How can the gentle passing of time feel so strangely uncomfortable?
Realizing that about a week had already passed, Ferzen quietly drank tea and watched the scenery outside the window.
“… … ”
At that time, a carriage stopped in front of the door of the mansion… …
widely.
Ferzen put down the teacup she was holding and got up from her seat.
It was the officials of the Imperial Palace who got off from the inside of the carriage door that opened.
If they had a business to come to find them, there would be only one.
Yes, at last, the inspection of the materials brought from the Claudia family has been completed, and they must have come to report the results.
At that, Ferzen turned and went down to the first floor, and came directly in front of them.
Since the matter is a matter, there is no time to relax and enjoy a cup of tea.
“Ah, hello. Count Ruerg.”
“It has become a façade. You must have something to report to me.”
“Yes… … ! not though… … ”
Ferzen accepted it as he watched the officials of the imperial palace taking out a fairly thick bundle of papers and handing it over to him.
“At first, it seemed that no one else was involved in this rebellion by colluding with the Claudias.”
“is it.”
To be honest, Ferzen was also expecting this part.
If it were a normal head hanging from the neck, there would be no way he would join the unlikely rebellion without going crazy.
However, Ferzen, who was quickly turning over the documents, stopped at the items related to Lizzie.
once.
twice.
third time.
Even after reading it dozens of times, the contents of the document do not change.
At that, Ferzen opened his mouth, staring intently at the officials in front of him.
“Is this true?”
“Yes?”
Wanting to see where on earth Ferzen would show this kind of reaction, the bureaucrat with a claw glance glanced at the item Ferzen was reading and said, “Ah… … ” he made a face.
“Yes. From what we’ve investigated, it’s definitely true.”
“… … ”
Judging by the fact that they even add the word that they are certain, it must mean that there is evidence that can be proved.
Nevertheless, Ferzen couldn’t believe what was written in this report… …
“Eupemia. Yuriel.”
Shake!
One by two, wondering what was going on, he opened his mouth as he looked around the girls who were gathering to his place.
“Let me go to the Imperial Palace for a while.”
Ferzen, who did not even wait for their reply, turned around and proceeded.
In response, the officials of the Imperial Palace bowed down to Euphemia and Yuriel on behalf of Ferzen, and followed Ferzen, who hurriedly ahead.
There was only one important information about Lizzy that was written in the report.
That she was trying to let her family know in advance that she was planning a rebellion.
However, Ferzen knew all too well what the Claudia family’s love was, so he could intuit that what was written in the report was a lie.
No, this is not the realm of the senses.
It would have been nice to say for sure.
Had she had the relentless determination to survive, even abandoning her family, she would not have revealed her teeth to herself in the first place.
‘okay… … This is Loer, Cesar. Is this the last arrangement you guys have prepared?’
In order to prevent Lizzy from being buried in the sinking ship, secretly set up a sculpting boat to evacuate her.
To be honest, if it was enough to deceive the eyes of bureaucrats who stayed up for several days and a few nights, who were only obsessed with inspections, then the level of perfection would be that high.
However, Fersen was convinced that this was a self-made play by Loer and Cesar, so he believed that if he dig deeper, he would surely find a contradiction.
Of course, someone might say that this is not enough to just close your eyes.
In reality, Lizzy was only in the position of the perfect victim.
But we will have to wait and see how she survives alone, leads a lonely life, and ends her life after a painful day… …
Ferzen wanted to cut all the knots with his own hands and burn them.
When he had a chance, he wanted to erase all the forms of sin he left behind from this world.
I didn’t want to give any room for that when I had to live with discomfort in a corner of my heart and feeling a faint sense of guilt every time.
Yes, in the end, he wants to be comfortable with himself, so he gets his hands dirty once more.
In the first place, the act of showing mercy and compassion for the other person is not a good look for a villain.
As soon as the bureaucrats who got on the wagon following him were just watching them secretly, Ferzen leaned back comfortably and uttered a word.
“Branch.”
“Yes… … yes! All right!”
Hey!
With the loud cries of horses, the carriage that had stopped at the front gate proceeded to the Imperial Palace.
* * * * *
“It is here.”
Arriving at the imperial family, following the guidance of the officials, Ferzen arrived at the place where the evidence was kept, took off his robe and started re-inspection.
First, when sorted by period, he bows down in front of the corpse of a mercenary, which can be said to be the first, and radiates magical energy to work.
… … My name is Jennifer.
