“father!”

The door to Harold’s office swung open.

Harold frowned at the outrageous thing.

His daughter, Vivian, came into the office with spirits.

“Why did you catch those innocent people and put them in a dungeon?!”

“What is this without education?”

“Don’t turn around!”

“Hmm.”

Harold put down the paper he was looking at.

“How do you know whether they are innocent or not?”

“That, that… … !”

“All those who attacked used dark magic using magical powers. That is why we are investigating people with magical powers as potential suspects. The trial hasn’t even been held yet, so don’t be arrogant. If they are really innocent, they will be released.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian, who had only bit her lip, lifted her head.

And I looked at Harold.

“Do you think I’ll be quiet like this?”

“So you, do you think that I have no idea why you are doing this?”

At first, it was just a suspicion.

But Harold was convinced by the attitude of his daughter, angry at the capture of the remnants of the Empire.

That my daughter also has magical powers.

Harold’s sharp eyes turned to Vivian.

“… … !”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian was speechless and tried to leave the place.

That was then.

“Sorry for visiting without contact.”

Ethan came in through the open door.

The servants of the mansion, restless, bowed their heads to Harold.

As a priest, he would not have been able to treat him recklessly.

Harold waved his hand and bit the servants.

Ethan sensed the chilly atmosphere around the office and said:

“Looks like I came at a bad time.”

“Tell me something.”

“We have finished the trial of those who were arrested as suspects in the aristocratic raid.”

“What does that mean?”

Harold frowned.

It was because Ethan did not understand what he was saying.

Meanwhile, Vivian, who was still there, was dizzy at Ethan’s words.

‘Is the trial over?’

Edan’s attire was the pure white priest’s uniform of the Pars Church.

Therefore, the only trial in which the priest could be involved was the divine trial.

‘You mean those innocent people are dead?’

Vivian couldn’t stand it and asked Ethan.

“Did you really kill those people?”

But Ethan did not respond to Vivian’s words.

Then Vivian looked at Ethan sharply.

‘If a priest had attacked, there would be no way for my father to remain so quiet. If it’s a high-ranking priest who can’t even treat his father rudely… … .’

It was then that Vivian realized Ethan’s identity.

‘Saint Candidate!’

She was the topic of discussion in Velium by reviving the princess who was poisoned by an unknown poison.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian licked her lips.

“How can a man with the name of a saint candidate brutally kill innocent people without recognizing anything!”

Even if he misunderstood something, he seemed to have misunderstood.

To Vivian’s accusation, Ethan responded bluntly.

“What do you mean by killing people?”

“I beg your pardon?”

Ethan ignored Vivian and looked at Harold.

“As I say in advance, the divine trial was strictly conducted with the permission of the Crown Princess. Therefore, it is clearly stated that there was no excess of the Pars Church.”

“The Crown Princess is still immature in judgment. So I am still regent. But is it sane to proceed with a divine trial only with the approval of the Imperial Princess?”

“Are you immature? On the way to this place from Nouvelle City, I had been watching Her Majesty the Crown Princess, but I didn’t feel that way at all. Moreover, the Imperial Princess is the orthodox heir of the new empire. Are you going to overthrow his accreditation?”

“ね.”

That was correct.

If Harold had obtained the Princess’s approval, Harold could not overturn the Princess’s decision.

Harold looked at Ethan.

It was a gaze that could make anyone’s throat tingle, but Ethan didn’t blink.

“The business ends with this. Then come on.”

Ethan left the room.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian looked at Ethan and Harold alternately with a puzzled look.

Harold rubbed his forehead with a hand and wiped his anger.

Then he gave a congratulatory order to Vivian.

“Things went the way you wanted. So, just go out.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian came out of the office with a bewildered face.

At first, I didn’t understand the conversation between the two.

However.

– What do you mean by killing people?

– Things went the way you wanted them to.

I was very surprised when I remembered the words of Ethan and Harold.

