Chapter 114



I had asked him to hurry because it was urgent, but I didn\'t expect him to come so quickly.

\'He acted like he won\'t see me again.\'

I opened the drawing-room door, glanced at Damon entering, and then sipped the tea.

When I had threatened him using Oslo, he had warned me not to sway him.

\'But he still answered my call.\'

"Sir."

"Yes."

"I guess you want to ask me a favor?"

The yellow tea leaves floating in the tea water look like fallen leaves. Autumn was already coming to an end.

\'A truce has been decided, but we\'re still a stalemate with regard to the holy relics.\'

Under the pretext of Hermann Euclid\'s injury, Euclid demanded a truce in return for several estates located at the eastern edge of the country.

Veronica and Yuric were anxious to end it like that, but I persuaded Dietrich to draw a ceasefire.

\'Since the holy relics have been passed to Hermann, that means Charl has decided to participate in the rose war.\'

When she had visited together with the Duchess, they had been turned away without any negotiations, so it wasn\'t strange that she held a grudge against me.

Although it was a little later than the original, the importance of securing the relics still remained the same.

"Tell me. I might listen to it."

Wiggling my fingertip, I made eye contact with Damon.

His aura, as dry as his eyes, wasn\'t clear, but it was subtly agitated.

\'Is he surprised even though he knows of my abilities?\'

"The one who called me was you, Princess."

Damon definitely wanted something from me. I tapped the table with my fingers, hiding the subtle tension like a merchant about to make an important deal.

"Sir, were you someone who comes quickly just because anyone called you?"

"You\'re not just anyone, Princess. You\'re my favorite student."

They were insincere words.

As I stared at him with narrowed eyes without responding, Damon shrugged his shoulders as if it couldn\'t be helped.

"You read my mind better than I expected Princess, so I was just thinking that you\'re the right person for what I have in mind."

"What exactly do you want to ask as a favor?"

"Faber is a very secretive group of people working behind the scenes, that\'s why we need to pay extra attention to security."

Their goal was revolution if they succeeded but it would become treason if they failed, so that\'s a given.

I waited for Damon\'s next words with my chin propped on my hands.

"We noticed that information was being leaked, but we couldn\'t find where or who the hell turned their back on us."

I see, he\'s asking me to find the double agent in Faber. I looked up at Damon who nodded politely.

His shiny blue and silver hair followed the movement of his chin.

"To be honest, I\'m not confident."

"Why is that?"

"Even now, I\'m having a hard time reading your aura because it looks foggy. Is that because you\'re a wizard?"

Eredia\'s powers were not absolute.

The aura of ordinary people was easy to read if I concentrated as if I was looking at a transparent head, but there were times when it was difficult, especially for soldiers and knights who have mentally trained minds.

Unless they were like Dietrich, who has a demon that\'s mismatched with my ability interfering, then that meant Damon\'s mind was strongly protected.

"It\'s kind of weird to say this myself but…"

"Yes?"

"I\'m an extremely great wizard. Not everyone can be given a magic tower after all."

"....ah."

His face was so serious that it didn\'t look like he was bragging at all. I was a little dumbfounded, but I exhaled and nodded my head briefly.

"Is that so?"

"I can assure you, now, no one is able to use high-level magic to be able to look inside me."

\'So you\'re saying there used to be one?\'

"So if it\'s you, Princess, you will be able to weed out Faber\'s traitor."

I rolled my eyes at Damons\' faith. It was tiring to use Eredia\'s ability to look into people\'s minds but it wasn\'t something that I couldn\'t do.

"But what if your plans go awry because of me?"

"We won\'t hold you responsible even if you fail."

"If that\'s how it is, then fine. But I have a condition."

"Do you want me to find the relics?"

Damon asked me as if he had expected it. I had darkened the jewel that I took from him in the temple and put it into Dietrich\'s sword.

\'Though it didn\'t have much effect.\'

Dietrich\'s aura became much thicker after that, but he didn\'t seem to feel much difference.

\'Maybe because it\'s not in the form of a weapon?\'

Among the relics that had been passed to Hermann, there must be one that could be used as a weapon.

\'We have to find that.\'

I nodded anxiously.

"If you help me, I have no reason not to help you, Princess."

"Very well."

Things turned out easier than I thought. Feeling better, I smiled and extended my hand to shake hands with Damon.

However, he just stared blankly at my hand fluttering like a leaf in the air.

"You\'re making me feel awkward."

