Before they were killed, they had to kill Aslei first.
That was what the Duke of Atreille proposed to everyone. Let’s make Aslei believe in Frisia’s survival and slowly poison him to death.
The Duke thought that Aslei would even drink the poison willingly. Because he had already fallen into despair and gone crazy.
But then, a gray bird flew in front of him again. It was through a broken window in the palace.
The bird flew in and turned into a halo of light in the air before Aslei, turning into hundreds of letters.
“What—!”
It was a messenger sent by Clarisse. In fact, after Frisia disappeared, she tried to come to her senses and notify Aslei.
However… … .
‘Who is that? So scary!’
When she caught a glimpse of Aslei, who had turned into a murderer and was slaughtering the humans in the imperial palace, she was so shocked that she could not look for him. She only had to use magic to spread the news, but she was terrified she would be tracked and hunted down.
So she spent many days designing, developing, and weaving methods, only seeing the opportunity to pass on the message after concocting a barely traceable spell.
And then she finally seized the opportunity to tell him the news.
Everyone was spellbound and read the words in awe as they spread out in the air.
The moment the Duchess fell into the trap,
It is true that I stepped in and teleported her and the two others.
However, when it was difficult to revive your wife with my magic, the Spirit King appeared,
The Spirit King took the Duchess to the Spirit World along with the other two people.
The Spirit King seemed to want to make a contract with the Duchess.
They will return them to you as soon as her treatment is complete.
It did not detail who saved the Duchess or who the Spirit King was.
Because she was scared.
If Frisia’s return was delayed, she thought she would be grabbed by her collar and strangled, asking why it was so.
Additionally, it was difficult to say for sure because it was Clarisse’s guess about the Spirit King. If she said it was the real Spirit King of Life, her words would be less credible.
‘I can’t believe what I saw, so who would believe me with just a few lines of text?’
In fact, she wanted to say that he was a spirit, not a Spirit King, but if the opponent was a Spirit King, she could suffer great harm if she referred to him as a spirit.
Because spirits were tricky and difficult to judge and understand by human standards.
The Duke of Atreille’s party caught a glimpse and was startled by the magic and words engraved in the air. This is because it was not something they agreed on.
‘Did the Duke prepare that?’
On the other hand, the Duke of Atreille was just as surprised as Aslei. Not only did he not order to do such a thing, but the message was absurd.
Frisia—an Elementalist?! He thought it was something even a gullible child wouldn’t believe.
The Duke was on edge, sure Aslei would now be furious at the shallow trick and swing his sword at them.
“The Spirit King… … . Was that what happened?”
However, Aslei seized the glimmer of hope that Clarisse threw at him. It could have been dismissed as nonsense, but it made perfect sense.
It was possible because of the strange feelings Aslei sensed while staying by Frisia’s side.
He wasn’t sure what set her apart from the others, but he had just realized something from the words the wizard had made appear in the air.
“Frisia is alive.”
Aslei’s eyes, staring blankly at the words in the air, began to get wet.
The Duke of Atreille knew that they had survived a dangerous juncture. Now, all that was left for them to do was to persuade Aslei to wear the golden imperial crown.
Aslei, who believed in Frisia’s survival, became much softer, so they could proceed and get through the meeting much more easily than Duke Atreille anticipated.
