I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads - I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads chapter 56

56 – Infiltration (4)

Sureuk. Seruk.

When I turned the bookshelf, the handwriting of Viscount Hobart from the former war era while polishing the recipe for solitude was everywhere.

Just by looking at this, the evidence that he manufactured solitude was clearly grasped.

However.

This was only proof that he had manufactured solitude.

I needed proof that he ‘feed’ loneliness on Baron Grace.

Eugene closed the book and went through other books.

‘…… This?’

His eyes stopped near the center of the bookshelf.

「Manuscript (Volume 1)」

「Manuscript (Volume 2)」

「Manuscript (volume 3)」

… ….

… ….

‘I found it.’

It was a memoir that Viscount Hobart had written down as a habit.

All the evidence related to evil deeds should be in these books.

「Manuscript (Volume 1)」

「I graduated from Kudelin Magic School today. My future must be hopeful…….”

When I opened the first volume, there were stories about his teenage years.

‘Take it for now.’

There was no evidence of his evil deeds, but I took it for now because it increased the credibility of other hand records.

He went through the other handbooks. It was the 13th volume of the hand record that his busy hands stopped.

「Manuscript (Volume 13)」

「I don’t like the people of Baron Grace, which is close to our territory.

Why are guys with a shorter history and smaller scale than my family, richer than my family and winning?

Why did our ancestors neglect this situation for a long time?

In the first place, the viscountcy is above the baronet family.

It is only natural that we have a stronger prestige than them!

If they have prestige beyond me,

If we are not enjoying the things we deserve!

You have to rob them of what they have.

Everything has to make sense.

That is what I have to do as the head of the Viscounts Hobart, which boasts a great tradition and history.

I’m willing to do any evil thing for that.

For my glorious family.」

‘You crazy bastard… ….’

Indignation arose before the joy of obtaining strong evidence.

‘This isn’t a crazy guy.’

Eugene bit his lip and went through the next book.

「Manuscript (Volume 15)」

「I found a way to destroy Baron Grace and control her.

It’s a recipe for solitude that his subordinates found on the black market.

If you hone the skills of this book to create solitude and feed it to the baron…….

I can destroy and manipulate him at will!

I can take everything of that unlucky bastard into my hands!」

「Manuscript (Volume 16)」

「Finally finished.

The spirit of a human who ate the worms wriggling in that glass bottle would be destroyed in an instant.”

「Manuscript (Volume 17)」

「Finally, I fed it! In the mouth of that unlucky bastard!

He accepted and ate the teacup I offered him without question!

A fool who doesn’t even know the sleeping pills in it…….”

Chin!

Yujin, who was reading the handbook, closed the book.

How could a person do such vicious things to a person with an inferiority complex in his heart?

My hands trembled at the tantrum that boiled deep in my heart.

“Ah… ….”

Since he was already dead, he lamented the fact that he couldn’t take any revenge.

It was the only remaining opportunity for revenge to ask the sins of the descendants who had lived on the evil deed.

He kept going through the log.

All the evil deeds committed by Viscount Hobart and other people of the past after feeding Baron Grace his solitude were written in detail.

Everything from driving him crazy to gambling and putting him in deep debt to buying an iron mine at a bargain price.

The process was written in such detail that the authenticity of the evil deeds was supported by the trivial anecdotes that cannot be avoided without being a person inside the Viscount Hobart.

‘It is truly perfect evidence.’

If I could accuse the Viscounts of Hobart based on this, I could prove their evil deeds and recover everything that my family had been unjustly deprived of.

I was able to get rid of huge debt.

‘Let’s take everything for now.’

Yujin walked over to the chest next to the test table and opened it.

Kikiiik.

With the sound of rusty hinges, the contents of the box were visible.

‘What the hell is this?’

It was full of rotting plant and animal carcasses that seemed to be ingredients for solitude. Because it was sealed, insects did not infest it, and a shocking stench was felt due to decay for a long time.

‘My nose is rotten.’

Yujin threw them out of the box to make an empty space, and filled it with hand records and experiment tools that would serve as evidence of his evil deeds.

‘At this level, the evidence is overflowing.’

From noble mtl dot com

If nothing happens when you denounce the Viscount Hobart based on this, then the country’s judicial system is so screwed up that it should all be destroyed.

‘To avoid such a frustrating thing.’

I had to avoid going to the security forces in the area where Viscount Hobart’s influence reached.

That was so stupid.

Even if it took more time, it was right to go to the police force in the capital where they could exercise proper public power.

‘The problem is that going to the capital takes too long.’

From here to the capital, it took eight days round trip, even if I ran to the point where my feet were on fire.

When you are procrastinating like that, the family will suffer bad things from Viscount Hobart.

‘I have no choice but to get help from others.’

He made a scroll with old paper and a wooden pen on the lab table and wrote down his situation and business and put it in his pocket.

Then, I ran towards Count Cudellin, a magical house located close to the Hobart Viscounts.

*

Antonio von Felix Cudelin.

Commonly known as Antonio, he was enjoying a leisurely tea time in his family’s annex.

A cup of fragrant tea in the morning was one of his noble hobbies.

‘The scent is wonderful.’

Antonio sipped his tea with a good laugh… ….

Quaaang!

The door to the outbuilding is broken and fragments are scattered.

The masked man, shot like a cannonball along with the shrapnel, was pinned to the wall.

I see a large chest in his arms.

“… ….”

Antonio’s mouth fell open.

