Episode 205 ― Closer (6)
“It’s strange.”
Roan’s face darkened.
It’s the body of a demon king who doesn’t usually express emotions well, but even so, Roan’s pensiveness seemed to be revealed.
The informant, the chief maid,
She also darkened the face of Diobe, who had come with her.
In this case, it is best to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
“Speak.”
“That room was previously used by Her Highness the Empress.”
“Okay. You said you waited on her mother.”
The Maid of Honor is a maid who has been managing the Demon King’s mother’s castle since she was alive. She probably knows more about sex than she (former) Demon King.
“But the size of the room is different from then.”
“How do you know that?”
“I’m a banshee, so I don’t have a problem, but… She memorizes the location of the objects inside by the number of steps so that she can attend without a fire.”
It was an absurd answer, but Diove nodded her head too.
All of the ladies-in-waiting had developed their senses like Roan, so there was no way they could move without problems even in the dark. Of course, you will find your own way.
It is absurd to turn on the light to wait on the owner while he is asleep.
“I heard she brought some furniture from Swinho Castle. If she brought in furniture, the size of the room would of course change.”
“Haona…”
The maid, who was about to say something about her, shut her mouth.
It was only one day that the empress entered the castle.
As soon as she greeted her new master, she hurriedly posted her strange words about her, which even as her chief maid of honor had to bear her fears.
She asked a question that was natural for Roan, but it seemed like she was blocking her mouth by threatening him. Surely she must have her own reasons for something in her own way.
Roan asked with a nonchalant expression, but softly.
“Don’t worry, just tell me.”
Thanks to the slightly mixed ‘appeal’, the expression of her lady-in-waiting also softened.
After hesitating for a moment, the Banshee struggled to open her mouth.
“… The whole room got smaller.”
“Even without the furniture.”
“That’s right. Your majesty.”
Roan’s brow furrowed slightly.
When the hostess of the castle changes, the decorations in the castle tend to change according to the taste of the hostess.
It was a fact that even Roan knew, so there was no way that Diobe, a former maid of honor or chief maid, would not know it.
If you change the structure of the room, the degree of size can change.
Still, there must be a reason why they came to report directly to Roan.
“And.”
“…”
And Banshee’s face darkened.
What Roan’s skill read in it
It was nothing but disgust.
“… ?”
“Chief Maid.”
Diobe quietly urged the maid.
Roan’s time is precious.
But the lady-in-waiting, who should know her better than anyone else, couldn’t open her mouth easily.
Roan waited in silence.
What she needed from the lady-in-waiting was a time to clear her mind.
The words that soon came out of her mouth were shocking.
“In the room… It stinks.”
“… What?”
Roan’s face was now so distorted that he couldn’t hide it.
The lady-in-waiting was shocked to see his expression, but she did not stop her words as if she had firmly eaten her heart.
“It’s kind of strange. The ladies-in-waiting who went in with me to tidy up didn’t seem to notice.”
And the moment Roan heard her explanation, there was only one thing that came to her mind.
Gap.
A chill went down Roan’s spine.
It was closer than I thought.
With him,
It occurred to me that that room would be a place that no one would be able to find if there was a gap in it.
The room of the former empress who died.
It was a place where even the head maid had never had a chance to enter directly, only occasionally cleaning maids before Elenia came in.
Moreover, Erenia has brought in new maids, and she is the only one who can legally fix the structure of the room.
‘But didn’t she say that it was a stench, that the more magical power she had, the stronger she felt it? The head maid doesn’t have as much magical power as the Count.’
She didn’t say anything even from Erenia, whose strength rivaled that of the Count.
Come to think of it, she must have felt such a sign from her father, the Grand Duke, but Erenia didn’t even mention it.
Was she pretending not to know?
Or is there some unknown reason for her?
The lady-in-waiting and Diove watched with anxious expressions as Roan quietly rested her chin on the table, immersed in her thoughts.
The lady-in-waiting did not know what to do and bowed her head.
Diobe also looked at Roan with a firm expression.
The new empress’s room is strange.
Even the stench.
For the maid of honor, it could have been a major blemish in her career. It’s not that she’s flawed, it’s no wonder she gets punished for framing the empress.
But she seems to sense more than that
I have consulted with Diobe on this matter.
Diobe was dubious about her words, but
She is the maid of honor, who has been in charge of the castle for more than ten years since the emperor was young.
Since she was not to be ignored without reporting to the emperor, Diobe had an audience with the emperor along with the maidservant.
‘Your Majesty will listen to me, even if it’s an absurd remark.’
Diove unconsciously clenched her fists.
The fact that the maid of honor was able to make up her mind by handing these words to the emperor.
The fact that D.O.Ve was able to come together to convey her words.
In the end, it was because her majesty made up her mind anew and built up the trust of the people in the castle.
Even the maid-in-waiting’s decision seems to have been right.
After hearing the lady-in-waiting’s absurd words, Her Majesty put her arm on the table with a serious expression, as if he was grasping something from her.
A drowsy look on his face when he has something to think about.
After tapping the table several times with her long fingers, Roan suddenly stood up.
“Your majesty.”
“If you thought it was just a smell, you would have found a repairman or Elenier, not me. I’ll have to see for myself what’s the reason for coming to Jim.”
