You take Vialov outside, and the soldiers are rushing towards the cellar to see if they've detected anything lately.

Standing still and waiting for them, Janton, who knows me, suddenly approaches.

“Huff... Huff... Kaiyan, what's going on? We just had an emergency beep. ”

“Emergency? Oh, that's why everyone's here. ”

Emergency type informing of the hazard at the immunity center spire.

It looks like someone rang the bell when they saw the guard down.

Yanton sighs, looking at the two masks who were lying behind me, he looks at them in amazement and points with his hands.

“Hey, who are these guys? And why interest in Vialov...? ”

“These are assassins from the Armis family, and Vialov is now a guest of the Markains. ”

“Yes? Assassin... Why would Vialov be a guest... of that person...? ”

Janton doesn't seem to like the fact that he treats the nobleman of the Armis family, Vialov, who tried to kill Linda, as a guest, rather than an assassin.

“I know, but now's the time to use it. Better yet, there are three more assassins inside, so I need you to clean up. Especially since they're still alive. Tie them up so they don't run away. Then I have work to do. ”

“Oh, yes! Aye, aye! Troop two, go inside and check on Delancey and the assassins! ”

Janton takes command of the soldiers for a moment, but then he remembers to walk over to the commotion. With Vialov by my side.

After a short walk to the mansion, the knights armed with plate armor draw their swords and block the way.

Is it an emergency? ’

As I was about to pass by the mansion ignoring them, a knight swung his sword at me.

“Stop.”

“... What is it? ”

“You cannot enter the mansion at this time because of the emergency bell. And……. ”

The knight's sword ends at Vialov.

“Why do you have Vialov? He's supposed to be locked up in the cellar. ”

“Hiic...! I just followed you because I told you to follow me! ”

Poor Vialov.

You look at Vialov, who fell on the floor in fear of the lever, and look at the knight.

“I need to see Linda. With him.”

“What the……! You can't see the lord right now! Besides, with him! ”

The expression on the knights' faces makes me very unhappy.

Probably because they're comfortable talking to their lord and because Linda's relying too much on me, not on herself.

‘Idiots. When Delancey tried to kill Linda, they knew nothing but comfort. ’

I don't want to regret being jealous of them.

"Shouldn't these guys be cleaning up with Delancey, too? ’

Even if the Armies business is solved, can we trust these guys to leave Linda behind?

What am I supposed to do with these incompetent bastards?

As you ponder over the knights, the door of the mansion opens and Linda walks out in her arms.

“What's going on? ”

“My lord! The alarm has gone off! ”

“I've heard bells. So, what's going on? ”

“Oh, well... the soldiers are checking it out, so you'll know soon enough! ”

“I see. Then why are you aiming your sword at Mr. Kaiyan? ”

“Yes? Well... I said I couldn't let a suspicious person into the mansion without an emergency call, but I was trying to force him to go inside. Moreover, the author brought Vialov, who was supposed to be locked up in an underground warehouse. ”

Linda sighs as she looks at Vialov once, speaking from the knight.

“Phew... I would have told you that Mr. Kaiyan is my guest. Put the sword away. ”

“Yes? Oh, yes! I understand.”

Linda approaches me as the knights step back with a grumpy look on their swords.

“Sir, what's going on? ”

“House Armis sent assassins to kill Vialov. ”

“Yes? Then the assassins...? ”

“They're alive and the rest... they're probably dead, so don't worry. Janton's running the troops now, so we should be clear soon. ”

“Earl Armis is a terrible man for trying to kill the nobles of the same family... He was favored again by Kaiyan. Thank you."

Linda glances at you with overwhelming eyes.

That twinkling look that reminds me of my brother Biya.

“Hmmm... Let's go inside. I need to talk to you about something. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Linda and Vialov are brought into my room on the third floor of the mansion, leaving the foolish knights behind, throwing a rattled Vialope in the corner, and seating Linda and Riika in a chair.

“Now let's come up with a plan. ”

[What plan?]

“What…? ”

“I plan to do great harm to Earl Armis' family. ”

“Is that possible…? I think it will be enough the way you said it before.... ”

“No. That's how you keep the Armies from messing with the Markains, not revenge. ”

The first plan I told Linda was to ensure the safety of the Markayne family. The problem is that even if they do, they won't get the gold mines on Markain's territory from the Armis family, and there won't be much damage.

‘I want revenge on Linda's family. ’

I know how much sadness that is because I have lost my family. But it doesn't make sense for me to leave Earl Armis alone.

This is the vengeance of Linda, and the expression of my anger toward Earl Armis who orchestrated it.

“If Vialov can help us, something wonderful will happen. ”

“Hiic...! ”

Looking at Vialov with the prey's eyes, the terrified man crashes his head to the ground.

If he finds out that the assassin is really here to kill himself, he'll be forced to cooperate in my work. The owner of the Armies has abandoned himself.

“Now, Vialov, let me tell you a very simple thing you need to do. From now on, you're dead to me. ”

“Eek?”

Three days after the assassination, unilateral communications came from the Armis family.

