The road to the meeting place.
With Beatrice on her back, her back ached.
Perhaps because the tension disappeared, the aftereffects of the battle came at once.
My palms were sore, and my thighs and forearms throbbed.
“Brother Raymond!”
When I was almost at the entrance, the knights who spotted me came running in a hurry.
And seeing Beatrice on my back, my face hardened.
It was a big deal that the daughter of a high magician like me was injured.
Whether they did or not, I passed them and went inside.
“Get a therapist.”
After talking to the knights, he carefully set Beatrice down.
And I looked around.
‘found.’
The face of Kaham, who met my eyes from afar, turned pale.
They were surprised that Beatrice and I had returned alive.
Don’t be surprised.
Because we, whom he tried to kill, came back alive against the Oak Warriors.
It was obvious that he would have thought it would be fortunate to have even a corpse rescued.
“You are alive. I was surprised by the sudden disappearance.”
I tried to hold back the anger that bubbling up and spoke to him.
“ah… Yes.”
Looking at his shy face, I want to hit him once.
Yesterday I had to break the bones in my whole body so I couldn’t move at all.
As I spoke, I examined his body.
Even though he had never swung a sword, his torn clothes and scarred skin.
And the necklace with the brown barrel I saw earlier when I met the orcs drunk on stimulants.
‘It’s that barrel.’
A barrel made to escape from orcs.
I didn’t expect it to be seen so openly.
“It must be very sad that I came back alive.”
“What is that… I am glad that you came back safely.”
“is that so? But for that kind of thing, it doesn’t look good.”
He hurriedly patted his face.
Watching his reaction, I took out the leaf that I put in my bosom.
“I found some pretty interesting things there.”
I showed him the leaf.
His eye-popping reaction convinced me again that he was the culprit.
If it wasn’t the culprit, it was normal to wonder what it was.
I’m not that surprised
“They say this is an orc stimulant. Thanks to this, I was able to meet the Oak Warrior.”
People’s eyes are focused on the leaf I hold.
At that, Kaham’s complexion darkened.
“It is strange. Something like this is installed in the hunting ground. It looked like he was trying to kill someone.”
“… .”
“But this is also a bit strange, it is impossible to enter the hunting grounds unless you are a person concerned… .”
“Uh, what is that… !”
“Why is Kaham Youngshik angry? I’m not talking about anyone in particular. Do you have any pricks?”
“Nonsense. There is no reason for me to do that.”
“Well, yes. If the culprit was here, it would never look good.”

Knights with bloody eyes are approaching. As if she had been treated by a therapist before she knew it, Beatrice was also with her, walking normally.
“I don’t know who the culprit was, but the prank went too far. Thanks to that, Lady Beatrice and I almost died.”
People are agitated by the word ‘death’.
Even for nobles, no, because they are nobles, death is sensitive.
Because you have so many things.
“This was so much fun. It’s toxic, so if you touch it with your bare hands like this, you’ll get black spots.”
I showed my hand to people.
Black spots appeared on my hands that had touched the leaves.
“This does not require treatment, so it takes three days for the spots to subside. Well, fortunately, the point is that it is harmless to the human body… .”
People look at my hands.
“If you don’t believe me, someone else should touch this. Then you will know that what I am saying is true.”
A nobleman sent his acolyte to touch the leaves.
An ascetic knight carefully touching the leaves.
After a while, the same spots as mine appeared on his hands.
“It was real!”
“Then does that mean the culprit is here!”
People looked at each other and moved away.
You don’t know who the culprit is. They knew that there was nothing good about being close to each other.
“If the culprit were here, he would have spots on his hands like me.”
It was something that came to mind when I learned that it was an Orc stimulant.
Even in the original work, the main character used it to attract orcs, so it was impossible not to know.
Although I didn’t write it at first.
“I want everyone to show their hands. This is an issue that requires the culprit to be caught and dealt with severely. I’m sure everyone knows why.”
It was an attempt to kill a nobleman’s scion.
No matter how noble you are, you have to accept the guilt sweetly.
They scrambled to reach out to prove that they were not the culprits.
“Why doesn’t Kaham Youngshik show his hand? If you’re not guilty, show me.”
“… Why should I?”

