It Is Getting Dark
Chapter 12
12 – Audacity
“As an honorable knight, Marquis Schuellichen worked for the defense of the empire. He devoted himself to the Empire with a noble spirit. Lord. Take it kindly make me your servant amen.”
“””Amen.”””
Workers dug the ground and buried the coffin.
Watching the end of a person’s life come to an end.
“Come on, Carl.”
I followed Cassius.
* * *
Cassius returned to his office, which was in disarray and unrepaired, and sat down.
“Do you really think so? There are so many rooms, so why bother here….”
“Because this is the center of the Marquis family.”
As Cassius answered, he wrote a letter.
It was a bit pitiful to see him write with his hand pressed down on the stationery that was about to be blown away by the wind.
“Karl, is there anyone who would like to personally convey the news of your father?”
“No.”
“Is that so?”
After the conversation, Cassius said nothing more.
Kassius and I both knew we had something to say.
However, it was not an easy topic to bring up because it was a sensitive subject.
We were expecting each other to talk first.
After playing such a game for a long time, I eventually threw the hwadu first.
“So what are you going to do with Katrina now?”
“…Then what do you want to do?”
“What do you usually do in times like this?”
“Considering that Katrina is a wizard, it would be best if she closed the circle and locked herself in a prison tower. And she might run away from the tower, so I’ll have to cut off her leg too.”
A very nasty word came out.
Casius became quite ferocious when it came to Katrina.
I started to worry about his words.
I received a lot of help from Cassius this time, but I wasn’t sure if I could trust him yet.
If Cassius suddenly turns into an enemy, the best thing would be to use Katrina as a shield, just like I used Cassius to block Katrina.
If we destroy Katrina’s circle, would that be possible?
Someone may say that I have no conscience or that I am suffering from doubt disease after being helped by Cassius so much, but the decisive reason I was able to live in that harsh world without anyone helping me was because I believed in people rather than trusting them. Because he was suspicious
Betrayal due to trust was more painful than isolation due to doubt.
So I didn’t believe the word “Never” In any case.
That’s why.
“Just forgive me.”
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason.
Katrina is a character who helped the player in the Witch Hunt.
I had no idea what would happen if I disappeared.
To be honest, I felt uncomfortable.
I never thought I’d say I’d save the b*tch who tried to kill me with my own mouth.
“Anyway, as Your Highness promised, if nothing happens, Katrina’s crimes will disappear, so why do you destroy and imprison her circle?”
I wanted to go pick up a knife and do a sword dance right away, so I spit out words I didn’t like.
After hearing my words, Cassius’ hand writing the letter finally stopped.
“You can create as many crimes as you need.”
Kassius’s eyes sharpened.
In an atmosphere so different from when he met Marquis Schellichen or me, Cassius had a terrifying ghost in his eyes, enough to make him mistaken for someone else.
“Let’s kill it. Weeds must be uprooted.”
Hey, I never thought I’d talk about weeding roots here.
When I objected, Cassius went one step further.
“Brother.”
Boom!
As I tried to argue, Cassius hit the desk.
“Knife. The daughter of the woman who insulted her father and hurt her mother.”
I’m sorry, but I don’t know what Katrina’s mother did.
“And half, but with the same blood as ours.”
“That mouth! Shut up.”
Cassius’ current appearance is very different from the ones he has shown so far.
At the same time, it seemed that Cassius was barely controlling his exploding emotions.
As if I was quite excited, Cassius pulled me by the collar.
It’s funny, but after seeing Cassius’ attitude, Katrina started to understand.
In the Witch Hunt I played, he was a kind and kind character to the players who helped him.
When I first landed here, I thought it was Katrina’s smoke, but in a way, I thought it might not be.
When her player met her, Carl and Cassius were no longer in her family.
Isn’t it because she didn’t have Carl and Cassius?
From Cassius’ attitude, you can predict how he would have treated Katrina.
“Karl, why are you doing that all of a sudden? Didn’t you hate Katrina too?”
That’s something I don’t know.
