26. Assassination
We succeeded in entering Kazar and Countess Sayrel safely, and we stood in front of the party leader. The count’s knight guarding the entrance said.
―Lady Uplane is entering!
Knock! The arched door split open and the scene of the party came into view. Gorgeous chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The best dishes all over the place. And even the aristocrats having a conversation with champagne there.
No one pays attention to us. Kazar’s entrance didn’t seem to matter to them much.
“No one is paying attention.”
“My family doesn’t have much influence.”
“A local baron working for the county?”
“You don’t have any money.”
Ah, that was the problem. I am familiar with this county. Capitalism without end. He is not interested in those who do not have money, only interested in those who have money.
‘Where money is power.’
Well, I guess it’s different in other places. Only the form is different, but it is the society of this world that moves for its own benefit.
“Tell me who Earl Seirel is.”
“Hey, do you see the people talking on the second floor?”
Kazar looked in the direction his finger pointed. The men who were chatting loudly with champagne in one hand caught my eye.
“Do you see the one among me wearing a navy suit?”
“Yes.”
“That person is Earl Sayrel.”
If you just listen to what he does and think about it, greed is revealed on the outside. I must say he is a middle-aged man who can be seen everywhere.
“I will take care of the rest. Have a party or something.”
“Yes. But it’s a pity. I really wanted to kill that person with my own hands.”
Kazar’s eyes are fierce. How many things have you accumulated?
“I’ll make a big hole in my body and come back to cool off.”
“Can you never fail?”
“I know.”
Leaving behind Kazar, who gave me a worried look, I changed into a rabbit mask and went upstairs. And stood in front of Earl Seirel.
“Count Sayrel.”
“… Who are you?”
Uh, who should I introduce? I just have to hang up the name of the sub male lead.
“I am a messenger who came under the command of Youngsik, Marquis of Priaden.”
“Oh, you mean Prideden?”
“Yes.”
Earl Seirel’s eyebrows twitched.
“What is Priden Yeongsik doing here?”
“I want to do business with Count Sayrell.”
“Business… ?”
“Yes. He told me that it was possible through the Earl of Sayrell.”
“It’s a business that can be done through this place, I don’t know what you mean.”
Earl Sayrel frowns and twists her lips. I guess it’s very suspicious. I added a comment.
“It’s something the Count can make money without having to use his hands. It’s like a toll.”
It was only then that Earl Seirel began to show curiosity.
“Would you like to go to the break room to discuss the details? There are a lot of eyes here…….”
“Good. It’s a story that makes money, so I’ll listen to it.”
A real money madman is right. Heading straight to the resting room without questioning whether I was really an emissary from the Marquis of Priden.
‘He probably didn’t even think that someone would kill him here.’
That will be the worst mistake and the last of your life.
“Go in.”
Me and Count Sayrel came in looking for an empty resting room. Thud. The thick door for soundproofing was closed. Earl Seirel nodded his head as he sat down on the sofa.
“Now the proper story begins.”
I didn’t sit down on the sofa and looked at him with a grin.
“… What are you doing without sitting down?”
I took out a feather pen from my pocket.
“Earl Seirel. From now on, I will ask you some questions.”
The Count tilted his head and narrowed his eyebrows. I spoke.
“I exploited the people of the county to satisfy my own self-interest. Am I right?”
“… What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“The innocent woman was framed and forcibly coveted. Am I right?”
The count’s eyes widened.
“Where the hell is that… !”
Anyway, what Kazar said seemed to be the truth. Actually, I was a little suspicious, so I stabbed it, but I didn’t expect a reaction like that openly.
“Where did you send him! Look, is anyone there!”
“No matter how much you shout, it is useless. This is the break room.”
Earl Seirel flinched as if he realized something.
The break room at a party is usually designed for male-female relationships, so soundproofing is thorough. No matter how much I shout, no one comes.
“Consider dying to me fortunate. Unlike Kazar, I will send you in one room.”
“Kazar… ? Could it be that it was sent from the Uplane family?!”
I shrugged and poured the aura into the feather pen I took out of my pocket. Chanang! With a sharp sound, the blue light embraced the pen.
From noble mtl dot com
“Oh come?!”
“I know you well.”
“Nonsense.”
Earl Seirel looks at me with a devastated face. He threw the pen at him lightly as if blowing a card. Wedge liquid! The feather pen flew through the air and shot out like an arrow.
Without a sound, Count Sayrel’s abdomen was pierced. There was also a hole in the wall behind him the size of a fist.
“Keoheouk… !”
Earl Seirel looked down at him while holding his stomach with trembling hands. Blood gushed out later. He then sat down on his knees and banged his head on the floor.
‘I have to jump out quickly.’
I put on my cat mask again and left the break room. I looked around and there was no one there. I hurried down to the first floor just in case someone would come.
I toured the party hall. Khazar had several dishes on his plate. I turned to her
“Kazar.”
“Oh, you are here. How did it go?”
“Success. We have to get out now.”
Kazar nodded silently. We quietly left the party.
Leaving the entrance of the mansion, Kazar asked.
“Where did you throw the pen?”
“Pear.”
“Eh, that’s not fun.”
“Then where did you want to throw it?”
“You know without saying, right?”
