Chapter 76 – Conflict (2)
76
Inut drank the water and calmed down his breathing. Even if he was Carl Leben, he never expected that he would find out so quickly that he had betrayed him. No, even if he found out, he never thought that he would be able to sneak into the imperial palace so easily. I was out of breath.
Aside from the initial irritation, Carl had a relaxed attitude throughout. He was smiling, and he didn’t even try to disarm Inute. He was giving this nut plenty of time to think. His trembling stomach slowly calmed down. Carl Leben seemed to want to hear the story.
“Why did you do that?”
“I felt that the power of the emperor was greater at this time.”
“You have good judgment, but you don’t have loyalty. What did the emperor say he would do for you?”
He said, “I will give you the position. A decent managerial position. Marquis Leben, I also wanted to retire from the dangerous world and live a stable life. That’s all. I never had any intention of betraying Reven-sama.”
“What are you talking about? I have already betrayed you.”
“… “
Since then, Carl has asked a few more of his questions. It was mainly about what they knew about the emperor. Are there other traitors besides you, is there a way to contact the emperor, and who did you get the promise from? Inut answered while swallowing saliva. Killing spirits were pouring out from the back of the knife, as if the throat would drop at any moment.
Osot. A killer who killed over 200 people in one night. I had heard rumors that I had become his servant after being favored by Carl, but seeing it in person, the creepiness was extraordinary.
Inut spoke only the truth. Carl asked a question with a mixture of facts he already knew, but he answered with exactly the same face he used to answer other questions. As long as he’s caught by a knife, he doesn’t bother to lie. Inut’s head turned that much.
“The Aken family is on the side of the emperor?”
“It’s a family that has maintained neutrality, but that’s probably because it’s a story about a civil war, not a story about clearing out criminals.”
“I didn’t even ask that far. Okay, so I started flirting with the neutrals. It looks like you really intend to do it.”
“Perhaps the Emperor is predicting that he will win.”
“Like you did?”
“Yes. He is the emperor.”
A moment of silence passes. Inut realized that the end was near. “I liked that you were competent.” Carl’s expression was not good. At that, this Nut did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“I have always lived a life of insecurity.”
Carl clicked his tongue. He asked if there were any last words he wanted to say, and Inute talked about saving his family. Perhaps the reason why Nut betrayed him was because of his family. He remembers being told that the brewer’s wife had given birth.
“Come to think of it, I even gave you a reward to take care of yourself.”
Carl and Ossot left the same way they came. This nut lay face down where he had been sitting with his face turned white.
“Find a new funding line, Osot.”
“If we go behind the scenes, it won’t come out on the same scale as the brewery.”
“Just openly sell it. Because raising money is important. Either gambling or drugs.”
Carl didn’t care about Inut anymore. After sobbing once, Inut accepted and ate the potion Carl gave him, and his death was confirmed.
It was three days later that the explosion occurred inside the imperial palace.

A bit late in the evening. The ticking of the clock before the conversation is annoying. Sofia asked Arya to put her watch away.
“Can you make me look pretty?”
Arya said she would call in a maid who could do her makeup. Sophia shook her head. No makeup required. Just make it pretty Arya thought hard, then pulled out a neat outfit from her closet and put it on. She is wearing a sleeveless shirt and black shorts. She then put on the sapphire necklace Carl had bought for her, and then she showed Sophia her mirror. She nodded and brushed her hair slowly.
Sophia’s face erased first the traces of her tears, then her expression. Her straight back, her cold eyes, and her neatly combed hair were left to adorn her Sophia’s beauty. If Sofia’s usual impression was cozy and lively between spring and summer, she now had the impression of frost on her window sill when she woke up.
Carl arrived home more than an hour after Sophia’s dressing up.
“Knife. Come and sit down.”
*
Sophia sat in the same position for an hour. As her knife approached and she sat down, Sophia spoke to her in a calm, subdued voice. “I heard something from Lloyd,” She said. She swears an oath to the goddess.” Carl’s lips were soft, but he didn’t make any excuses. First of all, it seems to be trying to listen to Sophia.
“I hope not, but I believe in Carl, but I still can’t help but ask. Please understand, Carl.”
