What surprised me about the sudden king's engagement was that Farsas was the same, not just Trudar.

Just compared to Trudar, half of the reactions in Falsus Castle are a convincing mix of "Oh, I knew it". They knew by sight that the king and Tinasha were close, so they were surprised, but not so surprised.

Lazar in particular was quite relieved of the load of shoulders he had been wearing. He was fond of Tinasha as his husband's opponent, but at the same time expressed the most opposition to the subtlety of the two positions. Now that the engagement has been decided, we do not have to do it, and it has become much easier mentally.

When Lazar gave the paperwork to the master, he then brewed the tea.

Oscar gets a subtle look when he receives the cup and takes a sip.

"Your tea tastes good, too."

"If you're married, please do it fully."

"I wonder if he'll make tea for me."

"I think you'll be a good wife."

My husband, who usually doesn't call her an explosive ball, drifts his gaze into the sky with his cheek cane.

Lazar remarked what he had doubted as he saw such a thing.

"Speaking of which, has it been made public that Master Tinasha is a second reign?

"I don't think he said anything in particular. Some people may be suspicious because they have the same name, but you won't think they're the same person first."

"Well, you must be..."

Tinasha was originally a famous queen in history.

But it was also more than four hundred years ago. Few people will be able to reach the truth on their own.

The two went back to talking about work when they broke up the chat there. When opposed to Druza's curse, we will be talking about the state of reconstruction of Fort Inulade, which we have lost.

"Eighty percent of them are getting done. It seems the artisans and magicians are packing up quite a bit of roots."

"We'll have to reward you enough when it's done. If we don't get him back soon, Cesar's suspicious."

Located north of the border, Inulade had a strong connotation of fortifications against the former Druza and César countries. After that collision, Druza split but César remained a spy on the hostile posture.

Oscar remembered what Tinasha had heard.

"I hear César has an evil god."

"What is it..."

"Neither do I."

Oscar gently returns to Lazar, who doesn't seem to like his heart.

It's like a joke, but will the time come to relate sooner or later?

Twisting his neck into a situation he could not imagine, Oscar went back to his clerkship when he cut up a story that he didn't know who he was.

The next morning Till left the house early. My mother scolded me so badly last night that I hurried out before she could say anything.

I was thinking a lot and didn't sleep well, but I feel better. Remembering what a beautiful queen I met yesterday and what she told me, Till loosened her cheeks. Running into an old tree building. My friends circled their eyes on Till's arrival much earlier than usual.

"Morning, what's wrong?

A short haired girl asks. Till raised his hand to her and answered.

"Good morning, Yua. Seneto, too."

"Ooh."

A friend looks back to say hello. Till pulled the chair in his seat and sat down.

Their place is the only private school in this town. Some schools are decent if you get to the neighboring town about an hour's walk, but many children can't get that far because of help with the house, etc. For such children, a teacher from the castle capital is on assignment to open a school. As a formality, it is a private school, but it is also subsidized by the state and may be said to be a small school.

When he put the bag down, Till spread his hands toward two friends.

"Something amazing happened yesterday!

"What, that's amazing?"

"That's the one, the one from the castle."

"Oh......"

"Yes, but not!

I met His Majesty! And Till shut his mouth.

I remember being stopped by Tinasha himself. That's why I didn't even tell my mother. This is a promise between herself and her.

Youre and Seneto look suspiciously at Till, who swallowed the words. Till rushed to say something else.

"Oh, yeah! So I talked to someone from the investigation team. You know the stench of death."

"Stinky?

"That means if you look at it, you'll know who did it!

"Uh, really?

"You're talking funny, Till"

To the adult voice called from behind, the three nearly jumped up. Looking back in horror, there's a thin-eyed man looking down at Till with an ironic laugh.

"The, Dr. Zain......"

"You shouldn't go too far because it would be a nuisance to investigate. It's more dangerous than that, so you shouldn't go outside. I'll be in class by lunch today."

