Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family

10. April is the cruelest month – 03

And so, the cross-examination of Reiner Kreuzse, who visited the Empire on behalf of the Grand Duchess, came to an end.

To be precise, it was close to the fact that the truth about the Marquis of Illivatus was fuzzy due to the emperor’s bombshell remarks.

The Emperor, Reiner Kroyce, and various other great and small subjects all left, leaving the palace empty.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it symbolizes the authority of the empire and the imperial family. In the very place, those who were wearing indescribable ominous feelings were facing each other.

“You are a complete madman.”

One of them said that with a look of boredom, and the other person right next to him giggled and accepted his words.

“Why? I was having fun It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a guy who’s not just ruthless, but also has that level of taste in his head. It’s very interesting.”

“What is interesting? I don’t understand why His Majesty would like him so much for her. If the other guy had acted like that, he would have already slit his throat, but I wonder why he is so lenient toward him.”

“His Majesty is originally a person who likes unique people like that. And also, that kid isn’t just a mouthful. I think you guys have noticed that much too?”

At that remark, everyone gathered here silently nodded as if they couldn’t help it.

There is one thing we can be sure of because everyone present here has reached an absolute position by jumping over the borders.

Reiner Kreuzse, the only husband and son-in-law of Grand Duchess of Yohrha, and the luckiest person on the continent, who did not hesitate to be called by everyone the food bug of the Grand Duchess… It could not be anything other than a truly enigmatic existence that could not be perfectly penetrated even with their eyes.

No one here has ever grasped the true nature and bottom of the man named Reiner Kreuzze.

Yes. No one whatsoever.

“But I’m still not sure. To be honest, I didn’t feel any sign or energy from him. To be precise, I felt something, but compared to us, it was nothing more than an insect-like aura. But what do you see that makes everyone so sure?”

At his grumbling remarks, the person who had been silent until now quietly opens his mouth.

“I don’t know anything else, but I’ll vouch for the fact that his skills are real. Once the guy… He saw through my concealment at once. And that’s what he immediately recognized as soon as I cast my gaze at him.”

At his words, the faces of everyone around him changed into expressions of disbelief.

Strictly speaking, the people here were never close friends or anything like friendship.

To put it bluntly, it’s the exact opposite. That is to say, the level of friendship between dogs was very warm and fierce enough to make them accept it in a similar way to the Taoyuan resolution.

Although we are now in a state of holding back and gathering in one place because we have the same goal, it is clear that everyone here will do their best to explode each other’s heads without hesitation if given the opportunity. Did

But paradoxically, because of that, everyone here acknowledged each other’s ‘skills’ more than anyone else.

“Aren’t you mistaken? Did he really see through your presence hiding here at once?”

“Sure. As soon as I turned my gaze toward him, he also looked in my direction, perhaps sensing my presence. I can’t possibly explain it as luck.”

As he replied with a distorted face as if his pride was hurt, the man next to him also opened his mouth as if to help.

“There is another one. I don’t know about anything else, but it seems certain that his mental defense is at a level comparable to that of a master-class fighter. In addition to being unaffected by the ancient magic installed in the imperial palace itself, [Observation of Nature], It was not even affected by the mind-type magic secretly sent by the masters of the mage tower.”

“Maybe he was wearing some kind of mental artifact or Noble Phantasm? If not, it could be the blessing of a divine being or being born with such an ability… “

“If you did, don’t you think everyone in this room would have noticed that? Let it make sense.”

At the man’s confident words, everyone made strange faces without realizing it.

According to the information they have, Grand Duke Yohrha… In other words, the man named Reiner Kroyze was nothing more than an incompetent scum who met women well.

I’ve been wielding a sword since I was very young, but my swordsmanship in Jininba barely reached the level of a low-level knight, and talents other than swordsmanship were not even worth mentioning.

It was just because he was the husband of Karin von Charlotte Yorha, their future arch-enemy, that they had dug up that much information. Originally, they were mere idiots who were not even worthy of carrying a name in their heads.

But at this moment, all the premises they had assumed were overturned.

When I opened the lid, it was hard to say that the kid named Reiner Kreuzse was incompetent trash.

… No, no. I haven’t been able to pinpoint anything yet. Because the only thing that man showed them here was one mental defense that knew no bounds or limits.

“…..”

But at the same time they knew. The fact that human ability does not grow deformedly, as if it were adjusted to convenience.

All other abilities are just garbage, but only one mental defense has reached an almost absolute level beyond a master-class warrior?

