Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Is that possible? I'm just curious what you think. ”

The baroness clears her throat and asks in a small voice.

“Looks like you've taken the bait. It has something to do with the men who attacked you on the way here, doesn't it? None of the nobles of the Luo Kingdom are hiding that much power, so perhaps someone else was after you. So show a little more strength, you think you're going to draw out someone else's power? That way you can find out who someone else really is. Aren't we supposed to use good bait to catch big fish? ”

Lycaen looks a little surprised. I didn't expect it to be this precise. Prince Breton didn't seem to think so, but he wasn't Prince Breton, so his prediction was that he fully understood what Riyaen was thinking.

If we could send that many assassins, it would be quite revealing. Nevertheless, the scope was too wide. To get a clearer picture of who he was, he needed to get more out of "him."

Lycaen said with a surprised expression and a meaningful smile.

“You're scary. Never say that you don't like tricks. ”

“I hate it. But there are certain things you can't help but know. ”

“Well, the world of the nobles, it's like doing your own work for a beating. ”

“You know exactly. ”

“Hehe, I'm soaking my feet in the same place, aren't I? ”

“Anyway, I've shown you something good today, so I'll repay you in the future. Don't count on it. It's a burden. ”

“Hahaha, I look forward to it. ”

“Why did you call me? ”

Caith, who came to Lycaen's room at night, asked me with a curious expression. Lycaen asked me to come to his room during the day and after the fight.

Lycaen, who folded his arms and sat on the couch, turned his gaze to Caith for a moment, smiled, scratching his teeth.

“Will you stop? ”

“Huh?"

Caith tilts his head. There were only two people in the room, but he certainly didn't say anything to himself. And that question was quickly solved.

“You rascal, you're quick to notice. ”

An In-young who suddenly appeared. A familiar face with black clothes all over its body. It was Joel, the master of the other art room guild.

Lycaen looks at Joel and asks.

“You didn't think I'd notice? ”

“Tsk, I've been practicing hard. I was breathing while trying to check it out.... How long have you known?”

“Avoid the eyes of demons. I've known it since I hid and watched during the day. ”

At that moment, Joel's face turned pale.

“Heh, you bastard! ”

“Don't you think you should practice more first? ”

“It's none of your concern. ”

After understanding the situation through their conversation, Caith sits down, smiling heavily.

“It's been a while. How's it going?" ”

“It was a lot of things. How many of those damn Circus bastards did you roll our kids over for? ”

Lycaen and Caith make a flawed look at the same time. It was because a strange name came out. Of course, the stranger's name was the name of the secret society they were looking for, Byron, but I was a little surprised to find out.

Joel raises his chin in a cheerful look when he sees the two reactions.

“Hehe, I did my best. ”

Lycaen snorts and puts cold water in Joel's mood.

“The best intelligence guilds on the continent didn't even know they existed, and now they're pretending to be.... ”

“Profit, by the way, I get all the good feeling about being with him! Shit!”

“But how did you find out? ”

Caith asked with a quite curious expression. When Joel saw that, he returned to his original mood and said with a proud look.

“We snatched King Kelven. ”

When I heard that, I remembered the look of surprise on Lycaen's face. And Joel returns to his original delightful posture. Of course, not for long.

“That's what you thought, isn't it? ”

“Tsk, by the way, I don't know how to say this beautifully. Shit.”

“So how much did you figure out? ”

“That's all for now. I didn't have time to ask the Kelven Kings to move them to places the Circus don't know. ”

Lycaen nods slowly and asks.

“So you're here to steal the people of the House of Ruo? ”

“Of course. We're trying to rob the Starens now, too. We need to get the three of them together and check them out so we can get a better look at them. And the only reason I'm here in person is because you two are here, and it's been a while since I've seen you. ”

“That's a good idea. I think about it a lot... The guild master should be fine by now. ”

“Anyway, speaking of him.... ”

“But……. What do you do when you get what you want from the royal family? ”

“Our guild tends to treat information providers extremely well when they're distracted. Of course, most people don't even know who the guild is. But that doesn't mean we have to do something about the people who know who they are. Likewise, we treat them extremely well. However, there is surveillance... ”

“If I see any suspicious spots...? ”

“Of course I'll die. ”

Lycaen nods. That's why the Artroom Guild is the best information guild, but its name is still unknown. Of course, the Artroom Guild acts as a guild with many different names. But no one knew who he really was. Even the guild members were half of those who didn't know their real affiliations.

The bottom is made of a rigorous clay, and they are tied up in sections into a guild with intermediate information of a different name. And when you put together that intermediate information guild and create a guild on the top floor again, if you integrate all the advanced guilds that you have created, you become an art room guild.

The guild members of the Intermediate Guild only know their own guild, and the Guild Master only knows the Advanced Guild directly above them. The senior guild members do not know that there is an art room guild above them.

Thoroughly fragmented, multi-step slime structure. The body will never be revealed even if either of the bottoms fall off. Of course, the guild members of the actual art room guild will monitor the underlying guild while also managing it. And finally, what they reveal prevents them from doing anything, no matter what they do.

That's why the Artroom Guild was the best intelligence guild on the continent.

‘Kleus, that old man is amazing. ’

Lycaen laughs in contemplation of Kleus, who is now almost forgotten. Then he asked for Joel.

“If I had already taken King Kelven.... If you take it away again, someone's gonna think it's weird. ”

“Huh, am I an idiot? I've already prepared everything. ”

“Huh? How? ”

“I can't teach you that much. Instead, go away, both of you, without a doubt. ”

Lycaen nods quietly, looking at Joel as if there was some great way. I didn't have to dig this deep.

I have a favor to ask you.

“Prince Linus is in the House of Ruo. ”

“Huh? The youngest prince? ”

“Yes."

“Then why? ”

“Take special care of her. ”

Joel looks surprised for a moment. I already knew that Lycaen was quite spacious, but it wasn't in her nature to say it out loud.

“Do you have something to do with this? ”

Joel asked, impatient. Lycaen shrugged his shoulders and replied with an unobtrusive expression.

“Well, it's just... I feel sorry for him because he's too young. It's cute what you do. ”

Caith, listening next to him, fixes his flawed face and mutters in a harsh voice.

“Cute is……. Tsk!”

In a surprising response, Joel pointed to Caith on his chin and asked, looking at Lycaen with his eyes.

“What's wrong with him? ”

“Khh, there is such a thing. ”

Chapter 8. Time to go back (1)

“Fire! ”

“Water! Bring water! ”

“Put out the fire! ”

A shout echoed from everywhere. And black smoke filled the dark night sky. In the window, a fierce flowering flower was waving its tongue around, and the black soot around the window was expanding.

A star palace situated in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Luo is completely engulfed in anger.

Threatening flames rise with smoke from all the windows located around the wall, and the roof has already fallen to black ash.

The soldiers occupying the palace of Bren Kingdom rushed to the east and west in the middle of the night to extinguish the fire.

Like a well-trained soldier, a rope is formed quickly and a bucket full of water is quickly delivered.

Aah! Aah!

The restless sprinkled buckets of water begin to cool down gradually at the entrance to the Star Bow. But that was it.

Kwa-ang!

A fierce flame rises with the sound of thunder, and black ashes bloom. The beam that was supporting the ceiling was destroyed by the fire and the ceiling collapsed.

Suddenly, the fires pour out the door and the raging flames set the soldiers back in a reflexive retreat. Then someone rushes out screaming.

“What are you doing?! Move! Turn off the fire! ”
