Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family

7. Heir to the Empire – 02

“Such a f*cking bastard, how dare you play with me!”

Boom!

A spacious and luxurious room prepared for the imperial delegation.

Befitting the room the Grand Duchess prepared for the delegation herself, the inside was filled with all sorts of luxurious artworks and ornaments, but unfortunately, nothing was left intact in the room.

Because it’s been a long time since Marquis Illivatus, who was so angry, shattered all the items in this place without a trace.

“This kind of anger and contempt is the first feeling I have felt since being hurt by that b*tch.”

The Marquis of Ilibatus muttered as he touched the mask covering the right side of his face.

It was truly humiliating. No, rather than humiliating, it was shameful.

As far as power is concerned, a bug that can literally be killed with a single finger, no, a trash with such a difference that he wouldn’t even dare to look at himself with his eyes open, insulting himself like this!

But what made it even more infuriating was that in the midst of so many people watching, Marquis Illivatus couldn’t say anything to Reiner.

Especially when you consider that the Grand Duchess was secretly laughing at herself!

“Reiner, Reiner Kreuzse!”

In the end, the Marquis of Illivatus, who couldn’t overcome his anger, leaks out sticky magic reminiscent of coal tar. The Marquis had lost her sanity to the point that she even forgot that she was currently mimicking a human.

“Go, sir! This is the same place as Grand Duchy of Yohrha, in the middle of enemy territory! There is a risk that someone from the Grand Duke might notice if you take out demonic energy in a place like this… !”

“Noisy! Do you guys think I’m an idiot for not thinking that much?”

Due to the possible danger, the Marquis had already spread a barrier around this room to prevent the spread of demonic energy to the outside.

No matter how much it is, it is because at this point, when the grand finale is about to come, he wanted to avoid revealing his identity to humans.

Cuckoo.

The dark magic that had been thick around Marquis Illivatus like fog returned to his body again. Not only is it not enough to break down all the obstacles around him, but after pouring out his dark magic once, a cold-hearted reason starts to return to his head again.

‘If you think about it… From the beginning, he was a kid who gave off a feeling of displeasure for some unknown reason.’

Yeah, now that I think about it, that kid had somehow offended the marquis from the moment we first met. And I knew all too well what the reason was.

Because the Marquis himself thinks it’s really ridiculous, but… For some reason, the boy’s body exuded something similar to that Elyos girl.

‘It will be just a mere coincidence. It’s impossible for that b*tch, who has been hiding from us for over a hundred years, to be in the Grand Duchy of YoRHa at this point.’

The Marquis of Ilibatus is also familiar with it. All of a sudden, the Elyos girl he hated the most and the bloody bastard exuded similarities by chance, but the possibility of a connection between the two was infinitely small.

The field that the Elyos woman is in charge of as an angel is nothing other than ‘life’. In principle, there was a possibility that all living things in the world contained the woman’s energy.

Of course, it was a theoretical story to the end, but it wasn’t a very unlikely story either. Perhaps, it is clear that the youngster also belongs to such a case.

However, even with such a simple coincidence, Marquis Illivatus’ life for Reiner was soaring without knowing the end. To the extent that if Reiner had been here, he would have pulled out the son of a b*tch’s fluttering tongue first and then started talking.

“By the way, did you find ‘evidence’?”

“Anyway, it was the first day, so we couldn’t find conclusive evidence, but we were able to find various circumstantial evidence. Combined with the clues we’ve gathered over the past month, it could be pretty meaningful.”

“Yes, that alone is the only good news.”

The reason why the emperor’s delegation, including the Marquis of Illivatus, arrived at this point, a month after the wedding, was to have a confrontation between her and her unworthy pride, as expected by her grand duchess. It wasn’t.

I wonder if even the Grand Duchess would have noticed by now. About the fact that even her empire has a rough idea of what her cute plan is currently plotting.

“Never let your guard down. Contrary to her appearance, the Grand Duchess is a formidable woman. It is not for anyone to fall upon her knees, and prostrate herself beneath him, to speak of her allegiance to the one who slain her flesh and blood. You never know what a girl like Sagal will do if cornered, so you should always keep a close eye on her.”

At the words of Marquis Illivatus, the attendants who were in the city behind him nodded as if they understood.

“Then what should I do with the informant who was originally scheduled to be assigned to Reiner Kreuzze? Would it be all right if I gave instructions to collect information related to Reiner Kreuzze as scheduled?”

“… No, just leave it alone. It’s hard to see that such a scumbag kid is hiding something, and even if he has something to hide, it’s impossible for such a kid to have an impact on a major country.”

Marquis of Illivatus said that, trying to erase Reiner’s unlucky face from his mind.

He masturbated to himself, saying that the agitation that somehow stirred in a corner of his heart must be a murder aimed at that cheeky kid.

****

“Hmm, must my face-impaired friend be upset by now? Cirilla, what do you think? Do you think that bastard might have turned Yama now or not?”

“… Then, of course, the eyeballs are left to turn. He was humiliated like that while other people were clearly watching, so it wouldn’t be strange at all if he was plotting an assassination against the Bocchan by now.”

I burst out laughing when Cirilla said that she was fed up.

