To Be a Power in the Shadows!

One man was walking down a dim underground tunnel.

The age would have been around the time I was in my mid-30s. Sharp eye difference in the forged body. He wraps his gray hair all back.

His legs stopped at a punch in the basement. There is one door and two soldiers beside it.

"Is this where Baron Cagneau's daughter is?

"In here, Master Olba."

The soldier questioned saluted Orba and unlocked the door.

"Please be careful. restrained, but very defiant."

"Hmm, who do you think I am?

"Huh! And excuse me!

Orba opened the door and went inside the room.

It was a stone dungeon there. One girl was connected to a chain of demonic seals secured to the wall.

"Claire Caguenot."

To Orba's call, the girl called Claire looked up.

She was a beautiful girl. Because they took me away from where I was sleeping, or in a thin negligee, with a rich swelling of breasts and a peek of luminous thighs. The silky brunette was cut off with her back and her attentive eyes glanced up at Olba.

"I've seen your face, in the king's capital. Sure it could have been Viscount Olba?

"Well, I used to be in Kingsguard... No. At the martial arts festival tournament?

"It's a martial arts festival. Princess Iris killed her unnecessarily."

Huff, and Claire laughed.

"Well, if it's within the boundaries of a game, it's special. I'm not going to lose in action."

"It's no different in action. Viscount Olba loses Game One of the Finals"

"Bullshit. I don't know how great it is to be on the finals stage, little girl."

Olba glanced at Claire.

"I could stand in a year"

I'm sorry, but you don't have another year.

The chain connecting Claire rang.

Shortly afterwards, her teeth were meshed with the crunch of Olba's neck.

Gatin, and.

If Orba hadn't tilted his neck slightly, he would have been bitten off the carotid artery.

"It's you or me who's not alive in a year. Want to try it?

"You don't have to try, Claire Cagneau."

Orba's fist struck out Claire's jaw, laughing furiously.

Claire is slammed against the stone wall as it is, but looks to Orba with unchanging strong eyes.

Orba lowered his uncalled fist.

"Did you jump back?"

Claire smiled invincibly.

"Could it have been a fly?"

"Well, they don't just swing by high magic,"

"I was taught that magic is not a quantity, but a way to use it."

"You have a good father."

My brother taught me nothing about baldness.

"Brother...?

"My busy brother. Fight and I will win. But I always learn from my brother's sword. Yet that child learns nothing from my sword. That's why I bully you every day."

Claire said that with a naughty grin.

"Poor little brother. So I'm the hero who saved him from his terrible sister. Now, let's talk about this for nothing..."

Olba cut the words and looked to Claire.

"Claire Cagheno. Have you had any physical problems lately? The magic is hard to handle, the control is unstable, the pain runs when you handle the magic, the body begins to rot black, what are those symptoms?

"Take me away on purpose, and what you do is the whole doctor thing?

Claire laughed at the edge of her glossy lips.

"I used to have a daughter, too. I don't want to imitate it any more. It would be best for each other to answer honestly."

"Is that a threat? It's the nature of me to want to disobey when I'm threatened. even if it was unreasonable."

"You honestly don't think I'm willing to answer?

"Well, I don't know what to do."

Olba and Claire stared at each other for a while.

It was Claire who broke the silence first.

"Fine, it's not a big deal and let's answer. Could it have been a physical and magical disorder? It's nothing right now, as long as it's not even chained."

"Now what?

"Yeah, now. About a year ago, I think I had the symptoms you said."

"What, you mean you're cured? On your own?"

There is no case in Orba's knowledge that 'alle' has naturally healed.

"Well, nothing in particular... Oh, yeah, to my brother? I don't know, but he asked me to practice it, and when I was done, I was feeling so much better."

"Suttori? You've never heard of it...... But is it true that the symptoms appeared first and foremost as a suitable person?"

"Fits......? What does that mean?"

"You don't need to know. It breaks soon anyway. Oh, your brother will investigate too..."

The moment Olba said that much, a shock ran into his nose bone.

"Gu!?

Orba retreats to the door, holding down his nosebleed and staring at Claire.

"Claire Cagheno, you......!

She was supposed to have her limbs chained, but only the right wrist chain somehow came off, and there was blood flowing out of it.

"I want to shred my hand meat and take my fingers off too......!?

The chain that was holding her is not just a chain, it's a demon-sealed chain. In other words, Claire only had pure muscle strength, shredding off the flesh of her own hand, shattering the bones, removing the restraints, and beating Orba.

Olba was stunned by the fact.

"If anything happens to that kid, I'll never forgive him! Kill you, your loved ones, your family, your friends, nothing left...!?

Olba's full fist punched Claire in the stomach. There is no way to prevent Orba's magically enhanced blow to her, who is tied to the chains of the Magic Seal.

"Little girl......!

Orba threw up and Claire collapsed.

Blood shed from Claire's right hand creates a red and black stain on the floor.

"Fair enough. Now you know..."

Orba groans and reaches for the blood. That's when the soldier let him breathe and opened the door.

"Dear Olba, I'm in trouble! It's an intruder!!

"He said it was an intruder!? Who is it?

"I don't know! Few enemies, but we don't have teeth!

"Come on, I'm out! You guys consolidate your defenses!

Orba pounded his tongue and turned his heel back.
