No. 279
As I left the mansion, I asked Johan to kidnap the Duke of Amity, and I also taught him how to kidnap Duke of Amity.
If you are a Duke of Amity, you will be caught in “The Way”.
'Look in all the systems wherever you are. Can you find the Duke Amity?'
I left Reginald and Mina behind and went into the investigation room.
* * *
The situation became fun.
Mina was given a re-chupo order, but she wasn't just her words like the first time.
At first we were given an order of chorus, but the imperial forces that brought us were not armed soldiers.
But this time, the armed soldiers were scrambling the system. Like really looking for the culprit.
It was by no means a decree that could be handed down to a suspect who was only seriously ill.
After hearing the news, the cardinals ran to the imperial palace.
“I'm insane! Armed soldiers scour the system! Everyone in the world will think Mina is the culprit!”
“The second child of fate ran away from the imperial palace, ignoring Chupo-ryeong. She is grateful that Your Majesty did not issue an immediate death order.”
"This……!”
It is true that Mina trampled on the consideration of the Imperial Palace and ran away. The cardinals couldn't say much.
The Temple criticized Reginald for failing to properly support her Mina. It was quite a fun sight for Reginald to know what to do.
Unlike Mina, who ran away, the investigators were gentle to me, who quietly came to the imperial palace to be investigated and answered well.
“I checked and found that Lady was not in Dubbleed. Where have you been?”
“It's true that I was in the system.”
“You mean you have secretly entered the system without going through long-distance movement ?”
“Yes, I've been in the islands all the time. My eldest brother was cursed, how can he be in a manor? However, because of the 7-family mock war, my eyes were too focused, and there were many high-ranking nobles who wanted to contact me, so I just died."
“You mean you were in a shopping street?”
"Yeah. But I've never cast Meteor.”
“Witnesses said that the baby cast a spell.”
“That’s weird for me too. If you cast a spell while a meteorite is falling, isn't it likely it's a defensive spell? But why did they point me to the culprit? Even a wizard can't figure out what magic is cast on the outside. How? Isn't it very likely that someone was targeting me and made an eyewitness?”
The investigators exchanged their eyes to see if they thought that was the case and hesitated several times.
That's how the investigation, which took a full two days, ended. Of course, it was not completely excluded from the suspect line. There weren't a few people who had divine power to cast such super high magic.
However, after being properly investigated, I returned to the mansion without fear of escaping. The investigators saw me off.
The atmosphere was friendly.
“I'm sorry, Lady. You cannot leave the mansion until the investigation is complete.”
“I know the position of the lords.”
“Thank you for taking care of me, haha.”
It was when I and the investigators were having a conversation haha ho ho. From a distance, I saw a person being dragged by the Imperial Army. It was Mina.
They said Mina was choppy. She hasn't been able to sleep for two days, her face is white, and under her eyes is all black. Her beautiful hair, which she had always finely trimmed, also showed off.
I saw several cardinals with embarrassing expressions behind me.
Mina and my gaze met. The girl threw away the imperial army and ran to me and grabbed me.
The attendants who passed by, the investigators, the Imperial Army, and even the cardinals there were greatly embarrassed.
“Mina!”
“Let it go!”
The Cardinal and the Imperial Army held Mina together.
"Where are you! Where did you hide the duke!”
I deliberately shrugged her shoulders and drooped her eyebrows.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
[I don't know what you're talking about, LeBlaine...…]
As she returned her words that she had always said, Mina's face was distorted in a mess.
"Then no. You, you can't. How do you tell my father...… What kind of person he is to us…”
“My father is at the mansion.”
“LeBlaine!”
I shook Mina's hand with a look of nothing.
“Why the hell are you doing this?”
“You are the Duke……!”
“So what kind of duke are you looking for from me? I don't think my dad, Grimoire? Marche? If not…… Amity?”
“You know I'm talking about the Duke Amity!”
"Why?"
“…What?"
I laughed, pretending to be ridiculous.
“So why the hell are you looking for Duke Amity so much?”
“That’s what he’s mine……!”
“Mina!”
Reginald blocked Mina from talking with her face, so blue.
'That's right.'
If Mina says, “Duke Amity is my father,” she will be taken as a lunatic. Then it will be very disadvantageous.
In the worst case, it could have been thought that the temple and Amity collided to create the child of fate.
Reginald blocked her face with an awkward look.
“The second baby admires Duke Amity very much. She seems to have lost her mind because of his disappearance.”
The investigators said with a stunned expression.
“If anyone sees, I think even her father has disappeared.”