Zayn stood on the stage sewing between his desks as he gently tapped Till's head with the textbook he had. This teacher, who has been taking turns with the previous teacher since the previous month, is so lacking in facial expressions and has no grasp.

I whispered to Till, who looked bitter, with the neighbor Yur giggling.

"Oh, I'm pissed off"

"Shut up. Just till noon. Let's go out when we're done."

"Where are you going out?

"Of course it's in The House of the Night."

To Till's answer, Yua holds her mouth with both hands. In the opposite neighborhood, Seneto dropped the book he had on the floor.

Zain sends a gaze at the sound to the three of them. The children shrugged their necks in the back row seats. Zayn surprised to watch the three problem children for a while, but starts the class with nothing to say.

I would have been more closely questioned if this had been the previous teacher. These three are famous for not doing a lot of things from time to time. Even so, the fact was that Till's curiosity and the ironless cannon were the cause of it, a threesome of senatoes who would not stop him and Yua who would eat the convolutions.

As the textbook was read out by Zain, Till waited silently for lunch when the school ended, whilst slightly hiding a laugh in the book, against an unpleasant Youre and a faceless Senate.

By that time, the investigation team was scattered all over town.

Pamira, who overlaps listening, cannot be discouraged from sighing at the lack of eye-catching information. But if that's about it, the town guards would have been able to pinpoint the killer.

The investigation from the castle came a long way.

- I mean, what are you doing collecting blood, and even processing it.

She looks up to heaven with several sighs. I remembered a coworker girl whose childhood remained.

Will she be doing well with the Spirit? Sometimes it would be a good experience to get ahold of someone like that.

Tightening his expression, which seemed to make him laugh unexpectedly, Pamira knocked on the door of the next house.

Ayle and Tris were walking together in the rising town of the sun.

Unlike yesterday, the city is popular. But all the wrong people look at them. I've got such an ugly look on my face. You can't hide your guard in the face of a stranger you don't normally see, even if you know he's coming from a castle.

The Spirit does, but he keeps walking even without any interest in such a reaction. The girl looked up at the side of a man with an unclear expression.

You say something.

"What. Nothing to say."

"I don't like it!

"I don't know. Is that so? If you want to ask me something, why don't you ask me?

In an inconvenient reply, Tris roars and thinks. I thought of it and looked up.

"Hey, what's your Majesty like?

"Get out of the way... I think I'll keep watching. Yeah, that's the guy. Well, as far as I can tell, he's probably the strongest king in history."

"Really!?

"Yeah. He's the only one who used us all, except for the first generation."

Tris turns a blind eye to more answers than he can imagine. I sighed with admiration. But I frowned.

"Shh, there's another one! Of witchkiller......"

"So that guy. It's a real name."

"... Huh?

"I used magic sleep. It's not hard or anything for someone like that."

Tris was stunned by what he was told in unspoken language.

I did realize that my name was the same as the Queen of the past. Still, I never doubted it. Unmatched, except for one example, where a person lives hundreds of years. And one example of this is called a witch.

"Hey, why are you doing that?

"For a man. I've been in love for a long time."

When Ayle cut the story off there, he shook his head as if he didn't understand.

After that, Tris follows with a grudge.

"Hey hey! Tell me more!

"Why don't you ask him in person?

The two walk in blossoming chat.

The people of the town were dropping that back away as if to see something different.

When the school was over, the three children ran out together and came all the way north of town. Stop in the shadows in the alley so that adults can't blame you.

Youre asked Till with a pale face.

"Hey, you sure you want to go?

"Warm up! You'll be fine during the day."

The place they are about to go is a famous building among children, commonly known as the "House of the Night". It's an old house on the outskirts of the north, inhabited by one man, but said he was a creepy man and rarely went outside and had never seen anybody laugh again. I always had a thin, dirty appearance, and it was customary for the kids to keep an eye out for each other when they met on the road.