‘The Priest of the Pars Church, and even the Saint Candidates, freed people with magical powers?’

* * *

Meanwhile, the princess’s private palace.

Cynthia greeted Ethan who came to the room.

Her face, which had recovered to some extent, was as bright as a flower bloomed.

“Come closer and sit down.”

Ethan sat down on a chair near Cynthia’s bed.

Cynthia looked at Ethan’s face.

“How did you go? How’s your uncle’s reaction?”

“You said you would know.”

Cynthia tilted her head.

He wasn’t the kind of person who could barely comprehend, but it was strange.

“Then I’m happy. I, but did I say this?”

“What do you mean?”

“I think I haven’t been able to say thank you to you because I’ve been so busy. Thank you so much. I survived thanks to you.”

“I just kept my promise.”

It was not done purely for Cynthia, so Ethan was blunt.

But Cynthia didn’t think so.

The way he handled the divine trial, and the way he treated himself. Ethan didn’t seem to have any prejudice against magical powers.

‘Besides, even after doing great things, he’s humble rather than arrogant.’

He was a really strange person.

At that moment, Fenrir suddenly climbed onto the bed and sat down next to Cynthia.

Cynthia had a maid beside her to give Fenrir jerky.

“right. I heard that Fenrir helped heal me? It’s so special that I’m bringing snacks. I’m a wolf, so it’s okay, right?”

At Cynthia’s words, Ethan’s face wrinkled slightly.

‘What? did you help? Is it special?’

Even if things are distorted, how can they be distorted like this?

‘That motherf*cker drove me to a limb!’

But it was impossible to reveal it.

Ethan nodded his head with a grin.

“yes. What.”

Ethan looked down at Fenrir.

Fenrir, disguised as a dog, chewed the jerky deliciously.

‘It’s like a disgusting piece of shit.’

Cynthia smiled faintly.

“Anyway, thanks to you, I think I can sleep comfortably after a long time. Thank you so much.”

Even after returning to the Empire after being attacked, Cynthia suffered from the fear that she might die immediately from poison.

But this time, my heart was at peace.

It was all thanks to Ethan.

Ethan smiled and agreed with Cynthia’s words.

“I’m glad you did.”

Cynthia tilted her head with a somewhat meaningful face.

Ethan got up and left the bedroom.

jump!

Fenrir, who was chewing the jerky, jumped out of the bed.

He wants to follow Ethan.

But Ethan beckoned to Fenrir.

“I am here today.”

tilt.

Fenrir tilted his head.

So was Cynthia.

“I’m fine.”

“Fenrir will protect His Majesty. It will help you sleep more comfortably.”

Having said that, Ethan disappeared through the door.

* * *

That night.

A bright moon rose in the night sky.

The moonlight also entered Cynthia’s bedroom.

“Your Majesty, have a peaceful night.”

When the maid left the room, the room became quiet.

Cynthia tried to relax after a long time and go to sleep with a comfortable mind.

That was then.

bruise!

Fenrir’s cry could be heard under Cynthia’s bed.

Cynthia smiled faintly, as if it were a word that grew up well.

‘right. Today, Fenrir is by your side.’

Then, the remaining tension disappeared.

“Fenrir, sleep well too.”

Cynthia muttered like that and closed her eyes.

After a while.

How much time has passed?

The bedroom window shattered out of nowhere.

The masked men who broke the window and entered immediately headed to Cynthia’s bed.

“… … ?!”

Cynthia woke up to the sound of a broken window and was startled.

There were some masked men standing right next to the bed.

“Who are you?!”

“Die all the blood of the fake emperor!”

The black reflected in the moonlight radiated eerie anticipation.

The masked man immediately swung his sword.

“… … !”

Cynthia couldn’t even scream at what had happened unconsciously and her eyes were tightly closed.

growl!

That was then.

Fenrir, who was next to the bed, jumped up.

Fenrir, who was a small puppy, returned to the form of a wolf in an instant with the light.

Slightly smaller than the original appearance.

