Chapter 149 – 38. Conspiracy (2)
The turmoil came just as quickly as I had predicted.
Just two days after Elaine received the letter.
Bang bang!
“Honorary Viscount after stopping, open this door immediately!”
In the middle of the night, rude knocks and angry shouts made a noise in the house with the lights off.
The current time was 3:00 in the morning.
Bang bang bang!!
“If you don’t open it within one minute, I’ll be willing to open it compulsorily!”
Most people are in a deep sleep at this time. Originally, I would have been sleeping like honey, or I would have been in the middle of overlapping my body with a woman.
But today was different.
I was aware of their surprise visit.
“10! 9! 8! 7… Opened.”
“Who are you?”
A total of seven men and women were standing in front of the entrance, each with a variety of facial expressions.
The first thing that stands out is
“Scott, a barista?”
“It’s ‘Brista’!”
A childhood friend of the same age as Ireina, Elaine’s former owner, the heir to Count Brista, and a guy who covets Ireina with hostility toward me.
I didn’t like his arrogant eyes, so I played with the family name, and a satisfied response burst out.
Beside Scott stood a stout man a head taller than him, arms crossed with a serious face.
Also, behind them were four soldiers who were trying their best to hide their irritation and fatigue caused by the sudden shift at dawn.
A tall woman in uniform at the head of the six above shot me a fierce glance and thrust a certain metal badge right in front of her eyes.
The Imperial flag, and a trapezoid below it with three inverted triangle symbols superimposed within it.
These patterns symbolizing the status system, attributeism, and pure-bloodism, which are the foundations of the current society, respectively, meant the ‘noble house’, the governing body to which all the nobility of the empire belonged.
“I am Viscount Serena Hooks, an inspector of the House of Nobility. From now on, I will search your residence and separate Baron Elaine and maid Ireina from you.”
“What the hell are you talking about?!”
Inspector Serena chewed on my repulsion and squeezed through the front door. Scott, an unknown man, and four soldiers followed her. Their behavior was reckless.
Of course, my strength was sufficient to prevent their invasion. Is it just blocking? They could have been erased from this world without a trace. But I didn’t.
I protested verbally and they ignored it.
Only this fact mattered.
“Ireina! Elaine! I’m here!”
Scott yelled as he trod across the living room. Does he really understand that it is 3 in the morning? It was a nuisance so loud that it could be heard even from the house next door.
“Master Scott…! This way!”
“Elain!”
At that time, Elaine quickly jumped out of the room on the first floor and immediately escorted Scott to the second floor. The place they were heading to was none other than my bedroom. Ireina was there.
Serena, who watched Elaine’s back closely, glared at me from the middle of the living room and opened her mouth.
“To think Sir Elaine, a knight and baron, is wearing a maid’s uniform… Adds credibility to your suspicions.”
“Suspicion? You kept saying things I couldn’t understand from before—”
“After the suspension, honorary Viscount, accusations have been received that you abused your master-servant relationship with the maid Ireina to blackmail and sexually exploit Baron Elaine. I am an inspector dispatched to investigate this closely.”
Hmm, that’s right.
That was a very accurate comment.
“It’s a frame! No, trespassing on someone else’s property at dawn like this without any evidence. What the hell is this case?”
“It is a legitimate execution of official duties to find the evidence.”
There was no question or shame on Serena’s icy face. I could feel the charm of a girl in her cool attitude that her self was only doing things for granted.
Her skin-tight uniform and her proudly folded arms accentuated the fullness of her breasts. Her slender legs combined with a refined atmosphere gave her a model-like impression.
If she approaches her suspect with her sweet eye smile and her shirt unbuttoned… During the investigation, she was a beauty who would have achieved her goal more easily if she had used the beauty world rather than cold and coercive means.
“Ireina! Such crazy! After you stop, you bastard!!”
Serena’s eyes softened even more when she heard Scott’s shout from the second floor.
“…What the hell did you do?”
Serena’s first question. I shrugged her shoulders once and replied deftly.
“I’m not sure why Scott is doing that.”
Shortly thereafter, Elaine, who held Ireina in her arms, and an exasperated Scott came down to the first floor. As soon as Scott made eye contact with me, he jumped at me and grabbed me by the collar.
“You! What did you do to Ireina!!”
Ireina’s white skin, maid uniform, and her red hair were covered in semen. Tears were clearly visible in her unconscious eyes, and her pupils were empty with no focus or emotion.
“What’s wrong with the master ‘using’ a ‘sex slave’?”
Scott’s face contorted at my words, and his grip grew stronger.
Yes.
I wanted to see this expression.
Regret for not being able to prevent the pain and despair of a loved one. Guilty. And in front of the devil’s face full of anger and vengeance toward me,
I quietly smiled.
The intended direction was a great success.
In fact, Ireina’s tears were evidence of joy, and passing out was the result of continuous orgasms.
Unaware of this, Scott pulled his right fist and tried to punch me.
I waited for his advance, but unfortunately, an unknown man next to Serena blocked it.
“Scott. Calm down.”
“Brother! Let go of this! I’m going to kill him!”
