Chapter 617 – Chapter 617 Magic School Shutra (4)
As soon as I entered the room, a male voice was caught in my ears.
“I called that bastard for no reason….”
However, the voice wasn’t loud, so it was so low that you couldn’t hear it unless you listened closely.
I approached in a spirit state and listened more carefully.
“How the hell did you find out….”
There was nothing special about what he said as he gnashed his teeth.
It was just to express annoyance and anger about what happened today.
“I called you for nothing. We need to come up with measures….”
I laughed out loud as I watched the guy walk around the room talking about such annoyance and anger.
(Looking at it, it looks like he’s married. He’ll behave well.)
He had no interest in his wife or children.
My interest was only in the Stadtfeld family.
(Oh, now that includes Brandtrup.)
I laughed so hard and said with Dominique muttering in front of me.
(Now, I hope the ritual of possessing is successful…)
I said that and entered Dominique Levin’s body.
“Huh….”
Dominic Levine, who had been muttering with irritation and anger, began to fall silent with his blank eyes.
And not long after….
“Hmm….”
Dominique Levine looked at his hands and muttered, opening and closing them with a smile.
“Great… It is a success.”
The ritual of possessing was a success.
‘Now then, let’s find out everything Dominique has hidden.’
Dominique Levin is a guy who never got caught playing with the food of the king and the second prince for a long time.
He said that he had a thorough personality.
And if he’s that thorough….
‘It means he has the weakness of many people.’
After I sat Dominique Levine’s body on the desk, I slowly began to search his mind.
I was able to realize one fact while searching the other person’s head with the consciousness of possessing for the first time.
‘This… Unlike Chimmong, it’s a bit annoying.’
[Is the method different?]
‘Yes. How to say….’
In the case of Chimmong, it has the function of automatically replaying past events when I create a desired situation after I invade.
But in the case of the possessing ritual….
‘It’s like looking through a book in a library. It’s kind of annoying….’
It was fortunate that the location was easy to find once you found the memory you wanted.
After searching through my memories for a minute, I….
‘Great! Finished.’
[… ?]
Armonia let out a voice as if wondering at my appearance that ended sooner than expected.
[I was surprised to read it faster than I thought.]
‘Ah, it was easier than I thought.’
I chuckled to myself as I looked at Dominique Levine’s bed.
‘I thought they just hid everything in that bed?’
[….]
I didn’t have to look for them individually.
All the ledgers and journals were just hidden under the bed.
First of all, I found physical evidence to capture Dominique Levin.
And….
‘The cook was the one who bought it himself. It didn’t get caught because there was no string connecting it in the middle.’
It was simple that the cook, being tortured now, would not speak of the prince.
‘They were holding on to their weaknesses.’
It was because they were holding hostage the family of the cooks who had been leaded by the king.
But that doesn’t make the chef’s fault go away.
Because the cook was receiving a reward that far surpassed the monetary reward.
First of all, it seemed that the chef would not open his mouth.
If so, the simplest way would be for the king or Alexander Levin to personally search Dominique Levin’s room.
However….
‘It’s not easy to make people search here.’
Even if I told this to Alexander, it wasn’t easy for him to search Dominique’s room.
Rather, there was a high possibility that it would only provoke repulsion.
However, if I were to take it out and hand it over myself, it would take time to determine the authenticity of the books and journals.
In the meantime, you never know what else Dominique Levine will do….
‘A good way… Ah!’
[… ?]
I smiled at Dominique Levin through the mirror.
‘Yes. A sure way to hold onto it….’
I laughed to myself and got out of Dominique Levine’s body and went back to my room.
..
..
The work to be done suddenly increased.
First of all, Karin is the most important.
‘Armonia. Make a letter and send it to Karin.’
[All right.]
Karin was currently affiliated with the ship, although she did not know it.
Making Enello letters and sending them to Karin wasn’t difficult at all.
I could have gone and told them myself, but there was so much work to do right now.
‘Because he’s smart, he’ll understand and act well.’
The content of the letter was about what was going to happen tonight.
It hasn’t happened yet, but if you know about it in advance, you will surely be able to deal with it easily.
‘You may doubt that I sent the letter that popped out of nowhere, but… I can tell them apart well.’
[Although Karin Brandtrup was surprised by her letter, she doesn’t seem suspicious. She started taking action right now.]
‘Also… Do you like it.’
Thinking so, I went to Alexander Levin’s room.
“… Did you find out anything?”
When I visited Alexander Levin, who had just left, I seemed to expect that he must have brought great information.
And I answered as if to repay his expectations.
“Yes.”
“!?”
Alexander Levin showed a reaction that exceeded expectations.
Perhaps it was only natural that he be so surprised.
Until yesterday, he was the number one target to be ousted if the first prince inherited the throne.
Even a reversal is impossible.
It was in such a situation that I appeared.
“Hey, is there anything you want right now? Well, whatever you say….”
He seemed to want to have a person called me rather than the information I brought.
But he had no intention of reciprocating his expectations.
“First of all, we will solve the problem in front of us.”
“Yeah, that’s right! You’re right. Sorry for spoiling your wise move.”
You’re praising me too much….
But it wasn’t burdensome.
I smiled heartily as I smelled the scent of power slowly rising from within.
‘This is power….’
[Put! Ah… Sorry.]
[… Please be careful.]
‘….’
While laughing at me, why apologize to Armonia?
Sarcastic, I instinctively furrowed my brows.
And it was none other than Alexander Levin who was taken aback by my frowning face.
