Chapter 216.

The first to come to his senses was Leonard.” Dad!”

He ran towards the hobbling Duke. I followed with a bewildered look on my face.” Dad, what the hell is going on? What about the demons? Would you prefer that horrible woman to deliver it obediently?”

Leonard didn’t even have time to catch his breath before he shooed the Duke out of the room.” That’s ……”

Panting, it was the Duke who had just opened his mouth for a moment.” Come, Duchess.”

Ice cold voice at the same time, the crown prince pulled me to hide behind him. And, before he could draw his sword, he aimed it at the duke.

“What is this for!”

“I, Your Highness! Why!”

I was stunned. Leonarde was speechless. The face of the duke, who had just returned, turned the color of earth. The crown prince raised his sword high, as if to cut him down, and immediately angled the blade. And.

“The Duke is right.”

As if Calisto confirmed something, the demonic object on the sharp down the blade.” …… What are you doing, your highness. Anymore the Crown Prince, is upset.” The Duke dispelled his anger and asked the Crown Prince.

“You said shine it on water or a mirror? I was just making sure you weren’t Leila, don’t get too angry, Duke.”

Having just committed extremely bad rudeness made the Crown Prince shamelessly shrug his shoulders. Hearing that, I couldn’t figure out why he did that. He instantly had eyes in his blood like he was setting up a game.

“You’ll surely become an unclean emperor, madman!”

Fortunately, the Duke also probably figured it out and said with a trembling expression.

“That child …… no, Leila didn’t meet either. You probably don’t know that I disappeared from the demon’s belly either.”

“How did you come back?”

The Crown Prince preempted the question. The Duke turned to me instead of answering. Then he pulled something out from inside his outer robe on the main island and handed it to me.

“Your foresight was right, Penelope.”

“This is …….”

Recognizing it on the Duke’s palm, eyes widened. A thin, round shape discolored like a burn. That was the simulacrum I gave to the Duke before the hunting competition.

“The demon’s stomach acid activates the moment it touches the body. When you open your eyes, it’s the woods where the mansion is located.” The Duke explained the original story. But it didn’t reach the ears very well.

“Than that …… do you have this ……?”

“So, who was it a gift from.”

The duke seems to talk back as a matter of course. Meanwhile, my face felt strangely distorted.

It’s been forgotten ever since. Unlike the crown prince who was always being assassinated, the duke was in little danger.

“I thought I threw it away or put it somewhere ……” kind of looked good as my preconceptions were skewed.

“It hasn’t left the body for a moment since I received it from you, so that’s good.” Looking at the finished Amorite, a satisfied smile appeared on the Duke’s face. Seeing that look, strangely choked.

“What. Tell me what kind of order was engraved at that time, was it a telex? Better than me.”

The Crown Prince said grumblingly from the side. Ignoring him, I finished slowly to the Duke.

“Isn’t …… hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine. Compared to him, are you the one who isn’t hurt? There’s a nosebleed. Did you stop the bleeding?” The person himself was even devoured by the demon. Seeing the worried Duke, indescribable feelings welled up in my heart. I was high as a kite like a fool and reluctantly opened my mouth

.” …… I’m sorry.”

The sudden deadly sin made the duke’s eyes glaze over.

“What is there to be sorry for.”

“I just …… left the house in silence …… and I don’t know if you heard me …… but I mean, it wouldn’t have mattered if I killed Ibn. ”

I don’t know about anything else if I see you again, but this is something I definitely want to tell you. Have to say. I gathered my courage and fumbled to spit it out.

“Not really, not really, Dad.”

My heart sank at the thought that in the belly of the demon, the Duke might have listened to me and died. I thought no one in the family mattered.” …… didn’t really mean it.”

But seeing the nice Duke was so reassuring it brought tears to my eyes. It’s so not funny. The way I was shocked at the loss of my own daughter and wanted the Duke to admit it. I couldn’t bear to face him and lowered my head.

But then.

Slap.

A slap landed on my head.

“Raise your head, Penelope.”

