A man, who was standing behind the window of the hotel's room overlooking the central square of the royal road, slowly turned back. The handsome man with short blond hair was tall and stood smiling.
"Why did you come to see me in person? I understand that we shouldn't be meeting like this."
"There was something urgent, so I couldn't help it."
The handsome man who was looking at Caren's complexion asked to sit.
"Let's sit down and talk."
When Caren sat down, Vandes stood behind him. Vandes was in a place he had never been to before, and his opponent was also a person he had never seen before. He was honestly disappointed that he did not know this man, but he was faithful to his work.
"Miller. I need help."
The handsome man, named Miller, smiled and looked at Caren quietly. Caren sighed at the gaze and said.
"I'm sure you heard that I was attacked"
"There's a lot of rumors on the royal road, and of course I heard it."
"Did you figure out who that person is?"
Miller said, pouring the wine.
"There are people who can predict it. But why are you looking for him?"
"Do you think I'll be able to find him? I need revenge on him."
Miller poured alcohol into his glass and said.
"You don't have time for that".
Caren's frowned.
"What are you talking about?"
"The troops moved in the royal palace. Someone said they are headed to your mansion."
"What?"
"Seeing that you managed to meet me, you're not out of luck yet."
Caren was speechless. Troops were heading from the royal palace? He was the head of the Prince's group.
There was something that suddenly came to mind.
He found Isperto's body in the underground laboratory and disposed of all the remaining people. He gave up the imprisoned people to be killed or to be used in research.
He thought he just had to clean up the remaining evidence.
Is that problem holding him back?
Why is the king dispatching troops? It was still the period of mourning for the prince.
Caren spoke quickly to Miller.
"Help me."
Miller held up the wine glass and shook it. Miller, who was still looking at wine in a color resembling an amethyst, looked back at Caren.
The money, time, and information entered to embrace him as the head of the Prince's group are beyond imagination.
Caren must have thought that they could help each other.
He was confident that this was a successful investment because he was keeping Pendragon in check and led the prince to the brink of the throne.
However, when Pendragon began to move, the prince became a kite that fell.
The prince was dead, and royal forces were trying to catch Caren.
Miller had to decide if it was worth investing in Caren. That was Miller's own decision, one of the three captains of Kelberos, the special forces of the Magelta Kingdom.
Is there a need to risk his life for Caren's escape?
Miller knew that Caren planted a person in the royal palace, so it was still worth saving him.
"Okay, but from now on, you have to follow our orders thoroughly."
"Yes, indeed. And I want my guardian knight to escape with me."
"Of course. We're thankful if Vandes comes with us."
When Miller bounced his finger, the door opened and two women came in.
They looked like hotel employees. They handed Caren and Vandes a black cape with hoods.
It was a traveler's cape that was common.
"Change into that first."
Miller emptied the wine while Carene and Vandes were changing their capes.
"The agents behind us will guide you. All the doors of the royal road are closed now, so wait until the door opens tomorrow. I'll let you get out of the royal road as soon as the sun rises tomorrow."
"Thank you."
When Caren and Vandes stepped down, a woman quietly appeared behind Miller.
"Miller. Not only will our hideout spot, but also the lives of our agents will be in danger."
"I know."
Miller poured the wine back into the glass and spoke in a calm voice.
"It's because he's still worth it. In addition, we've been working hard for him the last 16 years, so it's a waste to just let him die."
"You're going too far with this."
Miller lifted a wine glass and shook it, then smiled.
"It's okay. Tell me that next time. So that I can think about it one more time."
Miller looked out the window, emptying the wine.
"Fortunately, the royal road is disorganized by the death of the prince, so if they have luck, they can get out of it."
Caren's Room.
Emilia sat in a chair in front of the bed and briefly investigated, but now the room was turned over by the soldiers.
Emilia walked to the window and looked down at the garden of the mansion. It was after soldiers from the royal palace overpowered all the soldiers in the mansion and tied them up.
Starting with the main house, she was searching carefully, but she couldn't find Caren.
Then, she heard a voice behind her.
"I brought the butler."
When Emilia turned around, the butler of Caren was dragged into the room.
When he kneeled down, Emilia brought back the chair she had placed next to the bed, sat there, and asked.
"I can't find Caren."
They even looked inside his secret room. Even though it was such a surprise, Caren was not there.
He hadn't even recovered from his injury yet.
"He had dinner and hurried out somewhere on a horse with Lord Vandes."
It is already known that someone in the royal palace has been tipping Caren. But Emilia never thought this surprise would fail. He moved very fast.
Emilia stood up and said.
"Ban. Contact the royal garrison to block all royal gates and search. We can't miss him."
"Yes."
Emilia, who was looking halfway out of the butler's office, looked out of the window again. Caren is now unable to escape within the royal road.
However, if she misses him, he will join forces with the nobles in the south.
Something that could lead to rebellion in the kingdom. Caren was already the head of the Prince's group, so it would not be difficult to lead them.
She had to prevent such a thing.
Emilia's eyes turned to the woman standing behind her.
