Chapter 245

Lennon’s face distorted.

Demirea frowned.

Soon, Demirea put her arms behind her waist and opened her palms. It looks like the fingers are all glued together and straightened out. It was Siegfried’s hand signal.

– atmosphere.

It meant to wait and not attack, but the reason for showing it was a little different from usual.

‘Don’t get angry or attack too quickly, just wait.’

Lennon bowed his head.

Laughter was leaking from the distorted face. A very small but clear laugh escaped as if it could not be held back.

A common thing among nobles.

However, it was a situation that knights who spent a long time at Siegfried would not have experienced.

“ah……!”

A small elasticity that came out like a whisper.

Lennon was overjoyed upon hearing the news of Evan Briesen’s death.

So Demirea ordered to wait.

Siegfried did this because he was concerned that the knights might become agitated and draw their swords after seeing a reaction that he could never have imagined.

“Viscount Briesen. Shouldn’t you first check whether what I say is true?”

“Oh, I see.”

I’m so happy, so stop.

Demirea, who was watching Lennon’s actions, instructed something to the driver behind him.

Soon, a body covered in a black cloth other than Calian’s was brought between Demirea and Lennon. Lennon slowly opened the cloth to check on Evan and frowned at the sight of the blood-soaked body.

Someone next to Lennon whispered to Lennon. After hearing what he said, Lennon pursed his lips as if he would not laugh any more.

“I confirmed that Siegfried harmed my father.”

Instead, he said this, and the person who had just whispered to Lennon nodded.

Demirea, who thought that perhaps he had someone by his side who could use his brains in place of Lennon, looked at Lennon and asked.

“You’re pointing the finger at us right away. You’re hasty in your judgment.”

“My father died while you were blocking the mansion, so who would you suspect?”

“You speak lightly, Viscount Briesen.”

“Speak properly, Duke.”

Now I am the Marquis of Briesen.

Lennon, who was about to add this with an excited face, suddenly opened his mouth as if he had remembered something.

“Oh. Now that I think about it, there must have been a child. Where is it?”

“… It’s a child.”

“My daughter is here. She must have been 6 or 7… around that time. Is she dead?”

A question asked casually.

Demirea had to open her palms, which were still placed behind her back, once again. He ordered ‘standby’ to the knights and to himself.

“Was there a young child in the mansion?”

And he said this as if he was reminiscing, creating some time to think.

– That’s a little strange.

– What’s strange?

– There is no reason for the Marquis of Briesen to suddenly support the Viscount’s activities. I don’t understand why they hated him and threatened to expel him from the family just for setting up the upper tier with Brisen’s funds, but then suddenly gave him the viscountcy and fully supported the upper tier.

– Lennon Brissen said he couldn’t use a sword, so he created a way for him to live.

– They are different from us. There are a lot of things that don’t make sense when you think about it that way.

Then, I suddenly remembered a conversation between Serie and Jan a long time ago. Demirea was too young at the time to understand and remember the entire long story, but when she found herself in this situation, she strangely remembered it.

The young girl who Calian said was probably Brisen’s successor.

“I didn’t know the Viscount had a daughter. I didn’t even know he was married.”

“There is no reason for the Little Duke to care about my circumstances. So there really were no children?”

It was also unknown that Lennon was already married. So I never thought Lennon would have children. He’s not a great person who could get married without rumors, so it’s probably a child born before marriage.

‘That Evan made a quite unexpected choice.’

The bad relationship between Gray and Evan Briesen.

Evan was unable to select Gray or Lennon as his successor.

Gray Brisen was also someone who took the path of the sword.

It was already well known that Evan did not want his child to follow the path of the sword. Not all of the heads of the families who led Brisen took up the path of swordsmanship, so I just hoped that they would grow up properly and inherit swordsmanship.

But Gray took the path of the sword. When Evan found out, he made Gray a margrave and chased him away.

‘They said Gray had a son. I knew he was wary of Gray, but rather than having Gray or Gray’s son as his successor, he would take Lennon’s hidden daughter and make her his successor, and in exchange for Lennon’s daughter being kept secret, he would give her a viscountcy and support the upper class. I didn’t know it was that much.’

It is surprising that Evan, who reacted so strongly to Calian’s bloodline, actually thought about having a child born in secret as his successor.

What happened to the person who gave birth to that child?

After thinking about this for a moment, Demirea slightly shook her head.

Lennon has not yet married. It was obvious what Briesen, who had practiced the most reliable methods for maintaining secrecy, had done.