“Then, of course you should be pissed off. I acted like that on purpose to make that facially disabled pup angry, but if he doesn’t get angry, I’m rather sorry about this one.”

Actually, I was looking forward to it to some extent. The expectation that he might not be able to overcome his anger and reveal his true nature in front of others.

But he is also a demon like a serpent that has been roaming around for hundreds of years in the material world. He must have been insulted at most, but he was not such an idiot that he forgot where he was.

Even though I was licking my lips at the regret I felt for some reason, Cirilla didn’t scold me or say anything condescending like usual. They just look at me in the way that I am infinitely worried.

“… Bocchan, I know that too. It’s just that the young master didn’t provoke the person because he simply had a bad personality or because he had a broken personality. That this is also part of the plan that the Bocchan has personally made. But… “

Cirilla involuntarily made his body tremble. Just thinking about the image of him passing by from just before gave me goose bumps, and a chill ran down his spine.

It was a terrible and terrifying magic. A black, gooey, ugly power, preferably accompanied by such an ominous quality that one would never want to face it again in life.

From noble mtl dot com

The power that exists at the opposite point of the opposite of the one that Sei embraces and embraces everything in the world gently.

If there had been a little more time, if Cirilla had formed more than 5 circles of her own, the story might have been different.

However, Cirilla had only learned magic for about a month.

During that one month, Cirilla made progress unimaginable to a normal mage and obtained mighty powers… Nonetheless reckless

As for what is reckless, it feels so foolish to raise a sword and fight against such an existence. That’s what it meant to oppose its existence.

And his owner was trying to fight against the one who accompanied such an ominous thing.

“… Who is Sei? Could Sei-unni be involved in this matter?”

At this point, Sei’s power is absolute. Even if Reiner and Cirilla had 10 of them, she was strong enough that she wouldn’t even dare to go against her.

Critically, Say is an existence that is naturally located at the opposite point of the Marquis of Ilibatus. If she could borrow her power, she might even be able to eradicate her existence without any risk.

But.

“Say doesn’t step out. Of course, she’s going to do a bit of support behind the scenes, but it’s up to the two of us to take on the standout roles. You know very well why.”

“…..”

Cirilla’s face darkened rapidly at my firm words. After a brief lull in the conversation, Sei, who had been quietly listening to our conversation beside her, suddenly opened her mouth to express her doubts.

“Wait a minute, master. Listening to the story quietly, there are a few things that don’t make sense. If it is not presumptuous, would it be all right if I ask the master a question?”

As I nod her head in her affirmation, Sei tilts her head, blinking her own eyes as if she doesn’t really understand her.

“First of all, I understand that I shouldn’t rush into the plan to kill Ilibatus. With my help, it would be possible to reliably kill Illivatus on the spot, but if things go wrong by any means, you won’t be able to easily deal with the aftermath.”

From my current standards, Illivatus was a formidable enemy, but at the same time, looking at the entire 「Erantia Saga」, Such a guy was nothing more than a mid-boss.

You know what? The pitiful friends who always show me that they are so f*cking strong in terms of settings, but in actual in-game terms, they are nothing more than a dick.

For example, a duelist who always trembles about having a heartache while playing card games, or a boxer who talks about being the main character’s rival, but after every fight the spiritual pressure disappears, and eventually defeats humans. One person can be cited as a great example.

In any case, the original Illivatus was a powerful demon, but the current one was in a state where there were a lot of penalties like a mid-boss. However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be impossible to break the main story in the future if we do not catch this bastard with our own strength.

Also, considering the fact that Sei is not completely subordinated to me, but is a temporary servant whose master-servant relationship will be canceled someday if she achieves her goal, this is all the more so.

“But if you think about it that way, shouldn’t Master and Cirilla also show up hastily? No, on the contrary, I think it would be more fatal for us to have the master’s true identity discovered by the Empire.”

The true identity of Reiner that Sei knows is none other than an Apostle of the Stars. He was a being with a huge mission that was incomparable to himself, a servant of a heavenly god.

So, if you consider her importance, her liner is much more important than her, and if you consider her dignity, you must be much more noble than her.

Isn’t it better to hide the fact that the ‘Apostle of the Stars’ exists on this side, even if it means being exposed to the front… That was Sei’s idea.

“No, the difference between me and you is quite different. I just have to hide my current appearance and it will be over, but you have to hide the divine power itself. Isn’t it obvious which one has the greater difficulty?”

If Sei ever exposed her holy power to the outside world, there was no way that the demons, who would have seizures from the power of holy power like cockroaches hit by F-Killa, would not be able to detect it.

“And by the way, I also have no intention of going to the fore with this plan. Didn’t you find a face madam to stand in front of us in preparation for this situation?”

As I said that, I turned my gaze to one side, and Cirilla and Sei’s gazes were also focused in that direction.

And at the end of our gaze, there was Yurika, who had been listening to our conversation with a blank expression.

“Eh… master? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, what. I think the time has come for you to pay for the meal.”

As I said that, I smiled and smiled at Yurika.

“Yuri, it seems that from today you will have to become our master. No, I think I will. Majesty.”

“… Yes? Me, me?”

The long period of humiliation and persecution that Yuri has received so far ends with this.

Starting today, it was time for Yuri, the half-punish maid, to return to the imperial princess, Yurika del Cartesia.
