Why would Cleon tell me where Lucy is?

I have nothing to gain from doing that to Cleon.

If there is, it means putting me in a trap.

Claire said.

Father Gapon, and Cleon, said they were going to execute Lucy and me together.

Me and Cleon used to be friends.

I don't know if Cleon really wants to do that much.

But now Cleon cut the sage Arte off fine, as a sacrifice for the resurrection of the Demon King.

Dead fellow girl, to resurrect Shea, would do anything fine.

Cleon in front of me, but he didn't even let that happen every time, he stared at me in a flamboyant manner

"Solon is sure to head to Dr. Lucy's rescue. But you have no idea where you're incarcerated."

"It doesn't mean it won't work at all."

It was Ensign Claire of the Army who captured Lucy. And Claire is a man of the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency. Father Gapon, who warned me to give up my recapture of Lucy, is also operating around the Empire City.

If so, it would be more likely to be imprisoned in an Imperial capital facility than to have been taken away somewhere far away.

There are several military facilities in the Imperial City.

Cadet School, Claire and Notaras' alma mater. This is in the eastern district of Imperial Capital.

The headquarters of the Imperial Army District is also an important facility for the military. Command in charge of the imperial defense.

Or the Central Wartime Industry Commission. Something like that. The military and civilian merchants promised and formed cooperation in the Great Republic War, with headquarters among the great banks of the Imperial capital.

In addition, the army had a variety of facilities, such as the Monument Survey Hall, which is the headquarters of Division I of the Imperial Army Site Survey Department.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that he is under house arrest outside of military facilities. For example, Imperial Central Prison, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice.

In this case, it is the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency.

There is a prison on the top floor here to house political prisoners.

I just don't have any definitive information on where Lucy is.

We need to know Lucy's whereabouts beforehand because we can't do a dangerous imitation of running an undercover operation without knowing if she's there or not.

That's why I don't trust Cleon when he tells me that.

"If you go help Dr. Lucy in the first place with your exercise of strength, I'll be caught guilty of national treason. There's no way I can do that."

"Then what? Forsake Dr. Lucy."

"All you have to do is prove that Dr. Lucy is innocent. That'll get the teacher released, right?

I gave it a shot.

In fact, Lucy was part of the plan for the Free Alliance, and evidence would be held back.

So it's impossible to prove innocence, which means it's hard to rescue Lucy from behind the peace.

Cleon knew that, too, and let me shake his head beside him.

"The only option you have is to save your mentor's life."

"I can't do anything horrible to rebel against the Empire, but suppose I try to take Dr. Lucy back from the barn. And then what about Cleon?

"What do you think we're gonna do?

Cleon questioned me in a low voice.

Of course, the answer is fixed.

Cleon will capture me as a sinner.

The activities of the Knights of Salvation, the resurrection of the Demon King, and the resurrection of Shea. I could be an obstacle to any of Cleon's purposes, so Cleon has good reason to try to get rid of me.

"The Underground Second Floor of the Imperial Ministry of the Army and Navy"

Cleon quietly told her where Lucy was.

The Department of the Army and Navy is the body that heads the Imperial Army's military junta and is the center of the army. Here is the headquarters of the Knights of Salvation led by Cleon.

It's a huge building just southwest of the Imperial Palace.

But did Claire really imprison Lucy there?

"Do you think I trust what Cleon says?

"I'm not lying. But you can't afford to say that."

"What does that mean?

"Dr. Lucy will be abandoned if he stays like this. It means you can't use magic, you can't talk, you can't live properly."

"... Are you even torturing me"

I held back from getting overwhelmed.

If you lose your cool, Cleon will take the lead on the field.

"So far, no harm has been done to Dr. Lucy. But it's only a matter of time. Dr. Lucy will be sacrificed for the resurrection of the Demon King."

"I wonder if sacrifice is still necessary for the resurrection of the Demon King at the expense of Arte, Flora and the descendants of many Demon Kings"

"The Demon King has become a dwarf in a bottle. To regain that power is the flesh of a sorcerer with powerful magic powers and sorcery circuits. Dr. Lucy is supposed to be the king of demons."

"Then Dr. Lucy's body will be ruled by the Demon King."

"Exactly."

"Claire... it's not your plan, is it?

"Oh, Claire would have been captured with Dr. Lucy by now."

"Why?"

"Because I disagreed with making Dr. Lucy a demon king. considered a traitor by Father Gapon, the promoter of the plan"

I lost my word.

Claire seemed to disagree with Lucy, but still promised me that she would make sure that no harm was done to Lucy.

That's out the back, and even Claire is in danger.

And for Father Gapon, Lucy was still an important and troublesome man to be recaptured.

"Claire seemed to hide a lot, but she doesn't throw up anything when she's tortured, so it's a fine thing. Even if you're a demonic missing person, that's something like a member of my Duke's house."

"Is Claire being tortured?

"Yes. Unlike Dr. Lucy, who will reign as the Demon King, Claire has no value."

"Claire... I shouldn't say she's not worth it, even though she's Cleon's sister"

I'm not the one who's torturing you.

"Because if my sister is being tortured, she shouldn't be able to look so fine"

"Compared to resurrecting Shea, it's trivial. And I don't care about Claire."

"Because you're a missing person with no magic?

"No. That doesn't matter. What I don't like is that Claire always admires Solon. Claire was and still is on Solon's side. I mean, you're more important than me, my brother. I don't have to worry about Claire."

I lost my word.

I didn't know my friend thought that much about my friend's sister.

"It's not just Claire. Sophia chose Solon over me, too. But Shea's not. Shea told me that I was the only one who mattered. Yes, Shea is for me..."

Cleon cut the word he was about to say, and shut up for a while.

And he stared straight at me.

"If it's important about Dr. Lucy, you should come to the Department of the Army and Navy. The plan to turn Dr. Lucy into King of Demons will be implemented in three days" time.

This is a trap.

I don't even know if what Cleon says is true.

But it's probably true that Lucy is in a state of absolute desperation and is looking for my help.

Cleon pulled out the holy sword and flashed it.

In an instant, the magician, Len, will be destroyed.

"Solon. Choose a path you won't regret. You have to make a terrible sacrifice to get back what you lost."

"Just like bringing Shea back to life,"

"So I'm sure you'll go help Dr. Lucy"

When Cleon said that as he declared, he turned his back on me.

Then he took Ren out of the mansion gate and disappeared to blend into the darkness.
