The Duke of Calciard’s annex.

Howard was locked up alone, separated from his daughter, in a space that was constructed like a prison.

“Cluck, cluck!”

He was coughing dryly and looked so shabby and unrecognizable.

Howard sat down on the damp stone floor, his back against the wall, chewing his lip.

“shit……!”

I still vividly remember the shock I felt when my nephew, who I thought was dead, came back alive and appeared in court.

August Dawson clearly stated that he killed Kylan and disposed of him without a trace.

While he was killing Kylan, Howard had a servant of similar build disguise himself as his nephew’s body.

In order to prevent anyone from finding out that he was murdered, they prepared a fake that was actually burned to death.

But was that the wrong choice?

‘I should have killed him with my own hands. If I had, he would never have come back alive… …!’

Upon his return, Kaylan gathered his followers and took control of Calciad in an instant.

Under the pretext of investigating the Howards, he confined them in an annex and took away their family home without hesitation, forcing them to submit to a memorandum.

Like Kyleon in his younger days, Howard had no choice but to open his eyes and take the fall.

As he was muttering alone in resentment, two knights came in and roughly dragged him away.

“Let go, you guys! What are you doing?”

“Please follow me quietly.”

The knights took him to the interrogation room, tightly bound with ropes.

Where I expected Kylan to be sitting, an unexpected person was leisurely drinking tea.

“Hello, Your Majesty.”

Shailene smiled at the dazed Howard.

“No, should I call you the Duke now? Or Count Dempsey?”

Howard’s face turned red and blue even though he only mentioned objective facts.

“… … How dare you come here to mock me?”

“Well, what do you think?”

Shailene shrugged and gestured to the seat opposite her. The knights then forced him to sit down and walked out.

The eyes that glared at Shailene were filled with hatred and anger. She smirked and put down her glass as she spoke.

“I saw Johanna Dempsey before I came to see you.”

Howard flinched when his daughter’s name was mentioned. He hadn’t seen Johanna since the trial.

As soon as I arrived, I was caught and thrown into a separate building.

Shailene curled the corners of her lips as she noticed his slightly wavering gaze.

“It was a mess… … Do you know what my daughter told me?”

“Shut up! Don’t put my daughter in that dirty mouth of yours!”

Howard glared at her, and Shailene’s expression hardened.

“Who is really dirty?”

She hummed softly and soon showed a leisurely smile.

I tried to remain as calm and composed as possible, because if I got excited and screamed, I would become the same person.

“You know Emma, ​​the former head maid of the Duke of Diat?”

“… … I don’t know.”

“There’s no use pretending. Emma and Viscount Dawson have confessed.”

The owner of the note Emma had was none other than August Dawson.

At first, I had a hard time finding them because I didn’t know, but then I got a clue when I remembered that Kylan had accidentally seen the two of them.

After hearing about his survival in the newspaper, August prepares to escape, but is caught by Kaylan too late.

‘It’s been a while, Gus.’

‘Oh, my lord… …!’

‘It’s really nice to see you again, but could you spare a moment of your time? By the way, this is not a request, this is an order.’

‘omg……!’

August fell to his knees before him, sobbing and pouring out everything he knew.

Then, ignoring her pleas for help, Kaylan relayed that information to Shaylin.

Thanks to that, she was able to see Howard’s face, pale with impatience.

“I don’t know what you confessed, but it has nothing to do with me. The count must have done it alone and is trying to hold on to me… …!”

His voice cracked miserably at the end as he spoke quickly.

My vocal cords were very sore because I hadn’t had a sip of water since yesterday.

“Oh, you look really thirsty.”

Shailene spoke behind me with a pitiful expression.

“Have a drink for poor Count Dempsey, Mandy.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mandy, who had been standing quietly against the wall, came over and poured tea into an empty cup.

Howard watched him with a wary face. Fortunately, Shailene, who was drinking the same tea, had no problem.

Well, you wouldn’t be able to poison me here unless you’re crazy.

“You have to let go of my hand to drink.”

“Just bow your head and drink. Like a dog.”

Shailene responded, lifting her teacup gracefully.

Howard’s brow furrowed as his pride was immediately hurt.

Shailene, who was gritting her teeth and looking at him with a sidelong glance, sighed openly.

“Oh my, you’re so hands-on like a little child. Go get the driver.”

Mandy called over one of the knights guarding the interrogation room.

The knight grabbed Howard’s chin hard and almost poured the tea into him.

Gulp, gulp.

Shailene, who had been staring blankly at the sight of him barely managing to drink the tea that was pouring in mercilessly, suddenly asked.

“Do you know that?”

A soft voice penetrated Howard’s eardrums clearly.

“Johanna Dempsey, like you, used to deny knowing anything, but after drinking that tea, she became honest.”

Shailene smiled.

“Because I got a confession ticket. It was made by my capable cousin.”

“… … !”

This was also the method suggested to Kylean. Feed him the confession drug made by Deborah to find out the truth.

I tried it on Johanna earlier and it worked so well that I came straight to see Howard.

Howard, his eyes wide open in shock, began to struggle against drinking any more tea.

But the knight held him tightly and squeezed every last drop out of him.

“Cackle, crackle!”

“It’s no use trying to spit it out now. Even if I spit it out, I can just feed it to you again.”

Shailene sipped her tea, her voice soft and scary.

Since the confession was in a teacup, not tea, she didn’t mind drinking it from the same teapot.

Howard, who was finally released after the knight who completed his mission left, gritted his teeth.

“This vile—!”

“You’re not in a position to say that to me. Let’s see, let’s see. Do you really have no conscience?”

Shailene furrowed her brows in bewilderment.

The dirty work of framing someone for a crime that never happened was simply correcting the behavior of an uncooperative criminal.

“You were the one who had August Dawson and Emma bring heretical items to the Duke of Diat’s house, weren’t you?”

“Ugh… … Yes, it’s me!”

Unlike her head, which tried not to answer, her lips moved on their own and blurted out the truth.

“The magic tool explosion incident was also planned by you and Johanna Dempsey?”

“That’s right, and the wizard I bribed was sent to the Eastern Doban Kingdom!”

“Oh, I see.”

I wondered where the wizard had gone, and it turned out he had run away to Doban.

“another.”

Shailene, who was smiling with satisfaction, brought up a secret matter.

She thought as she thought hard about solving the mission.

If there is a secret behind the deaths of the Duke and Duchess, it is likely that the person who benefited the most from their deaths is involved.

So, I deliberately left Kylan behind and came to see Howard alone today.

“You know the real reason why the Duke and Duchess of Calciard died, right?”

“What… … Of course I know!”

Howard, who had become lost in thought, tried to deny it reflexively, but the effect of the confession made his tongue move on its own and he blurted out the truth.

I had no choice but to bite my tongue to keep the confession from spilling out.

Shailene quickly noticed this, jumped up, and stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.

puck!

“That won’t work.”

“Ugh, ugh!”

She was convinced as she watched Howard struggle to spit out the handkerchief.

‘This guy knows!’

Shailene, her eyes flashing, grabbed Howard by the collar and pressed him.

“Tell me now! Tell me what secret lies behind the deaths of the Duke and Duchess!”

“Ugh, ugh!”

“say!”

She grabbed the handkerchief fiercely. Howard missed the chance to bite his tongue and his mouth betrayed the will of the owner of his body and cried out.

“I killed them!”
