Sitting in entrance of the fireplace, Cameron hunched over, shivering from the chilly wind that blew.
Regardless of his relaxed demeanor, Cameron felt a chill run down his backbone. His face, stained crimson, was frozen in a tense expression.
It reminded him of Conler’s forest, the place he’d made a looking guess with Mary Conler.
And the place the place he was at present sitting bore a putting resemblance to that forest. The considered that forest introduced a way of unease, making Cameron’s throat constrict.
“However they mentioned that they had handled the monsters on this forest just lately…”
He had heard that the Conler household had handled the monsters on this forest whereas their Lord was nonetheless incapacitated.
He didn’t know what strategies they used, however contemplating how their Lord had been rendered in such a state and the disappearance of their solely younger woman, they couldn’t merely depart the forest, which had triggered these incidents, because it was.
He heard that when Grand Duke Conler awakened he took care of all the things however somebody will need to have been dealing with issues earlier than he awakened.”
There was additionally speak that the toxic mushrooms present in that forest created cursed monsters, and that analysis was yielding vital outcomes. Nonetheless, this info was saved extremely confidential.
Cameron’s father, the Emperor, was most curious in regards to the story.
The emperor, who already had reverence for the ability possessed by the Conler household, had been attempting to determine contact with them in any means potential, however the Coer household politely refused, utilizing the excuse that the present head of the household was not in good well being.
The emperor grew to become more and more irate in consequence and started sending the Conler household quite a lot of natural medicines and famend physicians.
The sight of it made Cameron cringe.
The circumstances that led to the Conler household dealing with the monsters and studying the key of the toxic mushrooms creating cursed creatures had been all occasions that had been made potential as a result of Cameron had proposed the looking guess.
Would any of these issues have been potential if he hadn’t proposed the guess? However the emperor solely scolded him and was on the mercy of the Conler household.
‘So when will this man present up?’
He hadn’t heard from X, who had disappeared because the looking guess, for fairly a while.
At first, Cameron thought he was a barely annoying man, however nonetheless, amongst all of the troublemakers Cameron had encountered to this point, he was probably the most succesful and clever. That they had labored collectively fairly properly.
In spite of everything, he’s the one who took down Estin Conler. It could be a waste to let him go like this.
Cameron was satisfied that this time, that man is likely to be the perpetrator behind Mary Conler’s disappearance. However why didn’t he seek the advice of with Cameron? He felt uncomfortable.
Cameron stared on the blazing hearth and made up his thoughts that at this time he would positively carry X beneath his command.
It could be much better for X to be beneath the First Prince, who would in the future be Emperor, than beneath the god of the underworld.
X could be second solely to the Emperor in energy on this empire.
At that second, Cameron heard rustling sounds from behind the timber. He was too startled to stand up and run, so he remained seated and pushed his butt again.
His coronary heart was pounding so onerous he questioned if he needs to be working.
If this forest he was in was certainly the identical forest as Conler’s, then what was behind him was undoubtedly a monster.
“Tsk.”
Maybe due to Cameron’s trembling determine, a definite mocking laughter was heard from behind.
“Wh, who’s it?”
Cameron shouted, unable to include his anger. His outcry additionally carried a determined hope that the one behind him was X.
“It’s been some time.”
“You might be…”
Nonetheless, the one who appeared was not X, whom Cameron had been eagerly awaiting, however Rex Bluea.
“What are you doing right here!”
“I needed to speak to you.”
Rex rolled his massive eyes. The motion was like two clear glass balls rolling over one another.
If Mary had seen them, she would have mentioned they had been the eyes of an angel, however sadly for Cameron, who’s in entrance of Rex proper now, they only look eerie.
“You slept properly.”
“You’re the one who introduced me right here!”
Livid, Cameron stood up abruptly, attempting to hurry in the direction of Rex. However Rex stopped him and drew a dagger from his pocket.
Cameron froze in place, wanting on the blade of the dagger that was glowing within the darkness.
“Do you keep in mind this?”
“P, put that down.”
“Sadly, I couldn’t get the identical factor.”
“Hey! In the event you stab me, it’s the dying penalty!”
