The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me - The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me chapter 62

Chapter 8: Second Revenge (7)

Iris trembled like an aspen tree.

She has a face that has never appeared in her nightmares.

And she is better than the demon king. The only person he feared more than Edmund.

On the one hand, the person she hates the most. Someone she already killed, but she wants to kill again even if she meets again.

He now became a ghost and stood in front of her seat.

“What is it?”

The princess, unable to see the image of the previous duke at all, looked at Iris with a puzzled expression.

But Iris couldn’t hear her words. She murmured with a distraught look.

“Ah… father? Wow, how is this…….”

Aristocrats are agitated by her words.

The saintess who was sitting in her seat sensed something strange and stood up from her seat to approach Iris.

Wrapped in her divine power, she placed her hand on Iris’s forehead. Her hallucinations were trying to free her.

But it didn’t work. Iris still trembled, muttering only her own words that she couldn’t understand.

‘Why?’

The saintess could not hide her puzzled expression when her divine power did not work.

Under the protection of her goddess, she was the most outstanding in her empire in terms of hallucinations and spirits. She also broke the hallucination of the Four Heavenly Kings of her past demon king.

So, no matter how powerful Edmund or the wizards collaborating with him casts powerful hallucinations, he cannot stand in front of her.

But it doesn’t work…….

“Everyone! Please make sure there are no figures under the Stealth spell now!”

The saintess immediately shouted to the wizards.

“I have tried using detection magic, but nothing is detected.”

Marc (Edmund in disguise) said with a puzzled expression. The same goes for the other wizards around him.

The more I did, the worse Iris’ condition was in real time. She saw at first, but where did her fear go, and now only hatred and anger remained. When she pointed her finger at her father and tried to say something of hers, her saintess quickly covered her mouth and pulled her behind her.

“Come on, blow something at the spot Duke Rossier pointed out!”

The saintess shouted.

– Let’s end here for now. Mina, please.

As soon as I gave the order, Marion’s doll disappeared.

Mina came out with Marion and Raphaella.

Belatedly, a wizard threw a small fireball into the space where the doll was. Of course nothing fit.

“Everybody, stop!”

As the wizards were searching around the table, Iris shouted. As all eyes turned to Iris, she forced a smile.

“… I’m sorry for worrying you. She was just tired for a moment and saw nothing. It is over now.”

“Obviously ‘Father… ‘ wasn’t it?”

“Yes… It looks like my father’s ghost has been here for a while. They must have come to bless us.”

Iris covered it as naturally as possible. But as she said that, her arms trembled slightly.

No one really believed this. Because of that, her behavior was unnatural. Iris noticed this atmosphere too, but she said with the brightest smile she could to change the subject.

“hahahahaha, sorry! Are you all surprised? Forget what happened just a moment ago. ‘Cause I’m fine now Really.”

Then she sat down where the ghost had stood. She still had her insecurities, but when she laughed, the other nobles tried to smile at her.

But they already felt uncomfortable in this place.

“I think Edmund is here now. I’ll unleash the troops of the Etoile Church and find Edmund.”

“Yeah, that sounds good. But please don’t break the atmosphere as much as possible.”

Iris ordered to search for Edmund, who might be hiding somewhere in the garden, in order to prevent the next attack, as suggested by her saintess.

– Now, come back. But be a little more careful than before. Wizards started searching. Fortunately, it seems that the mansion has not been entered yet.

Edmund, who moved behind Iris and watched the situation, spoke to Mina again.

– I’m back.

– Okay. Then I will issue a new order.

Edmund gave Marion detailed instructions. She had already told her once, but she said it again.

Meanwhile, servants came to the round table and poured wine into glasses. Iris stood up from her seat, she said.

“First of all, thank you to everyone who came here. In particular, thank you for being brave enough to attend even though rumors are circulating that the traitor named Edmund may be targeting me. I take this opportunity to pray for the eternal prosperity of the Empire and for all of you. And we pray for the glory of our Rosier family and especially for the peace of our late father.”

“For the eternal prosperity of the empire! For the glory of the Rossier family!”

Iris gave a toast, and everyone in her seat rose and drank. Iris also drank wine with an elegant look.

But at that moment, she saw her father’s ghost again from the distance.

Iris dropped her glass in surprise.

With that sudden action, the eyes of everyone invited to the dinner turned to Iris.

