Chapter 180 – 15. Return (1)

[Return]

“Then, delegation. Everyone, please return safely. There are various circumstances in this meeting, but I hope there will be a better meeting in the future.”

Queen Catarina of the Kingdom of Ventorino said so to the envoys returning to the Kingdom of Ulstro in the drawing room.

As she said, there were many big events in this meeting, so neither side had much success. At least to the extent that I made friends during my long stay. As for the Kingdom of Ventorino, the damage was particularly great, but the Kingdom of Ulstro got a not-too-bad result thanks to Valdez’s performance.

Of course, these are all superficial things.

In reality it was different.

As a kingdom, it may not be, but the royal family got everything they wanted. Because what the three mothers and daughters of the royal family want is what Valdes wants. Valdez got everything he wanted in the kingdom of Ventorino.

That was the case with the current situation.

Katarina’s gaze, which was looking around the delegation, stopped at Valdes.

“Whoops.”

“…”

The queen with a meaningful smile and Valdez accepting it expressionlessly.

But no one thought it strange.

Valdez was a benefactor who saved her three families and was a hero of the country. He did just that in terms of the position he occupied within the delegation. If he was a commoner who wasn’t even a knight yet, he should have been positioned far back, but he was positioned at the front of the delegation.

Just before leaving in such a friendly atmosphere, Mercedes asked.

“By the way, how is His Highness King Mark?”

A voice full of worries.

However, both the person asking the question and the person being asked knew the answer.

Katarina shook her head with a dark expression.

“You haven’t come to your senses yet.”

“I see… But don’t worry too much, Lady Katarina. His Highness His will get well soon.”

“Yes, of course. Thank you for your concern, Princess Mercedes.”

The moment Mercedes slightly raised her head, the eyes of the two deputies met.

Neither of them was worried or sad. All of their attitudes to the outside world are lies. Yes, the two of them knew very well why Mark had become that way. She also knew that she would never hear his clear voice again.

Turning her gaze back to Valdes, Katarina remembered the night two days ago.

After a hot night with her mother and daughter, Valdez said to her mother and daughter her, who barely came to her senses her.

“I’ll let you know what she didn’t say until the end.”

“If you didn’t tell me…”

“, Ha… That’s the exact identity… Are you talking?”

Clara caught her breath and made a nervous expression.

Valdez told Marc how he managed to survive. In the process, Katarina and Clara learned about Valdes’ past his. However, he still did not know how the hero Pedro became Valdes.

“That’s the same… But this is the side I didn’t say on purpose.”

“… Marc’s treatment, that’s what you mean.”

“!!”

Clara looked at her in awe at the sight of her mother her uttering her calmly astonishing words her.

But her predictions were correct.

“Okay.”

“Ah…”

Compared to Katarina, who was not very surprised, Clara was violently agitated, and she didn’t know what to do. Compared to the queen, who had already made up her mind her, the princess did n’t think about that at all. She had a hunch that she was distinctly different from Lloyd, especially when she looked at the two of them.

Although Lloyd appears normal, her deep fear of Valdés and Clara is etched into her mind her. Thanks to that, she showed that she couldn’t resist the two of them in the slightest and followed their words thoroughly.

“Ah, father… What are you going to do… ?”

Clara asked in her trembling voice her, he answered.

“I won’t kill you.”

“…”

“I didn’t intend to kill it from the beginning. I intended to make it more painful than dying. But that’s giving up. To be honest, I’m not interested anymore. But…”

“If alive, it would be annoying.”

“Okay.”

“It’s annoying…”

Clara shook her head at her complex face her.

But after a while she made up her mind and lifted her face.

“… Huh, okay… I’m fine. Actually, I’ve endured this enough… Because I’ve become the owner’s bitch.”

“……Okay.”

After that, Valdes’ explanation continued.

He had no intention of killing Mark, but unlike Lloyd, he was unlikely to give in completely mentally. Right now, the shock is so great that I can’t even come to my senses.

Because of this, Valdez thought of putting him into a coma, and he did just that.

It was very easy to subdue Mark, who had lost his mind and was weak. Valdez put the magic power at his disposal his to the maximum and put Mark in a coma so that he would never wake up again. It was not difficult to get the job done because of his outstanding talent and what he had prepared in advance.

Only one thing left.

Just in case, to prevent the royal magician from examining Mark’s body in detail. There is no way it would be revealed by lightly checking it, but if the magician deduced that Mark’s condition was due to magic and examined it closely, it might be discovered enough.

So Valdés had Katarina testify.

It is said that Marc fell while holding on to his back during sexual intercourse.

Of course, because it can be a shame, only a few people know the real reason, and it is known to the public that it is due to overwork. And since Alfonso, the successor, was still young, the queen took the place of the king.

Three members of the royal family, excluding the king, and the dark elf sisters who were converted into fakes.

Even if Valdez left the Kingdom of Ventorino, these five were going to make the kingdom easier for him to conquer in the future. To his liking, and with as little damage as possible.

‘Oh, there was Rachel.’

Valdes, who was lost in thought as he left the capital with the envoys, recalled the last lineage of the previous dynasty.

Rachel Ventorino.