It was because the sudden situation exceeded my comprehension.

“What is this…….”

“Elder! It’s an intruder!”

An intruder?

Dozens of soldiers unknowingly rushed in.

The soldier at the front of them growls at the masked man.

“You bastard! Reveal your identity! Otherwise, your head will fall off!”

“…… Do.”

“Say it straight! You evil bastard!”

“…… Sorry.”

“Huh?”

“I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

The masked man takes off his mask and reveals his face.

Brown hair reminiscent of fallen leaves, dark dark brown eyes.

A familiar face he had seen before caught Antonio’s eyes.

“…… Eugene? Are you Eugene?”

“Antonio. Long time no see.”

Thump!

He set the large chest down on the ground and bowed his head slightly.

When I saw Eugene, who looked like a thief, and the huge box, I couldn’t quite figure out what it was…….

“Everyone go away.”

“Yes?”

“That intruder is someone I know. They can be called my acquaintances, so everyone go away.”

“…… Are you saying that thief is an acquaintance of the elder?”

“Coincidentally, that’s the case.”

“… ….”

The soldier, lost for words, turned helplessly and led the soldiers back.

-No, if it’s an acquaintance, don’t trespass and enter legitimately.

-Why did you break down the door and go through such a hardship…….

Their complaint pricked Eugene’s conscience.

‘I’m sorry.’

But he had no choice.

Because the current situation of my family is really at odds with each other. After following the due process and entering, I had to sit in the drawing room and wait for Antonio, but I couldn’t afford that.

Eugene stepped in front of Antonio and bowed her head again.

“I’m sorry I came to you by breaking down the door.”

“…… That’s it. I owe you.”

Antonio, who shook his hand, asked with a confused face.

“So why did you break down the door? What is that crate?”

“Let me explain as quickly as possible. Therefore… ….”

Yujin briefly and quickly explained my circumstances.

When his story was over, Antonio grabbed his throbbing head and opened his mouth.

“So… …. Your family is on the verge of extinction, but is it all because of a scheme concocted by people from long ago in the Viscount Hobart?”

“Yes.”

“The things in that chest are evidence of evil deeds. The reason he came to see me is to hand over the box to the security guard in the capital. The situation will be very urgent.”

“Right.”

“Ummm… ….”

Antonio drooled.

“It’s not difficult for me to teleport to the capital with that chest and hand it over to the police. It’s quite possible to use the debt you’ve earned from me here. But the capital’s police force is very busy. Even if the intensity of the evil committed by the long-ago Viscounts of Hobart is very high, it will take a long time before the evidence is forensic and public power is exercised.”

“… ….”

“Even if I act according to your words, it will be difficult for the situation to develop as quickly as you think. So…… I will apologize in advance.”

“You don’t have to apologize. Because I have thoughts.”

“Hmm?”

Eugene took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to him.

“What is this?”

“This is a letter that contains all the stories I have explained so far. Please bring it to the Prime Minister in the capital’s imperial palace.”

“The Chancellor? Did you say chancellor?”

Antonio’s face was stained with absurdity.

Who is the Prime Minister?

He is the most powerful person in the empire, right next to the emperor.

A single word from him lowered their heads, even those who claimed to be very long. Of course, it was not easy to face the Jade Eye.

Even an archmage with a reputation equal to that of Antonio had to wait several days with proper etiquette before facing the chancellor.

But, he went to the chancellor and handed over the scroll…….

“That…… Eugene. My desire to pay my debt to you is like a chimney indeed. However, since the Prime Minister is a very high-ranking person, it is difficult for even me to face Ok-an. It is clear that everything will go smoothly if I receive the Prime Minister’s help, but the limit of my ability is…….”

“Tell the Prime Minister my name. If I say I need help, I’ll be able to get over it without a problem.”

“So that makes sense…….”

‘…… For a moment.’

“You say that you know something from a while ago, but are you sure you are dating the Prime Minister?”

Eugene nodded her head.

“Yes. I once helped out when I was caught up in a troublesome matter.”

“Ears, what if it’s troublesome…… ?”

“It was just kicking the ass of some nonsense guys. I’m sorry, but I really don’t have time, so can you trust me and help me just once?”

“Kuhm.”

Because I heard such an absurd story, I forgot the fact that Eugene’s situation was urgent.

‘I shouldn’t be procrastinating in front of an urgent person.’

It was even worse in front of a person to whom he owed a lot.

Antonio hardened his face and pulled himself up.

“I will believe your words and go to the imperial palace. A person trying to pay off a debt shouldn’t be weighing this and that.”

“I will remember that heart for a long time.”

“Then we’re leaving right now!”

Jerbug. That buck

With the scroll in his bosom, Antonio strode towards the chest.

He said as he grabbed the chest with determined eyes.

“Please wait a little longer. I will settle everything as soon as possible and go to your family.”

“Yes!”

Eugene smiled and nodded her head.

That moment.

“Whoaaa!”

With a strong halo of light, Antonio disappeared right in front of my eyes.

‘All my work is done.’

I have done everything within my power to accuse the Viscount of Hobart of their misdeeds, so now all that remains is to wait.

‘I can only hope that the world is just.’

Eugene looked up at her watch. It was already lunchtime.

I saw the future that Viscount Hobart, who should have arrived in my family, would propose to Erica soon.

‘I don’t know what he might do in the process of proposing.’

I had to leave for the family immediately.

Eugene put the number record book he had taken out of her chest into her clothes and kicked her in place.
