How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives - How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives chapter 131
Chapter 131
The Yu family’s mansion stood against a cliff. It was building a perfect exhibition posture around that place.
Crossing the fortress, Xian’s party had no choice but to catch the gaze of the half-elves.
A rare human that is hard to find in Glacier Baengnyeong. Aren’t they at war with humans now?
“Still, I guess it’s not as bad as I thought?”
Xian nodded at Hector’s words.
The gazes of the half-elves weren’t particularly favorable, but they didn’t stare at me like they were going to kill me.
He is very docile compared to the people of a country in the middle of a war.
“We are fighting because, after all, the imperial family and the army.”
Biyun said so. Although it is true, it is usually not easy to cut it apart like that.
Considering the fact that it is the people who supply the army after all, it would not be strange to conclude that the enemy is the same.
“You will be completely fine as long as the head of the family accepts you.”
“Is the head of the Yu family here?”
“Sure. We never leave our homeland.”
After talking with Biyun, I was able to arrive at the Yu family’s mansion. After being briefly checked at the entrance, they were able to safely enter the mansion.
If Xian was really a spy, he could have easily crossed the wall of Yuga, which would have caused serious trouble.
‘You’re free to come in, but not when you go out?’
However, this does not mean that the Yu family is loose. Even at this moment, Xian was feeling stabbing stares from all over the place.
Are you looking through a telescope from a distance, or through some kind of familiar, or all of that?
There was no half-elf in sight, but their eyes were full.
If you give just one command, spears and arrows will fly from all sides and pierce you.
“sorry. I believe it’s not, but I haven’t been recognized by the head of the household yet… … .”
“it’s okay.”
Presuming that Xian would notice, Bi-yun apologized first.
There was face to face with the life saver, but there was also the meaning of greeting for the relationship when the misunderstanding was resolved later.
Xian was aware of that fact, but he didn’t feel particularly offended or anything like that.
“They said some imperial guy crawled in, was it you?”
At that time, there was someone blocking their way.
Xian looked at him.
“How shameless. Heaven knows who you are, and I know, but you’re not a spy?”
“… … .”
“I’d be pretty sure if someone the size of a son of a marquess had traveled to an enemy country in peace.”
“… … .”
When Xi’an didn’t say anything, his face contorted. he said, clicking his tongue.
“hey! are you ignoring me? Why don’t you talk back?”
Xian frowned slightly and asked.
“Who were you? Were you in the same class?”
“Kuh! It’s Eugene! It’s Eugene! We met in the snowy mountains!”
“ah.”
When I heard that it was a snowy mountain, it came to my mind. When you came down from Snow Mountain Gryupane after dealing with the high oak.
It was Eugene, one of the Guardian Knights who escorted Xian and other students to Everwhale.
Come to think of it, he said he was a child of the Yu family.
“I’m sorry. I thought that the only half-fairies who knew me were academy students, so I was only groping for that memory.”
“sh*t!”
Eugene rolled on the ground roughly. Since that day, this side has devoted themselves to harsh training without forgetting a single day, but the other side didn’t even remember!
What do you mean you have no interest in losers?
“Follow me! I’ll check first before showing it to my father!”
Eugene turns around and walks away. Xian nodded to Hector and the Giant King and followed Eugene.
On the way, Xian asked as if he had suddenly thought of him.
“You’re not asking me to come because of the sediment at that time, right?”
“No, son of a b*tch! Originally, I had to see it first! It’s a set procedure!”
“That’s it.”
“profit!”
Eugene gnashed his teeth once, then continued guiding.
It was after taking a sip of hot tea in the drawing room that he calmed down a bit.
Only then did he regain his composure and stare at Xian, Hector, and the Giant King with sharp eyes.
“Yes, let’s hear why the son of a marquis came to our country for a purpose other than spying. I’ll tell you in advance, but it’s good that you don’t intend to lie. Because your status and skills don’t work here.”
“Compared to that time, your tone has become much rougher.”
“joy. Need to shine in front of you? Don’t talk nonsense, just answer me.”
“I ran away.”
“… … what?”
“I ran away. father… … Lee Rang came out after a big fight.”
“Are you fighting Marquis Agrid? For what?”
“That is a secret.”
We talked about it as if it were a father and son fight, but of course it wasn’t that level of fight.
However, since he couldn’t talk about everything, and he didn’t intend to, Xian just covered it up.
“I won’t even tell you why, but I want you to believe me?”
“I can’t really talk about it because it’s a family thing… … yes. Why don’t you listen to the driver named Bi-yun who guided us?”
“I already got the report long before you guys arrived.”
It seems that the story was delivered in advance by magic or spirits.
“Then you know we’re not enemies, right? Rather, you killed the giant and saved the half-elves.”
“How can I be sure that’s not a ploy to earn your trust?”
“Just because of that, you send a giant flying?”
“You may decide that it is worth that much.”
“well. If I were to plan such a strategy, I’d think it would be a rough play with soldiers, not precious giants?”
“We cannot rule out the possibility of spying by talking like that.”
“… … .”
If you talk this far, even if you are a cyan, you will be speechless.
Eugene’s interrogation doesn’t sound like he had a supervisor, but it wasn’t terribly absurd either.
how will we do it.
There is a way to prove their innocence somehow and ask them where the giant is, and there is a way to just get out of here and find out among themselves.
