Episode 134 Cecilia’s Troubles

After finishing reporting to Cecilia, Lucia headed back to the secret base.

Lucia entered the secret base full of mold and moisture and looked down at Hook, a suspicious person who had been chained to a chair.

He was still sitting with his head down.

‘I have to wake him up first.’

Lucia pulled Hook’s hair and raised his upper body. She stared at him with her cold eyes and then raised her right hand high.

-Chack!

Lucia slapped her cheek hard enough to break her neck.

But Hook still couldn’t come to his senses.

‘Is this the only way to go?’

With a short sigh, Lucia gathered her bags and went out of her secret base. She was going to fetch cold water from a nearby stream.

She took a bowl full of water and immediately poured water on Hook.

“Heo Eok!”

Hook finally came to his senses and took a deep breath.

What on earth are we doing here?

He slowly looked around her and found the woman looking down at him.

“I finally came to my senses.”

The moment she heard Lucia’s voice, she convulsed violently. It was because it was so similar to the voice she heard right before she lost consciousness.

“Yu, Yuryeo… ….”

“Why are people who are alive and well treated as ghosts? Feel bad.”

Lucia lightly hit him on the back of the head.

In fact, it was a light blow to her, but it was not a light blow at all from her perspective.

Hook groaned in pain, but Lucia didn’t bat an eye.

She squatted and looked up at Hook.

Even just looking up, Hook struggled to the point of amazement. However, his arms, legs, and upper body were all tied to his chair, so he couldn’t move at all.

“Why did you try to raid the wagon?”

“Well, I can’t say that.”

When Hook received the request, there was a condition set by the client. No matter what, do not reveal the identity of the client.

Remembering this condition, he somehow clenched his molars. Then he desperately rolled his eyes.

To figure out where this place is and whether there is room to escape.

“Hmm. You are the latter.”

“Well, what is that…” … You mean?”

“Ah. The rats that come here usually exhibit two types of behavior.”

Lucia’s tone was lively, as if she was on a picnic.

Her hook slowly looked up at her as she raised her body. Lucia was so beautiful that most women couldn’t even show off their business cards, but to Hook, she was only seen as a scary person.

Lucia raised her index finger in front of Hook’s eyes.

“First of all, the rats who are aloof even after coming here. No matter what I do, they don’t respond like wooden dolls. But this type of thing is rare.”

Lucia also raised her middle finger this time.

“The second category is most people, like you, rat bastards who roll their eyes here and there and struggle to survive. But you know what’s fun?”

“What, what… ….”

Lucia smiled, raising the corners of her mouth, and the moment Hook saw it, he felt a lump rising on her forearm.

“The more people like that, the more lighthearted they are.”

“I-I’m not like that!”

Lucia lightly ignored Hook’s cry and turned around. She walked over to her desk and picked out an awl to poke under her fingernails.

“Shall we test this lightly first? “Will it turn out as you promised, or will it end up like the rats I’ve seen?”

“Seo, no way…” ….”

Hook’s face was filled with fear.

‘This woman is seriously planning to interrogate me.’

He twisted his body like crazy, but couldn’t get off the chair. Lucia pressed one of her knees against his thigh.

Then she immediately stuck the awl under Hook’s index finger nail.

“Ugh…….”

“Okay. “I will make you feel even more pain every time you fail to answer a question properly from now on.”

“… ….”

“Why did you try to get on the wagon?”

Hook somehow clenched his molars.

If he somehow manages to get out alive, he might have another chance. If he did that, he was sure to receive the additional 10 gold requested.

“I won’t answer!”

Lucia immediately stabbed her other finger with the awl, causing Hook to scream.

‘It’s as weak as an awl.’

Lucia went back to the desk and brought with her a torture device other than the awl.

“Well, that’s…” ….”

“To pull out her fingernails.”

“!”

Hook’s face was filled with astonishment and fear. Still, Lucia didn’t blink her eyes.

Because it was just something she was all too familiar with.

“If plucking her fingernails doesn’t work, I’ll break her knuckles. If that doesn’t work…….”

“Oh, no, no…” ….”

Hook was shaking his head like crazy, but Lucia put the nail puller on Hook’s index finger.

“Okay. Let me ask you one more time. “Why did you try to get on the wagon?”

“Well, that’s…” ….”

When Hook showed signs of hesitation, Lucia pulled out her fingernails without hesitation. Hook screamed louder than before.

“Okay. “If you don’t answer this time, I’ll pull out two at a time, so think carefully.”

“Don’t say anything…” …. I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you. Please… ….”

“It should have come out like that a long time ago.”