Because of a series of events, you haven't been able to sleep for a few days, and you haven't been able to pass the song properly.
“Is it okay to know by saying that I’m not insane?”
"Circa……!”
“It's really regrettable. Trampling on your Majesty's favor and being captured by an armed soldier, you still run wild.”
“Please know that you are still young. She is by nature an intelligent person.”
The investigators stared at Mina with cold expressions. I passed Mina with picks and laughs as I watched the cardinals stiff.
And whispered in a very small voice.
“If you want to find it, bring me Benedict.”
“……!”
Mina looked at me and smiled.
“How long can the Duke of Amity be alive?”
Mina's pupils shook, and tears gathered in her eyes looking at me.
“Bad girl…… Bad, this bad...… LeBlaine!”
Mina screamed her evil once again. The cardinals tried to close her mouth in vain, but the gaze around her became colder and colder.
I smiled once more and waved my hand at Mina and her cardinals.
"Cheer."
-and.
Yes, I am a bad bitch.
And I'm going to do my best to get worse.
* * *
Mansion.
When I came back, the people of the mansion came to me.
“Girl, the body……”
"Are you okay? Are you okay?”
Leaving behind my worrying words, I went up the stairs and told the administrators.
“Suwon’s support is cut off from villages adjacent to the border.”
North looked up at me with dread, but I didn't care.
“The distribution of long-distance movement is prohibited. Make the news that Dubbleed is stockpiling long-distance movement across the continent. Of course, don't send a single long-distance movement to the battle area. Blue spinel also.”
“……”
“The same goes for all the sponsorships at Dubbleed. Stop the slums, disaster areas, human resources, all sponsorships.”
“People won't be able to withstand it.”
“I mean, make it impossible to hold on.”
"Miss……!”
I stopped and looked at North.
“Make sure I don't order it twice. Eugene North.”
“…… Yes, Miss.”
I left North and went up to the greenhouse. When the door was opened, the chairman, Seria and Trigon, who had been called in advance, bowed their heads at once.
“Dubbleed ended all support from the Empire. There will be those who can't hold up. Lend money in exchange for money, and collect blood from it.”
Seria flinched and said, “My lady……!” And opened her mouth, but the chairman shook his head as he intercepted her with his one arm.
With an insensitive expression, I approached the window and grabbed the window frame.
“The top of the Hope let go of everything other than Kori Daegeum.”
I was really going to do my best to become evil.
It was only a moment that the empire was overturned.
Dubbleed, the wealthiest family in the empire, shuts down, and the top of Hope withdrew from all business.
Of course, the most serious thing was the economy.
Dubbleed and The Top of Hope had no promise when they would resume their business, and the first action they took in such a situation was to fire employees.
Of course, the great nobles were also experiencing a considerable crisis. As long-distance movement were not in circulation, the price of short-range diatance movement rose to the ceiling, and the price of blue spinel rose without knowing the peak.
The nobles who fought big and small battles with immigrants near the border could not withstand.
When the great nobles also guessed the crisis and stocked up their wealth, the shopping street, which was prosperous every day, became desolate.
Seria, who was serving me, muttered anxiously.
“The resentment against Dubbleed and The Top of Hope will increase.”
“Seria do you think so? I am not.”
"Yes?"
“You may be blaming us for a moment. But in the end, the target of their anger will be a Temple.”
"What……”
“Without The Top of Hope and Dubbleed, the temple is the only one that can mine a small amount of blue spinel and distribute short-distance movement. But who raised the price?”
“Isn't that an inevitable price increase according to market principles? The temple is also not what you want. There are a lot of people looking for it, and there are few people who can distribute it, so the price will inevitably rise...…”
“But it won't seem to people that the temple has raised the price.”
It was then.
Noisy sound began to be heard outside the window.
Bang-!! Bang!!
It was the sound of people carrying huge logs smashing the door of the central temple.
Look, it started.
And the communication seat rang like crazy. The caller is the Holy See.
As I connected the communication, I heard Reginald's shout.
[How far in the world do you intend to go!]
I pretended to be confused.
“What do you ask? Of course, until you're beaten by the angry crowds and die.”
[Baby!]
“Ah, it’s noisy, really.”
[I beg your pardon?]
“If you calm down, contact me again.”
Hello~!
He greeted with a clear voice and cut off communication.
In the next communication, Reginald forcibly lowered his voice.
[I will go to the mansion.]
Even though I was patient that I would cut off communication again, the voice was hard to see if there was an outbreak of resentment.
“I can’t because I’m scared.”
Hello~!
I hung up again.