The Duke who put his hand on my head said in a low voice. I slowly raised my head.” Eckhardt will never bow his head in any situation. You, as a member of the family, also responded brilliantly in a critical situation without panic.”

Despite a dirty look full of dirt, the Duke showed the majesty of a great noble.

“Well done.”

Together with the magic horse, the duke stroked my head. I’ve often praised “well done”, but this is the first time I’ve physically touched it.

“Since you received this, you’ve shown it to everyone you’ve met and flaunted it. Now it’s time to tell them the name of your seer.”

“Yeah? What, what did you say?”

Until then, I had the worst reputation. The Duke didn’t even have enough sons to do that kind of thing to someone else, and I was appalled. The Duke laughed at my reaction.” Duke Eckhardt wrapped the daughter of the accident, it was said that eight could not be.”

Warmth gradually filled the voice that had been as heavy as the head of the family a moment ago.

“I’ve never cared what people who don’t know anything say. What does a child know that there might be an accident. Shouldn’t I be trying harder to be the father who tolerates your shortcomings?”

“No matter what I do, I’ve never been prouder of you, our daughter.” “Ha, ha.”

The circles around my eyes heat up dramatically. I couldn’t help it, wow something exploded. I didn’t make a sound as the tears streamed down my face. The Duke carefully embraced me like this. The field was silent. I don’t know if the eye color simply died, and the masterminds of the instantaneous demise of the two factions were also quiet.

Various feelings that could not be clearly named hit the whole body. Poor Penelope’s screams, my silent cries, faded so slowly.

Time passed, and slowly reason returned. The situation where I was being held by the Duke was starting to become too awkward.” , It’s okay now ……”

Time to pull myself together and bite the bullet in a hurry.” Your Highness! Your Highness!”

Finally someone called out sharply to the Crown Prince. Turning his head, one of his SS guards came panting in the distance.” It’s an emergency!” “What has happened?”

“Cronian rebels raided the palace in the early hours of the morning two days ago and took over the Palace of the Sun.” “What do you mean! Then why is it only being rumored now?”

The prince’s eyes snapped open at the original words of the green-faced knight. But the frightening report didn’t end there.

“That, that …… they were the first to assassinate the Sun Palace …… Hua, His Majesty the Emperor is expected to be held hostage season morning.” “Heh!”

The Crown Prince pointedly lost his smile. The palace where the emperor of the empire resides was the first to be attacked, this is also the thing.

“Were the forbidden guards and the remaining wizards of the palace knocked out of their sleep at that point? It’s like something even the dogs guarding the house couldn’t do.”

It’s not like it’s my fault, the driver lowered his head as if he had no face. After noticing Lost’s anger, Callisto immediately calmly began to understand the situation.

“Becoming those useless people, the palace’s defenses are determined. I can’t drill through it.” “It seems like there are forces working through the rebels and me to break the boundary.” “Anyone who decorated the rebel plot?”

“Before the raid, Marquis Ellen’s forces had confirmed emergency access to the Palace of the Royal Consort ……” “All right. There’s nothing more to hear.”

The Crown Prince listening to the report waved his hand nervously. Marquis Ellen is a relative of the Yellow Concubine. What.” So, the 2 Crown Prince faction and the rebels are working hand in hand against the conspiracy?” It was a time to carefully recall the cause and effect in the case of an eager return.” Shit.”

The Crown Prince who was contemplating with me suddenly broke into tears.” At that time those Delmans’ raid was a maze of eyes. No wonder they took the magic object and said the attack wasn’t real …… Are you trying to tie your feet for this?” His words suddenly flashed across his brain.

※Prince! -Their electricity is stronger than expected! In that case, you might lose all the magical objects! Don’t proceed with the original action …….

The panicked Delman soldier who was kidnapped by Ikris shouted. In the end, then, the current state of affairs was happening under the orders of Ryan Iben. You should know when you’re talking nonsense ……’

That lunatic had finally screwed this up. Ikris, rebels, Ellen’s backstabbing, counter-plotting

I suddenly got goosebumps as I slowly organized my thoughts. It’s scary not knowing exactly where Ibn has his hands.
