Chapter 457 – 16. Leriel, the Last Survivor of the Black Moon Clan Who Inherited Her Husband’s Legacy.
Moss.
Footprints.
Scratch marks on the wall.
Numerous clues indicated that this was the place Leriel had passed by dozens of times.
Leriel, ignoring the solid truth, circled around her several times and followed her trail, but the more she did, the more the doubts in her head faded.
“What the hell… “
It is not a trick of Cassano and Medea.
So then there were no business partners as they explained? That wasn’t it again.
Lerri returned to the original spot, running her hands across the mossy wall.
“Haha.”
Cassano rubs the wizard’s shoulder behind the iron bars and lets out a bright smile.
Leriel, struck by her obnoxious appearance, slammed her wall with her fist and closed her eyes tightly, suppressing her whining in pain.
‘There’s no trace? A space like that has disappeared? Is a person as good as a great wizard lying?’
Looking at his proud face, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
Even now, she was glaring at Leriel with her clumsy face, who did not believe her self-explanation.
‘Could something like this be done with the artifact the crown prince has? If it had that much power, there would be at least one, but… ‘
While she was racking her brain to figure out the cause of this situation, a figure flashed across Leriel’s memory.
Just once, when confronting the crown prince, a person was hiding behind a knight wearing black armor.
I couldn’t see her face because she was wearing a robe, but I was convinced that the prince’s rumors were true due to the ominous aura emanating from her entire body.
The crown prince colluded with a group of pagans who worshiped the devil.
I thought it was just a rumor, but a person who radiates unclean energy with his whole body can’t be an ordinary person.
‘If you are a pagan… ‘
Leriel’s conclusion was that something that goes beyond human principles could be easily committed, and that something on this scale would be possible if it were the culture of the demon race, which was the height of uncleanness.
‘If I say this… ‘
When her eyes met Cassano’s lips, Leriel inadvertently closed her mouth.
If the crown prince had done a trick, this place wasn’t safe either. It was obvious that running his mouth carelessly in this place where he might have taken out some kind of insurance would have been in vain, so Leriel pushed the wall herself and returned to Cassano.
“… There is nothing more to say here. Let’s go back.”
“What kind of Leriel’s house is that? “If you want to go back, say yes and go back.”
Cassano was shaking, but Medea, who was standing next to her, seemed to think differently, so she quickly snatched up her staff and lightly tapped it on the floor.
-Wow!
Mana appears and a halo of light swirls around.
The scenery changed before she could prepare, and Leriel, who returned to the dark prison, stepped on a puddle of water she had spilled and blushed.
“Oh my.”
Medea covered her nose and mouth with her hands and gasped at the blatant traces and the lewd smell that still hung thick even when the air circulated! She whacked Cassano’s leg with the tip of her cane.
‘It looks like you have quite a bit of strength left.’
How did they handle it so that the once clean prison became such a mess?
Medea naturally imagined the sight of the discolored bricks, the muggy air that filled the prison, and the sight of Leriel and Cassano mixing themselves. She felt like she was going to lose her mind after being here, so she swung her staff once again and appeared in an instant.
Was hidden.
“Why are you so nervous?”
When we’re alone together, she acts like a cat that needs her touch, and sometimes she gets annoyed by flailing her hands and feet in a pouting manner. Cassano, who thought that it was difficult to understand what a woman was, shrugged her shoulders and approached the frozen Leriel, taking off her robe in one go.
“Sleep, let go!”
She held onto Rob and refused like a fussing baby, but with her reduced physical ability, she was unable to resist Cassano.
In an instant, Leriel lost her robe and, once she was naked, covered her private parts with both arms and stopped Cassano.
“Wait a minute, I have something to say.”
‘It is still too early to talk about the crown prince.’
“What should I say?”
Cassano’s face shamelessly looked as if he had something to say, and Leriel recited to Cassano his thoughts, omitting the crown prince’s name.
“… That place actually existed. “He had a subordinate who could have done something like this.”
“What, you’re saying that now?”
Are you making it up? Cassano chuckles.
She had nothing to say since it was Leriel who hid her information, but she also felt very wronged. If she hadn’t made a bet like this in the first place, she would have solved the information step by step!
In order not to defile her, she hid the information and provided it to her one by one, which was coming back to her as her shackles.
The situation was not fair to Leriel from the beginning, so she calmed down her rising anger and continued with her explanation.
“Anyway, it’s my guess, but he must be deleting information connected to me one by one.”
“Hmm.”
Although it was not an attitude that an interrogator would have, Leriel felt the air getting colder and continued her explanation faithfully.
“… Write it down now, it is information related to him. If you want, you can cross-check with the captured members… “
“You sound just like my boss. Can’t you understand the topic?”
“Doesn’t your boss want information? Even though information is provided, such an attitude… “
“No, I’m confused. “It’s not like we’re just playing here either – you know Regina, right?”
“Regina.”
I heard that the pirate who was quite infamous in Wedgetooth Port recently moved to his base and started collecting the heads of smugglers.
Reliel naturally wrinkled her face when she remembered how she whined all day when she held hands with Remia.