Iris was trembling. But the emotion on her face was more like anger than fear.

She pointed her finger at her own father.

“Why do you torment me so much after death? Was I such an ugly daughter? What mortal sin have I committed against you?”

Her ghost didn’t say anything. Instead, a mauve rose appeared in his hand. Seeing this, Iris flinched for a moment, but she did not back down and argued.

“Ha, is there any proof that I put the rose in the car? Are you accusing me of being the real culprit who killed my father? So, do you want that son of a b*tch, Fleance, whom you terribly care for, to take over your father’s place?”

The saintess, unable to see her appearance, got up from her seat and tried to restrain her iris. But the Duke of Valois grabbed her arm and said,

“Now the saintess cannot help that b*tch.”

Meanwhile, even after Iris yelled at her, Duke Rossier, her ancestor, continued to glared at Iris. Iris said without giving up.

“That will never happen! As long as I live and breathe, I am the Lord of Roswell, and the Head of House Rosier is I, Iris Rosier! Now the father no longer has the right to interfere! So, retreat to the underworld right now!!”

Iris roared as she raised a vein in her neck. The wizard, who belatedly grasped her situation, threw her magic in the direction Iris shouted.

– Alright, no more!

But again, the magic they threw didn’t hit anything. At the same time, Iris was finally released from madness.

She looked around her with her quivering eyes.

Thanks to Iris, who behaved strangely twice, the atmosphere at the banquet had already been ruined.

No, more than that, the atmosphere was messed up. Everyone in her seat was looking at Iris with her dumbfounded face.

Only the Duke of Valois was laughing at the Duke of Rossier.

“… Duke of Rossier. Did you see the vision of the previous duke again?”

The first to speak was Archduke Charles. Iris was at a loss. When she couldn’t answer, Archduke Charles continued.

“Didn’t he just say that he came here to bless you? So he prayed for his peace. But, aren’t your actions contradicting this?”

“… Well, the one I saw earlier wasn’t my father. It was a fake wearing my father’s mask. It’s probably Edmund’s plot.”

Iris said, suppressing her anger. However, Archduke Charles tilted his head.

“Edmund’s work? But Duke Rossier. If he really came here, there would already be a fight.”

“… ….”

“And what kind of trick did Edmund use to see only you, and the saintess and other wizards couldn’t even detect it?”

“You are right.”

The princess also agreed. Originally, she was uncomfortable with Archduke Charles in this position, but she thought that Archduke Charles had said the right thing this time around.

She went up to Iris, whose pupils were still shaking, and said.

“I think we should find out the truth right now.”

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you ask the Duke of Rossier earlier if there was any proof that you put the rose in the tea? But wasn’t the original Duke of Rossier’s death because the medicine was made incorrectly?”

She belatedly realized her own mistake, Iris. Her breath was stopped

When the princess gave her signal, the royal mage next to her took out the orb of truth. He planned to interrogate Iris right here and now.

“Ji, what are you trying to do? What about the banquet?”

“Don’t play nonsense. The banquet is already over. Because you ruined it Instead, everyone here right now wants to know the truth.”

“… ….”

“So, let me ask you one question. The predecessor of the Duke of Rossier. Did you kill For reference, this ‘killed’ includes not only direct killing but also indirect killing.”

“This can’t be… ….”

Iris’ breathing became irregular. Her face went white.

And the moment she held the Orb of Truth in her hand. She collapsed and lost consciousness. Her escort knight and her mark quickly rushed to her aid.

The princess laughed incredulously.

“Do you think I will be fooled by such acting? Wake up.”

“Please. Please stop pressuring the duke.”

Then the escort driver bowed her head and said. The princess looked at her escort knight for a moment. And for a very short time, Mark’s eyes met.

“… I will withdraw today. But don’t forget. When she wakes up, I have to take her scrutiny.”

“Of course. I will tell you when the duke wakes up.”

“Let’s go. I’ve already lost my appetite.”

The princess left her seat without hiding her displeasure. Archduke Charles looked down at the fallen Iris with a disappointed expression, then turned around.

After the imperial family left, the remaining nobles had no reason to remain here any longer. They started leaving this place as if they had been waiting.

‘Looks good.’

The Duke of Valois smiled and looked at Iris before joining the nobles.

From now on, we won’t see her as her aristocrat to aristocrat.