The former is about proving innocence, and the latter is about where to get information.
“Hey, Jina. I can understand being cautious, but he probably isn’t.”

Just then, the door opened and a woman entered.
This is a familiar face. It was Yuyeon, a student who was the representative of the anti-fairies at the academy.
“… … softness. I’m at work, so please refrain from coming in on your own. And call me brother.”
“I think my testimony will help you in your decision.”
Yujin growled and talked, but Yuyeon came into the drawing room casually. He didn’t even respond when asked to call him brother.
She sat next to Eugene and faced Xian.
Then, abruptly, he held out his hand.
“… … ?”
“handshake.”
Xian, who did not expect to ask for a handshake out of the blue, grabbed her hand.
Yui vigorously waved her hand up and down.
“thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to easily escape from the general.”
“That’s what happened then.”
The fact that Xian and his party defeated the flame giant that had been encased in flames and imprisoned in Everweil.
It was at that time that Yuyeon was talking.
“I think the president suffered more than me. You must have marked the general himself.”
“That is that and this is this. I’m going to say hello to the president later. When the war is over and peace comes.”
Yunyun’s eyes widened for a moment.
sad eyes. However, the place where those eyes were directed was not in Xian, but in the Empire.
“Eugene. If it wasn’t for Xian, I, Seol-ah, and all the other kids would have been tied to Everwhale. So there’s very little chance of him being a spy.”
“I wonder if the student who helped escape was this guy… … .”
“okay.”
“Tsk. I’ll get it right away But it’s not completely clear of doubts. I will always have someone attached to me in the future.”
Xian shrugged at Yujin’s words. It meant do whatever you want.
He clicked his tongue and left the drawing room. He was going to report to the family head first.
The remaining Yuyeon leaned back on the sofa and sat cross-legged.
“So, why did you go against the will of the imperial family and let us escape? Are you really a runaway?”
“okay.”
It’s not a lie.
“No, that makes no sense. I don’t know much about the laws of the empire, but isn’t that enough to cut ties with the family?”
“I hung up, actually.”
“… … why?”
“It is a secret.”
There was not a single lie in Xi’an’s words. There’s just something I haven’t talked about.
Yuyeon also shrugged her shoulders and stopped asking questions.
After taking a sip of tea, Xian asked her from this side.
“It looks like you escaped properly, but has there been any contact from the general?”
“Nothing. what can he say I just tried to blackmail them and failed.”
“That is not wrong. What happened to Everweil after that?”
“I don’t know where or how they got it, but it seems that all the giants in the empire are there. I heard it’s almost a town of giants?”
“crazy… … .”
After imagining it, Xian stuck out his tongue.
It was the first time he, who had lived alone in the mansion with Yeomno, stepped out into the outside world, but it was a place full of memories.
On the other hand, I could see the Giant King perking his ears from the side.
It would be good information for him who is looking for his compatriots.
“A rumor? Are you in this fort?”
“Ah, Seol-ah… … .”
When Yu-seol’s name was mentioned, Yu-yeon narrowed her eyes. Sniff. She twitched her nose and said she didn’t like it.
“I don’t know why, but the queen seems to like it. I was called to the fairy palace and have been living there for several months.”
“… … what?”
“I mean the palace. They eat, sleep, and cheap there and do everything.”
At the word “queen,” the giant king blinked and looked this way. Xian shook his head.
Not the queen he knew, but her descendant.
‘No, but still.’
It was something sudden. Why is the fairy queen keeping Yuseol by her side?
‘Did Psyche get caught?’
That was the only thing that came to mind right away.
Yuseol couldn’t actually use magic and was faking Psyche’s power as magic.
If it was caught, that would be enough reason for the Queen to summon her.
Anyway, isn’t the queen also a descendant of the one who fought the giant-demon alliance in the past?
“Looking at the occasional contact, they seem to be doing well… … I don’t know why you’re not coming back.”
“okay? A letter for contact?”
“no. As a communication port.”
If it’s a communication port, it doesn’t seem like you’ve been harmed or harmed.
‘Then is there a reason other than Psyche?’
If Psyche had been caught, I wouldn’t have been so safe.
The devil was an enemy that invaded them along with the giants in the past, and it is the same now. The Dark Magic Tower is invading Glacier Baengnyeong with its giants.
In this situation, if it was revealed that Yoo Seol was Psyche’s contractor, it would not have been safe.
‘Well, there’s no room for me to intervene anyway.’
The fairy palace is famous for being closed.
Even half-fairy, most of them could not even enter, and only a few who received permission from the royal family were allowed to enter the palace.
In fact, Yujin and Yuyeondo in front of her must have never been to the palace.
There was no way he would let himself in as a human.
“hey.”
At that time, Eugene, who had gone to report to the householder, returned.
However, his expression was very strange. He had a blank look on his face as if he had seen some kind of ghost.
“Sian Agrid. I am calling you.”
“You mean Yu Ga-joo? Where can I go?”
“Uh, yes. We can go to the basement of the fort here.”
Yui’s eyes widened at his words.
“underground? Why are you there? Isn’t that where the roots are?”
root? what a special place
Eugene said to Xian, who was puzzled.
“There is an entrance to the palace. It’s not my father who calls you, it’s the queen.”
At those words, Xian’s eyes narrowed.