And the house of the night, as its name suggests, is spreading rumors of hearing screams every now and then at night. That rumor, which spreads only among the children, was often told as if it were true and scared, although no one had actually heard it.

"Absolutely suspicious of him! I've always wondered."

"Then you can tell the castle people"

"You can't do this without proper proof!

From the time I heard of the investigation team coming from the castle, Till had one ambition.

Reveal the culprit of a series of deaths with his own hands. And it's a childish little ambition to get a reward from the castle.

Grown-ups and guards in town don't listen to kids. But Castle people are different. Bring in the evidence and you'll move.

It doesn't mean what you want. I just thought my mother's birthday was coming up, and it would be a stepping stone to the future. More than anything else, I wanted to accomplish something that my mother would be proud of. This was an excellent opportunity to do so.

"It's okay. If anything happens, you just have to run away."

"What would you do if there was that man?

"I'll see you first."

Till told the two of them, he moved from the shadow of the building to the shadow. Turn to the back of the house at night. Overcoming the low fence and leaning against the wall of the house, he moved under the window as he stuck to the wall. Till peeks softly into the window, feeling his palpitations quicken by fear and exaltation.

The house, visible from the gaps in the curtains, is dim and even looks dusty on the floor.

There is no appearance of man. No one is suspicious.

Till walked away from that window. I peek inside as I go under the next window.

That's how Till looked inside through the third window and felt his heart jump.

A man is sleeping on the sleeping table.

Till confirmed that his eyes, lying on his back, were tightly closed. Hurry back to the two of you.

"Sleeping! It's the only time! Let's go."

"Yeah? I don't like it..."

"Let's go. Seneto's coming."

"Nothing."

"Then you wait here."

Leaving a girl on the spot who was about to cry, the two boys rushed out to the house at night. The girl who was left looks around meticulously.

"Wait a minute. I'm going too..."

Yua rushed after the two of them.

The three children turn to the back door of the house. Till had been moving the knob for a while, but the door slowly opened inside to see if the key was originally loose. Peeping through the gap, a dim, narrow hallway stretches back. The three sipped and the leading Till stepped out nervously.

When weighed on, the floorboards snarl like ringing. The boy shook his body terribly at the sound he had made himself, but there was no sign that the Lord of the house would wake up. Till cautiously advanced his legs as he breathed quietly. Signal the two behind you with a gesture.

The number of rooms in a two-story house is never high.

They looked around at all the rooms on the ground floor except the room where the man was sleeping so as not to make any noise.

But there is no such thing as evidence. There's just a misery spreading in each room that I don't think has been cleaned in years.

Till slowly moved upstairs through the sounding stairs. Two follow behind it.

In the dusty hallway, I could see the man's and the footprints. Its footprints go back and forth to the room and stairs to the west, where only there is little dust. Conversely, the route to the other rooms remains dusty.

Till showed the room on the west side and nodded slowly. Behind it, Seneto opens his mouth to something. But in the end he swallowed the word.

The door wasn't locked. The three go into fear.

The moment I went in, I smelled something different like rotten air. Till accidentally covers his nose with his hands.

But despite the smell, the interior looked clean and tidy, unlike other rooms. The shelves of the walls are lined with mysterious bottles, and in the center of the room is placed a platform similar to the altar. Till approached that platform just as people were going to be able to lie down.

The surface made of grey stone has a black stain by the way.

"... this, blood?

Till stared at the stain as he held down his heart, which struck an early bell at the tension. But he accidentally pulls his clothes from behind, and he's about to jump up unexpectedly.

It was Youre who pulled his clothes with tears. The other hand of the girl is pointing to a point on the wall.

Following the tip of her finger, Till was stunned.

There are intricate magical prints on the walls. The elaborate compositional diagrams were, however, repeatedly mirrored by interrupted red and black lines. Feeling a relaxing obsession there, Till goes to war.

"Ko, this..."

"Till, let's go home..."

Yua pulls her clothes hard. Till managed to nod.

The three excite their stretched bodies and leave the room the same way they did when they came in.

