66 – 18. Change (2)
“That man was more of a problem than I thought.”
The moment she heard those words from Etria, Karina was very confused inside.
Even though Shien kept saying that he was okay and that he was someone he could trust.
No matter how much you dig, how can you trust someone who has no past?
As if it had been cut with a knife, without even a trace.
It was suspicious, but it took so much to my heart.
Cien and the man named Adele are not normal either.
For now, he left it to Lichtenau and was concentrating on his work.
But suddenly I hear that Adele has a lot of problems.
Naturally, I couldn’t help but think of the face of my old friend Shien.
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden.”
Of course, as a top lord, as one of the focal points of the demons.
Karina is wise and very quick-witted.
There was no way Etria could easily show the kind of reaction she wanted.
“There must be a lot of problems. Because he’s the one who got Fiore into trouble.”
I’m saying it back, but there’s something happened to Adele.
Isn’t this how I’m conveying strange things about Adele?
Karina was in the middle of asking Etria.
However, Etria was still not an ordinary woman.
As if to prove that simply because she is the only daughter of a family head, she is not being discussed as a family head.
He opened his mouth in a very relaxed yet powerful tone.
“that’s right. Fiore’s prestige fell because of that man. I too have been in trouble. So I researched. What on earth was that man’s identity, and was it that much? Where did a person with such skills suddenly fall?”
“… .”
At those words, Karina quickly grasped Fiore’s ability to gather information.
For now, according to Fiore’s information he confirmed.
They, too, have a clear intelligence gathering group under their command.
And that level is also very good, that’s what I know.
If Lichtenauer showed a biased image, leaning a little too heavily on swordsmanship.
Fiore was a master of swordsmanship and did not forget that he was an aristocratic family who had to step into politics.
The proof was his ability to gather information.
“A lot of it was covered in veils. I still haven’t figured out a lot of it. However, one thing is for sure, it is never a good person.”
“… How do you believe that? And it’s strange why you’re telling me such a story.”
“I will make it clear. I hate Lichtenauer’s patriarch. As an aristocrat, as the owner of a famous swordsmanship family, he kept showing an appearance that was hardly suitable. From the past when he ran away without even protecting the honor of a nobleman until now. It’s like being tricked by a guy who’s hiding his filthy true face.”
“… .”
“I heard that you and Lichtenau can communicate a little, so please let me know. Even if I said it, it’s obvious that not even the seeds will work, right? Please don’t do anything shameful as a noble like me. Before you get tricked by a strange guy and end up in a bad way.”
Having heard that far, Etria let out a sigh.
From what it sounds like, as an aristocrat like Shien, he seems to be taking care of the pride of that aristocratic group.
It was already clear what the ulterior motive was.
“why. Will you separate Lichtenauer’s family head and his escort? Are you going to have one abandon the other, and then snatch the sword that has since gone unclaimed?”
Isn’t it a very obvious trick?
It doesn’t even work for a five-year-old roaming the side of the road.
Karina shook her head in a way that was absurd.
“It’s something you wouldn’t be able to do as the future head of Fiore.”
“Do you really think so? Am I trying to alienate them?”
“Otherwise, he pointed out information that was not revealed from a clear source, and even suddenly took care of Lichtenauer when he was not the kind of person who would do that. I can’t explain it.”
“Why did I come here if I really meant to? It would be all right if we just spread the word to the nobles and watch them bite Lichtenauer on their own.”
At Etria’s words, Karina shut her mouth.
Come to think of it, she was really right.
If it’s plotting something wrong with Lichtenauer.
It’s enough to just use the aristocratic society without coming to the top like this.
If not, they will gossip and spread rumors on their own, even if you don’t ask.
From nob le mt l. co m
Many people in Lichtenauer are likely to be swayed by it as well.
However, Etria did not choose that number.
Just come to the top and have a personal meeting with yourself.
Say it privately and say it well to your friend.
It was a situation where all he was saying was that.
‘what. What the hell is this woman thinking?’
Are you really trying to tarnish the honor of that class as a noble?
Not anyone else, but that Etria? That demon hater?
‘There’s something. I smell it.’
After thinking for a while, Karina slowly opened her mouth.
“I’ll tell you later when I think about it. Is it okay?”
