5.
“Is this the end?”
Leo muttered as he looked at the Knights of the Order of the Sea who were walking around the mansion, collecting evidence.
Caron snickered at those words that sounded like a soliloquy.
“It’s just the beginning, what is it?”
“What else is there?”
Charon looked down through the window.
Oh Yoon, who had just been captured, was being dragged out of the gate, tied with rope.
“He’s just a tail. We need to find out who’s behind it. It wasn’t a mission that could be completed overnight.”
“Then what is our mission? What should we do if Grandpa says something?”
“We’ve gathered some very useful clues, so let’s consider the mission a success, right?”
If you take Oh Yoon to Cheonghae Castle and interrogate him, you will be able to obtain some pretty good information.
The basement of Cheonghae Castle is such a place.
A place that makes you vomit out everything you know.
“The evidence I received from Caligo was very valid.”
Caron let out a soft breath as he recalled the information and evidence Poina had provided earlier.
Caligo had already detained Oyun’s family as they were leaving Thebes.
If they had not cooperated so readily, it is unlikely that this would have gone so smoothly.
It was definitely an interesting organization in many ways.
“Oh. By the way, I never dreamed that the prince would be in a place like that. Isn’t it so different from the rumors?”
Leo said, smacking his lips.
“What’s different, bro?”
“No, they said that the 6th Prince was a total rascal and a lunatic. My first impression was similar to the rumors, but when I thought about it, I thought that wasn’t his real self.”
Caron looked at Leo like that and gave him a thumbs up as if he was proud of him.
“Hey, bro. But have you gotten a better eye for people since you’ve been drinking a lot of water lately?”
“Is that a compliment?”
“It’s a good habit to always be suspicious, brother. But that prince, that crazy bastard, seems to be right.”
For the time being, it was necessary to continue watching and understanding.
There is still too little information about what the 6th Prince’s purpose is and what he is planning.
One thing is for sure, that guy is bound to cause something big.
Anyway, when I go to the capital, I will meet that guy again.
This time, I said I would attend the banquet the royal family is holding for Charon and Leo.
Charon nodded slightly, then took a small crystal ball out of his pocket.
The head of Caligo, a direct contact handed over by Poina.
Woohoo.
As I breathed some magic into the crystal ball, Poina’s voice soon rang out.
“It’s not over. It’s just beginning.”
Her request was to become friends with the 6th Prince.
But Caron knew that this was no ordinary friendship.
In the circumstances, Caligo is a force protecting the 6th Prince.
In other words, the 6th Prince had effectively declared his intention to join the Duke of Reston.
So there was something I had to make clear before that.
“Why didn’t you tell the Duke of Reston about this evidence?”
There are two pieces of evidence provided by Caligo.
The corpses of slaves forced to plant explosives, and the governor who supervised them.
It is unclear how such evidence came into their hands.
But the answer that came back was very simple.
“There should have been plenty of time to dispose of the explosives.”
She complained, then said in a playful voice.
“If you knew, you would have helped me?”
She was not wrong.
The fact that Caron and his party are taking a train to the capital is known only to the Duke of Reston.
It was natural for Caligo, based in Thebes, to not know.
“If the 7th circle wizard is a worm, then what are the rest of them bugs?”
“Oh Yoon, I don’t know how you found out that guy was up to something.”
“Aha, you were a habitual offender?”
Was that really why the Imperial Guards came straight down?
Caron paused for a moment.
Indeed, is this group called Caligo a trustworthy group?
‘……Not yet.’
It was too early to judge.
It’s true that they helped me solve this case, but that doesn’t mean I can trust them at face value.
It was necessary to fully understand what these men’s real purpose was and what they were doing in Thebes.
Poina, beyond the crystal ball, urged Caron. But Caron answered in a leisurely voice.
“Hold.”
“My father always said that you shouldn’t have bad friends.”
“So you guys are good friends? Of course you’re bad friends. If you think about it, you’re just selling smuggled goods in back alleys.”
There was a brief silence.
And after a while.
Poina’s burst of laughter could be heard beyond the crystal ball.
Poina, who had been laughing like that for a long time, spoke in a soft voice.
“I’ll tell Grandpa about it.”
“Why exactly?”
There’s no way she doesn’t know what she means.
Caron furrowed his brows.
“If you keep eating all the food that bad people give you, you’ll end up with a stomachache.”
“… … Your forehead is also wide.”
With those words, the lights in the crystal ball went out.
Caron sighed and put the crystal ball back in his pocket.
“Is there even a water vein running through this city? No one is in their right mind.”
Leo responded to those words with a whale-like groan.
“If you put it that way, is there an underground river flowing through your uncle’s house?”
“Huh? Why our house all of a sudden?”
“… … Let’s just stop talking.”
6.
After finishing all the work, Caron and his party returned straight to their lodgings.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
The first one to welcome Caron and his party was Jeras.
“There were no more raids?”