Lucia asked once again about Hook’s purpose. Thanks to this, she learned that someone had tried to replace the black tea leaves from Lowell with something else. She

She also found out that his name was Hook and that he was from the Dark Guild.

“Okay, next question. “Who instigated this incident?”

“I said M… ….”

“It seems to be an alias. “Do you know anything else?”

“Uh, none. Really.”

Hook shook his head. But Lucia did not believe it at all. She pulled out two of Hook’s fingernails.

“You still don’t know?”

“Really…… I don’t know! “I don’t know!”

‘It looks like you really don’t know.’

With that conclusion, she placed her nail extractor on her floor.

“Okay. “I will believe you.”

The moment Hook heard that one word, he felt hope blooming in his heart. But that moment didn’t last long.

“Now that you have fulfilled your role, you must die.”

“Lord, I die…… Still?”

“Yes. “If I let you go like this, the location of this place will be discovered.”

Hook struggled, pleading that he did not want to die.

Lucia took the poison she had left on her desk without changing her expression at all. Then she poured the medicine into Hook’s mouth.

Hook immediately began convulsing and completely lost consciousness with white foam in his mouth.

“I need to take care of this first and then report it to His Majesty.”

Lucia let out a short sigh and quickly untied the rope that was binding her hook. The limp body was unable to control itself and fell to the floor with a thumping sound.

She carried her body on her shoulder and leisurely left her secret base.

After Lucia properly processed her gaze, she headed straight to the imperial palace.

After taking a look inside Cecilia’s room, she went inside.

“Meet Her Majesty Empress Cecilia, Mother of the Empire.”

Lucia knelt down on one knee toward her and bowed her head.

Cecilia put aside the papers she was looking at and then got up from the armchair.

“Did you find out something?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “It is said that he attempted to replace the Lowell black tea leaves that were being transported at someone’s instigation.”

“Who instigated it?”

“He said he used the pseudonym M.”

“Hmm… ….”

Cecilia crossed her arms and let out a low, excited voice.

“And his name is ‘Hook’ and he is said to be from a dark guild.”

“I guess they were trying to avoid tracking as much as possible… ….”

Cecilia sat down in the armchair again. She crossed her legs on one side and lightly touched her lower jaw.

“If you give me the order, I will attack the dark guild right away.”

“… ….”

Cecilia’s worries deepened.

Should we send Lucia right now to capture the key figures of the dark guild?

Or should we choose to wait and see the situation for now?

“Let’s just wait and see for now.”

Cecilia gave instructions in a grave tone.

“I will follow Your Majesty’s instructions.”

Lucia bowed her head once.

“Let’s just leave now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “I hope you have a peaceful night.”

Lucia disappeared in an instant.

Cecilia closed her eyes tightly and pinched her eyebrows.

‘Did I make the right decision?’

She wasn’t sure about herself.

I’ll have to discuss it with someone I trust tomorrow.

At that moment, two people appeared in Cecilia’s mind. One was Luke Nedville and the other was Duke Kylos.

Cecilia went and sat down in front of her desk. She then wrote her note addressed to Kyle Ross.

What was written in the note was to come to the royal palace’s drawing room by 10 a.M. Tomorrow.

* * *

Today, as usual, I started my day in the office.

But before I even distributed the documents, Cecilia called me.

“Come to the parlor with me at 10 a.M. “I have something to discuss with Duke Kylos.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

After doing some paperwork, it was soon almost 10 o’clock. Cecilia left the rest of her work to her maids and went with me to the drawing room.

“Luke. “I received bad news from Lucia yesterday.”

Although no one was in her hallway, she mentioned Lucia’s name in a low voice.

What on earth happened that makes you mention Lucia?

“I heard there was a guy who tried to replace the leaves of Lowell black tea.”

The moment I heard her words, my eyes widened. No matter what, you’re trying to mess with a wagon belonging to the imperial palace…….

I’m pretty sure his liver isn’t swollen.

And if there was someone who put it into practice, it was natural that the person who requested the work would be behind it.

“You say you found out who instigated it?”

“They said he used the pseudonym M. “He belonged to the Dark Guild.”

“There doesn’t seem to be much information… ….”

When I expressed my regret, Cecilia nodded her head and agreed.

“Are you planning to rob the dark guild?”

“I decided to wait and see. But…… “I’m not sure if I made the right decision.”

It was only then that I realized why she was going with me to meet Duke Kylos.

I guess I needed someone to give me advice.

And I was very fortunate that it wasn’t me.

If you had tried to seek advice directly from me, you would have been quite embarrassed.

Because I wasn’t sure if it was the right decision either.