However, it was the right size to repel the assailant.

Returning to the wolf, Fenrir struck the masked man’s hand with his front paw.

“Ugh!”

The missed sword spins around in the air and is stuck on the floor.

The Masked Man looked at Fenrir while clasping his injured hand.

It was an unbelievable face.

Fenrir did not miss this moment.

Kreung!

Fenrir approached the Masked Man at once.

Then he opened his snout and bit the masked man’s waist at once.

“aah!”

The masked man screamed.

But Fenrir waved back and forth as if to cut off the masked man’s waist.

He also threatened other masked people if they tried to approach Cynthia.

Fenrir’s lips were already stained with red blood.

It was a very cruel appearance as opposed to a cute appearance.

Cynthia kept her mouth shut at the terrible scene.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered what Ethan had said.

– Fenrir will protect His Majesty. It will help you sleep comfortably.

Cynthia opened her eyes.

‘Do you think I’ll be attacked?’

It felt as if cold water was suddenly poured on me.

Ethan has shown her unpaid kindness until now.

Above all, because of detoxifying the nameless poison, Cynthia trusted Ethan very much.

But it felt like being thrown back into the cold reality.

Cynthia slowly lowered her head.

‘okay. Originally, the world I lived in was like this.’

Just as everyone saw and used Cynthia as a tool, so did Ethan.

Isn’t that something you’ve always been through?

Cynthia struggled to comfort herself.

“Ouch, ouch!”

The masked man who failed the attack soon died.

Fenrir, who confirmed the death of the masked man, looked at the remaining masked men and kept Cynthia’s side.

“It’s an intruder!”

“It’s the princess’s bedroom side!”

The sound of soldiers moving outside could be heard.

“Sheesh!”

Sensing that things were wrong, the other masked men escaped through the broken windows.

Only Fenrir stood by Cynthia, who was idly by.

* * *

Ride on!

The soldiers rushed to catch the intruder.

“Hurry up!”

“Never miss an intruder!”

With the torches carried by the soldiers, the Imperial Palace was as bright as broad daylight.

The movements of the soldiers were noisy.

Even Ethan, who was watching Cynthia’s bedroom from afar, could hear the sound.

Ethan stood up.

And with the new magical power in the danjeon, he used ‘human body power reinforcement’ on his legs.

With 4 circle dark magic, it was to strengthen the strength of a specific area.

Ethan started chasing the masked men who were escaping from Cynthia’s bedroom.

“As expected.”

Ethan muttered as he followed the masked man.

The reason Fenrir was with Cynthia in the first place was because he thought that the Dark Followers would attack Cynthia someday.

Attack the princess?

Also in the Imperial Palace?

It was conceptually impossible.

But the opponents were people who could not be judged by common sense alone.

They even attacked the regent, the ruler of the new empire.

So there was no reason not to kill the princess with only her name.

‘It’s an attack right after detoxifying the nameless poison. Still.’

This classic and vicious method was the same as that of the Old Empire a hundred years ago.

Since Cynthia’s poison had been detoxed, it was aimed at the moment when Cynthia herself and everyone around her felt relieved and relaxed.

Ethan grinned.

‘So I could have predicted more easily.’

Ethan quickly arrived behind the masked men.

It was as if he was ignoring the distance he could see.

Ethan slowly spilled magical power and approached the masked people.

‘These guys are using magic anyway, so there’s no need to hide their magic here.’

The masked people sensed the magic and looked back.

Just then, the moon hid behind the clouds, and it was dark everywhere.

“What is that guy?”

For a moment, they couldn’t tell if Ethan was an ally or an enemy.

Just at the same time, a black blade shot from Ethan’s hand like the wind.

Shh!

“Ugh! what?!”

The masked men managed to avoid it.

Ethan again flew a black blade and shot the masked men.

“I worked hard to keep it alive, but you’re trying to turn it into a high school student.”

“damn! Everything is holding me back!”

“Kill!”

And the battle began.
