Episode 247: What a dirty guy

Today too, Montersen headed to the hut where the warlock Calcia resides. This was already my third visit.

“Duke. How do you plan to persuade him this time?”

In the dark carriage, his subordinate Owen asked a question in a cautious tone. This was Owen’s third visit as well.

During his first visit, Montersen tried to stimulate Calcia’s desire for revenge. In fact, he thought it would work because warlocks had been purged on a large scale in the history of the empire.

However, this ended in failure.

The second thing he presented was gold and silver treasures. However, Calcia refused as if there was nothing more to hear.

“I’m thinking of asking what you want.”

“I understand.”

With that, the conversation between the two ended.

After running along the road for a while, the carriage arrived in front of the hut where Calcia lived. The two people got off the carriage, took a look around, and then crumpled into the hut.

“…”

Calcia did not respond even after seeing the two men sitting in front of her. Montersen was clearly upset at the thought of being so blatantly ignored.

But he had to endure it for now. It was because bringing Calcia into his power his was more important than anything else.

“Warlock. “What do you want?”

“…”

Remain silent.

But Montersen did not give up. He persistently cajoled and encouraged answers to questions.

Only after a long time had passed did Calcia open her mouth for the first time.

“For what reason is the duke trying to attack the imperial family?”

As expected, this time the tone was devoid of any emotion.

“The imperial family is unfairly oppressing me and the members of the noble faction under my command. Recently, I even had my favorite subordinate executed for a trivial crime. “I decided that I couldn’t just watch this unfair treatment with my eyes open.”

“Is that the reason you want to attack the imperial family?”

“Yes.”

Although it was completely different from the truth and was false, Montersen’s eyes did not show the slightest wavering. Rather, he firmly believed that what he said was true.

‘We need to push further here.’

Montersen made that decision and informed Calcia of the current situation. In other words, he said that the imperial family had prepared everything to prepare for an attack.

“At this rate, we cannot be sure of our chances of victory. Therefore, the support of a capable warlock like you is needed more than ever.”

“…”

Silence followed again. Montertsen decided that it would be better to give Calcia time to collect his thoughts than to keep his mouth shut, so he shut him up.

After some time had passed, Calcia spoke up.

“You said it last time. “I will help you get revenge.”

“Yes.”

“There was a time when I harbored a desire for revenge, but that is in the past.”

Montersen raised an eyebrow. I was surprised because I didn’t expect the warlock to suddenly tell me what was on his mind.

He quickly recovered his surprise and asked a question.

“Then tell me what you want. If this revolution succeeds, I will definitely make your wishes come true.”

“There is only one thing I want.”

“What is it?”

Not only Montersen questioned, but Owen, who was sitting behind him, also looked at Calcia with expectant eyes. After a brief pause, Calcia finally spoke up.

“Please support me to research black magic. “I don’t want anything else.”

‘It’s a rather easy request to grant.’

Montersen thought to himself. In any case, if this revolution succeeds, providing a laboratory to this gloomy warlock will be no problem.

“I promise.”

Montersen spoke in a clear tone, and Calcia promised support.

“When are you going to attack the imperial palace?”

“It’s dawn tomorrow.”

Theorod had not yet been informed of the early morning.

Calcia told him that she would support him at Mount Willa, located on the outskirts of Deleson.

“I understand.”

Only then did a satisfied expression appear on Montersen’s face. The two men came out of the hut.

Before getting into the carriage, Owen asked Montersen.

“Duke. “Can I inform you of my departure date as soon as I arrive?”

“No. I’ll do it myself.”

After that conversation, the two men got into the carriage.

“…”

Inside the hut, Calcia heard the sound of a carriage slowly moving away. At the same time, the sound of human footsteps moving softly on the roof was also captured.

“Is that rat from back then… ?” …”

Calcia muttered softly. And then she thought.

If she were to face a situation like that, she would definitely kill the rat.

* * *

I was planning a plan with Cecilia in her room. First, she expressed her opinion that it would be better to invest more troops in the defense of the imperial palace.