The man who blocked Scott’s struggles with one mighty grip gave me a bleak threat, sending me a look full of hatred no different from Scott’s.
“After stopping. I will definitely make you pay the price for causing pain to Ireina. Definitely.”
“Excuse me, but who are you?”
“Diane Joneswalker. Scott and Ireina’s childhood friend.”
Oh, this is Ireina’s only older childhood friend. Heard of her before and knew her name. If Scott was an immature kid, this man was a mature and wise impression.
Even at a glance, his physicality was so rugged that it could be seen that he was an engineer, and his gaze looking down at Ireina was very affectionate.
Really, Ireina is a mask because she is so popular. The flying flies don’t stop and keep twisting.
Of course she is my slave. Only I can violate her. She never allows a speck of dust to anyone.
“For the time being, the Noble House will separate Baron Elaine and her maid, Ireina, from the Honorary Viscount.
That’s why I can’t send Ireina out of my reach.
“What kind of commotion is this? It’s so loud I can’t sleep.”
Just then, a new voice leaked through the gap in the open front door.
He was an old man with gray hair turned all white. Luxurious cloth made us guess his wealth and status. Upon recognizing him, Serena behaved in a polite manner, the exact opposite of how she treated me.
“I am Viscount Serena Hooks, an inspector of the House of Nobility. I am currently performing my duties.”
“This is Count Tyler Patmoon, head of the Academy of Justice and Professor of Law. These days, the House of Lords conducts official duties at 3:00 in the morning?”
“There’s no rule saying you shouldn’t.”
As soon as he realized that the opponent was a lower nobleman, Count Tyler, who switched to short-talking mode, grasped the current situation while arguing with Serena. Scott, Dian, and the soldiers were bewildered by the sudden appearance of the Count.
The conclusion of the Justice Department of the Academy, who heard the whole thing, was concise.
“Such coercive enforcement is a violation of the Academy Charter.”
Then the three intruders frowned almost simultaneously.
“Article 1, the Academy is a place of learning for the Awakened, the Empire, the world, and God. Article 3, the right of academy students to learn shall not be violated. Article 7, The Academy is a place where all factors hinder learning We must protect all students from the dangers, okay? An example of an obstacle to learning is the representative political game of the House of Lords.”
“What do you mean by that! Politics? I’m trying to protect the two women from the risk of sexual exploitation! Also, Honorary Viscount Jeong Ji-hu is an aristocrat and belongs to the House of Nobility!”
“But he’s in an honorary position, and he’s the best student in the academy. So I’ll ask you, student Jihoo Jung. How do you feel right now?”
My answer was fixed.
“I feel very uneasy. I feel threatened that the academy is not a safe space. I want to get out of this unknown situation right now.”
“Then, I, the head of the academy’s legal department, have reason to step forward.”
Count Tyler nodded his head in satisfaction. Inspector Serena pulled out a wad of paper from her bag, probably feeling frustrated.
“This is a copy of the indictment. As Inspector General, I have a duty to investigate the alleged case and protect potential victims. What does the Attorney General think about this?”
“Investigation and protection? Of course you can. However, through the academy.”
His solution was:
Investigations are replaced by a fierce interrogation by the inspector general, with caring questions from the Justice Department of the Academy.
Protection is provided by the academy facilities instead of by the Inspectorate of the House of Lords.
Through this, Ireina and Elaine do not get away from me by receiving the protection of Princess Soniel, the 2nd Princess Soniel, who is actually the academy’s director and my tool.
“If that happens, finding out the truth will be cumbersome and slow…!”
Serena tried to resist in this room, but
“Inspector Serena. Now, as the legal advisor to Her Highness, the 2nd Princess Soniel, I have come to this conclusion. Could it be that the House of Nobility is above the Imperial Family?”
After hearing the Count’s last words, he could not help but be convinced.
“Whoa… I understand.”
* * *
Ireina and Elaine, along with the female guards at the academy, moved to the shelter that Soniel had prepared in advance.
Most things went according to plan.
Two things were unexpected. It was the appearance of Ireina’s childhood friend, Diane, and the outstanding beauty of the inspector of the aristocratic house.
It must have been Viscount Serena Hooks…
Hmm.
Are you a virgin?
I looked up at the moon in the night sky through the living room window.
Count Tyler stood at the end of my shadow cast by the twilight moonlight.
With his hands clasped together and his head bowed.
“Thanks for your work.”
My gaze was still directed to the sky. He didn’t care and lowered his head even more, showing the top of his head.
“Please speak comfortably to the little man, grand duke…”
Grandee.
This was a title that was only allowed for consorts of the imperial family.
“Not yet.”
Earl Tyler was Soniel’s trustworthy limb, so he was very polite to me.
Grand duke
It’s a good sound.
“······.”
What had just happened really stimulated my lust for power.
Surely, if this uproar ends perfectly as planned, I will be able to rise to a higher position.
The enemy’s plot was just beginning.
The next day, his classmate Lee Hyun-woo was charged with theft, and Choi Ji-hoon was accused of sexual assault.
Wisdom received a summons from the temple on charges of ‘blaspheming the dead’.
