The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 129
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
The reason why Karl escaped from the carriage on the day of the incident was simple.
Because I found a familiar face on the street that I absolutely wanted to kill if I ever saw it.
August Dawson.
The knight he once called ‘Gus’ was now a Viscount and living a life of luxury.
If August had not betrayed, Karl’s long-prepared revenge would not have ended in failure.
‘I should have stood before my master with a dignified appearance a long time ago… … .’
Unable to contain his anger and desire for revenge, Carl followed August.
I couldn’t bring myself to reveal my identity, so I was thinking of hitting him on the back of the head…
I witnessed an unexpected scene.
Another person familiar to Karl appeared, seemingly secretly making contact with August.
‘She’s the head maid of Diat. Why is she with that little rat bastard… ?’
Auguste gave her something like a note, and Emma, the maid, ran away with it in her bosom.
At this truly bizarre sight, Carl suddenly thought of Shailene.
At the same time, she realized that she had accidentally carried her bag.
‘First of all, today is my first day back in the capital, so I mustn’t cause any trouble.’
I finally pulled myself together and returned to the duke’s residence. What unfolded before my eyes was the duke’s residence in ruins.
He sensed something ominous the moment he saw the knights of the castle stationed near the entrance, and he hid quietly.
Then, when it was late at night and only a few knights remained, they sneaked into the mansion without anyone knowing and looked for Shailene.
The most important thing to a servant was his master’s safety.
But just like the last kidnapping incident, Shailene was nowhere to be seen. Not even the Diat family.
What on earth is going on?
‘Have you been captured by the Imperial Knights?’
But why?
It was the article I wrote the next morning that answered his confusing questions.
The article also said that Shailene, who had been relying on the Duke’s family, was also arrested on charges of collusion.
Of course, Carl couldn’t help but feel astonished, knowing that they were innocent.
Someone deliberately set a trap for Diat.
And that someone is―.
‘Uncle, it’s you.’
The greed of the uncle who cruelly threw out his young nephew only seemed to increase, never decreasing.
Carl’s immediate priority was to rescue those imprisoned, so he racked his brain desperately.
Unfortunately, as a mere servant, there was nothing he could do.
So he went to find someone who could help Shailene’s group.
“… You somehow managed to avoid being caught.”
It was none other than Chester.
Deborah’s boss and a man who owes Shailene a lot.
Thinking of that favor, I honestly felt I couldn’t help but help him, so I went to Chester.
Carl, who had been staring blankly at the pale face, made a polite request.
“Please help me.”
“I am already trying to do that.”
Since the employee he had been keeping an eye on and the person he liked were both arrested at the same time, Chester naturally couldn’t let it go.
“The wizard who testified against Deborah during the magic tool explosion incident left the magic tower without saying a word yesterday.”
However, it was not easy to uncover the truth because the Duke of Calciard was also moving quickly to get rid of the cards he had used.
Chester muttered while washing his face dry, feeling guilty for not managing his staff properly.
“The explosion of the magic tool was the beginning of all this, so we need to resolve that first… … .”
“I know how.”
The sword responded softly.
Her pitch-black eyes stared straight at Chester with a determined light.
“Instead, the Lord of the Tower must help me.”

They say that even if the sky falls, there is a hole to escape from.
I can’t die like this.
The crown prince, who couldn’t even conquer the castle, gave up and wanted to ask for help from the male protagonists who had already conquered the castle.
“Everyone, do you have anything that could be of value for money?”
I asked the Duke’s family, who had become much quieter since returning from the palace meeting.
Then, Duke Diat, who had been searching through his pockets, tore off the button on his sleeve and held it out.
“It’s a pure gold button.”
“I’ll give you some glasses made of diamonds.”
The Duke also took off his glasses and separated the strings.
“Sorry, I don’t have any.”

“… … .”
Dane raised both hands, but Deborah made no response.
It seemed that Emma’s betrayal had hurt her quite a bit. Well, I was shocked by this, so Deborah must have been even more shocked.
