Chapter 684 – Ep.682 Tullius Empire
“Now, wait… !!”
As I approached with my fists clenched, our vice-captain, who had somehow come to work unharmed, hurriedly backed away.
“Just speaking informally for a moment.”
“I will explain everything!!”
Before he could take another step, his knees hit the floor at the speed of light.
“…”
“…”
A guy who puts both hands on his kneeling thighs in an unpleasant way and gives him a longing look.
‘Okay. ‘You shouldn’t start using your fists on a good day.’
I remembered the lovely, cute, angelic face of Winter that I saw in the morning.
‘No, but if this guy was fine, he wouldn’t have had to go to work today, right?’
Instead of subsiding my anger, I wanted to slam my fist into the top of his head even more.
‘Write… Let’s calm down. Let’s think positively. Good. Let’s think that thanks to this, we can get off work faster.’
After a conflict with myself, I opened my fists and turned my back.
“Let’s go up to the office.”
“… Yes!!”
Lived! I shook my head at the boy’s shout, full of joy.
**
“Leader… Town?!”
“Shh.”
When I opened the door to the office, the first thing that caught my eye was the image of Sis sleeping face down on the desk, just as he was sitting in my chair.
“Wait a moment.”
“…”
I removed my hand from the mouth of the guy who nodded and quietly went inside, took off the coat I was wearing and placed it on the sleeping Sis’ shoulder.
‘No, I heard dolls don’t sleep…’
I felt sorry for everyone who saw her sleeping, so I neatly arranged Sis’s flowing hair and left the office.
“Let’s go down.”
“Yep…”
He looked at me like I was looking at someone strange, but maybe because his head was about to break a little while ago, he didn’t complain and took the lead in leading me to the break room.
“So.”
Roan and I each brought our own chairs and sat down in a sunny spot.
“What happened?”
“First of all, you won’t be angry after hearing the story… No, please promise me that you will leave me with one arm and one leg intact.”
One arm and one leg.
When I heard that, surprisingly, the reason why he asked me to leave at least one arm and one leg came to mind.
“You crazy gambling addict.”
“Hmm…”
As if my guess was proven true.
The guy quickly cleared his throat and avoided my gaze.
‘This is madness. What else is madness?’
I leaned back in my chair with a slightly bored expression.
“I understand, so please explain.”
“Yes… But actually, there’s nothing special.”
That’s how the vice-captain’s turbulent escape story begins.
“I lost consciousness in the carriage and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a room with a lot of magic circles drawn in red, probably blood.”
If it was a magic circle drawn in blood, it was definitely Nuit.
“And it looked like there were several women wearing dark robes surrounding me. “I knew she was a woman when I heard her voice.”
“There was no man?”
“I don’t know about that. “There were quite a few of them, and they were wearing robes, so it was hard to tell who was speaking.”
“Continue.”
When he nodded, Roan cleared his throat and continued talking.
“Well, they said various things, but the conclusion is that the target they were originally aiming for was not me, but the leader.”
“I guess that’s right.”
“Maybe that’s why the atmosphere was so scary. “He pointed a sharp-looking dagger at my neck and threatened me with a terrible hell if I didn’t answer his questions.”
“Okay… ?”
“Yes.”
The Nuit Church was a cult, and unlike the relatively mild-mannered Petrmira, it was a group of truly evil people who did not hesitate to commit murder, so the threats that Roan received were not very strange.
‘The problem is that they must have been mentally brainwashed, so they went out of their way to threaten me…’
Or maybe there was no one there who could use the brainwashing ability.
“So?”
“This is the main point, but first he asked about things related to Roshanthe Ulnar. Did the leader take the lead in that matter, or did anyone help him? … “I asked things like this.”
“And you answered everything honestly?”
“… Yes.”
The guy quickly lowered his eyes.
‘Well, I roughly expected it since I was fine.’
Besides, it wasn’t something to be particularly angry about.
The more I learn about the relationships around me, the more difficult it will be for me to do anything.
“How much did I say?”
“The leader took the lead, and the Crown Princess even revealed that she helped.”
“It sounds like you told me everything you knew.”
“That’s right.”
“Well, good job.”
Anyway, the most important thing about Gilena was that we talked about it after Roan was sent away, so there was really no problem no matter what he said.
