The Tyrant Mistook Me for a Companion

Chapter 94:

 

Edgar took Elle’s hand and lowered his head.
He should have been more careful, but he couldn’t because he was in a hurry.
Besides, he couldn’t even back down because it was the right time.
If he had known that the reaction would be this severe…
Wouldn’t he deal with the duke Sen?
No, he would have continued to threaten Elle’s life.
If either of them did not die, fate would have led to ruin.
Edgar asked El, who had returned.

“Not yet.”

El looked around, but did not feel any sign of Leon.

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

“…He was slow.”

Edgar couldn’t do anything for Elle. Only when Leon come Elle could be calmed down.
Otherwise, he had to call Janice, who had a holy power, but she couldn’t help.
Besides, he has no choice but to wait because he will be in trouble if she find out that they have dealt with Duke Sen.
Edgar rose from his seat and looked nervously at the door.

“Let us wait a little longer, Count.”

“Shall I call a doctor?”

Diria was prepared to run out at any moment with a restless face.
I wouldn’t have been so nervous if I was going to become a lawmaker.
Edgar shook his head.

“Only when Leon comes can we solve it.”

“…Leon?”

Dia looked at the clock. It’s already been an hour since Elle collapsed.

“But if we go on like this…….”

She seemed to be in pain, not enough to groan.
The emptiness in Elle’s face before he collapsed…… Is it the effect of the disappearance of the companion?

“You always surprise me, as always.”

She’s been like that since she was a child. She did something unexpected that made his heart plummet several times a day.
So she’s going to shake it off and wake up today.
Just as he collapsed and couldn’t wake up then, Elle would only do this for a while.
Edgar was desperate.

“Damn it, no more.”

In the end, unable to hold back, he got up from his seat and tried to go towards the door.

“Elle?”

And when Leon, who had been waited for so long, appeared, he got angry.

“What are you doing?”

Leon’s eyes shook at Edgar’s angry voice.

“…Why is everyone doing this?”

It wasn’t what he thought it was.
Elle should have come running and grabbed him by the collar and nagged.

“Why is Elle lying down?”

Leon didn’t understand. She came back after eliminating the original cause of her death.
But why is Elle sleeping with a pale face.
Leon, who hurried up to Elle, took her hand. Then he passed the magic and examined her complexion.

“Please, please.”

He’s never been so desperate.

“Ugh…….”

They heard a better breathing sound than before. Only then did everyone gasp out of relief and slump to the floor.

“Ha.”

“…What the hell did you do?”

Edgar violently grabbed Leon by the collar and got angry.
Leon couldn’t say a word and looked at Edgar with empty eyes.
Even if he cursed at him, he had nothing to say.
He should have run right after he finished his work.
It was difficult to control because he had used too much mana.
He was a little late because he was controlling it.
Elle won’t be able to stand it if I face her in a state of overwhelming mana.

“Stop it both.”

Elle, who got up before he knew it, looked at Leon and Edgar then said.
At her voice, Diria approached Elle, separating the two.

“Are you okay?”

Elle smiled broadly at Diria and nodded.

“It hurt a little, but…I’m fine now. By the way, don’t you two need to talk to me?”

She got out of bed, sweeping her hair.
It was a thin figure that was suffering from pain earlier, but somehow, she looked full of energy.
Edgar and Leon swallowed their dry saliva at the sight.
In a completely different atmosphere from before, Edgar’s shadows disappeared, pretending not to know.
All that remained in the room were Elle, Edgar and Leon.
Diria, who knew nothing, looked at Elle’s body all the time.
She seemed not interested in the air flowing the room.

“Oh, my God, lady, they’ll talk to you later. You two get out!”

At Diria’s words, Edgar and Leon left the door as if they had waited.
Elle reached out and tried to stop them, but lay back on the bed by the power of Diria.

“Well…Diria?”

“Don’t say anything. It’s absolute! Do you know how surprised I was earlier?”

She shook her head in tears.

“Take a rest for the next week! Don’t say anything else. I’m really serious!”

Elle nodded because she had never seen Diria so angry.
Somehow I don’t think I should refute it.

