Chapter 98:
“Did you say this was it?”
“All of a sudden, why this family…”
“I have something to look into.”
Leon narrowed his brows by rummaging through the papers.
He sighed with his fingers pressed against his eyebrows.
‘At this rate, I won’t find anything.’
Leon had a lot on his mind.
A cursed child. It has been a long time since I disappeared after destroying my family.
Someone must be after me.
Fortunately, Elle found me and I live with my red eyes covered.
“Find out secretly.”
“I will. Why are you so busy these days?”
Caven made a loud noise and kept his mouth open.
“Why did you become lord of the tower?”
“Do I need a reason? I think you’re comfortable with me.”
“…Well, that’s not wrong.”
After Leon became a master, the wizards became freer.
The main reason was that he was strong enough to ignore the royal family.
It just seemed like Leon didn’t care about other things.
Caven is used to Leon, but talking about it in other places is another thing.
“Still be careful. There’s a lot of people that will talk. “
“Let them make noises as they please.”
Leon flipped through the papers with a sullen expression.
“Do something right and don’t complain.”
“……That’s too much. Is this my job? Huh?”
“It could be your job. I will be attached to the tower only when this is resolved.”
“Ah! There is one useful piece of information!”
Leon raised his head and stared at Caven.
“There is a bar in the city, and there are stories about the Rubion family.”
“At a bar?”
“Yes, I have heard that it seems to be a secret jewellery trade.”
“…Is that so?”
Caven nodded. Now Leon’s eyes staring at him have loosened.
“More than that, I keep getting calls from the royal family, can I just ignore it?”
“Ignore it.”
“……Are you sure it’s okay?”
Caven murmured softly and shook his head.
The royal family can’t touch the tower, but if we go on like this…
“There’s nothing to worry about.”
He was relieved by Leon’s words.
“Yes, of course.”
Caven walked out of the room with a big smile.
Leon, left alone in the room, opened the drawer and took out a piece of paper.
The Rubion family.
It was a past and a waste that he wanted to erase, which cursed him.
The man whom God loved had red eyes. Humans, who wanted the beauty of his eyes, grabbed him, dug them out, and put them in their hands.
That was the hidden evil of the Rubion family.
They acquired strength and beauty, but were blinded by the wrath of God.
A curse that makes even family members indistinguishable.
He was the illegitimate son of such a family, and they tried to kill him before his power emerged.
Leon’s power awakened by fear, and he soon killed his family because he did not recognize them.
“The Rubion family is alive.”
Does that mean me. Or is it that another family is alive.
If the story of his power had leaked out, rumours could have circulated that the owner of the power was the blood of the Rubion family.
In fact, there were a lot of things that could have been caught. A war that ended so easily, and the magic tower that was acquired in a day.
His rumours could have flowed through the mouth of the former lord of magic tower, who he sent out alive without killing him.
Find him…
Leon, who continued his cruel thoughts, looked at his pattern.
“If it weren’t for this…”
What is Princess Janice thinking that she keeps getting in the way?
“She told me to come tomorrow.”
He want to see her now.
He wanted to run to see Elle’s face and hug her right away.
First of all, the first thing to do is to go and investigate the rumours.
Looking at Caven, it seemed difficult to get what he wanted.
I’m tired, so should I go out on my own?
Leon stretched and looked out the window.
“It’s a changing weather.”
Thunder and lightning struck with rain and wind.
It was a good day to move.

