"Carlson, what are you doing here !?" Mia asked in a cold tone. "What does this mean!?"
"There's no special meaning, Mia." Earl Riea spoke in an indifferent tone. "I'm just taking the four of you back to the mansion."
“Heh.” A cold smile appeared on Mia's face. “So that's why you brought all these people here, yeah. To force us back.”
The earl did not answer. Instead, he turned his eyes towards me.
“Nice to see you again, Prince.”
"Just here, father-in-law." I smiled politely as if the black-clothed man around us wasn't there. “How is the family? Oh right, I forgot they were here with me.”
The Earl furrowed his brows, but despite being angry, he did his best to keep looking calm.
“Stop joking, Prince. Now, I hope you can leave my family, otherwise, I wouldn't mind using violence.
I curled my lips in a grin. "Oh? Do you really dare to attack a prince, Earl?”
"Well, you kidnapped my family first, so I'm sure everything will be fine if I'm careful not to hurt you too much" the earl said.
I laugh. A good reason.
However, some people are not as calm as I am.
Especially Mia. When he heard the Earl's words, his expression was down.
“... Sorry, Prince Claus. It's my fault.”
“Please don't worry, mother-in-law. No problem." I said calmly.
However, the situation seems a bit bad. The Earl had intercepted us when we were quite far away from the institute, so I couldn't expect reinforcements from there.
Moreover, all the people Earl Riea brought were elites, the weakest in the seventh layer. They are really a powerful force.
Lastly, there was someone with strong pressure hiding somewhere nearby.
… A thirteenth-tier practitioner.
How unexpected. So the earl still has someone like that, huh.
I killed three from the Riea family outside the twelve practitioner grade in the wolf forest, and another one when we destroyed the Blood Night Gang. In other words, this thirteenth tier practitioner would be the fifth super power of the Riea family.
As expected of one of the three largest families of the empire. Such a deep foundation.
But even for the Riea family, the five practitioners outside the twelfth layer are definitely nearing their limit.I'm pretty sure they only have one or two more.
Plus, the fact that the earl brought a thirteenth-tier practitioner to this situation meant that he was wary of something.
… Maybe my fiction teacher. After all, my teacher was supposed to be a powerhouse outside of the twelfth layer.
Mia looked at the number of men around us and sighed. "It looks like we won't be able to go with you this time, prince."
"But I hope you keep your promise" said Mia.
I smiled without answering.
you are too naive mother-in-law, you are not the real reason the earl is here.
you're just the excuse he used.
And as I expected, the earl spoke up at that moment. “It's great that you understand the situation, Mia. But that's not enough.”
"Huh?"
"Prince, I hope you can provide the documents my wife signed" said the Earl.
I grinned. As expected, this is your true goal.
"Carlson, how do you know about that !?" Mia was furious, but then, her son took a step forward.
With a proud expression, Al left our group and walked towards his father.
"I told him, '" said Al.
“You weren't expecting this, were you, mother? I brought communication with me and told dad everything you and him discussed. Do you think I would let you do something like that? ” says Al again.
"You ..." Mia glared at her son angrily. At the same time, Louise and Claire's expressions turned cold.
They did not expect this kind of betrayal.
In fact, I allowed it intentionally.
In a way, I can use this opportunity to get rid of Al. I don't need another man in my harem house.
And on the other hand, I can use this opportunity to completely sever Mia, Louise, and Claire's relationship with the earl.
"The document, Prince." The Earl insisted coldly. "I don't want to be forced to hurt you."
“... Hehe, so that's the real reason you're here.” Mia's expression was one of treason.
“You came here for documents, huh? We are never important.” said Mia shook her head.
“Be quiet, woman. Now is not the time for this.”
"You're right. Now is not the time. 'The interests' of the family are more important.” Mia said.
The Earl frowned, but he did not say anything and instead looked at me.
I looked at this situation with an amused smile. Mm, I think now is the time to move.
However, before I could move, Ysnay stopped me.
"… Can I?" ysnay looked at me.
I raised an eyebrow. What is this woman planning now?
Ysnay chuckles. “You should have a secret Master, right? Congratulations, from today onwards, I am your master.”
Then, Ysnay ignored my twitching expression and walked towards the earl. “Master, can you go? We are short on time.”
“You are... The prince's servant? How dare an ordinary servant talk to me like that?” earl Cibir.
Ysnay smiled. Instantly, a powerful aura erupted from his body and attacked him.
His aura was extraordinary, far beyond anything the earl had ever felt before. Even with the cultivation of his eleventh layer, the Earl felt like an ant.
Ysnay waved her hand, took out a thread-like sword from the void, and then, she looked around with a smile.
“you see sir. It's true I'm a waiter. But you know, I have another identity .. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ysnay Fate, and I am the master and teacher of Prince Claus."
When these words sounded, the earl's expression changed.
"You .. Be careful!" shouted Earl.
At the same time, Ysnay swung his sword.
“Stay at your place!” A voice came from behind the earl.
A thirteenth-tier powerhouse suddenly appeared and attacked Ysnay!
But it's too late.
Before he finished speaking, a brilliant white light flashed.
As the light faded, Ysnay smiled and turned around, returning to my side and not caring about the black-clothed man or the thirteenth-tier practitioner.
A moment later, blood-red flowers bloomed from the black-clothed man's body.
Then, they along with the thirteenth tier practitioner, collapsed.
Only Earl Riea and Al were left standing, unable to move a muscle out of fear.
“Family Riea. To think it has fallen this low. Claus, let's get back to the train. I've been handling insects our way.” said Ysnay acted like Master.
I smiled inwardly. Ladies, you really know how to pose as an unexpected powerhouse.
I restrained my laughter and called out to Mia, Louise, and Claire, who were looking at the scene with dumbfounded expressions.
"Let's go."
They looked at me and nodded before returning to the carriage in a daze. But when they saw Ysnay who was smiling again, they shivered.
I resisted the urge to sigh tiredly and shake my head.
As expected, dealing with this woman was exhausting.
