Inside the dungeon.

It was where the Earl of Remington settled.

His body was stained with blood and vomit.

I sprayed aqua magic on the guy who had his eyes closed as if he was fast asleep.

?Phew!

At the sudden splash of cold water, the guy opened his eyes wide.

?Ugh!

Not only were his arms and legs tied, but the Count’s mouth was also gagged.

“How have you been for the past three days?”

The guy started to squirm at my words.

Whatever.

I opened the prison door and approached the guy.

“You’re a lot more reserved than I thought. I was quite surprised.”

?Uuuuup!

I whispered quietly to the guy who was shaking his head vigorously as if the gag in his mouth was suffocating him.

“Your Majesty, I will remove your gag, and I would like you to answer the questions I ask you from now on very honestly and sincerely. First, I will let you speak.”

As I untied the gag, the bastard glared at me with a resentful look.

“Hey you! Why are you doing this to me! I answered every question you asked! Just kill me instead!”

“If you want to die, bite your tongue. Can’t you do that?”

“…….”

The man who had been silent for a moment at those words looked at the group that had entered the prison. Among them, the Viscount’s gaze was directed towards Iris.

After a while.

“……Is this by any chance Iris Youngae?”

“……That’s right.”

“Young-ae! Please save me! This is how you treat the nobility of the empire……! Kkaaaak!”

The guy who had been talking excitedly started screaming loudly.

The man looking back glared.

Fire.

His own hands were being singed by the magic.

“Your Majesty, you must focus on me. My time is precious.”

“Ugh……! This crazy guy……!”

“I think you’re making one mistake… There’s no one who can save you, Your Majesty. That includes Young-ae over there.”

“…….”

He continued speaking to the silent guy.

“I heard that among the pains that humans feel, burning pain is by far the most intense. Did you feel it just now?”

As I started talking with a sly smile, fear filled the guy’s eyes.

“……This…… is crazy…….”

“What I want is simple. Your Majesty, please give me the answer I want. Isn’t that easy?”

“……What the hell are you talking about? How would I know what you want…….”

“There are only two things I’m curious about. First, who did you contact when you sent the assassins? And second, where is your slush fund hidden?”

The Count’s pupils trembled at those words. He must have realized just now that I was no pushover, having just burned his hand.

You must have realized that depending on how you answer here, the pain you will receive will also differ.

“Then, shall we start with the first answer?”

“……I said it clearly! Baron Willington! He knew that the Marquis’ security was lax…… Aaaah!!”

Anyway.

I tell you that every time you open your mouth, you lie.

As I warmed his fingers with the flame, the guy let out a roar. The burning flesh gave off a delicious smell that spread throughout the prison.

“Ding. Wrong. That’s not the answer I wanted, Your Majesty.”

“Eu …

Judging from the way he was shedding tears, he seemed to be in a lot of pain.

After cooling down my burned hands with Aqua, I immediately applied a cure.

Then, flesh began to grow on the Count’s fingers.

If it were the original cure magic, it would be difficult to regenerate the nerves, but if it were a cure with a mixed drive method applied, the nerves would be able to be restored to some extent.

The Count’s eyes looked as if he was about to cry at the sight of his fingers slowly recovering.

“Your Majesty, I already know the truth.”

“……What on earth are you talking about!”

Although I was acting desperately, I couldn’t fool my keen eye for detail in this game.

When I brought up the word truth, the guy’s eyes were clearly shaking violently.

He must have had that look in his eyes because he was so jealous.

“Isn’t that Baron Wallington?”

“……Jin…… Really Wallington…… Kkaaaaaa!”

He continued speaking, slowly burning the bastard’s fingers with flames as if he were grilling lamb skewers.

“I think I understand why he is so desperate to hide his name. Since you were wrong, he probably wants revenge on me. But… that would be impossible.”

“Kyaaaaah!! Stop it! Stop it!!!”

“I already know that guy.”

After completely burning one of his fingers, he whispered a name in his ear.

“Baron Hamington. Isn’t that him?”

“……!”

Remington’s eyes lit up with shock as he heard these words.

It was a perfect checkmate.

A mind clouded by pain.

The torture I’ve been receiving for the past three days.

There is even a fear that I whisper.

No matter how great your acting skills are, you can’t help but show your emotions in this situation.

“Your Majesty, there is only one thing I want you to do. How did you plan things with him? Please record the details of the story in this magic regeneration bead. Isn’t that easy?”

“…….”

The count bowed his head deeply at my words.

This isn’t as easy to get over as I thought.

He was a bother.

Torture is not a very pleasant act for me either, so I thought I should add one more threat to end it quickly.

I looked into the Count’s eyes and spoke as if giving a warning.

“Your Majesty, do you intend to send your family through such suffering?”

“……You bastard…… No way……?”

“My time is precious. So I would like you to answer my question quickly, Your Highness. I promise you this. If you do not give me the answer I want within five minutes….”