Because the news that Leviel fell in love with me at first sight had already spread throughout the island a long time ago.
“Is that the end?”
“Who are the people in the imperial castle who are close friends with you, and why did the night yoreum not appear? … “I asked how much.”
“So did you blow all the cool air?”
“Yes…”
Is this the real deal? I looked at the guy with that face and put my hand on the armrest of the chair and rested his chin.
“But it looks like he somehow believed you?”
“…”
But suddenly the guy rolled his eyes and avoided my gaze.
“Roan.”
“Yes?”
I smiled and slightly raised my fist.
“…”
Our vice-captain silently rubbed his face with his hand.
“It turned out that what I said was true due to a revision of the truth or something…”
“But?”
“They said they couldn’t let me go like this, so I guess it’s the Mother of Night or something…” … Anyway, since they are talking among themselves about the need to instill faith in them…”
“To make noise?”
“… “I swore at the leader!!”
I felt it a little while ago, but it seems our vice-captain is suited to kneeling. How is it possible to kneel so naturally and fluidly?
“Did you curse at me?”
“I had no choice but to survive!!”
The guy who had his head down looked up at me with wide eyes.
“Well, what did you say?”
“He passes all work on to me, meddles with me ruthlessly, and hitting me on the head or kicking my shins whenever he gets the chance isn’t enough, so even when I give him sincere advice, he pretends not to listen…”
I couldn’t bear to say anything to Roan when I realized that it was a fact without a single lie.
“… So?”
“They said my malice was so great that they would let me go and asked me to act as an informant.”
“Did you accept that?”
“… Yes.”
If the situation had been a little lighter, I would have just grabbed his head, but since it was entirely my fault that he was kidnapped, I could only nod.
“… Good job. And I’m glad you’re safe, and you’re saying that I was able to get some information, right?”
“I don’t know where I was kidnapped. Even when I let them out, they let me out blindfolded. Instead, we decided to meet at my mansion a week later.”
“One week?”
“Yes. “If you prepare well, I think you can make a big deal out of it.”
No matter how you think about it, this guy seems like a really capable guy, except for the fact that he is addicted to gambling.
【Employee Seo Min-su.】
‘Uh? ‘Are you awake?’
While talking to him, the Sith’s clear tone resonated in his head, clearing his mind.
【Please bring your adjutant up to the office.】
‘Ok? ‘Oh, yeah.’
I don’t know why they asked us to bring our vice-captain, but Sith’s words were absolute, so I stood up.
“Good job. “Let’s go up first.”
“… Are you trying to get me to work already?”
“Be loud and come up, dude.”
“… “Yes.”
The last time I was thankful for not breaking my head, I was already complaining.
No matter how much I think about it, I think I’ll have to do a wooden sword massage again soon.
Sweet.
When I opened the office door and went inside, Sis, who had my coat draped over his shoulder, was standing right next to the door, holding a large piece of china with both hands that I didn’t know where he got it from.
‘… ?’
I don’t know what I was trying to do, but Roan was standing right behind me, so I continued walking into the office, and at the very moment Roan followed me inside.
Paang──!!
“… ?”
Sith slammed the porcelain he was holding with both hands onto the back of Roan’s head.
Of course, I was completely broken.
Flinch, flinch…
Roan’s head also appeared to be broken.
“Sis?”
“It’s contaminated.”
“… Pollution?”
Sis yawned cutely without answering, then flopped down on the chair in front of my desk again as if nothing had happened.
‘Contaminated?’
I didn’t feel anything special, but the Sith couldn’t have said something like that for no reason, so I pointed a pillar of fire at Roan’s head, who was mouthing foam and rolling his eyes.
‘… !!’
And just as Sith said, they were able to find a piece of Nuit’s divinity deep inside the guy’s head.
Although it was hidden, it was literally just a fragment, so I easily absorbed it and extinguished the pillar of fire.
“Hey you bastard.”
Somehow, for someone who was kidnapped, he was released unscathed.
I was about to feed another potato to the passed out guy’s head, but I just got up and walked away.
“But you could have just told me. “Why did you hit your head with a porcelain knife?”
“It’s a purification ritual.”
“… ?”
“It’s a purification ritual.”
Sith spoke twice.
“It was a purification ritual.”
“It was a purification ritual.”
I had to seriously think about whether I had done anything wrong.