Cold sweat dampens your back. My thirst is crunchy and my body doesn't move well. The three men, who managed to descend the stairs, moved their feet, which they were about to pull, towards the back door.

Only a dozen steps are terribly far away.

Be aware of that only so that you don't make a sound. It will reach the back door in a few moments.

Till reached out to tremble.

That's when I heard a loud noise behind my back.

Looking back, Yur crawling on the floor is opening his eyes to fear. I fell on the floorboard. I just heard a yell from the back room.

"Is anybody here!

The three of them become stiff.

But Till, who took off the gold bondage as soon as possible, hurried to take Yua's hand.

"Run!"

The three of them rushed out to signal the voice. Knock through the back door and jump over the fence. I held my breath and ran even without looking behind me. When they come straight to the center of town, the three finally stop on their feet.

"So, are you okay?

"Looks like..."

I looked back, but no one's following me. They breathed relief.

Till rises upright, approaching Yua and Seneto.

"Both of you, go home. I'll tell the castle people."

Yua rounded her eyes to the boy's words. Leaks hesitant voice from under rough breath.

"But..."

"I'll tell you about the two of you. But he could be ambushing us. You two go home because you're in danger."

"Til......"

"I'm coming."

Till ran out as he turned his back on the two of them.

Seneto, who has been silent on its back, screams.

"Wait, Till!

But Till doesn't look back. The little figure quickly becomes invisible.

To a friend who had gone, Seneto glanced at the end of the road.

Soon the sun is going down.

The evening was just around the corner.

For the day investigation report and the evening sharing meeting, the investigation team, once assembled at the mayor's mansion, stared in dismay at the boy who had rushed in out of breath. I recognize that face. Tris jumps up his brow.

"What are you. What's the matter with you?

"Ha... the killer... got it."

Everyone except Ayle is breathtaking. Pamira stood up without making a sound.

"Really?"

"In the north... the house at night is a mansion... with a bloody tattoo on the wall..."

Pamira frowns at the boy's words.

I can't just say no to the killer right away. But it is definitely a powerful piece of information.

"Does anyone live in that house?

"There's one creepy man living here."

"Will you show me around?

"Yeah!"

Till strained his chest. Well, I remember right away.

"Oh, I'm not the only one. Go with two friends..."

"What's wrong with my friend?

"I asked you to go home because it's dangerous"

"Yes, you're brave."

Pamira smiled softly. Look at that smile. Till relieves the tension all the time.

But I can't get out of my mind completely. It's not over yet.

The boy went out again to show us together that he would soon become a serious face.

Leaving one martial officer and a magician at the mayor's mansion, a line that came to the front of the house at night looked up at the mansion, which shed a dark shadow in the setting. It doesn't look old, but it's a house with a rough atmosphere.

Pamira sees Ayle standing next to her.

"Is there something wrong?

"I guess I'm starving a little. Not sure enough."

"Then why don't you come in"

Pamira looks back as she steps out. As she glanced at Till, she grinned.

"Thank you. It's sundown, so you should go home."

"But..."

"Fine. I'll tell His Majesty properly. It's dangerous, isn't it?

"... yeah"

Till nods to bite. That's all I can do. And I strongly hope that this will be the thread for a resolution.

Pamira stroked the boy's head, who honestly accepted. Order the martial officer to send the boy.

As the two walked away, Tris couldn't hide his finesse and muttered.

"Are we all right alone?

"Who do you think is following me?"

Pamira showed Ayle with a bitter smile. One of Trudar's spirits shrugs his shoulders without expression.

It is now time for all twelve spirits to emerge, but they were originally only one to three in one king. Its power is immense, and ordinary human magicians don't deal with it first. So much so that some of the superior demons were formerly worshipped as gods in the provinces. You can tell me you have no more comforting allies.

With the silent Tris on his back, Pamira and Ayle walk out toward the house at night. Tris followed him for a small run in a hurry afterwards.

