128. Reckless Plan
“Duke, are you in your right mind now?”
What Cale was thinking without realizing it came out of her mouth. It made so much sense.
“I am also opposed to fighting a transcendent wizard. “Because you have to risk your life.”
Even Radea, who always obeyed and did not raise any objections, reacted negatively.
“My mission is to guard the duke. Of course, it’s something you risk your life for, but it’s different for a transcendent wizard. “Not only am I going to die, but the duke is also in danger.”
Radea met France’s gaze with her straight eyes.
“And I am Laia’s older sister and protector. She needs to take responsibility and raise that child. “I hope you reconsider that decision.”
No matter how high-level sword masters like Kale and Ladea are, it is impossible to fight against a transcendent wizard who is on the same level as Jin.
“I think it’s because the duke doesn’t know much about transcendent wizards, so I’ll explain it myself.”
Cale tilted her head and looked at France.
“The Transcendent Wizard is a transcendental person of the same rank as Jean Barenberg. Erasing a country is not a task. “It’s more like a monster that has lived there for hundreds of years.”
That wizard is a wizard who has existed for hundreds of years and transcends time. It is no exaggeration to say that he lives eternal life.
“No matter how much Kazar rose to the same rank as a transcendent magician, the difference that comes from the years he has lived is clear. “I can say that even if Lathea and I help, we have absolutely no chance of winning.”
The literal translation is that it is an act of suicide.
“Okay, I understand. “Kale and Radea are completely against it, right?”
Kale and Radea nod their heads and answer.
“That’s right.”
“Yes.”
France slowly lowered her head and she grinned.
“Then we will have no choice but to revolt and take over the empire. “That would make it more likely that the transcendent wizard would cooperate.”
Everyone’s eyes widened. This time, Kazar could not avoid embarrassment.
“Ba, ba, ba, rebellion?”
“… “Are you sincere?”
“Duke, what is that…?” !”
A pitch black sphere was created on France’s palm. Magical power swirled, shadows spread, and the demon covered in darkness awoke.
“I recovered thousands of demonic beasts from the waves of disaster. “At this level, a rebellion is quite possible.”
France continues speaking with a solemn face.
“There’s nothing we can do if you don’t cooperate. “I will revolt against the Empire.”
What the Fedelian Lions look at is treason, not rebellion.
If you fail, you will not be able to avoid the death penalty.
“You don’t know? If you fail and are sentenced to death, Jin might come to your rescue. “I guess this wouldn’t be bad either.”
Kazar, Kale, and Radea looked at each other and exchanged glances. Everyone thinks the same. Those are not empty words.
“Is it really going to come out like that?”
Cale continues talking while stroking his hair.
“I received a favor from Jin, and I stayed because I was loyal, not because I was a loyal subject. “I wish you would stop doing such reckless things.”
Ladea said.
“I don’t know if I can say this because I am in a position where I am indebted to the Duke. “Please judge more calmly.”
Kazar also added.
“Duke, your fever is so high right now. First, calm down and think slowly…….”
Everyone spoke together to persuade France.
“Really? I can’t help it. Anyone who opposes should leave. “I’ll do it on my own.”
The attempt was in vain. France had no intention of backing down.
“You guys already fooled me once in the first place. “I should have helped Jin talk to me before he left.”
France looked around at everyone with cold eyes and continued speaking.
“There’s no need for you, so get out. Kale, radea, kazar. “I’m grateful so far.”
Poof. France turned his back and left his office. The remaining people all held their foreheads and lowered their heads.
“What should I do? The duke is very adamant. “If things continue like this, something really big might happen.”
Ladea’s voice was trembling.
“I don’t know this time. I never thought I would go crazy like that. “You’re in trouble.”
Cale shook her head.
“I will try to explain it well, so please wait. “Right now, the Duke is unable to make sound decisions.”
Kazar got up from his seat and followed France. Kale and Radea remained in their seats and pressed their temples.
“No matter what choice you make, the result is the same.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s literally true.”
Huh, Cale took a deep breath and continued her words.
“If the Duke dies while doing something reckless, Jin will come back and destroy the empire.”
Ladea’s eyes widened.
“Well, then what should I do…” ?”
“What can I do? I have to desperately try to stop him here.”
Based on what we’ve seen of Jin’s personality so far, he won’t take out his anger on Kale, Kazar, and Lathea. However, the problem is that the target is the entire empire.
“If that happens, there will be great chaos on the continent. The order that the empire has maintained will collapse and other countries will try to take over this land. “A ceaseless war will begin.”
Ladea’s mouth dropped open. Because it was a bigger deal than she thought.
“… “I have to convince him somehow.”
“That’s right. “Think about what you want to say, too.”

Knock knock. Kazar cautiously knocked on France’s bedroom door.
“Duke, this is Khazar. May I come in?”
There is no answer. Kazar opened the door and entered without asking permission. France was quietly looking out her window at her table.
“It’s an important story. “Will you listen?”
“… ….”