She was supposed to be adopted as the adopted daughter of Mark and Katarina, given the circumstances. Of course, this was also Valdes’ plan. Irena and Yu Eli, who took care of her after he left, are also planning to head to the Dejac Empire.

Rachel was much more useful to be in the kingdom than there. Besides that, he was hoping that she would become a little friendly with the three members of the Ventorino royal family. Unfortunately, she didn’t have time to get to know her because she woke up a long time later on their first night together.

“It’s a little unsettling, but I’m sure it’ll work out somehow.”

Valdez turned his head and looked back at the aristocrats of Ventorino who had come to meet him.

There, Alfonso was waving at him with a face dripping with regret.

Seeing the prince who had become his faithful follower His, Valdes laughed.

It was because of what happened yesterday.

‘Really, that kid is really….’

Her adoption of her of Rachel was a confirmed fact, and she had formally introduced her the day before, as she needed to get acquainted with the rest of her royal family. Alfonso was also there, and, ironically, the prince fell in love with his half-sister at first sight.

Alfonso was not discouraged when he found out right away. Instead, he asked Valdez for a favor.

“Hey, Lord Valdez.”

“What are you doing?”

“Rachel too… Is Lord Valdez’s woman?”

“That…”

As he pondered what to say, Alfonso said with twinkling eyes.

“Then later, can you show us what the two of you are doing?”

“…What?”

The boy’s words were so absurd that Valdez unknowingly spat out his own words. But he didn’t care. Instead, he muted with a very excited face.

“Ha, I’m really looking forward to it!”

“…”

“And possibly my older sister… Hehe.”

“Ah… That, well, yes… “

Alfonso not only acquired the taste of Mazo, but also the taste of netorare, excited about losing someone important to him. Valdez felt that while he regretted the birth of the terrible being he had mentioned, he was also fortunate.

It seems like he’s enjoying himself.

Anyway, so Rachel was accepted into their family her without much trouble, except that she herself still had her feelings for them unresolved. If possible, she hoped that they would work out their emotional problems on their own. If things didn’t work out, he’d come back for a bit later to help, but I thought it would be better for them anyway.

At that time, a woman who was a little further away approached Valdes.

“Sir Valdez… Seems to be friendly with the prince.”

“Ah, Sir Jurina.”

The woman’s true identity is Jurina.

It was a demonic knight whom Valdes kindly revealed his identity and made a hole in the ship.

A man stabbed in the stomach and a woman stabbed in the stomach. However, both of them were smiling on the outside without revealing their true feelings. The reunion itself had already ended yesterday, so Valdes was not surprised. Nope, he wasn’t even surprised when he ran into them again. He already knew about her.

In the first place, it was he who called Jurina to Ulstro Kingdom through Mari.

It was because I thought I would not have enough time to deal with Jurina if I finished things in the remaining two days. A little boredom was also included in the reason. He had to wait for two or three months in the Ulstro Kingdom before taking his next revenge his.

Valdez intended to play with her during that time.

“I will definitely… Reveal your true identity.”

“Well, try it.”

Jurina came closer to him and whispered in his ear her.

Her goal her, along with Princess Marie, was to find clear evidence that could reveal his identity her. Because Valdez thoroughly concealed his identity and was trusted by so many people, the testimony of the two was not enough.

Therefore, Jurina accepted Mari’s suggestion her and decided to follow her to Ulstro Kingdom. As an engineer personally hired by Marie.

“The two of you must have met yesterday, but they seem pretty close.”

When Mercedes looked at the two curiously, Jurina showed a puzzled look.

“Ah, that, that’s…”

“I’m not that friendly. Isn’t Sir Jurina from the Guard in Ventorino? I was talking about the captain of the Guard with whom I fought.”

“Ah, that’s right. There was a connection like that.”

At Valdez’s shameless reference to Jean Haik, the Guardsman who died because of her own death her, Jurina lowered her head slightly and gritted her teeth. I wanted to kill that heinous man right away, but I lacked skills and justification.

Even though Princess Marie was behind her, there was a limit to Valdes’ claim to be the Demon Prince. For once, Princess Mercedes’ eyes were filled with her love for Valdes. Didn’t she talk to her out of jealousy when she got close to Valdez even now?

Now she just had to lean in as far as she could and wait for her chance. She also had to consider her body her. Valdes had already tried to kill himself once, so there was no reason he wouldn’t.

That demon prince does not know that Princess Marie knows his identity his, so without him, his truth his will be buried in darkness. He was full of reasons to take his own life again.

‘I have to find evidence to dig up my identity while protecting my life from the demon prince… The difficulty level is too high. However….’

Jurina thought of Princess Marie, who had saved her, and of her beloved her High her.

Several people then came to her mind her.

Poor Princess Clara who became a slave to that garbage man, Queen Catarina who had a strange look in her eyes her, Prince Alfonso who unknowingly thought of him as a hero, and King Mark whose timing was very questionable.

And countless colleagues and subordinates who died during the demon attack.

Even thinking about all that, I couldn’t fail again.

‘Wait and see, Demon Prince. I will definitely tell you your true face!’

The demons living here made such a promise without knowing that he was being deceived.

In the midst of various circumstances, the delegation left the capital and hurried their steps to their homeland, Ulstro Kingdom.