Pamira knocks on the front door.

"Is anybody there?

I waited awhile but haven't heard back. Pamira put her hand on the knob.

It's locked.

Pamira confirmed it and chanted it small. The key detaches along with the light metal sound.

It is an act that is inherently to blame, but some punishment is ready. She turned the knob as she put out her tongue. Slowly pushing the door back, the dusty air poured out.

"Is anyone there? I'll be in."

I rang him again but he didn't respond.

Pamira nodded behind her and showed her, she stepped inside the house.

"You said upstairs."

As soon as you see it, there is a staircase on your right. Pamira produced a magical light over her hands. Start climbing the stairs lighting up the dark house. Two followed behind it.

The floorboards rang every step forward in the house that seemed to mistake it for an abandoned house.

As she climbs about half the stairs, Pamira looks back with her hands resting on her shoulders from behind. A neat looking young man showed the upper floor with his eyes.

"I'll go first. Smells like blood."

That's what Ayle says and slips past Pamira's side.

She followed him in silence. The Spirit ascends the dark stairs without any hesitation. It doesn't look like you're being careful, but it doesn't sound strange and footsteps. When he arrived upstairs, Ayle turned to the west room without hesitation.

- - The light is leaking out of the gap in the door.

Tris breathed in the view.

But regardless of the girl's fears, the spirit walks out.

The two women sipped and watched as their hands pushed open the door.

Till, who was sent to the martial officer to go his way home, looked up at the moon floating in the sky and sighed.

I couldn't get home in time for the sun to go down today. Sasakaya's mother would be angry, too.

But I can fix it right away. That's what Till believed.

I want to see my mother's surprised face, and a smile. I want to be happy. I'm ashamed to say it, but such thoughts make him stronger. A beautiful queen appeared behind the brain of a boy who laughed naturally and damn.

- - Will I see her today?

If that queen doesn't deny his efforts because she's a child, she feels like buying them. I want to hear more about it and know the new world.

Till swelled his chest to a succession of hopes.

At that time, something white moves in the corner of vision, in the shadow of the building. When I saw it, Yua was waving at Till as she hid in the shadows. Till smiles back at himself like a troubled smile.

The boy looks up at the martial officer next door, but it seems the man hasn't noticed Yua. Till pulled the samurai's sleeve.

"My house, it's already here. Thanks."

"Don't you have to drive me to the door?

"It's okay. You can go to your sisters instead."

"Okay. Be careful."

When the man sneezes Till's head, he turns back the way he came, lovingly waving. Dropping off that back for a while, Till ran into an alley with Youre.

"What's going on? Didn't you go home?

"I've been waiting for Till! Was it okay?

"I'm fine. You've made me worry."

"Yeah, that's not true"

Youre pulled Till's hand when he hung on. Keep splitting into alleys.

The moon was blending the two shadows white into the night.

Pamira glanced at the smell drifting through the open door.

Smells like rotten blood. This could really be a hit.

Ayle walks into the room.

The next moment, a flash ran indoors. To the strong light, Pamira and Tris close their eyes.

But Ayle flushed it flat.

The flash that was supposed to pierce him hits the junction and mists. The man lurking in the room stunned his face.

"Oh, what are you!

"You're out of town."

Saying it beforehand, Ayle looked at the man obliquely.

A beard stretched out into a thin dirty outfit. Only my eyes are gleaming.

"You've killed people before."

"Shut up!"

The man gives birth to a new configuration on his right hand side.

But it was smashed before it appeared. At the same time, the right hand is lifted by an invisible force. With the sound of a broken bone, a scream sounded.

To the scream of a man with a bad chest, Tris accidentally holds both ears by his hand.

Meanwhile, as Pamira stood next to Ayle, she stared at the print written on the wall. Look through every corner of it. My lips trembled at the chills running through my spine.

"This... what composition...? This..."

"That's a magic summons. Is it a curse ban for humans?

