I had to go and check them one by one, it would have been more troublesome than I imagined.
I can’t believe we’re all gathered in one place
It was a very helpful sibling fight.
‘Let’s see what kind of person is the one who tried to assassinate his father and is an immoral person.’
Sunwoo’s eyes began to shine coldly.
**************
“How do you feel? Aren’t you uncomfortable?”
Agnes asked a question as she looked at Sunwoo, who was wearing silver armor that was completely different from usual.
“The size is perfect… But it’s very awkward.”
“Please be patient even if it’s awkward. If you don’t dress like that, there’s no reason to take you to the conference room.”
Seonwoo’s current status was a prisoner imprisoned in the imperial dungeon.
Although he resolved the misunderstanding in his own way, he could not be found not guilty due to Agnes’s arbitrariness of hers.
In the end, he had no choice but to choose his own disguise in order to be taken to the conference room where the royal family was gathered.
Strongly armed with a silver helmet and armor
“…I can’t help it.”
If it were just a matter of trespassing, there would be something to be said here, but since the charge is that of peeking at the naked bodies of the most noble women in the imperial family,
I had no choice but to calmly accept it.
In a way, it is also a place to face the victims
“Okay, then I’m ready, so you can follow me.”
After speaking, Agnes slowly took the lead.
And Sunwoo began to follow him carefully.
How far did you move like that?
“This is the place.”
Soon, Agnes stopped in front of the conference room door and opened her mouth to him.
“…Agnes.”
“Yes, please speak, Lord Seonwoo.”
“I think I’ll be able to find a collaborator soon.”
“…Yes?”
“It smells so strong that it paralyzes the tip of my nose. It’s the incredible and terrible magical power of a demon.”
I was sure.
Beyond this door
The fact that there is a person who harbors this unpleasant yet terrible magical power
Gulp
Agnes gulped and swallowed her dry saliva at those confident words.
Then, the conference room door began to slowly open.
And Seonwoo focused on the gap in the door that was opening.
To find the source of this terrible magical scent,
“…Haa…”
And the moment the door is completely open
Sunwoo couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
It wasn’t just one person.
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th princes, as well as the princesses, are all emanating terrible and unpleasant magical energy.
‘…I am aware of my existence.’
Sunwoo was able to recognize that appearance.
One of the Four Heavenly Kings
The guy who is behind this whole incident
The fact that he noticed his presence and gave him his own big treat
‘Look at this guy?’
Sunwoo’s eyes were fiercely curved.
