2nd Round Villain

166 – An Unsolved Case – 2

The investigation continued. However, no matter how much the police searched the academy, they couldn’t find anything.

In the first place, students don’t even carry guns. What the academy teaches are weapons like swords, spears, and weapons that are good for mana and energy. It is the army that teaches bayonet art.

The only gun found in Isaac’s room, the history teacher, turned out to be nothing more than a hunting shotgun. It had nothing to do with the air gun that killed Veronica.

But here, there were two people guessing the culprit of the murder.

‘Yeah, that’s fun too. Is it really Oscar? An unknown murder case that took place in the middle of the night. Shall I try something like that next time? If you do it too often, the archangels will notice you.’

The first was the great devil, Satan, who was playing in the academy.

‘Crazy Joker bastard. No matter how crazy you are, murder in the middle of the academy!? sh*t… ! Even if you know the culprit, you can’t stop it… !’

The other was Frey de Siegfried, a warrior from a previous life.

Frey’s hands trembled with anger. He wanted to swing his sword and rush at Evans right away.

Of course, there was no way that would work. So Frey stayed still. That wasn’t the only reason.

If Frey, who has the status of a warrior, pointed out Evans, he might be able to arrest Evans. But it shouldn’t be like that.

Evans should be in the academy. Stay with Maria at the academy and be reformed.

That way, even if Evans defeats Kanos later, the sun can shine on the world after that.

‘Damn it, damn it! A poor life… !’

Awesome-.

Blood dripped from his bitten tongue.

It is a situation where we have to stand by the sacrifices of a minority to prevent a catastrophe of the majority. how painful is this

Suddenly, Frey wondered what choice Maria would have made had she been in the same situation as him.

This has happened in my past life as well.

When the army’s tank units were isolated in the middle of the Demon King’s army. It was a situation that, of course, had to be abandoned if judged rationally. In order not to suffer more damage, Frey made the choice to abandon them even though they were warriors.

But Maria didn’t. She rushed into the Demon King’s army alone and succeeded in rescuing the chariot unit by creating a story like a lie.

The emotion Frey felt at that time was, wonder. Awe. trust.

When I tricked the Joker in Tartarus in the past, it was disguised as ugly jealousy.

*****

A murder has occurred at the academy.

It was the most shocking event of the 18 years that Maria had been through so far.

Maria was a girl who had never experienced so much trauma in her life, let alone death. Death and corpse suddenly came to her. Although it hadn’t happened to anyone she knew, Maria’s head quickly turned white.

“Huh… Uh, how did that happen… .”

Maria instinctively wanted to rely on the person next to her. It’s because the strength of the legs has been completely released.

Maria’s hand touched someone’s shoulder.

“Saint.”

Someone standing next to her called out to Maria in a low voice.

“Wow, Her Highness the Princess… ?”

The identity of someone was the imperial princess Albrecht.

They were roommates who came out of the same room after hearing a commotion, so they stuck together.

Maria realized what insolence she had committed during that bestiality. The moment you hurriedly let go.

“Wait, I need to explain a little bit.”

“yes yes?”

“Don’t feel bad about it. The reason lies with you.”

widely-.

Albrecht’s white hand grabbed Maria’s wrist. Maria’s mind was full of question marks.

“Vilmi? me?”

“Yes, you. virgin mary. do not worry. I won’t report it without knowing the details. However, an explanation must be given.”

“Hey, do you mean an explanation? Did I do anything wrong?”

“… Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”

Albrecht tries to continue the investigation. However, being conscious of his surroundings, Albrecht looked around at the students densely packed to his left and right.

Albrecht pulled Maria’s wrist and led her with strides. Maria was taken away without knowing why.

The place Albrecht headed was a bench in Academy Park. Albrecht sat Maria there. Then, after sitting next to him, he asked a question in a low voice.

“I mean, where were you last night?”

“Where am I going… ? I fell asleep while reading a book next to Your Highness last night… !”

“hmm… ? What kind of trick was it? Saint, didn’t you go out through the window last night too? No matter how much I don’t care about you, I can’t overlook the murder case.”

