~Ufia's POV~
"So, Ufia, how?"
"Eh? What how is the Princess?"
I didn't understand the meaning of Princess Jeanne's question, so I asked back.
Right now, we're cleaning up Lugalgin's newly attacked house. Honestly, cleaning the walls and furniture from blood is a very troublesome thing. Why the hell didn't he just call the cleaning team? If you call them, this job will be finished quickly.
"What about your deal with Lugalgin? Do you think this time the invaders are the Alhold family who signed the affidavit?"
"Ah, that. I'm not sure about the Princess yet. I hope not."
I tried to convince myself that the one who attacked Lugalgin was not the Alhold family who signed the loyalty letter. My stomach's been hurting since the attack that night. I don't want my stomach to be hollow.
Fortunately, the attacker's body was in a mess and there was no face left to identify the attacker. Even though they're my own family, I'm grateful that they died without leaving je–
"Oh, yes, Ufia." Princess Inanna got into the conversation. "I hate to destroy your will, but, apparently, the perpetrator was one of the Alholds who signed the affidavit. If it's not wrong, it's Hasman."
"Eh?"
And, all of a sudden, Princess Inanna cut off my thoughts. Not just cutting, he even dropped the biggest bomb possible for me. However, I have not been able to take it for granted. A little part of my heart still tries to resist.
"Ah, um, know where?"
"So, while cleaning the scattered limbs, I found a purple stone ring. And, as far as the documents I've read, only Hasman is wearing that strange ring. Or do you have another possibility?"
Nah! I don't have any! I know for a fact that only one person was wearing that cheap synthesis ring!
Uncle Hasman! Why are you doing this?
Not just stomach pain. This time, my legs were affected as well. I could not feel the slightest force on these two legs, making me fall.
"Ufia!"
As agreed, Lugalgin would purge the Alhold family, including me and my family, if the Alhold family signed a treasonous pledge of allegiance.
Is this the end of my life? Nah! I haven't even felt love! I don't want to die young!
"Law.... Uuu....."
Slowly, my eyes began to blur. Without being able to control it, tears began to flow down my cheeks.
"Iwanda....."
Without being able to contain it, all the tears flowed. I was screaming too, crying. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea what I can do right now.
Lugalgin was my teacher. Although there is a saying that the student will surpass the teacher, but I have not reached that point. I can't fight him. My life was over when Uncle Hasman attacked this place.
"I don't want to die yet.I don't want to die young...."
I keep whining. The words stored in the depths of my heart appeared.
Wh why? Why is this all happening? Why my life is so suffering.
"She.. shh...." Princess Jeanne put down the mopstick and hugged me tightly. "It's okay. Lugalgin won't kill you. I'll try to persuade him."
"But.. but...."
But Princess Jeanne would be dragged if she did. If that happens, I don't know what will happen to Princess Jeanne.
I tried to say that, but my mouth wouldn't allow it. My mind is still too afraid of the possibility of dying at the hands of Lugalgin. I still cry nonstop.
"What the–"

~Lugalgin's POV~
"-****?"
What's the matter?
After a few hours I stayed, when I came home, a strange sight was presented. I don't know what happened, Ufia cried and Jeanne hugged her. Are you guys lesbians? Yuri's? Then forgive me for coming at the wrong time.
"Gin! I know what you're thinking! Dan, no! We're not like that!"
Suddenly Jeanne interrupted my fantasy. Is my reaction clear? Well, understandably, there is no need for a poker face.
"Gin, man,"
Suddenly Inanna threw a small object at me. Reflex, I caught it.
Purple ring? Wait a minute, let me remember. Ah, yes, this is Hasman's ring. Only that person was wearing this strange ring. While I was looking at this ring, Inanna gave a summary of why Ufia was crying.
"Ah, so is it." I understand Ufia's feelings. "Actually, since there is another matter, I am being scheduled to clean up the Alhold family. So, actually, whether Hasman attacks or not, the result will be the same."
"VIVAHHH....."
And the cry of Ufia grew louder. On the other hand, at the end of the room, I saw Ninlil grinning.
"Gin!" Jeanne yells.
I ignored Ufia and walked towards Jeanne.
"Jeanne, where is the complete document containing the cooperation of the Cleinhad and Alhold Families? The documents I could access were few, only the last ten years. I need a complete one."
Jeanne gasped when she heard me. However, he did not give an answer, he simply threw away his face.
"You know where?"
"I, that....."
"If you don't want to tell me, I'll ask Agade and Akadia for help to extract information from everyone who might have information."
Jeanne looked straight at me. I could see cold sweat running down his neck.
Jeanne knew very well that Agade and Akadia were seeking information, so the methods of torture and extortion were inevitable. And, if that were to happen, there was a chance that one of the royal families would become a victim as well.
This kingdom has been unable to control the black market organization ever since I cleaned up the Cleinhad family. Agade and Akadia are already in control, but these two organizations are under my control, not royal intelligence.
"The "documents had a higher level of secrecy than any other document. So, to access it, you need my father's written permission."
"Fahren?"
"Gin, man,"
Just now that I mentioned Fahren's name, suddenly the Emir had already placed both hands on my shoulders. He gently massaged my shoulder from behind. Did he think I was emotional when he heard Fahren was involved?
"What if I asked for that permission? I'll try to persuade you."
"Huh," I sighed. "Emir, do you realize that your father is being weird? Even if you ask for it, I'm not sure she'll just give it to you."
"That-that's....."
Emir's massage stopped when he heard my words. He seems to have forgotten that his father is strange.
"What do you mean weird?"
Jeanne finally got back into the conversation.
"I'll explain while cleaning. You guys cleaned it up too long."
