Claude intentionally averted his gaze from me.

It was as if he had seen one thing ugly.

I opened my eyes with suspicion.

He wiped the sweat off his brow and shortly left.

…What? Why is it completely different from the earlier regression?

I may solely watch as Claude left, feeling dazed.

* * *

Contained in the espresso home owned by the Saboia Viscount within the capital metropolis.

I met a commoner who had unknowingly been concerned in cleansing up the inner affairs of a terrorist group.

To find out the reality, Dylan supplied him a reality serum.

“This can be a reality serum.”

The commoner confronted Dylan’s chilly expression, and concern overwhelmed him.

As he tremblingly reached out to drink the reality serum.

The Viscount Saboia spoke up.

“I heard that you simply noticed somebody much like our Diana. The place did you see her?”

The Viscount Saboia anxiously tapped the desk and interrogated the commoner.

“Inform me shortly.”

“Sure! That’s proper. It was on the Million Theater. She was a woman with blond hair and a smirk.”

“The place did she go?”

“I noticed her getting into a wierd home… After that, I noticed her a few month later. She was in Borghone District, coated in mud a lot that her hair and eye colour couldn’t be seen clearly, however I acknowledged her by her facial options.”

Borghone District was a spot that took over three hours by carriage from the capital.

It was not affordable to imagine {that a} younger little one may have gone there on their very own.

“…Is it little one trafficking?”

“That’s… sure.”

The commoner closed his eyes tightly and answered, unable to lie as a result of reality serum.

“Sure, I heard that every one the kids who misplaced their mother and father on the day of the terrorist assault have been despatched there…”

“What occurred after that?”

“I later heard rumors that they have been despatched to an unlawful childcare facility in Borghone.”

Now, all I needed to do was seek for traces of the unlawful childcare facility, “Sanggermane Nursery.”

The Viscount Saboia, who had solely searched childcare services within the capital metropolis, hesitated and mentioned.

“The identify of the unlawful childcare facility was Sanggermane, proper?”

The subsequent step was to search out any leads associated to the terrorist group “Pink Citadel.”

“The place was the primary department of the terrorist group ‘Pink Citadel’ situated?”

“That… cough.”

As quickly as these phrases have been uttered, the witness’s eyes started to show bloodshot.

It was an indication of imminent demise that Dylan had seen steadily.

Bang!

There was an instantaneous loud noise.

It was as if the bomb planted contained in the witness’s physique was about to blow up.

Fortuitously, Dylan raised his sword and instantly blocked the shockwave.

Instantly after, the Viscount shortly forged a protecting barrier.

“Cough! Cough! Ke, kch!”

Because of that, the witness averted demise.

Nevertheless, the unintended effects of the bomb magic couldn’t be averted.

At that second, because the witness sneezed and writhed in ache, one thing occurred.

A warning message was engraved on the witness’s palm.

[Those who disturb the Red Castle will pay with blood.]

It was a warning from the Pink Citadel, the Empire’s main terrorist group.

The Viscount Saboia, who had misplaced his little one to them, was consumed with anger.

“An indication of a brand new terrorist assault!”

The Viscount administered first support to the witness.

Afterward, he known as a mage from the tower who was exterior and had the witness transported to a physician.

Dylan quietly muttered as he watched the witness go away.

“Peace can be shattered.”

“…However earlier than that, we should discover our little one.”

Simply as they have been having a dialog, a messenger chook stored crashing into the window from exterior.

After they opened the window, the bluebird perched on the Viscount’s palm and chirped affectionately.

The Viscount, who understood animal language, furrowed his brows and mentioned.

“Oh, Your Excellency. Evidently your spouse is presently within the tower.”

Dylan’s eyes flickered with confusion on the sudden point out of “spouse.”

“What…”

He, who had at all times targeted on his duties like a rock, was now shaken.

The Viscount Saboia clung to the chook’s leg and handed him a paper, talking gently.

“Right here it’s. Please learn it shortly.”

It was an announcement from Helic that had flown from the archives.

Dylan instantly accepted the assertion and started to learn it.

[…(Strategy)…

Ah, finally, I add this note.

To Her Excellency Ishael… If the magician Pedro’s research presentation… (Omitted)…]

In Dylan’s eyes, he solely noticed Pedro and Ishael. These have been the one two issues that mattered.

“How dare that filthy scum method Ishael?”

No. Ishael approached him.

However Dylan was not in a state to make such rational judgments.

[ 5: The Night Dylan’s Desires Blossomed]

The Sage’s Tower, which was an hour away, was reached in simply 5 minutes.

The state of affairs was pressing and significant, leaving no room for distraction.

After Pedro was expelled, Ishael left the tower.

Secretary Helic hurriedly approached, his steps fast and anxious.

“Ah, have you ever seen that Pedro? That lunatic!”

“He dared to assault Ishael with a bomb with out even greedy the state of affairs. It’s infuriating.”

Helic raised an eyebrow and spoke.

“…Hahaha! So you would like it had occurred to you as a substitute? What a joke!”

Dylan fell silent.

Helic, who had been chuckling, widened his eyes and retorted.

“W-What? Are you critical?”

Dylan requested in a low voice.

“Effectively, even when I’m hit by that bomb, I gained’t die.”

It was a real assertion, however his expression…

“May or not it’s jealousy?”

“…”

“You’re jealous, even to the purpose of getting hit by a bomb? Is there even anybody who does that out of jealousy? I don’t suppose so.”

“What’s jealousy?”

Dylan contemplated over the idea of jealousy that Helic talked about.

So far as he knew, jealousy was an emotion that arose when one’s possession was taken away.

However Ishael was by no means his possession.

There was no method somebody as treasured as her may grow to be his insignificant belonging.

“Jealousy is jealousy.”

Dylan thought deeply in his thoughts.

“…So, isn’t jealousy a need to monopolize somebody, resulting in a worn-out love?”

“For those who’re asking for a dictionary definition, then sure…”

One other identify was engraved upon his feelings.

‘A need to monopolize.’

Dylan’s expression hardened.

Come to consider it, he had felt this emotion earlier than.

When Ford approached Ishael.

When Pedro despatched lewd glances in direction of Ishael on the ball.

He appeared to really feel this emotion when males with filthy wishes approached Ishael.

“Understood.”

“No, what else have you learnt…?”

“I noticed that I, too, had been blind to the state of affairs and had lengthy harbored wishes for monopolization.”

Helic mumbled with a puzzled expression.

“No, now you abruptly perceive the state of affairs and wishes for monopolization? Are you maybe into polyamory…?”

‘How dare I, a mere individual, have possessive wishes in direction of somebody so noble. I should die, but when I repent, I could also be forgiven.’

If he didn’t perceive the state of affairs and had a petty need for monopolization inside him, there was just one solution to dismantle it.

“That man, Pedro.”

“Sure?”

“He must be handled.”

“…Are you going to kill him?”

“No.”

“However…”

Helic stood nonetheless, swaying on his ft.

It was a second when he was considering whether or not to say that people normally don’t simply kill others.

Sadly, Pedro began approaching from a distance, dragging his physique alongside.

Dylan’s eyes gleamed naturally upon seeing his look.

“Rattling it! Rattling it! That lady! Ishael, that lady! She even tried to marry me!”

Pedro stomped on the bottom and cursed.

“That conceited lady! I ought to rip her face aside! That rattling bitch!”

He spewed out curses, and Dylan approached him resolutely.

There was no want for hesitation.