Kaham pulled his hand back and gritted his teeth.
A deep sigh came out at the sight.
I tried to solve it peacefully because people looked at it.
It was hard to bear any longer.
“I already know what you did.”
I walked closer to him and said softly.
“There is no evidence, is there?”
“evidence? under… .”
He reached over and grabbed the brown barrel.
His body trembled and he hurriedly tried to cut my hand away.
He tore off the necklace faster than that.
“Even if I can’t use magic, I’m the eldest son of Count Millennium. Do you think you won’t recognize the magic in it?”
Click.
I opened the lid.
Then, a foul smell came out of the barrel.
It was so toxic that you could even see pale green smoke.
“Ugh!”
“What a smell!”
The people around me were frightened and held their noses and backed away.
“I knew long ago that shape preservation and sealing magic were applied.”
He grabbed his hand and took off his glove.
Then his hand full of spots was revealed.
He hurriedly covered his hand, but it was after the people around him saw it.
“I said I knew you were the culprit. ah… You say that you originally have these spots, and that you carry this barrel as a hobby? It’s such a nasty hobby.”
I called Beatrice.
After being treated by a therapist, she was able to walk somewhat.
Coming closer, she passed me and grabbed Kaham’s wrist.
And.
“light.”
used magic
Then, a light appeared around Kaham’s hand, and on the contrary, his hand was stained black.
“Uh, uh… !”
Shocked, Kaham hurriedly pulled his hand back.
Seeing that, she opened her mouth.
“The orc stimulant is a kind of magic potion. If you use magic that emits light, such as a light, on the contrary, the area touched by the Orc stimulant will turn black.”
People are confused by her words.
What she says weighs more than what I say a hundred times.
I had talked to her before coming here.
Help me catch the culprit.
At that, she said that since she was in debt, she would do the obvious, not help.
The result was this.
***
As soon as she finished speaking, things progressed quickly.

Kaham, who could not stand the continuous interrogation, eventually swelled up, and even an attendant who sympathized with the work was imprisoned.
After revealing my sins, I feel so comfortable.
‘I can’t end it with this.’
Being in prison doesn’t mean it’s over.
Even though he committed a crime, that doesn’t mean he died.
Since he is the son of a well-known Viscount, he will be released before long.
If you want to ask for more crimes, you can go to court, but I have no intention of making things worse by going that far.
He had already made the worst impression among nobles.
First of all, he and I had one thing to work out.
“The prison… .”
After the hunting event.
As the nobles returned one by one, they went to the prison where Kaham was held.
“Go somewhere else until I call.”
Although the gatekeeper who guarded the prison objected.
pressed with power.
“I thought prison would be the worst. Not bad.”
“you you… !”
Seeing me, Kaham pointed his finger and stuttered.
I looked around the prison, ignoring him.
His prison away from the acolyte wasn’t really bad.
I was given a bed, a clean blanket, and luxurious food that I couldn’t believe was a criminal.
Although he is a criminal, is a noble a noble?
The acolyte’s prison was like a filthy solitary cell full of worms.
“Do you think our Ruhaman family will be quietly watching you do this? I’m released. I will never forgive you if I go out here.”

Kaham growls like a beast.
He really doesn’t understand the situation.
“It’s noisy even when you’re locked up in prison. In a way, that is also a talent. If you fall into the water, only your lips will come to mind.”
“Are you insulting me now?”
“insult?”
It’s an insult.
Laughter comes out of nowhere.
If you knew your situation, you could never say such a thing.
I need to tell you properly this time.
How to behave when meeting me.
“I intend to do that insult from now on.”
“what… ?”
“I have an iron rule of giving back what I receive.”
I opened the door to the iron window with the key given by the gatekeeper and went inside.
“You tried to kill me, so it’s true that I want to kill you too.”
Duduk.
I untied my fingers. Kaham took a step back.
Only then did he realize what I was about to do and hurriedly called the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper never came.
I’m going to go to a tavern and have a drink at my command.
“I’m generous, so I’ll beat you until right before I die.”
“Now, wait… !”
Before making a loud noise, I stuffed a cloth into my mouth.
I just want to feel the taste.
I don’t want to throw away my ears to hear the screams.
And I didn’t want to hear his voice itself.
I put up with a lot because of this guy’s mouth.
Puck, puck!
Starting with the legs, he stepped on the torso.
I should have done this in the first place. When we sparred, we should have broken the joints of the bones so that we could not do the trick itself.
I didn’t know that doing it in moderation would come back to such a nuisance.
… Pudeudeuk.
“Ugh!”

Kaham’s face was covered with tears and runny nose.
His miserable face was stained with pain.
“Turn it off. Buy, save me… .”
When did the fabric fall out? Kaham grabbed my leg and begged me to stop.
I’m really sorry, I had no intention of quitting.
You have to change your thinking so that you won’t be able to challenge me again.
“Cheuk… ! Do you think you’ll be okay with this? My father will not forgive you!”
I stopped fisting.
Did he think his threat was successful?
It quickly becomes an elated face.
He gently stepped on the guy’s face and said.
“That proud family you spoke of. Watch carefully what happens next. I look forward to seeing your expression at that time.”
then you have to start over
He screamed at my raised fist.