She was also close to her crown prince, and it was obvious that her group of pagans had dealings with her.
‘There can’t be another heretic like that. If this guy has anything to do with Regina, does that mean you’ve found out the whole story?”
“Let’s just throw it away, we need to check the facts.”
“… There’s someone you need to find first, and among the inns in the capital… “
Leriel gave me step by step information related to the crown prince.
Cassano, who wrote down the notes carefully, fastened the shackles on Leriel’s ankles and suddenly disappeared, saying he would check and come back, but he returned less than an hour later.
He returned with a smile full of refreshment and laughed, shaking away the piles of paper.
“Oh, this is a bit surprising?”
“What do you mean?”
“The person in charge of the mediation has disappeared, the buildings designated as the counter have burned down, been evacuated, and relocated, but the place where they were relocated is an empty plain. Even though it was so suspicious, it didn’t create any buzz.”
“What?”
“The empire has not conducted a separate investigation and the higher-ups have remained silent. Even my boss says this is the first time he has heard of something like this?”
Medea helped me out a bit. She added, and the man rolled up a wad of paper, put it in his arms, and cheered the mood with applause.
“I’m roughly confused… “I can slowly squeeze out the rest from Leriel, so let’s get punished first, shall we?”
“Wait a minute, is that the end? It’s not over yet – at least explain it in a way that makes sense… “
“They say it’s not worth probing further unless it’s clear information.”
Breaking into a beehive is something you have to be prepared for, right?
With a thud, Cassano closed the iron bars, unpacked his luggage, and began to prepare something. Seeing such a natural appearance, Leriel shook her shoulders in shock and began to fantasize about the relationship between Cassano and the crown prince.
‘Have we already contacted you? Royman is organizing the information and leaving me alone on purpose? ‘Do I have to tell you everything now?’
After going through her troubles and organizing her thoughts, Leriel finally decided to confront her head on and asked Cassano.
“… Did you get everything delivered to you? You want that petty bastard to leave me alone? Are you planning to slowly bleed to death?”
“No? “It’s not like it’s some kind of delusion, I’ve explained it to you several times that I’ve lost my mind.”
Sarak, Cassano took out a bundle of black cloth from the bag he had brought with him.
Cassano quietly hugged her as if it were a precious treasure and continued talking.
“I have never been contacted by the guy you are talking about – and I have no intention of siding with him. Because all I want to do is have Leriel.”
“Shut up.”
“… Well, I’m on the prince’s side. I’m not someone’s helper – who would give me this freedom in the first place? “If you were under other members of the royal family, you would have been taken away.”
Cassano shrugged, saying, “The prince has a really wide distribution.” Reliel, who was shocked by the word “Royal family,” Wondered if Cassano knew everything and pretended not to know, but when she looked at her face, it seemed like she really didn’t know the identity of the crown prince.
‘Everything has gone awry.’
Now all that’s left is about the crown prince, but if I tell you everything, I’ll be reduced to being the author’s slave.
If you don’t have any cards, there’s no reason to treat them.
If you have saved her life, you can meet Haren. Even if this man blocks it, Haren will come to save him.
With her hopes up, Leriel relaxed her shoulders and prepared herself to accept.
That’s a bet, I’ll hold on to it again and again.
‘I will accept it again and again.’
Groundless courage rises as the crown prince realizes that he is the last bastion.
“I didn’t know you would bring this up already… Even though I got something, it’s a rule, right? If it turns out to be false, there will be a big punishment.”
“Say whatever you want.”
“… It is difficult to overcome the crime of deception. “If we put a stigma on them, so they can never do something like that again, it’ll be a lesson every time we see it, right?”
“What on earth have you prepared that you’re talking about so much…” “
-Sarak
The cloth is peeled off and the black cloth covering the object falls to the floor.
What was revealed was a small container. Cassano opened the container with a familiar movement of his hands, took out the item he had carefully prepared and held it out in front of Leriel as if showing off.
There was a tool with a sharp needle at the end, and underneath, wrapped in luxurious wrapping paper, were two small piercings with red jewels.
A design that only vulgar dancers would love.
When Lariel came across an object that was no different from the ones worn by dancers wearing translucent cloth when she visited the Desert Kingdom, her body suddenly stiffened.
As soon as Cassano saw the items he had prepared, the first thing that came to mind was none other than his own mother.
She climbed on top of the former emperor, Heidenrich II, dressed as a dancer, wore piercings prepared by the emperor, and performed a vulgar dance, winning the emperor’s favor.
Do you want me to follow the same steps as that woman?
Leriel, terrified, unconsciously swung her hand and struck the back of Cassano’s hand, causing the two small piercings to tumble across the floor.
“This is quite expensive, but I don’t have good hand habits.”
Whoa, whoa, Cassano picked up the piercing and, with an exaggerated laugh, blew off her piercing and peeled off her wrapping paper.
A silver piercing that sparkles in a small light.
Leriel was frightened by that appearance – Cassano laughed and waved his piercing, jingling, jingling, showing off the jewel at the end.
“I wanted to leave at least one proof that I was taming it. “Her husband will be shocked when he sees it, but what’s the point of preserving her virginity?”
