“Serena, how was your trip?”
Sven immediately asked Serena, who was returning from the Duke of Icard's.
“Yes, I enjoyed it.”
Serena answered cheerfully, rubbing her curly red hair with her fingers.
“She is very sweet.”
While Sven stroked the black cat, Serena began to report what happened today.
“But the Duke of Icard knew that he had a disease so that he would die at the age of twenty. He told me to lie.”
“Hoo?”
Serena blinked and continued strangely.
“Duke of Icard wasn't surprised to hear it. but he knew it hurt, so he gave it to the boy. He was also thinking of putting him in as a civil servant, and I was like, 'what's going on here?'”
The more he heard the details, the more interested Sven became. He just scratched his chin and smiled meaningfully.
"I think he has the potential to hold back and shake the Imperial family later."
When she first heard about him, she wondered if the boy knew the weight of his words well.
Marriage was the easiest way to maintain and shake up the Imperial family.
When the Duke of Icard let Laria and Evan get married, the public opinion split in two.
Most people said Duke Icard wouldn't be that greedy and he was just on his guard. A small number of people thought there would be something more complicated than that.
Although this makes it clear.
Laria, the person who was actually in charge, was among the last.
He thought that Duke Icard would leave him. So, he thought of escaping while pretending to be on time with his deadline.
Divorce was not recognized in the Empire. Therefore, the easiest way for Duke Icard to leave Laria was by…
It was surprising that at that age, he thought about it and prepared an action.
He seems capable of acting well enough to fool the greatest Duke of Icard in the world.
He saw Laria at the racetrack. He is very happy to be with Duke Icard and Evan.
"It's not unusual for his age." Sven muttered while thinking.
"You need to be careful."
Serena finished her report, fiddled with her hair, and looked up.
"If I'm watching him, where do you think I should keep looking?"
"Listen, maybe even our master."
"What?"
Sven looked at the black cat sitting on his lap and said.
"Neo react."
Seen from the look of his surprised face.
“B-really?”
"Yes." Yeah." Sven spoke with a thinking face.
Although he looks like a cute cat, Neo is a demon who has been living in the human world for a while.
The Neo reaction means that the wavelengths of the demon and Laria are correct. The fact that its wavelength is correct means that it is somehow related to black magic.
"I have to watch carefully."
"But aren't you still too young?"
“One decade or more is not a long time for us.”
“It is difficult to find someone with this condition. Especially if Neo reacts.”
Sven stroked Neo's back, the black cat. Neo yawned lethargicly and closed his eyes.
"I think I was born with the ability to see things, the ability to see things ahead of time and deal with them. and see if I really had the guts to move things."
“I'll keep an eye on you.”
Serena blinked her eyes as if she was interested.
"Because I'm gonna stay with you."
“Alright, keep an eye on him. I'm not putting a VIP like you on him for no reason. ”
In fact, Serena was also the vice guild leader of the Vestian Dark Information Guild.
At first, he noticed Duke Icard, but it was good enough that he could naturally recruit new guild members.
But now, he was much more curious about Laria than the inner thoughts of Icard.
"What do you mean?"
“Last time he came to our cafe, he smelled something burning in the back building..find the source.”.
"What?" Sven's forehead frowned.
It was then that he remembered a suspicious witch who rented a place on the lower floor of the building, where his mother lived.
“We have banned experiments with fire, but we have to check them just in case.”
“Ya... You can let her go, although Laria says our relationship is precious and she cares for us.”
"…Through? Valuable relationship?”
“Yes, because he's kind of locked up in the Duke of Icard.
"So so…"
Sven stroked Neo and thought for a moment.
He thought he was a cold and cold-hearted child, but he had a warm personality, concerned with such trivial matters. So, she naturally felt that she wanted to continue to connect with him.
“Hmm, but I'm afraid of Miss Laria..” Serena squinted and whispered.
"You think he's going to explode, don't you?"
Sven played his chin for a moment.
Making a loan name, buying land, and pretending to be sick, should be considered dark intentions.
Avoiding boundaries by pretending to be time bound.
I'm sure he has made more mature plans in the future when he can look forward so far.
"Maybe?"
"Then...he will break up with Evan in the end, right?"
"Maybe?"
“Wah, good for you.”
Serena clapped her hands and said.
“Married someone she had never seen before at fourteen. He will have the opportunity to meet many men in the future.”
“Don't be too petty. What kind of man does he want?”
“He can be his master. Excuse me."
Serena's face was very bright.
“Why is she tied up in a political marriage if they are going to break up? It is possible that you can find it step by step and establish relationships with others.”
"Horry."
Sven shook his hand.
"If Evan thinks of Laria, she'll have a real stabbing."
"Hey, it's a political marriage."
"Duke of Icard is also in a political marriage."
Sven's voice sounded serious.
“However, even with Matilda, it really stands out. It may exist across the continent.”
"He'll find her if he doesn't go."
“From what I've heard, Evan only trains swords all day. I don't think he's too close to Laria..”.
“That's something to watch out for. That guy reminds me of another possibility. Something strange is also happening here.”
"Something weird?"
“A commoner came to see me, and he said that he was the one who got the money from the dark horse.”
"Hmm?"
“And with that money, he wants to buy Hanua territory with his title.”
"Gosh my god."
“He was short of money, so he could only buy land that Laria did not buy. He was a little embarrassed to hear that half of them had changed owners.”
"Handsome?"
“She is quite obedient.”
Serena removed her finger from her hair and frowned while thinking.
Now, the two people who won money at the horse racing event are doing the same thing in the same place.
“...Maybe he has a very capable stalker? He's got someone who has the same plan as him.”
“Yeah... that's most likely, but we have to wait and see. Report this fact to Laria, but I do not know how she will receive it.”
"Okay, I'll judge for myself."
Serena said slowly, her green eyes glittering.
"I don't know if he's the one Sven's been waiting for."