"Look for him."
"I released the agents. We'll find him soon."
In response to Akalan team leader Berry's answer, Emilia habitually took out her notebook and looked inside. Then she folded her notebook and walked out.
"Did you deliver the order?"
"Yes."
"Follow me."
As Emilia climbed on the horse in front of the mansion, she looked at Berry, who followed her.
"Let's find him before the night is over. It's mourning period, so we can't make a fuss, so we have to catch him secretly. If it's too hard to arrest him alive, I give permission to slit his throat."
"I'll do that. May I ask where you're going now?"
"I'm on my way to ask for help."
Emilia ran straight ahead. Ban, who was following Emilia, asked.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"I told you. I'm going to ask for help."
He wanted to ask who the hell she was going to ask for help at this night, but he put up with it for now. He believed that he would find out soon.
It was in front of Pendragon's mansion that Emilia stopped her horse. The soldiers saw Emilia and blocked her.
"Stop."
Emilia stopped and took the golden plaque out of her arms and held it out to them.
"I'm Emilia, the Law Enforcement Officer."
The soldier who confirmed the golden plaque asked.
"Why are you here at this late hour?"
"I came because I had something to do. Is Pendragon and the Princess back?"
"They haven't returned yet."
Emilia nodded and said.
"I have business with the guests. Can I go in?"
The guards couldn't stop her because she had a golden plaque given by the royal family. If they really wanted to block her, it's not impossible because they could use Pendragon as an excuse, but they decided to let her in.
When the door opened, Emilia ran with Ban. Emilia ran to the main building.
While running like that, Emilia suddenly turned her head. She felt a gaze in the dark.
When she turned her head and checked, she could see that it was an owl with large eyes. Seeing owls in the royal road was not common, but Emilia shook her head and headed straight to Pendragon's main house.
Without knowing that the owl kept looking at her.
When Emilia arrived at the main house, the butler was waiting at the door as she got off the horse.
"Emilia, what brings you here late at night?"
Emilia approached the butler and asked.
"I want to meet Ed. Where is he?"
"He's inside, but may I ask what's going on?"
"I have a favor to ask of him."
The butler turned around and guided her. While walking behind the butler, Emilia was not sure whether her decision was the right one or not.
They arrived in the drawing-room, some people were inside as if they were waiting. They, who were talking with all their weapons packed, could not hide their curiosity when they saw Emilia.
"Investigator Emilia?"
When Ed stood up and asked, Emilia, realized why she came to him.
It's because of this person's eyes.
His eyes look like he can do anything. He was a person who she can trust anything.
"Now I'm a Law Enforcement Officer."
"Law Enforcement Officer?"
Ed enjoyed the demon's era 1, but he does not know in detail the position she receive from the royal family. Ed did not understand what job Law Enforcement Officer had to do.
Seeing Ed's eyes, Emilia felt a small pleasure that she couldn't understand.
"Your Highness confirmed that Gado was alive, and ordered the arrest of Caren. I'm in charge of this arrest."
"Congratulations."
Ed was honestly surprised by Emilia's visit.
He was preparing for the witchcraft man's teacher. Ed decided to prepare after hearing that Diego figured out the location of the demon.
It is unimaginable that someone will invade Pendragon's house, but this was so unpredictable that they decided to protect this place today.
Ed thought it was certain that the witchcraft man was receiving the power of the demon.
So he was waiting armed, and Emilia came to me.
"Thank you. I took the liberty to come here because I had a favor to ask."
Ed never thought Emilia would ask a favor. After all, she came to arrest him earlier this morning.
If it weren't for Cecilia and Pendragon, she wouldn't have listened to Ed.
"What favor?"
Emilia seemed to catch her breath for a moment and opened her mouth.
"Help me arrest or assassinate Caren."
This was an unexpected request. Ed heard she's running the job now, so why does he need to help her?
"I raided his house immediately after receiving the order, but he was already gone. I ordered to block the door of the royal road and track him down, but if I miss him, the southern nobles could gather and rebel, so I came to ask for help."
Ed was lost in thought for a moment when he heard that. How can he find a person on the royal road?
"Isn't Akalan helping you? Do you need my help?"
With Akalan's eyes and ears, it will not be difficult to find his whereabouts within the royal road.
"It's just a feeling. I really need your help to find Caren."
A feeling?
However, she cannot be ignored since she is part of the royal family. It is said that the order of succession to the throne is quite delayed, but
Cecilia clearly said she would not take over the throne.
If so, Emilia will approach the throne if she contributes to arresting or killing Minister Caren.
Ed couldn't refuse Emilia's request.
"If I can kill him, I'll help you."
Emilia smiled. Come to think of it, He has never seen this woman smile yet.
"Thank you."
Then, Ed felt Arin's strange gaze behind his back.
A man, who was standing behind the window of the hotel's room overlooking the central square of the royal road, slowly turned back. The handsome man with short blond hair was tall and stood smiling.
"Why did you come to see me in person? I understand that we shouldn't be meeting like this."
