“Is what you want to say now the will of Marquis Carthia?”

“That’s right. I have come here representing all of Carthia, including my father.”

Curtis, who had been scanning Riggs up and down, burst into a hearty laugh and straightened his hunched body.

“Let’s hear it. I ‘m interested to hear what information Marquis Carthia has.”

“Until now, Marquis De Flon faithfully served His Majesty, and was also loyal to His Highness, the successor appointed by His Majesty. However, after the accident at the last hunting competition, the way things started to change.”

“So?”

Curtis seemed interested as if he was hearing it for the first time, but he must already know that Marquis De Flon and the second prince are trying to hold hands. If they were going to move him like that, they had to give you more information than that.

Yurina nodded to Riggs, who was waiting for her reaction. Riggs continued.

“After the last accident in Carthia House, we have been tracking to see if there are any remaining warlock forces. Black magic is said to be unrecognizable even to original wizards, but as we saw during the hunting tournament, Blessed including Sir Reynard are said to be able to recognize it.”

“A black magician? Why did that suddenly…”

Curtis, who had been responding without much inspiration, frowned.

“You mean to tell me that Marquis De Flon…

“Yes. Not only that, but Carthia House thinks he was behind the attack during the hunting competition.”

Yurina continued instead of Riggs.

“His Majesty the Emperor has already regarded the warlock forces who raided the hunting competition in which His Highness participated as traitors and punished them appropriately. If Marquis De Flon, who was behind the scenes, and His Highness the 2nd Prince joined hands, we don’t know what would happen next.”

After hearing Yurina’s words, Curtis made a somewhat complicated face. He gestured as if to wait, and was lost in thought for a moment. Yurina calmly waited for him to finish thinking.

‘It’s probably going to be hard for him to digest.’

It was a thought that Yurina and Carthia’s people put together over several weeks. Besides, since Yurina knew the contents of the original story and the enmity Marquis De Flon had against her since her childhood, it was easy for her to accept these facts.

But for Curtis, it would be like a thunderstorm.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but there are some corners where I can’t believe what you say. Marquis De Flon has been loyal to the imperial family along with Marquis Carthia. I can’t believe that he is a black magician, but he joins hands with the 2nd prince and tries to target me?”

Curtis got up from his seat and approached Yurina with slow steps.

“How can I be sure that what you say is true?”

“Didn’t Your Highness already see that Reynard, who is supported by our family, discovered black magic?”

“Ask the question differently.”

Before she knew it, he came right in front of Yurina.

“Even if Marquis De Flon is a warlock, that isn’t enough. It is said that he controlled the wolf using black magic, but in reality, the wolf attacked you, not me. If there really was another black magician, you should have targeted me then. Are you really trying to frame a relationship between me and the second prince with uncertain information?”

Yurina knew this question would come up. At first glance, his words sounded like he didn’t believe them and was angry.

But Curtis should already know that the second prince is striving to take his place. If so, then what he has just said is only a demand for stronger evidence.

At Yurina’s resolute words, Curtis gestured as if to speak without showing signs of being shaken.

‘As expected, I was told to give more information.’

If he had really believed in the second prince, he wouldn’t have reacted so calmly.

“When I visited Crohn Kingdom in the past, I was attacked by rebel forces.”

“I’ve heard that too. It’s a pity that the young lady almost suffered a major disaster in Crohn Kingdom, which is like my other homeland.”

“It happened a long time ago, and as a result, nothing special, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. But my father questioned why they were targeting me, a foreign nobleman and not someone else, and he pursued their activities until now.”

“So did you find it?”

“Yes. It took a long time, but I finally found the one behind it.”

Curtis’ face hardened slightly, as if he had anticipated the story that would follow. Yurina opened her mouth, receiving a feeling from his expression that this conversation might turn out well.

“It was also Marquis De Flon who instigated the rebel forces that attacked me.”

The hometown of Curtis’s mother, the former Empress, was the Crohn Kingdom. The relationship between him and the Crohn royal family was so special that Curtis called the Crohn Kingdom his other homeland.

Whether Marquis De Flon intended or not, it was an act that could ultimately threaten Curtis that he joined hands with the rebel forces of the Crohn Kingdom.

It would be annoying that the 2nd Prince and Marquis De Flon had already joined hands, but Marquis De Flon joined hands with the rebels of the Crohn Kingdom in the past and he is a warlock?

Curtis won’t be able to stand by and watch the union of the two.