I can say it. It is impossible. Unless a heavenly god looking down on this world from a high place favored that human being and threw at least his own authority, such a thing was something of an impossible kind.

“… Sure That guy, Reiner Kreuzse, is a warrior who has reached the level of a master. Even if you haven’t reached the realm of a Master, it’s certain that you’re located in a realm close to that. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain having such mental defenses.”

When someone says that in a confident voice, the others nod their heads without saying anything. In fact, they too came to a similar conclusion after much thought.

“Hmm, if Reiner Kroyze was really a master or an absolute being close to him… Ilibatus It seems that there is something understandable that the head of Illivatus lost his life so pointlessly. After all, he was in a state where he couldn’t generate his full power because of an injury he received in the past.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions like that. But as you said… Circumstantial, it is certain that Reiner Kroyze is somehow related to the death of Ilibatus.”

Because unless the Grand Duchess really went crazy, there’s no way she wouldn’t have used a human with that level of strength as her strength.

“It’s hard to believe that he reached such a height at such a young age… If that’s the case, then it’s easy to understand why Grand Duchess YoRHa chose that man as her husband.”

Everyone gathered here clearly knew what kind of woman the Grand Duchess of Yohrha was. No, she would have been correct in saying that she couldn’t have known.

‘It’s the same b*tch as a poisonous snake.’

Although the power of Jininba is very weak, they had no choice but to admit that tenacity to achieve their goal.

A normal person would have given up and put everything down a long time ago, but that woman didn’t give up or get frustrated even after learning the whole truth, she did everything she could to kill them with all her heart. .

There was no way that such a strong woman would ever get married because she was blinded by her love.

In all likelihood, the Grand Duchess must have noticed that her youngster named Reiner Kroyze actually had great powers, and she asked him for her hand in marriage.

If you can make someone who has reached the absolute stage become your own at the cost of a body, then there will be no business left.

“Then, the plan to blackmail the Grand Duchess by capturing Reiner Kreuzse or even kidnapping the lady-in-waiting the youngster brought must be reviewed.”

“Yes, I think it would be best to leave him alone for a while. Now that we don’t know exactly how much power that kid has, he could suffer unexpected damage if he rashly touches him.”

“It would be better if I could bring him over here.”

As the man licks his lips and says that, the person next to him opens his mouth as if mocking him.

“Stop talking nonsense. Didn’t Reiner Kreuze speak directly to his Majesty before? He said that he truly loves her grand duchess, and that he would never give up on her, so he would make her princess her concubine.”

“What the hell was that crazy thing about? Since he’s a crazy bastard, does he want to say that there’s nothing to be gained by embracing him?”

“There is that, but to be more precise, it is likely that at least the love story of the grand duchess that the youngster is talking about is sincere. Because most of the sane people don’t make up their minds to fight against both the Empire and the Demons for love.”

“… Indeed. In other words, since the boy at the moment is wrapped up in her grand duchess’s skirt and falls for her, it means that he will never betray her grand duchess. From that point of view, he has no choice but to become our enemy.”

“It seems that the romanticist of the century has been born. A scoundrel who volunteered to be the only side of a future traitor woman out of sincere love at most.”

Everyone in the room said that in a mocking voice, but in fact, I didn’t feel very comfortable. Because it was a situation where an unexpectedly strong person, who had not been included in the calculation until now, suddenly appeared, and there were also quite a few concerns that the youngster would act as an unexpected variable.

“However, it is also something to refrain from taking lightly of him. If he really defeated Illivatus, and if he must have slaughtered even the lower level demons under his command… The power that kid has might be beyond our imagination.”

With that said, he once again throws out a warning to everyone present in a calm tone.

“Don’t touch Reiner Kreuze prematurely. Do not carelessly touch or touch not only the guy himself, but also the girls he cares about. The guy is absolutely strong. In the worst case, he is a tremendously strong man who may easily surpass the master of the empire or the lord of the mage tower… “

****

And the empty place they all left.

Wow.

The next moment, the space is distorted and a woman emerges from it.

The identity of the woman was none other than Cirilla.

However, Cirilla’s current face was very different from the one she usually faces with Reiner.

Currently, her face was numb with no trace of emotion, and she had a chilly expression that felt only too cold.

“… You guys haven’t changed at all. It was and still is unbearably ugly.”

Muttering something like that, Cirilla indifferently looks at the empty seat they left with a cold expression.

“And you don’t even know the subject. With her foul mouth, she dares to comment on him.”

Cirilla gently closes her own eyes. At this moment, she had made up her mind how to deal with them.

“… After all, I have to kill him.”
