§ 137. Labyrinth (6)
“So Gongja’s trap, what on earth is that? Is there anything to do with your sudden appearance? “Is it some kind of device?”
“I don’t even know what he did or how he did it. Because she was trapped somewhere with Orden and barely escaped. “Shouldn’t we find him and ask him for more details?”
“And what did you do to Prince Scarzapino that made him do such a thing?”
“Hey, what am I supposed to do? I feel wronged! Well, listen, actually, that guy Ricardo was… from the beginning. … .”
While Orden was staring blankly at Prince Mores, who was giving a passionate explanation, his subordinate Herman approached and asked carefully.
“Are you okay, Master Orden?”
On the face of the subordinate, who was usually not very loyal, a faint sense of guilt appeared on the face of the Archduke, who had let things get to this point.
It must have been unavoidable for him. I will try to get as much information as possible from this meeting, and unless there are other instructions, I was told to wait.
And with a force like Orden’s, how could there be any danger at a social gathering?
“I did, but I never thought that he would even be beaten by that young prince…” … .”
“that… … !”
Orden opened his mouth, but eventually closed his mouth without saying anything in response.
He didn’t know that he had been thrown into another dimension and returned, but he at least understood that what Ricardo had done was not possible for an ordinary person. A situation where the involvement of a dark church or demonic species is suspected.
The fact that a son of the wealthy Scarzzapino family had some kind of relationship with such an evil thing would in itself have had a huge impact on the imperial capital.
So, until the connection with the Milo clan became clear, they had agreed to keep quiet about the details of what happened there for the time being, with Prince Mores.
Orden asked after drying his face for a moment.
“… “What about Riccardo Scarzapino?”
“He hasn’t been seen since the middle of the meeting. “The deacon said he had urgent business to run and would go out for a while.”
“Is it some urgent business?”
“yes. Of course, our people were closely monitoring the surroundings, so it is clear that he did not leave the mansion.”
And Hermann looked at him with slightly worried eyes.
“I will send someone to investigate further, but Orden-sama, please return to the mansion and receive proper treatment. “You’re really out of shape right now.”
“Yeah, sure.”
After answering like that, Orden raised his head and looked towards the people of the Seonghwangga who were standing in a huddle.
To be exact, the beautiful face of Princess Amelia, smiling softly at her younger siblings.
“… But Hermann.”
“Yes, Master Orden.”
“You know what? Amel… Amel’s face looks very happy… … .”
“… Ugh.”
Hermann sighed.
I don’t know why my boss, who is usually too serious and blunt, acts like a jerk when it comes to the princess.
At that time, as if sensing their gaze, Princess Amelia turned around. Then, didn’t she turn her body and slowly come towards them?
Orden is frozen in an unexpected situation.
“Archduke Sigismund.”
Eventually, Amelia’s gaze came closer and looked down at him, and her gaze softened like never before.
“I heard it from Mores. “She was trying to help him, right?”
Orden answered in a dejected voice.
“… “In the end, it didn’t help much.”
“But that still doesn’t change the fact that you gave it to my younger brother.”
The princess who had said that far slightly bent her mouth. Although her smile was faint, the air around her became so bright that even Hermann held his breath for a moment.
“Thank you so much, Archduke.”
“… … !”
It was probably the first time in his life that he received a favorable response from the princess.
Orden was in tears without realizing it and made an expression of joy.
Meanwhile, members of the Seonghwang family continued to harass Seongjin.
“You secretly cause a lot of accidents too. “I think I understand why Amelia is always worried.”
“What, man?”
When Seongjin gets upset, Masain next to him frowns and clicks his tongue.
“That’s right. Anyway, you make it impossible for me to let down my guard. “Even though I’ve been following you for as long as possible, you’ve made things this bad while I was only looking away for a moment!”
“No, Sir Masaine. So, why do you always blame me for everything?”
Of course, if you think about it, all of this is probably due to the things Mores did in the past.
One way or another, Seongjin felt unfair.
“Anyway, let’s not do this here and go back to the imperial palace. “I have something to tell you, so I have to go to the main palace to see my father for a while.”
Seongjin started walking while saying that, but Logan quickly blocked his path.
“Just a moment before that. “Just sit here for a moment.”
“… huh?”
“I will give you a simple treatment. “You’re pretty hurt too, right?”
uh? Seongjin was quite embarrassed.
Well, my legs hurt a little. Still, I thought it was moving pretty well, but how on earth did you notice?
“No, this will get better if you rest a little… … .”
“Mores.”
Hearing Amelia’s cold voice cutting him off from behind, Seongjin hesitated and turned around.
Those gray eyes that quietly stare at him and exert unspoken pressure remind Seongjin of someone he knows well.
“What are you talking about when you’re limping like that?”
No, you really see that?
They seem like such sharp-sighted people!
“Anyone can see that you are seriously injured right now. “Do as Logan tells you right now.”

“… yes.”
When Seongjin, who was scared for no reason, calmly sits down on the floor, Logan puts down his sword next to him and puts his hand on his leg.