“How much do you plan to increase your troops?”

“Shouldn’t we deploy at least 500 more people? “I think it would be a good idea to place a lot of them, especially at the front and back entrances.”

“Hmm…”

There was a map spread out on the round table that showed the site of the imperial palace at a glance, and it was already ready when Cecilia called me here.

“How about listening to the on-site judgment? “Currently, the commander of the knights, Marquis Calix, and my father are at the main gate.”

“But it wouldn’t be easier to discuss if I also prepare a strategy?”

“I guess that makes sense, but…”

While exchanging opinions, a voice suddenly came from next to me. It was Lucia’s voice.

“Your majesty. “I have something to report to you urgently.”

Lucia knelt down on one knee next to Cecilia and bowed her head. The fact that she skipped the greeting must mean she was in a hurry.

Even in her own words, she said it was urgent.

“Tell me.”

Cecilia turned to where Lucia was. I opened my ears wide so as not to miss her report her her.

“A little while ago, Duke Montersen successfully persuaded the warlock Calcia into joining the noble faction.”

“!”

Not only Cecilia but also I was shocked.

How dare you attract a warlock…

At this rate, even if we had a slight numerical superiority, it was clear that it would be difficult to easily suppress the aristocratic faction.

“I never thought they would really drag me in…”

Cecilia cupped her forehead and let out a deep sigh.

On the other hand, I was curious as to how they were appeased. Well, the time when I can solve this curiosity will never come.

Lucia’s report continued.

“And it looks like they will attack the imperial palace directly at dawn tomorrow.”

“Right…”

Cecilia muttered, narrowing her brows. Of course, I also became more serious.

Montersen’s intentions were clear. Trying to end it quickly with the support of the warlock.

Otherwise, there is no way he would attack the warlock as soon as he was appeased.

“Lucia. “Is Luna ready?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “Everyone is determined.”

“You must prepare for battle with the Luna crew.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Lucia immediately disappeared. I asked Cecilia a question.

“Your majesty. Is it possible that all of Luna is dealing with the warlock?”

“I did say something in advance just in case… In the end, that’s what happened.”

“Aha…”

She shook her head in a daze, and this time she asked me.

“Do you care?”

“No, Your Majesty.”

“Really?”

Why are you suddenly using plain language?

I met Cecilia’s eyes and could read the doubt in her ruby eyes.

‘Are you sure you care because of what Ilayna confessed to me?’

My intuition exclaimed that it seemed to be right.

… You must answer well.

“I think Ilaina will do her job well.”

“I trust Ilaina.”

“She trusts not only her but the entire Luna crew.”

“As expected, it was a good thing I showed you Luna’s training grounds.”

A slight smile appeared on her face. It looks like you chose the right answer.

But the smile quickly disappeared from Cecilia’s face. Instead, a serious expression appeared in her place.

“Luke. Now the situation has entered an irreversible direction. So, make up your mind. “I, too, am determined to fight.”

“I have already made up my mind, Your Majesty.”

“That’s your answer.”

Cecilia nodded once and slowly got up from her chair.

“Luke. “I’m going to change her clothes, so please leave for a while.”

Cecilia was wearing her usual red dress. Are there any new outfits other than this?

“Do you want to watch me change clothes? What a sloppy guy…”

Suddenly, Cecilia’s cheeks turned red. Only then did I come to my senses and quickly got up from my seat.

“I’ll go out right away.”

I bowed 90 degrees to her and then quickly left her room. After closing the door, I leaned against the wall and sighed with my hand on my chest.

No, but why are your cheeks suddenly blushing… I was also taken aback by that.

“…”

I recalled Cecilia’s blushing cheeks again.

To be honest… It was cute.

The pounding heartbeat coming from my palm she made that fact clearly imprinted on me.

“Oh my.”

I can’t believe I feel excited even though a crisis is right around the corner… I’m a man that I can’t help.

I turned my head and looked at the door.

I was very excited to see what kind of outfit Cecilia would wear.