Sadly, Cameron couldn’t reply Rex’s questions as a result of he was too afraid that Rex would flip round and stab him with the dagger in his hand.
Observing Cameron, who was trembling with worry, Rex let loose a annoyed sigh. What a silly human.
“I’m not going to stab you, so shut up!”
“…….”
Rex lastly lowered the dagger in his hand. Solely then did Cameron, who had been crammed with anxiousness, fall silent.
An ungainly silence hung between the 2.
Rex waited for Cameron to settle down fully, whereas Cameron was at present desirous about Rex in entrance of him.
“You, you bastard… How did you carry me right here!”
Now, he was curious.
Rex let loose a sigh and drew the dagger from his pocket as soon as once more. Cameron flinched, as if anticipating one thing dangerous. Nonetheless, Rex didn’t present any malicious intent as he did once they first met.
“Do you keep in mind what you probably did to Mary Conler when she was 9?”
Rex slowly twirled the dagger in his hand between his fingers.
As Cameron stared blankly on the act, he immediately recalled one thing he had fully forgotten—the incident when he framed Mary Conler after she received the looking guess.
“The day while you grew to become my enemy…”
“Simply due to that one incident?”
Rex’s fairly forehead furrowed. What on earth was mistaken with the human in entrance of him?
“However from then on, sure.”
“What!”
“That’s after I began to despise you.”
After studying about what occurred to Mary, Rex had made intensive preparations to hunt revenge towards Cameron.
The very first thing he studied was magic spells. He continued finding out magic spells to make sure that he might manifest his capability successfully.
At first, Logan was nervous about Rex’s curiosity in magic spells, however later he requested if he might share a few of his ardour for spells with Mary.
‘Magic spell patterns are like constellations.’
Learning and researching magic spells was difficult and tough, however Rex loved the method, particularly when he realized that they resembled the “constellations” that Mary had talked about one night time beneath the sky.
Would the constellation she talked about resemble this form?
Despite the fact that his intention behind finding out wasn’t fully pure.
“You, you mentioned you’re not going to stab me, you promised.”
“Oh, I’m not going to stab you.”
Rex replied a bit irritably. Though Rex had repeatedly assured him that he wouldn’t stab him, Cameron nonetheless appeared frightened.
Observing Cameron’s expression, Rex leisurely rotated the dagger along with his finger as soon as once more.
The explanation Rex drew the dagger in entrance of Cameron was to make him recall each single factor he had completed to Mary Conler.
Nonetheless, Cameron appeared too preoccupied with the fear that Rex would possibly stab him to spare any ideas for Mary Conler.
That half pissed Rex off, however when he thought of it, Cameron being that scared wasn’t a foul factor at this level.
Rex leisurely approached Cameron.
“Any further, you need to reply all my questions truthfully.”
“Oh, okay!”
How might somebody so cowardly commit such vital acts till now? It was clear that he had relied on the folks behind him and acted so boldly.
Proper now, there wasn’t a single one that might defend Cameron, so it was comprehensible that he was trembling like that.
“However consider carefully. If I’m going down, you’ll go down too!”
Hmm, he’s trembling, however his pleasure continues to be intact.
“However prince, give it some thought. Useless males inform no tales.”
“You!”
“Oh, ought to I allow you to converse?”
Was he at all times like this?
Cameron had by no means confronted Rex earlier than.
He had solely considered him as a nugatory man, deserted even in his family, with nothing however brute power. He had adopted after Mary Conler like a senseless idiot.
Did Mary Conler know he was like this so she saved him round? Maybe when Mary Conler returned, this man might turn into her biggest power.
“Now, then, let me ask you a query.”
“……what’s it?”
“The place is Mary Conler?”
“I don’t know.”
Cameron felt annoyed by the sudden curt response, however he held again and answered.
He couldn’t consider Rex Bluea had gone to all this bother simply to seek out out the place Mary was.
“You need to reply truthfully.”
“I mentioned I don’t know…”
“I don’t wish to hurt the Prince, however I can’t say the identical for the others.”
Earlier than Cameron might even course of what Rex meant, the bottom round him started to vibrate frantically, as if there had been an earthquake.