Soon, bright divine power poured out and the pain in my legs began to subside.
Masain, who was looking at this with a stern expression, asks.
“Are you serious, sir?”
“First aid was administered. However, it would be better to rest for the time being and not overexert yourself.”
“okay.”
Masain nodded and scolded Seongjin in a stern voice.
“You probably heard what Prince Logan said just now, right? How are you saying that you are going to the main palace with your body? “I will carry you all the way to Jinju Palace, so don’t even think about walking on those legs yourself today.”
“What?!”
Seongjin was the flagship.
No, these people. I’m already completely fine! It’s nothing!
Why are you treating people like babies?
“That’s not all, sir. Training is prohibited tomorrow. Do you understand?”
“But Lord Martha? I really… … .”
Seongjin was about to protest, but scoldings came from both sides at the same time.
“Listen quietly when I say something nice!”
“Don’t even think about water lilies!”
“uh… … .”
Seongjin blinked his eyes.
What is this? Why am I being treated so badly by these people?
[Tsk tsk. With your personality so broken, your understanding of other people’s feelings is extremely poor. Don’t you know that I care about you as a family?]
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, but I don’t know what happened to this guy called the Demon King, but he has a deep understanding of humans.
‘No, but it’s too much to worry about, right?’
[That’s right. I wonder why this damned guy is so pretty… … .]
‘… … .’
Seongjin looked up at his siblings and Masain blankly.
Three different colored eyes are looking at him with the same worry, as if they were looking at a child by the water.
“haha… … .”
Maybe it was because the situation was so absurd, but strangely enough, I burst into laughter. When has Lee Seong-jin, humanity’s strongest hunter, ever been treated like this?
-It’s just that you have so many relatives around you.
Come to think of it, Seonghwang once said that.
At the time, I thought those were really annoying and troublesome relationships.
For some reason, Seongjin suddenly thought that the feeling of fighting with them wasn’t that bad.
* * *
Prince Scarzapino was not discovered until late at night.
This was the result of an old butler who found it strange that the carriage was left untouched and summoned the employees to search the entire mansion.
He was lying on the ground on one side of the back garden, and an unusual amount of blood was splattered around him.
Thanks to this, the servants were initially frightened, thinking something had happened to Confucius, but in reality, not a single wound remained on Confucius’ body.
And Ricardo, who was taken to his room by the servants, came to his senses only late at night.
“The connection… The connection was lost! Oh, no!”
And as soon as Ricardo opened his eyes, he fell into a panic and started struggling.
“Ugh! I’m done! “It’s all over now!”
Surprised employees caught him in a fit of convulsions.
“Ricardo! Confucius! “Why are you doing this?”
“Guardian! He killed my spirit! Completely separated me from the great current!”
“Ricardo, what is that… … ?”
“Sigurt! Sigurd! Where is he? “Please call him to me!”
An appearance uncharacteristic of a minor who always maintained a gentle and noble demeanor.
Thanks to this, there was a commotion as the waiting doctors rushed over and the pale-faced old deacon quickly called a healing priest.
Ricardo’s seizure continued for a long time.
And around dawn, he finally calmed down and curled up in bed, covering himself with a blanket.
However, as expected, it was not a very normal condition, so it looked like it was trembling with blank eyes, wondering what was so scary.
Isabella, who could not see anything, approached with a worried face.
“Why on earth are you doing this, Brother Ricardo?”
Ricardo clenched his teeth together, holding the blanket tightly closed.
“Ah, I’m afraid. “I am so afraid, Isabella.”
“What are you so afraid of?”
“The connection with noble spirit has been lost. Finally, a connection that will lead to a great story… … .”
Ricardo’s eyes were shaking back and forth, losing focus.
“I can’t see anything anymore. Everything that was so clear became so vague, as if it had been covered by a thick veil… … .”
“Brother.”
“Was the mind of a mere human being so insignificant? “I can’t even see myself, let alone this world, so I’m like a blind person!”
“… … .”
“Ah, Isabella! What should I do? I have now become nothing in this universe. “As a tributary in contact with the great current, I should have been an axis of the great rule, but now I am reduced to nothing more than dust!”
Tears formed in Ricardo’s red, bloodshot eyes.
Isabella, who was quietly watching the scene for a moment, carefully held his hand and began patting it.
“is it so. okay. But don’t be too sad, brother.”
“… … .”
“To be suddenly kicked out of the great order. Maybe that’s a very big loss. “I completely understand how you feel.”
Beautiful turquoise eyes looked at him with deep compassion.
“… Isabella?”
Ricardo turned his head and stared at Isabella at his sister’s strange reaction. Her younger sister’s face was surprisingly gentle and peaceful.
She continued speaking with an ever softer smile.
[But you don’t have to be so sad. Dare to become a part of the great order was something that was not allowed from the beginning for my brother, who was just a puppet in the middle of the day.]
Her flower-red lips slowly approach and whisper sweetly in his ear.
[It never happened in the first place, so you haven’t lost anything. How fortunate is this? So now forget everything and rest in peace, brother.]