“The young lady Elle is here too.”
“Yes, should I leave?”
He smiled, shaking his head.
“I’m sorry to make you come this far. I’m feeling a little better now…”
“I suppose so.”
Delther nodded gravely.
I don’t know what he talked about with my father, but the atmosphere was not bad.
“I intend to go to the emperor in a few days.”
“Yeah, by this point, it’s been delayed quite a bit. You look fine.”
“Thanks for your consideration.”
I laughed awkwardly at Delther’s words.
Anyway, how do I bring up the empress?
I pursed my lips in contemplation.
“Did your Majesty have anything else to say?”
But I closed my mouth because of my father who blocked my mouth.
“There was none. But the banquet will be held next week.”
The word banquet surprised me and asked.
“…Banquet?”
Why a party all of a sudden. I’m not very fond of the banquet.
I couldn’t expect a good friendship even if I went into society.
Above all, the place where I die in this novel was a banquet hall, so I was anxious.
“It seems to be open quite often”
“There are frequent banquets in the capital. You must not know well because you are on the outskirt.”
“…Well, yes.”
Look what you’re saying
I opened my eyes and took a sip of the tea.
“Why did you come alone today. If you had come with the princess, she would have talked with Elle.”
“Well, since when did you two become friends and drink tea?”
Something bad must have happened recently. Or did he fight with Janice?
Why is he on edge like that.
I snorted and shook my head.
“It is difficult for the princess and I to become friends. You don’t know we’re a rival?”
“…Rival”
“Your Highness knows.”
If you don’t know, I’ll take it easy. Watch Janice when you even have time to come to my house and scratch my nerves!
“What do you mean?”
“There’s something like that. The information is too expensive to just tell you.”
Huh.
Let me tell you.
I was going to hit the player first soon anyway. So what Janice wants won’t happen.
Regardless of Edgar’s opinion, I’ve already decided.
“Then go take a break.”
“There’s a little more time. Why don’t you stay.”
“I’m going to go because I think you two have something to talk about.”
“…I see.”
Edgar no longer took it. Staying with Delther wouldn’t help, as it would only cause more nerve wars.
I forced a smile and left the room.

“What happened all of a sudden?”
The emperor tilted his head to the side at the queen’s words.
“I didn’t expect you to discuss the return of the Velois family first.”
“It’s all in the past. The noble talk a lot these days.”
“Unexpected.”
Recently, the Velois family has been on the rise, so there has been a lot of talk.
Some nobles said that they should bring them to the capital.
They went to the outskirt for something bad, but they knew it, too.
That the royal family kicked them out to cover up their work.
“I don’t know if you’ll be all right.”
“Well, what’s the matter with me? If it’s the Velois family, your majesty should be concerned.”
The two were blaming each other for the cause.
The queen was in a hurry.
‘If it’s three days, I can send her a letter only if I get permission today.’
Elle will certainly tell the emperor everything if she breaks that period.
She’s feeling better, so she will come to the palace soon, and if that happens…
“Then can I take it as permission?”
“Do that. Now that I’ve done you a favor, I must ask you a favor.”
“Go ahead.”
He was an old man who never crossed the line.
She can’t believe he’s offering her a deal. It must be about Janice.
“I’m thinking of holding a banquet soon. I want the Empress to take care of it.”
“That’s my specialty, so don’t worry.”
The Empress covered her mouth with a fan and rolled her eyes.
He can’t leave it to me to do something so simple. There must be something to hide…
First, the fire had to be put out.
“The banquet will surely appeal to your Majesty. Then I’ll take my leave.”
The queen turned and clenched the fan tightly.
She never thought she will be in disgrace of bringing the Velois family to the capital with her own hands.
She was a child that should not be considered easy.

“I’ve got a letter for you, miss.”
“A letter?”
I jumped up and was handed a small envelope by Diria.
The royal family mark was there correctly.
“Okay, we will go to the capital, so there’s only one left.”
“What’s that?”
Diria tilted her head with curiosity.
I opened it with a big smile.
“The emperor’s permission to return to our original place.”
“What?”
It was understandable that she was surprised. Because I really didn’t know if I could do it within this period.
Even the emperor allowed this?
‘What are they thinking…’
If the Velois family moved to the capital, the royal family would be in trouble.
I smiled and opened the closet wide.
“Let’s pack!”
“Yes, my lady!”
Diria called in the maids and began to pack in a hurry.
We can leave this place as a separate building.
“But does the count know?”
“Yes, he didn’t know we’d really go.”
“Shall I let him know?”
“Let’s tell him when His Royal Highness go. For now, it’s better to pack quickly.”
Diria nodded.
With their sleeve rolled up, the maids moved busily under the leadership of hard work.
“Well, then shall I go and look for a house?”
“You’re not going alone, are you?”
I shook my head at Diria’s cry.
“I’m going with Lord Hessen. So don’t worry.”
Only then did she concentrate on packing with a relieved face.
I left the room immediately to save Lord Hessen, who would be buried in work.
It feels like I’m going to the capital after a long time.