I gathered all my valuables, including the sapphire butterfly earrings I always wear.
‘This isn’t bad.’
I rolled my eyes and looked around the quiet atmosphere inside the prison. Then I approached the iron bars where the expressionless guard was standing.
“Excuse me, I have something to say. Could you come closer?”
Even though I tried to speak politely, the guard only glanced at me and didn’t move.
I continued speaking calmly.
“Can you do me one favor? Let me write a letter to the person I love so that I can say goodbye to him or her for the last time.”
I tried to appeal desperately, but the guard didn’t budge. I wasn’t disappointed either, and reached out my hand through the bars.
On my palm were a solid gold button, a diamond glasses chain, and sapphire earrings.
“I’m not asking you out of pocket either. Just let me write you a letter once. That’ll do.”
The guard’s gaze passed over my hand. Despite the pain in my arm, I held on tenaciously, waiting for him to take the bait.
Eventually, the guard who slowly approached the iron bars accepted my bribe.
“Be careful not to get caught. If you get caught, I’ll be in big trouble too.”
“of course.”
I nodded with a sly smile. After a while, I was handed a piece of paper and a pen.
After writing down the words without hesitation, he asked me to send it to the person named on the envelope.
‘Please, you shouldn’t ignore me like the Crown Prince… … .’
I waited endlessly for a reply, not knowing how time passed in the underground prison.
Then, around the time I fell asleep for a moment.
“Shailene.”
A familiar voice woke me up. I raised my head in surprise, and the chief priest took off his robe and revealed his face.
He came after receiving my letter.
“are you okay?”
“Raviello, you came…!”
It was worth it to work hard and raise your favorability rating in Baekjakryeong.
I was so touched that I tried to glance at the guard’s expression, but he waved his hand and said.
“I paid you and sent you out for a while. Don’t worry.”
“Ha… … Thank you. Raviello, we never conspired with heretics.”
“I know. If that were the case, I would know. But you know the situation is not good right now, right, Shailene?”
The chief priest, who had smiled bitterly for a moment, soon put on a serious expression.
“I’ve prepared what you asked for, and I’ve also brought the medicine. Be careful, it’s bad for your health if you take too much.”
“all right.”
He hid the small bottle of medicine he handed me over the bars in his sleeve.
The priest whispered to me, holding my hand that was holding the iron bars.
“Do you remember the promise we made? That we would stay by each other’s side for a long time? If you don’t keep it, I’ll be really mad.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely protect you. I have no intention of dying unjustly.”
Why did I die? Why did the lucky person who won 5 billion won in the lottery die?
The chief priest, who had smiled as if relieved at seeing me burning with determination, soon left with a regretful expression as time ran out.
I conveyed my plan to the Duke’s family, using mostly body language so the guards wouldn’t hear.
And the next day, I put it into action.
* * *
Inside the prison, it is dark even in broad daylight.
It was the time when the prisoners were given meals once a day.
All that was given to the Duke of Diat and Shailene was a thin soup and a loaf of dry bread.
Even so, at that time, it seemed like he was eating well without complaining.
Clang!
“Ugh―.”
Shailene suddenly dropped her bowl of soup and groaned in pain.
She vomited blood and lost consciousness in an instant, and the duke’s family screamed in terror.
“Shailene! Our Shailene has collapsed! Call a doctor now!”
“Damn, I’m not breathing! Someone must have poisoned the soup!”
The guards who came running in surprise at the commotion to check on Shailene’s condition had shocked expressions on their faces.
Her mouth was drooping and bloody, and she looked as if she were dead.
Although he had been arrested for treason, he had not yet been formally sentenced, so it would be a problem if he died.
And even by poisoning!
“Surely, is he really dead?”
“Oh, no! He’s still breathing! Let’s move him to another place first!”
One of the guards felt her pulse and dragged her out in a hurry.
It was the moment Shailene escaped from prison.