After thinking, guessing, and confirming, Demirea made a decision.

“There were no children.”

I said that because I couldn’t hand my child over to the guy who sold my child and lived well. Besides, Lennon is about to…

“Yes.”

Lennon nodded, thinking that he could find the child himself. Then he opened his mouth with a look on his face as if he was expecting something.

“Anyway, today will be the last day for those great elephants.”

Demirea didn’t say anything else.

– No dead bodies with their backs turned.

– There are no ordinary people among the bodies.

– Evan Briesen is the only person to die from more than one attack.

Calian said that these guys were also people, so he left alone the fleeing guys and ordinary people, and only killed the attacking knights and Evan. I just let the survivors escape the mansion and run away. It’s not like I wasn’t worried that they would open their mouths, so I let them go.

That’s why Demirea hasn’t drawn her sword until now. I endured it for now.

“Little Duke.”

At that time, someone came to Demirea’s side. It was the knight Yu-ran.

Without another word, Yuran gave a slight glance towards Demirea. Demirea let out a silent breath and nodded. There was a small smile on his face.

I understood that it meant that Kalian had been safely taken out.

That meant I didn’t have to listen to that guy anymore.

“Lennon.”

Lennon’s face, who was called only by his first name and no title or last name, was frowned upon.

“I will regard your remarks as a disgrace for trying to put baseless information about my family about someone I did not touch.”

Demirea’s fingertips gained strength.

He clenched his fist.

The knights lined up behind them moved in unison and formed a long line. And he was ready to draw his sword at any time. Lennon, seeing the knights in black chain mail who were ready for battle in an instant, took a step back without realizing it.

‘Thank you for your help, Dmirea. If you let him know that the Marquis is dead and give him a little scare, Lennon will go away on his own. I’ll take care of everything after that.’

Death flowed from Demirea.

Lennon didn’t feel it, but the soldiers and knights with him clearly felt it.

“Don’t kill anyone.”

“Yes, Little Duke.”

“As long as it doesn’t kill you, I will tolerate it no matter where you cut it.”

“Yes, Little Duke.”

– Chae Jaejaeng! Cheaeng! Cheaeng!

As Ronansite answered, the knights’ swords were pulled out simultaneously with a cheerful sound. Lennon Brissen’s face turned pale.

Demirea looked at Lennon.

Looking at Lennon with extremely angry blue-gray eyes, Demirea opened her mouth like a growl.

“I will only deal with Lennon Brissen.”

-Chaeng!

A silver sword was pulled out.

* * *

Yes. The light green one.

That’s my eye color.

It’s round.

Something squishy.

Something sweet.

Don’t come.

“I…”

What did that crazy little brother have to do with me just now?

If you say so.

The knights who were guessing what that guy meant will become convinced. Seeing them quickly turning their heads, it seems like it’s already too late, but if they get angry here, there’s no way to turn back. It’s been rumored that you can’t eat green peppers and unripe onions, but this doesn’t go any further.

Let’s pretend we didn’t hear.

Plantz, who finished his thinking a little faster than when he received the poison bag, closed his mouth and closed his eyes tightly.

Plantz, who was looking down at his crazy younger brother who literally barked with all his might as if this was his only chance and then fainted after looking at him with the same face as that of someone who has achieved the greatest achievement of his life, looked up into the sky for a moment. I saw.

…… All the dotted stars seemed to be peas, so I stopped and looked ahead again.

Below article.

Who would be angry with whom?

Then, after thinking about this, Plantz finally let out a short sigh and shook off his emotions.

The only person who would have heard Calian say that from a long time ago acted as if he had not heard anything.

Kyrie.

In fact, it would be correct to say that I don’t have the presence of mind to react.

Kirie lifted Calian up with her hands, as if putting a baby bird that had fallen down a tree into its nest, and placed him on Raven’s saddle. Raven, who bent down to her knees and rode Calian well, made a purring sound.

Plantz said, looking at Calian.

“There are a lot of eyes watching, so cover yourself and go.”

Isn’t it one thing to guess who was lying on top of Raven and a completely different matter to see with your own eyes and be sure that it was Calian? Moreover, even though the nobles have already closed their doors, it is clear that there will be more informants than usual to act as their eyes and ears.

“all right.”

Instead of saying that she had already planned to do so, Kirie gave a short answer and tried to take off her robe, but Plants frowned slightly.

“It would be better for you to remain invisible.”