Caron recalled the attack by the strange men that had occurred earlier.
What happened right after receiving evidence from Caligo.
The enemies rushed to deal with the evidence and Oh Yoon’s family with poison in their mouths.
If it weren’t for Jeras’s efforts, there would have definitely been many victims.
“Yes, nothing happened. Mayor Grein and Commissioner of the National Tax Service are waiting inside. Please come in.”
“yes.”
As we entered the mansion with Jeras, we soon saw two familiar old men.
It seemed like they were talking even though it was late, well past midnight.
The two simultaneously let out a sigh of relief as soon as Caron entered.
“I’m home.”
“… … I’m glad you’re safe, Caron. Do you know how worried I was?”
“Hehehe, you couldn’t sleep because of me, right, Grandpa?”
“How can I sleep? Huh?”
Caron’s maternal grandfather, Gail, strode over to Caron and hugged her body.
“Are you hurt? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Of course. I am the grandson of someone.”
“Thank goodness, I’m so glad!”
All urgent matters are finished.
Now all that remains is to sort things out.
After being held in his grandfather’s arms for a long time, Caron looked around and said.
“Grandfather. Shouldn’t we finish the work properly?”
“Of course it should be like that.”
“Hehehe, let’s sit down and talk!”
Caron, who had cleverly coaxed Gail, sat down on the chair right away. Then the rest of the adults followed Caron and sat down.
“Mayor Grain.”
“Speak at your convenience, Caron.”
“Do you know what effect this incident will have on Thebes?”
To that question, Grein nodded with a sigh.
“… … I guess so.”
An incident in which a member of the Theban council almost killed the grandsons of the Duke of Reston.
That is, Thebes could not be free from responsibility either.
It was the same for Grein, the mayor of Thebes.
“As I said before, I will actively cooperate with the investigation.”
Although it was a situation no different from the pants market, it was impossible to be free from responsibility.
Because the market is ultimately a responsible entity.
“If the Duke of Reston wants to hold me responsible for not preventing the incident, then of course… … .”
That was when.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
Caron, who was eating a cookie on the table, opened his eyes wide and looked at Grein.
“You want to hold us accountable? What did the mayor do to us?”
“No… … . I’m closing the case… … .”
“Hey, what responsibility can you place on someone who is your maternal grandfather’s brother? Blood ties, regional ties, school ties! What else is more important in life than these? I’m not that kind of closed-minded person. Right, Lord Jeras?”
“… … Please try again.”
Jeras decided to just watch what Charon did.
It’s Caron’s job to wrap up this case.
Before he came here, Grand Duke Halo had told him something.
I don’t know what this foolish youngest grandson is planning to do, but I plan to just sit back and watch as the head of the household tells me to.
“The most cooperative person in Thebes is our mayor, and yet I am not grateful to him, but rather he is responsible! I am not that ungrateful.”
“Oh! How did I raise our Caron? Hey Grein, does my grandson look so shameless?”
“Brother. That’s not what I meant… … .”
“Just listen to what Charon has to say. Our clever Charon will have the best thoughts.”
“……yes.”
Even Guile’s support fire was perfect.
Caron made a heart with his hand toward his grandfather and smiled brightly at Grein.
“As soon as the morning comes, the mayor should make an official statement. The contents are as they are. The train carrying the grandsons of the Duke of Reston was attacked, and Oh Yoon was arrested. I think that should be enough.”
In general, the principle is to investigate such cases secretly.
Because it is an incident involving a noble family or a high-ranking official.
For a noble family as large as the Duke of Reston to be attacked would be directly related to the family’s prestige.
So, even though the incident occurred, wasn’t it hidden for the time being?
Grein’s face turned pale as he knew that fact well.
“So what you’re saying is… … I’ll take the prestige of the Duke of Reston into my own hands… … .”
“If someone tries to cover up an incident, what should we do?”
If the Imperial Guards really came down to cover up the incident, they are enemies of the Duke.
In other words, what the enemy wants is to quietly destroy the evidence.
Charon knew what to do at a time like this.
“They let the incident grow so big that the guys don’t even dare to think about hiding it.”
Do the thing your enemies hate the most.
and.
“This time, let’s make the council into the evil group that attacked the Duke of Reston, and let the mayor become a righteous mayor who fights against injustice! What do you think, good idea?”
At the same time, it turns the crisis into profit.
Grein realized the meaning behind Caron’s words. So he asked Caron cautiously.
“Do I have the strength to do that?”
“It’s right in front of you, Mayor.”
“Huh. Support from the Duke of Reston? How would this be any different from now?”
“It’s definitely different. The mayor and the council were employer and employee, but the Duke of Reston and the mayor… … .”
Charon smiled brightly.
“Wouldn’t we be bound by a strong bond?”
Thebes is a truly fascinating city.
That’s why Caron.
‘Of course we should eat it.’
I decided to be greedy.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