“Sorry, sorry. I couldn’t understand the atmosphere….”
“Ah. It’s not like that. I was thinking. Think.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa….”
Thing… Lungs will come off.
I finished the useless story at this point and started to get to the main point.
“I found the ledger and journal that Dominique Levine hid. But if I bring it myself….”
“It will be meaningless.”
It had only been a few days since I had met Alexander Levin, but I had a rough idea of how competent he was.
‘Tsk tsk… But why can’t I avoid lead poisoning….’
As I watched with pity, Alexander Levin lost himself in thought and began to mutter.
“Searching Dominique-hyung’s room… It’s not easy. I somehow persuaded Your Majesty….”
Well, as Alexander said, if you persuade the king, you will be able to search Dominique Levin’s room somehow.
But then you miss the timing.
No, it could have gone back to nothing.
‘The story has already spread while I’m persuading, so I’ll hide it somewhere else or scrap it.’
But from Alexander’s point of view, there would be no other way.
‘If you wait, it will be less than a year. Hey.’
I smiled at him and opened my mouth.
“There is a reasonable, easy way to get it out.”
“Uh, how!?”
“Right Now….”
I gave him an order like a favor.
And Alexander Levin, who listened to my request….
“Ah, I see. I will prepare it right now. However… Will it really be….”
With a puzzled look on his face, he nodded at my words.
I could guess why he was making a puzzled expression.
When he thought about it, it was because Dominique wasn’t the kind of person who could easily act like I said.
And the fact that I used the expression forced meant that the order I gave was not easy.
“Then be ready in an hour.”
“Ha, is it an hour?”
“What… It didn’t matter if it was late. It’s not me taking a chance. Although it is Prince Alexander.”
When Alexander heard my words, he bit his lip and opened his mouth with a determined expression.
“I will finish the preparations inside.”
“Good.”
After answering that, I left Alexander’s room.
And then go straight to the room and then….
‘Gosh… It’s annoying to come and go. Please, I hope it ends at once.’
I grumbled and used [Ghost Time].
***
Alexander Levin sighed heavily and muttered:
“Whoa… I did as I was told, but….”
He was now in a prison full of musty smell.
He wasn’t even alone.
“Prince Alexander. Why wait in a place like this….”
They were knights under the direct control of the palace.
They were also among the knights that Alexander trusted, who he had culled and brought back.
“I’m sorry for calling you suddenly in the middle of the night.”
“No. It is natural for us to move for the sake of His Majesty’s safety. However… You can’t tell me what awaits you right now….”
“I’m sorry. A little bit… Wait a little bit.”
“… All right.”
The reason they are hiding in prison on Alexander’s orders is because they support him.
And at the same time, they were also candidates to be ousted if Dominic ascended the throne.
The Alexanders were those who could follow any command if they could ascend the throne.
But their facial expressions weren’t all that good.
Knights waiting in a prison full of rats without being told why….
Their expressions couldn’t be better.
Seeing such articles, Alexander began to worry.
‘I can’t tell them that….’
And Alexander Levin’s expression was not good either.
The dungeon, which he had never entered before in his life, was eating away at his mental strength to the extent that Alexander Levin’s weak body rivaled it.
But even so, he waited patiently.
Alexander thought so while he looked toward the prison wall.
‘I didn’t know he wouldn’t open his mouth like that.’
The prison where Alexander and his knights are now was the next room where the cook was kept.
The cook was tortured so much, but in the end he didn’t open his mouth.
And the next day, he was locked up in prison with another promise of torture.
They had been waiting in the next cell before he entered, just in case the cook noticed.
‘Will my older brother really come looking for a cook?’
Seong Soo-ho said clearly.
(The first prince is going to visit the cook at night. At that time, wait in the next room and catch him ifhehears words of treason. And at the same time, search his room.)
Alexander believed only his words and arranged the whole thing like this.
I couldn’t quite understand.
Alexander had seen Dominique by his side all his life.
I couldn’t picture him meeting and conversing with the cook so sloppily.
However….
‘He is the only person I can trust right now. Let’s trust and wait.’
Alexander believed in the holy guardian and decided to hide and wait.
‘When entering the prison, the soldiers were bribed with money, so there is no problem. It’s ridiculous for my brother to embrace people like that.’
It wasn’t even a penny or two.
It was money that the soldiers could not accumulate even if they earned a lifetime.
‘Maybe it’s really my last chance in life.’
As much as that, Alexander judged that the current job was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It was the moment of waiting while smelling the strong smell of knights in a prison where there was no light.
Tuck, tuck, tuck.
“… !”
The sound of footsteps was unusual.
It was a different sound from the sound of the iron boots worn by the soldiers hitting the floor.
It was the sound of leather shoes sweeping across the floor.
The sound got closer and closer….
Tuck, Tuck……….
After the sound stopped right next to me, a silence began to hang over me.
And a voice was heard.
“Hey, Ruben. Are you okay?”
It was Dominique Levine’s voice.
‘You really came!?’
Alexander confirmed the expression of the knights next to him with a surprised expression.
They were like Alexander.
Unlike Alexander’s room, where silence flowed quietly, a voice sounded like metal being caught in the throat from the next door.
“Turn it off… Who, who… ?”
“It’s me.”
“Wow… Prince… ! Please save me.”
The cook, speaking as low as possible, began complaining to the prince.
“Don’t worry. Everything will work out.”
From Dominique Levine’s mouth, who said so, lines containing all the decisive factors behind this situation flowed.
“You must never tell me that it was I who messed with your cooking. Got it?”