She was a scarier woman than I thought.
“So, will you accompany me to the duke’s mansion?”
“Yes. Oh, there’s something I need to do before that.”
“What is it?”
“Follow me.”
I walked along the Khazar. The place they arrived at was a small warehouse next to the count’s residence.
“What are you doing here?”
“You will know when you see it.”
Clap. As if she was used to it, she unlocked the warehouse lock with her magic.
When I went inside, there was nothing but dust. Kazar silently crouched down and pulled something on the floor.
Dr.
It was a door leading to the basement.
“Is this place?”
“This is where the people who were killed by Count Seirel are gathered.”
You were a dirtier bastard than I thought. Crazy bastard, good kill
“Let’s go.”
Ka-Zar wrapped a spark around her hand to light her. As she went down the stairs, she came to prisons made of iron bars.
‘It’s similar to when I was captured as a slave.’
Remembering that time brought tears to my eyes. Kazar said.
“This is Count Sayrel’s hobby.”
Ka-Zar wandered around and unlocked her prison with her magic. Inside she was full of naked women of all ages.
“Everyone! Count Sayrel is dead! Everyone is free!”
She shouted. However, her response was indifferent.
Kha-Zar shook her head and let out a sigh.
“I should have saved you sooner.”
“It couldn’t be helped.”
“That’s right.”
People creeping out of prison. All of them had haggard and lifeless faces.
“The heir will take good care of these people.”
“Does he know this too?”
“Yes. Because he was the one who showed me this prison in the first place.”
Did the heir to Count Sayrel know everything? I asked Kazar.
“Is the plan to assassinate the count also made by him?”
“Yes. He asked me that he couldn’t stand to see such atrocities any longer.”
It didn’t happen by Khazar’s own will. By the way, such a son was born to such a father. It’s amazing. Children usually follow their parents.
“Are we finished now?”
“I have to report it to him.”
“Quickly please. There is no time for this.”
Kazar nodded.
“Then let’s go see you right away.”
* * *
Kazar and I entered the window of the count’s residence through flying magic. There, a man was sitting in a chair and reading a book.
“Is it Khazar?”
“Yes.”
“The plan.”
“Success.”
Only then did the man look back. He resembled a son of Earl Seyrel. Is that person his successor?
“Who is the person next to you?”
“This is the person who helped me with this plan.”
“Where are you from?”
“That… ….”
Glance. Kazar turns his head and looks at me. I answered instead.
“I am from the Duchy of Descartes.”
“… Descartes? What happened to this place… ?”
“There is an unavoidable situation.”
“I see.”
He came up to me and held out his hand. Since he came from the Duchy of Descartes, is he trying to build up his connections?
“My name is Eden Seirel.”
Well, that’s a name for you. That’s pretty good. I am a slave.
“Will you not tell me?”
“There are unavoidable circumstances here as well.”
“You must be a man full of secrets.”
Eden let out a sigh of regret and continued.
“Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, I was able to stop my father’s tyranny.”
“No. It was something I had to do as a person working in the county.”
Kazar and Eden look at each other and smile. What are you doing with me as a screen? I urged Kazar.
“Kazar. Tell me your purpose quickly.”
“Oh, yes.”
She continued her speech with a nod of her head.
“Eden. I have something to tell you.”
“Something?”
“I intend to leave the Earldom of Sayrel.”
“What… ?”
Eden’s eyes widened.
“Why? Now everything is about to start again…….”
“I made an appointment with this person.”
Eden glares at me. Why? Did you even whisper love?
“I’m leaving for a while, so don’t worry too much. When I achieve my goal, I will definitely return to my hometown.”
Whoa, Eden sighed.
“Yes, if that is your will, I can’t help it. I will make the Earldom of Seyrell a good place again. I will wait for the day you come back.”
Nodding off. Kazar bowed his head and said hello. I whispered to her
“I don’t have a carriage to ride. Ask to borrow one.”
Kazar looked at me with his brows furrowed. No, I don’t have any money. What should I do? Soon, she shook her head and said to Eden.
“Eden. Excuse me, can I borrow a carriage?”
“Wagon?”
“Yes. Since I have to travel quite far…….”
Eden readily agreed.
“Good. Are you going right away?”
“Yes.”
“Yes. I will prepare a wagon right away.”
“Thank you.”
That’s it.
“Then excuse me.”
After saying our last goodbyes, we boarded the carriage prepared by Eden Seirel.
“Where should I take you?”
“To the Duchy of Descartes.”
“Yeah.”
It’s rattled. The carriage moved. I don’t know if Frances is doing well. I hope something doesn’t happen while I’m gone.
“You have a lot of worries on your face?”
Kazar asked, tilting her head.
“No big deal.”
“Are you worried about the princess?”
“… ….”
“You are loyal.”
It wasn’t exactly wrong, so I just stayed still.
“By the way, you know.”
“What is it?”
“Are you really just taking me to teach you magic? Or do you have other purposes?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
“You make people curious again.”
I smiled and looked out the window. Looking at the night sky reminded me of Frances.
The reason I’m taking Kazar now, and the reason I’m letting Frances learn magic. Everything about her is for her and her for me.
‘And later.’
I can make it.
A new invention that will change the age of empire.