“I was in a hurry so I couldn’t prepare anything else.”

Wasting time here wouldn’t do any good for Kalian. Therefore, as if there was nothing to worry about, Planz untied his cloak and handed it to Kirie.

Neither Plants nor Kirie knew that the bag attached to Raven’s saddle contained two additional black robes that could be used at any time.

A pure white cloak with gold embroidery.

Kyrie, who took it without another word and covered Calian, opened her mouth.

“Ride my horse to where Prince Planz’s horse is. I will take you there with me.”

Instead of nodding or getting on his horse, Planz gave orders to the knights who came with him.

“There are five left. The rest should take Prince Calian back.”

The ten knights who were the ‘rest’ slightly bowed their heads. Kirie asked with a puzzled look.

“Why are you dividing the article?”

Planz looked at Calian, who was lying on top of Raven, and spoke long words filled with earnestness, saying, ‘Please, can you open your eyes and listen to me, even if it’s just for a moment?’

“My brother is so weak.

As an older brother, I can’t let you go like that without an escort.” Kirie looked at Planz, who was trying to get rid of the feeling of being caught in a situation where two children were fighting over something trivial and ended up holding each other by the hair and getting into a fight. “Prince Planz, are you not planning on going back right away?”

Planz just nodded without saying a word.

Kirie looked at Plantz, who was dressed confidently as if he had come here without any intention of covering his face in the first place, for a moment, and then his voice sank .

He asked again.

“May I ask why you came here?”

“All my own good.”

Plantz, who had said something that Calian would really like, turned his head and spoke in a low voice.

“Mine. To find it.”

The huge mansion at the bottom of the hill where the light green eyes met was immersed in silence.

* * *

Overwhelmed.

From the beginning, they were private soldiers, not Brisen’s knights.

From the beginning, there were only Siegfried’s elite knights.

After Yuran went down

the hill . In the short time that Planz, who came up to the top, transported Calian to the palace, the suppression of Private Brisen was completed. The

number of private soldiers was much greater, and all the knights and soldiers were holding swords, but it was no use. Each swing was blocked, and after being blocked, he lost his sword. Knight Siegfried. He failed to block their swords five times and lost his grip. Or he was cut.

The battle that broke out in an instant died down in an instant. And Lennon had a completely fed up face as he saw the sword stop exactly in front of his uvula.

– Tap, tap, tap!

Three short blows.

From those three heavy blows, both ankles were broken and I fell to my knees.

Then, with a hissing sound, I opened my tightly closed eyes and saw a sparkling silver blade pointed at my neck.

“The situation has been resolved, Duke.”

“ “Isn’t there a runaway?”

“Yes. I confirmed that no one ran away either towards the hill or down the road.”

Demirea just nodded because it was a shame to even say thank you to Lennon Brissen, who seemed to think everyone was a knight when they wore knightly armor

. He turned his head towards Lennon again.

Lennon thought for a long time about what to say first, even though he was in pain, wondering if he knew you would be okay or if he had forgotten who we were. .

“The Gray Margrave of Briesen will not sit still for harming the Marquis of Briesen. Not only that, I will lead an army from the Marquis of Brisen.”

“No matter what happens, you won’t be in this world at that time, so there is no need to worry.” ”

Do you think you will be safe? The palace will definitely hold you accountable for this, Duke.”

Demirea just nodded. That’s because she didn’t want to talk any more.

Instead.

– Boom!

Something fell in front of Lennon, and Demirea fell. He gave an answer on his behalf.

“I don’t know who is blaming whom.”

A low, low voice was directed at Lennon.

What fell on the floor was a black bag that was very familiar to Lennon. It was Lennon who always prepared the poison, and that role was divided. This time was no different.

Lennon looked ahead with wide-open eyes, quickly grabbed his pocket and tried to say something. But the person who came now spoke a little faster. “I heard my brother said that you shouldn’t

intervene in the palace. .”

Unfamiliar clothing.

A pure white jacket down to the knees embroidered with gold thread. The emblem of Kairis engraved near the chest.

And

a clear Vulcan mark engraved on one forearm, not the back.

“I did not listen to my brother well. ”

Not the boring prince who did it every day.

Plantz, who had come to visit as the deputy commander of the Vulcan Corps, was looking down at Lennon Briesen.

And with that

– Quaaaaaang! Quaan! Boom!

An earth-shaking roar followed.

The mansion began to burn. As

if he was going to bury forever what happened there.