* * *

Eventually, unable to step out of the room, I called Diria while lying on the bed.

“Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“I thought you did what I asked you to do.”

“Sure, of course! I sent a letter to the Verden Jewelry Shop.”

“There’s no answer yet?”

“Maybe he’ll come himself.”

It’s going to take a long time to get here.
I nodded.
It seems that he has something to talk about in person.
Being hungry, I was ready to warmly welcome Verden’s visit.

“What about my father?”

“The count went out because he was busy today as well.”

“He’s too busy these days”

“There’s something wrong with it, miss…… The city is in a mess these days.”

Diria smiled awkwardly, blurring the end of her words.
She do that kind of expression when she’s hiding something from me.

“Diria, are you hiding something from me?”

“Oh, no!”

She shook her head in surprise.
No, it’s so obvious. She won’t answer if I pry her.

“Is there any particular story from the royal family?”

“Yes, he said he wasn’t feeling well, so he postponed the schedule. Instead, I think His Royal Highness is visiting.”

“……The crown prince?”

Will Janice come with him.
I don’t like their visit…….
I thought it would be better to wear accessory just in case.

“When did you say he will come?”

“I heard it’s tomorrow. He will probably meet with the count and go back.”

“Hmm. Really?”

Diria shrugged her shoulders.

‘I wonder what happened to Duke Sen.’

There was no one to ask. My father also avoided me under the pretext of being busy, and Leon did not come.

“I should write a letter.”

“Yes, I’ll prepare it for you.”

Diria left the room straight away.
I tried rolling my head on the bed. The missing pattern means that Duke Sen is dead.
The mansion can’t be this quiet. He’s an assassin of a nobleman, and his opponent is a duke Sen.
He was a man of considerable influence over the empire. On the other hand, the Velois family is hated by the royal family.
I mean, that’s weird…

“Why is it so quiet?”

I’m sure the royal family should start a family because it’s time.
I got up from my bed, went to the door, and put my ear to it.
But the mansion was quiet.
I should relax because I was free from the threat of life, but the discomfort did not go away.

* * *

Janice couldn’t sleep with anxiety.

‘Where on earth have you been?’

A few days ago, she happened to see Delther who came back to the palace. The smell of gunpowder came from where he passed.
And the next day, a story about incident at the Duke of Sen’s mansion made the front line of the newspaper.

“It is certainly relevant.”

Why on earth? For what reason?
There was no reason for Delther to help Elle. Because he hated the Velois family itself.
No matter how much it was to prevent the relationship between her and Leon, she didn’t understand.
As long as he doesn’t have any weaknesses.
Janice grabbed her hair. If she stays like this, it’s all over.
When she had finished thinking about it, she went straight to her father’s place.
Fortunately, Delther was not in sight.

“I think it’s better not to go in now, Princess.”

The guard stopped Janice, but she shook her head.

“Please tell him at once. It’s urgent.”

“…Her Majesty the Empress is also inside ”

“It’s all right.”

She was impatient now. If Duke Sen died, Elle would have been free.
Since the crown prince even cleaned up, it will be difficult to find evidence that the Velois family moved.
Above all, it was necessary to make sure that the emperor knew it.
Janice entered the audience room with a trembling heart.
The emperor looked slightly perplexed at Janice’s visit.
She asked for an audience even though she knew the queen was there.
Janice glanced at the Empress and squeezed the hem of her dress.

“What brings you here all of a sudden?”

“Oh, I…… I have something else to tell you.”

“How rude.”

The Empress opened her eyes to Janice’s visit.

‘By any chance, that doesn’t mean to tell him what I’ve done.’

She had no choice but to worry. She was stabbed because she did something.
But Janice had long forgotten about it.
The important thing for her right now is that Elle’s companion has disappeared.

“Your Majesty, I am ready to accept the position of a saint whom I have refused.”

“Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes, I must follow my fate if I can help.”

The emperor smiled as if he liked Janice’s decision.

“So, what do you want?”

“…Yes?”

“Tell me what you want.”

Janice glanced at the Queen. As long as she was here, what come out of my mouth was limited.