“Please take care of me. Lichtenauer keeps doing things that don’t look like nobles.”
Etria got up from her seat as if her business was over.
She waved her hand once, opened the door, and disappeared beyond.
“… .”
Karina, who was left alone, clicked her tongue with a tsk.
I don’t believe a single word of that annoying woman.
But the part where you don’t know anything about Adele.
It was true that there were inevitably worries and doubts.
No matter how much I look for it and look for it again and find it again and again.
Nothing was known about his past or surroundings.
If this is the case, then, of course, you will have a lot of thoughts.
‘What the hell. What did you really find out? Is the man named Adele really cheating on Shien and sticking by her side aiming for something? Ah, f*ck! driving me crazy!’
Even if it’s not, I’m very busy with work at the top, and I’m just as annoyed.
As things like this overlapped, swear words flowed out in a row.
* * *
“Let’s go, Captain Karad.”
Etria climbed out of the upper building and climbed into the carriage.
After that, ‘Ah, the disgusting demonic smell.’ grumbled and opened the window.
I endured it again and again to hide the tea I didn’t like somehow.
Now that you’re out of the upper building, you can be annoyed with peace of mind.
“Did the story end well?”
Before closing the door, Captain Karad quietly opens his mouth.
At that, Etria shrugged once.
“There is nothing to talk about. It’s because we just explored with each other standing on edge.”
“It looks like you’ve said everything you want to say.”
“That’s it. Now, whatever it is, you must act once.”
Having said that, Etria turned her head.
Of course, everything he said to the leader of the Legram upper house was a lie.
It’s safe to say that we didn’t find out anything about Adele.
I need to know the past to make an analogy, but I can’t figure it out.
Even those who were collecting information disappeared.
I wondered if it was a little late because they were secretive people from the beginning.
It disappeared like smoke without leaving a trace.
‘At first, I doubted that Lichtenauer was like that.’
Liechtenauer’s ability to gather information is relatively low.
That means that the part aimed at counterintelligence is bound to be weak.
Looking at the level, I couldn’t touch Fiore’s intelligence corps.
‘It’s full of strange things. There are so many things I don’t understand.’
If he had just wanted to keep things in check, he wouldn’t have gone this far.
Etria wanted to get her hands on that man named Adele.
If I can only take that person and make him my own person, everything will be perfect.
One’s blemish rather becomes the best moment to shine oneself.
On top of that, you can also feed Lichtenauer once more.
It’s because that great talent has been taken away with their eyes open.
‘But even that, in the end, you need to know who that Adele is to decide.’
Looking at it, Karina doesn’t seem to know anything either.
Considering that the upper leg of the leg is very good.
It is correct to assume that there is really little information about Adele.
Otherwise, there is only one way left.
It is to shake the place with the source of that information.
‘Lichtenauer. Just shake the cien. If he knew anything, he would surely say some of them to put other people’s concerns to rest. If she doesn’t know, I’ll go ahead and ask Adele. Information is needed. I need that kind of information to help me make a decision.’
Next month, he will officially take the position of head of Fiore.
Until then, if possible, I wanted to acquire the sword called Adele.
To place the one who will become the greatest sword under his command at his own time.
Isn’t that a story that will continue to be talked about even after a thousand years?
Even if Karina and the upper column didn’t move, it wouldn’t matter.
He had already cast doubt on one of Liechtenauer’s staunchest supporters.
In this case, knowing Fiore’s strengths well will be a problem.
He would suspect that he might have found out something in Fiore.
“… Then I will come back.”
After closing the carriage door, Karad climbed onto the horse.
As he passed the boulevard, he fell into thought for a moment.
‘It seems that he covets that man very much.’
The part of Lichtenauer’s valet is not a problem.
That’s because it can be overturned with the mind of that man named Adele.
Rather, the problem is that I don’t know anything about him.
Isn’t it impossible to bring an unknown person into the family?
So I’m trying to find out something about Adele like this.
Even throwing numbers like this was to achieve what he wanted.
Certainly, if I could bring that Adele to Fiore.
A monster that even you can’t do anything about will come out.
Perhaps it could become the best sword in the empire and represent the glory of Fiore.
‘But why are you so anxious?’
Even if you’re jealous of that innocent young friend.
Or do you feel a sense of crisis?
Captain Karad couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