Hurrah!

Just like the fireworks fluttering brilliantly in my hand, the Count’s pupils were also shaking violently.

“Your family won’t be able to have an easy time either. I tried to send you off without any pain, if possible.”

After I finished speaking, I looked at the count with a faint smile.

“There are five minutes left.”

“…….”

The silence did not last long.

Finally, as if he had given up on everything, the guy started to speak one by one.

* ? ?* ? ?*

When I escaped from the dungeon, I was holding a magic regeneration bead containing the confession of the Count.

That wasn’t all they got.

We were even able to find out where the slush funds he had been hiding were located.

A hidden secret space inside the Count’s office.

The very space that could be accessed using the organ device was where the guy hid his slush funds.

‘It’s an organ device.’

So when I explored using mana, it seemed like nothing was revealed?

Thanks to the great performance, a big smile appeared on my lips.

“Will Yeong-ae go to the training ground again?”

“…….”

The guy looked at me with a look of disgust at what I said. His pale face was a bonus.

Maybe it’s because of the scene I just saw.

That’s why I told you not to follow me.

“Burning your fingers with fire… isn’t that too cruel?”

“Did it seem cruel?”

“……Isn’t that obvious?”

He smiled at Iris, who started asking questions in a pleading tone.

“Young-ae, do you know what kind of person Viscount Remington is?”

“……I know that the rumors are not good. But even taking that into account……”

also.

I only know superficially.

If you had known about the guy’s ugly true nature, you wouldn’t have just ended it with saying that the rumor was bad.

I felt like I had to tell him about his true nature.

“The author is a man who kidnapped poor people and supplied them as gladiators. But that’s not all.”

Murder. Drugs. Entertainment. Etc.

As each of the bastard’s evil deeds poured out of my mouth, the little boy’s pupils also gradually shook.

“……Are you saying that he ordered all of those things?”

“In the first place, such illegal businesses are structured in a way that they cannot run without the support of the owner. The illegal dumping ground I visited last time was like that.”

“…….”

Perhaps this little boy thought of the count as just a corrupt official.

That’s why he said such peaceful things.

“After hearing this story, do you still think that the treatment of the Count was wrong?”

“……that…….”

He spoke as if giving a definite answer to the hesitating little boy.

“Trash deserves to be treated like trash. That’s how I’ve lived so far, and that’s how I’ll continue to live. If you don’t like that, then Young-ae isn’t right for me.”

This was my value. Besides, I couldn’t clash with him every time I acted like this, so it was right to insist on it in advance.

“……”

The guy was silent for a moment after hearing what I said.

The guy who had been making eye contact for a while sighed.

“……If everything you told me is true……. I also……think that was the right thing to do.”

“I wouldn’t lie about something like this. I’m glad you understand. Then, why don’t you go in and rest first?”

Now that the persuasion was successfully completed, it was time to secure the slush funds that the Count had been hiding.

What about Erciel and Leonhard?

There was no need to show the slush fund to this brat. Although he was my disciple, he had not yet completely won me over.

The saying goes that the fewer eyes that see something like this, the better.

Perhaps because of the firm tone, the guy nodded his head slightly.

“……all right.”

The little boy answered with a somewhat gloomy attitude and started moving towards the training ground again.

I guess I can try to appease him a little later.

So my party and I entered the Count’s office. As the Count had instructed, we touched the mechanism behind the study, and the study slid back.

Behind that space there were stairs leading down.

“Your Majesty. Just in case, I will take the lead.”

“okay.”

Even if the Count had hidden a trap here, his skills would be enough to overcome it.

‘Well, most likely not.’

What if there was a trap and you didn’t mention it? I was planning to give the Count and his family some time.

Since you probably already knew a little about me from the conversation we had just had, you wouldn’t have acted like that when all your family members were being held hostage.

Ttukbuk.

Ttukbuk.

About three minutes had passed since I continued down the stairs leading to the basement.

It was a space dug quite deep.

As I reached the end of the stairs, I saw some shiny objects.

In addition to gold bars and all sorts of antiques, there are also several artifacts.

‘… … There’s more money hidden away than I thought?’

Even if we roughly calculate it, the items appear to be worth about 2,000 platinum coins.

This isn’t even a rare dragon.

Perhaps these are items that the Count has been collecting little by little over the past several decades?

I smiled brightly as I looked at the items.

At this level, it seemed like it would be a great help in restoring the territory.

“Erciel?”

“Yes, your highness.”

“Put some artifacts and gold bars in the magic pouch.”

“yes.”

I also started to pack items using the magic pouch on my waist.

I filled my pockets with stuff, but unfortunately I didn’t think I could take them all at once. I would have to go back and forth at least three times.

‘It’s salty.’

The weight of the magic pouch, which felt heavy even when I was walking, made me smile.
