Tower of Karma
Shogun: The Witch of Altvais Castle III
When William arrived at Altvais Castle, a rare combination now existed at the Royal Palace in Arkas, where he enjoyed tea across the street from his face.
Eleonora, the second princess, just like Airhardt, the second prince of the Arcadia kingdom. Formerly he loved one knight, one to the knight's enemies, and the other was still on the knight's side. Conflicts of opinion began to scatter around the knight as a starting point, and it was no longer a relationship as before, but thus something calm when faced with the face. There is no atmosphere that was thorny on both sides.
"- That being said, everyone's rumouring. Finally, the White Knight made contact with that woman."
"That woman... you mean your sister?
"Absolutely. That's because she's dangerous."
"Are you calling my real sister? I'm not impressed."
"Ha ha. I'm hungry with me, and I'm terribly bad at getting along in the first place. I'm the one who put together the conversation with the Althauser family. The reason is simple, to keep the witch away from the royal palace"
"Claudia, your sister is not such a person."
"That's who I am, Eleonora. You do not know the end of Leopold, the competent and loyal Minister of the Left. Give the housekeeper to his son, Leodegar, and the man who left the world to flee is dead, for a real reason."
Eleonora is cramped with answers. I know the rumors that flow to the royal palace with her. It's just that half the paranoia and emotional interactions those were never credible things. A story with a tail, you don't have to believe it. Eleonora thought so.
But if it's spoken out of Airhardt's mouth, the story is different. He doesn't tell futile lies. I always have the right information. If it is in you, the accuracy increases by step. The breadth of the information network is one of the best in the royal palace, the man in the best position to scrutinize information.
"You know the rumors that flow within the royal palace, don't you? Leopold and Claudia had a 'relationship', but the couple got caught up, and his wife forced herself into a relationship with her husband. Success in heart. Both Leopold and his wife died, and the Althauser family killed themselves for fear that a clan scandal would be spreading, he said. Is that the place?
"The fact is, is it?
"Not at all. It's practically rootless."
Eleonora's face is so gorgeous. Claudia and Eleonora had a very good relationship and her sister loved her sister. My sister was so adorable about her sister that she used to hang out in a social setting.
That's why I was delighted that the bad rumors were fictional.
That 's--
"To hide the tough facts, I'm the one who flushed them."
"... Huh?
Even though Airhardt hasn't said a word that it's a good direction.
"Leopold."

"- My father was a great man. He was smart, fair, strict, but kind from time to time... and proud of his clan. It was my role model. The couple were close too. What do you mean by that? It's rare for a married aristocrat. It's like that."
Morning turmoil settled, and William and Leodeger were walking amongst the prized wheat fields of Althauser territory. No one can blame you here, no witch's eye, so we can talk. That's what Leodeger said.
"I also helped work a little bit and had a fight about Victoria, but I think I was able to build trust between my father and son. I was respected and loved."
All in the past. I guess the other side Leodegar is looking at is also a distant past. He had a different happy grin than he had when he was in the castle. It's somewhere.
"Here she comes. It was calm at first. I was resolute, but never high-flying, and I use tough words, but there were sweet words. My father, my mother and the servants at the time had deepened their trust in her. Now that I think about it, it must have been sown."
Instead of suddenly sowing the seeds of malice, we get the soil ready and enriched, and then...
"My father's relationship with my mother got a little worse. At first, I didn't know why. [M] I think my mother did the same. Nor has my father's attitude changed dramatically. However, the balance that was exquisite, little by little, was disturbing. I'll get back to normal one day. That's what I've been thinking for so long."
But I guess that never got back to normal. If you look at Leodegar's bittersweet face, you'll see. It was a look of regret, anger, hatred and giving up intruding.
"My father poisoned my mother. The man who prepared the poison was the deacon who was serving in thirty years. Both were swallowed by her unknowingly. Malice has blossomed. Further malice is contagious. The man's servant did not exchange... this castle, which was swallowed by lust, instantly turned into hell"
Maybe Claudia had a relationship with Leopold from the beginning. Hide it, carefully smudge the colored incense and drive it crazy. If you were swamped with the honey of a beautiful princess that you would know all over Laurencia, you wouldn't even have the strength to resist sooner or later.
"My father was crazy about colored incense. I was captivated by her before I knew it. The same goes for the other servants. I resisted at first, too. But some servants held me captive, and I had no choice. I can't do that. You know what I mean? I can't, tell me I can't!
Leodegar pulls William's chest barn with his crazy eyes. I see a pathetic man, as if begging for forgiveness, waiting to be rejected and cursed.
"I think it's hard. Even I..."
"It's a lie! You can resist! You don't make stupid choices like I do! I killed my father! She whispered in my ear. My father said he was trying to monopolize his concubine. This is stupid, isn't it? So you can just poke at him for what it is. But I couldn't. When I realized, my hands were bright red, and my servants were killing each other. Same thing. A lot of witch monopolies, pleading, witchcraft whispering, listening, listening, dead. Full of dead. When I saw it, I saw her, and I found out that it was' play '. I found out, and we couldn't do anything. Just wait for her to give me a' reward '. I'm still waiting. My body, I can't resist. But you can. I wonder why."
Leodegar's eyes were looking for light. Burning, burning, losing, I guess the witch ate me where I was weak. If there was a 'girlfriend' here, if that smelly smile of your day had bloomed, what would have happened to the Althauser family?
"Do you resent me"
"Ha, how does that happen? I don't know why I resent you, I don't know what qualifications I have. Wouldn't you?
Leodegar lost his light. William, prepared himself, ate the light, so he could feed it and never lose sight of the way. Leodegar was outside the mosquito nets, suddenly losing light and losing sight of the way. I'm out of guidelines on what to live for.
If 'she' had lived, Leodeger might not have been drunk if he had lived. Maybe he could have rejected the witch with fortitude, like the day he cut William off. It's all just speculation.
"Did you come back here and go to the grave?
"Yeah, I took a seven-year report and a Northern souvenir,"
"Well... I'm sure 'she' would have made a very beautiful smile. I'm blink, warm, and I want to see you again. If they touched me at all, I... woohoo, but I don't have any more hands to reach out to. Hey, it's getting too dirty."
William leaves Leodegar with a thirsty grin on his side. Sure, Leodegar's hands could have gotten dirty. But I'm not that ratio, and I'm scattering light with this hand. I'm the one who doesn't have a hand to reach out.
"She's getting tired of us. I got tired of a boxyard called Altvais Castle. Your visit would have assured me. [M] She will come and drop you with all her might. She doesn't let the subject of interest get away. Be careful. Though I think you'll be fine."
"... at your disposal. And then I'll take care of it."
"Right. Then I'll leave it to you."
Leodegar smiled with a smile. I'm sure he understands what lies ahead. A smile, as if the shoulder load had come down, alluded to it.