“Yes, yes, yes? Did I go out? By jumping through the window?”

At the shocking news, Maria’s mouth fell open.

Albrecht, who was watching, wondered if this child was sane. Deeper doubts lingered in the golden eyes of the princess with thick dark circles.

“Your acting skills are great. But didn’t you go out of the dorm every night? Are you going to pretend that you don’t know while you’re asking permission from the original girl?”

“Oh, that can’t be… Apparently, it was written in the notebook that I only slept after reading a book in the dormitory… what, what… ? Did it even create a new personality… ?”

“… ?”

Among them, Albrecht had a hunch that something was out of the ordinary. she asked.

“personality? Are you trying to say that you have a dual personality?”

“oh… ! that, that… !”

Maria waved her hand and tried to object. However, since he had already been caught, it was not a good idea to just hide it. Especially if the opponent is the princess who is with her day and night.

“actually… yes that’s right. Actually, I have a double personality… .”

Maria lowered her head and said as if confessing.

Albrecht was not particularly surprised. Instead, he shook his head.

“It’s a double personality… Is there a difference between the personality of the night and the personality of the day?”

“yes… .”

“It seems that personalities change periodically. Times change between 8:00 in the morning and 8:00 in the evening. Is that right?”

“Uh, how did you… ! Could it be that you knew from the beginning?”

“I just realized. You suddenly stop at 8 o’clock and the prayers around you change, so how can you not know unless you are a very insensitive person?”

“omg… !”

Maria could not hide her surprise at the words poking through each and every detail. It was indeed a great memory and reasoning power.

“You always wrote something down in your notebook before 8:00. After 8 o’clock, you go out the window and head somewhere. The original woman, who has no interest in it, did not interfere while lying on the bed, but if it was a murder case, the story would be different.”

“That word… Bar, are you saying that I of the night could have committed murder? no way! For what reason!”

“I don’t know. One, look at the situation. Except for the security, no one in the academy ever went outside, but only you did. It’s an air gun, maybe it’s hidden somewhere.”

“omg… !”

“Even if you didn’t commit the murder yourself, you might have seen or heard something. Killing people in the dormitory and moving the bodies to the outer wall of the main building would have attracted quite a bit of attention.”

It was an argument based on logic. Maria couldn’t find anything to refute.

In fact, there was no reason to object. Because Maria had no idea what she was like at night. I just believe in what is written in my notebook, the window of communication.

“no way… Really the me of the night… .”

“It is too soon to conclude. Whatever the situation, I didn’t see an air gun from you. Also, when you returned, there was no smell of blood coming from your body.”

“What time did you come back? I am?”

“I left at 8pm and came back after 7am. I mean, I was out for about 11 hours. I begged the bonnyeo for her understanding. It seems like I didn’t report it to you.”

“Eww… I had no idea… .”

Although, it’s the personality of the night that I’ve never had a conversation with.

Maria was vaguely aware of her disposition. Ever since she was a child, people who have watched her have said, ‘Is Maria immersed in reading at night? It’s because he complimented me, “be quiet.” Thanks to that, Maria was able to infer that the night herself was a quiet and intelligent person.

That’s why what happened now was even more shocking.

Even if he wasn’t involved in the academy murder case at night, he went in and out of the academy without even saying a word to himself.

That fact alone was enough to make me feel betrayed. It was all the more so because Maria had been reporting her entire life without hiding it to Maria of the night.

“Why, why is that… ? Did I do something dishonest… ?”

“… .”

“Your Highness, may I ask you a favor? The only person at the academy who knows about my double personality is Her Highness… .”

Maria carefully opened her mouth.

Albrecht had the dignity of a man of power who commanded people. It was easier said than done to ask her out.

“What is it?”

“That, that… Can you find out where I am going at night?”

It was a very cautious request.

“Sure.”

Whatever the idea, Albrecht accepted it very readily.

“yes yes? really?”

“Is there any reason not to? The original woman was also curious about it, so let’s find out right now.”
