120 – Feast of Stars 1
“Thank you for your effort.”
“you… yes?”
Immediately after reporting the failure of the mission, Blood and Soul were prepared to receive punishment along with a more detailed inquiry.
However, in their ears, an unexpected answer came from their point of view.
“You went all the way and had a hard time dealing with my personal affairs. Please go back and rest.”
“Ha..but..”
“Anything else you want to say?”
“Ah… no.”
“Go…Thank you, Duke.”
At Catlena’s words, the two of them couldn’t bear to ask anything further and had no choice but to withdraw.
From their point of view, Catlena’s attitude was like actually turning a blind eye to the failure of their mission.
As there is no need to say more about this, they bowed their heads and quietly left their owners.
‘It’s fortunate that you forgave me without saying much, but…’
‘Still, it’s very embarrassing. Is it really okay as it is?’
The fact that the result of the unprecedented mission failure ended quite blandly made the two feel even more uncomfortable.
However, depending on what you think, you can see that you’ve done well until now and you’ve overlooked one mistake, so the two of you think it’s best to accept the owner’s ‘favor’, and leave the lord’s castle and step back to their mansion. moved
“Come to think of it… is it okay if I don’t have to look at that woman named Freddy?”
“Oh right. Come to think of it… Shall I go and tell you right now?”
To be honest, it was an issue that I was holding back because of the pressure to report failure.
Regarding this, Soul thought about going back to the lord’s castle, but Blood thought about it for a while and shook his head.
“No.. If you think about it, it doesn’t seem necessary. The beginning was a little rough, but in the end, you made a choice, and you accepted it and became a disciple.”
“Umm… well, that’s the case, too, if the process went like that, there wouldn’t be anything particularly flawed about it.”
The case is nothing special except that it was originally brought from Bohemia.
On top of that, it might have been rude to report such a trivial matter to the already busy owner, if I hadn’t already talked about it additionally.
So, although I don’t know the context, the two of them started moving toward the house, relieved that they had taken a breather.
While thinking that I want to quickly teach this and that to the ‘new disciple’ waiting there.

“after..”
Duke Catlena sat alone with a small sigh.
Even though Blood and Soul, who had carried out the work, were sent back, at this moment, thoughts about the series of events still occupied a place in her head.
‘Blood… why is she…’
Blood, who talked about his failure while showing his injuries
Hearing her words like this, the Duchess really started to feel that another unexpected variable was making her head complicated.
‘A man from a paladin who had just learned magic pushed Blood to that extent? No matter how much, there’s no way something like that would be possible…’
10th grade witch, Blood Mary.
Even within the Dragona Empire, the headquarters of witches and mages, there were less than 10 people who could beat her, and even if you broaden your horizons to the vast empire, it wasn’t much different.
Of course, combat always comes with variables.
There was a good chance that he was attacked unexpectedly, or that he was defeated due to the unlucky difference in compatibility due to the nature of magic.
However, no matter how talented a monster was, there was always a degree of difference.

Not someone like Count Thurn, but being beaten by a young, novice wizard…
It made the duke have the idea that these words could not be taken literally.
‘But if that’s the case, Blood is telling me lies… That’s just plain nonsense. Why did Blood, no one else, say such a thing?’
It was a blood that possessed tremendous combat power worthy of a 10th grade witch, and decidedly had a disposition not to listen to anything other than the words of a person he recognized.
It is not easy to even make them submit with simple methods,
An existence that does not blink an eye at clumsy negotiations or threats.
In that respect…
Duke Catlena concluded that it was impossible to make a figure like Santana of Bohemia, let alone the Count of Thurn, speak to her like this.
‘There is something. Even though I can’t be sure of anything as there is still an extremely lack of information… There is definitely something very important behind this that I don’t know.’
Duke Catlena, fully aware that the situation was suspicious.
However, she was also well aware that she could not delve into the situation now.
One was because she knew very well that if Blood was hiding the truth from him, there was a reason for that too.
Keeping her mouth shut even to her, not to anyone else, means that there is a high possibility that there is something she can’t do with her ability.
It was clear that she would be in an awkward situation in many ways if she tried to dig it up right now, if not later.
Blood knows this too, so it must be hiding the fact.
And another reason, ironically, is that now she is in a position where she should not dig up and turn Bohemia upside down.
The news that came to her really suddenly…
that. It was about the sudden change of tone of Emperor Roseveta, who had been concentrating only on the affairs of the East.
‘Preparing support for Bohemia.. Why did you suddenly change your mind in this way?’
In the meantime, Emperor Roseveta forbade me to get involved in the affairs of the western continent.
Although Duke Catlena felt suspicious about her instructions, she couldn’t help but follow them at the same time.
As the fact that she hadn’t tried to work with them in the first place was because of the emperor’s will, it was the right thing to do if the emperor withdrew it.
And in that respect, it could be seen that Bloody and Soul failed in their mission this time, perhaps very fortunately.
In the worst case, at the same time as the Emperor’s order came, Duke Catlena might have been forced to find herself in an awkward situation with the man named Santana who was supposed to be in front of her eyes.
‘In the worst case, I might have been in an awkward position because of that guy who became a slut in front of me..’
Anyway, her position now is to help Bohemia, who was building hostility according to the emperor’s will.
And for this…
Duke Catlena came to think of a person who could be called the right person if it happened to be the right person.
‘Is there anything I can do about it now that it’s like this? There are some unpleasant parts in many ways, but I have no choice but to move Cazeros..’
His youngest daughter, and in fact the only person with whom he has any acquaintance with Bohemia.
Although he was a child who did not listen to anyone who looked like him, apart from that, he was a child with a strong sense of responsibility, and at the same time, the duke knew very well that if he entrusted him with this task because of his stubbornness, he would surely do well.
Of course, aside from that, I didn’t really like the circumstances.
‘No matter how much you think about it… it’s clear that this kid did something. Even if they look like that, there is a corner where they don’t cover the means and methods for the purpose of who they resemble.’
There is no confirmation, but the situation is quite strong.
And if this is true, it also means that Cazeros moved the emperor through a certain story, and in this regard, the duke, as a mother, began to feel as if a slight smile appeared on her lips without realizing it.
‘He seemed to have no interest in this kind of thing… is it that he has unexpected abilities?’
With such thoughts in mind, the duke thought about how to proceed with his daughter’s future under the emperor’s instructions.
And the beginning, as the emperor said, was to be held at the wedding of the Grand Duke of Catan.
Through contact with a woman named Estelle from Rhapsody who was supposed to come here.
