Chapter 643 – Ep.641 Tullius Empire
“I will be back.”
After a sweet night with his wives, I left the mansion with Beneo.
Crying-
“L is healthy today as well.”
Widely! Widely!
When I stroked its head, it beat the floor several times with its tail as if it was happy.
“Get on quickly.”
“Yes.”
At Beneo’s yell, I quickly opened the carriage door and climbed in.
The scenery outside the window soon began to move.
Since Bizelin was not accompanying me, I was completely alone, so I comfortably leaned back on a chair and stretched out.
Originally, I had asked Gi-na to accompany me as an escort, but since I didn’t know when Winter would be born, I left Gi-na at her mansion with the request to give Cernax priority over me.
Bizelin and Siron, it’s not that I don’t trust Siran, but what can I say. Even though she’s out of sorts, does she feel safe?
And at my request, Sister left the mansion early in the morning under Nyaho’s escort, and Nemea also left to find Agatha to find the whereabouts of the priest whom Agatha suspected to be Nuit’s spy.
“First… “Give this to that bastard, Roan.”
I almost forgot and fiddled with the casino membership card that Sis had given me.
“I guess I should go to the princess and ask her to increase the number of people on Irina’s side.”
I felt a little sorry when I passed by the face of Irina, who was running around the system like crazy without a day off, trusting only in me.
If I had remembered correctly, it was a problem that could have been solved when I was with Princess Leviel, but the fact that Nyaho had been attacked made me forget about it for a moment.
“And just clean up Rosante and that’s it.”
After a leisurely lunch, I felt better as I thought about visiting Rosante with Adrian. How dare you threaten my lovely wife?
If the crime is proven, I plan to catch him and personally punish him with a night of punishment.
While I was thinking about this and that, the carriage had already arrived in front of the imperial castle.
“I’ll be back.”
“Pick me up.”
“Well, I guess I don’t have to come out for now. If you need to come out, Sith will let you know.”
“I get it.”
I wanted to at least touch her lips with hers, but since there were many eyes on her, I got away from her, put on her hat, and turned her around.
Slam!!
The knights of the Black Mane Order guarding the entrance saluted me with a polite gesture, and I responded with a light wave and entered.
So again today, I head to the Knights’ Building while receiving warm stares.
‘… ?’
I noticed the familiar golden epaulettes loitering at the bottom of the stairs of our building and walked over to her side.
“Lord Melbourne?”
“… Ah, you’re here.”
I was inwardly shocked to see her face becoming so haggard in just one day.
‘Is it at least cursed?’
To exaggerate a bit, the moment I saw the dark circles extending down to my cheekbones, such a thought naturally passed through my head.
“You look very tired… Are you okay?”
“At all… And is this caused by mental fatigue? No… Thank you for your concern…”
He certainly seems to be out of his mind.
“More than that, what’s going on here?”
“… “The Crown Princess told me to bring the Lord.”
I had roughly assumed that would be the case, so it wasn’t that surprising.
“Ha… “I stopped him from going in person for over an hour.”
“Well, um… Sorry… ?”
It wasn’t a surprise, but I felt like I needed to apologize, so I slightly bowed my head towards Lord Melbourne.
“… No. Why does Kyung apologize? “If you came, let’s go.”
“Wait a minute, was there anyone inside?”
“Did you say Roan? “There is a vice-captain.”
“Oh, then I’ll just look at your face for a moment and then come out soon.”
“… Okay. I was a little impatient. “If you have any business to attend to, it’s okay to resolve it and leave.”
“Thank you.”
It was more to deliver something than to see, but there was no need to share such details, so I quickly ran up the stairs and entered the building.
“This guy isn’t even with me anymore.”
I sighed and went upstairs when I saw the empty first floor. Then, I unleashed my spirit and kicked the door to the break room where the guy was.
“… ?!”
The guy who was sitting by the sunny window, looking through some unidentifiable documents, looked back at me with surprised rabbit eyes.
“Ha… You don’t kick in the door. “Captain.”
“What. Now, take it.”
I threw the silver membership card I was holding at him, and he got up and took it.
“What is it?”
Before hearing my answer, Roan lowers his head and opens and checks what he is holding in his hand.
I blinked and looked at the membership card for a few seconds.
Grumble.
The guy suddenly got up from his seat and came towards me with a piece of paper he was looking at. And then, quite naturally, he got down on one knee like a knight.
“The tips of your shoes are a little worn.”
“… ?”
He put his foot on my thigh and showed strange behavior by polishing my shoes very diligently with the papers he was holding in his hand.