According to the report, she received a letter from Lizzy and was commissioned to deliver it.
‘Looking at the period… … That’s when.’
Daily unconscious habits common to men and women, and people of each gender.
When I was given the task for the first time to investigate it, if I had reached out to the mercenaries, there was nothing strange about the movement.
There was no way to know whether she had asked the servants working in the family only with the assignment she received in the first place, or whether she had collected the data through other routes.
Instead, it meant that it was an alibi that was easy to manipulate.
In fact, when I tried to receive feedback regarding Lizzy’s appearance and characteristics, it was not received, so it is difficult to judge that this mercenary’s client is Lizzy.
How can we rule out the possibility that Loerna Cesar performed a self-made play through a third party?
However, despite this, the mercenary’s body can be said to be part of solid evidence because the contents of the letter remained in memory.
Even the mercenary died while taking on the route of delivering the letter and the mission that could be performed along the way… …
Officials were predicting that the mission’s client was likely Cesar.
Because we did not receive feedback on this information from Loer’s supply and demand.
But why did he draw a picture of asking a mercenary who was at risk?
Although the mercenaries receive quests such as delivering letters, they often open and check the contents on the way, so they usually leave it to the top even if the price is a little higher.
Of course, the contents of the letter contained in the memory of this dead mercenary did say that he had no choice but to take the risk as there was surveillance.
The memory itself of paying close attention to Lizzie in Loer’s supply and demand did not provide feedback, so it will probably be reflected that the supervisor is also Cesar.
It was not unusual for a mercenary to die while on a mission, so it must have been difficult for Lizzie to have confidence in whether her family had noticed or not.
In fact, there was a period of two months between this first evidence and the next second evidence, so the officials must have accepted that Lizzy was taking care of herself.
To be sure, if you look up to this point, the level of perfection is very high.
In particular, the picture is drawn that Loer had been away from the family for a long time as a Knights Templar belonging to the imperial family, and that Cesar was the only one who was vaguely aware of Lizzie’s rebellion… …
The amount of information that can be obtained from the already dead body of Loer is limited.
“hahaha… … ”
It’s a script that really makes me cry, isn’t it?
Undoubtedly, to the bureaucrats, the younger sister trying to inform the rebellion of the family, and the family who tried to cover it up with death could not silence it.
“… … good to go out I’ll let you stay a little longer, so just give the maids a cup of tea for you.”
“All right!”
Like a stone statue, the officials standing behind Ferzen exhaled and quickly exited the stuffy room.
And Ferzen sat down in a chair, quietly took the report that had been set aside, and began to read it in detail.
Officials are not fools, either, so this might not have been a device to get the younger sister out of the crime of rebellion.
In fact, the fact that Lizzie had prepared an arrangement to be free from the charge of rebellion from Loer’s supply and demand was the feedback.
However, there was no feedback on the fact that it was intended to inform the rebellion in advance.
Yes, if it had progressed so far.
In fact, Lizzy’s life could be guaranteed just by that.
However, Fersen here was convinced that Loer had deliberately limited the information given to him.
Unlike the officials in the Imperial Palace, Ferzen knew that all of these evidences were an arrangement for Lizzie… …
The fact that the information was not fed back from Loer’s supply and demand means that he trusted Cesar in the first place and the detailed information was not intentionally shared.
“This… … It makes no sense.”
Among the evidence, there was actually a letter from Lizzie, but the handwriting can be imitated.
‘Anything to admit, should I admit it?’
He was certain he had a heart attack, but the evidence given was preventing him from substantiating his heart attack.
However, this is only limited to the evidence given so far.
Even if he intentionally restricted information on Loer, it would be difficult for Cesar himself to do so.
Even if it was perfect up to this point, Lizzie had no choice but to be executed after Cesar himself was executed as soon as the memory that this was a self-made play was fed back from the body.
“Really, it’s a ridiculous move.”
Looking at Loer’s head with his eyes closed, Ferzen let out a weak smirk.
‘Perhaps Cesar himself has his own countermeasures.’
If I had to break it down into steps, this would be just step one.
The thing that gave me the most strength was probably the body of Cesar himself, the second stage that would be the key.
Then, even if it looks perfect on the outside, the easiest way to find a loophole is probably the first step.
‘okay… … ‘
Until the very end, please don’t let me hang out with you anywhere.
Undoing the tie that seemed to suffocate his neck, Ferzen began to spend the night with his papers in hand.