France still has no answer. Kazar thought he had agreed and sat in the front seat.
“Duke. First, let me tell you my opinion. “I am opposed to fighting against transcendental wizards and rebelling against them.”
France frowned and glared at Kazar.
“If you didn’t want to agree with me, I would have told you to leave.”
“Please listen to me until the end. “You want to meet Mr. Jin.”
France immediately calmed down when Jin’s story was brought up. We should have had this conversation a long time ago.
“The reason I am opposed is because Mr. Jin does not want the duke to be in danger. “That person said he would take good care of the Duke.”
Kazar continued speaking.
“What the Duke said earlier was all the worst case scenario, right? “Now that we finally have hope, let’s think more optimistically.”
Kazar smiles and holds France’s hand.
“We are sorry that we deceived the Duke. But please trust me now. “I will help you meet Jin somehow.”
France purses his lips and reluctantly nods his head. It seems that Kazar’s persuasion worked.
“So let’s not think about the worst case now and decide what to say to Jin when we meet again.”
France’s eyes wavered.
“I’m so, so scared… ….”
Finally, France lowers his head, covering his face with both hands.
“I am afraid that even if I try to be strong-minded, I will fail. I’m anxious that my actions will be meaningless, and I’m scared that I won’t be able to meet Jin…….”
Kazar patted France on the back with a pitiful face. I thought I found my will again when I was told to find Jin, but I was just acting like I was okay.
France is currently extremely stressed and his mind is unstable. This is a more important time than ever.
“It’s okay. “Everything will work out well.”
Has he been relieved by Kazar’s comfort? France began to cry incessantly. There was sadness in her tears, and longing in her voice.
‘How sick is my boss?’
She is not interested in relationships between men and women, and even though she has never experienced love, her boss knows. She said that some people die from lovesickness.
‘Anyway, just try to see that person again.’
Ka-Zar, who had planned to kick Jin in the shins about twenty times when she saw him again, changed her mind. That is not enough. Kick her until she breaks.
‘But, well, that person is probably the same now.’
It is a farewell between a man and a woman who were special. The woman is suffering so much, but it must be even worse for the person who had to hurt her.
‘It’s complicated, indeed.’
I suddenly became curious about how Jin was doing. If she were that person, there would be nothing she couldn’t do.
‘Just hope she’s doing well.’
France is suffering and struggling like this, but if she is eating well and living alone, I think her blood will boil.
After patting for a while, France stopped crying.
“Did you all cry?”
“Yes… ….”
“Sometimes it’s okay to cry like this.”
Ka-Jar held her Franze to her chest and stroked her head.
“If she wants to cry, she can cry anytime. “That will relieve her deep-seated emotions.”
France sniffles and wipes her eyes with her handkerchief. She cried so bitterly that her eyes were swollen.
“I’ll talk to Helena and get her ice. Please wait a moment.”
France said, “Yes….” She nodded. After waiting a moment, Ka-Zar brought her ice rolled in a towel.
“Wow, look at your swollen eyes.”
Kajar feels sad again as he pats the area around his eyes with a cold towel. I wanted to sigh right now, but I swallowed it down with difficulty.
“Duke, look at me.”
“Yes… ….”
“You want to meet Mr. Jin, right?”
“Yes… ….”
“You must be strong-hearted.”
France just nods and gives the same answer. Kazar showed a faint smile and rubbed France’s shoulder.
“Just trust me. I’ll find a way somehow. And, we will somehow get the cooperation of the Transcendent Wizard.”
It’s reckless and unlikely, but you won’t know unless you try. Now I have no choice but to look ahead and run.
“Can you cheer up now? “Let’s move forward slowly, one step at a time.”
“That should be it…. We need to find Jin’s location first. “I studied soul binding and met transcendent wizards.”
France nodded his head and took a deep breath. The oxygen that entered her esophagus burned like a hot flame, warming her cold heart.
Even though it was just a simple breath, France decided to use it as evidence of her resolve.
“Thank you, it’s okay now. Let’s go out.”
“Are you really okay?”
“Okay. And tell it to everyone.”
“Which one?”
France said to Ka-Zar, who tilted his head.
“I will explain my future plans tomorrow. “Like I said before, I’m not being reckless, so please tell me not to worry and to follow me.”
Kazar stared at France. It’s not like he’s caught up in madness and can’t see anything.
“I understand. “Then I will tell you that.”
Kazar nodded and opened the bedroom door and went out.
“Whoa…” ….”
Party! France slapped his cheek with both his hands and shook his head.
‘Let’s come to our senses.’
No matter how difficult and painful it is, you must hold your heart tight now. Because in order to get Jin back, we have to move steadily.
I will find him and cure his illness by any means necessary.

‘It’s okay because there is a final method.’
Even if all methods fail and you reach a dead end, there is .
Of course, as I thought before, I can’t watch Jin suffer and die alone, so we will die together.
France looked at the window frame where Jin always came and went.
“Jin.”
No matter what happens, we will be together forever.