The maid’s expression became complicated.
It was because of the joy and worry that the emperor understood her bewildered words.
“If there is something dangerous, shouldn’t I, the husband, know about it? I don’t want to spread useless words until I check. Just the two of you to follow.”
Roan left the office with strides, followed by the maid of honor.
It was Diobe who evaded the story to the office secretary who looked at them with her puzzled eyes.
“What is Elenir doing right now?”
“You are in class.”
“The ladies-in-waiting.”
She said that there were a lot of lessons about the etiquette of the empress and the housekeeping of her castle.
“Your Highness sent half to your classes and the rest to enjoy the festival.”
“Look who is there.”
If Roan started searching the room, anyone would be suspicious. Somehow, a lady-in-waiting for Ereneer could be waiting in her room.
The maid, who understood Roan’s order, quickly disappeared.
“Do you have any tips?”
Roan lightly nodded towards Diobe, who asked between the two of them.
“I’m not sure.”
“All right.”
“Have you ever entered the Empress’ room?”
Diove nodded her head slightly.
“Yes, a few times when I was working as a maid…”
And soon she knew what Roan was asking.
“I didn’t even notice.”
Is that stench really related to the “Cleft” The goddess said or the stench of the grand duke the count said?
How can you find out that
Is the maid different from the other maids?
Like the Count, the potential for magic is outstanding
Are the traits of the Banshee race at work?
Towards Diobe, who was looking at Roan with worried eyes, Roan couldn’t help but muffle her words.
Because he, too, was not sure about anything outside of the game.
“Your majesty. Eat it.”
Eleanor’s room was empty.
“… Hmm.”
The moment you step into the seemingly tidy drawing room.
“… !”
Roan unwittingly distorted his face.
“This… Case.”
“Your majesty?”
Diobe approached him in amazement,
The head maid also made a pensive expression.
“… Maid of honor. What does this smell like?”
The more I go into the living room, the more I get breathless.
Like…
It’s the smell of people dying.
However, the lady-in-waiting only slightly wiggled her brow, and answered with a polite and indifferent expression.
“It smells like sewage. In fact, it’s not that severe unless it’s in the bedroom. There may be a damaged part somewhere in the room, but I’m the only one who feels it…”
It would be very fortunate if such a construction was flawed.
However, Roan couldn’t make such a calm expression. A violent emotional expression that could not be stopped even by the body of the demon king. Roan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and looked around his room.
“What about the repairmen and technicians?”
“I haven’t called yet. We can’t let her enter and leave His Highness’s room, and above all, since His Highness didn’t say anything else, it’s hard to call her in hastily and disturb the bedroom.”
He is too.
It is not possible for the maid to discuss the room in which Erenia herself is doing well without any problems.
“There must be a reason you told me about the layout of the room.”
Then the lady-in-waiting agreed.
“You seem to think that the source of the smell and its structure have something to do with it.”
“That’s right. Your majesty.”
Roan’s eyes narrowed.
There doesn’t seem to be any problem with the parlor.
Passing through the parlor and small office for the empress, there was a bedroom where she could rest.
The place the lady-in-waiting was talking about was inside.
Roan clenched his fists.
“Wait outside. Call me when someone comes. I will deal with it.”
If someone is unlucky,
I’d have no choice but to ask Erennier about this.
The two women bowed their heads,
Roan entered Eleanor’s bedroom, the source of the stench.
“… !”
A stench that makes you dizzy for a while.
Roan concentrated and looked around.
Shortly after nesting in the demon king’s body, he wandered around the rooms as if exploring the inside of the castle.
I had been to this place at that time, to the bedroom of the previous empress, but of course it wasn’t like this back then.
‘What the hell happened… ?’
If this is really a gap,
It will respond to the power of the Goddess in some way.
Thinking so, Roan floated a small light on his hand.
And Roan admired a little.
The starlight shimmered and began to make it easier to breathe.
As if the stench had been made visible, the area where the starlight did not reach became hazy and dark as if there was fog.
And somewhere, it reached Roan’s gaze.
Where the dark fog forms long vertical lines. Perhaps the smell was leaking through the wall behind it.
‘Is it leaking from there?’
Roan groped for the wooden wall, thinking of calling ‘Star Cloud Shield’ if he had to.
When you see it with the naked eye, it’s just an ordinary wooden wall. A tapestry was adorned on it.
Roan’s fingers, groping behind the tapestry, caught something.
The moment Roan opened the wall with all his strength, realizing that it was a sliding door handle of a shape that he would not be familiar with here in Evirgio.
Roan learned what that ‘gap’ was.
“This… Why here… ?”
Roan didn’t even realize I was stuttering. The shock of seeing a cell phone here for the first time was that strong.
The shape of an object that was so familiar, he, too, had always kept it from his body.
In the world where Yongcheol originally lived, everyone had it.
However, the fog revealed through ‘starlight’ overflowed in a shady and damp manner, as if springing from the square and small object.
And when he saw the objects on the left and right of it, Roan was even more shocked.
“Ha, crazy…”
All the objects around him looking at Roan with cold still life eyes were Roan.
Goosebumps sprouted on Roan’s arm.