“I will instruct you to replace the door with a stronger, lighter material to make it easier to kick in the future.”
“Stop before you get hit.”
“Yes.”
He put my feet back on the floor and stood up.
“I will follow you for the rest of my life. “Captain.”
“It’s noisy. “Have you heard anything from the kids?”
“There were a few reports that there was some commotion in the underworld, but that’s about it.”
“Right.”
Although I didn’t show it, I was quite surprised right now.
‘I don’t know why there’s all this fuss, but doesn’t that mean you’ve found out that something happened?’
“Those who sent news from the underworld should be classified separately.”
“All right.”
I could have asked why, but maybe it was because they gave me a membership.
He was looking up at me with eyes filled with more trust than ever.
“Anyway, I will come because the Crown Princess called me. “When it is time to leave work, please leave work on your own, and if you have any information to share with me, hide it under the desk in my office.”
“Please leave it to me.”
“… Okay.”
He clearly has some ability and has trustworthy eyes, but he is a guy who is difficult to trust, perhaps because he is labeled as a gambling addict.
Anyway, after leaving the work to Roan, I left the building again and quickly ran to Lord Melbourne, who was waiting for me.
“Is it over?”
“Yes. It’s done.”
“Then let’s go.”
“Oh, just a moment.”
“… ?”
I walked in front of Lord Melbourne and placed my hands on her cheeks.
“Nothing, nothing, nothing, what…” … ?”
“Shh. “It is an effective massage in our tribe.”
“Well, Martha… Huh…”
Since there weren’t many people around our building, I looked around carefully and started pressing Lord Melbourne’s cheeks, followed by his earlobes and cheekbones.
“Uh, um, ha… Pfft…”
Lord Melbourne let out a strange moan filled with relief rather than pain, and little by little he accepted my touch.
And so on for a few more minutes.
“How is it?”
“… Joe, you’re feeling a little better.”
“Thank god.”
Although the dark circles were still there, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and she quickly turned around, looking much more lively than before.
“Well, then… “Follow me.”
“Yes.”
I walked quietly behind her.
**
“Here… “Are you there?”
A glossy exterior wall and a gorgeous white door made of crystal.
“Yes.”
Lord Melbourne nodded her head and pushed open the door of the Crystal Palace, which I visited on my first day as leader.
Grumble─
A crystal gate splitting in half with a heavy sound.
“Let’s go in.”
“Oh, yes.”
I walked into the Crystal Palace, where bright lights were leaking out. And as soon as I made eye contact with the Crown Princess who was sitting in an empty seat, a heavy sound was heard from behind again and the door closed.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning to you too, Princess Leviel.”
“Well, please take a seat first.”
“Yes.”
In order to score points here, it would have been better to sit right next to him, but it was somewhat uncomfortable to show such a secret, so I pulled up a chair and sat across from the princess.
“Have you eaten breakfast?”
“Yes. “I have a constitution that requires me to eat breakfast to gain strength.”
“I see.”
Her expression didn’t change much, but I could tell that she was a little sad right now.
“Ah, the reason I called you was to give you a gift.”
“Is it a gift?”
“Okay. “I think it would take some time to research what you like right now, so I tried to prepare something that I think you might like.”
He then put his hand under the chest of his wide uniform, and soon took out a familiar-looking crystal ball and placed it on the table.
‘Communication? Is it a video?’
Close your mouth and quietly look at the crystal ball on the table for a moment.
Wow─
When Princess Reviel’s magical power was injected, blue light began to flow out of the crystal ball, and through that light, I could tell that the crystal ball was a communication crystal ball.
[Chung. ]
“Wake up.”
[ Yes. ]
The neutral voice left for a moment, followed by the sound of water being sprayed.
[Ugh?! Uh, please save me!! Really, that’s all I know!! Please!! Didn’t you promise to save me?! ]
A middle-aged woman’s voice followed, mournful, desperate, and terrified.
[This is the last time. Recite what you know again. ]
[Ugh!! Lo, Rosante Ulnar has proposed a deal to us, me, and another organization we have connections with!! He said that if you cooperate in bringing down the black ship merchants, hey, he will help you do business in Yangji!! Well, we said no!! It’s so salty!! Three days… Oh no! Two days!! Give me two days and I can find out who held on to the rotten line like an asshole!! So, just please save me──]
Tuk.
As the blue light disappeared, the middle-aged woman’s voice also stopped.
Princess Le Viel looked at me intently, tapping the round surface of her crystal ball with her index finger.
“Do you like it?”