Sophia took a long pause. Carl noticed that the words she was about to jump out of Sophia’s mouth were nonsensical. The situation is not good. There are things to take care of on the outside, but it seems like things are happening on the inside as well. My back hurt.
“I want Carl to deny me. Really. Please.”
Sophia smiles weakly, she says.
“Is it true that you let the demons cut off my arms and legs?”
*
Tell me no tell me it’s not true Only then will I trust you again, and despise myself for doubting you for a moment. I won’t resent you no matter how harsh you act during sex. Because I doubted the knife. It was me who stabbed the knife because I didn’t trust the knife even though I received the favor of the knife.
You can hit me while getting angry. If I’m not loved anymore, that would be a bit sad, but I can bear with the fact that Carl didn’t do anything wrong to me. I’m crazy Carl, I’m going crazy with anxiety. Every time I assume it’s one in a million, I end up getting sick.
If you were watching me without intentionally saving me, what should I do?
So please tell me no Tell me Lloyd lied. I was watching the demon lord at that time, not knowing how easy it would be to assassinate. I was looking for an opportunity. Tell me that It’s okay if I end up being a bad bitch who doesn’t know anything and only trusts other people’s words and doubts you. Because then it will be Please, knife, knife. Please don’t betray me Please don’t deceive me. Please don’t mock me
“Sophia, that’s… “
“Ah?”
The beginning of the words is strange. You just have to say no. What’s the matter? It’s unpleasant. What is the reason and purpose of lengthening the words? Say no. Say no. I have to say no. Why, why Don’t avert your gaze.
“Look straight into my eyes!”
The shouting in a clear voice was even pathetic at first glance. Sophia’s eyes were red. Carl looked slowly into Sophia’s eyes. Carl’s face was reflected in the golden pupils that shone brightly even while the blood vessels were protruding. Sophia’s facial muscles twitched. Blood is visible from the bitten lips.
“Answer me, answer me Carl.”
“What was the question? I can’t remember.”
“Did you deliberately leave me unsaved? So that I have my arms and legs cut off by the hands of my enemies?”
“There must be something that needs to be corrected.”
It’s an unexpected situation. The feeling of uneasiness was evident in Sophia’s voice. It wasn’t yet time for her to tell her truth, and she feels like she does. Still, she did not tell her lies in front of Sophia. It is not because she is afraid of the gaze of the goddess who reveals her lies. There were plenty of ways to fool Sophia simply by hiding her truth.
However, this one seemed more interesting. Carl smiled slightly.
“Right? After all, Carl couldn’t have done that. Is that so? Lloyd this bad guy… Trying to put a difference between me and the knife. Is that so?”
“No, Sophia. That’s not what needs to be corrected. You said correction.”
“What are you talking about, Carl? So you’re saying Lloyd was right?”
“Listen, Sophia. Don’t be too shocked or shocked. It might be shocking, but well, what can I do?”
“Why is that, Carl? Awfully. I’m so scared. Horrible thoughts are running through my head right now. Don’t talk, don’t talk! Don’t tell me!”
“Listen, Sophia.”
“Don’t, I’m sorry, don’t! Don’t do it!”
The knife gently gripped Sofia’s shoulders as she slowly drenched in fear. She kissed her forehead. “Our lovely saintess.” He hugged her scared as if to comfort her. She slowly brushed her back.
“You must have been very surprised.”
Sophia’s body, which was full of tension, limp. That’s right, it wasn’t either. Carl’s mouth hadn’t answered yet, but Sophia acted as if she had already heard.
“You’re surprised, I really… “
Sophia drips her tears. The arms of her sword were warm.
Her soft hands caress her ass as if to soothe her. Her lips pressed against each other, and she was laid on her bed.
Sophia’s pussy and her Karl’s erect cock rub against and rub against her clothes. What I feel after extreme fear is a greater love than before. Sophia brings out her apologies. “I’m sorry for doubting you, Carl. I was a bad person. Please don’t hate me too much, women do that sometimes. I don’t even know English.”
Carl bit the earlobe of Sophia, who was sobbing and apologizing, and answered.
“That’s right. I didn’t let you have your arms and legs cut off. Sophia.”
A smile spreads across Sophia’s face. It’s a relief. At this moment, Sophia felt happy.
And the next moment, Sophia’s expression contorted in an instant.
“I asked the demon to cut off your limbs.”