"Ah."

He exclaimed softly and quickly raised his arm. He clasped my hand in embarrassment.

Although our clasped hands quickly fell away after a white blade, glinting in the sun, shining dazzlingly bright, separated us.

"Your Grace."

Following the vision of the sleek sword decorated with a dark jewel, he moistened his lips.

"Why do you keep wandering around the North?"

Dietrich\'s eyes were trained on me but his question was directed at Damon.

"Ah, I\'m sorry for my late greetings. I apologize for not informing you in advance."

"Are you going to make another ridiculous claim that Anissa had kidnapped you again?"

\'It\'s not a lie though.\'

I answered on behalf of Damon, who was flabbergasted that his jaw dropped.

"I called him so put away your sword."

"Why?"

Dietrich raised his right eyebrow at my words. The blade of the sword which he didn\'t remove gleamed unusually.

"I have a favor to ask."

"What favor?"

"I already told you that Marquis Deus knows something about the relics."

"And I already told you I don\'t need that junk."

I secretly laughed at Dietrich\'s determined words.

Since he hadn\'t lost even once in his life, it was natural for him to be so confident, but to me, it\'s just him being obstinate.

"No, you need it. Thankfully, the marquis said he\'ll help."

"If you need this person\'s help then all the more that I don\'t need it."

I turned my head, dismissing Dietrich\'s determined words.

Perhaps finding our relationship unexpected, Damon\'s almond-shaped eyes furtively observed us.

"So, where is the nearest relic?"

"I don\'t know the exact location, but I\'m guessing it\'s in Mount Limeria in the east, which isn\'t far from here."

"Limeria? Isn\'t that a sanctuary?"

Although it was located in the northeast, Limeria was the place of Hera\'s great temple.

"So that means I can\'t bring the demons with me?"

"It\'s a territory that I can\'t reach even if I use black magic, so that would be likely."

\'I have to go alone.\'

It was a little disappointing that I couldn\'t bring the faceless knights, but if the Euclids didn\'t notice, there\'s nothing particularly dangerous.

As I nodded my head in resolution, a determined voice fell over my head.

"You can\'t go."

"Why?"

"Why the hell are you–"

I looked up at Dietrich grinding his teeth with a quizzical look.

"Why do you keep trying to go outside?"

"When did I?"

"Always."

Among the Lagrange siblings, I was the only one who kept to the castle quietly, so I didn\'t understand what nonsense he was saying.

I replied with my mouth sharply pouting, "It\'s Veronica who always goes out saying she\'ll go shopping, not me."

"I don\'t care about the whereabouts of that woman."

I shook my head at Dietrich\'s cold words.

Looking at his reaction now, he didn\'t seem to know that Veronica left the castle to meet with the Romendov merchants.

"If Veronica can go out why can\'t I?"

"Because you\'re different."

"How am I different?"

"You!"

Dietrich shut his mouth after he was trying to say something.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Damon sitting there awkwardly.

"Are you not leaving?"

"Ah, do you want me to leave?"

"I see you have no sense in you."

Contrary to having no sense, Damon just seemed like he didn\'t have the will to move. Instead of leaving, he just shrugged his shoulders with his eyes sparkling as if he found the situation interesting.

"Don\'t be stubborn. Lagrange has settled down a bit and Yuric is also the knight commander. Even if I leave the castle, what trouble could there be?"

"That\'s right. There is. Trouble."

".............Well, will the castle collapse or something?"

"Yeah, it\'ll collapse."

There was no logic in his firm answer so there was no use in persuading him. I held back a deep sigh.

"Or I\'ll go with you."

"It wasn\'t a while ago that you left the castle because of the battle. And were you not listening? It\'s a sanctuary."

I thought he was going to see to the work of a Grand Duke but he\'s already thinking about shirking his duty. I finally let out the sigh that I was holding on to and touched my temple.

"No, you don\'t really need me here!"

"Starting today, you\'re my secretary."

"What?"

"Where\'s the secretary going leaving her boss behind?"

The secretary of the head of the family was quite a high position. In Lagrange, they would be a powerful person who maintains their place in the family and is even more influential than the Grand Duke who changes so easily.

\'You want me to be a secretary like that?\'

"Those who do not work must not eat."

I laughed at Dietrich\'s words, feeling astounded.

"You said I can just have fun! Didn\'t you tell me to just trust you while I just eat and play?"

Why was the speed of recruitment so fast like lightning!
