The Eternal Debauchery's

one week

Although I felt like playing around with the general and looking forward to his plot to kill me, in the end, it was just a game to pass the time. There are more important things I have to deal with.

Especially, that unknown Immortal.

So, while the army continued its journey towards the frontlines, I disguised myself and used my Clark identity to go to the Daemon Empire several times.

My goal was to try to find a clue about the Immortal plan in the Daemon Empire and destroy it, but even after trying for a long time, I failed to find anything.

He had hidden his plan very well.

Initially, I thought that the war against the daemon was the method he would use to arrive in this world, and in fact, that was one of the reasons I accepted coming to the frontlines. But after visiting the Fairy Forest and knowing that this war was something the elves were fanning behind the scenes, I wasn't so sure.

However, I did not dispose of this possibility completely.I visited the daemon emperor and scanned his mind without him noticing, even scanning the thoughts of some of his ministers, but I did not find any traces of the Immortal.

As if he doesn't exist.

However, I found a small clue.

Apparently, this war was something that the Daemon God wanted.

And after seeing the Immortal using the body of the Daemon God to create an imitation of himself in this world, I believe the Daemon God was under the influence of the Immortal for a long time.

The question is how many?

Was the war something he provoked or something completely unrelated?

I'm not sure, but there's a good chance he's planning on using the soul of a deceased person to summon his main body to this world.

However, when I examined the possibility, I realized that nothing messed up the souls of the dead except for a few elves who still had not received the order to stop.

Again, I'm at a dead end.

I can only breathe in my heart. If I can't find the method he planned to use to arrive in this world, I won't be able to delay his arrival.

Helpless, I could only keep trying.

Just like that, a week passed.

During this week, the soldiers continued to advance to the frontlines, and they only needed three more days to arrive.

This week has been a waste for me. Other than sleeping with my girls at night, trying to look for clues about the Eternal One, and visiting Emilia twice, I did nothing.

But that changed today.

Finally, we arrived at the place we promised to meet with the Carmell family.

As previously agreed, the caravan separated from the soldiers and took a different route. We would meet again two days later, right before arriving at Fort Mist.

“... I'm surprised the general is not against your departure. Is he not afraid of you running away? ” Aunty Dayana said curiously.

“He would be very happy if I did that. At that time, my enemies will brand me as a defector and they will have the right reasons to make me shorter.”

Aunt Dayana was shivering, her face slightly paled.

He then looked at me with a complicated expression.

“Sorry Claus, though I should have been your unifier. There's not much I can do to help you. Sometimes, I feel I'm useless.”

“What's being talked about, Auntie? you did more than enough. Thanks to you, I don't have to worry about the Auction Hall or my business in the empire. ”

Aunt Dayana chuckled softly and smiled.

“As expected of a woman like you. You always know what words to say.”

“By the way, Claus, are you sure you want to finalize this deal. We can still go back now.”

"Do you feel anxious?"

"of course. This deal could not be more suspicious. Obviously the Carmell Family is planning something big, and I'm sure they won't mind killing us to accomplish that. Who knows? Maybe they'll try to kill us as soon as we finish the exchange to silence us.”

“You're partly right, Auntie. However, I don't think they're that stupid. ”

"Huh?"

“For the Carmell Family, we are still useful, and that means they will not get rid of us as long as we are still useful. Of course, that was another matter after that. ”

"Though so-!"

"But just as they use me, I use it too."

"Huh?"

Seeing Aunt Dayana's confused expression, I smiled playfully.

“If I'm going to make my sister empress, I'll do a very good job at it, and I have to get rid of everyone who can hurt her.”

"You mean…?"

“The Carmell family wanted to use us as spearheads, but they didn't know that I was also using them to fan the flames. Then, Dina will have the perfect justification to ascend the throne and clean up all the imperial trash, get a stable kingdom to rule.”

Aunt Dayana was stunned. However, he could feel the confidence in my voice.

And for some reason, his face couldn't help but get hot.

“... Claus, you look very handsome when you are like this.”

I looked at him and rolled my eyes.

“What are you talking about, Auntie? I've always been handsome.”

Laughing softly, I looked towards the capital, my gaze piercing through the distance of thousands of kilometers.

If I'm not mistaken, they'll move soon.

The situation in the capital will be interesting.

…

Meanwhile, in the military camp.

General Liko Noel looked towards Claus and the others left with thoughtful expressions.

At that moment, a shadow appeared behind him, taking the form of a man and kneeling down.

“... General, should we move now? I think it's a good opportunity.”

The general hesitated a little before sighing and shaking his head.

“No, let's follow the plan. The prince still had a troublesome teacher following him everywhere. With him by his side, our chances of success are not high. ”

"But then, are we not going to do anything?"

"Patience. Being reckless at this point can ruin our plans. This time, the prince would not run away. And even if he survived, the gallows would be waiting for him in the capital.”

"i understand. I'll follow your orders.”