Ayle answered naturally as he tightened up the man without moving a finger. On the floor, a man swoops around in pain. As Pamira walked over to the tattoo, she crawled her fingers to the line. The configuration has been overwritten with blood many times.

It would take a good amount of blood to draw an elaborate pattern this size. Looking around the room, a pottery jar with a black stain is placed on the floor. Peeping in, it was black inside, and I smelled nauseous.

"Okay, let me throw up?

"Well..."

Gently nodding at Pamira's reply, Ayle began to magically press the man's left hand.

A man opens his eyes to fear.

Ayle asked, looking back at those eyes with emotional black eyes.

"So, who's the accomplice?

Words of casual interrogation.

But to the meaning of the word, Pamira and Tris stared back at Ayle with dismay.

Till opened his mouth like trouble as he was walking in the alley with his hands drawn to Youre.

"Yua, your mother will kill you. We have to go back."

"But Seneto's waiting."

"Seneto?

"Yeah. Soon there"

That said, she turned the corner. It's a trail ahead.

In the middle of the alley, where only the moon illuminates, Till tilted his neck when he saw Seneto sitting down beneath the ground.

"Seneto, what is it?"

But I don't hear back from my friend. Instead Yur, who was behind me, opened his mouth.

"Senato noticed."

"Have you noticed? To what?"

"It's true that the footprints that were on the second floor of the house at night weren't just men's. I mean... I noticed there was a child's footprint."

The girl's voice changes.

To a glossy voice that seems ridiculous and irresistible, but that is laughing.

Till, having heard it, froze with instinctive fear, before understanding it with his head.

I have to look back. But I'm afraid to look back.

A white hand is placed over his shoulder.

The girl's hand gently stroked Till's cheek from behind.

"We were two more, and I can't believe there's someone coming who can smell the stench of death. But I'm glad Till and Seneto are here."

"Hey, why...?

Seneto's body shakes slowly in a rigid vision.

The skinny boy's body fell on his back. The light of the moon illuminates its entire body. Empty eyes reflected light.

It was clear from Till that there was no more life in that body.

"Se, seneto......"

If you don't run, somewhere in your head you scream, but your body doesn't move.

- Senato and Youre are both dear friends.

That's for sure. There's no doubt about it.

But that's when Till realized she was scared.

He knows neither Yua's house nor his family. I can't remember anything about when we met or how long we've been together.

But sometime, she was nearby.

A hand stroking his cheek slowly crawls through his neck.

"I'm alone. Till...... thanks"

A gentle voice.

A voice you should know well. But I don't know. Someone's voice.

- - I don't know what that means.

Fear took shape late. Till opens his mouth to scream.

But at that time, there was severe pain in the neck muscle.

"Thanks......"

In the consciousness of falling listening to the girl's voice, the boy was remembering the face of his mother, who laughed in a frantic manner.

"Hey, you have an accomplice!?

When he frowned at Tris, who raised his bare voice, the man of the Spirit answered naturally.

"Because this man's magic is dust. If you used that configuration, you'd have more magic."

Pamira breathes unexpectedly. Sure it is. But I didn't even think about it until you told me.

She opens her mouth wondering what she should be doing now. But at that time, a strain was created in the room. - - The next moment, the queen moves onto the spot.

Tinasha, who suddenly appeared, looked around the room and found the wall tattoo before greeting him to change shape. The apparent anger that seldom shows dyes her beauty. I caught a man with dark eyes rolling on the floor.

"Is that your plan?

Icey voice.

Tris shuddered at the illusion that the temperature in the room had dropped all at once.

Did you feel the anger of an unusual woman, when a man trembles his strong mouth two or three times, he utters words.

"Chi, no... that woman..."

"Woman?"

She takes a step to ask questions.

But Tinasha accidentally missed her gaze at the man. Watch out the window. The spirits next door similarly looked out.

In the night, enormous magic explodes.

To that force, which appeared without sound or light, Tinasha shifted from the spot and disappeared when she tongued violently.
