Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Letter.”

Joel tilts his head, accepting the letter.

“What letter? ”

“It's from Caith's son. ”

“Oh, by the way, you're not the only one here. Keith had a wedding. How else did he know you were here, by the way? ”

Joel pulls out the letter with a curious expression and starts reading it. Suddenly, he tapped her on the shoulder with a sad expression.

“Good work.”

The letter was about escorting the Duke of Dovern and Anness from the capital to Earl Gronst for marriage.

In short, I was afraid that I would use some reliable and skilled Hogcrisis for free.

“Aren't you coming with me? ”

“I don't like it. ”

“What?”

“I don't like getting a scar on Caith's kid. Heheh heh, so good work. ”

“Uh-huh, what's a good friend? Just go with……. ”

It was then.

“Earl!"

Suddenly, the door to the mansion opens and someone leaps inside. He was a steward managing the mansion in the capital.

“What's going on? ”

“Well, there it was stuck in the front door of the mansion. ”

The butler raised one arrow with a trembling hand. Precisely a folded, paper arrow in the middle of an arrow bar.

In other words, it was a letter blown with an arrow.

Lycaen quickly opens the letter with an arrow grabbed from her hand.

“Hmm?! ”

Suddenly, his face was stiff.

After watching him, Joel asked with an anxious expression.

“What's the matter? ”

Lycaen handed over another letter and asked.

“Do you know anything about this? ”

“Well, what is this? ”

Joel's face with the letter was stiff as well.

Circus is investigating the perimeter of Earl Frost.

Single line of content. But it was a frightening story for Ricain.

The fact that Circus is investigating the vicinity of Lycaen means he knows that Lycaen is digging about them. And that meant that we might have to go to all-out war with them while we were just preparing.

Lycaen asked with a serious face.

“Isn't the Persian captured? ”

“No? I checked on you from time to time on my way here, and you escaped safely. I heard they caught a few in the middle, but I heard they got it right. Your children are being tortured and tortured, not even properly. ”

“Then how did they know I existed? ”

“I see. Hmm? How else would the person who sent this letter know about this? ”

At that moment, a thought came to mind in Lycaen's head.

“Oh, fuck you! ”

The person who sent the letter must have been the "they" who informed Lycaen of the existence of Circus three months ago. And it was they who informed Circus of Lycaen's existence.

Lycaen shouts in a loud voice.

“Is this what these bastards are made of? ”

“What do you mean?”

“If it's for some reason you let them know where I am and let me know their moves. ”

“Are you trying to put up a good fight? ”

“Maybe……. ”

Joel narrows his eyes and speaks in a serious voice.

“I was going to make you fight like this the first time I wrote you.... And what are their intentions? ”

“You must be drawing the power out of Circus. So give me this information and I'll give you a heads-up. ”

“Haaa! These guys are really mean! What are you gonna do? ”

A cold smile came to Lycaen's mouth.

“We can't do this right now. First of all, we have to keep up with the timing. ”

“You'd be good at it. ”

“You'll be a little busy, too. ”

“Huh?"

“It's time for you to find out who this rat is. ”

“When did you tell me to leave it alone? ”

Joel asked with a look that he couldn't understand.

When I first received the letter about Circus and learned that Gain was someone's precision, Lycaen withheld Joel from investigating. But now that you've asked me to investigate, I have to wonder why.

“It was a little vague at the time. ”

“What?”

“See if he knows about you, too. ”

“Huh?"

“Gain was precise, but I've never seen you. And only Raul knows about the treasures of the klaus dungeon. But when he pointed at me, I thought there must be a reason, so I hid it first. They know about me, but if they don't know about you, they think they can turn their backs on me. ”

“So now it's like they don't know I exist? ”

Lycaen nods.

“If I knew about you, I wouldn't have told you that the Circus were digging behind me. Your intelligence will tell us more in advance. ”

“Hmm, that, too. ”

“And now we have one more piece of clue. ”

“Huh? A clue piece? ”

“They're not just using me to take down Circus. ”

“Well, that's for sure. If that's the goal, we should wait until you're ready, because there's no reason to try to cause a conflict so urgently. So their goal... is to take away the power of Circus? ”

“Maybe.”

“Khhh, okay. Circus' movements are clearly in our sights now, so we should be able to dig behind them. ”

“Yes, if you look into Circus, you can get a line on this rat. I went to investigate things like Priella might be a doll, so that might help a little bit. ”

“Good. Shouldn't we take care of Circus' digging behind you first, by the way?" ”

Riccianne shakes her head in excitement at Joel's alarming question.

“Once this happens, it is inevitable to conflict. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“Let's have a fight. ”

“What!”

Joel, who was about to be startled again, suddenly hangs up his head and tilts. It wasn't because Lycaen's face wanted to fight.

“Anyway, he's got nothing to say about it. ”

“You'll find out soon enough. Anyway, this rat... ”

Suddenly, a cold life erupts from Riyaen's body.

At that moment, the door opens wide and someone jumps in. It was Senna who was excited to wander around Edelscht during the academy for a few days.

I was still full of excitement about seeing something interesting today.

“Brother... Huff! ”

However, I took a surprise and stepped back because of Ricaien's lively face.

“W-what's going on? ”

Lycaen called her without answering.

“Sena.”

“Yes, brother... ”

“You need to return to your territory immediately. ”

“What? ”

Lycaen, however, still gave orders instead of answers.

“As soon as Senna Prokers returns to the territory, take over the lord's authority from Earl Dane Prokers. ”

“W-what the hell! Why are you doing this...... ”

Lycaen had never spoken to himself with such a hard command. Moreover, his father was also referred to as the late Dane Procures. I don't know what it was, but I could interpret it as something very serious happened.

‘Ah! No way... ’

The thought of touching Sana's head at the same time.

“Those Circus guys? ”

Lycaen nods heavily.

“I think something big is going to happen at home, so you need to get ready first. ”

“Well, yes! ”

Lycaen nods nervously and rarely greets Senna with a gentle expression.

“I told you before, right? You're the only one who can protect my parents while I'm gone. ”

“Yes!”

Chapter 9. The Way of Longevity (1)

“Are you okay?”

Feron nods, his head stiffened in Lycaen's question.

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

Lycaen smiles satisfactorily as Feron responds without hesitation. It was because it was clear at once that the shyness that had remained until it was sent to the PerGrande Mountains had diminished considerably.

‘This is why I have to play hard to get. ’

But also, for a moment, he said with a firm expression.

“I heard you were seriously injured. ”

“Geldrone is in serious condition. ”

The Geldrone was almost on the perimeter. I was dragged to Circus and tortured, and I've been living in the rugged environment of the PerGrande Mountains.

“Hmm... What about the cure? ”

“It's too severe to enter the capital and is being treated at an inn near the capital. ”

“And you?"

“I'm fine. ”

Feron straightens his shoulders. In fact, Feron's condition was not so good either.