“How can I go against my brother when he reacts like this?”
I have no choice but to say this.
“So she forgave her!”
The woman Cassius is talking about here is not Katrina.
When Cassius talks about Katrina, he says she’s a b*tch, but he doesn’t say she’s that woman.
I was worried for a moment.
I don’t know what Katrina’s mother did.
I’m sure something happened.
If you say you forgive prematurely, the sword might be suspicious.
I thought about how to push forward.
And we decided to push forward with one concept.
“How can I forgive her?”
“But how!”
From noble mtl dot com.
I cut off Cassius’ words.
“But it’s her fault, not Katrina’s.”
I was also annoyed at trying to argue while arguing with something I didn’t mean to say.
Kassius gritted his teeth.
“This is the b*tch who was aiming for your neck.”
“And he is our little brother.”
It was then.
There was a knock on the wall, and Cassius and I looked at it.
“Should I wait longer? The hour I was promised. I want you to use it now.”
We looked at the princess without saying anything.
“Why do you want to say that you don’t notice? I thought it would be okay to bring the honored guests who came to pay funeral condolences and scream so that everyone could hear.”
He knocked on the broken door built into the wall.
“I could hear it especially well because there was no door.”
In the end, Cassius let go of my collar.
“You will regret it.”
The back of Cassius, who is expected to feel betrayed.
But at the same time, I thought that maybe Cassius didn’t help me to save me, but because he had an opportunity to kill Katrina.
Cassius bowed her head once as he said he was sorry to the princess and passed by.
It really feels like my blood is drying up every day.
* * *
The princess and Carl sat facing each other in a secret room.
“It took a long time. I wanted to have a conversation with you alone. I never thought it would take this long.”
“I apologize for keeping you waiting. Majesty.”
The princess looked at the lie detector she had received from Eina, which looked like her wristwatch, and said.
Red.
It was clearly a lie.
“You speak lies casually.”
Of course, Carl didn’t know that the princess was wearing her lie detector, so she thought it was a joke.
‘If you were like me, would you want to see the person you tried to kill?’
“hahahaha, how can you say that?”
Carl quenched his throat with tea.
Carl was very worried mentally because he did not know how much the princess would burn her throat in the future.
“So why did you ask me to speak up?”
* * *
I wanted to get to the point quickly and finish it.
“That’s the point…. Is it a goal-oriented mindset? That’s not bad either.”
What are you talking about?
“It was funny when she first asked me to play her chess, saying that the lady-in-waiting you sent would entertain me. I was good at chess.”
Well, I also woke up after watching the strategy in Witch Hunt.
No, can’t I set the standard for myself?
Well, I’m pretty sure she plays her chess pretty well anyway.
“To play chess with expected moves without even face-to-face. Even though I was dumbfounded, the heat spread. I wondered if this was the only way to come up with it. Wasn’t he too immature to do that?”
I was stupid….
It was the best move I could think of.
“But when I started playing chess, I changed my mind. And when I lost, I thought No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense. That’s not something that can be explained by just playing chess well.”
The princess approached with a smile.
“I wonder if I could see the future.”
The princess’s smile was very beautiful.
Noble yet restrained beauty like a peony.
“So my conclusion is that you have the ability to see into the future.”
However, on the contrary, she used a tone that seemed to show her dignity, but she was also cute with a playful look full of anticipation like a child before receiving her toy as a gift.
If it’s ten, it’s ten.
A ten out of ten men would have made up stories that didn’t exist to get her attention.
If there is one exception.
“No.”
I wasn’t stupid enough to fall for the woman who tried to kill me.
Besides, lying that you have abilities that you don’t have that can be revealed too easily was too risky.
“I have a reputation for being untalented. And that’s not a lie.”
“Sure. In other words.”
I have to convince you by claiming that the method for predicting the number of princesses does not have the ability to see the future.
But that is also impossible.
If this is possible, then.
“It’s just that the number of princesses was all within my prediction range.”
I have no choice but to go out shamelessly.
