Chapter 49:

Late into the next night time, Phillip acquired an sudden go to from Stella, the chief of the Shadow Cat tribe. She slipped into his bed room unnoticed, and gracefully knelt earlier than him.

“Whereas investigating the Depend Eloy household as you requested, we’ve made important progress.”

“Already?” Phillip’s shock was evident. Reaching outcomes so rapidly both indicated the Eloy household’s lack of vigilance or the extraordinary capabilities of the Shadow Cat Tribe.

“We had been lucky. One of many informants held captive by Crescent revealed the identification of a former servant within the Eloy family. He was recognized to have been an murderer a number of years in the past. We promptly pursued him, and that’s how we got here throughout the data you sought.”

Stella was clad in a form-fitting leather-based outfit. By the opening in her garments, she extracted a hidden piece of paper, momentarily revealing extra of her physique. Nonetheless, Phillip remained composed.

“Right here it’s.”Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled by means of Ñôv€l–B1n.

As she handed him the doc, her eyes narrowed barely.

‘How is it that your composure stays unfazed?’

Although Phillip was a younger man recognized for his self-discipline, it was solely pure for any man to note a girl’s physique. But, he confirmed no response, not even a flicker in his eyes.

‘Does his psychological energy transcend creativeness? No, that may’t be it…’

After rigorously reviewing the doc, Phillip requested in astonishment, “… Critically, how did you handle to acquire this?”

The contents of the doc had been stunning. It bore the seal of Depend Eloy and was an assassination request made to Crescent.

As Phillip learn the title of the goal, he touched his brow and set free a deep sigh.

“Altaire Eloy… That is the Depend’s spouse’s title.”

“That servant appears to have discovered his personal path after Crescent’s disbandment. Given his background as an ex-assassin, we anticipated he’d be discarded rapidly. Nonetheless, it led us to one thing beneficial.”

“Greater than beneficial. Whereas it might not be sufficient to deliver down Depend Eloy by itself, it holds the potential to be a devastating set off.”

Phillip marveled on the audacity of the plan to assassinate the spouse who had royal blood flowing by means of her veins.

“Why would anybody put their religion in such absurdity? What number of implausible feats is he making an attempt to attain?”

It was a perplexing transfer that defied widespread sense.

From the very starting, the hyperlink with the princess had not adopted a traditional path. Amidst all of it, if the princess had been to satisfy her demise, the king would by no means tolerate it.

They’d even be decided to precise revenge on Depend Eloy, even when it meant quickly withdrawing from their confrontation with the demonic forces within the north. In the event that they weren’t coping with demons, this may have occurred a lot earlier.

‘Why would he search to marry the princess, safe the place of the Western Depend, and topic me to stress, all whereas making an attempt to assassinate their very own spouse?’

There was nothing substantial to be gained by needlessly scary Phillip. Utilizing Bleuhan’s damaged leg as a pretext to declare warfare formally towards the Oswald household held little weight.

‘… It’s fascinating. I usually really feel so burdened that I want to die, but after I see how nicely I’ve managed to outlive till now, I can’t assist however marvel concerning the extent of my luck.’

‘That’s true.’

Neria mumbled. As Phillip silently responded in his thoughts, he was struck by a peculiar thought.

“… What if every thing I’ve carried out up to now was to not obtain success, however somewhat to incite chaos?”

“… What do you imply?”

Stella checked out Phillip with curiosity, having overheard his murmurings.

‘I have to meet the Countess as quickly as potential.’

Phillip made up his thoughts.

Philip’s tender and mild voice had a genuinely charming impact. Altaire Eloy nodded with nice satisfaction.

“You’ve charmed the younger girls along with your manner of talking. If I weren’t already married, I may need fallen for you too. So, you mentioned you needed to satisfy me. What are you interested by?”

After taking a deep breath, Philip opened his mouth with a deeply tense expression.

“… Why do you spare the lifetime of Depend Eloy?”

“What are you saying, Philip?”

Felicia was shocked by that query. She glared at Philip as if she might kill him, however noticing Altaire’s nonchalant response, she widened her eyes in shock.

Altaire Eloy checked out Philip with an fascinating gaze. Philip felt stress from her stare and gulped nervously.

“You’re stronger than our Senior Professor. Does that make any sense?”

The energy he felt from her was at the least past that of Emil Phanoy.

“I assumed our fairly woman could be the primary to determine it out. You had been already sensing it, weren’t you?”

“At first, I assumed it was the presence of the escort standing subsequent to you, nevertheless it didn’t really feel proper. Now that I’m dealing with you immediately, I’m positive. Is Countess an Aura Grasp?”

“Earlier than I reply your query, can I ask you one first?”

“After all, please do.”

Altaire Eloy raised her elegant eyebrow and inquired with delicate lip actions, “Are you, by any likelihood, affiliated with the Sword Saint Guild?’

“No, I’m not. I’ve no want to affix such a bunch of lunatics.”

Philip promptly responded, seemingly pleasing Altaire Eloy.

The expression on Altaire’s face softened as she coated her mouth and chuckled.

“You actually intrigue me. Sure, you requested if I’m an Aura Grasp, appropriate? Certainly, it has been over a decade since I attained that degree. As for why I spared Depend Eloy’s life, it’s somewhat simple. He should not be allowed to die.”

Felicia struggled to comply with the dialog between Philip and Altaire.

“… I’ll excuse myself for a second.”

Altaire gently restrained her, saying, “No want, my expensive. Your brother is actually outstanding. I assumed I hid it nicely for twenty years… It’s not like he realized it as a result of I leaked my aura; he should have mentioned he needed to satisfy me as a result of there was one thing suspicious.”

“Depend Eloy’s actions had been far too peculiar. It appeared as if he was forcing issues. So, I shadowed him discreetly, and that is what I found.”

Philip handed Altaire Eloy a request kind bearing his title. After studying it, Altaire Eloy smirked.

“You managed to seek out one thing like this.”

“As quickly as I noticed it, I had a sense. I believed that if the Countess was harmed, Your Majesty wouldn’t overlook it this time. There’s no manner Depend didn’t make my guess. Even so, requesting the assassination was a transfer that was too reckless.”

After a short pause, Philip continued, “Now, even the method of turning into the Depend looks like a reckless gamble, with little regard for the longer term. Doubts started to floor. Maybe Depend Eloy’s aim was somewhat a failure I assumed. It match nicely after I thought of it, and the one one who might hinder it was the Countess.”

Altaire Eloy’s eyes widened in shock as she praised, “You might be an exceptionally proficient particular person.”

“… Fact be advised, till I sensed the Countess’s aura, it was all mere unfounded delusions.”

“I needed to see how a lot our charming one had improved. Sure. Since issues have unfolded this manner, permit me to share the story from 18 years in the past. It could be a bit prolonged.”

After dabbing her lips with some lukewarm tea, Altaire Eloy continued, “Have you ever ever heard of a company referred to as Genesis Society?”