The message was that he wanted to communicate directly with Vialov, and when he refused, the Armis family cut off their communication leaving a message to the Marcains that they were requesting a territorial war.

“Sir, I really think the Armies know that Vialov is dead. It's going exactly as you planned! ”

Linda, who was sitting in my room chair, looked at me with overwhelming eyes.

“Of course. That's why I lied to the knights. ”

Biarov's scream echoes through the mansion three days ago. What his knights saw was a bloody bed. Inside the bed lies Vialov, pale face, for how much blood has been shed.

The knights came out surprised and looked at Linda, and lied to them that Vialov had tried to rebel and had to kill her.

‘Vialov...’

As I turned my head, I met Vialov, who was eating a delicious snack on the bed.

“Heheh... ”

“... Yes, eat a lot. ”

They don't even know they're alive.

Thanks to them, everyone who worked at the Marcaine Manor, starting with the regular soldiers, believed that Vialov was dead, and even though it was not officially announced as expected, the Armis came through.

Maybe they were convinced that Vialov was dead through a mole. You probably didn't see the body yourself, but you threw the bloody bed out on purpose.

‘Besides, the red blood on that bed is really Vialov's blood. No matter what you do, you'll think Vialov is dead. ’

Potions are the only way to keep you alive with that much blood.

Thanks to this, I consumed all the potions I carried around for emergencies. Linda told me that she would give me a potion in the family, but I couldn't take it. I was the one who planned all this.

“What are you going to do now? ”

“Accept the Territory War. Of course, protesting against the Empire as if it were unfair as possible. That way, the investigators will come out, and then everything will blow up at once. ”

The territorial war Earl Armis preparing for will become a fog if only he knew that Vialov was alive right now. But what I'm after is the complete defeat of the Armies.

Lyca, who was in Linda's arms, approaches me and climbs onto my shoulder.

[Kaiyan, have you been secretly upgrading your intelligence? You seem to be getting better all of a sudden!]

‘I spent a lot of time in Cartier territory. ’

All of this was made possible thanks to Baran and Foil, who taught us about the nobles' ecology and behavior. When I learned about nobles, I naturally learned why they did what they did and what they disliked.

Things you didn't know until you knew Baran. Should I say it looks as good as I know it?

“Linda, you said the Mareon Empire approved the treaty to assassinate nobles, right? ”

“Oh, yes! Officials have checked, but it usually takes less than three days for the temporary authorization to go through. which, of course, doesn't necessarily lead to an immediate war because of the disapproval. ”

“Hmm... The Armies will attack as soon as the approval is passed." They won't be able to hide evidence of what they did until they clear you up before the investigation team does. ”

Those bastards tried to wage a war against Vialov. That's why Earl Armis can't miss this opportunity. Perhaps as soon as approval is passed, an army will be led to march on Markain territory.

“It's time for us to move on. Linda, you ask him to send the army he promised you within three days. He asks you to keep in mind that Earl Armis should never know that the destination is Markain territory. ”

“Yes! But what if they ask me if I really killed Vialov?" If he really did kill her, giving her the rights to the gold mine isn't going to help. ”

This is the guy Linda and I were talking about, who will keep the Markains safe, my first plan. And now he's not only a family safety, but also a reliable ally who can do tremendous damage to the Armis family.

“Say no. And what's wrong with a guy who eats gold mines? ”

The one who promised to help us is Earl Biraxar, one of the great lords of the western Mareon Empire.

On the first day of arrival at Markain territory, I gathered the officers and heard all about the surrounding territory. About which one follows which noble and which one is real.

The result is Earl Biraxhar.

He did not get along well with Earl Armis because he followed the Duke of Molsen, a lord other than the late Lord of Camdia to the west. For the Markayne family, he's perfect for a grip.

But I offered him a deal because he couldn't help Markayn. If you help us, I will give you the rights to the newly discovered gold mine.

“But Linda, are you sure you're okay with this? Can I give you the gold mine? ”

“Yes, I'm fine. The Baron's family is powerless, and this is the only problem that keeps happening. ”

All of this was possible because of Linda's bold choice that was not greedy.

If the other nobles heard about it, they might say it's foolish, but gold mining isn't that important to Linda who has lived like a commoner in Manislan.

“Good. Let's do it right then. ”

[Kaiyan, you look excited. Am I mistaken? Obviously, he was very annoyed just when he took on his first job...]

Rieka's right. I was frankly annoyed when Linda asked me for the first time. Besides, we'll be too late to get to Antigas.

‘But not now. ’

Avenge Linda's family. And the pleasure of giving Earl Armis a beating.

An Earl who wouldn't dare look at me again, what chance do I have to give the Earl of the Empire a shot at the way I planned with my own hands?

‘You'd be a fool to miss this opportunity. ’

I thought my growth stopped when I came out of the monster's residence, but it didn't.

At that time, the power remains the same, but the mind and spirit are growing to an unparalleled extent.

Knng.

Looking at his fist tightly, I feel confident that I can get through anything that happens.

“I won't let you go after the Markains again. ”