"- Your sister, no, no, no!
"It's a fact. I've taken my word from that woman too. I just can't even put this scandal, on the table, for the royal family. That's why I put out the fire earlier with a somewhat better lie. The chronology was a little shaky, but no one cares about that. The result was the same, the couple died together, and only their son remained. That's all."
In what is so terrible, Eleonora has no words to utter.
"Hehe, really, you stay pretty no matter where you go,"
Airhardt had to laugh at the way it looked. Being clean and clean, a virtue as a person. I just have to laugh because that is only negative for us who are royalty. Eleonora can't go up there as long as this is there. I guess I'm not even willing to go.
Then surely she will be truncated in the near future.
"This is my brother's advice. I thought I'd never do it again when I was teething, but I felt like it, so I'm gonna tell you one thing."
Airhardt suddenly starts talking in disregard of his sister's murder. Eleonora wasn't following the fallout as if. Airhardt doesn't want us to follow him on this occasion either. I just want you to keep it. The flesh parents will do what they want, let's give them the possibility.
"If you want a white knight, get dirty. Push Claudia away, kill her in some cases, but get that poison. All right? Just as that man hides the fierce poison, so does everything that puts himself on the battlefield, not just in the military, but in politics, including this me. Not having poison means not being able to fight. I am not a man who gives places to those who cannot fight. There won't be a single incompetence in the world that that makes it, in its centre. Claudia, who knows very little, is closer to the White Knight than you are now. How you take this, it's free. Do as you please."
"Wow, I can't believe I want it. And he has a wife."
Airhardt had a distorted grin.
"That depends on his purpose. If, if, he is going for the crown, he is powerless in the present company. You won't be able to reach it forever. The throne needs blood. I need justice. I need strength. Now he can prepare the latter two, but not just the blood, right?
Eleonora swallows the sauce. Eleonora still didn't know what to shake with her own body. I haven't been able to recognize the name of that swing yet.
"The shortcut to getting blood is eating either of you two. The only thing standing in the way of that is our current companionship. You can bet, he should dispose of his current companionship. I don't need the Taylor family anymore. Come on, what do you do when you do? Eleonora von Arcadia"
Emotions springing up. I was giving up, something I was suppressing floods out.

Returning to Altvais Castle, Claudia stood above the central staircase. That's all Leodegar wandered around as if he'd been barometric. However, her husband, Leodegar, had not even looked at her, whether tentatively for the first time, and her gaze had been directed downstairs towards a man who slowly channelled his own gaze.
"William, join us this evening."
This is provocation. Something to wear the size of a vessel.
"Happy. Oh, yesterday's aperitif, that was delicious. I'm counting on you tonight."
Claudia trembles.
"Kuku, fully expect it. My concubine has never betrayed a man's expectations."
Yesterday's was only a try. I wouldn't imitate how I would suddenly break a toy with a child. It's okay to put so much stress on it. That's what I think. I'll try it first and lift the load a little bit from there. She couldn't help but be excited about what kind of load to raise.
William also works out a plan in his head about how to make the witch twitch.
